CHAPTER X The Long Trail Ends It was thirteen days after the bat ttle that Dunbar the Tardy arrived at Fort Cumberland on Will’s creek with three hundred wounded soldiers. It Is impossible to picture the amaze went and consternation that smotb «ered the colonies when it was definitely known that the army had been de seated and broken. There had been no concern in rite public mind as to the outcome of the campaign. The first uncertain news was re ceived by Colonel James Innes, com mander at Fort Cumberland. This was on July eleventh, two days aftei the battle. He Immediately started •expresses to the neighboring provinces to announce his grave fear that the army had met with reverses. While these messengers were carrying the astounding news the wagoners, who had first tied the bloody field, were beginning to reach the outlying settle nieuts. Governor Morris was at Car lisle when a half-starved, half-mad wagoner flogged his exhausted mount into the settlement and began crying ■out that Braddock had been defeated, that the entire army had been anni hiiated. and that he. the wagoner, was •the only survivor. The provinces were On ■the sixteenth another messenger ■brought further details. General Braddock was dead and had been buried at Great Meadows on the fourteenth and the army and 4 had passed over his grave to hide It from the savages. On the day this man brought his dismal budget. Governor Morris sent out a call for the assembly to meet him tn Philadelphia ■on the twenty-third, so as to perrnitDunbar to take the offensive and prevent the triumphant enemy from over . running our frontiers and from bring Ing the ax to the eastern settlements Dunbar promptly announced his de •termination to be dime with forest fighting; and he marched his twelve hundred soldiers to Philadelphia and left three hundred wounded men at Wilis creek. His army went Into ■camp on Society hili, and in vain did ■Governor Morris urge him to send a tew men to patrol the Susquehanna Enough refugees came In to swell the army Jo fifteen hundred, and without rinsing his hand to protect the border Dunbar the Tardy sailed with this force for New York tn October. Stupefaction was replaced by dismay as this, rhe only fighting force In the south, war withdrawn. In very truth were the colonies aroused to the realization that they must protect themselves by doing their own fighting. and no longer depend upon overseas armies. Once Dunbar’s Intentions to withdraw from the province became known. Governor Dinwiddie urged Pennsylvania and Maryland to unite with Virginia. tn building a strong fort at the Great crossing or on Great Meadows. This wise plan for protecting the border came to nothing because of the colonies’ Inability to overcome factional jealous les and to agree as to the division of ♦he expense. labor and the like. So we drifted into three years of rapine and slaughter. I reached Carlisle the day after Governor Morris started for Philadel phia My wounds, aggravated by ex posure, forced me to travel slowly; and my efforts to find some trace of the Dlnwoid girl permitted many sur•vivors to pass me. Mine was old news when I did arrive. In Carlisle I fell in with three rangers who mt oft from the ford when the final rout filled the narrow road. They were forced to advance north, or close to Duquesne, to escape the savages They thad concealed themselves tn the woods near the Allegheny, and from what they had observed I learned how five hundred of Pontiac’s Ottawas had ■quarreled with the French over the division of the booty, and had thrown back the ax and had killed and scalped two Frenchmen very close to the spot where my informants were hiding. I recovered from my wounds and became active in preparing a defense against the red swarms we knew would soon be upon us. As rapidly as possible a string of forts was built from the Delaware and Susquehanna to the Potomac. There were Fort Bedford at Hea’s Town. Fort Ligonia on the site of the old Indian town of Loyal Hanna in Westmoreland coun ty. Fort Loudon at the foot of Blue mountain. Fort Lowther at Carlisle and chambers’ fort a few miles west of that town And there were other forts, as well as numerous small blockhouses, erected during the next three years. For two months after the battle of the* Monongahela we worked feverishly, taking advantage of the brief period the Indians required to convince themselves that the war path to the east was unobstructed. Then the storm began to break. The first blow struck by the raiders was in Cumberland county, and soon the ax was taking toll on the Susque hanna. A large body of Indians camped thirty miles above Harris ferry and killed on both sides of the rivtS 1 . in October a mixed force o' French and Indians was burning ano scalping within forty miles of the ferry Settlers were frantically flee Ing to the east, or doggedly fortlng themselves on learning that escape was cut off. I went out with forty five men from the ferry and helped bury fourteen mangled bodies. Great cove was destroyed. ’ By lM*cemt»er, the Indians were on the Lehigh behind the Blue moun tains. Where they killed a hundreo people ami burned many cabins. Beth teteru prepared to resist an attack 41 , • ■ he same time another banu

penetrated to the Schuylkill in Berks county and did devil’s work. For fifty miles around Easton the country was " devastated. So widespread were the activities of the savages that hun- [ deeds of people fled Into the Jerseys. , some carrying their household goods ( and driving their cattle; others vainly offering half of all they possessed In an effort to save something. " W was a characteristic of this unequal fighting that the Indians took i but few prisoners. Thirty-six houses , and the church at Gnadenhutten were burned, although Lieutenant Brown and a company of rangers sorted themselves in the church and held It until it was fired. The Juniata was visited early in January and manv people were murdered within two or three miles of Fort Patterson Even the back districts of Chester and Philadelphia counties were en dangered. and four fihndred German farmers from the latter county marched into Philadelphia city and demanded that the assembly grant them some protection. These settlers should have remembered how men of their race defeated Joseph Seely Berks county candidate for sheriff, in the October election, because he favored iniJßary training. Througfmut the winter, the savages continued very active, which was un usual, as during the snow months the frontier always had Experienced a relief from attacks and.had slept sound ly. The woods fronr*the Juniata to Shamokin were tiUed with ferocious red men. who kffled and burned. In the latter part of the month a bun , dred Indians includ lug not a few been loyal to England until the defeat on the Mon ongahela. left to raid the Coocoche ague settlements and forts Shirley and Littleton. I was one of those who rode ahead to spread the alarm, and I experienced enough thrills to list me several lifetimes. And so the bloody story might go on through volumes. Settlements In flames and the rough roads crowded with terrified families. Scarcely a night could one scan the horizons and dot see the red flares that told of some cabin or hamlet being wiped out. Not until Gen John Forbes’ expedition in the sumpier of 1758. when he marched to Duquesne with fifty eight hundred men and a thousand wagons, did we begin to have a rest from the butcheries But General Forbes would have nothing to do with the ill-fated Braddock road and wisely followed the central path through Carlisle. Shippensburg, and over Laurel mountain. The long rifles were proving their worth and were soon to take Canada from the French During all this strife and these miserable scenes. I endeavored to do my share in exacting a penalty from the red men. For two weeks I worked with Captain Jack, the Black Hunter of the Juniata. But when that river was harried he became such a mad ; man and would take such foolhardv risks that I left his band. Yet we made some rare killings in the short time we were together. The danger was never so great, however, as to cause me to forget, the Dinwold girl. in my dreams and in my waking hours I could see her tugging at young Morgan’s hand and striving to come back and fare the trouble out In my company. At night I would awake with her voice in my ears, calling me “mister." Once I dreamed we were with the baggage train and she was saying “Kiss me.’’ 1 required many a bloody foray against Shawnee and traitorous Dela ware to wash that last dream thin. So there was never a day. when I was meeting with some one new. that ?

Fast Craft Used by New Guinea Natives

Craft similar to our modern speed boats have been in use in the waters around New Guinea for centuries. Native principles of design and a very light wood enable the boats to skim along the surface of the waves, and despite their lightness they are quite seaworthy. The New Guinea canoe builders hold their jobs by hereditary right and work with a royal pride The trees they use are the goo-goo-bah, the mah-moro and the matou bah, which, despite their names, are very tine and when chipped out and seasoned produce a shell that will withstand the tropic sun without splitting. There is a “torpedo” craft that in the larger sizes is fitted with a mast and ropes of twisted cocoa husk or vines and sails of cocoa matting closely plaited. The canoes are built for trade with the Torres islanders, with whom there was once an extensive trade. Formerly the price of , a canoe was reckoned in human skulls, and this currency still is good In parts of New Guinea, but now the Torres islanders use shell money, one of a rare variety being worth from Cuban Independence Cuba is an independent republic. She attained her Independence of . Spain by the treaty of Paris. December 1, 1898. which ended the SpanishAmerican war. A constitution was adopted in I!KH. The congress of the United States authorized the President to hand over the government to the Cuban people on the condition that the so-called Platt amendment adopted by congress March 2. 1901, be accepted. This amendment provided that the Cuban republic should never enter into any compact with a foreign power that would impair her Independence; that she would contract no excessive debts, and that the Cuban government carry out certain plans for the the island. ... ...i : V -

i I did not make diligent inquiry for her. i But so many families had been exterminated, so many pedigrees ended, that only by chance could I hope for news from the witch-girl. An elfish boyish creature in reality, but my separation from her translated her into some symbol of the border, something fearfully desirable. It became a mania with me to find her. and yet my place was on the frontier. On relief sallies, on retreats and on scouting trips. 1 asked of all 1 met if they knew of one called Daniel Morgan. Some professed to have met him. but none knew about a young woman dressed as a man. At the end of my service “’ith General Forbes I was as Ignorant as to whether she be alive or dead as I had been when I recovered my wits at the edge of the clearing along the Allegheny, where the dead hung from the twelve torture-stakes. And 1 missed the Onondaga. God only knows how 1 missed him and his brave heart when on some lonely faring. I missed Crotnit in a lesser degree, and often wished his terrible hands could help me decide some uneven argument. Aye, I missed them. But it was Round Paw of the Wolf clan who.se absence ate into my soul. Red or white, never was there a stronger comrade than he. The lonely Monongahela sings his requiem, nut In my heart he shall ever have a high place. Many a good comrade have I had in my day. but none so dear to my memory as the Wolf man. Gone to meet his particular god tks has many another, and all because one man did not understand. Worn by Incessant hardships and seriously troubled by the old arrow wound In my arm. I returned to Carlisle. uncertain as to what I should do next. The settlers were preparing to follow General Forbes’ army and make a new beginning along some pleasant stream. But 1. the last of the House of the Open Hand, had no desire to build a cabin and take root In one spot. The strange unrest, which had been only satisfied by the turmoil of border warfare, reduced me to a sad state of nerves. How could I ever be content on one creek or in one valley, with the memories of the Monongahela haunting met With the vision of that small wistful face staring back at me. I rode a skeleton of a horse into Carlisle. Perhaps it was a weakness of spirit that impelled me to surrender to the sudden longing to visit my old home and once more look through the gate of my father’s garden. I scarcely re- • member my mother, but perhaps this longing was the divine calling of the maternal in me. Like my horse. I was scarcely more than a skeleton l borrowed a suitable horse of a stranger and "did not marvel at his trust in me. At times I assured myself it was but a whim, that I would soon be doubling on my tracks and seeking service in the north; and yet I rode on. The memories stirred up by the journey were painful Unlike that other visit, the Onondaga was no longer ray companion; and yet at times 1 fancied he walked at my stirrup, his chest showing the fresh white paint of the round paw of the wolf. In tny more rational moments I felt old and out of place. It wa» when I brooded over the witch-girl’s disappearance that I felt a great emptiness of heart which made all the plans of youth but little account I had no wish to look on Josephine again and tell her poor Busby’s fare well message; and vet something drew me to rhe town. <TO BE

Which all goes to show- that fashionland Is in the midst of a “lace season.” such as it has not enjoyed for many seasons past Fancy turns gayly to vivid plaids this season When one considers that the very atmosphere is surcharged with a feeling for high color these days, this dominance of plaid is not at all surprising but rather to be expected. Tweed Above and Below Tweed, always so popular, makes Its appearance this season in a new guise—the smartest of shoes are made of this sturdy material. To wear with these shoes, in order to produce harmony in the general ensemble, there are delightful little hats of tweed.

r Everywhere in the style picture plaids are present. If one seeks formal dress then fashion suggests exquisitely sheer plaid velvet.
