THE RED STORM
Or the Days of Daniel Boone
By JOEL ROBINSON
CHATTER XXV.
A maiden arirochd th station, and
Reynolds and Joel Lortton battened to
open the potrn for her admittance. It
waa InnU McKee; ah entered, pa It
nd agitatd. and atked to be conducted
to Captain Boone. Elisabeth, who had
kaatened to meet her, took her kindly by
the hand and led her Into the block
house. "Thia h Captain Boon,'' aald Lltalo.
"Let mo breathe a moment: I am ex
cited; my heart beats very fatt," re
turned Innis. "I hart com to speak
bout the treaty proposed by Captain Pu
Quean. Girty and others," said Innls,
srhes ah had frown somewhat calmer.
Then yon wero sent here?" atked
Boone,
"JJo, no! I cams of my own aecordT
answered Innia araetly.
"And for what pnrpos, young wom
iif Inquired the captain.
"To bst you all from destruction; the
treaty talked of la but a trap to destroy
yon. If you fo out of the fort, yon
will neTer com back; yon will be setted
nd perhsps slain on the spotT added
Innls with Increasing fervor.
"Who sr you?" atked the captain. In
more kindly tone.
The young girl hesitated, and then,
corerlnf her ftc with her handa, re
plied: "My nam Is Innia McKee."
"That unfortunltr muttered Joel to
himself.
"Alas, air, why ahould I attempt to
conceal what la so well known? The
perfidy of my father fills me with shame.
Th plot la aimply thia: When you go
oat to mak your terma with Du Quesn
you will b aeited and not allowed to
return to th fort. A large party of
warriors win aurrqund you and effectu

blnf captured, the station will be great
ty weakened and forced to surrender,
when a horrible seen of butchery will
follow. Knowing this, I hare battened
hither. In order to prevent a catastrophe
so dreadfuL"
"Ton bar acted nobly, and all these
lelplesa women and children will thank
you; and not only they, but these gal
lant men, who are their natural protect
ors." said Boon feelingly.
"Don't you know anything of th two
young women who were carried away
by Oirtyr atked JoeL
"I hay seen them." returned Innls.
"Perhaps snmethin' can b done to lib
trat the gals." suggested JoeL
"I think so." replied Innls.
"Th affair of the treaty mutt first be
attended to," resumed Boone, recovering
hi wonted serenity of expression.
"Knowing as w do their Intentions. I
think we may safely meet them, under
certain conditions."
"Nam them," aald Fleming.
"Send them word that we win meet
them alxty yards from, the block-house.
Ia the block-house we will station our
sharpest shooters. If they attempt to
seize ns, let them shoot down the first
who lifts a hand."
"Very good." said Logston.
"They'll object to meet yon within
elxty 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
hall we meet them?"
To-morrow morning." said Reynolds,
"for by putting it oj to that time, we
may hare a more quiet night, and obtain
some rest."
The idea is a happy one," rejoined
Mr. Alston.
"Mr. Reynolds, take a white flag,
mount to the top of one of the cabins,
nd tell them we will meet them to
morrow morning early. In order to Ox
the terms of a treaty." added Boone.
The night which foil, iwed was hy no
means a quiet one, as the pioneers had
hoped; for there was much firing and
bravado on the part of the savages. In
the morning the over-tares of Girty wero
renewed, and considerable parleying en
sued. He said Du Quesne was at the
present time absent, hurrying up the re
inforcements and cannon, but 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.
Th scene that would Inevitably follow,
be would leave to the imaginations of
th good people of Boonesborough.
"If you hav any regard for me,
cap'en, I hope you will let m fire," aald
Logston, In a persuasive tone.
"Be patient, Joel," returned the cap
tain. The measure of bis sins Is full and
runnln over," added Logston.
Girty ceased speaking, and nothing of
importance toon place on either side nn
til a little past noon, when he again ap
peared, witn tne announcment that T)n
Quesne had returned, and the cannon
and reinforcemets had reached them.
The noble captain had commissiond him
to say that the following persons would
b permitted to leave Boonesborough be
fore they would commence the assault
which would be final and decisive, and
result in tne total destruction of the sis
tion, vis: Mr. Alston and family. Mr.
Fleming and son, and any relatives of
Eliza Ballard who might be there, tava
Bland Ballard, the scout These gener
ous and humane terms he advised the
above-named to accept, as they held out
th only chanc of life that now re
mained.
H pledged his word solemnly, that
cot A single shot should be fired while
they wre leaving th station, and th
very best treatment should b extended
to them.
"Gentlemen, do yon hear this offer

reject it, said Vaniel Boon.
"Do me not the gross Injustice to
Imagine that I shall listen to such a pro
posal for moment, replied Mr. Alston,
oulckly. . .
"I'd rather stay and perish where I
tun," said Fleming, with an honest glow
of Indignation. "When I Uave Boones

"Rut your families!" resumed IWn.
"W will share th fat of our dear

Mrs. Alston and Mrs. Fleming, sluiuu
tsneoualy. "Noble souls! nobl souls r cried Cap
tain Boone, passing his stalwart hand
across his eyes.
"Who'e comln' out?" cried Girty.
"Not 1 sing! soul, you contemptible

retorted Girty.
Joel again entreated th captain to let
him fir, but with no better success than
before.
Girty had disappeared, and la about
an honr McKe cam out and affirmed
that Du Quesne, still considers t and
merciful, had finally concluded to accede
to their most unreasonable terms, and
would meet them within sixty yards of
the fort, when h and the principal
chiefs and leaders of th expedition
would hear what they were willing to
do; and It was arranged that the meet
ing ahould take place immediately.
CHAPTER XXVI.
Captain Boon stationed his men In
th block-hout to commsnd a view of
th parties, and wher they could cover
them with their rifles,
"If they lay hands on ns and attempt
to detain ns. fir, and we'll willingly In
cur th risk of being hit. And. mark
me. remember Girty and Du Quesne!"
said the pioneer, when, with his two
companions, Fleming and Logston. he
was ready to leave the fort
"I think It would be well." aald Joel,
"for each of ns to conceal some kind of
a weapon under our hunting frocks. I've
an Idea that we shall feel the need on
'em afore we get back."
"It la well thought of." replied Boone.
"Our hunting knives will answer thi
purpose." . .
Enjoining! It upon th men to observe
well their Instructions, the gstes were
opened snd 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 party, among
whom were three Frenchmen, Girty, Mc
Kee and several chiefs.
That doe not agree with mv notions
of a friendly and honorable treaty." said
Keynolds. who, with his rifle st a loop
hole, was observing all that was trans
piring. .There are too manv there:
they mean no good; keep a sharp look
out" A discussion of considerable leneth
now ensned: and so far as those at the
station could Judge by appearance, ev
erything was goin on in the most
micable manner. Rut Reynolds did not
relax his vigilance; he declared that on
this ocrasion he would not be deceived
by Indian cunning and French duplicity;
nd the settlers bein left under his
command, he ordered every man to cover
ith their rifles the bodies of those nesr-
est the captain and his associates and
iot to take their eyes for a single mo
ment from the siehts.
The wisdom of this advice was soon
pparent. The good humor of the
'renohmen and the principal warriors
seemed to increase. Innis McKee drew
ear to Reynolds and looked eaeerlr
forth.
"They will shake hands soon." be
said, "and that will be the signal for
seizing them.
Innis stood pale and anxious at a
loophole: for she had at that Instant
eaiizht a view of the form of her father.
nd he was very near Cantain Roone.
Reynolds quickly perceived her aglta
tion and guessed the canse.
Don't fire at McKee." he said. In a
low voice to his comrades.
I thank rou verr much!" erclsimorl
Innis; "for I know he does not deserve
mercy at your hands."
The service you have rendered ns
fair Innis, 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 ahock me more than hla Ufa;
and ret I cannot see him within nnm
of your rifles without a feeling of hor
ror. Look! look I they stretch forth their
hands!" cried the maiden.
Instantly the women screamed with
alarm, for they beheld the cantain nt
his men seized by th savages; for the
moment they had extended their hand.
they were grasped by th powerful war
riors, wno attempted to drag them
away.
A desperate strusrele had alreadv com
menced when the sharp crack of more
man a dosen well-aimed rifles scattered
tbelr enemies like autumn leaves. The
athletic pioneers daHhed down those
nearest them and ran toward tb fort
under a heavy shower of balls.
Andrew and Ebon v. who had
stationed at th gat for that purpose,
openea it in baste, and th brave men
tnrew themselves in, bleeding from a few
slight wounds, and panting with exer
tion. "Well done, my gallant hoys!" cried
the captain, as he precipitately entered
the block-house. That fire was a lev
eler." They fell down strangely," said Mr.
Fleming.
"Little-Turtle has gone under, I rather

a knife stained with deen

"I am of JoI'a opinion," replid the

A dark frown pawed over th usually

"Pervldln I don't get my eyes on hlra

growled In concert, and Andrew and
Ebony withdrew to th further part of
th fort. Influenced by th most prudent
motives.
Boon remarked that It waa certain
Da Quesne, notwithstanding all th va
poring of Girty, had no cannon, and
therefor he should not think of surren
dering, as he was of th opinion that
they could not tak th plac without

PAIN KILLED BY BLUE RAYS.
Color Mar Prove Valuable as an An
aesthetic In Margery.
Interesting experiments with blue
light ns an agent for producing anal
gesia, or Insensibility to pain the dis
covery of Prof. Redard hnve been
carried out by Dr. Harvey Milliard,
anaesthetic to the Royal Dental Hos
pital of London, and by a well-known
Geneva dentist
In on article In the Medical Times
and Hospital Gazette Dr. Hilllard
state that he found that the blue light
had on himself "a most distinctly calm
ing Influence ; a desire to close the eye
and sleep Is experienced, and after
some minutes sensibility to pain Is
lessened. For Instance, tlie difference
between light pressure made with the
tip of the little finger and a needle
could not eaully be detected and surgi
cal needles could be pushed Into the
face, Hps, guniH and arms and blood
drawn thereby without actual pnln
being felt unless a still deeper pres
sure was exerted.
"I believe the presence of a blue
lamp suitably placed might give satis
factory results In the treatment of
insomnia owing to Its calming Influ
ence, and I have tried it with some
benefit In one case. Similarly In the
restlessness of Infants suffering from
mild Illness and In asylums In cases
of mania it Is conceivable that blue
light rays might be of value. This
view Is supported by the fact that red
light has been found to have a bene
ficial effect upon smallpox, as It is In
imical to the vitality of the germs of
that disease."
Dr. Hilllard gives Instances of the
utility of the blue rays In the case of
the extraction of teeth. One man said
that under Its Influence he felt no pain
when a molar was extracted and re
turned to have two others removed
by the same agency.

Coop for Small Calebs.
A farmer's wife writes; The coop I
use, shown In sketch, Is much better If
made of pine. It Is made In three
separate pieces, the roof and bottom be
ing removable. The nof projects over
the coop on nil sides, but much farther
In front and back. This Is to keep rain
from hentlng In. The roof boards are
nailed to two narrow pieces, which are
Just the length of the Insido of the
coop, and are placed far enough from
the front and the back to fit inside the
coop. The cracks ore battened.
The floor, d, Is made to slip In at

Orange Judd Farmer that one of the
finest features of the new Industry
is that It will tend very much to lessen
waste on many farms of the west No
where probably In all the United States
has the sin of waste prevailed to such
an extent as In the western and north

There Is certainly such a thing as
using lime too freely lioth In the matter
of quantity and of frequency. As a
rule sour soils need lime, but It does
not follow that all aildlty of the soil Is
due to lack of lime, for,, as Is well
known, there are certain minerals In
the soli In some locations which will,
apparently, make It sour, and all the
lime In the world will not overcome the
effect Then, too, certain plants contain
more or less lime, many of them suffi

to set free some element In the soil that

By far tho lest way to use lime Is t
