On a road leading from 'Dover (United Siates), over Rochester Hilly to a spot known in those diye as Witeh¥Trot, a men bj' the name of Silas Herd ilta cal in the midst of a email ring, end eel himeell dawn with his family f ough it as a pioneer in the wilderness. ' Their nearest neighbors ware good two miles distant ; and the road to them, and the settlements at Dover, which is now so good, was then little better than a path through the forost, to guide those to and from who had oceasion to pass that way. His family consisted, besides himself, a! a wife and two emall children, and his grandmother, apd old woman of nearly. eighty years of age, whose own children, one alter another, had left her, until she had wone but ber grandchild to look to for SUPPL: - a One afternoon, Silas Herd' started on a visitdo the setle low, saying that he would be back by nightfull. He had some business there which needed his at- tention, and he thought he might as well attend to it then ae at any other time. Be- fote-sdtungeut, he warned his wife not to @o Iarwway (rom the%oabil, or allow' the children to do so, on account of the Judians, and then departed. The afternoon wore away but alowly te the inmates of the cabin, ull at last came sunset, The children, who had been play- ing sbout the cabin, naw tired of their eport came in and sea'ed thamselves on the floor at her feet. The work about the cabin had all been one up ; end as it was n* yet time to prepare the evening meal, sue bethought herself what she should 0. She suddenly remembered that her hus- band had said something about a rent in hie freer which he had exchanged for an- other. and hung upon a wou'en peg in one eoruer of tha cabin. Now was the time for hero make it whole before he would wear it nai; and, rising from her seat, she went to the spot where it hung, and reached up her hand to take it down. As she did eo, three drops of fiesh blood fell death, * What is it, Susan ?' asked the old lady 'rom her corner. The, frightened woman turned to her and showed her the three drops of fresh blood upon her hand. «It ie a warning, Sosan' said the old dady solemnly. ¢1've known such things 10 happen belore, at Salem, A mon went out hunting in the forest and his wife had jaet such a warning as this. He never vame back alive. The Indiana killed and scalped him; end people thought that he had died at the very moment when the drops fell on her hand. «And would you have me think that haim has come to Silas?' she askel, in a tone of terror. «I don't know, but I am afraid it is a warning,' said the old lady, with a sulemn shake ol her head. «1 do not believe it! 1 will not believe it!" cried Susan ; 'tle blood came on my hand in rome natural way. Perhaps the cal caught a mouse overhead, and the blood dropped down through the cracks in the floor." = «The cat nas been lying there on my bed asleep for mote than au hovr,' eaid the old lady, determined to make things as bad ae eho could. ¢I'm afiaid 1's a warnirg to ua,' With trembling nervousness the young wife examined the garment she held in her hand ; but there was no sign of blood vpon it as lar as she could see. Then she went up to the loft above and googht about for a cause, but found none. There were no signe of anything like blood upon the boards or beams above the spot where the garment hadthung; and eo she descended again to the floor of the cabin, and reported to the old dame the result of her examina- tion. «It is a warning, I tell you, child 2' she said, in a eo'emn tone. 40h, why did Silas leavs the cabin to-day # « Why, indeed 2 moaned Susan. ¢ Still, I cannot believe that any harm has come to him." Susan seated herself at her work again; but her trembling fingers Would not allow her to make much progress. Over and aver again her goze went out through the window to watch for the coming of her husband or danger ; and it was as much a» she could Jo to bring her mind 10 the task before her. _A\ lust she managed fo-finish it, and hung the garment upon the peg from which abe had taken jt. Then, with » glance at the blood-stia "which still re- mained vpon her hand, she weni te the door of the eabin; end gazed long and earnestly in the direction of the forest in which her husband had disappeared, in hope of seeing him returning. The sun was going down. It had touch- ed the tops of the forest trees lo the wesl- ward, and already its rays had quilted the earth, and 'were for a moment resting Bpou the summit {of the cabin. Oh, that her husband would but return before the dark- ness should come down filled with unknown dangers ! But perhaps it was not in his power to do so. If the blood-stain was indeed a warn- ing, it might be that he had already fallen. fhe horrot of the thought sent back the blood from her heart, and made her face almost as pallid as death, Suddenly her gaze was altracted by an object moving in the of the forest, -- At first she thought it was her husband returning ; but soubor gle showed that she was misjaken ; and & lig of almost 'otter despair took posse ,of her heart when she saw im LA 3 redekin, prowl- ing along the e's of 'lia clearing as if for the pups o qbserving what was going on sbout the cabin, > The thought of the threa drops of blood had not left her mind fora smoment ; and at the sight of the ~ savage, and the stories the old dame had, came back with redoubled force. rely s terrible | {ate was impending over: them j and most likely, her husband was Bo. sare. With another glance of towards the forest, she closed door and {WHOLE NO. 708 The old dame saw the movement, and she immediately exclaimed, * What is it, Susan?

The old dame shook her head sagely from side to side, ¢You may depend upon it that them three drops of blood was a warming. What else could they be 7 But make all safe as you can, Sueani.

Ain Tk with energy. ¢ No, | am glad he has hia rifle and may it protect him from may dan- ger.' . : The young wifp turned away, and oare- {oily examined the factening of the caken shutters to-thigirtwo small: windows; then seeing that éverything was as secure as it could be made in this direction, she retu ad to the side of her children whom, ele proceeded to hush to sleep, while the dusk shadows gathered within the cabin jhicl and fast. Nearly an hour had gons past, and the night had fairly set in. Eagerly had the young wife listened for the sound of her hasband's footsteps ; but they had not as yet echoed without. Neither was there the stealthy tread of the savages which -ske teared to hear, All wae asslill as death and between hope and fear she continued to listen. Five, ten minutes more passed, and then slie gave a sudden start. 'The sodnd of a footstep came to her ear fiom without, It was low and stealthy, snd unlike that of her husband's, which ehe was so well sc- quainted with. Nearer and nearer it came and at last ap- proached the door ; and she held her breath with apprehension, for she knew well en~ ough now thai it was a eavage with whom she had to deal. Tha footstep ceased, and for a moment & perfect silence reigned without. Thep it was broken by a rap upon the door, follow- ed by the voiceof a savage demanding ad mitance. « What do yon wart?" asked" Suean, ina Vie Lramu eae With the in she fet. z : , ¢ Why equaw, open door ; me wanle to come in,' replied ili voice of the savage, which she recognized as tne whom they had often entertained at the cabin, and who seemed friendly. Silas is gone, and he bade me admit ng one,' rhe replied. ¢ White equaw open door or ingin break it down !' cried the savage in a meaning tone ; and he followed up his words by dealing it a violent blow with what appear ed to be a billet of wood which he had picked vp. ¢ [a not my word coming true,' croaked the old womun, who seemed possessed of no fear except that the warning should not be literally interpreled by her words snem face Mare footsteps now sounded about the cabin, und Susan knew tkat the savage had been joined by owners. For a few minutes thev seemed to hold a c:nsultation ; and 1 a few moments there came another and more violent blow at the door. ¢ God help us !" cried Susan, they are really in earnest. Ouce more they made a demand for ad mittance, but a perfect silence was sll the answer. . Fast and Furious the >'ows now fell upon the door, and it trembled and shook as though it was about to fall from its position. Beside her children Susan cowered, while the old dame continued to mutter the veri= fication of her worde.
