Apprenticed by his mother to saddler. Kit had run away, drifting into Taos over the Santa Ft trail in the spring of 1828. Three years later, be met Swing Young, a cap- tain of trappers, who' was preparing to lead a -party westward toward California. "Ostensibly , the ' men - sought vengeance): against hostile Apaches. Actually they sought tha contraband fur of the beaver.. Kit, . convincing Young that he would be a valuable addition to tha buck skinned cavalcade.: distinguishes himself by killing two medicine men in the first brush .with the dread -Apacha. , Through tha hot summer - the - trail - breakers - toil across the lonely desert toward the Colorado River and California. , V CBJfffEB IV '' - There were, times when Ewing .Young' looked curkmsly at .Kit Car son across the camp fire. "By the smitten look of yon, lad, he would say; "and were we a hun dred miles nearer a woman, I'd swear your were in love." i'r J,: -' Kit would start, try not to red- den. - Then the trappers, lounging, - mending tattered buckskin trousers . or scraping pelts around the. fire, -' would laugh at his youthful, dis- eomfitnre. 'ri-'","TJ--e-'i1-'r ' ' 1 But when they slept afterthelonr day's- huntinr' on the Sacramento. Kit stole from camp. Beyond a knoll - waited the Maid, whinnying -with love for the box he came to her, V Softly at first, and then hastening, they hurried over the plain to the .-outhwest -iym' " Six hours he would ride.' Then the plain showed sv long low dwelling . , of fat-roofed adobe, like the bouses of Taos. Kit sprang from the Maid, leaving the bridle trailing, and hur ried into the shadow of the cast. Many dogs around the ranchbouse stirred and Were silent, knowing Kit who brought.- then beaver - meat, i: sharing the conspiracy of romance. . "Ai-eee, .
