THE RED STORM Or the Days of Daniel Boone D y JOEL OH Al'TKK XXV. A mnl.lon approached th station, anil ItcynoMs nnil .loci I.ogton hastened to open tlip postern for lior admittance. It was Innls McKee; she enterc.l, rale nnil aRitateil, ami itAkc.l to ho con.liicte.l to Captain Boono. Klinabeth, who hail hastencit to meet lior, took nor kin.lly ny the hand and led her Into the bl.x'k- house. "This la Captain Noone." said I.Uile. "Let rne breathe a moment; I am ex cited; my heart beat very faat, re turnei Innia. "I have come to speak bout the treaty proposed by Captain lu Quesne, Girty ami other, said Innis. when she had grown somewhat calmer. "Then you were sent here?" asked rioone. "No, no! I came of my own accord!" answered Innla earnestly. "And for what purpose, young wom an?" Inquired the captain. "To aare you all from destruction: the treaty talked of la but a trap to destroy you. If yon (to out of the fort, you will never come back: you will be edited and perhaps alaln on the spot!" added Innls with Increasing fervor. "Who are yon?" asked the captain. In . a more kindly tone. The young (tirl hesitated, and then, covering her face with her hands, re plied: "My name Is Innla McKee." "That unfortunit:" muttered Joel to himself. "Alas, air, why should I attempt to conceal' what la so well known? The perfidy of my father fills me with shame. The plot Is simply this: When you go out to make your terms with Dn Quesne you will be seiied and not allowed to return to the fort. A large party of warriors will surround you and effectu ally cut off retreat The principal men being captured, the station will be great ly weakened and forced to surrender, when a horrible scene of butchery will follow. Knowing this, I have hastened Mther. In order to prevent a catastrophe so dreadful." "You have acted nobly, and all these Lelpless women and children will thank you: and not only they, but these gal lant men. who are their natural protect ors." said Boone feelingly. "Don't you know anything of the two young women who were carried away by Girty?" asked JoeL "I have seen them," returned Innla. 'Terhaps somethln can be done to lib erate the gala." suggested Joel. "I think so," replied Innls. "The affair of the treaty must first be attended to," resumed Boone, recovering his wonted serenity of expression. "Knowing as we do their Intentions. I think we may safely meet them, under certain conditions." "Name them," said Fleming. "Send them word that we will meet them sixty yards from the block-house. Ia the block-house we will station our sharpest shooters. If they attempt to seize us, let them shoot down the first who lifts a hand." "Very good." said Logston. "They'll object to meet yon within sixty yards of the fort." said Reynolds. "Then we will not attempt to treat with them." returned the pioneer. "Now the next question to be decided is, when shall we meet them?" "To-morrow morning," said Reynolds, "for by putting it off to that time, wo may have a more quiet night, and obtain some rest." "The idea is a happy one," rejoined Mr. Alston. "Mr. Reynolds, tnke a white flag, mount to the top of one of the cabins, and tell them we will meet them to morrow morning early, in order to fix the terms of a treaty." added Boone. The night which followed was by no means a quiet one, as the pioneers hail hoped: for there was much firing and bravado on the part of the savages. In the morning the overtures of Girty wero renewed, and consi lcrahle parleying en sued. He said Du Qiiesne was at the present time absent, hurrying up the re inforcements ami cannon, hut would be with them by noon. Girty affirmed, moreover, that Du Quesne left highly in dignant that his merciful offers were so obstinately and foolishly rejected; and the moment of his return would be a signal to batter down the works, and let four hundred furious savages upon them. The scene that would Inevitably follow, he would leave to the imaginations of the good people of Bionesborough. "If you have any regard for me, cap'en, I hope you will let me fire," said Logston, In a persuasive tone. "Be patient, Joel," returned the captain-. "The measure of his sins Is full and runnin over," added Logston. Girty ceased speaking, and nothing of Importance took place on either side un til a little past noon, when he again ap peared, with the announcement that Du Quesne had returned, and the cannon and reinforcemets had reached them, The noble captain had commisalond him to say that the following persons would be permitted to leave Boonesborough be fore they would commence the assault, which would be final and decisive, and result In the total destruction of the sta tion, viz: Mr. Alston and family, Mr. Fleming and son, and any relatives of lOllza Ballard who might be there, savtj Bland Ballard, the scout. These gener ous and humane terms he advised tho above-named to accept, as they held out the only chance of life that now re "lualned. He pledged his word solemnly, that not a single shot should be fired while they were leaving the station, and the very best treatment should be extended to them. "Gentlemen, do you hear this offer; you are at perfect liberty to accept or reject it," said Daniel Boone. "Do me not the gross injustice to Imagine that I shall listen to such a pro posal for a moment," replied Mr. Alatou, quickly, "I'd rather stay and perish where I am," said Fleming, with an honest glow of Lndlguatiou. "When I leave Boones ROBINSON borough, I'll leave It Just as the rest do I never left my friends In the hour of trouble, and by the help of God I never will," he added. "Hut your families!" resumed Boone. "We will share the fate of our dear neighbors and defenders!" exclaimed Mrs. Alston anil Mrs. Fleming, sitmm taneously. "Noble souls! noble souls!" cried Cap tain Boone, passing his stalwart hand across his eyes. "Who's comln' out?" cried Girty. "Not a single soul, yoit contemptible irvtiir'!" said Joel. "To prayers, then, every one of ye, for the sun of your lives Is scttln', and won't never rise on ye ngiln. Let your dyln' speeches be short, or many on yn won't get off from your knees afore your scalpa'U be called for In a hurry. I reckon most on ye'll be loth to lose 'cm!" retorted Girty. Joel again entreated the captain to let him fire, but with uo better success than before. Girty had disappeared, and in about an hour McKee came out and affirmed that Du Quesne, still considerate and merciful, had finally concluded to accede to their most unreasonable terms, and would meet them within s:xty vards of the fort, when he and the principal chiefs and leaders of the expedition would hear what they were willing to do; and It was arranged that the meet ing should take place immediately. CnAFTER XXVI. Captain Boone stationed his men In the block-house to eorrmand a view of the parties, and where they could cover them with their rifles. "If they lay hands on ns and attempt to detain ns, fire, and we'll willingly In cur the risk of being hit. And, mark me. remember Girty and Dn Quesne!" said the pioneer, when, with his two companions, Fleming and I-ogston, he was ready to leave the fort. "I think It would be well." said Joel, for each of ns to conceal some kind of a weapon under our hunting frocks. I've en idea that we shall feel the need on 'em afore we get back." "It Is well thought of." replied Boone Our hunting knives will answer tin purpose. Enjoining It upon the men to observe well their Instructions, the gates were opened and the three men passed out: and their friends who remained watched their footsteps with Intense Interest. They were met within the specified dis tance by a numerous partv. among whom were three Frenchmen, Girty, Mc Kee and several chiefs. "That does not agree with mv notions of a friendly and honorable treaty." said Reynolds, who, with his rifle at a loop hole, was observing all that was trans piring. "There are too many there: they mean no good; keep a sharp look out." A discussion of considerable length now ensued: and so far as those at the station could judge by appearance, ev erything was goine on In the most amicable manner. But Reynolds ilid not relax his vigilance; he declared that on this occasion he would not be deceived by Indian cunning and French duplicity: and the settlers being left under his command, he ordered every man to cover with their rifles the bodies of those near et the captain and his associates and not to take their eyes for a single mo ment from tho siirhts. The wisdom of this advice was soon apparent. The cood humor of the Frenchmen and the principal warriors seemed to increase. Innls McKee drew per to Reynolds and looked engerly forth. "They will shake bands soon," she said, "and that will be the signal for seizing them." Innis stood pale and nnTious at a loophole; for she had at that Instant caught a view of the form of her father, and he was very near Captain Boone. Reynolds quickly perceived her ag!ta tion and guessed the cause. "Don't fire at McKee." he said. In a low voice to his comrades. "I thank you very much!" exclaimed Innls; "for I know he does not deserve mercy at your hands." "The service you have rendered lis, fair Innls, justly entitles you to consid eration," replied Reynolds. "Alas! he Is so different from what I wish him to be, that his death could scarcely shock me more than his life; and yet I cannot see him within range of your rifles without a feeling of hor ror. Look! look! they stretch forth their hands!" cried the maiden. Instantly the women screamed with alarm, for they beheld the captain and his men seized by the savages; for the moment they had extended their hands they were grasped by the powerful war riors, who attempted to drag them away. A desperate struggle had already com menced when the sharp crack of more than a dozen well-aimed rifles scattered their enemies like autumn leaves. The athletic pioneers dashed down those nearest them and ran toward the fort under a heavy shower of balls. Andrew and Ebony, who had been stationed at the gate for that purpose, opened It in haste, and the brave men threw themselves In, bleeding from a few slight wounds, and panting with exer tion. "Well done, my gallant boys!" cried the captain, as he precipitately entered the block-house. "That fire waa a lev eler." They fell down strangely," said Mr. Fleming. "Little-Turtle has gone under, I rather reckon," added Joel, casting from him a knife stained with deep crimson spots. "You've made a fine treaty, I sup pose?" aald Alston, with a smile. 'We will leave you to draw your own inferences from what has Just hap pened," replied Fleming. "Did you see Captain Du Quesne?" asked Mr. Alston. Captain Boone colored, and seemed pained and embarrassed. "Yea, we've seen hiinl we've seen Mm!" exclaimed Logston, emphatically, j And then, as If to divert his though; from the subject, he tro.l on Vesuvius', tall, putting him Into a towering pnsslon and making him more tVm ever anxious to worry Andrew mid Ebony. I "The fact of the case is," said Boone, seriously, "that our friend Logston be- , lleve he has made a discovery. Captain 1 Du Quesne and Monsieur l.e Bland are the same." "The same!" cried Alston, turning pale. "Identlally the with a scowl. returned Joel, "It cannot be! claimed. "What It cannot be lie ex do you think Boone?" "I am of Joel's opinion, latter. "And you, Mr. Fleming?" resumed Al ston." "I'll venture to make the assertion that if Du Quesne were to die this very moment there wouldn t be such a man as Le Bland on the face of the earth." A dark frown passed over the usually placid face of Mr. Alston. "If this is iudeed true." he said nt length, "this very hand shall punish the perfidy of the villa lu!" "I'ervldln' I don't get mv eyes on him fust!" muttered Joel, hite Vesuvius ! growled In concert, and Andrew and Ebony withdrew to the further part of the fort. Influenced by the most prudent motives. Boone remarked that 'It was certain Du Quesne, notwithstanding all the va poring of Girty, had no cannon, and therefore he should not think of surrvn- derlng. ns he was of the opinion that iney coui.i not iko itie place w ithout ordnance. (To re continued.!

He had stolen the procoisl.s of n col lection that had been made for tho benefit of the minister, and the church had decided to try h!ni. The meeting was crowded. The preacher presided. After n statement of the charges, the accused man had a chance to be hearxl. He went forward and took the place of the preacher on the platform. "I ain't got nullln to say fo" tiiyse'f," he began. In a penitent vole?. "Fa a po' iuls'uble shiner. But. bretlren, so Is we all tnls'abie sinners. An' do grvad Book says we must fergib. How many times, bredren? Till seben times?

Then he started one of the powerful revival tunes and they began to come, first those who had not given any thing to the collection and were not much Interested iiv the matter, nny way, then those who had not lost much, and then the others. Finally they bail nil passed before him ex ci pt one old lady. She stuck to her seat. Then he said: "Dar'n one po' mU'uble sinner still lef, dat won't fergib, she won't fer- ib:" She was the oM la ly w ho had con tributed the largest sum. "Now, I Kiiges'," he went on, in a gentle, reasonable voice, "that we hah a season oh prayer on' gib dla po' tiiis'al.Ie sinner one mo' chance." So after they had prayed and sung another hymn the old Indy came up, too. PAIN KILLED BY BLUE RAYS. Color Mmr I'rove Vntiinlile mm an An aesthetic In n riter r.
