dams would not part with. He was taken
back to Chilhcothe and adopted into the
family of Blackfsh, a Shawnee chief
The Indians were careful not to give him
much ammunition but he collected a goodly
store by halving his bullets and using small
charges Of powder. In the following June
he learned that FIVE hundred Indians were to
march on Boonesborough, and he determined
to make his escape and reach the fort IN
time to give the alarm.
AT dawn on the 10th of June he plunged
into the woods and. although the heetest In
dian runners followed him, he outwitted them
and reached the fort only to learn that he
had been given up for dead, and that his
wife and children had gone back to the
Yadkin.
The Indians soon appeared and the siege
began. There we're nearly five hundred of
them, while he had only fifty men; but the
defense was such brave one that the Shaw
nees gave up in despair and the old block
house became the nucleus of the present
town.
Boone Joined his family in North Carolina,
but found that all the cid terms of settle
ment in Kentucky had been nbrogated, and
that he had no right to the land he looked
upon as his own.
To secure one of the tracts which were
for sale, he started for Richmond, Virginia,
where the Land Court sat, taking also mon
eys intrusted him for investment by his
neighbors, but on the way was robbed OF
all he had about him.
He returned to Boonesborough and resum-
ed an ordinary settlers life and worked hard
to retrieve his loss.
In 1T95, Boone went to Missouri, settled
on the Usage Woman River and was made
commandant Of the district by the Spanish
government.
Soon afterward, Napoleon obtained the
whole of the region west of the Mississippi
and Missouri, SO that Boone was by turns a
subject of George II, of the United States, of
Transylvania, OF the Shawnees, of Spain and
of France.
He spent three years in Missouri, hunting
and trapping, and having accumulated large
stock Of furs, he took them to Kentucky,

DANIEL BOONE, THE PIONEER

the Indians were driven off and the girls
were rescued unharmed
q, A constant peril hung over the fort like a
cloud. An Indian warrior would hide be-
hlnd tree-stump at night and wait there
until morning. so that he could shoot the
hrst man who came out Of the fort
One day in May general attack was made,
which lasted till eleven o'clock at night, and
was kept up next day from morning until
burn the fort, but at last the Indians were
driven back.
Another day two men, who had been fired
upon by Indians, ran to the fort for shelter.
An Indian followed them and Just as they
were about to enter the gate, he killed and
scalped one of them.
Daniel Boone and ten men rushed out,
only to find themselves surrounded by a
crowd of Indians, who had been lying in
ambush. Six of the white men were wound,
cd and Boone's leg was shattered
at him, tomahawk in hand but before he
could strike, Simon Kenton, another noted
pioneer, shot him through the heart, and
he dropped lifeless on Boone.
The beleaSuered garrison was in sore need
OF salt, and in January, 1878, Boone, with
thirty men, went hundred miles to the
north to secure supply at the salt springs.
For four weeks they worked, boiling the
water in their kettles and never moving out
of reach of their rifles.
One morning when Boone was alone in the
woods, hunting for something for breakfast,
he found himself face to face with two In
dians. One of them fred, but Boone dodged !;
the other aimed at him, but he sprang aside
untouched.
Then he fired, and one of the Indians fell
dead, and, leaping upon the other, he killed
him with his hunting knife.
One morning in February, when Boone was
away hunting, he was surrounded by band
OF one hundred Indians and made pris-
oner. The, took him to Salt Springs, where
his comrades, at his suggestion, surrendered
themselves.
They were taken to Chillcothe, beyond the
Ohio, and from there to Detroit, where all
were ransomed except Boone, whom the In

A Brave Little Prince

A pretty story Is told of the. young son Of
Napoleon l., the child whose birth was ,e,c-
brated with such rejoicing as King Of Rome. =
and whose early death Is hardly thought
worthy OF notice in history.
The little boy lived with his grandinil -,
the Emperor Of Austria, at Schonbrunn. Whel
he was about six years old the Princess Ut
Wales sent a present TO the Emperor Of a
pair of young lions. Little Napoleon took i
great fancy TO these new pets, and often visit
ed them fed them. and caressed them, til
they became very fond of him. The Emperor,
naturally enough, had not so much time to
make friends with these strange playfellows,
and one day when he asked to see the lions
little Napoleon thought he noticed an uneasy
look on his grandfather's face as they were
up to the nearest lion and threw his arms
round its neck, exclaiming-"N Now, grandpapa,
you may come near; he shant touch you"

Captains Of Honor

Jacks advice was not without its effect
upon Abe, who finally spoke of it to his
friends, and it was brought up in the club.
The more it was talked about, the more
unanimous grew the opinion that it was
Just the thing to do.
"You can beat him." said Oh. II tell
you, Abe, you have got a stroke Jay Noble
can't equal"
II am not so sure of it, Oh. You should
remember that Jay Noble is called the best
oarsman on Sunny River"
WAS, before YOU came, Abe. Things amt
what they used to be. l tell you, the
Pinerv amt TO be sneered at now, and Abe
York is our mayor That's what 'Ras Bush
said, anyway"
Before Abe would take the first step TO-
ward challenging his rival Of Armndale, he
consulted his teacher, who, as soon as she
recovered from her surprise, declared that it
would be a great plan.
"Of course. you and Jay needn't lose any
OF your friendship, Abe, by doing it. If
thought you would, / should he opposed to
it. Jay is a very dear friend Of mine, as
we'll as you, and have countenanced nothing
that would cause any hard feelings. But l
lieve that you would come out of the race
as you went in. So | say go ahead!' and
NAV the best man win"
So Abe sent his challenge to the captain
of the Bonnie Blues, and in due course of
time its acceptance was received. A COM
mittee was appointed by each club and all
the prclimnarics arranged.
The race was set for October S-Abe's
birthdav-and was to take place over the
same course where the Pine Phmes had won
their victory. But there was to be this diff
ference; Instead of a straight two-mile pull
the rowers to go down the river to a buoy
one mile and half and then turn and come
back to the starting point, making the dis
tance three miles; it was TO open nt one
o'clock, as the days were getting shorter.
The notice OF the race and the fame OF
the rivals had spread so far that the people
began to gather from the adjoining towns long
before noon, so that by half-past twelve
o'clock it was utterly impossible for n per
son to get within n rod of the rver bank,
without resorting to some violence.
Abe came down the river as before, ac-
companied by his club, who would not allow
him to touch an oar.
As the boat passed under the bridge, Abe
saw a handkerchief waving toward him, and
a second look showed him that it was held
by Iva Noble.
A minute later they came close down to
the starting point when he discovered Cap
tain Noble already approaching from the right
bank.
As the rivals thus simultaneously appear-
Cd loud cheering began and handkerchiefs
and scarfs were haunted on the breeze from
every quarter.
At sight Of Captain York, the chief of
the Bonnie Blues, rowed down near enough
80 he could take Abes hand by reaching
out over the side Of the boat.
'You must not let it discourage you, Abe
but ! shall do my best to win, and never
felt in better trim"
II shan't envy you the race if you do,
Jay, and if lose it, it shall be no fault
Times up!" called out the starter.
Ready for the world"

when the weather would permit the club
devoted to rowing. 1t was expected that the
Bonnie Blues would not allow the season to
pass without challenging them to another
race, and it would not do for them to be un.
prepared.
In about ten days the expected challenge
came, and of course the Pine Plumes ac'
ceptcd, though not without serious misgiv.
ings as to the result. AS the challenged
party, they had the choice of place, so that
it was arranged for the second trial to come
off on their own ground, or, more strictly
speaking, water.
The inhabitants of the Pinery were again
aroused, though very few outside of the club
realized that it was possible to defeat the
champions.
"Wen do the best we can, boys" said
Abe; but you mustn't feel discouraged If
we get beat You must remember that the
Bonnie Blues have been practIcIng three
years, while we have not been organized as
many months. But an honorable defeat is no
disgrace, and while we may not be able to
give them each a suit of clothes il they de-
feat us, we can and viii treat them gener-
ously."
Quite crowd came up from Armadale to
witness the race, and all of the P1nery peo-
pie were on hand.
The Pine Plumes wore their new SUITS so
they presented a good appearance this time,
but their good clothes did not save them
the race.
The Bonnie Blues came in twenty seconds
ahead, amid loud cheering from their friends,
while the other side looked exceedingly glum.
Every one OF the Pine Plumes had done
the very best possible, but they lacked the
experience of their rival.
The first to congratulate Captain Noble
was Captain York.
81 expected it from the beginning, Jay,
though we did the best we could. The boys
feel pretty well for defeated ones
"Why shouldn't they" asked the captain
of the Bonnie Blues. They have held us
as hard a bout as we have had for a long
time. And right here, Abe, l want to

or we could never have done as we have"
81 will tell you what is better yet; your
persistent efforts. Well, the Bonnie Blues
are at your command at any and all times
We are proud of our rivals"
Amid cheers and general good feeling
the visiting club started homeward, leaving
a feeling of bitter disappointment among the
people of the Pinery They were not used
to defeat; or rather they had not known
the real cost of their former victory.
"Avast there, Cap'en York." called out

The poultry trade includes chickens,

making It a noise producer in the nei Oh
