ERSKINE DALE by JOHN FOX.7r ©101 1720 ty Continued From Our Last Issue The braves then went to their fire- water, and soon the boy's foster- motheér brought him something to eat, but she could say nothing, for Bluck Woll had appointed himsel( sentinel and sat rifle in hand at the door of the lodge, NIght eame on. The drinking be. came more furious and once Trskine saw a pale-brown arm thrust from hehind the Jodge and place a jug at the fect of Black Wolf, who. grunted and drank deep. One by one the braves went to drunken sleep about the fire, The tire died down and by the last filekering flame the lad saw Hlack Wolf's chin sinking sleepily to his chest, There was the slightest hind the tent, He felt groping for his hands and the point of a knife graze the skin of his wrist and ankles—felt the thongs loosen and drop apart. Noiselessly, inch hy inch, he crept to the wall of the tent, which was carefully lifted for him. Outside he rose and waited. Like a shadow the girl Early Morn stole before him and like a shadow he followed. The logke snow muffled his escape from the lodge, and in a few minutes they were by the river- bank, away from the town. The moon rose and from the sha- dow of a bheech the white woman stepped forth with his rifie and pow- der-horn and bullet-pouch and some food. She pointed to his horse a little farther down. He looked long and silently into the Indian girl's eyes and took the white woman's shaking hand. Once he looked back. The Indian girl was stoic as sfone, A bar of moonlight showed the white woman's face wet with tears. rustie be- something feet, felt oo Again Dave Yandell from a watch tower saw a topknot rise above a patch of cane now . leafless and win- ter-bitten—saw a hand lifted high above it with a palm of peace toward him. And again an Indjan youth emeérged, this time leading a black horse with a drooping head. Both came pain- fully -on, staggering, it seéemed, from wounds or weakness, and Dave gprang from the tower and rushed with oth- ers fo the gate. RSo gaunt were boy and beast that it was plain that both were starving., The boy's face was torn with briers and pinched with hunger and cold, but a faint smile VICTIMS OF INFLUENZA Those Who Are Weak and Run Down Easy Prey to Wide-Spread Epidemic Doctors agree that people who are weak and run-down are the earllest victims of the influenza epidemic, whose ravages are assuming serious proportions in New England and New York. If you begin taking Father Medicine at once you build strength to fight off the grip. The commonsense preventive is to begin taking Father John's Medicine at once because the pure food cie- ments of which this old-fashioned, wholesome body-builder is made are easily taken up by the system and turned into vital, resisting energy; giving you fighting strength to ward off the influenza germ.

Then George Rogers ("lark had passed the fort on his way to Williamsburg to get money and men for his great venture in the Northwest. After Clark was gone the lad gol restless; and | one morning when the firat breath | of spring came he mounted his horse, in spite of arguments and protesta- tions, anid set forth for Virginia on the wilderness trial. He was going to| join Clark, he said but more tha Clark and the war were drawing him to the outer world. What it was he hardly knew, for he was not yet much given to searching his heart or mind. \He did | know, however, that some strange force had long been working within him that was gteadily growing strong- er. With his mind's eye he was ever seeing at the end of his journey the face of his little cousin Barbara Dale. : * A striking figure the lad made riding into the old capital one aft- ernoon just before the sun sank be- hind the western woods. The governor's palace was closed | and deserted. My Lord Dunmore was long in flight. But there was the bust of Sir’ Walter in front of Ra- leigh Tavern, and there he drew up, before the steps where he was once nigh to taking Dane Grey's life. The little tavern was thronged and the air charged with the spirit of war. Indeed, nothing else was talked. Next morning Erskine rode forth along a sandy road, amidst the sing- ing of birds and through a forest of tinye upshooting leaves, for Red Oaks on the James. He foresworn Colonel Dale to gecrecy as to the note me had left be- hind giving his birthright to his little cousin Barbara, and he knew the con- fidence would be kept inviolate. At the bhoat landing he hitched his horse to the low-swung branch of an ouk. There was the sun-dial that had marked every sunny hour since he had been away. IFor a moment he stood there, and when he stepped | into the open he shrank back hastily | —a girl was coming through the| opening of boxwood from the honse —coming slowly, barcheaded, her hands clasped behind her, her eyes downward. Hig heart throbbed throbhed the more when his ears caught even the saft tread of her little feet, und seemed to stop when she paused at the sun-dial, and searched the river with her eyes. Soon the girl flyttered a handker- chief and from the single passenger in the stern came an answering flut- ter of white and a glad cry. At the bend of the river the hoat disap- peared from Iirskine's sight under the bank, and he watched the girl. How she had grown! Her slim fig- ure had rounded and shot upward, and her white gown had dropped to her dainty ankles. Now her face was flushed and her eyes flashed with excitement--it was no mere kinsman in that boat, and| the boy's heart began te throb fierce- | Iy with racking emotions The haa!l never known before. 1 A fiery-looking youth gprang up the landing-steps, bowed gallantly over| the girl's hand, and the two turned up the path, the girl rosy with; smiles and the youth hending over her with a most protecting and tend- | er air. It was Danc Grey, and the! heart of the watcher turned mortal slek. P he walted, as X1V Barbara saw him vot yush forward. Instead she atopped, with wile eyes, a stifled er, and a lifting of one hand toward her hearl, Grey saw too, thished rather; painfally, and calmed himself. “Why, have | changed so thuch?” Eraking cricd. ! “Of conrse 1 knew yon," she falt- ered, paling a lttle but gathering hers self rather haughtily —a fact that Er- first and she did fmorn."

I imagine you're hungry, cousin,' “T am," sald Mrskine nothing to eat since-—since early Barbara's eyes flashed up- ward and Grey was painly startled. Was there a slight stress on those two worda? Mrs. Dale was visiting down the river, s0 Barbara sat in her mother's place, “Now, you White Arrow, vou Big Chief, tell us the story," said Harry. Grey hegan to look uncomfortable, and so, in truth did Barbara, “What have you Erskine quietly, “Never mind,” Interposed auickly; “you tell us' “What!" shouted Harry, when Er- sine told of thke gowwow, “You told both that you Would fight with the whites against hoth!

The white woman got my gun, and Firefly--you know nothing can catch Firefly.” The silence was intense. Grey was painfully flushed. “And you want to now what T am going to do now?” Erskine went on, “I'm going with Captain George Ro- gers Clark-—with what command are you, Mr. Grey?" “That's a secret,” he smiled coolly “I'll let you know later,” and Bar. bara, with an inward sigh of reliel, rose quickly. “But the white woman?"” tioned Harry., “Why doesn't leave the Indiang?" “Barly Morn—a hal-bred-—is daughter,” sald Iirskine simply. “Oh!" and Harry questioned further. “parly Morn was the best-looking Indian girl 1 ever saw,” said Er- kine, “and the bravest.” For the t time Grey glanced at Barbara She saved my life,” KErskine went on gravely, “and mine is hers whenever don't know how | from hehind “I've had heard? asked Barbara the fmpatiently, breathed Bar- Morn, ques- she her no n it Barbara excused herself with a courtesy, Hugh went to the stables, Harry disappeared for a moment, and the two were left alonc.
