Law looked at Pembroke, and they

far very well. Sir Arthur, we are at

Pembroke smiled sadly. "Why, sir"
said he, edo you think me so sorry a
fellow as that? Looli." and he pointed
to Mary Connynge and the child
There Is your duty"
Law followed his gaze. and his look
was returned dumbly by the woman
who had played SO strange a part in
the late passages of his life Never
a word with her had Law spoken re-
garding his plans or concerning what
he had learned from Pembroke. As
to this, Mary Connynge had been afraid
to ask, nor dare ask even now.
Besides" went on Pembroke later
as he called Law aside. there Is some
thing to be done not here, but over
there, in England, or in France. Your
duty Is involved not only with this
woman You must find sometime the

1t was, indeed, that noted chieftain
of the Iroquois who now advanced
close up to the wall. Law and Penn
broke stepped out to meet him beyond
the palisade, the old voyageur still
serving as interpreter from the plat
form at their back.
He says-listen, messieurs!-he
says he knows there Is going to be a
big peace; that the Iroquois are tired
of fighting and that their hearts are
sore He says-a most manifest lie,
beg you to observe, messieurs-that
he loves the English, and that al
though he ought to kill the French
men of our garrison, he will, since
some of us are English, and hence his
friends, spare us all if we will cease
to fight"
Pembroke turned to Law with ques-
ton in his eye.
There must be something done"
said the latter in a low tone. I'VE
were short enough of ammunition here
even before Du Mesne left for the set
Elements, and your own men have none
too much left"
Reject Bethink yourselves, Eng
lishmen!' he says to u.s." continued
Pierre Noir. 1--WE came to make war
upon the Illini. Our work here is
done. 'Tis time now that we went
back to our villages. If there is to be
big peace, the Iroquois must be
there; for unless the Iroquois demand
it, there can be no peace at ALL And,
gentlemen, beg you to remember it is
an Iroquois who is talking. and that
the truth is not in the tongue of an
lroquois."
"'Tis a desperate chance, Mr.. Law
said Pembroke. "Yet if we keep up
the fight here. there can be but one
end"
"'Tis true" said Law; ''and there
are others to be considered"
1t was hurriedly thus concluded.
Law finally advanced toward the tall
figure of the Iroouois headman. and
looked him straight in the face.
Tell him." said he to Pierre Noir,
that we are all English, and that we
are 1lOI dlTdlu, anu tudl ii we are
harmed, the armies of Corlaer will de-
stroy the Iroquois. even as the Iro,
quois have the Illini. Tell him that
we will go back with him to the set
Elements because we are willing to go
hat way upon journey which we
had already planned We could fight
forever if we chose, and he can see
for himself by the bodies of his young
men how well we are able to make
war"
1T is WE'LL" replied Teganisoris.

that this shall be done, as have said"
THE word of an Iroquois!" cried
Pierre Noir, slamming down the butt
OF his musket. THE word of snake,
say rather! Jean Breboeuf, harken
YOU to what our leaders have agreed.
We are to go as prisoners of the Iro.

CHAPTER XXVU.
THE IROQUOIS.


Even as Sir Arthur and John Law
clasped hands, there came a sudden in
corruption. A half-score yards deeper
in the wood there arose sudden, half
choked cry, followed by shrill whoop.
There was a crashing as of one run
ming, and Immediately there pressed
into the open space the figure of an
indian, an old man from the village
Of The lllini. Even as his staggering
footsteps brought him within gaze, the
Two startled observers saw the shaft
which had sunk deep within his breast
He had been shot through by an In.
dian arrow, and upon the instant it
was all too plain whose hand had sped
HE shaft. Following close upon his
heels there came a stalwart savage
whose face, hideously painted, appeared
fairly demoniacal as he came bounding
on with uplifted Ratchet Seeking to
strike down the victim already impaled
by the silent arrow.
"Quick!" cried Law, in flash catch
ing the meaning of this sudden spec
tacle. Into the fort, Sir Arthur, and
call the men together!"
Not stopping to relieve the struggles
Of the victim, who had now fallen
forward, saspinS, Law sprang on with
drawn blade to meet the advancing
savage. The latter paused for an I'M
certain moment, and then with shrill
yell of defiance, hurled the keen steel
Ratchet full at Laws head. 1t shore
away piece of his hat brim, and sank
with edge deep buried in the trunk of
a tree beyond. The savage turned, but
turned too late. The blade of the
swordsman passed through from rib
to rib under his arm, and he fell chok-
ing, even as he sought again to give
vent to his war cry.
And now arose in the woods beyond,
and in the fields below the hill, and
from the villages of the neghboring
indians, a series of sharp, undulating
yells. Shots came from within the
fortress where the loop-holes were al
ready manned. There were borne from
the nearest wigwams of the Illini the
screams of wounded men, the shrieks
vi lci Ilhtu WoileH III an instant the
peaceful spot had become the scene of
a horrible confusion. Once more the
wolves of the woods, the Iroquois, had
fallon on their prey.
Swift as had been Laws movements
Pembroke was but pace behind him
as he wrenched free his blade The
two turned back together and started
at speed for the palisade At the gate
they met others hurrying In, Penn
brokes men joining in the rush of the
frightened villagers. Among these the
lroquois pressed with shrill yells. ply-
ing knife and bow and Ratchet as they
ran. and the Mortified eyes of those
within the palisade saw many a trag-
DIV enacted
