The men sought beaver fur which was then to commerce what gold was later to become. Fighting the Apache, harried by Mexican authorities, ambushed by the Mojave redskins, adding always to their store of thick pelts the i party reached Los Angeles before they returned to Taos. For one V? brief week Kit knew riches and revelry. At length, "111 never be . such a tarnation fool again," vowed ; ; Kit, nor was he, In the fall of 1830 ' . Kit rode again with a band of trap-'-pers who followed what would "later be the Oregon traiL Snow and Blackfeet Indians-halted them in the region which was later to become part of Wyoming. It was during a brush with the Indians v that Kit first caught sight of the - beautiful maid. Pine Needle, whose . father, the mighty Chief Red Bear, , " he was so soon to meet in personal . ' combat, - CHAPTER Vlir : ' ! Kit fired. The chief of the Black- feet pitched forward. The arrow . , a trained upon Kit broke under him. Juan, the Indian boy 'Kit had brought from Oregon, ran forward " ' with his knife and took the scalplock of Red Bear. V ' , . 1 Kit was furious. -"That's1 plain - onchristian," he . - scolded. . , . But he was thinking ; of the girl in white doeskin who had i ridden beside this chief. And he ' thought uneasily, "She'll hear of this. Tales travel faat among the - Indiana. Shell think I'm to blame." : They waited all day and night be . fore the grove, but the chiefless In dians remained hidden., The trap pers made litters of long poles and ;r buffalo hides to swing between - horses for the wounded men. Trap-- per-fashion they sucked dean the l' wounds, bandaging them with the inner bark of sycamore." Jacques, 7 the French Canadian, had been shot in the right leg, evidently with a !olson arrow. During the day the imb awe 11 ad and discolored. I "That leg's comics; off, said Kit grimly. : - Even Jacques could not protest He pulled a deerskin robe over his face and bit its stiff folds as his friends worked to save him. Kit's hunting knife, an ax to break the bone, a blade heated white by fire to cauterize the wound, and the thing .was over. When the awful task was done, Kit was nearly as spent as the man wnose me ne naa saved. "I seen that done once on-the Santa Fe trail," he told the men, "I was a sprout of sixteen and I did the ..cauterizing. Injun arrows can be more pixoness than a dozen rattlers and Gua monsters put together." He brought his men safely back to Captain Fitzpatrkk's camp on the Arkansas. Through the remaining months of that winter, thoughta of the scalped chief troubled Kit. To kfll an Indian was white man's work if the Indian deserved killing. But to scalp him later was, as Kit often said, plain 'onchristian." Only later when bounty was put on Indian locks did white men take up the savage prae- It was the Indian girl's hearing of this he dreaded. Already his men had given him a new title that would be spread throughout the plains, "The ATenger,- a ne wing n wu .a?n wonid be laid to nun. . . . Indian troubles thickened around them. The death of Red Bear would be avenged by the Elackfeet nation, r TV.VJl at eren with US sure," Eit told Fitzpatrick "We'd better Lni a new camp for t rtagfunU L- FcrriJ be good after thiaeold i"-W asi we dont want to spend 4- Fllackf eet. - f v .mnl in a spread ox r'-tbrssh under a green hi J in '..'-T "d Kit. not certain the t Indians would not follow, t VtC3 tsrses forelegs to prevent . 2.

"They haven't any of our horses, Cap'n. I hobbled 'em 1" And truly, at dawn the horses Were found safe in the sagebrush and with them was an extra horse standing over his dead master a Blackfeet warrior killed by the guard's rifle. Kit knew Indian trickery and could match them trick for trick. Now he. said, "We'd better get at least a hundred miles away." Moving up Green River they were watched on every side by hidden eyes. But the beaver pelts were rich and full that year and otter plenti ful.' They set traps defiantly and cursed the Blackfeet who emptied them in the darkness of night By day they saw on the mesas the smoke of Indian signal fires. They did not leave camp except in sets of twelve. ! Kit led such a band into an am bush of sixty Blackfeet His mind trained by much danger to work instinctively aa an animal's saved them.' Without; halting their pace, he raced with his men the gantlet of savages and only two of the trap pers were slightly wounded by ar rows. ;i ..'! . ' ':; "Saved our scalps, narrer shave 1" Kit reported to Fitzpatrkk. The memory of the beautiful rirl continued to puzzle Carson. The Blackfeet was one of the most brut ally savage of tribes. What was she doing among them? Another day he found : twenty beavers building a dam. This was a piece of rich good luck, and the trap pers waded into the dam killine the furry toilers with clubs. Kit glanced anxiously at the sun. "Must be about four o'clock." he laid, -No time to akin 'em. Well cache the lot and come back tomor- To cache such a Urge haul re quired great skill. Kit had learned the art from French Canadian trap pers wao tooK it xrora tbe Indiana. The men dug a pit on the river bank. laid in their beaver, and carefully covered the hole with the sod. Then all waa dusted with earth and care fully blown so not a human print should show. ; Kit surveyed the ground admiringly. . ' . m w iiiuk luiwtcacoci ne saia..- -..' .--.- , But when they returned next dav the cache had been rified-ha rich fur was gone. So Kit Carson swore eternal warfare on the Blackfeet tribe. Then Fitxpatrick gave him eleven -men and wished him God speed. Over rolling mesas and rreen prairies in this spring of 1832 rode Kit Carson, "The Avenger." Between criss-cross of buffalo trail he perceived the "Indian sign." xne twelve trappers reached great village. - . 1 ' - oiacjueei: saw But, Bis eyes agieam, ' i . - ;. rrom the buffalo hide tepees, women and children ran wailing.

Dealings were slnggua through out, with transfers for the fire hours totaling 599,215 shares against 34,(04 the day before. The Associated Press average of SO a t o c k s was unchanged at 51.7, duplicating thes stalemate of Wednesday. The domestic news : icture was more encouraging than other wise, and no particular appre henatnn waa shown over foreign affairs. But brokers found their clients indifferent to what little stimulus appeared. j ips but Ends Unchanged CHICAGO, March 2P)-The wheat market was called - upon today to absorb increased selling after yesterday's advance of al most a cent but it did so with only minor price reactions " and closed only slightly lower. Increased pressure based par tially on slight declines at Liver pool and more optimistic crop renorts from the domestic south west was met by good buying 93 She faltered in her fierce tirade. Her face was suddenly humbled, as if afraid. "I am Red Bear's daughter," ahe said, "You killed my father." Was she ? Kit would never know the truth from her. Pine Needle was her name among the Blackfeet But Kit who would know many tribes, would swear ahe was white. Many white women were to be found among the Indian tribes that roved the continent in the past cen tury. Some had been kidnapped and were held for ransom. Some were married or adopted into the tribes. Many a pioneer mother who, died in the great trek westward left a child to be reared by the redsldnned people. I " .,; ; There were famous, cases. Kit himself as a boy hadseen, while crossing the Rio Grande on his way to Chihuahua, a white girl in an Apache band who hid at his -approach. Many white women were ransomed but fled from civilization back to husbands who were chiefs and babes half -Indian. In the six ties there would be the famous case of" Cynthia Ann Parker, stolen at the age of nine by Comanches who , massacred her family in Texas. For decades, Cynthia Ann was a legend in the Southwest. Citizens and sol- ; diers tried in vain to rescue her. The white girl fled from them. Cynthia Ann became the mother of Quartan, the last of the great Comanche chieftains. And there were more - ancient cases. As early as the year 1170, three hundred Welsh men and women came to America. They van ished. But it is said that Welsh words are to be heard in the Modoc dialects of Oregon. Also, what be- -came of the colony founded in 1585 in Virginia by Sir Walter Raleigh, that vanished lea vine behind the: single word "Roanoak" carved on a tree? In red streams crossinr our con- ; tinent, much white blood has mingled. : i , Kit Carson would often wonder. recalling Pine Needle as she stood now, like a peeled white willow wand before the darker Blackfeet women, defying Kit and his avengers. Her lack of fear deliahted him. He knew the trick of it firhtinsr down fear, feeling only contempt! " In this mood she waa Indian. "I like your atumntion. ami." he told her with the smile that had won women's hearts from Taos to Call- ' fornhv. f : ' Her answer was like a hiss. ' Scalper!" ,; - "Listen here.' ma'am." Kit nro- i tested, shocked. "I didn't do that to your pa. Scalpin's a dirty Injun . trick." - ... - Instantly he was horrifW. The blue eyes in the tanned golden face i blazed.- "WeB.

Kit's answer deepened their in dignation. . : "How waa X to know he was her pal" :; .v --,... i ... ...... . - She was beautiful, and she had uenea nun, Kiding back to the Green River camp. Kit warred with hia thoughta. Probably ahe waa In. dian!

Antntn. 4 been the first fur trader out of old ' laoa. (xne rort Sobidoux, which he founded in 1832 In Colorado, -was the pioneer American trading post beyond the Great Divide. Later, with Kit Carson, Antoine would serve as interpreter with General Kearny in California in 1848.) The two bands joined and rode to gether toward the great summer rendezvous where all the trappers of the Southwest would gather to sell their furs to the traders from St Louis. .
