E The i' i Red Road 3 ► 3 ► A Romance o! ► Braddock’s Defeat E * 3 £ By Hugh Pendexter ◄ niaatrationa by ' ► Irwin Myers Uaaaaaaaaaaaa^^^ Copyright bv Hugh Pendexter. WNU Service SYNOPSIS Webster Brond is serving as a scout and spy for the army under General Braddock pre-paring for the advance dn 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 Du quesne, also bearing a message to George Croghan, English emissary among the Indians. Brond Joints his friend and fellow scout. Round Paw, Indian chief, and they set out. On the way they fall tn W’ith a typical backwoodsman, Balsar Cromit who joins them. The party encounters a group of settlers threatening a young girl, Elsie Dinwold whom they accuse ot witchcraft. Brond saves her from them. The girl disappears. Webster delivers his message to Croghan. Young Col. George Washington rescues Brond from bullying English soldiers. He worsts a bully in a fight, and finds Elsie Dinwold. Brond is sent on a scouting expedition to Fort Duqesne, and encounters a band of Braddock’s scouts. Later Brond and his companions find a French scouting party besieging an old cabin. CHAPTER IV—Continued —ll—- — I could outguess him, he was up to one of his tricks. Suddenly ceasing his resistance he flopped on his back and carried me with him but managed to escape the grip of my legs* and draw up his knees. Then with a violent thrust of his arms and a surge of his legs he sent me flying over his head. “Put a spell on him! Witch him I” screamed (’romit’s voice. I leaped erect and whirled and set mystlf to meet the next onset. The force of my fall blurred my vision for a moment, and the Frenchman might have bad me had he not paused to jerk a pistol from his belt- He risked all on a bullet, and the weapon missed tire. I ducked the flying pistol and leaped upon him, incited to greater effort by the stinging bump on the top ol my head. We trashed together end bugged and tugged like two bears I picked him up bodily and hurled him against the logs and he fell to the floor as limp as a sack of meal. But I would have no more tricks, and when be struck 1 was upon him again. 1 remember hearing a shrill cry, but there was no time to calm the girl. 1 mauled the Frenchman about for some seconds before I discovered be was inert and offering no resistance. As 1 drew back, thinking I had broken his neck, I was conscious of Cromit putting and lamenting: “Plumb forgot you wanted the rogue alive.” Aly man had no more tight in him and 1 took time to glance at my friend. He was leaning against the wall and mopping back his bristling hair with hands that smeared his face a deep red. On the floor at his feet was the Indian, killed in a horrible fashion. “Lor’s me! But that was a wring worth the fuss,” Cromit panted. “Meh be it was the spell she put on him when I yelled out.” “H—lll With your bare hands!” I dully exclaimed. He proudly held them up for me to admire. “He was mortal slippery even for a sarpent,” faintly replied Cromit. “Mebbe if she hadn’t witched him—” “Where is she?” I wildly cried brushing the sweat from my eyes and quite forgetting the Frenchman as 1 stared at tier empty blanket and to the open door. Cromit staggered to the door and at once emitted a terrible howl and grappled with another Indian who suddenly tilled the doorway. 1 heard the dull thud of an ax and my friend went down on his knees. “The bone-breaking man is mad from fighting,” said Round Paw, the Onondaga. Cromit, only slightly stunned h> th fc flat of the ax, slowly gained his feet and stared stupidly at the Indian amt rubbed his head ruefully. The Indian sighted my Frenchman and with a whoop would have jumped upon him had I not pushed him back. “He is my prisoner. He goes to Braddock alive!” He turned away and beheld the savage on the floor. With a yelp of amazement he bent over him and in vestigated the nature of the mortal wounds. Straightening he lifted bi> ax in salute to Cromit, then drove it into a log and cried: “Yo-bah! This is a very brave man who walks through the land with us They say be has killed a man with his hands. They say his name will be known to many nations, that he shall be called ‘Koyaner !’ ” “We waste time. There is work for the man of the Wolf. Find me the white girl whom we found in this cabin. It is the girl 1 fought for at Will’s creek, the one who left Der Hexenkopf with us. She was fright ened by the fighting and ran away. She must be brought back. And your white brother’s legs are weak. She is out there in the woods. She will be caught by those Huron devils. Get her and bring ber back if you call me brother.” “She roust run like a deer to overtake the Hurons. They have met Booad Paw. They say they lost four

men to h’m atone.” And he proudly pulled a mass of hair from his belt “And there are two dead at the be ginning ot the woods and one dead outside and one insidh this cabin.” ‘The witch girl lias gone and has taken the light rifle dropped by the Frenchman.’’ declared Cromit. “But she was honest enough to leave my good long rille.” “She is bonnatkon. My orenda tells me not to travel the same path.” the Onondaga insisted. “Then I must go, and my eyes are not sharp like the Wolf man’s, nor are my legs strong. And let it be remem hered when you would pass me a pipe through the camp smoke.” With a grunt he ran from the cabin Cromit and I endeavored to learn something from the Frenchman. “Monsieur. I am a victim ot war But it is all for France,” he told me. “How many were with you?” I asked. He smiled through his bloody Ups and mocked: “There was another Frenchman with me. wtio Is worth a hundred red men He will be here soon with some of nis children.” I pointed to the dead warrior on the floor and asked: “Shall I tell my friend to make you talk?” He gave a-look and was unable to restrain a shudder. Then with a shrug ot his shoulders he said: “A Beauvias can die even tike that. I compliment monsieur on his French.” Cromit edged nearer, working bis gory Angers. I waved him back and spoke in French for my captive's ben etit. saying: “We will leave It for Braddock to make him' talk. He has many Iroquois with bls army, and they have curious ways with wayward tongues.” “It will be interesting, monsieur—for your Iroquois. Let us go to them and learn if they can persuade me." Confound the fellow! One cannot bold a mean grudge against a brave man. “We will start very soon. Cromit. reload the rifles.” The Frenchman glanced about the room and muttered: “There was another here, a youth My children trailed him here after lie killed one ot our Hurons. He made a very pretty tight, put we should have dug him out if you men had not come.” Cromit called from the door: “Here comes Round l’aw. Coming alone And he ain’t In any hurry.” Round Paw glided into the cabin and confirmed what my prisoner had said about bis red allies being in a panic. The girl s trail led to the east He tiad followed it but a short dis tance. Beauvais glared at the Omm da ga s girdle and muttered: “So that Is why they do not stop their foolish running! What a pity’ Poor Dupuy!” In answer to my’que* tioning look he sadly explained “The brown hair hanging over your d—d friend's hip. Until very recently it was worn by my good friend (Jeorges Dupuy.” “You found a dead Frenchman?” I asked Round Paw. He touched the hank ot brown hair Beauvais went on. “He received the Holy Eucharist before we set out. He told me he should never see the Beau tiful River again. Poor Georges. I laughed at him and said it was a sick fancy. Voila! A red savage wears his hair in his belt.” I held a council ot war with my friends and we decided to travel over the back trail for a few miles and look for signs ol the Dinwold woman. I told Cromit be must take the prisoner hack, also a verbal report from me He strongly objected to leaving us hut a compromise was reached by his agreeing to conduct the prisoner as far as the road-builders' camp, where a guard could fake him back to head quarters. Beauvais volunteered the Informa tion that his red force wat composed ot Potawatomi, and that he had had difficulty in inducing them to scout so far from rhe fort. Round Paw did not like iny plan and insisted we should be picking oft more of the enemy while fear was gripping them and while they had no French leaders. But 1 was suspecting his sincerity in searching for the Din wold girl. The idea was fixed in tiis pagan mind that she possessed the evil powers of all sorts of monstrous beings—honnatkon—and it was very possible he had not looked for her be yond the edge of the forest. So we set forth and traveled until

Petrarch as Scholar, Among World’s Great

Francesco Petrarch, a leading tig ure in the revival of learning in Eu rope, was in greatness inferior only to Dante. His greatness belongs to a history of literature rather than to a story of human progress. He lived before tiie invention of printing, being born in 1304 and dy *ng in 1374. He was a great and an original scholar, the first sch< 'ar to collect an important library, and the first scholar of medieval times to write of ancient Greece and Rome as if they were times when men were ac tually alive and not as if they were museum exhibits. Petrarch wakened his age to theimportance of scholarship. He did Checks for Small Amounts There is a federal law stating that ■‘no person shall make, issue, circulate or pay out any note. che< k. memoran dum, token, or other obligation for a less sum than sl, intended to circulate as money or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States and every person so offending shall he fined not more than SSOO oi imprisoned not more than six months, or both, at the discretion of the court. Many individuals, and even the gov eminent, make checks for an amount less than sl, but they are not in tended to circulate, but are only in tended to pay the amount of the check to the person the check is made pay able to. A check is not lawful money and consequently cannot be passed as lawful money. A check is a personal credit instrument used in place of money.

surdown. After rhe first mile the Frenchman gave nis parole not to attempt to escape until I had turned him over to Cromit’s cate, and I released his arms and we fared pleasantly. That night I drilled Cromit on the few points I desired him to report, and made him repeat it until he had it straight enough Especially did I warn against the proposed road over Will s mountain, and urged that the valley road be followed. In the morning we cooked squirrels and tur key, and Beauvais ate heartily. When I came to tie his hands his spirits fell and he offered: “1 will renew my parole, monsieur, until monsieur of the Terrible Hands has delivered me into the custody ot somebody else.” 1 gladly accepted It, and explained to Cromit the man tiad passed tils word not to attempt escape until turned over U, the road builders. Cro mil was inclined to be incredulous and insisted be would tie the fellow up at night. | explained this condition to Beauvais, who made a wry face but submitted with what good grace he could muster. We separated with h courteous exchange of compliments; then the Onondaga and 1 once more turned back toward Fort Duquesne. The girl’s trail was easy to follow when we left the cabin, and for a fourth of a mile Round l’aw had called I my attention to slight signs. Once she had entered the forest she had regained ber wood-sense and had concealed her trail with consummate cun nlng, which meant some deep purpose I had not suspected. However. It was too late to look for her now. for Brad dock's busines's could not wait. We found three hoops handing on a bush and I dared not look at them closely until the Onondaga pronounced the hair in each to be that of a white man. From what I learned later I believe these to he scalps taken from Chapman's road builders. We skirted the opening where we had rescued th© girl and crossed Castelman» river, which was not more than ankle deep, j and soon entered upon higl and very wet glades. Our plan was to scout to the Great crossing of the Youghiogeny that day. a distance of seventeen miles. This section ot the country was excellent for surprise attacks and skirmishes I feared that once the army tiad ad vanced this far if would be surrounded day and night by a cloud of Invisible foes. That night we made the Great cross Ing and camped on the west bank CHAPTER V Wampum! The rain was beating down on out hiding place when we awoke in the morning. Once we were soaked to rhe skin we accepted the weather philosophically, even welcomed It ; for it reduced the danger of being stir prised by the enemy's Indians We traveled slowly and cautiously as our field of vision was limited and blurred by the storm, and there was danger of stumbling upon some Huron or Ottawa camp. With our rille- ami Onondaga's bowstring carefully pro reefed from the dampness we spent a day in covering a few miles I'he Onondaga was Impatient to make a swift march of it. but my plans de mantled that we should not only ar rive at Duquesne but arrive untouched by suspicion. During our second night in billing I perfected my scheme tor entering the fort unquestioned 1 proposed t< enter Allaquippa > town in the role of a Frenchman Her devotion to the English was well known therefore my presence would not be welcomed tty tier, hut her aversion would all the better establish my status among any fort Indians who might be there for the purpose of seducing her Dola wares. From Allaquippa’s town I would make for Duquesne. This line ot pro cedure made it imperative that we should not be chased by any enemy scouting party into the Delaware vil 1 age. We were following the river ano aiming to make Slewart's crossing eight miles from the hills Halt the distance had been covered when out advance was halted by the crash of a smooth bore at one side. The heavy ball cut a small branch several feet overhead I glimpsed a bronzed figure and tired We advanced warily and I was chagrined to find I hao 1 missed, for there was no trace of the | Indian and no bUx d marks.

more than tiny other man to prepare Italy for that glorious age known as the Renaissance. Living in an ago that saw medie va'istn nearing its close and modern limes beginning, Petrarch looked back toward the past and forward to the future. He was both medieval and modern by turns.—Kansas City Star. Averages Untrustworthy Recent insurance experience has 'hown that average tables are often misleading. Ihe average weights arc by no means the best weights. At ages under thirty the best conditions apparently exisi among those whose weights are from five to ten pounds above the average. After age thirty t the most favorable conditions are found among those whos'e weights are below the average. The amount be low average increases with advancing age and at age fifty persons seem to be at their best when their weights are as much as twenty or thirty pounds below the r verage.

The nume of the Lord stands for all that the Lord Is and does “That there be no divisions among you.” that is. no tactions. no alienation ot affection. ‘That ye be perfectly Joined together in the same mind and in tb^ same Judg I ment.” 2. The reason for tills exhortation. 1 (v. 11). Word had been brought to Paul by 1 members of the household of Chloe that wrangling was going on among • the members of tlie Corinthian church He assured them that he find sufli j cient evidence of the strife which was ■ ■ going on among them. 8. Nature of the contentions (v 12) Their disputes were about their teachers.

The cure in such a case is to get a right conception and proper estimate of human teachers | Ministers really are: 1. Servants 01 God (vv. 5. b. They are instruments in His tiands for the execution of His will They are men sent to deliver a message. . to do a definite work. 2. Ministers are equal in rank (vv 8. D). They are called by the same spirit to teach the same truth, and there- : fore stand in the same relationship ' Official hierardiy m th > church has no foundation in the Scriptures 3 Every minister must give an ac 1 count to God for h‘ work [vv 10-21) i 11 he lay other foundation than Christ be is not a Christian minister at all It he build sound doctrine on the foundation lie will receive a reward If he build false doctrine on a true foundation he will suffer loss and | receive punishment.

Ministers are the property of the church (w 22. 23). Frequently the in sumption is that I I the church is owned ty the ministers.

God demands fidelity on tiieir part and He will enter into judgment with them as to their faithfulness. Be : ng Christ’s Disciple Christianity means progress. Living goodness means growing goodness. I don’t care how good a man is if he is* content witli Ills goodness, if lie neither sees the need nor feels the desire to improve, he cannot lie Christ's disciple. That is why Christ told grown-up people to become like j little children. James McKechnie. Those Who Do the Truth Peace for those who do the truth, not for those who opine it. The true man, troubled by intellectual doubt. Is so troubled into further health and growth. Let him be alive and hopeful, above all. obedient, and lie will be able to wait for the deeper content which musi follow with deeper insight.— George MacDonald. To Know the Will of God The great reason possibly whv so, few have thought of taking God into their career is that so few have really taken God into their life. It requires a well-kept life to know the will of God, and none but the Christ-like in character can know the Christ-like in career.” —Drummond.

Grow Cucumbers for the Market Now One of the 20 Important Truck Enterprises in This Country. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) Cucumber growing for table supply, in contrast to production for pickling is now one of the 20 important truck crop enterprises in the United States. In 1926 nearly 40,000 acres were devoted to the crop of slicing or salad cucumber which was valued at nearly $7,000,(MM). This is exclusive ot the crop grown in greenhouses. Cucumbers are grown for carlot shipments in 29 states, but 14 states produce the great bulk of the market supplies with Florida by far the most important producer. Approximately 68,000 acres are planted for pickles. Business Increases. From a shipment of 3,689 carloads la 1920 the business increased to nearly 8,500 cars in 1925 and 7,180 In 1926. “The present outlook for table-cucumber consumption does not warrant any great expansion of acreage," says.W. R. Beattie of the United States Department of Agriculture, the author of “Cucumber Growing” which has Just been published by the department as Farmers’ Bulletin 1563-F. “There Is need.” he adds, “for more intensive culture and the production of higher grade table stock." The growing of high-grade table cucumbers is rather difficult, owing mainly t» the prevalence of Insects and diseases which must be overcome by spraying and by other special methods. The bulletin Includes descriptions of these difficulties and the n!ethods of control. Returns from the cucumber crop average about SIBO an acre, but production costs are high enough to limit profits. Intensive production of cucumbers under sash In the Norfolk (Va.) section and at other points along the Atlantic coast is fairly profitable, especially to growers who are giving the work close attention. Overhead sprinkler systems or subirrigation are in use In some places, and the tendency nt present is toward the provision of all the necessary facilities for making a high grade crop. Packed for Market. “Cucumbers should be shipped packed for the market, according to the I'nlted States standard grades,” the bulletin says, “and under refrig eratkm wherever conditions require it.” 1 armors' Bulletin 1563-F contains inforria! lon for commercial growers rather than for amateur ganleners, am! may be obtained free on application to tlie Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Yellow Fever Peril by No Means Ended Contrary to popular belief, yellow fever has not been wiped from the face of the earth. Although it has been kept out of the United States and Europe, it is still a very great menace. Two main centers of the disease exist. One is in Africa, where Noguchi and two associates died recently of the disease in the course of their investigations on it, and the other is in South America. A flareup from either center is always possible, just as cholera and plague frequently spread to epidemic proportions from their centers in IndifuN Recent investigations point to a reservoir of yellow fever in certain monkeys of Africa, and public health officials believe that a similar animal or mosquito or even human reservoir exists In South America. These reservoirs consist of subjects that have been infected and recovered, but yet are capable of transmitting the disease to others.—Columbia (S. C.) Record. Poor Business Col. E. H. R.
