which Of the twenty was actually
guilty. The suspicious against Jones
were not evidence. After a month on
the case Gard decided that complete
solution of the mystery was possible
only through working in with the
moonshiners themselves and gaining
their confidence.
So the summer boarder left the Ten
ney farm, stating that his health was
greatly improved but that he would
come back two months later for an
other stay
A week after this there was nailed
up at every post office and courthouse
within hundred miles of Wheeler
a notice of reward for an escaped con-
Wet A short, stout, curly-headed
young outlaw had broken Jail in South
Carolina and when last heard of was
bearing In this direction. Fifty dol
lars reward would be paid for his cap
ture. His picture appeared with the
notice.
After still another week the Jones
children were playing in the woods
back OF their house when a strange
man called them from a distance. The
youngsters approached cautiously. The
man was no less cautious. He was a
short curly-headed young fellow
with stubby beard, with his cloth
ing In shreds and very dirty. He
looked as though he had slept in the
woods for a month. There were
stripes across an under garment that
showed through his open shirt.
DO you suppose" said the man of
rags, that your nav could stake a
hungry man to six or seven dollars
worth of bread and bacon and wait
for remuneration until the executors
Of his estate act?"
"Yuh don't mean yuh want some
thin to eat, do yuh?" said young Lem
Jones.

plain truth is that haven't had any

tacks with a spoon"
Come on" said Lem, bit dizzy
with the unusual words, but anxious
to please.
He led the way to the house where
Mrs. Jones met the hungry man at the
door.
Madam" said the hungry one most
courteously, Il am needing little
something to eat. have been lost in
the woods and without food"
what are they after you for, young
feiler?" inquired Mrs. Jones incisively,

sleeping room OF Todd. With every
rife ready for action they pushed open
the door. The moon coming in at a
window disclosed what seemed to be
sleeping form in the bed. Deliber-
ately the four rifles came to bear
upon it, There was pause and then
from the leader came the order:
'Fire!''
Every finger pressed the trigger of
it's rife. Every hammer came down
on its cap. But no report followed.
Not gun had been discharged.
Come on out in the open, you
sneakin' cowards," came a clamorous
voice from the barnyard that was rec
ognized as being that of Todd. Come
out in the lot and I'll larrup you ALL"
The men in the room looked puz-
zled, one at the other, and then at the
form on the bed. They approached
the latter and found 1t to be but a
dummy to represent Todd. They had
been trapped They would fight their
way out.
The mountaineers charged down
the stairway. AS they came into the
moonlight at the opening of the barn
they faced the tall form OF a man
they knew well. the United States
marshal Of the district. With no gun
in his hands the marshal raised his
hands on high.
Listen, men," he commanded. "A
parley. You are trapped. There are
armed men at every corner of this
building and every man who runs out
of 1t will be shot dead Your powder
has been wet and none of you can
fire a shot. You can't fight armed
men. There is but one thing for you
to do and that Is to surrender"
In the parley that followed the mar
shall asked each man to try his gun
to see If 1t could be fired. None could
respond. The mountaineers found
themselves caught In the very act of
attempting to kill Todd, whom they
had often threatened. They had been
duped and trapped.
So had these young detectives Of
tue new SCnooI worked out most 0lT-
ficult case and one which later proved,
in the courts, to be effective, for every
man arrested is now serving a long
term In prison and the backbone of
the defiance of law in this region is
broken.
"Mr. Summer Boarder," said the cur
ly-haired Bowling, ut is back to the
ribbon counter for you. Your little
vacation is over. But | will say that
you have shown a remarkable intel
ligence in this matter. You called me
in to help you. Little drops of water
put in just the right place saved all
your lives. These mountaineers would
have eaten you up If l hadn't fixed
their ammunition. Please thank
me"

mountains where the sympathy was
all with the man whose hand was
turned against authority and where
many fugitives from the law had
found refuge.
Have you found me out so soon?"
grinned the fugitive. We'll, If must
tell l will say that l Just knocked
hole in a jail down South Carolina
way, cracked the heads of a couple
of armed guards together, robbed the
city marshal of his horse, outran the
sheriff's posse, swan the Elb river
where ford there was none, and lived
on diet OF blackberries for seven
days. Back Of that there was the
little matter of cracking a safe. Other
than that / assure you my conduct
has been the best"
So engaging was the manner of this
young man of the rags from the great
world beyond the mountains that Mrs.
Jones Immediately liked him. He was
a perfect cataract of words and talked
necessarily. She was not able to UNI
derstand half he said but was pleased
with all of it. He ran on glibly but
always stopped short of being smart
In the sense that would call forth
dislike. All the time he was eating
corn bread and bacon with the relish
Of one who has long omitted the
formality of dining.
Such was the introduction of Special
Agent A. Spaulding Bowling into the
Cumberlands, he who played the
cadet In white slave cases, the wild
young man about town in the bucket

Despite the luminosity that existed be-
Jones youngsters and the Lunsford
youngsters were playmates, 80 does
the sociability OF youth break down
the bars set up by maturity. Luns-
ford had boy ten who was wise with
the cunning of the woods and trust
worthy in lending hand in the feuds
to which he was born. This boy, in
playing about the Jones household.
was instructed to pick up every piece
of pasteboard box he could find and
bring those pieces home. Likewise
was he to measure the shoes of the
Jones household, when an opportunity
offered, and tie knots In string to In
dictate their length.
1t was a week before this task had
been completed by the boy, but the
results indicated that the foot of a
certain pair OF shoes in the Jones
home was like unto that Of the man
Of the sawed-off shotgun. Scraps of
white on one side and brown on the
other, and from these had evidently
been made wads for reloading shells.
Thus far was Special Agent Gard
able to carry his case toward solu-
ton. There were twenty men In the
neighborhood who might have been
implicated with Jones, II he were
guilty, in this attempt and in the kill
ing Of Tom Reynolds. There were
twenty and more makers of moon
shine who had been reported or stood
in danger. 1t was hard to~determine

HE GAVE HIS SHIRT OFF HIS BACK
How Italian Officer Travelling on Train
Helped a New Born Baby.

One Of tn ways to say that q man
10 good hearted is to descend TO ex-
pressive Americanese slang and say
"he'd give you his shirt"
A young Italian oficer did exactly
that-gave the shirt on his back to n
baby just born. 1t was during q flight
Of the Italian refugees just after the
Italian army had been tricked by the
Austrians.
Here's-the story:
An Italian ofYicer. who had been q
