Zz DOOM TRAIL - B ,- Arthur D. Howden Smith wan ne-ars Uetloeraleiy. "ii it sue ceeds it will set buck the plans ol Ouontio and Murray.” ' ' "Andt If It does not, then you tell der gofernor Peter Corlaer tried once too often to get der Joke back on Jon­ calre.” With which sage comment, Peter took himself off to arrange with the post commandant for drawing certain supplies we, should require for this new expedition. Two hours later an express left Oswego with dispatches for Governor Burnet, describing the situation at Jagara and our experiences at La Vierge du Bois, as well as Lhe passage of Joucaires argosy of furs, the great­ est haul which had so fur been made by either country that year on the frontier. Before the gale was slamiund shut again we three slipped out and waver! good by to the garrison on the walls. Our advance was cautious, and we parted company with Cérlaer in some bushes, whence we could distinguish figures dancing around the flames and hear the distant yells of ♦.he guests of Joncalre as they euroused on his brandy. The Dutchman stripped to his belt. Ta-wan-ne-ars relived him of his musket, powder horn and bullet pouch, and 1 shouldered his clothes and pack. “By der blasted pine—a goodt mile beyondt der other side," whispered Peter as he waded into the water. “You are sure you can stay afloat so long?” I asked with some mis­ giving. “Ja," he said scornfully. "When you hear a noise like a fish rising three times, that is Peter.” He settled ktdfe and tomahawk against either tldgh, slung a spare flask of powder beside them, sank for­ ward to his chin and began to cleave the water with powerful, overhand strokes. "We must hurry, brother," admon­ ished Ta-wan-ne-ars. He started off at right angles with the path we had been following, and we fetched a circle around the group of fires, coming ultimately to a high point above the shore half a mile be­ yond them. Here we rested, both be­ cause our weurlness was very great and because we desired to witness Peter's exploit, amt, if need be, be prepared to aid him. It was past midnight, and the fires had burned low and the brandy drink­ ers soaked themselves stupid. Not a sound came to us, except for the call­ ing of a wolf from the heavy timber inshore aud the croaking of water- birds. 'Twas Ta-wan-ne-ars' eagle vision which saw the danger signal. He gripped my arm. "Look, brother,” he hissed. I looked, und a flame spurted up­ ward between the fires and the water. There was a sharp explosion. A long minute elapsed, und then a chorus of excited yells rose, dropped aud was sustained. We listened for ten minutes, and whilst the. yelling continued, with in­ termittent shooting, there was nothing to indicate triumph or sutisfuctlon. In the meantime: the flames which Peter hnd kindled, after flourishing grandly, gradually died out as the awakened savages' retrieved those canoes which.had.not caugiif fire and threw wnter on such as were only smoldering. Half an hour passed uneventfully. Then the steady lapping of the wajer uguinst the beach was disturbed by the splash a fish makes in risiqg. It was repeated twice. Ta-wan-ne-ars leaned over and splashed the water thrice with his hand. A grunt boomed out of the darkness. Ripples spread in a widening circle, aud a huge form stepped noiselessly ashore, ignoring our helping hands. "Oof, that was a goodt Joke on Jon- caire," muttered Peter. "Some canoes 1 smash with der ax andt some I blow up with der powder andt more are burnedt. Where are my clothes? 1 am soaked like der muskrat.” "You were long in coming," said Ta wan-ne-ars. “My brother is not hurt ?” “Neln. neln. Ooof, what a swim! I tell you I hafe bubbles under my skin! Ja!” "Did you damage them much?" I asked eagerly. Peter suspended the operation of struggling into his shirt und chuckled shrilly. “I would gife much to see der face of that Joncalre when he counts Ills canoes andt der fur packs he has left. Twice now we get der Joke ou him.” Wet as he was, with the water drip­ ping from Ills lank hair, he insisted upon quitting that dangerous locality at once. We tramped across country until the sun was high, and we slum bled upon an Isolated family of Onqu- dagas, who made us free of their ga­ no-sote.
