The approach of Christmas brought
the usual problem to an Alameda
(Cat.) man—what to give his wlte.
She had everything he could think of,
and there seemed nothing more to
bestow. "My dear." he said, "I wish
to give you a present to cost about
$20. but I can't think what. Can youT"
The lady pondered It seriously, and
said: "I am thinking of my roses. I
wish you would give me $20 worth of

A striking figure the lad maris rid-
ing Into the old capital one afternooa
Just before the sun sank behind the
western wood*. Students no longer
wandered through the campus of Wil-
liam and Mary college. Only an occa-
sional iHald In silk and lace trip|ied
along the street In high-heeled shoes
and clocked stocking*, and no coach
and four was lu sight. The governor's
palace. In Its greut yard amid linden
trees, was clonal and deserted. My
Lord Punmore was long lu sad flight,
as Krsklne later learned, but not lu
hi* roach with itir sis •nllk-whlte
horses. Hut there was the bust of Sir
Walter In front of Itulelgh tavern, and
there he drew up, liefore the steps
where he was once nlgh to taking Dane
Grey's life. A negro *ervaiit cume for-
ward to care for his horse, but a coal-
black young glunt leaped around the
corner and seized the bridle with a
welcoming cry:
"Marse Krsklne I Rut I knowed
Firefly fust." It was Kphralm, the
groom who had brought out Barbara's
ponies, who bad turned tne horse over
to him for tne race at the fair.
"I come from de plantation fer ole
marse." the boy explained. The host
of the tavern heard and came down to
give his welcome, for any Dale, no
matter what his garb, could always
have the best in that tavern. More
than that, a bewlgged solicitor, learn-
ing his name, presented himself with
the cheerful news that he had quite a
little sum of money that had been con-
fided to his keeping by Colonel Dale
for his nephew. Erskine. A strange
deference seemed to be paid him by
everybody, which was a grateful
change from the suspicion he had left
among bis pioneer friends. The little
tavern was thronged and the air
charged with the spirit of war. Indeed,
nothing else was talked. My Lord Dun-
more had come to a sad and unbe-
moaned end. He had stayed afar from
the battlefield of Point Pleasant and
had left stalwart General Lewis to
fight Cornstalk and his braves alone.
Later My Lady Dunmore and her
sprightly daughters took refuge on a
man-of-war—whither my lord soon fol-
lowed them. His fleet ravaged the
banks of the rivers and committed
! every outrage. His marines set fire to
! Nor/olk, which was fn ashes when he
j weighed anchor and sailed away to
| more depredations. When he In-
trenched himself on Gwynn's Island,
j that same stalwart Lewis opened a
| heavy cannonade on fleet and Island,
and sent a ball through the Indignant
nobleman's flagship. Next day he saw
a force making for the island in boats,
and tny lord spread all sail; and so
back to merry England, and to Vir-
ginia no more. Meanwhile. Mr. Wash-
Ingtoj had reached Boston and started
his duties under the Cambridge elm.
Several times during the talk Erskine
had heard mentioned the name of
Dan* Grey. Young Grey had been
with Dunmore and «ot with Lewis at
Point Pleasant, and had been conspicu-
ous at the palace throngh much of the
succeeding turmoil—the hint being his
devotion to one of the daughters, since
he was now an unquestioned loyalist.
Next morning Erskine rode forth
along a sandy road, amidst the sing-
ing of birds and through a forest of
tin) upsheotlng leaves, for Red Oaks
•n the James. He had forsworn Colo-
nel Dale to secrecy as to the note he
had left behind giving his birthright
>o bis little cousin, Barbara, and he
k&ew the confidence would be kept In-
violate. At the boat landing he
bitched his horse to the low-swung
branch of an oak and took the path
through tangled rose bushes and un-
dergrowth along the bank of the river,
lalting where It would give hlra forth
n the great, broad, grassy way that
led to the house among the oaks. There
was the sundial that had marked every
sunny hour since he had been away.
For a moment he stood there, and
when he stepped Into the open he
shrank back hastily—a girl was com-
ing through the opening of boxwood
from the house—coming slowly, bare-
headed, her hands clasped behind her,
her eyes downward. His heart throbbed
as he waited, throbbed the more when
his ears caught even the soft tread of
her little feet, and seemed to stop
when she paused at the sundial, and
as before searched the river with her
eyes. And as before the song of negro
oarsmen came over the yellow flood,
growing stronger as they neared. Soon
the girl fluttered a handkerchief and
from the single passeager In the stern
came an answering flutter of white
and a glad cry. At the bend of the
river the boat disappeared from
Ersklne's sight under the bank, and be
watched the girl. How sbe had grown I
Her slim figure had rounded and shot
npward. and her white gown had
dropped to her dainty anklea. Now
her face was flushed and her eye
flashed with excitement—It was no
mere kinsman In that boat, and the
boy's heart began to throb again—
throb fiercely and with racking emo-
tions that he bad never known before.
A fiery looking youth sprang np the
landing-steps, bowed gallantly over the
girl's hand, and the two turned np the
path, the girl rosy with smiles and
the youth binding ever her with a
moat protecting ana tender air. It
waa Dane Grey, aad the heart of the
watcher turned mortal sick.
did toward thla dandy mincing op that
beautiful broad path. With a little
grunt he turned back along the path.
Firefly whinnied to hliu and nipped af
lilm with playful restlessness an
though eager to be on hla way to the
barn, nml he stood n while with one
arm across his saddle. Once ha reached
upward to untie the reins, and with
unother grunt strode back and went
rapidly up the path. Grey and Barbara
had disappeared, but a tall youth who
sat behind one of the big pillars saw
lilni coining and rose, bewildered, but
not for long. Each recognised the other
swiftly, and Hugh cume with stiff
courtesy forward. Erskine smiled :
"You don't know me?" Hugh
bowed:
"Quite well." The woodsman drew
himself up with quick breath—paling
without, flaming within—but before he
could speuk there was a quick step
and an astonished cry within the hall
and Harry sprang out.
"Erskine I Erskine!" he shouted,
and he leaped down the steps with
both hands outstretched. "You here!
You—you old Indian—how did you get
here?" He caught Erskine by both
hands and then fell to shaking him by
the shoulders. "Where's your horse?"
And then he noticed the boy's pale
and embarrassed face and his eyes
shifting to Hugh, who stood, still cold,
still courteous, ond he checked some
hot outburst at his lips.
"I'm glad you've come, and I'm glad
you've come right now—Where's your
horse?"
"I left him hitched at the landing,"
Erskine had to answer, and Harry
looked puzzled:
"The landing! Why, what—" He
wheeled and shouted to a darky:
"Put Master Ersklne's horse In the
barn and feed him." And he led Ers-
kine within—to the same room where
he had slept before, and poured out
some water In a bowl.
"Take your time," he said, and he
went back to the porch. Erskine could
hear and see him through the latticed
blinds.
"Hugh," said the lad In a low, cold
voice, "I am host here, and If you don't
like this you can take that path."
"You are right," was the answer;
"but you wait until Uncle Harry gets
home."
The matter was quite plain to Ers-
kine within. The presence of Dane
Grey made It plain, and as Erskine
dipped both hands Into the cold water

he made up his mind to an under-
standing with that young gentleman
that would be complete and final. And
so he was ready when he and Harry
w-ere on the porch again and Bar-
bara and Grey emerged from the rose
bushes and came slowly up the path.
Harry looked worried, but Erskine sat
still, with a faint smile at his mouth
and In his eyes. Barbara saw htm
first and she did not rush forward.
Instead, she stopped, wltb wide eyes,
a stifled cry, and lifting one band to-
ward her heart. Grey saw too. flushed
rather painfully, and calmed himself.
Erskine had sprung down (he steps.
"Why, have I changed so much?" be
cried. "Hugh didn't seem to know me,
either." His voice was gay, friendly,
even affectionate, but hla eyes danced
with strange llghta that puzzled the
girl.
"Of course I knew you," she fal-
tered. paling a little, but gathering her-
self rather haughtily—a fact that Ers-
kine seemed not to notice. "You took
me by surprise and you have changed
—but I don't know how much." The
significance of thla too seemed to pasa
Erskine by, for he bent over Barbara's
band and klased It
"Never to yon, my dear cousin," be
said gallantly, and then he bowed to
Dane Grey, not offering to shake
hands.

Mrs. Pule was visiting down the

to her left, Hugh next to him, and
Harry at the head. Harry did uot wait
long.
"Now, you White Arrow, you Big
Chief, tell us the story. Where have
you been, what have you been doing,
and what do you mean to do? I've
heard a good deal, but I want It all.'
Grey begun to look uncomfortable,
and so. In truth, did Barbara.
"What have you heard?" asked Kra-
klne quietly.
"Never uilnd.'fc Interposed Barbara
quickly; "yoa tell us."

He wanted his son. Black Wolf, as

I heard the Indians were going to Join
the British. I didn't want to be chief,
but I did want influence In the tribe,
so I stayed. There was a white wom-
an in the camp and an Indian girl
named Early Morn. I told tha old chief
that I would flght with the whites
agalcst the Indians and wltb the
whites against them both. Crooked
Lightning overheard me, ahd you can
Imagine what use he made of what I
said. I took the wampum belt for the
old chief to the powwow between the
Indians and the British, and I found
I could do nothing. I met Mr. Grey

and then looked at him steadily. '.'I
was told that he was there In the
Interest of an English fur company.
When I found I could do nothing with
the Indians, I toM the council what
I had told the old chief." He paused.
Barbara's face was pale and she was
breathing hard. She had not looked at
Grey, but Harry had been watching
him covertly and he did not look com-
fortable. Erskine paused.
"What!" shouted Harry. "You tol<J
both that you would tight with the
whites against both I What'd they do
to you?"
Erskine smiled.
"Well, here I am. I jumped over
the heads of the outer ring and ran.
Firefly heard me calling him. I had
left his halter loose. He broke away.
I Jumped on him, and you know noth-
ing can catch Firefly."
"Pidn't they shoot at you?"
"Of course." Again he paused.
"Well," said Harry Impatiently,
"that Isn't the end."
"I went back to the camp. Crooked
Lightning followed me and they tied
me and were going to burn me at the
stake."
"Good heavens I" breathed Barbara.
"How'd you get away?"
"The Indian girl. Early Morn, slipped
under the tent a$d cut me loose. Tha
white woman got my gun, and Firefly
—you know nothing can catch Firefly."
The silence waa Intense. Hugh looked
dazed, Barbara was on the point of
tears, Harry was triumphant, and Grey
was painfully flushed.
"And you want to know what I am
going to do now?" Erskine went on.
"I'm going with Capt George Itogerd
Clark—with what command are you;
Mr. Grey?"
"That's a secret," be smiled coolly.
"I'll let you know later," and Barbara,
with an Inward sigh of relief, rosa
quickly, but would not leave them be-
hind.
"But the white woman?" questioned
Harry. "Why doean't she leave the
Indians?"
"Early Morn—a half-breed—la bet
daughter," aald Erskine simply.
"Ob I" and Harry questioned no
further.
"Early Morn waa the best-looking
Indian girl I ever aaw," aald Eraklne,
"and the braveat." For the first Ume
Grey glanced at Barbara. "8he saved
my life," Erskine went on gravely,
"and mine la hers whenever she needs

hla band.
As yet not one word had been aald
of Grey'a misdoing, bnt Barbara's cool
disdain made blm shamed and hot, and
In her eyes waa tbe sorrow of her la-
Justice to Erskine. In the hallway aha
excused herself wltb a courtesy, Hugh
went to tbe stables, Harry dlaappeared
for a moment, and the two were left
alone. Wltb smoldering lira Erskine
turned to Grey.
"It seems you have been amusing
yourself with my klnspeople at my ex-
pense." Grey drew himself up In
haughty alienee. Eraklne went on:
"I have known eome llara wbo were

"You forget yourself."
"No—nor you."
"Yon remember a promise I made
