Prairie-S chooner Princess CHAPTER I THE STRANGERS FROM under the curving top of a canvas-covered prairie schooner a boy of about fifteen leaned out, his eyes straining intently across the brown, level expanse of the prairies. Father, he called, with a note of anxiety in his voice, look back there to the northeast! What is that against the horizon? It looks like a cloud of dust or smoke. In a second prairie schooner, just ahead of the one the boy was driving, a man with a brown, bearded face looked out hastily, then continued to scan the horizon with anxious gaze. Beside him in the wagon sat a blue-eyed, comely woman with traces of care in her face. As the boys voice reached her she started, then leaned out of the wagon, her startled gaze sweeping the lonely untrodden plains over which they were traveling.
