THE YANKEE

turned his boss back to the creek that led
up into the Pine Gap country, and towards
it he started. feelin his way along in the
blacklist night, he said it was, that ever was
sent to this earth 1t was a good many
miles, and long miles too,-1niles lined with
rattlesnakes and copperheads and things
like them,-afore he got to the widest
part. OF course he didn't have no way o
tellin' whar he was at, 'cept by guessin'.
Near daylight he crawled up on the face
of big cliff and into little cave, whar he
hggered that he could watch a good deal o
ground the next day.
When the day had come Mart was lyin'
thar in his onetime bars den wide awake
as you please, and wishin' he had about
two of Granny Carriers BOYS and two of her
huckleberry pies along with him.
Well, along up in the shank O the mornin'
Matt seen glimpse of big, strappin' man
with bag full o somethin' go a walkin' up
the creek. Pretty soon here come another'n
and yit another'n. Matt believed then
that thar was another still in Pine Gap sides
that n he'd DESTROYED. He was tempted to
crawl out of his cave and foller them three
fellers; but he didn't. He laid thar right
still till after dark had come, when he crept
out and moved his hidin' place half a mile
up the creek, ana az III went l1lIO HOle III

And the next day he looked down below
him, and seen that they was big still
settin' in thicket of scrub that panther
wouldn't tackled to crawl in. The still
couldn't be seen from the top o the cliff on
account o the treetops; and the was no
path leadin into the thicket, which made
it as plain as the nose on yore face that the
moonshiners had been goin' in at diff rent

one spot. The thing was in full blast in a
couple of hours, and the was several men
a workin' around it, who Matt could jest
barely make out through the tops O the
laurels and scrub One man was a maxim
mash; another was a roustin' the fire;
another'n was dom somethin' at the flake
stand. Matt fggered it out that they got
their water by leadin' in stream through
holler logs which was correct. Well. Sir, it
was as well hid as if it had been in the bowls
O the earth.
MATT BRADING had all the nettle-
~ someness of a young man. He couldn't
wait no longer. He slipped down that
cliff under cover O the bushes, crawlin in
a way that would a fooled snake itself, and
begun to sneak towards the thicket. He
took long roundin's on it. SOS not to let any
body that might be a watchin from the
cliff see him. And as he jumped out afore

of his life, and that's shore the truth if ever
it comes out o my old mouth in all o my

that she was offended If she could but have

Countess, fancy she would have changed

| was wondering Just how the Countess
would behave toward me, with the memory
of that unforgetable incident standing be-

A LONG about five o'clock l went to my
