Marjory, who. acting on Ga-ha-no’s
suggestions, succeeds in freeing the

wego they are welcomed by Corlaer
Th«e gate was closed, but as we ap
preached It opened, and an enormous
pot-bellied figure in buckskin and fui
cap sauntered out to meet us.
“Ja, idt is you,” Corlaer hailed us
“What has happened? I hafe come
here to scout der Doom Trail and
learn how you diedt—andt you are
alife.”
So we told him, whilst the lieutenant
in command of the post and his garri
son of twenty lusty frontiersmen gr th
.ered in a knot to listen over each
other’s shoulders.
“Budt—budt,” expostulated Peter,
“you hafe been in La Vierge du Bois!”
“True.”
“Budt nobody has efer been in La
Vierge du Bois—”
“And come out alive,” I amended.
“I fear many poor souls have been sac
rificed by these fiendish priests.”
Peter insisted upon our repeating
the tale with all details, and I believe
he would have required a third ac
count had it not been for the interrup
tion which came during the afternoon.
We were sitting in the comman
dant's quarters on the upper floor of
the blockhouse when the sentries on
tiie stockade announced a large fleet
of canoes approaching from the west.
The lieutenant promptly issued orders
tc get out the trade goods, and pre
pared for an impressive reception of
the savages, deeming them emissaries
of some tribe come to exchange their
fur catch of the winter.
But the leading canoes held on past
the fort, and none of those which fol
lowed gave indication of intent to
steer inshore. »
“Hafe you a canoe?” asked Corlaer
of the bewildered lieutenant. “Ja?
Well, my friendts andt I will go andt
ask what this means.”
We launched the canoe from the
Water gate, and with Peter and Ta
wan-ne-ars at the paddies, sped out
into the lake. Some distance from
shore we overhauled the rear squad
ron of the fleet, every canoe loaded
deep with packages of furs.
“Ho, brothers,” called Ta-wan-ne
ars. “The chief of the English fort,
who commands here in the name of
Ga-en-gwa-ra-go, invites you to come
ashore and trade with him.”
Up stood a large, stout man with
lanky black hair, dressed in the uni
form of the French marine troops, who
had been ensconced behind a bale of
furs.
“Hu, 'tis ray friend from Arles,” he
shouted, ‘ and his companion, the noble
war chief! So the Keepers did not
keep you?"
“No, Monsieur de .foneaire,” I re
plied. "We are still alive to plague
you."
“Ventre St. Reinl, 'tis not sorry 1
am! Try it again, ray bid. Only try
it again!"
“And what are you doing with these
people?"
lie roared with laughter.
“No more than shepherding them
past the temptations of the English.”
Tu-wan-ne-ars called again to the
Indians in the canoes.
“Come ashore, brothers. We have
rich goods to trade with you."
"We do not need to trade with ttie
English,” a voice replied. “We are
glad we can trade with our fathers,
t lie* French. They have plenty of
goods to offer us. Onontio has sent
word lie will pay better than the Eng
lisli now.”
“Ha. ha. ha," exploded Joncalre.
“Ho, ho, ho! Mart de ma vie!
Tonerr-rr-re de Llieu! 'Tis an odd
world! Au revolr—and avoid the
Keepers. Avoid the Keepers by all
means. I am told they keep a strict
watch upon I lie Doom Trail these
days."
His puddlers dipped their blades, and
his bellows of laughter were wafted
back to us us his canoe followed the
fur argosy down the lake toward the
Frencli posts on the St. bawrence
posts whose magazines were already
beginning to swell with the life-blood
of English trade which was pouring
over the I loom Trull.

canoes, their silvery birchen side

drove them along.
"They will make camp by sunset ut

cun make It."
"Make what?" I asked impatiently.
"Iter distance. Alidt ray plan."
"What plan, man?”
"To put der grin or der other side
of Joncaire's face, by —I Now you
listen.”
And he outlined an undertaking
which seemed absurdly simple until
I chanced to look up and see that Meet
of canoes clouding ilie eastern horizon
of the lake.
"They are loo many for us.” I ob
jected.
“Ja, If they know we come," he ad
mitted. "Built they do not."
"It is well worth trying," said Ta
wan-ne-ars deliberately. "If it suc
ceeds it will set back the plans of
Ouontio and Murray."
“Andt if it does not, then you tell
der gofernor I'eter Corlaer tried once
I too often to get der Jdke hack on Jon
caire."
With which sage comment, Peter
took himself off to arrange with the
post commandant for drawing certain
supplies we should require for this
new expedition.
Two hours larer an express left
< tswego with dispatches for Governor
Burnet, describing the situation at
Jugura and our experiences at Lot
Vlerge du Bois, as well as the passage
of Joncaire’s argosy of furs, the great
est haul which had so far been made
by either country that year on the
frontier. Before the gate was slammed
shut again we three slipped out and
waved good-by to the garrison on the
walls.
Our advance was cautious, and we
parted company with Corlaer In some
hushes, whence we could distinguish
figures dancing around the llatnes and
hear the distant yells of the guests of
Joncaire as they caroused on his
brandy. The Dutchman stripped to
his belt. Ta-wan-ne-ars relieved him
of his musket, powder horn and bullet
pouck, and I sin aldered his clothes
and puck.
"By der blasted pine—a goodt mile
beyondt der other side," whispered
I'eter us he waded into the water.
"You are sure you can stay afloat
so long?” I asked with some mis
giving.
“Ja," he said scornfully. “When
you hear a noise like a fish rising
three times, that is Peter.”
He settled knife and tomahawk
against either thigh, slung a spare
flask of powder beside them, sank for
ward to his chin and began to cleave
tlie water with powerful, overhand
strokes.
"We must hurry, brother," admon
ished Ta-wan-ue-ars.
He started off at right angles with
the path we had been following, and
we fetched a circle around the group
of fires, coming ultimately to a high
point above the shore half a mile be
yond them. Here we rested, both be
cause our weariness was very great
and because we desire^ to witness
Peter’s exploit, and, If need be, be
prepared to aid him.
It was past midnight,* aad the fires
had burned low and the brandy drink
ers soaked themselves stupid. Not a
sound came to us, except for the call
ing of a wolf from the heavy timber
Inshore and the croaking of water
birds.
Tivas Ta-wan-ue-ars' eagle vision
which saw the danger signal. He
gripped my arm.
"Look, brother," he hissed.
1 looked, und u Maine spurted up
ward between the tires and the water.
There was u sharp explosion. A long
minute elapsed, und then a chorus of
excited yells fo.se, dropped und was
sustained.
\Ye listened ten minutes, and
whilst tiie yeiid.K nntlnued, w’ltli in

imlf un hour pa. sed uneventfully
Then the steady lapping of the wale,
against tiie bea« li was disturbed by the
.plush a Ibh mal e in rising. It wa
iepealed twice, i. >. un-ne-urs leaned
over and splasliei, tiie water thrice
with Ills hand. A grunt boomed oui
of tin* darkness, nippies spread in a
widening circle, and u huge form
stepped noi - les.-l.v ashore. Ignoring
our helping hands.
"Oof, that was a good! joke on .Ion
culre," muttered Peter. “Some canoe.
I saiush with der ax uudt some I lilow
up with d t powder andt more ur<
burnedt. Where are my elothes? I
ant soaked like der muskrat."
"You were long in coming,” said Tu
wan-ue-ars. “My brother is not
hurt?"
“Nein, nein. Ooof, wliut a swim I i
tell you I hate bubbles under my
skin! Ja !"
"Did you dutnuge them much?" i
asked eagerly.
Peter suspended the operation of
struggling into his shirt und chuckled
shrilly.
"I would gife much to see der face
of that Joncalre when he counts his
(uuoes andt der fur packs he has left.
Twice now we get der Joke on him.”
'Vet as lie was, with the water drip
ping from his lank hair, he Insisted
upon quitting that dangerous locality
at once We trumped across country
mill tiie sun was high, and we slum
ilod upon an isolated family of Onon
who made us free of their gn
’ no-, ote.
We spent two days with these peo
pie, recuperati.ig In preparation for
the stern task ahead of us. After
parting with them we continued In
leisurely fashion eastward, keeping
well to tiie north of the tireat Trail of
tiie Long House and uvoldlng as much
as possible contact with the Onon
dagas. Onddus and Mohawks whose
coinirles we traversed. Some ten
days after leaving Oswego we found
ourselves on the verge Of that un
trucked domain which was roamed by
tiie Keepers of tiie Doom Trail.
In order to assure that our depar
ture woiiltl tie free from the observa
tion of spies we left our last camp
after dark und in two parties, Ta-wan
ne-ars and myself going in one direc
tion and Peter In another.
Our meeting place wus a grove on
the hunk of a creek, one of the tribu
taries of the Mohawk. We reached it
without observation, und lay in con
cealment most of the day, starting
again in the late afternoon and moving
warily through the forest, following
no particular course, hut addressing
ourselves rather to the effacement of
all evidence of our passage.
We discovered nothing, and the next
day and many others went by with no
better luck. Our provisions were ex
hausted, und we were compelled to
live from bund to mouth upon such
game as Tu-wim-ne-ars could snare or
kill with tils tomahawk—and certes he
was wondrous proficient In both arts.
But we kept on, bearing always east
ward und quartering tiie country in
every direction.
In I tie very midst of tills deserted
wilderness we came upon what we
sought. We tiad abandoned the head
wuters of the Mohawk and were fol
lowing one of its middle branches, a
shallow stream with pebbly, shelving
banks, wading close Inshore so us not
to disturb the close-growing shrubbery.
We all saw it simultaneously—a tat
tered, weather-stained fragment of
canvas, caught on u sang in the cur
rent. I Ashed it out with my musket
barrel.
“A pack-cofer,” declared Peter im
mediately.
“And safely identified,” I added, put
ting my Anger on an unmistakable
thistle in greer. paint with three-quar
ters of u letter "M" above it.
A mile further on Ta-wau-ne-ars ex
claimed and pointed upward to the
trunk of a tall elui. Partly shuded by
the foliage of the lower houghs a deep
blaze was revealed In the hark.
We waded ashore and investigated,
fhe underbrush was us thick as else
where, but presently Peter gave a
heave with his bull-like shoulders and
a whole section of growths, which had
been laced together with vines on a
bucking of boughs, lifted gate-fashion.
Beyond stretched a narrow alley,
whose carpet of grass showed it to
be seldom traveled.
“If this be not the Doom Trail 'tis
worth a look none the less,” I whis
pered.
Peter nodded, und slipped through
the opening. I followed him, and Ta
wan-ue-ars brought up the rear.
Here in this hidden path the forest
noises became remote. Even the birds
ceased to twitter overhead, and the
slightest stirring of the treetops made
us drop to earth in expectancy of at
tack. Yet when the attack came we
were taken completely by surprise.
}Ve were all of us alert, but tiie first
warning that we were under observa
tion was a green-feathered arrow
which sang between Peter and me and
buried its head in .‘tie ground.
"Don’dt fire, wliatefcP you ilo," mut
tered Peter as he threw himself be
hind the nearest trunk.
Ta-wan-ne-ars and I copied his ex
ample. 1 found myself on the right of
the three. The others had selected
standing trunks. 1 hud chosen, per
force, e fallen giant which some forest
wind had overthrown. I crawled alone
tile trunk into ike tangle of roots, and
from there gained a clump ol liuslte
grow ng about the hole from which i
hud be- n torn.

MISS PAULINE CAPPS
ORGANIZING CLASSES
IN ARTISTIC DANCING
z -
Miss Pauline Capps, the well
known dancing teacher who trained
the children in the “Snow Queen,"
announces that she will, in response
to many requests, form a class in
dancing as soon as twenty pupils are
secured. She will give a course of
twelve lessons for $6.00. She will
also give private lessons to those
desiring them; her prices for private
lessons being $2.50 a lesson.
I The various caurses will include
Russian ballet technique, which
trains the muscles along scientific,
prescribed lines, thereby eliminating
a knotted and gnarled condition, de
veloping a complete co-ordination
and balance, and giving the power to
express, in perfect dance form, high
er thoughts and beautiful emotions.
Dances of a wide variety will be
given with the technique, though the
pupil must bear in mind that it is
more important to learn to dance
than to learn a dance. The dances
will consist of creations of Pavley
Oukrainsky, Mirian and Irene Mar
mein, Vestoff, Serova, Adolph Bohm,
Chalif, Kosloff, Ernest Belcher, Ben
Blue, Albeteri, Porta Povitch, and
many of the dances made famous by
Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn and
created by them.
Many of these dances are being
used professionally on the stage at
the present time. They include in
terpretive and nature dances, na
tional and folk dances, baby dances,
and music visualization (translating
mathematically the notes of the mu
sic into corresponding movement).
The Oriental dances will include
Egyptian, East Indian, Moorish, Bur
mese, North African, Turkish, Syri
an, Arabian, Chinese, and Japanese.
For arrangements please phone
Miss Capps at her studio, Atlantic
4914, or residence, Harney B413 or
