Allan Norwood had moved silently

looking for some indication of an In

Ms nose to the ground and iliil not ston

Attracted by his oondnet. Allan care

And shrubbery, he perceived that they

keeping e se to the w ater's edge.
The singular reiuest of I.e I'.land. t-
have the whole affair of the pursuit of
the Indians and the recovery of Rosa!
the committed exclusively to his hands,
had not been without its iniluonee upon
Allan. It had aroused all his energies
nnd caused him to feel justly indignant
thtt the Frenchman's assurance should
extend so far. In consequence of this
feeling and the impression which Miss
Alston's heauty had made upon him, he
resolved to make every effort in his
power to unravel tne mystery that now
hurig over the fate of the maiden.
He moved on like one in a dream.
Rosalthe was in danger, it is true; hut
had not fortune so or lore, 1 it that he
phould he her deliverer? Had lie li-.t
read. of such tilings a hundrel times in
books? He was youm:. strong and dar
ing: he would .lis, 'over her. in a position
of treat danger, and save her, after
achieving unheard of exploits.
Daniel 1". 'one. Simon Kenton or .Tool
Logston would have reas mod rather dif
ferently and seen things in another light.
mniuestionaMy : loit they could not have
drawn mere vivid pictures than did Al
lan. When the mini is occupied with treat
and hopeful subjects, time flies uuicklv;
-.. i i. i .11 . '
mi'i ii iiour wiiu .iian was suen a
mere fragment that it passed unnoticed:
although duriut that per:.. 1 he had walk
ed several miles through a tract of coun
try so delithtful that it called up the
idea of another IMen, planted upon Ken
tucky river. Allan stopped, and leaning
upon his ritle. contemplated the beauty
of the scene. A low, warning growl
from Vesuvius caused him to turn his
eyes in another direction. An Indian
was standing 1
branches of a patriarchal oak. Allan'
first impulse was to cock his ritle; but
the Indian calmly pointed to his own,
which was reelinins ngflinst the tree
vithin his reach, and the youm; man
felt assured that his intentions were not
liostile. The red man was the first to
speak.
"Son of the paleface, fear not. Had
Otter-Lifter intended you harm, you
would have ceased to live already; f .r
Lis eye has been on you for a lone time,"
Mid the Indian, in very good English.
"I feel that the words of the red man
fire true," replied Allan, adopting the
ftyle of speaking characteristic of the
Indian races.
"Whence came yon, and where do you
go?" asked Otter-Lifter.
"I am from Hounesborough." said Al
lan. "One of our young maidens has dis
appeared from the fort."
"The paleface is hunting for her?"
-Yes."
"And you suppose that some of my
people have stolen her away?"
"That was my thought," replied Al
lan. Otter-Lifter looked searching!)- at the
joirtig hunter, and said:
"Men who have red skins can tell
truth as well us those who have white.
If oue of your maidens has been car
ried away by any of our people, It is
Koinething unknown to me."
Allan could not help being struck with
the noble bearing of the Cherokee. He
had heard him spoken of by Captain
Uoone as ono who condemned and de
spised the cruelties of his race, and h
lelt that he had good reason to congrat
ulate himself that he had fallen in with
a chief ho celebruted for his love of jus
tice and humanity.
Otter-Lifter was a remarkable man,
He had raised himself to renown as a
warrior without ever having killed wom
en or children or prisoners. His friend
his word and his rifle wore all he cared
for. He said the Oreat Spirit, when
he made all the rest of the animals,
created man to kill and eat them, lest
they should consume all the grass; that
to keep men from being proud he suf
fered them to die aso, or to kill one
another and make food for worms; that
life and death were two warriors always
fighting, with which the Great Spirit
amused himself.
"You are in danger here," added Otter-Lifter.
"IU'turn to the big wigwam
or you will perish at the hands of my
warriors. Go, paleface, go in peace, and
tell your people that there is one among
the red nations that loves mercy."
"You speak like a great chief," said
Allan; "but how can I go back without
the maiden? Her friends are sad; all
hearts are heavy at the great fort."
"Otter-Lifter hag spoken. He knows
I.othing of the paleface maiden. Is it
not enough?" replied the Cherokee with
dignity.
"It is possible that some of your war
riors have carried her away without your
knowledge," returned Allan.
"Then they shall carry h'-T back,"
Fa hi the Cherokee grimly. "I would
fain live in peace with the palefaces, al
though they are driving us from our
lands and destroying our glorious hunt
ing grounds."
"There is," returned Allan, after a
pause, "a Frenchman at the big wig
warn, who talks, It is said, of making
large purchases of land. Do you know
Llm?"
"Uj white brother U inquisitive; be
ROBINSON
speaks of that which does not concern
him. What cares Otter-l.lfter about the
Frenchman's schemes? If he is treat
ing for lands, is the chief of the Chcr.
kees a woman that he should tell all h.
knows to every one that asks him?"
"I meant no offense," said Allan. "It
was only yesterday that the Frenchman
had a talk with the missing maiden, and
he used language that 1 liked not."
"He is called among my people Shols
ka. which means Smooth-Tongue," re
plied the Indian, with a disdainful smile.
And without another word walked swift
ly away. Norwood gaiod after him a
moment, and then turned to retrace hi
steps to the f.Tt. He had accomplished
about two-thirls of the distance, when
feeling somewhat fatigued, he sat dovu
to res; a moment.
Suddenly Vesuvius startel up and
sniffed the air and at the same time
Allan caught a glimpse of a human
figure moving hurriedly among the trees.
He imme ia "ely concealed himself behind
a log as well as he could, and putting his
hand on the neck of his canine com
panion, kept him still.
The figure approached and proved to
be that of a white man. Allan was
about to rie from his place of conceal
ment when another party appeared and
caused him to forego his purpose. The
second comer was an Indian, and th.
two advanced to within a few paces of
our hero.
"Where is S.nooth-Tongue ?" askel the
Indian, rather indifferently.
"Hasn't come. I've been waiting a
long time," replied the white man.
The white man was Silas (iirty, an
individual well known to the settlers of
Kentucky. He was a faithless, treach
erous fellow, celebrated for nothing save
being friendly to the Indians, and incit
ing them to acts of aggression and cru
elty. He led many of the attacks that
were made upon I'.ooneshorough and
Harrodsburg. His' companion was a
chief of the Mi, mis, called the I.ittle-
iurt:e. a cnaract.-r also menCone
the annals of frontier warfare.
"Are the Mianiis ready to mak
in
an
attack?" asked I Iirty.
"The bold Mianiis are ready; they ar"
always ready when the warwhoop s Is
along the I.or ler. said Little-1 urtie.
"I have seen the Wyandots thev are
ready also. Why should there be any
more delay about the matter? For my
part, I don't see no use in it; every hour
that goes by without being improved is
an hour lost. People will say that we
make war like women and not like men."
"The chief of the Mianiis is ready to
lead his warriors to battle. Let the
Wyandots come on, and we will level
the big wigwam with the .1 1st."
"You talk well: you are a wise chief;
but the Frenchman comes not according
to his appointment.
(iirty and Little-Turtle waited a short
time longer, and then walked from the
sp.it. All-in arose hastily from his place
of concealment, and returned to the fort
without loss of time.
CIIAPTKIi VII.
When Norwood reached the fort he
found Daniel I'oone. Simon Kenton nnd
Joel Logston ready to go in search of
the missing nwiden. I.e I'.land stood
near, with brow overcast and sullen.
He gave Allan one of his peculiar looks
as he joined them.
"Imprudent young man! why did you
leave us?" exclaimed Hooiic
"I would .see you alone, sir," said Al
lan. "This way, then," replied the pioneer.
"Now I will hear you."
Allan without further delay proceeded
to relate circumstantially all that he
had heard.
"A white man and an Indian," re
peated I'.ooue, thoughtfully. "I have
it," he added. "The first was Silas
Girty a man, to use a scriptural phrase,
'full of subtlety and mischief.' "
"The Indian was of small stature,
and chief of the Mianiis." said Allan.
"He is called Little-Turtle, and Is a
dangerous fellow. They spoke of an at
tack, did they?"
Norwood replied in the affirmative,
stating as much of the conversation us
he could remember.
"The Frenchman referred to was no
doubt our amiable friend yonder," con
tinued the pioneer, looking toward Le
Illaud. "I have long suspected him of
playing a double game like this. Leave
him to me; say nothing of this matter,
and we will see what can be done. He
had an appointment with Girty and the
Miami chief, no doubt, but did not think
it prudent to go. I'm much obliged to
you, Mr. Norwood; you have rendered
an important service to me, and to all
the settlers. You have commenced nobly
the life of a pioneer."
"Hut what do you think of Otter
Lifter? Out his word be relied on?"
asked Allan.
"It is my opinion that it can. If he
has assured you that he knows nothing
of Miss Alston, I am, for one, inclined
to believe him," said I'oone.
"What, then, can be accomplished?
In what direction shall we look for the
young lady?" continued Allan earnestly.
"Those are dilllcult questions. If a
number of us leave the fort In search of
Uosulthe, that very moment will prob
ably bo the signal for an attack by our
enemies," replied Hoone.
He made a gesture for Kenton and
Logston to approach, Le Hlum! being tit
that moment busily engaged with Mr.
Alston,
The information which Allan had
brought was briefly stated, und for a
short space not a word was spoken by
either party, each striving to lind out
by some mentul process what was best
to be done.
"It's, my opinion," said Joel Logston,
at length, "that the Frenchman had bet
ter be done for. What do you think,
Kenton?"
"Watch him, and shoot him down on
the first appearance of treachery," re
plied Kenton.
"And what Is your opinion?" asked
Hoone, turning to Allan,
"I concur with Mr. Kenton."
"You are wrong, ull of you!" wiclulm-
c.1 T.ngiton. "Why not ntop the ml

"There Is much reason and good sense
in what you say, Joel." returned Captain
ltoone, thoughtfully. "You are about
right. I believe, all things considered. 1
mil sorry that an thing of this kind
should have happened among us. but I
can see no way to avoid It now. Mr.
Alston will feel deeply aggrieved, and
discredit the whole story of his treach
ery. Hut what's the use to falter when
duty points the way, and the 1 es of all
are depending upon promptness of no
tion? Kenton. . mi and Logston may
cage I.e Miami as soon as you please.
Put him iut the black house and leave
him to his pleasant rolled ions."
"It'll be the best Job I've done for a

Ivspera nto, tin new "universal" lan
guage, Seems to be making lm little
progress iii Kurope. When it was put
forw ard by Its inventor, I if. .uiiieiiliof,
utter Volapuk had failed as a common,
tongue for nil races, its chances seem
ed very slim, but now u grout in.iiiy
persons are studying it uml there are
societies fur its propagation in ball' the
big cities between Stockholm and
Cairo. Like its predecessor, It is pro
posed as n solution of the great prob
lem of P.abel, says the I ".alt mini a
News. If nil tin- world no lerstood it
there would bo Ho nee 1 for the Gorman

Russian, ,,r for the American t tackle
German, French, Italian, Uussian,
Sjiiiiiisli uml Crook. Mn tlio common
ground of Kspcranto all men could
moot and bold converse.
Like Volapuk, it is nn :uii!lcl:il lan
guage, innde of Ibe choicer cuts of all
modern tongues. FnglUb, apparently,
us the world's chief lungiiuge, bus giv

with "fromago" for cheese, etc., mid
filter It come Gerinnti, Italian, Span
ish, Swedish, Hutch nnd Russian. Kv
ery civilized tongue lin.s made its con
tribution. A sludy of the Ksporunto vocabiil.irj
Impresses upon one the fact that then;
are an enormous number of words that
are practically the same in every Lu
ropeuii language. Thus, the word for
"pi'lee"' is almost Identical in Fiiglish,
German, Swedish, Dutch, French,,
Spanish, Italian, Polish, 1 1 uiigariu n,
l,oliemi,ui ami Punish. So, also, nre
thousands of other words "coffee,"
"beer," "salt," "wine," ".sugar,"
"night," etc. Dr. Zumciihof, In fashion.
Ing Kspcranto, took full adv iintage of
this fact, ami In coiiseiiieiice uu ordi
nary sentence In his new tongue is un
derstandable, as a rule, to almost ev
ery one. Thus, a Kuropcuii would uess
that "la ro.og eslas siir la tablo"
meant "The roses are on the table,"
and that "La iluino lie In Sinjori IS,
estas tie bela" was Ksperantesc for
"The home of Mr. P.. is very beauti
ful." That such a language has claims t
serious consldcra t Ion Is very plain.
With Its simple grammar and Invari
able Inflections, It Is infinitely less (11111
cult to tin; student than any modern
tongue, Mark Twain once said that
any Intelligent man could get n fair
working knowledge of Knglish In thir
ty days, of French in thirty weeks ami
of German In thirty years, Kspcranto;
tops all of these In simplicity. A ghincci
at a lesson book shows that a pretty
good acquaintance with Its chief fea
tures should be obtained in thirty
hours.
At tin recent Zionist congress nt
Itasel some of the delegates from re
mote countries communicated with ono
another through the medium of this
neutral tongue. In a few years, per
haps, Its usefulness may bo extended,
uml If the linguistic experts now per
fecting It give It a more Knglish caste,
It uiuy yet nerve the world jfloi'loual.

It Is so easy to feed com and hogs
like It so much better than anything
else that It Is little Wonder that Inost
pork Is raised on corn. Put as Th"
Fanner says :
It Is now being found that swine can
be pastured in good form on rape or
clover or both, and llylshed on mvv
peas or s..y beans. I If course, If a cer
tain amount of corn can be inade to
supplement the f Is month I. the
swine will do much belter. This meth
od of raising swine call be doiic with
out gnat labor. The growing of these
crops has a tendency In Itself to curb b
the land, and when they nre pastured
off by swine the Increase In fertility
Is Just so much greater. There Is an
other very great advantage In grow
ing pork In this way. Swine are likely
to keep In condition and Ihe.v w ill make
a iia!ity of pork that Is If anything
ahead of that grown In the corn coun
try. We have often wondered that this
method of growing swine did not com
mend itself to farmers earlier. That
It did not, however, Is Just In keeiluo
witn the slowness with which many
other Important crops .-engaged the at
telitloll of those who ought to bit most
Interested 111 them.

When one waters plants It Is best to 1
make the soil really wet, and then wait
till I hey need waler again before giv
ing them more. An old gardener says
that the Utile sipilrls every fevv min
utes are worse than useless. They wet
only a small part of the soil and the
remainder often becomes actually dry.
When the pot will make a ringing sound
If struck with knuckle Is the time to
soak them. Then do It thoroughly nmj
stop. Why, you drink only when you
are thirsty, not all the time.
I'oliiU lu Ciirluic for hii I iicubulor.

Set It up carefully nnd according to
Instructions.
Never try to run an Inoubutor lu a
drufty place, nor near u stove, nor
where the sun shines upon It,
Set fertile eggs only. Wuste no ef-
fort upou tliono that are doubtful.
