Damn you!" he ragged. and
wheeled neutrality-suspicious.. humor.
and caution quite gone-and they
fought now in deadly silence.
There was the sound of voices,
and it was evident that the game
had ended in a quarrel and the play
ers were coming up the river-bank
toward them. Erskine heard, but II
Grey did he at first gave no sign
he was too much concerned with the
death that faced him. Suddenly Frs
kline knew that Grey had heard, for
the fear in his face gave way to a
diabolic grin of triumph and he
dashed suddenly into defense-if he
could protect himself only a little
longer, Erskine had delayed the
finishing stroke too long and he
must make it now.
Grey gave way step by step-par-
rying only. The blades flashed like
tiny Its of lightning. Erskine's face,
grim and inexorable, brought the
sick fear back into Grey's, and Frs
kline saw his enemy's lips open.
He lunged then. his blad, went
true, sank to the hilt, and Grey's
warped soul started on its way with
n craven CIV lOI Itip. El Shiilt
sprang back into the shadows and
snatched his pistol from Ephraims
hand:'
Get out of the way now. Tell
them I did it,"
Once he looked back. He saw
Barbara at the hall-door with old
MANN. behind her. With a run
ming leap he vaulted the hedge. and,
hidden in the bushes, Ephraim
heard Firefy's hoofs beating ever
more family the sandy road.
Yorktown broke the British heart
and General Dale went home to
Red OK axis. He had pieced out the
fu1l story OF Barbara and Erskinc
and Dane Grey, and wisely he told
her first of Grey's dark treachery,
and the girl listened with Mortified
silence.

'and / understand you through my

YOU as my father did toward her."
The girl pressed her lips to II of
his hands.
IT think I'd better tell you the
whole story now" said General Dale
and he told OF Erskine's father. his
wildness and his wanderings his mar
riage and the capture of his wife
and the little son by the Indians, all
of which she knew, and the girl
wondered why he should be telling
her again. The general paused:
"You know Erskine's mother was
not killed. He found her." The girl
looked mp amazed and incredulous.
YES" he went on, the white wo-
man whom he found in the Indian
village was his mother"
