MoNDAY-THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS FEBRUARY Is, 1922.

understand 4 good many words in
English; SO that the big woodsman
pleced out his story with consid-
cradle accuracy.
The Indians had crossed the Big
River, were as many as the leaves,
and meant to attack the whites.
For the first time they had allowed
the boy to go on a war-party. Some
one had treated him badly-he
pointed out the bruises OF cuffs and
kicks on his body.
The Indians called him White
Arrow, and he knew he was white
from the girdle OF untanned skin
under his breechclout and because
the Indian boys tainted him.
Asked why he had come to the
fort, he pointed again to his bruises,
put both hands against his breast,
and stretched them wide as though
he would seek shelter in the arms
of his own race and take them to
his heart
Old Jerome and Dave and the
old men gathered in for a coun-
Gil Of war. The boy had made ii
plain that the attacking party was
two days behind the three Indians
from whom he had escaped, so that
there was no danger that day, and
| they could wait until night to send
messengers to warn the settlers
outside to seek safety within the
fort.
On the mighty wilderness the sun
sank slowly and old Jerome sent
runners to the outlying cabins to
warn the inmates to take refuge
within the fort There was no set
tier that was not accustomed to a

behind a bush Just at that mo-
ment there were yeils from the
woods behind-the yells of white
men that were answered by joyful
yells within the fort:
The virginians! The Virgin
IansI And as the rescuers dashed
INTO sight on horse and afoot, Dave
saw the lad leap the wall of the
stockade and disappear behind the
fleeing Indians
Gone back to EN-" he grunted
to himself The gates were thrown
open. Old jerome and his men
rushed out, and besieged and rescu-
ers poured all their fire after the
running Indians, some of whom
turned bravely to empty their rifles
once more.
cit in! Git in quick" yelled
old Joel He knew another yoIley
would come as soon as the Indians
reached the cover of thick woods,
and come the volley did
Three men fell-one the leader
Of the virginians, whose head
Topped forward as he entered the
gate and was caught in old Joel's
arms. Not another sound came
from the woods, but again Dave
from the tower saw the cane-brush
rustic at the edge of thicket, saw
| q hand thrust upward with the
palm Of peace toward the fort, and
again the stranger boy emerged
this time with a bloody scalp dan
Cling in his left hand
In the center of the enclosure
the wounded Virginian lay, and
when old Jerome stripped the shirt
from his breast he shook his head
gravely. The wounded man open

sssind him, three gruntings savages

An hour before a red fare rose
xithin the staked enclosure that
ras reared in the center OF a little

At either end of the stockade a

A girl climbing the rude ladder
to the tower stopped midway.
"Mornin', Davei'
"Mornin', Polly!"

she smiled.

humoring the jest
"Lyddy!" cried Polly, "bring

At the fire a tall girl rose, pushed
q mass of sunburned hair from
her heated forehead, and a flush
not from the fire fused with her
smile.

A voice vibrant with sarcasm
rose from one of the women about
the steaming kettle.

In a doorway near, third girl

"Honorl" cried the old woman

The two girls picked up piggin!

and then teasingly:

The girl REDEEMED.
As Honor turned abruptly fol
the fort, a shot came from the
woods followed by a war-whooI
that stopped the blood shudderine
in their veins.
"Oh. my God!" each cried, and
catching at their wet skirts they
fled in terror through the Ions

The wilds were quiet. The boy
pointed to them and held up three
fingers to indicate that there were
only three red men there, and
shook his head to say there would
be no attack from them.
Whats your name?" The boy
shook his head and looked eagerly
around.

shook his head-nobody there spoke

them to hurry, strained face at the

From watch-tower, too, a rife
had cracked. A naked savage had
bounded into a spot of sunlight
that quiVered on the buffalo trail a
hundred yards deep in the forest
and leaped lithely aside into the
bushes-both rifles had missed.
From the tower old Jerome saw
reeds begin to shake in a cane
brake to the left of the spring.
Look tharl" he called, and three
rifles, with his own, covered the
spot. A small brown arm was
thrust above the shaking reeds,
with the palm of the hand toward
the fort-the peace sign of the In

A moment later a naked boy
sprang from the cane-brake and
ran toward the blockhouse, with a
bow and arrow in his left hand

and as Dave opened the gates an
other arrow hurtled between the
