"Advles from Paris," continued the
governor, "state that the Pretender
hat been called to the I-ouvre on two
occasions for secret conference. The
duke of Rerwlck Is gone to Spain 'tin
reported to arrange for contingent of
troops. Waster Ormemd will under
stand the seriousness of such news.
"I need not acquaint yon with the
preparatloni the French are making
nou this continent, but It niny Inter
est f ou to know that the duke of New
castle has been pleased to write me,
remonstrating over my Inability to get
lone better with the prominent men
cf the province. Thla I deem most slg
Bificant, for It Is no more than the
voice of Murray speaking through the
medium of his grace's pen.
"I am In an Impasse, gentlemen. In
London a corrupt ministry Is more In
terested In the spoils of office than In
Intelligent rule. In New York a pow
erful coterie of merchants, who have
discovered a way by which, they are
persuaded, they can all grow rich In
. a few years, have permitted them
selves to become the active tools of
n Ingenious mind whlrh would pur
chaw the return of the Stuarts at the
prloe of handing over to French rule
the British domain In North America.
"My n4( reliance today Is upon a
few personal friends like yourselves
and the political keenness and mili
tary energy of the Iroquois.
"What I am about to say la of the
Vtmost Importance to Ta-wan-ne-ars
and his race. You have heard me ad
mit my Impotence. You know that the
rule of the English la In danger. Will
you. Ta-wan-ne-ars, go with my am
bassadors. Master Ormerod and Peter
Oorlaer. to the Ho-yar-na-go-war. the
council of the roy-an-ehs, and sup
port them In asking for the Interven
tion of the Long House to smash the
Doom Trail and Murray's conspiracy
to win control of that fur-trade from
our bandar
Ta-wan-ne-ars rose and his right
arm went np In the Iroquois salnte.
Ta-wan-ne-ars will do as Ga-en-g-wa-ra-go
asks," bla deep voice
boomed.
Governor Burnet drew a deep breath
f relief.
T thank yon. my brother," he said.
You bave relieved the load of sor
rows I have carried. I ask yon this,
you understand, not alone as a favor,
an act of friendship, but because, as
I think, your people will come to be
lieve when they consider It that the
access of Murray's plot will mean the
crushing of the Long House by the
french. By the wy. Golden, where
b the Belt of the Covenant Chain r
Tbe surveyor general drew from a
traveling trunk In a corner a band of
tjrsmpum about three feet along and
eight Inches wide. Crudely woven Into
ft In different colored beads were tbe
Bgnrea of an Indian and a white man
with hands Joined. The governor ex
amined It curiously.
"This belt was given to me by To-Bo-da-hq,"
he said, turning to me. "He
kade me, at any time I required speech
'lth him or desired his friendship and
assistance, to send It to Mm a a re
minder of his pledge of alliance. I
entrust It In your hands. Master Or
Bierod."
Several hours later, when the lights
f Albany were gleaming through the
Ight, the governor said good-by to us
at a sally-port. He offered no parting
advice. Indulged In no rounded homl
Uea. That was not his way. He had
laid all his cards before us on the
table; he had tnken us completely Into
tils confidence ; he had told us how
much depended upon our effort. He
was content with that.
We set our feet to the Great Trnll
and made camp toward morning In the
wooda beyond Sc henectady, deeming It
best not to show ourselves In the set
tlements. -
Our Journey was uneventful. We
rapidly traversed the Mohawk and
Oneida countries, and came presently
to Ka-na-ta-go-wa, the seat of the
eomicll-flre of the Orent League, where
To-do-da-ho dwelt. To-do-da-ho him
aelf was a wrinkled wisp of a man who
would have seemed a corpse as he
Crouched down, burdened with heavy
robes, but for the warm brightness of
Eli eyes that glowed from under
beetling brows.
He made me welcome In a speech
Of high-sounding phrases, which Ta-wan-ne-nrs
translated; and I replied
is best I could through the same me
dium, confining my remarks to expres
loni of the honor I felt In being so
received and the affection In which the
roy-an-eh and his people were held by
the governor. We smoked the cere
monial pipe as usual, and the council
broke up.
The real business was transacted
the next day when we three had speech
privately with To-do-da-ho, and I gave
him the Belt of the Covenant Chain
and the message of the governor. He
beard me out In eUence, and sat for
while smoking, his eyes fixed on
vacancy. This was bla answer I
D.HOWDEN SMITH
PORTO 5ELLO OOLD ETC
coevaiaHT $r bs!.ktanos
"What Ga-en-gwa-ra-go saya by your
mouth Is so. I have watched with un
easiness the efforts of the Frencn to
control the fur trade. So have nmhy
of our wise men, but most of our
people are busy with their hunting and
other affnlrs and they do not consider
such matters. In this they are much
like the white people,
"Oa-en-gwa-rago says that It la to
the Interest of the people of the I,ong
House to break down the Doom Trnll.
I agree with htm. But Ga-en-gwa-ra-go
Is a ruler of men, and he knows It Is
nlways difficult to Induce a people to
take a difficult course of action unless
the suggestion conies from their midst.
My counsel to you Is that you continue
on along the Great Trail to the coun
try of the Seneeaa. and give the mes
sage of Ga-en-gwa-ra-go to Iwne-ho-ga-weh,
the Guardian of the Western
Door.
"The Frenchman I Venlle has
taken away the daughter of lo-ne-ho-ga-weh.
and you tell me that he has
used her to set np a foul religion
amongst the renegade Keepers of the
Doom Trail. Murray Is equally guilty
with De Veulle In this matter. Do-ne-ho-ga-weh
has a Just cause for ven
geance against them."
"Will you support Do-neho ga-weh
In a demand for an expedition agaluat
the Doom Trull V I asked.
"I will," he replied.
There was no more to be said, and
we resumed our Journey that day. We
sent messengers on ahead of ns, and
traveled leisurely, arriving at De-o-nun-da-ga-a
on the sixth day after
starting from Ka-na-ta-go-wa.
The splendid old Guardian of the
Western Door, attended by his coun
selors and retainers, met as at the vil
lage limits and escorted as to the
council-house, where there was high
feasting and a rendition of the dance
which is used to open counctla or wel
come ambassadors.
Then Ta-wan-ne-ars translated my
message from the governor and the ad
vice of To-do-da-bo. "Two things may
le done, O roy-an-eh," I concluded.
"Ga-en-gwa-ra-go might take op the
hatchet against the French on behalf
of Go-weh-go-wa and destroy the new
fort at Jngara, or the People of the
Long House might descend upon the
Keepers of the Trail and destroy La
Vlerge du Bols and Ita wickedness.
For Ga-en-gwa-ra-go to take np the
hatchet would mean a long war, with
much bloodshed, even If his people
would bey him. For the People of
the Long House to smash the Itonm
Trail would mean the use of one large
war party and at most a few weeks on
the warpath. If the Doom Trail Is
smashed yon need not worry over the
fort at Jagara, for wltb Murray gone
Ga-en-gwa-ra-go can soon control bis
own people, and we. will dispose of
Joncalre In due time. Tla for you to
choose."
"Yo-hayT ("I have heard I have
understood") answered I o-neho ga
weh. "I am much pleased that To-do-da-ho
suggested you should come to
me. It Is true, as he says, that the
People of the Long House will be more
eager to light If the appeal Is made to
I hem by one of their own leaders. I
will make such an appeal.
"We will summon a council of the
Senecas to meet tomorrow. I will pre
sent what you have told me to them.
We will send out belts to the Cuyu
gas, the (tnondngas, the Oneldus, the
Tusearoras. the Mohawks. Yon shall
come with me to the Ilo-ynr nn go-wiir
and hear me make good my promises.
"Nalio!"
CHAPTER XIII
The Council of the Roy-An-Ehs
The statesmen and warriors of the
Senecas had come by hundreds to at
tend the tribal council at De-o-nun-da-III
). They squatted In serried ranks
around the open place In the middle
of the village where stood the gn-on-dote,
or war post, where public as
semblies were held, where war parties
gathered when setting olT upon exie-
Gold Varie in Color;
Strictly speaking, gold Is not yellow
In color. It merely appears ao, but,
being a metnl and generally with a
bright surface, It nets as a reflector
and throws back quite a tot of the
white light that fulls on It, according
to the Philadelphia Record.
This reflected while light, which Is
not purt of the color of gold, dilutes
the metal's real color, making It ap
pear yellow. The real color of the
gold, metallurgists say, Is a deep or
ange, entirely different from the fa
miliar yellow.
But this precious metnl baa other
colors as well as yellow and orange.
Ground Into a fin powder pure gold
becomes ruby red.
Everybody has seen this ruby color
at ona time or another, though tbey
dltlons, where prisoners were tortured
and victories were celebrated.
The ceremonies were brief and were
divided Into two sessions upon differ
ent days. The first session was occu
pied mainly by the pech of IH-ne-ho-ga-weh,
explaining why he had
summoned the council and pleading
Air authorisation of the sending of
belts to the other nations of the
League so that the Ho-yar-na-go-war
might be convened.
"You have heard my cause, 0 my
people," he framed bis peroration,
"You know that the French have rav
ished one of the fairest daughtera of
the tribe. Yon know that I have been
deeply wronged. You know that at
Jagura, onjand which Is our land ai
much as that on which you now sit,
the French are building a fort, and
that they boast It will be a chain by
which they will html us In the future.
"You know that ever since Onontlo
came to Quebec the French have been
our enemies, and the English have
been our friends. You know that these
men, Murray and De Venlle, who have
stolen my daughter, who have debased
our ancient religion, who have deluded
so many of the white men, who have
built the foul nest of fiends who guard
the Doom Trull, are the servants of
the French.
"I ask you for vengeance. ' I ask yon
for the right to go before the llo-yur-nn
go-war. I speak with a straight
tongue. I have witnesses by me. One
Is my nephew, Ta-wan-ne-ars, You
know him. The other Is a brother of
the Wolf clan. They have found the
secret of the Doom Trail, and they
will lead our warriors to It.
"If you will follow them, O my
people, you will gain rich spoils and
take many scalps. The cries of your
captives will delight your ears. Your
families will be proud of you.
"Na-ho !"
The council broke np Into separate
councils of the five clans of the tribe.
After the clan councils had cones to
agreement, the roy-an-ehs of the sev
eral clans, as ainikesmen, met and
reached a Joint agreement. Their re
sponse was made at the second session
of the tribal council on the following
day by Ca ne-o-dl yo of the Turtle
clan, the senior roy-an-eh of the tribe.
"It Is the Judgment of the council
that belts be svnt to the brother na
tions for the meeting of the Ho-yar-na-go-war.
Let the counselors of the
people decide what course Is best"
That night the messengers were dis
patched, and as they passed from na
tion to nation, the People of the Long
House stirred with exoctancy.
On the heels of the messengers
flowed a steadily swelling stream of
men, women and children.
The delegates of the Senecas found
the Great Trail already choked with
humanity when they set out from Nun-da-wa-o
a week behind the messenger.
Senecas and Cayugas met and mingled
with Oneida. Tuscaroras and Mo
hawks, and Onnndugas viewed the ex
traordinary confluence of people with
grave Interest.
It must have been a week after oar
arrival that To-do-da-ho proclaimed the
meeting of the Ho-yar-na-go-war for
the next day. In the morning the del
egations of the Six Nations left their
headquarter!, and marched with slow
dignity to the council ground, a broad
meadow on the edge of the forest
above the river valley.
The del Iterations of the council were
begun, the direction of affairs passing
from the Keeper of th Wampum to
To-do-da-ho,
"We are met, O my brethren." be
gan the venerable Onondaga, "to de
cide whether or no w shall lift tbe
hatchet. Do-ne-ho-ga-wen speaks for
the Keeers of the Door who ask for
war."
There would be no point In repeat
ing Do-ne-ho-ga-weh's oration. It was
masterly, superior even to the address
by which be carried his own people
with him.
He explained succinctly the situation
which existed In N"w York. A Cayugn
responded, expressing amnzement that
the English, who were usually so sens
ible, should act In such a childish
mnnner. He concluded by asking If
the league might expect the help of
the English In an attack upon the
Doom Trnll.
This was the most difficult point we
had to overcome, and Do ne ho-ga-weh
replied with clrcumsiwctlon.
"It Is true, as my brother has snld,"
he answered, "that we might expert
the English 10 move with us In this
matter. Hut my friends among the
English send me word that their
people are blinded for the moment by
the falsities of Murray and the French.
Their councils are divided.
"(lu-en-gwii-ru-go would welcome
our action, and would support It and
protect us from the vengeance of
France. Hut he would find It difficult
to act himself."
"If Ga-en-gwa-ra-go will not act, why
should the Leugue actr" demanded the
Cayuga,
do n CONTINUED.)
It Not Really Yellow
may not have been aware that It wan
the color of gold they were looking at
It Is seen In the ruby glass used
for photographic dark-room lumps, the
minute particle of gold added to the
glass Impurtlng their deep color.
Wrong Way
Little Tommy had a sore ton, so
his mother thought this a good' op
portunity to muke him eat his cereal.
"Tommy," she snld, "If yu eul
your oatmeal, It will cure your toe.'
Shortly afterward Tommy came to hit
mother with a very disgusted air,
"I ate my cereal," he said, "but my
to isn't any better. I guns the dan
stuff went down tba wrong leg,".
