Erskine Dale: Pioneer

Deep in the wilderness a boy with a bow and arrow took flight along a buffalo trail. Not far behind him, three grunting savages were taking up the print of his moccassined feet. Soon afterward, a rifle cracked from a watchtower. From the tower old Jerome saw reeds begin to shake in a cane-brake to the left of the spring. “Let him in!” shouted Jerome, and as Dave opened the gates another arrow hurtled between the boy’s upraised arm and his body and stuck quivering in one of its upright bars. “He thinks you air goin’ to take his scalp,” shouted Bud.
