The Red Road A Romance of Braddock’s Defeat

— — 4 CHAPTER I —l—- — the Red Road * The home town looked the same as when I last made for Shooter s Hill, fleeing from the ignominy of being little better than a pauper. it was two years since 1 had been in Virginia, and there were certain outstanding debts which made it embarrassing for me to return. While the fairs were being held In May and October, all persons coming to Alexandria would be exempt from arrests and executions. And it was not yet Maytime, and 1 was back with out road belts, as my red friend, the Onondaga, would style immunity from annoyance. I risked great humiliation, but there are certain things a man must do despite his pride; and I had returned because something larger than my persona! welfare was concerned. However, 1 consoled myself with remembering that much mountain water had flowed down the Potomac since my hasty departure, and that all the colonies were in the midst of stirring times; that the extravagances of Web ster Brond would be forgotten now we were at the throat of France once more. The coming tn of many strangers permitted me to remain unnoticed. So It was that my long leggings, my fringed- hunting-shirt with its broad cape, my moccasins and long rifle, my ax beside the hunting-knife in my embroidered belt, gave me assurance against recognition until 1 should reveal my identity when I delivered my news to Governor Dinwiddie. It was not from choice that I had left my Onondaga comrade over the mountains and come to town, although the old false pride which had prompted my flight had been washed out by much rough faring and many 8 desperate plight. It was love for the colony that had drawn me back. I came fresh from Fort Duquesne and Shanoppin, from the distant Ohio country where the English were but little known, and where the names of Drouillon, Laforce, de Villiers, Jumonville, and others of the French, already were so many war cries among the Indians along the Monongahela and the Allegheny. Throughout the hurried Journey back to Alexandria, 1 had told myself the past was dead, that “Black” Broffd. the forest-runner, was entirely apart from young Webster Brond who had taken such pride in scrawling in his Cheever’s Latin Accidence bis name with “Gent.” affixed. And now that I was crossing the market-square and was in time to see the Northern Mail, just arrived from Richmond, draw up before the Royal George before continuing its lumbering journey over the king’s post-road to the north, I felt the cal! of my ancestry ami turned my steps to the house which my father s love for hospitality and good cheer had lost to me. along with many rich acres. Some families are unfortunate ’n coats-of-arms and motoes. My people had been inflicted with the family device of an outstretched open hand. My father by nature was congenial and convivial, prodigal with good cheer. He had only neede'd the appellation “Brond of the open hand” to complete his impoverishment. So many times had I seen him set forth to dispose of his crops; so many times had I greeted him on his return with only a trifle left of the season’s planting! And so many times did 1 puff up with pride when he explained his light pockets by saying: “It’s a duty we owe the name, lad. We will plant more, but we will never be niggardly.” I thank God he passed out before the crash came, that he never tasted the bitterness, and that it could be 1 who was forced to escape petty prosecutions by flight into the wilderness. It would have broken his kind heart could he have known my estrangement from my fellows. It helped me much to find the place deserted. To have seen others there where my father kept open house, would have grieved me sorely. I sent

my love through the paneled door and passed around to the high gate and looked Into the garden. Like the house, it showed the lack of human occupancy. The place was a riot of untrained growth where once orderliness and beauty had graced the winding paths. All that was left to remind me of the golden yesterdays was the aroma of the snowy cherry blossoms. Voices close by aroused me and 1 turned from the gate. Despite my rough schooling from Lake Erie down to the Falls of the Ohio, my heart went pit-a-patting, just as it had when I wrote her name in my school books. The fellow with her had been my boon companion. His powdered wig and beruffled shirt, his knee-breeches, gold buckles and silken hose put my travel-stained garb to shame, and 1 was for turning back to the gate. But I saw a hint of amusement in their curious glances; and, conquering my weakness, 1 swept off my ragged fur hat with an almost forgotten grace and called myself more vividly to their attention. Busby stared haughtily, as if 1 were some freakish creature from the unknown wilds. The girl frowned in perplexity; then she recognized me despite my forest dress, and exclaimed: “Webster Brond!” Busby stared blankly for a moment, then smiled broadly and cried: “Curse rne If it isn’t 1 Brond of the open hand 1 Where did you come from? And when did you get back? And why do you wear that Indian toggery? “Hush!’’ murmured the girl. 1 affected not to hear her, nor to wince under the old title, and explained : “I oring news for his excellency, the governor. 1 am waiting for aim

Her fair face flushed, and she softly cried: “You’ve been to Fort Duquesne. Webster? How romantic! Our Gen eral Braddock will soon be there. Os course you will march with him.” “I shall be glad to serve as a scout.” For I was in no way inclined to sbmit myself to stiff-necked dis clpline. "Then I may see you along the road. Web. I ride with him." said Busby; and with that touch of superiority he ever wore even as a little chap. Often had 1 laughed at his patronizing ways, and often had I forgiven him. Mayhap he caught a reminiscent . ‘ ftW w 'ft? Oil I “Joe and I Are to Be Married, Web ster. After General Braddock Has Finished His Little Business at Fort Duquesne." twinkle in my eye; perhaps he thought I was staring too long and intently at his dainty companion, for he abruptly informed me: “Joe and 1 are to be married, Web ster, after General Braddock has fin ished his little business at Fort Duquesne.” I smiled and went through the form of congratulating them, but there was a stab in my heart. Not that I had expected to carry a girl’s love in my breast during two years of roughing it —and yet 1 had hoped. She was crimson and angry. “You should not talk that way,” she coldly admonished Busby. “I am natural. You’re artificial, Josephine,” he lightly bantered I said: "Surely you feel no foolish delicacy in letting an old friend know of your happiness. Forsooth, I’d have to know now, or not at all. This Is my good-by to Alexandria.” At once she was Josephine, the girl 1 bad known. And witli wistful ness she deplored: “I don’t like that word ’good by. It’s the saddest of all words. 1 think. Everything was so peaceful and happy. And now it’s war and soldiers, and all our men eager to march against the French. God give them safe return 1” Could we have but known! Could we have but foreseen the outcome of the next few weeks! Mistress Josephine made me a little curtsy as a signal for her companion to be moving. Busby was inclined to shade bands and instinctively obeyed bis English blood by starting to do so, then contented himself with a ceremonious bow. The little lady saw everything and with impulsive frank

Writer’s Fine Tribute to Forest Patriarch

I watched some time ago the cuting down of an oak. It was a huge tree, an old patriarch among the trees in the neighborhood the kind and size of a tree that is regarded with a sort of attachment by friends and strangers. In the lives of those along the road it \ as a landmark. It wore its rusty robes with an air of majesty. It possessed a distinguished appearance on account of age. and to look at it was to be aware of something ancient The Indian stepped with moccasin feet the paths when it was in infancy, and its last years saw the automobile, airplane, the magic things of a modern world. It went through much in the lease of life; it weathered everything, as an oak should do; but it had to surrender before the assault of a v^ry small but numerous enemy—the leopard moth. It fought as a giant fights —bravely. It lost courageously and Harvesting Almonds But few people realize the trouble taken in the cultivation of almonds. They are the most important crop of the island of Majorca, where many varieties are cultivated, and the industry is so prosperous that as old olive trees die they are replaced by almonds. When the almonds are almost ripe they are knocked off the branches by long bamboo poles and then picked up by women and children. The nuts are separated from the husks after drying, and the shells are then broken by hand or machinery and the kernels extracted.

I ness, which ever characterized her kind heart, she advanced us Busby fell back. Seizing my hand for a brief moment she softly murmured: “We were very young. 1 did no’ know. Look out for him on the march.” And with another hurried little curtsy sle was walking out of my life, wit! Busby mumbling and mut- | tering in her small ear—possibly ask- 1 ing to be told what confidences she had imp: rttd to me. I silently said farewell to the house of the open hand and turned back to the market-square. I Lave said the town was the same; and so it was so far as the yellow, white and red chimneys were con- i cerned, for here was the same proportion of slim and fat ones. But It was in physical aspect alone that the town remained unchanged, for the life of the streets was vastly different. There were cannon along the wharf, and there were cannon hauled up to the post-road. There was a frantic passing back and forth of a new population. As I loitered before the Royal George, 1 was crowded and jostled -udely by a great bustling of people. At Gadsby’s across the way—built three years before by Lord Fairfax from English bricks—was the same lively animation. Squads of soldiers in scarlet coats —scarle,. for an Indian campaign when the forest was all a lush green—were being maneuvered about the square under the hoarse guidance of veteran sergeants. The long rifle I was leaning upon — made by William Henry of Lancaster, soon to be Braddock’s armorer—was In decided contrast to the Brown Bess carried by the overseas soldiery Surely litis was the finest army England had ever sent across the Atlantic, and most surely there was nothing at i Duquesne to prevent the capture of the French fort. And yet experience was teaching us of the colonies that the English musket was not an effective weapon in the deep woods. These soldiers of Braddock's. so ; confident of overrunning the heads of the Ohio, were not taught to aim their weapons, but to point them In the general direction of the enemy and to discharge ’hem in volleys We ol the woods considered every tinman target we fired nt to he a distinct , problem; and Gori knows the tai get ! was small enough when consisting of j Huron, or any of the Far Indians, or j even the French who had campaigned with the red savages. There was a rattle of wheels. It was General Braddock. riding in the . coach lie had bought of Governor Sharpe of Maryland 1 barely glimpsed him. n heavy stolid num, whose strong visage seemed to lower on the gaping on Inkers. Then he was gone, comman der in chief ot all his majesty's forces in North America. He impressed me as being self willed and self dep< n dent, and one who would he Intoler 1 ant of any advice. It was commonly known that he was displeased at the ; manner in which the campaign was ’ progressing—rather, failing to pro J gress. The capture of Fort Duquesne i was not bothering him, but to get his . army under way was proving to be a most imitating problem. Nor could > one blame him for the needless de lays, the lack of funds, the wrangling ! between the colonies. But we all knew how General Braddock had failed to comprehend ! local conditions. He seemed unable to grasp the fact, which we of America ' all knew—namely, that the great ; mass of Pennsylvania citizens was opposed to any system of taxation ! that did not include the proprietaries; I and that the Quakers were averse to ; voting any money for military pur- ; poses. He only knew that promised I supplies were lacking, that recruits were coming in very slowly, and that the Indians thus far had not joined his army. More than once he had complained to the assembled governors that he was “unable to express his indignation.” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

gamely, as a man loses when overwhelmed with superior numbers. It battled to the end. It seems a ruthless act to cut down a tree. It is the taking of life itself. Such a tree enters the very lives of those who dwell in its shadows, and it is a part of their histories. And the more we know of such trees the more are we convinced they have a soul, a personality.—Edwin C. Hobson, in the Boston Globe. Ring Fingers For many centuries wedding rings were worn on the thumb, and even as late as the reign of George I it was the rule for brides, although the wed- 1 ding ring was placed on the finger now customary, to remove it, after the ceremony to the thumb. Ecclesiastical admonitions, however, had the effect of bringing that somewhat queer custom to an end. It is a pretty belief, but incorrect, that the fourth finger of the left hand was chosen for the ring finger because from that a vein ran directly to the heart. The choice was for practical reasons—to save the ring from unnecessary usage. That also is the reason for the ring being worn on the left hand.

GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto death and 1 will give thee a crown of lite. I PRIMARY TOPlC—Saul’s Cruelty to 1 Christian People. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Sau) Persecuted Stephen and Others. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Is Conscience a Sate Guide? YOUNG PEOPLE AND A DUET TOPlC—Stephen’s Influence on Saul. I. Saul’s Training (22:3, 4; 25:4, 5, : 1)11. i 1. Taught to love his own nation (v. 3). He declared, "I am a Jew.” Saul was a strict Pharisee. The Pharisees were the nationalists of their day Be ing a strict Pharisee he was therefore a patriot Those who are intelligently loyal to their own nation can most effectively help others. 2. Taught to love God’s law (v. 3). “Taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers” Love for the Bible is a valuable asset in life. To be destitute of love and reverence for God’s Word Is to be out on life’s ocean without chart or com--1 pass. 3. He was zealous toward God (v. 3 His heart and soul went out toward God with great enthusiasm. The root meaning of the word “zealous” is “to boll." It means a passion for God and His work. It was zeal for God that made Saul think of and plan for His work. 11. Saul Hears the Voice of Jesus (Acts 22:9, 10).* It was while on his way to Damascus with authority to arrest and Im- j prison Christ’s disciples that he j heard a voice from heaven saying. | “Why persecutes! thou Me?” It was this sight of the living Christ that wrought the change in Saul. 111. Saul Thoroughly Conscientious (Acts 26:9, fb). In his conscientiousness he opposed J. ‘sus, tor he regarded Him as an Imi postor. Saul Is to be commended in I 1 i that he responded to his conscience, I but he is condemned for his attitude ! I toward Jesus. Conscience Is the law I of life for every man. but It needs to be regulated by God’s Word. I IV. Stephen’s History (6:1-15). In order to understand the signitl- i 1 canre of Stephen’s martyrdom, a syn--1 ihetic view should be obtained of his | life. 1. Chosen as a deacon (6:1-7). He was one of the seven men appointed ■ to look after the temporalities of the i ch urch. 2. Why Stephen was opposed (6:8-15). in his work of charity lie testified of Jesus Christ and by rhe Holy Spirit wrought r iracles. These mighty deeds aroused Die people. The following .eatures characterized him: (1) Wisdom. He was a man of com- ; mon sense. (2) Grace. He had a beau- , tiful character. (3) Power. He had the ability to do wonders and great ; signs, and he spake the truth es- I , feetivei The men who opposed him were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which be spake, i Not being aide to withstand him, they j arrested and brought him before the ! great com eil. Even here they could not silence him by argument, so they j decided to do it by violence. V. Stephen’s Martyrdom (7:54-60). Stephen made a magnificent defense ■ before the council. This be did by I tracing the history of Israel from tbe call of Abraham to the crucifixion of ! Christ His aim was to show that God had never been localized and that the temple was but a small part of God’s plan. He did not speak against the temple, but showed that God did net in the full sense dwell in it at any time. This contention he proved from Scripture (Isa. 61:1, 2; I Kings 8:27). In his conclusion he declared that the Jews had always resisted the Holy Spirit. Now their stubbornness had reached its culmination in the betrayal, rejection and murder of the Son of God. This charge cut to the heart His arguments were unanswerable. In this hour of trial God gave him a wonderful vision. He was permitted to look into heaven itself where he beheld the glorified Son of man standing at the right hand of God. VI. Saul Consenting Unto Stephen’s Death (8:1-3). The very ringleader in this persecution was Saul. Stephen’s death Is described as falling asleep. Devout men buried him, making great lamentation over him. In the Mind of Christ From my own understanding and apprehension 1 find first in the mind of Christ the consciousness of the beauty of holiness. I find secondly the consciousness of the worth and value of lost and degraded things. I find finally the consciousness of the glory of realizing the possibility of all lost things. These are the cardinal elements in the mind of Christ; elements mastering all his apprehensions, inspiring 4tll his emotional life, the reason for all ills volitional activity.— G. Campbell Morgan. Prayer To pray is the greatest tiling we can do; and to do it well there must be calmness, time and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the littlest and meanest of tilings. True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying. We cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the work of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer.—E. M. Bounds. Prayer More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.—Tennysou.

DAME FASHION MATCHMAKER; RAYON PRINTS FOR SUMMER

F\AME FASHION Is proving to be a very successful matchmaker. She is arranging at present especially interesting matches between hats and parasols, or, wl.en fancy dictates, she relates the hat to the blouse, or perhaps it is a hat, belt and bag which are ensembled. Most popular of all Is the hat and scarf of matching material, or at least these adopt the same color scheme or decorative motifs. Now that the mode insists upon the costume presenting a unified scheme

of color and design from top to toe, ; stylists are not only employing every I fabric medium, but they are encour- ; aged to call Into play every form of । cunning handcraft. Hand painting is especially contribI uting its share of beauty and interest to the new ensembles and in most unique and unexpected ways. For instance. a navy and white polka dot frock is topped with a navy felt hat which is painted in white dots duplicating in appearance those of the silk of which the dress is made. Then ! again a summery dress of colorful print has a parasol with it of the same material. The accompanying large floppy hair picture hat is painted in flowers identical to those shown in the silk for the dress and the sunshade. The chapeau with a scarf painted in matching motifs is also a pridefut achievement of creative genius. Embroidery is another just as fetching means of relating hat to scarf. The : de luxe set shown to the right in the picture is fashioned of black taffeta, with highly colorful and exquisitely wrought solid chain stitch embroidery. In this procedure of fashion’s matchmaking gay silk prints are playing a stellar role. A parasol of lively

silk print with a hat to match, as shown in the picture, expresses utmost chic. Other combinations of print silks include soft, flexible sports hats heavily stitched, to complement oblong or square scarfs, or if not squares then triangles of the silk. Up-to-the-minute matching hats and scarfs are made of vivid striped silks, or striking polka dot weaves, for stripes and dots are “the rage” this season.

here uses for its medium a stunning surah silk whose stripes are in bold Spanish colorings. By the way, have you heard that surah silk is again in fashion? Well, it is. The lovely new rayon weaves such as have so conspicuously entered into the fabric realm are creating quite a sensation in the fashionable world. 1 hey are not only supremely attractive, but their adaptability and the wide variety they offer, have gained for them emphatic approval. it should be remembered that rayon

is in no sense an imitation of silk. It is not an imitation of anything. It is an entirely new production. It stands on its own merits, having an individuality ail its own, being the rest t of modern invention which has achieved for it certain qualities not possessed by any other material. The fact that the best designers both here and abroad are creating of rayon crepe, rayon voiles, rayon taffeta and rayon lace, costumes for every fashionable hour, adds to the prestige of these interesting new weaves. To illustrate, this picture shows a strictly sports costume and a charming dressy afternoon frock and they are both rayon. For the summertime dress to the right the stylist uses a handsome rayon voile, which is as exquisitely textured as the finest sheerest silk chiffon. The remarkable thing about rayon voile is that it launders perfectly. That is one of the fascinating features of rayons in general, even those which have the aspect of expensive satin or brocades can be tubbed without fear of injuring them. Kayon crepe, a plain color for the skirt, with a gorgeous print for the blouse, is the chosen medium for the two-piece sport® costume shown to
