At the plantation the boy had left a note in which he gave the property, which Is his as the son of Colonel Dale's older brother, to Barbara. The party Is met by three Shawnees. who bring news to Ersklne (whose Indian name Is White Arrow) that his fos ter father, Kahtoo, is dying and desires him to come to the tribe and become its chief. After a brief visit to the fort Ersklne goes to the tribe. He finds there a white wom an and her half breed, daughter. Early Morn, and saves the woman from death. He tells Kahtoo he Is with the Americans against the British. An enemy. Crooked Light ning, overhears him. Kahtoo sends Ersklne to a council where British envoys meet Indian chiefs. Dane Grey i there, and the bitter feel ing Is intensified. Crooked Light ning denounces Ersklne as a trait or and friend of the Americans.

He laid his rifle down, stepped j slowly outside, and stretched his arms I with a yawn. Then still leisurely he moved toward his horse as though to take care of It. But the braves were too keen and watchful and they were not fooled by the fact that he had left his rifle behind. Before he was close 1 enough to leap for Firefly's baek, three bucks darted from behind a lodge and threw themselves upon him. In a mo ment he was face down on the ground, his hands were tied behind his back, and when turned over he looked up lUto the grinning face of Black Wolf, who with the help of another brave dragged him to a lodge and roughly threw him within, and left him alone, rw, tho wit he saw his foster-mother's eyes flashing helplessly, saw-the girl Early Morn Indignantly telling her mnrhpr what was going on, and the white woman's face was wet with tpnrs He turned over bo that he could look through the tent-flaps.

Then the old chief appeared and lifted his hands. I -Crooked Lightning will be very angry. The prisoner ta his not yours. It is for him to say what the punish ment shall be not for you.
