ERSKINE DALE-PIONEER

CHAPTER X—Continued. A striking figure the lad made riding Into the old capital one afternoon just before the sun sank behind the western woods. Students no longer wandered through the campus of William and Mary college. Only an occasional maid in silk and lace tripped along the street in high-heeled shoes and clocked stockings, and no coach and four was in sight. The governor's palace, in its great yard amid linden trees, was closed and deserted. My Lord Dunmore was long in sad flight, as Erskine later learned, but not in his - coach with its six milk-white horses. But there was the bust of Sir Walter in front of Raleigh tavern, and there he drew up, before the steps where he was once nigh to taking Dane Grey's life. A negro servant came forward to care for his horse, but a coalblack young giant leaped around the corner and seized the bridle with a welcoming cry: “Marse Ersbtne! But I knowed Firefly fust.” It was Ephraim, the groom who had brought out Barbara's ponies, who had turned tne horse over to him for the race at the fair. “I come from de plantation fer ole marse,” the boy explained. The host of the tavern heard and came down to give his welcome, for any Dale, no matter what his garb, could always have the best in that tavern. More than that, a bewigged solicitor, learning his name, presented himself with the cheerful news that he had quite a little sum of money that had been confided to his keeping by Colonel Dale for his nephew, Erskine. A strange deference seemed to be paid him by everybody, which was a grateful change from the suspicion he had left among his pioneer friends. The little tavern was thronged and the air charged with the spirit of war. Indeed, nothing else was talked. My Lord Dunmore had come to a sad and unbemoaned end. He had stayed afar from the battlefield of Point Pleasant and

had left stalwart General Lewis to fight Cornstalk and his braves alone. Later My Lady Dumpore and her sprightly daughters took refuge on a man-of-war—whither my lord soon followed them. His fleet ravaged the banks of the rivers and committed | every outrage. His marines set fire to Norfolk, which was In ashes when he weighed anchor and sailed away to more depredations. When he Intrenched himself on Gwynn’s island, that same stalwart Lewis opened a , heavy cannonade on fleet and island, and sent a bull through the indignant nobleman's flagship. Next day he saw a force making for the island in boats, and my lord spread all sail; and so back to merry England, and to Virginia no more. Meanwhile. Mr. Washington had reached Boston and started his duties under the Cambridge elm. Several times during the talk Erskine had heard mentioned the name of Dane Grey. Yeung Grey had been | with Dunmore and not with Lewis at | Point Pleasant, and had I een conspicu- j ous at the palace through much of the ■ succeeding turmoil —the hint being his devotion to one of the daucyiers. since he was now an unquestioned loyalist. Next morning Erskine rode forth along a sandy road, amidst the singing of birds and through a forest of tiny upshooting leaves, for Red Oaks on the James. He had forsworn Colonel Dale to secrecy as to the note he had left behind giving his birthright to his little cousin, Barbara, and he knew the confidence would be kept Inviolate. At the boat landing he hitched his horse to the low-swung branch of an oak and took the path through tangled rose bushes and undergrowth along the bank of the river, halting where it would give him forth on the great, broad, grassy way that led to the house among the oaks. There was the sundial that had marked every sunny hour since he had been away. For a moment he stood there, and when he stepped Into the open he shrank back hastily—a girl was coming through the opening of boxwood from the house—coming slowly, bareheaded, her hands clasped behind her. her eyes downward. His heart throbbed as he waited, throbbed the more when his ears caught even the soft tread of her little feet, and seemed to stop when she paused at the sundial, and as before searched the river with her eyes. And as before the song of negro oarsmen came over the yellow flood, growing stronger as they neared. Soon the girl fluttered a handkerchief and from the single passenger in the stern came an answering flutter of white and a glad cry. At the bend of the river the boat disappeared from Erskine’s sight under th? bank, and be watched the girl. How she had grown I Her slim figure had rounded and shot tipward, and her white gown had dropped to her dainty ankles. Now her face was flushed and her eye flashed with excitement —it was no mere kinsman In that boat, and the boy's heart began to throb again—throb fiercely and with racking emotions that he had never known before A flery looking youth sprang up the landing-steps, bowed gallantly over the girl's hand, and the two turned up the path, the girl rosy with smiles and the youth bending over her with a most protecting and tender air. It was Dane Grey, and the heart of the watcher turned mortal sick. CHAPTER XI. A ‘ong time Erskine sat motionless, wondering what ailed him. Be had never liked nor trusted Grey; he believed he would have trouble witll him some day, but he had other enemies and he did not feel toward them as be did toward this dandy mincing up that beautiful broad path. With a little grunt he turned back-along the path. Firefly whinnied'to him and nipped at him with playful restlessness as though eager to be on his way to the barn, and he stood awhile with one arm across his saddle. Once he reached upward to untie the reins, and with another grunt strode back and went rapidly up the path. Grey and Barbara had disappeared, but a tall youth who sat behind one of the big pillars saw him coming and rose, bewildered, hot Mt for long. Each recognLted the other

swiftly, and Hugh came with stiff courtesy forward. Erskine smiled: "You don’t know me?” Hugh bowed: “Quite well.” The woodsman drew himself up with quick breath—paling without, flaming within —but before he could speak there was a quick step and an astonished cry within the hall and Harry sprang out “Erskine I Erskine I" he shouted, and he leaped down the steps with both hands outstretched. “You here! You—you old Indian —how did you get here?” He caught Erskine by both hands ami then fell to shaking him by the shoulders. “Where’s your horse?” And then he noticed the boy’s pale and embarrassed face and his eyes shifting to Hugh, who stood, still cold, still courteous, and he checked seme hot outburst at his lips. “Pm glad you’ve come, and Pm glad you’ve come right now —where's your horse?” » “I left him hitched at the landing.” Erskine had to answer, and Harry looked puzzled: “The landing! Why, what—” He wheeled and shouted to a darky: “Put Master Erskine's torse In the barn and feed him.” And he led Erskine within—to the same room where he had slept before, and poured out some water In a bowl. “Take your time," he said, and he went back to the porch. Erskine could hear and see him through the latticed blinds. “Hugh,” said the lad in a low, cold voice, “I am host here, and if you don’t like this you can take that path.” “You are right,” was the answer; “but you wait until Uncle Harry gets home.” The matter was quite plain to Erskine within. The presence of Dane Grey made it plain, and as Erskine dippqU both hands into the cold water

mW k “Never to You, My Dear Cousin.” he made up his mind to an understanding with that young gentleman that would be complete und final. And so he was ready when he and Harry were on the porch again and Barbara and Grey emerged from the rose bushes and came slowly up the path. Harry looked worried, but Erskine sat still, with a faint smile at his mouth and in ids eyes. Barbara saw him first and she did not rush forward. Instead, she stopped, with wide eye®, a stifled cry, and lifting one hand toward her heart. Grey saw too, flushed rather painfully, and calmed himself. Erskine had sprung down she steps. “Why, have I changed so much?” he cried. “Hugh didn’t seem to know me. either." His voice was gay, friendly, even affectionate, but his eyes danced with strange lights that puzzled the girt. “Os course I knew you,” she faltered, paling a little, but gathering herself rather haughtily—a fact that Erskine seemed not to notice. “You took me by surprise and you have changed —but I don’t .know how much.” The significance of this too seemed to pass Erskine by, for he bent over Barbara’s hand and kissed it. “Never to you, my dear cousin," he said gallantly, and then he bowed to Dane Grey, not offering to shake hands. “Os course I know Mr. Grey.” To say that the gentleman was dumfounded is to put It mildly—this wild Indian playing the courtier with exquisite Impudence and doing It well! Harry seemed like to burst witlj restrained merriment, and Barbara was sorely put to it to keep her poise. The great dinner bell from behind the house boomed its summons to the woods and fields. “Come on." called Harry. “I imagine you’re hungry, cousin." “I am," said Erskine. “I’ve bad nothing to eat since —since early morn.” Barbara’s eyes flashed upward

CARELESS FORMS OF OUR SPEECH

Inaccuracies That Have Come Into Use Through the Lack of a Little Forethought. Strictly speaking, the order of speech should correspond with the sequence of action, yet we speak of putting on our shoes and stockings, instead of our stockings and shoes, says London Answers. The same freak of speech applies to our garments. It is our “coat and vest,” which we say we are going to nut on. Obviously, It should be our "vest and coat." Mats are made which bear the injunction, “Wipe Your Feet.” When will some manufacturer have the courage to issue mats with “Wipe Your

and Grey was plainly startled. Was there a slight stress on those two words? Erskine's face was as expressionless as bronze. Harry had bolted Into the hall. Mrs. Dale was visiting down the river, so Barbara sat in ber mother’s place, with Erskine at her right, Grey to her left, Hugh next to him, and Harry at the head. Harry did not wait lopg. “Now, you White Arrow, you Big Chief, tell us the story. Where have you been, what have you been doing, and what do you mean to do? I’ve heard a good deal, but I want It eIL” Grey began to look uncomfortable, and so, in truth, did Barbara. “What have you heard?” asked Er»kine quietly. “Never mind," interposed Barbara quickly; “you tell us." “Well,” began Erskine slowly, “you remember that day we met some Indians who told me that old Kahtoo, my foster-father, was ill, and that he wanted to see me before he died? I went exactly as I would have gone had white men given the same message from Colonel Dale, and even for better reasons. A bad prophet was stirring up trouble In the tribe against the old chief. An enemy of mine. Crooked Lightning, was helping him. He wanted his son. Black W’olf, as chief, and the old chief wanted me. I heard the Indians were going to join the British. I didn't want to be chief, but I did want influence in the tribe, so I stayed. There was a white woman In the camp and an Indian girl named Early Mom. I told the old chief that I would fight with the whites against the Indians and with the whites against them both. Crooked Lightning overheard me, and you can Imagine what use he made of what I said. I took the wampum belt for the old chief to the powwow between the Indians and the British, and I found I could do nothing. I met Mr. Grey there.” He bowed slightly to Dane and then looked at him steadily. “I was told that he was there tn the interest of an English fur company. When I found I could do nothing with the Indians, I told the council what I had told the old chief.” He paused. Barbara’s face was pale and she was breathing hard. She had not looked at Grey, but Harry had been watching him covertly and he did not look comfortable. Erskine paused. “What!” shouted Harry. “You told ' both that you would fight with the whites against both I What’d they do to you?” Erskine smiled. “Well, here I am. I jumped over the heads of the outer ring and ran. Firefly heard me calling him. I had left his halter loose. He broke away. I jumped on him, and you know noticing can catch Firefly." “Didn’t they shoot at you?” "Os course.” Again be paused. “Well,” said Harry impatiently, “that isn’t the end.” "I went back to the camp. Crooked Lightning followed me and they tied : me and were going to bum me at the stake.” “Good heavens!” breathed Barbara. “How’d you get away?” “The Indian girl. Early Mom, slipped under the tent and cut me loose. The white woman got my gun, and Firefly —you know nothing can catch Firefly.” The silence was intense. Hugh looked dazed, Barbara was on the point of tears, Harry was triumphant, and Grey was painfully flushed. “And you want to know what I am going to do now?” Erskine went on. “I'm going with Capt. George Rogers Clark —with what command axe you, Mr. Grey?” “That's a secret.” he smiled coolly. “I’ll let you know later,” and Barbara, with an inward sigh of relief, rose quickly, but would not leave them behind. “But the white woman?” questioned Harry. "Why doesn’t sbe leave the Indians?” “EarlyMMora half-breed —is her daughter,” said Erskine simply. “Oh I* and Harry questioned no . further. “Early Mora was the best-looking Indian girl I ever saw," said Erskine, “and the bravest." For the first time Grey glanced at Barbara. “She saved my life,” Erskine went on gravely, “and mine Is hers whenever she needs it” Harry reached over and gripped his hand. As yet not one word had been said i of Grey’s misdoing but Barbara’s cool disdain made him shamed and hot, and In her eyes was the sorrow of her in- ■ justice to Erskine. In the hallway she excused herself with a courtesy, Hugh s went to the stables, Harry disappeared for a moment, and the two were left i alone. With smoldering fire Erskine turned to Grey. “It seems you have been amusing • yourself with my klnspeople at my expense.” Grey drew himself up in I haughty silmce. Erskine went on: “I have known some liars who were not cowards.” i “You forget yourself." I “No—nor you.” "You remember a promise I made » you once?” “Twice,” corrected Erskine. Grey’s I eyes flashed upward to the crossed ’ rapiers on the wall. I (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Boots?” Why is It that we never smile at the “Wipe Your Feet" request? We say that we are going “to catch a train." Think it out and the expression, involving as it does the idea of a pursuit, is obviously silly. Again, we say that we have “caught a cold” when for. a fact we ought to reverse the wafl, and say that a cold has caught us! Possibly the queerest freak speech of aH is the national greeting of “How do you dor As an inquiry to a profiteer regarding his business methods. the query would have point, but as a health query it Is nonsense. “English as she is spoken” is queer stuff!
