CHAPTER X
- Straightway the lad sensed a curious
change in the attitude of the garrison.
The old warmth was absent- The, at
mosphere was charged with suspicion,
hostility. Old Jerome was surly, his
old playmates were distant. Only
Dave, Mother Sanders and Lydia were
unchanged. The predominant note was
curiosity, and they started to ply him
with questions, but Dave took him to
a cabin, and Mother Sanders brought
him something to eat.
- Had a , purty hard time, stated
Dave! The boy nodded.
"I had only three bullets. 'Firefly
went lame and I had to lead hm. I
couldn't eat cane and Firefly couldn't
eat pheasant. I got one from a
hawk," he explained. : "What's ? the
matter out there?"
"Nothin, said Dave, gruffly, and he
made the boy go to sleep. His story
came when all were around the fire at
supper, and was1 listened to with eag
erness. Again the boy felt the hostil
ity and It made him resentful and
haughty and his story brief and terse.
Most fluid and sensitive natures have
a chameleon quality, no matter what
stratum of adamant be beneath. The
boy was " dressed like an Indian, he
looked like one, and he had brought
back, it seemed, the bearing of an In
dian his wildness1 and stoicism. He
spoke like a chief in a council, and
even in English his phrasing and
metaphors .belonged to the red man.
No wonder they believed the stories
they had heard of him but there was
shame in many faces and little doubt
in any save one before he finished.
He had gone to see his foster-mother
and , his foster-father old chief
Kahtoo, the Shawnee because he had
given his word. Kahtoo thought he
was dying and wanted him to be chief
when the Great Spirit called. Kahtot
had once saved his life, had been kind,
and made him a son. That he could
not forget. ' An evil prophethad come
,to the tribe and through his enemies,
Crooked Lightning and Black Wolf,
had gained much Influence. They were
to burn a captive white woman as a
sacrifice. He had stayed t6 save her,
to argue with old Kahtoo, and carry
the wampum and a talk to a big coun
cil with the British. He had made his
talk and escaped. . He had gone back
to his tribe, had been tried, and was
to be burned at the stake. Again he
had escaped wijh the help of the white
woman and her daughter. The tribes
had Joined the British, and even then
were planning an early attack on this
very fort and all others.
The interest was tense and every
face was startled at this calm state
ment of their immediate danger. Old
Jerome burst out:
."Why did you have to escape from
the council and from the Shawnees?"
The boy felt the open distrust and he
rose proudly.
"At the council I told the Indians
that they should be friends, not ene
mies, of the Americans, and Crooked
Lightning called me a traitor. He had
overheard my talk with Kahtoo." .
"What was that?" asked ' Dave,
quickly.
'T told Kahtoo I would fight with
the Americans against the British and
-I Told Kahtoo I Would Fiflht With
the Americans Against the British
and Indians; and With You Against
Himl"
Indians; and with you against himT
And he turned away and went back to
the cabin.
nVhat'd I .tellye!" cried Dave in
dignantly, and he followed the boy,
tvno nad gone to nis minE, ana' put one
big band on his shoulder.
, "They thought you'd turned Injun
agin," he said,. "but it's all right now." J
"I know," said the lad, and with a j
muffled sound that was half the grunt '
of an Indian and half the sob of a J
white man turned his face away. !
A;rain Dare reached for the lad's
shoulder- -
"Don't blame 'em too much. - TYL
.tell yo'u now. Some fur traders came
by here, and one of 'em said you was
goin' to marry an Injun girl named
"Early Morn ; that you was goin to stay
with 'em and fight with 'em alongside
the British. Of course I knowed bet
ter, but" .
"Why," interrupted Erskine, they
must have been the same traders' who
eame to the Shawnee town and brought
whisky." ; ,
"That's what the feller said and
why folks here believed him."
Who was he?" demanded Erskine.
"You know him Dane Grey."
All tried to make amends straight
way for the Injustice they had done
him, but the boy's heart remained sore
that their trust was so little. Then,
when they gathered all settlers within
the fort and made all preparations and
no Indians came, many seemed again
to get distrustful and the lad was not
happy. The winter was longand hard.
A blizzard had driven the game west
amfsouth and the garrison was hard
put to It for food. Every day that the
hunters went forth the boy was among
them and he did far more than his
share in the killing of game. But when
winter was breaking, more news came
In of the war. The flag that had been
fashioned of a soldier's white shirt, an
old blue army coat, and a red petticoat
was now the Stars and Stripes of the
American cause. Burgoyne had not cut
off New England, that "head of the re
bellion," from the other colonies. On
the contrary, the Americans hari beat
en him at Saratoga and marched his
army off under those same Stars and
Stripes, and for the first Jime Erskine
heard of gallant Lafayette how he
had run to Washington with the por
tentous news . ; from his king that
beautiful, passionate France would
stretch forth her. helping hand. ; And
Erskine learned what that news
meant to Washington's "naked and
starving" soldiers dying on the frozen
hillsides of VaUey Forge. Then Georgef
Rogers Clark had passed the fort on
his way to Williamsburg to get money
and men for his great venture In the
Northwest, and Erskine got a ready
permission to .accompany him as sol
dier and guide. After Clark was gone
the lad got restless ; and one' morning,
when the first breath of spring came,
he mounted his horse, in spite- of argu
ments and protestations, and set forth
for Virginia on the wilderness trail.
He was going to Join Clark, he said,
but more than Clark and the war were
drawing him to the outer world. What
-It was he hardly knew, for he was not
yet much given to searching his heart
or mind. He did know, however, that
some strange force had long been
working within him that was steadily
growing stronger, was surging, now
like a flame and swinging him between
strange moods of depression and exul
tation. , Perhaps It was but the spirit
of spring In his heart, but with his
mind's eye, he was ever( seeing at the
end of his journey the face of his little
cousin Barbara Dale.
A striking figure the lad made rid-"
Ing into the old capital one afternoon
just before the sun sank behind the
western woods. 'Students no longer
wandered through the campus of Wil
liam and Mary college. . Only an occa
' sional 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
Waltfr in front of Raleigh tavern, and
there he drew up, before; the steps
where he wa3 once nigh to taking Dane
Grey's life." A negro servant came for
ward to.care for his horse, but a coal
black young giant leaped around the
corner and seized the bridle with a
welcoming cry:.
"Marse Erskine! 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 . '

Inventor Worthy of High. Rank
Among Statesmen. -
Simplest and Most Effective Form of
Government Ever Devised, Though
- Now Somewhat Shaken.
. One of the most ancient and simple
methods of exploitation and oppression
oft; record was in full working order In
the Sandwich Islands In .1778.
That method was the power of taboo.
The name of the man who first uttered
the word "taboo" in an authoritative
tone and put the fear of it into the
hearts of savages has not been pre
served in the memory of the race. But
he ranks high among statesmen of
the old school.
Under this direct and unanswerable
system of government, all that the
chief, or old man, or boss hunter had
to do when he wanted his tribesmen to
refrain from consuming, touching or
appropriating an article or a commod
ity was to point to it and say "taboo."
That meant that nobody could con
sume, touch or appropriate the article
thus designated. For instance. If the
coconut crop was " ruined and there
were only a few coconut trees on the
island yielding fruit, all the chief had
to do to conserve the limited yield for
himself was to announce that coconuts
.were taboo. , . .
Or, if the game had vanished and
there were only a few wild things left
on the hunting grounds, and the chief
or old man wanted them all for himself
"and his household, he could make the
requisite provision for himself by put
ting the taboo on game. v y
Or, if the stream that ran by the vil
lage was drying up and there was dan
ger that the chief 8 household might
run short of water, he Could fortify
! himself against future contingencies by
the same method a method so simple
that its very simplicity gives It an air
of supreme Ingenuity. ;
And the savages obejed. They
obeyed because the chief or the old
man or the boss hunter told them that
If they did not obey something un
speakably terrible would happen to
them In the hereafter, if not In the
here.
' For many generations nobody has
even tried to estimate how many this
obedlence to tne power of taboo was
maintained, and no savage in any of
.the. Pacific islands where it obtained
ever dreamed of running ,the risk of
breaking the taboo.
Finally, in quite modern times pos
sibly since the Declaration of Inde
pendence was signed In Philadelphia
some , savage of Incredible courage or
Ignorance risked his happiness in both
the here and the hereafter by breaking
-the taboo. We can imagine the aston
ishment of this primitive man, and of
all his fellows, when none of the ter
rors with which the Inventor of the
"taboo had Invested It came to pass.
That astounding discovery ended the
power of taboo as an individual
weapon. Atlanta Constitution.
