The sun rode higher and higher,
gilding the misty green ,of the 'budding
trees, ' quickening the red maple
'bloom into fierce .scarlet, throwing
lances of 'light down through the pine
branches to spli'n'teragainst thie dark
earth far below. For an hour it shone;
then 'clouds ,gathered and shut itfrom

branches together with a groaning.
sound, the old and worn fell crash-
ing to the earth. !Presently the rain
rushed down, • latbt lines of silver tear-
ing through the wood with the sound
.of the feet of an army; ha:i followed,
a torrent of ice beating and bruising
all tender green things to the . earth,
The wind took the multitudinous
sounds,—the cries of ,frightened ' birds,
the, creaking trees, the snap of break-
ing boughs, the crash of ;falling giants,
the rush Of the rain; the drumming 'of
the hail,—enwoun'd them with itself,
and made the fonest like a great shell
held arise to the ear.
"There was no house to flee to; so
bong as we could face the hal we
staggered on, heads down, buffeting
the wind; but at last, the fury of the
storm increasing, we were fain •to
throw ourselves u'pon the earth, in a
little brake, ,where an 'overhanging
bank somewhat broke the wind. A
mighty oak, swaying and groaning
.. above us, might fall .and crush us like
eggshells; but if we went on, the like
fate migihit meet us in the way. Brok-
en and withered limb's, driven by the
w'in'd, went past us like croaked sha-
dows; it grew darker and danker, and
the air was deadly cold,
The. three I'nd'ians pressedl their
faces against the ,ground; they dream -
have measured leagues. There was no
breath to waste in wo'rd's, and thought
was a btuden quite intolerable; it was
enough to. stumble ' on through the
partial dight, with a mind as..graly and
blank as the, rain -blurred distance,
At noon the clouds broke, and an
hour later the sunshine was stream-
ing down from a cloudless heaven,
beneath which the forest lay clear be-
fore us, natught stirring save shy syl-
van creatures to whom it mattered
not if red man or white 'held ,the land.
Side by side Diccon anid'd hurried
on, not speakin'g, .keeping eye and
ear open, proposing with ail ou'r will
to reach the goal we had set, and to
reach it in ti'nve, let wheat might 'op-
pose. It was But another forced
march; many had we made in our
time, through dangers manifold, and
had lived to tell ,the tale.
There was no leisure in which to
play the Indian and cover • up aur
footprints as we made them, but when
we came to a brook we stepped into
the cold, swift -flawing water, and kept
it .company ler is ,while.
The brook flowed between wil'lo'ws
thickly set, already green, and over-
reaching a yard or more of water.
Presently it bent sharply, and we
turned with it Ten yards in front of
us the growth of willows ,ceased
abruptly, the low, steep banks shelved
downwards to a grassy level, and
the strea'm widened into a dlear' and
•placid 'po'o'l, as blue as the sky above.
Crouched upon the grass or standing
in .the shallow water were some fif-
teen or twenty deer. 'We had conte

blew from them to .us, and the wil-

slio'wly that the heart bled at the de-
lay, streams and fa'l'len trees, --;on and
on we hurried, until ..the sun . s'a'nk
and the dusk came creeping in upon
us.
'We've dined wi't'h'Duke IHuimpihrey

that?"
'That" was the report of a musket,
and a spent ball had struck me above
the knee, bruising, the flesh beneath
the' leather of my boot.
We wheeled, and looked in the di-
rection whence had come that un-
welcome visitor; There was nattgh't
to be seem. It was dusk in the d'i's-
tance, and there were th'ic'kets too, and
fallen logs: Where that ambuscade

those logs, or crouched within a
thicket, no mortal' naan could tell.
"It was a spent ball," I said.
"Our best hope Is in our. heels."
"There are pines beyond, and
smooth going," he answered; ,"but if
ever I tho-ught to run from an In-
dian!"'
Wit'hou't more ado we started. If
we cou'l'd outstrip that marksman, if
we could •even hold our distance until
night had fallen, all might yet be
well A li'ttl'e longer, and even an In-
dian must fire at random; moreover,
we might rea'c'h some stream and
Manage to break our trail. The ground
was smooth before us,—too slnaotth,
and Stipp err with pine needles; the
p'in'es, themselves stood in grim brown
rows, and we ran between them
tightly and easily, husbanding our
strength. Nlo'w and again one or the
other looked Ibehirnd, but we saw
only the pines and the •gathening dusk.
;Hope wail strengthening in .us, when
a second 'bullet dug into the earth

Diccon swore beneath his breath.
+'Ft struck deep," he muttered. "The.
dark is stow in coming."
A minute later, as I ran with my
head over my shoulder, I saw our
pursuer, dimly, like a deeiper shadow
in the sh'addows. far ,down the arcade
behind us. There was but one man,
-a tall' warrior, strayed aside frani
his band, perhaps, or bound upon a
warpath of his own. The musket that
he carried some English fool had
sold him for a mess of pottage.
Putting forth all our strength, we
ran far our lives, and for the lives of
many others. Before us the pine wood
sloped down'to a deep and wide
thicket, and beyond the thicket a line
of s'ycam'ores promised water. If we,
could reach the thicket, its close enc
bra'ce would hide us, ---then the dark
ness and the stream. A third shot,
and Diccon staggered sllglutlg
"For 'God's sake, not struck, man?"
Q cried.
"It grazed my arm," he panted..

heads: that was all we ,ca'r'ed for, and

The thicket was many yards across.
When we had gone thirty feet down
we cr'ouch'ed and waited for the •dark.

He straightened 'himself and strode
