CHAPTER WI

Led by Dave, sometimes by the boy,
the four followed the course of rivers,
upward, always except when they de-
scended some mountain which they
had to cross, and then it was soon up
ward again. The two Virginia lads
found themselves, much to their cha
grin, as helpless as children, but they
were apt pupils and soon learned to
make fire with flint and even with
dry sticks of wood
Three days journeying brought
them to the broad, beautiful Holston
river, passing over the pine-crested,
white-rOcked summit, of Clinch noun
tain, and came to the last outlying fort
of the western frontier Next day they
started on the long, long wilderness
trail toward the Cumberland range.
On the third day therefrom the gray
wall of the Cumberland that ran with
frOwning inaccessibility on their right
gathered its flanks into steep gray
cliffs and dipped suddenly into Cum
berland gap. Up this they climbed.
On the summit they went into camp,
and next morning Dave swept long
arm toward the wild expanse to the
west.
-Four more days." he cried, "and
Wen be therew
The two boys looked with awe on
the limitless stretch of wooded wilds.
1t was still Virginia, to be sure, but
they felt that once they started down
they would be leaving their own be-
loved state for a strange land of un-
known beasts and red men who people
that dark and bloody ground" -,
Before sunrise next morning they
were dropping down the steep and
rocky trail. That night they slept
amid the rocky foothills of the range,
and next morning looked upon a vast
wilderness stretch of woods that un-
dulated to the gentle slopes of the
hills, and that night they were on the
edge of the bluegrass land.
Toward sunset Dave, through a
sixth sense, had the uneasy feeling
that he was not only being followed
but watched from the cliffs alongside,
and he observed that Erskine too had
more than once turned in his saddle
or lifted his eyes searchingly to the
shaggy fianks of the hills. Neither
spoke to the other, but that night
when the hoot of an owl raised Dave
from his blanket, Erskine too was up.
right with his rife in his hand. Fol-
half an hour they waited, and lay
down again, only to be awakened
again by the snort Of a horse, when
both sprang to their feet and crawled
out toward the sound But the heavy
silence lay unbroken and they brought
the horses closer to the fire.
,"Now / know it was Indians" said
Dave; that boss o. mine can smell
one further'n a rattlesnake." The boy
nodded and they took turns on watch
while the two boys slept on till day
light. The trail was broad enough
next morning for them to- ride two
abreast-Dave and Erskine in advance
They had scarcely gone a hundred

yards when an Indian stepped into the
path twenty yards ahead. Instructive
ly Dave threw his rifle up, but Erskine
caught his arm. The Indian had lifted
his hand-palm upward. Shawnee p
said the lad, as two more appeared
from the bushes. The eyes of the two
tidewater boys grew large, and both
clinched their guns convulsively. The
Indian spokesman paid no heed except
to Erskine-and only from the lads
face, in which surprise was succeeded
by sorrow and then deep thoughtful
ness, could they guess what the gut
tural speech meant, until Erskine
turned to them.
They were not on the war path
against the whites. he explained. His
ter-father-Kahtoo, the big chief,
the king-was very i'll, and his mes
sage, brought by them, was that Frs
kline should come back to the tribe and
become chief, as the chiefs only
daughter was dead and his only son
had been killed by the palefaces. They
knew that in the fight at the fort
Erskine had killed Shawnee, his tor
mentor, for they knew the arrow,
which Erskine had not had time to
withdraw. The dead Shawnee's
brother-C Crooked Lightning was with
them. He it was who had recognized
the boy the day before, and they had
kept him from killing Erskine from
the bushes. At that moment a gigan-
tic savage stepped from the brush.
The boys frame quivered, straight

they had hurried from the trail and
thrust him into hollow log, barring
the exit with stones, and had left him
for day and night.
On the seventh day he was nearing
the village, where the sick chief lay,
and when he caught sight of the tee
pees in little creek bottom, he fired
his rifle, and putting Firefy into a
gallOp and with right hand high, swept
into the village Several bucks had
caught up bow or rifle at the report
of the gun and the clatter of hoofs,
but their hands relaxed when they

The green of the wilderness duIled
and burst into the yellow of the buck
eye, the scarlet of maple and the rus
set of oak. This glory in turn dulled
and the leaves, like petals of withered
flowers, began to drift to the earth.
Through the shower of them went
Erskine and Firefy, who had become
as used to the wilds as to the smiling
banks of Nthe far-away James. And
the two now were one in mutual affec-
ton and a mutual understanding that
was uncanny.
The boy was the son Of king again,
and as such was on his way in answer
to the wish of a king. For food he
carried only little sack of salt, for
his rifle would bring him meat and
the forest would give him nuts and
fruit. When the sun was nearing its
highest, he ''barked" a squirrel from
the trunk of a beech; toward sunset
a fat pheasant fluttered from the
ground to low limb and he shot it's
head off and camped for the night.
On the second day he reached the
broad buffalo trail that led to the salt
licks and on to the river, and then
memories came. He remembered a
place where the Indians had camped
after they had captured himself and
his mother. In his mind was a faint
picture of her sitting against a tree
and weeping and of an Indian striking
her to make her stop and of himself
leaping at the savage like little Wild
cat, whereat the others laughed like
children. Farther on, next day, was
the spot where the Indians had sepa-
rated them and he saw his mother no
more. They told him that she had
been taken back to the whites. but he
was told later that they had killed
her because in their flight from the
whites she was holding them back too
much. Farther on was a spot where

But the perspective of the earth
