MOUNTAINEERS' "DEAD LINE. y
Interstate Feud That Cost the Lives
of Hundreds of Men.

My bOyhood home in HancocG
county, Tennessee, was the scene
of many deadly encounters" said
W. 6. Garyise, now ofSt. Louis,
a reporter for the Washington
Post.
Hancock is in East Tennessee,
away mp in the mountains, and
borders on Virginia. In my youth
full DAYS the state line, which sep
arated il from Lee county in the
old Dominion, was commonly
spoken of as the dead line b."
tween my countrymen and the Nir-
gina mOuntaineers there ragged in
cessant feuds Of the kind that
meant killing whenever there was
meeting, whether accidental o.
premeditated. AS a lad | often
saw wagons driven through the
little town | lived in with one or
more cOrpses of men slain in these
desperate ARRAYS. Whenever q
Hancock man crossed over the
dead line he knew he carried his
life in his hands. and it was the
same with the Virginians.
Il have heard it asserted, and
do not believe it an exaggeratioD,
that in the years of the existence
of this interstate war there were
between $50 and 700 Hancock men
slain. AS they were just as good
shots as their foes, the loss on tn.
Virginia side must have been
equally heavy. Within the last
decade, ] am glad to say, the feud
has almost, if not quite, died out,
and a much better feeling exists
than of yore. But even now, rec
Ollecting what the former condi
tons were, if were to go back to
the old home, I'd feel some hest
tation in crossing the dead line. -

The police tried their utmos,,
but not q clew Of any sort could
they obtain. 1t was generally put
forward as q theory that some
burglar or tramp had found the
garden gate ajar-it was the in
termittent banging of il that had

discovery of the crime ~ had
slipped in, there had been a strug
Gle. as evidenced by the disturbed
state of the room. and that be had
snatchrd up the knife which lay
ready TO his hand, and struck, got
frightened, and hurried away.
The hour Of the deed was the one
definite point. in the case; the
clock had been overturned in the
struggle, aud had been stopped
nj 1916.
1t was IA strangely dramatic 60
incidence, as the newspapers
pointed out, that the bereaved
wife was at that hour uncon
sciously enjoying herself in well
known London ball room.
AS soon as possible Mrs. Pro
there had quilted London, and
journeyed instinctively to the
land of sunshine, her native italy.
and there lived quietly in retire
ment amidst the beautiful seen
cry. RemOrsc for her action she
never knew. But the hot sun
warmed her and blotted out all
memories of the past.
Six months later trial was re
ported in the London dailies. II
was headed 'Thc Murder of Mr..
PrOthcrO."
\ man had been discovered in
possession of certain belongings
of the dead man. He was proved
to be acquainted with the interior
of the house, being, i'm fact, IL dis
charged servant. His movements
had been watched since the crime.
cirumstantial evidence accumu-
lated against him, and Il jury
brought him i'm guilty.
Mrs. PrOtherO read the news
with an ashen face. The next day
she returned to England.
The man is innocent" she told
the aStOunded officials, and then
quietly, without outward sign Of
emotion, she told her story to the
end.
Having finished, she was no
ticed to stagger slightly. She
complained of feeling faint, and
asked for water. An inspector
FASTENED to give her a glass, but
even as she stretched out her hand
to take it she stopped with little
gasp, her hand went up to her
throat in Il cOnvulsive effort. ana
with a faint cry she fell forward
on to the hard stone flooring.
She had gone to face higher tri-

A man with a flushed face and
diSheveled dress sprawled, breath

She listened intently; not a soul
was stirring; the clock on the man

She tried the point on her fin.
ger, then, crossing to the drunken
man, she struck sharply twice,
and flung it away. A cOnvulsive
shudder ran through him; he
mOaned feebly once and then lay
still, whilst she stood by and
watched with grave eyes.
She glanced at her glOves-they
were not soiled. Then, moving
hurriedly but methodically, she
arranged the rOom-a chair over
turned here, a rug kicked up there.
With deliberation she took up the
massive silver inkstand and laid
il on its side, so that a sluggish
black stream trickled across the
polished satinwoOd and dripped
slowly to the floor. Finally she
disturbed a few things on the
mantelpiece, and, taking the clock,
turned the hands backward till
they pointed to 12:45. Then she
dropped it heavily on the thick
bearskin rug. 1t made no noise,
but the mechanism gave Il faint
click and stopped. Then she left
by the way she had cOme-the gar
den gate swinging idly behind her.
After walking Il hundred yards
or so, she saw a cab and called it.
Just us she got in the first heavy
drops of the thunder storm fell
Splashing on the pavement.
She entered Lady Mallison's
ballroom, looking radiant and
charming, within Il few minutes of
the half hour.
Her carriage was more erect
than ever, her laugh rang clearly
and swpetly, her eyes, unclOuded
with trouble, dazzled. those she
danced with.
Some little time afterwards the
man who had spoken TO her earlier
in the evening approached. She
bcckoned to him. You see" she
said, gayly, Il was right when |

YOU may have the next. My head
ache has gone. After, YOU must
feed me; am famiShed."
She was at supper when serv-
ant in livery came dashing up to
the MallisOns' in furiously driv
en- hanson.
Mrs. PrOtherO?" he asked the
Ifootman at the door. ~ must see

lance
There was Minutes colloquy
with the butler, an exclamation
Of surprise, and servant who
knew her by sight was dispatched
70 find her.
What is it? What on earth
can the man want?' she asked, as
the servant, having discovered
her, delivered his message incO-
herently. Il suppose | must go
and see what it is myself
NO, don't do that" said her
companion, rising; "let me speak
to the fellow for you. I'll be back
in "a minute"
He left her, as she nodded with
a smile of thanks, and lifted her
glass to her lips with a steady
hand.
In little he came back to her,
pale and excited, forcing his way
towards her through the crowded
room.
Come out, please-come out
here at once" She trembled
slightly. and did as he bade.

brougham drove her swiftIyaway.
