A lonesome cahin M-rcheil tvav up the steep side of the mountain. A cahin not more nor less desolate, poverty- stricken or lil. nk than many of those that dot the mountains of the Southern States Cal ihis ill which p-m-ratinits of ''iMKir whites)" are lsru and reared, with no idea of aught outside the f-e-t- nes:-s of the mountain, or that there is anything, in life U tter titan what is there at'orthtl them. There tastes ami hahits are extremely simple, and their hospitality to anyone they have no reu son to suspect most cot'dial and sponta neous Within the cahin the ground lloor was all one room, no wils the loft alfive, aeeess to which wils gaiiicl hy a ladder through a hole in the ccili.'i. Sennt and nnle artit -les of use and fur niture stood al-out the punchcoii fliMr, hut of articles) of adornment or etfort at ornamentation such as would mark the pri-semv and hand of a woman alut the house there was not i-veii the rudest rt. CMk:n, tmteiisils stood ulut tiie wide stone hearth, and the limitisl store of family crockery stood upon a roti;;!i deal tahle pushed against t!ie wall. Sadd!is and au old spinniii wheel, an ox yoke and pair of heavy trace chains hung ag-ainst the w all in lieu of pictures, while from the ceiling tlanglitl the customary hutches of dried !ierl-s and strings of brilliant retl pepj-ers Resides the cahin, tn the downward slope of the inouiiLain a patch of stunt ed corn rtisthtl its leaves in the crisp air, whilestill further down the iosky laurel grew in dense luxurianee, as yet uii'iisUirUil hy hand ir fiKt of man. FarU low in the cove the rain was fiilliiig, and ns.ul gray mi-t drifted down the ruggisl paths i.r roiled over the stsp islges of dangerous eliils as the wind might will, or lurked in the darkling nooks of laurel when the wind ceased. Within the living room a Hare from the great chimney piece played genial ly h..t the htimlile furnishings of the ittliiti and the l.rown logs of the wall, when.' the gigantic shadow ofanag.d woman mimicked her every gesture witli grotesque ex:iggera:io:i. The parti-i-olored yarn on the warping hars, the string of peppers and heriis, the htiriiisheil metallic flash of the guns in the rack on the wall, all served as in cidents in the alternate monntony of the yellow flicker and the hrown shad ow, while deep under the Mazing logs the red coals pulsated and in the farth est vistas of the lire ipiiveretl a white, heat. HesiiL" the hearth an aged woman h.isked, enjoying the genial warmth, her head sunk in the depth of a large suniioiiuct, her tllws resting on her knees, calmly ami cjiitemphitively piilliiigaway at a long-stemmtil pipe. All at once the ashes were whi-ktsl alxut the hearth as in a sudden draught then were still. Momentary surprise, the old woman took her pip.' from her mouth, hesitated, and then replaced it, calmly pullingaway one.' more. Again there was a whisking of the ashes a c ild draught and the first drojn of a threaten. d rain were pattering on the rtof with resonant timhre, then the heavy downp-iur came, in tking the cihin sway and r.Kk. "Witat lie Liz a-iloin' of, an' whar lie she a-dotu' hit, I wonder?" the old woman muttered t: hcrse'lf uneasily. Hands were funiMing at the cahin door as though in haste and then Liz hurst in, hringing witit her a dash of sweeping rain, exhaling a cold moist ure from her dripping clothing, hreath-h-ss from her raej with tiie hurrying downpour. "I war down ter th' still," she o! served cheerily, crowding among the dogs and sleepy resisting cats already in j;ss'.ssion of the wide stone hearth, "an I 'lowed hit'd hold up long nu!l fer me ter git home an' milk oi' Rlos siitn, htif hit didn't. Whar's Ike?" "A-hunlin " in.lilleri ntly from the old woman. "Wall, I 'low I'd U-ttor go anyhow, kase hit moiight lie day, an' then hit moughteitt, U fo' he git-) lutck." Tiie old woman muttered something aliotit the storm, which was lo-t in the depths of her large lonnct, and the girl, taking a crock from the shelf again slipped out in the rain. OM Riossom wxs milked, the hunger of the few lean hogs corralled in a jh :i at the hack of the cahin apjKased, the chick ens all fd and gone to roost in the althic bushes near hy, ln-fore Liz lie thought herself of her own needs P.y this time her scant clothing was very wjt, and the rain was Tanning in tiny rivulets from the wide old hat she had d .nned as her only protection against the storm. ' I dcclar' ter gracious cf hit ain't a p.turiti', " she exclaimed, standing in the tvntre of the cahin lloor divi-sting herself of the wet clothing. "Pap an' Jim 'ell lie soaked lessn they's got sense 'null" ter go in outeii th' rain an' I Mow the ltcs't game Ike kin hunt U a shelter ter keep hese'f dry." Her wet frock fell with a little thwack on the hare fi tor as she sp ike, reaching for another one of Mil? lioiiiespuit that hung lH-sidv. the wall. "I 'low," she said, coming forward, "thet I'd lietter have they griili redy an' waitin' when they tins doc line, kas? th.y'l hi ptw' ful hongry." She drew a long han dled frying-pan forward and stt it up:n the coals then put a small Dutch oven with its cover against the logs to hint, punching the lire in a professional manner. Then taking from a gourd some green coHee lu ans, she spread them up.m the sm iking pan to parch for the evening draught. "I Mowed," she said cheerfully to the old woman, "thet I'd make pone, hits a heap mo' satisfyin' when folks is much hongry." She rolled the meal alxnit in the gourd a- she sp:ke, adding little spurts of water and a spriukling of salt, deftly mixing the whole into au even mass which she then placed in the oven in neat loaves or panes ornamented all over with her four light finger prinU.

"Pap," Jim and Ike, all sturdy liearded mountain eers, entered together, shielding their rifles luneath the folds of t'e-ire i.its to keep the liKks from wetting. Each had a cheerful word for the old crone in the chimney corner and an appre ciative glance for Liz's culinary efforts simmering upon the hearth, whieh wax soon spread In-fore them. While they ate the girl waited ii-hiii tlieui, and when they had finished theti'.d unman was stippiiid with a i".ition, Liz car rying it tt her scat liesides the tire. The meal ovi-r Liz built up the tire anew, the men gathering round the heartii with pilc, while Liz took from some cranny a huge pair of woolen socks, minus the heels "1 newr set sic!! daruiu' as granny d i," she said in an undertone. "I jest had ter cut them heels swang out, an' now I'm gwyne do hit ail over." She slipped a .tiny gourd into the sock and Ugan to draw the threads to an fro acro-ss it. The blaxe, rsl and yellow, and with elusive purple gleams, h-ap-d up the thim-i'-y; the sap w:ls still in the wood and sting a song of summer, but an autumn wind wils blowing shrilly, and one could hear the sibilant rush of the dead leav-s on tiie blast. The window and door rattled as though a hand were on the latch, while the dogs snored Ni!eat!i the house or bumped a restless head or liack against the floor. The men si lently ruminated for their tobacco or smoked passively, making no resjionse to the girl's cheerful efforts at conver sation. Tiie old woman was dozing, Iter head in the big flopping sunbonnet bowing from side to side grotesquely or drooping upon her chi-st in a helpless fashion. "Cranny's about p.-tcr.-d out," oIh served Liz, putting the sock aside and rousing the old creature. Her bunk was in a corner of the living room, and withs-aot preparations she was soon occupying it, smiting audibly and fiv- b'y, after the manner of the very aged. Liz's couch occupied the loft aiove and after making her grandmother comfortable ftr the night, she quickly :md with a great deal of agility disip- Iieared up the ladder. I'p there slit- did a curious t'ting. Removing her ;t homespun skirts she crept close to the hole that she had just ascended through and, hidden in the black shad ow, iccr-d intently down at the three men sitting U-low. The hickory logs were now broke in twain as they burned, and there was only a dull red glow of tho emVr.s on their rugged faces, the room was full of brown shadows, motionless now that the flames flared no more. Once when th- r-.- !gl c.v greying ever dinrn T seemed almost submerged tn-ncath tin- gray tches Ike leaned over and stirred the coals. They renewed glimm-T sur prised an eager inquiry in the faces of the three men. The old man leaned forward, much in the same p;isition his aged mother hud assumed, his head dr-oped for ward, and his elbows resting on his knees "Whilst I wus down terth' station," he annotiiuvd without pref ace or introduction to the subject. "word 1'iiiiL' tiiet the R.ishiv .-till had done bin raided, an' iP Pap Ruslve an' Einathau had bin cat.

"Thar was three o' eni," Ike said. "Th' one w hat took th' lead, him that cyarri.il th' IS.isbjcs ter th' station au' another feller. He w"os done hit, too, Elisha Jenkins seed hit, an' him a streakin hit titoo' th pass up this ser way on his boss critter."

Liz drew back from the hole, and t icre was a suppressed energy in her noiseless step as she sought her couch. I knowed hit," she told her triumph- adtlv. "I knowed thar was som.-thin' witen I s.itl that ar ol' tustk--b:tck Crimby a slopin' 'Umt tiie still. Rut pipan't gwine ter f.xd with him, I Mow. He's done had trouble a-plciity-a-ready," and Li, fell into a troubhsl sleep revolving in her busy mind fruit less scheims whereby she could keep father and brothers from complicity- in what she knew to In- a meditated crime. All day three men had leeii away, leaving home Ivfore the wiiite mists ha 1 showed signs of lifting from the mountain. Liz had prepared the m.-als as usii il, b'lt still they came not, and then the girl went on a little trip of in vestigation. Down one side of am iuii t tin, acr-.tss a r.x-ky stream anil up the nth. t side, si i e sped swiftly to a well hid leu place in the r.x-k. Parting the laurel she entered the still, but na one was th re. Tiie tire had been sm itlu-r-e I, but all remained as usa il. Skirting the m tuutain Liz cattle oat on the s'.iores of a deep, silent little lake, but n t fisherman's bo.it ru.'lie-l its black bosom. Liz shaded her eyes with her hands, scanning the water as far a.s she could see, but no trace of them could b-e seen ; they clearly were away on some business she knew nothing about. Meanwhile the old man and his two sturdy sons were tramping up tiie miry mountain trail homeward. Down at the station where they had spent the day great excitement prevailed. Three large cllicit stills had Itecn raided, one of the owner's captured and sent in irons to Clarksville, one Deputy Mar shal killed and other wounded and hiding somewhere in the mountains, while many of the mountaineers, stil lers also, but as yet undisturbed, tied at the first intimation of danger. Feeling ran high among those w ho, thinking themselves secure, had remained at home, and old man HoyJ, Liz's father, his two sons and several others had pledged themselves to hunt the hiding deputy and if caught make an example of him such as would appal the heart of any deputy who should ever think of 1 venturing into that region again. Tin se : men were not necssnrily bloodthirsty i....t i .i.t.. inn sua,c, uui nicy regar.ieu me tin r ference of a revenue otlieer in their business of making moonshine whi-fcy as unjust and unwarranted. Did they n t plant the corn, tend it, make the mash and distil the liquor with their own hands? It was as mii'-h the pro duct of their own lalmr and industry as was the corndodgers they ate, and as such they regarded it. "What's mini's mini," said one of them, "an the law nought as well stick hit to us fer makiu' Masses outeii our tuna or im-al ottten our corn. Hit's all the anit', as fur as I kin .sv. And this w;ls tiie view taken by a'i, conse quently the little illicit stills are set up in great iiumUrsJn crannies and cracks of the mountains. They thrive and flourish utitil a I'nited States Marsha! gets intimation of their existence ; then trouble licginsand more often than not many lives are lost in the f ght that ensues, for the moonshiner Ulieves himself but doing his duty to himself and neighlxirs when a revenue spy or Marshal is put out of the way. The little cabin on the mou.i! tin was lo.-t among the clouds. It was not yet day, but the old man and his two sons were already tt-tir, jioli-liing the glit tering barrels o' their ritles until they shone again, and stowing ammunition al'Ut tluir jk-rsotis as though making ready fir a great hunt. They had scareily left the cabin, dis-apK-aring in the thick mist, ere Liz descended from her little room in the loft. She had donned a short iiom sptin skirt, and buttoned a'-out her I sly an outgrown coat belonging to her younger brother, pulling over her head au old slouch hat, its broad flapping brim pinmil hack out of her eyes with a sotirwoiid thorn. Before leaving the cabin she dressed and uncovered the emliers, putting on a few chip that that were spread on tiie hearth to dry, ever mindful of the old woman depend ant oti her care ; then she slipped from the cabin, softly closing the door. A big yellow and black hound ran from Ircneath the house, smiling alout her feet as though he,, too, scented a proceeding very much out of tin ordi nary. The nati had taker a trail down the mountain. Liz saw them through a cranny in the gable end of the cabin as she hastily dressed, and site took an opposite direction, remem bering the print of a horse's ho-ifs she had seen the day 'oefore, but had taken no particular notice of them at the time. Rnishing through the laurel, al most in sight of the cabin and quite within hailing di-laiis, Liz came iqion a sight that ulmo-t unnerved her, hardy daughter of the mountains though she was. I town in a little gorge tiiat served for the lied of a stream in rainy weather a man was lying, his face buried in the tender gnvn noss and ferns. The dew lay heavy on his rather long curling hair and on his clothes, the latter spot t -d and s'ained w ith bIod. Liz let tiie bushes fall back in place and -to-l lo iking down at I. ha scarcely know ing what to do. Surely he mu-t li-e dead after a night in such a storm. Lilting him in her strong arms Liz turned him over and U-gan to rub his hands and lace w ith a pungent, pearly liquid tiketl from the p n-ket of her coat. Ever ami anon she would paue to let a few drops trickle down the man's throat. For many moments .-he work ed until nearly all of the supply of whisky was exhausted and still no signs of life appeared. Then another idea came to Liz. Taking otf her old slouch hat she brought it full of ice c ild water from the stream and U-gan to p inr it also over his face. The I.t-t remedy proved successful, for soon the man Ivgan to breathe and presently iq-eneil his eyes Tiie two people looked at eae'.i other curiously for a moment and then Liz asked, a tritlle diffidently, "Is you tins hurt bad?" Tiie stranger trail to raise himself to a sitting losture, but fell back ower less "I'm afraid I am a little hurt," he admitted, smilingly feebly. "You is titer rovetioo what got away yistiday down at ther station. Whar's "yer boss?" "I don't know," he answered her last question, ignoring the half scorn ful assertion. "I fell from him last night in the storm and knew nothing until now. "Wall, pap an' Ike an' Jim, them Crimbys an' Jenkinses are all a scon' in ther mounting an' th' cove fer yer, an' I Mow ef they gits yer ther gwyne mak-e minchmeat er yer sun null'. Tney uns got up U-fo day ter d hit, an' I Mow them Crimbys are pow'l'ul sn.;riors." The man looked at her in sileiieeand Liz continued : "I don't want pap and ther Wiys t -r git mixed up in them Crimbys' scrapes, so I'm gw ine t.-r hide you unsawhilst an' when th y is done a-h'.iuliti' yer mayle yer kin slip oft an' git home ter whar yer bMong." "I a:n very grateful indee I, for I have no desire to figure as the princi pal ingredient of 'miiich meat." Liz regarded him donbtfuiiy a mo ment and (Inn disappeared abruptly through Die laurel whence she had come. Tiie old woman, with the char acteristic of age for early rising, was already astir when she returned to the cabin. She had already donned her sunlionnet and the timid blaze that U tau to steal up east her gigantic shad ow half upon the brown and yellow dau'ned wall, half upon the black ceil ing, making a specious stir amid the strings of seed corn and peltry hanging there. She stared for a moment as if paralyzed at the girl's sudden entrance, and her pipe fell from her mouth scat tering the tire and tobacco over the hearth. "I bin out ter th' I -am," Liz ex plained. "OP Topknot keni otren th' nest with a big luttch of decdies Them shells was chipjHil yistiddy, au' I Mow ed they'd le out soon as day kem." Liz was telling only a -art of the truth, and the old granny smoked in silence, watching her granddaughter's deft preparations for an early meal. Not many moments passed before Liz was back at the cranny among the laurel thicket. She carried a thick home made quilt au 1 a jug of steaming hot I "I AQ OL "WHOLE XO. 2201. liquid, which she i-xplahied was a "yarb tea." The nflbvr quickly recog j iiized the foundation of the mixture as , a strong "toddy," and swallowed it i with confnl.-nit. (Quickly gathering a ! quantity -of ferns, Liz spr.tid them into a comfortable Nil, using theqtiiit for a , covering. "You uns '11 U: warm a- plenty out slier les. cn bit rains, an' I'll stv you git vittles, an unless th' dawgs lind yer vr is safe twcl yer kill git away." Fr three days the inonntaiuecr and his sons wcr-e als ut from the cabin, Liz meanwhile tending the wounded oIli'iT with what skill site knew. It reintitiai! dry and the bracing moun tain air did more tit heal a slight though inconvenient wound than much medicine would have done. He w:is sis. n able to move from his lair in the guilty, sitting about in the sun shine or walking a short distance under cover of darkness, always -careful that old pap or the lys were safely out of tiie way and there was no j-ssible chance of discovery. One evening after dark Liz came to him w ith the customary draught and frugal supn-r. She was much later than usual and much cxcitnl. Placing the crock containing the f-od ami the jug of drink near by, she turned to liuve without a word. Then, as though changing her jmrpose, she turusd luiek hastily and crouching near, whispered: "Pap ati' the Imys kem home jess now an' they uns done fotin' yer boss an' brttng. Mm artong, an' Mow you uns inns' lie Mout soiu'mers, sovimI Is-tter j.-ss lay low." The old mail and his sons, after Ik tit ing down the mountain nio-t carefully, had lvn rewarded by tind.iig t!ie otVict-r's horseqtiietly brow sing among tiie luxuriant uiiiU rgrowtii. Nothing had It-en ss n ;f the rider in any of the villages or by any oftlie mouii?:iinti-rs Ittwi-en, and they de cided he mu.-t It either d'-ad or in hiding somevvhen- :ilve llietn. "Ef he we done daid," .iraw'.nl Ike, "th blizzards tld done tole Us by now, all' I ain't seed no oiieomtltoli lot er 'cm a-sai!i:i' 'In mt slier, nohow." -Wr a night's rest the three set out to sco i the upper niuntry, h aving the horse safely stallnl at the cabin. Liz watched tiiein go with siippress-'d ex citement, treiiil.hng lest the victim should tie discovered sheltered and f -d so tear their own hearthstone through tlce treachery of one they so relied on. The danger was past : a U-nd in the tortuous mountain trail hid them from view, and the girl breathed freely. At first Liz had taken no p:iins to conceal her contempt for the revenue spy, as suring him that her solicitude for his safety was all on her father's account, j "I don't want pap ner th bys mith-T j ter git inter no mo' scrap.-s. Pap In-j done bin took otiet w hen we all w as : let tle, an' we uns com-.' a-mighty nigh J a it-rishin'. Thar's granny an' me, not ter count tharese'fs," she had ex plained, but in the last day or two white the m-en were away she see-u-il to grow a little nearer to him. Sitting i-ne evening on a bowlder near him she be gan to talk quite freely. "Thar's some folks we can't hate, no matter what they L-," she said, "an' I reckon you Mowed you was .loin right ; 'tain't far m -to say. Hit come to me all of a sad lent what I would d .

"I promise," he said readily. "You have acted nobly by me, and m iy ! fl pani-h me if I betray yoarc t.ili I -:i -." Liz left hini alone wita his o.vn tlio-.tghts until the gray of the next m truing, when s!i. sto.t.1 suddenly be fore him- Toe parting of the laurels r i.ning him front a light uneasy sltitn b r. "I bin athiukin," she said, "that you uns mougtit's well start this momin' as a waitin' twcl night- You kin be to John-win's by that time, an' atcryoti passes that yon is safe. Hit lo iks like I was a runniti' yeraw.iy, b it bit's a heap th' Kst you'd be gwyne." The olltccr ass-nted readily. He had but one thought, to escajie fr.iin his strange position as soon as possible, lie shuddered at the thought of another day spent in the dreary solitude like "a wounded fox in his hole," he told himself grimly. He was very weak ami still sore from his wound, but thoughts of escape buoyed him up until be scarcely felt the pain. He stood up, walking eagerly backward and forward in his limited space of clearing, pecriiisr anxiously through the laurel for Liz's return. She came presently and in vited him to follow her, leading him by adevioiLs rough path jutst the cabin tta tumble-down stable in the rear. "Your boss Is done ready, an' don't furgit ter do jest like I tol' you an' you'll git thoo all right" She held out her hand and the officer raised it reverently to his Hps at which unaccustomed gallantry a burning blush overspread her face and neck.
