Ninety-six of the Indian converts having been treacherously lured from the settlement, and taken prisoners, by hostile Indians and white renegades, were told that they must prepare for death. Then was displayed a calmness and courage worthy of the early Christian martyrs.
"One of our stations in Kentucky has been attacked with cannon." "Where do they get them?" "They are brought all the way from Canada and they are worked by the renegades and white men from Canada." "This is a great danger to us." "It is certainly a very great danger, Major." Henry took another look through the glasses.
In May of the present year a small portion of the Chiricahua Apaches on the White Mountain Reservation, in Arizona, left the reservation and committed a number of murders and depredations upon settlers in that neighborhood. Though prompt and energetic action was taken by the military, the renegades eluded capture and escaped into Mexico.
They were uncivilized foreigners and native renegades, for the most part, who had drifted to the frontier in the hope of making a living without work more easily than in the cities. As there were no lawyers or courts and few recognized laws, the whole people constituted themselves a jury, and if a man were known to be guilty it was foolishness for any one to waste logic on his case.
He was known also to be in league with the red-skins, and had them for allies, when his own force of renegades was not large enough to make a successful attack. "He lies! I am not that monster," shouted the guide as white as a corpse. "I do not lie, sir; from the first I did not like you, and knowing that you were going off the regular trail west I watched you.

In the back of Vaniman's head there may have been some sort of consideration for the man who had ruined him scruples against leaving him with those renegades who had tortured him.
He regretted his words, and went over to Ellen and kissed her. She had tears in her eyes, and looked at him in astonishment. There was plenty to be done. The renegades must be shepherded back to the organization shepherded or driven; Pelle took the most willing first, allowing numbers to impress the rest.
As we gazed upon them, we wept bitterly, and in our despair, we felt as if the sacrifice was beyond our strength. But our sense of duty nerved us, and the terrible ordeal we were undergoing did not shake our resolve, and submitting to the will of God, we preferred exile and poverty, with their train of woes and humiliations, before dishonoring ourselves by becoming traitors and renegades.
We cannot be renegades to Democracy. Above all things, then, it is essential for us as a people not to abandon our faith in man, our belief that not only the exceptional individual but the majority of mankind can be socialized. What is true of our physicians, our scientists and professional men, our manual workers, is also true of our capitalists and business men.
And the focus of these three armies and of Butler's, Johnson's, and McDonald's renegades and Indians was this unhappy county of Tryon, torn already with internal dissensions; unarmed, unprovisioned, unorganized, almost ungarrisoned.
