It was characteristic Of the late Sir
Henry Irving to make friends Of
Americans whom he met in London.
and TO show his appreciation of the
esteem and admiration in which he
was held here. But it would have
been asking too much to expect him
to be familiar with each persons claim
to his recognition. A contributor to
the New York Sun says that it was
often a case Of going it blind" on the
part OF the actor.

London found an invitation from Sir
Henry to one Of the famous suppers in
Beefsteak Room Of the Lyceum The
ater. He accepted the invitation with
delight. had as good time as the
guests Mt these gatherings Invariably
did, and ultimately became a close
friend Of the actor.
But neither at that first supper nor
at any time later did his host say n
word to explain how he happened to

CHAPTER VII.

When Norwood reached the fort he
found Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton and
Joel Logston ready to 60 in search of
the missing maiden. lie Bland stood
near, with brow overcast and sullen.
He gave Allan one of his peculiar looks
as he joined them.
"Imprudent young man! why did you
leave us?' exclaimed Boone.
81 would see you alone, sir" said AL
Ian.
This way, them replied the pioneer.
Now l will hear you"
Allan without further delay proceeded
to relate circumstantially all that he
had heard.
"a white man and an Indian" re-
peated Boone, thoughtfully. Il have

Girty-a man. to use a scriptural phrase
full of subtlety and mischief"
THE Indian was of small stature
and chief of the Miamis," said Allan.
He is called Little-Turtle. and is a
dangerous fellow. They spoke of an at
tack, did they?"
Norwood replied in the affirmative,
stating as much Of the conversation as
he could remember.
''The Frenchman referred to was no
doubt our amiable friend yonder," con-
tnued the pioneer, looking toward lie
Bland. 81 have long suspected him of
playing a double game like this. Leave
him to me; say nothing of this matter,
and we will see what can be done. He
had an appointment with Girty and the
Miami chief, no doubt, but did not think

asked Allan.
at is my opinion that it can. If he
has assured you that he knows nothing
of Miss Aston. am, for one, inclined
to believe him." said Boone.
What, then, can be accomplished?
In what direction shall we look for the
young ladyT continued Allan earnestly.
Those are difficult questions. If
number of US leave the fort in search of
ROsalthe, that very moment will prob
ably be the signal for an attack by our
enemies" replied Boone.
He made a gesture for Kenton and
Logston to approach. lie Bland being at
that moment busily engaged with Mr..
Aston.
The information which Allan had
brought was briefly stated. and for
short space not word was spoken by
either party, each striving to find out
by some mental process what was best
to be done.
"It's my opinion" said Joel Logston,
at length, "that the Frenchman had bet

"He is called among my people Shois-
ka. which means Smooth Tongue re-
piled the Indian. with disdainful smile.
And without another word walked swift
ly away. Norwood gazed after him a
moment, and then turned to retrace his
steps to the fort. He had accomplished
about two-thirds of the distance, when
feeling somewhat fatigued, he sat down
to rest a moment.
Suddenly Nesuvius started up and
shifted the air and at the same time
Allan caught a glimpse of a human
figure moving hurriedly among the trees.
He Immediately concealed himself behind
a log as we'll as he could, and putting his
hand on the neck of his canine COM
panion, kept him still.
The figure approached and proved to
be that of a white man. Allan was
about to rise from his place of conceal
ment when another party appeared and
caused him to forego his purpose. The
second conner was an Indian, and the
two advanced to within few PAGES of
our hero.
"Where is Smooth-Tongue asked the
Indian, rather indfferently.
Hasn't come. I've been waiting a
long time" replied the white man.
The white man was Silas Girty, an
individual we'll known to the settlers of
Kentucky. He was a faithless, treach-
erous fellow. celebrated for nothing save
being friendly to the Indians, and incit-
ing them to acts of aggression and cru
city. He led many of the attacks that
were made upon Boonesborough and
Harrodsburg. His companion was a
chief of the Miamis, called the Little
Turtle, a character also mentioned in
the annals of frontier warfare
Are the Miamis ready to make an
attack" asked Girty.
THE bold Miamis are ready; they are
always ready when the warwhoop sounds
along the border" said Little-Turtle.
81 have seen the Wyandots-they are
ready also. Why should there be any
more delay about the matter? For my
part l don't see no use in 1t; every hour
that goes by without being improved is
an hour lost. People will say that we
make war like women and not like men. :"
The chief of the Miamis is ready to
lead his warriors to battle. Let the
Wyandots come on. and we will level
the big wigwam with the dust"
You talk well; you are wise chief;
but the Frenchman comes not according
to his appointment.
Girty and Little-Turtle waited short
time longer, and then walked from the
spot. Allan arose hastily from his place
of concealment, and returned to the fort
without loss of time.

ABOUT "ESPERANTO."
Brief Lesson in the New "Univer-
sal" Language.

Brief Lesson in the New "Untver-
saI' Language.
Esperanto, the new "universal' lam
guage, seems to be making no little
progress in Europe. When it was put
forward by its inventor, Dr. Zamenhof,
after Volapuk had failed as a common
tongue for all races, its chances SEEM
ed very slim, but now great many
persons are studying it and there are
societies for its propag CATION in half the
big cities between Stockholm and
Cairo. Like its predecessor, it is pro-
posed as solution of the great prob
lem of Babel, says the Baltimore
News. If all the world understood it
there would be no need for the German
Russian, or for the American to tackle
German, French, Italian, Russian,
Spanish and Greek. On the common
ground of Esperanto all men could
meet and hold converse.
Like Volapuk, it is an artificial lam
guage, made Of the choicer cuts of all
modern tongues. English, apparently,
as the worlds chief language. has CIV
en- it more words than any other. Thus
'beefsteak," to the Esperantist, be-
comes "bifsteko," and alphabet" al
phabeto." French comes next in order.
with "fromago" for cheese, etc, and
after it come German, italian, Span
ish, Swedish Dutch and Russian. Ev-
cry civilized tongue has made its con-
tribution.
A study Of the Esperanto vocabulary
impresses upon one the fact that there
are an enormous number of words that
are practically the same in every Eu-
ropean language. Thus, the word for
price is almost identical in English,
German, Swedish, Dutch, French,
Spanish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian,
Bohemian and Danish. So, also. are
thousands of other words" coffee"
beer" salt" wine" sugar"
might" etc. Dr. Zamenhof, in fashion
ing Esperanto, took full advantage Of
this fact, and in consequence an ordi-
nary sentence in his new tongue Is un-
derstandable, as a rule, to almost ev-
cry one. Thus, a European would guess
that ''la rozog estas sur Ia tablo"
meant THE roses are on the table,"
and that La domo de la SinJor Il.
estas ire bella" was EsperanteSe for
THE home of Mr.. b. is very beauti-
full"
That such a language has claims to
serious consideration is very plain.
With its simple grammar and invari-
able infections, it is infinitely less diff
cult to the student than any modern
tongue. Mark Twain once said that
any intelligent man could get a fair
working knowledge of English in thir-
ty days, Of French in thirty weeks and
of German I'm thirty years. Esperanto
tops all of these in simplicity. A glance
at a lesson book shows that pretty
good acquaintance with its chief fea-
lures should be obtained In thirty
hours.
At the recent Zionist congress at
Basel some of the delegates from re-
mote countries communicated with one
another through the medium of this
neutral tongue. In a few years, per-
haps, its usefulness may be extended,
and IL the linguistic experts now per-
fecting II give it n more English caste,
1t may yet serve the world gloriously.

Ten persons out Of twelve, perhaps,
old as we'll as young, are under the
impression that the State Of Pennsyl-
vania was named after William Penn.
This, however, IS an error, for 1T was
named after Admiral Penn, Williams $
father. The English government owed
the admiral good deal Of money
when he died. and King Charles II.
gave to the admirals son William the
region west of the Delaware In pay
ment of the debt. William Penn In
tended to call it Sylvania, which, you
know. means Woodland or Forest
land. but the King insisted that the
name Penn should be prefixed in honor
of the admiral. and that is how 1t came
TO be called Pennsylvania.
