New York, Nov. 28.-The impending

change against professional trading

a decided diminution Of operations in

To these factors were added the
conflicting advices from abroad, such
as the reported peace negotiations
between the Russian radicals and the
central powers, and Italy's further
successful defensive. Exchange on

development, however, and remit

them. The children ran up and down
the lanes in the twilight, playing at
Indians, until their mothers called
them indoors with shudder at the
thought of the nearness of the Turk
ing savages who might turn those
shrieks of pretended fear into shrieks
of actual terror.
There seemed to be nothing to do
but wait.
But at noon on the seventeenth of
September, serene and cloudless day,
a backwoodsman, passing through the
lanes of Vincennes, pausing carelessly
to glance up at an eagle soaring into
the face of the sun, uttered an ejacu-
lation. A piece had been bitten out
of the suns edge, he thought. Little
by little the dark shadow gnawed it's
way into the blazing disk, and the
people stopped their tasks to gaze up
ward at the growing eclipse. The
simpler French inhabitants chartered
in an agitation which was as nothing,
however, compared with the dismay of
she squalid Piankeshaw Indians, who
dragged on their harmless, wretched
existence in the village of tepees on
the edge of town. BY three o'clock
only ring of light was visible, the
center of the sun being obscured by
a smoky disk which cast the earth into
twilight darkness. The Indian vii
layers cast themselves upon the
ground in AFFECT fright, and sacrificed
their dogs alive to appease the angry
Manitou.
Half-blind Elkskatawa, Prophet, had
received the answer to his prayer.
And Tecumseh, the Crouching Cougar,

The woodsrnen who crowded about

babe them goodby looked on them as

1t was an hour before sunrise, but
the sky was paling with the light pre-
ceding dawn. They drew deep breaths
and set off at trot They went on at
a steady shuttle, their eyes alert for
any signs. their ears strained for any
sound. At noon they stopped long
enough to eat a little of the smoked
venison in their packs, then went on
at the same pace. BY night they had
covered more than thirty miles; the
Indians whom they pursued had prob
ably made forty miles with no more
difficulty than they had put behind
them twenty.
The two knew that it was a losing
game, if one factor was not taken
into consideration - the probability
that sooner or later Toinette's captors
would consider themselves beyond the
possibility of pursuit, would make
camp in the woods for two or three
days while they hunted game; it was
on this off-chance that the two young
men hung doggedly to the chase.

Night came on and group of men
gradually gathered on the benches and
the grass in front of the Jefferson
house, as the tavern of Parmenas
Beckes, bearing on its signboard a
staring portrait of the statesman,
was grandly called. They talked in
low tones, and David, on the edge of
the crowd, could not distinguish their
words. He knew. however, that most

address a square-jawed young man in
the uniform of a captain in the Unit

had commended to the department the
work of the young captain in trans

CHAPTER xI.
BY Break of Day.

Still the depredations of marauding
bands of Indians continued. Horses
were stolen; more than once a settler
at work in field, far from help, was
surprised and murdered; his body,
found lying by his pillow, always bear
ing red scar upon the forehead. In
dignation ran higher and higher.
David Laurence, who had enlisted as
soon as he reached Vincennes, drilled
daily with the grim frontiersmen. He
had told himself that Corydon should
be wiped from his memory; but, in
spite of ALL his mind could not blot
out the image of a girl whose blue
eyes smiled above her smiling lips !;
could not forget the little cabin which
she hallowed with her grace, the little
house on the edge of the woods; lone
ly, pathetically exposed to the unseen
danger of the dark forest that over
Swallowed it.
The sun that had been yelled at
midday of the seventeenth struggled
all the next day through gathering
clouds and sank among the shoulders
of gray giants. David was walking in
the twilight toward the Jefferson
house when the sound of flying hoofs
thudding along the dirt lane, the old
rue st. Louis, struck on his ear
He turned idly to see who rode so
furiously, and as the horseman drew
rein and pulled the smoking steed to
its launches a cry of mutual recogni-
ton broke from both men.
"Ike!''
But Blackford paused for no greet
ing.
"The Indians-Toinette! !"
He flung himself from his horse and
staggered with exhaustion. His face
was as white as the lather of foam on
the heaving tanks of his mount.
"What?"
"They took her last night-at dark
O'Bannon had left the house scarcely
an hour-God help him, it struck him

suffering. rs it known what course
they took?"
ITO the NORTH" gasped Ike. "There
was not a ranger in the country to
follow; they are all here in Vincennes
with Spencer's company; but the
Frenchman, Pierre Devan, followed
them and overlook them at their camp
that night. There We're eight of them,
and he could do nothing; but he
crawled close enough to hear their
talk. They are taking her to the
Prophets town at a creek called Tip

Ike tottered in sheer exhaustion.

shall start at daybreak."
But Blackford shook his head.
Il go with you, David" he said sim
ply. The two young men gripped
hands in silence.
They entered the tavern and David
began to make his hasty preparations.
Benjamin Parke, the judge of the gen.
eral court, an especial friend of Gov
ernor Harrison, sat at his dinner in
the tavern; he heard the story that
spread from lip to lip and setting
down his glass hastily, he strobe over
to the young men.
