as there still danger, then? Surely
now that we are under protection
there will be no attack"
mot from those we have passed,
but tits told me there are more than
thousand Iroquois warriors In the val
ley, and the garrison has less than
fifty men, all told. 1t was luck we got
through so easily. Ay, Boisrondet, we
are ready"
That was my first glimpse of the
interior of a frontier fort, and, al
though 1 saw only the little open space
lighted by few waving torches, the
memory abides with distInctness. A
body Of men met us at the gate, dim,
indlstinct figures, few among them
evidently soldiers from there dress,
but the majority clothed in the ordl-
nary garb of the wilderness. Save for
one Indian squaw, not woman was
visible, nor did recognize familiar
face, as the fellows, each man bear
welcome, eagerly questioning those
who had gone forth to our rescue. Yet
we were scarcely within, and the
gates closed, when a man pressed his
way forward through the throng, in
voice of authority bidding them stand
aside. A blazing torch cast its red
light over him, revealing slender fig
of In rh do ly
face, made alive by a pair of dense
brown eyes, which met mine in stare
of surprise.
"Back safe, Boisrondet," he ex-
claimed sharply, "and have brought in
woman. IT'S strange sight in this
land. Were any of our lads hurt?"
"None worth reporting, monsieur.
The man they carried was a soldier of
NJ. de la Durantaye. He was struck
down before we reached the party.
There is an old comrade here"
"An old comrade! Lift the torch,
Jacques. Faith, there are so few left
1 would not miss the sight of such a
face"
He stared about at US, for an in
slant uncertain; then took a quick
step forward, his hand outstretched.
Creme d'Artignyr' he cried, his joy
finding expression in his face. "Ay,
an old comrade, indeed, and only less
welcome than NJ. de la Sale himself.
Twas bold trick you played tonight,
but not unlike many another I have
seen YOU venture. You bring me mes
sage from monsieur"
"Only that he has sailed safely for
France to have audience with Louis.

and seek no quarrel with De Baugis."
"Easy enough to say; but in all

comes my way without seeking. De

rank, yet not so i'll comrade-but
