This boy was 1C years old in 1T77when
General Burgoyno started from Canada for
Albany , and his name was David Spafford.
Ho lived with bis ( atbcr and mother and
two llttlo slstera on a ( arm away up In the
Green mountains of Vermont , where the
winters are long and the snow sometimes
lies four feet deep for weeks at a time. I
myself have known the -weather to bo so
cold there that Ice formed In the river more
than six feet thick.
It was about the middle of August , 1777 ,
that a messenger came to Mr. Spafford's
every few minutes drinking again and again
of the rum. Ono after another of the sav
nge * became so Intoxicated as to fall down
In the enow , and then they rolled over and
over In the feathers , which stuck to their
bodies , until finally every one of the band
lay there , stupefied with liquor , unable to
move hand or foot.
All this time David and his father , hidden
In the hay , scarcely dared to breathe , for
fear of betraying themselves , but now had
come the moment for action.
"Wo can't ' tell how many more of the
savages may be coming along , and so wo
dare not kill these , although It would bi
an easy matter , " eald Mr. Spafford. "It's
almost daylight , too , and we must be mov
ing. Open the rear door , David , and push
the bobsled out on the enow I guess the
crust Is thick enough to bear it now. Then
help me down , and we will make one
desperate effort to get a-way. "

The bravo boy crawled noiselessly down
from the haymow , and did as he was bid.
Ho placed a quantity of straw In the sleigh
and wrapped his father up In a buffalo robe ,
for the cold was intense. Then he stepped

NEW YORK , Jan. 5. To wise nnd watch
ful mothers who are launching their debu
tante daughters in Now York society this
winter a more promising matrimonial mar
ket was never open. That Is , If they are
ambitious parents socially and have an cyo

as all Now York society mothers assuredly
have. It is perfectly true , of course , that

farm and told how Burgoyno had been trav

desire to kill , ecalp'and burn. The mes

r , warr/or / BO. tall and heavy as to bo a giant ,
and ' known as the Wyamlet Panther , had
'murdered the 'beatitlful ' daughter of a Scotch
clergyman ; Jenny McCreawho was visiting
a friend at Fort Edward.
After , this act General Burgoyno had lost
control of his Indians , and in email bands
they -wero overrunning the country. Mr.
Spafford must come at once and Join t l com-
r * panriof Vermont jfarniers jiiofJinilBr Col
onel " "Stark , were going1 to protect their
tomes and drive Indiana and Hessians altko
from the country. So Mr. Spaftord went ,
and was badly wounded at the 'battle of
Bennlngton. After that hewas taken home
and stayed until winter came , when he in
sisted that his wife and daughters should
go to make a long visit in a large town
( eomb' , twenty miles away.
Thus it happened that when New Year's
day came David Spafford and his father
were living alone in the farm house , taking
care of the horses and cows , and hoping
each morning word would bo brought that
peace had 'been declared.
One night whllo they were in bed they
beard a man shouting nnd kicking at the
door. David jumped up and let him in. Ho
was a farmer who lived five or six miles
further In the mountains. HIM clothing was
torn , his face was coveied with blood , and
he had snowshoes on his feet.
"I can't stop ! " ho cried out. "I only came
'to let you know that Indiana have burned
my houao and murdcrfeil all my family , and I
am now fleeing for my life ! They win soon
' 'be hero and you must start at once ! "
Dcvl.IiiK Menu * of K.cnpe.
\ Then he turned anil aped Into the dark
ness again. For a moment David stood as
If stunned. The awful news completely ter
rified him ; but no time was to be lost. He
glanced up the mountainside , and the clouds
away off glared with the reflection of the
burning buildings. The lad knew it would
'be simply Impossible for his father to escape
on showshoes , for his wounds had left him
o stiff in both legs that ho could scarcely
walk about the house. Yet something must
toe done at once.
' In such a time one's wUs work quickly ,
and David Spafford had wits to spare. He
-suddenly remembered that he had a pair of
howshoea exactly like those worn by the
nan who had given the alarm. So ho
dressed rapidly and put on the snowshoes
nd ran back and forth between the house
and the barn several times , making half a
dozen tracks In the enow. Then ho took
the horses and cows out of the barn and laid
. the whip on them so vigorously that they
< ran out toward the road as fast as they
. .could go. By this time Mr. Spafford had
managed to dress himself.
K "Good I" ho i W to hte son. "Now , do you
think you can carry mo to the barn ? "
"I'll try , " Davd { replied , and taking his
' 'father on bis back like a sack of flour , he
luccoeded in getting htm into the barn and
burled In the hay mow.
"It's growing colder , " said Mr. Spafford ,
"and if the crust keeps hardening on the
'snow wo have one chance of escape. Haul
the bobsled across the barn floor until II
'i ' just In front of that door in the rear ,
" 'Cti bring our guns liero and hide your-
n If In the hay beside mo. It's a slim chance
tint ] a big risk , but It Is the only one , It we
want to save our scalps ! "
"I see your idea ! " the boy cried , and ho
did as he was told. Father and son had
lain ( here , burled In the hay , scarcely hall
an , hour when , through a chink In the barn ,
tboy saw seven Indian warriors surrounding -
ing the house. The savages staggered and
' -sqino of them fairly reeled , for they had
sn allowed eo much rum as to be quite
drunk. Several bad bloody scalps dangling
" from their belts.
"I had -scarcely hoped for U. " Mr. Spafford
whispered , "but they are so drunk thej
can hardly follow the trail of the snowshoes -
shoes , and maybe wo will outwit them aftei
all. "
v Oruy of the SRVIIKCB.
After staggering around the bouse some
of the Indians went Inside , while others
came toward 'the barn ; but after glanclne
at the empty stalls they rejoined their fellows -
lows , who set up a loud shouting. Prett )
eon two or three of them rolled out of thi
house a cask of New England rum , ant
knocked the head in and commenced t <
drink heavily. Then some more pulled tw <
or tbreo feather 'beds out Into the moon'
light , and ripping them open' with theli
knly % > commenced ( o throw the feather :
tip into the tlr * dancing- and singing , am
lowly , but soon gathered momentum , for
back of the barn was a steep valley running
down for five miles to the frozen river ; and
in all that sweep there was not a tree , era
a stump sticking up above the snow , for
all had been burned off in a great forest fire
years previous. Within half a minute the
sleigh seemed to leap forward like a deer ,
and then it shot down the mountainside with
the speed of an express train. The noise
made by the whirring runners on the hard
ened snow aroused some of the Indians , and
hastening through the barn they saw the
escape. Two of the savages fired their
muskote at David , who was standing up in
the sleigh and steering U , but they were so'
drunk that their bullets , went wide of the
mark. A third seized a long board and
with a fiendish yell threw himself on it
headlong , as a boy nowadays will throw
himself on a. sled. This huge , painted ,
shrieking savage came sliding down the hill
side at amazing speed , but he could not
, catch up with the heavier sleigh. Still he
was so near that Mr. Spafford dared to take
no chances ; and resting his musket on the
seat of the sled , he aimed it and pulled the
'trigger. There was a puff of smoke , a loud
report , and a horrible yell , and the Indian
seemed to leap oft his board into the air ,
half turning as he did eo ; and when he
struck the snow again , rolling over and
over until ho came to a full stop , and lay
there dead , his dark body outstretched on
the whlto crust.
"Did you hit him , father ? " asked David.
He spoke with difficulty , for hei was con
tinually exerting his full strength in guid
ing the bounding sleigh and could not afford
to look back for an instant.
"Yes , and he's done for , my son. "
Then both were silent. On and on eped
the sleigh down the mountainside , and to
David the snow bad a curious appearance.
It seemed as if he were sitting still while
the great white mass rushed by htm up-
hll ) . But the cold , cutting wind In his
face was so strong as to dispel this illusion.
It almost took away his breath. One mile ,
two miles , three , four , five , they went , until
the river was reached ; and then came the
most dangerous place of all , for the sleigh
leaped off the bank and fell a yard below
to the Ice. But it landed right side up , and
by good luck there was a clear space of ice
straight across where the wind had swept a
broad path in the snow. In far less time
than it takes to tell of It the sleigh had
skimmed over to the opposite bank , and
there Its occupants met a party of
farmer soldiers and lumbermen , who had
heard of the raid from the messenger on
snowshocs , and had started to rescue them.
But David and his father had rescued
themselves , so they borrowed a horse to take
their sleigh forward to the town , where Mrs.
Spafford and her little girls were staying ,
and the company of rangers hastened on
In pursuit of the Indians.

big prizes of a season , still there is a
flock of ellglbles , ranging in age from 20
to 60 years , and in fortunes from $250,000
to $10,000,000 , sufficient in.number to give
every debutante an excellent fighting chance.
Among the ellglbles mentioned -above
there can t > e counted not less than one
dozen young follows just graduated from
the big colleges ; and the most promising
feature about this condition Is , that this
generation of beaux shows a marked In
clination for matrimony. Hardly was Cor
nelius Vanderbllt , jr. , out of college than
be found his mate ; young Llvermcre but B
year graduated from , Yale promptly took to
himself a wife- last month and , moreover ,
a preference la shown for selecting brides
n their native city and among their pretty
emlnlne contemporaries.
In the mind of the thoughtful chaperone ,
the society men who deserve the title ol
> artls are easily classified. They come undei
hree heads , those who are admired essen-
lally for wit , grace and good looks ; next ,
bachelors and widowers who are getting
along , have weathered many seasons ol
ovely girls whose fortunes are as big as
.heir hearts , and who are always wortb
loping and trying for. Add to these the
Croesuses under 28 and you b'ave the mar
ket just as it looks to any belle.
Of course there are bright particular stars
shining out in each of these three grades
and among the special parties of the winter
are the fresh-faced Vanderbullt boys. They
are the sons of the brothers , Cornelius and
William K. , and are just out of college ,
Alfred , Cornelius , sr.'s son , is a fine fellow
recently turned into his twenties. He made
his debut under his mother's wing at New
port last summer. He is undeniably hi !
Father's hope and favorite , while he please :
his mother by taking to society as a ducl <
does to water. Like all the Vonderbllts he
Is perfectly generous , with an excellent
head for business , and there Is not a shadow
of a doubt in any chaperono's mind thai
before Easter this $10,000,000 prize will have
selected his wife. It is the habit of the
men of his family to marry young and wlti
perfect Independence of the usual considera
tions in smart society , so in a measure Al
fred Is regarded as the successor in the po
sition his uncle George held for so long.
Vnnderbllt Heir * .
William Vanderbllt's boy will not have ec
large a fortune a * his cousin , for Alfred i :
Apt , beside his $10,000,000 , to Inherit , as his
father did , the bulk of the great estate.
Still , young Willie has enough of nn In.
herltanco to put him second on the list of
young millionaire hopes nnd ho Is classed
among Ihe handsome men in society , Us
has a well modeled head covered with crisp ,
curling brown hair , is athletic and terjr
much fonder of his outdoor sports than ball
rooms and opera bees. Perhaps In the eyes
of the llttlo debutante ho is none the less
admired for his shyness and for the fact that
his heart Is said to be very obstinately fixed
on a pretty maid In Baltimore , whom hemet
met at n college commencement and who Is
still too young to be out. The gossips don't
hesitate to say that when she Is old enough
he will go a-courtlng the sweetheart of hla
undergraduate days.
Perhaps of the young set , among these
whoso names rank next In the dowager's
list Is Louis Lorlllard , jr. , a graduate of
Yale , heir to the famous villa Vlnland at
Newport , that was built by his cousin , Miss
Catherine Wolf , and of a fortune from his
father of a million. Great as Is the in
fluence of wealth and social position young
Lorlllard would bo sure to flutter the
hearts in debutante-dom because of his de
cidedly romantic beauty. Hunting nnd
books are rather more absorbing interests
to this eligible than frivolity , and It Is well
known that whoever his wife Is , she will
enjoy the wearing of some of the most gor
geous of the Wolf jewels.
More of a distinct favorite than any of
the dancing girls is Reggie Urooks , par ex
cellence the smart society youth. Without
boasting tremendous Intellectual force or
overpowering good looks , what ho says and
does is carefully repeated everywhere , and
the mothers regard hltn as the brightest
fish in matrimonial waters. Ho 'Is ' simply
a capable , wholesome , kindly youngster ,
whoso dot , so to speak , Is a round million.
Ho leads the younger , generation at the
Knickerbocker club , is admittedly the best
dressed man in New York and is frankly
fond of dancing and fleeting flirtations.
Somewhat older than these products of
Yale and Harvard training , are a couple ot
Interesting and good looking men who belong -
long to very rich Catholic families. They
are Nathaniel Reynal and Tom Kelly. The
first is a mighty cross-country rider , with
a cool million In his pocket nnd the second
Is a slender fellow with beautiful Irish blue
eyes , a couple of million as his fortune and
a marked devotion to music. Ho lives in
luxurious bachelor quarters , and hires
Melb'a , Edouard do Reszko and Theresa
to sing or play at his sumptuous muslcales ,
given under his sister's or his mother's
chaperonage.
Sonic of the DlneliloodH.
Quito equal in wealth to any of these Is
Marshall Kernochan , related on all sides to
the bluest blood in New York City , the only
heir to his mother's and his aunt's millions ,
and a clever pianist. The dowagers all
look on him graciously , for he Is exceedingly
social in his taste , as are the blonde and
athletic young Burdens , I. Townsend , jr. ,
and William , who will be able to support
wives on their respective $50,000 each year.
Whllo to swell the list of eligible beaux
must be added the only son of Chauncey
Depew. Chauncey , jr. , has fallen heir to all
his father's gifts and graces , and ultimately
will come not only Into the paternal for
tune , but as well that of his mother , who
died some years ago , leaving her marriage
portion almost intact to her only child. Add
to this reckoning William C. Whitney's
second son , Payne , who has como into

There were some ladles at the far end of the

Pains in ( he back are something dreadful You feel like
you can't stand them any longer. It seems as though something -
thing would break and you would go down on the floor in a
heap. No use treating the back alone. The trouble isn't there.
It is in the delicate and Intricate womanly organism. The pains
in the back are symptoms of weakness In those organs. The
pains mean that nature Is crying out for help. The help which
is needed is Wine of Cardui. It corrects and cures all "female
troubles" . It soothes Inflammation , stops the "whites" , restores
the womb to its proper position when displaced , cures headache
