 They rod de along in silence. The moon arose. The guide stopped, turned around and, taking of his hat, said:

 "Yes, fully intended to hang you, but my intentions grew weak after the scaf- fold was erected. wanted something to spur me up, and knowing, or at least thinking that knew how we'll you would like to kill me, thought that would give you chance to revive my determi- nation to have your blood. If you had attempted to take the knife when handed it to you, l would have plunged 1t into your body. You are tree. do not ask you to forget our past feud, for know that would be impossible. After the war, no matter how the struggle terminates, we can meet and settle-eternally, I hope-the long dispute of our people,"
 Colonel Cobson, l shall not attempt to thank you. Generosity in an enemy IS more to be admired than if it were shown by friend. shall not forget you, and l shall not take advantage of the first chance have to kill you. Good bye"
 Shortly after the war closed, the two men began, in the same town, the publi- cation of weekly newspapers. Strange to say, they married two young ladies who were sisters. They did more than this. They consolidated the journals and became friends. This was the first Ken- lucky feud that ever ended in this way, and even after the papers were consoli- dated, the people expected to see the edi- tors kill each other.
 One evening when Graley and his wife were visiting the Cobsons, Graley, com menting on the great change brought about by the war, said:
 " It is much better to live, even though w -" ANA AS"SPoPSa thaA SO OC QCdQ, isn't it
 ''I think so." Cobson replied Al though cannot speak from experience, having never been dead, l would rather run paper than to be shut up in an ill ventilated box"
 You saved my life very generously, Cobson."
 "Oh, don't know. You were the man who showed generosity. offered you knife and told you that you could kill Cobson. but you refused"
 Do you know why refused to take the knife ?"
 "No."
 Because l knew that you were Cob son. Amanda" addressing his wife, "please hand me that dish of mint. Col onel, here is some Chicken Range dis titled"

What caused you 10 kneei oo"h here?"
 "Wall, don't exactly know"
 "You believe in hell, don't you [?
 "Yas."
 "And you don't want to go there2" "I don't want to go so bad that I'm a hurtin'."
 "What would you do if Cobson should come and kneel down here ?"
 "Wall, I'd let him tend to his business an I'd tend to mine."
 The preacher returned to where Cobson sat. "Have you thought abou, the situa- tion ?" the old gentleman asked.
 "Yas."
 "What do you think of it?"
 ~l don't know exactly"
 "You have decided that you want to go to he aven, haven't you ?"
 "Wouldn't mind goin' thar when the time comes. Ain't keen to go now"
 "Come with me. Leave your pistols here"
 Cobson followed the preacher and knelt down. Graley, looking up said
 "Hello"
 "Hello."
 "Got us, haven't they?"
 "Sorter looks that way"
 "How long do they say it takes feller to get through ?"
 "Don't know-ain't hearn 'em say.' "Bet I'll get through before you do," What'll you bet?"

 Everybody expected to see this thing fit out"
 "Yes, but we'll d;sapp'int 'em." "Sorter afeerd, ain't yerP"
 No, but believe that you are" "You believe lie if you do." The two men sprang to their feet and seized each other. The congregation scattered and Graley and Cobson were left alone in the church. Alter a while, pistol shots were heard, then, all was quiet. When several men summoned sufficient courage, they found Graley and Cobson lying dead near the mourners' bench,

LITERATURE AND PRISONERS.


 The prisoners in the Austin jail re. ouested the jailer, not long since, to ge them some books to read. The iaile. being kind hearted man procured a mixed lot of books at an auction room and proceeded to divide them out, while the prisoners were assembled in the jail yard.
 Here is book for you," he said, giv. ing it to man who was in for murder The prisoner looked at it, shook his head and handed it back. It was Dr. Smith. Diseases of the Throat" The next one got small pamphlet. He was in for horse stealing, but he thought the jailer meant something personal, as the title of the book was, Hints on How to Raise Fine Stock"
 Still another, who is indicted for rob. ping the mail, got copy of the " Postal Guide D; while gentlemen, who is ac- cused of initiating another's signature, drew How to Write a Good Hand in Ten Lessons"
 They handed the books back to the taller, and said they preferred to have a copy of some funny paper.

CHAPTER II.

Graley and Cobson each left son to take up the feud. The boys were prom ising lads. Henry Graley was tall and dark Louis Cobson was tall and light. As time moved along they succeeded in getting an occasional shot at each other but they did not reach the ripe age oi combat until the war of the rebellion came up. Graley entered the Confeder- ate army. Cobson espoused the cause of the north. They were equally fortu- nate in securing promotion and each one became c olonel of cavalry. They met once and fought bloody battle. Both sides lost heavily. It was not draw fight, for Graley was captured. The van- quished soldier expected no mercy; and in fact, he had no cause to expect any.
 "Well, I've got you" said Cobson.
 "Yes, it seems that way"
 "Do you know what l intend to do with you2"
 " Have me shot, suppose"
 "No, sir you are not worthy to be shot. Do you see those men at work l"
 "Yes."
 "Do you know what they are doing ? {"
 "They are building scaffold, think"
 "You are right. Tomorrow morning you swing"
 "All right"
 At night Graley, closely guarded, lay in tent. "The old feud is about to end," he unused, "and 1 am the only one ofmy race who was ever compelled to confront such death-the death of crim- inal. It is shameful, but cannot com plain."
 Some one crept into the tent and whis- pered, "I have drugged the guards. Come with me. l know your people, and l cannot bear to see you hanged"
 Graley followed him. They mounted horses. The guide, refining up his horse, whispered to his companion:
 "Cobson Is asleep under that tree," i" pointing. "Do you wish to kill him i'
 "No."
 "You run no risk. Here is a knife, Go and plunge 1t into him."
 "No."
 "You are foolish. He gloats over your misfortune and will be delighted to see you hanged"
 "I can't help that"
 Here, take the knife, tell youl"
 "I will not.''
 "Then will go and kill him."
 If you attempt it, will alarm the camp"

NO MUSH FOR HIM

Bill Snort, who edits the Crosby Coun ty Clarion, was in Austin last week. He strolled into hotel about dinner time and was about to enter the dining-room to lay in provisions to last him for a while when his eyes rested on large placard {:
 "Notice.-No persons allowed to enter the dining-room without first procuring meal checks"
 Have to get meal ticket, have p he unused. "Well, l reckon I get all the mush l want at home" and he hunted up hotel where he could get fritters and white sugar.

SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

Look here," said Gus de Smith to a newspaper reporter, "you tell me couple of good jokes; l want to get 'em of as original, you know, at little social gath ering tonight. I'll lend you five dollars if you do."
 "Can't possibly do it. If you get of the jokes everybody will know you stole them, and if it leaks out that have got five dollars people will think the same of me-" and hence the deadlock still continues.
