THE LITTLE MOUNTAIN MAID
BY DOROTHY G. CLARK

They were seated on a rustic bench
at a fashionable water place. She
was fair woman Of 26; he a tall,
dark, handsome man Of 80.
Il want to tell you the story of my
life, Miss Arlington" he was saying
Il don't suppose it will prove interest

will not tire you with details, but
will state as briefly as possible the
principal facts. l shall picture to you
a dirty, ill-clad, ill-fed boy, who knew
nothing of schools nor books, at the
age of thirteen. My mother died when
l was quite small, and l stayed with
my father, whose business was work
ing one of those numerous stills in
the mountains of Tennessee, and dodg-
ing the revenue officers, when he was
not too drunk to do so. My duty was
to scout around and warn him if dan

ness | received but kicks and threats.

was more than l could stand, so one
night l went away. All night l ran
through the darkness; every noise in
creased my terror lest l should be
overtaken and carried back. After
sunrise, l crept into thick clump Of
pines some distance from the road,
and with my bundle for pillow l fell
asleep. Several hours later 1 was
awakened by little girl bending over
me-
"'Where'd youns kim from?' she
asked calmly, as l opened my eyes.
l bounded to my feet, expecting that
I was about to be captured and taken
back, but there was no one else in
sight, What youns 'fraid of, boy? she
asked.
After she had repeatedly assured
me that she had not seed anyone after
me, and she .knowed her pa and ma

THE ORIGIN OF FAIRIES.
Many Legends Connected With Their
Existence

Many Legends Connected With Their
Existence.
The fairies are considered by arch.
eologists as the heirs and descendants
of the inferior pagan divinities, good
and evil. The demi-gods and demons
were reduced to this condition when
heathenism was Outwardly brought
to an end. However, the popular be.
lief is that the fairies we're those
angels who, at Lucifer's revolt, did
not openly join him, but felt kind of
sympathy with his wicked aspirations.
When the rebel angels were precipi.
tated into hell these cowardly. spirits
fell no farther than the earth,
on which they are to remain
till the day of judgment, un.
certain during the whole time
whether they are to be pardoned
or condemned. The Irish fairies are
the spirits of the Daanan Druid chiefs,
who after their death took possession
of the chief subterranean caves
throughout the kingdom, and con-
tinued, according to their good or evil
dispositions, to succor or injure the
descendants of the Milesians, by
whom they had been dispossessed.

me again how very sorry she was, and
assured me that was safe as long
as stayed there, and that if anyone
should come she would hide me, where
nobody couldn't never find me- She
invited me into her playhouse, which
was nearby, and there we played until
the evening shadows began to fall,
then I reluctantly resumed my jour-
ney. She walked short distance with
me, and saying that she would have
