An OH Quarrel Renewed That Led to a
Certain Death.
Down here In tho foothills of tho moun
tain singe Is a lmmlot. Thnt means a
store, i blaoksmlth shop, n church, a shoo-
m&kcr and tbroo or four bouses—perhaps
80 reddcnU In alL It wts founded 60
years «go. For half a century pooplo hnvo
been tiding In from n dletanco of eight or
tell nvlee to innke their purehnsos or cull
for util or visit the blacksmith. On rainy
days t crowd of farmers sit about tho
storo lo gossip, and again when tho woath-
er Is pleasant the men work nt home, and
tho women rldo In and make a fow pnr-
chnsos and visit for awbllo at the snuo
plnoo. Yestordny was a rainy day. Old
men, men of middle ago, boys of 16 and
18 came to town. Thoro were mules to be
reshod, boots to be mended, ton and to-
boooo to bo purchased. Nowand thon one
confidently Inquired for mall nt tho post-
ofilco and woe hnndod out a letter or the
weokly eoonty paper. Thoro were peace
and good naturo for half a day. Every
body (book hands and made friendly In-
qulrlot ond felt at ponoo.
At soon there was less Jollity, less Jok
ing. The bottle of moonshlno whisky had
boon handed about until two or tbreo men
woro drunk, two or threo moro silly and
reckless, tho remainder rhurllsh and 111
tompecod. Men win, had shaken k
liko brothers at S o’clock In tho forenoon
woro looking askanoo at oacb othor at
UWB&;. Not only that, but thov were
silent and thinking—thinking ovor tho
IncldonU and evenuof the past half dozen
years and groping for gomotblng to raise
a quarrel about. By and by ono of tho
long haired, angular mountaineers—ono
of a pair who had snt close beside caoh
othor for an hour without speaking—finds
tho exouso sought for and turns and
makes a bitter remark. It Is bitterly re
sented. Koxt Instant both am on their
foot and havo knives In their hands. Oo-
foro they can uso tliom, howover, other
mon spring forward and separate thorn,
and ono is led away. An old wound hns
boon opened, honor Impugned. Some said
It were better to let them fight It ont thon
and there; others said a reconciliation
might bo effected. Whilo they wore argu
ing ono of the principals walked out to
whore his molo stood dejootodly In tho
rein and mounted and rodo awny. Tho
crowd looked after him, but no mnn called
him a coward. What thoy whlsporod to
each Other was:
"Tom's gwlno homo to git his gun and
ambush Dan! Dan botternotgo home to
day!"
They not only whispered It to each oth
er, hut to Dan, who still hold bis wloked
looking knlfo In hand and used It to out a
sliver frum tho barrel on which he oat as
ho replies):
Yes: Tom will ambush moon tho road.
Wo'd hov hotter fit it out right yere,
From thnt moment he was n doomed
man.' Ho folly realized it, and ho did not
bluff or blustor or seek to oonccnl his truo
focllngs. Ills way was a ionoiy ono.
ono else rodo that way Toromoinin town
overnight would subject him to genoral
contempt. To request any ono to rldo
homo with him would mnkohlm n coward
In tho oyee of all. When tho rest wont, ho
must go. Tom would bo waiting for him
in some road-tldo thicket or behind some
great rook, but ho must go forward Just
the same. Ho heard them talking about
a reconciliation, and tholr words brought
a smile of contempt. True, a quarrel had
somctlmoa been patched np, but If both
principals lived on It wot sure to break
oat again. After tho lie bad boon passed
and knlvca drawn It was foollsb to talk of
peace. Ho must not oven sanction such
talk, or tho boys would whisper to each
other that ho was afraid
Two o'clock, 8 o'clock, 4. It waa tho
aame leadon sky, tho same monotonous
patter of raindrops. After a o’clock tho
men hod avoided Dan. Thoy know what
bo know—that ho was a doomed man.
When tho mark of death Is placed on a
living man, ho must Uvo oat his hours
alone. All living mon pass him by.
4 o’clock half n dozen men mounted and
rodo away. As thoy did to thoy looked
uver their shoulders to sco It Dan was
coming. IIo saw thorn do it and waltod
ten minutes. Then he mounted and rodo
after them.
Two miles away tho trail ho roust take
branched off the main road. At that spot
he halted for a moment. He had paid the
storekeeper n email balanco ho owed him
Ho bad gono to tho blacksmith and squared
accounts. Ha bad scrawlisla brief missive
to his wife, telling bor whit to do after
his death. Was there anything further!
Was bo quite ready7 He had not offered
his hand nor said goodby to any of tho
men, bat that was not expected of him.
Yes; ho was ready, and im pleked np the
lines and urged his mnlo forward. It was
three miles from tho main road to bis
home. The way offered a hundred spots
for ambush. In somo ono of tho covert,
the nisoaaln would bo lying with cooked
rill, to send a bullot through his heart.
It mattered not which ods. Death would
eom. jaal tho same. Ho might dismount
and leave the trail, bat that would bo
oowardld He might tarn back and reach
borne by a long circuit, but that would be
oowaidlce again. Nol Ho would go to
his death llko a man—ns his father and
grandfather had dona before him, as hts
wife and children up there In tho humble
bln would wish for him to do. Life waa
sweet, but—
A tonguo of flame, a cloud of bine
■moke, the crack of a rifle at tho corner of
the great block rook, and the frightened
male galloped away leaving a corpse be
hind on the path—a man abot through the
heart. No ono came ont to look at the
body. Somo one moved away through tho
sodden forest, but there waa no ono to run
after him, no one to catch fleeting glimpses.
It we, murder from ambusb, tbeyeald,
and they said nothing more; no arrest,
no trial, no retribution; Just a oorpee In
tho path and a widow and three fatherless
children In tho oahln two miles away.
