THE RED STORM Or the Days of Daniel Boone B y JOEL ROBINSON CllAl'TKU I. Tin vast fori-: of Kentucky had re Terborale 1 to the sound of the w ood lii.iu4 ax. The till' of population was flowing towir! 111 it wild a :u1 picturesqnt t oimtry which had been represented by those wlin hid explored its fortilo level as Brother lMen. A ( Tt li.l.l been erected on the south ern bank of the Kentucky river by Han iel Boone, that daring nn.l hidniuitahb; man whom no danger could appall and no ditllcult les discourage. At the dis tanoo of eight miles from Boone's fort Captain John llarrod had built a sc ond fortification, while Colonel Logan h.itl raised a thin! nt St. Aspah's, in Lin coln county. The few advent urous et tiers that h.i.l penetrate. 1 into that conn- try were continually harassed by savagi foes, not nnfrequently let! on by French men an.) British Canadians. Hoi 1 men worked in the new clearings with arms by their sides, and became soldiers by necessity. The thrilling scenes that were of daily occurrence at that period vl:;jsse the pen of romance. and imagination is surpassed by start ling reality. The shrill warwhoop jrrew Mrangely familiar to the ears of the pioneers, and the shafts of destruction, hurled from the rilles of ambushed ene mies, were continually striking down friend and neighbor. Ailed by the Brit ish posts at leiroit. Yincennes and Kas kaskia, the Indians began a war of ex termination. Against H lonesb irough in particular was their hostility directed. A few rods below the Salt Lick, near which a fort and stockades had been erected by Pan iel l'.oone and his asso ciates, there was a highly romantic spot, half shut in by trees. A grassy glade sloped down to the water, and gentle eminences, aiid rocks overgrown with verdure, forme 1 very aeeeptaMe seats for those who might enjoy the tranquil beau ty of nature in her spring vestments. A young la ly, in the summer of maid en loveliness, was reclining upon a mossy knoll, and the waters of the Kentucky were 11 owing at her feet. She had gath ered violets and evergreens, und a wreath of the latter bound her brows with a careless grace, while the former she was leisurely forming into a bouquet. Her face was uncommonly attractive, and her figure very symmetrical in its outlines. That common figure of the blending of the lily and the rose was perhaps never more felicitously illustrated than upon the fair cheeks of Kosalthe Alston. The soft, pensive expression of the eyes, and the sweet light of intelligence that streamed from beneath the penciled lids, were enough to fix the beholder's atten tion In a steadfast and admiring gaze. The sound of human footsteps upon the river's bank caused Kosalthe to cast hurried and alarmed glances around her. It was not deemed safe, at that time, for females to venture out of Right of the stockades. Kosalthe had in this instance as on several other occasions, violated in some degree the established custom; for. from the spot where she had been reclining the stockades were not visible. The cause of Rosalthe's alarm was du rectly apparent; a man appeared in the glade, and. without hesitation, approach ed her. The young lady drew the fold of her light scarf hastily about her per son, anil was on the point of leaving the spot with considerable precipitation, when the intruder addressed her. "Stay, mademoiselle! Why should you fly at my approach? Am I indeed a savage? Is my skin red?" "Excuse me. Monsieur Le Bland," she said, rather coldly, "if my fears appear ed somewhat excited, for I did not ex pect -that is, I had no reason to sup pose that my pleasant meditations in this agreeable retreat would be intruded upon.". "I am, then, it would seem, to be re garded as an intruder?" asked Le Bland, in a tone less courtly than at first. "No matter, sir let the subject pass, 1 seen no cause or disagreement, re turned the lady, with a smile. tenner no i, lair Kosalthe; your frown of displeasure would make me mis erable," said Le Bland, earnestly. A scornful smile played for an instant over the rosy lips of the lady; Le Blanc observed it, and contracted his brows. "Coldness may not quite crush me, he added, "contempt I never could bear. "The old theme, Mr. Le Bland; tho old theme," returned Kosalthe. V"It is a theme never old with me. Small streams may be turned aside into new channels, but large and swiftly flow ing rivers cannot be easily diverted. It is thus with the human affections; when they become fixed and strong they cannot be changed or trained to flow in other directions. I have sought you. Mademoi selle Alston, to lay bare my heart befom you, and to ask you to see the treasures of love that are garnered there. But your impatient gestures, your curling lip, your rebuking glances, forbid me to pro ceed. "I am glad you have done," she said, "and you could not better evince the good sense which I have always given you credit for possessing than by so do ing. I will now return, and hope yon will enjoy the beauties of this pleasant morning and of this lovely spot as truly as I have done." "Not yet, mademoiselle not yet. I have other matters to discuss which re quire your earnest attention. I refer to the dangers which environ and menace you on every side. The red men of tho wilderness are gathering in great num bers to march against Booiiesborough, and level it with tho dust," returned Lp Bland. "Whence had you this information?" "From one of my countrymen whom I accidentally met while out hunting yes terday." "Who Incites our savage foes? Who supplies them with arms and ammuni tion?" Interrogated Kosulthe, with in creasing earnestness. "I know what you mean," said Lo Bland, coloring. "I am awuru that it Is reported that the British posts aid and encourage the Indians iu their move ments. But to tho subject under consid eration. I have heard, fr4uii undoubted authority, that Captain Du Quesne will oou appear befyr Booutjsborougli with k.m.Hmmm.Mm'jm.vi.vm.mii'r: a large body of savages, to demand its surrender." "And what wi'l be the consequences if Daniel Boone refuses to yield?" "The consequences will bp that I'll t'uesne will hurl his s.lvnges against B lonesborough. and take it by storm. The slaughter will. In such a case, I fear, be indiscriminate. And now eotnes the most important part of my business; It is to earnestly request you to go to Harroi'.s'mrgh, and stay until after this tragedy is enacted. " CHAPTF.K 11. l.e Bland paused and waited anxious ly for an answer, but Kosalthe remained silent. "Will you go to Ma rrodsburgh. Made moiselle Alston, iu order to escape the fate In reserve for yonder brave but infatuated families?" asked the French man, seriously, "And leave my dearest friends?" said Kosalthe, calmly. "Your motives may be excellent, sir. but I reject your coun sel. I will not go; I will remain and share the fortunes of those I love, what ever they may be. But I would not appear ungrateful. I thank you for your kind attentions. Adie.i! My decision is final." "It is not it must not be!" cried the Frenchman, emphatically. "I can I will not consent to such a sacrifice!" "I cannot understand whence conies your intimate knowledge of the contem plated movements of the Indians and their French and British allies," said Kosalthe. "Neither can I fully appre ciate the motives which can induce you to offer safety to me and no others. You have been for a period the guest of the settlers, and Captain Boone, my father and others have treated you with kindness and true hospitality; why not go to them and make known the dan ger that is hourly drawing nearer and nearer?" 'There are many reasons that shapu my actions which I cannot explain, but a strong an irresistible desire to save you has induced me to give you a word oi timely warning. .My resolution to ilare every pen with natural guardians and protectors is as strong as human will can make It said Kosalthe. "Promise me. at least, that you will lock this secret in your own bosom, and reflect on what I have said for four-and- twenty hours," continued Le Bland, con siderahly agitated. l win make no promises, if you please, answered the young lady. "How vexatious! how perverse!" ex claimed the Frenchman, petulantly .Mademoiselle, you must listen to rea son; you must be rational; you must promise to keep my secret for at least twenty-four hours." and Le Bland placed himself before her and barred her fur ther progress. Kosalthe quailed before the stern glances of Le Bland, and would have called for assistance had she dared; but the terror which the Frenchman's con duct inspired, sealed up her lips, and shrinking from him, she exclaimed: "I promise; let me pass." It is wen; lie caretul that in some unguarded moment you do not betray the secret," rejoined Le Bland, in a mild er tone, but without moving from her path. '"This is annoying, sir, and ill becomes you as a guest and a friend," said Miss Alston, whose perturbation momentarily increased, and was now mingled with some just indignation. "Stand aside, sir, if you are a gentle man," said a voice that made Kosalthe's heart beat with gladness. She beheld a young hunter at the distance of a few yards away, witn a ritie in his hand, a powder horn and ball pouch slung at his side, together with the usual accompani ments of such a calling. The stranger's face was somewhat flushed with resent ment, and his eyes were fixed sternly upon the Frenchman. Le Bland, who appeared chagrined and displeased, stepped from Kosalthe's path, bowed as she passed, and then turned towards the hunter with an ex pression that might be construed into anything rather than approbation. With a smile of contempt he scanned him from head to foot, then remarked, as if his words were intended for no ears save his own. "A knight in a hunting shirt a speci men of the infant chivalry of Ken tucky. Young fellow, what may bo your business with me?" "I have no further demand-to make of your courtesy, sir," replied the hunt er, looking after the retreating figure of Kosalthe. "Kxtremely modest and Ingenuous youth!" exclaimed the Frenchman, iron ically. "By what particular combination of letters are you usually known?" "Tho condescending monsieur wishes to know my name; it is Allan Norwood," replied the hunter. "Kid it ever occur to you, excellent Allan, that meddling with other people's affairs is not ulways safe and profitable business?" suid Le Bland, knitting his brows. "I have some knowledge, proud Frenchman, of what belongs to a gentle man. I know how to defend my honor, and punish impertinence," rejoined Al ia n. "You are there, ure you? You carry it bravely. I'll humor your mood, my doughty rustic, and though you are nut my equal, I will moot you on equal terms. Have you pistols, worthy Al lan?" "I have, and you may take your choice of the pair," answered the hunter, calm ly. "Let us walk yonder, then, out of hearing of the settlers, and adjust this little alTuir." The two now diverged from the river's bank, Le Bland leading tho way. Bush ing aside the bushes at every step and passing over some pretty rough ground they soon reached a large growth of wood, freo from underbrush and brakes, and emerging from that they stood on the border of one of the beautiful level characteristic of the country, , Allan paused to admire the nitura! , beauty of the spot, and the Frenchman observe! him askime. While the parties stood t'ins a small bird alighted on a willow bush at about a distance of ten paces. "I'll trouble you for one of those pis tols, sir," siid l.e Bland quietly. Allan instantly compiled with his re quest, an! gave him his choice of a brace of well furnished pistols with rill" barrels. 'Die Frenchman took cue of Ihcm and remarked, with his usual court liness of stjle. "that he was considered a very good hot, but want of practice ha-' untitled him for tiler shooting." With these words, and smiling again, he raised the weapon, tired without much apparent care, and the bird fell dead. "Bather cluuisilv done for me. I shoul have shot his head off; but It Is all owing to want of practice. Be good enough to load it. young man. and we will soon finish this business," added l.e Bland carelessly, but at the same time glancing stealthily nt Allan to ob serve the effect of the shot. "It is one thing to shoot at a bird and another to shoot a human being," re plied the hunter coolly. "Such a feat does not surprise me; I have done as nrtcti myseir. Hut there is one art In which 1 have never been emulous to ex cel; I allude to the art of dissimula tion." "Bash and foolish boy! Yon have pro voked your fate. Your tone and manners are highly offensive, and add greatly to the sin of your first rudeness," retorted I.e Bland, angrily. "I care nothing for the loftiness which you affect: I only remember the cause of this quarrel. Yon offend an insult to a young and beautiful maiden. I ap pear as her champion, and will abide the result, whatever it may be," answered the hunter, firmly. I.e Bland measured the ground by paces; and then walked back to his for mer position. "Who will give the signal to fire, sinen we have no seconds?" asked Allan. "I will nrraifge that. 1 have an alarm watch which strikes any given time, by a regulated movement. I will set If so that it will strike iu precisely two min utes." Le Bland drew a repeater from his pocket and proceeded to set it with much nonchalance. When he had done so, ho hung it by the chain upon a bush. A minute of deathlike site nee elapsed, when the Frenchman suddenly dropped his weapon and exclaimed: "The game is up!" Norwood instinctively turned his gazii j toward the spot upon which Le Bland's j eyes were fastened, an ! perceived a man i of a figure bold and striking. He was ' dressed iu deerskin hunting shirt and , . .... ' leggings, and Ins teet were encased in Indian moccasins. The handle of a hunt ing knife, the blade of which was thrust into a sheath under the wallet, was visi ble, while in his. right hand he held a ritle. "TIs Daniel Boone!" cried Le Bland. "But up your pistols, and we will defer this business until another time; for I do not wish to incur his displeasure." Allan mechanically placed his weapon in its accustomed place, and then Daniel Boone approached toward them. "Mr. Le Bland, what means this?" "Pantomime, sir; nothing but panto mime," replied Le Bland, somewhat dis concerted by tbe reproving glances of the far-famed forester. "Let it end thus, sir, for we want no more blood shed than absolute neces sity requires. I perceive that there is a quarrel between you nnd stranger; but drop it right this young here, and let it go no further. If you are wise, you will take my advice, for I assure yon that your friends at the settlement yon der are not numerous." The Frenchman reddened, and for a moment was embarrassed by the sharp tones and keen glances of the pioneer, "As you will. Captain Boone. I yield to your cooler judgment," he said at length. Boone stood for a few seconds os If lost in reflection, ami then turning ab ruptly to Allan, added, with much frank ness: "Come with me, young man, to Booiiesborough. Yon appear to bo of that class which we need at this crisis; you shall be welcome to hunter's fare." This honest and open invitation made Norwood's heart beat with pleasure, for he trusted he should again see the fair maiden for whose sake he had dared the proud Frenchman's ire. "Will you go with us?" asked the pioneer, addressing Le Bland. "Not now, I will follow presently," replied tho latfpr. Daniel Boone and Allan Norwood then walked toward Bonesborough, whie the Frenchman, giv ing our hero a threatening glance, moved slowly away. (To he continued.) Kthcrcul.

(out of MuUlnir lluUrr. In a recent report, published by the Iowa State Dairy Commissioner, the average cost of producing one pound of butter Is given as follows: In the creamery that makes 40,000 pounds of butter per year, it costs four cents to make one pound of butter, nnd In a creamery producing 50,000 pounds It costs 3 4-10 cents to make one pound; while In creameries making l.)0,000 pounds per year, It costs only lt5 cents. In some of the very large central plants, that aro producing over oKlfiin ik.iiikIsi i,t toil toe tun- year, It I . costs 1.4 cents) per pound.
