"I am not master of my own wife and

All my plana are cuatlnuatly thwarted;
I am alwaya to be opposed by both
mother and daughter. And so It la with
the Girty affair. II la good enough for
lunta; and la that matter I will hart
my way, in spit of resistance, threats,
tears or .enf-resties."
"Toa will never lira to see Innla wad

Th Indians hare promised It to him
when Boonesborough. Harrodsburf and
Logan are lereled with the ground, and
not a white aettier has a foothold In
thla country, rejoined McKee.
That time will nerer be," responded
the Indian spouse. "The white atations
will remain lonf after the red men hare
lost their power. The descendants of
Daniel Boone will build their houses in
peace, upon the graves of the Wyso

very moment Boonesboroush may be in

already attacked It with hundreds of
Indians.
.They'll fail and go away like whip
ped dors," responded Mrs. McKee.
With a threatening glance at each,
llcKee arose and left the cavern.

pause.
"Yes; It has always been able to de

The Indiaa mother replied in the af
firmative. In a short time they both
Issued from the subterranean dwelling,
and walked Id the direction of the sta
tion. V CHAPTER XXII.
The bold pioneers at the fort awaited
with painful anxiety the return of the
heroic women who bad descended the
elopa to procure water from the spring.
Eliza Ballard and Matilda Fleming were
the two last of the party to fill their
vessels with the sparkling fluid. While
they were la the act of doing so, a
half-dozen Wysndots, headed by Girty,
rushed from the covert of the surround
ing shrubbery, seised the two maidens,
and la spite of their resistance and
shrieks, bore them swsy before the men
at the fort were scarcely aware that
anything had happened. Joel Logston
was the first to realize fully the new
misfortune ehst had befallen them.
"Come on, men! To the rescuer he
ahouted, running to the open gate; while
several young men followed him with
equal Impetuosity.
' "Stop, I command your cried Daniel
Boone. In tones distinctly heard above
the confused tumult of sounds.
"Away, awsyT exclaimed Joel, with
terrible earnestness. "I hear only the
shrieks of those females. I lister, only
to their calls for help. Let me go I
am desperate."
"And if you go with those ready to
follow you, who will defend the fort?
Who will protect those who yet remain
to us, and hare equal claims upon our
exertions?" replied Captain Boone.
"And what would it avail if we should
attempt a rescue?" said Reynolds, who
hsd been among the first to follow
Logston. "We can effect nothing
rgainst hundreds of garages; we should
be cut down In a moment, and thus
would our lives be thrown away, with
out accomplishing anything. Let us re
main and trust the two maidens to the
care of God."
By this time the rest of the women
were at the gate, which was instantly
opened for their admission. Strange to
relate, they bad, with one or two ex
ceptions, maintained their self-posses-alon
to such an extent as to bring with
them the several vessels of water which
they had procured. While they were
entering, a strong body of Indians.
among which were several Frenchmen,
tried to rush in alter them; but a well
directed fire from the fort forced them
to retreat, with severe loss.
Joel Logston appeared unlike himself;
ne threw down bis rifle and leaned
against the stockades, gloomy, silent and
dispirited. Daniel Boone attempted to
comtort mm.
"Look," ha said, pointing toward the
parents of the girls who had been can-
tured, "they are striving to bear their
grief -with Christian fortitude. Thev
are struggling with Roman firmness to
master their paternal instincts; to listen
to the admonitions of duty; and bow to
the stern admotlons of Providence, Be
a man, Joel."
"All this trouble has come of that
Frenchman," said Logston, bitterly. ul'rt
never felt right since he's been among
us. II Is very clear to me that he's
been nothin mors nor less than a spy
on us ever since he's been here, and
you 11 nnd it so."
"Such remarks, Mr. Logston, art ex
tremely offensive to me," said Mr. Al
stron.
I can't help It," retorted Joel" "I
know' I'm right, and have good reasons
to say what I do. I nsvsr like to hart
oobody's feelings, nor nothing of that
sort; but I do Ilka to tell the truth, and
to see Justice done to alL Why did
Eilas Girty speak about this La Bland
If he didn't know this man, and what
was ha doln'? Your Frenchman talks
a great deal about mekla; his fortln' on
Kentncky land; and I know very well
tow ha expects to make It. The land
ha has so -much to say about to right
her where we stand; and it ha ever
geU It Booneeborough'U be a pile of
ruins and he'll walk over our graves.
That's what will happen. Mr. Alston,
think of It as yoo may. Twenty-four
hours harent passed sine Girty offered
ma two thousand acres of land to join
the logins against the white stations.
La Blsnd hss my friendship and es
teem; nearer relationship. It la well
known, has been tslked of. I still find
It Impossible to believe all the dsrk re
ports which I hear of him. I hops you
ill pardon me if I act the friendly
part, until I have ocular evidence of his
guilt," rejoined Mr. Alston.
Dsniel Boone replied that ha trusted
they were all willing to make a proper
allowance In the case, considering how
grest hsd been his friendship for the
man; but so fsr ss his own feeling
were concerned he hsd no doubt of Le
Bland's guilt.
Durisg the morning and the grester
portion of the forenoon, the defenders
of Boonesborough were constantly em
ployed in repelling attacks msde at dif
ferent points, and In many Instances
conducted with much spirit and resolu
tion; but about noon the asssulta ceased
altogether.
While each stood at his post trying
to assign some plausible reason for this
sudjen suspension of hostilities, a white
man was seen approaching cautiously,
bearing a flag of truce.
It's Girty." said Joel raising his
rfifle.
"Don't fire." exclsimed Boone. "Let
ss hesr whst he hss to say."
rinding that he was not fired noon.
Girty mounted a stump and addressed
ths pioneers as follows:
I have come to summon yon to sur
render. It's no nse for rou to resist:
If yon surrender promptly no blood will
be shed; but If yon will not listen to
reason, and give ns Instant possession,
wa will batter down your works shout
your ears with cannon thst we momen
tarily expect: for. know thst wa are
expecting not only eanmn, but rein
forcements, also. Whst csn yoa do
against such numbers? Nothing; every
msn of you will be slsln."
Shoot him down." cried several of
the foresters; but Boone bade them to
forbear.
Perhaps yon don't know me?" added
Girty. with much pomposity of msnner.
ion hive asked If we know you."
ssld Reynolds, showing himself boldly.
uesr our snswer; we know you welL
We know yon as the vilest of men liv
ing: we know you as a cowsrdly rene
gsde, recreant to all that Is noble In the
a a
numan cnaracter; wo know you as a.
monster or wickedness, snd as a blood
stained villain. Tha name of Girtr
111 . be spoken of with contempt
bysll those who shall hesr of his
treschery in all time to come. I hsvs
worthless dog thst kills lambs: In
stead of shooting him, I bsve named
him Silas Girty, and he has never held
np his head since; for he knows that
everybody despises him. You talk large-
about reinforcements. Whst could
you do with cannon? 8uch cowardly
wretches would be afraid to fire them
If you had ever ao many. We also ex
pect reinforcements; and it will be well
for you to be off before they get here.
Should you batter down our stockades,
as you pompously thraten, we are fully
prepared for that contingency, for we
have roasted a score or two or hickory
sticks, with which we Intend to sally
out and whip yea out of the country as
we would thieving curs.
Reynolds' sarcastic speech put the
renegade In a towering passion. He
poured forth a volley of threats.
I have two of your young women In
my power," ha added, "ami it would be
better for you to be a little more hum
ble; but I shall enter your works and
pay you off for your Insolence."
"It's a thousand pities I hadn't made
an end of yon out in the woods there!'
cried Logston. "How does your bead
reel 7"
'It will never be well till yours Is out
of sight I shsn t soon forget that mesn
trick yon served me; It will go hsrd
with you fur that Joel Logston!" re
torted Girty.
Don't tempt me; you make a fins
mark for my rifle at this partloular
time, ssld Joel, menacingly.
I'm under a flag of truce." returned
Girty.
"I wish you wss under the ground!"
added Joel, Impatiently. "Mind what
yoa say. I warn you, for no human
power shall prevent me from shooting
you, If yoa provoke me further. What
care I for a flag of truce, when It floats
over tha head of such a villain?"
It was easy enough to be seen that
Girty began to feel uneasy and fearful
of consequences, If he was not more
csreful In his speech; he therefore pru-
dently addressed himself to Daniel
Boone, and asked for an answer to carry
back to bis army.
Tell your red crew and your ruf
fianly French allies that Boonesborough
will never be given up while two sticks
of it remain together," replied the pio
neer, promptly. "This Is our final on
swer; begone."
Girty leaped, down from the stump In
rather undignified haste, conslderinz that
he was under a flag of truce. Shouts of
defiance and derision from the fort fol
lowed him until ha was again with his
friends.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Reynolds and Mr. Fleming were In ths
block-house nearest to tha river. Andrew
and Exquisite Ebony were standing
within a few feet of them looking csn
tlously through the loopholes. At dif
ferent parts of tha structure stern
faces were seen, begrimed with powder
and dust Each heart felt that danger
was pressing, and every pulss throbbed
with anxiety. Tha attention of tha plo
tters was iudfleuly" attracted by an ex
clsmstion of surprise from Exquisite
Ebony.
"What nowf asked Daniel Boone.
"Will yer look der?" said Ebony,
Right afora your aya
t dVt see anything but ths vlTrr."
rejoined ths csptsln. after looking a
cuomea from one of the loophole.
"Dual yer see, Massa Boone, It am
changed Its color; It am Just like mud
as one darkey la like anudder," returned
Exquisite,
The pioneer looked again from ths
block-house, and the truth of the negro's
remarks wss at one apparent Ths
waters of the Kentncky were no longer
of their natural color, but deeply col
ored as when, swollen with heavy rains,
the Iocs red soil Is ashed away. For
an Instant the pioneer wa at fault.
This Is strange." he exclaim!; "what
can you make of It men? Ah! I un
derstand It all! They are digging a
trench; they Intend to let tha water in
upon u!
en are right," ssld Fleming; mourn
fully. "Boonesborough Is no better than
loaf
Tha pioneers looked gloomily at esch
other; they thought of their wires and
children; breve men wiped away tears,
that perhaps, were never guilty of ths
like weakness before; but they were not
selfish tears; they flowed for those un-
able to defend themselves from savag
barbarity.
"Girty must have put this Infernal
Idea tnto their heads," ssld Reynolds.
'Possibly not; for I heard I.a Bland
remark once, that Boonesborough might
be easily undermined, and the whole of
us drowned out like so many rats," re
plied Mr. Fleming.
'Da women folks won't have to go
arter no more water," observed Ebony,
philosophically.
'No; de water will come after dem."
rejoined Andrew.
'Dsr's mora of de mischief! ex
claimed Ebony.
'So there Is; they're shootln flamln'
srrers at us to set tha works oa fire,"
said Joel I Alston.
The women and children had lesrned
by this time whst was going forwsrd,
snd every psrt of the fort resounded
ith cries snd lamentations. II ns-
bands and wives, parents and chil
dren, embraced each other tenderly,
thinking that they would soon be parted
forever In this world.
'Death must come to ns sll In some
form or other," ssld Boone, addressing
tha mournful and panic-stricken group,
In a calm, subdued sod solemn voice.
It Is sn Irrevocsble Isw of God thst
sll created beings should die. Seeing
thst desth Is something thst cannot be
evaded. It becomes us to meet It with
firmness snd Chrlstisn philosophy. So
fsr as I sm able to Judge, the term of
our earthly lives la drawing to a close.
I must certainly regard It In this sad
light unless some mesns can speedily
be devised to thwsrt this Ingenuity of
our enemies. I enjoin upon yoa all to
be calm In this terrible emergency. Let
the women snd children sll tske shelter
In the block-house, snd be careful not to
encumber and embarrass their brsvs
defenders. I desire implicit obedience,
and if it Is accorded, all may yet be
welL"
The forester paused, and the effect of
his words wss Instantly obvious; tha fa
msles checked their tear, snd ths men
grasped their srms with fresh resolu
tion. 'Mr. Reynolds." added Boone, "taks
about half of our able-bodied men,
gather up all the picks and shovels, etc.,
that can be found, and hasten to tha
enclosure on thst side toward ths
river; if our foes mine, we must coun
termine." This order wss received with loud
cheers, snd the plan was so promising
thst every msn felt a new hope spring
ing up in his bosom.
'Cut a trench eight feet wide snd ss
long ss you can, within the stockades,
snd we will baffle them yet. While
you sre digging, the rest of u will keep
a sharp lookout thst tbey don't st us
on fire."

over It is reversed an old tin pnn ten

this Is placed a table two. feet six

Around the aldea of thla table la

Open tha Stable Wladowa.
If the cows have been stabled all
winter tbey are likely to become un
easy as spring advances and long fur
outdoors. It Is an excellent plan to
turn them out Into sheltered barnyards
that are clean and so arrnngpd thnt the
cold spring winds will not blow over
them. Give them some roughage to
munch over while they are out If It
la not feasible to turn them out yet,
then arrange the stable so they inny
have all the fresh air possible without
causing the air to blow over them so
they are likely to catch cold. The win
dow arranged so thnt It inny he oiicned
and the opening covered by the muslin
sash will furnish this air without
draught better than nnythlng else. Es
pecially give the cows sun If It can be
done. If there Is an ocii shed on the
place facing the sun Into which the
cows may be turned tbey will enjoy
It Immensely. This little cure just a few
weeks before they are turned out to
grass will help affairs wonderfully.
Bracing Kenrt Poet.
Oftentimes it Is necessary or politic
to curve the farm fence at a certulu
point and those who have built such
fences appreciate the dllllculty of set
ting the post at the sharent point of
the curve, ao that It will not pull over.
HOW TO I1UACK A VtNCt POST.
Any of the ordinary methods of brac
ing do not seem to answer the purpose.
An excellent brace may be made by
the following plan: Place the post in
position, then dig a hole two feet deep
and about six or eight feet from the
post Obtain a heavy stone and fasteji
a stout piece of wire to it, long enough
to reach to the post and wrap around
It two or three times. Then bury the
stone In the bole, covering It with the
soil and tramping the soil down tightly.
The other end of the wire la then
wrapped about the post tightly and
held in position with atopics. It should
be drawn taut It will not be possible
for the pot to draw away from this
brace under any ordinary conditions
