She came before the Indian war; was a tiny little thing at the time of all that terror, but remembers it all just as Aunt Bilen does, “There were four little girls in that family, and the mother had grown too tired on the long, hard trip across the new country, and Defore they reached Seattle she had gone to sleep-—never to wake ain this world. “The oldest of them was about 14, and she had to be the little mother for the others. “One night when they had lived only a short time In the strange new place the father left the chil- @ren alone in the cabin to go see neighbor, You knew how you 1 when you find yourself alone in a house; it Is a creepy feeling even to some grown-ups, and these little girls had much to fear. ‘The forest was so big and black, the Indians were so savage and queer, there was no mother to cuddle them and tell them how God is everywhere and loved them tenderly.
