THE HEROINE of the BORDER.
A THRILLING TALE.
KY C. J. PETERSON,
Lr was a lovely night in August, seventy
years ago. The sky had not a cloud; the
sir was soft and balmy, and the moon, sailing
silently on high, flooded wood and field and
river with her calm, pure light. Never siuce
the last evening in Eden, had mother earth
wore an aspect so like Paradise.
At the gate of a mansion, in the then newly
setiled town of Wheeling, stood two lovers
about to part. The solemn spell of the hour,
combined with the fsrewell they were boih
;boul to take, had cast a sweet sadness over
oth.
‘ltis a long rile to Shepherd's ford, and |
slmost fear for youn,' said a low, and pow tim
id voice, as the fair speaker looked up into
the fice of her companion. *Cannot you put
off this departure, Francis
The bold Virginian gaged tenderly down at
his beautiful companion, and then, as il io
stinctively, drew her to Lhim, imprinting a kiss
on her forehead, as he answered :
*You were not alwaye thus timid, Lizzy.—
I remember before you went to Philadelphia,
gou were the boldest girl of all the border;
ut to-night you are as fearful 4s a young doe.
You have come hack accomplished as o young
queen, but as nervous, too. A fne lady," he
continued, laughingly, *is not fit for a bride on
the frontier." ‘
‘I am not vaturally timid, as yoa know,"
earnestly replied his companion, blushing at
this raillery, *but these terrible Indians appal
me. You tell me they have held a great
council at Chillicothe, and have resolved to
take up the hatchet again. What if a band
of them should waylay you to-night 1
*Never fear it, dearest; they are far enough
off as yet. My information is in advance of
them, and we shull probably not sce them for
weeks, even if at all. I thought it my duty to
ride over and tell your father, however: ‘al
though," he added archly, *‘perhaps there were
other reasons which made me on'y too ready
to find an excuse for visiting Col. Zane.
‘I suppose my fears are foolish,” answered
bis companion, *but with woman. instinet,
they say,sometimes takes the place of reason ;
and‘ I feel as if some great danger surrovnded
us.
‘lt is tha moonlight, Lizzy, nothing else,’
gaily replied the luver 1 alwaysfeela touch
of sadness mysell, on 2n evening like this,—
Croovup, dearest, these are but idle fancies.
1 must, however. muke the most of thismoon
light, or it wili be dark betorc | reach the fort.
God bless you,' he added, as he kissed her
again, adding bravely, *if peril should assail
you. not ten thousand times ten thousend of
those red devils shall preveut Francis Duke
flying to your aid.
“In another moment he had leaped upon his
horse, which stood hard by, and with a pariing
wave of the hand, dushed off at a swinging
trot. ilis betrothed watched Lim till he dis
appearedin the gloom of the forest ; then with
a sigh, she re-entered her father's house.
The family was about retiring, and rever.
ently Kissing her parents, the beautiful girl
ascended to her chamber. Bur she conld not
sleep. An nodefinable sense of danger pres
sed upon her spirits, snd throwing aside the
curtain of her window, she sat down to gaze
without. As she loosed, a vision rose before
her of her lover hurrying along the forest
depths, while a savage ambuscade waited to
receive him, and so vivid was the picture, that
she rose, with a start of terror, and could
scarcely repress a cry. But the next instant
the illusion faded, the serene moonlight calm
ed her soul, and she resumed her seat, asham -
ed of ber idle terrors.
Thus hour after hour passed, her fancy
continually conjuring up new perils for her
lover, and her sober reason as constanly over
coming those visionary fears. Her sleepless
pess still continued. At last the moon began
to sink below the western forest. Slowly she
watched the lengthening shadows, as it disap
peared, until the landscape was entirely shroud
ed in gloom; and then with a last prayer, for
her lover's safety, she was about to retire
from the window, when herattention was sud
denly attracted toward what seemed a dark
moving mass on the edge of the neighboring
woods.
What could it be? Tle cattle of the set
tlement were all carefully housed, she knew ;
and it was an hour at which no human bei g
would be likely to be abrosd. Her undefina
ble fears again returned. Her heart fluttered
with a nameless dread. She concealed her
self instinctively bebind the window curtain,
snd watched this dark moving object for sey
eral momeats, until finaliy it emerged from
the shadow of the forest, when its uncertain
outlines resolved themselves into those of two
lodians in their war-paiot,
The curtaio fell from her hands, and she
sank into her chair completely unnerved.—
All ber late tremors were now explained.—
The hostile sevages, instead of being distant,
were close at hand. The very warriors she
had just seen might have intercepted her lov
er; and bis scalp might even now be in the
girdle of one of them. At this horrible idea,
she clasped her hands shudderingly over her
eyes, and for un instant, forgot her misery in
oblivion.
But this lasted ouly for a moment. Lizzy
Zane was no weak, timid girl, whom danger
rendered a burden to her friends : on the con
trary, her's was a soul east inthe heroie mould
of Joan of Arc, and others of the brave and
dauntiess of her sex. Hustily springing to
ber (eet, she cried : *This tremor is childish.
What if Francis is dead, since peril sutrounds
my parents, and not only them but the whole
settlement. The Indians have waited lill the
moon was down, to commence their attack,
bopiug to surprise us: and the two I have
seen, are doubtless their scouts, who fortu
nately for us, have shown themselves too
soou. I will rouse father at once. It will be
time to weep for the dead, when my duty to
the viug is fulfilled.
Wiith these words she hurried from the
chamber, thougl vot til! ebhe hadtiked anoth
or guarded look from the cascment. This
time not a living soul was in sight. She
rightly judged that the scouts had gone to
bring up their companions, and lost no time,
cousequently, in arousing the household.
At that period in the history of the West,
every frontier man slept ag iy were, on his
srms. But the presest summons w3B 80 uD
expected, and the assault of the savages so
entirely unlooked for, that preparations for de
fence could not be made with the usual care,
Col. Zane, on being aroused, sent servants to
summon his neighbors to the contiguous fort,
which stood about forty rods from his own
dwelling. About twenty men answered the
call, bringing with them their families, but
necessarily abandoning their stock and every
thiog else to thie chances of war. He deter
mioed to hold his mansion, it being favorably
situsied as an outpost, and containing large
stores of ammunition; and accordingly de
taining three men to assist him, he ordered
the remainder of his people to prepare for the
fort. 1o vain did his daughter entreat him to
sllow ber to remain with him: he bade her
remember that while duty made him stay, it
would be criminal temerity for her to remain ;
ond deluged with tears she obeyed his com.
mands.
Scarcely had the gates of the fort been
closed, (less than balf an hour had elapeed
since the first slarm,) when the army of save
§®B appeared emerging from the l{nfl. It
was not long before they suw (hat their ap
ro-eh bad been discovered, and that the
ort was io readiness to receive them; so with
8 yell of rage and hate, they rushed to the as.
sault,
‘Keep cool, my men,’ ssid the commandant
l'of the fort, an uncle of our heroine, *and fire
only wheo you can clearly miake out an lodi
‘an. ltis easy to confound the dusky devils
'with their shadows ; and this they konow; so
[ take care and waste no ammunition. The
' women will load foryou, when the hell hounds
came 1o close quarters and quick firing 15 ne
cessary ; fortunately, we have plenty of mus
kets, so that fresh ones can be handed to you
as fust a 8 vou reqiire them. 1 will set you
~an example, and my niece, God bless her, will
load for me, and show how an American wo
man can assist inthe hour of peril.’
His words were cut short by the necessity
for instant exertion. The ludians had by this
time crossed the field in front of the fort, and
' were approaching partly under cover of trees,
toward the enirance, hoping to force their
' way in. lostantly from the house of Colonel
;Zane. a 8 well as from the fort, a heavy dis
charge of musketry was opened on the savage
| nssailants. Every man in each edifice, knew
' that he was fighting not only for his own life,
but those dearer than hfe, Their wives,
,duughwu. and other female relatives, con
scious of the same truth, heroically assisted
i them, loading the muskets, as rapidly as they
| were discharged, and praying silently for aid
[ from heaven
| ‘Ha! they recoil”” shouted the command
‘ant, ‘the red skins ean't stand the fire of the
'desperate men. T'Le colonel is giving it to
them gallantly from his house. Hark! there
is a hurrah ! Let us give them back a cheer.
That was a true Virginia shout! God be
praised, the devils run! Huzza for victory !
With exclamations like these, the old sol
dier sustained the spirits of his men during
that short, but terrible conflict, until as his
last words betokened, the assailants were in
full light; and then another shout went up |
from the fort, which was answered back as
sturdily from the outpost, where with his
three assistants, Col, Zane kept his dwelling
against the savages. It was worth peril unto |
death to hear and participate in that huzza., |
Butif the defenders of Wheeling flattered
themselves that they had achieved a perma- |
vent trivmph, they were soon destined to dis- |
cover their misiake: The llndians, though |
repulsed, were not defeated, and after a slight !
interval were secn rushing again to the as- |
sault. Again, at the commandant’s injune- |
tion, the men withheld their fire till the sava- l
ges were close to the walls; again the mus- |
kets bluzed in an almost continuous stream ; |
again the women moulded bullets and loaded ’
the still smoking guns, and again the voice of |
the commandant rose high above the sharp |
crack of therifles, encouraging his subordi- |
nates, while the tond jovous shout of Colonel
Zanc answered huek from the ontpost, ns it he |
langhed at, and even rejoiced in his peril.— |
Meantime on the side of the assailants, the |
utinost fury prevailed. T'he loss of so many |
of their number had excited them to appa- |
rently demoniac madness; and their yells, al
ways hideous, now sounded like those of fiends |
let loose on earth. Their dusky, painted
forms, dimly seen by the red glare of the mus
kets, flitting hither and thither, as they dodged
from shelter to shelter in their approaches,
added to this terrible illusion.
‘Blaze away, my lads,” shouted the com
mandant, *for they begin to waver, and anoth
er volley or two will send them to the right
about. Ha! that red devil had his death shot
from my brother’s rifle. 1 know the crack of
the old piece. That's a brave gul, Lizzy;
you load to perfection. Now for this cursed
Wyandot that is climbing over the paling. 1
have my head upon him. There the rascal
tumbles. And see, appalled by his fall, the
restare making off! Huzza! huzza! huzza !
It was as he said. Headed by a young
chief, the Indians had suddenly broke from
their coverts in front, and dashed hke a pack
of hounds, ficrce for blood, at the palisades.
Their leader had reached his destination
first, and leaping as would a deer, had gained
the top at a single bound, when the rifle of
the commandant covering him, in an ins'ant
after, he fell dead withio the fence. s fie
was the signal for his followers to retreat ter
ror struck in all directious, an event which
was hailed by another shout from the fort, and
an answering huzza from the outpost.
*There, we ure safe for this night at least,’
said the commandant bringing the breech of
his rifle to the floor. *I never knew the red-
skinned devils 10 make two assaulis before, in
darkness; and the devil is in them il they risk
a third. But at daybreak, look out.” We
’shall have them on us again, at that hour, in
‘all their force, and howling like ten thousand
fiends incarnate. Such of yon as would like
to sleep, can do 60 ; it will be easy to wake
you il necessary.’
But all were too anxious to sleep. From
the loop holes of the fort, eager eyes continu
ally waiched the distant wood in which.the
savages had sheltered themselves, in order to
detect the first movemeot of the foe. The
prediction of the commandant, however, prov
ed correct. No further assault was ventured
that night. But an attempt was made to des
troy, by stratagem, the houso of Col. Zane,
the fire of whose defenders, had been, from
its proximity, particularly fatal to the Indians.
For this purpose, a savage crept up to it with
a lighted brand ; but watehiul eyes were on
the foe in the outpost, as well as in the fort $
and just s the Indian was about to apply the
torch, a shot sent him limping and howling
away.
Buring this cessation of the strife the
thoughts of our heroine recurred again to her
lover. But her uncle who perhaps suspect
ed her fears, cheered her by the assurance
that hie had escaped. *Nay, look not so dull,
Lizzy," he said ‘now that the battle is over.
Frank is safe, before this, at Shepherd's ford.
His route lay in the opposite direction to that
by which these devils clearly came. The
peril for him will be to-morrow, when he at
tempts to join us, for I know nothing of him,
if he don't gallop to our aid, even if he does
it alone.'
The dawn was now approsching. Wiih
the first gleam of light, the savages were seen
to be in motion ; but they did not risk a close
assanlt, as they had done in the night; they
sheitered themselves at a distance, opening a
desultory fire on the fort and outpost, seeking
to pick off the men in the garrison, one by
one. The men, however, kept themselves
carefully concealed, so that none were hurt ;
but on several occasions, a savage who had
tmomentarily exposed himself, met with his
death.
An hour passed in this desultory warfare,
when the commandant lookiog forih, said—
*What can the red skins he atnow? Here
Lizzy, your young eyes are sharper than my
old ones. Have they a wagon there 1’
‘lt looks like a cannon, only that Indians
never have such things. They are wrapping
someibing around it; ah, now Isee; it is a
hollow log, and they have taken some chains
from (he shop, with which they are binding
it Aud there too are cannon balls.’
*‘Now | understand it," said the command
aot laughing. “Jim Siokes who found his
way into the fort jus before daybreak, had a
lo4d of caonon balls in hig flae boat, when the
Indians surprised him last night. The fools,
I suppose, are about 1o fire them at us from
their hollow log' Batter s down with a
wooden cannon! Ha, ha! | fancy we ghall
first see some of the red-skins blown to King.
dom come!"
The Indians had by this time, finished their
preparations, and almost immediately after,
the crowd opening from around their impromp
tu gun, a match was applied to it. As the
commandant had foretold, the Crazy weapon
exploded, scattering death among the throng.
The first effect was to paralyse the savages;
the second was 1o arouse them 1o frenzy.
Breaking into ye!ls of rage, they burst from the
spot, taking the direction of Ihe fort, evident.
l{ determined to avenge the death of their
slsin, even if they perished themselves.
*Now my boys, comes the final struggle,’
said the commandant. *lf we repulse them
this time, the victory will be complete; but
if o single rigger fails, ourscalps will be dry
ing. belore a month, in the Wyandot lodges.

He wasalready taking his station, when his

| full of perplexity and even terror, for the first
time sinee the siege began.
’ *What s it, my child 7' quickly asked the
commandaat, his countenance assuming some
thing ot the look of hers, for he was aware
that no common incident could have worked
such a change in his niece. And he drew
her 1o one side, saying, *speak in o whisper.’
‘ “T'he ammunition is out,® was the reply,
l ‘unless there 1o moie hid away than you gave
to my charge.’
A blauk dismay settled onthe commandant's
countepunce,

l ‘Cannot some one,’ said his niece, ‘go to

almost certain death.’
l There was a moment's asxious pause.—
[Then, with no change in her countenance,

| answered :

astonishment,

But Frank e
F'ora moment her lip quivered. She grasp
ed her unele’s arm convulsively, gave him an
appealing look, and said huskily :
‘Don't—=don’t, But iet me go before it is
100 late.” i
~ I'he tears came into the old man's eyes.—
& He pressed bis niece to his bosom, and suid,
*go then, and God be with you, beroic girl!
And yer," he added glancing around, il it were
not for these poor women, and ¢hiidren, neith
er I, nor any man here wonld suffer it.’
Wien the intention of our heroine was
made known, several of the men iosisted on
talkiing her place ; hut her reply was, ‘not one
of you can be spared—=a woman will be lesy
missed.' Sadly the little garrison beheld her
depart on her terrible venture. ller uncle
himself, notwithstanding the danger, attended
her to the gate of the fort, which he himself
threw open, and with the fleetness of a young
fawn away she bounded.
The defenders of the outposts saw her de
porture, und though ignorant of its cause,
were teady to receive her, Col, Zane in per-
gon hunying to the door. I'he savages, too,
beheld Yer exit. At first, a dozen guns were
levelled at her, but when it was seco that the
fugitive, as they thought her, was a woman,
a contemptuous ery of *a squaw, a squaw,’
passed from one guttural throat to another,
and she was suffered to gain her dwelling un
harmed,
*What is the matter, my child 1" eried her
father, as she dashed into the doorway,—
[*Why do you thus madly risk your life !’
| *Weare out of powder,” breathlessly gasp
"ed onr heroine. *All is lost, unless I can car
ry back a sapply. Give me some quick, or
Lthe Inidians will have made their last rash,'
Land as she spoke, she sank, almost exhaust
ced, on a chair by the door,
| Foran instant her father regarded her in
(silence. Wonder, tenderness and admira
| tion succeeded each other in his heart, and
cwere depicted in his face. T'he whole peri)
ol her proceeding rose before him. Her re
turn, he well knew, would be through a gaunt
letof balls, which the savages on detecting her
purpose, would pour upon her. To escape,
with lifa seemed almost impossible. She was
his only daughter, too; it would break his
heart to lose her. But though human weak
~ness whispered ail this, tempting him to keep
her from retarning, his sense of duty i
~umphed; and with but a single moment’s de
lay, he snutched up a table cloth, which he
bimseil fastened around her waist, while in
answer (o his eager calls, one of his compan
ious brought a keg of powder and poured it
in. Then, snaiching a hasty kiss, he threw
open the door, and with a voice heroieally
calm, and a look Nike that of Abraham, when
about to sacrifice his only son, he eried—+run
tor your life, and God Lelp us both !
Away she bounded again, but this time
fleeter than before, if that were possible. The
savages hailed her appearance with a storm of
yells, for with the craft of their race, they in
stantly divined her purpose. A score of rifles
stnultaneonsly were bronght to shoulder,—
Some of the lodians fearful she might escape,
fired at once. I'lie balls whistled close by.
hut siie was unharmed. Others took time to
aim, and the shots fronr these now began to
sing past her; but still, as il protected by
miracle, she bonnded on apparently unhurt,
Her father stood watching her, oo absorbed
to speak, but Lis heart beating like a forge
bammer. Nor was her uncle less dumb with
emotion. Others, however, were not so
breathlessly silent,
‘See,’ cried one of the garrison, ‘thet ball
went through her apron; the powder pours
out of the hole. She darts forward like an
arrow. T'he shots rattle azound her like bail,
but she is stll unhurt. Only a few ruds re
main. Heavens, she is struck ! No, she on
ly tripped a I'ttle ; she is up again; the stum
ble has perhaps saved her life, tor the balls
went over Lier like wild pigeons on the wing.
Huzza, she g 2 s the gate, sheis safe. Thank
God! thank God!” And the weather beaten
borderers burst into tears of mingled Jjoy and
excitement, in which the women loudly shar
ed, as they rushed to welcome our heroine
back.
Her uncle who had hurried to ihe gate to
meet her, now brought her forward. *Yes,'
he cried, *hang rouad her, embrace her, thank
her forshe hassaved all of our lives. Tuere,
thatis enough; to your posts, all of you; for
the yell I hear, announces that the savages
are renewing their assault. But ha! What
i 8 this 1" hie cried, as he was taking his post at
his loop hole, and looked out. *A horsemaun
dashing towards the gate, and 'tis Frank Duke
as I live. [le cries toopen to him. A show.
er of balls are fulling around him. Ruo, Liz
zy, and let him in,’
“He turned his head to address his niece,
but she had already darted to the gate. Well
was it that she had been so quick, for just as
the lurg open the portal, a shot struck her
lover, and he fell headlong from his horse.
The savages wers close behind, and mad with
8o many {wlures, seemed bent on securing
his scalp ot every hazard ; a dozen, indeed,
were alieady within so many yards of thegate,
The hesitation of a moment would have lost
all. But in that crisis, our heroine's pres.
ence of mind did pot desert her; she rushed
forward outside the gate, seized Frank by the
arm, and with superbuman energy, dragged
him stagge:ing within the gate ; then letring
him fall, hasuly elosed and barred the portals,
As she placed the huge piece of wood across
the solid doors, she felt them quivering with
the tomakawks hurled at her and Frank in
the last effort of baffled rage, but the thick
plinks were between her and the murderous
weapons, and she knew the peril was past.—
She fell on her knees, a 1 this conviction, be

time, had been most deadly ; the list rush of
the savages had exposed them to great losses ;
and almost simultaneously with the rescue of
Frauk, the assailaots fell back. The siege in
fact, was now over, as the commandant had
predicted it would be. But it was vot till the
third day that the savages finally broke up
from betore the fort, und returned acrose the

Before that time, Frank was out of danger,

fore daybreak, and finding that it ran in the
direction of Wheeling, had put spurs to his
horse and galluped back to the wid of the
scanty garrison,
The scquel 1o our tale may be imagined.
The heroine and her lover were in due timme
united. Never did the Old Dominion beliold

beauteons hrides, and numerous her gallant
bridegrooms, And history, we may add,
may be searched in voin for a deed of female

those that follow, viz : Loss of Muscular Energy, Physical
Lassitude, and deneml Prosteation, or any u" the conse
quences of youthful indiscretion, or indulgence of the pas

ever discovered. In fuct as a remedy for the abuve com
plaints it stands unrivalled and alone, There is no other

Dr. \\'cmfwnrd, of the Massachusetts Insane Hospital,
writes of one of Lis patients being cused by using this cor

my patients, while in Boston, procured some of your Cor.

he commenced taking it, while vefore he hud two or three
nweelk., When heapplied to me,” says Dr. W, ‘I thought
it hardly possible for him ever to regnin his full strength.
I prescribed the usual medicine used in those cases in the
hospital, but they had no etfect. In the meantime, he
urchased some of your Cordial, which has effected a cure,
.I nin satisfied no other medicine would, |1 shall ever re
commend it, whenever an opportunity occurs,”
T'he Medical Journals have not, in n giugle instance
thnt bas peen authenticated, given their sanction to any
uiher prerurulmm for the above complaints. It has in
many violent and desperute cases, effected radical cures,
alter patients had been avandoned and ‘heir condition
pronounced hopeless by medical practitioners of high pro
fessional character,
CAUTION—Ask for Dr. Morse’s Coirdial and take ne
