Jerome saw reeds begin to shake in
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 Indian-and a moment
later a naked boy sprang from the
cane-brake and ran toward the block
house, with a bow and arrow In his
left hand and his right stretched
above his head, its pleading palm
still outward.
'Don't shoot don't nobody shoot :"
shouted the old man. No shot came
from the, fort, but from the woods
came yells of rage and as the boy
streaked through the clearing an ar
row whistled past his head.

"We won't, Dave"
Cow bells began to clang at the
edge of the forest.
"There they are" cried Polly. Come
on, Liddy." The young hunter entered
a door and within threw himself
across a rude bed, face down.
"Honor!" cried one of the old wom-
en-, "yOu so an git bucket O. water"
The whir stopped instantly, the girl
stepped with a sort Of slow majesty
from the cabin, and entering the next,
paused on the threshold as her eyes
caught the powerful figure stretched
on the bed and already in heavy sleep.
She felt the flush in her face and to
conceal it she turned her head angrily
when she came out. A few minutes
later she was at the spring and ladling
water into her pail with a gourd.
Near by the other two girls were milk
ing-each with her forehead against
the soft flank of a dun-colored COW
whose hoofs were stained with the
juice of wild strawberries. Honor
dipped lazily. When her bucket was
full she fell a-dreaming, and when the
girls were through with their task
they turned to find her with deep, un-
seeing eyes on the dark wilderness.

and then teasingly:
"Are you in love with Dave, too,
Honor?'

again angrily as Polly's hearty laugh
told her she had given herself away.
AS Honor turned abruptly for the fort,
a shot came from dhe woods followed
by a war-whoOp that stopped the
blood Shuddering in their veins.
"Oh, my GOd!" each cried, and
catching at their wet skirts they fed
in terror through the long grass.
They heard the quick commOtiOn in
the fort, heard sharp commands, cries
Of warning, frantic calls for them to
hurry, saw strained faces at the gates,
saw Dave Eound through and rush
toward them. And from the forest
there was nothing but It's silence until
that was again broken-this time by
a loud laugh-the laugh of white
man. Then at the edge of the wilder
ness appeared-the fool. Behind him
followed the other two who had gone
out that morning, one with a deer
swung about his shoulders, and all
could hear the oathS Of both as they
cursed the fool in front who had
given shot and war-whoop to frighten
women and make them run. The sickly
smile passed from the face of the fel-
low, shame took its place, and when
| he fronted the terrible eyes of old
Jerome Sanders at the gate, that face
| grew white with fear.
'Thar amt an Injun in a hundred

shrank down as though he were al

into spot of sunlight that quivered
on the buffalo trail hundred yards
deep in the forest and leaped lithely
aside into the bushes-both rifles had
missed. Deeper from the woods came
