Tt Iwa kKikin t you for a while you sat by the fire o peusire n.l melancholy-like, and somehow or other I took a fancy to you." "I'm auch a half naras that I don't ea how anybody lirin could be pleased with me." replied lunis, weeping Tio lently. N If anybody else should daw to- call you a half garage, I reckon they'd never do it again In my hearing." returned Ballard emphatically. -The fact is you uit ma exactly, and I hope yqu'U ex cuse, me for aayin' so. You see, I'm a plainpeakin' man, and I say what I mean and mean honest. I don't want to make you blush, nor be forrad on abort acquaintance; but if you shouldn't take a likin' to me, I'm sure that in the course of natur' somethin' will break." The bold scout laid his hand on his heart as if to intimate that the "some thin" " which might be expected to "break" was in that particular locality. "l0 fo, Mr. Ballard, for I don't feel as though I ought to stand talking with you here. It's not likely we shall meet agaia." said Innis. "I shall go, but I shall come to see you again," said Ballard, 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." be added thoughtfully. "Don't thiuk of me; I shall do Tory well." returneJ Ianis, hastily. "If you shoulj ever want a protector, or feel the need of a friend, let me know it, and I'll go through fire and water to serve you." he added. And invoking a hearty blessing upon Innis McKee. 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 bead, and thought only of the renegade's daughter, whose beauty had quite conquered him. He resolved to seek 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 Llood 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 atop the profuse hemorrhage. Kenton oon revived, and sturdily protested that the wound was a mere scratch, and that he 6houId 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 bleeding, and he professed to feel much refreshed, and in good spirits. He proposed that tbey should proceed toward a Cherokee village which was situated in a south eastern direction. If Rosalthe 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 leara any thing of Kosaithe, providing that she had been thus abducted, the chances of success would be greatest to take the uearest way to the village, and trust to circumstances and their own resources for the rest. Before morning Norwood perceived that his companion began tofalter; his foot pressed the soil less firmly; he gave evident signs of exhaustion, and his breathing grew hurried. Ills haggard features and toilsome tread checked the impatience and excited the pity of Allan. 'This U not right!" he exclaimed, stopping suddenly. "You are exerting yourself beyond your strength." "I believe," said Kenton, faintly, "that the blood has started again." Norwood hastened to ex.imin n, wound, and found that the handkerchief liaa been displaced by his exertion in walking and the bleeding had commenc ed anew, and was very profuse. The Handkerchief was again sdiimtod they were on the noiut of (nr,vin when the bark of a dog attracted their attention. Kenton leaned tn I,;- and laying his right hand h Allan's shoulder, said, in a tnne tw ., the blood upon its way with a quicker impulse; "That Is an Indian dog; we are pur Bueu. -vmnng remains for us but run for our lives, and break the trail replied Kenton. Let us lose no time, thnn t .. . icur more for you than for myself; your etretigui may lan on account of that un lortunate 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 strength 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 he comes up and shoot him." "That will be a dangerous experiment, for the Indiana are probably not far be hind him." "It's our only chance; so you may go ' on. I will stop and dispatch him." "Rather reverse that proposition, for I am in better condition than you." But Kenton would not change his res- olution, and Norwood protested that he would oof leava his aide. Both the par ties stood perfectly still, and the dog came on at full speed. "I will stop his barking." observed Al lan, cocking his nflo. "Taka good aim," said Kenton, anx iously. "Be calin. 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 civilly done," remarked Ken ton. "And now let us change our course once more. Wheu you find strong grape vines that have climbed tall trees, lay hold of them and swing yourself forward a a far as possible, in order to break the trail. I will set the example." iney bad gone but a ahort distance from the spot before an opportunity offered to try this experiment. Kenton grasped the vine with both hi hands, as well as his wounded arm would per mit, and awung himself forward a dis tance of several yards, and striking upon very rocky soil, his feet left no percep tible imprint Allan followed his exam pie. with similar results, aud then both ran for life, for Xhey 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 faiutiy to their ears through the intervening distance. 'I cannot continue this much longer" said Kenton. "My strength is failiujr fast, tio on; you may yet escape; but ir you try to save me, both will perish. I will await here the coming of the In dians. My ri2e aud pistols are loaded, and I shall kill the first that appears. les. I shall have the pleasure of three good shots before I die." Without making auy 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. He grasped his rifle firmly, stood a moment in thought aud looked earnestly at his friend. "My dear Kenton."' exclaimed Allan. I would not desert so bold and benic 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 aa 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 Keaton, sorrowfully. We may never meet again; farewell!" With tearful eyes, and heart melted and subdued, the forester arose to bis 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 rifle beside him, and drew his bunting 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 threat Disposer of events. Allan's eyes were turned with intense Interest toward the spot where a painted fare, 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 bis gun, and his eyes were fixed with fearful eagerness upon the trail, casting occasionally keen aud 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 roil 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 his crimson blade into it 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 him he turned about and cocked his rifle, thinking the savages 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. V hat have you done?" "I have slain the leader of the pur suit; I have sent him on the eternal trail that no warrior ever retraced." "You have done well; the next half hour will decide this question of life or death," returned Kenton. "I know It; now lean on me, and we will baffle them yet Here is a brook; we will walk In 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; and when the sun was an hour high, no sound of pursuit could be heard, and they began to hope that the savages were at fault, or had aban doned the enterprise altogether. It waa now imperatively necessary that Kenton should rest. While looking for a place suitable to that object, they discovered an Indian lodge, which proved to U autuhaWted. Of this they mm- distely took !oftcMilou. To tha sur-' pr; of both parties, they retired that ' a fir had recemly hen kludied there. and several articles of comfort er left. , uioug wniva were pieces of venison, mats, a few undrwised derrakius, etc. Allan hailed thut discovery as a sin gular piece of ihh fvrtuue, and lustsut ly set himself at work to miulster prop erly to the want of his friend. II dressed his wound a well as he could, searched for a spring, brought him col and refreshing water, and then arranged the nuts aud deerskins, and prevailed uiHn him to lie down aud recruit hi ex- uausievi energies. Kenton complied, matin rr..r .!. lug the time to in,lu.- .r.i ... l. him there, and put a safer distance be tween himself aud the Indian, who ;fc.u HMSKujr te on their trail Our hero was of course Jeif t, is... suggestions; and in a short time had the pleasure of seeing his comrade sink uuo a ueep and tranquil sleep, U then kindled a fire aud movlti about a..fti commenced cooking as well aa the case wouu admit, some of the veutson so providentially provided.

"Confidence sometime makes friends." idded the Indian girl, in excelleut Kug lish, though somewhat loftily. "I know it. daughter of the r.l man H answered Norwood. "Are any of yout people with you?"

"Why are you so near our clIlna-aT Inquired Star-Light "A young maiden has disnrar.l from the station on the Kentucky riv er, rejoined our hero, resolving to trust her with the o!.jet of his mission. tojcu things ofteu happen: but wh do you seek her in this direction? Do you lay this uew siu at the dixu- of the Cherokee? Is the red face always at fault? Did the !re.it Spirit make them a nation of thieves?" "I said uot so; but we se.k that which is lost in all placet where theea is a posil.ility of its being fouud. Is It not so?" "Know that the White Cloud Is safe: she will return again to Boouesborough before the next oiouu. l3o back and tell her friends so." "What strange thing Is this vou saw 7" cried Allan. "Am I speaking to the wind, that you do not understand? Are my words so idle that they do uot Interest you? I said that the white maiden was safe," rejoined Star-Light "Where is she? Let me see her let me speak to her!" cried Allan. "W hat is hue Cloud to vou?" aake.I Star-Light, coldly, looking steadily at Aiian. "Oh, she Is much! I think of her and dream of her!" exclaimed Norwood. "And does she dream of vou?" resum ed Star-Light, In the same tone. Alas, no: hhe does not even know me. I am Impatient to know nmn If you really speak truly, lead me to Ko saithe," added Norwood. "I should lead von to vour death. You would never return to the great fort to say that the pale maiden lives," returned Star-Light, emphatically. "Kosaithe is a captive among your peo ple how, then, can she be safe?" ask ed the young man. "That is known to me ami not to you. I will tell no more, said Star- Light "You shall!" cried Norwood, starting to his feet. "The daughter of the proud Cherokee fears nothing. She is willing to make the friends of the White-Cloud elnd )v sending them word that she is safe; but siioiii'i you torture ner wun tire she would tell no more," replied Star-Light, drawing up her person majestically. The dignified ami Assured nir of tha Cherokee maiden arrested Allan in his 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 ha continued.) The llrll of KiiKlnnil. The int-tal tongue of the big bell rings out many change to our modern ears. It speaks of disaster and dentil, of rejoicing and devotion. In England It often tells of old times and quaint customs. Mr. Diti-hflcld, in a book on Old England, gives some of the tradi tions handed down through the "tin tinnabulation of the bells." In some parts of the country the boll which tolls the old year out Is culled the "Old Lad's Bussing Bell." In west em England the bells ieal merrily on "Oak Apple Day," to celebrate the es cape of King Charles at BoscobH. An other boll, rung at the beginning of Lent, Is known as "Pancake Bell," le- cause, In old time phrase, It "summons people away from their pancakes to confession and fasting." A lively ionl of bells Is often rung at the end of the Sunday morning ser vice, and Is called "Pudding Bell." I'er Imps Its purpose Is to announce to the Htay-at-homes that service is over nnd that the pudding may come out of the oven. Every night at five minutes past nine "Great Tom," the grout bell ot Christ Church College at Oxford, booms out Its ponderous note one hun dred and one times. This particular numlier was chosen In accordance with the number of students ut the founda tlon of the college.

The generation of agriculturist doubtless din- not fully realize the dif ference U'twovu the ctriclency of hand and imielilne labor. Here are two com parisons made by tho L'ulted States Bureau of Itltor: To produce 100 bushels of barley It toolc 011.04 hours of Inbor seventy years ago; today, with the aid of ma chinery, It takes 0.04 hours. To produce 100 bushels of oats It took 2)15 hours In 18.10; by machinery It takes 28.31) hour. Seventy years ngo agriculture was Impossible nway front the Atlantic sea board.

To go without a hotUsl on the farm Is to miss many of the early luxuries In vegetables which might otherwise le had. To some the hotltcd Is n mystery more or less complicated, as a matter of fact, It Is a simple thing, easily managed and not nt all extrusive. The simple hotbed Is readily made by build ing a frame of Inch lumber, sloping It to the front The usual lied Is twelve Inches at the rear and six or eight Inch ts In front Or It may be made higher, so ns not to necessitate the digging of a pit for the manure and soil. This Is a matter of choice, largely. The bed may be made the length and width of a single snsn, or nrrnngou tor several sashes which are usually three by six In dimensions. If thejdt Is dug, fill In with eonrso horse manure and tram ple down hard Over this put several Inches of good garden will, and then put on the snsh and let tho bed heat up. In a few days tho Intense heut will pass awny nnd the seeds may then be sown. Of course, ventilation and water must Iks supplied to tho seed bed, as well as to the plants after they are up, and lu the cold spring protcc tlon must be given, which Is readily done by having old bags or cnriets to throw over the glass sash nt night nation for 1'oultrjr, While the f (Hiding of several groins furnishes variety, It also has a better use In that some of the grains, notably wheat, furnish a portion of protein which Is essential in the ration of poul try.

You may cut ns close ns you please on de ciduous hedges, such as hawthorn and buckthorn, and esjKKdnly the locust or gledltschla. If you have blossoming hedges, such as tho Tartarian honey suckle, you must be enreful not to cut off the blossom buds.
