SYNOPSIS Impoverished by the openhanded generosity of his father, Virginia gentleman, young Webster 3rond is serving as a scout and spy for the army under General Braddock preparing for the advance on Fort Duquesne. He has just returned to Alexandria from a visit to the fort, where, posing as a Frenchman, he has secured valuable Information. Braddock, bred to European warfare, fails to realize the importance of the news. Brond Is sent back to Fort Duquesne, also bearing a message to George Croghan. Enlish emissary among the Indians. Brond joins his friend and fellow scout. Round Paw, Indian chief, and they set out. On the way they fall In with a typical backwoodsman, Balsar Cromit, who joins them. The party encounters a group of settlers ‘hieatening a young girl, Elsie Ditiwold, whom they accuse of witchcraft. CHAPTER I!—Continued “There are two or three men tn this valley and as many more in Little Cove who will not work. They pretend to he witch-masters, and they get their keep hy pretending to undo the mischief the Dinwold women were said to do. After my mother’s death, and after they named this place ’Der Hexenkopf’ my sisters would not live here. They knew men were drawing our pictures on stumps and shooting them with silver bullets; and they went away, and only I was left. Those fools down there burn marks on their dogs and cattle to cure them of my spells. Every time a worthless Scamp strips an udder they say I milked their cows. God help those who must live among fools!” I had let her talk herself out, and now said: “This valley isn’t safe for you. Isn’t there any place where you can go? Back to Carlisle, Philadelphia, or to some Maryland town?” “It isn’t easy to travel with a helpless man,” she fiercely reminded me 1 glanced at the cripple. He did not seem to be hearing our talk, hut his face was flushed and his breathing more rapid. “Get your uncle inside.” I whispered to the girl. “He’s unwell. The excitement has upset him.” She put her arms around him. and petted him, and murmured things I could not hear, and aided him to enter the cabin. The people down rhe hill noted her disappearance and began advancing up the slope. Calling to the Oonodaga in English 1 directed: “Scalp the German and the redfaced man if they do not fall back." In his own tongue 1 added: “Scare those fools away.” Round Paw threw aside his blanket and glided toward the oncoming settlers. Cromit flourished his big knife and kept at the Indian’s side. The latter sounded his war-whoop and charged. The unarmed settlers gave way in a panic and raced back to their cabins. “Elsie Dinwold, you must get away from this valley. Once we’re gone there’ll be no one to protect you. Your uncle must risk it. He will surely die if he stays here." “I’ll get a horse and get him out of the Cove if it kills him. 1 never saw him like this before. We have three cows and two oxen. No one here will pay what they are worth. Will Brad dock’s army buy them?” “Gladly. Fresh beef will be needed at Will’s creek. But you can’t drive them there, and my business won t let me do it. There must he some one in the Cove who will buy them at a fair price. I’ll send the man Cromit up here to get them and find a buyer. He’s as shrewd as he is red-headed. He’ll drive a good bargain. Now let me see your uncle.” He was on nis bed. breathing rapidly and hiccuping at intervals. My experience with death had been largely confined to men dying from mortal wounds, but 1 knew that this man was about to enter a longer and deeper valley than that of Great cove. I patted the girl’s bowed bead and promised she should not be disturbed. She knew the truth, for she followed me to the door and whispered: “He must die.” “I fear he Is dying now,” I told her “1 will stay with you.” “No!” There was a flash of fierceness in her refusal. More gently she added: “We’ve been without kindness a long time. We’ll bide the rest of the way together and alone. Please go now.” 1 descended the hill to where Cromit and the Indian were awaiting the settlers' return. Men were hurrying up with axes and muskets, eager to sooth the sting their pride had received. 1 went to them and announced that Dinwold was dying and that the young woman would leave the valley very soon, and that her departure would be hastened could she find some one to buy her cattle. My words sobered them and took the edge from their anger. A man said: “If she will swear on the Holy Book that they are not bewitched, I’ll take them off her hands.” "We three men will drive them to Braddock’s camp, or will sell them here. We can get more for them on Will’s creek. The man Cromit of McDowell’s mill will make the trade if you care to buy.” N “Bewitched, or bedeviled, 1 care not. I'M >uy them and cure them and then

sell them to Braddock. Let the .young man stop showing his claws and his teeth and we can make a trade.” Much pleased at the outcome of what had threatened to he a serious affair, 1 returned to Cromit and gov’t! him his Instructions. 1 told him the Indian and 1 would spread our blankets In the path south of the hill and for him to take the money to the cabin, If he made a fair bargain, and then come to us. In less than an hour Cromit came through the darkness to us and announced : “She’s got the money and says 1 ■ made a good bargain. But the man. her uncle, will never see the stars again in this mortal land. There's' the death-mark on him.” We slept for several hours and it must have been close to midnight when the report of a flintlock brought us to our feet. Believing the girl was in trouble 1 called on my companions to follow me. W fl “It Isn’t Easy to Travel With a Helpless Man,” She Fiercely Reminded Me. Cromit ran at my side. Behind us came the Onondaga, softly humming: “Ha-hum-weh. Ha-hum-weh —1 belong to the Wolf clan. I belong to Hie Wolf clan.” He chanted it over and over as we mounted the hill and only became silent when the girl confronted us. a vague slim figure in the night In a faint voice she said : “He is dead. My good uncle is dead. He died in hie sleep. His kind heart was very weak.” She did not weep but kept repeating that he had died in his sleep. The Onondaga would not enter the cabin, but Cromit and 1 wrapped the dead man in a blanket and dug a grave some distance from the cabin, the girl holding a pine torch so that we might see. When we had finished and had retired she threw herself on the grave and wept a little. Then she came to us and said: “I leave this place this night. Those people down there killed him. 1 leave this place this night-” “Then you must go to McDowell’s mill, and from there start for the Eastern settlements. We will go with you as far as the mill. Later we will plan just how and where you are to travel. I can give you a letter to Charles Swaine at Shippensburg, and I know he will be pleased to serve you.”

Reason for Webster’s Preference for Blue

Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth ' college in a homespun suit, of which ; probably every thread was earned, ■ spun and woven by his mother’s hands from the wool of their own sheep, j It was a dyed-in-the-wool suit and the color was indigo blue. In the South butternut was used, but though the Yankee dames knew all about the uses of butternut bark, and the slate color that lay in the sumach berries and bark of white maple, and were not unacquainted with the various dyes that could be. made to yield through the agency of vitriol and alum and copperas to “set” them fast, the universal stand-! by In New England was the dye pot; par excellence, that stood in the chimney corner of every kitchen in that region. So Webster was fitted out in indigo blue from collar to ankle. Before reaching Hanover there came on a drenching rain. The suit held its own, Stone Bathtubs In Mexico and many of the Central American countries where the tropical heat makes the water in city mains too warm for pleasant bathing thp people use a plan adopted hundreds of years ago in those regions. Bathtubs are cut from solid rock near a natural spring of pure water, or fed by a stream, through bamboo pipes. These stone baths are near the homgs of most of the wealthy citizens, and all hotels have them attached to their buildings. Travelers from Northern countries find these cool baths very refreshing.

“Wait till 1 get a bundle from the cabin and 1 will go with you, mister. God knows there are those at McDoweli’s mill who will not be glad to see anyone from Der Hexenkopf. Yet 1 will go there because you have been good to me; Wait for me at the foot of the hill.” She was so long In the cabin that I started hack to find her, but she had vanished, in vain did we beat about the woods and call her name. “She Is a witch. She rides through the air,” muttered Round Paw as we took the southern path. A shrill cry caused us to halt. The Widow Cox was coming after us, waving Something in her hand. *1 found this after you a called. It had been left at my door and the wind must ’a’ blown it one side.” It was a small piece of dressed deerskin. On one side with a charred stick was written: "For bradoks scout if he asks For Elsie Dinwold.” Amazed 1 turned It over and read: “I told You 1 wud Go to makdowls mill I didn’t say Youd see me Thar. E. D.” CHAPTER HI On Braddock’s Business We commenced our journey to Will's creek, with (he Onondaga leading the way and his watchful suspicious gaze swinging from side to side of the narrow path as alertly as if we had been In the Huron country. After traveling a short distance the Onondaga halted and dropja’d on his knees. He had found eight bark spoons. Holding them up he add: “So many Indians stopped here to eat this morning. They are our nephews, the Leni-Lenape. They are some of the men Croghan has been hunting for. They have traveled east to see the Big Knives on the path. Now they go to Will's creek to be there when the Big Chief comes with his warriors.” If his reasoning were correct, the Delawares had Journeyed east until they beheld Braddock’s army on the march; and by the same token our campaign against the Fremh would soon take us to Duquesne. 1 Kas keen to press on. We made Will's creek early on the n|nth of May and were surprised to find none of the army there except Rutherford’s ami Clark's Independent companies on toot, ordered to the creek from New York In the preced Ing summer; and Demarie s Independent company from Maryland I on the creek tn huts and w >re mighty weary of the monotony of ft all. We were quickly surrounded by an eager riiob ami plle|l with questions ns to i Braddock’s whereabouts, when he would arrive, and how large an army he would bring. Had the French already’ abandoned Duquesne, as had been reported by some of the Delaware scouts? 1 And If so, why tie devil were his majesty's independent Companies being held In Idleness at ■ fun? Mr. Croghan came into camp a few hours after our arrival, and 1 delivered Governor Morris' letter. After reading it, he told me; “The belts were sent on the twentySecond of last month. 1 fear we'll get scant help from the lake tribes. Many of the Indians are waiting to see who’s to v’jn. They'll flock in to join the winner. It's lucky we have the French whipped already, for the slow work of getting the army here had made me uneasy. “If a thousand men, or even less, could now march swiftly to Duquesne, the place would be ours without any lighting. The Indians have taken hold of the French ax. but they'll drop it lif the French quit Duquesne. The assembly hurt us when m refused to feed my three hundred Iroquois. After keeping them all winter, they ! should have held on for a few weeks ' longer. Now the three hundred are back with the French. I have forty lighting men here, and sixty women and children. They’ve taken up the hatchet against the French. But. if they ain’t handled right, they’ll acI cept a bloody belt from Duquesne. “General Braddock hasn’t any notion of handling red men. Dinwiddie or Morris should have looked after that part of the business. But we'll lick the French easy enough. They’re licked already. Worst is we’ll have to smooth some of the Indians down after the French are back in Canada.” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

but it parted with enough dye to tinge Daniel blue from head to foot. Webster had a liberal stratum of sentiment in his mental make-up, and for some reason the color of ids young manhood remained his favorite wear through life. He wore blue coats to his dying day. If any one ever saw him in one of a different color the fact has not been made of record. Happier Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that our youngest days are our happiest. What miserable augury for the progress of the race and the destination of the individual, if the more matured and enlightened state is the less happy one! ... All this to prove that we are happier than when we were seven years old, and that we shall be happier when we are forty than we are now, which I call a comfortable doctrine, and one worth trying to believe! —From “The Letters of George Eliot,” Selected by R.

I’lils difficulty was a most serious one, for it threatened the disruption of the church into Jewish and Gentile divisions. It was not a question of tlie admission of the Gentiles into the church. That had been settled some years before when Peter ei ceived Cornelius and his household. The question now was, on what ! ground can they be received? Should Gentile converts be required to keep tlie Mosaic law as a condition of salvation? Tills issue was brought on by tlie coming of certain men from i Jerusalem, who declared, "Except ye be circumcise>i after the manner ^f Moses, ye cannot bl* saved (v. 1).” Tlie question was so difficult that Pa il and Barnabas were ui able to put them to sdence. Timse Jewish legalists had the letter of the Scripture on their side. They could point to tlie command where this was enjoined upor believers (Gen. 17:14). Paul could not point to any Scripture where it -nd been abrogated If Paul could plead that Abraham was Justified before tie was circumcised, his ; antagonists could answer. “Yes. but after Jusiltication the rite was divinely Imposed” The brethren at Antioch deciiled to refer (he matter to the church at Jerusa.em. Accordingly, Pau! and Barnabas and others were sent ns a deputation ’o Jerusalem. | <>n the way they pi — | through 1,1 '1 S ' : ' ’ !he news of the conversion of (he Gentiles. whirl received with ll.mb Joy.

The argument of James (vv 1421). lie took the fact declared bv Pefet mid showed how it harmonized with (he prophecy of Amos (Amos 9:11-15). He showed that the reception of the Gentiles was not in conflict but in strict harmony with Cods plan As set forth in Janies’ speech, God's plan is as follows: (1) To take out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v. 1-1). Ihis is what is now going on, the preaching of the gospel to the ends of the earth, and the calling out of the church. (2) After tiie church Is completed and removed, the Israelltlsh nation will be collected mid r< stored to their land and privileges by the Lord Himself at His return (vv. 1(J, 17). (3) Following this will he the conversion of tha world through the agency of converted Israel (v. 17, jf. Rom. 11:15). He showed that there is no conflict when the Scriptures are rightly divided. His Judgment was । that rhe Gentiles should not be trouI bled with things tiiat are Jewish, but should be warned to “abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.” 111. The Decision (vv. 22-211). The Jerusalem church came to a unanimous agreement and accepted tlie resolution offered by James. They not only sent a letter stating the decision oi the conference, but took the wise precaution of sending influential , men along with Paul and Barnabas to bear tlie same testimony by word of mouth. Tin’s letter denied the authority of the Judaizing teachers (v. 24), and declared the method by which this decision had been reached (vv. 25-27). The Holy Spirit was to be given first place, and the Gentile believers were instructed to abstain from meats offered to idols, from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. IV. The Decision Delivered to the Church (vv. 30-35) The church was called together to ■ hear tlie report Its reading brought ! ; great rejoicing. They were now free ■ to prosecute the great missionary work. The Minister’s Duty j Tlie minister in feeding his flock , should exercise care that tlie food is properly seasoned.

SATIN FOR DAY AND EVENING; WIDE DIVERSITY IN MILLINERY

A RE “they going to wear” satin again this tall? “They” most decidedly are. It promises to be very much of a satin season. Not only will satin assert itself in the afternoon mode, but, according to fashion’s foreword, satin is to have a very special vogue for evening. Black of course, and lots of it, but the new note is the advent of fascinating dark colors, especially handsome greens, and blues and that which Is the last word — dark brown. There Is going to be quite a conflict waged between the new colors and black.
