two children, one boy of sixteen and
the other a girl of eighteen. Their
parents called them Lem and Lie.
Lem did not amount to much, but Lie
was known through all the mountain
settlements. She had pretty face
and a beautiful figure. The arts OF
fashion were never known to her and
nature was her only teacher. She could
climb mountain or shoot rifle as
good as anyone.
A few miles from the Burchfields
there lived another old settler named
Wilson. This old man was blessed with
large crop of boys, the oldest being
known as bill"
Bill was not a handsome boy, neither
Burchfeld expressed it, ''he was one OF
the evenest boys you ever seen" Bill
was passionately fond of Lie, and
more than one Sunday did he spend at
the BurchfeId cabin ''awooin' and
accom- of her" His affection was by
no means reciprocated, for this fair
maiden loved another. Lie had once
while there she met young man named
zeb Simpson. They danced together
several times, and before the festivi-
ties were over Zeb and Lie had told
each other of their love.
Zeb was little handsomer in the
eyes of Lie than Bill, and besides he
had Travelled. He could sit and tell all
about the big houses in Maryville and
Sevierville, having visited both places.

continued his visits, and it was not
mant months before there was deadly
enmity between the two mountain
bucks. 1t was reported that Bill had
said he would kill his rival before he
should take his girl away from him.
This greatly annoyed Lie and zeb,
because they had an idea that Bill
would do just as he had said, SO they
put their heads together and fixed, as
they thought, great plan to get rid
of Bill.
The plan agreed upon was this: Bill
owned small still way up the creek,
where he made enough whiskycfor his
own use and little to sell. Zeb was
to go to Maryville, where he could find
Freshaur, revenue man, and inform
him of the still in the mountains
Freshaur was to go to Lie, and from
her he was to get all the information
| needed. The revenue man started out
on his mission, and after tiresome

The girl, as soon as she had talked
awhile with the stranger and fount

Miss Isabel Madison, Sc, writes to
us from Gottingen as follows: The circum-
stance that an English woman-Miss CHS.

philosophy at Gottingen University is ex-
citing general attention among all who are
interested in the opening of universities
of women; but the facts concerning the
real position of women at Gottingen Uni
versity and the conditions on which the
degree is granted to them are as yet not
very generally known. The movement is
at present in its infancy. 1t is only within
the last two years that women have been
allowed to attend the university lectures;
and this innovation, great as it is when the
dearth of colleges for girls in Germany is
considered, has come about so quietly and
naturally that even in Gottingen itself
it has hardly excited much remark. says

The Yogi Breathing.

The newest idea in physical-culture cir

a high-caste Indian in the country. 1t is
called Yogi breathing, and it is intended
to create an internal poetry of motion that

eight seconds. Then open the closed
nostril and close that one which
was first used for inhaling and exhale the
breath in two seconds through the nostriI

last used and exhale with the other. The
motion should be. inhale eight seconds
left, exhale two seconds right, inhale eight
seconds right, exhale two seconds left. in

right. This should be continually prac-
