CHAPTER IX.

THE FOUR DKADLY

ARROWS.

After Red Wolf had wen the departure of hi* master, ou the evening when I bo loveru were to meet at the willows above the bend, he concluded that as the two caneea were likely to go aoiae distance up tho river, to work his way along the lxink, and keep as near them as possible, until the interview was begun.

With this motive, he started away at a lively pace. He soon met with such obstacles as prevented him from keeping sight of tho barks. Dense growths of bushes obstructed his way, and he lost sight of his companion, angi gave up tho effort.

Mo worked his way along deliberately, knowing that when young Clinton wanted him, he would be notitiod of the fact.

Frequent glancoH woro cast out upon the shimmering rivor, and presently Hod Wolf mopped nnd gazed at a moving object. was a canoe occupied by a man, but Lee Clinton was not tho personage.

A turn brought tho light skiff in line with tho moon's ray*, and Red Wolf muttered: "It is the Quick Kuuuor."

The thought of deception aha mischief at. once took possession of his mind. The cry of a female that be had heard gave strength to a suspicion that treachery was on foot.

Keening as closO to the bank as was possible, the Shawnee hastened on. five minutes passed, and then he saw the second canoe afloat, but empty.

The l«irk was out of his reach, bat he believed it to be the one his master had occupied but a little whilo before.

Ked Wolf did not know what to do. lie gave a low call, but no answer came buck to him, and thon he went a little further up tho bank.

Presently he stopped and listened. There was* a splash In the water near at hand. lie called again, and a low answer came. "Here, Red Wolf, here."

Tho voice t»mo from a little way out iu tho river, aud the Indian dropped his ritlo utul plunged in.

Ten fret out, and he saw tho head aud shoulder* of his master, who was cliitg-iugt-oabush. ,,

Ktnl Wolf caught the struggling form in hi* arms, and bore it to the bank. ••The villain nearly finished me, my friend," L«P said. "Had not tho tomahawk blow been a glancing one, it would have broken my skull.'

nearly so. The water revived me, and after coming up once, I dote and swam under water as long aa 1 could hold my breath, and oame up here well tucked out." "Is the brother stak?" "Will be all right in a Mile while. Red Wolf, and there Is work to be done." "At the Quick Ranner's cabi»r "We have no reason now lor being lenient. The trapper haa attempted to ttfca my life, and believes be has taken it, so he will not be on the lookout for ine. men my bead feels better we will plan,'*

A faint spell came over tbe wounded tneo, and Hed Wolf carried him to a dry and comfortable place, a little distance up the bank, and then drtwwrt tb« wound faster the red man's custom.

In an hour, Clinton felt stronger. The Shawnee carried water to him from tbe river in a largeclatn shell, and then gave him food from his provision bag.

While Elsie with bead protruding from the roof was listening to the conversation between Stephen Kendall and the four Elekapoos. Red Wolf was in the shadow of a tree dose by, bearing the same also.

As soon as the woodman had entered his domicile, the Shawnee glided back to Lee's hiding place and told what be had heard: "We must net disturb them now" the yoang hunter answered, "but they mnst not be allowed to carry the girl away. Evidently they do hot purpose to harm her, and 1 am glad that the discovery been made that the old devil of a trapper was not killed himself."

The two men went slyly up to a point as near the cabin door as Lee thought it advisable and then they stopped to await resmlts.

A light wandered through the bouse and at last was seen shining out from the port boles just beneath the eves. "They are searching for the girl," I«e said in a whisper, and just then he caught sight of female figure crouched beside the great chimney:

His heart bounded likeatrip hammer, but he kept quiet. Touching Red Wolf on the shoulder be pointed to the girl. "White Lily," the Shawnee whispered. "Yes, I believe it is the girl, and we must guard her. If a scalploek appears through the roof open it with an arrow."

At that moment the trapper oame out of the cabin and a minute later tbe Kickapooa followed.

They gathered together a little distance from tbe building, and Lee heard the conversation relative to the capture of tbe girl. "Not one of the red dogs must escape," Lee whispered.

Red Wolf brought up his bow and touched it significantly. "Yes, silent work."

Five minufes later the four Kickapoos were separated and circuiting the cabin in search of the girl, believing that she id" bad probably building.

Lee and his aid were on the alert. One after another of the savages with scarcely a groan bit the dust. Suddenly an object arose before one of them at a time aud at the aamo instant an arrow pierced the heart.

The four bodies were carried silently to the door and the warning card left there by Lee Clinton.

The feat had been a remarkable one. Silently slaying four foresters was more than the yonng hunter had really expected, and be caught the hand of Red Wolf and prossed it in gratitude, for to this pupil of Tecumseb tbe young lover owed the night'B victory

been laced, Clinton drew back to see if remained upon the roof of the cabin.

He hoped to find her still there, but was disappointed. No object but tbe grim old chimnev showed above the long shakes, which composed the roof.

A look of disappointment swept over tbe hunter's face. He was about to turn away and leave tho locality, when he felt a gentle touch upon his arm.

Turning, the object of his anxiety stood at his side. "Elsie, darling." i* "MyownLee."

Tho lovers were clasped in an embrace of true aud sacred affection.

CHAPTER X.

THE KORKST FOUNDLING.

"I thought vou were dead, Lee, that Kendall had "killed you," Elsie said after the lover had covered her face with pisses* "He attempted it, love, but lam worth a dozen dead men yet."

Worth any dozen living ones," Elsie added, and received another pressure that nearly toojc her breath away.

We will not dwell upon this happy meeting of the long separated lovers, as thev stood there that autumnal night beneath the stars, thore are other active scan04 ahead which must be recorded.

A short season of ecstasy and the good night was spoken reluctantly. A promise was made to meet again by daylight a few hours later.

ElsTo went to the corner of the cabin, and made her way silently up by means of the projei*ting logs until she reached the roof.

Sliding the shakes apart, as at time of exit, she dropped noiselessly into the loft, and

the apetture again.

She would have staid with Lee much longer, but did not feel it safe to do so. Kendall might be watching, and again Elsie was not certain as to tho condition of Minsi. If the Delaware was around the fact that Clinton was not dead would soon reaeh the ears of Trapper Stevo and then it would be war to tlie knife.

Elsie listened for sounds from below, but no evidence came to her that Kendall was active.

She laid down to rest, too happy to sleep, and thankful in her inmost soul that she had not sent the arrow or bullet into the villainous god-father.

Kendall was guilty of murder, so far as purpose was concerned, but as Lee was alive, she felt herself forgiving tbe crime and blesaiag the kind One who ruleth all thing*.

Lee Clinton stood and gased at tbe object of hia adoration until the girl disappeared from aight, and then finding Red Wolf he prepared for departure. "I muat equip myself," he said to the guide. "My lass of arms at the willows must be made good here. I notice that one of tbe dead .red men bore a fine rifle."

Young Clinton found tbe gun mentioned, and could scarcely refrain from acrv of joy upon seeing that the piece was* bis own rifle. "How can this Nr possible," he asked of tbe Shawnee. "There is no mistake, for here is my name upon the breech plate.** "Canoe float down the river, Kickapoo find tbe boat, aad find gun too,"

That was a clear solution, and satisfied the hunter. Tomahawk and knife, with ample supply of powder and balls, antde all the outfit Lee required, so he and the guide weut away into seclusion to rest until tbe coming of light.

Tbe morning dawned beautifuL The sky was clear and a cool btee» swept down the broad water course from the North.

the old brute everytime," he mentally ''Well^Iin-id®r •w-nlated "Things have ail gone wrong, Jrielaer, After thev had broken their fast, the and the very Old Nick is to pay." young hunter sent Red Wolf away again to watch Stephen Kendall and ®ee what had become of the Delaware dwarf.

Lee wanted him away, for it was about time for Elsie to come. Hie guide was not minutes gone, before tbe lover heard a gentle tread near at hand, and at tbe same moment a sunny face appeared amid the verdant ua-

^ilesp^lng to her and tbesecond meeting was aa sweet as the first. The hunter finally led the girl to a rustic seat, formed by the moss covered roots of a decayed tree, and throwing himself at her feet, told her the storjr of his work at Wheeling. The narration was a long and important one to the girl, but we will only give its substance.

He bad discovered tbe whole secret of hi« life. Fifteen yean before, an Englishman, a widower witfl two children, a girl of two and a bov of twelve, had come to Wheeling. The man's name was Blair. One year after their arrival, papers came from England stating that the grandfather of the children was dead and that he had left to each of them an annuity of two hundred pounds each in case of tbe death of one, the four hundred pounds was to go to the remaining one.

The bov, thea but thirteen, laid a plan for the removal of his little sister. He found a voung Delaware dwarr and by some inducement prevailed upon the savage to steal the child and carry it far away beyond the great woods, and prevent its return. He alao employed a half reformed renegade, Cyrus Fielder, to see thst the Indian was faithful to the trust.

Mr. Blair indulged the youth, not knowingjof the boy's crime, and after the loss of his girl, was beyond the hope of recovery, bestowed all tne monev upon the bov that he could use, and put

the balance away for safe keeping. Search was instituted and continued for a long time, and as bad luck would have it, Mr. Blair employed Cyrus Fielder to conduct the work, and that man at length brought back word that the babe had died at a Seneca camp. Other testimony went to prove that a white child had aied there, as Fielder claimed, so the matter waa considered settled.

Eight years later the father died, leaving the son of age, and with au income of two thousand a year, which was considered a large fortune at that day.

Paul Blair did not wish for his sister's death, and he kept track of her in the cabin home for years, Cyrus* Fielder carrying money to Stephen Kendall annually to keep him discreeat.

Some way it got to the ears of the brother that Lee Clinton had fallen in love with the Waif of the WTabaah and was likely to marry her and brine her back to his home at Wheeling, ana the trusty mosseager, Fielder, was dispatched at once.

Lee also found out that tho brother Paul had sent papers in an iron box to Stephen Kendall for safe keeping, and that in case of his, Paul's, death the box was to be given to the girl, and she returned to civilisation.

Thus matters stood and Lee Clintou weut back to the Wabash determined to have not only the girl, but that iron box.

Elsie was not moved by tbe story of her parentage. She remembered nothing of her Wheeling home, and cared nothing for the unnatural brother. As tq the money, if it would make Lee more comfortable and happy, she Vould bo glad. "We must get that box and away, my love," Lee said, after conclvK||ng his stury. "1 never saw it or heard of ftj" Elsie answered. "Then we must force the bear into confession aud delivery." "A hard thing to do." "Then frighten him."

Tho thought was a good one. At once the idea of the ghost of the Wabash victim suggested itself to Elsie, and the plans were laid accordingly.

Elsie was to draw the bullets from the trapper's rifles and hide his other weapons, to carry a sheet oat to a certain spot for the spectre, and to make a sulphur fire in her ©wn room at tho time of the appearance of the ghost.

Before they had completed all of their plans, Red Wolf eamo oack, and told of the conversation that lisd taken place between Trapper Steve and MitisL "Then there is apart for Red Wolf to perform," I^ee said. "He will take eare of the dwarf, and the chief obstacle is removed by this new arrangement, aa I can enter the cabin in place of the Delaware.

After all tbe plana for action had been arranged, Elsie hastened home, and founathat Kendall had reached the cabin a little before herself.

As soon aa opportunity afforded, the girl repeated Lee's story to Jber mother and then gave all the plans for the night's work.

Of course there was /ready approval, and a prayer that the effort might be successful.

An affectionate goqd by was taken between the god-moth# and ward, while the cabin owner was at work out of doors, for Elsie was fly that night with her l(*ver, and the two might never meet andn.

The bullets was takex) from Kendall'a gun's to render them harmless, and Elsie retired to her room.

"That girl is worse than a cabin full of wild eats to manage." "Ugly?" "Not naturally but you see I put that Clinton out of the way, she found it out, and there haa been fire and brimstone ever aince." "You did put Clinton out of the way?" "Yea made a sure thing of it* Tomahawked him and then aunk hi so in the Wabash." "Sure." "I swear it, by my life." "Steve Kendall, you are lying! ipper set th in a twinkling of the eye.

The trapper set the hammer of hl£ guri

Drop it." The words fell from the newcomer's lip*. He wa8 too quick for the cabin owner, and had the muzzle of his gun at the trapper's breast.

Kendall lowered hia hands, and let the hammer down gently. "Now hear me. I say you are lying, for I saw Lee Clinton this very day, not four hours ago, in company with the girl aud Red Wolf, the guide.

Kendall opaned his eyes in astonishment. "Then the ghost at the cabin, last night," he thought to himaelf, "was flesh and blood." "I believed I killed him," was the answer. "Your astonishment indicates that you believed him dead," Fielder said, in a changed voice, "but you didn't make a aure thing of it." "I cannot aocount for it. I gave him a blow sufficiently hard to have felled an ox, and then watched the water where he sank, until be came up no more." "What you thought and what exists are entirely different. The man is now pushing for Wheeling with the girl, and muat be stopped."

Kendall thought of the box that he had delivered to the llvipg ghost, but he concluded not to mention that matter to Fielder, for it would doubtles8 eniiage him. "What is to be done?" the trapper asked. "Done? All earth must be moved to stop tbe runaway coupld. There is gold to pay for the work, and besides, we must net be thwarted, in our plans." "Wo cannot take them alene." "There are Kickapoos down on the Honey Creek." 'Twill not do for me to go thore," .Fielder," and he told the story of the *our* "Tell them that Lee Clinton and Red Wolf killed the bravea of their tribe, and thon they will go freely enough." "It will be the truth," the trapper answered, slowly, "and I will go at once." "Get ponies or horses for three extra. Minsi must go, and all must go mounted, for the fugitives are as fleet oa foot as ourselves."

The renegade had been on a leng tramp, and the last four hours of extra speed had well tired him. so he concluded to rest until the return of Kendall.

He stayed for half an hour upon the bluff, ana then wandered down to the forest cabin.

Although tho day was hot, he found the door of the house shut, and tho windows closed.

Aloud rap fell upon the door, but it brought no response.' He pulled at the latch-string, and pressed against the heavy planks, but there was no yielding to his iorce. "Ahem," muttered the man "Madam was hero when I inquired for Steve, less than an hour ago, and ballovathe vixen Is here now, but don't wan't to see me."

He strolled a ahort distance away, and sat down upon a log to await the arrival of the expected party from Honey Crcok

He li*d not been there long before he saw the shutter taken down from tbe inuerside of the window, and the face of Mrs. Kendall appear there.

Cyrus Fielder felt his pride insulted. "The jade who has lived for the paat dozen years on tho gold I have brought, has now turned up her nose at mo but, by the Eternal, I'll turn it down again,', he growled. "She's taken up for the girl, and will prove a dangerous creature. I'll fix Steve, nnd fix nim so that she'll suffer for it."

Four hours after the departure of the trapper from the bluff, ho came back leading a party of six mounted Kickapoos and three extra horaes. He had soon aroused the ire of the idle savages into a boiling, furious rage.

There was a call for vengeance, and every available horse was brought into use at once. asked and

Kendall rode some distance away from the company and gave a signal call, which was soon answered by the presence of the Delaware dwarf.

All was ready then for a start—all excepting a little preparation, on tbe part of the woodman, at tbe cabin.

Eight of the party rode away upon the trail. Trapper Steve was to follow. When he reached the door of the little log bouse be waa met by Mrs. Kendall, who had such a look of mingled sadness upon her face as to make the trapper start back in surprise. "Stephen," ahe said, with compressed Hps and glowlDg eyes, "is that bloodthirsty gang going after our child?"

Tbe man was staggered, but he rallied and answered: "We are going after the thief who has stolen Elsie from us." "Stephen, I have lived in silent submisaiun to your wicked plottings and deeds long enough. Tbe mask must fall, and you stand in the light that reveals your nature."

Kendall held up his hand, but the matron bent upon nim a look of anger and hatred, and continued: "Elsie is a stolen child yen keep her from her rights for gold vou attempted deliberate murder for gold you would kill the innocent girl of your own hearthstone for gold} you are the incarnation of the very spirit of evil, and the hour has come when this murderous treachery most end. If you go after Elsie with that gang of blood-hounds, you go to your doom. Sot one of that party will be taken alive, and I will band you over to the forces of Governor Harrison, and see that you are shot according to tbe military rules. ••I swear this, Stephen Kendall—I swear it by the Heaven above me.
