Grandmother's Dream.

‘‘ We shall have a visit from the Indians

before night,” remarked my grandmother, looking across the breakfast table at grand- father. ‘“ Well, I hope we will,” replied grand- father a little doggedly. ‘‘ You are eternally predicting an Indian raid, and just to please you I hope we shall get a call from at least a hundred.”

‘* Look out, Peter Barnes! You may have cause to regret that speech before you are a day older. 1 dreamed last night just how they came, and what they did, and it makes my blood run cold to think of it.”

Grandfather made no reply, realizing that she always had the better of him in argument, and the meal was finished in silence.

A year before my relatives, both of, whom were nearly 70 years old, but strong and hearty, sold out cheir farm in Ohio and locat- ed in western Kansas, Their children were all married off, and the old couple were en- tirely alone. They had a stout and comfort- able log cabin, good farm, Sand had already made iiaty improvements.

The location was not thought to be a dan- gerous one, although a few miles below the last hamlet in that section and three miles in advance of the location of the previous settler, the Indians had raided this part of the coun- try the year before; but the soldiers had given them a severe rebuke. and it was not believed that they would dare to venture back again. Grandfather was certain that he would not be interrupted in his peaceful pursuits, and was annoyedj that grandmother should croak of evil.

More because it was the custom than from

any idea that he would ever have any use for it, grandfathet kept a rifle in the house, and one day, when a settler who was owing him money and could not pay, brought a revolver to him as the only offset he could offer, grand- father took it and laid it up on a shelf. In her young days grandmother had been an emphatic ‘‘romp,” She could skate, play ball, pitch quvits, ride at a gallop, shoot a rifle, and even to the day she was married went by the name of ‘ Bailey’s Tombey,” yet after all, she made a good wife, and was the ‘*making” of Peter Barnes.

She stood in the door that morning and watched Peter bring his horse and plow and drive off through the fields to his work, half a mile away. Then she looked to the west back at the sun, and went in and took the rifle drown from its hooks. 1t had been load- ed for months, and she drew the bullet, care- fully wiped the barrel, and loaded the weapon again as nicely as a hunter could have done it. Placing it in a corner, she went to an oll chest, fished out powder, lead, caps and bullet molds, and soon had fifteen or twenty shining bullets on the table. Then the revolver was got down, cleaned up, loaded, and finally she went to the door to look for her husband.

She could see him following the plough in the distant field, and the happy songs of the birds were anything but harbingers of a com- ing affray in which more than one of those shining bullets would find a human target.

‘« Peter Barnes, you are an idiot!” spoke the woman, watching him a moment. ‘‘I don’t want harm to come toa hair of your head, but you will get a fearful lesson before noon this day !”

The arms being in good order the woman shut the door, nailed it up and then nailed boards over the widows on the inside. The south door fastened with a bar, and she was satisfied with its strength. She went to the spring, filled two pails with water, picked up and carried in the ax and then cleared the table of dishes, not stopping to wash them. Then she sat down in the south doorway and waited—waited for the Indians attack which she had dreamed of and predicted.

An hour passed and she had not changed her position. Half an hour more wore away, and then she suddenly leaped up and seized her rifle. She had seen the horses stop and begin so rear and plunge as they came near the south end of the field, which was fringed by the forest. She saw her husband pulling them and using the whip, but in a moment more the animals dashed off at full speed. Just as they started grandmother heard a faint “ Yi! yi!” and the next moment caught sight of a score of savages as they dashed out of the woods and made for her husband.

‘* Just exactly as I dreamed,” she whisper- ed to herself, lifting the rifle clear of the floor.

Grandfather caught sight of the red-skins as soon as they broke cover, and he wheeled and made for the house at the best pace. For a few rods he held his own, but then his seventy years began to tell on him, and the shouting Indians began to gain. They were thirty rods behind him at the start, but before half the distance to the house had been traversed they were not ten rods behind.

‘Run, father! run for your life!” shouted graadmother, waving her ha nd to him; and he did his best.

But the old man did not have it in him. He was within rifle shot of the door, when the redskins bore him down to the grass, right in plain sight of his wife. Five or six of them halted to take care of the prisoner, and the rest, whooping and yelling, made for the house. Grandmother stood square iu the door, and the rifle was slowly lifted.

When the foremost savage was twenty rods away, out on a line with the barrel, there was a quick report and the Indian fell forward on the grass. Then she stepped back, closed the door, and the next moment the shouting demons jumped against it. The door stood like a rock. Baffled and disappointed, the Indians hacked at the boards with their toma- bawks, as if to hew their way in. Striking away, one of the blows fell on a knot in the plank and the knot fell at the woman's feet, while a hele as large as a man’s fist was left in the door. Encouraged by this the Indians were chopping away, when grandmother seized the revolver, took swift aim and a hor- rible yell mingled with the report. The In- dians then fell back to where they had left their prisoner, and were out of range.

Grandfather had his arms tied behind him, and after a few miuntes walked out a few feet in advance of his captors. He looked at the house, then looked back and refused to obey the command given him. The Indians ad- vanced, drew their tomahawks, and then the captive shouted : :

‘*Nancy! Nancy! unbar the door, leave

directly the redskins forced the old man to speak again.

‘‘Nancy,” he called, ‘“‘the Indians say if you don’t come out they will marder me right here.”

lt was the hardest struggle of her long life; but grandmother realized that both would certainly be murdered if she complied, and that if she held out there was hope that help might come from immigrants or hunters before night. ‘Tears came to her eyes, and she could not choke down her sobs as she thought of her husband's fate; but she was determined to resist to the last. As she did not reply, one of the Indians, who could speak English quite well, stepped out and shouted :

‘Come, hurry up, quick. You no come out, we kill old man.”

‘* Peter Barnes,’ shouted old grandmother, her mouth at the knot hole, *‘I know that you don’t want me to come out, and I shall not come. I have the rifle and revolver, and I shall defend the house to the last! Be on your watch fora chance to break away and run to the house.”

The Indians understood sufficient of the speech to know that the woman did not pro- pose to surrender, aid they gathered around the prisoner and held a consultation. At length, leaving two of their number to guard him, the others, fifteen in all, made a detour and collected on the pvorth side of the house. They had no arrows to fire the house from a distance, but gathered brush and piled it against the north door to force the,woman to come out.

She had no loopholes on that side, but going up stairs she softly removed astrip of *‘chink- ing” from between two of the logs, thrust through the hand holding the revolver, and shooting by guess badly wounded one of the savages.

With a great whooping and yelling the rascals drew out of range and held another consultation. In afew minutes they all re- appeared on the south side, gathered about grandfather, and directly struck a couse for the woods from which they had first issued, grundfather being led along behind. The woman watched them with the greatest anxiety, believing that they had abandoned the seige and that she would never see her husband again.

(Conclusion in our next.)

An Extensive Eviction.

A special from London to the New York Times says: ‘‘ Evictions on the Vandeleur estate in West Clare will begin tc-day and this will not tend to sooth the present feverish state of party feeling. One hun- dred and fourteen families, representing 1000 people, are to be turned out of their homes for refusing to pay what they deem exorbitant rents. The evicting force con- sists of 500 dragoons and infantry in addi- tion to constabulary, and preparations are as elaborate as they might be for a small war. All the houses are barricaded, but the police are provided with battering rams. The parish priests are actively engaged counselling submission and it is weped there will be no blood shed. Arrears “Of Tent amount to £80,000. This large sum, how- ever, is mainly due to the arbitrary raising of rentals in 1874, which most of the ten- ants have never been able to pay. In con- sequence the iate Colonel Vandeleur was defeated for parliament mainly by his ten- autry. Those who paid the increased rents became impoverished, and finally all the tenants joined the plan of campaign. The offer of the landlord is to wipe off all ar- rears to March, 1886, for one full year’s rens vith 32 per cent. reduction. The tenants demand that the arrears be wiped off to a year’s later date with 20 per cent. reduction of judical, and 35 per cent. of non-judical rents. The eviction appears to be taking place over a verysmall difference, and it senms as though such harsh measures, 80 injurious to all parties, could be avoided.”
