SYNOPSIS
The story se 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-
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 by
name, and a settler, Hendrick Van
Gordon, both of questionable reputa-
tion, enter the yard afoot. After
greeting Enos and his uncle, the two
strangers, already partially intoxicat-
ed, ask for “firewater.” It is refused
and the two men depart, leaving
Jamés Baker apprehensive of future
revenge.
That night Enos interrupts one at-
tempt on the part of Slippery Tim to
steal his horse, but the morning finds
the horse gone, so the boy and his
uncle set out for the home of the Van
Gordons where they feel sure they
wil ldiscover the whereabouts of the
horse.
As they approach the Van Gordon
home, Slippery Tim leaps to the back
of Enos’ horse and dashes away into
the forest. By clever threats, James
Baker intimidates Van Gordon, who in
turn influences the Indian, and the
horse is found in the barn when the
two Bakers return to the farm. A
slender barbed arrow, a possible
warning of the future, is found upon
the floor of the barn, however.
© It is soon forgotten in the activities
of the evening, for the community
gathers at the homestead to welcome
Enos ‘meets Mary Dana,
daughter of one of the best loved
farmers of the settlement.
Following the party, James Baker
and Enos walk to the blockhouse.
Standing in its shadow, conversing,
they see Slippery Tim and Hendrick
Suspecting mischief, the two colon-
ists separate and cautiously retrace
their steps to the Baker farm. Enos
arrives in time to prevent Slippery
Tim from stealing his horse, but/
through the open door, he discovers a
blaze within the barn. Now go on
with the story.
CHAPTER IX
THE DECISION
Unmindful of everything now, save
the peril of the burning barn, Enos
rushed into the building, instantly
closed and barred the doors behind
him to shut off the draught, and then
began to work to check the flames.
The fire had been kindled in a small
pile of hay directly in front of the
stalls from which there was a side
door that could be lifted or swung
open upon its leather hinges, and
thrugh which the hay could be thrown
into the mangers. This trap door
was now open and the two horses
were stamping and neighing in their
terror as they beheld the small fire be-
fore them on the floor of the barn.
Disregarding the confusion, Enos took
off his thick jacket and throwing it
upon the smoking fire tried to stifle
the flame. For a moment it died
down, but the smoke was blinding
and as soon as Enos raised himself
the fire threatened to start up afresh.
Satisfied that he could not put out the
fire in this manner, Enos shouted for
help. Tories, Indians, the loss of his
horse, were all forgotten in the face
of the terrible peril; for if once the
fire should gain headway it would
mean not only the loss of the barn
and its contents but also of the house
and all it contained.
He thought of the heavy horse
blanket he had left hanging on a near
by peg, and flinging his scorched and
smoking coat to one side he made a
dash for the place where the blanket
had been left, and to his delight he
discovered it there ,and in a moment
he had thrown it on the smoking heap,
and quickly cast himself at full length
upon it. .
Once more the blaze died down, but
the smoke was stifling, blinding. He
did not know that his hands wers
plistered; he thought only of putting
out the fire or holding it down until
help should come. ‘Where was his
uncle and why did he not come to
his aid? In a brief time the flames
would burst forth again, and, do what
he might, he was confident he could
not prevent them from spreading to
the low loft which was directly over
the horses’ stalls. Again and again
he shouted and called for aid, and soon
to his inexpressible joy he heard lis
uncle at the door of the barn, but the
door was closed and he could not en-
ter.
“The barn is
Enos. “I'll burn
come quickly!”
“Open the door!
shouted his uncle
“I can’t! 1 can’t!
fire down with a blanket. Run ar-
ound to the stable. Hurry! Be
quick! Oh, he quick! Be “quick!”
The smoke was now so nearly stif-
ling that Enos could hardly breathe,
and the heat was becoming unbear-
able. Already there were holes burn-
ed in the blanket, but the lad was not
yet aware of his own suffering. The
stamping and snorts of fear of the
horses added to the confusion and for
4 moment it seemed to Enos that he
on fire,” exclaimed
up if you don’t
Open the door!”
in his excitement.

must leave his place and rush forth
into the open air and get one good
breath, be the consequences what they
might. .
Although the time seemed almost
endless to the desperate lad, in reality
only a minute or two had elapsed be-
fore his uncle had joined him, holding
a bucket of water in his hands, which
he had secured at the spring which
was near the corner of the barn. He
too had shouted and called to the
house for aid, and now Mercy and
the children appeared. « :
James Baker quickly stationed them
in line with Mercy at the spring and
then the three pails or buckets which
belonged to the barn were swiftly
filled by her and passed rapidly from
one to another, while James Baker,
himself standing near the fire, poured
the contents upon the smoking hay as
rapidly as he received them.
For a moment thick clouds of smoke
rolled up and almost stifled Enos, who
still kept his place upon the blanket.
All were working with a zeal born of
desperation now, and the question
would soon be settled. Pail after pail
was poured upon the smoking mass,
and at last Jame Baker, telling the
children still to pass the water, order-
ed Enos to rise and open -the large
door. :
As Enos instantly obeyed, his uncle
seized a pitchfork and lifting a part
of the burning hay upon it rushed
with it out from the barn and flung
the mass upon the grass outside.
Again and again he repeated the task,
the children and Enos meanwhile
flinging the water from the pails upon
the floor and the smoking hay that
remained inside. The fire-fighters
were gaining now, and _ at last not a
vestige of the burning hay :remained
within the barn. To cover the scat-
tered hay outside the building with
water, was a task that was soon com-
pleted, and then, for the first time
since the peril had been discovered,
Enos Baker breathed freely, and be-
came aware of what he himself’ had
suffered.
“Twas a close call, lad, and .had
it not been for you we should not
only have been without ‘a barn but
without a homé as well. I had not
not looked for any such deed as this,
for I was satisfied that the rascals
would do nothing to stir up our sus-~s
picions at such a time. But I -was
mistaken, as better ‘men than I have
been before me.”
“I'm glad it is over now,” said Enos
with a sigh. 0
“Yes; and we shall not be threat-
ened again tonight. Are the horses
all right?” : £
“Yes, I think so; only mine is gone.
Perhaps I can get him though,” ana
Enos placed his fingers in his mouth
and whistled shrilly.
In a moment there came a whinny
from the forest not far away, and
when Enos had repeated his call his
faithful horse was heard as he came
from the woods and approached the
group standing in front of the barn.
He was quickly led to the stall he
had so recently occupied and then,
after looking to the fastenings of the
doors, the little party returned to the
house.
The expression geen upon the face
of Enos, as soon as a candle was
lighted ,at once betrayed the pain he
was suffering from his burns, and in
response to his uncle's question he
held - forth his hands to the light.
With many expressions of sympathy,
James Baker proceeded to bind up the
blistered fingers, a task in which his
wife assisted him, and then, as soon
as this had been accomplished ana
the children had been sent off to bed,
the three seated themselves before the
fire and James Baker said:
“I have no fear of the rascals re-
turning tonight.”
“Tis well enough for you to say
that,” said his wife; “but your think-
ing does not make it so.”
“It is not so because I think it, but
I think it because it is so,” replied
her husband calmly. “But I have no
desire to belittle the danger, and now
that I must go back to the army to-
morrow, I know that I must do some-
thing for my family before I go.”
“To-morrow? To-morrow?” excldim-
ed Mercy, her voice rising almost to
a scream as she spoke. “Oh, James
Baker, you will not, you cannot go
and leave us here in this way! Oh,
my husband do not go! Ohy do not
go! What shall I do? What shall
I do? ‘The woman’s voice now was
low and her cry was broken by sobs,
while she swayed to and fro in her
chair and flung her apron over her
head as if she would shut out from
the sight of others the agony she was
suffering. :
“Listen, Mercy,” said James Baker
in a low voice. “You know I do not
go hecause I wish to, but because I
must. T have given my word and no
Baker ever yet broke a promise. You
would not have me the first to do so,
I am sure.”
“But—" interrupted his wife.
“Nay, listen to me till I am done. I
know it will not be safe to leave you
here, though I do believe your peril
will be less when I am away than it
is while I am here, for it is plain that
it is against me these evil deeds are
pointed.”
“What were the two shots I hearq,
just before the barn was set on fire?”
said Enos quickly. “I had almost
forgotten about them.”
“IT saw the man—I will not name
him—creep up to the house, and from
his actions I could not tell whether
he was trying to break in at the
kitchen window or to do what his
rascally friend did at the barn. 1
watched him for a moment and then
pulled out my pistol and fired to
of killing him, though he richly de-
served it; but as I fired he rose and
.saw me, for I had stepped out in the
road, and then he too fired, but for-
tunately ‘missed me. He ‘then took!
to his heels and the last I saw of him
he was disappearing in the woods
over there by the sweet apple tree.
He's gone now, and for good wand all,
I’m hoping.” y
“The next time it will be one of the
children who will be shot or carried
away, as they have already done with
others,” said Mercy Baker bitterly.
“I do not make light of the dan-
ger, Mercy,” said her husband soi-
emnly, “and I would that I could stay
here to ward it off.”
“A man’s first duty is to his fam-
ily.” -
“Nay, not so. A man’s first duty
is to God. But, Mercy, I am hoping
when I return to camp and explain
the peril and danger in which the
people of the valley are dwelling, that
I can obtain permission not only for
myself but for some of my neighbors,
who too are there, to come back here
fore I start on ‘my long ride, I shall
go and see the Danas, and I am sure
they will be willing and glad for you
to come over there and stay with
them. They live near to Forty Fort,
and I shall - feel better to have you
where you can seek the safety and
shelter of that, for ’tis by far the
strongest of all the forts in West-
moreland, though I still hope that you
will not have to use even that. This
will not be for long, anyway, as I be-
lieve when I go back to camp and
have explained just how everything is
here, that I can obtain permission, as
I said, to come back and fight, if it
is necessary, for my own family and
my neighbors.”
“How long do you think it will be?”
inquired Mercy Baker, with more
cheerfulness than she had previously
shown since her husband’s return.
“That I cannot say, but I hope it
will be only a few weeks at the long-
est.” 5
“A few weeks!” groaned his wife.
“Can you not come directly back?”
“I cannot promise, however much I
may hope. But if there should be a
delay and neither I nor any of my
neighbors do come, then I shall hope
that the committee will send some
worthy men to the army to plead for
us. Still that may not be necessary.”
“But if we go over to the other side
of the river and stay with the Danas,
who will look after the stock and the
place here?” inquired Mercy.
“I have been thinking of all that.
There will be but two horses—Enos'
and one of ours—and they can be tak-
en over there too. As for the sheep
and cattle and pigs, Enos can coma
over almost every day and look to
them, and the nearest neighbors here
will help too.”
“And not a soul left upon the
‘place,” groaned Mercy. “Do you not
see that it will be just an invitation
to the men who were here last night
to come back and help themselves to
anything and everything they want?”
1 have thought of that too, Mercy.
But listen: Last month young Asa
Stevens led a scout which the com-
mittee detailed and the nine men who
were with him brought back fire Tor-
ies who were at once sent to Con-
necticut, and are now held there as
prisoners of war. To-morrow, or the
day after, John Jenkins is to lead
another scout, and they will either
bring back the two rascals who tried
to set fire to our barn to-night or
they will drive them so far from the
valley that no one will ever have
cause to fear them again. Indeed,
it is my opinion that Hendrick Van
Gordon will never show his face any
more in Wyoming. There, I declare
if I haven’t let out the name of the
villian after all.”
“Then it was Hendrick you fired at,
was it?” inquired Enos.
“Yes, it was; but it was the last
time any Wyoming man will have that
opportunity, I am certain.”
Enos by no means felt so positive
as his uncle appeared to, but he did
not expdess his forebodings, and his
uncle continued: “Now I have thought
over this whole matter very carefully,
and one reason, aside from my prom-
ise, why I think it best to go direct-
ly back to the camp is, so that I may
obtain my release, or at least get per-
mission to come home again. They
ought to be willing for all of us to do
this, for there will be no fighting by
the army this winter, or so every one
professes to believe, and that will be
all the better for us and make it the
more easy. Now to-morrow ‘morning
early I shall go to see the Danas and
a few others, and after I have made
the arrangements I have spoken of, Y
shall go back to the army, though 1
trust it will be but for a short time.”
“It may be, and it may not be”
sighed Mercy Baker.
“we'll hope for the best,” said hel
husband cheerily. “And now for bed.”
It was a long time before Enos clos-
ed his eyes that night, for more than
by the pain of his blistered fingers
was he tormented by his forebodings
as to what the following day might
bring forth.
