“The first white man that ever set]
foot in Wyoming was a messenger of

who dwelt here were unable to be-
lieve his word, and from that day un-

times been as red with blood as is
‘that cluster of maples yonder beneath
the touch of frost and sun.”
~ “Who was the white man? Whence
did he come? What did he do?
“Canst answer a question as well
‘as ask, lad?” said the man smiling]
as he spoke. “Listen, and I will tell
hee of Nicolas Lewis, or the Count
inzendorf as he is called by those
who have a liking for the flavor of
courts, for he was the first white man
that ever looked upon the sight that

‘him at the schools of Halle and
Utrecht. When he was twenty-one
years of age he purchased the lord-
ship of Bertholdsdorp, and soon after-
ward a band of the followers of John
Huss with his consent made their
homes upon his lands. They were a
~ pious and godly people, and so strong
was the effect of their lives upon the
“young count, that he too became one
of them, and from that time until
the day of his death, like Moses, who
andoned the iniquitous court of
Egypt to cast in his lot with a down-
trodden people, Nicolas Lewis labored

sycamore log on which a part of the
tent had been hung. The vile ser-
pent for the
heat of the fire had just served to
wake him up a little, and while the
Indians were watching , the snake
crept over one one of the outstretched
legs of the missionary (he was lying
down at the time, you know, as L told
you) and then disappeared under ‘the
outer edge of the tent. And all this
time the count had neither seen the
savages nor the snake and kept right
on with his devotions.
“That was enough for the would-be
murderers, and going back to their
tribe they related what they had seen,
and soon all the Shawnees agreed with
them that such a man must be under
the special care and protection of the
Great Spirit. The count the next day
was kindly received by them when
he appeared (of curse he did not know
anything about what had happened
in his tent the night before) and very
soon he had a mission ‘there among the
Shawnees that was very successful,
and then in the following year Count
Zinzendorf went back to Europe.”
“Is the mission still there? What be-
came of it? You say there has been
bloodshed here ever since; but how
could that be when the Indians had
believed in the count’s words?”
“Canst still ask questions, "lad? I
will tell thee how it was. The Shaw-
nees were Indians who liked to live
by- themselves, and as at that time
they were supposed to be willing to
obey some of the other tribes, they
were living on the west side of the

neyed everywhere preaching his mess-
age, through Germany, Denmark, and
England, and ‘tis said that others of
the Moravians labored at the same
time in Europe, Greenland, in the
West Indies, and
Pennsylvania. Of this last I know the
truth, for many a time have I vis-
ited the saintly people back here in
‘Bethlehem and Nazareth. The count,
was in these settlements in 1742, and}
‘the stories he heard of the Indians |
i {
~ made him eager to go among them |
“with his message of peace. In one]
f his journeyings he crossed the Po- |
.cono Mountains and came’ among the]
‘Shawnees on the west bank of the
Susquehanna and pitched his tent over
here at Toby's Eddyq The Shawnees
listened to his words in silence, but
at night they held a council of their
chiefs, and not one would believe that
Count Zinzendorf had spoken the
truth when he declared he had crossed
the great ocean and come among ther
just to help them. They believed he
was a spy and would treat them just
as the English were doing when they
found out what a goodly land it was
‘where they were dwelling, so they
appointed two of their strongest war-
riors to seek out the missionary and
kill him that very night.
~ “The savages crept out of the In-
dian village and at last came silently
/ to the tent of the count. It was Sep-
tember and the night air was cool, so
Count Zinzendorf had built a little fire
in his tent to keep him warm. The
two Indians crept cautiously up
the tent and lifted the blanket he had
hung up for a door, and peered in.
There lay the man on a pile of dry
weeds, which was his bed. They could
see his face though he could not see
them, and they hesitated a moment
before they entered, for, though they
were redskins and savages, even they
could not help being deeply impressed
by the kindness and love that were
expressed on the face of the man they
were about to slay.
“However, they were not to be hin-
dered on their errand by such things,
‘and were just about to rush upon
‘their victim, who was praying at the

hen suddenly they saw a huge rattle-

| Delawares, who lived on this side of
the river. There was no trouble un-
| til one day it came to pass that the
| warriors of the Shawnees and the Del~
| awares were away in the ‘mountains
| engaged in an annual hunt for game.
Some of the Shawnee squaws and
| children crossed over the river to this
| side where the Delawares lived, to pick
berries. The Delaware squaws and
children were there too, and every-
thing appeared to be as peaceful as
it is to-day. :
“At last two of the children—they
were not much more than papooses—
one a Shawnee and one a Delaware,
were chasing a grasshopper, trying to
catch it, and when they suceeeded
each child declared it to be his, No
one ever knew whether it really was
a Shawnee grasshopper or a Delaware;
but pretty spon the mothers of the two
children took a hand in the quarrel
and before they knew what they were
quarreling all the Shawnee
squaws were fighting on one side and
all the Delaware squaws on the other.
It appears that the Shawnee squaws
were greatly out numbered and soon
were driven back across the river to
their homes, though several of their
number were killed on the way.
“Naturally when the warriors came
home from their hunt, they too took
sides, and the ‘Shawnees, who prob-
ably were stirred up pretty well by
the story their wives told then and
by the death of a few of their squaws,
crossed over to the Delaware side and
a fearfully bloody battle followed.”
“Who whipped? Which side won?
who beat?” inquired Enos quickly.

“And all the trouble was over a

“Yes. ’'Twas first a grasshopper,
then two children, then the women,
then all the warriors. 'Tis said the
loss of life was great.”
“I cannot think of two
fighting over a grasshopper,”
mured Enos.
“Tis no great thing to fight about.
Yet, lad, didst ever hear of two great
nations fighting to the death over a
small matter of tea or of a small
stamp that should be placed upon a
bit of paper? Hast ever heard of such
foolishness as that?”

eagerly forward. Near the edge of a
