In 1869, Lawrence Nutting States Marshal in the Southe ginia. The state was at th ly eoverrun with outl Bushwhackers, high bit- ers and “moonshiners” nestled in all the country-side among the mountains, and far from towns and cities upon lonely road: while gamblers and desperadoes swarm, in and about the settlements. Crime was frequent, and the life of a United States officer was a scries of stirring adventures involving great danger, and demanding as great tact and personal brave But Nutting proved himsel fit for the office. A young man of temper- ate habits, quick wit, splendid physique and dashing courage, he was never at a loss how to ach; and tho vermin that in- fested thatsection soon learned to hate and t him intensely. Many wese the expeditions which the officer had led, many hisescapes, and many the prisoners safely " captured and walled by his eforts; but one man evaded him. The shrewdest and worst “moonshiner” of all was still at large ; despite all his eftorts, g had not yet secured Ruloft' Allen. ! as known throughout tha state. His career had been that of a erin inal from his birth. In the fastnesses of southwestern Virginia, he manufactured whisky upon a grand scale, and was_ the owner of a_dozen or more “queer stills,’ and snapped his fingers at the law. Several times had Nutting sought this quarry; twiee h yet twice he had esc: of which we speak he w: Nutting sat at at his office windowXone evening, mausing, half-dreaming, whe: there fella light touch on his shoulder. I rted up quickly. A stranger stood fore him, “The United States Marshal ” said he, time fair- vs of all ¢ aymen, - counte ortly and “Yes & seated. glancing around. portance to communicate. “This office is eut of hearing from the street,” replied Nutting, and we are by ourselves. You can speak freely.” The other drew a ouple of cigars_ from h lit the other himsclf. Nutting his example; then the man drew his chair nearer, 8o that he sat between the officer and the desk whereon lay his belt and pis- tols, threw open his coat so that the butts of two heavy revelvers might be seen, and blowing the smoke lightly from his clgar, sid in & quiet tone to his companion : “You are desicous of arresting a notsd moonshiner, one Ruloff Allen, are you not 2" “There's no doubt of that,” said the marshal smiling. “I am the man.” Nutting’s cigar never stirred in his lips; 4is hand did not quiver, nor his breath come the guicker. A single sign showed how deeply he was moved; his eyes dilat- ed, then he laughed long end low. % Yon—yom, Ruloff Allen?” My friend, know Alfen. Mis hair is red; yours is black. His face bears a scar across the chin ; yonss a beard. His teeth are bro- ken ; yeurs ase perfect.

Tt was as thomgh two large tigers gazed at each other. Then the outlaw said: “Listen! I am armed! you are not. Iam fully as desperate s man ‘as report makes me. Iam asstrong as you. Do not try to arrest me, for I shall then be obliged to kill you, Ieamehere to have a private talk, but it was necessary that you should know who ¥ am. I will not molest you if you will do the same by me, and give me fifteen minntes to escape when we have finished. Nutting measured his chances. Um armed in the presence of a man to whom murder was not new, he deemed prudence the better past, and replied : “T agree ! o0od,” said Allen, removing his own pistol belt “your word is equal to mine. We shall beth be unarmed. And now I would teHl you a story.” “Then he drew his chair still nearer the marshial, and as the twilight fell and ni came down, ke teld of his life—a ge history, every line intense wi throbbing passien of a lawlessness which made the man what he was. The other lstened breathlessly; the darkness shremded hoth, and the cigars were finished leng before the story was ended. At length, however, the visitor paused, most; and that life has for the past five years been more & mania than ever before, but with a method. Iam and have been secking money and money only. Not 80 widely different, you will say, from all the world, except that my search was without the pale of the law. And now the end bas come. Iam rich. I have enough, and now I desire to return to civilization. You can permit it—you can prevent it. I am an outlaw. Very well!” I will cease out- lawry, wild turn over my stills to the gov- crnment, will swear a great oath, and keep it, too—for my own interests demand it— o become o worthy citizen; and if you “Not your'n, massa! Tank de lord ! T'se pleased, T is, massa. Foun' it yer, doy Dat ar's a seweysido bullet, massa,” ho con tinued, loworing his voice to a whis while his eyes rolled Jiked ships in 1 midst of white and seethine billows: “I know em ! My ole massa he had one cast an’ cartied it many years. Dey neber kill 1o one but do fellers dey’s made for, Massa John, dough, he didn't git a chance for to use his'n,” and the old man chuckled. “A suicide bullet,” said Nutting, with a ile, as ho examined the silver sphere, at's & new idea to me. Why make a special bullet, uncle? 1 should think one of' those deadly enough.” And he pointed toward some of the heayy cartridges belonging to his own pistols which lay on the table near, “Dey mought miss, massa. Yo know de debbil cares for his own, an’ dis bullet is mado by his help, at night, in de grabe- yard, an’ can't miss, I knows ‘'em massa, I's seen ‘em afore.” Then, drawing nearer, hie whispered, “I's made 'em " “And did they do their work ?" Nutting, laughing lightly, “ Doy did, massa,” The officer now opened a drawer in his desk,and took from it an old-fashioned stol, which ho had picked up , and fitted the bullet into its said rusty muzzle, “It's just the thing, unclo. Bring memy flask, and I'l1 load it with the suicide bui- Tot. 1t's best to have it handy by if I get the blues.” He laughed aguii, The servant obeyed. “No use to fix 'im massa. "Twon't only kill de one who it’s made fer, shuah an’ ye couldn’t shoot yerself wid it, nohow.” “Well, uncle, I'll Joad the old smooth- bore, anyway,” said the marshal, suiting the action to the word, “‘and this afternoon we'll try it at & mark. If I miss a half dollar at & dozen paces, Il give up that yow're right. If I hit, your ‘suicide bullet is 10 hetter or worse than a leaden ene.” €Al right, massa, but you won't hit," replied the old darkey. Just as Nutting completed the charging of the weapon, a visitor called, and it was thrust hurriedly i on-hole in the desk. His visitor's s detained him from the office until night, and the plan of the morning was forg 5 pistol with its silver missilo lay vnnoticed for months in the desk. The days and weeks paseed, summer came and went, and fall ripened the year. A dozen times had the marshal organized axpeditions and scoured the country, seek- ing the notorious Allen, but cach time he had returned unsuccesstul. Occasionally a still would be destroyed, or i quantity of liquor seized, but the man himself remain- ed free, and the winter was approaching rapidly. Soon these raids musr be dropped for the year. Nutting chafed under his ill success. One final effort, however, was to be made. Certain information which he knew to be reliable had at last, he felt sure, put the outlaw in his hands, and he looked to his horse’s shoes and loaded his pistols with unusual care. ‘At his orders mounted guards—men on whom he could depend—patrolled all the roads. Upon the morrow at dawn, with a posse of seven fearless mountaineers, he was to storm the very stronghold of the moonshiners, and_to-morrow night would fiind a vacancy either in the government office or the ranks of the illicit distillers. The expedition had thus fur, Nutting be- lieved, been kept a secret. ause of this ho looked forward with strong hopes of success. The officer sat at his desk writing. e had a few pages to complete,a letter or two to prepare for the mail, and somo memoranda to destroy. He might never sit at that desk again. X ‘As his eyes wandered over the mass of papers, documents and duplicate reports, filed neatly away beforo him, he suddenly noticed the bntt end of his old dueling pistol, half hidden in one of the compart- ments, and as the remambrance of how it came there flashed over him, he was about to draw it from its hiding-place, when a shufiling step at the door arrested him, and an instant later an aged and bent woman entered the door, ; The hour was late, and Nutting regarded the new comer with surprise, as he arose to offer her a chair. She accepted it with a whine of thanks, and sank panting into it. The marshal resumed his seat at the desk. “Ye are the gov'ment man, I reckon?” said the woman, after & pause, raising a brown and wrinkled face, half hidden be- neath an immense hood and a pair of green spectacles, toward Nutting. “Yes, madam,” replied that worthy. “I've come a right smart piece to sce ye, for an old woman, I'm true grit, I am, but o gittin’ wore out. These yere mountains are a sight steeper'n they was forty year ago,” and she sighed. “But see here, I'm on business, Lam, I want to talk to ye. You don’t know me, I reckon?” “T can't say that I do,”said Nutting, slowly. “Ireckon not—as ye never sce me be- fore. I'm M len—Bethsheby Allen— an’ my boy he’s Rualoff Allen. Ye've heard of him, mebbe?” and she paused and gazed cunningly into her listener's { “Yes, I know him,” aud the man’s brow darkened. “Wall, now, I'll tell ye. It 'pears yer on a raid arter him to-morrer—ye see I know 4 thing or two—an’ ye've got the boy bad- 1y cooped up this time, shore. Not but what bell fight, an’ some on ye'll catch suthin’ besides moonshiners, My boy’s smart, he is, I tell ye, an’ he'll tote ye round consider’ble afore ye gether im in; but he's cooped all the same, an’ I'm afes ye'll catch him or kill him, An’ I'm mammy, ye know.” “The old hag paused and wiped her eyes. She was a woman even yet, and Nutting’s heart softened towards her, “What can I do in this matter, Mrs. Allen ?” began the marshall, * Your son is S “Never mind what he is—you can save him. He's trapped, catched, cooped. But he's my boy, an’ I want ye to let him go. Take his stills an’ his whisky, take every- Bing—but let him go, an’ Il give ye my word—it’s good, Bethsheby Allen never broke it yit—that in less than three days we'll be—" will accepé the prodigal son, and kill for mo the fatted calf of pardon, all will be well. I came here to ask you to intercede for me, ‘Wil you do so?” Nutting hesitated a moment, This man was a veritable Robin Hood! Could he trust him ?

If you will get a free pardon for me, I will give yov tive thousand—" face paled, and his hand crept toward his hip; then restraining him- self with a scoffing laugh, ho said “Bo it se.

A minute ‘ater the ring of his horse’s hoofs sounded v ugh the night as be rode towards the ‘nountains, The morning following, as Nutting enter- ed his office, his aged servant bowed low before him, extending his brown and wrink- led hand, and said in an awe-stricken voics “Foun’ dis on do floor, massa. S'pose him your'n, bad ting, massa, bad—el ye "low ole nigger to say so?” ¥ The marshal leaned forward in surprise, Lying in the out-stretched palm of the ck was a silver pistol builet. “Why, uncle,” said he, taking it, “this 18 nok wine " “Mrs, Allen, this is impossible. T'll try not to hurt your sow, but capture him I must and shall.” “Bnt if he should capture you—what then?” At these words the green glasses fell, the hood was thrown 1 , the bent fore be- came straight, and before the eyes of the dazed officer stood Rulofl’ All himself, a look of deadly hatred on his face, u heavy revolver in his outstretched hand. Bilence reigned a moment, as the young man ¢azed into the deadly tube before him with nerves tense as steel and a face that paled not, although he knew that he was looking into his open grave. “1 came here to give you one last chance and mysell the same,” hall hissed ihe woonshiner, “That chance is lost to both of us. I go back to the mountaing and outlawn, ctire from active service, pray? It so, do it now. In three minutes I shall kill you!” Slowly Nutting's eye ran about the room. Escape was impossible—help would not come. A single ery meant instant death— Do was lost! His heart sank, Buddenly the butt of the old dueling pistol within the circle of hiy vision.
