shoulders OF the crowd ana amidst
shouts of applause borne around the
courthouse green. He had seen the
same Henry ride into Richmond two
years later on a lean horse with pa
pers in his saddle-pOckets, his ex-
preston grim, his tall figure stOOp-
ing, peculiar twinkle in his small
der his coat peach-blossOm in color,
his knee-breecheS of leather, and his
stockings of yarn. The speaker of
the BurgeSses was on daiS under
a red canopy supported by gilded rods,
and the clerk sat beneath with a
mace on the table before him, but
Henry cried for liberty or death, and
the shouts of treason failed then and
there to save Virginia for the king.
The lads brain whirIed. What did
all this mean? Who was this king and
what had he done? He had known
but the one from whom he had run
away. When he got Dave alone he
would learn and learn and learn
everything. And then the young
people came quietly in and sat down
quietly, and Colonel Dale, divining
what they wanted, got Dave started
on stories of the wild wilderness that
was his home-the first chapter in the
Iliad of Kentucky-the land of dark
forests and cane thickets that sepa-
rated Catawbas, Creeks and CherO-
KEGS on the south from DelawareS,
Wyandottes and Shawnees on the
north, who fought one another, and
all of whom the whites must fight.
How the first fort was built, and the
first women stood on the banks of the
Kentucky river. He told of the perils
and hardships of the first journeys
thither-fights with wild beasts and
wild men, chases, hand-to-hand COM
bats, escapes and massacres = and
only the breathing of his listeners
could be heard. save the sound of his
own voice. And he came finally to
the story of the attack on the fort,
the raising of small hand above the
cane, palm outward, and the swift
dash of a slender broN1 body into the
fort, and then, seems the borg face

Harry looked at him searchingly,
hut the boys face gave hint of no
more purpose than when he first asked
the same question.
"All right" said Harry.
The lad blew out his candle, but he
went to his window instead of his bed.
The moonlight was brilliant among
die trees and on the sleeping flowers
and the slow run of the broad river,
and it was very still out there and
very lovely, but he had no wish to
be out there. With wind and storm
and sun, moon and stars, he had lived
face to face all his life, but here they
were not the same. Trees, flowers,
house, people had reared some wall
between him and them, and they
seemed now to be very far away.
Everybody had been kind to him-all
but Hugh. Yelled hostility he had
never known before and he could not
understand. Everybody had surely
been kind, and yet-he turned to his
bed, and all night his brain was fash
Ing to and fro between the reel of
vivid pictures etched on it in a day

and out the still open front door and
down the path toward the river. In

bUilet-pouch and pOwder-horn. An
hour later he loped back on his own
tracks.
At the front door Harry hailed him
and Barbara came running out.

on, and slipped back with the bloody
scalp of his enemy, but ended with
the timely coming of the Virginians,
led by the lads father, who got his
death-wound at the very gate. The
tense breathing of his listeners cul-
minated now in one general deep
breath.
Colonel Dale rose and turned to
General WilIOughby.
"And that's where he wants to take
our boys
ooh, it's much safer now" said the
hunter. eve have had no trouble for
some time, and there's no danger In
side the fort"
81 can imagine you keeping those
boys inside the fort when there's so
much going on outside. Still"
Colonel Dale stopped and the two
boys took heart again.
Colonel Dale escorted the boy and
Dave to their room. Mr.. Yandell must
go with them to the fair at Williams
burg next morning, and Mr.. Yandell
would go gladly. They would spend
the night there and go to the COVER
nOr's ball. The next day there was a
county fair, and perhaps Mr.. Henry
would speak again. Then Mr.. Yandell
must come back with them to Red
Oaks and pay them a visit-no, the
colonel would accept no excuse what
ever.
The boy piled Dave with questions
about the people in the wilderness and
passed to sleep. Dave lay awake a
long time thinking that war was sure
to come. They were Americans now,
said Colonel Dale NOT Virginians,
just as nearly a century later the
same people were 90 say:

are Virginians."

Then Hugh came in pale of face
and looking rather ashamed. He went
straight to the Kentu6lian.

owe you an apology"
He thrust out his hand and awk-
wardly the boy rose and took it.
"And you'll forgive me, too, Bar
bara?"
~tOf course WILL" she said happily,
but holding up one finger of warn
lnE-should he ever do it again. The
rest of the guests trooped in now,
and some were going out on horse

ing up the river in a barge, and all
were paired off.

Colonel Dale, too, was greatly taken
with the stranger, and he asked many
questions of the new land beyond the
mountains. There was dancing again
that night, and the hunter, towering
a head above them all, looked on with
smiling interest. He even took part
in square dance with Miss Jane Will
lOughby, handling his great bulk with
astonishing grace and lightness of
foot. Then the elder gentlemen went
into the drawing-rOom to their port
and pipes, and the boy Erskine slipped
after them and listened enthralled to
the talk of the coming war.
