It was Sunday, July 14, 1776-- ninety-nine years ago --and the rude ly constructed fort at Bonesborough lay in drowsy stillness on the bank of the Kentucky River. Daniel Boone and his triend and associate, Richard Callaway, had been absent since early in the morning ; ; and the good wives, sharers in the toils of the early pioneer days, were enjoy- ing the rest that the Sabbath brought even to the unbroken wilderness.-- In the grateful shade of a tree in one corner-of the enclosure sat three young girls, just blooming into womanhood, and giving an unwont- ed charm to tho rough evidences of civilization which had but recently forced themselves npon the prim. itive harmony of 'the surrounding scenery. The eldest of these maidens was Elizabeth Callaway. The experience of rather than the observance of nature see have given turn to the thoughts and tastes of the early settlers, so while euphonieus name of Bessig might have hagmonised well with the murmuring river and the soft 'and languid aspect of nature in her simmer garb, the hard, everyday life of the advéntirous dwell. ers in the Dark and Bloody grotind seemed to comport best with the harsher name of Betsy. So Elizabeth was known simply as Betsy Callaway--not a name suggestive of ro- Banos. yet she was withal a gentle and lov. irl and had maiden fancies that gave the 1 gis color of romance to one of the in- cidents ta of her life in the wilderness, She brated the ocasion when George Washington turned his back upon the delights of home and gave his word to @ cause ih which fail- ure would 3 be ignominy and death ; we are te with i splen- dor the dni anniversary of that mem- orable event that gave us independence and illustrated the exalted courage of the states- men of 1776 ; let us pause for a moment to do honor to this brave girl, who battled so heroically with a foe that even strong men hesitated to encounter ; let us lift the ro- mance of her rudo life 'out of the commen run of girlish sentiment, and make her love one of the episodes of our history, The vonsternation at the fort can well be imaged. The fathers of the girls soon re- turned, and, before at closed in, Danicl the hend of & Ricard Callaway at a. head of [} toh on horsuback, were off in pursuit, Ia {] party' were Sathuel Henderson, John and Flanders Callaway. What gave | youths such determined looks and made them press on so eagerly? Was it only a knightly spirit that prompted them to the rescue of forlorn and captured damsels ? Abt #8 Samuel Henderson strode along he thinking of the olive cheeked heroine, Batay Callaway and John Holder clenched his: hinds od ground his teeth when he thought. ot poor little frightened Fanny; and Flans ders, Callaway almost forgot his kith sud kin for thinking of his captured Jemima Boome. . We can easily swile over it now ; but let any man put himself in the place of any one of these three young men and ask himself how he would feel in such a pursuit, knowing that the girl he loved and hoped to make his was in the power of ruthless, cruel end treacherous savages. 'When the Indians startediththopils thoy made the youngest ones take 4 and put on moccasins, but Betsy oR to was just turned of sixteen, and as she sat under the tree that sultry summer afternoon, ninety-nine years ago, the sun that now and them stole through the toliage and played upon her rounding form and athwart her well-set head seemed to bring out more fully the lithsomeness of her young | , the glossy black of her raven tresses and the rich olive color of her dark complexion. Callaway was fairer han 'her 'sister Betsy, but not more pleasing in appearance, The third girl, Jemims Boone, wasalso natural fair and, like Fanny, owed whatever of fair- to the weather. maidens without their fancies, too, for the wilderness matures JuaSipune pa The other girls were younger by two years | her with uplifted tomahawk if and differed from her in appearance.

Perhaps these young girls were silent and sat there commenting wi their own thoughts, er thinking of their absent heroes, who had gone out that day with Boone and Callaway ; perhaps they were conversing ry their matrimonial arrangements ; per- everything and nothing ; for feminine +{ nature a hundred years ogo was not unlike Mo it is now in tlie most civilized communities, But as evening drew near the last lingering breath of air seemed to lull itself to rest, and s caught the sound of the river as its subdued murmur floated up over the bank, posed that they should go a short distance below the fort, to where a canoe was drift out upon the bosom eof the ver to catch the rising coolness of the even- ing waters, Hardly wee they seated &itd prepared to Wc wriaBpadenid when they detected a the July heat seemed to become still more appre The quick ear of one of the|y pin difficulty now presented itself, were the captives to be rescusd without ing the captorstime to kill them? was but little time for reflection as the dians hist gaickly discover thels pw The white men were sure shots, picked their men, fired Jags they they were idly chatting about anything ban in herlap.
