in time. I can tell you, Mr.. Curwen the
bolts are strong in those cabins, and if
the cabin will stand the door will stand.
This was just what the door had been
built for.
"The redskins did not mean to be kept
out by bolts, and, little boy as I was, I
knew what they were doing when they
began to hack at the door with their
tomahawks. It is queer, sir, but the thing
I remember is a great bit Of wood break
ing out, and hitting me on the head, and
seeing the axe come through. Then the
hole grew bigger, and more axes came
through; but my mother told me to get
under the bed, which / did not do. But
she stood in the corner, with fathers axe,
waiting till the first Indian stuck his arms
through the hole, and then his head. The
minute his head came in, she hit him hard
with the back of the K twice, AND / can
see the blood run down on the floor now,
Mr.. CurWen. He had got so far in that
he hung, sir, in the hole, and she was so
alfred wild that she pulled him in. We
had not had a chance to cry out before
another of the critters poked his head in
the same way. She waited a minute
longer this time, till half his body was in,
and she hit him in just the same way, on
the back of his head. Then there came a
third, and then there came a fourth, and
my mother dragged them all back and
laid them out in the corner. Then the
critters outside began to guess what had
happened, and no more came in at the
door. They were gone so long, that she
nailed her bread board over the hole; but
then she heard a noise on top of the cabin.
Ny mother knew what it was, but she
did not dare go to the chimney for fear of
the door, so she threw her knife to me,
and told me to cut open the fearther-bed
and throw the feathers into the fire. I do
not think I was in the least frightened; |
was wide awake, you may be sure, and
threw the feathers into the fire. And /
was just in time; two of them came
pitching down the gseat wooden chimney
smothered by the smoke, and fell into the
open Goals. By this time my father had
come to, and got on his feet. He found
his gun, which she had not had time to
handle, he blew out the brains of one of
them, and she finished the other with the
axe. My father said afterwards hat an
other man tried to get in, but he got as
good as he sent, and went away bowling.
They tell his story all up and down the val
ley now, and one of these copperhead
redskin blackguards said afterwards, when
he came into Cumberland to trade,
Things was bad; the white squaws fought
worse than the Long Knives"
Curwen did not wonder that a boy
who could tell such stories as this had in
his blood the elements of a scout or In
dian-hunter, and after he had heard this

did not succeed in ~impressing upon Glen
denim the sentiments of humanity with
regard to the redskins, which he had

With such help as the long oars and

called, from every country and every
State, who had enlisted, some for a love
of adventure, some to get away from
their wives, some to escape the sheriff,
and others from no motive at all which
could be defined. At this moment they
had not ever been formed into an awk-
ward squad.
Among them was a tall, delicate-look-
ing young Virginian, to whom Harry
took a fancy from the first moment when
he met the sergeant who had this party
in charge. He made a chance to speak 10
the boy, who was shy and lonely, and
drew from him without difficulty his
whole story. He had come from a lonely
home near Fort Cumberland. Years ago,
when he was not more than twelve years
old, in a raid of Indians across the noun
tains, they had carried off his sister. The
boy, boy-like, had, even then tracked the
party Of marauders in the childish hope
of rescuing her. And now that he had
shot up to the height which gave him a
right to 60 about among men, he had en-
listed in the army in the hope of finding
her. 1t was clear enough to Harry, who
was endowed with the pr~eternatural wis
dom OF three and twenty, that the boy
had no other requisite for a soldiers life,
than the five feet nine inches without
which he could not have passed the re-
cruiting sergeant, unless, indeed, indomit-
able will were to be counted as a requisite.
Of that the good lad had abundance. He
was simple in manners-very shy as has
been said; and avoided as a woman might
do, the rough play and jokes of the reck-
Lao o----1 I T-1ooI IN tho
lonely log cabin life of a single family, he
had not learned all the English which
came into the polyglut language OF the
boat, and one of the many trials which
the sensitive fellow had to meet from
hour to hour, came from his utter inability
to understand the chaff which wa thrown
at him, the requisites which were adj
dressed to him, or even the commands OF
his superiors.
The boat in which this voyage was
made differed entirely from the arks of
the settlers. General Harmar, or some
other officer in high command, had said
that a barge for the use of Fort Harnar
or Fort Washington would be needed,
and six or eight good s~hip-builders had
been enlisted, nominally, as artificers,
but with the understanding that they
might ask for their discharge whenever
they choose, after they arrived at the
forts. These men were quite the superiors
of the rest in bearing and in education.
But as navigators they had to do an extra
turn OF duty as the voyage went on, be
cause half the men hardly knew the differ
ence between one end of an oar and the
other. In truth the barge, so-called, was
much too large for any such service as
was proposed at the forts. She was
rather a galley" as the language of the
time had it. AS the men always slept on
shore, she was not an uncomfortable YES
sci for the enterprise they had in hand.
Amidships, as the builders chose to say, a

considerable space was taken for the
stores of the party and for the all-impor-
tant pack-saddles. Fore and aft of this
space were seats for rowers, who, with
very heavy oars or sweeps, could hasten
the vessel, whenever the flow of the cur
rent was not considered sufficient for the
purpose. 1t was not long before the boat
builders, who were all from New Eng
land ports, and rowed a boat as well as
they built it, had trained the soldiers, as
they were called by courtesy, to handling
the heavy sweeps.
Harry Curwen saw that the boy Glen
denian was not strong enough for this
work, and managed, on one excuse or
another. to call him off. Eventually he
attached him to his person, and the boy
discharged the thousand duties of an
officers servant. Curwen made a log like
that which would have been used in n of
the Salem East India voyages, and he
made a pretense of keeping a journal of
the rapidity with which the boat sailed,
using this log as the basis of his observa-
tons. This he had put into Phil Glen
denian's charge and the easy work of
throwing the log, and making the notes
Of the rapidity of their voyage, relieved
the boy from further duty.
It was clear enough, whenever they
stopped at night, that he was grateful for
the " Yankees" oversight, and was eager
to repay it, with a sort of ge~ntleness or
good-breeding, which had interested
Harry from the first. Harry always
would find that his bed was made ready,
that the stumps were carefully cut out, or
the crooked snags dragged out, which
would else have broken his back in his
nights turnings, or branches would have
been brought by Clendenin's care, with
which the bed should be made.
AS they sat at the fire n night, Cur
wen pressed the boy for old stories of
frontier life. In a more confding mood
than usual the young Virginian gave some
idea Of the way in which he was brought
up, and he told a story of what happened
in his very earliest recollections. One
cold night they were all awakened by the
barking Of the dogs outside their little
cabin. II was five years DID," said Glen
denim, II should never have thought of it
again but for what followed. My father
got up in his shirt, pushed open the door
to see why the dogs barked, and in an in
slant fell back on the ground. A bull
let had struck him in the breast the
moment the door was opened. My
mother was close behind him, rushed at
the door and bolted it, and was only just

In truth, the one terror of the expe-
dition, especially of the women of the ex-
petition, had been that they might fall
into the hands of some rowing Shawnees,
who would prefer the present plumber of
such a party to any advantage, real or
potential, which might belong to such
treaty obligations as bound them to the
Great Father at New York. The Great
Father, as he then existed, was hardly
three years old, and n prospect of his
strength or power to redress injury did
not much affect the average Shawnee con-
science. But, as it happened in this case.
and as Sarah Don found, there was no
occasion for alarm. The men of the party
were away hunting, and the dirty, smoke

appointment, and though he was entrusted
with responsibilities really important, be
was acting with the freedom of a volun-
teer. He held q commission in Massa-
chusetts as a lieutenant in the militia, and
had higher rank as an aide to the local
br1gadler who directed the musters and
enrollments in the militia organization.
Knox had entrusted to him this business
OF the pack-saddles, and had given to him
dispatches for General Harmar; and it
renamed for the young man to make or
find for himself his position when he
should have reported to that officer, and
had seen for himself what was known as
The Legion of the West" Knox had
placed under his command a dozen or
more recruits for the second regiment
whom he wanted to hurry forward. And
at Carlisle, in Pennsylvania, the young
man had fallen in with an Australian gen.
tleman, the Count Zapoly, who was 60
ing west with a romantic idea of seeing
the wilderness and joining in war at the
same time if he might be so happy.
The country, for ten years, was receiv-
ing such people from Europe, stimulated
by the attractive stories of Lafayette,
Rochambeau, st. Simon, and the rest of
the officers of the auxiliary contingent of
the revolution. This particular Count
had thrown up his own commission in the
French army, in disgust at some Of the
reforms, so-called, just introduced by the
ministry. For Harry Curwen, he was an
amusing, not to say an agreeable compan-
Ion. He was not above "a certain con-
d~eseension" in addressing, people who
had not seen Europe; few natives of that
continent were or are. But he was a
gentleman, he was curious and intelli-
gent, and could talk Of something beside
the ratlons and the oars.
~ shall not be difficult, my friend" he
said to Curwen on the first day. "Give
me, all the days, an omelet and a little of
soup, and | shall be very content"
Harry was obliged to tell him that he
had named the two articles of food which
could not be prepared in America.
AS for the men, the crew, as Harry
was always calling them, in his Salem
way, they were but a poor set. The gov
eminent paid but little, the probable ser
vice wa hard. In these days we should
have called the recruiting officer an agent
for the Society for Discharged Convicts,
so many gentry Of doubtful reputation
had he enlisted. Uncle Sam could not be
a chooser.. He had to take what he could
get. And Harry found himself in COM

HINTS TO H-oUsEKEEPERs.

Scatter sassafras bark among dried fruit
to keep it from becoming wormy.
When fatirons become rusty, black
them with stove polish, and rub well with
a dry brush.
Lamp wicks give a better light when
cut squarely across, and should not be
pecked off, as some advocate.
If soap is purchased in large quantities,
and kept in a warm, dry place, half the
usual amovnt will be required.
A sure and safe way to remove grease
spots from silk is to rub the spot quickly
with brown paper. The friction will soon
draw out the grease.
As a dressing in the bath, two quarts of
water, with two ounces Of glycerine,
scented with rose, will impart a final
freshness and delicacy to the skin.
To the consumptive a panacea is found
by daily use of glycerine internally with
proportion of M part of powdered will
low charcoal and two parts of pure gly-
cerine.
Let wells be abandoned; they are %injuri-
Gus to the eyes, especially those of Grape
and those which are spotted or figured. A
veil should never be worn, except to pro-
tect the eyes from dust or sleet, and then
for as short a time as possible,
There is scarcely IN ache to which chill
dren are subject so hard to bear and so
difficult to cure as earache. A remedy
which never fails is a pinch of black pep
per gathered up in a bit of cutton batting,
wet in sweet oil and inserted in the ear.
It will give immediate relief.
There is nothing better for a cut than
powdered resin. Pound it until fine, and
put it in an empty, clean pepper box with
perforated top; then you can easily sift it
out on the cut, and put a soft cloth around
the injured member, and wet it with cold
water once In a while. 1t will prevent in
1ammation and soreness.

CHAPTER VI.

And now we must turn to Mr.. Harry
Curwen. In the enterprise in which he
found himself, pushing down the Monon-
gahela first, and then the Ohio, he had no
formal commission in the United States
army. He had distinctly told Washing
ton and Knox that he was not seeking an
