 So passed two days of the forlorn chase. In the afternoon the clouds heaped up before northerly wind growing blacker and blacker, hour upon hour. At nightfall the gale broke. The rain wrapped them ir gray garments of water, drenching them to the skin instantly, binding them with its resistless rush. They plunged wretchedly along through the binding downpOur, forcing their way through the hollows. Their deerskir clothing had long ceased to be any more than sort of mere cohesive fluid. Everything, except the powder in their horns, was water. The world was water. And growing colder.
 It rained all night long. The two half-drowned men, chilled to the bone finally gave up all effort to find pro lection from the deluge and lay prone in the grass with the flood rustling all around them. Their heads alone, pill lowed on their arms, were above the sluicing streams. Once or twice, SC utter was their exhaustion, they slept
 It rained in showers in the morn ing. There was no sun, no opportu- nifty to dry their clothing. They ate morsel of rain-soaked venison, plod- ded on and on through the dripping wilderness in dogged silence, too weary to speak. David turned once to look at Ike and was startled at the sight of Blackford's drawn blue lips and tho suffering lines of his face. When he caught David's eyes on him, Ike forced smile that shone through the pour. ing rain.
 shouldn't be surprised if 1t rains before the day is over," he grinned I'm getting tired of this drought"
 But the mortal weariness came back to his face as David turned forward again. All through the day he forced himself forward, summoning every re- serve of strength to compel his limbe to persist in the relentless struggle on- ward. A sudden pain shot through his side, almost making him cry out His head began to feel strangely light and his pulses throbbed in his earA He wanted to cry out to David to stop. The rain ceased and the breeze which drove some early-yellowing leaves downward was chilly; but he burned with heat that made him dizzy.
 Finally he began to stagger from side to side as he walked; and then. with pitiful. innrticulate moan, which David barely heard, he pitched for. ward and tainted.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel. cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little 'insides' are injured by them.

 T will do what I can with General Harrison" assured the judge hastily. "God be with you"
 The woodsmen who crowded about them at the news warned them against the quest. To all objections they re- turned the same disregard; their duty lay plain before them. Those who bade them goodby looked on them as men going to certain death-
 It was an hour before sunrise, but the sky was paiing with the light pro ceding dawn. They drew deep breaths and set of at trot. They went on at 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 veniscn 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: 1t was on this off-chance that the two young men hung doggedly to the chase.
 They dared not travel by night. At dark they made camp in a ravine where their campfire would be un-

silently. The long. hot hours dragged by. At sunset they heard the bugle at Fort Knox, the stockade inclosure three miles up the river, sound faintly the end of the day.
 Night came on and a 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 of the leaders of the town were there : Wash Johnson, the old postmaster, with his deep voice booming out at intervals; Henry Hurst and Henry Van der Bursh, the judges; Benjamin Psrke. more recently appointed to the bench; old John Small. who had been sheriff twenty years before and scalped with his own hand marauding Indians whom his posse had pursued and captured; Peter Jones, who had seen the error of his ways as a tav- ern keeper and had reformed and be- come the territorial auditor and the custodian of the infant public library the hot-headed yirginian.

Francois Vigo, the old Spanish merchant, who had seen George Rogers Clark storm vincennes g years before, sat at David's side, a fine old fellow of seventy-fve.
 The only light visible was that in the shop of the printer, Elihu Stout, industriOusly aiding his apprentice al the types or y.,ping his inky fingers to exa ,ine a proof pulled on the broad hand-press. The moths and insects fluttered around his candles and the sweat poured of his forehead; but the Western Sun was due for publication on the morrow and he meant to see 1t through.
 David listened with closer attention when he overheard Governor Harrison address a square-jawed young man iu the uniform of captain in the Unit, ed States army. telling him that he had just written to Eustis, the sec, retary of war, at Washington, and had commended to the department the work of the young captain h trans. forming the little fort near yincennes from place wretchedly neglected into an adequate stronghold. yigo whis. pered to David that the boy was Capt Zachary Taylor from Kentucky, who had been placed in command at Fort Khox but a few weeks previously.

CHAPTER xi.
By Break of Day,

Still the depredations of maraudlng bands of Indians continued. Horses were stolen; more than once a settler at work in a field. far from help. was surprised and murdered; his body, found lying by his blow, always bear Ing a red scar upon the forehead. IA dignation ran higher and higher.
 David Larrence. who had enlisted as soon as he reached yincennes, 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 cut the image of 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 t4se woods; lone Iy. pathetically exposed to the unseen danger of the dark forest that over shadowed 1t.
 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- tipD hroka from hotb mon "Iker"
 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 father of foam on the heaving Hanks 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 like palsy! Oh, David, we must save heri''
 T will go," said David quietly. His face had become suddenly aged with suffering. 'Is 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 were 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 pecanoe. She is to be sold to the Brit ish at Maiden. They will take the trace on the east bank of the Wa bash"
 Ike tottered in sheer exhaustion. You must rest" said David. q shall start at daybreak" But Blackford shook his head. T go with you, David" he said sim ply. The two young men grippeG 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 strode over to the young men. Do you actually intend to fellow these Indiansr' he demanded.
 We shall set out at dawn," said Da- vid.
 Judge Parke looked at him in emaZement
 "Great Goo, Larrencew he ex- claimed, ''this is sheer madness
