CHAPTER Il-(Contlnued).
TT'S Johnny Appleseed," a man at my
JL side told me, as If the name explained
anything lie might do.
"Tippecanoe woa fought at 4 o'clock In
the momlns," eald a soldier.
"rwas there," poke out Johnny Ap
pleseed. No other man could say as much. All
looked at him as ho stood on his cau
terized feet, stretching his arms, lean
and sun-cured, upward In the fire-light.
"Angela -were there. In rain ami iarn
ness l heard them epeak and say. 'Ho
hath caat the lot for them, and his hand
hath divided It Unto them by line: they
shall possess It forever;- from generation
to generation shall they dwell therein.
The wilderness and the solitary place
shall be glad for them, and the desert
hall rejoice and blossom as the rose!' "
"Say, Johnny, what does an ungel look
tike?" piped up one of the boys, quite In
fellowship.
Johnny Appleseed turned his rapt vision
aside and answered:
"Say Johnny, haven't the Indians any
X angels?"
"Xou'll wish they was with the angels
If they ever get you by the hair,"
laughed one of tne men.
Soldiers began moving their single
cannon, a slx-pounder. from one block
house to another. All the men Jumped
up to help, as At the raising of a home,
and put themselves In the way so ar
dently that they had to be ordered back.
"When everybody but ourselves had left
tho starlit open place, Johnny Appleseed
lay down and stretched his heels to the
blaze. A soldier added another log, and
kicked Into the tlame those fallen away.
Though It was the end of July, Lake
Erie cooled the Inland forests.
Sentinels were posted In the block-
ihoveed. Quiet settled on the carnp; and
rl sat burning many things In my mind
i elides the Impending battle. Napoleon
Bonaparte had made a disastrous cam
paign In Jlussla. If I were yet In France;
Jf thS Marquis du Pleasy had lived; If I
had not gone to Mlttau; If the self I
might have been, that always haunts us,
stood ready to take advantage of the
turn
Yet the thing which cannot he under

M. had befallen me. I must havo
.Trie) wuuerness into my uiouu, iu
Sties held me. It I had stayed In
at, SO. I should have been a
JtasBehman. The following years made
jmn American. The passion that binds
JVM to-a land Is no more to be explained,
than the fact that many women are
beautiful, while only one Is vitally in
teresting. The, wilderness mystlo was sitting up
looking at me.
''I ee two people In you," he said.
"Only twoT"
"Two separate men."
5, "What are their names?"
"Their names I cannot see."
"Well, suppose we call them Louis and
Laiarre."
His eyes sparkled.
"You are a wjilte man," he pronounced.
"By that I mean you are not stained with

v"Mebby," hazarded Johnny Appleseed,
eautjlotfely, "you are the one appointed to
open and read what Is sealed."
"If .you mean to Interpret what you
( read, I'm afraid I am not the one. Where
t dW you get those leaves?"
t "From ft book that l divided up to dis
tribute among the people."
"Doesn't that destroy the sense?"
"No. I carry the pager In their order
ireen cabin to cabin."
He same around the fire with the light
Mess of an Indian, and gave me his own
fragment to examine. It proved to be
from the writings of one Umanuel Swe
(feasors;. With a smile which seemed to lessen
the vise of his face and concentrate Its
expression to a shining point, Johnny Ap
pleseed slid his leather bags along the
rope girdle, and searched them, one after
the other. I thought he wanted me ta
notice his apple seeds, and Inquired how
tmariy kinds he carried. 80 he showed
them In handfufs, brown and glistening,
or gummed w)th the sweet blood of elder.
TIms produced pippins; these produced

Ing after It fell to his share, so he was
glad to give It to me."
"Where did he get It?"
"His tribe took It from somo prisoners
they killed."
I was running blindly around In a circle
to find relief from the news he dealt me,
when the absurdity of such news over
took me. I stood and laughed.
"Who were tho prisoners?"
"I don't know," answered Johnny Ap
pleseed. "How do you know the Indians killed
them?"
"The ono thai gave me this book told
me so."
"There are plenty of padlocked books In
the world," I said Jauntily. "At least
there must be more than one. How long
ago did It happen?"
"Not very long ago, I think; for the
book was clean."
"Give It to me," I said, as If I cursed
him
"It's a sacred book," he answered, hesi
tating. "Maybe It's sacred. Let me see."
"There may be holy mysteries In It, to
be read only of him who has the key."
"I have a key!"
I took It out of the snuffbox. Johnny
Appleseed fixed his rapt eyes on the little
object In my fingers.
"Mebby you aro the one appointed to
open and read what Is sealed!"
"No, I'm not! How could my key fit a
padlocked book that belonged to prisoners
killed by the Indians?"
He held it out to me and I took hold
of the padlock. It was a small steel pad
lock, and tho hole looked dangerously
the size of my key.
"I can't do It!" I said.
"Let me try," Bald Johnny Appleseed.
"No! You might break my key In a
strange padlockl Hold It still, Johnny.
Please don't shake It."
"I'm not shaking It," Johnny Apple
seed answered tenderly.
"There's only one way of proving that
my key doesn't fit," I said, and thrust
It In. The ward turned easily, and the
padlock came away in my hand. I drop
ped It and opened the book. Within the
lid a name was written which I had
copied s, thousand times "Eagle Made
leine Marie de Ferrler."
Still I did not believe It. Nature pro
tects us in our uttermost losses by a
density through which conviction Is slow
to penetrate. In some mysterious way
the padlocked book had fallen Into
strange hands, and had been carried to
America,
"If "Eagle were In America, I should
know It. For De Chaumont would know
tt, and Skenedonk would find It out"
I -stooped for the padlock, hooked It in
place, and locked the book again.
"Is the message to you alone?" Inquired
Johnny Appleseed.
"Did you ever care for a woman?" I
asked him.
Itestless misery came Into his eyes, and
I noticed, for the first time, that he was
not an old man: he could not have been
above 35. He made no answer: shifting
from one bore foot to the other, his body
settling and losing its Indian lightness.
"A woman gave me the key to this book.
Her name is written Inside the lid. I
was to read It if It ever fell Into my
hands, after a number of years. Some
body has stolen it and carried it among
the Indians. But it's mine. Every shill
ing In my wallet, the clothes oft my back
you're welcome to"
"I don't want your money or your
clothes."
"Out let me give you something In ex
change for It"
"What do I need? I always have as
much as I want. This Is a serviceable
coat, as good as any man need wish for;
and the ravens feed me. And if I needed
anything, could I take It for carrying a
message? I carry good tidings of great
Joy among the people all tho time. This
Is yours. Put It In your pocket."
I hid the padlocked book in the breast
of my coat, and seized his wrJst and bis
hand.
"De of good courage, white double
man," said Johnny Appleseed. "The
Lord lift up the light of His countenance
upon you, the Lord make His face to
shine upon you and give you peace I"
lis returned tp his side of the fire and
stretched himself under the stars, and I
went to Crog nan's quarters and lay
down, with my clothes on, in the bunk
assigned to me.
The book which I would have rent open
at SO, I now carried unsealed. The sus
pense of it was so sweet and drew my
thoughts from tho other suspense which
could not be endured. It was not likely
that any person About Mont-Louis had
stolen the book and wandered so far,
flraall as the volume was, the boards
indented my breast and made me In
creasingly conscious of Its presence. I
waked in tho night and hell It,
Next morning Johnny- Appleseed was

bearer hurried the Amerlcnn within the
gates.
General Troctor regretted that so fine
a young man as Major Croghan should
fall Into the hands of savages, who wero
not to be restrained.
''When this fort Is taken." said
Croghan, on hearing the message, "there
will be nobody left In It to kilt."
British Runboats drawn up on the San
dusky River, and a howitzer on the shore
opened fire, and cannonaded all day with
tho poor execution of long range artil
lery. The northwestern angle of the fort
was their target. Clroghan foresaw that
the enemy's Intention was to make a
breach and enter there. When night
came ngatn. his one slx-pounder wns
moved with much labor from that ang'o
Into the southwest blockhouse, as noise
lessly as possible. He masked the em
brasure and had the piece loaded with a
double charge of slugs and grapeshot and
half a charge of powder. Perhaps the
British thought him unprovided with any
heavy artillery.
They were busy themselves, bringing
three of the Ineffectual slx-pounders and
the howitzer, under darkness, within two
hundred and fifty yards of tho fort; giv
ing a background of woods to their bat
tery. About dawn we saw what they had
been doing. They concentrated on the
northwest angle; and still Croghan re
plied only with muskets, waiting for them
to storm.
So It went on all day, the gun-proof
blockhouse enduring Its bombardment and
smoko thickening until It filled the stock
ade as water fills a well, and settled like
fog between us and the enemy. An at
tack was made on the southern angle
where the cannon was masked.
"This is nothing but a feint," Croghan
said to the younger officers.
While that comer replied with mus
ketry, he kept a sharp lookout for tho
safety of the northwest blockhouse.
One soldier was brought down the lad
der and carried through the murky pall
to the surgeon, who could do nothing for
him. Another turned from a loophole
wth blood upon him, laughing at his mis
hap. For the grotesqueness and Incon
venience of n wound are sometimes more
swiftly felt than its pain. He came back
presently with his shoulder bandaged and
resumed his place at tho loophole.
The exhilaration of that powder atmos
phere and Its heat made soldiers throw
oft their coats, as if the expanding human
body was not to be confined in wrap
pings. In such twilight of war the twilight of
nature overtook us. Another feint was
made to draw attention from a heavy
force of assailants creeping within 20
paces, under cover of smoke, to surprise
the northwest blockhouse.
Musketry was directed against them;
they hesitated. The commander led a
charge, and himself sprang first Into the
ditch. We saw the fine fellows leaping
to carry the blockhouse, every man deter
mined to be first In making a breach.
They filled the ditch.
This was the Instant for which Cro
ghan had waited. He opened the porthole
and unmasked his exactly trained cannon.
It enfiladed the assailants, sweeping them
at a distance of 30 feet; slugs and grape
shot hissed, spreading fan rays of death!
Dy a flash of the reloaded slx-pounder,
wo saw the trench filled with dead and
wounded.
The besiegers turned.
Croghsn's sweating gunners swabbed
and loaded and fired, roaring like lions.
The Indians, of whom there were nearly
a thousand, were not In the charge, and
when retreat began they went in panic.
"Wo could hear calls and yells, the clat
ter of arms, and a thumping of the earth;
the strain of men tugging cannon ropes;
the swift withdrawal of a routed force.
Two thousand more Indians approaching
under Tecumseh were turned back by
refugees.
Croghan remarked, as we listened, to the
uproar, "Fort Stephenson can hardly be
called untenable against heavy artillery."
Then arose cries In the ditch, which
penetrated to women's ears. Neither side
was able to help the wounded there. Out
before the rout was complete, Croghan
had water let down in buckets to relieve
their thirst, and ordered a trench cut
under the pickets of the stockade.
Through this the poor wretches who were
able to crawl came In and surrendered
themselves and bad their wounds dressed.
Dy three o'clock In the morning not a
British uniform glimmered red through
the dawn. The noise of retreat ended.
Pistols and muskets strewed the ground
Even a sailboat was abandoned on the
river, holding military stores and the
clothing of officers.
"They thought Oeneral Harrison was
coming," laughed Croghan. as he sat
down to an early breakfast, having re
lieved all the living In the trench and
detailed men to bury the dead. "We have
lost one man, and have another under
tne surgeon's hands. Now I'm ready to
appear before a court-martial for dis
obeying orders."
"You mean you're ready for your im
mortal page In history"
"Paragraph," said Croghan; "and the
dislike of poor little boys and girls who
will stick their fists In their eyes when
they have to learn it at school."
Intense manhood ennobled his long, ani
mated face. The President afterward
jnade him a lieutenant eMpnel, and wom
en and. his superior officers praised him:
but he was never more gallant than when
be said:
"My uncle. George Rogers Clark, would
have undertaken to hold this fort; and
by heavens, we were bound U try itl"
The other young officers sat at mess
with htm, hilarious over the outcome,
picturing General Proctor's state of mind
when he learned the age of bis con
queror. None of them cared a, rap that Daniel
Weheter was oppoetng the, war- In' the
HesM f Mepreeentatlves at Washington,
and declaring that, en land It was a fail
ure. A subaltern came to the mesa reeni
door, tauohlag hi cap and asking to Tritrf

they've brought him In."
"Docs he carry a dispatch?"
"No, sir. He Isn't more than nine or
ten years old. I think he was a prisoner."
"Is he a whlto boy?"
"Yes, sir, but he's dressed like an In
dian." "I think It unlikely the British would
allow the Shawanoes to burden their
march with any prisoners."
"Somebody had him, and I'm afraid he's
been shot either during the action or In
the retreat. He was hid In the ravine."
"Bring him here," said Croghan,
A boy with blue eyes set wide apart
hair clinging brightly and molstly to his
pallid forehead, and mouth corners turn
ing up In a courageous smile, entered and
stood erect before the officer. He was a
well-made little fellow. His tiny buck
okln hunting shirt was draped with a
Bash In the Indian fashion, showing the
curve of his naked hip. Down this a nar
row line of blood was moving. Children
of refugees, full of pity, looked through
the open door behind him.
"Go to him, Shlpp," Bald Croghan, as
the boy staggered. But he waved the en
sign back.
"Who are you, my man?" asked the
major.
"I believe," he answered, "I am tho
Marquis de Ferrler."

GRADE CROSSING PAULS
TO BE ELIMINATED
Public Service Commission In
dicates Purpose to Abol
ish Grave Evil
A policy of construction will be the
slogan ofthe re-formed Public Service
Commission, which will convene today
at Harrlsburg to consider, among other
things, the rcmoial of grade crossings of
the death-trap' type. r
Tho remarks of the Committee on
Grade Crossings, which toured the city
Saturday to get first-hand information on
the grade-crossing question, indicate
that it Is only a question of time before
the grade crossings in Philadelphia are
eliminated.
It is the opinion of Commissioner Mona
ghan that industrial sidings should not
be allowed to run Into the main track at
a street-crossing. This feature, the com
missioner explains, has been the cause of
the majority of the accMents arising
from the death traps.
There are 40,000 trolley, railroad and
Industrial crossings In the State, and It
is the Intention of the commission to
reduce this number. To realize this
end, they made It plain during their tour
here that permits for sidings would not
be granted unless a strong reason is
presented by the applicant.
This was shown when the Committee on
Grade Crossings announced that It would
refuse the plea of the B. & O. for an
additional siding Into the nemlngton
Arms Company plant at Eddystone. The
railway already has a line Into the plant,
and If the officials ned another, It wilt
havo to be built under or over the Ches
ter jilke, to avoid possible accident and
congestion of traffic
Special attention will be paid by the
commission to the rapid transit future of
Philadelphia, when questions of additional
sidings along the routes of the proposed
elevated lines come up tor a hearing.
The Industrial plants lining Front street,
along which the Frankford "L" will run,
will not be allowed additional sidings
when they will Interfere in anyway with
the foundations of the high-speed lines.
The commissioners obtained the first
authentic facts regarding the situation at
the Ilemlngton Arms plant when they
visited the building on their tour. Gen
eral Manager W, A. Garrett told them
that 15,000 would bo the number of men
at work by the first of the year, The
number of machines installed already to
tals 1123, with work being rushed on the
remaining 9000, which will provide a ma
chine for nearly every employe of the
works.
WOMAN CRUSHED TO DEATII
Jumps From Aufo Backing
Hill and Is Run Over
Down
YOUK, Pa., Sept, 7. Mrs, Bertha Frey,
SO years old, was crushed to death by a
large autotruck late last night while re.
turning with IS others from a day's out
ing at "The Plcketta." The brake refused
to work and Mrs, Frey Jumped from the
rear of the car while it was backing
down a hill. The large wheel passed over
her chest and neck, killing her Instantly.
Presence of mln.d prevented others from
snaring a like fate. They stayed in the
truck and waited until the machine was
halted.
Boy Killed by Jitney Dug
Ten-year-old Gerald Uagee, of Oaklawn
avenue, Oaklyn, N J, was so badly in
