SAVING HIS REPUTATION

Among the passengers awaiting for the
arrival of the train at a Carolina station
were a deputy marshal and a prisoner,
vino had BEEN sentenced to the pcniten-
tiary for making moonshine whisky. The
officer had such confidence in his pTis-
oner that he had not handcuffed him,
and the man walked about the platform
unrestrained and said farewell to his
friends. Presently his wife arrived, and
the two stood aside for a little talk.
She seemed to communicate a piece of
news which greatly disturbed him. and
after three or four minutes she turned TO
a passenger and said:
My ole man Is gwine up to prison fur
two vars fur stillin', and he's jest maxim
a fule o. himself. A lOokin' at him as he
stands thar what would yo' say was the

Her husband slouched over and she told

him what the passenger had said. and
added:

vars. and it'll BE- the death of yO' in

led Bill

"Of course not. You'll have to turn

Bill, yo' never kin stand it-neverI"
exclaimed the wife. The news will cum

But what am a-goin' TO do?' asked
the husband. =
Git away. The officer amt lookin'.
and yo' jest make a break down the road
and into the woods. and the boys Will
help yo' to git away"
Bill drew a long breath. took one look
around and then made a bolt for II. For
about ten yards he ran we'll, but then his
pace slaCkened and the officer easily
overhauled him. When he was brought
back his wife was in tears, and approach

Folks thought the dispute might wear
itself out In year or two. but IL didn't.
II kept right on for twenty long years
and never grew cold. Eben would have
gone to Indiana to live but he didn't
want to leave Silas behind to crow over
him. and Silas would not go to Syracuse
to run a saw-miH but for the same rea-
son. At length Eben lay on his dying
bed. and just the minute the doctor told
him his case was hopeless, he sat up and
said: ---.a
