4 MOUNTAIN HEROINE.
a Faithful Picture of Moonshiner's
Daughter, Drawn From the Life By
Louise Pike.

y lonesome cabin perched way up
the steep side OF the mountain. \ cabin
not more nor less desOlate, poverty
stricken or bleak than many OF those
that dot the mountains ofthe Southern
States. Cabins in which generations
of poor whites" are born and reared,
with no idea of aught outside the fast
nesSses of the mountain, or that there is
anything in life better than what is
there afforded them. There tastes and
habits are extremely simple, and their
hospitality 10 anyone they have no rea-
son 10 suspect most cordial and sponta-
neous. Within the cabin the ground
floor was all one room, 80 was the loft
above, access to which was gained by
ladder through a hole in the ceiling.
Scant and rude articles of use and fur
niture stood about the puncheon floor,
but of articles of adornment or effort at
ornamentation such rs would mark
the presence and hand of woman
about the house there was not even the
rudest sort. Cooking untensils stood
about the wide stone hearth, and the
limited store of family crockery stood
upon a rough deal table pushed against
the wall. Saddles and an old spinning
wheel, an OK yoke and pair of heavy
trace chains hung against the wall in
lieu of pictures, while from the ceiling
dangled the customary bInches of
dried herbs and strings of brilliant red
peppers.
Besides the cabin, on the downward
slope of the mountain patch of stunt
cd corn rustled its leaves in the crisp
air, while still further down the bosky
laurel grew in dense luxuriance, as yet
undisturbed 10y hand or foot of man.
Far below in the coye the rain was
falling, and sad gray mist drifted
down the rugged paths or rolled over
the steep edges of dangerous cliffs rs
the wind might will, or lurked in the
nooks Of laurel when the wind
ceased.
Within the living room fare from
the great chimney piece played genial
ly over the humble furnishings of the
cabin and the brown logs Of the wall,
where the gigantic shadow OF an aged
woman mimicled her every gesture
with grotesque eXaggeraJiOn. The |
parti-colored yarn on the waTping bars,
the strings of peppers and herbs, the
metallic flash of the guns iii |
the rack on the wall, all served as in
cidents in the alternate monotony Of |
the yellow flicker and the brown shad- |
DIV, while deep under the blazing logs
the red Goals pulsated and in the farth-
EST vistas of the fire quivered a white
heat.

Almost instantly the ants poured

upon the intruder, who was soon cov-

him fearfully. The battle ragged with
fury, the snake writhing about in tor
