CHAPTER n.
Corydon.


 A short days march north of the broad current of the Ohio, at the point where two rapid creeks-Big Indian and Little Indian-unite, stood a clus- ter of thirty or forty cabins. The logs that made the walls of the oldest of them had been growing in the virgin forest three years before. In the center of tle village was a grassy square. In 1t a new stone house, forty feet square, its walls two and one-half feet thick, its roof still incomplete, stood in the shadow of the forest trees which had been left standing around 1t.
 From the little settlement the prime val forest stretched away to the sand dunes of the Great Lakes, to the hills of the Ohio, to the prairies of the nli- nois country, a vast tract of hundred thousand square miles in extent; si- lent, inhabited only by savage beast and more savage redskinned hunter {; painless, dreadful, fascinating.
 The settlement was Corydon; the stone house the building which was to be the first capitol of the territory and the state hewn from the virgin woods Louisville, with 1900 inhabitants. 20 miles to the east; vincennes, the Old Post, with less than a thousand, 90 miles to the northwest; other than these, no settlement of any size in all that savage empire, large e England herself.
 Hither came all the picturesque fig ures of the new West. First to come was the patriarch, Squire Boone. brother of Daniel Boone, the mighty hunter of Kentucky; then Lane. the Penningtons, the Spencers, George and Spier. the popularity of the latter giving rise to the old couplet: 'Mongst all the Boones thar's jest one
 Squire;
 'Mongst all the spencers jest one

 Mfr. O'Bannon promises to be re- sponsible for you, Mir. Larrence. Do you think you can take care of the business? It asks nothing more than ordinary shrewdness in trading" But" David cried, overwhelmed, you know nothing about me. Major Posey! Why-why-how can you l'trust a stranger with such a respon- sibility?"
 "Oh, as for that" the major an- sweSed, you will be watched like a hawk by Mfr. O'Bannon. For the mat ter of that, Mir. Larrence, I think I'm a fair judge of men, myself; and I'll echo Mir. O'Bannon's opinion of you, | at first glance. No need to blush-we say what we think, hereabouts." David could only stammer his grati- tude.
 "very well. then, I'll give Mir. O'Ban- non the key at once." He drew out an enormous affair of iron and handed 1t smilingly to David's sponsor. And now for a Hoosler dinner" said O'Bannon, and he produced a | Spanish dollar which the tavern keeper took with a nod. He waved David 10 the long table. The rude dishes were heaped with roast chicken l and wild duck. There were baked buffalo fish and cornbread, and there were pitchers of milk. At O'Bannons | word a bottle of Madeira was added. When David had finished he rose to take his departure with O'Bannon. Colonel Posey walked with them to the door and laid his hand upon Mir. | O'Bannon's shoulder.

CeIery's Many Virtues.

There is but little enlightenment af- forded in the everyday culinary liter ature on the many uses of that deli cious plant known as celery. Proba- ply no other plant Is so well adapted to cooking in so many different styles as celery. a vegetable that can also be eaten raw.
 There is hardly any other vegetable of which every part can be brought to such good account. The trimmings can be used for fiavoring purposes, or for soup and broth, while the seeds are carefully preserved for similar uses. or to produce celery salt, which in it. self forms an ideal table condiment.
