our hero took his rille nn.l sallied forth
to explore the country little anil learn
liow near thrv micSit be to Booneshor-
ough and llarrodshurg, when ho- aeoi
oent.Mly became a nartv to the scene
between Kosalthe Alston ami I.e Bland
Allan was the son of a wealthy farm
er ami received a verv liberal education.
Naturally bold and adventurous, he felt
strong repugnance to any of the learn
wd professions. He longed for a life of
activity. Accounts were daily reach ins
Ohio, through various channels, of the
puflfermgs and romantic adventures of
Daniel Boone. Benjamin Logan, John
llarrod and other pioneers; and those re
tiiarkatile stones made Allan conceive
the bold design of penetrating to that
wild region, to share in the excitement
and danger of a baekwoodsmau's life
This resolution being formed and
plan of operation matured, the requisite
material, in the shape of enterprising
young men. was speedilv found to co
operate with him, and the perilous under
taking was achieved.
As Allan walked toward Booneshor-
ough with its daring founder he could
Hot refrain from observing Mm with deep
interest; and he truly appeared to him
the most remarkable man of the age; for
he had. explored alone the mighty for-
sts of Kentucky, braving siugly the fury
of the exasperated savages, who follow
ed his footsteps day aud night to de
stroy Mm and prevent him from carry
ing; back to his countrymen the history
of the most delightful country under
lieaveu. But thus far he had escaped
the deadly hostility of the wily sav
age, and the man of sleepless nights and
weary days, ordained by God to carry
life and civilization into the distant wil
derness, now stood beside our hero with
v firm foot and lofty brow.
When they reached Boonesborough
Norwood paused to examine the manner
in which it was constructed. It con
sisted of a dozen cabins built of heavy
logs, ingeniously interlaced at the ends,
and separated from each other by por
tions of the same material. These cab
ins formed one side of the fort, being
highest on the outside, the roofs inclin
ing inward. Strong stockades were rais
ed around these at suitable distance,
and in the angles of the cabins block
houses of the most substantial kind were
erected. These projected about twenty
inches beyond the outer walls of thj
cabins and stockades, and were amply
provided with loopholes. Allan, after
making these observations, remarked
"that the whole must have been the work
of considerable labor."
"You are right, young man. and it was
tiot only a work of much labor, but a
work often interrupted by sudden at
tacks of the savages. It reminded me of
Nehemiah repairing the walls of Jeru
alem, when his workmen wrought with
one hand and held the spear with the
Other," replied the pioneer; and then led
the way to a large pate of slabs, upon
which he struck a few blows 'with the
tiutt of his rifle. Directly footsteps were
heard and' a voice asked:
' Who dar?" '
'lt is one of our colored fellows," re
marked Boone to Allan, and then re
plied to the negro's reasonable inquiry:
-It is me, Andrew."
"I doesn't know any sich white fei
ler," was the immediate response.
"Come, don't keep us waiting; hurry,"
rejoined Boone.
"Dat you, Massa Boone?" asked An
drew, in more respectful tone.
The forester replied that it was; the
negro opened the door, and the parties
entered the inclosure. Allan glancd at
Andrew while he was closing the gate,
and perceived that he was considerably
advanced in life, his woolly hair being
gray with age, though his figure was not
bowed by the weight of years.
"A faithful, but rather eccentric fel
low is Andrew," observed Captain
l?'one. He then lifted the rude latch
and ushered "the young hunter into his
cabin. A respectable looking female met
him on the threshold, whom he intro
duced to Allan as Mrs. Boone. A young
woman of eighteen or twenty he pre
sented as his daughter Elizabeth. Nor
wood had entertained a hope that the
maiden whom he had seen in the morn
ing might prove to be the daughter of
the famous pioneer, but when his gaze
rested upon Elizabeth Booue, although
f-he was fair, he could not so far master
his feeliiigs as to realize no disappoint
ment at the discovery. A lad of about
fifteen years of age was cleaning the
tube of a rifle, and was the "forester's
so n.
Captain Boone informed his family
that his guest, who was from the State
of Ohio, had come to examine the coun
try, and hoped he would receive such
hospitality as their poor dwelling could
afford; to which Mrs. Boone responded
Til 'an appropriate anil kindly manner,
and set about making preparations for
dinner.
While the meal was being prepared,
Allan proceeded to relate the particu
lars of the morning's adventure, to which
his host listened with earnest attention.
"Did you hear any portion of the con
versation that passed between the young
woman und the Frenchman?" he asked.
"I am quite certain that I heard the
latter refer to some danger of an immi
nent aud pressing kind that menaced this
ettlemeut, or the neighboring one."
"And you say, moreover, that he wish
ed to extort a promise of some kind
from her?" continued Booue.
"It wus that which caused me to In
terfere in her behalf; aud the promise
of secrecy I doubt not had reference
to tho dauger which threatens you," re
joined Allan.
"This matter may be of the greatest
importance to us, Mr. Norwood. Were
there any names mentioned, that you caa
(member?" resumed the forester,
'"Yes, t name was mentioned which 1
recollect. Du Qtiesue, I think It
Daniel Boone sprang from his sent
with a sudden and angry impulse.
"Du Qi'iesne, did you say, sir?" he
exclaimed. "Then there Is indeed dan
ger, for he 4s an instrument to do us
harm. The Indians will rally around
him to crush us. I have heard his name
he acts under the authority of the Brit
ish posts, and has been active In dis
tributing arms and ammunition among
the savage tribes."
"Allow me to inquire who this I.e
Bland is who came so near sending a
bullet through my body?" rejoined Allan.
"lhat question Is not easily answerel
young man. I need information on the
subject myself. He came among us
about four weeks ago. He has man
aged to make himself peculiarly agree
able to Esquire Alston, aud that he
loves his handsome daughter Kosalthe is
no secret among us. The girl fears him.
What the secret of his influence is. I
have not been able to discover."
Does Mr. Alston favor the preten
sions of the Frenchman?" asked Allan,
earnestly.
Most decidedly. Esquire Alston was
formerly a man of wealth, ami could
indulge in the luxuries of retined life.
He also has indubitable claims to a no
ble ancestry. He married into a distin
guished family, and his daughter receiv
ed an education far superior to that
which usually falls to the lot of young
ladies. . Having lost most of his wealth
by an unfortunate investment, he turned
his attention to this new country, and
had the courage to dare a pioneer's life.
but if Squire Alston has aiiy weak point.
it is that his sweet daughter should mar
ry a gentleman.
The conversation was interrupted at
that moment by the entrance of Simon
Kenton, a man whose name is honorably
mentioned In the annals of Kentucky
history. His face had a frank and hon
est expression which served ns a pass
port to the good opinion of Allan. The
brief ceremony of introduction .had
scarcely been finished before another in
dividual made his appearance in the
cabin of the pioneer. This was Joel
Logston, a man of extraordinary mus
cular power, and of whose wonderful ex
ploits tradition is yet eloquent. He was
followed by one of the largest and ugli
est dogs that ever aspired to the friend
ship of a human being.
On account of the explosive and fiery
nature of his disposition his master had
bestowed upon him the name of Vesu
vius. Vesuvius was a snappish and fret
ful cur, given to sudden, violent and dan
gerous eruptions of the lava of wrath,
when it became imperatively necessary
for all within a certain area to with
draw themselves speedily to escape in
stant worriment with tooth and nail.
This ungentle mastiff always walked
about six inches behind Joel Logston,
except when engaged in his favorite pur
suit of hunting, for on these occasions
he was invariably in advance of every
thing In the shape of quadruped or bi
ped. Joel Logston was quite as celebrated
or his marvelous narrations and extrav
agant style as for his physical strength.
No man of the three settlements could
tell with such incomparable self-posses
sion and coolness such stories as he did.
With this strong procli ty to exaggera
tion was combined a rough drollery and
good nature that made him at all times
a very agreeable companion. If Joel had
any malice in his heart it manifested it
self in putting Andrew in mortal fear
by causing Vesuvius to show his teeth
and make several hostile demonstrations
toward him. Nor was Andrew the only
subject of these currish persecutions.
Mr, Alston's colored man. Exquisite Eb
ony, was another martyr to Joel aud his
mastiff.
While Allan was partaking of tho
substantial hospitality of the pioneer in
the form of excellent venison and other
wholesome and palatable viands, Log
ston amused all the parties by relating
one of his recent adventures, in which
he asserted, with much modesty of man
ner, that he had no doubt slain four
teen Indians with his own hand, besides
doing to death a litter of bears of six
months, with their sire and dam. Fur
the truth of this reasonable statement
he appealed to Vesuvius, who answered
with a short, sharp and expressive yelp,
and then fixed his fiery eyes upon An
drew in such a threatening manner that
the latter retreated to the farthest cor
ner of the room, rolling his eyes in great
alarm.
Simon Kenton, though a braver man
in the hour of danger never held a rifle,
sat silent and reserved as a young maid
en; but Allan observed that his eyes
sought the neat figure of Lizzie Bonne,
as she moved lightly about the dwelling.
CHAPTER IV.
Kosalthe returned to the fort much
perplexed and agitated by the singular
conduct of Le Bland. Notwithstanding
the high place which he occupied iu the
estimation of her father, she had never
valued him as an acquaintance; on the
contrary, she had never felt at ease in
his society. The cause of her aversion
to tho insinuating Frenchman she could
not herself understand fully; but it was
not the less genuine for that reason.
Encouraged by her father's good opin
ion, he had made declarations lit various
times of the nature ami tendency of
which she could not affect to misappre
hend. Kosalthe, on all such occasions,
had given no word of hope, and with a
careful regard to his feeling endeavor
ed to make known her sentiments with
out wounding his pride.
The conversation which had trimspor
ed on the bank of the river appeared
abundantly confirmatory of her fears and
auspicious. To the young stranger wuu
had ao opportunely appeared to assist
her she felt truly grateful; but the re
flection that she bad possibly involved
him in a quarrel with a dangerous man
added much to the anxiety of her mind.
She was on the point of making known
the siate of ber feelings to her father,

I regret tilling her eves. She was much i A,-rA.z ,i'--,'"'i. "t; aP
pained that a man of her fathers dis
crimination should be so egregiously de
ceived in the Frenchman's character. But
she was misapprehended: for Alston, ob
serving her confusion, attributed It whol
ly to another cause ami remarked, with
a meaning smile, that "she need not be
confused about the matter, for he fully
appreciated her feelings and should not
reproach her for anything that might
have passed between I.e Bland and her
self, of whose honorable Intentions he
was entirely persuaded."
And to make Kosalthe's position more
mortifying, Mrs. Alston observed In re
lation to the subject of her husband's
eulogy: "That he was a very pleasant
gentleman, and she hoped her daughter
woul I be so fortunate as never to form
any acquaintance less respectable: and
che should not object to her preferences
when they were so judiciously made, as
In the present Instance."
Mr. Alston then hinted that he was a
man of wealth and was about to make
a large purchase of land lying on tho
opposite bank of the Kentucky river,
lie stated that the idea was a good one,
and would prove exceedingly profitable,
ns it would doubtless quadruple in a few
years the capital Invested. Kosalthe
perceived at once that her father's mind
was tilled with a splendid bubble, which
would burst sooner or later and end in
n cruel disappointment. Whether her
fears magnified the danger and trial in
reserve for her or himself, time only
could prove: luit it was plainly appar
ent to her that the wily Frenchman ex
ercise 1 almost unbounded influence over
her father's movements.
It appeared to her that the time had
come to speak boldly and reveal all that
her promise did not oblige her to lock
within her own bosom. She could assure
her father that he had completely mis
taken her sentiments in regard to I.o
Bland, and that she disliked him with
more real intensity than she was sup
posed to love him.
While thoughts of this nature were
passing rapidly through her mind, ttie
door was openel by Ebony, the colored
servant, and the subject of her thoughts
entered the cabin. He glanced quickly
from one to t!i other, greeting them
with his accustomed suavity. He took
a seat near Mr. Alston and conversed
with him in that peculiar, agreeable, easy
and confidential manner which had so
won upon his esteem.
Kosalthe could overhear but little of
what was said, but she often caught such
words as "land, loans, investment."
which induced her to believe that the
land speculation was the one under dis
cussion. - ,
Le Bland finally arose and approached
our heroine and sam to ner in a low
voice:
"Pardon my earnestness this morning.
My desire to save you from what ap
peared a pressing dauger made me, I
fear, somewhat rude. I am happy to
say now that 1 was not correctly inform
ed in regard to Captain Dit Qtiesne aud
his intentions. You may sleep iu safety,
fair Kosalthe, and rest assured that thero
is one who will shield you from Indian
cruelty."
"Then you free me from my position ?'
returned Kosalthe.
"No. gentle Kosalthe," lie answered, in
his most engaging tones. "I cannot ab
solve you from your promise; for speak
ing of the subject might produce unnec
essary alarm. Moreover, I design to
make further Investigation of the matter
and learn the real extent of the dau
ger, if any exists, your father shall be
duly and properly informed of every
thing. Take your accustomed walks as
though nothing had happened, being
careful not to go too far away from the
fort, and I promise not to interrupt or
you, or speak iu relation to ony subject
not agreeable to you. Deal with me fair
ly and truly, and you shall not have no
occasion to regret it, I assure you."
