They have hesitated a mo\ment, as you can see by their footmarks. and then they have followed on.” “If we go round again and quicken our pace we may overtake them.” “N-o; they are on their guard now. Lie here behind the fallen log, and we shall see if we can catch a glimpse of them.” A great rotten trunk, all green with mold and blotched with pink and pur- ple fungi. lay to one side of where they stood. Behind this the Frenchman crouched. and his three companions followed his example, peering through the brushwood screen in front of them. Ten minutes passed, and there was no sign of any living thing behind them. “They cannot see us. But they are suspicions.” “Shall we rush for the brushwood “They would pick two of us off and be gone like shadows through the woods. No; we had best go on our way.” “But they will follow us.” “I hardly think that they will. We are four and they are only two, and they know now that we are on our guard. W'e must push on fast now, for where there are two Iroquois there are likely to be 200 not very far ofi. Ah, here is the Ajidaumo creek, where the Indians set the sturgeon nets. It is still seven miles to Poitou.” 9” “They are over in yonder thicket,” whispered Du Lhut. "Have you seen them?” (SN‘).99 “How do you know, then?” “I saw a squirrel come from his hole in the great white birch tree yon- der. IIe scuttled back again as if something had scared him. From his hole he can see down into that brush- wood.” ”“Do you think tfiat they know that we aro have?” ““‘e shall then ?” He flitted from tree to tree on a line which was parallel to but a few yards distant from that of their comrades. Then suddenly he crouched behind a bush and pulled De Catinat down he- side him. “They must pass us in a few min- utes.” he whispered. “Do not fire if you can help it.” Something gleamed in Du Lhut’s hand, and his comrade. glancing down, saw that he had drawn I- -‘A. â€"â€"~__ . _ a keen little tomahawk from his belt. Suddenly he saw something move. It flitted like a shadow from one trunk to the other. so swiftly that De Catinat could not have told whether it were beast or human. And then again he saw it, and yet again, sometimes one shadow, sometimes two shadows. Then for a few moments all was still once more, and then in an instant there crept out from among the bushes the most terrible looking creature that ever walked the earth--an Iroquois chief upon the war trail. He was a tall, powerful man, and his bristle of scalp locks and eagle feathers made him look like a giant in the dim light, for a good eight feet lay between his beaded moccasin and the topmost plume of his headgear. One side of his face was painted in soot. ocher and vermilion to resemble a dog and the other half as a fowl. His gun was thrown forward. and he crept along with bended knees, peering, lis- tening, pausing, hurrying on, a breath- ing image of caution. Two paces be- hind him walked a lad of fourteen, clad and armed in the same fashion, but without the painted face. They were just abreast of the bush 1 when something caught the eyepf the younger warrior. some displaced twig or fluttering leaf, and he paused, with suspicion In every feature. Another instant and he had warned his com- panion, but Du Lhut sprang out and buried his hatchet in the skull of the older warrior. De Catinat heard a dull crash, as when an ax splinters ltsway into a rotten tree, and' the man fell ,like a log, kickingand strikingwlth hlamwerful. 11mm. ..The.:v'onmorm:- .2."3§.-‘33 ' ." “ll-fl“- ~' COPYRlGE'l'. 1893.

But an instant later there was a gun. shot among the trees in front, followed by a faint wailing cry. HARPER a: BROTHERS of Sherlock fiolmes” "‘That is his death, Whoop,” said Du Lhut composedly. As he spoke the two others came back, Ephraim ramming a fresh charge into his musket. “Ah, he’s gone,” said Du Lhnt. As he spoke the Indian gave a last spasm with his hands and feet and lay rigid. “He’s a great chief,” said Du Lhut. “It is Brown Moose of the Mohawks, and the other is his second son. We have drawn first blood, but I do not think that it Will be the last, for the Iroquois, do not allow their war chiefs to die unavenged. He was a mighty tighter.” They turned away, leaving the red figure stretched under the silent trees. As they passed on they caught a glimpse of the lad lying doubled up among the bushes Where he had fallen. The pioneer walked very swiftly until he came to a little she-am Which prat- tied down to the big fiver. Here he slipped off his shoes and leggings and waded dOWn it With his companions for half a mile or so. “They will follow our tracks when they find him,” said he, “but this will throw them off. for it is only on run- ning water that an Iroquois can find no trace. And now we shall lie in this clump until nightfall, for we are little over a mile from Fort Poitou, and it is dangerous to go forward. for the ground becomes more open.” And so they remained concealed 1 among the alders while the shadows‘ turned from short to long. and the ‘ white drifting clouds above them were tinged with the pink of the setting sun. Du Lhut coiled himself into a hall. with his pipe between his teeth, and dropped into a light sleep, pricking up his ears and starting at the slightest sound. The two Americans Whispered together for a long time, but at last the soothing hum of a gentle breeze through the branches lulled them~off also. De Cati- nat alone remained awake, his nerrei in a tingle from a strange, sudden shadow which had fallen upon his soul So clear it was and so vivid that it was with a start that he came suddenly to himself and found that the night was creeping on in the forest and that D1: Lhut had roused himself and was read} for a start. “Have you been awake?” asked the pioneer. Have you heard anything?” “Nothing but the hooting of the owl.’ “It seemed to me in my sleep that l ; heard a gunshot in the distance.” i “In your sleep?” “Yes. I hear as well asleep as awake and remember what I hear. But no“ you must follow me close, and we shal‘ be in the fort soon.” “Peste! You are a woodman indeed? “I believe that these woods are swarming with Iroquois. although we have had the good fortune to miss them.

' “I had rather stay there forever than expose my wife to such devils.” “Aye, devils they are it ever devils walked upon earth.

'tb‘see them stand so still, that there was not an Indign nearer than Orange.” Du Lhut advanced from the bushes as he spoke. and the four men crossed the open ground in the direction of the line of men who waited silently for them in the dim twilight. They were within fifty paces. and yet none of them had raised hand or voice to chal- lenge their approach. There was some- thing uncanny in the silence. and a change came over Du Lhut’s face as he peered in front of him. “My God!" he screamed. “Look at the fort!" .

Mr. McClary has always been, and is Still the guiding head of this tre- mendous business. He remains even at his present age a man of remark- able ability sparing no money or pains to attain an end that his judge- ment told him could be won.
