A
Thursday of hial week, in one of’tlio up—
pr distrets of Sevirr comity. A pen
willow woman .of the mime of Stratton
had li u'ii to Knoxville to receive pen

her return she snnirtu and obtained lodj

Being much worn with lire long j mr

at an early hour ocunpying; a bed with
Biirkhaid’s wife. Tbe man himself
| went out immediately after supper, and
j did not return until the hour at which
I the women were going- to bed. 110 sat
j beside the tiro a short time, and then
j tinkered about the room a few minutes,
and finally departed tire second time
Some time in the night Mrs Stratton
| awoke front an unpleasant dream. Sin
j was greatly disturbed in mi id and (v
dently eppreheusivo of danger. Shi
tried to calm her agita'e! thoughts and
sleep again, Imi found it impossible. The
ppressrve sense of peril t oca too inten
sified. The room was s lent and utterly
dark; yet the woman fancied she heard
sounds without, that boded no good. Tin
money in her possession, was uo comfort
er then
Finally, unable to endure ties state
of suspense longer, she awakened Mrs.
j Burklintd, and begged to be permitted
j to occupy tin- back side of the b, <1 saying
| that she was nli'a'd to lie in front. Mis
| B. evidently con i I ring ibis a freak ol
timidity at once changed |faces with
■ the woman and in a short time was u
! sleett again.
Not so tlie other, however. Weary as
she was, she con'd nst. sleep nor drive
fear from her mind. An hour passed in
; usual silence Finally a movement was
I heard without The mulTlcd tread ot
feet sounded hos ire the house. The door
! was pushed open and two liutnan flgures
i stealthily entered the apartment. Nois

two women were lying. Mute and
breathless with terror Mrs. S. saw one
of the rn(Huns lay his hand on the fae

with the other hand he drew a long
knife across her throat. She distinct 1 ) 1

I lie ludians will not be e.mvinced that
