ABIGAIL'S VISITORS.
nv ii uni: huh.i.s.
"There ls nothing 1 dislike any
more, my daughter, than to go away
fruin tbs plate to-day and leave voa
and tbs children alone," sahl Farmer
Silov.r, as he disposed of his powdar
flask and took down his ride from the
side of the kitchen wall.
"Obi Berat mind us. Daddy," said
Abigail, cheerfully. "Of connie lt will
be lonesome with you and mother both
gone, but we'll be Bfl Dui
wm.) one blt about us."
"I am not so sure about lt being
safe," replied her father. "Thc in?
dians are none too friendly nowadays,
and they are getting more restless
each wet);. Even old Nakomls, who
has always bl '. terms with
the settlers, avoided me a day or two
SgO wh.n 1 w. ut across the clearing,
and I'm afraid lt all means trouble to
the whites."
"Hut, father," went on Abigail, ' Mr.
Grey and all the other neighbors have
been so kind when you needed help
?hat you can't stay away to-day when
they are to finish putting up the house
with thfs day's work. You know I'm
on pretty good terms with our red
neighbors. Why," she added, laugh?
ingly, "1 can talk a little Indian."
Jonathan Sllover, In company with
a small party of easterner*, their
wives and children, had coma late 'he
wilderness of Michigan seven mootbs
before this, in the hope of founding
homes in what waa the farthest point
of the known west After mont ha of
hardship and toil, the lu
to be finished on this day. and on thu
morrow corn was to lie planted In the
small patches which Um
had been able to clear.
"Now, children," said t,he elder sis?
ter, after watching the father well out
of sight, "if you see an Indian coming
to-day I want you both to hide as fast
aa your feet will take you. If I see
them first," she went on. with her
arms about the small brother, "I'll
rap on the fireplace tin-.
then you are to get out of -
soon as possible. Don't go out of
doors once, for we must
gether all day." And with a few more
Instructions, she was soon about her
work, trying to forget the dangers of
hostile Indians.
The day wore on, and when the sun
Indicated that the time was drawing
on for the father to return. Abigail
got out the kettles, hung them on the
crane and put on the water to heat
for the mush, "ajhe appearance of that
article on the table usually called
forth some laughing remark from the
eastern-bred girl, who was making a
brave effort to bc happy In a wilder?
ness. Just as the water cnn.- I
to bubble, three sharp blows were
struck upon the hearth, and nt the
asms instant the frightened little
forms dropped Into the hole under tho
floor, which was reserved for limes of
such peril, and the loose plank wa3
quietly put Into place.
Tho next moment a tall Indian,
whose quick eye saw only a young girl
quietly dropping handfuls of yellow
meal into the bolling water, appeared
at the door. A nod was exchanged be?
tween the girl and the chieftain, whose
entrance was followed hy another and
another, until six Indians stood In tho
room, each with painted fare and
deoked In the trappings of war. The
silence was unbroken for several min?
utes, save for the steady movements
of tha Iron spoon, wblch was grasped
In Abigail'! quivering fingers. At
length Nakomls, who hud hitherto hf d
himself friendly toward the whites, ad?
vanced a step and said In a heavy,
guttural tone, '"NVhlte man home?
Nakomls would have speech with
him."
Nakomls spoke a little English and
had taiight Abigail the few Indian
words ihe knew.
"My father," replied the young girl,
looking the brave straight in the face,
"la not far off. He will be here in a
moment What do you want with
him?"
"No tell little white face," returned
tha man, leering at ber. "she 'fraiii.
She big coward. While man coward
White man go," and be added wick?
edly, "I kill him. Injun get all white
man's scalp," and going toward tho
girl, with his cruel eyes upon her fact,
he laid one hand on his tomahawk and
atretched the other toward her.
With a wild cry, born of the des?
peration of the moment. Abigail Sll?
over raised the spoon filled with boll?
ing mush, and as the Indian almost
had her lu his grasp, she dashed it
full into his face. As he tumid with
a howl of rage and pain, she grabbed
an iron dipper from Its nail at the sido
of the hearth, filled it with the por?
ridge and flung lt at the red man's
neck and head as he fled through tho
door. The other Indians attempted to
Btop the now Infuriated girl, who knew
she was fighting for her life, hut as
each turned toward her he r.

In a few seconds the last one of the
lix left the door of the cabin, smart?
ing with pain and race, the contents
of the kettle being abos! evenly dis?
tributed over the bodies of the half
Jozen Chippewas. loiter on no ona
sss known to have died from the re?
sults of his burns.
Wbsa Jonathan Silover returned to
lils home accompanied by his nelgh
iors, in response to the four shots
Irom the rifle. Abigail was lifting her
inls brothers ont of their pl-'
tafety. and. as she sank limply Into
ler father's arms, she said, with an
ittempt at her old gayety, "Daddy, w?
:an't have any mush for supper."
This incident happened 20 milea
rom where Detroit now is, and by tha
ipot where the Sllover cabin then

recipe reads:
"To make the drink that Is now much

In a recent paper to the London In
ii of the Mechanical Engineers,
Mr. J. H. Wicksteed showed that
spongy, malleable iron, made direct
from the ore, was much employed for
in! weapons about 400 B. C., the
time of the earliest records of accurate?
ly known date, and received great at?
tention in the time of Homer, 880 B C.
