Faithful Unto Death.

1t is indeed refreshing, in this praeti-
cal, prosaic age, to meet occasionally
with an incident characterized at once by
both romance and reality; and when. as in
the following citation, such an incident
goes to prove that woman not only is as
tender as in the days of Heloise, but.
when occasion demands, as firm and
brave as the maid of Saragossa, that in
cident is worthy of more than a passing
notice.
1t is an Incident of the freshet in Ten
nessee, and the braveryIand devotion of
the young lady are said to be matter
of admiration wherever the facts are
known.
A respectable young citizen of Gaines
boro was rapidly approaching his end.
As his wandering mind REQUIRED to the
woman who was to be his wife, realizing
that soon the ties of love must be loos-
ened and the golden bowl of life be brok-
en-, he dispatched a messenger to b d her
come to his bedside.
The Cumberland river was flowing in
torrents as fierce as anger, and far out of
its banks. But Eta Dyeus was as reso-
lutte as the river, and her love as restless.
Through the darkness of night she cross
ed the swift stream in light canoe. She
gained the other side. Mounting on
horseback, she continued her way
through the thick woods, swimming her
horse across a channel of back water. and
finally reached the young mans home.
But he was dead
short time before her arrival the de-
voted heart of the man for whom she
had imperilled her life, had ceased to
beat, and left her own, widowed and
wounded, to mourn his dissolution.
Attic funeral, in the presence Of a
crowded house, in accordance with his
dying request, his Masonic pin was pre-
sented to the young lady by the acting
Master of the lodge, in appropriate Ian
guage, with the benedictions OF the Ma
o'lhb iAhltlihly.
There was no dry eyes in the house. -
Augusta Chronicle.
The darkness of night only makes the
stars shine brighter. For her daring and
devotion, the name of Eta Dycus should
live as long as the lips of affection shall
kiss the brow of death. As the mitred
queen of eonstancy, over the hearts Of
the good and true, she will ever reign
wherever the simple story Of her love
shall be tool Than the treasures hid
den in her bosom, no alabaster box ever
held more precious ointment to soothe
and comfort the heart of man. Than
this one act of the heroine, no poet has
ever dreamed "a sublimer inspiration to
tune the Tyre of poesy or mellow the
music OF song. Like the sad daughter
of Naomi, now left to CLEAN loves scat
tered remnants in the hearts barren
wheat fields, the browning beauty Of hei
beautiful life grows more Respondent az
the shadows of sorrow deepen around
her.

children John Hinkle was found in the

outlines of dogs head as if it were

The TRAIL OF BLOOD.
TIE STORY OF THE SEARCH FOR A
LOST SISTER.
DEATH or THE PALEFACE AND HIS IN
DIAN BROTHER-THE TWO BLACK
DOGS THATHAUNFEn JOHN HIN

kLE.
A special from Athens says: peg
Wood, of Turneryile, remembers many
interesting stories and traditions of the
Indians and early settlers of Georgia.
These stories would fill good sized vol
ume, and will doubtless be published in
book form some day. One of these
stories is full of thrilling interest, and is
as follows:
Just where the track of the b. r. and
A. railroad leaves Turneryille, passing
through a deep cut, there once crossed
a dim trail known as Hinkles trail.
This Indian path led from the head
waters of the Soque river and crossed
the Tallnlah river going nearly due east
to the waters of what is known as Brass
TOW n creek, in South Carolina, and this
trail, yet to be dmly seen and traced,
has bloody history with few parallels in
the history Of crime.
The facts, as gathered from an old citi-
zen now numbered with the dead, who
was born near the mouth of Panther
creek, are as follows;
John Hinzle, who lived on the head
waters of Brasstown creek, and who for
years passed to and from the Soque In
dian settlements, made and blazed out
the trail and from that day until this it
has been known as Hinllle's tail, and
there are few hunters and fishermen who
have hunted and ished on Tallulah riv-
er who do not know that solitary spot in
Tallulah river known as Hinkle's Hole
and Hinkle's Grave,
This trail has history, and bloody
one. Old citizens told us that the In
dians stole Hinkle's sister from her home
on the headwaters of Brasstown creek.
and crossed the river at this fatal pot,
that John Hinkle, then mere boy, fol-
lowed the Indians to the river and there
he lost all traces of either the Indians or
his sister, but crossing the river at this
spot he followed on in the direction of
the SOque river, and the Indian town,
but failed ever to find trace Of the love
ly sister, and, on his return, blazed out a
path and in his wrath sworo that ON this
path he would travel back and forth. and
every person that he met face tc face on
the path should die unless he found his
lost sister, and it is said, that this path
is strewn with the dead victims of Hin
kle's vengeance for forty miles.
Travel this trail to-day, which can be
seen dimly traced, and ON either side of
the path for miles, now and then, you
viii find the grave of some Indian or
white man who met his fate at the
mouth of John Hinkle's deadly rife,
Years after all this country was settled
up by the white man. John Hinkle would
follow this bloody trail from end to end
in search OF the lost sister, and after
years OF eeaseless trial and trouble he
married wife, and still with her he
made his accustomed tramp over his
trail. Years passed on and to him was
born two lovely children--two girls. Still
HiHkle would keep up h,s regular
Tamps back and forth on the bloody
trail,
Being caughtout one dreary night With
his wife and children, having waded the
river and dragging his wife and children

lines from Longfellow's immortal Psalm
Of Life. Husbands who are wise and

of the mistress of the home. Many are

RECOMPENSE.

There is no joy bnt has.its drop of sorrow,
No song but has an undertone of pain.
Our yesterday, to-day, and yet tomorrow
Has Ger its sunshine interspersed with
rain.
We chase the brightest sunbeams, and
they lead us
Full often where the deepest shadow
lies
We fret at fate, but never will it heed US,
Or turn the course of fortune other
wise.
We sigh because too heavy seems life's
burden,
The path toe rugged for our weary feet.
We weep because too meagre seems our
guerdon,
And long for wayside cool and mead
ows sweet
And yet we rise by obstacles sumounted,
By burdens bravely borne and foes
o'erthrown.
Each seeming hindrance may be counted
Unto the higher realm stepping stone,
Worthless the gold while yet untried by
fire;
The finest statue grows by many blow,
He who has much to meet may much as
pire.
He of the even way must stay below.

A CLEVER FORGER,
WHO INDUCED GOV. BUCHANAN
TO PARDON HIM.
HE FORCES THE NAMES OF JUDGE, JURY
AND ATTORNEYS TO THE PETE
TIoN FOR PARDON, AND
sKIPs THE STATE.

TIoN FOR PARDON, AND
sKIPs THE STATE.
One of the cleVerest schemes ever
worked by swiRdleF was that by which
Henry b, Davis, alias Edward Stoddard,
has secured pardon from Governor
Buchanan, at Nashville, Tenn.
Davis was sent to Nashville from Tip
ton county in June, 1890, to serve six
years for forgery. The technical offense
was passing a counterfeit resemblance
of bauk check. The check purported
to have been signed by the cashiers of
the Commercial bank and the Mercanti e
bank of Memphis,
THE DoGUs PETITION,
Some weeks since Governor Buchanan
received by mail a petition for Davis
pardon, signed by the Judge, the attor-
ney-general and the jury that convicted
him, and over 100 citizens of Upton
county, A few days later he received a
letter signed by N. w. Baptist. a promi-
nent lawyer and leading democrat of Tip
ton county, stating that the case was a
meritorions one. 1t went on to say that
Davis was nothing but boy, that his
father having died with an estate valued
at over $4,000, his mother had remar-
ried, and his stepfather was squandering
the money! that he had a falling out
with his stepfather, who handed him two
checks which he had had oashed, and
that this stepfather had him arrested and
prosecuted for forgery, His conviction
had followed, and he was sentenced ia
prison for six years.
MR.. Upton INTERESTED.
About the time this letter was received
John Upton, member of the Legisla-
ture from Upton county, also received a
letter signed by Mr.. Baptist's name, urg-
ing him to see the governor at once. and
ask immediate action on the petition.
Mr.. Upton did as requested, but the
petitions were pushed aside by legisla-
tive business, Wednesday, in the course
of office routine, these papers were
reached, and the pardon issued, being
sent to Davis at the Tracey City mines.
A letter was then written to Mr.. Baptist.
informing him of the action taken.
THE SCHEME EXPOSED.
Mr.. Baptist received this letter on the
evening of April Ord, and Immediately
went to Nashville to see what it meant.
On being shown the letters and petitions
he pronounced every one forgery, but
the hundred or more signatures were
clever limitations, The story told In
the letter was also pronounced base
fabrication,
Davis Is man forty years of age, and
had not been in Upton county ten days
when arrested. His real name is Edward
Stoddard, of Jhicopee Falls, Mass, ant
he claims to be a graduate of Harvard, Of
the class Of 1872. He is certainly wei
educated. AS soon as Mr.. Winstead de
nounced the forgeries, a telegram wa
sent to Tracey City to hold Davis, if HI
had not already made his escape.
A QUESTION OF LAW.
