F ever I get sately out of this scrape trust me never again travel an un- known region without a guide,” growled Burton Everleigh as he reined in his horse and oked anx. iously around. He bad paused upon one of the highest pe aks of the Alleghany Mount- ains, with the waters of the Tennessee and French Broad cut off from his servation. Attempting to follow confused directions given by an old col ored wood-chopper (as to how he would easily cross) he had wandered from the right road and was c wilderness of foliage and rocks. $*Hum,” he continued witha smile al bis own stupi lity, a prospect fora young mun wi luxury and the smsthetic in life. may have charms for enthusiastic of nature, but I ve hotel t with bugs making a race face, tents of my ears, ar soakes playfully ¢ “He tare.

To all appearances it was uninhabited, was far from any hab- itation and when Everleigh first looked upon it he fancied only by wings could its depths be reached. Rude steps, Lalf nature, half art, however, cased the way. The girl traversed them rapidly, but once pausing and then to whisper in the regard that flashed out as from a solid ledge of rocks: “Not a word, not a whisper. whose rifles never miss their aim watching,» and the wild cats of mountains have not keener hearing sight.” are the ‘““A nest of robbers!
