We cannot stop. We must save ourselves and our families. Nothing can save you.’ “The doctor stayed right by and did all he could, And after three years of friendahip they were mar- ried, and he brought her to Seat- tle to share his home in the funny log storehouse by the water's edge, “Then came the Indian trouble, and the government enid it needed the friendly doctor and hits kind, Wine wife over at the reservation near Port Madison. “Remember now, this was at the time when the very woods whispered tales of horror and Massacre; When men were guther: ing Into villages and building stockades and forts, And when no Might settled over the territory but held its full meawure of dread of what might come before morning.
