first impulse, at sight OF a human being,
was to make haste and join IN the pros

his face Henry stopped short with a
chill OF conservation going up his back.
Ii was the robber.
Fortunately Henry had made no
noisa. The man evidently felt quite
safe; for while he attended TO mis- cook

lines of a ditty popular at that time:
He bought her a gown Of purple and

And he gave hsr a rose and a ring.
And on. bu. her face did shine for him,
And oh, but her mouth did sing!'
He had a rich, soft tenor voice that
r.ppied away through the still woods.
Henry stood gazing and listening. He
saw his pony and the horse Of the robber

sat hard by and his rife leaned against

BACKWOOD'S LUCK.
A Boys Adventure With a RObber.
A True Story Of Early Mississippi
Days.
BY MAURICE THOMPSON.
Copyrighted, 1896, by Maurice Thomp-

Copyrighted, 1896, by Maurice Ihomp-
son.
Two hundred and forty dollars in gold
coin could not be regarded as a large
sum- but fifty years ago it was quite
different, especially among the poor folk
who lived far down in the lowiands of
Mississippi. When Henry Brack, boy
of sixteen, was entrusted to bear such
an amount of money to New Orleans the
responsibility seemed almost too great
for him. His father at the time was i'll
and bsd-fast, and it was necessary that
a debt of two hundred and forty dollars,
due in the city, should be promptly paid
in order 10 hold The land upon which the
Brack family lived.
Henry was the only son Of his parents
and had been familiar with frontier
hardships all his life, yet this undertake
ing impressed him as something stupen-
dous. In those days there were no rail-
roads. Even the wagon roads were for
the most part mere winding trails
through dense and uninhabited woods.
So that when Henry Brack set out one
fine March morning, riding a gray pony,
he babe farewell to his parents and sis
ters with the tone and expression OF one
going away into deadly danger, never,
perhaps to return.
The money, which as 1 have said. was
all gold coin, had been carefully be-
slowed in q leather belt and buckled
around Henrys waist under his clothes.
In a pair Of saddle-bags he bore some
bacon and dried venison. Across the
pommel of his Old saddle rested long
rife. and at his side hung bullet-pouch
and powder-horn. Nor was the gun his
only weapon, for in his inner coat pocket
were two small pistols. He did not feel
afraid. but a sense of doubt and dread
oppressed his mind. The mOney-bag
claSped about him bore in upon his
heart as it were, a great weight which
seemed to hinder free breathing.
He was young and strong, however,
and when once he was wei forth on his
way he threw off much of his discomfort
and rode along whistling. For some
hours the road led past scattered plan
cations. but long before night fall the
even Jogging of his staunch pony had
taken him deep into the unbrCken will
W
without any unusual adventure. TO be
sure a boy nowadays would think a
bear proving near where he sept some
thing TO remember with shudders, but
Henry Brack had no more fear of Q
black bear than one of us would have Of
cow A panther and robber were
the two beings Henry dreaded TO en-
counter.
In those days, although John A. Muir
rell and his gang of desperadoes had
been caught in the laws clutch and duly
dealt with, there sill fingered feeling
among the common people that az was
not vet secure. Murrel's fame, his daz-
cling achievements in ou,l2wry and his
sar-reaching evil influence could not be
wiped out in a month or year, or a de-
c2Ge. There were men all through that
region who dreamed of following IN his
footsteps, men who kidnapped negro
