THE RED STORM
Or the Days of Daniel Boone

CH.YPTKK VIII.
Allan's cheeks grew red with ruse, but
lie disdained to answer such a false
hood. '.Mr. Norwood don't look like a man
who would receive the- kind of disci
pline yon speak of very patiently," ob
served Boone, surveying with a smile
Allan's stalwart proportions.
"Who knows this young man? Who
can vouch for him?" demanded Alston.
"Those who on me with me to Ken
tucky, and would willingly Touch for my
veracity and honor, are now at Ilarrods
burg." said Allan.
"He Is a worthless adventurer"' ex
claimed I.e Bland. "And I trust I shall
again have the pleasure of chastising his
arrogance."
"Don't be too free." said Logston.
giving hi. prisoner a hearty shake.
"Andrew!" said Boom.
"Vcs. massa," replied the negro, pre
dentin;; himself.
"You are to keep watch of Monsieur
Le Bland and see that he does not es
cape from the block-house. Take your
gun and keep guard at the door."
"Shall I shoot him. massa?' asked An
drew. "Not until he tries to escape," was
the reply.
Til do dat. sir." said Andrew.
"See that you do. if you value your
skin; for look yon, darkey, our lives are
depending on it." added the captain.
"I ken do it just like nuilln. You
ken trust dis chile as fur as you ken
see him."
"And not much further." said Boone '
to himself. Turning to Mr. Alston, he
resumed, in a serious voice: "Trust my
judgment for this time and do not im
agine that I am actuated by unworthy
motives. If I am doing any person the
least injustice in acting as I am, I will
be the first to confess my error when it
becomes fully apparent. I never took
pleasure in wronging any human being,
and I am getting too old to learn many
new tricks now. This Le Bland I know
Is a personal friend of yours; but he is
no true man; he is a spy a wolf in
sheep's clothing, and all the time he has
beeu with us he has ben in correspond
ence with our enemies. Let me assure
you that Kosalthe can tell you more of
him than you would like to hear."
"I dare say you mean well. Captain
Boone. I have no reason to distrust
your friendship, but it does appear to
nie that some enemy has done this."
As Mr. Alston spoke, he looked as
kance at Allan, who well understood
what he meant.
"You wrong the young man, air, my
word for It you do, and the time will
come when you will confess your error.
This very day, Mr. Alston, this good
friend of yours had an appointment with
Silas Girty and the chief of the Miauiis,
and I should not be surprised if we
were surrounded by Indians and French
men before the sun has sunk in the west.
I tell you we are in danger, but I do
not fear it for myself it is of our wom
en and children I am thluking."
"Have I not a father's heart also?
'Am I not at this moment suffering all
the agony a parent's heart can feel?
Is not my darling torn from me by sav
age hands? O, Captain Boone, let us
reconcile these differences and hasten
after my daughter," replied Alston, in a
voice husky with emotion.
"All that mortal man can do shall
be done, and yet the fort must not be
left without defenders," returned the for
ester. At that moment there was an ener
getic knocking at the gate. Ebony was
ordered to undo the fastenings, and a
strong, resolute-looking man, with a rifle
upon his shoulder, entered.
The Individual who appeared was
Bland Ballard, whose services as a spy
during the early history of Kentucky
will never be forgotten. His bold step
and firm bearing proclaimed him all
that he had the reputation of being a
daring, trustworthy and efficient man,
fitted for great emergencies and vicissi
tudes of frontier life.
"Ballard, 1 am glad to see you," cried
the pioneer, grasping the hand of the
scout. "What news have you? What
of the Indians? Auy new movements?"
"Well, cap'u, you'd better stop and
get your breath," said Ballard.
"The fact is, we are rather excited
here, Ballard," replied Boone.
"Should think so, but you'll be likely
to get more excited by and "by, I reckon,
if nothin in the course of nater breaks."
"That's jest what we're a feared on,"
remarked Logston, who had executed his
commission, and was now waiting further
orders.
"There's Ingitis!" said the scout mys
teriously; "there's no doubt but there's
lnglns!"
'"Unquestionably," returned Boone
dryly.
"And there's another kind o varmints
called Frenchmen," resumed Bullard.
"How many?" asked Boone.
"Well, I should naterally say the
woods were full on 'em, to speak after
a similitude of a figure 'cordin to Scrip
ter." "There'll be fighting, then," said the
pioneer, musingly.
"That's about the English on't that
Is, unless sometbiu' "
"Breaks!" interrupted Logston, with
a mischievous smile.
"Sartiniy," said Ballard. "The fact o'
the case is, we must shut ourselves up
liere and bold agin the nateral heathen
of this sile to the very last, and longer
if possible."
"You may shut yourself up as fast as
you please, but I rather expect I shall
take a turn around these here parts, to
nee what's going on; because, you see,
I don't likv to take nothin' second-hand
like," said Joel Logston.
"We all know It, Logston, and there
fore we can't spare you. We shall want
you to do some of your nice shooting,"
remonstrated Boone.
But Joel, when once resolved upon
anything, would always have his own
way, and, notwithstanding all that could
te said by way of remonstrance and en
treaty, be mounted bis horse and rode
war.
ROBINSON
CIIAITEK IX.
Logston crossed tho new clearings,
and took the narrow footpath leading
to Harrodshurg. He had proceeded
about two miles, when he was loudly
hailed as follows:
. "Stop there, you Joel logston; 1 want
a few words with you."
"Hullo! Who are you?" exclaimed
Joel, reining up his horse.
A man with high cheek bones and
downcast eyes, dressed In Indian style,
emerged from the bushes and stood be
fore Logston.
"I'm glad I've met you," said the
man; "it may be the means of savin
much trouble, you know. I'm Silas
Clrty."
"And a mean-lookln' scamp you are."
observed Logston, with perfect self
composure. "Ugh!" exclaimed dirty, with a scowl.
"Oct out with your Infernal Ingln non
sense," responded Joel. "You aiu't an
Ingln, nor ain't fit to be one."
"Be careful, my- fiery lad, because
you'd better bear In mind that you're
in a rather ticklish position about now."
"I nin't a feared."
"Hear what I've got to say, and It'll
be better for you In the long run."
"I never run," said Joel.
"1'Ve come agin' Boonesborough with
a great army, and mean to take it;
not !uu this side t'other world can save
It: but I'd rather they'd give in and
knock under without fightin', for you
know Ingins can't be restrained when
they get a taste of human blood; they
have a nateral hankerin' for blood," r
sumed Girty.
"What terms do you offer, provldin'
they'll give in without com in' to hard
knocks?" asked Joel.
"Why, I'll let 'em all, big and little,
young and od, march out of the coun
try unmoested. Ain't that ar' merciful,
magnanimous-like?"
"Uncommon! But what are you golu'
to do with Ilarrodsburg?"
"Sarve it the same; cruelty's no part
of my natur'."
"I'm beginnin to like you." observed
Joel, with a curious expression.
"You're a game chicken, Logston.
I've often heerd on ye, and If you'll
join us. I'll give you a thousand acres
of prime land as soon as we've druv
out Boone and his fellers, and all the
rest on 'em."
"Now. that's what I call glnerous!"
exclaimed Joel.
"So It is, Logston; It Is the glnerouf
policy that tells In all military leaders,
and I've lately added it to my other var
tues. But there's one thing I e'enamost
forgot to mention. The fact Is, I'm not
a married man, and to come right to the
p'iut, and to speak out manful-like,
there's a gal up there to the fort that
has made a monstrous effect on me."
"What's her name. Captain Girty?"
"Eliza Ballard."
"Who?" asked Logston, with a start
"Eliza Ballard," repeated Girty.
"Bright gal, captain, bright gal!" ex
claimed Joel, with forced composure.
"I know she la. I've watched her
when she went down to the spring for
water. But I've got two strings to my
Ihw, my boy; if I shouldn't succeed with
Eliza, ther's Fleming's darter, as pretty
a cre'ture as ever the sun shone on. So
between the two I expect my heart wont
get entirely broke down."
'"When the Ballard gal's married, I
hope I shall be present at the weddiu',"
remarked Joel, sentimentally.
"I'll make sure on't by askln' ye now.
And hark! jine me in this affair, nnd
I'll say fifteen hundred acres Instead of
a thousand."
"Say two thousand, Captain Girty,
and I'm your man."
"Well, I don't care; it won't make no
great odds; so two thousand it is."
"Give rue that bread hook o' yourn,"
said Joel, cordially extending his hand.
"Here 'tis," responded Girty; "I shall
live to see you a rich land owner yet."
"A lot about six feet by two, per
haps," muttered Joel. "I'll carry your
terms up to the fort and do the best I
can; and I'll speak a good word to Miss
Ballard, for she's a beauty, Captain,
without varnish or whitewash."
"I shall depend on you, Logston. I
knew you was my man, if I could only
see you face to face; ami really, It seems
as though I'rovidence brought us to
gether." "It does so," returned Joel; "I reckon
I'll ride down to Harordsburg first, come
to think It over," he added.
"I wouldn't advise you to . do that
The woods ain't quite safe In that di
tection, at this time," said Girty.
"Hold here jest another word about
Eliza Ballard," suid Joel, leaning toward
(iirty, and making a gesture for hi in to
present his ear.
"There's the place I hear with," said
Girty, thrusting his head toward Joel.
"Take that, you sneakln' renegade!"
crieii Logston, planting a stunning blow
exactly Into Glrty's "hearing place"
that fairly lifted him from the ground,
and landed him head foremost in a heap
of brushwood beside the path, where he
lay motionless, with his heels in the
air. Joel cocked his rifle and pointed It
at him, but dropped the muzzle, saying:
"It won't do; the report would perhaps
stir up a million redskins. Lay there,
you infernal good-for-nothln', while I
give you my blessin'!" he added, looking
contemptuously at the motionless figure
of Girty. "You ain't nobody to speak
on; you're a vile critter; you're a de
splsable turncoat; I don't know nothing
bad enough to call you. If I had a
knife I'd scalp ye, bang me If I wouldn't,
so your own mother wouldn't know you!
Tali about Eliza Ballard, will ye? Give
me two thousand acres of land! O, you
snipe! you mud turtle! you unmerciful
coward! you double distilled villain!
That's my blessin'. Come away, Vesu
vius; don't touch the dirty critter; a dog
la known by the company he keeps."
The woodsman galloped briskly to
ward Ilarrodsburg, bis ludlgnatlon
mounting higher at every step. Several
times he was on the point of turning
back to dispatch the worthless object who
had dared to aspire to the hand of ElUa
Ballard, n young and comely maiden,
upon whom his own affections had b i
placed fur a long period.
"To think," muttered Joel, "t irtt such
a scamp should entrap such a lovely
girl as Klira! It makes nnv feel ugly
all over. I was s fool that I o.du't make
a finsl end of the boasting blackguard."
The last period of Logston's colloquy
wns scarcely tittered when the crack of
a ritle saluted his ears. His horse stag
gered a few paces and fell, severely
wounded. Before Joel could disengage
himself from the saddle, a rltlo ball
whistled through his hunting shirt, grat
ing the skin, producing s plentiful effu
sion of blood. The hardy forester, In
ured to scenes of danger, was on his feel
In an Instant, firm and self possessed,
casting keen and rapid glances around
him to discover hit foes. The smoke
from their rifles was curling gracefully
upward, but they were Invisible, having
hidden themselves behind trees. Th
quick and searching eye of Joel was not
long st fault. In reloading his gun. on
of his enemies exposed a portion of his
body. Logston fired, and the savage
cried out and fell. Another Indian Im
mediately rushed from his hiding place
with a loud yell snd uplifted tomahawk.
The woodsman clubbed his ritle; his as
sailant Instantly stopped, and hurled the
weapon in his hand with such precision
that It would have been fatal to hint
had he not. with cat like agility, sprung
aside, thus avoiding It.
Logston now rushed upon him. think
ing to dispatch him by a well aimed
blow- with his clubbed rille. but the wary
savage anticipated his Intentions. In ev
ery Instance, managed to eiude his furi
ous blows. The conflict went on in this
manner for a considerable time, with no
advantage on the part of Joel. Finding
that this kind of warfare was of no
avail, anil that he was wasting his
strength In vain, he threw away his ritle
and closed with his adversary In a hand-to-hand
struggle.
Logston grasped the athletic savage In
his sinewy arms and dashed hint to the
earth, but found It quite out of the ques
tion to hold him there; for he was nearly
nude, and his skin was so unctuous that
he could easily slip from beneath his
op ponent.
As neither was armed, the struggle
was long and desperate, Joel continuing
to throw his antagonist to the ground,
and he contriving, as often, to slip from
his grasp. Thus they exhausted their
strength, without giving or receiving any
fatal Injuries.
The forester, perceiving that his mus
cular powers were rapidly falling, adopt
ed a new plan of offensive operation.
As often as the savage attempted to
ariso after he had hurled him to the
ground, he dealt him a blow just under
the ear that knocked him down again.
This change of tactics operated admira
bly, and the Indian's swollen and bat
ten". 1 face soon gave tokens of Its effi
ciency ; his energies wero fast falling,
and his efforts grow less vigorous. At
length a blow, well directed snd power
ful, caused hi in to lie motionless, and
Joel was about to grasp hi throat and
strangle him, when he perceived that ha
was silently ami stealthily endeavoring
to get his knife from his leathern sheath.
logston seized the weapon and plung
ed it Into the Indian's bosom. He ex
pired with a hollow groan, and the
woodsman leaned against a tree, panting
with exertion, to rest after the conflict.
Casting his eyes toward the spot
where the other savage had fallen, he
perceived that ho was still living, and
with heroic firmness hail succeeded In
reloading h!s gun, although It was evi
dent from his movements that his spine
was broken. The wounded and wretch
ed, though determined, being had Hot
sufficient command over his disabled
body to sit upright long enough to fire;
but as often ns he attempted to present
his gun, he fell forward upon his face;
and again struggling with the uncon
querable spirit, which neither pain nor
danger could subdue, braced himself with
his weapon fur another trial.
Upon the writhing warrior there was
depicted an expression of mortal hatred
and impotent fury that even Logston
shuddered as he staggered away from
tho spot.
"Miserable cre-tur!" he exclaimed,
"Your back's broke, nnd you can't never
git over it; so I'll leave you to fight it
out with death the best way you ran;
but you'd better bo dead a hundred
times."
Jiwl's horse had gotten upon his feet
again, and did Hot appear to be scriously
injured.
"We ain't worth much, neither on us,
I reckon," added Joel, addressing the
e ii I in n 1, and caressing his neck affec
tionately. "But you mu-try to get me
to Boonesborough some fy or other.
At that stage of the woodsman's upos
trophe to his horse, a cry from the
wounded Indian attracted his attention,
and looking In that direction the cause
was at once apparent. Vesuvius, who
precious to the fight had scented a deer
and followed him some distance, had
now returned to search for his muster,
and seeing the wounded savage sitting
upon the ground, Instantly attacked him.
Springing upon tho ill-fated being, the
dog sunk his sharp teeth Into the throat,
and with continual shakings, dragging
and bltlngs, worried the life from his
body.

The old theory that aap could not

the roots of a tree or vine are frozen,
has been shown to bo faulty by an
Interesting exerlment at the Missouri
station. The top of a grapevine grow
ing by the side of a house was drawn
through a hole Into a warm room, and
this top leaved out and made several
inches of growth while tho roots wero
tightly locked In frozen earth. Tho
tops store up in their own branches
during the fall the cellular energy for
the earliest growth the following
spring, while the roots are thawing
out, hence the theory that early bloom
ing can be provided by heavy mulch
ing over the roots after a hard freeze
to keep the sun's warmth from thaw
ing the ground is fallacious. When the
sun warms up the tops and the sap
starts Independent of wood action, tho
buds swell and eventually burst into
bloom.

A giMid many cases of tuberculosis
In hogs, we fear, can be traced to tho
creamery, due to the fact that tho
skim milk has not been heated' to a
sulfide ntly high temperature or kept
at that temperature long enough to de
stroy the germs, says Kimball's Dairy
Farmer. Ordinarily It Is assumed that
henls become In filled through bring
ing other animals among them, but
tho (jtiestlon of tuberculosis Infection
through the skim milk from the cream
cry Is becoming ho serious that It will
eventually lead to compulsory pasteuri
zation of skim milk. Indeed, this Is
now required In some States, notably
Minnesota, but tho trouble Is that tho
buttcrinakers do not heat the sklui
milk hot enough or keep It at that tem
perature long enough.
Milking; Marhlnea.
At the National Dairy show In Chi
cago a milking machlno was on exhibi
tion In practical operation. For a great
many years Inventors have worked on
this problem. Several times It has been
reported that tho dltllcultles have been
overcome, and that a practical machlno
was tho result But up to tho present
time the old fashioned hand manipula
tion has prevailed. It Is to be hoped
that tho Inventor has succeeded this
time, because milking Is one of the
hard tasks that comes twice a day,
Sundays and holidays and all. Wo
have machinery to help out In every
other branch of tho business, why not
