A1 this was Greek to Iva, aui it was lit
tle short of that to Jorry. Ho know some
thing of ft crime iu the past, but the old
people at B g Tavern had never made a
court laut of their sou and heir. Ha now
realised that Brono knew of the past, and
he w.:s terrd ly anxious to curry favor with
the desperado.
“Hist, B:ono!”and the stolid counten
ance of Jerry o bent suddenly for
ward. He glanced significantly nt Iva, and
conti ued ‘ There s money yet to bo made
fellow. I've a p'int or two worth workiu,’
and I will help you if yo’ll 'ciprocato, Mr.
Brono. ”

at once.
CHAPTER XIV.
PISTOL SHOTS.
“Open up, Jerry, I'm listening."
“This is not the place, Brono. I’d ruther
see you in bilversond. Step this way a
moment, won’t yo?"
The two men withdrew a little distance,
but both were watching Iva, and one held
a co- ed revolver in bis hand, so that the
girl deemed it the part of wisdom not to
make an attempt at Right Mist then.
“As heaven hears me, I didu't have noth
ing to do with no detective, ” asserted Jerry,
in a tone th&fc certainly must have been
convincing, ‘'l’m your friend. Brono, and
will jineyou in any money-maltin’ business
yo’vti a mind to suggest."
“ i’ou Bui l you had one of your own on
the tipis,” returned the outlaw in a dis
satisfied tone of voice.
“I have, but ’
“Ther ano huts about it, Jerry Swayno.
You’ve got to play fair w th me or take the
consequences. 1 ve more than ono friend in
these hills, let me toil you, and it’s a ques
tion if we ain't stronger than any crowd the
law-and-order folks can scare up. On
which side of the liu > do you fight, young
ster ?”
“On tho aide of beauty and booty.”
“It is well. I knew your father before
ye. and he was a tough oue; I expect you’re
like him—shake.”
Tho two clasped hands, exchauged looks,
and evidently understood each other.
Then they walked bac!: to Iva.
"Mot here,” said Burden Brono, when
questioned about resting for a time.
►Someone has been hero, somebody not
our fri< nds, and it is well enough that we
put distance between this cabin and our
selves. ” Then tho outlaw turnod from the
spot and bade Iva follow. Although he
distrusted tho innkeeper’s son, Brono felt
disposed to give him rope, even though
in so doing he exposed his own person to
a bullet from tho rear.
A half hour's Tamp brought the trio to a
beautiful covered with trees and
luxuriant grass The trees were not so
dense as to slir-de the ground, and conse
quently the grass was permitted to grow in
abundance.
“Haiti”
This word was flung sharply in the faces
of the three, a id immediately thereafter a
man clad like a mountaineer stepped from
the shelter of a tree and leveled a Win
chester repeating rifle at the breast of Jerry
Swayne.
“it’s all light, Tige," assured Brono
with a low laugh. “The man is my friend
Jerry, from town; Jerry, this chap is a pard
of mine, Tiger Tom.
Jerry regarded the stranger grimly. He
eaw before him a man as broad-built and
stout as himself, and whose faoo wore that
stern, stolid expression characteristic of the
bull dog. The tavern-keeper’s sou rea
lized at onoe it was not likely that he oould
be used as a tooL
“Conduct the young lady to the house,
Tige. I will call and explain in a little
time.”
Iva was beooming more alarmed than
ever at the outlook, but like a sensible girl
she resolved to borrow no trouble until
actual danger menaced her.
She followed tho man in among the trees.
H- came to a halt, after a walk of ten rods,
in front of a small hut built against the
side of a hill.
“Go inside,” commanded Tiger Tom,
holding open tho door.
“ Will you not permit me to remain out
side, sir? I will not go away; it is so
pleasant here ”
“Inside with you,” he ordered surlily,
and much against her wishes Iva obeyed
She found herself in a room about twelve
feet squire, with skins of wild animals for
a carpet, and several stools distributed
about the room.
There was but one window, and that in
front beside the door. Iva was beginning
to feel extremely faint for want of food,
and ou account of her late night escapade.
There was a narrow door at the back of
the,apartment that seemed to open into the
hill Iva tried this to find it locked.
She turned about with a sigh to see a
pair of gleaming black eyes watching her
through the window. Tiger Tom was on
guard, and Iva sa k to a seat, and leaned
•wearily against the wall.
Her bundle of clothin'r had fallen bv the
wayside and was lost. The girl felt tired
and w:etched indeed at that moment, and
soon she found hereof wondering what had
become of L vie Gray, and of that other
one whose letter had awakened strange
JVelin :s in her bosom, and sent her in mad
flight from her home.
The minutes passed slowly.
Ail hour went bv. and then a quick,
sharp sound startled the dreaming maiden.
She came to her feet and stood j eering out
into the woods.
She had heard the sharp crack of pistols
—two shots in tho direction Jerry and the
outlaw must be. Tiger Tom did not move
from his po** tion near the door outside,
lie was scanning the distance with keen in
tensity, however, ana soon He, as well as
captive Iva, saw a single person approach
ing.
It was Burden Brono.
He was plucking at his mustache fu
riously. and seemed excited and nervous as
he came up.
I h ito do it. pard,” said Burden, as he
halted and laid a hand on Tiger Tom’s
shoulder. It was my life or bis, and I
was too quick for him, that’s all.”
I\a reeled from the win low with a low
cry of horror. Sire realized that a muraer
had been committed.
CHAPTER XV.
A FATAL SHOT.
Jerry Swayue watched Iva as she moved
away in company wi;h Tig r Tom, and a
look of displeasure darted fiom his shad
owed ey-s ilc did not relish the idea of
Barden Bro o mak ng so free with his
property. It wu in this way that the sor
did nature of the innkeeper’s son looked
upon the girl he cal ed cousin.
“Come!
Burden Brono tapped the young man on
th • sho.ii h with that one word. He then
led the way down the edge of the woods to
a p ilit where the hushes grew thickly
al ng the edge of a hidden sink.
U .or a tree, on a 1 -g, the outlaw sat
down and Jc; i v a;-. :m and u position at one
end of the log facing him.
“Now v. hat s all this rigmarole for?" de
mand i iic. in a voice not musical
with h itisfaciion.

stout suion of the house of Sway no merely
said
"I in always ready to hoar a leoture, Mr.
*ad."
“Id lika to begin by asking you a few
qutit’Ons, Jerry Bwavuc."
“Well, what are von waili for.'"
“Only tn get luy bearings, hm the bailors

chewing bin mustache sharply, and keeping
ouo eye tiled on hin roinPaniou’s fare "I
want to learn how much you know of a
little circumstance, a sort of episode in the
life of your honorable progenitors. You
understand?"
‘ Noti thing."
“Yon aro proud of the name you bear,
, arc you not? 1 '
“Not noticularly," returned Jerry, Tv©
known dad to do some mean things in my
time •
“For instance, the killing of that old man
two nights ago."
The straight eye of the ontlaw was pierc
ing Jerry now with the penetration of blue
I
In spite of himself a nervous chill struck
through the thick cuticle of the outlaw’s
listener, and he dropped his he id with a
low growl.
“J don’t know a thing about that,” he
flnallv managed to say. "I don't believe
dad did harm the critter, though that ain't
savin’ he’s too good to do it if ho thought
'twas necessary."
“What do you mean by necessary? ’
“Confouna you, Burden, what Are you
drivin’ at? I ain't on the w itness stand,
Mme tell yen. So for the killing of old
Bam Fredon it's pretty generally understood
that the crime lies betwixt two pcrsOnl,
neither one of ’em bemg dad.”
“Who then?”
"Fclkß say that the old man’s companion
killed him, while olhtr folks s.iy that ’tvas
Burden Brono who did tho work. As for
me, I have no quarrel with either side-I
simply don't care
"That is a fine state of mind to be in,”
rntorted the outlaw. "Do you know that
old Lucius tiuayue had a motive for killing
that old man? I can only suspect the mo
tive, sinoe I wasn’t near, and don’t really
know whether the man murdered was the
one I think he was or not""
•‘Who and you think he might be?"
“A man who lived in New York, in the
Fame houso occupied by Lucius 8 ayne
and his wife fourteen years ago—do you
call to mind the time?”
U I remember something of it, although I
was a boy of eight then. "
"Do you remember how tho family of
Thornrift was brokon up?"
“I remember that a child died, or disap
peared, and that Mrs. Thornrift went crazy,
and the whole family was torn up badly.
Directly after, we left.
"Exactly. You remember, also, that Mr.
Thornrift was found dead in the stable,
with a crushed skull, and ’twas said that he
had been kicked by a horse?"
“I have some faint recollection of such a
thing," agreed Jerry.
“ Do you remember what befell the stable
man, Foster Wondol?"
“I can't say that I do."
"I will tell you. He was waylaid and
thrown into the river, and some people be
lieve he was drowned. Why did such a
fate happen tc him? Simply because he
by ao iaent overheard a plot to rtiiu tho
Thornrift family. I have siuce learned
(h it the stablemAn did not die. 110 lived
to devote after years to searching for the
lost Edna. I do not think he found her,
but I imagine that he was close on the
scent wheu he met a silencer under the
roof of Bog Tavern."
The outlaw’s listener uttered a low cry
when he censed speaking.
“Good heavens! you do not mean to say
that "
“I do. The old man murdered under
your fathor’s roof was Foster Wondel, the
supposed dead stableman of Grant Thorn
lift, and it must be that the old villain
learned the truth, and murdered Wondel
to save himself.”
“Egad! this ia a lovelaljou," uttered stout
you g 8 wayne under his breath.
“Is it? I might tell much more."
“Go on, B ouo; lam much interested,"
breathed Jeirv. eagerly.
It was evident that the young man spoke
tiu’v when he said that the outlaw's story
came in tho nature of a revelation to him.
lie was eager and anxious to 1 urn more of
the past, at which his father had hinted on
more than one occasion, but had failed to
give the desired information.
Inauswerto the eager urging of Jerry,
Burden Brono drew a miniature from his
pocket and held it up to the gaze of his
companion.
“Did you ever see that before?”
“Great Oasar! it s Iva!” exclaimed Jerry,
trembling with intense excitement. “Where
in the world did you get that? I nevei
knew of her goiug to town, or of having
her picture took. ”
A smile radiated across the visage oi
Burden Brono.
“It doi s look like Iva, that’s a fact; but
the woman was twenty when it was taken—
it is Iva’s mother."
“And my aunt ”
“Lucifer, man!” exclaimed Brono; “do
you imagine that an aunt of yours looks
like that? You are bias, heinous. Iva’fl
mother was a lady. Let me tell yon a so
cret, Jerry Swayne. The little girl I’ve
cooped in yonder is sole heiress to a mil
lion, and the man that wins her will have
the controlling of that money. ”
“Gruc ous! I didn’t s‘pose it was so much;
but dad said there was a powerful heap
weut with Iva whoa she maned, aud that's
why I am to make her my wife. ”
“You make that child your wife?”
There was a sudden look of sternness on
the face of the stalwart outlaw.
“She’s sixtoen.
“And yet a more child. No man shall
wed her while Bhe remains in ignorance of
the past. I know the man who presides at
Bog Tavern. Witn cool devilrehness h
has planned to win the fortune of the man
he murdered aud flung at ihe foot of the
horses long ago; blithe shal not succeed.
He played false with me and 1 am his ene
my henceforth aud forever! I could and
| would strike hands with Robert Ran
ger ”
I “Robert Banger,” interrupted Jerry,
i quiokly. “I have h* ar 1 that name.”
“Yes: but I’ll enter into no explanation.
I called you aside for the purpose of learn*
ing your plans, to know exactly how you
aid I s’nnd with reference to each other;
| whether we are to bo friends or foes; this
was why I questioned you in regard toyoui
knowledge of the pint. You know less
than I supposed, even being ignorant of
your own name, but I find y ou imbued with
the venom of the old man who played false
and loose with mo. Do you know’, Jerry
Swayne, that your old father would tremble
in his boots did he know that 1 was in this
vic nity? lie would gla Hv give h g good
right hand to know that I was dead and six
feet under ground ho may imagine that I
am there. I do not ki ow. but I mean to
get even with him before I di \ mark that
dowD. 1 think I have the winning card now
in my baud, and I mein to play it for all
that it is worth; understand?”
The whit© of that defective ere glared
glassdy at Jerry, while tho other glittered
with keen defiance.
The younger villain began to realize that
, in the notorious outlaw he was not to find
a friend after all, but rather a rival of most
formidable magnitude.
Had there been no Tiger Tom within call
Jerry would have attempted a sudd shot
under the circumstances he dare not try it.
To shoot Burden Brono would bo no crime,
but in the eyes of the people a prnis -
worthy deed, and there was a reward back
of it all
Nevertheless Jerry hesitated.
He realized that the man before nim, of
giant frame and no small intelligence, w s
a tough customer to deal with; yet, if he
would regain Iva aud win a fortune, he must
! dial with him.
“I hope you’re not going back on me,
! Burden." finally spoke the’nnkoeper’sson.
i “You know that I sympathize with you in
your troubles, and I’d like to hear all about
the past ”
“I'll not tell you anything more, hut give
you ten minutes to leave this spot with an
oath on your lips 1 ever to return,” inter
rupted Burden Brono, ns ho returned the
picture to his pocket ana rose suddenly to
his feet.
“Swear never to hunt for this spot, young
man. Do you bear me
“But Iva, my poor cousin."
“You sniveling dog! don’t pretend srm
pathy for her. I shall treat her bett 1 ‘ •
you and those who pretend to he relative
and i■ i- nds. ”
'i he manner, as well us the words, of Bro
no was insulting.
The chock of Jerry Swsyne flushed with
-j i wt ' ri\pressidn OX hifi
perturbed fetltftgt was suffered to mauifent
Itieff.
"I cannot go without my cousin," retorted
Jerry, doggedly, nt the * im "time swinging
his hand to his hip, wh*ro thu butt of bis
revolvt-r protruded.
“You will b>* obliged to. all the same,"
•neared Burden Mro.it>. "ir you aren’t gono
in one minute. I’ll —"
He did not finish the sentence.
With tho quickness of u flesh the hand
of Jerry Bw iyne came up, a revolver gleam
ing at the extremity of tho short, heavy
arm.
Quick ns had been the movement it wah
not (n w hit la
pistol hind Brono had been expecting a
move of this kind, oud be was prepared
| for it.
Both weapons flashed, and twin reports
rang out ou the morning air, echoing up
among the crags like the distant intonation
of thumb r.
Ouo of the twain reeled and feel heavily
It was Jerry Kwayue, with face bathed in
blood. He lay m uioulr-s as Burden Brono

and with it in his arms, strode through a

Jerry?" Iva ttayne demauded, the mo
ment Burdn„ Brono crossed the threshold
of the mouutain cabin and confronted her.
"Don’t alarm yourself, my girl; that vil
lain was no cousin of yours ”
“You have murdered him!" asserted Iva,
not hee iing the words of the stalwart out
law. “I beird tho report of pistols, and
you alone appear."
“True. I shot the fellow in defense of
my own life. Don't shed tea’s or waste
sympathy on that brute, my girl; he was
Uii worthy a single thought. ’
Burden Brono was no common outlaw,
lie had natural refinement, and sonic edu- 1
cation, and the time had been wh* U Le was '
regarded as a respectable citizen.
lie addressed her iu a low, pleasant tone
of voice, and it was easy to see tint he
stood several degrees above Je ry Bwayne
iu everything that goes to mtikA a man.
Iva couid not help realizing this, and she
began suddenly to feel less aversion for the
outlaw. In fact, she believed he was less
to be feared than her coarser-natured
cousin, and was it not well for her that the
evil Jerry had been swept away where he
could never again persecute her with his
altentions?
It was thus that the young girl reasoned,
and, in spite of the fact that he had met
a violent death, she felt relieved, knowing
that the evil man had brought hia fate upon
himself. There was an intimation in the
outlaw’s speech that indicated a knowledge
regarding the past that Iva had longed to
possess, a certain inward feeling telling
]•■ r. eVe i before the advent of Wallis
Wag*' r into her life, that she was not a
relative of the Swaynes.
Iva sank to one of the stools, feeling
suddenly weak from the effeots of long
fusing and excitement.
"Wait,” cried Burden Brono, suddenly,
“I will bring refieshmentß."
lie dr w a key from his pocket and
op ued the door at the back of tbe room,
lie disappeared, but soon returned, bear
ing a tr.iy o.i which were cold meat, bread,
a giass of w ne, and one of water.
This ho placed on a stool in front of Iva,
and sat facing her himself, with the pro
visions between them.
“We will eat, and then we can converse
to better purpose, my dear.”
His manner was gentle and kind, and the
poor tired child felt strabgely relieved.
She partook of the food and drank the
water, leaving the wine for her stalwart
host.
"Drink the wine, Iva. it will do you good. ”
"Thank you, but I do not eare for it,"
she returned.
lie swallowed it at a draught, and as soon
as Iva had satisfied the cravings of huuger,
removed the tray to the next room.

with a light laugh. “Tiger Tom knows
how to keep tho larder well stock and. No,

“Yea. You aren’t a Swayue, but have

walls of a stuffy old tavern in the back

"Oh, sir, do you know this to be true?’
cried Iva, suddenly, lifting a pair of in
tensely pleading eyes to tho stalwart man’s
fac>*.
"Of course I know it to be true, aud 1
am going to bring vou iuto Jro'tr rights un

“Rob Ranger—Thornrift?”
“Names you never heard, I suppose, for ,

door, called Tiger Tom. That personalis
entered the oabin, and stood with his Win
chester lying idly across his arm.
“I must make Silversand at once, Tigei

“All right, sir."
"On no account permit her to go outsidt

"You will obey?”
"I know my duty, pardner.”

"You bet.”
“And should the gents of Silver and take

Iva started and trembled at the intense
emphasis put upon tt,e last woids by the
outlaw. It revealed tho stern, relentless
nature plainly, giving tho lie to his late
gentleness of demeanor.
She und r toou the meaning of those
solemnly uttered words, and shuddered in
wardly.
“1 will obey, Captain. ”
Then Burden Brono dismissed his man
and passed himself into the back loom,
which was nu excavation in the hillside to
the do rii of twenty feet.
Two ty minutes later a rough miner,
wearing a huge beard and greasy, ill-fitti g
clothes stepped into the room.
Iva started up with a low cry.

TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN,
Turning Oul Slicep Too Early
It I* comparatively an easy mutter to
; turn out the .hi rp too curly in the spring,
'uyn tire Chicago S/ier/, Unctler. while
it it, of course, desirable to let them have
gm-> uii eoou us it cau he secured in the
>priug, yet earo should l o taken not to
torn out entirely. We have si ways found
It a good plan to sow a putuh of rye In
the full, on purpose to turn Iu the breed
lug ewes lii the spring when they espe
cially need something green. While we
may be able to keep them In u fairly good
condition on dry food, yet to insure the
host growth, not only of the uiiimnl but
also of the wool, green food should bo
given whenever possible, anti especially
tire breeding ewes. In order to keep
them thrifty nrid healthy, and at the same
time furnish a full supply of milk to keep
the lambs growing, green food is almost
u necessity. Hut it is better not to turn
into the pastures too early. It will an
swer to lot them have the run for two or
three hours each day, when the weather
ia pleasant, but in cold, wet, or stormy
weather it will be much better to feed
under shelter, and this Is especially tho
t ase with sheep that have been reaaonably
well sheltered all winter.
It is ccrtninly poor mauageiucut to
keep sheep all winter, Inking pains to feed
and shelter so ns to obtain a good growth
In tlesh and wool, and then in the spring,
just when they need the feed and care
the worst, to turn them out and let them
look out for themselves.
It is an easy matter to stunt the growth
of the wool of the sheep and the lambs,
anti n stunted grow th is never desirable
in anything. The longer wo farm the
more thoroughly satisfied do we become
that it pays to keep stock growing
steadily all the time, just the same as a
crop, and that any failure to do this is a
failure to secure as much profit ns we
could.
Faem nod Garden Notes.
Garden seed should be selected id due
If onions are planted, see that the
ground is fine, rich and well manured.
Equal weights of oats and com make a
good ration for fattening young sheep.
If a hog is worth having on the farm
then ho is worth feeding until he is Bt his

Slow feathering, while growing, is
considered indicative of hardiness ia

Do not burn your straw stacks, but fix
them up for food and shelter. “Waste
makes want.’*
A good hedge makes tho best kind of
wind-break for a garden or orchard, in a
cold climate.
A feed of cooked turnips, beets or po
tatoes, occasionally, is greatly relished by
dumb animals in winter.

Nobody has seen ground harrowed too

Cabbages, onions and steamed chopped

Do not use fertilizers too lavishly on

belief in the importance of repeated
changes of ground for kitchen garden

A writer says: “Potato growers should

He did this during four days, and cured
the horse permanently.
Beets, turnips, carrots aud other suc

The Atlanta Constitution says red
clover grows readily through Middle
Georgia, and the climate of that region
is a pretty fair average of Southern
climate. Other things being equal,
clover grows l est on rather thick clay

If any one will go over a corn field in
spring, after frost is out of the ground,
he will find many of the corn stubs tilted
over by the frost, nnd also so loosened
that they will uproot easily. This shows
that they are mainly near the surface, and
gives a hint as to the best method of cul
ture during the growing season. With
fiat culture the roots stand firmest.
Where a mound of earth is made around
the corn the frost almost entirely uproots
it.
Gardens are commonly visited very
early by the various kinds of noxious in

in them. One reason for thi< is that
they remain dormant iu their hiding
places under weeds, pieces of board or
clods of manure. It >s a common prac
tice to change the gerden spot occasion
sionally, so that the plant* when they ap
pear will not be immediately disturbed by
their insect enemies. The better plan is
to remove all weeds, litter und rubbish
from gardens. Then late in the fall plow

took five months treatment in all. The first two months J was
almost discouraged: could not perceive any favorable symptoms,

FOR HORSES.
Uvilla, W. Va., )
Nov. 17, 1886. j
Recently I bought a
young horse. He wag
taken very ill with Pneu
monia. I tried to think
of something to relieve
him. Concluded what
was good for man would
be good for the horse.
So I got a bottle of Piso's
Cure and gave him half
of it through the nos
trils. This hglped him,
and I continued giving
same doses night and
morning until I had
used two bottles. The
horse has become per
fectly sound. I can re
commend Piso’s Cure for
the horse as well as for
man.
