Strange as it may seem, the third bullet struck immediately between the other two. The frontiersman had aimed at the other flank, but the elk had jumped to one side, to avoid a hole, just as the hammer of the musket struck the flint. Henry was running on as fast as his snow-shoes would permit, and having reloaded, Dave and Barringford followed.
Forks had been introduced and also regular eating knives, but old hunters and trappers like James Morris and Sam Barringford preferred to use their hunting knives with which to cut their food, and Barringford considered a fork rather superfluous and "dandified." When all were assembled, Joseph Morris said grace, and then Mrs.
He wanted to go on a search for the old frontiersman, yet he did not deem it advisable to leave the trading-post, fearing that an attack might come during his absence. "I will go out for you," said Jadwin "I'd do 'most anything fer Sam Barringford. We have hunted and fit Injuns fer twenty-five years and more." "And I'll go with Tony," put in Ira Sanderson.
"I must say I don't like this much!" panted the young pioneer, as he reined in the horse. "What is it, a tornado?" "We'll have to get behind some rocks for the present," declared Barringford, and this was done. The fierce wind continued for half an hour longer and then subsided. More snow followed, but then came sunshine, as bright and fair as one would wish.
"'Tis the camp-fire of the Wyandots, and no other camp-fire is near," he added, sweeping the entire distance with his sharp eyes. "Shall we go forward at once?" questioned the young pioneer eagerly. "We'll see what your uncle says," returned Barringford.
"Oh, the nice little babies!" put in little Nell, crowding close to touch the soft and somewhat cold cheeks. "And such pretty eyes, too, and such soft hair! Mamma, I think they are just too beautiful for anything!" While Mrs. Morris was preparing some pap and some warm milk Joseph Morris arrived with Sam Barringford, and proceeded to make the old frontiersman comfortable.
But the Wanderers had moved and Bevoir had likewise disappeared, and the trail was lost at the river bank. "I suppose I can say good-by to both money and goods," said James Morris soberly. "I declare, it's too bad!" "I'll try to make it right with ye about the money," said Barringford. "No, Sam, I don't want you to do that.
"But if nobody calls for them " Barringford scratched his head. "In thet case, I reckon as how I'll have to adopt 'em. Don't see nuthin' else to do." "One thing is certain, they shall stay here for the present," said Mrs. Morris, and that important question settled, she turned over the baby she held to Dave, while she bustled about to prepare a late dinner.
"I see a camp-fire!" cried Henry, who was the first to gain the high ground. "Yes, an' it ain't more 'n quarter o' mile from here, nuther," came from Barringford. "Tell ye what, boys, I think we've come about to the end o' the trail; eh! White Buffalo?" "White Buffalo thinks his brother Sam is right," was the slow answer.
Dave and Henry were to go with him, and likewise Sam Barringford and three other frontiersmen named Lukins, Sanderson, and Jadwin. The party was likewise to contain four Indians of the Delaware tribe under White Buffalo. The whites were all to go mounted and were to take six pack-horses in addition.
