I hastened to the Iroquois camp and found Hound Paw amoking and talk ing with George Croghan The Onon daga was quick to respond when J promised action. We secured a small baa of meal and gome extra arrow heads for Bints, for I ever considered them belter than the Imported article. As we traveled the ancient path. the Onondaga Informed me Major Chapman bad taken bis road builders over Will's mountain, a most foolish choice and one that would cause great waste of time and much hardship.

"Some one stole your rifle?" "If we lick the French as sartaln as that there rifle has been dole, then the French are everlastingly walloped this very minute. The thief lit out I ahead of you fellers. Come round the ' mountain by this path." The Onondaga caught only frag- i mentt of Cromli's talk and asked me to repeat It After I did so, be ad vised: "Let the bone-breaking man come with us. If we meet a beur he shall show how strong bis hands are against claws." "All right, DulMiir; you're one of u. but I'll not be responsible for the con sequences once you get back to the army.

We took to cover and sftet a few minutes one ot them cuius Into view Illustrations and bulled on beholding the ashes of our cumptlre. He leaned ou his rule and after a bli of glancing about sounded a low whistle. This was a signal that brought others to his side. At tlrst glance 1 thought them to be Indians, but as we observed their un kempt hair, the manner of their walk, their long rllles and fur huts. we knew them to be white men. There were ten of them and their leader was as dark as a negro. All were dressed like Indians. Besides rltle each carried au ax at well as a knife at bis belt. My second thought was that they must be Frenchmen, who always Imitated their red companions In dress, and thus endeared themselves to the in illnn.

Before they could move I called out: "Who are you meor None ot them appeared to move muscle until the leader slowly turned his head lo our direction and tersely anwered : "White men. But this was scarcely sufficient, fof the time were ticklish. So I Said: It you're the rlgiit kind of white men. we re glad to eve you If you are the wrong kind, you will go to Will s crvek with us" Will's creek Is where we're bound tor, to beip Glnerul Braddock whip the French and Uijuns.
