CHAPTER XIV
Dawned 1871.

Dawned 1871.
The war was coming into Virginia at
last. Virginia falling would thrust a
great wedge through the center of the
cOnfederacy, feed the British armies
and end the fight. CORVALLIS was to
drive the wedge, and never had the
opening seemed easier. Virginia was
drained of her fighting men, and south
Of the mountains was protected only
by a militia, for the most part, of
old men and boys. North and south
ran despair. The soldiers had no pay,
little food, and only old wornout coats,
tattered linen overalls, and one blan-
ket between three men, to protect
them from drifting snow and icy wind.
Even the great Washington was near
despair, and in foreign help his sole
hope lay. Already the traitor, Arnold,
had taken Richmond, burned ware
houses, and returned, but little har-
assed, to Portsmouth.
CORVALLIS was coming on. Tarle-
toms white, rangers were bedeviling
the land, and it was at this time that
ErSkine Dale once more rode Firehy
to the river James.
The boy had been two years in the
wilds. When he left the Shawnee
camp winter was setting in, that ter
rible winter of '79-of deep snow and
hunger and cold. When he reached
Kaskaskia, Captain Clark had gone to
Kentucky, and Erskine found bad
news. Hamilton and Hay had taken
Vincennes. There Captain Helms Gre
oles, as soon as they saw the red
coats, slipped away from him to sur
render their arms to the British, and
thus deserted by all, he and the two
or three Americans with him had to
give up the fort. The French reswore
allegiance to Britain. Hamilton con-
fiscated their liquor and broke up their
billiard tables. He let his Indians
scatter to their villages, and with his
regulars, volunteers, white Indian
leaders and red auxiliaries went into
winter quarters. One band Of Shaw
nees he sent to Ohio to scout and
take scalpS In the settlements In the
spring he would sweep Kentucky and
destroy all the settlements west Of
the Alleghanies. So Erskine and Dave
went for Clark; and that trip neither
ever forgot. Storms had followed each
other since late November and the
snow lay deep. Cattle and horses
perished, deer and elk were found dead
in the woods and buffalo came at
nightfall to old Jerome Sanders fort
for food and companionship with his
starving herd. There was no salt or
vegetable food; nothing but the flesh
Of lean Wild game. Yet, while the
frontiersmen remained crowded in
the stockades and the men hunted and
the women made clothes of tanned
deer hides, buffalo-wool cloth, and net
tle-bark linen, and both followed 'nog-
gins" out of the knot of a tree, Clark
made his amazing march to Vim
cennes. recaptured it by the end Of
February, and sent Hamilton to Will
llamsbuyg a prisoner. Erskine pleaded

CHAPTER XIV

Erskine had given Black Wolf his
life, and the young brave had accept
ed the debt and fretted under it sore
ly. And when Erskine had begun to
show some heed to Early Morn a fierce
jealousy seized the savage, and his
old hatred was reborn q thousandfold
more strong-and that too, Erskine
now knew Meat ran low and hunt
ing party went abroad. Game was
scarce and only after the second day
was there a kill. Erskine had sight
ed huge buck, had fired quickly
and at close range. Wounded, the
buck had charged, Erskine's knife was
twisted in his belt, and the buck was
upon him before he could get 1t out.
He tried to dart for a tree, stumbled,
turned, and caught the infuriated
beast by the horns He uttered no
cry, but the angry below Of the stag
reached the ears of Black Wolf
through the woods, and he darted to-
ward the sound. And he came none
too soon. Erskine heard the crack of
a rife, the stag toppled over, and he
saw Black Wolf standing over him
with curiously triumphant look on
his saturnine facs In Erskine, when
he rose, the white man was predom-
inant, and he thrust out his hand, but
Black Wolf ignored it.
white Arrow gave Black Wolf his
life. The debt is paid.
Erskine looked at his enemy, nod

i'll We're Running This Town.

almost every day of the
week we hear someone say-Be-
lieve me if were running this
town I'd do so and so." Prob
ably half of the suggestions
might prove valuable and the
people who are running the
town would be glad to get them.
The plain truth of the matter
is that every citizen of the town
has or should have a hand in the
way the is operated. Far too
many of them feel that when
they have elected a mayor or
city council they have dispensed
with their full duty. Those peo-
pie are elected simply in order
that the will of the people may
be carried out-not in order that
the town may be run as a mere
handful of men dictate.
:'These men you have elected
do not claim to be all-wise in the
best methods of governing a
town. They are there to carry
out the wisest of the suggestions
they receive. Naturally when
they receive any they have to
fall back on their own ideas.
But they would be only too glad
to get ideas from every citizen,
so hereafter, instead of saying,
Believe me, if / were running
this town"-just realize that it
is part of your job to have q
hand in the running and tell the
right person.what you would do. I"

to be allowed to take him there, but
Clark would not let him go. Perma-
nent garrisons were placed at Vim
cennes and CahOkia, and at Kaskaskia.
Erskine stayed to help make peace
with the Indians, punish marauders
and hunting bands, so that by the
end of the year Clark might sit at
the falls of the Ohio as a shield for
the West and a sure, guarantee that
the whites would never be forced to
abandon wild Kentucky.
The two years in the wilderness
had left their mark on Erskine. He
was tall, lean, swarthy, gaunt, and
The Adair County news., 1922-09-12

yet he was not all woodsman, for
his born Inheritance as gentleman had
been more than emphasized by his as
sOciation with Clark and certain Gre
ole officers in the Northwest, who had
improved his French and gratihed one
pet wish Of his life since his last visit
to the James-they had taught him to
fence. His mother he had not seen
again, but he had learned that she
was alive and not yet blind. OF Early
Morn he had heard nothing at all.
Once a traveller had brought word of
Dane Grey. Grey was in Philadelphia
and prominent in the gay doings Of
that city. He had taken part in a
brilliant pageant called the "Mischi-
anza," which was staged by Andre,
and was reported a close friend OF
that Inflated young gentleman.
After the fight at Piqua, with Clark
Erskine put forth for old Jerome San
ders' fort. He found the hard days
of want over. There was not only
corn in plenty but wheat, potatoes.

both hands on her shoulders and
looked down into her eyes. She
trembled, and when his arms went
about her she surged closer to him
and the touch of her warm, supple
body went through him like fire. And

Sprang back.

ground, with his head in his hands.
