The Red Road A Romance of Braddock’s Defeat

By Hugh Pendexter Illustrations by Irwin Myers Copyright by Hugh Pendexter. WNU Service i' CHAPTER IX—-Continued “They are charging us!" cried the Onondaga. And sounding his warwhoop he tired at the figures now swiftly bounding forward. I also fired and stopped a savage. But I did not believe the affair would amount to anything more than an exchange of shots between the scouts until I recognized Captain Beaujeu at the bead of a mixed force of French and Indians. On the breast of his fringed hunting-shirt was a silver gorget, a pleasing target had I not emptied my rifle at the savage. A moraent after I fired. Beaujeu halted and waved his hat above his head, and the Indians scattered to left and right. I would have believed the enemy was retreating had not the Canadians and regulars remained to hold the road against us. While I was reloading. Mr, Gordon of the engineers came up and was the 'first of :he regulars to behold the enemy. It seemed to be a most foolhardy thing for two hundred Frenchman to dispute the Duquesne road against our proud army. I began to realize we were in for something more tnan a skirmish when a heavy fire opened on us from ahead and from both sides. Round Paw and I bgt.ii bugged the ground and retired to the right. A terrific howling and yelling was started by the savages, a sinister chorus that encompassed the road for some distance. Gage’s troops seemed to he confused by the fiendish clamor and the invisibility of the foe. The men staggered under the cruel tire, then rallied and began emptying their muskets in volleys. But there was nothing to shoot at except the slim French force ahead. Before they could fall back from the jaws of the trap. St Clair’s working force came up on the run to pile confusion on confusion. Cage felt the reinforcements behind him, and ordered his men to charge straight ahead and eliminate the Frenchmen. Tue head of his column was speedily wipeflout. and the rest were sadly staggered by the fierce fire. A gun was rushed up to support the pioneers, and at the third discharge of the piece, Beaujeu fell dead, dying gallantly as became a Chevalier of St. Louis. Captain Dumas took his place, and for a while the fighting was stubbornly maintained by both sides, with neither, apparently, securing any distinct advantage, but with the Eng lish sustaining heavy punishment General Braddock persisted tn sending heavy masses of men up the road, whereas he should have fallen back until he csould have cleared the woods on both«■ sides of the road. During this portion of the fight, the Onondaga and I shifted about and took turns tiring, and taking care that one of our rifles should be loaded at all times. On three different occasions we were charged by small bands of savages, but the second unexpected shot from behind the same tree always spoiled the attack and sent red man back to where the killing ■easier Then Braddock’s mechanical discipline began to give ground before the marksmanship of the enemy. We sealed our fate by remaining astraddle the ravine. Braddock, furious almost to the point of Incoherency, ipuslied Burton forward with the van guard, thus making the congestion worse; fqr the road was but twelve feet wide. Burton formed his troops under a unost galling tire and had just finished the difficult maneuver when Gage’s forces fell back rapidly to form behind him. Then occurred the definite shift in cur taring. We had been sustaining terrible punishment, the penalty of toeing caught in column, but we had the superiority of numbers to permit heavy losses. But now the two regl tuents became bad l ? mixed and stumbled about in the smoke-filled road like sheep. Thero was smoke every The woods were choked with it. the road was blotted out at times by it. Sheets of fire rippled along the very edges of the narrow way. The t§o regimental colors were advanced tn opposite directions. The officers Were being picked off at an alarming rate, and the regulars bad not been taught self-dependence. Some of the enemy's guns were thrust from the foliage into the very faces of the victims. There were many soldiers In that battle who did not see an Indian. Down the line they were delivering their tire at two hundred yards, thereby throwing it away. With the ancient forest closely hemming in the road, with no foe visible. the army was as helpless as a blind man. It has been repeatedly charged again Braddock that be had no flank ers out on the Wednesday afternoon of July ninth. Such statements are untrue. We bad flankers out a hundred yards or more on both sides of the army, but we did not scout far enough ahead of the army. There was no ambuscade, however. Once the fighting commenced, the flankers were shot down by the haphazard voleeys of our own artillery. How many Englishmen and provincials England killed that day will never be known, tout the French and their allies accounted for only a portion of our dead and wounded. As Round Paw and I fell back through the woods on the right of the road and risked death at every step from the tire of our own men, 1 caught a glimpse of General Braddock. His horse was down and he was striking a man with the flat of his sword to drive him from the shelter of a tree where the fellow had very sensibly taljen refuge. An aide supplied the commander with a fresh mount, just as young Washington. bare-beaded, his eyes blasting. reined In bls frantic horse and .. I f ..' W < '' - .

<t> loudly urged, “Get them out of this slaughter-pen I Into the woods!" “By G—d. I’m commander here, sir! They’ll tight here! We must advance!" roared the general, his heavy face suffused with anger. “You d—d sheep, close up! Close up there!’’ The last to a squad of men who were trying to tree themselves. And he was riding them down to get back into the road to be slaughtered like sheep. Sir Peter Halket, who with four hundred men was guarding the baggage train, came through the thick smoke and yelled a request that the men be ordered to find shelter. “Damnation !*’ thundered the general. “Did • lead his majesty’s regulars out here to hide from a parcel of naked red beggars? Advance) We must advance!" Then he was raging With the Ancient Forest Closely Hemming In the Road, With No Foe Visible, the Army Was as Helpless as a Blind Man. down on those delinquents, whose years of training were being swept aside by the instinct of self-preserva-tion. “Curse youl Get back there!’’ And the flat of his sword beat them soundly over head and shoulders. Washington wheeled, his horse bumping into Sir Peter’s mount, and either to that gentleman, or in apos trophe to the whole terrible situation, he cried: “By G—d! My Virginians shan’t be slaughtered!’ With that be was plunging through the smoke to the edge of the growth where Round Paw and 1, and some riflemen, were treeing ourselves. He shouted. “Captain Wag goner, tree yourself! Clear this side of the road!’’ Captain Waggoner raised bls band and penetrated deeper into the grow.th. Eighty men. all excellent rifle shots, streamed after him. The Onondaga and I kept abreast of the cap tain. He did not attempt to make his voice heard above the Infernal din, but pointed to the rising ground, on the brow of which extended a fallen tree that must have measured at the least five feet in diameter. Once be- ” hind that stout barricade I knew Waggoner’s men would soon clear that side of the road, and then could circle around the head of the army and drive the savages from the terrible ravine. Now we were In the trap: General Braddock’s solution was the only one. The army must advance. We tost three men by the enemy by gaining the hill; and then the crazy mob in the road poured a volley into our rear that killed fifty men! A few remained on the hill for safety’s sake. The rest took their luck below in the woods, striving to the outskirts of the enemy’s line. The Onondaga and I fell back, fighting from tree to tree and striving to reach the wagon train. The after noon was wea Ing away and from the triumphant howls of the French Indians we knew the army was prac tically surrounded. The Onondaga, glistening with sweat and ferocious for closer fighting, yelled in my ear: “They say we shall die like brave men!” 1 did not desire to be slaughtered *

Chinese Pirates Not Like Old Buccaneers

Although pirates are hardly less common than fishermen on some Chinese rivers, they differ from the pirates of popular juvenile fiction in that they are not particulaily bloodthirsty. In fact some of China’s best known government officials began life as bandits or pirates, and found it no detriment socially in after years. An incident illustrating something of the sort was told >n the Dearborn Independent by William E. Barton, who has traveled extensively in the Orient as follows: “Only a few months ago a steam launch belonging to a Canton Christian college, loaded with students, was captured and held for ransom. The ransom was not paid. The governor of the Island of Honan, on which the college is located, assured the college people that it was not wise to pay Trying to Help Mrs. Blank returned home one afternoon after consulting a physician with the announcement that she had been advised to reduce the amount of carbohydrates in her diet A few hours later the family assembleo for dinner prepared by the cook, when all at once Mrs. Blank looked up to see Mandy lifting some of the vegetables off the table. “Why, Mandy, what’s the matter. Don’t we get anything to eat?” some one asked the cook. “No. siree, you don’t get this. It’s got too many hydrophobias in it,” she answered quickly.

as the uselessly heroic never appeattt to me. But the Dinwold gin wa« cooped up inside the devilish circle and (here are certain things a man must always do. She was of my race and I was especially bound to find her. With the Onondaga the case was different He had a fair chance of winning clear of the terrible mistake, and 1 urged him to do so. He asked me if I would keep with him, and when 1 answered that I must find the witchwoman be whooped hoarsely and took the lead in a line that ran parallel to the blood-soaked road. We heard the drums sound the retreat and knew that. Braddock dead or had lost his haughty pride. We heard the firing down the line as the enemy attacked Halket’s men at the baggage-train, and from the lessening volume of the return fire we knew our losses must be tremendous, or else the ammunition was failing. At the time Braddock ordered the retreat to he sounded only a third of the army was left. We learned that much afterward. The smoke made It impossible to see clearly, and the individual combats between rangers and savages served to confuse further our sense of direction. I remember the Onondaga giving a mighty grunt as he crashed his ax through the head of a Huron who hunqted into us. I recall mechanically staving in another red skull with the butt of my loaded rifle. And then to my surprise both the Indian and 1 were tn the road, surrounded by the dead and dying, and those who fired blindly, and more often killed a friend than they wounded a foe. "These men are fools!" cried the Onondaga, dodging a blow from a musket swung by a madman. “The woods! The woods!” But now we were in the road it was most difficult to leave it without being shot in the back; yet to remain in the frenzied crowd meant death without a chance to strike back. We were only a short distance above the bag-gage-train. and toward it we began making our way. Guns were spurting flame from the bushes at our feet. The guards were pointing their mus kets high and firing thin volleys into the foliage. Once the retreat was sounded a panic had seized upon the survivors, and in a stumbling, insane rush those who could walk made a last attempt to reach the river. The howling Os the Indians Increased in volume as they realized the extent of their unexpected triumph. A few hours back the fort Indians had flatly refused to follow Beaujeu. and now they were lusting like demons to kill, kill, until not an Englishman was left alive. The savages, observing the mad fear now possessing the army, grew bolder and began to appear from behind rhe great trees, from under the grape and pea-vines, and through the tall grass. Gory hands darted out to seize some dead or dying man and drag him into the cover. The best equipped and proudest army England had ever sent to North America was a rabble of crazy men. Captain Orme of the regulars, and Captain Stewart of the Virginia riflemen. aided by another American officer I did not know, came through the mass bearing a heavy figure It was General Braddock and he was puffing for breath and was wounded through the chest ‘Braddock’s killed i Braddock’a killed!” was the despairthg cry raised as the commander was carried to the rear. “Rally the fools at the ford." j gasped the commander. “Braddock’s killed!” howled a drill sergeant, although he must have heard his general speak. And he danced up and down until red hands shot out from the bushes and caught him by the ankles and Jerked him from our sight. Colonel Washington now had all the riflemen fighting in the Indian ; fashion and only his maneuver saved the army from being annihilated. As it was. four hundred and fifty officers and men were dead, slain outright, and nearly as many more wounded. Out of eighty-nine commissioned officers sixty-three were silled or wounded; and not a field-officer nad escaped unhurt Lean Virginians from behind trees were shouting encouragement to one another and calling for the regulars to fall back out of the way and cross rtu- river. it was the first time out riflemen and England’s carefully drilled regulars had gone into battle together, and already the colonials were discovering they were better men for forest tight lug(TO BB CONTINUED.)

Clerical Sandwich A missionary to one of the islands where man-eating is still practiced was captured by n cannibal chief To his surprise he was offered his freedom on condition that he would carry a small packet to another chief tn the mountains. He agreed and he was so grateful to his captor that when on his way he met a detachment of marines, he declined to accompany them to safe territory. The sealed packet should be delivered as he had promised. But while one officer was arguing with him another quietly opened the packet. It contained a small quantity of onions with a note to the chief reading: “The bearer will be delicious with these.”—Boston Transcript.

Cattle Industry Now Recovering -A - , - • . I i

Stimulus to Increased Production Seen in Increased Feed Crops. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture, i A stimulus to increased production ■ of hogs, cattle and dairy animals is seen by the bureau of agricultural economics. United States Department of Agriculture, in the increased feed ' crops this year. Live stock producers. Including dairymen, cattlemen, hog and sheep * raisers, says the bureau in a report on the agricultural situation, are in relatively good shape, with the presumption that live stock prices and the prospective feed situation may stimulate increased production of animals. Cattlemen already are beginning to enlhrge their herds, the bureau reports. but some time is required to produce and raise steers, and to get heifer calves grown into milk cows. Meantime there is more or less widespread complaint among consumers over the increased prices of meat, particularly beef and veal. Meat Price Situation. The current meat price situation “is Inevitable.” says the bureau. “For six years, .beginning in 1920, the cattle industry was flat on its back, with western cattlemen going bankrupt on all sides and their stock almost without market value. It is doubtful if this country ever witnessed a more acute case of distress in its agricultural industries than this depression in cattle. “Slowly and painfully the cattle industry liquidated its surplus, reduced its breeding herds, and is recovering from its financial wounds. The consuming community was told again and again that the outcome would surely be a period of cattle scarcity and high prices. Now we are up against that period.” Abundant Feed Crops. Discussing the crop situation, the bureau says: “The feed crops are abundant, grain being decidedly more so than last year. Moreover, in spite of its late planting it made such rapid progress «during the summer as to be fairly well matured before the first frosts. The eastern corn belt, which had almost a failure of the crop last season, has ample corn this time, whereas the southern states are estimated to have about 14 per cent less corn than last year. “Oats are a decidedly heavier crop this season than last, the September 1 estimate indicating nearly 3(M),Otk).(MM> bushels more. This abundance of feed grains, coupled with a hay crop of

Tells Story of Year’s Work in Dollars and Cents. We used to have a good deal of fun at the expense of the book farmer. Some book farmers have the iaugh on « the rest of us, however. The boys who at the end of the year can turn to their farm account books and show the figures, black and white, which tell the financial story of the year’s work, accomplishments, profits and losses, are the ones who really know “where they are at.” The keeping of adequate farm accounts requires but a few hours’ work during the year. It is not half such a chore as it might seem. No piece of work during the year will give you so much return in satisfaction, in rbal information about your own business, in checks and bal ances on what you are doing with your time and energy.'as a simple but complete story in figures, in dollars and cents, in hours of work and yields of acres found in your farm account book, says the Illinois Farmer. | January is the best time to open such a book, if you do not already keep one. Farmers who do not are in the majority. Now you have time to take a simple inventory of what i you have and what 'you owe, and to ■ make tlie start toward farm bookkeep- ; ing. You don’t need to operate a set ■ of double entry books to have an adequate farm accounting system but you do need a better information file than your memory. Our state college of agriculture will give you ,all sorts of helpful suggestions for the asking, and most anyone can follow the simple rules laid down in any good farm account book. Once started, you will find a lot of interest in keeping up the entries and balancing your business at the end of the year. No other Prune Gooseberry Bush for Health and Yield Too little pruning done during the dormant season last fall was responsible for the poor yields from healthy gooseberry bushes, about which considerable complaint was made this past season,*according to‘ Dr. A. S ’t’olhy of the University of Illinois, (.rowers therefore should not hesitate to prune heavily in their small fruit plantations this fall, removing the oldest canes of currants and gooseberries and some of the strong as well as all of the weak canes of the brambles. The laterals also should be cut back about one-half on raspberry and blackberry bushes. A“This is the best time to prepare Ihe bush fruits and brambles for the winter. Pruning small fruits in the dormant season is generally recommended, partly because of the time available when other work is not so pressing. The earlier it is done the better, because insects, such as tree I crickets and cane borers, and diseases. like anthracnose, crown gall and cane blight are controlled more satisfactorily by early removal of infested wood.

Pests Worry and Kill Many Growing Pullets Among the difficulties encountered by poultry keepers in growing pullets are those raised by pests. It is most discouraging to, have a nice bunch of pullets about ready to lay killed by dogs, skunks or weasels, or stolen by i thieves. Strong wire, firmly nailed in place, will help greatly to keep out some of these pests. Wire cloth is even better than the regular poultry netting. It is a wise plan to close all doors, including small exit doors, at dusk after the pullets have all gone to roost. This means opening them the first thing in the morning so the birds can get the benefit of the early morning sun. While range houses or shelters are used that have the four sides made of wire, it is a good plan to have the floor made of wire cloth, about two meshes to the inch, so animals cannot get at the birds from this direction. Some poultrymen who raise a num- , her of pullets each year guard against theft by hiring a man to sleep in one of the range houses close by, armed with a shotgun, so he can be on hand if needed. They have found this good insurance. Fall Fertilizing Best Practice for Hay Land Why not apply a top dressing of phosphate or potash mixtures to hay lands this fall? Many farmers are finding it a practice that pays. New seedlings respond well to fall application or these mixtures, although in a general soil building program it is usually considered best to apply them in the spring at seeding, according to C. J. Chapman, of the soils department at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture. Chapman points out that this late application, which may be made any time between harvest and frost, has two distinct advantages. It stimulates fall growth and. at the same time, becomes more thoroughly incorporated with the surface soil in advance of the growing season.

business but farming would even try to get along without an accounting system, and. in fact, the farming business has not done so very well without it. 'Animals Susceptible to Anthrax Disease All farm animals, with the exception of poultry, are susceptible to anthrax and man himself is not exempt. There are districts where the germ is in the soil, and there always is danger. For reasons unknown, anthrax may be more prevalent one year than another. The germs are present in enormous numbers in all parts of the body of animals dying with the disease. All carcasses should be destroyed by burning or should be buried deeply without cutting Into them. Sudden deaths among live stock in anthrax districts always should prompt the suspicion that this disease w«s the cause. Vaccination usually is a successful means of prevention. — | Around the Farm I <s> A cow must have three quarts of water for every quart of milk she produces. : 'S . The good live-stock farmer shelters properly his family and his animals. Both should be comfortable at ail times. •• • & More beef breeding herds on corn belt farms, will result in a more profit- : able and permanent type of agricul- . ture than is now found. A thorough cleaning of the house and its interior fixtures is essential. Some good coal tar dip can be used effectively in this connection. • • • No matter whether hog cholera Is known to exist or not. the farmer who raises hogs must always presume that there is a possibility of an outbreak. • . . The construction ot expensive, elab- ; orate poultry houses Is not encouraged. but on the other hand, no farmer ■ should construct a poultry house that is not durable and comfortable. Light and ventilation are two essentials for * contented hens and high egg protjjtrtion. There should be plenty of window space in the front ■ of the house, so that the sunlight will , strike all corners of the tloor. Prior to lambing the ewe should be placed in a small pen and left there until the lamb is quite strong.
