00 TIM, THE SCOUT.- Before any one could divine his intention, he firea two pis- tols, one at Ed. Lewis and the other at Tim Whalen, and darted around the lodge in rapid flight. Fortunately, in his excited state, he missed Ed., and wounded Tim only slightly in the shoulder. The scout darted after him, but, dropping upon his knee, he drew a fine bead upon the running man with his rifle. } “Shall I shtop him, major ?” he said. “ Wire!” said the major. The rifle cracked, and the captain came to the earth with a broken leg. Before he could rise, he was in the grasp of the hated Yankees. : A few words will tell his after fate. He was taken to In- dianapolis, and while there his leg healed. One night he turn- ed up missing, and his intrigues were again felt among the tribes.. It did-not last long, however, for he fell at the battle of the Thames, close by the side of Tecumseh. Nobody ‘mourned his fate. Walter Rashleigh sold out his southern property and set- tled on the bank of the Wabash, where he became one of the most prominent land-owners.in the country, and in time a legislator. | The war continuing, both Ed. Lewis and his Irish friend found work enough to do, and the marriage of Ed. was _de- ferred. When Tecumseh fell he came home, and they were married with festivities which were the talk of the country round about for six months. Tim Whalen got. gloriously drunk upon the occasion, in which he was ably seconded. by his old comrades in arms. Even Cub, on this occasion, found | his broad feet hardly a match for the weight of his head, Tim Whalen finally married a girl of his own nation, and — “entered” a farm not far from Ed. Lewis’. He liked, even in old age, to tell his children of the days when he. went with James Wilson to Prophet’s Town, and fought the panther in the tree. 2 THE END, e Gomicnoookxs.com
