What did they kill ???aim for? 1 Then she turned to Woodward: "Oh, Mister, Mirier! please tell mo,whnl he don ??. J'm the one that made tbo liquor, I'm tb a one. Oh, Lordy! what did they kill little ;*??b for?' Teague 1???otcet dismounted fn ,j,j h; 9 horae, tcok the woman firmly but get ,tly by tbe arm, at d made her ait down by tho aide of the road. Then when the wraa more co mposed, -ihe told the story of finding her tton'a body. It was a terrible story to hear lrom the lips of tho mother, but ahe grew quieter after tolling it, and presently wentwn her way. Tho two mon watched her out oleight. ???1 *11 tell you what, Cap,??? said Teague, as he flung himaclf Into the anddlc, ???they er houndin??? airier us. They er ???buain??? tbe wiro- mtn an* killin??? the children; stidder cnrrrin??? <*ut the law, they er gwine about a-shootln* an??? a-mtirderin???. Bo fur, so gootf.

Mid Teague, ???an* airtcr that your beat gait ia a gal lop.??? But Woodward declined. He was dazzed as well as humiliated, and ho had no deairo to face Bis I???otect. He pictured to Himself tho scorn ami bitterness with which she would connect his presence on the mountain with tho murder of Ab Bonner, and he concluded to fide on to Gullcttsvillo. Ho took Tosguo IV feet by tho hand. ???Goud-by, old man,??? he said; ???1 shall re member you. Tell Miss Bis???well, tell Miss Bis good-by.??? With that ho wheeled his horse and rode rapidly toward (Jullettiville. ?? H waa a fortunate rido for him, perhaps. The wrath of llog Mountain was mightily ???tiffed w hen it henrdoftho killing of Ab Bon ner. and Woodward would lmvo fared badly at 1U hands. Tho wroth of others was stirred al so. The unfortunate nflair took tho shape of n political issue, ami thus the hands of justice Were tied. But all this is a matter of history, and need not be dwelt upon. In the meantime, as tho days passed, Teague Petrel brearne dimly and uncomfor tably consioua that a great change had coma over Bis. Oue day she would be ns bright ami as gay as tho birds in the trees; tho next, she would be quiet, taciturn, and apparently da* pressed. As Teague expressed it, ???oue minuit hit???s Bis, nn???the nex??? nit???s some uti else.??? tirsdually the fita of depression grew more and more frequent end lasted longer. Hlio was nb- ???tracted and thoughtful, aud her petulanco dhappiared altogether. Thu contrast result ing Horn this change was ao marked that it would have attracted tho attention of a person ef far lets intelligence than Tceguo Botnet. IIo endrjtvomi to Oum-uj i l???cteet was brad on his arm, and Teague sat holding her thus half the night. When she did awake she upbraided herself so earnestly for imposing on htr old pappy (as she called him,) that Teague yawned, and vtreU-bed himself, aud rubbed liis eyes, and pretended that he too had been ???tltcp. ???Lordy, honey! I wuz that gone tel! I didn't know whoYr 1 ???ut rolled up in a haystack er stretched out in a fcatb?? r-l??od. I reckon ef jou'd 'a* listened right dost you???d ???a* heeru me *no\ I fhes laid hack nn' howled at the rafl??n*, an???oncc-t er twice-t 1 wuz afeard I mout \v*??k?? n up l???uss.*??? Bie's risponbc to this transparent fib was an infectious peal of laughter, and a kiss which amply repaid Teague for any discomfort to which he may have been subjected. Once, alter Eis had nestled up against Teague, she asked somewhat irrelevantly,??? ???Pap,.do you reckon Mr. M&podward won a revenue spy after all??????? ???Well, not io???rda the lanl. lie dropped that business airtcr he once seed ila whictiaways. hat makes you sat???? ???Because I hate and despise revenue spies.??? ???Well, they hain't been a-bothorm??? roun??? lately, an' We hsin???t got no call to hnte???omtull they gits in sight.

Look In his eye. an??? you wouldn???t see no muddy water; an' he had grit. They hain't no two ways about that. When I ast Tin out with us that night, he went like a man that had a stool to a quillin??? bee; an' when Duke Dawson an' Hid Pnrmnlee flung out some er thu???r slurs, ho thus snapt his lingers in tho???r face, an??? ups an??? ssys, says he, ???Gents, ef you er up for a frolic. Pin your man, an??? ef you er in fora fight, thes count me in.??? says he. Tho boys wuz a little rIritihy,??? aaid Teague, apologetically. His squeezed up a little closer against her herself. Bho was Mountain Sphinx. . ???J'm ulcnrd Sis la ailin',???said Tung one cccnsiuii. ???Well/* replied FuaV, ???sbo ain???t complain in'.??? ???That???s hit,??? Teague persisted; ???she hain't complainin'. That???s wont pesters roe. Bho looks lonesome, uu??? she???s got one er them kin der furaway looks In her eyes that gives mo the all-overs.???

Puss tubbed her mull ami swayed to and fro in btr rocking-chair, disdaining to make any rtply to this array of facts and argumenU; and Ttsgue was as ignorant as aver o? the cause of she queer change iu his daughter. Perhaps, as t??ranu-s a dutiful husband, he should have retort,d OUoft his couiplsiiiiug wife with cam- pis tuts of hit own; but his mtereaU aud his isolation bad tnnde him thoughtful ami for- brsriug. lie had the trait of gentleness which Vid they fight, pap????* ???'Lord bless you, no.

The girl shivered and caught her*breath. ???If! bad bit him,** she exclaimed vehe mently, ???I should have gone off aud killed myself." ???Bheol??? said Teague' In a tone intended to be at once contemptuous and reassuring, but it was neither the one nor the other. This conversation gave Teague fresh cause for anxiety. From his point of view, flia???s newly developed humility was absolutely ainrtofng, and it added to his uneasiness. Ito recognized in her tone a certain shy uoss which innud to appeal to him for protection, and ho was profoundly stirrod by it without at all, understanding it. With a tact that might bo traced to cither instinct ur accident, ho re frained from questioning her as to her troubles. He was confused, but watchful. He kept bis own counsel, find had no more con- fermcea with Puts. Perhaps puss was also cmetliing of a mystery; if so, sbo was old nctigh to taka care of her own affairs. Teague had other talks with Bis,???some gen- tat, soiiichnlf-eonfidentinl,???and' he finally bieu me aware of tho fact that every subject lid to Woodward. Ho humored this, awk wardly but earnestly, and though ho had a clew; t ut it was a clow that postered him BETSY HAMILTON.

The ???New South??? dates from about five years ago. The ravages of war and misgovernmciit, the immense loss of life, capital and labor brought about by a prolonged struggle, left it still prostrate and impoverished as late as 1877 or 1878. It was then that the first dawn of a new life was shown. With the government iu the hands of the people, witli the bitter animosities of war and political strife ended, a new spirit was aroused, a new enthusiasm revived, out of which a new condition of ailuirs sprang. It was a bard struggle at first, but tho men and women of the south never faltered. Confidence was restored, wealth created, new ideas propagated.

I have been down to the good old county of Lincoln. I never was there before for it is hid out and lies remote from the blessings and the curses of modern civilization. What a pity it is that railroads which nre such civilizers and such a necessity always bring with them such a tram of troubles. Now hero is Lincoln awey efi' the track and her jail doors were open and fonnontha have not closed upon a prisi ner. Judge Pottle was there holding c?? uit. Ho opened it and closed it in a day ana n bhll for tb*-r??* were but three civil cases upon the docket and not a criminal to try. There wouldn't he many cuudidaies for solicitor if ell thcmiDties were as peaceable us Lincoln. Now here Is Paulding county-thafc used to be on that line and haroiy ever held court more than six days in a year. But now since they have a railroad ana have got civilized their dcckets are crowded and their jail is full. My owu county of Bartow has two railroads and we hold twelve weeks of court and never get through. There are only two lawyers and a half in Lincolntcn and twenty-seven in CartcrsviDe. Maybe it is the lawyers who stir up to much devilment in Bar tow and the peo- t le nre not so much to bloiue for it. I aont now, but I do know that we are a heavily taxed people and still lmve tho worst roads in tbe country. Lincoln county hns better roads and no fences and docs not owe a dollar and her good people come right square up to the . -??j ?? * ??? islced the King???s book on the ???Great South??? showed the peoplo of the north and east this impending 1SUVSTIAL KEVOLl rtO.V: nml capital and immigrants turned their eyes in this direction. Monoy was invested here in rebuilding and reconstructing the old rail- rood systems, broken and bankrupted by tho war. This money doubled, trebled and quad- agitated that night.

It was a horrihlo ouo; but as oftm as he put it aside, so often he returned to if. It haunted him. Turn where h??* might, go where he would, it pursued him night mid day. One mild afternoon in tho early spring, Mr. Philip Woodward, ex-deputy marshal, loaned against the railing of Broad street bridge in tho city ot Atlanta, and looked northward to where Ki-nnefaw Mountain rises like a huge blue ! billow out of the hohi??n and fends pic- tnreiqueiiess to the view. Mr. Woodward was in i xeellmt humor, lie bad just made up his mlod in retard to n mutter that find given liitn no little trouble. A wandering pro*pec- for, tbe agent of a company of Boston c.ipii il- irts, bad told him n-few hours before that ho wiuld be offered twenty thousand dollars for bis land-id on Hog Mountain. This whs very important, bin it was not of the highest im portance. He nodded fumilinrly to Konue- raw, and thought: ???I???ll slip by you to-mor row and make auditor raid on flog Mountain, and compel that high-tempered girl to toll iuo what she mentis by troubling mo so.??? A traiu ifeara ran pulling nml roaring under the bridge; and as Woodward turned to follow it with his eye lie saw standing upon Ibe other side a till!, gndnl, powerful looking man, whom he instantly recognized as Teague l'oled. Teague woro the air ef awkward, neklcfsly helpless independence which so oltcn deceive* those who strike the mountain men for a trade. Hwirtly crossing the bridge, Woodward seised Teague aud greeted him with a cordiality that amounted to euthuei asm. ???Well, of all tha world, old man, vou are the ouo I most tvauted to sea.??? Teoguo???* thoughts ran with grim directness to a reward that had been offered for a certain gray ol. Moonshiner who had made his hennunartera on Hog Mountain. ???How are all nt home?
