at the fire, and after long pause continued:
I'VE found her on way home, and after
tell you about our trip Cincinnati and our search
for Wyandottes cave, will tell you the adventure
that resulted in finding the girl.
A FTER the corn was laid by that summer, Balser
and took my fathers team and covered wagon,
loaded in the pelts and started southeast the
famous Michigan road for Cincinnati. In addition
to provisions necessary for the journey, had
iron pot skillet, and Dutch oven. The latter
was very useful utensil. 1t was fiat bottomed
round pot, eight inches in diameter and five inches
deep, resting three legs three inches high, and
having close fitting top.
when we wished to use the Dutch oven We heated
the hot ashes. Live Goals collected the
oven to keep it warm; but we were careful not to
have the Goals Close lest it become overheated
and burn the contents. We placed the corn pone,
whatever article wished to bake, inside the
oven covered it with the top, and the heat of
the ashes and the Goals baked supper for
beautifully.
I'VE started from home the last day of July,
and, the weather being and pleasant, we slept
comfortably under the wagon. There many
inns along the road; but to stop at them would re-
quire money, and had very little of that. There
fore, we camped out, and preferred our bed on the
ground to any that could be found in a tavern.
When it rained we spread Our bearskins over the
pelts inside the wagon and slept there dry
powder horn.
I'VE had often heard of a band of robbers that
lived it was said north of the Michigan road in the
heart of great, forest covered swamp. 1t

IL was OltSl illlltCu tlldL
they were related to some
of the innkeepers along the
road. No one knew much
about them, and those who
knew anything concerning
them wanted to know less.
Once in a long while
the plundering of a wagon
was reported: but the
robbers usually confined
themselves to the gentle
art of horse stealing, and
it was supposed they sold
their horses to dealers in
Cincinnati with whom the
thieves were in league.
The exact locality of
the robbers home had
never been ascertained.
Some claimed that they
lived within a few miles of
Cincinnati; others said that
they resided fifty or sixty
miles west of that city; but
all agreed that their home
was in the midst of a dark
forest and was surrounded
by a swamp that was inn
passable to all save those
who knew the key to the
labyrinth path leading to
the robbers abode.
AS l have told you,
certain taverns along the
road bore a bad reputation
because of their supposed
connection with this robber
band. But no one could
say with certainty that he
knew the reputation was
deserved by anyone of the
taverns, until Balser and /
discovered one that, we
learned without question.
and to our sorrow, did de-
serve all the evil that could
be said of it. But that all
occurred while we were re-
turning from Cincinnati,
and I'll not tell you about
it until its turn comes. 1t
was said that the family of
robbers bore the name Of
Wolf. But whatever their
name may have been, they
