SYNOPSIS.-To the * Kentucky
wilderness outpost commanded by
Jerome Sanders, in the time Imme
diately preceding the Revolution,
comes a white boy fleeing from,a'
tribe of Shawnees by whom he had
been c aptured and adopted as a son
of the chief Kahtoo. - He Is given
shelter and attracts the favorable
attention of Dave Yandell. a leader
among the settlerk. The boy warns
his new friends of the coming of a
Shawnee war party. The fort Is
attacked, and only saved by the
timely appearance of a party of
Vlrglnlana The leader of these is
fatally wounded, but In his dying
moments recognises the fugitive
youth ns his son. At lied Onks,
plantation on the Jnmeo river. Vir
ginia. Colonel Ikale's home, the boy
appears with n message for the
colonel. Who after reading H Intro

An armful of pine fagots was tossed
on the hluze, and in u whiter leap of
light he saw the face of a woman at
the other tent—saw her face and for
a moment met her eyes before she
shrank back—and neither face nor
eyes belonged to an Indian. Startled,
he caught his mother by the wrist and
all but cried out:
“And that?” Tb'e.old woman hesi
tated nndV-owIed:
“A l>aleface. Kahtoo bought her
and adopted her but"—the old woman
gave a little guttural cluck of tri
umph—“she (lies tomorrow. Kahtoo
will bum her.’*

The old man hesitated long with
closed eyes. When he opened them
the lire was gone and they were dim
again.
“The story of fhe prophet and
Crooked Lightning Is tod long,” he
said wearily. . “I will tell tomorrow.
The wotmfn must die because her
people have slain mine. Resides, she
is growing blind and is a trouble. You
carry the white Wampum to a council.
The Shawnees may join the British
against our enemies—the palefaces.”
“I will wait,” said the lad. “I will
carry the white wampum. If yon war
against the paleface on this side of
the mountain—I am your eliemy. If
you war with the British against them
all—I am your enemy. And the wom
an must not die.”
“I have spoken," said the oln man.
“I have spoken,” said the hoy. lie
turned to lie down and went to sleep.
The old man sat on, staring out at the
stars. .
Just outside the tent a figure slipped
away as noiselessly as a snake. When
It rose and emerged from the shadows
the firelight showed the malignant, tri
umphant face of Crooked Lightning,

waved dismissal:
“You must ride north soon to carry
the white wampum and a peace talk.
And when you go you must hurry back,
for when the sun Is highest on the
day after you return, my spirit will
pass.” •
And thereupon he turned his face
and went back into sleep.
Just before sunset rifle-shots sound
ed in the distance—the hunters were
coming in —and the accompanying
whoops meant great success. Each of
three bucks carried a deer over his
shoulders, and foremost of the three
was Crooked Lightning, who barely
paused when he saw Erskine, and
then with an insolent glare and grunt
passed him and tossed his deer at the.
feet of the squaws. The boy’s hand
slipped toward the handle of his toma
hawk, but some swift instinct kept him
still. The savage must have had good
reason for such open defiance, for the
lad began to feel that many others
shared In hi$ hostility and he began
|o wonder and speculate.
Quickly the feast was prepared and
the boy ate apart—his foster-mother
bringing him food—but he could hear
the story of the day's hunting and (he

eyes ha(T a new fire.
. “Talk!” he commanded, and mo
tioned to the ground, hut the lad did
not squat Indian fashion, but stood
straight with arms folded, and the
chief knew that a conflict was coming.
Narrowly he watched White Arrow’s
face and bearing—uneasily felt the
strange new power of him.
**I have been with my own people,”
said the lad simply, “the palefaces
who have come over the big moun
tains, on and on almost to the big wa
ters. I found my kin. They are many
and strong and rich. They, too, were*
kind to me. I came because you had
been kind and because you were sick
and because you had sent for me. and
to keep my word.

j They were waiting for me to die.” Tha
boy looked thoughtful and the chief
waited. - He had not reached the aim
of his speech and there was no need
to put It In words, for White Arrow
understood.
“I will show them,” he said quietly.
When, the two appeared outside,
many braves had gathered, for the
whole village knew what was in the
wind. Should It he a horse race first?
Crooked Lightning looked at the boy’s
thoroughbred and shook his head—
Indian ponies would as well try to out«
run an arrow, a bullet, a hurricane.
A foot-race? The old chief smiled
when Crooked Lightning shook hij
head again—no brave in the tribe even
could match the speed that gave tha
lail his name. The bow and arrow,
the rifled the tomahawk? Tomahawks
and bows -and arrows were brought

2. C<i<t»|»irar)r of a Hu<h!*n Attack
(4:7-0). When the enemy saw that
tlie work uaa actually succeeding they
changed from ridl«*ule to an attempt
to throw the workmen Into a panic
and thus hinder the work. When the
enemy cannot succeed by scoffing then
he resorts to Intimidation.
3. Conspiracy With the Jewa (4:
10-23). They sought by means of Qie
Jews from the outside to discourage
their brethren by showing that tbe
task was hopeless and that at any
time they were subject to a sudden
and secret attack. ,
4. Greed and Oppression of the
Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews .of that
day. like the profiteers in the recent
Wvrld war, took advantage of the
poor and oppressed them so that they
mortgaged their land and sold their
daughters into slavery. Neheinlah
boldly rebuked them for their crimes
and ordered a restoration to be made,
exacting an oath of them that they
would fulfil fheir promises.
5. .Scheme to Take Neheinlah’s L|fe
(6:1-14). When Sanhallat and Tobiah
failed in every other way they sought
by cyaft to get Xehetnlah ,t away that
they might kill him.
III. The Wall Completed («:ir>-7:4).
So energetically did they pursue
tfieir^tasks that In fifty-two days the
wall was completed. When the en
emies- heard that In spltb of all their
schemes the work-.war actually com
pleted, they Were cast down, for they
perceived that the work was of God.

We were expecting guests for din
ner. One of them was a friend of my
husband’s family,, and had the repu
tation of being a most particular cook
and housekeeper. I was, accordingly,
a trifle perturbed about the upjiear-
anre of the..house and the dinner.
... Just as I began preparations, a
neighbor’s child was seriously hurt,
and I hurried to the assistance of the
distracted mother, after giving Instruc
tions to my husband to jwel the pota
toes and put them on to boll. When
I returned, my guests had arrived. At
the- table I nptlced that the potatoes
had been peeled carelessly, and apolo
gized, explaining that my husband had
done them. ..

didn’t do them; I did.”-—Chicago
