Good Time for Action

The present generation has a right
to expect the building of improved
highways in the last analysis
are the most economical. 1t requires
no great amount of argument to prove
that a hard-surfaced highway will not
cost as much to maintain as gray
eled road does. There is considerable
difference in the expense, and no good
reason why the auto owner should
not have the benefit of the saving that
paved highways are certain to bring
about. 1t is the time for action

A MOUNTAIN PRISON
By R. P. Tiller.

II was on one of those beauti-
full autumn mornings that we so
often see in these magnificent
Appalachians that Boon Coud n
took down from the rack il the
little log cauin' his favorite
breech loader. He began to make
ready for the sport of squirrel
hunting which at this season Of
the year, broug..t back to the
mountaineers instinct of long ago
During the autumn months, small
game such as squirrel was more
numerous in these mountains
than they were during the re-
naming part of the year. There
being generally bountiful sup
ply of nuts up on which they
could feed, and it was also during
this seas,n Ct tie year that they
stored away supply for winters
use.
After he had thoroughly cleaned
and oiled his gun, he threw it
across his shoulder in the cid
hunters style, and made lis way
up the mountain side in the di-
rection OF a suitable place for
the game for which he was look
ing: When he had reached the
little patch of woodland, which
consisted principally Of gum and
hickory, not the faintest sound
of the rodents in their merry acts
of nut cracking. In making a tho
rough investigation of the sur
roundings he soon saw that a
more fortunate hunter than he
had visited the place before him.
Judging from the large number
of empty shells scattered over
the ground, he had enjoyed quite
bit of sport, and no doubt had
carried away a large number OF
squirrels.
Being somewhat disappointed
ever his unsuccessful catch, he
sat down under one of the sturdy
hickories to mediate on the con-
tinuation of the hunt. While in
this position he spied directly be-
tween his knees in the soft soil,
the strange footprint which SEEM
ed to be that of a very large
man. This raised his curiosity
very much, and ca" ing his
ivestigations farther, he quickly
found that the intruder had made
his way toward the spring which
was some distanc down the hollow
After he had finally satisfied his
anxious eyes, he too decided to
take a stroll off in the direction of
the spring and get cold drink,
thinking that here he could join
the ether supposed hunter in a
search for game.
Something in Boons heart was
urging him in another direction.
Once again he bent towards
The ground, only to look at the
same big track which was taking

straight course toward Il

swamp.
This time he formed different
opinion. From the careless steps,
it could not be that of hunter.
He was fully aware of the fact
that a hunter in these mountains
must take the greatest precaution
to not disturb game by the break
ing Of brush and the rafting of
leaves, lest they hear and rush to
places of safety.
These things had been ignored
by the heavy and somewhat awk,
ward fellow as he strobe down
the hill. mot a hunter, not a
hunter, mumured Boone as he
cast his eyes in the direction he
cime.
When Boone was only a lad he
had heard many times of the
Hatfield Mccoy feud.
The news papers through their
nony articles had made an ever
lasting impression upon his mind
Their deeds as outlaws had
compelled them to flee to the
mountains to escape punishment.
Boone was now thinking seriously
that these mountains were occu-
pied by them, and it quickly came
to hi n that he was nearing one of
cheese abodes.
What must he do? In case he
had formed the right conclusion,
was too late to retreat.
If hi presence had been detected
oy these men. presuming tha'
they really were outlaws, an at
tempt to flee in the opposite d.
rection would mean his murder.
He now felt that he had taker
4 big chance on his safety already
b. following the footprints to this
extent, and concluding he couIc
not make the situation worse, cor
-tinued his exploration.
On nearing the spring, the foo
prints became exceedingly hume
rous and of different shapes ant
sizes which denoted there were
more occupants in the mountain
than the one whose trail he ha.
been following.
Suddenly Boon's ear caught tie
harp report of rifle
A shower of bullets rained
down upon him. Aluho pierced
slightly many times with ba' Is
hot from rifle barrels, he he, I'd
hoarse voice utter.
"Tell us immediately what is
your business here in these noun
tains'?
On looking up from his rec
lined position, his eyes met with
a huge figure aiming a heavy
.'evolver at his temple.
Ito be continued.
