An Indian whose lank figure was
hidden in the padded depths of Brit
ish officers scarlet uniform, and whose
coppery face peeped out from behind
the meshes of coquettish black veil'
was standing in conference with Col.
Ephraim Williams, leader of body
of Colonial troops The yelled man was
Hendrix. one of the foremost chiefs OF
the Mohawk nation
Williams with 1000 soldiers, and
Hendrix with 200 Mohawk braves, had
been detached from the main body OF
the English militiamen who had hur-
ried 'Tnorth to meet large party OF
French soldiers, Canadians and their
Indian allies who were invading New
York. The detachment learned that a
thanking force of French were APP

Are cur numbers sufficient to meet
them ?"asked Williams.
If we are to fight retorted Hen
dirk. I'VE are too few. If We are to
be killed, we are too many.
The Savage With the Veil.
Williams then proposed plan to di-
vide his 1900 men into three detach-
ments for the attack. Hendrix by way
of answer picked up three sticks, and
bound them together and strove to
break them. He could not do it. Then,
taking each stick separately, he broke
all three with ease.
Three sticks tied in a faggot," said
he, cannot readily be broken. One by
one they are easy to break. So with
our forces
1t was by such quaint. common sense
phrases that Hendrix had won
throughout the colonies high repute
for shrewd wisdom. BY far his chief
claim to greatr SIS lies in the impor-
tant services ne was forever render
ing to the English colonies, not only
in the French and Indian war, but
among his own people.
Hendrix was born in 1880. He was
the son of Wolf, a Mohegan chief, and
of a Mohawk princess. AS was often
the custom, he became enrolled in his
mothers tribe and later strengthened
fis bonds to it by marrying Hunnis,
he beautiful daughter of a Mohawk
chieftain. His bravery and wisdom
soon raised Hendrix high in the coun-
ellis of the Six Nations" He was
from the first a loyal friend to the Eng
fish colonists To his efforts largely
was due the celebrated treaty of 1854
between the Six Nations and the Eng
fish.
1t was a dangerous period for the
British colonies in North America, for
France was planning to sweep those
colonies from the face of the earth
and to claim the whole North Ameri-
can continent as a huge French prov
ince In Canada and in the west the
French were allpowerful. They had
made allies of many strong Indian
tribes, and were trying to lure to their
standard the six Nations Had they
succeeded in doing this New York and
other colonies would probably have
been overrun by local hostile Indians
as well as threatened from north and
west by the French invaders 1t

much of its course. runs through a

found only along the river banks. On
these banks the Yuma savages lived.
For to venture far into the desert was
to court starvation
Yet the desert trails and hiding
places were known to the Yumas, and
the sands were often Redeemed with
their battles. Pasqual-typical desert

in Its wake caue soldiers and white
settlers. California was conquered
and an era of bustling progress set
in. The land on both sides of the
Colorado river was invaded by the
home-seeking frontiersmen.
Arrow Versus Rifle Bullet.
Pasqual had no idea of letting the
white man steal the most fertile parts
of his wide domain. So quarrels
sprang up between settlers and saw
ages. And, as usual, the pioneers sent
call for help to the soldiery.
Accordingly, in 1S4S, Capt Heintzel-
man Qater a general in the civil war;
was sent with a force of troops to
overawe the Yumas The conflicts
that followed were terribly unequal.
The troops were well-trained veterans,
armed with the latest and best guns
and carrying cannon as well. Pasqual
understood only Indian warfare, and
his wild warriors had no weapons ex-
cept their bows, arrows and native
spears.
Yet the splendid generalship of
Pasqual and the fierce courage of his
Yuma braves almost made up for
| these defects. In fight after fight

HENDRIX

I was a perilous moment and Hendrix,
by his stanch loyalty. helped to turn
the scales in the colonies favor.
He even raised hundreds of savage
warriors and took part in the battle OF
Lake George against Baron Dieskaus
invading horse of French and In
dams 1t was during this-his last
campaign that he gave his celebrated
advice to Col. Williams-wise coun-
sci which the colonel leader unfortu-
nately had not the wit to follow.
Hendrix formed a lifelong friendship
with Sir William Johnson. who was
superintendent of Indian affairs. john
son understood Indian character as did
few white men SO when he appeared
once in a gorgeously embroidered suit
he was not surprised to hear Hendrix
say:
Il dreamed Sir William, that you
gave me that suit as present.
Johnson knowing the significance
of dreams and visions among the saw
ages. and realizing he was being trick
ed obediently took off the gorgeous
suit and turned it over to Hendrix.
Next day Sir William sought out Hen
! dirk and said: Last night | dreamed
you gave me deed for such-and-such a
tract of land
A Contest in visions"
| Hendrix, taken aback but equally
well understanding the trick, grunted
sulenly in reply:
! The land shall be yours. But | will
never have another dreaming contest
with you!"
Yet the incident did not sever the
friendship with Sir William. Through
the French and Indian War he fought
at Johnson's side and did valiant deeds
in behalf of his white brethren He
wore a British officers uniform and,
for some unknown reason, always
went into battle with veil on his
! face. In the expedition on which
Hendrix and Williams led the detach-
ment of 1900 men and during which
Williams refused to listen TO the

The aged chiefs death was amply
avenged by his Mohawks, and there
was bitter mourning among the Six
Nations for the fall of their most re-

the advancing white men with SUCH
reckless fury that the far better
equipped soldiers we're driven back
before the hail of native arrows. Fol-
time primitive savagery threatened
to block the path of progress, and the
old time arrow seemed to hold its
own against the modern rife bullet
and cannon ball.
Yet in the end, of course, the gov
eminent forces triumphed. In the
skirmishes the troops made but poor
showing against the horde of fear
less, gigantic Yumas; but musket and
cannon in open field engagements left
only one result possible.
The Yumas were moved down like
grain. Their ranks were steadily
thinning, while there were always
new men capable Of taking the place
of fallen soldiers. Pasqual was at
last forced to give up the one-sided
struggle.
The desert warrior was obliged, for
his peoples sake, to lay aside his
weapons and teach his braves to be-
come farmers, traders. etc. As set
tiers and nearby Mexicans cheated
them and undersold them, the Yumas
yearly grew poorer. At length, coop
ed into their barren reservation, they
became a ragged. miserable gypsy
