MAKING Irvbiff Baeheller, in hi,a new novel, "In the Days of Poor Rlchatd," has written a story of America In the tnakliiK'—of the United States In the days of Hen- jamtn Franklin. It Is a story, with a dcfiible appeal. One Is to the reader In search of entertain ment, since there is a fascinating; love sttjry In It, spiced with ad- vetitiMf) and tlKlitujg. This Is the love-making; of Jark'lrons. a youtiK frontiersman, a,nd Margaret Hare, the daughter of an EhRlish colonel. The other appeal Is to the Rood Atnericap who is Inter ested In his country's history. Franklin Is the dominating charj- acter of the story and as all Rood Americans know—or should know •—he was human, engaging and lovable beyond the measure of most of the great men of his day. And there were giants in those days, not,the least of whom was Franklin. The reader gets vivid glimpses at historic moments of our American giants—Washing ton, Hamilton; Adams, Jefferson and the rest, as well as such ac tors In the drama of nation-mak ing as Andre and Benedict Arnold. It ends with a tine picture of Poor Richard In his last days, ut tering those homely philosophies which are both historic and classic.

CHAPTER I The Horee Valley Adventure. “The first time I saw the boy, Jack Irons, he was about nine yeark old. I was In Sir William Johnson’s camp of magnificent. Mohawk warriors at Al- bany.^-Jack was so active and success ful' in the games, between the red hoys und'the white,*tliat the-Indians called him ‘Rolling Water.’ His laugh and tireless spirit reminded me of a moun tain brook. There was no lad, near his age, who could run so fast, or Jump so far, or shoot so well with the bow or the rifle. I carried him on my back to his home, he urging me on us if I had been a battle horse and when we were come to the house, he ran about doing Ids chores.. I helped him, and, our work accomplished, we went down to the river for a swim, and to my surprise, 1 found him a well-taught fish. We became friends and always when I have thought of hhn.^he words Happy Face have come to me. It was, 1 think, a better nickname than ‘Roil ing Water,’ although there was much propriety in the latter. I knew that his energy given to labor would ac complish much and .When 1 left him, 1 repealed the words which my father had often quoted in m^ hearing: “‘Seest tliou a man diligent in his calling? He shall stand helore kings.’” 'Phis glimpse of John Irons, Jr.—fa miliarly known as Jack Irons—is from a letter of Benjamin Franklin to Ids wife. Nothing further is recorded of his boyhood until, about eight years later, what was known as the “Horse Valley Adventure'’ occurred. A lull account of it follows with due reganTTor. lulck-" ground and color: y “It was the season o’ the great moon," said old Solomon Rinkus, scout and interpreter, as he leaned over^ the. campfire and (licked a coal out of the ashes with Ids forefinger and twiddled it up to his pipe howl. In the army lie was known —as- “old Salomon Rinkus,” not by reason ot his age, for he-was only about thirty-eight, But as a mark of deference. Those who fol lowed him in the bush had a faith in his-wisdom that was childlike. “1 had I had my feet inn pair o’ sieves-walkin’ I the- white sea a- fortnight." he went on. “The dry water were six foot on ] the level, er mebbe more,‘an’ some o'! K - the waves up to tin* tree.tops, tin’ no- b«Hy"\Vith ooehut tjiis ere ol' Marier Jane (Ids rifle) the hull trip to the! Swcgache country (Ini' ding my pictur'! It seemed as if the wind j were a ti'vin’ fer to rub it off the I long scar upon^ his forehead. These were like the notches on the stock of his tf-ifle. They were a sign of the stories of adventure to be found' In that wary, watchful brain of his.* Johnson enjoyed his reports on ac count of their humor and color and he describes him In a letter to Putnam as a man who “when he is much Inter ested, looks as If he were taking aim with his rifle.’’ To soma It seemed that one eye of Mr. Rinkus was often drawing conclusions wnlle the other was engaged with the no less Impor tant function of discovery. His companion was young Jack Irons —a big lad of seventeen, who lived in a fertile valley some fifty miles north west of Fort Stanwlx, In Tryon^coun- ty, New York. Now’, in September, 1708, they were traveling ahead of a band of Indians bent on mischief. The latter, a few days before, had come down Lake Ontario and were out in the hush somewhere between the lake and the new settlement In Horse val ley. Solomon thought that they were probably Hurons, since they, being dis contented with the treaty made by the French, had again taken the war-path. This Invasion, however, was n wholly unexpected hit of audacity. They had two captives—the wife and daughter of Colonel Hare, who had been spend ing a few weeks with Major Duncan and his Fifty-fifth regiment, at Os wego. The colonel, had taken these Indies of his family on a hunting trip in the bush. They had had two guides with them, one of whom was Solomon Rinkus. The men had gone out In the early evening prudently left slate. It were lies' wind that Doesn’t hurt’ one hit!

Solomon Rinkus paused to give his words a chance “to sink in.” The silence which followed Whs broken only by the crack, of burnt ing faggots anil the sound-of the night wimjjn tjje tall pines above the gorge. Before Mr. Rinkus resumes Id's nar rative, w hich, one might know by 'the tilt of his head and the look of his -wide open, right eye; would soon hap pen, the historian seizes the oppor tunity of finishing Ids, 'introduction. He had been the best scout in the army of Sir Jeffrey Amherst. As a- small hoy he had been captured by the “Sen ecas and held in the tribe a ypfir and two months. Early in the French and Indian war, he had been caught by Algonquins and tied to a tree and tortured by hatchet throwers until res cued by n French captain. After that his opinion of Indian’s had been, prob ably. a bit colored by prejudice. Still later he had been a harpooner In a whale boaf, and in his young iu |in ' hood, one of th<»se who had escaped the infam^is massacre at Fort Wll- after moose and im- the ladies in camp, where the latter, hiyl been captured. Having returned, the scout knew that t he only possible explanation for the absence of the ladles was Indians,'al though rH> peril could have been more unexpected. He had discovered by "tlu* sign” That it was a large hand traveling eastward.. 'He had set out by night to get ahead .-f them while’ Hare and his other guide started for i the fort. Rinkus knew every mile-of | the wilderness and had canoes hidden ! near its bigger waters. He had’ crossed the lake, on which his party hud been camping, nod the swamp at the east end of *it arid was soon far ahead- of the marauders. A little after daylight, he had picked up the hoy. Jack Irons, at a hunting camp on Rig Deer creek, as it was then called, and the two had set out together to 'wars- the people in Horse valley r where Jaclr iivedr and to get help for a battle wjth the savages. It^\Vih he seen by his wojnbcihat Mr. lOnkqs was a nihn of-imagination, but. —again he is talktngr “I were on my way to a big Injun Row-wow at .Swcgache fer Sir Bill— ayes it were in Feb’uary, the time o’ the great moon o’ the ban] snow. I found a heap o’ Injuns at Swegache— Mohawks, Senekys, Onandogs?, an’ Al- gonks. They had been swappin’ pres ents an' speeches with the Frerfch. Just a little while afore they had had a hellerin' match w‘ith us ’bout Love an’ friendship, it in theh* heads that the French had a sharper Hatchet than the English. I were skeered, hut .when I see that they was nobody drunk'. I pusheiLright Jnt»V the big village an’ asked fer the old Senecky chief Bdar Face—knowin’ he were thar—an’ said I had a letter from the Rig Father. They tuk me tu him. “I give<,him a .chain o’ wampum an’ then read the letter from Sir Rill. It, offered the Six Nations more land an' a fort, an’ a regiment to defend ’em. “A powerful lot o’ Injuns trailed hack to Sir BUI, but they was a few went over to the French. I kind o' mistrust thar’s sonje o’ them runny- gades behind us. They’re ’spectin’ to git a lot o' plunder an’ a horse apiece an’ ride ’em hack an’ swim the river at the place o’ the many Islands. WeTL poke down to the trail on the edge o’ the drownded lands afore sun rise an’ Dklnd o’ mistrust we’ll see sign.” 1 Jack Irons was a son of the much-^ respected John Irons from New Hamp shire who. In the fertile valley where he had settled some years-before, w’as breedlngjiorses for the army and send ing them down to Sir William Johnson. Hence the site of his fnrtw^ad baan colled Horse valley. Mr. Rinkus went to the near brook and repeatedly filled his old felt hat with water and poured It on the fire. “Don't never keep no fire a-goln’ a’ter I’m dried out,” he whispered, as he stepped back into the dark cave, “ ’cause ye never kin tell.” The hoy was asleep on the bed of boughs. Mr. Rinkus covered him with the blanket and lay down beside him and drew his coat'over both. 1 “He’ll learn that It ain’t no fun to he a scout," he whispered with a yawn and In a moment was snoring. It was black dark when he roused hIs companion. Solomon had been up for ten minutes and had got their ra tions of bread and dried venison out of his pack and brought a canteen of fresh water; They started down the foot of the gorge then dim In the night shadows. Rinkus stopped, now and then, to lis ten for two,or three seconds and went on with long stealthy strides. His movements were panther-like, and the boy Imitated them. He was a tall, handsome, big-framed lad with blond hair and blue eyes. They could soon see their way clearly. * They hurried through slbppy footing in the wet grass that flung Its dew into their garments from the shoulder down. Suddenly Mr. Rinkus stopped. They could hear the sound of heavy feet splashing in the wet meadow. “Scairt moose, runnin’ this way!" the scout whispered. ’T’h bet ye a pint o’ powder an’ a fishhook them In juns is over vast o’ here.” ._ It was his favorite wager—that of a pint of powder and a fishhook. They came out upon high ground and reached the valley trail just as the sun was rising. The fogJiad lifted. Mr. ‘Rinkus stopped well away from the trail and listened for some min utes. He approached it slowly on his tiptoes, the hoy following in a like ipannor. For a moment the scout stood at the edge of the trail in si- tenco. Then, lean-inflow, he examined •it closely and quielGy raised his hand. “Hoofs o’ the devil!” lie whispered as he beckoned to the bgy, “See thar,” he went on. pointing to the ground. “They’ve jest gone by. The grass ain’t rizyit. Wait here.” He followed the trail a few rods with eyes bent uivon it. Near a little run where there was soft dirt, he stopped again and looked intently at the earth and then hurried back. “It’s a big hand. At least forty In juns in it an' some* captives, an’ the devil and Tom Walker. .It’s a mess* which they ain't jio mistake.” “I’m afraid my folks are in danger,” Said the boy as ,he changed color. “Er mebbe Peter iRonesos’—'cordin' to the way they go. We got to cut eround ’em an’ plow straight through the hush fin’ over Cohide hill an' we’ll beat etn easy.” - ilt was a hurious, long, loose stride, the 'knees never quite straightened, with which the scout made his way through the forest. It covered ground so swiftly that the hoy had, now and then,.to break into a dog-trot in order to keep along with the old woodsman. They kept their pace up the steep side of Cobble hill and down its far slope ! and the valley beyond to the shore of the Rig creek. j “I’m. hot ’nough to sizzle an’ smoke when I tech water."- said the scout ns he waded in, holding lth+—-ride and powder-horn in his left hand above the creek’s surfft.ee. They had a few strokijN) of swim- nflng at midstream, hut .nutnaged to keep thejr powder dry. Frank Rikert, well-known resident of North Sacramento, Cal., who came to the .state from Illinois In a covered wagon In 1804, along other habdy pioneers, recently exhibited a bottle"bf Tanlac, which he had Just*purchased, to a friend at his home and remarked: “If I thought this was the last bottle of Tanlac I would ever be able to buy, I wouldn’t take one hundred dollars for It,” thus proving the high valuation he places on the famous treatment. “I believe Tanlac really saved my life when I took It after the Flu about a year ago,” continued Mr. Rikert, “for the attack left me 20 pounds off In weight, and unable to turn over In my bed without assistance. I tell you, I thought my time had surely come. “Rut, thanks to my wife’s insistence, I kept on taking Tanlac till I was able to do all my work again, had back all my lost weight, and I’ve been feeling years younger ever since.
