CHAPTER XXI.
We Reach the River.

We Reach the RiVer.
It was the voice of Boisrondet which
recalled us to a sense of danger.
'It is late, and we must not linger
here" he insisted, touching D'Artigny's
sleeve. 'The guard may discover your
absence, Rene, before we get beyond
the stockade. Yet how can we get
madame safely over the logs?"
"She must venture the same as we.
Follow me closely, and tread with
care"
So dark was the night was obliged
to trust entirely to D'Artigny's guild
ance but it was evident that both men
were familiar with the way, and had
thoroughly considered the best method
of escape. No doubt De Tonty and
his young lieutenant had arranged all
details, so as to assure success. We
traversed the fiat roofs of the chain of
log houses along the west side of the
stockade until we came to the end.
The only light visible was dull glow
of embers before the guardhouse near
the center of the parade, which re-
vealed a group of soldiers on duty.
The stockade extended some distance
beyond where we halted, crouched low
on the fiat roof to escape being seen.
There would be armed men along that
wall, especially near the gates, guard
ing against attack, but the darkness
gave us no glimpse. There was no
firing, no movement to be perceived.
The two men crept to the edge, and
looked cautiously over, and l chung
close to D'Artigny, nervous from the
silence, and afraid to become separat-
ed. Below us was the dense blackness
of the gorge.
This is the spot" whispered D'Ar-
tigny, land no alarm yet. How far
to the rocks?"
DE Tonty figured the distance at
forty feet below the stockade; we have
| fifty feet of rope here. The rock shelf
is narrow, and the great risk will be
not to stop off in the darkness. There

leadership they would be match even
for the Iroquois. De Tonty led them
once against these same warriors, and
they fought like fiends. Come, we will
follow the stream. and see if we cannot
find trace of their covert"
1t was but a cluster of rocks where
the hut stood, and few yards below
we found the forest creeping down to
the very bank of the river. The sky
had lightened above us, the obscurinG
clouds opening to let the silver CLEAN
of stars through. and we paused mo-
ment gazing back and upward at The
vast rock on which perched the be-
leaguered fort. We could dimly per-
ceive the vague outline of it silhouet-
ted against the lighter arch of sky. In
massive gloom and silence it seemed
to dominate the night, the grim forest
sweeping up to its very walls. Not a

about me.
"I would that really knew what

be in my power to circumvent-at least
