silently through the forest from one to another
to defend them from the Indians.
He was peerless scout a great marksman,
and a man so deeply stepped in wilderness lore
that even the Indians could teach him nothing.
Perhaps it was at this time that Boone began
to look on himself as "an instrument ordained
by God to settle the wilderness"
The Revolutionary War increased the Ken
tuckians' troubles. The British at Detroit and
in Canada melted the Indian tribes to descend
on them. Not infrequently British officers came
down to lead such attacks. Boone-along with

group of Carolina and virginia citizens to in
vestigate the vast land Of Kentucky.
These men had formed q syndicate to exploit
and occupy the land beyond the Blue Ridge.
They commissioned Boone to explore it thor
oughly, and to negotiate for its purchase from
the Cherokee Indians
Kentucky was not, is sometimes stated,
an entirely unknown land at that time ROv-
ing trappers and woodsmen had made their
way through it long before Boone ever crossed
the Blue Ridge. But it was an empty land
(save for the Indians) and no whites had
ever tried to settle in it.
CO BEGAN the first Of those great, convulsive
and amazingly energetic waves by which
Americans began to push their frontier to
the West. And Daniel Boone, the archtype Of
the pioneer, restless and daring, lean and
saturnine as the Indians with whom he fought,
led the way.
From that time on for full generation, the
story of Kentucky is practically the story Of
Boone.
He went across the length and breadth of
this virgin land marveling Gas he confessed
later) at the beauty of the country, the richness
of the SOIL and the plenty of game-buffaloes

Boone outdistanced his pursuers covered the
$50 miles In four days. and reached the Ken
tucky settlement in time to rally the settlers
and gather them into the fort to await the
attack. When 1t came the British Indian assault
was thrust back with heavy loss, the survivors
retreating to Detroit and leaving Kentucky
safely in the hands Of the Americans.
But his reward for all this was a bit of
supremely bad luck.
Boone held large tracts of land as payment
for his services to the company which had
colonized Kentucky. Kentucky became a State
in I791-and it was discovered that Boone,
never a business man and possessing no knowl-
edge Of legal procedure had in some way failed
to make good his title to his lands So he found
himself suddenly dispossessed Of any share in
the land which he had been so instrumental in
winning.
Disgruntled, Boone did what disgruntled pio-
neers Of that time always did-he moved West.
He crossed the Mississippi into what is now
Missouri and was then a part of the domain
of the King Of Spain. The Spanish authorities
were delighted to have so doughty q warrior
settle there. and he was given vast tract Of
land SO miles from st. Louis.
Then in 1908, Boone's unlucky history re-

youngest of infants when he first put his mark
upon 1t!
Boone born near what is now Reading,
Pa, on November 2, 1884 His father was an
immigrant from Devonshire England, a sturdy
blacksmith named Squire, (his name, not a
title) Boone. Young Daniel grew up in a
settled, established community, learning the
backsmith's trade-and learning, also, to shoot
with the long rifle which was just coming into
favor with the frontiersmen.
When he was about II his family moved
down to the Yadkin Valley in North Carolina.
Their route led them along the eastern slope Of
the Blue Ridge. In the distance beyond the
hazy mountain ridges, to the west, lay the vast
empty territory that Boone later on, was to
redeem for white civilization.
CULL details of this part Of his life are not
known. He first put his name on the
scrolls of history in 1755, at the time Of Brad
docks monumentally mishandled expedition to
Fort Duquesne. Boone went along on that ex-
pedition as a WAGNER and blacksmith, and did
his share in the desperately bloody fighting that
ensued when Braddock led his men into
ambush.
Back to North Carolina he went afterward,
. veteran of Indian warfare. But number Of
years were yet to elapse before he began the
activities that were to make his name world
famous.
It is known that he married 15-year-old
Rebecca Bryan q year or so after the Braddock

Even sketchy account of
Boone's many adventures in this
period would fill a fat volume.
Here is a fair sample:

BooneSborough off to a salt lick to
collect salt. On the way the party
was surprised and captured by an
Indian war party. All hands were
carried off to Detroit.

Land Settlement Idea Found
Common Topic in Many Lands

Almost every country in the world,
from Albania down the alphabet to
Yugoslavia, is trying to solve problems
of land settlement. Books, newspaper
reports, and magazine articles have
been written on the subject in recent
years in practically every language.
These writings deal with land colon
ization in Algeria, small-farming in
Australia, rural settlement in Bolivia,
land reform in Bulgaria, freeholds in
Ceylon, agrarian reform in Dalmatia,
and so on to Yugoslavia where it has
been proposed recently to fix the max
imum area of large estates.
Library workers in the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics at Washington
have searched for literature on the
subject of land settlement with partic-
ular reference to small holdings and
subsistence homesteads, and they have
compiled photography of 2,701 refer
ences in English and in foreign Ian
guages. In selecting these references.
emphasis has been placed chiefly
on schemes leading to the eventual
ownership of a small farm or holding,
which will provide either partial or
complete employment for the owner
The schemes and the nomenclature
vary in the different countries, but the
idea of home where food for the
family can be grown is emphasized
generally.

munities for the relief of agriculture,
and the present-day back-to-the- land

Items on irrigation and reclamation
have been selected mainly from the
standpoint of the economic advisability
of the inauguration or continuation of
such projects.
Some of the writings on these sub
jects date back to pre-war days. AS
early as 1894, in an article cited in the
photography, the cultivation of vacant
lots by the poor and unemployed was
said to be so successful in Detroit that
other cities were adopting the plan. A
book published in 1905 contains a
report on agricultural colonies estab-
lished in California and Colorado by
the Salvation Army. and concludes
with the statement that although the
settlers are doing we'll, the Salvation

Maybe it was because their acting
had spelled romance in big letters,
for the two had been so manifestly
in love that they couldn't help put
ting the idea across the footlights.
The young couple had seemed to
be -rocketing to success, until a
green phantom of jealousy had in
tervened, and the rocket had burst in
midair.
Riggs smiled Bit sardonically to
himself as he thought of this while
waiting in the wings for the first-act

The irony of the situation ap-
pealed to Riggs dramatic magination.
In a few moments he would be re-
peating hterature's most famous love
poetry, swearing love until death-to
a faithful wife.
Riggs eyes raised from the script
and he stared unseeingly at the as
bestos curtain, lips compressed tightly.
He and his wife would make love
tonight for the last time. Never he
thought, would he let her have an
other. Especially not man like
Dornford Bates, the company's man
ager.
Throughout the II weeks of the run
Bates had been paying more than a
professional interest to June. And,
considering his reputation as Don
Juan, as well as the fact that through
him one could advance materially in
the theater, 1t was no wonder that
Riggs had become speculative, then
downright apprehensive. OF late re-
lationship between himself and June
had gradually become strained and
last night had been the climax.
Passing June's dressing room be-
fore the evening show, Riggs had heard
voices issuing from the slightly opened
door, her voice and that of Bates.
Suspicious, he had listened in cold
rage while the two arranged for a
meeting after the show the following
evening.
You'll get used to being away
from your husband if you expect to
get places, honey" Bates had said.
II have some business upstate to-
morrow, but I'll hurry back in time

Riggs had crept away. stunned by
his wife's scheming. Ever since he
had planned and fought within him

ideas were thwarted by the One fact:
