Sud enlY be saw something move. It
flitt d like a shadow from one -hunk
to til

eoul not have told whether it were
bees or humane- And then again he
saw it, and yet again, sometimes one
shad W, sometimes two shadows. Then
for few moments all was still once
mor, and then lie an instant there
erep oat from among the busbes the
mos terrible looking creature that ever
wal d ,the earth—an Iroquois chief
upon this war trail.
He was a tall, powerful mail, and
his rietle of scalp teks and eagle
fea ers made bine look like a giant in
the im light, for a good eight feet lay
betw ea his beaded moccasin and the
topm st Name of his headgear, One
side cif his face *as painted in soot,
ochei4 and vermilion to resemble a dog
and the other half as a fowl. His gun
• was thrown forward, and he erept
along With bended knees, peering, lis-
tening, pausing, hurryhig on, a breath-
ing image of caution. Two paces be-
hind him walked a lad of fourteen,
clad Lan armed in the same fashion,
but Ithout the painted 'face.
Th y Were just abreast of_ the bush
when something caught the eye of the
you eM warrior, some displaced twig
or fi tteritig teat -and he paused, With
suspi ion in .every feature. Another
insta t htid he had waroed his Com -
panto , but Du Lhut sprang- out and
burie his hatchet in the skull cif the
older warrior. be Catinat heard aidull
crash ast when an ax splinters its way
into ratten tree, and the man fell
like leg, kicking and striking with'
his p werful limbs. The younger war-
rior* s rang like a deer over, his !ellen
comr 1 de and dashed on Into the wood.
But on Instant later there was a gun-
shot o mong the trees in front, followed
by a airit wailing cry. .
"Tto t s his death whoop," sald, Du

line of men who waited silently for
them in the dins twilight They were
within fifty paces, and yet none of
them bad raised hand or voice to ehal-
lenge their approach. There was sonae-
thing enctinny in the, silence, and. a
change cabals over Du Lhutis face as
he peered In front of him.
"Itly God" he sereaMed. "Look at
• the fort!"
-They had cleared the clump -of trees,
and the outline of the bloekhouse
should have shown -up hi front of them.
There was no sign of it. It wee gone.
So unexpected was the bib* that
even Du nut, hardened from -his
• childhood to every shock and danger,
stood shaken and dismayed. Tben,
with an oath, he rat at the to of his
speed toward the line of figure*,
As they drew nearer they colild see
through the dusk that it was not ire
deed a line. A silent and • motionless
Officer stood out some twenty paces in
front of his silent and Imotionletis mentee
• They were: lashed to low posts with(
willow withes, some twenty of them,
naked all and twihted ,and screwed in-
to every strange shape which :an agon-
ized body could assume. For ia 3310-
in'ent the four corierades stared in si-
lent horror at the dreadful *group.
Then each_ acted as his nature bade
him. De Catinat staggered up tigniest
a tree trunk and leaned his head upon
his arm; deathly sick; Du Lhet fell
down *upon hls knees and said I some-
thing to heaven,, with his two clinched
hands shaking up at the %darhening
' sky;- Ephraim Savage examined the
priming of his gun, with a tightened
lip and a gleanhing eye, while ; Amos
Green, withouta word, began to cast
round In circles hi search of a trail.
Bet Du Lliut Was on his feet; again
in a ruoment and running up and down
like a sleuthhound, noting a hendred
things which even Amos would have
overlooked. He circled round the
bodiea again and again; then he ran
a little way toWard the edge 11 the
woods and then eagle back to the -char-
red ruins of the blockhouse.
"There Is no sign of the vomen and
children," said he. "They are keeping
the children to burn at their 1eiiire In
their villages. The women they may
torture or may adopt, as the humor
takes them."
"Ask him, Amos," said the seeman,
"why we are yawing and tacking
here when we should be crackipg on
all sail to stand after them."
Dia Unit smiled and shook his head.
'Your friend is a brave man," said he,
Du Lhut sprang. out awl hu
hatchet irt,the.siotikof 'the war
"if be thinks that—wi' thl m

• "Taithim, Amos, that the Lord will
bear us up," said the other exci edly.
"Say that he will be -With. 'us agzinst
the children of Jeroboam, and w will
cut them off utterly." I
But Du Lhut waved aside the sea-
man's suggestions. "We must Wive a
care now," said he, "or we shalli lose
our own scalps and be the cauee of
those at Ste. Marie losing theirs as
Ifarlel" cried De Catinat "Is
there, then, danger at Ste. MarieT1'
"Aye, they are in the wolf's Mouth
now. This business Was done last
night The place was Stormed yor
war party of a hundred and *fifty men.
This -morning they left and went aorthin
upon foot. They have been cched
among the woods all day between Poi -
ton and Ste. Marie."
"Then we have come through themr
"yes, we have come through them.
They would keep their camp s ay
and send out scouts. Brown • 'se
and his son were among them and

"Tonight they will attack Ste. Ma-
