He placed his loii rifle in n rack over
the door, nnlunj; his shot imncli nnd
then bested himself and gazed Rloomily
into tlie lire, without vonchsiifing either
a greeting to the atranser or a word to
his own family. Nan, p:iini by, whis
pered to tlie peddler:
"Don't ye mind uncles he a got one of
liis bad spells on now, but if he nin't
bothered it'll p.is off by and by."
The peddler nodded, and began n tale
concerning one of bis ndventnies in
Texas, Ho was noon interrupted by
Aunt Viney.
"Sit up, stranger, saw sue. "we
hain't got much to eat, but such ns it is
you're wclco'iie,"
The old man ate bis aupper in solemn
silence, after which he took his hat and
abruptly left the cabin. Annt Viney

Mose, mv oki man, nam t ueen ex

'"Stillin 1 a'pose?"
"Yes, 'nd top of that be idiot one of
'em while they were tryln to take him,
'nd they put him in pen'tensh'ry at
Nashville for ten year."
Tho peddler lemained silent for a mo
ment or two. lint when the dishes were
washed and put nway bo again enter
tained the two women by relatiug sun
dry reminiscences of his own career, ami
also describing the wonders of certain
great cities bo bad visited,
After awhile. Moso again stalked si
lently in ami took a seat in a far. cmner.
While the peddler talked he continued
to eye him closely, as if suspicious that
tlie stranger was not just what he
should bo.
"Speakin of the telephone," continued
the peddler, "some folks in these moun
tains don't believe that people can talk
to each other, 'nd them a hundred or
more miles apart, but I tell ye H' fact,
I've seed it dune myseU,"
'.;J'ye kjyiwcd of men bulletin across

Aunt Viney dubiously, "ilebbe they
could make themselves heard a matter
of two miles. But a hundred" Bbe
shook her bead disapprovingly.
"It's so all the same, though, I'v sojt
'nd heart 'em talkiu jus' a we be, vuw."
"That's as big a Ho as ever- tuld,"
exclaimed old Mose, ri.sb.iK and making
for the doo,r,
seized his rifle as lie passed, threw
u menacing glance nt tho peddler and
once more lett the cabin.
"Old man's a little "touched in lite
head, ain't he?" aked the peddler, whfj
seeineu tu lane nu uneie wnnt-er at
the old man's Hide behavior.
"Ever since John vs took off he's had

It was Nan who replied, for Aunt Yt
ney was making preparation to, retire
for the night. When the girl, and tba
peddler were left uloufltbelatter seemed
somewhat curious about this Ron Jiihu,
who for so, many years had lieen under
the, bau (if the law.
t'John was alwayagooil to Uncle Io.so
and Aunt Viney, 'nd that's one reason
Uncle Mose takes it nu so bard now.
"I s'prtse, liein as you're kin lo Vai,

He eyed Nau closely as lib awk,e, mid
the girl blnsbed slightly,

The girl looked at him reprovingly,
"It's about bedtime," said she coldly,
"Shan't I show you were you're to sleep,'"
The peddler rose, took trulls pack and

A friend of mine made a prolonged
tour of Scotland last year to indulge in
his favorite pastime fishing of which
there Is noue lwtter in tho whole world
than among; the highlands and cotiUcu-
oua island; of that country. Ho brought
back with him a vast storehouse of till
strange tales of the primitive pooplo
among whom he sojourned, for he avoid
ed the usual lines of travel, confining
hi wanderings to the remote villages
aud ont of the way places which the or
dinary tourist never visits. He lived for
months with the peanuit aud fisherman
class, with whom, ingratiating himlf
into their good graces, he learned ranch'
of the traditions ccrrcnt in tho regirn,
which have only been kept alive by
being handed down from father to son
through the generations.
At one time reaming with a ilinple
fisherman on one of tho Hebrides, that
Croup made f.mions by tho celebrated
tour of Dr. Johnson nnd Boswell, he was
told a etrango story irrtaining tu u care
im one ot tlio island, which he after
ward visited with his host, making the
weird tradition donhly interesting. It
was this:
More than tlirna centuries ago there
existed two clans between which there
had waged the most bitter and relent
less warfare for generations. Of course
the jtcople of both factions were but lit
tle mora civllLml than the North Amer
ican Indians when Colnnibns gave a
new world to Spain. Both clans lived
by stealing- from their neighbors, de
cidedly preferring this mode of life to an
honest endeavor of raising anything for
themselves. Their tenure of the dark
glens which they claimed was held by
the prowess of their primitive bows and
arrows, their rnde claymores nnd ruder
dirks. Ignorant, cruel and vindiciivo,
the several clans hated each other with
a hatred unknown but to dense igno
rance; they hated simrly because their
namea differed, because Uiey had lcn
taught that differences between names
meant fends between races.
One of those two contentliiig clans
lived on one of the little islands of the
Hebridean group, a barren, rocky, deso
late spot, snrrounded onlyby the eternal
surf. Ono mild winter day canio tho
boats of their hated enemyv 'The inten
tion of the inradera was of course to
kill, plnnder and destroy. They did
plunder and burn the lints they found
on the shore, but not a hnman being
was founil that they could massacro.
The whole island appeared to have been
abandoned. The invaders ransacked it
well; traversed every glen and every
ravine ami wondered where their invet
erate enemies hatl gone. Failing in tho
principal part of their bloody mission,
they prepared to leave. They took up
their oars, but hardly hart they cleared
the little creek by which they 'had en
tered from the sea when a man, with an
apparently extraordinary vision, spied a
figure in the nucertain light of a win
ter's dawn cantionsly moving over tho
rocks.
A about announced tho ducovery.aml
the islandor disappeared. But the secret
had lweu betrayed. Tho inhabitants
had hidden themselves, not deserted.
In half an hour their assailants had re
lauded and set themselves with. awak
ened hope to the search. SnjDWhad
fallen during the night, and tho.foot
steiot the imprudent islander hatmyrjd
the wherealttmts nt his clan. The higb
landors nxnltingly followed he trail of
the enemy, and theys'xm tracked him
to the hidhis placo of his people, a enri-
ous cavtru, its enrrr.nce through the
mazes of rock, overgrown with thick
shrubs, a placo easily missed by any ono
not familiar with tho locality. In this
cave were gathered nil Ihii families ot
the tribe, tlie women and litQe children
and a few of the old men. the niain .por
tion of the ; ouug warriors havingone

With shouts of triumph and exulting
wrath comparable to the. cruel nature of
invaders they collected seaweed, drift
wood ami the dried heath, in which the
rocks abounded, and piled aronnd tlie

now cognizant of what their enemies
