lowed on the heels Of Hair Face and
his wife. When we came to the edge
of the great swamp we stopped. We
did not know its paths. 1t was outside
our territory, and it had been always
avoided by the folk. None had ever
gone into it-at least to return. In our
minds it represented mystery and fear,
the terrible unknown. As l say, we
stopped at the edge Of it We were
afraid, The cries of the fire men
were drawing nearer. We looked at
one another. Hair Face ran out on
the quaking morass and gained the

follow. She tried to. but shrank back
from the treacherous surface and cow

The Swift One did not wait for me,
nor did she pause till she had passed
beyond Hair Face q hundred yards and
gained a much larger hummock. By
the time Lop Ear and l had caught up
with her the fire men appeared among
the trees. Hair Faces wife, driven by
them into panic terror, dashed after
Us. But she ran blindly, without eau

turned and watched and saw them

down in the mud. The arrows began
falling about US. Hair Face had now

they threw upon the fire green branches
with many leaves, whereupon the
smoke became very thick.

wrathfully. \ few arrows sped after
him. but he plunged into 4 thicket and
was gone.
The Swift One and I crept quietlT
away. only TO run foul of another par
" of fire men. They chased Us into
the blueberry swamp, but we knew the
tree paths across the farther morasses,
where they could not follow on the
ground, and so We escaped. We came
cut on the other side into a narrow
strip Of forest that separated the blue
berry swamp from the great swamp
that extended westward. Here we met
Lop Ear. How he had escaped l can
not imagine. unless he had not slept
the preceding night at the caves.
Here. in the strip Of forest. we might
have built tree shelters and settled
down. but the Fire People were per-
forming their work of determination

Face and his wife fed out from
among the trees to the east, passed Us
and were gone. They fed silently and
swiftly. with alarm in their faces. In

trated from the coast the warmer we
found it. and we went on and on until
we came to a large river that seemed
familiar to the Swift One. 1t was
where she must have come during the
four years absence from the horde.
This river we crossed on logs. landing
on the other side at the base of a large
bluff. High up on the bluff we found
our new home. a cave most difficult of
access and quite hidden from any eye

attempt to hurt them. He was one Of
them. At his heels, On stringy Bonded
