The wife made no reply to the fling
at her faith, but Nance glared at her
father, and then, bringing her fist down
on the table so fiercely that the dishes
danced, she cried:
"Ill jine-Ill jine-I'll jine-Tll be

over her chair she fled the room. bang

Old Melton said nothing, but he
clinched his teeth with an ominous sig

Supper over and the table cleared off,
the old man went to the kitchen door
and called for Nance.

girl.

It was woman's voice-Nance's

through the binding rain and dark

that shut in the still.

"yo'll disgrace yo'self an yo' family
afore strangers eg'in, will yo'? Yo'l
jine the Methodisses, will yo'?" and
with that he struck his daughter a
fearful blow, causing her to reel for
ward at the feet of the young man.
"Dog!" cried MILFORD, "devil! Take
that!" and throttling Melton, he dashed
him against the rocky wall and struck
him between the eyes.
Melton drew a revolver, but, before
he could use it, MILFORD wrested it
from his hand, and knocked him head,
long into the shelter of the still.
HAP cried MILFORD, as q vivid flash
of lightning revealed the character Of
his surroundings. "a moonshiner, I
see thought as much" and, taking
o pair of handouts from his pocket.
he clasped them on the wrists of the
PROSTATE man.
"You will come with me-" he con-
tinued, dragging his prisoner into the
open air. "You will come with me.
1 have been looking for this still OF
yours since last December, but I

Stunned, confused, the old man
staggered to his feet.
What is hit, daddy? Why don't
yo' speak?"
1t was the daughter who spoke-it
was the bruised and bleeding daughter
who now flung her apron around the
old man, and kissed his wrinkled face
"Hit's all up with we'uns, Nance,

MILFORD leaped from his saddle +brow
pounded gracefully over the grass into
l .ne cabin. He was a tall, slender,
handsome young fellow, with blonde
halr' a beardless face, and large. blue
winning eyes, that sparkled with humor
o. sclntlllated with wrath according to
his varying moods. ~
Mrs: Melton was sitting before the
huge fire place, industriouslv dipping
snuff. She was lank and angular
woman OF forty, barefooted and dressed
III homespun. She rose as MILFORD
came in, responding to his bow with q
queer little bob of her head, and then
withdrew into the kitchen.
The room in which MILFORD found
himself was large and trinity kept. A
bedstead stood in one corner, while a
row Of rush bottom chairs, q table and
splnning-wheel completed the stock
OF furniture. On the log walls Of the
cabin were tackled few unframed
photographs of family relations, while
on the mantel was little mirror in q
plne-cone frame.
Mrs. Melton returned presently, and
began to spread the table for supper.
While bringing in the last dishes, a
large, bony. and sallow girl ran into
the room, her garments dripping with
rain and clinging close to her stalwart
frame.
"Whoop-ee! but wusn't I skeered Y

She stopped short on seeing Will
