SYNOPSIS.-To the Kentucky
wilderness outpost commanded by
Jerome Sanders, in the time imme-
diately preceding the Revolution,
comes Il white boy fleeing from u
tribe Of Shawnees by whom he had
been captured and adopted as q son
of the chief Kahtoo. Ie is given
shelter and attracts the favorable
attention of Dave Yandell, u leader
among the settlers. The boy warns
his new friends Of the coming Of a
Shawnee war party. The fort Is
attacked, and only saved by the
timely appearance Of a party Of
Virglnians. The leader of these is
fatally wounded, but in his dying
moments recognizes the fugitive
youth as his son. At Red Oaks,
plantation OH the James river, Vir-
sinia, Colonel Dalc's home, the boy
appears with a message for the
colonel. who after reading 1t intro
duces the bearer to his daughter
barbara as her cousin, Ersiine
Dale Erskine meets two other
cousins. Harry Dale and Hugh Will
loughby. Dueling rapiers on q wall
at Red Oaks attract IGrsline's at
tention. He takes his first fencing
lesson from Hugh.

They saw the tall stranger stare

Dale, and to the wondering delight
OF the two boys both fathers seemed

with the stranger, and lie asked many
questions of the new land beyond the
mountains. There was dancing again
that night and The hunter, towering
head above them all, looked on with
smiling interest. He even took part
in Il square dance with Miss Jane Will
loughby, handling his great bulk with
astonishing grace and lightness of
