Don't blame 'em too much. I'll tell you now. Some fur traders came by here, and one of 'em said you was goin' to marry an Injun girl named Early Morn that you was goin' to stay with 'em and fight with 'em alongside the British. Of course I knowed bet ter, but"
 Why" interrupted Erskine. "they must have been the same traders who came to the Shawnee town and brought whisky" -.
 'That's what the feller said and why folks here believed him."
 ''Who was he?" demanded Erskine.
 "You know him-Dane Grey"
 All tried to make amends straight way for the injustice they had done him, but the boys heart remained sore that their trust was so little. Then, when they gathered all settlers within the fort and made all preparations and no Indians came, many seemed again to get distrustful and the lad was not happy. The winter was long and hard. A blizzard had driven the game west and south and the garrison was hard put to it for food. Every day that the hunters went forth the boy was among them and he did far more than his share in the killing of game. But when winter was breaking, more news came in of the war. The flag that had been fashioned of a soldiers white shirt, an old blue army coat, and red petticOat was now the Stars and Stripes of the American cause. Burgoyne had not cut off New England. that "head of the re- bellion," from the other colonies. On the contrary, the Americans had beat. en him at Saratoga and marched his army off under those same Stars and Stripes, and for the first time Erskine heard of gallant Lafayette-how he had run to Washington with the DOT tentous news from his king-that beautiful, passionate France would stretch forth her helping hand. And Erskine learned what that news meant to Washington's naked and starving soldiers dying on the frozen hillsides of Valley Forge. Then George Rogers Clark had passed the fort on his way to Williamsburg to get money and men for his great venture in the Northwest, and Erskine got a ready permission to accompany him as sol dier and guide. After Clark was gone the lad got restless; and one morning, when the first breath of spring came, he mounted his horse, in spite of argu- ments and protestations, and set forth for Virginia on the wilderness trail. He was going to join Clark, he said, but more than Clark and the war were drawing him to the outer world. What 1t was he hardly knew, for he was not 0r-mind. He did know. however, that

To Sell Forgotten Pictures.

Copies of the masterpieces Of the
louvre made by unknown or struggling
artists and long stored in the basement
of the museum are to be sold.
Most of the copies have been in stor-
age for more than thirty years, aban-
doned and forgotten by those who
painted them. Some tell stories of
ambitious beginnings and discouraged
endings. Many copies are but half
finished, while still others are but half
dabs Of paint.
Many American names appear in the
corners of these pictures of students
who have long since left Paris.
A majority of the names are impos-
sible to read, but few have been dis
covered of men and women recognized
in the world of art today. For obvious
reasons, the youthful efforts of these
are not to be exposed with the names
apparent.
The lovers of art have been invited
to come and see these unique pictures
and to buy them at their own prices,
so that the basement may be cleared
for another batch of abandoned efforts

Find 500 Skeletons in Cave.

Discovery Of approximately 500 hu-
man skeletons in a cave in the noun
tains about Is miles from Bristol was
made Wednesday by Professor Henry
Woodman of that city, who made an
inspection Of the cave at the invitation
of mountaineers.
An opening which runs 40 feet
straight down in the earth was found
several days ago by people living in
that section. Upon making investiga-
ton they found several human skulls.
The skulls were taken to Bristol and
newspaper men and college professors
were asked to enter and inspect the
interior of the opening.
Upon descending the tunnel by
means of a rope Prof. Woodman found
a heap of human bones 80 feet high and
about 80 feet wide Indian hatchets
and beads were also found. The cave
has several tunnels reaching off on the
sides and is in the shape of a huge
crevice in the earth. The bones were
partly covered by earth which is
thought to have fallen in from the
opening above. The peak of the heap
is directly under the entrance and this
leads to the belief that the Indians
threw their dead into the cavity.
The heap is cene-shaped and contains
an assortment of every bone in the hui
man body. Professor Woodman de-
clares experiments show that some of
the bones have been in the cave for
about 1000 years. A number of ex-
perts and archaeologists are planning
to spend a night in the cave to continue
the investigation. The cave is To-
Gated in a spot in the mountains al
most inaccessible.

Mine Trials Will Cost State $50, 900.


Court clerks throughout the State
have been notified by State Auditor
John c. Bond that the years expenses
of criminal trials have been exhausted,
and that no more would be available
until July. Under recent acts OF
the Legislature, he pointed out, il is
impossible to use funds appropriated
for the next fiscal year to pay current
expenses in the present one which will
not end until June 80.
One Of the principal difficulties
raised by the depletion of the money
for criminal cases is the problem Of ar
rangement for trials set for April in
Jefferson county of more than 100 men
indicted in Logan county for various
offenses alleged TO have been committed
during the armed march last fall. AL
though legally it would be possible
for the sheriff of Jefferson county TO
pay the expenses out Of the county
funds, and hold the charges against
the State on his books until another
session of the Legislature make an ap-
preparation to cover them, it is not
probable that enough money would be
available in the county for the purpose.
1t is estimated that expenses charge
able to the State for trial of the Logan
county cases would be more than $780,
600, while county funds available for
the entire years expenses would be
less than that amount. The Auditor
also pointed out that, under the law,
it was not possible to borrow money
for paying expenses when there was
no appropriation to cover them.
Witness fees and travelling expenses,
fees and jurors and stenographic costs
in trial of felony charges are paid by
the State from annual appropriations
for this purpose. With costs for GRIM
nal cases increasing so rapidly, the
appropriations have also been increaS-
ing each year, until that for the fiscal
year ending next June was S85,000.
This, however, did not keep pace with
the greater costs, occasioned in part
by long trials growing out of industrial
conflicts and in the calendar year 1921,
the cost to the State Of criminal cases
was $4,000, of which the greate1
part was spent in the last half OF the
year. AS a result, with only seven
months of the fiscal year gone, the en-.
tire appropriation has been used up.
In addition to the need of the State
funds for the trials set for Jefferson
county, heavy demand on the county
treasury will be made by the trial:
because State pay covers only the time
after they are sworn to try the case
and until the verdict.
In the Matewan trials at William
son this brought a heavy expense t.
Mingo county, because it was nearl,
three weeks before jury was complet
ed, the county paying the talesmen dur
ing the time.
Attorney General E. T. England
said that he did not believe the diff
culties over funds would prevent tria
OF the cases at Charles Town, and i
was pointed out in other quarters tina
witnesses were required TO appear, re

idly being completed, delegates gath
cred here today at meeting of the

Mr.. Boggs said that the PIP miles of
the highway in Kentucky with the ex-
ception OF forty-five miles had some
kind Of hard surface on it.

Boyd Fiscal Court
Makes Appropriation
For Road Work

AT the regular session OF Boyd fis-
cal court sS4,500 was appropriated by
the court toward the improvement and
completion OF the Mayo trail from the
mouth Of Laurel to the city limits of
catlettsburg, providing that the state
highway commission let's the contract
by August /, to surface the road, with
the requirement that one-half be COM
pleted by December of this year or
one-half by September of next year.
Senator George B. Martin represent
ing the citizens OF Catlettsburg in a
brief talk explained to the court the
necessity Of early repair and compile
ton Of the road. NJ. E. S. Posey, di-
vision engineer OF the state highway
department also appeared before the
court with regard to certain facts con-
cerning the road.
The court after careful considera-
tion. ordered. that the proposition be
submitted TO the state highway road
commission at Frankfort and that NJ.
f. S. Posey and Ben Williamson be
appointed as a committee to go to
Frankfort to introduce the order be-
fore the commission.
The appropriation as made by the
Fiscal court was an exceedingly i'm
portant step. The unfinished condition
of the Mayo Trail from Catlettsburg
TO the mouth of Laurel has been a sub.
ject for much unfavorable discussion
by the citizens Of Catlettsburg and the
residents Of the Laurel district for
several months. The blame for 7iow
action with reference TO the repair OF
the road has been placed at the feet
of the state highway commission.
On several different occasions COM
mittees have been sent from this
county to Frankfort in order to ap-
pear before the commission and se-
cure information as to when the COM
mission would begin work toward the
surfacing of the highway which, ac-
eordinR TO the terms of their contract
should have been done several months
ago. These committees returned from
Frankfort their mission having met
with little or no success. Complaints
flowed into the Fiscal court from rural
residents living along the Mayo Trail.
which bore evidence of the fact that
they were very much dissatisfied with
the condition of road. Statements
from them revealed the fact that on
certain occasions the road was prac-
tica.ly impossible and that 1t was an
utter imposibility to get to the county
seat by this route.
II was ordered by the court that II
land owners along the route of the
proposed roadway from West Ashland
no Fairview would give right of way
so feet wide and build fence along
same, the county would open up and
establish the road as proposed.-As
land Independent.
