"[0313 UNDEIK‘VOOD.
BY A. ‘J. VOLCK.
in the Spring of 1866 I It fl. San Francisco
for the Columbia River, intending to pass
tlte summer in sketching the picturest'lu.e
scenery along its banks. After ascending
the river as far as Portland, I was Induced,
by theiol‘oltnatioo there obtained, to relunll;
to a point below tlte Casctdcs, to seaminot
a saw-mill and village belonging to the Or-
egon Lumber Company, Situated in the
most be '.utit'ni llul‘f. of the Valley. I was
titlvler oy Captain illunt, the master of the
boat on which l had taken passage, to_ in-
quire. at. the Village for the whereabouts of
Mose Underwood, a renowned hunter of
those parts, who might be induced, for a
consideration, to guide me to such places as
I wished to visit, and whose cabin, at some
distance in the wilderness, would. if I did
not mind roughin it, furnish-.a convenient
stopping-place. ' u answer to my inquiries
as to the character of the man, the captain
described ltint as a. thoroughly reliable and
truthful, hard-working and sober. ‘ He has,”
lte said,‘ been saving up money for many

and once having made a

that I was often at my wtt’s end how to ans:

ng ottt of llllll the rela-
tion: of tnany thrilling adventures of his
.huuter’s life, while ever and anon he made-
the. mind of a brigh
gry for knowledge,
. remarks which disclosed a startling abyss of
ignorance. ' .
One evening, as we were sitting under a.
- 'big cedar near 'lhei'ca'bin smoking our pipes,
I asked him whether he could lead.
"Read 3" said he, “read! I don’t hardly
know whether I can read. I know 1 liain’t

Ike, and I worked my way up here, for it

ter lite war rubbed out,he being one of their
tribe by adoption. And so, you see, I never
got tiofititne to see whether I could read

ed to teach me, too."
There was a long silence after this, then
him in the Portland'bank, and lie has amass-
ed quite a respcclttble sum. 1 don’t know
what particular object he has in view. but
he hints that; he has a special use for all he
can'make. Mose hasn’t tnuch talk,” cop-
‘tinu‘ed‘tb‘e captain, “and never opens 'lllS
mouth to speak when he can exDrt'SRV “15
meaning by signs or motions; but he was,
true as steel and as bold as a grizzly.”
I reached the saw mills late at nighl,bun-V
died my traps ashore, and wa's'recelved by
a. crowd of about the roughest. men I had
ever encountered. Theyproved, however,
more hospitable than they looked,and made.
rootn for me by a huge fire under a. sort of
shed, where I fell asleep as soon as the tor-
rent of profanity whichformed the burden
of their conversation had begun to subside.
0n the following morning I learned that by
a lucky chance Underwood was expected at
themills withvskins and venison that very
day, attd accordingly while I was 'at dinner
withdhe officers of the company, who had
made me heartily welcome as soon as my"
arrival became known to them, he stepped
quietly into the room. llis appearance was
striking. Straight its a- pine. hc towered in
height above all the conrpanv, though there
were tall men amongst us. He had deep-set
eyes, dark-brown hair and beard, close clip-
ped and curly, and a countenance and hear-
ing expressive of'conscious strength and in-
dependence. Hc was dressed partly in
homespun stuff and partly in deerskin, and
carried. his long heavy rifle with an ease and
grace which showed that it was his inscper
able companion. VV .-
I made my application to him, mentioning
incidentally, Captain Bluut's name. He}
looked at me for some time in silence, and
then put me through a. course of questions.

occupation of “making pictures" he seemed V
to think rather a Contemptible one for :a“

favor. . i. -' ~ ~ . ’
"Well, durnV ye i” he said atlast, “come

seen no white man for ever so long." -
The arrangement was speedily concluded.
Mose packed my traps and such odds and
ends as he had bought at the store on his
mare, and we left the station about two
o'Vclock in the afternoon. The tramp was a
long and fatiguing one, through bushes and
swamps, over rugged stony hills, and along
precipices, where in the evening. had it not
been for the advantage of a full moon, I
should have found the footing vely insecure
and perilous. . ' ’
As for Mose, he stalked along in front of
me with his gigantic stride, unconscious
alike ofdangcr and fatigue, and never open-
ed his lips tillec arrived, about midnight,
in the neighborhood of the cabin. Then,
as alight became visible through the chinks,
he muttered, “The little cub! he’s got sup-
per ready. He's a boss, he is. durn him l”
A limb of dogs received as with deafen-
ing"ho_wls. The door of the cabin was
pushed open, and a boy some nine years of
age stepped out into the moonlightr He
gave-a shrill whoop, which was answered
by a roar from Mose; no other greeting was
exchanged between them.
“And‘this is ‘Jack,’ " I thought. “What
a singular comparison for such a giant as
Mose l" .
I bade him greed-evening, and shook him
by-the'haud. He looked pleased, but with-
out making any reply to my greeting led
me into the house, pointed to a rough bench
bythe fire. and busied himself in placing
vVenisoVntbetore me. Having brought a basin
offhrown- sugar covered with myriad: of

Jack was ready with breakfast when I
came from-my bath in the brook. Mose had
already left for the woods..V While eating I
plied the boy with questions, and by the
time I had finished my mealI had found
out that Mose was Jack’s “dad.” and that
Jack had never been away from the cabin
except on short independent expeditions
ter squirrels or fish; He told me he had
ever had any mother,aud he did not know
whose “them duds were in the back room;
the old, man didn’t like his going in thar.”
He could not read, and knewlnothing about

v’fit as ‘I1'eirmyself-to be a teacher of religi-
ous mailers; could not for very shame, ab-
stainjfx’oin making an effort toVawaken his
mind to some comprehension of God and
His attributes. I‘began that very evening
.Véto tell him- stories from the Bible; starting

“-allattention. Hetsat quite s'till.fwith,oycs
'audrmouth wide open. Evidently-he felt
‘thé'trtithjof all that I_ told him.‘ Itgiserob-g
:ablc, indeed, that he was entirely ignorant
of such aithingas falsehood, having lived
alone with Mose, who had neither motive
’uor disposition to lie. _ I spoke to him‘al-o '
of. my children at home, and told him that
they never dared to retire torest until they
had asked God’s rotection. This seemed
tomake a strong impression on him, and a
day or two afterward, when we had had
mote talks of the same ‘kind, he‘told me he
“was kind of skeered about God,” and
“wouldn’tI tell him what to say. for to keep
Him from a-hurting him ofa night I” I
bade him kneel down at my side and re-
peat after tnc, which he did in a low voice,
the child’s good old prayer:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soulto keep;
And it I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
I had to repeat it several times before ltc
had it by heart, but when he found that he
could say it perfectly without help,»his de-
light was very great.
After this i. often read him simple hymns
front the prayer-book, and his memory once-
roused it was astonishing to see how quick
ly he learned them by heart. When, how-
ever, [related to him the death (”it Christ,
and attempted to explain the atonement, he
was more puzzled than editied. “Why," he
said, “dad wouldn’t let no one hurt me.
Why didn’t God keep them Jews from kill-
itg His Son ?" -
Mose had all these things at second hand,
for I heard long Conversations between-him
Jack telling his father thestorles I had _.re-_V
lated to him, and Mose grunting a running
accompaniment expressive of his wonder,
not unmixed with an occasional oath. His
astonishment thefirst time he saw Jack
kneeling to say his prayers was so ludicrous
that I had to repress an inclination to laugh.
Yet he seemed impressed,- and was more
than usually silent afterward; perhaps the
sight had touched some long-silent chord in
his memory.
One evening, Jack having retired much
fatigucdafler along and successful foray
after trout, I asked Mose, point-blank,
whOse the things were which I had found in
the backroom. ,
I was afraid I had given offence by- this
question, it was so long before I'got an
answer; at length he spoke, somewhat as
folllows : “Site wcr Jack’s mother; Mary

This simple story,
told by the rude man:
in his own rudo way, affected me g
almost read y,"
to school, for I hav
really-
Poor. poor-girl! Who was she? where did
she come from ? These are questtons never
to be solved until the last day. From what
I could gather afterward, Ijudged that she
must have been a woman of education and .
refinement, whose heart broke wrth the
shame and grief that ‘ a hard fate had
.brought upon her. It seemed that she had
destroyed everything by which her parent-
age could be traced. Mose showed mea
small fragment of her writing, which ap-
peared to refer to some tnstructtons .abont
the future training of her child,nsrf-tn a
weaker moment her mother's instinct had
overcome her caution. But she had torn
the paper, and only a fragment had been
found and kept bv Mose. The paper was
eoarle, and the ink and pen evident y home-
made, but the writing was in a free, lady-
like hand, the spelling correct, and lhc
words such as people of good breeding
would choose. . -, . -
However, what I heard made made the
feel easier about Jack's future and quteted
many qualms I ltad felt about my own ina-
bililvto direct the vigorous young mind I
bad'stirred to consciousness, not Without
many doubts as to what would become
of it all after my departure. Jack was
now helping his father in the garden and
cortt patch, the hunting season betng over,
and I obstrvcd that the two had lunch to
say to each otttcr lit the pauses ot the work
—a thing which of itself proved the great
revolution that was going on in their tl‘tmdit
One evening about the" middle of July.
while at work at a picture about half a mile
from the clearing, I was startled bythc loud
buying of the dogs at the cabin. ’l he noxse
continued for some time, and was So .pecnlg
iar that after listening ' for a- few Val-mules I
pigkedup my ride, and leaving my sketch:
mg things where they were. run toward the
house. Jack had been with me tinting the
day, and had left me a short time before to
prepare supper for his father, who had gone
to the mills the day'before’, and was expect-
ed home this evening.
When I came nearer the cabin I became
aware, from the yells of ain intertmngled
with the fierce barking. tall a fight. was go V
ing on between the dogs and some other an-
imal; but when I arrived at the clearingvnfl
sight met me which made theblood curdle
in my veins. . _
Close to me lay the carcasses ofa pig and
a beat-’3 cub, two dogs lay nearer the house,
and right in front of the door was a large
she-bear, hung to by the remaining two
hounds, while right between her-paws lay
our Jack, quite still, his pale face streaked
with blood. It seems to me now as if I had
taken in the whole situation in a moment of
time, I tried to take aim at the beast, but
for some time could not hold my rifle stead-
ily. Itinally rested it on the fence rail and
tired at her head, but. though I ‘was' within
resthssness of the bear diverted my aim.
She fell as ifdcad right over Jack,but-gath_e
cred herself up again in a moment and
limped to the bushes, dragging the dogs
with her, and leaving a bloody trail behind
her. I ran to where Jack lay. The poor
little fellow smiled when he saw me, andI
hoped he was not badly hurt, but when '1
wiped: off some of the blood and dirt with
which he‘wa‘s covered, 1 found that the bear
had completely ripped him open, breaking-
nearly all his ribs with a blow of her pow-
erful 'pav‘v. He seemed paralyzed in" his
lower limbs, and barely able to move his
arms. .
I lifted him carefully and laid- him on
my bed, washed his ghastly wounds, and
covered 'them with ‘lincn torn . from. rug
shirts. It‘was all I could do for. him, for
saw at a glance that ltis hours were num-
bered. He asked for water,and drank eager-
ly, and then he told me thachcj had come
upon the bear in the clearing, wheresbe
was fighting the dogs, who had killed her
cub. She had been after pork, as the car-
cass of the pig testified. As he had already
been seen by the bear,and there was no tree
near that he could climb, he had run for the
house, "but the bear had shaken oll‘ the dogs
and ltad'caught hitn just in front of the
door. This wasmll he could remember.
Mose, who had read the whole story'in the
signs outside,'camc to‘tha bed with a step '
so light that Iwas not aware of 'his pres-
ence until I heard his convulsive groan he-
hind me. He pushed me gently but firmly
aside, as if to assert his right to the'poqition
I was occupying at his child’s bedside, and
kneeling down laid his head on the ‘pillow
by the side of Jack’s. Jack bent a loving
look on him, and languidly lifting his head
laid it on the rough face that touched bin,
for the first time in-ltillife. . " ‘
What seemed to me an ltonr passed thus“,
without a’word being spoken. At last Jock
made an effort to speak. Standing at the
head of the bed, I bent down to catch his
words. “I want to kneel down," he said in
a tretnulous voice, hardly 1 ble to articulate
—'“It’s getting awful dark—I want to say— F
my prayers.” I told him to lie quiet and
let the hold his hand, as I had been in the.
habit of, doing, and it would'do quite ‘as
well. I took his hand in-both mine and felt
faltering voice, but with a. sweet smile‘on
his,face— " a. ” "
“Now I lay me-'—down to—asle‘ep,
I pray—the *Lord-my-‘soul~to—"
“Keep," I said, the tears streaming from my
eyes. But there was no response. Little
Jack’s soul was already in keeping of his
Maker. ~ '
It was sometime before Mose was'able to
realize that his child Was gone fromhim for-
ever; but when lte did, his grief was dregd-
ful. Throwing up his great arms. he stag-
ered about the room 1i e one in a frenzy.
e seemed’unable to give utterance to his
anguish, and his‘eyes were as dry as ever.
At last he‘inched up Jack’s littléjbtldy,.und
sat-holdinv it in his arms the livclongnight,
.norcoul'd - perceive the slightest motion in
him during that ‘long‘dreary watch. ,thn
morning came I spoke to. him. .He answer-
ed mergeutly, and let me take the body ham
his arms andlay it back again on the bed.
I sat down byfhim. and said that however
hard this was. on us, it was best for our
Jack: that, be being such a. good little fel-
low, God had t‘nken him away rto'shield him,
there could be no doubt of his being 'much
happier now than he had ever: been. I. By:
such talk I succeeded at last in reusing him
frotn his stupor. ' V‘ " .
I made him come with me to point out
the place wherehe wished to-have‘tlie child-
buried. ' He seemed hard to please about
,the spot, but finally selected the hillock
under the cedar which had been our favorite,
sent'of evenings, and where, I no'w'heard
for the first time, Jack’s mother had been
buried. ThereI dug Jack’s grave, while
Mose walked about restlessly, often going
anon’looking for-the tracks of the bear. 1
made the best .coflin Icould of some old
boards I found about the premises.
- At evening everything was ready to lay
the child in his last resting-place. We
washed him and laid him in his coffin. I
arranged such wild-flowers and green twigs
about himas‘ I could find in the neighbor-
hood, and’Mos'e brought his bow and arrows
in order that they might be buried with
the coffin. Mose carried it to the rave and
deposited it there; then he knelt own, his
head bent to the ground, and asked me to
earl some of“them rhymes"rJackV had so
oved to hear. ' Having brought_.'Mnry’s
prayer-hook with me, I read such parts of
the burial service as I thought best adapted
to his comprehension. When the grave
was filled a ”Mose lay downuponit, and
finding I con (i not persuade him to leave, I
went to the cabin to take the'rest I felt so
muchin need of. ,
When I woke in the morninglfound
the remaining dogs, and moreover foundhis
track on the yet visible trail of the hear, I
had no difllculty in guessing on What errand
he was bound. ' I occupied myself in putting
the place in order: I dragged-the carcasses
fir into the woods, out of the reach of our
senses, smoothed and sodded Jack’s grave,
and cut a slab out of the cedar to inscribe
ltts name on the tree. While at work I lis-
tened all day for the crack . of Mosc's rifle,
but all was still. He returned late, ate rav-
enonsly of the food I had prepared for him,
and when I spoke to him turned from me
without a word and went to bed.
He was “P ”55ch daylightfeo'okcd some
bacon and ate it, fed‘the dogs and ‘ started
for the woods. Day after day he went 0n
the same errand. He never brought uny-
thtng home from the woods, and I knew he
had never discharged his rifle at any living
thing since Jack‘s death. After some time
1 clinic to understand that he had some idea
that Jack could not rest quietly in his grave
nnttl the hear was killed. 'But somehow
he had never been able to come up with her.
This went on for more than three weeks.
My own situation was becoming verv un-
comfortable. and lI made up my mind to
leave as soon as the picture I had in hand
was lintshed, when one evening, as I was
washing my_brushe§, thought“ I‘he'ard a

On Saturday week, William H.'Wester-
velt, convicfed ofronplicity in the conceal-
ment of Charlie Ross, was sentenced to a:
fine of one dollar, and seven.,years’ imprngV
onmont at hard labor. AVlch'ougbthe' testi-
monyin the trial showed that Wentervelt
probably‘knew- at one time about the buy it‘
ispretty evident that ho does. out now. If
buttons he could easily save. himself, as ad-
vantageous offers have been made 'to induce '
him‘ to tell. V Only recently a' rich man, a:
Western merchant and». man of influence.
in public affairs, asked-.rto seo- Westervelt in
hiscell. Heiutroduced himself and said,
-“lf you will tell Mr. Rose or any person on
choose to name whereVor how Charlie cats
can be found I will not only pledge you'in'y
word that you shallhay'e a free pardon, but
to‘tt‘ikeiyou n’way’ from lib‘rejhnd make you
comfortable.” Although ignorant of his
whereabbut of the child; Westervelt has
made a very Sensible suggestion, to the effect
that a thorough search be made in all-Cath-
olic orphan asylums sand.- schools, as he
thinks the childmight have been. placed
there, and, owing to the seclusion- _ofV those
institutions, no one be aware of the fact.
