Ay, both eager for the chase at first and then more eager for each other's death for the sake of the whole chase: so that this immemorial game-trace had become a war-path a long dim forest street alive with the advance and retreat of plume-bearing, vermilion-painted armies; and its rich black dust, on which hereand there a few scars of sunlight now lay like stillest thinnest yellow leaves, had been dyed from end to end with the red of the heart.

The latter followed his example, and then, emptying the pipe, he returned it to its case of fawn skin, gaily decorated with the quills of the porcupine stained in bright colors, and spoke as follows: "Hissodecha, your words are good; you are a great brave, and you shall ride with me on the war-path.

The Indian brave, when not on the war-path, walked hand in hand with a dusky, soft-eyed maiden, and sang to her of moonlit lakes and western winds. Even the birds and beasts mated. The robins returned to their old nest; the eagles paired once and were constant in life and death. The buck followed the doe through the forest. All nature sang that love made life worth living.

The young scout felt deeply the pride of his position. He pointed towards the lower valley with all the dignity he could muster, and uttered only the words, "'Pache! War-path!" There was a dismal chorus of "Ugh!" from all who heard him, but there was not one war-whoop.

No further notice of the delinquency followed; the discomfiture of the sufferers sufficiently repaid his sense of humor. At another midnight hour a midshipman visiting in a room not his, lured thither, let us hope, by the charms of intellectual conversation, was warned by the gas-pipes that the enemy was on the war-path.

"They have a society of older boys in their camp called the Henkyl Hunters' Brigade. My brother Stud he's a patrol leader belongs to it. And they go on the war-path occasionally and publish a bulletin about their doings." "What's a henkyl?" Una's mouth was wide open; upon its gusty breath rode horned toads and plated lizards, in imaginary solution. "A henkyl!

About the same time the Indians went on the war-path, apparently at the instigation of the French. Des Herbiers, the governor of Ile Royale, when dispatching the Abbe Le Loutre to the savages with the usual presents, had added blankets and a supply of powder and ball, clearly intended to aid them should they be disposed to attack the English settlements.

"You seem to know a great deal about it." "Oh, yes," nodded Dorothy. "Reginald has a book all about Indians and full of pictures and here's the letter," she ended, and slipped it into my hand. Smoothing out its many folds and creases, I read as follows: To my pail-face brother: Ere another moon, Spotted Snaik will be upon the war-path, and red goar shall flo in buckkit-fulls.

Show me, and I'll tell you by the way smoke curls whether they are on the war-path." "There, just across the Mysterious River." "I see now. Yes, they are on the war-path right enough." Peter was a little annoyed with them for knowing so much, but if he wanted to lord it over them his triumph was at hand, for have I not told you that anon fear fell upon them?

LITTLE, indeed, beside Tartarin of Tarascon, arming himself capa-pie to go to his club at nine, an hour after the retreat had sounded on the bugle, was the Templar Knight preparing for a sortie upon the infidel, the Chinese tiger equipping himself for combat, or the Comanche warrior painting up for going on the war-path. "All hands make ready for action!" as the men-of-war's men say.
