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.

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.
