The coffee acted a3 a stimulaat and
he ate something. then announced his
intention Of going to the village. but
positively refused to reveal the nature
Of his crrand.
On leaving the house he walked
strai ghtforward, with the determined
tread Of a man who knows what he
wishes to do and intends to accomplish
it in the shortest possible time.
The sun was more than an hour high
when he reached the village. Thenar-
row, rocky streets were filled with
groups Of excited men. He saw Jep and
Silas Deeson in the distance, but avoid
ed them and went directly to the little
tavern where the revenue officials were
stopping.
Being shown into their room he pro-
ceeded with calm deliberation to unbO-
som himself Of the information that had
come to him unsought

his head.

"Well, it's an offer OF a reward OF

ward"
The Deesons were Immediately ar

of imprisonment,
The first net of Tanner, when set at
libsxty, was to place q release of the
mortgage in the hands Of the man who
had gained for him his freedom and re-
lieved him from the suspicion Of crime.
Langstatf at first refused the Govern
ment reward, but was at last persuaded
to accept it; and the little valley farm
which now smiles under his careful
culture is a perpetual reminder of the
desperate struggle he passed through
in Conquering Himself.

he was afeared az how he moutnt git
that thar team ef he didn't shet off the
money. He knows ez it's powerful
good team an he air boun' ter hev it."
''But you on'y owe him twenty dol
lars, Tom! He shorely couldn't take
the team fur that!''
''He could an he will ef / don't gin
him the money. It's due Monday, an
thar amt emmy man roun' hyar ez would
holp me ter that much"
He caught up one Of the children and
began romping wildly with it while his
wife prepared the meal. She disliked
to see him in that mood. He was more
intractable then than at any other time.
Supper was eaten in silence, and after
another romp with the children he re-
tired. He passed sleepless night, and
the spirit of unrest drove him out into
the mountains before it was fairly light
"Ef l could on'y holp him some
way!' sighed Mrs. Langstaff, as she
watched him out of sight, for she had
also risen early. "Ef could only holp
him! But it pears ez eff a woman amt
no good way O maxim emmy thing. l
mout airn little by weavin' cyarpets,
ef thar war emmy way O sellin' 'em; but

Tom Langstaff struck into an unused
by-path leading up the nountain and
followed it for over mile, scarcely no.
ticing where he was going. The sun
came up, but he plunged on only halt
ing when he came suddenly upon lit
tie clearing containing deserted log
house. Weeds and brushwood grew
rank about it and he was stepping aside
when roughly-dressed man came out
of the hut and advanced toward him,
chinking some money in his pocket
1t was Jep Deeson, a worthless charac-
ter, who was suspected of half the vii
lainy that disgraced the mountain side
"'Pears ter me ye're out rayther air.
ly!n said Deeson, with an attempt at
friendliness. Eye warn't lookin' fur

commencing gloomily with himself.
"Wonder where the moneys ter KEN

cryin' fur bread, what's he ter doP"
The tobacco crap" on the proceeds
OF which the Langstaffs were depend
ent for even the necessities of life,
had failed, and he had been compelled
to mortgage the team with which he
had "tended" it. Work was difficult to
obtain. A week before he had secured,
as he thought, a winters job in the
sam-mill that had the contract OF cut
ting the tiruber from the Tanners
mountain land. But, alas, for his hopes!
This Saturday afternoon the proprietor
of the mill had informed him that he
would be compelled to give the place to
q friend who would be there ready for
work on Monday.
"Six dollars ter pay off the mawgige
with an buy the winters grub fur a
family. A POI man ain't got no show
in this country, no way ye ken fix itn'
When the last plank had been ripped
off and he had received his money he
turned gloomily away, scarcely trusting
himself to say "good night" to his
fellow-workmen.
The sun, sinking to rest in a bed Of
flame and clouds, cast a heavenly
radiance over the surrounding hills.
Rude and unlettered as he was Lang
staff was not insensible to the beauties
OF nature, and he paused an instant to
gaze upon the enchanting scene.
Then he tore himself away, with a
harsh laugh.
"What's the use O. wastin' time that
air wayp It takes somethin' more fill
in'er than sunsets ter satisfy q mount
ing appetite. They're well 'nuff, mebbe,
when a mans got plenty O money in
his pocket, but | never heered that en-
nybody ever made a pot bile by lookin'

He jingled the coins in his
hand and tried to whistle as he walked
on down to where his humble cabin
nestled near the base of the mountain.
"Waal, mother, thar's the winters
grub' he exclaimed, with affected
cheerfulness, as he slapped the money
on the table.
Mrs. Langstaff looked up in evident
alarm.
"Why, what's the matter, Tomp They
amt discharged We, hev theyP"
That's jest what they hev!" he grit
ted savagely. "An' it's ole man Tan

"Nom replied Langsta1f, turning into
a by-path, for he was in no mood for
talking.
'Hol' on! Hol' on!'' cried Deeson,
threateningly. ''Ye war follerin' me

''Nothin'!" replied Langstaff, angrily.

some dirt or 'nuther, I'll be boun'!"
Jep's brother, Silas, now came out of
the cabin and advanced to where they
were standing.
Thus reinforced Jep continued:

Tom Langstaff. Thar's no use in try

hot flush swept over Langstaff's face.

whitening to the lips.
Twenty, then?" said Jep, hauling
out two additional half-eagles. "What

Realizing his danger, Langstat1
turned and, with cry that was half g
moan, fled down the mountain.
That evening, as he sat on a bench in
front of his cabin, gloomily whiting
at stick, Jep Deeson came up the lit.

"Thort ez how I'd like ter hev talk

Langstaff's side and glancing furtively
at the doorway, beyond which Mrs
Langstaff could be occasionally seen as
she moved about the room.
He dropped his voice to a hoarse
whisper.

The Grenada sentinel., 1888-07-21

The man dashed on and Langstaff
crept back to the house, covering as if
struck heavy blow.
He knew that the whisky captured
was the same that had been placed in
the cabin by the Deesons; and that
Tanner was innocent.
The crisp, mountain air could not
cool the fever that now burned
in his veins. Cold and hot
flashes swept over him and the
sweat started from every pore. Weak
and trembling he sank upon the bench
and endeavored to satisfy his conscience
that silence was not criminal.
The events of the past two days
swan before his eyes and some tiend
seemed a2atinually shrieking in his
ears
"Zeke Tanner is not your friend
Think of the mortgage. Fifty dollars
for saying nothing. Let him 60. Think
of the mortgage! It's none of your
business anyway. Think of the mort
gage! Think of the mortgage! Think
of the mortgage!!!''
Again and again his wife called to
him to come into breakfast.
Then she came out and laid her hand
on his shoulder.
Tom! Tom! What's the matter with

lures he turned toward her drew a shrek

smart pile. an low it'll pay off that
mawgage an pull ye through the win
ter. It's gwine ter be hard 'un, spec
tally ter a man ez out'n work"
Langstaff whitfield furiously at the
stick, his brain in fiery tumult Why
should he not take the money? Was it
not mans duty to ward the wolf from
his door at all hazards? He need do
nothing. Only keep still; and that he
had resolved to do anyway, whether he
received any thing for it or not.
Like most Tennessee mOuntaineers he
had no very high opinion of the revenue
laws and officials. His sympathy was
naturally with the men who were con-
stantly hunted like partridges in the
mountains, then the mortgage that fell
due on the morrow, the empty meal
barrel that stood behind the door, the
grimy rafters, destitute of the smoky
sides of bacon that usually adorned
them, his poverty-stricken family and
the terrors of pitiless winter almost
at hand, all added their crushing weight
to the temptation that tugged at his
very heart-strings.
Jep Deeson saw that he was making
head-way and continued, in the same
hoarse whisper. "We-uns knowed ye
wouldn't say nothin' Nv what you seed
ter day, but we thort we'd gin ye the
money fur the sake O friendliness. Sile
sez ter me, when we-uns war speakin'
,bout'n it, sez he, Tom Langstaff's a
'onest man, an l amt afeared but what
he'll keep his mouth shet."
A culver of pain swept across Lang
staff's face and he threw out his hands
as if defending himself from deadly
peril.
81 hope Sile's right bout'n me bein
'onest," he replied, his breath coming
in gasps. I'm afeard I wouldn't be,
though. eff l took the money
Fifty dollars is right smart pile!"
urged Jep, jingling the coins in his
pocket. Think hard bout'n it an I'll
see ye agin ter-morrer
He slipped from the bench and hur
ried out of sight down the bridle-path
before Langstatf could frame reply.
What did that air onery Jep Deeson
want O YEP" Mrs. Langstatf asked, at
the supper table. ''He's allus a-creep-
in 'roun' like a shadder an never in
emmy good, I'll be boun'"
He war speakin' O the job | lost an
akin ef thar warn't emmy way he could
helf me!n was the equivocal reply.
II hope ye amt gwine ter jine in en-
ny O his meanness"' she said, looking
at him sharply. 1--WE 'uns air 'onest,
thank goodness, eff we amt got emmy
thing ter eat; an I'd rather starve ter
death 'onest than ter steal, even ef |
c'ud live fat ez a 'possum by doin' NV
it!''
Her husband 6eftly changed the sub
ject and little later went out for a
walk
The next morning he was up before
day. He had been feverish through
the night and the crisp, bracing air
seemed to take the fire out Of his veins
Far up the mountain side he saw
lights moving.
Its at the cabinr' he muttered.
"Jep an Sile Deeson amt got ez much
sense ez a six-months' old colt-a-fash-
in lights over the nountins in that air
way. They'll hev the rev'new down on
'em to dead sartainty."
An hour later neighbor, on his way
home, rode up the bridle-path, at a
furious pace. He was greatly excited,
but drew rein at the gate long enough
to announce:
"Ole Zeke Tanners been gobbled by
the rev'new. They captured lot Nv
whisky in his cabin up yander a little
while ago"
