RUMAN|A MAY REQUEST.
DELAY IN DEBT FUNDING.
Indicated in Negotiations That
Time Will Be Asked for Prin-
cipal and Interest.

With the opening Of negotiations
for the funding Of Rumania's war
debt of s41,O00.O00 to this country,
it was learned the Rumanian commits
sion may ask for an extension Of time
of perhaps four or five years during
which payments Of interest and princi-
pal may be deferred. A formal state
ment by Eftimie Antonesco, head OF
the foreign delegation, however, made
no mention Of the Rumanian program.
The commission, composed OF NJ. An
tonesco and Constantine Antoniade, was
accompanied in conferences with Sec
retary Mellon and Assistant Secretary
nian charge d'affaires Of the Rumanian
embassy, and r 3. Wiggelsworth. coun-
sel for the commission.
I'VE cannot for obvious reasons

any details concerning the progress

"but wish to point out that the in
terview I gave in Paris recently was
incorrectly reported. as did not men :
ton anything deflaite with regards to
the date on which we can peeln 10

Mr.. Antonesco said he was surprised
to read In some American newspapers
that Rumania had "wastefully ex-
pended" 300.000,00O francs or about
$40 100000 on the recent coronation
Of her sovereigns. Although the cere-
mony was in substance. he said. a

marians, 1t cost in all about 100000.

CHAPTER xix

On the summit of Cumberland gap
Erskine Dale faced E'ircny to the cast
and looked his last on the forests that
swept unhrokcn back to the river
James 1t was all over for him back
there and he turned to the wilder
depths, those endless leagues of shad-
"wy woodlands, that he would never
leave again.
At BoonrSborough he learned from
the old fcrryman that, while the war
might be coming to an end i'm vir-
Ginia, it was raging worse than ever
in Kentucky. There had been bloody
Indian forays, bloody white rcprisuls,
fierce private wars, and even then the
whole border was in Il flame. Forts
had been pushed westward even be.
yond Lexington, and 1882 had been
kentucky's year OF blood IIrSkinc
pushed on, and ever grew his hopeless
ness The British had drawn all the
Savagcs Of the Northwest into the war.
AS soon as the snow was off the
ground the forays had begun. Horses
were stolen, cabins burned. and wom-
Ell and children were carried off can
tive. The pioneers had been confined
to their stockadcd forts, and only
small bands Of rflcmen sailed out to
patrol the country. Old Jerome San
drrs' fort was deserted. Old Jerome
had been killed. Twcnty-thrce widows
were at Ilarrodsburg filing the claims
Of dead husbands, and among them
were Polly Conrad and Honor San
dcrs. The people were expecting an
attack in great force from the In
dians led by the British. At the Blue
Licks there had been successful am
bush by the Indians and the whites
had lost half their number, among
them many brave men and natural
leaders Of the settlements. Captain
Clark was at the mouth Of Licking
river and about to set out on an eX-
pcdition and needed men.
Erskinc, sure of welcome, Joined
him and again rode forth with Clark
through the northern wilderness, and
this time thousand mounted rifle
men followed them. Clark had been
stirred ut last from his lcthargy by
the tragedy Of the Blue Licls and
this expedition was one Of repr.snl
and revenge; and it was to be the
last. The time was autumn and the
corn was ripe. The triumphant saw

by surprise, and startled and dis

rebirth of power in the beaten whites,

their approach, and Clark put the
torch not only to cabin and wigwnm
but to the fields Of standing corn. AS
winter was coming on. this would be
a sad blow, as Clark intended, to the
savages.
Erskinc had told the big chief of
MS mother, and every man knew the
Story ana was on guard that she
should come to no harm. A captured

lie told his plans to none.
III the early spring, when he brought
his mother home, she said that Black
Wolf had escaped and gone farther
INTO the wildcrncSS-that Early Morn
had gone with him. Ills mother
seemed i'll and unhappy. Erskine, not
knowing that Barbara was on her way
TO ilnd him, started on Il hunting trip.
In a few days Barbara arrived and
found his mother unable to leave her
bed, and Lydia Noe sitting beside her.
Harry had Just been there to say good
by before going to Virginia.
Barbara was dismayed by Erskine's
absence and his mothers look Of suf-
fcring and extreme weakness, and the
touch of her cold fingers. There was
no way Of reaching her son, she said
he did not know Of her Illness. Bar
bara told her Of Erskne's giving her
his inheritance and that she had come
to return it. Meanwhile Erskine
haunted by his mothers sad face, had
turned homeward To his bewildcr-
ment, he found Barbara at his moth
cr's bedside. a glance at their faces
told him that death was near. His
mother held out her hand to him while
still holding Barbara's. AS in dream,
he bent over to kiss her, and with
last effort she joined their hands,
clasping both. great peace trans
formed her face as she slowly looked
at Barbara and then up at lIrskine.
With sigh her head sank lower, and
her lovely dmming eyes PASSED into
the final dark.
Two days later they were married.
The woodsmcn, old friends of Frs
kinc's, were awcd by Barbara's dainti-
ness, and there were none of the rude
jests they usually flung back and
forth. With hearty handshakes they
said good-by and disappeared into the
mighty forest. In the silence that fell.
ErSkine spoke of the life before them.
of its hardships and dangers, and then
Of the safety and comfort Of Virginia.
Barbara smiled:
"You choose the wilderness, and
your choi;:e Is mine. We will leave
the same choice )" She flushed
suddenly and bent her head.
