Jagged rocks, and on these the waters
OF the fall fell and Numbered, bound
ing from them in spouts Of spray into
the troubled depths of the foss be-
yond. 1t was on these stones that the
life was dashed out of the bodies of the
wretched victims who were hurled
from above, but Nanea, it will be re-
membered, had not waited to be
treated thus. and, as it CHANGED, the
strong spring with which she had leapt
to death carried her clear of the rocks
BY very little she missed the edge
Of them, and, striking the deep water
head first, like some practiced diver,
she sank down and down TIL she
thought that she would never rise
again. Yet she did rise at the end Of
the pool, in the mouth of the rapid
along which she sped swiftly, carried
down by the rush of the water. For
tunately there were 10 rocks here. and
since she was a sl1illful swimmer, she
escaped the danger of being thrown
against the banks.
For a long distance she was borne
thus till at length she saw that she
was in a forest, for trees cut off the
light from the water and their droop-
ing branches swept its surface. One
of these Nanea caught with her hand
and by the help of it she dragged her
self from the river Of death. whence
none had escaped before. Now she
stood upon the bank gasping, but quite
unframed; there was not a scratch on
her body; even her white garment was
still fast about her neck.
But though she had suffered no hurt
in her terrible voyage, so exhausted
was Nanea that she could scarcely

stand Here the gloom was that of
night, and, shivering with cold, she
looked round helplessly to find some
refuge Close to the waters edge grew
an enormous yellow wood tree, and to
this she staggered, thinking to climb
it and seek shelter in its boughs,
where, as she hoped, she would be safe
from wild beasts. Again fortune be
friended her, for at a distance of a few
feet from the ground there was a
great hole in the tree, which she dis
covered was hollow. Into this hole
she crept, taking her chance of its be-
ing the home of snakes or other evil
creatures. to find that the interior was
wide and warm. 1t was dry also, for
at the bottom of the cavity lay a foot
or more Of rotten finder and moss
brought there by rats or birds. Upon
this finder she lay down, and, covering
herself with the moss and leaves, soon
sank into sleep or stupor.

The Clarion describes the late un'
pleasantness up there as follows:
Tuesday morning at about nine
o'clock A. Fl. Mouton drove into
town at breakneck speed, shouting
"They are coming; get ready!'
Pandemonium ensaed; the members
of the court house mob ran for their
guns and rushed for the courthouse;
negroes took to their heels and left
town; dago shops and negro shops
closed their doors; negro woman
tainted; one of the mob in running
across the street fell fat on his fore
most side and rolled like a barrel.
Those who yer not citizens" mere
ly got out of the way of the scared
mob and laughed in their sleeves at
such ridiculous proceedings on the
part Of a lot of sensible men. Their
fright, luckily, was of short duration
as 10 a few minutes three OF their
friends rode into town carrying
shotguns, and this was the cause OF
the STAN pede.
Soon after this the sheriff
arrived, and, incompany with
a double, barrelled shotgun, pro-
ceeded to the courthouse to de-
mand its surrender and, in case
of refusal, to march his posse which
he had left about three miles away.
into town and capture the temple of
justice, of which he is the only legal
custodian. He met the mayor, and
learned Of the agreement by which
the mob was to be dispersed. Short
ly after the mayor dismissed his men
and peace was. declared. Sheriff
Fontenot then rode out and dismiss-
ed his posse.
