THE MOXSHIXKK'S P.S1UL. .
cnii II oicii In Xew Uiltaui llmt-Icinncnit.
The sun mink hohliul the western
inoHiittiln peaks nnd tlio shoit twilight
of bouthoi'ii latitudes e-aino on apace- .
After ti tlino the- man of the1 hwiso catno
in. Ho was tall ami thin. Two fet-rot-
like eyes leunied ihiii-ply upon tlio ped
dler ftoin titnitl u Hliijrg ! $ ttinylo ofliito
hair und boui'd.
Ho placed his lonjj fllle in a rnuk o\of
the door , nnshniK1 his Hhot-pouch and
then seated himself and fjjt/cd gloomily
into the 111 \\ithont % onelibaUntr either
a grouting to the stranger nv uvoid to
liisoun family. Nan , passiny byvhis -
1'oied to the peddler :
"Don't je mind nnelo : he's not ono of
his bad spells on now , but If ho uin't
bothoiod it'll pass olT by and by. ' '
The peddler nodded and bojfan a tale
ono of his athontnies in
Te\as. lie was hoon intei'i'Uted ] b.\ Aunt
Vmoy. "Sit up , uti anger1 said wlie.
" \\ro hain't got nmeh to eat , but snuh as
it is jou'io welcome. "
Tlic old man nto his biippeiin solemn
silence , after \\liieh ho took his hat and
abruptly left the cabin. Aunt Vinci
lit to explain.
"Mose , my old man , hain't been exactly
like hisself since the levcnoo men car
ried his son John oil live jeai'b ago last
April. "
" 'Stillin' Impose ? "
"Yes , 'lid top of that we shot ono of
'em while they were trjin'to take him
'nd they put him in pcn'tensh'ry at
Nashville for ten j cats. "
The peddler lomained silent for a
moment or two. But when the dishes
weio washed and put away he again
entertained 1 ho two women by relating
sundry leminifceoneos of his own career
and also describing the \vomloi.s of
eei tain gre.tt cities ho had visited.
After awhile Mo o again stalked
silently in and took a seat in a far coi nor.
While the peddler talked he continued
toojo him eloholy as if suspicious that
the stutnger was not just what ho
bliould he.
"Speakin' of the telephone , " continued
the peddler , "somo folks in thc o moun
tains don't believe that pcoplo can talk
to each other 'nd them 100 or moro
inileb apart , but 1 toll ye it'b a faet. I've
beed it done myself. "
"I've know'd of men hollorin' across
from ono mountain to another , " MI id
Aunt Vinoy , dubiously. "Mobbo they
could inako themselves heard a mutter
of two miles , but 100 " She shook her
head dibapprovingly.
"It's so all the bamo , though. I've sot
'd heard'em ' . ' ' "
t.ilkin'jus'as wo be now.
"That's as big a lie as o\or was told , "
exclaimed old Moso , rising and making
for the door.
Ho sei/ed his ride as ho passed , throw
a menacing glance at the peddler and
once mot o left the cabin.
"Olo man's n little touched in tlio
head , ain't lie ? " asked the peddler , who
seemed to take no offense whatever at
the old man's rude behavior.
"Evor since John was took off he's had
queer spoils that eomo over him now and
then. I must say lie's mor'n apt to bo
'splshiib of strangers w hen they como
mound. IIo's always think'n' ' of revo-
nee spies. I dcssay that's what makes
him act bo toward you. But you mtibtn't
mind hjm. I never know ed him to suc
ceed in liurtin' any ono yet. "
It was Nan who replied , for Aunt
Vinoy was making preparations to ictiro
for the night. When the girl and the
peddler were left alonotho latter beenied
somewhat cuiious about this bon John ,
who for so many years had been under
the ban of the law.
"John was always good to Uncle Moso
and Aunt Vinoy'nd that's ono icason
Uncle Mo < .o takes it all so hard now. "
"I s'poso , boin' as you're kin to 'em ,
jou must a felt powerful sad when they
took him olT. "
Ho oycd Nan closely as ho spoke and
the girl blushed slightly.
"I ain't no real kin to "em , " she said.
"My lolks is all dead 'nd they raibed mo
from a little gal , but John 'ml me was
always good friends. "
"Nothin'moio'r1"
The girl looked at him icprovingly.
"It's about bedtims , " bald she coldly.
"Sha'n't I show you where you'io to
sleep ? "
The peddler ro = c , took up his pack
and followed her into the little bhed
loom. There was an open window by
the bed , tinough which tho""Tull moon
was shining.
' You won't need no light , I reckon , "
she icmarked. Then , bidding him good'
night , she retained to the main cabin
and went to bed hot-self.
But for homo ictibon she failed to
hleop. Tlio bright moonlight , the rasp
ing cry of katjdids from the ttecs with
out and the discomfot ting nature of hot-
thoughts kept her awake. She felt
Miguoly uneasy about Uncle Mobc.
Whoio was ho ? Very likclj at the lit
tle moonshine still up Bear hollow , half
a milo away. Ho often spent the nights
there engaged in his illicit toil. She re
membered his unfriendly treatment of
the peddler , whoso hca\y bieathing
could now bo heard through the thin
partition wall. Ho had once lain in
wait , rillo in hand , for a passing dtovor ,
whom ho had t-ot downier a bpy. Only
Aunt Vinoy's prompt appearance had
pi evented a probable minder. Unolo
Mohe , though a good man enough when
in his right mind , was u dangoiouu , un
certain personage when stirted by the
memory of his son into u spirit of half-
insane hostility against all the world.
So uneasy did Nan hjcoino that at last
she robe , slipped on her dress and btolo
out into the moonlight. An impulbo she
could not control impelled her to peep in
at the peddler's open window. She was
prompted by an indefinable fear. What
nho saw thoio caused her to start back ,
clasp her hands and gasp for breath.
Thru , ttembling in every limb , she
looked again.
"My Ciod ! " she faltered , "Am I
dreainln' ? Surely it can't bo , 'ml yet I
must bollovo my own ejes. "
Acting under a now impulse , she
tut tied and lied along thotiail leading
to the Htill. Arrived there , bhe found
the place silent and deserted. There
was no lire in the furnace and nothing
to be heard but theories of the whippoorwills -
poor-wills upon the mountain bide.
Full of painful forebodings , she re
traced her steps and once moio crouched
beneath the peddler's window. There
plio wnltctl until hop llmf * bocoino
orntnpcd J und the nljjht nlr chilled her to
the t bono.
"I tnltflittis well Ho down nffiitn , " tb t \ \
; thoiifrht. "I I'oukon tinoloV 170110 dov\u

dtissii't. IJo inlfjht think I was foi-watd. "
Hut it Hccond trltil of the bed wns no
Itottop tliiiu the Ih'Mt. The peddler's
heavy bi'outhtn VMIS ever In hoi1 eiirn ,
and hep thoughts rovoi'ted constantly to
the seniso of peril that vaguely , yet jief-
slstontly kept hoi- upon the tendorhooks
of anxiety.
" 1 wish moniln' would eonie , " she wild

she heat'd it no mote. Could she ha\o
iiiniffined It all ? No ; thoto it was again
in the back porch.
Then then she heard n jjcntlo , creak-

She entered tlio room. Thete laj the
lieddlopslumbering hunxilvln tlio white
glow of the moonlight. Ills fuco was
stiaugely alteiod , for tlio heavy bc.u d
had 1 fallen oil. leaving exposed a clean
shaven , . \outlifiil face. Hut the whito-
beaided old in.iu , bending ever the pun-
Irate form with uplifted knife , saw noth
ing distinctly. To his morbid imagin
ings only the form of a hated np\ la }
helpless befoto him. A spy in the s0i-
\ ice of the detested "revenoos. " who had
tobbed him of his onlj and \\oll-bolo\ud
son.
"Uncle ! " set earned Nan , dragging him
back. "Uncle1 You shall not ! Can't jou
see ? It's John out John your John' ' "
The peddler woke und stated upward
in a buwildoied \ . The knife fell to
the Hoop as Mose , his ejes almost start
ing fiom his head , stated at his son's
white face. Suddenly ho eoinpiehended
and the oiled descended upon him like a
thunderbolt.
Uttoting n low , quivering ery , he sank
to his knees by the bedside and his head
fell forwatd. Nan's and John's o es met
in a mutually iccogni/ing glance ; then
they turned their attention to the old
man. As thoj laid him upon the bed
Aunt Vinoy , awakened by the noise ,
eamo in. She fell b.tek as though con
fronted ba ghost.
"John ! ' bho exclaimed. "Vet it can't
sinolybo ! "
"Yes , it is , mother. I didn't know-
how jon'dall take mj bcin' so long in
the pen , so when the govoinor patdoned

dler 'nd in disguise till I found out if you
all cared for mo anj more. "
While John was speaking Moso opened
his ojes and teats blinded thorn as ho
ga/cd.
" .My son ! My on ! ' ho nmrmmed ,
brokenly. "Aijd I might have killed
him ! My mind's made up. Tliote'll bo
no moio 'stillin' done in Heap holler
after this. "
"Do you reckon Nan cares for me any
more , father ? " asked John , while his
ejes bought these of Nan.
"Of course Him do. Hasn't bho been
griovin' herself away ever since you was
took ? She never looked ut another
man. "
Nan's confusion seemed to sanction
this.

"Tlioro's only ono thing to bo done , "
interposed Aunt Vinoy' , decisively.
"Thoy'vo just got to go ever to the cir
cuit rider's next Sunday 'nd git married.
After Unit's ever 'nd done with , Mose , I
hope you'll behave yourself in futur' . "
"Hain't I said I wcton't a-goin to 'still
whisky any moio ? " said Moso.
" 'Stillin's been ut the bottom of all our
troubles. "

Nun's hand in his and they bteulthily
kisbed each other.
