"Tvt hivn lookliu at you for a coo( whlli n .von aat ly the firo so ponsivo and tuehinoholy-like. and somehow or othor I took a fancy to you." "I'm audi a hnlf a.tT.iec that 1 don't eoe how anybody living could lc ileued with mo," replied lnni, woopintf xo leutlr. "If anybody eluo should d.iro to cull you a half savaso.

I don't want to make you Mush, uor be forrad on hurt acquaintance; hut if you shouldn't take a likin' to me, I'm sure that in the course of n.itur' somethin' will break." The bold aeout laid his hand on hi heart, as If to intimate that the "s.mie thin " which misht be expected to '"break" was in that particular locality. "lo fro, Mr. Mallard, for I don't feel us though I ought to stand talking with you here. It's not likely we shall meet gaiu," said Innis. "I shall go, but I shall come to see you again," said Itallard. moving to ward the open air. The scout paused and turned once more toward his bene factress. "I hope this affair won't get you into any trouble." he added thoughtfully. "nou't think of me; I shall do very well." returned Innis. hastily. "If you should ever want a protector, or feel the need of a friend, let me know it. and I'll go through tire and water to serve you," he a.lded. And invoking a hearty blessing upon Innis McKeo, he glided quietly out of the cavern, and the cool, free air of heaven kissed his brow. As he hurried from the hills, he forgot the dull ache occasioned by the blow upon his head, and thought only of the renegade's daughter, whose leauty had quite conquered him. lie resolved to eek her again at the earliest opportu nity, and do all in his power to make a favorable impression upon her young heart. CHAPTER XVIII. Allan Norwood raised Simon Kenton from the ground, and discovered that blood was flowing from the sleeve of his hunting shirt. He instantly bared the left arm, and found that a ball had lodg ed in it just below the left shoulder. He then proceeded to bind his handker chief tightly about the limb. In order to stop the profuse hemorrhage. Kenton eoon revived, and sturdily protested that the wound was a mere scratch, and that he should have no difficulty in going for ward according to their original Inten tions. A fire was kindled, and a choice piece of venison which they had brought with them cooked for their evening meal. Ken ton's wounded arm had ceased bleediog. and he professed to feel much refreshed, and In good spirits. He proposed that they should proceed toward a Cherokee village which was situated in a south eastern direction. If Kosalthe had been carried there by any of the war parties, the greater portion of the distance was probably accomplished by water, which would effectually baffle pursuit In the or dinary way; consequently, to learn any thing of Kosalthe, providing that she had been thus abducted, the chances of success would be greatest to take the nearest way to the village, and trust to circumstances and their own resources for the rest. Before morning Norwood perceived that his companion began to falter; his foot pressed the soil less firmly; he gave evident signs of exhaustion, and his breathing grew hurried. His haggard features and toilsome tread checked the Impatience and excited the pity of Allan. "This la not right!" he exclaimed, topping suddenly. "You are exerting yourself beyond your strength." "I believe," said Kenton, faintly, "that the blood has started again." Norwood hastened to examine the wound, anil found that the handkerchief had been displaced by his exertion in walking and the bleeding had commenc ed anew, anil was very profuse. The handkerchief was again adjusted and they were on the point of moving on when the bark of a dog attract ed their attention. Kenton leaped to his feet, and laying his right hand heavily upon Allun's shoulder, said, in a tone that sent the blood upon its way with a quicker Impulse: "That Is an Indian dog; we are pur sued. Nothing remains for U8 but p run for our lives, and break the trail," replied Kenton, "Let us lose no time, then. I fear more for you than for myself; your strength may fail on account of that un fortunate wound." "When my strength fails, then you must leave me to my fate," said Ken ton, calmly. "Never, while I have life," said his companion. "It were shame Indeed for me to abandon a brave man in the hour of his most pressing need. May heaven save me from that heinous sin!" The young men now exerted their ut most atrength to evade their savage pur suers, but occasionally the bark of a dog admonished them that they were still unsuccessful, "We can never elude them while that dog Is after us," said Kenton, at length. "We must wait till be comes up and shoot him," "That will be a dangerous experiment, for the Indians are probably not far be hind him." "It's our ouly chance; so you may go on. I will stop and dispatch him." "ICather reverse that proposition, for I am In better couditiou than you." Hut Keutoa would not change his res ROBINSON olution, and Norwood protested that he would not leave his side, ltoth the par ties stiod perfectly still, and the dog came on at full speed. "1 will stop his barking." observed Al lan, cocking his ritlo. "Take good aim," said Kenton, anx iously. "He calm. I am always self possessed In the hour of danger. I am called a good shot, also." Our hero took deliberate aim and fired at the dog: he fell, and they heard a rustling among the leaves, produced by his death struggles. " 'Twas coolly done," remarked Ken ton. "And now let us change our course once more. When you tind strong grape vines that have climbed tall trees, lay hold of them and sw ing yourself forward as far as possible, in order to break the trail. 1 will set the example." They had gone but a short distance from the spot before an opportunity offered to try this experiment. Kenton grasped the vine with both his hands, as well as his wounded arm would per mit, and swung himself forward a dis tance of several yards, and striking upon very rooky soil, his feet left no percep tible imprint. Allan followed his exam ple, with similar results, and then both ran for life, for they heard the sav ages approaching. All the various artifices to battle pur suit were resorted to; but when the par ties paused, ready to fall down with exhaustion, the sound of the savage horde came faintly to their ears through the intervening distance. "I cannot continue this much longer," said Kenton. "My strength is failing fast. (.Jo on; you may yet escape; but if you try to save me, both will perish. I will await here the coining of the In dians. My ritie and piso!s are loaded, and I shall kill the first that appears. Yes, I shall have the pleasure of three good shots before I die." Without making any reply, Allan plac ed his ear to the earth, and listened with breathless interest. He heard ap proaching steps, and knew the elastic bounding tread of the red men. lie grasped his ritle firmly, stood a moment in thought, and looked earnes'ly nt his friend. "My dear Kenton;" exclaimed Allan. "I would not desert so bold and heroic a comrade for a thousand worlds; no, not to save my life. Trust to me, and we will both escape, or fall side by side. My plan Is formed; proceed as fast as you are able, and I will soon overtake you." "But this generosity Is madness; by giving your life to yonder yelling de mons, you will not prolong mine five minutes scarcely as many seconds:" cried Kenton. "I do not value existence so lightly that I am willing to throw it away without a chance of success. So go for ward. In heaven's name'" said Allan. "I will," replied Kenton, sorrowfully. "We may never meet again; farewell!" With tearful eyes, and heart malted and subdued, the forester arose to his feet, and making a desperate effort, stag gered on with a speed that surprised Norwood. The latter threw himself upon the ground among the rank shrub bery. He laid his ritle beside him, and drew his hunting knife from his belt. The light, bounding footsteps which he had heard, came more distinctly to his anxious ears. By the sounds which he had heard, he judged that one of the pursuers was far in advance of all the rest. If that con clusion was just, he could wait for the foremost savage to come up, and then slay him on the spot. In the event that there should prove to be more than one, it would only remain for him to do the best he could, and leave all to the (Ireat Disposer of events. Allan's eyes were turned with Intense interest toward the spot where a painted face, or faces, were expected to appear. One moment more of breathless expecta tion, and a gigantic Indian sprang into view-. He was darting .onward like a bloodhound, panting with exertion. In his right hand be held his gun, and his eyes were fixed with fearful eagerness upon the trail, casting occasionally keen and sweeping glances into the forest be yond. He came on; he was flying past the spot where the bold hunter lay. The latter bounded up, leaping upon the sav age like a young lion the hunting knife flashed In the first faint beams of the morning, and then sank deep in the red man's breast. A hollow groan was giv en to the gentle winds, and the pursuer had run his race. The athletic limbs quivered an instant, and all was still. Allan thrust bis crimson blade into it I sheath, cast one look at the quiet out lines of the body, and then left the spot with hasty tread. He overtook Ken ton, who was dragging his exhausted frame along. When he heard steps be hind ti i in he turned about and cocked his rifle, thinking the ravages were upon him; but saw instead the resolute face of our hero. "My dear Norwood!" he cried, while large tears rolled down his sunburnt cheeks, "I never expected to see you again on earth. What have you done'" "I have slain the leader of the pur suit; I have sent him ou the eteruul trail that no warrior ever retraced." "You have done well; the next half hour will decide this question of life or death," returned Keuton. "I know it; now lean on ine, and wo will ballle them yet. Here is u brook; we will walk hi It it may break the trail." By Norwood's help Kenton was ablo to proceed. They doubled on their own tracks; they changed their direction many times; ami when the sun was an hour high, no sound of pursuit con Ik be heard, and they began to hope that the savages were at fault, or had aban doned the enterprise altogether. It was now Imperatively necessary that Kenton should rest. While looking for a place suitable to that object, they discovered an Indian lodge, which proved to b nntntiaMtod. Of this they Imme diately t'"ik possession. To (he sur prise of both parlies, they perceived that a fire had recently been kindled there, and several article of comfort wrt left, among which were pieces of venison, mats, a few undressed deerskins, etc. Allan hailed this discovery us n sin gular piece of good fortune, and Instant ly set himself at work to minister prop erly to the wants of his friend. It dressed his wound us well as he could, searched for a spring, brought him cool and refreshing water, and then arranged the mat and deerskins, mid prevailed upon him to lie down and recruit his ex hausted energies. Kenton complied, making efforts dur ing the time to induce Norwood to leave him there, an.) put a safer distance be tween himself anil the Indians, who might possibly ,, their trail. Our hero was of course deaf to thes suggestion; and in a short time ha the pleasure of seeing hi comrade sink into a deep and tranquil sleep. Ho then kindled a lire and moving about softly, commenced cooking a well as the case would admit, some of the venison so providentially provided. While Allan Was engaged In this milli ner, a human figure darkened the lodge door. The unexpected visitor was nil Indian maiden. When she beheld our hero, she drew back with au exclama tion of surprise. "Come In," said Allan, perceiving shs was in doubt. "What doe the pale face seek hereT" she asked, with a dignified air. "I don't know that it would bo proper to make you my confidante," replied Allan, with a smile. "Confidence sometimes makes friends," added the Indian girl, in excellent Eng lish, though somewhat loftily. "I know it, daughter of the red limn," answered Norwood. "Are any of you! people with yon 7" "1 am alone; are you afraid?" replied the maiden. "Not of you, certainly," said NorwooJ with a smile. "Why are you so near our village?" Inquired Star-Light. "A young maiden has disappeared from the station on the Kentucky riv er," rejoined our hero, resolving to trust her with the object of hi mission. "Such thing often happen; but why do you seek her in this direction? I o you lay this new sin at the dour of the Cherokee? Is the red face always at fault? l.d the (Jre.it Spirit make them a nation of thieve?" "I sjiil not so; but we seek that which is lost in all places where thero is a positulity of its being found. Is it not so?" "Know that the White Cloud i safe; she will return again to Itoouoshorough before the next iii'mui. Co back and tell her friends so." "What strange thing is this you say?" cried Allan. "Am I speaking to the wind, that you do not understand? Are my word so idle that they do uot interest you? 1 said that the white maiden was safe," rejoined Star-Light. "Where is she? Let me see her let me speak to her!" cried Allan. "What Is White Cloud to you?" asked Star-Light, coldly, looking steadily at Allan. "Oh, she Is much! I think of her and dream of her!" exclaimed Norwood. "And does she dream of you?" resum ed Star-Light, in the same tone. "Alas, no! She does not even know me. I am impatient to know more. If you really speak truly, lead mo to Ko salthe," added Norwood. "I should lead you to your death. lull would never return to tho great furt to say that the pnht maiden lives." returned Star-Light, emphatically. "Kosalthe Is a captive among your peo ple how, then, can she be safe?" ask ed the young man. "That is known to me and not to you. I will tell no more," said Star Light. "You shall!" cried Norwood, starting to his feet. "Tho daughter of tho proud Cherokee fears nothing. She is willing to make the friends of the White-Cloud glad by sending them word that sho is safe; but should you torture her with fire she would tell no more," replied Star-Light, drawing up her person majestically. The dignified and assured air of the Cherokee maiden arrested Allan in hi purpose. He stood before her irreso lute and embarrassed. Before he had recovered his self-possession, Star-Light had glided from the lodge, and disap peared in the forest. (To continued.! The llt-ll of Kuulainl.

Farming was drudgery; It Is now an employment for tho Intelligent man. Tbe Modern llolbril. To go without a hottusl on the farm Is to miss many of the early luxuries lu vegetables which might otherwise be had. To some the hotbed Is a mystery more or less complicated, ns a mutter of fact, It Is a simple thing, oaslly mnnagod and not at all expensive. The simple hotbed Is readily iiiado by build lug a frame of Inch lumber, sloping It to the front, The usual bed Is twelve Inches nt the rear and six or eight Inch es lu front. Or It may bo made higher, ho as not to necessitate tbe digging of a pit for the manure mid soil. This Is a matter of choice, largely. The bod may 1st made the length and width of a single sash, or arranged for several sashes which are usually three by six In dimensions. If the pit Is dug, fill In with coarse horse manure and tram ple down hard. Over this put several Inches of good garden soli, and then put on the sash and lot the bed heat up. In a few days the Intense heat will pass awny and the s-ds limy then be sown. Of course, ventilation and wnter must be supplied to the seed boil, as wtdl as to the plants after they are up, and In the cold spring protec tion must ho given, which Is readily done by having old hags or carpets to throw over the glass sash at night.
