In truth we SHALL" was the reply.
Look across the clearing to where the
big tree stands
Captain Ned looked and saw moving
there a dark mass which confirmed
his fears. 1t looked like more than if
ty men marching with compactness
and when the signal was repeated and
answered by one of the hidden braves
near the fort, the new enemy came to
halt.
See the moon shining on the buckles
and gunsi'' cried one of the BOYS. We
will have to meet the British now
at this moment an Indian sprang up
from behind stump and ran across
the clearing like deer.
He was not molested by those in the
fort but was permitted to join those
marching forward; and the boys i'm
agined that they could hear him telling
the story of the battle as far as it had
gone.
To their establishment, the soldiers
and Indians then marched to the left
and vanished. In vain they waited for
their temperance
1t was a long night for the watchers
within Fort Bobolink. They started at
every sound and when the moon went
down they were more vigilant than
ever.

Tho bodies OF the three Indians killed
in the night assault were no longer in
the grass. they had been removed dur
ing the darkness by their comrades.
Look! The whole British army
suddenly exclaimed boy at a loop
hole.
Sure enough, approaching the fort
with the bright light upon their equip
ments q large force of red coats were
to be seen marching in tolerable order.
On the TANKS of the white army
lowered a lot of indians, half naked,
and willy as foxes, and as the boys
watched them they felt that Fort Bobo-
link was soon to fall.
On came the red coats and the de-
tenders saw three cannon planted
where they could denolish the cabin
in a jiffy.
Having made his preparations, the
British commander rode forward with
a handsome Indian chieftain at his
side.
The savage also wore British uniform
and this identified him at once.
1T is Tecumseh in a major-general's
uniform" said Captain Ned. zone
shot would rid the frontier of it's great
est curse, but we will not fire now"
Tecumseh halted before the fort and
raised his hand. He was looking
straight at the little cabin.
If white men will surrender, Tecum-
sch promises to spare their lives,'' said
the chief.
The people in the fort looked at one
another. They had heard a great deal
about Indian mercy but they had
also heard how on one occasion Tecum-
sch had really interfefed to save the
lives of American prisoners.
Shall we surrender" asked Cap
tain Ned as he faced the little band.
Further resistance seems to mean
DEATH was the reply.
That is true
Captain Ned thrust a handkerchief
out OF a portfolio. The Indian turned
to the British general
Pile your arms up in one corner OF
the cabin and march out single file, y
commanded the officer
The boys took the barbados from
the door and threw it OPEN They had
placed all the rifles in one corner and
We're ready to march forth.
Come" said Ned. who had placed
himself at their head. Forward
march,
With the women. and little children
in the middle. the little band left Fort
Bobolink.
The red coated officer looked at Te-
cumseh and smiled.
But Tecumseh as erect as statue
continued to gaze straight ahead with
out moving a muscle
Ned Talcot marched his company to
within a few feet of the pair, then he
halted and saluted.
