Then they put their craaiums together and soon agreed upoti a mode of procedure. ’ - In tbe town lived a crotchety old wid ow whose sole aim in life was to be .cap tured by a husband. She was not at'ili re ticent In making known this consuming desire of her heart, and every man, wo man and child in the community looked upon.her at a maniac. Her thoughts by day and her dreams by night atways had a man in them. Every night before re tiring she would look under her bed to see if there was a man there, and a look of disappointment would come over her face when none was found. Tn her one of the plotters went and told her that a young friend of his would be there Tues day morning, and that he desired to make her his wife. “I met him in Evansville the other day,” said he, “and he told mo that he was on the lookout for a middle aged wife, and when I told him about you, described you looks, disposition, etc., he said you was jnst the woman he wanted and that.h* would come down Tuesday and make all arrangements for the wed ding. He is a business man, and will talk plain business talk to you right from the start. It’s tlie chance of a life time, Mrs. Magoon, and yon can easily capture him.” The old woman smiled until the glad sunlight illuminated her larynx and gleamed against her back teeth In a gol den haze. Her old heart made a few in effectual efforts to flutter as it did in her girlhood days, and she told her wicked deceiver that tlie bridegroom would find her lamp trimmed and burning when he arrived.

A Visit to tu® Red Uau’a Qtata. Thirty years ago tbe region around Tallulah Falls was still inhabited by Indians, and although they lived a partly civilized life, tending. little patches of their own and hiring by tlie day to the pale face, pioneers of that section, the savage instinct was still dominant in their breasts; and it was quite common for them to com mit depredations against the settfore, whom they held in the greatest ha tred. But their raids were generally confined to remote sections, as North Georgia was then ^ getting most too thickly settled tor a field of action. * This romantic coitntry id rich In' thrilling adventures', and to-day you find many old people who lived here with the Indians and can point otit the scenes of enough bloody deeds to stock'a blUe^-back library. And theft! Is no doubt, Either, about the truth of these adventures, for as we before said the parties who witnessed them are now alive, and with a view of pre serving the rude history |of their aeo- tion have marked these spots so that In after years they can be pointed out to the curious. At the time of which we write a farmer named Vandiver, (who, by tbe way, only died a year or so ago), had a huge clearing near the Calls and was the most prosperous planter in that section. Labor being scarce, he em ployed a number of Indians to do his work, and they proved very successful hands. About the time our story opens a stalwart young buck, bring ing with him a beautiful white wo* man, appeared and asked for work. The woman seemed to live In constant fear of her companion, and positively refosed to divulge her story, simply saying that the man was her husband, and she did not wish to leave him. It was in those days not an uncommon tiling to see a white man married to a squaw and even Indians with white wives. There was not much law, and it was the general rule for every man to attend to his own business and let his neighbor's alone. So Mr. Vandi ver, being at that time in pressing need ot hands, hired the mau and wo man without question; but the former proved a thriftless vagabond, who spent more time in the woods than bn the farm. He seemed to live in con stant dread of an attack, and always weut armed. At the slightest noise hp,would look frightened around, his hand grasping the gun upon his shoul ders. The ill-mated couple continued to hang around the farm for a week or so, the man shamefully abusing the woman, who accepted it with the greatest meekness. The Indian was evidently a brute, and the woman his helpless slave. But one day a strange white man, armed to the teeth as it were, rode up .to Vandiver’s and inquired if he bad seen an Indian and a white woman pass that way, describing the strange couple. He was informed that they had not more titan an hour ago walk ed out together, going in the direction of Tallulah Falls. Without deigning a single word of reply the stranger started in tbe direction designated, going at a swinging trot.

Bushing to the spot they found the Indian stretched dead upon the ground, the well-direct ed ball having passed clear through his body and penetrated the breast of the woman behind him. The stranger was unconcernedly leaning upon his gun, and the wounded woman upon her knees at his feet, a ghastly smile of fiendish delight o'erepreadlng his fewSe.' 1 ' 1 '' ■ ' I After some time the following thrill- ing story was elected from the man: Hecqpipfrom thp.vteSlefnHpartn state, and tlie woman before ^he[r frontier home, and were blepec witii two lovely l|ttie children, one babe at the, .pq^hpr’s breast and the other scarcely large enough to walk.
