on the BeardstoWn road and of hun
sry wolves infesting the night. Star
light had become lost in thickening
mist, and as Antywine pushed on he
felt the sting of rain in the face. He
tried to distinguish a track which
ought to darken the pallid turf near
this place, and set out in the direc-
ton of Beardstown.
He heard at his left the suction of
horse feet in mud. It came nearer.
and he braced himself to spring at the
bride, if he had been so fortunate as
thus to intercept Peggys captor. But
Two horses, instead Of one, plunged
up from a slough, and swept past him
in a tearing race toward Beardstown.
"Shickshack and Sieur Abe" thought
Antywine. He shouted after them.
but they did not hear him. There was
so little travel at that season he felt
sure these riders were in pursuit of
Peggy, and comforted, he followed
lightly on, keeping to the spongy dead
grass by the roadside
The humid forest stretching from the
bank of the Sangamon still darkened
his way with skeleton trees. He
passed an empty cabin which he had
seen once before when hunting

Though he had lived so long among
English-speaking people at Belleville
that their language had become in a
measure his own, Antywine never

times exchanged for one of linsey, but
buckskin breeches, molding> his supple
limbs down to his moccasins, he al
ways wore, making them himself, as
his father had done before him. In
different to weather, he stepped on
through darkness and was within
hands reach of an unsteady object
before he saw it.
AntyWine gave laughing shout to
scare wolf and followed it by an ex-
clamation. He lifted the topping fig
ure in his arms and ran back with it
to the empty cabin.
Peggy had a blanket around her, but
she was wet and cold and seemed
partially stunned. The puncheons or
split logs which foored the cabin
sagged inward as if a sill had rotted
at the farther side, and the chimney
was ruin upon it's own hearth. Per-
haps wolves or wild hogs made this
place a lair. Antywine had not his

dragged aside from it's opening and
made seat for Peggy.
"Stay here, sweetheart" spoke Anty-
wine, using an English word which
he did not quite understand, but trans
lated in his own mind as "little one"
He made the circuit of the walls,
kicking his way in the dark, satisfy
ing himself that no beast housed with
them. Then he sat down on the door
where he could shelter Peggy from
the wind.
Arc you hurt, sweetheart?'
Peggy found her voice with laugh.

and fell down, and maybe I was
pitched on my head. This blanket was
round me so tight that fought to get
my mouth and nose and hands out.
1t seemed like there were a dozen
horses racing, and I thought they
would all run over me- But when I
got up I was beside the road, and could

"Of course, it must have been that

The rain beat upon shingles and
spouted from the cabin caves. There
was snugness in being housed after so
much anxiety and exertion.

THE MARcUM ASSASSINATION.

Lexington, Ky, May 1.-THE cap
ture of Curtis Jett, charged with the
assassination of J.. b. Marcum, in
Jackson, Monday. vas accomplished
without bloodshed at three O'Clock
Sunday morning. He is now in the
Clark county Jail at Winchester.
Bearing a warrant which had been
sworn out by Sam Jett, uncle of the
accused, Sheriff McCord and a posse
of seven left Winchester at midnight
Saturday. Reaching Jackson's Ferry,
ten miles distant, at 2:30 a. m, they
put away their buggies and crossed
the Kentucky river to Madison coun-
ty in canoes. They proceeded on foot
to the home of Mrs. A. Haggin, Jett's
mother, two miles from the ferry. Six
of the posse were stationed around
the dwelling and Sheriff McCord and
Deputy Stokeley approached the
front door and knocked. Jett's moth
err answered, and after some parley
admitted that Curtis was within. They
were admitted. and found Jet awake.
but still in bed. He shook hands with
the sheriff. and said he would give nc
trouble. Reaching under his pillow
he drew out his pistol and turned il
over to his mother to keep. He made
no show of resistance, and was land

house Saturday night from jackson
he proceeded to draw his pistol on
him and ordered him to get out of
the neighborhood. Haggin went to
Richmond and swore out a warrant
charging Jet with breach of the
peace by assault with a pistol. In the
Jail Jett was communicative on all
matters save the killing of Marcum.
"Ill get out of this all right" was
the only statement he would make
that could be construed as a refer
ence to the charge. He said he want
ed to be tried in Breathit county. He
was bitter in d%enouncing his uncle
who had him arrested, and said tina

he was at liberty.
When asked in reference to tn,

that he killed Marcum, he simpl.
sneered and replied:
"What's that to you?"
To Sheriff McCord he was equal,
non-communicative as to the Marcun
tragedy. Jett is 2S years of age, ath
letic in build, with deep-set, keel
eys, and has bushy, red hair. Tha
he submitted to arrest was an agree

Jet denied that he drove his ster

raigned Tuesday, and it is suppose
transferred to the jackson distric
for trial.
