silently. The long, hot hours dragged
by. At sunset they heard the bugle
at Fort Knox, the stockade Enclosure
three miles up the river, sound family
the end of the day.
Night came on and a group Of men
gradually gathered on the benches and
the grass in front of the Jefferson
house, as the tavern Of Parmenas
Beckes, bearing on its slgnboard
staring portrait OF the statesman,
was grandly called. They talked in
low tones, and David. on the edge Of
the crowd, could not distinguish their
words. He knew, however, that most
of the leaders of the town were there:
Wash Johnson, the old postmaster,
with his deep voice booming out at
intervals; Henry Hurst and Henry
Van der Burgh, the judges; Benjamin
Parke, more recently appointed to the
bench; old John Small, who had been
sheriff twenty years before and
scalped with his own hand maraudlng
Indians whom his posse had pursued
and captured; Peter Jones, who had
seen the error of his ways as tav-
ern keeper and had reformed and be-
come the territorial auditor and the
custodian of the infant public library;
the hot-headed Virginian, Thomas Ran
dolph, SCARED with the knife wounds
received in his row with "Sawney"
Mcintosh, the defamer of Harrison;
the two sawbones, doc" Elias Nc
Nance and "Doc' Jake Kuykendall;
and a dozen more. Francois Vigo, the
old Spanish merchant, who had seen
George Rogers Clark storm Vincennes
80 years before, sat at David's side,
fine old fellow of seventy-flve.
The only light visible was that In
the shop of the printer, Elihu Stout,
industriously aiding his apprentice at
the types or wiping his inky fingers to

hand-press. The moths and insects
fluttered around his candles and the
sweat poured off his forehead; but the
Western Sun was due for publication

David listened with closer attention
when he overheard Governor Harrison
address a sQuare-jawed young man in
the uniform Of captain in the Unit
ed States army, telling him that he
had just written to Eustis, the sec
rotary of war, at Washington, and
had commended to the department the
work of the young captain in trans
forming the little fort near Vincennes
from place wretchedly neglected into
an adequate stronghold. Vigo whis-
pered to David that the boy. was Capt.
Zachary Taylor from Kentucky, who
had been placed in command at Fort
Knox but a few weeks previously.

POULTRY
PACK CHICKENS FOR MARKET
Methods Recommended by Specialists
Of Agricultural Department
Chill Every Fowl.

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists Of the agricultural depart
nent to give unusual attention to pre-
pairing and packing birds for ship
ment, particularly If the weather is
mild. The following methods are rec
ommended:
1. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean, well aired,
and free from vermin, and see that
the chickens have plenty Of fresh VIA
ter and plenty to eat
2. Don't kill n chicken when the
crop is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it is
killed. Food in the crop or in the i'm
testines of a dressed chicken causes

into active service"
Il will do what can with General
Harrison" assured the judge hastily
"God be with you"
The woodsmen who crowded about
them at the news warned them against
the quest. To all objections they re-
turned the same disregard; their duty
lay plain before them. Those who
bade them goodby looked on them as
men going to certain death.
It was an hour before sunrise, but
the sky was paling with the light pre-
ceding dawn. They drew deep breaths
and set or at trot. They went ON at
O steady shuttle, their eyes alert for
any signs. their ears strained for any
sound. At noon they stopped long
enough to eat little OF the smoked
venison in their packs, then went on
at the same pace. BY night they had
covered more than thirty miles; the
Indians whom they pursued had prob
ably made forty miles with no more
difficulty than they had put behind
them twenty.
The two knew that It was losing
game, If one factor was not taken
into consideration - the probability
that sooner or later Toinette's captors
would consider themselves beyond the
possibility Of pursuit, would make
camp in the woods for two or three
days while they hunted game; 1t was
on this off-chance that the two young
men hung doggedly to the chase.
They dared not travel by night. At
dark they made camp in a ravlne

suspended by strings, a couple of feet
from the floor, will be relished by the
hens. Be sure you are giving them
plenty of exercise. Whole grala should
be fed in ten-inch litter.
Clean up the incubator and get it
In running order. 1t might be adyis-

There is always some new equip
ment such as breeders and feed hop

Have you considered any addition
to your poultry yard? A small trial
with ducks, geese, turkeys, capons or
pigeons might prove profitable.

Taylor flushed through his tan with
pleasure. He would have liked to say
that he hoped that Harrisca might
some day occupy the presidential chair,

men of the frontier; far less would

my works are out of plumb, and I will
have to diet for weary months to
come. I'll have to get up early. and
walk hundred miles; what wonder II
I'm surly, and short on sunny smiles?
For months I'll have to swallow the
doctors noxious pills, and his instruc-
tions follow, and also pay his bills. The
grief is everlasting that festive seasons
bring; 'twere better II with fasting we'd
celebrate and sing. II we would cease
to swallow the Christmas cakes and
pies, and keep our persons hollow, me-
thinks 'twould be more wise.
