darkness by the dazzling blue of sheet
lightning. 1t was gone al Instantly
as it came and the crash Of thunder
which accompanied it drowned his cry.
In that single moment Of the binding
flash he had seen, outlined against the
s%himmering sky, framed in the rec
tangle of the door, the dreadful figure
of q crouching Indian, knife in hand.
His limbs froze in horror. The room
was now as black as midnight, but his
eyes ached with the impress Of the
lightning glare and the image that had
been struck into them. Still in the
pitch darkness he could see that sick
ening face-dark, evil, it's bfoodshot
eyes peering inadvertently into the
room.
He heard the r~ain-soaked mOccasins
of the savage take two steps inward.
Before he could cry out again, a sec
ond flash Of lightning illumined the
room, and showed a second man, tall,
pale with anger, his foot on the thresh-
old.
With the hoarse snarl of a wild
beast, the Indian leaped at the figure
in the doorway. They grappled. In
the darkness Elliott heard their quick
terrible breathing as they swayed in
a struggle for life. A stool tripped
them and they fell, rolling against him,
Again the lightning flared and he saw
the knife, dashed from the Indians
hand, lying beside him. The white
man was beneath, his face hidden by
the straining shoulders of the savage.
Blindly Elliott seized the weapon and
struck with hysterical force.
The man beneath shook off the re-
laxed arms of the hideous intruder and
rose %unsteadily to his feet. Then he
laughed aloud in the darkness,
II can't see who you are, frieni," he
said, "but you've certainly saved me
from q close call"
Elliott made no answer. He VA
sobbing weakly, his hand still clutch
ing the blood-stained knife. From the
upper room came the sound of voices
and the tavernkeeper came hurriedly
down the narrow ladder leading from
the loft, followed by the awakened
guests. Someone struck a flint can
dies were lighted.

With a bound he reached the bank

ats friendly shelter, and ran on noise

edge. back toward the quarter from
which the shot had come; if he were
pursued, it would be better to let the
chase pass him than to try to out

he stopped and inch by inch crawled
up 10 the top of the bank until he
could lift his head with infinite eau
1iGR and peer through the tufts of
weeds. No sound broke the stiffness.
Eor an eternity of time he lay, clutch
ing his rifle in readiness; but the only
sound was the querulous calling Of the
little wOodpecker, high overhead. He
waited waited waited.

RFB0ut to cry out with relief when the
g~littering eyes were turned full toward
Grim, though they failed to pierce the
sEteitering covert, and with a sickening
aSGrrOr David recognized the face of
Simon Girty, the renegade!
On the instant, David lifted his rifle
and fired full at the crouching figure.
From Girty's lips broke the roar of

back with the impact Of the shot, but

weapon to his shoulder; and David

the bank and braced himself for the
gHset. AS the dubbed rife of the out

his own upward to meet it. They
crushed together and splintered with
n shock and in the same second, fling
1ug the broken stock away, the mighty
arms of Simon Girty flung themselves
around David.
With the strength of desperation,
David strove to oppose the terrible
SiHews. Back and forth over the
frozen grass the two men fought like
beasts, heaving, struggling, stumbling
over roots, locked in an embrace as
deadly as that Of the cougar. But it
could not last long; David felt his
strength ebbing under the terrific
strain and his breath grew short and
Gasping when suddenly the earth gave
way beneath their feet and with q last
iespairing effort David twisted him
self above as they toppled over the low
bluff, and the fight was over. Girty,
shilling underneath, had struck his head
upon a stone; and his arms relaxed
their hold.
David stood up, painting.
Girty lay very still. But David
knew that he must make sure that the
mai was dead before he could be safe
himself. He felt in his girdle for his
knife but it had fallen out during the
struggle. Clamberlng up the bank
hgain, he saw it lying on the ground
and as his fingers closed upon the
mandle he thought he heard a sob. He
Nugzsed his head quickly.

Night had fallen. Far to the east
a sheet Of flame iickered palely. Long
after, a faint roll of thunder followed.
A drop OF icy rain struck his face.

doctor from Louisville, young Doctor
Elliott, was within; and, though sever

that night at Conrod's tavern outside
the village.
He set out on the road that led to the
east. The storm had reached its
height.

they marched and flung their arms
around the necks of brothers, fathers,

for those who would never return,
or threw themselves with weeping be-

the filters. But a hundred hearts were
happy and thanked God; and happiest
of all was a little old man, Patrice
O'Bannon, who strained his daughter

again with tears mingling with his
kisses; for she had been brought back
to him as from the grave.

There re NJ early colonial flags, such a were used by the individual

required That the flag of the United States be 10 stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be ID stars, white in blue field, representing a new
constellation" but did not define how many points the stars should have,
how they should be arranged, nor make provision for additional ones.
The navy Immediately adopted this flag, but the army was much slower
to act. Representative of the early starsand-sripe type, there is a 12star
flag said to have been used by John Paul Jones during the war Of the Revlu-
ton. 1t measures 1914 by 6 feet and was presented to Lieut.. James Bayard
