Do you remember that we put Ray Portland out
at fifty cents share, and within two weeks from
the time that it first was traded on the New York
Curb it rose to high of $500 share. Subscrip-
tons for the stock of the Sheep Trail have dou-
bled the subscriptions for Ray Portland and,
therefore, the possibilities, in our estimation, are
even greater than that which occurred in Ray
Portland.

Subscriptions for the stock Of this Company have
been coming in faster than anticipate. We
have decided to put the stock the New York
Curb about two weeks earlier than we have ad-
vertised. Subscription book will be closed any
minute without notice to the public. From the
way subscriptions came in, we honestly believe
this stock will go to seventy cents share on the
curb the first week of trading.

They advanced wariiy. The regular troops. under Colonel Boyd, headed the little column; the militia followed; Spier Spencer's Yellow Jackets" trot- ted at the left, the vincennes horse men at the right; Jo Daviess' Ken lucky dragons brought up the rear. The boats conveying the supplies were left at a blockhouse hastily con- structed at a point 25 miles north of Fort Harrison; and at noon of Novem- Der 6 they came into view of the hun dreds of tepees which made up the Prophets town. Less than one thou sand strong. they had ventured to the Indian stronghold. where 2.0oo braves were assembled; all along their march they had been exposed to attack; and now. as they marched resolutely for ward. the red warriors began to pour out like angry bees from a hive.
 The column halted and a barley took place. Angrily the Indians Inquired the meaning of the army's advance did they intend to attack? Harrison shook his head; he wished merely to encamp that night and to confer with the Prophet In the morning; there should be no hostilities. The chiefs grunted, pacifed. and the army, wheel ing a mile to the northwest, made camp upon a wooded plateau. along whose abrupt decliyity on the west there ran a little creek. called Tippe- canoe. The regular troops pitched their tents; the militia, shivering in the raw November dusk. without tents, were forced to build great fires, around which they huddled upon their arms.

CHAPTER XII.
sYankee Doodle Dandy"

As the end of the hurrying file of sayagaS vanished into the woods David stole back toward the glade where Ike lay. He had gone but three miles on his quest for help when his anxiety for Ike's safety had overcome him and he turned back. He had nearly reached the spot when be caught sight of the last two warriors of the party, and Toinette between them; and even as his blood stopped in his veins at the vision, the two warriors overlook the advance guard and disappeared from view among the trees.
 The blood pounded wildly in Da- vid's temples, and like madman he rushed to the side of the delirious man.

CHAPTER XIII.
In the House of the Prophet.

The red warriors who had glided past Blackford's delirious eyes dragged with them a girl who called piteously for help. "ke, Ike, don't you know meT she screamed, and was answered only by the mocking silences of the woods.
 Northward she struggled. driven by her captors: and all around she saw the unpitying children of the wood. Down 10 the edge of the rivers came the dark majesty of the forest. Be low struggled the green galaxy of bush and shrub; and above, towering beeches, clean-boled, smooth, gray, rearing their clouds of delicate leaf cry; sycamores. whose massive pill lars gleamed white through the dusky aisles; superb cottonwoods, bearing with proud lightness their weight of ever-trembllng leaves; colossal oaks, like Atlas lifting up green worlds of foliage: and, king of all, the Ameri- can liriodendron-the tulip tree-its branches a stupendous dome of majes- tic beauty, over which, in May, 1t cast the miraculous loyeliness of its waxen blossoms.
 By day Toinette saw at times the milder people of the woods, crouched in the night encampments, she lis- tened with beating heart to the ter rible scream of the cougar. the tawny demon of the wood, or trembled in ap- prehension of those other human, more dreadful demons, her captors.
 
 Noon of the sixth day of November. 4 fire of twigs filled the tepee with an acrid smoke and rendered the cold but little less damp. On the pile of skins upon the frozen ground were three figures, two men and woman. Both men wore the leathern dress and moccasins of the Indian, but in spite of his dress and darkly tanned face, it could be seen that one was white. The woman wore what had once been a dress such as swept the garden walks of Versailles; but 1, was now no more than a torn and muddy rag, her naked shoulders l scratched and torn by branch and hrier and blue with cold. The white man tossed a buffalo robe toward the

perhuman force seemed dragging him away to rush after the vanished war party; but as often as he rose fren- ziedly to his feet, the utter folly of attempting Toiuette's rescue alone pulled him down; and at last he forced himself to turn his back on his last hope and to bow his head to the duty nearest al hand.
 Through the long nights his lonely vigils were spent in broodIng over the past. By day he secured the woods for food, finding a wealth of purple clusters of the wild fox-grape, wits labrusca, the muscadine; sometimes. seeing the busy cloud of wild bees swarming high overhead, he smeared his face and hands with wet clay, climbed laboriously to their strong hold. and rifled their rich masses of dripping honey; sometimes finding a store of nuts, forgotten by the chat tering squirrels; sometimes succeed ing in bringing down a black grouse as it drummed and strutted on a res onant log. Thus eking out their scanty store of dried venison, he kept life In Blackford's body through twelve days of agonized watching.
 And at last the fever and the stab- ping pain in Ike's side vanished under the healing of the forest. There came a day when David gaunt and weak from starvation, bent over Ike and felt the hot tears yelling up unconsciously; and even as he watched, Ike's eyes opened and looked up at him with all delirium gone.
 Hello, David" he said weakly, 'Is | the rain overT'

 The flaps of the deerskin tent were drawn aside and the painted face of warrior was thrust in. He was drip ping with sweat though the day was chilly, and his words were hurried. Toinette strove in vain to catch an English word among the torrent of Delaware, but none came; she guessed from the startled grunts from Elkska- tawa and the oath that fell from Cir tvs lips that the message was of seri- ous pOrtent. Girty, casting a glance over his shoulder, saw the girls in- tense gaze fixed upon them, and laughed sneeringly.
 Here's some news fur ye-thet fine young man of yours hes he'd his scalp l lifted, he, he, he. Some O the young Pottawattamies met up wi him wan 1 derin' Tong lost into the woods as ef he thought he was in Phlladelphy." Toinette whitened. The braves who had brought her into the village of the Prophet had told Girty, doubtless. | that she had recognized the sick man in the woods. Had another scout ing party found Ike and killed him7 She could not know; Girty, seeing her blanch at his random thrust, giggled In triumph. The news which the run ner had brought was that the army of whites was within a few miles.
 The consultation between the Prophet and the renegade went on in guttural whispers. Toinette began to wonder why the news of the capture of a single white man should cause so prolonged a discussion. Sounds of unusual activity In the village be | gan to reach her-a constant batter of moccasined feet, hurrying by the tent, the occasional wailing of Q squaw, quickly hushed by an angry command, the barking of the mangy Indian dOgs-an unmistakable restless ness in the whole camp.
 There fel! on her ear the faint sound of drums-distant, measured, drums of the savage. Nearer and nearer 1t came, steady, unmistakable and then, her heart at first refusing to believe her ears, the shrill and reckless music of the fifesl She be. gan to thrill with hope in every nerve; and with an inarticulate sob O: joy she rose to her knees.
