SYNOPSIS
The story so far:
Enos Baker, a Connecticut boy and
an orphan, journeys to the Wyoming
Valley in quest of his uncle, James
Baker, whose advice he wishes to seek
before joining the Continental army in
the Revolutionary War. As he en-
ters the Valley of the Wyoming, he
is overtaken by a horseman. The lad
journeys with the rider to the cabin
of James Baker where he discovers
that his companion is his uncle.
Distraught by her husband's ab-
sence from home (he has been a mem-
ber of the army for a year)and by re-
ports of possible attacks ‘upon the
Valley which is poorly protected be-
cause most of the men are at Valley
Forge, Mercy Baker, James’ wife,
gives Enos a sharp and unkind wel-
come.
Shortly after the arrival of the two
travelers, an Indian, Slippery Tim hy
name, and a settler, Hendrick Van
Gordon, both ‘of questionable reputa-
Indians will come in the winter time.”
“That, is my only hope that they
will not, and by spring, something
may be done that will keep them away
altogether. This using of the In-
dians' in this war is the most fiendish
thing ever heard of. There may be
some excuses for the Tories, but for
Lord Germain and others across the
sea to end over here to have the red-
skins paid for every scalp they bring
to the camps of the British, why ’tis
enough to make one rise and fight
against King George, if nothing else
has aroused him! 'And then, to think
that only a few short years ago the
Indians were being reached by Count
Zinzendorf and were learning! Christ-
ian ways, and that now they are be-
ing fed on firewater and urged to kill,
kill, kill!—why ‘tis enough to make
one’s blood boil at the very thought!
And to think that I am bound by my
promise to go back to the camp and
leave my own family and helpless
neighbors here at the mercy of these

ly and swiftly up the road .
As soon as they had disappeared

Gordon, but whether they be or not it
is plain it is my home they are seek-
ing, else one would not have startea

while the other kept on toward the
house. Now, Enos, you must follow
the one while I go after the other.
Which shall it be?” '
“I'll go through the woodsiand fol-
low the one who went toward the
barn.”
“Very good. Call if you need my
help, but otherwise be as silent as if
you were speechless. Come on, let

breath coming hard. All the time

ed, ask for “firewater.” It is refused

“Needed? needed? ’'Tis more than
that,” groaned James Baker. “But I
have given my word and no Baker
ever yet forgot his promise. But,
lad, I have brought you out here
where we can be alone, not only to
tell you of these troubles, but to make
you give me a promise. Will you
give it?”
“What is it?”
“True to thy Yankee blood and

James Baker then proceeded to give
his nephew minute directions as to
the way he was to take to ride to the
camp ,how he was to avoid the hos-~
tile Tories and unfriendly people who
dwelt near the camp, and what he was
to do after he had once entered with-
in the lines.
Enos listened attentively and prom-
ised to be mindful of all the details
in which his uncle so carefully in~
structed him.

Baker. ~ “I did not fear that you

he tried to obtain a glimpse of some
one in front of him, but the dim light
of the forest disclosed no one about
but himself.
He had not far to go before he
came upon the border of the little
clearing and soon he was near the
barn, though as yet he had not dis-
covered any one. His excitement in-
creased, however, when he perceived
that the back door of the barn, which
was the one directly in front of hin,
was wide open, and it was evident
no doubt that the visitor had come tu
take the horses, otherwise the door
would hardly be now open. In breath
less suspense he watched and waited.
The slow moments passed, but not ~
sound could be heard from the barn.
Indeed, it seemed to the lad that nev-
er before had he experienced a still-
ness so intense as that which restea
on the valley at that time, though
kthe beatings of his own heart he was
positive were almost loud enough 10
betray his presence to any one "who
might be near. The thought caused
him to glance behind him quickly, for
perhaps he himself was the one who
was being watched; but the tall trees
were the only objects he could see.
Had it not been for that open door of
the barn he would almost have been
able to convince himself that he was
dreaming ,all seemed so weird and
strange in the faint light.
Ten minutes, fifteen minutes passea,
and still the silence was broken. Enos
began to wonder what his uncle was
doing and if he too was still watching.
He was almost tempted to desert his
post for just a moment and go arouna
the corner of the barn to take just
one look at the house and satisfy him-
self that all was well there, but to do
that would compel him to leave the
barn door unwatched, and that he
must not do. Suddenly it occurred
to him that he might have come too
late and that already, before he had
taken his stand where he then was,
the horses had been stolen ,and all
the time he had been watching an
empty barn! At the suggestion of
such a possibility he stepp&d forth
from his hiding-place, and, unmindful
of the peril ,was about to approach
the open door and peer within. / He
had advanced but a few feet when
