THE RED STORM
Or the Days of Daniel Boone
By JOEL ROBINS O N j
"v.- ------ -
CHAPTKU XVI.
A hurried consult at ion was now holl
among the vol I'M n woo dsuicii, to deter
mine wli.it should he done. Some sug
gested tlint n party of pii kcd men should
ilv;n. with nifi, burst In the door
nl moo tlu savage face to face. But
a young man l.v the inline of Reynolds
proposed a plan which iio: r.l most
practicable. It was this: One parly whs
to remain in the building where they
wore, nnothor advance to make an a-
nault nion tlio door of the structure holl
In possession iy t It e Indians, while il
third would attempt to gala an entrance
by running along the roofs of the inter
vening cabins an. I effect their object
through the same aperture by which the
enemy had found access.
This scheme appeared very feasible,
for the party remaining could protect
the party upon the roof from the tire of
the enemy outside the work: and the
third party, making a simultaneous at
tack lumn the d'r, would divert the
enemy, giving them two points to defend
instead of one.
This measure wan so well planned and
conducted that it was crowned ly com
plete success, and every Indian within
the block house was slain.
The struggle after the parties entered
the building was brief, but sanguinary,
end the shouts of victory in one block
house were answered by shouts of Joy
troin the other. The pioneer now had
possession of their works; but the victory
was by no means complete, for the
frightful yells of hundreds of savages
filled the wide forests with dreadful
echoes, and blanched the checks of wom
en and children. Wives and mothers
thought of the husbands they had lost
by the hatchet, by the well-sped ball, by
the knife, or the more lingering death of
torture. Fair young maidens thought of
their lovers, and little children clasped
their mothers' knees in terror, their tiny
hands trembling with indescribable fear.
The red sun came and shone upon
many pale faces at Boonesborough. The
firing ceased on both sides.
"You observe, men." said Boone, "that
the Indians fire indiscriminately at our
fort and waste much powder and lead;
Imt we must not follow their example,
for ammunition is worth much more to
us than gold or silver: it is more pre
cious than diamond dust. Fire only
when you see a mark, and the noisy,
bragging rascals will soon keep at a
distance. I know well the worth of am
munition, for I passed weary months
alone in this wilderness, while my broth
el performed a long and dangerous jour
ney to North Carolina for a fresh sup
ply. The time, during his absence, often
hung heavily on my hands. I was sur
rounded by those who continually sought
my life, and or purposes of safety
changed my camping ground every night.
You may depend upon it, I wasted no
jvowder during that period. That expe
rience taught me a lesson of prudence
1 shall never forget."
"I want to speak a word to you pri
vately," said Logston. making signs to
the captain to follow. "I think I've seen
that French feller."
"What makes you think so?" asked
the other.
"Because I saw a face that looked like
his, notwithstanding the paint that had
been laid on it. I was loading my rifle
at the time, and afore I got ready to
fire he had disappeared. So you can rely
on it, he's among the critters, helpin'
them on in their mischief."
"It does not seem possible, at first,
that a man who has received so much
kindness at our hands can be so villain
ously ungrateful anil treacherous. Watch
for him. Logston, and if you can see him
or any one that looks like him. lie sure
to cover him with your rifle," said
I'oone.
"I'll do it! May I be trodden to death
by 'wil l buffaloes if I don't:" exclaimed
Joel, with energy.
The latter and the captain were soon
Joined by others, anil a very Important
subject was discussed. As it was evident
that the station would be besiefietl.it was
necessary that they should be supplied
with water. The spring was situated in
the rear of the fortifications. There was
a well-beaten path leading to it, and
the same for a long distance was sur
rounded by rank grass ami weeds, in
which they had good reason to suppose a
large body of Indians had secreted them
selves. To do without water wag out
of the question.
"I have studied the habits of the sav
nges for many years," observed Mr.
Fleming, "and I believe that I know
something of their cunning. If our men
go for water they will surely be fired
upon, and many of them must inevitably
he slain."
"I think that female wit can free you
from this dilemma," said Matilda Flem
ing, with blushing cheeks. "It shall be
our duty, then, to go to the spring and
procure water. If we go calmly, they
will naturally conclude that their am
buscade is not discovered, and will not
l ie, but v.iit, thinking that the next time
none of the men will take our places,
(teeing that we were not molested."
"Yes. we will go:" exclaimed Kli.u
belh Boone and Kliza Ballard.
"You ure brave gals," saiij Jotd Log
Mou. "The plan Is a good and Judicious
one." observed Mrs. Boone, and Mrs.
Fleming, and all the females said the
tame.
After the objections made by the men
had been successfully overruled by the
women, the plan was put into operation.
In a short time the latter appeared with
pails, resolved to sacrifice themselves, if
the occasion demanded, for those they
loved. The gates were opened by unwill
ing haiids, the devoted and brave women
passed out, and the gallant defenders
of Boonesborough gazed alter tneui witu
Intense anxiety.
It was a moment fraught with deep
end painful Interest. It was observed
that Joel Logston kept his eyes fixed
upon the comely figure of Eliza Ballard,
aud watched ber retreating form with
m! a cheeks.
"I can gut'Si jour thoughts, Joel."

said Maulel Hoone, in a low voice. "You
are wishing that you could Interpose
jour own person between her and the
deadly shafts of the lurking enemy."
"Klght, fir, right!" exclaimed Log
slivi. grasping the captain's hand.
"Heaven knows I would rink my life for
her without a single fear."
When Joel had ceased speaking, the
parties had reached the spot where the
civil waters gushed up from the earth,
and sparkled pleasantly In the morning

chaptku xvn.
Ballard, after parting with Kenton
and Norwood, struck out Into the forest
In a southeastern direction, leaving the
Kentucky river a little to the left. The
scout was In ill humor, for he whs fully
persuaded in his own mind that Allan
was a person to disarrange and foil the
most skillfully devised plans that experi
enced woodcraft could contrive.
"He's a green hand." he muttered to
himself. "He's a M uiiiblin' block In my
way. 1 don't want to be in such com
pany; I want men who have walked up
and down this great country as I have,
when there was a painted ere'tur behind
every bush, and no man could safely
say his life was his own for the next
three seconds. He won't never get back
to Boonesborough with a whole skin.
Sunithin' in the course of n.it ur' w ill nat
erally break."
Having arrived at this stage, and to
him self-evident conclusion, the scout
paused to deliberate on the object of his
present mission. in a short time he
moved on again, decided upon some par
ticular course of action. He traversed
beautiful woodlands. lying in uniform
and graceful swells, where the wild
grape vines mounted gigantic trees,
where innumerable (lowers breathed
their perfume to the balmy air.
It was near the hour of sunset when
Ballard reached the hills. The forester
was thirsty and looked about for water.
Hearing the murmur of a rivulet, he
advanced in that direction and discovered
a small stream gushing from the hills.
Thinking to find cooler and more re
freshing waters nearer the source of the
spring, he followed the streamlet. He
soon perceived that it flowed from one
of the highest of the range of hills, the
sides of which were nearly perpendicu
lar. As the scout threw- himself down
to drink, he observed that the ground
about the spot seemed considerably trod
den. He instantly examined this ap
pearance more particularly and was
convinced that human feet had recently
pressed the soil; and not merely on on
or two occasions, but so often that a
tolerably well-defined path was discern
able. Having satisfied his thirst, Bal
lard discovered that the water gushed
from an oien space in the hillside, a few
steps beyond, and the spot was over
grown with grapevines and hazel, while
the slight footpath tended in that di
rection was lost.
The scout approached the place and.
pulling away the vines, M-rceived, much
to his surprise, the mouth of a small
cave. Having gazeil into the ilarK-nin!
forbidding aperture until his eyes had
become in some measure accustomed to
the darkness, he entered the subterra
nean abode. He groped his way along
until he reached a place where he could
stand erect. He was straining his pow
ers of vision to the utmost, when he was
prostrated by a heavy blow upon his
head. Before the scout had fairly recov
ered his senses his hands and feet were
securely bound.
"I Vine in," said a gruff voice. "I've
got him where he can't do no mischief.
Come in and kindle a lire, and let us see
who we've caught."
Ballard turned his eyes toward the
mouth of fhe cave, and saw two females
glide in. They passed the spot where
he was lying, and one of them lighted n
pile of fagots that had been previously
prepared, and heaped against a large
lock with a cleft at the top which al
lowed the smoke to pass out.
The llames leaped up cheerfully, and
flung a ruddy glare of light upon the
features of the scout. The Indiivdual
who had knocked him down and hound
him, stood by like a surly mastiff, who,
having conquered his adversary, stands
by to give him au additional shake, if
necessary.
"It's Ballard!" he exclaimed, when
the scout's features were revealed by
the firelight.
"Y'ou shouldn't knock a man down
without au introduction," said the spy,
coolly.
"So you've tracked me at last," said
the man.
"I reckon I have," returned the scout,
"and would like to track my way back
again."
"You've made the last tracks you'll
ever make;" cried the other, fiercely.
"I knew something would break," an
sweW'l Ballard.
"You've got a broken head already,
nnd it's my opinion you'll get a broken
neck before you get through with this
business," retorted the man.
"I have a notion your name Is Me
Kee, the bosom friend of that villainous
piece of human natur called Silas Oir
ty," said the scout.
"Mraw it mild or I may make an. end
of you ou the spot," answered McKce
savagely. "You have always been a spy
on our movements, and your death has
been resolved on for a long time, dirty
mid I have been after you for many
weeks."
"Thank ye." said Ballard.
"Oirty will be here in the morning,"
resumed McKee.
"I should rattier have seen him yes
terday morning," observed the scout,
honestly.
"No doubt no doubt!" returned Mc
Kee, with a sinister grin.
Ballard felt little inclination to con
tinue the conversation so uninteresting,
and accordingly turned his attention to
ward the two females. The elder of the
two was obviously of the Indian race,
while the younger was evidently her
daughter. Both were clad in the cos
tume of lavage life. The younger wot
about IS years of age, an! though n
half breed remarkably handsome. The
sc. nit watched her movements with In
creasing interest, fur he fancied he rend
bldic.it ions of pity mid ) input h,v in her
couiiteti'iin e, while her dark eyes nud
n sy cheeks made n deep impression on
his bachelor heart.
Muring the preparation of the cvetiliu
ine.il he did not cease to fnll.iw her ev
ery motion with his eyes. When Mc
Kee had finished his supper In sullen si
lence Ballard was removed to another
portion of the cavern, and additional
means of security made use of. Having
accomplished this business satisfactorily,
the renegade whispered n few words to
his w ife and h-M the place.
"Now." thought Ballard. "Is my time
to devise some method of escape. If
McKee brines Silas tiirty here I shall
certainly be killed; so I must see what
can be done."
The scout had In his pocket a bottle
of pretty good whisky -a beverage of
which the Indians were exceedingly fond
and he resolved to try its virtues upon
Mrs. McKee. He instantly Informed her
of the fact that a bottle of strong water
was deposited In the pocket of his hunt
ing shirt.
This Information seemed to have n
very cheerful effect upon the tawny
spouse, and she proc led with consider
able alacrity to take the coveted treas
ure from t he woodsman's pocket.
The daughter said nothing, nor Indi
cated by word or look miy Interest In
the matter. She sat by the tire absorbed
In thought, and Ballard began to fear
that she had entirely forgotten that such
a person as himself was in the ticinity,
or hail an existence anywhere.
"Too pretty too pretty!" he said to
himself, "to be in such n place as this,
and surrounded by such influences."
Meantime Mrs. McKee tasted the
whisky, and liked It so well that she
tasted again, repeating the operation
with marvelous alacrity and every sign
of enjoyment. She soon grew talkative,
and offered the young woman some of
the beverage, but she refused It with
strong manifestations of repugnance,
which raised her greatly In the scout's
estimation. Mrs. McKee's utterances
grew thick and her conversation incoher
ent. She finally sank upon the earthen
floor, completely overpowered.
"Innis," said the scout, for he had
heard her called by that name, "don't
you think it would look better for me to
be up and walking about than to be
here?"
The maiden glanced toward her moth
er, but made no reply.
"It's hard to die at my time of life,"
added Ballard.
Innis, sighing, fixed her gaze upon the
fire.
"I've got a mother and sister at
Boonesborough." continued the scout.
"Perhaps they'll weep for you," re
plied Innis.
"But I'd rarher save them the trou
ble," he rejoined.
"What have you done to ofTeud tny
father?" asked Innis.
"I reckon I haven't done anything to
offend an honest man."
"I am very unhappy," added the maid
en. "I know that the young woman at
Boonesborough and the other stations
know more than I do. They have friends
to care for and instruct them, while I
lead this ignorant and half savage life."
"You must go to Boonesborough and
live, and persuade your father to be au
honest man," answered the scout kindly.
"I must set you at liberty before my
father comes," she added.
"tiod bless you," said the scout.
Innis McKee approached Ballard and
with her father's hunting knife severed
his bonds, and he sprang lightly to hi
feet,

Spring Is tlii time when the average
amateur (lower gardener makes his
worst mistaken. Too often he buys
seed w hich he ilocs not handle proper
ly, wllh the result that bare spols In
Hie garden show where he expected
beautiful blossom. The young plant
Hint he cpcclci to Mower are killed by
the hot sun or choked under heavy r
dry soil.
The amateur who would rival the
professional llorlsl In the radiance of
bis garden, should nuike ti start now
by sowing the seed of ninny kinds of
showy annuals u boxes or pots, to ho
kept Indoors for nwhlle. The boxes
should haie bole for drainage In the
liotlotn, but should not be so open ns
to keep the soli dry. Ordinary garden
soil tuny Is- used In the bottom, Imt nt
Hie top there should be a lighter soil,
well mixed. The small seed should be
sown on the surface; then Hue soil
spread over tliein and pressed down,
but not so hard a to cause the soil to
bake. Coarse seed can best be planted
In little drills, or each seed pressed
down Into the soil, and the whole cov
ered with a thin layer of earth, a
with the small seed. The soil should
be gently sprinkled with water Imine
dlately after the planting Only the j
quantity of water which the soil can
absorb w ithout Isssunlng soggy should
be given. The Ihix should be wiiteris!
subsequently whenever the soil become
dry a little Isdow the surface.
It Is a good practice to sow the aeo.l
III rows, as this enables the soil to be
stliTi-d to prevent It frmn linking. The
box should be set by the window and
given plenty of light, but at the same
time shleliled'froiii the Imt sun. When
the plants have grown to n fair sl.e, It
will be warm enough outdoor to set
them out In the garden. Only the
stronger plants ihoiil L be rhocn for
replanting. Agortuins, sweet alyssutn,
shapilnigniis. heliotrope, lobelias, nas
turttoins nnd verlsMias can Is' treated
successfully this way.
