 revealed. and Slater worked terrible revenge
 | .. SherlR McMIlIan Killed. On February 3rd. four months after 1 the interview with Stinson in the swamp, came the last murder commit
 ted by Slater. Sheriff Ed McMillan of Escambia County, Alabama, being shot from ambush.
 Since the murder of Stewart, an un- relenting chase for Slater had been kept up by the officers and posses of
 citizens of Escambia and Baldwin Counties. This, together with the work
 of the, Pinkertons and secret service of the Louisville and Nashville, had made that section of the country rath-
 CT too warm for Slater, even with the protection of St. Luke. Sheriff McMil- Ian had found that the negro had gone across into Florida. and. selecting a posse of trusted men, he started into
 Florida. On the February night in question. he and his posse were walk ing down the railroad track near Bluff Springs By one of those strange, un- canny freaks that fate delighted in playing it was not very far from the spot where Slater had murdered the
 
 The night was one of quiet beauty, a glorious full moon flooding everything with q radiant sheen. The stagnant water in the fetid marshes gave back glints of silvery shafts. All nature seemed to mock at thoughts of tra- gedy. Suddenly a group of thick trees on the left of the track were lighted by gash. then sharp report. and poor Ed McMillan had shared the fate of Beaufort. Brewton and Stewart Slater knew the brave Escambia County sheriff by sight and the night being as bright as if the monday sun were glowing. the demon had easily picked him out of the group, and shot him down.
 A runner hurried to Bluff Springs, | where the news was flashed to Mont | Eomery.

1 Within the next few days every ham, 1 let country store and railroad station
 had their walls covered with glaring
 posters. The sum of $1,05O was now | the price set on the head of the mur- derer and outlaw. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company offered
 $35O, the citizens of Brewton. $500, the State of Alabama $150 and the County Of Escambia $250. South Alabama was
 an armed camp. In the villages almost
 condition of martial law prevailed, Little more than a month after the Bluf Springs tragedy. four determined
 men waited near that same Perdido from which Superintendent Mckinney had gone to the swamps for the inter- view with Stinson, six months before,
 One of these men was trying to avenge
 the death of a brother. He was Sheriff
 James McMillan, who was filling the
 office of his murdered brother The
 other three-J. l.. McGowan, and two
 brothers by the name of John Johns and Joe Johns, were intimate friends of
 the lamented Stewart.
 Along in the afternoon. to dispel
 suspicion, Sheriff McMillan boarded q passing freight train and left Perdido. The other three had not been seen, and the idea of the sheriff was that If Sla- ter or his companions wero watching, they would see him get on the freight train and think that the desperado would be safe to come from under cover.
 The ruse worked. and almost before the numbering freight train had gotten out of hearing. a negro stole from the woods, An evil-looking, copper-colored fellow he was, walking arsenal Around his waist was a leather belt filled with rows and rows of Winches- | ter cartridges, while scabbards on each side of him held a brace of heavy 1 A Colt revolvers. Stuffed in his right 1 goot leg was the celebrated Winches- ter. Small wonder 1t was that the | nerves of three men concealed in the | store tingled, quickencd and trembled | just a little.

 How all this had originated Stinson explained It was the night of De cember 20, 1891. in the little town or Milton.

One of the negroes wore brilliant red hood with a mask and horns. q get up that filled the occult-loving ne groes with reverential awe. Two Of the negroes were from the Navy Yard at Pensacola. two from the town of Pensacola. one from Moline, two from Bay Minette and one from Pollard With a great show of mysticism the Mephisto-like leader was arranging the papers for the initial organization of '"The United States Sons and DauGh- ters of St. Luke" The initiation fee was pretty high and as each of the money of several others the sum of s360 was collected that night.
 One of the first conditions demanded of the "charter members" was tho swearing of blood curdling oath to care for in every way and pro- tect to the death the person of Morris Slater. The red leader then. with HIS pllCldI seal, gave the circle of credulous, much impressed negroes eight charters" which licens- cd them to organize lodges and raise money for the above purpose in their different localities
 After the interview Stinson disap- peared in the camp, and once again crossing the creek Superintendent Mc- Kinney set out on his tramp back to Perdid more successful than he had hoped He knew now why Slater could take so many chances He was secure behind the impenerabIe walls of 'The Sons and Daughters of St. Luke"
 Stinson kept this promise. and for some months wrote to the Superinten- dent Finally came a letter saving that Slater had his suspicious aroused In order to allaN those suspicious he said that he Was going on a hunting trip with Slater From that day to this nothing has ever been heard of Mark stinson.

of the negro and before the railroad official left him Mark Stinson had promised to try and get Slater, In the depths of that Baldwin County swamp. with only the great trees listening Stinson cleared up what had hitherto proved deep mystery To the rail- road official he made "clean breast and explained why the negroes, and many whites of that section were firmly convinced that Morris Slater was possessed of superhuman powers. why 1t was that they looked on him as a kind of demi devil. The numer- ous escapes from capture and death lots of them exaggerated when pour ed into the terror stricken brain of illiterate whites and blacks, had given him a power among those people greater than the most tyrannical ruler of feudal England ever had over his subjects.

YOUNG TREES AND CHILDREN.
Little Story Told Before n Congress


 Representative Chalk Beeson of Kan sas Is the head of a forestry station that gives trees to farmers.
 In an address to a women's congress Mir Beeson said:
 Trees are like children. In the be- ginning they give us a great deal of trouble and worry. but in the end we are very proud of them.
 Young trees are vexatious. Youns children are vexatious. I know a man who sat in his study the other after noon writing a speech when his little son called shrilly from the garden: Papa. papa, look out of the win- dow.
 What a nuisance children are, grumbled the man. but nevertheless hs put down his pen, and with a half smile he advanced to the window promptly and stuck forth his head.
