and so were the two roads entering
from the north and west, and yet there
was liquor coming in, and as though
ito give Chester benefit" some of the
men in barracks had royal old spree
on Saturday night, and the captain was
sorer headed than any of the partici-
pants in consequence. In some way he
heard that rowboat came up at night
and landed supplies of contraband down
by the riverside out of sight and hear
ing of the sentry at the railway station,
and it was tlither he hurriedly led Rol-
lins this Monday evening
They turned across the railway on
reaching the bottom Of the long stairs
and scrambled down the rocky embank-
ment on the other side, Rollins follow
ing in reluctant silence and holding his
sword so that it would not rattle, but
he had no faith in the theory Of snug
glers. He felt in some vague and unsat-
isfactory way sense of discomfort and
anxiety over his captains late proceed
ings, and his stealthy descent seemed
fraught with i'll omen.
Once down in the fats, their foot
steps made no noise in the yielding sand,
and all was silence save for the clash Of
the waters along the shores. Far down
the river were the reflections OF one or
two twinkling lights, and close under
the bank in the slack water few stars
were peeping at their own images, but
no boat was there, and the captain led
still farther to little copse Of willow,
and there in the shadows, sure enough,
was rowboat, with little lantern
dimly burning, half hidden in the stern.
Not only that, but as they halted at
the edge OF the willows the captain put
forth warning hand and cautioned ST.
lence. No need. Rollins straining eyes
were already fixed on two figures that
were standing in the shadows not 10 feet
away-one that of tall, slender man,
the other a young girl. 1t was mo-
ment before Rollins could recognize
either, but in that moment the girl had
turned suddenly, had thrown her arms
about the neck Of the tall young man,

and with her head pillowed on his
breast was gazing up in his face.
kiss me once more, Howard. Then
I must Co." Mey heard her whisper.
Rollins seized the captain sleeve and
strove, sick at heart, to pull him back,
but Chester stoutly stood his ground
In the few seconds more that they re-
manned they saw his arms more closely
infold her. They saw her turn at the
brink, and in an utter abandonment of
rapturous, passionate love throw her
arms again about his neck and stand Oh
tiptoe to reach his face with her warm
lips. They could not fail to hear the
caressing tone Of her every word or to
mark his receptive but gloomy silence.
They could not mistake the voice, the
form, shadowy though 1t was. The girl
was Nina Beaubien and the man beyond
question Howard Jerrold.
They saw him hand her into the light
skiff and hurriedly kiss her good night
Once again, as though she could not
leave him, her arms were thrown about
his neck, and she clung to him with all
her strength. Then the little boat swung
slowly out into the stream, the SOULS
were shipped, and with practiced hand
Nina Beaubien pulled forth into the
swirling waters Of the river, and the
faint light, like slowly setting star,
foated downward with the sweeping
tide and finally disappeared beyond the
point.
Then Jerrold turned to leave, and
Chester stepped forth and confronted
him:
"Mr. Jerrold, did I not instruct you
to confne yourself to your quarters un-
til satisfactory explanation was made Of
the absences with which you are charg-
ed?"
Jerrold started at the abrupt and un-
looked for greeting, but his answer was
prompt:
"Not at all, sir. You gave me to un-
derstand that was to remain here
not to leave the post-until you had de-
cided on certain points, and though l
do not admit the justice of your course,
and though you have put me to grave
inconvenience, I obeyed the order. l
needed to 60 to town today on urgent
business, but between you and Captain
Armitage am in no condition to go. For
all this, sir, there will come proper ret
ribution when my colonel returns. And
now, sir, you are spying upon me-spy-
ing, say-and it only confirms what l
said Of you before.
"Silence, Mr.. Jerroldl This is insub-
ordination.
81 don't care d-n what it is, sir!
There is nothing contemptuous enough
for me to say Of you or your conduct to
me''-
"Not another word, Nh. Jerorldl Go
to your quarters in arrest. Mr.. Rollins,
you are witness to this language.
But Rollins was not. Turning from
the spot in blankness of heart before a
word was uttered between them, he fol-
lowed the waning light with eyes full
of yearning and trouble. He trudged
his way down along the sandy shore
until he came to the silent waters Of the
slough and could go no farther, and then
he sat him down and covered his face
with his hands. 1t was pretty hard to
bear.

With this issue the Big Stone Gap
Posrcl,anges its management. Mr..
Gilbert n. Knight has leased the
outfit, and will in future be its Editor
and publisher.
Mr.. Knight needs no introduction
to the people of Big Stone Gap. His
ability as newspaper man and his
high character are sufficient recon-
mendation for him.
Tits with feelings not unmingled
with regret that the present Editor
sewers his connection with the Post,
bnt his professional duties are such
as to make this step imperative.
There is a fascination about con-
Quoting newspaper, that other call
ings do not possess. 1t is great
deal of fun to sometimes rub the hair
wrong side up Of some smart aleck,
to fatter, aud heap Goals of fire, as
theScripture onjoins upon the devoted
heads Of your devoted enemies
Whilst the PosT has had very little
to do with the Goals of fret has had
some little experience with rubbing
the hair the wrong way. And it is
very enjoyable to watch the effect OF
this process upon different individuals.
It is also quite interesting to make
an incision into the body and remove
the cuticlc without drawing blood
The victim of this process is the most
;harassed OF all He feels the cut,
;but it is done in such an adroit man
,ner that he can not get at the perpe-
orator. Such as this makes news
paper life attractive and none the less
80, because the newspaper is country
weekly.
The weekly exercises as mach OF
anore Influence over limited territory
than the daily does over larger
OF course this depends upon the quail
;ity of the weekly, and as for the quail
ity Of the POST we hatter ourselves
that it is the equal of any in the
State.
During the administration of the
Tate management no pains have been
spared to make the Posi- leading
Democratic paper. In season an0
ont of season it has advocated the
Big Stone Gap section and the Dem
ocratic party. This it will continue
TO do.

The Mossback Philosopher.

OF ali the varieties of the Philos-
opher' the most amusing and inter
esting is the Mossback Mistaking the
workings of a disordered liver for in
spiration, this individual becomes
siezed with certain ideas peculiarly
his own. He does not weigh them
by his reason, and consequently in
time he thinks that compared with
what he knows Old Socrates and
Plato knew but little. The Moss
back, as the name implies, is q
countryman and has hayseed in hi;
hair and eyes lii great abundance
He communes often with nature and
natures God, and until the disorder.
ed liver took. hold of him bid fair te
become useful and respected citi
zen. HE most noted OF the Moss
backs are the Populists. Their
philosophy, as in the other varieties
proceeds from a torpid liver, bu'
their hallucination takes most pc
culiar turn. They believe in sitting
on a goods box in country store
whiting time away, and then Gus
sing the ''hard times" This branch
of the Mossback has no very start
ling inspirations. The beginning
and the end of their philosophy is t
get all they can without working fol
it, and in ease they can't get it re
sort to the sand bag, or If they in
dulge in the luxuries of conscientious
scruples die Of starvation, but in ne
case work.

The recent visit of this famous

note, and the Virginia Society, whose

of our people for giving them oppor

the Atlanta Virginia Society to give
a banquet on each recurring ami
versary Of the great Roberts birth

The SILVER QUESTION DISCUSSED

EDITOR Posr:-lhe financial question
before Congress still hangs fire. The
Carlisle bill would be an Improvement On
the present system although it would fall
short Of giving that relief which is need
full. The bill formulated by conference
Of Senators of both parties as outlined in
the Washington Post, is the best bill yet
formulated. This bill authorizes the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to issue $500 ,800,-
600 Of bonds at On interest Of 2l@ or not
exceedng3 per cent, running 80 years,
but redecmablc anytime after 20 years,
at the option of the government. to be
issued in small denominations of 5000
and upwards and placed OH sale in all the
cities, SO as to give it the character of a
popular loan.
Authorizing national banks to isIue
circulation up to the face value Of the
bonds deposited in the treasury and re-
ducing the tax of percent on circulation
to J. IF per cent, or the amount absolute
ly nee cssary to pay the cost of examna-
ton. Requiring the withdrawal of all
treasury notes and national bank notes
under twenty dollars and issuing therefor

ton to be redeemed only in silvcr,and thus
giving place for some $500, 100000 OF
100000, 000 Of silver circulation in notes
of small amounts. Authorizing the minis
to be opened to the coinage of silver bull
lion into silver dollars, not to exceed $50,

the holder Of the bullion scigniornge for
the coming it equal to the amount Of the
difference between the coired value, and
the market value Of the silver, the govern
mcnt thus receiving dollar for every
dollar coined. Requiring all national
banks which increase their circulation to
maintain it and not allowing them to with
draw it without the approval Of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, thus preventing
the contraction of the currency. Requir-
ing 30 per cent Of the duties on imports
from ail the go'd standard countries, to he

amount of capital necessary to establish

sets forth would certainly give great re-
lief. The evils produced by the National
Banking System and the denomination
of silver are unparalleled in history. The
former made the people tributary to the
national bondholders. The Government
supplied the latter with national bank
notes equal to nine icAths Of the bonds
which they held aud deposited with the
Secretary Of the Treasury for banking
purposes.
These notes we're then loaned out at
