CHAPTER XVII ? Continued.
?17?
In April the two frlenda set out
?foot for tbe lower , end of the Hlgh
land*. On the river they tired a Dutch*
(inner to take them on to Albany In
bis (loop. After two delightful days
at borne, General Schuyler suggested
that they oould do a- great service by
traversing the wilderness to the valley
V ' of the great river of the north, as far
aa possible toward Swegachle, and re
porting . their obaervatloha to Crown
Point or Fort Edward, If there seemed
to be occasion for it, and If not, they
?Sre to proceed to General Herkimer's
camp at Orlakany and give him what
> help they coold In protecting the set
tlers |t> the west. '
"You would need to take all your
vrlt and courage with you," the 'gen
r- I eral warned them. "The Indiana are1
In bad temper. They have taken to
roasting their prisoners at the stake
and eating their flesh. This is a haz
ardous undertak I n g. Therefore, I give
.you a suggestion and not an ordej'."
' Til go 'lone," aaid Solomon. "If I
'get et up It needn't break nobody'a
heart Let .vJack go to one 6* the
forts."
"No, I'd rather go IntQ the' bush with
1 V 'yon," said Jack.. "We're both needed
f there. ? If necessary we could separat*
and cairy our warning' In two dl'rec
tldns. We'll take a couple of the new
double-barreled rifles ' and four pis- i
jfr tola. If *? had to, I tbtak we could,
' fight a hole through any trouble we |
SM.^iare likely to have."
Bo It was decided that they should
, go together on this scouting trip Into
the north bush; Bolomon had long be
j&V fore that Invented what be called "a
Ilghtuii^' thrower" for close fighting
i' ,(>rlth Indians, to be used If 'one were
lard pressed and outnumbered and
to hnve his scalp taken. This i

' The interior Of Tryon county was said

*',i . ',i'i "I thou sandmen could make a tol'

Jack and Solomon set out In tbt
bush that afternoon and before night
fell were up on the mountain slnpts
north of the Glassy "Watef, as Lake
eorge was often called those days,
ut for Solomon's caution an eVll fate
bad perhaps come to them before their
first sleep on the Journey. The new;
leaves were Just #ut, but not quite
fall. The ^tttle maples and beechps
flung their sprays of vivid green foli
age above the darker shades of the
witch hopple into the soft-lighted air
of the great house of the wood and
filled It with a pleasant odor. A mile
or so back, Solomon had left the trail
and cautioned Jack to keep close and
step softly. Soon the old scout stopped
and listened and put his ear to the
ground. He rose and beckoned, to
Jack and the two turned aside and
made their way stealthily up the slant
of a ledge. In the edge? of a little
thicket on a mossy rock fbetf they sat
down." Sojoqion looked serious. There
were deep furrows in the skin above
his brow. ..
After a few minutes Solomon turned
and whispered :
"Four Injun braves Jlst went by.
Heljbe they're scoutln' fer e big band
? mebbe If so, the crowd is up
the trail. If they're comln' by, It'll
be Yore dark. We'll stop In this .'ere
tavern. Ther1* a cave on t'other side
o' the ledge ail, big as a small house.''
They hatched until the sun had set
Then Solomon led Jack to the cave,
li| wlilch their packs were deposited.
From the ? cave's entrance they
looked upon the undulating green roof
of the forost dipping down into a deep
valley, cat by the smpoth. surface of
a broad river with.' mirrored shores,
and lifting to the summit of a distant
mountain range. Its blue peaks rose
Into the'glow of the sunset.
"Yonder Is the great stairway of
Heftven !" Jack exclaimed.
; "I've pur up In this 'ere ol" tavern
many a night," said Solomon. "Do
ye see its sign?*'
S - ? Hfc- 'pointed "to '4 great dead t pine
that stood a little below It towering
? ? ism? nr.. ? . . ? .> '
with stark, out reach lug limbs more
than a hundred and fifty feet Into the
air.
"I call It The Dead Pine Tavern,"
Solomon remarked.
"On the road to Paradise," said Jack
M he gazed down the valley, his hands
shading his eyes.
''Wlaht we could have a nice hot
snipper, but 'twon't do to build no fire.
Nothln' but cold vlttles! I'll go down
with the pot to a spring an' git some
water. Toudlg fer our supper In that
pack o' mlne_ an' spread It out here.
I'm hungry." "
They ife their bread and dried meat
moistened with spring water, picked
some balsam boughs and covered a
corner of the mossy floor with them.
When the rock chamber *vaa filled with
their fragrance, Jack said :
"If my dream comes true and Mar
garet and I are married, I shall bring
her here. I want her to se? The Dead
Pine Tavern and^ita outlook."
"Ayea, air, when ye're married safe,"
Solomon answered. "We'll come up
here fust summer an' flah. an' hunt,
an' I'll run the tavern an' do the
cookln' an' sweep the floor an' make
the beds !"
Jack awoke at daylight and found
that he was alone. Solomon returned
In half an hour or so.
"Been scoutln' up the trail," he said.
"Didn't we a thing but an ol' gnaw
bucket. We'll Jest eat a bile an' p"lnt
off to the nor'west an' keep watch o'
this 'ere trail. They'a Injuns over
thar on the slants. We got (o know

They wen: or., keeping well away

"We'll have to watch It with our

very much cowed and depressed by
an undeserved punishment he had r?
celved that morning.
"My boy," said the bishop. In elt?
quent tones, "who made this great and

The white-faced boy began to blub

KINGFISHER'S APPETITE
"There lo one thing to t>e said fo?
me," said the Kingfisher, "and that U
that I do not complain of being bored
or tired.
"I do not complain of having noth
ing to do, for I have a great deal to do.
"I have fishing to do and I love to
fish. No one loves to fish more than t
Kingfisher.
"You can tell that by my name!
My name Is such that, without being
Emart at all, you could tell that I was
a bird fond of fishing and that 1 was
good at my Job.
"For am I not called Kingfisher?"
The Kingfisher sat upon his perch, ,
looking very handsome In bl* gray |
suit with Its touches of white and his
splendid crest upon ,hls head.
Ob, he was a handsome fellow, all
right. There was no mistake about
that. i
His crest stood up very straight, as ]
though he were eagerly looking for
something, and as though }ie were very ,
much Interested In what was going on. |
He made strange rattling noises and
his long, strong beak looked as though
he would have no trouble In eating.
At times, when you looked at blm,
you would have said It was of the
shade of gray such as Is a elate'a
color.
-in reality his coloring was of a blue
gray, but at times, when you looked |
at him and couldn't see him very clear
ly,*you would have said It waB gray.
And In Oie sunlight you would have [
?aid (t was blue.
His crest, too, made him look as
though a king bird with o crown upon |
his head.
BU slc? was splendidly 'big. His
black tall even seemed to show the
excitement he now felt.
"Fish 1 I shall have plenty of fish,"
be said.
He flew down to the water, now, so
quickly that It seemed as though he-'
had made one leap.
Up again he came, and In hl8 mouth
was a big fish. It looked^as though
tt would be almost too big for King
fisher. But he knew what he could
take. i 1
'No one could tell him about taking
'< In Hia Mouth W? a Big Fish.
small bites and chewing his food well.
He knew what a big fellow he was
and how. strong he whs and how much
he could eat. .
He knew that wns a great deal, too.
He 4ld not care for bugs and Insects
very much.
He would eat them, but be didn't
like them as he did- fish. u
Fish was the food for Kingfisher.
He took the fish he had caught an<l.
struck It over bis perch, so that the
wi-lggllng fish was/?tUl now.
Kingfisher was happy.
He ate It delightedly. Ah, what a
fresh, tasty fish It was!
This was a meal fit for a king, as
he Sad beard somewhere a meal should
be. " v
Yes, somewhere, he had beard some
child speaking about a meal fit far a
king.
'And ever since then be bad thought
to himself :
"She must have meant me ! She
must have meant that a good fl4b
meal was ? fit meal for Kingfisher."
When Kingfisher was through with
his meal be was almost ready for an
other. ?
For Kingfisher's stomach was large
and able to bold plenty of food. Nor
did he choke on the bones. Oh, ne ;
be knew how to eat fish so tbat he
didn't choke on bones. He ate too
cleverly for that ? and, too, there wns
plenty of room so the bones didn't
choke him as they went down.
He ate the fish head-first, which
was the sensible way - of eating fish,
be thought,
"Begin at the top nnd work down,"
was bis motto.
Once more he watched out for a fish.
He would show the fishes what a
king's appetite could be. He would
show the fishes ? and be did!
Daddy Forgot Something
Glenn forgot to say "please." 'Fa
ther, thinking to drill the child on his
manners, asked him what be should
say.
"Please." answered Glenn.
Father gave htm what he wanted
and then said, "Now what do you
sav r*
"Thank yon." said Glecn.
"You mnstn't forget those little
things," cautioned father, and then
went on with his work.
Glenn waited a minute nnd tbpn j

BAPTIST MINISTER GIVES
TANLAC FULL CREDIT
No greater praise eun be accorded
a medicine then the voluntary testi
mony of a milliliter of the gospel. The
preacher's high culling puts a grave
responsibility on his every word, And
he will not Jeopardise his rpputatyon
by commending a thing without first
assuring himself It Is all right. <
Taiilac lias been endorsed by nto(n
bers of prominent ministers. They
have put Tanlac to the test of p?r
sonal service and tUelr words cairy
conviction because they say What they
know to be the truth.
One of the latest to epeak oat. In
behalf of Tanlac Is Rev. B. E. Ben, A
retired Baptist minister, 207 Eln^ St,
San Antonio, Texas, who says: '
1 "Before taking Tanlac I had suf
fered from stomach and nerve trou
bles for over 80 years and there were
times when my condition was such
that It required almost superhuman
effort for me to prepare my sermons
and go through Wmi my Sunday serv
leva. Indeed, my work seemed like
some great obstacle acrosp my path
way ? a burden too big to carry In ray
weak pliyelcul condition.
' "8tit In sir weeks' time Tanlac
transformed my entire outlook, giving
me what seemed like a new set of
nerves and a brand-new digestive
system- My appetite became raven
ous, ray nerves steady, my liver action
regular and I cpuld sleep no unci for
the first time In years. Whenever I
have the slightest symptoms of trou
ble novr I ulwuys resort to Taplac,
am taking Bome at present, and It
never falls to smooth things out for
me. I certainly have the best of rea
sons for feeling grateful to Tanlac."
Tanlac Is for sale by all good drug
gists. Accept no substitute. Over 40
million bottles sold.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT
V* t ' ? ? ? ? '
I t?
i For many year* druggists have watched
with much intawst the remarkable record
naintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
-hfL great kidney, liver and bladder medi
cine. ... ' 3
It is a physician's- jirescriplion, ,
Swatpp-Root- is strengthening ; medi
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended they,
should do. \
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi
cine has so many friends. '
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghhmton, N. Y., for. a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper. ? Advertisement.
