The Peril of the Plains (1911)
When Mrs. Walker, the settler's wife, prepared for the week's baking, she found the supply of flour exhausted and sent Nancy and Bob, her two children, to borrow from a neighboring cabin. Scarcely had the children passed into the woods than a band of redskins, brandishing their guns, swept down upon them, leading them away captives. Meanwhile another band of savages crept stealthily upon the Walker cabin, setting it on fire. Taking advantage of the smoke which filled the atmosphere, the settler and his wife hurried out of the back door, only to be followed by the Indians. Reaching a stream of water, Walker and his wife hid under the surface, breathing through reeds until the pursuing savages lost their trail. Nancy and Bob, captives in an Indian wigwam, discovered a huge circular wicker basket. Pushing the basket to the door which faced upon a steep hill, they crept inside and started the basket bumping and tossing over the rocks. Reaching a safe place beyond the camp, they crawled from the basket and hid in an old tree. The Walkers having reached the stockade, told the men of the missing children and two brave volunteers started in search of them. As they passed the old tree, the children hailed them and were borne safely to the stockade where, after a sharp fight, the Indians were dispersed and the Walker family happily reunited.
