Pursued by Indians, He Cut Grapevine
Near Ground and Sailed Far
Enough to Break Track.

Do you remember reading In one
of the school histories about how the
doughty Daniel Boone. when pursued
by Indians on his way to the unknown
wilderness of Kentucky. cut a grape
vine near the ground so that 1t formed
swing upon which he Travelled
through the air far enough to break
his track? If you read it. you prob
ably thought 1t bit fishy. writes
Niksah. Unless you live somewhere
In the Allegheny mountains you would
not believe that wild grapevines are
long enough or strong enough or hold
onto the trees tight enough to make
much of a swung.
As matter of fact. there IL no rea-
son to doubt that Daniel made the
swing and got away from the Indians.
For In the mountains Of western Mary
land and eastern West Virginia. across
which Daniel took his hazardous way,
the boys are still making such swings
just for fun. And royal fun it is. The
writer was driving through the noun
tains near the upper Potomac when he
saw some enormous grapevines droop-
ing 60 or 20 feet from the tops Of the
trees. They had been cut close to
the ground, and the hillside above
them was all plowed up by the feet Of
youngsters.
The temptation to try the Daniel
Boone stunt was as irresistible. 1t was
quickly proved that by taking a rum
ming start down the hill one could
swing a most amazing and breath-tak-
Ing distance right out over the creek.
Swings made with ropes were tame by
comparison. But there was no tempta-
ton to emulate Daniel by letting loose
ut the end Of the swing. 1t took
pioneering nerve to do that.

EVERYTHING In Its Place.

Mrs. II. had just employed a new
maid. fresh from the old country. She
asked the girl to take the baby out In
the baby carriage. Gunhilde was de-
lighted. She had never seen a baby
before and from her articulate joy one
might think that she had waited for
this moment all her life. Mrs. H. was
pleased to see that the girl was SO will
ing. The baby was wrapped up and
they started. Two minutes later Mrs.
III. looked out Of the window and her
face froze with horror. Instead Of
rolling gently down the sidewalk the
way a baby should her child was being
pIloted majestically down the middle
Of the street in the midst Of automo-
biles and delivery wagons. From Gun
hides expression one could see that
she knew that her carriage was better
than any coach on the avenue.

Gordon Elliot was too much Of a

morning he was awakened by the
tramp of hurried feet along the deck

guessed that the Hannah was stuck on
