"They see tlie place Is deserted, and
uiili'M they find some sli;n of ua, they
won't come nearer," be said. "I-ook,
Tolnettel There la a white man
among thorn with a prisoner's collar
around hi neck"
1 1 Ik words w ere cut short by a aud
movement among the watchers, as
If a emmmiud bud stirred them to life
turn I ii. Tlie man In llio lead, with
three encle feathers In his tuft, stalked
alutic Into the ch aring, a tall and sin
Inter figure burdened only with his
wenpoiia nnd a warrlor'a diminutive
traveling pack - a cliint who was red
and black and orhrftli yellow In his
war paint, and at whose belt hung
a bundle of scalps In which the sun
played and (In need with changing
I'glit aa he moved. Tolnetta closed
lnr eyes that ahe mluht abut from her
vImIoii the grisly trophies of a war
lior'a sucrexs. When she opened them
wain, twoacore warriors In single file
were following In the fnotstepa of the
lder and paxaed within a hundretl
fret of what once had been Lussnn's
home, casting furtive aldewlae glances
ns they went. In more than one belt,
frii h scalps shone In the sunshine,
and two white men and a boy with
tli"lr hands tied and prisoner thongs
atsitit their throat walked In the line.
Not iinl It the tree on the other aide
of tho clearing had swallowed the
hut of the .Mohawks did Tolnette's
strntnlng eyes turn to Jeems. There
bad been Ho sound In the passing of
the red curge. no cautious voice, no
clutter of wood on steel, no crackle
ef brittle grsss or weeds under four
score moecaslned feet. Where their
tracks lay In the grass, one might have
thought that three men had traveled
Instead of forty. And the world was
drsd behind them. Crows did not
return to the mt-ndow, and the blue
Jys had flown Into safer distance.
The woodpecker had gone to a farther
stub. F.ven In the old house there was
Do longer the scurrying and squeaking
of mice no sound but the tumultuous
throbbing of three hearts, two of them
human and one a beast's.
It was then Jeems spoke.
"I swear there was a white man
a free white man In that painted
crowd, and long hulr w ns hanging from
his belt." he said.
"I saw his blond bend and lighter
akin, but thought my eyes were lying
to me," replied Tolnette.
"An Englishman," sold Jeems. A
murderer for money such as my Uncle
Ilepslhah told me about"
"And yet be might be French."
They stood looking Into each other's
eyes, she of the aristocracy of Old
France and he of the New world's
freedom, and her hands rose slowly to
his face as bis bow and arrow fell to
Die floor. For the first time she raised
her mouth to his,
"Kiss me, Jeems and pray a little
with me In gratitude for the merry
God has shown us!"
The thrill of her lips lay for a mo
ment against his.
"I am sorry for everything In the
world," she said.
Some of the softness and beauty of
boyhood returned Into his face as ahe
drew herself from his arms and he de
scended the creaking etalr ahead
of her.
They did not go out at once, but
stood near the lower door, lUtenlng
for sound and watching for something
to move.
"They are gone," Jeems Anally
said. "Hut there may bo stragclers
behind, and It la safer not to show
ourselves too soon,"
It was easier for them to talk after
this. Quite calmly, ns If looking back
on a distant thing, Tolnette told
Jeems of the tragedy of Tonteur
manor. Her mother, he learned, had
left for Quebec two dnys preceding
the coming of the Indians. Tolnette
expressed her thankfulness because of
this, but no great gladness was In her
voice. She could not remember In
vivid details nil that had happened,
It bnd been so sudden nnd over
whelming, like a stream of tlie en
gulling a blnck night I'eter Lubcck
was with Dleskau, nnd Helolse, his
young wife, had come to stay with
her. Iloth were nsloep when the buv
ages attacked In the early morning,
and she was of tho opinion that most
of the killing wus over before they
were fairly awake and before any
guns were fired. Then came shots and
her father's voice ronrlng through tho
big house. They were out of their bed
when the seigneur came In nnd told
them to dross and keep to their room.
She did not know what bad happened
until she looked out of her window,
and then she saw what seemed to be
hundreds of nuked snvages running
about. She rushed after her father,
but he was gone. When she returned
to her room, Helolse had disappeared
and she did not see her ngaln. She
ceuld hear screaming and terrible
eries, and dressing hurriedly as her
father bad commanded, she disobeyed
him by going downstairs, calling for
him end for JJeloIse. The front part
of the fiouse was filled with (lame and
smoke, and when ahe turned to the
servants' quarters she was cut off by
fire and there was no response to her
cries. It was then she thought of the
mill which she bad often heard her
father say was Impregnable against
both fire and guns, fiho descended
Into the cellar and went from It
through a short underground passage
to an outdoor caveuu mndo of sod
and atones, In which they kept fruit
and vegetables during the winter. She
hid herself In this earthy place, and
then dared to raise the surface door
a little. The worst must hnve been
over, for she could see only a few In
dians about, and everything was on
fire. There was yMlIng In the distance
where the suvuges were attacking tho
farmers' homes. When she ascended
from the caveuu, she stumbled over
tho body of old Itiihln, the miller, who
bad fallen with a musket In his hands.
She took the musket and went to the
mill, and after that she did not see an
Indian about the selgneurle. Sickness
overcame her, and she was half uncon
scious In the tower roiun. Later, look
ing through one of the narrow win
dows, she saw four men come from
the south. She was sure they were
white men, but was afraid to reveal
herself because their appearance was
so terrible. They were like monsters,
MMm
at
Jstms Struck at His Entmy and
Clutched His Slippery Throat
remaining only a little while to look
at the dead. Now, alnce ahe had aeen
the white warrior among the Mohawks,
ahe was even more positive that they
belonged to the war hand and that
ahe was fortunate to have kept herself
conceiiled. 'When she found that
I'.ahtn's musket was loaded, she re
gretted that she hnd not used It to
kill one of the murderers. That was
why, mistaking him for another strag
gler, she had fired at Jeems.
One might have expected excite
ment In her narrative, but It was told
quietly as she looked from Jeems
across the clearing. It was a recital
of fact without the embellishment of
pathos or drama, and Jeems remained
allent for a time when It was ended.
Then he told of bis vllt to I.uxsun's
and of his race home and what be
found there, lie spoke of Hepihah.
"He must have discovered the M
hawks on the far side of the valley
and started the fire which he had al
ways told me to expect. After that, he
tried to reach us and they killed him."
"He may have escaped," suggested
Tolnette hopefully.
Jeems shook his bend.
"He would have come to us. He Is
dead."
His voice possessed the unemotional
certainty with which she had re
ferred to her father and HelolNe.
There was no possllilllly of his uncle
being alive. He repented that belief,
and added that their salvation wns
little short of a miracle. lint now, he
thought, their way would be clear to
friends farther down the river. The
Indians could not hnve gone many
miles In thnt direction, for evidently
they were hurrying back before Huron
Dlesknu learned of their presence In
the French country nnd set out forces
to cut them off. It did not occur to
Jeems that the bnron and bis men
might hnve been defeated, as wus true
In thnt very hour.
He produced apples and a pair of
purple-topped turnips from the pro
vision pouch which he wore at his
belt and they ate these ns they
watted. Meanwhile, he told her what
they must do. They would be forced
to spend a night In tho woods, but he
"Plagues" of Past Ages
Leprosy became prevnlent In the
Dark ages. The scourge of the "black
death" Inaugurated the qunrnntlne;
but civilization hnd discarded all the
other disfigurement of the Dark ages
before It relieved Itself from the re
current visitations of epidemics which
made their appearance throughout
Kuropo In thowe centuries. As late

has been possible. Patient observa

was sure he could make a comfortable
place for her.
He walked ahead Instead of at her
side 'when they began their Journey.
Jeems carried no arrow fixed to the
string of bis bow, and suddenly
twig caught ft and It slipped from his
fingers and fell to the ground. He
was stooping to recover It when a ter
rified scream from Tolnette brought
him erect
Not more than eight or ten paces
from them stood a painted and half
naked savage whose Intention bad
been to make bis way toward the
abandoned bouse. He was sn appal
ling figure, and during the few sec
onds In which they faced each other
Jeems recognized In him the white
skinned scalp hunter be and Tolnette
bad seen with the Mohawks. At this
discovery there shot through him ft
flash of relief, but a second glance
showed him a fiend more dungerous
than nn Indian, one of the merciless
butchers who hunted human hnlr for
the price his own people had set upon
It. A blue-eyed Indian I How often
hnd he heard his uncle curse their
breed I I'.easts more cruel than tigers,
demons set loose and pnld by English
money until their sport as well aa
their livelihood became an orgy of am
bush, murder, rape, and fire I Here
was one of them. The man was
greased and painted, but he was white.
His warlock was light and his eyes
were small and blue. He carried a
gun, a knife, and a hatchet, and at bis
belt was a woman's hair, and with it
another scalp that must have been
taken from the head of a child.
So quickly did Jeems see theee
things that the echoes of Tolnette's
scream had scarcely died away before
their meaning pressed Itself upon him.
The savage possessed a moment of ad
vantage, and as Jeems made a move
ment to whip an arrow from his
quiver, the scalp hunter swung his
gun to fire. Seeing the hopelessness
of bis position, Jeems sprang forward
and burled bis useless bow at hi ene
my. This and the Impact of bis body
came at an Instant when the other
let the hammer of his flintlock fall,
and with the explosion of the gun the
lead from Its barrel flew wild. The
sculp hunter had seen only a boy and
a girl, and a vision of easy victims hnd
leapt to his mind. Now he found
upon him an antagonist of unexpected
strength and ferocity. In the first
few seconds of the fray, neither had ft
chance to draw knife or tomahawk,
and with all the pent-up madness of
his body and brain Jeems struck at
his enemy and clutched his slippery
throat as they crashed to earth to
gether. For a space Tolnette's horror
filled eyes could scarcely tell which j
was one and which the other; and ,
Odd. annrllng whlte-fanged at their (
heels, was unable to become a partner
In the conflict Then, with a powerful
effort, the scalp hunter freed himself i
and sprang to his feet drawing his j
tomahawk In the act. As he prepared ;
to use bis weapon. Odd vaulted for his ,
throat, and the blunt head of the
hatchet met him In midair, striking
w Ith such force upon his head that he
fell a limp and Inert mass to the !
ground.
A cry of triumph came from the bleed-,
Ing lips of the Frankenstein, who saw j
victory within his reach, for he now j
regarded the youth, who was on bit j
feet w Ith a hatchet In his hand, as an
Insignificant obstacle between himself
nnd the pallid faced loveliness of the
girl whom chance had so fortunately
placed In his way. This cry. dis
guised by guile and bablt, betrayed
only a trace of the white man. It wns
guttural exultation of one lost to all
the obligations of blood and race, ft
cry loosed not so much by heat and
pnxston as by the promise of what be
saw as his eves appraised Tolnette.
Tolnette hnd possessed herself of
the empty gun and stood at Jeems'
side, prepared to fight
Jeems was so near that bis arm
pressed against her and be gave ft
sldewlse thrust which sent her head
long among the bushes. In this same
movement he hurled his hatchet at the
scalp hunter, who was slowly advanc
ing. As the other dodged to avoid the
hurtling missile Jeems snatched one
of his scattered arrows from the ground
nnd ran to his bow. Tolnette snv?
what happened then. She saw the
slim, beuutlful figure of Jeems drawn
as tensely as bis weapon In the path
way. She saw the painted monster
descending upon him. She heard the
musical twang of the bowstring and
saw a silvery flash a flash which
passed In at one side of the blue-eyed
Indlnn and went out at the other, a
flash which fell to earth a score of
pnees beyond, a bloody and broker
arrow that had done Its righteous
work.
