across the lake to visit the island of st.

over The weather was beautiful.
In the evening we walked back to the
landing place to take our boat and all
seemed serene except a very small black
streak to the southwest We rowed through
the calm lake. admiring the evening glow.
1t was about 5:45. The black streak came
nearer and nearer, followed by a whistling
sound in the air.
We had still more than q mile to row.
We were not SO far as that from land, to be
sure, but the shore was rocky and offered
no landing place. The two ladies who were
with us begged that we should make straight
for the rocks. but the boatman said there
was no danger and babe us be calm.
He had hardly spoken the words when his
wife, much taller and more muscular

We had not reached the shore when there
swept over us a horrid darkness and we
were in cloud in the midst of bowling
wind so strong that no boat could have

like sticks and bars of fire, and the water
which had been 80 calm minute before
was torn into furious waves with foaming
crests. l never saw anything so sudden.
Everything was blotted from sight except
piece of the wet rock jutting out where
we wished to land.
The boatwoman was the first to jump into
the foaming water, and with her strong
arms to seize the chain and haul the prov OF
the boat to little point Of the rock. We
all jumped out and scrambled up to the top

We had landed we could scarcely stand.

and walked along it to the nearest station,

c., learned the particulars of a romantic
story which herewith append;
In 1862 and 1868 certificates of indebted
ness we're issued to the amount Of 1861, 753, =
24l in denominations Of 81 900 each, bear
ing interest at the rate Of per cent. The
interest on the notes ceased In 1864. The
government redeemed oil these notes with
the exception Of four, and 1900 was out
standing for many years. On NOV. ., 1899,
a 1000 certificate found It's way 70 the
note coupou and currency division. where
I had the pleasure of examining it. The
certificate was blood-stained and somewhat
tattered. and it had evidently been through
the war; The history Of the note is very
interesting, and this history constitutes the
true romance In question.

TIE MOUNTAIN WHITES.

In the mountain regions Of West Vir=
GINA, North aud South Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Georgia there is a peculiar
class Of people known as mountain whites. Z"
They number fully 900, 900 in round num-
bers. Gaunt, uncouth, illitetste, they are
almost savage in their vendettas and pun
ishment Of fancied wrong.
When the civil war commenced IN 1861
the majority Of the poor whites, as they
were called. were loyal 60 the North, and
they we're employed largely by the officers
Of the union army as scouts. OF great en-
durance, and a perfect knowledge OF every
mountain pass and byway, good shots and
good horssmen, many OF them became spies
as well as scouts.
One of them in particular of giant frame,
with eyes like the eagles, never knowing
fatigue and dead shot withal, became one
OF the most trusted scouts of Gen. Rose
Grams. when he took command of the Army
of the Cumberland. While this man was
on long and dangerous mission he in
trusted to his wife this particular 81, 900
certificate He had the "canny Scot blood"
in his veins and knew how to save. This
man was from the east Of Tennessee, and a
patty Of confederate troopers from West
Tennessee made a descent on his lonely
cabin one midnight about the Christmas
time. Back of the hut was a cave ingeni-
ously concealed, where the women and chil-
refuge in case Of raid.
A FIGHT IN A CAVE.
The wife of the scout entered last, carry
ing tlis note in basket with other honse-
hold treasures, and hid herself behind a
feather bed, her wedding couch. In the
confusion of the escape to the cave, the
brushwood was not properly placed over
the opening, and large bloodhound dis
covered the narrow slit in the rocks through
his acute power of smell. As the troopers
entered on their hands and knees shots were
fired by the sturdy women aud children
and the torches went out and after the
soldiers had prodded around with their bay
onets, they left the cave and escaped as
union troops were approaching.
LOST AND FOUND.
The 'gude" wife was found dead In the
feather bed, but in the confusion the 81 900
| certificate was missing, and did not turn up
until some time in 1892, when tho grand
| drughter of the old scout went into the cave
with her lover and found the little basket
under heap of earth. and in a tin box this
promise to pay" this $1,000 certificate of
| Indebtedness.
Imagine how happy the lass and her lover
were at this strange discovery, this unex-
pected marriage portion for Efie j to
| give to Donald Mao. Kind friends in
| terested themselves, as both the man and
woman, after the fasion of their class, were
| ignorant in the extreme, aud could barely
read and write.
