INTRODUCTORY

The frontier Of the United States IL
now represented only by a coast line.
yet every portion Of the country was
once frontier. In the early centuries
OF It's history the frontier moved west
ward very slowly; during the past one
hundred years It has moved with q
rapidity never noted before In the his
tory of any nation.
One Of the most interesting Ameri-
can frontiers was that represented by
line beginning at the southern end OF
Lake Michigan and extending south
ward. taking in that stream celebrated
in song and story, the Wabash. In the
early days the river had its sycamores
and other woodlands, but candle lights
CLEANED at widely separated intervals
and there was not SO much of the scent
OF new-mown hay as in thnt later
period which inspired the song writer.
But II these attributes Of civilization
were lacking the river had phase Of
life that probably was as romantic as
anything encountered in any other
part of the country. namely, the pearl
fishing. This pursuit brought to it's
shores q breed Of adventurous mon
who were as rough and hardy as any
who went to the gold diggings of the
West
David Anderson, a native Of the Wa
both natural and that pertaining to
humans. better than any other Indiana
writer. celebrated the pearl fishers In
g. former story. In the present narra-
tive he takes up the account at about
the time when the pearl industry be-
gan to wane and the river valley to
attract more permanent settlers. How
ever, the impress Of the pearl hunters
remains and many Of tho settlers who
came to farm, trap or practice other
pursuits were in themselves fearless
breed-dangerous men in some In
stances, violent men, chivalric men,
men who had that conquering instinct
found in It's strongest exhibition in the
pioneers.
Here IL presented natural scenery
with brush OF many colors and 3
neighborhood drama az thrilling and
emotional as any section OF our cour-
Ny ever produced One cannot help
linking that the Forties and early
les, along the Wabash, constituted
\riod that was everything the pulls
Ing blood Of adventure could desire.

She was just in time to see him reach

the fence and vault over into the barn

men in the Flatwoods could have made
that leap.

A shadow subdued the bold frank

draws across fair field; he gazed
hard at the wind-staggsred skeleton
Of the unfinished farmhouse.

Of approaching sunset, found the girl
upon the rock, her plant body softly
outlined against the silver-green back

CHAPTER l
The Bound Boy.

A girl came out Of the back yard Of
a red-roofed cottage at the upstream
edge Of Buckeye, passed around q
rather tastefully built barn, with its
fanking cribs and pens crossed the
fallow pasture lot in a corner Of which
Il stood, climbed the fence and picked
her way up the face Of the cliffs that
roughly walled the village on three
sides, until she stood at last among
the Jagged and broken pinnacles at
the top OF Black rock, lighter speck
against the gray green background Of
the Fatwoods.
Away beyond the bend where the
placid Wabash lost itself among the
hills the sun crawled toward the rim
Of the West. Pendant above the dis
tant timber line its round splendor,
FURNISHED bright by the wonder Of
May, turned lingering glance at the
serene world
But the girl was not watching the
sunset The splendor Of the wide
spread landscape at her feet was lost
on her.
Crawling out from under the sunset,
halving the village and winding away
up the river between cliff and bottom.
ran the River road, the one slim
artery that connected Buckeye with
thA great world outside the Vlatwoods.
The girls eyes were on the road
Far up the river-twenty miles Of
gravel and gray sand-it led to the
city. On clear days she had some
times made out the hazy wilderness Of
its roofs and spires-the gateway Of
another world--a world that the er-
rant fancies Of girlhood peopled with
many wonder.
Seven years ago to a day she had
stood there and watched the Milford
stage carry her brother away to the
end Of that road-through the dim
spired gateway and out into the great
world beyond The East-it swallows
up many q man Of the West It had
swallowed her brother up. 1t never
gave him bach.
The eyes, grown pensive, turned
slowly to the outstanding pinnacle Of
sandstone polished smooth by thou
sand winds. alive in the bronze glow
that struck up from the distant rifle
Three names had been rudely carved
there, one above the other, so long ago
that storm and frost had begun to OBJ
literate them.
The girl picked up piece Of ragged
shale and with sharp corner scraped
clean each knife stroke, till the three
nannee stood out clear as the day they
wS 6ryt carved there:
KEN
TEXIH
JACK
She dropped the piece Of shale |:
thoughtfully passed her fingers over
the names and glanced down at the
foot Of the outstanding pinnacle. In
a sheltered pocket Of the great rock,
where only the tempered rays Of the
sun could strike it. lay tiny bed Of
leaf mold set with clumps Of yellow
orchids not yet abloom-"lady siip-
pers." in the quaint and expressive
vernacular Of the Wabash country
that had doubtless been transplanted
from the dsep woods.

backed away a step and stood study
ing her.

He puzzled to find the answer she
doubtless had in mind; fnslly ven

Tuesday, May 10th, 1S49."
She fiared around at him. "YOu
know that amt what I mean"
The girl pointed to the carved
names on the monolith Of sandstone
He followed the notion; stepped past
her and ran his hand over the three
names, lingering an instant over the
middle one.
"Pore Ken" he muttered, '-he
could "a ben anything he wanted TO-
almost"
The girls eyes fiinched and turned
back to the dim frayed end Of the
road; the man stood silent.
Seven years ago t'day," she mused
''you and me stood up here on Black
rock and watched the Milford stage

and out in the big world t. college
and then we-cut them names"
She paused. He seemed to feel that
an answer was expected Of him, but
made none.
'Two years we got letters-wonder.

f'rgot how we use t. come up here

spoke more to herself than to him.

ever heard"
1t Is curious and interesting how
some Of the greatest names Of the
Anglo-Saxon race have lodged, like
river drift, along the byways and wa.
terways Of what was once the grea,
American woods.

Flatwoods that seventy years ago
stretched for many an unbroken mile
along the north bank Of the upper
Wabash
The man swept a hand toward the
distant end of the road. The girl
glanced at him.
''Ten more days"-there was a
strained firmness in his voice, as II
what he was about to say came hard
to him-"and I'm ridin' out yonder
m'self."
He felt her eyes upon him.
Ten MORE" he went on. "This Is
the tenth Of May. When it's the
twentieth, I'll be twenty-one-and
free. Ten more-I ben countln' EN-.
A deep seriousness clouded his
face; he stared down at the warped
skeleton Of the unfinished farmhouse.
The girl fumbled the bit Of ribbon at
her waist.

vent on. "B' fore it could come true, the
Seminoles bolted their reservation and

and went on. Mother never saw a
