CHAPTER XVII— Continued

Solomon took the lightning hurlert
Wit of the packs and unwrupped them
and tried the springs above the ham-
mers Earlier In the day he had
looked to the priming Solomon gave
one to Jack and pet the other two tn
bli pockets Each examined hla pis-
tols sod adjusted them In hla belt
They started for the low-lying rhlge
above the little valley of Itock creek
It was now quite dark and looking
down through the thickets of hem-
lock they could see the firelight of
the Indiana and hear the wash of the
creek water Suddenly a wild whoop-
ing among the red men savage aa the
howl of wolves on the trail of a
wounded htaon run beyond them far
out Into the forest and sent Its echoes
traveling from hilltop to mountain
aids Then came a sound which no
man may hear without getting as Sol-
omon was wont to say "a irar on hla
soul which ne will carry beyond the
last cape" It was the death cry of a
captive Solomon had heard It be-
fore He knew what It meant The
fire waa taking hold and the smoke
had begun to smother him Those
cries were like the stabbing of a knife
and the recollection of them tike blood
stains
They hurried down the slant brush-
ing through the thicket the sound of
their approach being covered by the
appalling rrtea of the victim and the
demon-like tumult of the drunken
braves The two scouts were racked
with soul pain as they went on so
that they could acaarely bold their
peace and keep their feet from run-
ning A new sense of the capacity for
evil In the heart of man entered the
mind of Jack They had come close
to the frightful scene when suddenly
deep sllencs fell upon It Thank
God the victim had gone beyond the
reach of pain Something had hap-
pened In hla passing — perhaps ths sav-
ages had thought It a sign from heav-
en For a moment their clamor had
eased Ths two scouts could plainly
ths poor man behind a red veil
of flame Suddenly tbs whits leader
of ths raiders approached ths pyre
limping on his wooden stump with
stick In his band and prodded ths
facs of the victim It was hla last
act Solomon waa taking aim Ilia
rifle spoke Red Snout tumbled for-
ward Into the Are Then what a scur-
ry among the Indians I They van-
ished and to suddenly that Jack won-
dered wdiere they bud gone 8ulomoo
ttood reloading the rifle barrel he had
Just emptied Then he said:
"Come on an' do aa I do"
Solomon ran until they had come
near Then he Jumped from tree to
tree stopping at each long enough to
survey the ground beyond It This
was what he called "swapping cover"
From behind a tree near the Ore he
shouted In the Indian tongue:
"Red men you have made the Great
Spirit angry He has sent the son of
the thunder to tluy you with hla
lightning"
No truer words had ever left the
lips of man Hla hand rose and swung
hack of his shoulder and shot forward
The round nilxxlle vailed through the
firelight and beyond It and sank Into
black shadows In the great cavern at
Rock creek— a famoui camping place
In the old time Then a flush of white
light and a mar that shook the bills!
A blust of gravel and dimt and debris
shot upward and pelted down upon Hie
earth Rita of rock and wood and an
Indian's arm and foot fell In the fire-
light A numlier of dusky figures scur-
ried out of the mouth of the cavern
and ran for their Uvea shouting pray-
ers to Munlmn aa they disappeared In
the darkness Solomon pulled the em-
bers front arouud the feel of the vic-
tim ‘Nowr by the good (Jod A’ndghty
Years to Die we got the akeer shifted
so the red man'll he the rabbit fer a
while an' I wouldn't wonder" said
Solomon as he stood looking down
st the scene "lie sln't again' to
like the look o' s pale face— not over-
ly much Thera Injtina that got erway
H never atop runnln' till they've
reached the middle o’ next week"
Ile aeited the foot of Red Snout and
pulled Ills head out of the fire
"You d' hellion!" Solomon ex
claimed "You dog q the devil I Turn
bled Into hell whar ye b'long at last
didn't ye? Juck you take that luther
bucket an' bring some wster out o'
ths creek an' put out this fire The
ring on this 'ere ol wooden leg I
wutlt t hundred pounds"
Solomon took ths hatchet from his
belt and harked olf the end of Red
Snout's wooden leg and put It In hi
coat pocket saying:
"From nowr on s whit man run
walk In ths hush without glttln' his
bones picked Injuns Is goln’ to he
skecred o' u— few so' 1 wouldn't
b surprised"
When Jscfc esmw hark with tb wa-
ter Solomon poured It on the embers
snd looked st the swollen form which
still seemed to he straining at the
green withes of moose wood
"Nothin’ kin be done fer him" said
ths old scout "IIe' guns erway I
tell ye Jack It g'ln my soul a sweat
to hear him dyln'"
A moment of silence tell or tho sor-
row of ths two men followed Sol-
Onion broke It by saying:
That 'ere bluck pill ' mins went
right down Into tbs stummlck o' the
hill an' give It quits s poke— yon bear

“They's an awful mess tn tliar I
don't keer to see it" laid Solomon
Near them they discovered a warrior
who had crawled out of that death
chamber In the rocks He had been
stunned and wounded about Ilia shoul-
der They helped til in to hla feet
and led him away He waa trembling
with fear Solomon found a pine
torch still burning near where the
flro had been Py Its light they
dressed hla wounds— the old scout
having with him always small sur-
geon's outfll
Whar la t' other captive?" be asked
In the Indiun tongue
“About a mile down the trail It's
a woinun and a boy" said the warrior
"Take ua whar they be" Solomon
commanded
The three started slowly down the
trail the warrior leading them
CHAPTER XVIII
The Vole of a Woman Sobbing
Over ths ridge and more than a
mile sway waa a wet wild meadow
They found the cow and horses feed-
ing cn Itg edge near the trail Tbo
moon clouded since dark hnd come
out In the clear mld-henveni god
thrown Its light Into the high window
of the forest above the ancient thor-
oughfare of the Indian The red guide
of the two scouts gave a call which
was quickly answered A few rod
further on they saw s pair of old
Indians sitting In blankets near a
thicket of black timber They could
hear the voles of s woman sobbing
near wher they stoo4
Woinern don't be skeered o' m
we're friends— we'rs goln' to taka ye
hum" said Solomon
Tbs woman came out of the thicket
with a little lud of four asleep In her
arms
"Where do ye live?" Solomon asked
"Far south on the shore o' the Mo-
hawk" she answered In a voice trem-
bling with emotion
"What's yer nutne?"
"I'm Dill Scott's wife" she an-
swered “Cat's blood and gunpowder!" Sol
onion exclaimed "I'm Sol Ifinkas"
She knelt before the old scout and
kissed tils knees and could not apeak
for the fulness of her heart Solomon
bent over and took the sleeping lad
from her arms snd held him against
his breast
'Don't feel bad We're s-goln' to
take keer o' you" said Solomon "Ayes
airy we be I They ain't nobody goln'
to harm ye — nobody st all"
There wus a note of tenderness In
the voice of the man as hs felt ths
chin of the little lad with bis big
thumb and Anger
"I Hi ye know what they done with
Rill?" the woman asked soon In a
pleading voice
Tbe scout swallowed ss his brain
begun to work on the problem In hand
"Itill broke hxe an' got erway He'
gone" Solomon answered In saj
Hole
"Did they torture hlui?"
What they done I couldn't Je' tell
ye Hut they kln't do no more to him
lie' gone"
She seemed to sense his meaning
and lay crouched uxin the ground
with her sorrow until Solomon lifted
her to her fret and said:
"lnok tier little woinern this don't
do no good I'm goln' to spread my
blanket under ths pine an' I want ye
to lay down with yer boy an' gtt some
sleep W cot s long trip tooiorrer
Tuln't' so bad as It might be— ye're
kind o' lucky s'ter all Is said an
done" he remarked ss hs coveted ths
woman snd the child
The wounded warrior and ths old
men wers not to be found The had
sneaked sway Into the bush Jack
and Solomon looked about and the
latter railed but got no answer
"They 4 skeered cl'sr (lows to tbe
toe nails" said Solomon "They
couldn't stsa' It hers A llghtnln'
thrower to a few too mtny They'd
rattier be nigh a rattlesnake"
Tbe trouts had no steep that night
They eat dawn by the trail side lean
Ing sgslnst s log and lighted their
plpen
"You member Util Scott?” Boloosoa
whispered
Richard
"Yes
home"
“He were a mean cuss 8old ruin
to (he Injuns I alius tol' him It were
wrong but — my God A’mlghty! — I nev-
er 'spected thut tbe fire In the water
were a goln' to burn him op sometime
No sir — I never dreamed he were s
goln' to be punlslied so— never"
They lay hark ngnlnat the log with
their one blanket spread and spent
the night In a kind of hulf sleep
Every little sound wus "like a khk
In the ribs" as Solomon put It snd
drove them "Into the look snd llxten
business" The woman was often cry-
ing out or the cow and horses getting
up to feed
“My son go to sleep" said Solomon
1 tell ye there uin't no danger now —
not s hit I don't know much but I
know Injuns — plenty"
la spit of his knowledge eves Solu-
tion himself could not sleep A littl
before daylight they arose and begun
to stir shout
I was badly burnt hy that Are"
Jack whispered
Inride!” Solomon answered "Se
was I My soul were a sweatin' all
night"
The morning was chilly They gath-
ered birch hark and dry pine and soon
had a Are going Solomon stole over
to the thicket where the woman snd
child were lying and returned In a mo-
ment "They’re sound asleep" he said In
a low tone "We’ll lei ’em alone"
He began to make tea anrgut out
the last of their bread and dried meat
and bacon He was frying the latter
when he said:
"That 'ere Is s mighty likely worn-
era" —
He turned the bacon with his fork
and added:
"Turribl puriy when she wee
young Alius hated the ram business'
Jack went out on the wild moudow
snd brought In the cow nd milked
her filling a basin and a quart bottle
Solomon went to the thicket and
called:
"Mis' Scott I"
Ths woman answered
"Here's s low’l an’ lettle Jug &
soap Mis' Scott Ye kin take the boy
to the crick an' git washed an’ then
come to the fire an' eat yer break-
fust" The boy was s handsome blond lad
with blue eye and s serious manner
His confidence In the protection of his
mother was sublime
What's yer name?" Solomon asked
looking up at the tad whom be had
lifted high In the air
Whig Scott" the boy answered tim-
idly with tears In his eyes
"What I Be ye skeered o' me?"
These words Vame from the lltrls
lad as be began to cry: "No sir
I sln't skeered I'm a brave man
Courage la the first virtue In which
the young ere schooled on the fron-
tier" Jaik wrote In a letter to his
friends at home In which he told of
the history of that day "The words
and manner of the boy reminded ms
of my own childhood
Solomon held Whig to Ids lap snd
fed hhn and Siam won his confidence
The backs of the horses and the cow
were so badly gulled they could not
he ridden hut we were aide to laxh
the Racks over a blanket on one of
the horses We drove the beats ahead
of us The Indian had timbered the
swale her and there so that we were
aide to pas them with little trouble
Over the worst plaees I had the hoy
on my hack while Solomon rarrlid
‘Mis' Scott tn his arms as If she wers
s baby He was very gentle with her
To him as you know a woman has
been s sacred creuture sine his wlf
died He seemed to regard the boy
as a wonderful kind of plaything At
the camping places he spent every mo-
ment of Ids leisure tossing him In the
air or rolling on the ground with him
"One day when the woman sat by
the fire crying the little lad toncfied
her brow with his hand snd said:
"THm't be skeered mother I'm
brave I'll take care o' you'
"Solomon came to where wns
breaking some dry sticks for the firs
snd said laughingly as he wiped s
tear from his cheek with ths hack of
his grvst right hand:
“'Hid ye ever see secti s got' durn
cunnln' leetle cricket lu yer born days
— everf
"Always thereafter he referred te
the boy as the llttle Cricket"
Jack wrote In another of his letters
that ss they fared along down to-
ward the sown lands of the upper Mis
hawk Solomon began to develop tal-
ents of which none of hla friends had
entertained the least eusplchra
"He has had hard life tell of fight
and peril like most of us who were
oorti In lids New World" the young
man wrote "Ile reminds me of tome
of the Old Testament heroes snd
Is cot title land we have traversed
like the plain of Mamre? What a
gentle creature he might have beeo If
he had had s chancel now long I
wonder must we be slayere of men?
As lung I take It as 'there are aav-
agea against whom we must defend
ourselves"
Ths next morning they met s com-
pany of one of the regiment of Cet-
era! llsrklmer who had gone In pur-
suit of Red Snout end hie follower
Learning what had happend to that
evil band and Its leader tb aeldlsra
faced about snd escorted Solomon and
hla party to Orlskany
