There came a shot, and a cloud spread among the boughs of a tall hemlock; but the fellow left his tree and slid down on tother side, like a squirrel, and my wild Saguenay was after him in a flash. I saw Saguenay seize something, heard the mad struggle, and ran for- ward with Tahioni, only to hear the yelping scalp-cry of the Montagnais, and see him both kuees on his vic- tim’s shoulders, ripping off the scalp, his arms and body spattered with blood. I saw Tahion{ chasing a strange Indian through a little hollow full of ferns; saw Godfrey Shew raise his rifle and kill the fugitive as coolty as though he were a running buck. Over this distant ridge, like shad- ows, I could see somebody's light feet running, checkered against the sunshine beyond, and I fired, judging @ man's height, if stooping. saw something dark fall and roll down into a gully full o' last year's “THE NAKED WARRIOR | CLUTCED WAS SO VILELY OILED THAT MY FINGERS SLIPPED OVER HIM AS IF IT WERE AN EEL !

We made but a dozen leaps of it and were in a wasp-nest of Mohawks ere we knew It, I heard Nick roar again with pain and fury, but had my hands too full to succor him, for a wild beast paint- ed yellow was choking me and wrest- ling me off my feet, and little Thio- hero was fighting like a demon witn knife, on the water's edge. he nakea warrior 1 clutched was so vilely oiled that my fingers slipped over him as though it were an eel I plucked at, and his foul and stink- ing breath in my face was like a full fed bear's, ‘Then, as he strangled me, out of ‘Garkening cy¢s 1 saw his arm lifted— pass into his belly as though it had been butter—pass thrice, slowly, rip- ping upwart so that he stood there, already gralloched, yet still breathing horribly and no towels in him. ¢ * *& His falling hatchet clinked among the stones.

But now in my ears rang a dis- tressing crying, like a gentle wild thing wounded to the death; and I saw two Mohawks had got the little maid of Askalege between them, and were drowning her in the Big Eddy. I ran out into the water. Tahionl, her brother, came in a flying leap from the bank above me, and all four went down under water as I reached them, They came up blinded, staggering, one by one, and I got Thiohero by the hair, where she Jay in shallow water, ague- Brother!” in hand timidly And|and dragged her ashore behind me. Then came a roar like a thrashing, deer herd splashing crossing a marshy creek, and below us 1 saw & dozen Mohawks leap into the water and thrash their way over. And not a rifle among us that was dry enough to take a toll of our enemies crossing the West river plain in sight! Lord, what a day! And not fought as I had pictured battles. No! For it was blind combat, and neither man aged as planned nor in any kind of erder or discipline. Nor did we ever, 1 have said, discover how many enemies were opposed to us, And I am certain they believed that a full regiment had struck their rear; other wise, I think it had proven a very bloody business for me and my people. Lord, Lord! What a battle! For all were filthy with blood, and there were brains and hair and guts sticking t Knives and hatchets, and bodies and limbs all smeared, Good God! Was this war? And the green flies already whirling around us in the sunshine, and settling on the faces of the dead! — The little maid of Askalege, lean- ing on her brother's shoulder, was coughing up water she had swallowed. Nick, with a bloody sconce, but no worse damage, sat upon a rock and washed out his clotted hair, “Hell! quoth he, when he behela me. “Here be I with a broken pull, and yonder goes the Indian who gave it me." it still, diet!" said 1, and set the ranger’s whistle to my. lips.

So 1 passed the gate and walked to- ward the lodge. Sir John’s blooded cattle were grazing ahead, and I saw Flora at the well, and Colas busy aynone beds of garden flowers, spai- ing and weeding under the souti pereh And T saw something else that halt- ed me, For, seated upon a low limb of an apple tree, her two little feet hanging down, and garbed in pink- flowered chintz and snowy fichu, I be- held Penelope Grant, a-knittin: And by the pagan gods!—there, in a ring around her strolled and lolled a dozen Continental officers in butt and blue and gold! There was no reason why, but tho scene chilled me. “Have you been in bi.tle?"* Fenelope Yes After a silence: “I am most happy that you returned in safety.’” 6, Did you ever—ever think of me? I asked. “Why, yes,"' she replied in surprise, “I thought,” said I, ‘that being oc- cupied—and so greatly sought after by so many gallants—that you might eusily have forgotten me.” She laughed and plucked a grass- blade “I did not forget you," she said. \3 “That is amazing," said I, *'a mai so run after and so courted. She plucked another blade of gr and so sat, pulling at the tender ver- dure, her head bent so that I could not see what her eyes were thinking, but her lips seemed graver “Tell me," sald I, “are you happy?"
