Saved In the
' Nick of Time
By RUTH W. MALTBY
Tbe early settler* In Kentucky came
largely from the same direction. Reach
ing America from tbe old world, they
settled In Pennsylvania, later emigrat
ed to western Virginia and, baring
worked out their lands there, moved
on down tbe Ohio river to appropriate
th? virgin soli of Kentucky.
Among these movers was a family
named Martin, the father and mother
being elderly persons, their elder chil
dren grown. A daughter, flester, was
a girl of eighteen. They settled not
far from where Bowling Green Is now
situated.
The war of 1812 was being fought,
and soon after the arrival of the Mar
tins in their new home the battle of
New Orleans was fought and won by
the Americans, or, rather, the woods
men of the west, among whom the
hunters of Kentucky were conspicu
ous. The war had been ended by
treaty before tbe battle, though the
news of peace had not yet got across
the Atlantic, and soon after It was
over the ttoops came marching home.
A company of Kentucklnns recruited
from the region about where the Mar
tins lived was disbanded, and a young
man. Abner Armstrong, who had
marched away and returned as a lieu
tenant, was among the number. At
the time of his appearance John Rart
let, a man of forty years of age. bad
asked Martin for his daughter Hester's
hand. There were many mouths to
feed In Martin's rnmlly, and Rartlet
was the only suitor who hnd establish
ed himself In the new country: there
fore Martin persuaded neater to marry
him.
But before the wedding had taken
place along came tbe soldiers whose
rifles had won the battle of New Or
leans. Toung Armstrong was a strap
ping. flaxen haired, blue eyed boy with
every appearance of manllnesa, but
withal an engaging smile. Flester look
ed at blm and surrendered.
There Is but little reason In youth.
Instead of confessing to her father and
her betrothed that she had not known
what love was and that, having dis
covered it In the young soldier, she
had changed. Hester resolved on the
most desperate course to be conceived
of. She told Armstrong, who was as
deeply smitten with her as she was
with blm, that she could never face
either her father or her betrothed to
tell them of the change In her and tbe
only couce left for them was to run
away. It was not likely that one who
had but recently helped to win a battle
should show tbe white feather.
Tbe only means of conveyance in
those days In Kentucky was a horse.
Armstrong had but one animal, but it
served for both. They started on an
afternoon, and their flight was discov
ered about ft o'clock the same night
Rartlet was notified, and when he
learned how he had been treated he
gjfc I
"I'll go after 'em and bring 'em back.
Then I'll tell 'em they kin frit married
for all me as noon as they like."
With this he mounted his horse, his
rifle slung to his saddle and pistols In
his holster, for no one went about un
armed In those wild days. and. assum
ing that the fugitives would make for
the Ohio river, he rode straight north
ward. About midnight he saw a lurid
light on the clouds to the northeast
ward. and. thinking the fugitives had
bivouacked and built a fire, he turned
his horse's head In that direction.
Suddenly he reined In to a stand and
listened. A distant confused barking
fell upon his ear. He shuddered. A
picture came before bis mind's eye
painted by the hand of experience. A
Kentucklan. he knew that the barks
he heard were thnse of wolves and
that one of the ways of fighting wolves
was by Are tie saw the girl he had
hoped to make his wife and the man
she had eloped with besieged by hun
gry beasts.
Urging forward his horse, guided by
the light the barks growing more dis
tinct as he approached, he finally
hurst in upon the very scene he had
pictured. Armstrong and Hester oc
cupied the center of a circle of fire
they had built to keep off the pack.
Armstrong's ammunition bad been ex
pended. and whenever a wolf snarled
too close he beat It back with the bar
rel of his rifle or with a burning brand.
Hester, like a true daughter of the
forest, was bravely arranging the wood
they bad gathered to keep It burning.
Having ridden as far as his terrified
horse would go, Bartlet dismounted
and. aiming at a wolf, shot htm dead.
Then, while the pack were devouring
their companion, the rifle was reload
ed and another wolf was brought
down. Drawing nearer to the besieged
couple. Bartlet called upon them to run
toward him while he covered their re
treat They started. Hester In ad
vance. The wolves sprang after them,
and just as their leader was about to
spring upon Armstrong, who was mov
ing with his face to them. Bartlet shot
the beast dead. This gave Armstrong
time to make good his retreat and be
fore the wolves had finished eating the
carcass already slain the three per
sons had got away.
The next morning all appeared at
the Martin home. Bartlet. without a
word of reproach, released Hester from
her engagement to him, and her father
consented to her marriage with Arm
strong as soon aa he bad a cabin to
put her In But the latter proved a
better soldier than pioneer and never
got the cabin. In time Hester married
Bartlet of her own free will.

It was generally held thst grief had
driven him to desperation. The deacon
waa advised to alt up all night and
watch to see that Bniy didn't commit
suicide by hanging.
Two daya passed quietly, but on the
evening of the second the goat quietly
attpped his collar and set out to see the
eights of nomeo. While ranging around
he encountered six different persons on |
their way to prayer meeting. He took
them In as fant as he came to them
Some went ro'.llng Into the ditch and
aome against the fence, but all under
went the same sensation. They thought
a tree bad fallon on them.

"I know? I know, deacon." waa the
reply.
"We'll have to keep him."
"We will."
"Dura his hide!"
"S-s-e-h! There he stands In the j
door!"
That night the goat was shut ur in
the barn, but there was a window
through which he Jumped, taking the
sash and glass with him. Mr. Griggs,
the grocer, had locked up and was on
his way home when eome white object
flashed before hU eyes and he knew
no more for half an hour. The sexton
of the Baptist church has spent two
hours awee 'ng and dusting, and bad

Trade At Home
ris a hard thing to convince tome people, who hare acquired the
mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, no they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves- The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue again??mail order businem
