THE STORY OF INDIAN SPRING.
PART II.
"It was as I had feared; we were in danger of an attack from the
Indians.
"Something had happened at the trading-post to provoke them, and rouse
their thirst for blood. But a quiet night passed by and the sun shone
again over the hills in wonderful beauty.
"Suddenly, there sounded from the forest a scream. I had never heard it
before, but I knew it. It was the terrible war-whoop. Then all was
confusion and horror.
"I saw Nanito, an Indian that I knew, who had eaten at our table. I saw
him strike down our father, while Lizzie fought to save him.
"But it was no use, there was no mercy in the heart of the Indian. They
carried Lizzie away from us, and we never saw her again.
