rGEllgTHE PHURST OUTLOOK
ly thing in the world to give any evi
dence of fear of torture. Finally the
head-man, an old chief, sat himself down
a little distance in front of Boone and
his companions, and commanded all
others to leave.
The women and children departed to
their tents and the old warrior called to
him a group of young men. The after
noon was drawing on when the younger
Indiana, all warriors, took their places
back of the chief, who then told, as much
. by signs and words, that the next day at
high-sun the white men, who had dared
to come into the Indians' own country,
were to be put to death. Boone told the
chief that they were the children of the
Great Spirit, that He would not allow
them to be injured, and that He had just
informed him that unless they were re
leased and left free to return to their
people darkness would come upon the
earth and everything would perish, their
squaws, their children, the buffalo and
all sorts of game, and the world become
nothing. The chief smoked his pipe and
thought about this strange declaration,
which Boone made in a most impressive
way. Early next morning the sun came
up as usual, and the old chief came out
a little later and sat down as before.
Some of the young Indians jeered
Boone and his companions, but the head
man told them to beware, for the time
named by the white man when his God
would darken the earth had not yet ar
rived. Time passed and presently it
could be seen that the brightness of the
sun was being dimmed and a strange
sort of light began to make itself mani
fest. As the sun's disc grew smaller the
Indian women became frightened, the
children cried and ran to the tents, birds
twittered in fear and strange noises
seemed to make themselves heard in the
forest all about.
As totality of the eclipse began the
chief and two of his warriors came to
Boone and his companions, cut their
bonds, gave them their rifles, powder
horns, hatchets, packs, etc., and asked
Boone to go and to beg the Great Spirit
to spare the red men and not destroy
them and their earth. With heads erect,
Boone leading, the men strode away,
with steady steps into the forest, but as
soon as they were out of sight and sound
they made their best speed to get out of
reach before the sun came into full
brightness again. They were not pur
sued. Long after they heard that the
Indian chief had told other Indians of
how he had saved the world by releasing
these wonderful men, to whom the
Great Spirit spoke. To tell the truth a
great many of the Indians had a super
stitious fear of Boone, who with his
trusty rifle had killed twenty one of
them, making a cut on the rifle-stock for
every Indian he thus killed. He scorned
to kill any but warriors, never having
taken the life of a woman or child.

PACK SlXCft IIT STACCATO
Week's lies Fox Hunt Death Knell
front Strike to Kill
Reynard's preparations for a day's re
pose counted for naught in the week's
best fox hunt, for striking the trail close
up the music was the sight staccato from
the unexpected strike.
Straightway Reynard sped with little
opportunity for choice, taking the steep
hill beyond cover at breakneck speed
and circling through grove to log hop
and rock jump long enough to gain a
leeway for a break back to hillside, only
to find the hunt still at his heels.
With the yellow glow of desperation
in his eyes he next dashed away through
broom straw to swamp where doubles
were of no avail, and failing to find an
opening he compromised by climbing a
tree and none too soon. In a sack on the
pommel of Old Nat's saddle he journeyed
to Pinehurst to be kept for occasions.
On a second hunt a fast race ended
in a cross track and two foxes, the pack
dividing and the chase ending in an
impenetrable swamp where even Master
and Huntsman could not follow, f For
the week to come rattling sport is antici
pated by the constantly increasing field.
