CHAPTER I
Beginning the Red Road
Tbt home town looked the mm a
when 1 lost made for Shooter's Hill,
fleeing from tht Ignominy of being lit
tle hotter than a pauper. It wa two
yean Hoc I had boon In Virginia, and
thera were curtain outstanding dobt
which made It embarrassing for m to
return.
While the fair wort being hold In
May and October, all persons coming
to Alexandria would be exempt from
arreat and execution. And It was
Dot yet Maytlrne, and I wa back with
out road belt, a my red friend, the
Onondaga, would atyt Immunity from
annoyance, I risked great humiliation,
but there are certain thing a man
must do despite bit pride; and I had
returned because aomethlng larger
than my personal wolfur wa con
earned.
However, I consoled myself with re
numbering that much mountain water
bad flowed down the Potomac Unc
my hnsty departure, and that all the
colonic were in th midst of stirring
time; that the extravagance of Web
ter Ilrond would be forgotten now w
were at the throat of Franc once
mora,
Th coming in of many wronger
permitted me to remain unnoticed. So
It wa that my long leggings, my
fringed hunting ililrt with It broad
cipe, my moccasin and long rifle, my
as beside the hunting knife In my em
broidered belt, gave me assurance
against recognition until I should re
veal my Identity when I delivered my
new to Governor IMnwIddle.
H wa not from choice that I hid
left my Onondaga comrade over the
mountain and com to town, although
the old fulse pride which had prompt
ed my flight bad been washed out by
much rough faring and many a des
perate plight. It w love for th col
ony that bad drawn m back.
I cam fresh from Fort Duqnesn
nd Bhanoppln, from th distant Ohio
country where th English were but
little known, and where the name of
Droulllon, La for a, de Vllllers, Jumon
vllle, snd other of th French, al
ready were o many war cries smong
th Indian along th Monongahela
nd the Allegheny.
Throughout the hurried Journey
back to Alexandria. I bad told my
self th past was dead, that "Mack"
Brand, the forest-runner, wa entirely
apart from young Webster Urond who
had taken eocb pride In ecrawling In
hi Cheever Latin Accidence hi
name with "OeoL affixed.
And now that I was crossing th
market-sqiisr and waa In time to
sea the Northern Mall, Just arrived
from Richmond, draw up before the
Royal George before continuing It
lumbering Journey over the king's
post-road to Ih north, I felt the call
of my ancestry and turned my steps to
Ui house which my father' lov for
hospitality and good cheer bad lost
to me. along with many rich acre.
Bom famllle are unfortunate in
roats-of arm and motoes. My people
hid been Inflicted with th family de
vice of an outstretched open hand. My
father by nature wa congenial and
convivial, prodigal with good cheer,
lie bad only needed the appellation
"Ilrond of the open band" to complete
hi Impoverishment. So many time
had I seen him set forth to dlipos
of bis crop; so ninny timet had I
greeted him on bl return with only
trifle left of the season's planting I And
so many time did I puff up with pride
when he explained hi light pocket
by saying t
"If duty we owe the name, lad.
We will plant more, but we will never
be niggardly."
' I thank' God he passed out before
tht crash came, that h never tasted
ih bitterness, and that It could be I
who wa forced to escape petty pros
ecution by flight Into th wilderness.
It would hav broken his kind heart
could h have known my estrangement
from my fellow.
It helped m much to And th place
deserted. To hav een other there,
where my father kept open house,
would bav grieved m eorely. I aent
my lov through the paneled door and
passed around to the blgb gat and
looked Into tht garden. Like th
house. It ihowed th lack of buman oc
cupancy, Th plan wa a riot of untrained
growth where once orderliness and
beauty Imd graced the winding paths.
All that was left to remind me of the
golden yesterday wa th aroma of
the sr.owy cherry blossoms.
Voice close by aroused me and I
turned from the ' gate. Despite my
rough schooling from Lake Erie duwn
to the Fall of th Ohio, my heart
went plt-a-pattlng, Just a It had when
I wrote ber name In my school book.
Tht fellow with her bad been my
boon companion. Ill powdered wig
end beruflled shirt, hit knee-breeches,
gold buckle and atlken bose put my
travel-stained garb to shame, and I
wa for turulng back to the gate. Rut
I saw a hint of amusement In their
curious glance; and, conquering my
weakness, I swept off my ragged fur
bat with an almna! forgotten grac
nd called myself more vividly to
their attention. Busby stared haughti

Often had I laughed at hla patron

thought I wa staring too long and

"Joe and I are to be married, Web

I smiled and went through th form
of congratulating them, but there wa
a atab In my heart Not that I bad
expected to carry a girl' lov In my
breast during two year of roughing

crlmion and angry.
"Yon thould not talk that way,"
the coldly admonished Busby.

Robert Bonner, for whom Bonner

publisher, was th first to use full

When Edward Everett wss raising

and a like sum to the fund. II also
startled tht literary world by buying

ceremonious bow. Th little lady saw
everything and wltb Impulslv frank

Belting my band for a brief mo
ment ah softly murmured:
"W were very young. 1 did not
know. Look out for blm on tb
march.''
And wltb another hurried little
curtsy th wa walking out of my
life, wltb Busby mumbling and mut
tering In ber small ear possibly ask
ing to be told what confidence tb
bad Imparted to me,
1 silently (aid farewell to tb
bouse of tb open bond and turned
back to the market-square.
I bav said tb town wa tht (am;
and to It wa to far a tb yellow,
white and red chimneys were con
cerned, for '.her was tht same pro
portion of dim and fat ones. But It
was In physical aspect alone that tb
town remained unclisnged, for th llf
of th streets was vastly different.
There were cannon along the wharf,
and there were cannon hauled op to
the post-road. There was a frantic
passing back and forth of a new pop
ulation. As I loitered before the
Royal George, I waa crowded and
Jostled rudely by a great bustling of
people.
At Gadsby'a across the way built
three year before by Lord Fairfax
from English bricks was tbt samt
lively animation. Squads of soldiers
In scarlet coota scarlet for an In
dian campaign when tht forest wa
II a lush green wer being maneu

boars guidance of veteran sergeants.
The long rifle I waa leaning opoo
made by William Henry of Lancaster,
soon to be Braddoek' armorer wu
In decided contrast to tb Brown Be
carried by tb oversea soldiery. Bare
ly thl waa tb finest army England
bad ever sent across tb Atlantic,
and most surely there wss nothing st
Duquesne to prevent tb capture of
tbe French fort
And yet experience wa teaching
o of tb colonic that tb English
musket wu not an effective weapon
In the deep woods.
These soldiers of Brsddock's, so
confident of overrunning the beada of
the Ohio, wer not taught to aim tbelr
weapons, but to point them In tb
general direction of tb enemy and
to discharge tbem In volley. W of
the woods considered, every bamaa
target we fired at to b a distinct
problem; and God knows tb target
wa small enough wben consisting of
Huron, or soy of th Far Indians, or
even the French who bad campaigned
with the red- savages.
There wu a rattle of wheel. It
waa General Braddoek, riding In tbe
coach be had bought of Governor
Sharp of Maryland.
I barely glimpsed blm, a heavy
stolid man, whose etrong visage
seemed to lower on th gaping on
lokera. Then b wu gone, comman
der In chief of all bis majesty'a force
In North America. He Impressed me
being self willed and self-dependent
and on who would be Intoler
ant of any advice. It wa commonly
known that he wu displeased t th
manner In whlcb the campaign wa
progressing rather, falling "to pro
gress. The capture of Fort Duquesne
waa not bothering blm, but to get bl
army under way wa proving to be
a most Irritating problem. Nor could
one blnme him for tht needles da
lays, the lack of funds, th wrangling
between the colonies.
But w all knew bow General
Braddoek bad failed to comprehend
local conditions. II seemed unable to
grasp th fact whlcb w of America
all knew namely, that th great
mass of I'ennsylvanla cltlxens was
opposed to aoy aystem of taxation
that did not Include tb proprietaries;
nd that tb Quaker wer avers to
voting any money for military pur
poses. Ua only knew that promised
supplies wer lacking, that recruits
wer coming In very slowly, and that
tb Indian thus far bad not Joined
