The Plains Across

John Jasper, with his son, Bert, had gone ahead to prepare a cabin for his family, leaving his uncle, Dan Mason, to bring Mrs. Jasper and the girls. But had the boys of Allen Ranch, as they rode over the hill, not spied the prairie schooner, which Dan was driving, being attacked by the hostile chief, White Eagle, and his braves, the Jaspers, father and son, would have awaited the schooner's arrival long and in vain. In the fight with the Redskins which followed the boys' mad dash to their rescue, Red Wing, with the chief's son, was sorely wounded, so having climbed into their wagon, he was unknowingly borne away with the whites.
