CHAPTER XIII

With the head of that column of
stalwart backwoodsmen went Dave
Yandell and Erskine Dale. A hunting
party of four Shawnees heard their
coming through the woods, and, lying
like snakes in the underground, peered
out and saw them pass. Then they
rose, and Crooked Lightning looked
at Black Wolf and. with a grunt of
angry satisfaction. led the way home

the news that White Arrow had made
good his word and, side by side with
the big chief Of the Long Knives, was
leading a war party against his tribe
and kinsmen. And Early Morn car

sick in wigwam.

smile was unchanged

sternly, you dance under Virginia and

There was great noise behind him.

Gold Production In Russia.

The Russian trade delegation reports
that Siberia produced during the first
four months of the present year over
16 pools (36.1 pound per pood) of gold
according to the Engineering and Mill
ing Journal-Press of New York. This
quantity is five times greater than the
total output for 1921. Gold is worth ap-
proximately s10,SOO per pood so that
the total value is SIT, 500 or at. an an
nual rate Of only little more than
100000. This compares with a pro-
duction of $22.OOO,OOO in 1915 since
which time the output has fallen stead
lily until this slight revival. The gold
syndicate has succeeded in restarting
the gold mines at Elisatevinsk. Alevan-
drovsk. Ivanovsk and Youthnotaiginsk,
which Will insure an output Of not less
than three pools monthly.

Clark insisted that two of the prison

two selected came forward Erskine

Crooked Lightning saw the big chief
with his hand on Erskines shoulder

tell them TO depart. And thus peace
was won.

an important event in the history of

the helpless English masses advanced
slowly and hestatingly, and permitted
themselves to be held back for some
days by the cavalry corps of Won der

the force of General Joffre's counter
attacks was considerably lessened. and
the First German Army. which at the
beginning seemed to be in serious
danger, was much relieved. AS early
