ERSKINE DALE-PIONEER By JOHN FOX, Jr. V • Copyrighted by Charles Scribner’* Sons

CHAPTER Xlll—Continued. “My son spoke ">ir<!; of truth,** he proclaimed sonorously. “He warned us against the king over the waters and told us to make friends with the Americans. We did not heed his words, and so he brought the great chief of the Long Knives, who stood without fear among warriors more numerous than leaves and spoke the same words to all. We are friends Os the Long Knives. My son is the true prophet. Bring out the false one and Crooked Lightning and Black Wolf, whose life my son saved though the two were enemies. My son shall do with them as he pleases." Many young braves sprang willingly forward and the three were haled before Erskine. Old Kahtoo waved his hand toward them and sat down. Erskine rose and fixed his eyes sternly i on the cowering,prophet: “He shall go forth from the village and shall never return. For his words work mischief, he does foolish things, and his drumming frightens the game. He is a false prophet and he must go.” He turned to Crooked Lightning: “The Indians have made peace with the Long Knives and White Arrow would make peace with any Indian, though an enemy. Crooked Lightning shall go or stay, as he pleases. Black Wolf shall stay, for the tribe will need him as a hunter and a warrior against the English foes of the Long Knives. White Arrow does not ask another to spare an enemy’s life and then take it away himself.”

The braves grunted approval. Black ' Wolf and Crooked Lightning averted their faces and the prophet shambled uneasily away. Again old Kahtoo proelainied sonorously, “It is well!” ami went hack with Erskine to his tent. There he sank wearily on a buffaloskin and pleaded with the boy to stay with them as chief in his stead. He was ,very old, and now that peace was made with the Long Knives he ! was willing to die. If Erskine would but give his promise, he would never rise again from where he lay. Erskine shook his head and the old man sorrowfully turned his face. And yet Erskine lingered on and on at the village. Os the White woman he had learned little other than 1 that she had been bought from an- , ptber trilx* ami adopted by old Kahtoo ; but it was plain that since the threatened burning of her she had i been held In high respect by the whole i tribe. He began to wonder about her and whether she might not wish to go back to her own people. He had never talked with her, but he never moved about the camp that he did 1 not feel her eyes upon him. And Early Morn's big soft eyes, too, never (seemed to leave him. She brought him food she sat at the door of his tent, she followed him about the village ami bore herself opfinly as his slave. At last old Kahtoo. who would not give up his great hope, pleaded with ; him to marry her. and while he was talking the girl stood at the door of j the tent and interrupted them. Her | mot . r - were growing dim. she said. Her mother wanted to talk with White Arrow aid look upon his face |

before her sight should altogether; pass. Nor could Erskine know that the white woman wanted to look into the eyes of the fuan she hoped would j become her daughter's husband, hut i Kahtoo did. and he bade Erskine go. His foster mother, coming upon the scene, scowled, but Erskine rose and went to the white woman's tent. She sat just inside -the opening, with a blanket across the lower half of her face, nor did she look at him. Instead she plied ’ him with questions, and listened eagerly to his every word, and drew from him every detail of his life as far back as he could remember. Boor soul, it was the first opportunity for many years that she had had to talk with any white person who had been tn the eastern world, and freely and frankly he held nothing back. All the while the girl had crouched near, looking at Erskine with doglike ■ eyes, and when he rose to go the ! woman dropped the blanket from her face and got to her feet. Shyly she lifted her hands, took his face between them, bent dose, and studied it searchingly: -What Is your name?” “Erskine Dale.” Without a word she turned back into her tent. At dusk Erskine stood by the river’s brim, with his eyes lifted, to a ' rising moon and his thoughts with Bart»ara on the bank of the James. Behind him he heard a rustle and, turning, he saw the girt her breast throbbing and her eyes burning with a light he had never seen before. “Black Wolf will kill you.” she whispered. “Black Wolf wants Early Morn and he knows that Early Morn wants White Arrow” Erskine put both hands on her shoulders and looked down into her eyes. She trembled, and when hLs arms went about she surged closer to him and the touch of her warm, supple body went through him like fire. And then with a triumphant smile she sprang hack. “Black Wolf will see." she whls- . pered. and fled. Erskine sank to the ground, with his head in his hands. The giri ran back to her tent, and the mother, peering at the flushed face and shininc eyes, cloy to the truth. Sha mid nothing. But when the girt was asreep and faintly smiling, the white woman sat staring out into the moonlit woods, softly beating her breast.

w show some heed to Early Morn a fierce i Jealousy seized the savage, nnd his I old hatred was reborn a thousandfold ; more strong—and that, too, Erskine now knew. Meat ran low and a hunting party went abroad. Game was scarce and only after the second day was there a kill. Erskine had sighted a 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 it 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 bellow of the stag i reached the ears of Black M olf . through the woods, anti he darted to- ; ward the sound. And he came none ' too soon. Erskine heard the erack of ; a rlfie, the stag toppled over, and he ; saw Black Wolf standing over him with a curiously triumphant look on his saturnine face. In Erskine, when he rose, the white man was predominant, 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, nodded. and the two bore the stag away. Instantly a marked change was plain in Black Wolf. He told the story of the fight with the buck to all. Boldly he throw off the mantle

At dusk a day or two later, when he was coming ! down the path from the white woman’s wigwam, Black Wolf confronted him. scowling.

“Early Morn shall belong to Black i Wolf.” he said insolently. Erskine met his baleful, half-drunken eyes scornfully. “We will leave that to Early Morn,” he said coolly, and then thundered suddenly: “Out of my way!" Black Wolf hesitated and gave way. but ever thereafter Erskine was cn guard. In the white woman, too, Erskine now saw a change. Once she had encouraged him to stay with the Indians ; now she lost no opportunity to urge against It. • She had hertrd that Hamilton would try ti? retake Vincennes. that he was forming a great force With which to march south, sweep through Kentucky, batter down the wooden forts, and force the Kentuckians tiehind the great mountain wall. Erskine would be needed by the whites, who would never understand or trust him if he should stay with the Indians. All this she spoke one day when Erskine camr to her tent to talk. Her face had blanched, she had argued jwissionately that he must go. and Erskine was sorely puzzled. The Kiri. too. bad grown rel»eilious and disobedient, for the change in her mother was plain also to her, and she could not understand. Moreover. Erskine's stubbornness grew, and he began to flame within Ht the stalling Insolence of Black Wolf, who slipped through the shadows of day and the dusk to spy on the two whereever they came together. And one day when the sun was midway, and in the open of the village, the clash came. Black Wolf darted forth from his wigwam, his eyes bloodshot with rage and drink, and his hunting knife in his hand. A cry from Early Morn warned Erskine and he wheeled. As

accomplish wonders in canoe

Eskimos Are Literally Part of the Frail Craft Which They Hav* Named a “Kayak." Built of sealskin, with the fur'lnside. <rretched over a framework of wool, the Eskimo canoe —called a “kayak' -is only about ten feet long, and >ften not two feet wide at its widest part, tapering “to nothing" at both ends. The greatest width of the kayak is at the middle. Here there is a combing which slightly rises above ,the deck. The rest of the deck, save this hole just large enough to admit of the passage of the body of a man, is covered with sealskin. When the Eskimo goes out In a .<ayak, he puts on a special sealskin, waterpr<x>f shirt over his regular cloth-

Black Wolf made a vicious slash at him he sprang aside, and with his fist caught the savage in the Jaw. Black Wolf fell heavily and Erskine was upon him with his own knife at his enemy's throat. “Stop themold Kahtoo cried sternly, but It was the terrified shriek of the white woman that stayed Erskine’s hand. Two young braves disarmed the fallen Indian, and Kahtoo looked inquiringly at his adopted son. “Turn him loose!” Erskine scorned. “I have no fear of him. lie Is a woman and drunk, but next time I shall kill him." The white woman had run down, caught Early Morn, and was leading her back to her tent. From inside presently came low, passionate pleading from the woman and an occasional sob from the girl. And when an hour later, at dusk, Erskine turned upward toward the tent, the girl gave a horrified cry, flashed from the tent, and darted for the high cliff over the river. “Catch her!” cried the mother. “Quick!” Erskine fled after her, overtook her with her hands upraised for the plunge on the very edge of the cliff, and half curried her, struggling and sobbing, back to the tent. Within the girl dropped in a weeping heap, and with her face covered, ard the woman turned to Erskine, agonized. “I told her,” she whispered, “and she was going to kill herself. You are my son!”

Still sleepless at dawn, the boy rode Firefly into the woods. At sunset he came in, gaunt with brooding and hunger. His foster mother brought him food, but he would not touch it. The Indian woman stared at him with keen suspicion, and presently old Kahtoo, passing slowly, bent on him the same look, but asked no question. Erskine gave no heed to either, but his mother, watching from her wigwam, understood ami grew fearful. Quickly she stepped outside and called him. and he rose and went to her bewildered; she was smiling. “They are watching.” she said, and Erskine, too, understood, and kept his back toward the watchers. “I have decided.” he said. ‘‘You and she must leave here and go with me.” His mother pretended much displeasure. “She will hot leave, and I will not leave her" —her lips trembled —“and I would have gone long ago but ” “I understand.” Interrupted Erskine, “but you will go now with your son.” The poor woman had to scowl. “No, and you must not tell them. They will never let me go, and they will use me to keep you here. You must go at once. She will never leave this tent as long as yon are here, and If you stay she will die, or kill herself, Some, day—” She turned abruptly and went back into her tent. Erskine wheeled and went to old Kahtoo. “You want Early Morn?" asked the old man. “You shall have her." “No.” said the boy. "I am going back to the big chief.” “You are my son and I am old and weak." “I am a soldier and must obey the big chief's commands, as must you.” “I shall live," said the old man wearily, “until you come again.” Erskine nodded and went for his home. Black Wolf watched him with malignant satisfaction, but said nothing—nw did Crooked Lightning. Erskine turned once as he rode away. His mother was standing outside her wigwam. Mournfully she waved her hand. Behind her and within the tent he could see Early Morn with botb hands at her breadt. CHAPTER XV Dawned 1781. The war was coming into Virginin at last.

Then he draws over the combing the end of his shirt, which tightly fits the combing part of the kayak. Experts of Greenland learn to turn a somersault in a canoe and come up again on even keel, an exchange states. But the-best of the Eskimos of Greenland are not content with merely being able to right the kayak when it overturns. They practice until they are able to paddle the kayak in such away that they shoot ahead on their course even as they turn that dangerous somersault is th* sea,
