Introductory

THIS will be tale of cities. Over plains and
mountains, into the hidden heart of
Africa, the trails will lead. Along them will
be heard the shouts of men in conflict, the argu-
ments of guns, the cries of wild anirnas-nuch of
untrammeed life in the wilds of nature which
made the author i'll content with any other.
A line of covered prairie wagons drawn by mules,
travelled slowly from Missouri into Northern Texas
in the spring of 1880. The trail was long and
dangerous. Nearly every night during the four
months of the journey those in charge, bearded
plainsman and his two half -grown sons, built
barricade and stood on watch for bands of raiding
Indians. They had not only themselves, their
horses and their household goods to protect, but
in their care, besides fifty slaves the six
motherless children of the family, four girls
toddling boy and baby. The last is now Colonel
I. Y F. Blake.
On the plains of Denton County, Texas, the
father drove the stakes for home, and estab-
lished a horse and cattle-ranch. All of the build
ings surrounded by high stockades to keep
out the Comanche Indians
After the Civil War, during which in this wild
border country he had experiences such as come
to few boys, young Blake became a cowboy and
a horse-breaker. At fourteen he did not know his
alphabet, but his father determined to give him
education, and Colonel Thomas NJ Gunter an old
friend, aided the plan by inviting the young
to and live at his house in Fayetteville,
Arkansas, where the State University was about
to be opened He made the journey of three hundred
miles accompanied by his father and brothers,
driving herd of seven hundred horses.
After preliminary study the young entered
the university the first day of its existence, being
of the eight original students He proved
promising youth that when Colonel Gunter was
elected to Congress he decided to appoint him to
West Point. Until the day in 1876 when young
Blake started for the military academy he had
never seen railway train At the age of twenty
four, in 1880, he had been graduated and had

me grieve. They said that the blood was sluggish
in the veins of the sons they bore; that the old
spirit was dead within you; that they were ashamed
of their children" The medicne-man paused
His small shrewd eyes travelled slowly over the array
of strong but stoId faces before him, and the
braves hung their heads.
Our great ancestors are ashamed" he went on
because their children warriors of the Cibicus
have allowed the white to push them back
to put up tepees their lands, to kill their game
to overrun their hunting grounds. Who are these
pale faces? Cannot anyone of you here who has his
growth outdistance white the trail? Can
you not find it where he has lost it and wanders
helpless to his death? Are you not as brave as
he? In their hearts Chiefs in the happy hunting
grounds know these things They still have faith
in their children and this is what they said to me-
They said that they would come back if they
not forced to by the presence of the pale faces
their peoples shame. If you give them the old
hunting grounds they left them, they will come
They will help you keep back the white men, and
to wear many scalps. They watching you, and
waiting. | have spoken"
The medicine turned and strobe into his
tepee. The braves had Strengthened up Uncon-
sciously they had clinched their fists. They moved
away slowly now but that night big fire blazed
in the camp; tom-toms and weird chanting sounded
on the thin mountain air Indians with Enthusiastically
painted faces began to appear in the freight and
to circle around, stealthily and slowly and
now with sort of frenzied haste, twisting their
bodies and leapng wildly The Cibicu braves
were dancing the war-dance. They were preparing
to drive the white away forever.
Hurley squaw-man told me this. He also
to it that General Wilcox, who then, in 1881
commander nchief with headquarters at Prescott
was informed to what in the wind. The latter
lost no time. He summoned his telegraph operator
and within an hour after the information had been
first received General Carr, up at Fort Apache
reading this message: Proceed with all speed
to the Indian settlement Cibicu Creek and arrest
the medicine-man Nakadolumi, who is stirring up
trouble

expedition the far interior 1t consisted of only
himself and Kafs boy, and yet these two pushed
their way for a thousand miles into the wilderness
of Africa. DR.. Livingstone, with large escort Of
natives, had reached no farther north than the
Zambes River. Blake faced the dangers of the
jungles with boy and reached point three
hundred miles beyond the river.
On his return, after two years spent in the COM
pany of savages and wild animals, he barely escaped
with his life in uprising of the Zulus. He went
to London in 1897, and while there wrote for The
National Review" a series of articles about the
Misrepresentation of the South African capitalists
who were selling mining stocks to the British
public. Blakes articles made sensation and cost
the Chartered Company, according to Cecil Rhodes,
five million pounds
Blake returned to South Africa and was in
Pretoria in $780, when delegation came to him
with the request that he help organize and take
command of brigade of Irishmen to fight the
British. In four days the Irish Brigade organ
lied. He was the only foreigner whom Paul
Kruger honored with the rank of colonel. He
directed the blowing up of hundreds OF miles of
railroad and led the Irishmen in all the important
engagements of the Boer War.

HERBERT WEIGH
Illustrated by Herman Rountree

received his commission as Second Lieu
tenant in the Sixth Cavalry, United States
army, stationed in Arizona.
The Apaches were on the war path,
and he at once found himself in the midst
of stirring adventures as an Indian fighter.
Within two years General Crook put him
in command of the Apache scouts connected
with the army With these he fought
against Geronimo and other Chiefs in some
of the hardest and most exciting Indian
campaigns Of the century.
But toward the end of the eighties the
Indians, after years of futile fighting,
wearied of the war-path and settled down
quietly on the reservations, leaving for
the army in Arizona no more exciting
activities than those of routine post-life.
The monotony of this palled upon the
young man, who had experienced so much
as the commander of the scouts. He was
a First Lieutenant now, with a captaincy
looming just ahead, but he decided to
quit the army General Miles, who had
succeeded General Crook, strongly advised
against this course, and the War Depart
ment at first refused to accept his resigna-
ton But, feeling that he had repaid the
country for his education at West Point,
he persisted and in 1880 laid down his
sword.
Blake tried business in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, but discovering that nature never
intended him for a business man, he went
to South Africa in 1893 and organized an
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-12-19
