CHAPTER IX— Continued

when one saw the feverish flush In
his thin cheeks and observed the
heavy weariness of his eyes. “ But
It’s worry, rather than fatigue, that’s
bothering me. Damme, Webster! It’s
hard faring when I can't keep on a
horse when I believe I’m needed, but
can ride across two counties without
discomfort when a dance with a pretty
lady Is the objective."
I turned with him towards his
wagon and he rested a hand on my
shoulder, not for support but In simple
friendliness, and I prompted, “ You
worry. Colonel?"
“ The regulars," be replied In a low
voice. “ They have no Idea what bush-
fighting means.” Then he caught him
self and his voice was that of nn offi
cer as he warned, “ But that Isn't to
be talked about The riflemen will
scout against a surprise.” We were
at the wagoD and 1 would hnve liked
to have given him a hand over the
tail-board, but knew belter.
Early that evening the word was
passed that SL Clair was to push for
ward at once a strong force so as to
make both fords secure. For some
reason he abandoned this plan, which
might hnve eliminated all chances of
a massacre. Perhaps General Brad
dock opposed It, although I was after
ward told by Captain Orme that
Braddock never passed upon IL
Could we have but known that night
what had gone on In Duquesne the
entire history of this country might
have read differently; always provid
ing we had taken advantage of our
knowledge. As It transpired Inter,
the de Normaoville brothers on July
eighth reported to Beaujeu that our
army was eighteen miles from the
fo r t Beaujeu at once, In a desperate
mood, harangued the Indians. The
red men told him he was mad to
propose an attack on such nn army

venture but did ask a day In which to
tlllo k i!ver_.hls bold. project. .T im s,
with Colonel Washington, the com
mandant at Duquesnes wns gloomily
facing the hours that separated bitn
from July ninth, the day he was to
accomplish so much for France and
leave a memory that was soon to be
forgotten I
But he knew nothing of all this, and
Sir John did not take steps to make
the double crossing of the Mononga
hela sufe. However. General Brad
dock did realize the necessity of doing
In part what Sir Peter Hulket hud
urged him to do thoroughly, and at
three of the clock of the morning of
the ninth sent Gage forward to se
cure the two crossings and io hold
the farther shore of the second until
the army should come up.
Round Paw and I were awake when
this detnchinent started and we did
not go back to sleep again. Cromlt
had found Simon Flax among the
wagons and had Joined his mpss. At
four o’clock In the morning St. Clair
followed after Gage with the road
builders. Braddock posted four hun
dred men on the surrounding heights
and started for the first crossing at
six In Ihe morning.
Round Paw and I acted as scouts,
although It has been erroneously
charged that Braddock had no scouts
o u t Such statements are absurd. The
entire army. Including the wagons
und guns, made the first crossing
without any hindrance; and It did
seem ns If the road to Duquesne was
open before use. We marched in order
of battle to the second ford, and saw
nothing of the enemy. Gage had car
ried out his Instructions, and the last
crossing was clear and the prize was
almost w ithin our grasp.
A band of twenty of the enemy's
Indians had been seen, hut these had
run away In fright. It lacked an hour
before midday when we reached the
second crossing, hut It was not until
two hours later that the banks were
pronounced safe for the artillery and
the wagons. In another hour the
army had passed this ford.
“ I'll do as you ask. mister; but be
fore the fighting begins. If there Is
any, 1 want to see you a minute. If
there's sure to be fighting, come back
to me. I'll be near the first wagon.”
“ I f It Is possible, I’ll do that,” 1
agreed, glad to make any terms that
would Insure her safety.
There was some delay In starting,
although the drums had pouuded out
the “ long march.” It seems that Gen
eral Braddock wished to examine the
Bush creek shore personally before
breaking camp. Now my hopes were
high again ; but, alas I The precipitous
bunks Impressed him as being too
much of an obstucle to overcome now
we were so close to the fort. And
during the few minutes he walked
along the bonks and scowled at the
rugged shore over the stream the fate
of un army and of a continent were
decided.
1 felt a great regret that the ridge
road was not followed, but I fully be
lieved the river road would, at the
most, cost some lives. It was not
given to the Onondaga, nor even to
the wltch-glrl, to read the next few
hours.
It was near midday before we got
In motion. Gist was already out with
the Delawares. Round Paw, Cromlt
and I took to the woods together, but
quickly separated and scouted toward
Turtle creek. When we came back to
camp that night we made the some
report—no signs of any enemy In
dians in numbers. Our Delawares had
exchanged shots with a few French
Indians but no scalps were brought In.
During the day the army had fol
lowed the volley of Long Run for a
distance of about eight miles In a
southwesterly course, so slowly did we
move, and had made camp on tlie^slope
between the Monongahela and a rivu
let called Crooked Run. Throughout
the night the wagons kept coming In.
oncl Washington arrived and I'nsl.^feS
on exchanging the covered wagon for
a horse. He showed his Illness very
plainly and was not fit to be In the
saddle. Ho was a young man, younger
than I, and yet his face was very
grave. I saw him when he went to
participate in a council with the cotn-
niander and the field officers. I wns
waiting near when he came from the
conference In company with Sir Peter
Halket. Sir Peter's visage was very
melancholy and not good for the reg
ulars to see. The two of them ended
their conversation close by me, and as
I wns there first there wns no rea
son why I should plug my ears.
Sir Peter said:
“ 1 urged upon him to have every
foot of the ground examined, und you
heurd what he replied: that he re
fused to lose time beating the forest
for red Indians as Highland hunters
heat the woods In driving out game.
But, methinks, we could well take a
lesson from these same Highland
hunters.”
" It w ill be a great fault If we do
not seize the fords, at the least,” sold
Colonel Washington. “ Even were that
done there w ill remain much danger.
The French w ill never abandon Du
quesne without making a fig h t But
we must have good courage. The
French Indians do not want to fig h t
Out only danger w ill oe in a panic

“ You may dismiss that fear,*' Sir
Peter haughtily replied. “ His MaJ
esty's Guard? know their duty too well,
thunk God I If the provincials w ill
hold, there need tie no fear concern
ing the soldierly qualities of the
Guards.”
“ I aiu convinced the provincials w ill
hold, Sir Peter," crisply assured Col
oncl Washington.
Thereupon they parted with cere
monious hows, and Colonel Washing
tou beheld me for the first time. He
greeted me warmly, as an old friend.
I bad to tell him my experience as a
guest of Captain Bennjeu, and he re
quested me to repeal what the cap-
lain had snld about laying an ambus
cade nt the crossings. When I had
finished, he »aid:

The Onondaga and I were 'in ad
vance and halted to watch this final
passage of the river. For the benefit
of any French scouts the troops had
been ordered on dress parade. It was
a wonderful spectacle, and my heart
beat high with pride. Round Paw
sounded his “ Yo-hah!” as he gazed
on the soldiers wearing their best uni
forms and carrying arms that shone
like silver. To add to our enthusiasm,
the colors were waving and the drums
were rolling out the "‘Grenadiers’
March.”
As the disciplined files stendlly ap
proached, long lines of scarlet and
gold, I could not believe the sturdy
fellows ever would be thrown Into
confusion let Beaujeu act as cun
ningly and audaciously as be m ight
As they came on. It was easy to pro
nounce them Inexorable of purpose,
a relentless war machine that could
not be stopped. That last passage of
the river was the high point of my
hopes: the Lilies over Duquesne were
as good as down. In this brave and
Inspiring fashion was the bulk of the
army drawn up In battle array near
the Frazier cabin.
There would be no fight, 1 said to
the Onondaga. He muttered:
“ The mun of the Wolves sees only
red painL”
I remembered my promise to the
Dlnwold girl, and as there might be a
skirmish between our rangers and the
retreating enemy I went back to the
wagons. She was waiting for me be
hind the covered wagon In which
Colonel Washington had overtaken the
army.
“ We’ll be In the fort before sunset,"
I hurriedly told her. "1 must get
back to be among those who go
ahead."
“ I f I could go with you—’’
“ Remember your promise,” I rebuked
her. “ I have come as I said I would.
Now do you keep back with the wag
ons. There may be a few bullets fly
ing about the head of the army. And
Just why did you want to see me,
little woman?”
She flushed and then lost her color,
and whispered:
“ There Is a shroud around the man
Cromlt. I wanted you to come hack
to see if one had grown about you.”
She stared at me as If looking
through me and at something far be
yond; then she gave a little lough and
winked back the tears and In great
relief murmured:
“ You have no shroud. Thank the
good God for tliaL The Onondaga—"
“ Put no shroud on him,” I hastily
Interrupted. "F or If you do, and he
knows It, he would feel bound to get
himself killed.”
" I say nothing about the Indian.
Kiss me, mister.”
That kiss wns most unreal, like
something happening in a dream, and
yet I found it greatly to my likin g ; a
fact that surprised me much. She
was so abrupt In her demand—It wns
had obeyed and was hurrying back to
the Onondaga before I had fully an
alyzed my emotions.
Round Paw spoke to me sharply,
and I did not understand what he
said. He trotted off and I followed
him.
“ My white brother Is as one who
lias talked with ghosts,” be told me
over his shoulder.
The order of march from the sec
ond ford had the guides and engineers
and six light horse following the
scouts. Gage's detachment and the
working party under St. Clair came

and a subaltern proudly lending
twenty grenadiers, one twelve-pounder

The vanguard proper followed, and
behind It came the a rtillery and
wagon-trains, and the rearguard.
Flanking parties were out on both
sides.
I saw nothing of Cromlt and had
time only to wave my hand to Bushy
before the Onondaga had led me
around a bend In the road. At that
time General Braddock with the main
army was well back toward the ford,
und the advance column of some three
hundred men was well-advanced be

Half-way be
