About two miles offshore, to the northwest, a green light shone Uke a colored star, with a white light a lit tle above—at about the height of the Kcbo s masthead. And while he looked the two moved and swung round, until r ■ saw not only green and white, but the red port light as well, all moving steadily toward the island. CHAPTER XX. la fcis arms {Catherine moved with a st..led moan of weariness, a gasp, and then a stiffening of her body tit b t'lid him that she was now wide desperation. Coast sent a piercing whistle echoing over the waters. Immediately, at the pistol shot, th« Echo swerved sharply off to the west, her red side light disappeared; and for a full minute held on so before she swung smartly on her heel and showed first the green and then the red, bear ing straight as an arrow for the end of the sand spit. On the island, at the same, the re sults of the report (which, when the j catbcat came about, was followed by : lour others in brisk succession) were no less marked. Down the wind from the bungalow floated a wild chorus of shouts and calls. In its vicinity half a dozen twinkling lights studded the darkness on the uplands, springing to life as if by magic, and were whisked hither and thither like so man;- will-o'-the-wlsps. suggesting a stupid, hajf-distracted ferment of con flicting trflvice, argument and wills among the smugglers. Presently, however, some sort of order was evi dently evolved; the lights converged to a common center and bore swiitiy down toward the beach. . . . Coast put down the lantern on the swelling, rounded summit of a small dune, and took the steamer rug from Katherine, mechanically folding it as he divided troubled attention between f the nearing boat and the distant rab | b!e—now streaming headlong down 1 through the Cold Hairs and shouting as they came. "No more need for this.” he said, re ferring to the rug; "the light won't ; tell them anything they don't know, now. But ..." His perturbed voice trailed off irresolutely as be stood, a frowning glance directed down the beach. Katherine was quick to catch the note of worry in his tone. "What is | it?" she asked. "You're not afraid— i you don’t think—” 1 "No.” he reassured her stoutly; Scrre Sort of Order Wac Evidently Evolved. awake wed mistress of her wits, ia full i turn prehension of their position “ Katherine—" j “What is It?" “The Keho— Appleyard. 1 think—I'm , re lie'll he here ic just a few min e- *en or fifteen; and you must help tne show the light.” , “Help me up," Ehe said ia a de 1 ..ected \ nice. He lose and took her hands, lifting her to her ieet. With one thought up perm ist in both minds, they tinned to ward the sea. Off to the northwest the red port and white masthead lights of the cat boat were slipping briskly shorewards —the green no longer islble—stand :r.g in ior the beach where the long boat lay. A groan escaped Coast “Oh. tae devil’." he said beneath his oreatb. exaggerated; and aloud, half fraaucally. 'Hurry! He’s taking the o ner light for my signal. Here"— grabbed up the steamer's rug and i arus: it ui;'eremoniously into Katb j er ne's hand—"hold this so. to hide it ::ora the beach, while ! light the lan , tern." Vi h agonizing slowness the min ute* sped, and still the boat held on direc’ly for the beach below the Cold Lairs. Then abruptly the watcher by the long boat awakened to its ap proach. apparently for the first time, .ind s j ; tided the alarm by firing a shot from his revolver. A second later, in | "they're much loo far away to catch ; us now. Only—hark to that!” There was. in fact, a strange and i sinister sound in the yelping of the gang; their cries were indistinguish able. but owned a dull, level pitch of minatory rage, infinitely perturbing, i since it seemed so senseless—like the ! harsh and inarticulate snarling ot an i infuriated lunatic. A shiver shot along Coast’s spine. He found the woman, trembling, had moved close to his side. “What does it mean?” “1 don't know,” he said—-“sounds like a pack of starving wolves. . . . No matter; it can't concern us. In two minutes . . The Echo had drawn near enough for the noise of the motor to be per ceptible: she was moving under pow er only, her sail down but not furled, hanging in stiff and clumsy folds in the lazy-jacks. He could even see the tender trailing astern, and make out a single figure at the wheel. . . . Then the latter bobbed down out of sight for an instant, and the purring of the engine was abrupted. There fol lowed the splash of the anchor, and the little vessel brought up quickly, swinging wide to face the wind. With a warning cry Katherine stepped quickly away from Coast and swung round, whipping out her small but effective pearl-handled revolver. "Stop;” she cried in a vibrant voice. “Halt, or I'll fire!" CTO BE COXTIXCED.) Finding the Comstock Lode Far Reaching Results of the Rich Strike of Silver Made in June. 1859. 9 “You've struck It boys." Thus said ! Henry Paige Comstock to Peter ! O'Riley and Patrick McLaughlin, who were his fellow prospectors in a search I for gold In Six Mile canyon, now the present Virginia City, the capital of Nevada. The date was Jane 10. 1853. In that remote spot in the American wilder ness, by these three obscure men, was made on that day a discovery destined to affect the current of American pol j lties for a score of years. sayB a writer i in the Atlantic Monthly, and to have for long a disturbing influence on the | 1 world's finances. The thing which was “struck" on that Jane day at 1859 was the vein cov ering what came to be known as the ! Comstock lode, la which were hidden j the richest deposits of silver ever found anywhere on the globe. Their development, years afterward, simul taneously with that of thO silver mines of Colorado, started the downward flood in the price of silver, which broke the old ratio between the moDey metals, changed the monetary system of the leading nations from the double to the single gold standard; incited the movement beginning in 1877, un der the leadership of Richard P. Bland, for the reopening of the mints in sil ver on the same terms as to gold; led hence to the passing of the Blandh Allison limited silver-coinage law of 1S7S and to that of the Sherman sll ver-buliion-deposit act of 1890; and was the issue which split the two great parties and made havoc among the smaller ones in 1896. resulting in the act of 1900. which gave statutory recognition to the gold standard in the United States. HAT IS the geneal ogy of the clan of the "fighting Al lens?" What are the racial strains and what the physi cal and social en vironment that have combined to produce this race of fearless fight ers that has terror ized Carroll county. Virginia. The question is an interesting one entirely apart from the academic the ories of heredity. It is a question thou sands of law abiding Americans doubt less have asked since the commission at Hillville of one of the most aston ishing acts in the criminology of a civ ilized country. No man is better qualified to an swer the question than Judge David W. Bolen. He ''s a leader of the Car roll county bar, was a delegate to the Virginia state consolidation conven tion, and Is one of the most thorough students of Virginia history to be found within the borders of the Old Do minion. A neighbor of the Allens from boyhood, their attorney and coun sellor in many of their civil and crim inal bouts with the law, he has per sonally known the Allen clansmen of three generations. As counsel for Floyd Allen, he stood beside his client when the latter open , ed fire upon the court officers and jury, and Judge Bolen himself narrow ly escaped death from the bullets in tended for the convicted man. He es caped by prostrating himself upon the court room floor until the rain of lead had spent itself. It is not without reason that the Carroll county Allens are referred to as the members of a clan. The first of their forbears who settled In this vicinity in Colonial times came of Scotch-Irish stock—a strain often ol sterling worth, but ever with a touch of clannish family pride, and usually with more than a touch of pug nacity, impatience of restraint and fighting courage. In Revolutionary days what is now Carroll was Montgomery county, Vir ginia. One of the members of the Montgomery county militia who left his plow and his ax to march across the Blue Ridge in time to take part in the battle of Guilford Court House, N. C-, was William Allen. The militia detachment marched across the Ridge by way of the Fancy Gap road, the same thoroughfare over which armed scouts have been scurrying to and fro in search of this Revolutionary sol dier's scion, on whose head the out raged law has out a price. As William Alien inarched to battle he observed that the rolling land on the far side of the Fancy Gap was at tractive. When the Revolutionary war was over he and one of his fellow sol diers settled there and so the Allens became established in the quarter which they have ruled ever since like feudal barons. Tradition says William Allen was a good soldier. He was destined to be the progenitor of many good soldiers. He had two sons, only one of whom, William Allen. Jr., concerns this nar rative, for the second, William, was i the father of two sons, Bailey Aden j and William Carr Alien. Bailey Allen had four sons—Lemuel, William. Carr and Bailey Allen. _r. Of the four three were gallant soldiers in the Confederate service during the i Civil war. Lemuel was killed In a charge during the second battle of Bull Run, or, as is generally desig nated in the south, the Battle of Manassas. William, who was a pri vate in the same company, saw his brother fall, paused long enough to ; lift his stricken form and to note that he was dead, and then went on in the charge upon the Union position. Carr Alien survived four years of active service. He was a soldier whose dash, courage and gallantry were uniformly praised by his officers.

Of the four sons of Bailey Alien the black sheep of the family was Bailey. Jr. Judge Bolen was called upon to defend him against numerous criminal charges, and he was finally sentenced to a long term in the state peniten tiary for housebreaking and burglary. iiliam Carr Allen, the other son of the second William Allen, was the father of Jeremiah. Robert and John. Jeremiah also was a loyal soldier in the army of the south. He married the daughter of one of the most fa mous of the old trappers of the Blue Ridge mountains. "Uncle Billy” Combs. The Confederate veteran and the I laughter of the old trapper raised a ' large family of boys. Their sons were Anderson, who died a few years, ago after having served as a member of | the Virginia Reserves during the last 'ten months of the war; Washington, who was killed by the fall of a tree; ; % ictor. who is the highly respectable and respected keeper of a country store a few miles from Hillsville; Gar land. who is a preacher among the 1 Primitive Baptists; Floyd, whose re , fusai to accept sentence of impriscn ; me^t caused the Hillsville massacre; j Jasper, generally called “Jack.” whose son Freel is the youngest of the clans men cow imprisoned on charges of conspiracy and murder, and finally Sidna Allen, who is regarded not only as the most wealthy, but also as the master mind of the clan. A sister of the seven sons of Jere miah Ailen is Mrs. Edwards (now Mrs. Mundy), whose sons by her first hus band were Sidna and Wesley Ed wards. the first of whom surrendered himself to his uAcle “Jack.” while Wesley preferred to share the hard ships of the mountains with his uncle Sidna. The ether members of the younger generation who are directly involved in the Millsville affair are Claude and Victor, who are the sons of Floyd Allen, and Freel Ailen. who Is the son of “Jack.” “A study of the genealogical tree of the Allens,” said one who knows them well, "shows that, while many of the clan have been fighting men. it is only those of the present generation who I have been what is commonly known as gun fighters. Old Jeremiah was a hard fighter even after the war was over, but he fought with his fists. “All of the seven sons of ‘Jerry’ Al len were men of strong personality and of fierce, imperious temper, but Anderson. Washington. Victor and Garland learned the important les sons of restraint and self control, while Floyd. ’Jack’ and Sidna have never brooked restraint nor tolerated opposition. “To students or heredity it might be interesting to speculate to what ex- : tent the soldier strain of the Allen family was tinctured by less noble, | more primitive influences engrafted into it from the maternal side. The mother of the seven Allens who are the middle aged men of the present generation was the daughter of *Uncle Billy’ Comb3, the toughest old woodsman and trapper known to the history or traditions of the Carolina mountain border. ’Uncle Billy died at the age of 104. “He tramped the mountain fastness- 1 es habitually in his bare beet, the heels and soles of which had become so calloused and hooflike that he thought nothing of killing diamond back rattlers by tramping upon them. | “Like other mountaineers of his day. ’Undo Billy’ not only trapped or : shot the wild beasts of the mountain, selling their pelts, bat he made a re spectable income by domesticating the wild boney bees and b^ raising droves - of mountain hogs, which, until the ad vent of warm weather, would run wild snd fatten upon the chestnuts and : acorns of the forests." Judge Bolen remembers “Uncle Billy” Combes in bis later years. “1 recall,” said the lawyer, “that he once ! showed me a spot on the mountain j "'kere a panther had leaped out from cover and seized one of his mountain hogs as his prey. ‘Uncle Billy’ went to his cabin, got his dogs out and then summoned one or two of his nearest neighbors. For two days and nights they stalked the panther, until the dogs finally ran the beast Into a tree j where ‘Uncle Billy shot it and skinned it for its pelt." “Uncle Billy” Combes stood six feet three inches tall and was mnscled like a lion. He always wore buckskin | breeches and a fur trimmed round about jacket. On his bead a coonskin cap was poised rakishly, and until his death, about 45 years ago, he never was seen without his shot pouch and powder horn. “Uncle BUly," though phenomenal ly strong, was a peaceable man among his fellows, and died much beloved and respected. His son “Jed," how ever. endowed with much of his fa ! thers physique, was a noted bully ol the mountainside. “Jed" had met and conquered many rivals, but he had never tried conclusions with Ike Beam er. Ike was, like “Jed," a giant in strength and with sinews of steel, but Ike was neither quarrelsome nor am ; bitious to shine as a bully. “Jed” de i term In ed to force him to fight, trump ed up some imaginary debt and went to Ike under pretense of collecting it j “Jed” knew it probably would give him the opening he and his satellites had been craving. Ike listened calm ly. Then he remarked: “Jed, you know i I don’t owe you no such sum. but folks is saying I do owe yon a tolerable good thrashing. Are you prepared to col lect that debt, too?" “Jed” needed no urging. The two mountaineers went at it, and tradition says it was a battle of giants. Time and again the men, evenly matched, had to cease from sheer exhaustion. Then they clutched each other while they panted for breath. It doubtless would have been fought to a finish, | but friends of Beamer interfered. Neither man had “squealed." Ac j cording to the mountaineer code of pu | gillsm, it had been a drawn fight ; Beamer had lost the index finger of j his right hand, which “Jed" Combes I had worried in his teeth until he chew ed it off at the middle joint. Ike had j thrust his thumbs so remorselessly into “Jed's" eye sockets that the bully was ; blinded, and did not regain hi3 sight 1 until weeks afterward. ARTIST AND COURTIER, TOO The painter is likely to be brusque, j Even when be possesses a bit of tact. he is not wont to waste it on "Philis i tines”—even if they are customers and persons of distinction. No such charge, however, can be brought against an eighteenth-century painter named Chandler. He was commissioned by William IV. to paint the attack commanded by the sovereign, when Duke of Clar ence, on a fortress on the Spanish i coast. The attack took place at night, and with the view of relieving the somber veil of midnight, the artist took the liberty of introducing sea gulls skimming the clouds. “Hello! ” exclaimed his majesty, when he first saw the painting. “It will never do to have the birds flying about at night. They were all gone to roost.” "So they were, your majesty,” artful ly agreed the artist, “but you gave such a rousing broadside with your guns that they all woke up and flew about" “Ah. so 1 did!” assented the royal critic, with more than royal naivete. “I forgot that. Very good! Very good!”—Tooth’s Companion. Judging Races by Camera. Now that running races are abont to commence, further attention will be given to a highly practical invention for automatically judging the position of horses at the winning post, particu larly in cases where close finishes oc cur. says London Answers. Briefly, the mechanical race judge Is an ordinary photographic camera. Across the course a fine woolen thread is stretched, breast high to the horses. The moment this thread is snapped the shutter is opened and a phono graphic record results. The actual development of the nega tive is but the work of a few mo ments, and prints can be actually dis tributed in quite a short time The chief utility of the invention lies In the fact that it eliminates the human element bom the judge's box when a race is a very^ close thing. Not I long since, an absolutely perfect dead heat was recorded with this instru ment. Early Chimney Pots. Silk bats were known in France some years before John Hetherinton frightened Londoners by wearing one. ! They came In with the French Revo^ lution, when all patriotic citizens abaa doned wigs and had their hair cut • short. Engravings printed so early as 1790 depict sans-culotte dandies wearing top hats. In a rare print of the trial of the Girondists, which took i place in 1793. all the judges appear crowned with silk hats. Although the silk hat Is not much more than a hundred years old. hats of that shape were worn hundreds of years before. In Elizabethan times a cylindrical hat with a brim rather similar to that of the “fifties." and with the addition of a plume, was ; worn by the nobility. According to j Raphael, It was worn very much ear lier than that. A red top hat appears la the cartoon “Paul Preaching at Athens." COULD HARDLY MOVE. Kidney Trouble Caused Terrible Misery. Mrs. J. S.
