they had made their breakfast. Ac-
cepting the gift gladly and while act-
ing as if he was about to resume his
journey, for in spite of his efforts he
somehow afraid of the red man be-
fore him, the Indian said:
“Boy got mother there?” pointing to-
ward the distant valley.
“No,” said Enos quietly. “I have no
mother or father. or brother or sister.”
“Why go to Wyoming ?”.
“I have friends there.”
The Indian scowled as he said:
“Wyoming men steal land from red
man. Not like first white man that
come here. Him good, heap good!”
It was evident that the Indian did
not intend to continue farther on the
way with Enos now that he had come
to a place which he had recognized
and from which he could easily find
the road that led to Westmoreland. He
held forth his hand and the Indian
grasped it and then did not follow as
Enos said good-bye and started. The
lad had gone but a short distance
when he was startled by what at first
he thought to be a shout of the guide|
he had left, but in a moment he per-
ceived that the man was singing. His
voice was not unmusical, though it oc
casionally broke or quavered as the
voice of the aged is prone to do, still
he could hear the words distinctly and
in the light of the early morning,
amidst the wildness of the scene about
him, they strongly impressed him and
he recognized the song us one which
he had been told Count Zinzendorf had
‘written and taught his Indian con-
verts many years before:
Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won;
And although the way be endures
We will follow, calm and fearless;
(Guide us’ by they hand /
To our fatherland. 3
If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o’ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a foe,
To our home we gO.
Jesus, still lead on
Till our rest be won;
I{eavenly leader, still direct us,
Still support, console protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland.*
These words are a part of a song
written by Count Zinzendorf in 1721
and taught his converts among the In-
The translation as given above,
however, was not made until 1853 by

tured to use the anachronism, as this

emer
By this time Enos was so far away
that the words could no longer be
heard, though the voiee still was audi-
ble. Gradually this too became more
and more indistinct and at last could
no longer be heard.
Deeply impressed by the strangeness |
of the manner of the Indian, Enos had
no difficulty in concluding that doubt-
less he was one of the men who had
listened to, and to an extent had fol-
lowed, the saintly Moavian who had
years before journeyed into the valley
with his message of peace and good
will. The effect of his work was still
manifest, though to some, as to the
man he had just left, the teachings
had been strangely mingled with the
inherited from many
generations. Here was this Indian
quoting and singing to him the words
of the great missionary just as his own
uncle had done when he had overtaken
his nephew months before near this
very spot, and yet it might be that
both men would be mortal foes, each
to the other. Without waiting to puz-
zle himself over the strangeness of it
all, Enos held doggedly to his task.
Hope had now returned all the strong-
er and brighter when he thought of his

sad plight of the preceding day. But
Westmoreland now ‘lay not so many
miles distant, but that he had hopes
of being able to gain it before night
should fall again.
His snowshoes enabled him to make
rapid progress, and as he seldom stop-
ped except to quench his thirst or to
cut a slice from the jerked beef (venis
son it really was), his spirits rose, and
more than once he found himself hum-
ming the words ‘of the farewell song,
with which the venerable Indian had
sent him on his way.
Why this man should have been in
tHe company of Slippery Tim and for
what the four warriors had departed
from the camping place he could nor
understand; but his eagerness and the
thought that soon he would be with
friends left him no time to waste in
idle conjectures and he was well con-
tent to leave the problem of the ras-
cally indian, as well as that of the de-
vout, to the region from which at last
he had successfully made his way.
Tt was dusk when he passed the
familiar place where his uncle had
dwelt, and though he was eager to go
on and was weary with his long jour-
ney, he nevertheless stopped long
enough to satisfy himself that all was
well there and then started ‘swiftly on.
Soon he had crossed the river and not
long afterward in the light of the moon
he could see the rude home of the
Danas in the distance.
At last! The perilous journey had
been completed and soon he would be
Not even the mes-
cage of which he was the bearer, dis-
appointing as he knew it must be to
all the good peope of the valley of
Wyoming, could serve to dampen his
ardor now. By this time he had turn-
ed from the road and was wpproaching
the house.
Suddenly the kitchen door opened
{and Mary Dana stood before him. She
had not yet discovered his presence,
‘land as she was about to close the door
and re-enter the house, Enos, in his
eagerness called to her.
“Mary! Mary!”
The startled girl glanced toward him
and for the first time perceived him.
In a moment she had recognized him,
and in her excitement, without leaving
her place in the doorway, she called to
those within the house: “Enos has
come back] Here's Enos! Comé!
Come quickly!”
In a moment the doorway was filled
with people and the weary lad received
a welcome that of itself almost repaid
him for the long and perilous journey
he had made. In the rear of the noisy
group he could se Mr. Dana and his
wife, but his aunt was not to be seen.
Greeting the children joyously and
responding to the warm words of the
older people, Enos- entered the house
and for the first stime in many days
seated himself in a chair. How good
it seemed to be at home again, for
home it was to the homeless lad! Ana
how cordial they all were! Mary, with-
out joining in the noisy welcome, ex-
cept to give her hand to her friend and
in a few words express her pleasure
at his safe return, had at once begun
to place upon the table some supper,
which she was sure the traveler would
be pleased to have.
Nor was she mistaken, for as soon
as he could make himself! ‘ready, Enos
seated himself and for a time his re
plies to the many questions that were
asked were brief, as he ate as only an
almost famished man can eat.
When the keen edge of his appetite
had been appeased, he said: “Where is
my aunt? I haven't seen her.”
She has been ailing for a day or
two,” replied Mrs. Dana; “but I will
tell her you have come and it will do
her good like a medicine.”
«mig only a merry heart that can
do that,” said Mr, Dana as his wife
left the room. “Have you brought
good news, Enos?’ he inquired in a
low voice.
“No!”
“1 feared as much when I saw that
you had no horse. What have you done
with the beast?”
“The redcoats took him. I have come
the most of the way on foot.”
“What?” 3
‘Yes, the very night I started, or
rather was about to start, a foraging
party stole my horse and also took
about all the man had with whom 1
was at the time.. They took the man
too.”
“You must tell us of that afterward.

look up and there he beheld Mercy
Baker entering the room. Evidently
she had heard his last words and be-
ginning to wring her hands, she ex-
claimed: “It was just as I thought it
would be! James would not come. I
knew he would not! He’d rather be
off following a tooting drum that at
home looking after his wife and
fatherless children; at least they might
as well be fatherless for all the good
he is to them.”
“But, Mercy,” Mr. Dana ventured to
protest mildly, “Enos says they could
not get permission to come.”

James would rather fight the redcoats
than provide for his family.

Oh, dear!”
The unhappy woman began to moan
and wring her hands, and Mrs. Dana
soothingly said: “Mercy, you can he
thankful that you know he is well. You
know where our poor boy is.”
“Has nothing been ‘heard from
John 2” inquired Enos quickly, for in
his joy over being with his friends
again he had almost forgotten the loss
which had been theirs.
“No,” said Mr. Dana . quickly;
“nothing, except that we know that he
and Lieutenant Jenkins have been
taken to Fort Niagara.”
' “Has Colonel Denison come back?”
“Yes, and brought about thirty Tor-
es with him. The most of them have
been, or soon will be, sent to Con-
necticut, where they will do us no
more harm. But he could not get our
boy for us. Still,” he added, striving
to speak cheerfully, ‘“’tis better to
know that he is where he will be taken
care of as a prisoner of war, than to
have no tidings atall. But lad, tell us
now of your journey and what you
saw and learned.” }
Thus bidden Enos related all that
had occurred during his long absence.
Even his aunt was silent while he was
‘speaking and the others were all deep-
ly interested listeners, we may be sure.
‘When at last the story was endea,
Mr. Dana said: “Now, lad, you are for
bed. You have earned a rest, I an
sure. I will take your report to Coi-
onel Denison and on the morrow we
