But to return to this particular band
of Bushwhackers. Their career may
OF may not have been like scores OF
others that were formed during those
dark days However, this band las
been traced out to their final end, and
the last traces have only recently
come to light
Johnson had often tried to find the
hiding place of Mills, but that timIi
man stayed near home and nearly al
ways came after dark, and stayed in
his own bed. But one bright spring
morning, When nature was most beau
tiful Johnson and his band rode up
to the house and surprised Mills COM
ing out of the door Calling on him to
surrender they dismounted, told. him
to bid his wife goodbye, and led him
amid his wife's prayers and lamenta-
lions to tall white oak just a hun
bred yards from the house ana hung
him up in the sight of his family. AS
they swung him up Johnson raised
his mask and bid Mills look on the
man whose life he had ruined and
whose revenge was now very sweet
AS they rode away Charlie Goodson

good looking widow we left behinr.

some time and try to console her" A
horse laugh followed, "the very
thing" said Johnson. "She's got two
hundred acres of fine land with all the
fixings. We will dance at the we'd
ding, and you could afford to treat
the crowd"
They rode on some miles further
where they were to regulate couple
of negroes. Mrs. Crane was wom-
an of a very high temper and cruel
disposition, and her slaves had been
quite an annoyance to her, since her
husband had been away In the war.
Captain Crane, they had always obey
ed without a murmur for he was low
ed ad respected by them all, but as old
Uncle lube used to say, "Massa's,
mighty fine man, but old Miss is
debbel'' Now as their master was
away and prospects of freedom loom
ed ahead they became uncomfortable.
Several had run away to the North,
and Mrs. Crane was suspeeting the
rest to try and break away and she
was holding tight rein over them.
She had been obliged to send out to
some of her neighbors to come in and
whip some of them for her. But she
had one case that whipping did no
good, SO she told Polly Clayburn, who
she knew had brother among the
bushwhackers, that she wished them
to visit her. So to her house they
now made their way. She was glad
to see them she told them, she did
not know them all, but she did not
care who they were, and they need
not have worn their masks as it did
them no good one way or the other.

wanted you to whip a house-mad, and

earth and is a perfect thorn in the
