POPULARITY OF BLUE GRASS
Kentucky Soldiers, on Return March
From Battle Of Tippecanoe, Gath
cred Seed In Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky SOL
diers who fought at Tippecanoe took
back with them the seed that has made
blue grass famous In central Ken
lucky, has never been questioned or
seemed to reqSre authentic proof, de-
clares writer. Mrs. Levering says,
In her Authentic Indiana"
ut was on the return march from
the battle Of Tippecanoe that the sol
diers from Kentucky gathered the seed
Of the blue grass which they found
growing In Indiana, and carried 1t
home with them, thinking 1t was SUI
perior variety because 1t satisfied the
hunger Of their horses so well that
they would not eat corn. 1t flourished
so well on the limestone soil Of central
Kentucky that II made that state fa-

information obtained from early set
tiers Of Indiana. Kentucky was not
known as the blue grass state until
many years after the battle Of Tippe-

AS long as slavery existed, Ken

Michigan and Wisconsin were classed

When Indiana was admitted to the
Union, In 1916, II consisted Of 13 coun-
ties, viz: Wayne, Franklin, Dearborn,

fhe trail at daylight in the morning.
The vanguard OF the land hungry
had already penetrated to Fort George.
Up and down the NGchac0 valley, and
bordering upon the Fraser, were the
cabins of the pre-emptors. The roads
were dotted with the teams NJ the
Incoming. A slzable town had sprung
up around the old trading post.
"They come like bees when the rush
starts" Bill remarked.
Leaving Fort George behind. they
bore across country toward Pine river.
Here and there certain landmarks,
craven deep In Hazel's recollection,
uprose to claim her attention. And
one evening at sunset. they rode up to
the little cabin, all forlorn In It's clear

Inside, n gray film of dust had nc
cumuated on everything, and the
rooms were oppressive with the musty
odorS that gather In q closed, unten-
anted house. But apart from that 1t
stood as they had left 1t thirteen
months before. No foot had crossed
the threshold. The pile of wood and
kindllng lay beside the fireplace as
Bill had placed 1t the morning they
left.
"'De 1t ever so humble" Bill left
the line of the old song unfinished, but
his tone was full of jubllation. Be
tween them they threw wide every
door and window. The cool evening
wind filled the place with sweet, pine
scented air. Then Bill started blaze

and went out to hobble his horses for

In the morning they began to un-
pack their household goods. Rugs and
bearskins found each its accustomed
place upon the floor. His books went
back on the shelves. With magical
swiftness the cabin resumed its old
home atmosphere. And that night BIZ

"Of course not !" she denied vlgor-

Bits eyes narrowed trlhe, but he
still smiled. And suddenly he stepped
around behind her chair, put both
hands under her chin, and tilted her
head backward.
"Ah, you're plumb sick and tired to

said soberly. you've been up here

"Why, Bill" she protested.
But she realized In flash that Bill
could read her better than she could
read herself. Few of her emotions
could remain long hidden from that

where she stood, and by what paths
she had gotten there. Trust him to
