 Barbara shook her head.
 "You are going with us," she said.
 q want Hugh to ride with me-" said Colonel Dale. "and give Firefly little exercise. Nobody else eNcan ride him."
 The Kentucky boy turned chal- aenging eye, as did every young man at the table, and Hugh felt very com fortable. While every one was get ting ready, Harry brought out two foils and two masks on the porch little later.
 "We fight with those," he said, pointing to the crossed rapiers on the wall, but we practice with these. he said, "and he'll show you"
 Harry helped the Kentucky boy to mask and they crossed fOils-Hugh giving instructions all the time and nodding approval.

 Many questions the little girl asked and some of the boys answers made her shudder.
 Papa said last night that severa! of our kinsfOlk spoke of going to your country in a party, and Harry and Hugh are crazy to go with them. Papa said people would be swarming over the Cumberland mountains be- fore long,"
 q wish you'd come along."
 Barbara laughed.
 q wouldn't like to lose my hair."
 "Tll watch out for that" said the boy with such confident gravity that Barbara turned to look at him.
 q believe you would," she mur- mured. And presently:
 "What did the Indians call yOu?"
 "White Arrow"
 "White Arrow. That's lovely. WhyT'
