HEADLESS HORSEMAN,
Guards the Graves of the Daniel Boone
Family.

Down between two high hills in Meade
mercus descendants of Daniel Boone are
buried. The hills are heavily wooded and
the elements have played havoc with the
old-fashioned tombstones, a number of
them bein" sunk far into the ground
and others having fallen to pieces The
spot is a SleWsnma one. and there is a
legend connected with it which invari-
ABLY reminds one of the Legend Of
Sleepy Hollow told by Washington
Irving.
The story of the old graveyard and the
headless horseman has been handed
down from generation to generation in
Meade county. and woe be to the young
swain who passes along the county roau
after midnight.
During the civil war. it is said two
brothers. one a Union sympathizer. and
the other Il sympathizer With the Con-
federacy, We're riding along the road
just at midnight. They .quarreled, Onu
one of the brothers threatened to Kill
the other with sword, whereupon the
brother who was unarmed drew his horse
into the cemetery and started off to
escape. HIS brother pursued him and
uetoplldieu MN With the sworn. II Is
said that the horse ran on carrying the
headless body of the man on his back.
1t is now said that the headless horse
man rides through the cemetery every
night when the clock strikes r. Nearly
every negro i'm Meade county claims to
have seen the headleSS horseman, and
one old eN-Slalve, vino was out possum
hunting and suddenly found himself in
the cemetery al midnight 1t is told,
heard the echo of the falling hoofs of
the hOrseman's charger and died from
fright. CourerJ Journal.

herself was kept curtain hidden. The
other Mohammedan women Were kind

on her health and no doubt her feeling
of isolation and remoteness from her

God broke her heart. Abid, who had
money to crafty her every whim, came
here to the mountains then and had
this house built for her. The lower
rooms at the back are built against the
mountain. They are so damp and dark
that we keep them closed altogether.
