ming:
Crooked Lightning shall go or
stay, as he pleases. Black Wolf
shall stay, for the tribe will need
him as a hunter and a warrior
against the English foes of the
Long Knives
The braves grunted approval.
Black Wolf and Crooked Lightning
averted their faces and the proph-
ct shambled uneasily away.
Again old Kahtoo proclaimed
generously, 1T is WELT" and went
back to his tent There he sank
YEARLY on a buffaIo-skin and plead
with the boy to stay with them as
chief in his stead He was very
old, and now that peace was made
he was willing to die. If Erskine
would but give his promise. he
would never rise again from where
he lay.
Erskine shook his head and the
old man sorrowfully-turned his
face.
-
And yet Erskine fingered on and
on at the village.
OF the white woman he had
learned little other than that she
had been brought from another
tribe and adopted by old Kahtoo;
but it was plain that since the
threatened burning of her she had
been held in high respect by the
whole tribe.
He had never talked with her,
but he never moved about the camp
that he did not feel her eyes upon
him And Early Morn's big soft
eyes, too, never seemed to leave
him She brought him food, she
sat at the door of his tent, she fol-
lowed him about the village and
bore herself openly as his slave.
At last old Kahtoo, who would
not give up his great hope, plead
with him to marry her, and while
he was talking the girl stood at
the door of the tent and interrupt
ed them Her mothers eyes were
growing dim, she said. Her mother
wanted to talk with White Arrow
and look upon his face before her
sight should altogether pass.
/ Nor could Erskine know that the
| white woman wanted to look into
| the eyes of the man she hoped
would become hire daughters hus-
| band, but Kahtoo did. and he babe

Moreover, Erskine's stubbornness
grew, and he began to flame within
at the stalking insolence OF Black
Wolf, who continued to seek the
hand OF Early Morn
One day In the open village the
clash came Black Wolf darted
forth from his wigwam. his eyes
bloodshot with rage and drink. and
his hunting-knife in his hand.
A cry from Early Morn warned
Erskine and he wheeled AS Black
Wolf made a vicious slash at him
he sprang aside, and with his fist
caught the savage on the jaw.
Black Wolf fell heavily and Err
skine was upon him with his own
knife at his enemy's throat
stop theml" old Kahtoo cried
sternly, but it was the terrified
shrek OF the white woman that
stayed Erskine's hand Two young
braves disarmed the fallen Indian.
and Kahtoo looked inquiringly at
his adopted SON
Turn him Ioose," Erskine
scorned. "I have no fear OF him
Next time 1 shall kill him"
The white woman had run down,
caught Early Morn, and was lead
ing her back to her tent From in
side presently came low. passion
ate pleading from the woman and
an occasional sob from the girl.
An hour later at dusk, Erskine
turned upward toward the tent. the
girl gave a Mortified cry. flashed
from the tent, and darted for the
high cliff over the river.

Bewildered and dazed. the boy rose
and awkwardly put out his hand
Kiss me goo6by." She put her
arms about his neck, and for the
first time in his life the boys lips
met a woman's. For moment she
put her face against his and at his
ear was a whisper.
"Good-by, Erskine," And she was
-swiftly-leaving the boy in a
dizzy world of falling stars through
which a white light leaped to
heights his soul had never dreamed.

Dave YandeIl and Erskine Dale.
During the months Kashaskie
fell, then Vincennes passed into
the hands of the Americans and
there came one morning when Err
skine went forth at dawn, and his
coming into the Shawnee camp was
like the coming of a king. Early
Morn greeted him with glowing
eyes, his foster-mother brought him
food, looking proudly upon him,
and old Kahtoo harangued his
braves around the council-poIe.
MY son spoke words of truth, -
he proclaimed generously. HE
warned US against the king over
the waters and told US to make
friends with the Americans. My
son is the true prophet Bring out
the false one and Crooked Light
ming and Black Wolf, whose life
my son saved though the two were
enemies. My son shall do with
them as he pleases.
Many young braves sprang will
ingly forward and the three were
hailed before Erskine.
Erskine rose and fixed his eyes
sternly on the covering prophet:

to the white womans tent She
sat just inside the opening. with a
blanket across the lower half OF her
face. She piled him with ques-
tons. and listened eagerly TO
his every word, and drew from him
every detail OF his life as far back
as he could remember
Poor soul, it was the first oppor-

to talk with any white person who

delicacy made him understand.
She, too, had been captured with a
son who would have been about
Erskine's age, but her boy and her
husband had been killed. She had
been made a slave and-now she
drew the blanket across her eyes
after the birth of her daughter she
felt she could never go back to her
own people.
She loved her daughter; she
would not subject her or herself to
humiliation among the whites, and,
anyhow, there was no one to whom
she could go. Her concern was
with her daughter-what would be-
