Brond jean hi friend and fellow acout. Round Paw, In dian chief, and thejr aet out. CHAPTER II Continued In silent companionship we followed the valley of the Shenandoah and crossed the fotomac two mile west of the Conocochesgue and made camp In a grove of oak a While the squir rels were broiling over the coals, Round Psw again renewed the white paint on hi chest It (truck me a peculiar that he should be so per Intent in making himself fit for war when for once the Western country was safe for the English and with but Uttle likelihood of the French and their red allies ever being able to bring as the red hatcbet The campaigns against Crown Point and Niagara might fall for a time, but the conquest of Duquesne was assured. With that stronghold In our bands, we should be treed from fear from the heads of the Ohio to Lake Erie. Even those Indians In western Pennsylvania who were inclined to belp the FrencO dare not take the warpath until they knew the outcome of Braddock' expe dition. So, If ever there was a time when the back-country settler felt warranted In staying by their rprtng crops snd leaving the blockhouses un occupied it was now. Tet Round Paw kept bis paint fresh and was most particular In dressing bis balr. At the risk of violating bis sense of etiquette, I remarked on the use lesmess of It all. Without ceasing his labor be told me: "Onas and Onontlo th governor of Canada ars on a red path that la very long. Mora than one bontlng snowmld October will com before the batchet Is burled." I did not believe It We wer np at sunrise and soon bad crossed the creek and turned north to make McDowell' place. W bad cov ered mile or so when we came upon a most Interesting spectacle. Two men. wltb horse-bells (round their neck and their srms tied behind them, were harnessed together wltb rawhide thongs, snd were being driven like a team of horses by a tall ungainly youth. The driver held the line In one band and flourished a drover's long whip In the other, tils light red dish balr escaped In all directions from his ragged fur hat and gave blm the appearance of being hugely sur prised. -What bar the men done?" I In quired, pausing and leaning on my rifle. "Ding them most mortally I But they've don enough." be cried, wltb Ide glance of curiosity at th Indian. "And I don't have to tell every wild man of the wood what fro doing, or why I'm doing It" "That true," I agreed. "But we can see what you're doing. My friend here ay they are Frenchmen and that ha believe you will boll and eat them." The poor devil set op a most dolor ous bowling. The redhead scowled wltb bis eyes and laughed with hi big mouth. Us hardly knew whether to approve of ns, or take otfeore. But the terror of bl prisoner decided him, and wltb a loud guffaw be cried : "That would be a fetching jok on th two of them I B'lled In a kettle I Lord's law I But they would look com ical jammed In a kettle I" Now that bis temper was softened he explained further: "These Infernal scoundrel (tola two bells from Ben the Great cove drover at the mill last night I'm working for him. The fools could 'a' got away If they'd know'd enough to bide the bells somewhere while they kept hid. But they took the bells along wltb them and I follered the noire and caught them early tbl morning. Now ihey'r taking th bell back. Whoa, hlshl Bland (till there, yoo devil, or I'll tan your Jacket nineteen to th dozen I" And to bind bl promise he cracked th whip and elicited a rare yell. "Id God great mercy, (It, belp osl" bleated the prisoner on the offside. "We was about to follow th Carlisle road bound for Philadelphia. W'd bar oo need for bell fter we'd reached Slitppensburg or Carlisle. Wa did but borrow them, would have of oaa found them waiting tor him when h came back." "Not need my bells, yon d d res eat I What would Philadelphia folk think of me driving horses along their road without bells? How would I Cud them If they strayed while I wa therer And b punctuated each query wltb a clever slush apiece. "If they stole your bell, yoo serva them right Thieve should be well whipped, so their welts will burn when tempted to steal again. We'll keep yoo company to the mill." Ue now took time to explain bow be bad hired out two daj before to go wltb the drover, who was driving some cattle through the Cart era set tlement. "I'm Balsar Cromlt" be added. "I live at the mill, or two miles below It, wltb Richard and John Craig. Made "I Told You Not to Do It, Ban It look bad when these rascal (tola th bell right after I took service wltb Ben. It hurt my feelings most dlngly." Our presence proved to be favor to the nigues, for Cromlt became so Interested In asking questions that be forgot to swing the whip, Tbst Cromlt bad great confidence In bis physical powers wss shown by bis eager offer to wager three months' pay against my powder-horn that be could outshoot me, outrun me or pin me to the ground In wrestling. "Too should be wltb Braddock' army," I told hltn. "Three pounds If yon enlist. A One red coal and a flue new musket" "A rifle' worth more'o all the mus kets ever made," he said. "A rifle them. The army needs men who know the woods. Or yoo could drive a wagon." "If old lira ddock can wait till 1 git back from Pblmdelphla, tuebbe I'll belp biro. But It be'a one of them sass-sn'-pepper men, him snd m won't pull together it all." McDowell' settlement consisted ot the mill and bslf a doteo cabins scat tered along the horse-path tbst struck Into the Shlppeosburg, Carllal end Harris Ferry road a short distance beyond the Craig place, Cromlt baited hi prisoner near the Widow Cos' bouse, close by the mill. A mao wltb a beard that reached to bis wslst was lounging nnder a tree. Oo onr approach, he rose to bis feet and stretched bis long arm and lounged toward us, saying : "So you'v fetched 'em back, Balaar. You're going to be a Ukety belper." "I went a-porpose to fotcb 'em back," grinned Cromlt be ontled the prisoner band and ordered them to replace the stolen bells.
