CHAPTER XXV.
A maiden approached the station, and
Reynolds and Joel Logston hastened to
open the postern for her admittance. It
was Innis McKee; she entered, pale
and agitated, and asked to be conducted
to Captain Boone. Elizabeth, who had
hastened to meet her, took her kindly by
the hand and led her Into the block
house. "This Is Captain Boone," said Lizzie.
"Let me breathe a moment; I am ex
cited; my heart beats Tery fast," re
turned Innis. "I hare come to speak
about the treaty proposed by Captain Du
Quesne, Girty and others," said Innis,
when she had grown somewhat calmer.
"Then you were sent here?" asked
Boone.
"No, no! I came of my own accord!"
answered Innis earnestly.
"And for what purpose, young wom
an?" Inquired the captain.
"To tare you all from destruction; the
treaty talked of is but a trap to destroy
you. If you go out of the fort, you
will never come back; you will be seized
and perhaps slain on the spot!" added
Innis with Increasing fervor.
"Who are you?" asked the captain, in
a more kindly tone. '
The young girl hesitated, and then,
covering her face with her hands, re
plied: "My name Is Innis McKee."
"That unfortunlt!" muttered Joel to
himself.
"Alas, sir, why should I attempt to
conceal what Is so well known? The
perfidy of my father Gils me with shame.
The plot is simply this: When you go
out to make your terms with Du Quesne
you will be seized and not allowed to
return to the fort. A large party of
warriors will surround you and effectu
ally cut off retreat. The principal men
being captured, the station will be great
ly weakened and forced to surrender,
when a horrible scene of butchery will
follow. Knowing this, I have hastened
hither, In order to prevent a catastrophe
so dreadful."
"You have acted nobly, and all these
helpless women and children will thank
you; and not only they, but these gal
lant men, who are their natural protect
ors," said Boone feelingly.
"Don't you know anything of the two
young women who were carried away
by Girty?" asked Joel.
"I have seen them," returned Innis.
"Perhaps somethin' can be done to lib
erate the gals." Suggested Joel.
"I think so." replied Innis.
"The affair of the treaty must first be
attended to," resumed Boone, recovering
his wonted serenity of expression.
"Knowing as we do their intentions, I
think we may safely meet them, under
certain conditions."
"Name them," said Fleming.
"Send them word that we will meet
them sixty yards from the block-house.
In the block-house we will station our
sharpest shooters. If they attempt to
seize ns. let them shoot down the first
who lifts a hand."
"Very good." said Logston.
"They'll object to meet you within
sixty yards of the fort," said Reynolds.
"Then we will not attempt to treat
with them," returned the pioneer. "Now
the next question to be decided is, when
shall we meet them?"
"To-morrow morning," said Reynolds,
"for by putting it off to that time, wo
may have a mure quiet night, and obtain
some rest."
"The idea Is a happy one," rejoined
Mr. Alston.
"Mr. Reynolds, tnke a white fine,
mount to the top of one of the cabins,
and tell them we will meet them to
morrow morning oirly, in order to fix
the terms of a trpnt.v." added Bonne.
The night which followed was by nn
means a quiet one, as the pioneers had
hoped: for there was much firing ami
bravad) on the part of the savages. In
the morning the overtures of Girty wero
renewed, and considerable parleying en
fued. He said Du Quesne was at the
present time absent, hurrying up the re
inforcements ami cannon, hut would be
with them by noon. Girty affirmed,
moreover, that Du Quesne left highly in
dignant that his merciful offers were so
obstinately and foolishly rejected; and
the moment of his return would be a
signal to batter down the works, and let
four hundred furious savages upon them.
The s-ene that would Inevitably follow,
he would leave to the imaginations of
the good people of Boonesborough.
"If you have any regard for me,
cap'en, I hope you will let me fire," aald
Logston, In a persuasive tone.
"Be patient, Joel," returned the cap
tain. "The measure of his sins Is full and
runnin' over," added Logston.
Girty ceased speaking, and nothing of
Importance took place on either side tin
til a little past noon, when he again ap
peared, with the announcment that Du
Quesne had returned, and the cannon
and relnforcemets had reached them.
The noble captain had commlsslond him
to aay that the following persons would
be permitted to leave Boonesborough be
fore they would commence the assault
which would be final and decisive, and
result In the total destruction of the sta
tion, viz: Mr. Alston and family, Mr.
Fleming and son, and any relatives of
Kliza Ballard who might be there, sav
Bland Baliard, the scout These gener
ous and humane terms he advised the
above-named to accept as they held out
the only chance of life that now re
mained. He pledged his word solemnly, that
not single shot should be fired while
they were leaving the station, and the
very beat treatment should be extended
to them.
"Gentlemen, do you hear this offer;
you are at perfect liberty to accept or
reject It," aald Daniel Boone.
"Do me not the gross Injustice to
Imagine that I shall listen to each a pro
posal for a moment," replied Mr. Alston,
quickly.
"I'd rather stay and perish where I
am," aaid Fleming, with an honest glow
f Indignation. "When I leave Boones
borough, I'll leave it just as the rest do;
I never left my friends in the hour of
trouble, and by the help of God I never
will, he added.
"But your families!" resumed Boone.
"We will share the fate of our dear
neighbors and defenders!" exclaimed
Mrs. Alston and Mrs. Fleming, slmuu
taneously. "Noble souls! noble souls!" cried Cap
tain Boone, passing his stalwart hand
across his eyes.
"Who's comin' out?" cried Girty.
"Not a single soul, you contemptible
cretur !" said Joel.
"To prayers, then, every one of ye,
for the sun of your lives is settln', and
won't never rise on ye ag'in. Let your
dyln' speeches be short, or many on ye
won t get off from your knees afore your
scalps'll be called for in a hurry. I
reckon most on ye'll be loth to lose 'em!"
retorted Girty.
Joel again entreated the captain to let
him fire, but with no better success than
before.
Girty had disappeared, and in about
nn hour McKee came out and affirmed
that Du Quesne, still considerate and
merciful, had finally concluded to accede
to their most unreasonable terms, and
would meet them within sixty yards of
the fort, when he and the principal
chiefs and leaders of the expedition
would hear what they were willing to
do; and It was arranged that the meet
ing should take place immediately.
CHAPTER XXVI.
Captain Boone stationed his men in
the block-house to command a view of
the parties, and where they could cover
them with their rifles.
"If they lay hands on us and attempt
to detain us, fire, and we'll willingly in
cur the risk of being hit. And, mark
me, remember Girty and Du Quesne!"
said the pioneer, when, with his two
companions, Fleming and Logston, he
was ready to leave the fort.
"I think It would be well," said Joel,
"for each of ns to conceal some kind of
a weapon under our hunting frocks. I've
an idea that we shall feel the need on
'em afore we get back."
"It Is well thought of," replied Boone.
"Our hunting knives will answer thi
purpose."
Enjoining It upon the men to observe
well their instructions, the gates were
opened and the three men passed out:
and their friends who remained watched
their footsteps with Intense Interest.
They were met within the specified dis
tance by a numerous party, among
whom were three Frenchmen, Girty, Mc
Kee and several chiefs.
"That does not agree with my notions
of a friendly and honorable treaty," said
Reynolds, who, with his rifle at a loop
hole, was observing all that was trnns
piring. "There are too many there;
they mean no good; keep a sharp look
out." A discussion of considerable length
now ensued: and so far as those at the
station could judge by appearance, ev
erything was going on in the most
amicable manner. Rut Reynolds did not
relax his vigilance; he declared that on
this occasion he would not be deceived
by Indian cunning and French duplicity;
and the settlers being left under his
command, he ordered every man to cover
with their rifles the bodies of those near
est the captain and his associates and
not to take their eyes for a single mo
ment from the sights.
The wisdom of this advice was soon
apparent. The good humor of the
Frenchmen and the principal warriors
seemed to increase. Innis McKee dresv
nenr to Reynolds and looked eagerly
forth.
"They will shake hands soon," she
said, "and that will be the signal for
seizing them."
Innis stood pale ami anxious at a
loophole; for she had at that Instant
caught a view of the form of her father,
and he was very near Captain Boone.
Reynolds quickly perceived her agita
tion and guessed the cause.
"Don't fire at McKee," he said, In a
low voice to his comrades.
"I thank you very much!" exclaimed
Innis; "for I know he does not deserve
mercy at your hands."
"The service you have rendered ns,
fair Innis, justly entitles you to consid
eration," replied Reynolds.
"Alas! he la so different from what
I wish him to be, that his death could
scarcely shock me more than his life;
and yet I cannot see him within range
of your rifles without a feeling of hor
ror. Look! look! they stretch forth their
hands!" cried the maiden.
Instantly the women screamed with
alarm, for they beheld the captain and
his men seized by the savages; for the
moment they had extended their hands
they were grasped by the powerful war
riors, who attempted to drag them
away.
A desperate struggle had already com
menced when the sharp crack of more
than a dozen well-aimed rifles scattered
their enemies like autumn leaves. The
athletic pioneers dashed down those
nearest them and ran toward the fort
under a heavy shower of balls.
Andrew and Ebony, who had been
stationed at the gate for that purpose,
opened It In haste, and the brave men
threw themselves In, bleeding from a few
slight wounds, and panting with exer
tion. "Well done, my gallant boys!" cried
the captain, as he precipitately entered
the block-house. "That fire was a lev
eler." "They fell down strangely," said Mr.
Fleming.
"Little-Turtle has gone tinder. I rather
reckon," added Joel, casting from him
a knife stained with deep crimson spots.
"You've mad a fine treaty, I sup
poaer" said Alston, with a smile.
"We will leave you to draw your own
Inferences from what has just hap
pened," replied Fleming.
"Did you see Captain Du Quesne?"
aaked Mr. Alston.
Captain Boon colored, and seemed
pained and embarrassed.
"lea, ws'ts seen him! we've seen
htm!" exclaimed Logston, emphatically.
And then, ns if to divert his thoughts
from the subject, ho trod on Vesuvius'
tall, putting him Into a towering passion
and making him more than ever anxious
to worry Andrew and Ebony.
"The fact of the case is," said Boone,
seriously, "that our friend Logston be
lieves he has made a discovery. Captain
Du Quesne and Monsieur Le Bland are
the same."
"The same!" cried Alston, turning
pale.
"Identinlly the same," returned Joel,
with a scowl.
"It cannot be! It cannot be!" he ex
claimed. "What do you think, Captain
Boone?"
"I am of Joel's opinion." replied the
latter.
"And you, Mr. Fleming?" resumed Al
ston." "I'll venture to make the assertion
that If Du Quesne were to die this very
moment there wouldn't be such a man
as Le Bland on the face of the earth."
A dark frown passed over the usually
placid face of Mr. Alston. "If this is
indeed true," he said at length, "this
very hand shall punish the perfidy of the
villain!"
"Pervidin I don't get my eyes on hlra
fust!" muttered Joel, while Vesuvius
growled in concert, and Andrew and
Ebony withdrew to the further part of
the fort, influenced by the most prudent
motives.
Boone remarked that it was certain
Du Quesne, notwithstanding nil the va
porings of Girty, had no cannon, and
therefore he should not think of surren
dering, ns he was of the opinion that
they could not take the place without
ordnance,
(To tie contlnned.
A story which comes from the Con
temporary Review has a bearing con
siderably broader than the mere facts
of the case; for the nesro who Is the
central figure was possessed of a
quality not Infrequent In white of
fenders, too the ability to magnify
the mote in his neighbor's eye until
the whole community forgets that he
has a beam In his own.
He had stolen the proceeds of a col
lection that hail been made for tho
benefit of the minister, and the church
had deckled to try hini. The meeting
was crowded. The preacher presided.
After -n statement of the charges, the
accused man had a chance to lie heard.
He went forward and took the place
of the preacher on the platform.
"I ain't got nuffln to say fo' mysef,"
he began, In a penitent voice. "I'a a
po' nils'able sinner. But, bredren, so
Is we all nils'able sinners. An' de
gread Book says wo must ferglb. How
many tinion, bredren? Till seben

"Now I ain't sinned no sobenty

noss nieetin' an' ev'body In dU great
comp'ny dat Is wlllln to ferglb, coma

deah ole hymns, an' shake ma han'.
Then he started one of the powerful
revival tunes and they 1egan to come,
first those who had not given any
thing to the collection and were not
much interested In the matter, any
way, then those who had not lost
much, and then the others. Finally
they had all passed before him ex
cept one old lady. She stuck to her
seat. Then he said:
"Dar's one po' nils'able sinner still
Ief, dat won't fergib, she won't fer

tributed the largest sum.
"Now, I sugges'," he went on, In
a gentle, reasonable voice, "that we
hah a season ob prayer on' gib dls
po' nils'able sinner one mo' chance."
So after they had prayed and sung
another hymn the old lady came up,
too.
PAIN KILLED BY BLUE RAYS.
Color May Prove Vnluable as an An.
neathetlc In S d rarer j-.
Interesting experiments with blue
light ns an agent for producing nnal
gesla, or Insensibility to pain the dis
covery of Prof. Redard have been
carried out by Dr. Harvey Ulllinrd,
anaesthetic to the Royal Dental Hos
pital of London, and by a well-known
Geneva dentist
In an article In the Medical Times
and Hospltnl Gazette Dr. Hilliard
states that he found that the blue light
had on himself "a most distinctly calm
ing Influence; a desire to close the eye
and sleep Is experienced, and nfter
some minutes sensibility to pain Is
lessened. For Instance, the difference
between light pressure made with the
tip of the little finger and a needle
could not easily le detected and surgl-j
cnl needles could le pushed Into the(
face, lips, gums and arms ami blood
drawn thereby without actual pain
being felt unless a still deeper pres
sure was exerted.
"I believe the nresonce of n hliu
lamp suitably plural mfght give satis-j
factory results In the treatment of ,
Insomnia owing to Its calming Influ
ence, and I have tried It with some
benefit In one case. Similarly In the
restlessness of Infants suffering from
mild Illness and In asylums In cases
of mania It Is conceivable that blue
light rays might le bf value. This
view Is supported by the fact that red
light has been found to have a lne
flclal effect upon smallpox, as It Is In
imical to the vitality of the germs of
that disease."
Dr. Hilliard gives Instances of the
utility of the blue rays In the case of
the extraction of teeth. One man said !
that under Its Influence be felt no pain '
when a molar was extracted and re-'
turned to have two others removed
by the same a geucy.
Flower for the Gardening- Beginner.
To make his flower garden a contin
ual delight, the amateur should study
the characteristics of the flowers he
grows and see that each serves a pur-
'pose. If he loves fragrance, nocotlaua
lafflnis, with its abundant star-shaped
j white flowers, Is excellent, and a fra
' grant novelty which presents a strik
ing contrast to this Is nocotiana Sau
j deras, with deep pink, almost red flow-
ers. These, above all, are excellent for
! borders, planted in front of taller grow
ing shrubs.
For a bed where a mass of yellow Is
desired, golden California poppy Is
useful. It must be sown where It is to
bioom, as it does not transplant well.
Its flowers are not adapted for cutting.
For side and back fences clumps of
single and double hollyhocks In mass
are good. A flower which grows nearly
as high as the hollyhock is radheckla
golden glow, which produces a wealth
of golden flowers good for cutting. It
is a good plan to devote the space In
front of one fence to dahlias and cos
mos, for these are sure to please the
most fastidious flower lovers. The
cactus and decorative forms of the
dahlia are becoming more and more
popular every year. The tubers may
be stored in the cellar In winter like
potatoes. If there hapiens to be a
sunny exposure In the garden, plant a
few pompon chrysanthemums, which
are hardy. They will give an effective
display of tiny flowers in the autumn.
The Drumniondl phlox are exceedingly
pitty, slow growing annuals, exceed
ingly showy In mass. In warm and ex
posed situations they last but few
weeks In bloom.
Coops for Small Chicks.
A farmer's wife writes: The ooop I
use, shown In sketch, Is much better if
made of pine. It Is made In three
separate pieces, the roof and bottom be

the coop on all sides, but much farther
in front and back. This Is to keep rain
from beating in. The roof boards are
nailed to two narrow pieces, which are
Just the length of the Inside of the
coop, and are placed far enough from
the front and the back to fit Inside the
coop. The cracks are battened.

Don't Forget Ihe Lettuce.
Lettuce plants that have been win
tered over In the cold frame should be
planted at tho earliest possible date In
spring, and a sowing of the seed should
be made at about the same time. Many
kinds of vegetables will yield, good re
turns on land but moderately enriched,
but lettuce cnjU only be grown to per
fection In very rich and heavily ma
nured ground. Plant In rows twelve or
fifteen Inches apart; plants should be
set eight Inches apart In the row, and
the seed sown In drill and when large
enough thinned out to about eight or
ten Inches. Give clean and thorough
cultivation. Varieties of lettuce are
exceedingly numerous, and the selec
tion of a few good kinds Is not with
out difficulty.
The Xew Flax Indnnlrr,
An Industry new at least to Minne
sota has been Introduced during quite
recent years. It relates to the manu
facture of flax straw Into binding
twine. Trofessor Shaw affirms In
Orange Judd Farmer that one of the
finest features of the new Industry
Is that It will tend very much to lessen
waste on many farms of the west No
where probably In all the United States
has the sin of waste prevailed to sncb
an extent as In tbe western and north
western states. FWx straw was al
most complete waste. Tbe greater
the number of acres devoted to the
growth of flax tbe greater was tbe
waste.
I'romlulnfr Late Strawberry.
The Fremont Williams strawberry Is
one of the new late sorts from which
much Is expected. When It Is Intro
duced the name will doubtless be short
ened, In accordance with the general
plan of using but one name for a va
riety when possible. The variety has
been under test throughout the country
for two years, and has shown every In
dication of being all that was claimed
for it by the originator. Its one bad
feature, and this will be mainly In the
opinion of the consumer, Is Its rather
mis-shapen form. It Is full as late as
the Gandy, generally considered the
best late sort, of much better quality
and is large and firm. In color It Is an
attractive, bright crimson, and this fea
ture ought to offset, to some extent, the
bad shape. If It does as well under
general culture as It has under tests,
It will be a valuable acquisition. It
has not yet, so far as the knowledge
of the writer goes, been Introduced, but
doubtless will be offered a year from
now. Those who raise late varieties of
strawberries for market should keep
track of this sort Indianapolis News.
Too Free Vac of Lime,
There Is certainly such a thing as
using lime too freely both In the matter
of quantity and of frequency. As a
rule sour soils need lime, but It does
not follow that all acidity of the soli Is
due to lack of lime, for, as is well
known, there are certain minerals In
the soil In some locations which will,
apparently, make It sour, and all the
lime In the world will not overcome the
effect Then, too, certain plants contain
more or less lime, many of them suffi
cient for their own use clover Is one
of these, but oftentimes more lime is
required In the soil not only to cor
rect any acidity which may exist, but
to set free some element In the soli that
would otherwise remain Inactive. We
thus see that lime has some other
function besides correcting soil acidity.
By far the best way to use lime Is to !
experiment with the crop, knowing be
fore seed Is sown something nbout what
it requires In the way of lime for Its
best development, then testing different
quantities of lime on different plots of
ground, but always with the same crop.
Fertilising an Orchard.
Nothing Is lietter for fertilizing an
orchard than riw lione meal and pot
ash, says an expert orchardlst. The
lone will have nitrogen enough for the
orchard In sod, and the phosphoric acid
will become soluble by degrees ns the
trees need It. The principal need of
your sandy soil In apples Is potash, for
not only Is such a soil usually deficient
In potash, but apples take a large
amount from the soil. We would ap
ply 4) pounds per acre, mixed 3.T0
pounds of the bone meal and fifty
pounds of muriate of potash. Then
mow the orchard and use the cut grass
as a mulch for the trees. In short
keep the orchard for apples alone, and
devote all that grows on the land to
the trees.

UNCLE BILLY'S SHADE. '
lie Used It ns n Test of Human
Nut lire.
"I should think, Uncle Billy, that
that crooked window-shade would
drive you wild," Evelyn said, stopping
a moment at the door.
"I don't admire it myself," Uncle
Billy remarked, cheerfully, "but you
see the hem Is torn, and needlework
not being my forte" But the last
words were spoken to empty air. Eve
lyn had vanished. "She probably,"
Uncle Billy mused, "has seventeen
dearest friends to see this afternoon."
Five minutes later his sister appear
ed. "That shade is a disgrace, Billy,"
she said. "Why don't you get a new
one?"
"Couldn't match It, and It seemed a
pity to throw away three good shades
Just because one of them needed a few
stitches."
"I suppose It would be extravagant,"
his sister acknowledged. "Well, If
you'll bring up the step-ladder some
morning I'll try to get it fixed. I came
In to ask you" and then the talk
drifted to other matters.
Id the course of the afternoon Uncle
Billy had two other callers, Cousin
Caroline, who was visiting the family,
and said that if It were her house that
shade would be mended at once, and
Trude, who said nothing about it be
cause she did not notice It.
A week went by, and the crooked
shade was still crooked, and Evelyn
sympathized, and her mother said that
she must get time to mend It, and
Cousin Caroline smiled significantly,
and Trude had not yet discovered It.
"There remains," Uncle Billy medi
tatively remarked one morning, "only
Polly."
The next day Folly came home. That
first evening she spent chiefly In hug
ging the family and talking, but early
the following morning she appeared at
her uncle's door.
"Uncle Billy," she asked, "do you
like crooked shades?"
"Not particularly," Uncle Billy re
plied. Polly flashed across to the window.
"Torn hem," she commented; then to
her uncle, "Suppose you take It down?"
Uncle Billy, after a stupefied mo
ment, meekly climbed a chair and took
It down. Polly dashed away with It
and Uncle Billy heard the whir of the
sewing-machine; In two minutes she
was back. "There you are!" she an
nounced, cheerfully.
Uncle Billy looked at her. "Now why
did you do It that way?" he asked,
plaintively.
"What way?" Polly echoed.
"Why, make me take It down and
put it up. This shade has been wait
ing a week for somebody to fix It I
had planned a reward for the one who
should mend It but of course I expect
ed her to do the whole business. Now
as far as I can make out I'll hare to
give tbe reward to myself, for on fair
minded girl could expect anything for
a mere two minutes' work."
A queer look came Into Polly's eyes.
"And he expected me to go and get
the step-ladder, while he, an able
bodied man, sat and laid traps for poor
human nature. Thank you, Uncle Bil
ly!" and with a saucy courtesy she was
gone.

led to the shade, "was more successful
than I foresaw." Youth's Companion.
