cided to keep him horo. Here Is wher
Gupld scored bis first point, for while
Manley was waiting for trial Llisie,
the sheriff's daughter, became greatly
interested in him. '
After ho had been sentenced, Man
ley becamo a trusty, which Jail dis
tinction Is attained by nearly all moon
shiners, for their word Is a matter oJ
honor with these mountaineers, and'
any sheriff feels safe in allowing them,
to havo a reasonable amount of lib
erty. In thin particular case the sher
iff was doubly oafe though he didn't
know it in letting Manley have tho
freedom of tho promisee, for by the
time his trial was ovor Manloy
couldn't havo boen driven away from
tho Joy of basking in Miss Lizzie's
smiles.

ting around being mostly done In the
vicinity of tho kitchen door, wherel
glimpses of Miss Lizzie were eastlyi
to be had.
One morning Sheriff Gilbert missed,
his daughter, but ho did not worry
thinking sho had probably gone to
spond the day with relatives In the;
country. During the day he did not)
notlco Tom Manley, but Tom waft
such a trusty fellow the sheriff did)
not worry until timo came that even
ing to lock him up for tho night
Even then he did not pay much atten
tion to his absence
Tho noxt morning the situation ap-'
peared differently to tho sheriff, for a
telegram camo from Murry county
the homo of Manley. It was from the
sheriff's daughter, and read; "Torn,
and I aro married. Ho wants to come
back and make his word good."
Now, as has been said, "moonsbta
Ing" In Oeorgla Involves no moral'
turpitude, and, as that was the only,
thing against Manley, tho sheriff ac
cepted tho situation philosophically.
Manloy was accompanied back to
Jail by a cavalcado of 50 klnfolk a4
frlendB, all of them proud of him for
winning a wlfo under adverse elreua
stances, and proud of the bride ier
stealing her father's prisoner. ,
