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.

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. Theso fig
urea clearly show that the larger the
creamery the cheaper butter can he
manufactured, and they also show that
't takes utiout 400 cows, tnnutary to
one factory, before a profitable cream-
ery business can ue established.
