"All right I'll give you a fine g.
year-old FLY TO ride, and Il you can

my host and saw a mischievous swim

And the whipping-tree?" insisted.
''Oh, tho whipping tree" said he.
''That must be the big tree behind the

When l returned in the evening, I'M
successful from my search, Mr.. Terrell
consoled me with "reminiscences of the
old farm. In the course of the CONVEX
sation he remarked:
within ten feet of where we are
sitting one of the most desperate trag-
edies in the history of this county was
perpetraied. 1t was the end of a
deadly feud that had existed between
James Gillespie and General Tom Ken
nedy, at that time owner of this place.
1t is sail that these two men furnished
material for the construction of the
atrocious character of Simon Legree in
Mrs Stoves story. Tom Kennedy
was man of robust stature, quick 10
quarrel and had the reputation of be-
ing dangerous man. Gillespie was a
man of much the same kind. Although
Kennedy was cruel when his passion
was aroused, he experienced bitter re-
morse after the tempest was over.
There might be some truth in saying
he was cruel to his slaves when in a
bad temper; it was equally true that
he was an indulgent master when in
good humor.
"ln some way the two men got into
a quarrel, the details of which are now
obscure. The insulting epithet was
passed A feud was declared, and that
meant death to one or both of them in
those days.
1T was whispered by neighbors that
they would meet in town some day
and after that there would be a fun
eral-perhaps two. Although they
did not try to avoid each other, cir
cumstances kept them apart, and the
town meeting never took place Gil
lespie became impatient and deter
mined to have satisfaction. Well,
they met right here in front of the
threshold; some hot words were ex-
changed and then, both being armed,
they agreed to stand back to back and
walk away from each other, counting
ten PAGES aloud.

toll shot broke the stiffness. A bullet

lie had been shot through the back
by Tom Kennedy.
mo sooner did Kennedy realize
what he had done than bitter remorse
seized him, and taking his writing
victim in his arms he tried TO stop the
flow of life blood and kissed his enc
nays brow as a mother would caress
an injured child. lie carried mis- dy
ing foe up into the garnet and there
wrung his hands and mingled his re-
| pentant sobs with the curses of the
man he had murdered.

ANOTHER awful lesson has been
added to the long list OF the danger
from overhead wires This time the
lesson comes from St Louis, where
three firemen got tangled up in
wires that had been melted by the

other fatally injured and the third
seriously burned. Had these wires
been where they ought to have been
