In 18G9 , Lawrence Nulling viwn Untied
Slntcs Jtftrslml in IheSoulhcrn district of
Virginia. The stuto was nt that lime fiilr-
ly overrun \\lili outlaws of nil classes.
liushwhackcrs , higUwnyincn , counlcrfelt-
era nnd "moonsliiners" nestled in nil the
country-side nmonatlio iiiountnlns , mid far
from towns and cities upon lonely roads :
while gamblers nnd desperadoes Rwariucd
in and about the settlements. Criino was
frequent , nud the life of n United States
oniecr was n scries of stirring adventures
involving great danger , nud demanding as
great tnct nnd personal bravery.
Hut Nutting proved himself worthy nnd
fit fortho oftico. A young man of temper
ate habits , ( juick wit , splendid physique
and dashing courage , ho was never nt n
; osshow tooclj nnd the vermin that ill-
Tested that section soon learned to halo nud
fear him intensely.
BInny wcws the expeditions whlcli the
jfllcer had led , many hiscscapes , nnd many
, ho prisoners safely captured nnd walled
> y his cflbrts ; but QUO man evaded him.
The shrewdest nud worst "moonshiner" of
\ll was still nt large ; despite nil his cliorts ,
Nutting had not yet secured JjnlolT Allen.
This man was known throughout thu
itato. His career had been that of n crim-
nnl from his birth. In the fastnesses of
southwestern Virginia , ho manufactured
vhisky upon n grand scale , nnd wns the
owner of. n dozen or more "queer utills , "
md snapped his fingers nt the law.
Several times had Nutting sought this
quarry ; twee ho had actually caught him ,
et twice ho had escaped , nud nt the time
of which vso speak ho wsis still free.
Nutting sat at at hia ollleo windowjouc
evening , uuisiug , half-dreaming , whcu
here lelfn light touch on his shoulder.
fe started up quickly. A stranger stood
icforo him.
"Tho UuUctl States Marshal ? " said he ,
utcrrogatively.
"Yes sir,11 said Lawrence , rising. "I5o
eated. "What can I do for you. "
"I would speak with you nlone , " ho said ,
glancing around. "I have matters of ini-
lortnncc to communicate. "
"This ofllco is out of hearing from the
treet , " replied Nutting , aud wo are I/ :
ourselves. You can speak freely. "
' The other drew a conplo of cigars from
ils pocket , ofTcrcd ono to the iuartlml , nud
it the other himself. Nutting followed
lis example ; then , the man drew his chair
icarcr , so that he sat between the oflicei
and the desk whereon lay his belt and pis-
ols , throw open his coat so that the butts
of two heavy revolvers might bo seen , nnd
> lowing the smoke lightly from his cigar ,
3iiid in n quiet tone to his companion :
"You arc desirous of arresting n notil
moonshiner , ono KulofT Allen , 'are you
not ? "
"There's no doubt of that , " said the
marshal smiling.
"I arn the man. "
Nutting's cigar never stirred in his lips ;
jis hand did uot quiver , nor his breath
iotuo the quicker. A single sign showed
tow deeply ho was moved ; his eyes dilat
ed. then ho laughed loug pjid low.
' 'You ' you , Kuloff Allen ? " My friend , 1'
enow Alien. Uis hair is red ; yours is
ilack. Ilia foce bears n , scar across the
: hin ; yaaca a beard. His teeth nro bro-
ien ; ysara ons perfect. The joke is good ;
but you arc nafc Allen. "
The other fiwsUntcd n moment , then ,
striking a wig from , his head ' beard from
iiis chin , and renioviivj .x single false-tooth.
lie turned again , to Nutting , red-haired and
smiling.
"And now ? "
"Youaro AHcul"
Fora futtMuoiucut neither man moved.
It was as thoagli two largo tigers gazed at
each other. Then the outlaw said :
"Listen 1 1 am armed ! you are not. lam
fully as desperate a man as report makes
me. I am as strong as you. Do not try
to arrest me , far I shall then bo obliged to
kill you. I came hero to have a private
talk , but it was necessary that you should
know who I am. I will not molest you if
you will do the same l > y me , and give me
fifteen ruinates to escape when wo liavo
finished.
Nutting measured his chances. Uiu
armed in the presence of a man to whom
nnrdcr was not new , ho deemed prudence
die better pnrt , nud replied :
"I agree 1"
"Good , " said Allen , removing his own
listol belt "your word is equal to mine.
NVo shall belli bo unarmed. And now I
would teli you a story. "
"Tlieu ho drew his chair still nearer the
marshial , and ns the twilight fell nnd night
came down , lie told of his life a weird
jtraugo history , every line intense with the
throbbing passion of n lawlessness which
made tlio man what he was.
The other listened breathlessly ; the
darkness ehreudcd both , and the cigars
were finished long before the story was
ended.
At length , however , the visitor paused ,
and then concluded us follows :
"So h.iV4B I lived. As a wild man , nl-
nest ; nnd , that life lifts for the past flve
rears been ! more a mania than ever before ,
jut with a method. I am and have been
seeking money and money only. Nofc so
widely different , you will say , from all the
world , except that my search was without
ho palo of the Law. And now the end
ins coma I nm rich. I have enough , nnd
now I desire to return to civilization. You
can permit it you can prevent it. I nm
au outlaw. Very well 1 I will cease out-
awry , will turn over my stills to il\o gov
ernment , w.ifl swear a great oath , nnd keep
t , too for my own interests demand it
to become n worthy citizen ; nnd if you
will accept the prodigal son , nnd kill for
mo the liitted calf of pardon , nil will be
well. I came hero to ask you to intercede
for mo. Will you do BO ? "
Nutting hesitated a moment.
This man was a veritable Icobiu Hood 1
Could ho trust him ?
The other opoko again.
"Such assistance from an official is what
' . need , and I eau pay for H. If you will
; ct a free pardon for mo , I will give you
ivo thousand "
Allen's face paled , and his hand crept
oward his hip ; then restraining him
self with u seeding laugh , hn said :
"Bo it so. Then wo nro enemies. I , tn
ou and the law ; you to mo. Itcmcuiber
uy fifteen minutes , and beware wheu next
We meet ? "
He threw his cloak about him , bucked -
ed his pistols nt his waist , nnd dlsap-
icarcd , but ns ho left the room u little
licco ot metal full from his person , nnd
oiled uauoUced upon the floor. A minute
ater the ring of his horse's hoofs sounded
V ugh the night as he jrode towards the
mountains.
The mornlnfcfollowlng , as Nutting cntcr-
td his oftlce , hlu aged servant bowed low
> cforo him , extending his brown nnd wrink-
cd hand , and said in an uwe-btrickcu voice :
"i'oun' dls on do jloor , massa. B'posc.
mil your'n , bad ting , massa , bad cf ye
ow ole nigger to a\y so ? " |
"The marshal leaned forward in surprise.
< ying in the out-stretched palm ot the
black was n Hilvor pistol bullet.
"Why , uncle , " said ho , taking it , "this
Isiiot luiiio ! "
' Not your'n , mnssal Tank do lord 1 IVo
pleased , 1 is , Massa. Foun' It ycr , dough.
Dat ar s n scweysldo bullet , n mi , ho con
tinued , lowering his voice to n whlsi.cr ,
while his eyes rolltd- liked ships lu f-

John , dough , ho didn't git n chance for to
use his'n , " and the old man chuckled.
"A suicide bullet " said
, Nutting , with n
smile , ns ho examined the silver Bpherc.
"That's n now idea to me , "Why make a
special bullet , uncle ? 1 should think one
of those deadly enough. "
And ho pointed toward some of tlio heavy
cartridges belonging to his own pistols
which lay on the tnblo near.
"Jey mought miss , massa. Yo know do
debhll cares for his own , an1 dis bullet is
niado by his help , nt night , in do grabe-
yard , nn1 can't miss. I knows 'em mnssa ,
I's seen 'cm nfore. " Then , drawing nearer ,
ho whispered , "I's made 'cm 1"
"And did they do their work1' said
Nutting , laughing lightly.
"Dcy did , massa. "
The olllccr now opened a drawer In his
desk , nnd took from it nu old-fashioned
duelling-pistol , which ho had picked up
somewhere , and llttcd the bullet into ita
rusty muzzle.
"it's just the thing , uncle. Iking me my
losk , nud I'll ' load it with the suicide bul
let. It's best to have it handy by if I get
the blues. " Uo laughed again.
The servant obeyed.
"No use to fix 'iiu massa. 'Twon't only
clll do ono who it's made fer. shuah nn'
yo couldn't shoot ycrsclfwld it , nohow. "
" Well , uncle , I'll load the old smooth-
: > orc , anyway , " said the marshal , suiting
tlio action to the word , "and this afternoon
we'll try it nt n mark. If I miss a half-
lollnr nl n do/en paces , I'll give up that
you'ro ' right. If I hit , your 'suicide bullet1
.s no better or worse than a leaden one.1
"All light , mnssn , but you won't hit , "
replied the old darkey.
.lust as Nutting completed the charging
of the weapon , n visitor pilled , nnd It was
thrust hurriedly into a pigeon-hole iu the
.leak. His visitor's business detained him
from tin ) ofllco until night , and the plan of
; ho morning was forgotten. The ducllng-
listol with its silver missile lay unnoticed
, 'or months iu the desk.
The days nnd weeks passed , summer
came and went , nnd fall ripened the year.
V dozen times imd the marshal organized
jxpcditions and scoured the country , ecek-
ng the notorious Allen , but each time ho
md returned unsuccessful. Occasionally u
itill would bo destroyed , or n quantity of
_ iqnor seized , but tlio man himself remain
ed free , and the winter was approaching
rapidly. Soon thcso raids musr bo dropped
or the year. Nutting chafed under his ill
success.
Ono final effort , however , was to bo
made. Certain information which ho know
o be reliable had nt last , ho felt sure , put
,1m outlaw in his hands , and ho looked to
lis horse's shoes mid loaded his pistols
with unusual care.
At his orders mounted guards men on
whom ho could depend patrolled all the
roads. Upon the morrow at dawn , with n
) osse of seven fearless mountaineers , ho
ivas to storm the very btroughold of the
moonshiners , nud to-morrow night would
fiind a vacancy cither iu the government
ofllcc or the ranks of the illicit distillers.
The expedition had thus far , Nutting be
loved , been kept a secret. Uecauso of this
10 looked forward with stioug hopes of
success.
The officer sat at his desk writing. Uo
iad n few pages to complete , a letter or
iwo to prepare for the mail , nnd some
memoranda to destroy. Uo might uovcr
sit at that desk ngaiu.
As his eyes wandered over the mass of
papers , documents and duplicate reports ,
lied neatly away bcforo him , ho uuddenly
noticed the bntt end of his old dueling
pistol , half hidden in one of the compart
ments , nnd as the remembrance of how it
came there flashed over him , ho was about
to draw it from its hiding-place , when a
shuffling step at the door arrested him , and
an instant later an aged and bent woman
entered the door.
The hour was late , nnd Nutting regarded
the new comer with surprise , as ho arose
to offer her a chair. She ncceptcd it with
a whine of thanks , nnd sank panting into
It. The marshal resumed his seat nt the
desk.
"Yo nre the gov'meut man , I reckon ? "
said the woman , a Her a pause , raising a
brown and wrinkled face , half hidden be
neath an immense hood and a pair of green
spectacles , toward Nutting.
"Yes , madam , " replied that worthy.
"I've couio a right smart piece to see yo ,
for an old woman. I'm true grit , I am , but
a gittin' wore out. Thcso ycro mountains
nro a sight stccper'n they was forty year
ago , " and shosighed. "Hut see here , I'm '
on business , I am. I want to talk to ye.
You don't know me , I reckon ? "
"I can't ' say that I do , " said Nutting ,
slowly.
"I reckon not as yo never see mo be
fore. I'm Mrs. Allen Bcthslioby Alien-
on * my boy he's IJaloff Allen. Yo'vo ' heard
of himmcbboV" and she paused and gazed
cunningly into her listener's face.
"Yes , I know him , " nud the man's brow
darkened.
" Wall , now , I'll ' tell ye. It 'pears ' ycr on

but he's cooped all the same , an' I'm afcard
yo'll catch him or kill him. An' ' I'm his

The old hag paused and wiped her eyes.
5hp was n woman even yet , nnd Nuttiiig's
"leart softened towards her.
" What can I do in tills matter , Mrs.
Allen ? " began the nmrehall. "Your sou is

"Mrs. Allen , this is impossible. I'll ' try

miiHt and shall. "
" 'lint if ho should capture you what
then ? " .
At these words the green glasses fell , tin
lood was thrown back , tlio bent fore be
came straiubt , and before thu eyes of the
dazed officer stood Ituloff Allen himself , a
ook of deadly hatred on bis face , a heavy
oolvcr in his outstretched hand ,

Slowly Nutting's eye ran about the room ,
