I hastened to the Iroquois camp and

promised action. We secured a small
baa of meal and gome extra arrow

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. Col

a much better road, as could sny ot

It was Dear sunret by the time we

"How is this, BulsarT" I sternly de

"II I sin I wutited, I can scout

"If we lick the French as sartaln as
that there rifle has been dole, then
the French are everlastingly walloped

The Onondaga caught only frag-

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

"All right, DulMiir; you're one of u.

after sunrise and whispered lo me:
"Men come. Hide."

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

rltle and was about to order him to

-Look about," harshly commanded
the leader.
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:
