pledges Of his assistance. The colonists
were suspicious and threatening.
But Brant remained undecided. He
still was looking the horses over. He
had not picked the winner. It was not
until the break actually came when the
congress at Philadelphia declared the
states free and independent, and when
so much blood had been shed that there
was no chance of the differences be-
tween England and the colonies being
adjusted that Brant declared himself.
Then he announced that he would cast
his lot in with the British purely on
account of his forefathers' engagements
with the English king" There were
covenants between the Indian nations
and the British nation, he said, that
should be sacredly observed. AS he
was not any too sure as to who was
his father or his grandfather, Brant's
reference to his forefathers' engage
ments with the English king were fig
urative rather than literal.
Once he had decided as to the course
he was to follow in The war, I3fant be-
came active. 1t is to the shame Of Eng
land that it did everything to stir the
worst passions Of the Indians to cor

The agreement entered into between

was that in return for the aid the Six
Nations gave in subduing the colonists
the British were to give to each Indian
a gun, a suit Of clothes, a brass kettle
a tomahawk, a scalping knife and a
piece of gold. And, in addition, there
was promise Of a bounty for every
scalp brought in. The British kept their
compact as to scalps only too we'll.

Brant was the master spirit Of the mot

attention and lessen the force opposing

soon proved himself crafty, dauntless
and brave to the point of rashness. He
combined with his native hardihoOd
and sagacity the advantages of educa-

That season was painful, for the rea-
son that we played a fearful number
of ''tanks"-small towns. you know,
seeming to consist Of only a station
building and a watering tank-and Mill
den was the worst of the lot.
The insignificant look Of it inclined
Carson, our stage manager, to save his
good scenery if possible, and use that
belonging to the local, or ''Rube," man
ager; he therefore questioned the lat
ter regarding his supply.

Have everything!" said the local
chap, swelling with pride and Juggling
delightedly at his goatee. Mill was his

a Mills opera house and a dozen lesser
Mill things. Have everything
This was good news, as ours was seem
ically a tremendously eXacting play, re-
quiring a big range Of scenes, from a
Florida swamp, glittering with fireflies
whether they are to be found there or
nOt), to a Jail interior with practical
cells.
But somehow that goatee unsettled
Carson's faith and sharpened his intel

With a snort less Of disgust than ner-
vOus hurry, Carson shot away to have
our scenery put in place and tested.
This testing, particularly in the tanks,
was the bane of his life Often, in big
cities, the fire inspector would have the
grace to accept the evident test holes
of a former inspection, and would con-
siderately refrain from burning another;
but this NIillden idiot stoically piled his
gasoline torch to every drop" he could
get at, seeming to take more interest
in the fact that he could make a hole
than the manifest fact that the
scenery was fireproOf, neither smolder-
ing nor blazing.

furiously. You're not making Swiss
cheese. Quit. What do you pick out
the prettiest parts Of the middle for?
Why don't you burn at the edges?"

But at last Millden, in the person Of
