Now this might be thought, by some, to be sufficient punishment for snatching an apple from the hands of a young lady of ten. But the second boy, who had black hair, also had a determined little chin, so he ended the chastisement of his playmate by changing- the mlur of one at his blue-gray eyes, and making him promise to let t'hertt alone. The maiden herself was a shy little thing, not yet very mueh interested in boys, except as tormenters. Consequently she was somewhat surprised when her wrong was avenged by one. Thereafter, she smiled at hlaek-eyed Larry and ignored the vanquished Jed. The next evening Larryis father was shot by Jed's older brother, after a quarrel about the boys. The winds of public feeling- fanned the hauling anger into a raging feud. All the countryside was armed. As the boys grew older, Marion Rutledge wound her two yellmv hruids around her dainty head and pinned her curls out of sight. She lowered hei- skirts and wore shoes and stockings. At eighteen she became Mrs. Lawrence Hhillips, and the Rutledges were made certain members of the Phillips army. Then, merely for spite, Jed married Peggy Henry, nne 0t Marion's rivals in beauty. Down through the generations swept the consuming fiames of revenge, Wiping out sons, husbands, fathers, until but one son was left in each family. These were Tom Scott, a notorious trouble maker, and Ted Phillips. a revenue agent of the United States government. A Year after he had received his appointment, Phillips, who had vainly tried to make a friend of his enemy, captured a still, run by him.

LUWWWLUWLUWUWWUJWWUWWWWU Reaching the . it to the older boy. Rather astonished, the child backed away, for he knew that he was not allowed to go near this man unless in the presence of an older person. He had heard his father address this man on the street, but all that the child could obtain in regard to the manis identity was that he did not like ttFatherW and that he lived on the hill at whose foot stood the small village. However, he had seen men bring wagons filled with such bottles to his father, and had seen him empty them into the stream which flowed past his home. So he held out his hand, and started to take the bottle to his father. Hold on thar! cried Scott, Hwhere ye goinITI HIlm takinI it to Father,-H explained the child. ttYer pap give it to me. He wants you should taste it. IVs not. what, ye think it is. Yer ma made it and wanted to know, does you like it? Hesitating' a little, the boy drank, frowned, smiled, and drank more. Let me taste it, Joe; I want some, too,,, begged the little one. Holding it steady, Joe let his brother drink. Then he drank some more himself. ttUm, tha'tIs good. I never had that before. HI guess I better take it back now. Yer seems to like it. . the man took the bottle, a rather frightened look on his face, for he hap- pened to remember something. Without another word he vaulted the back fence and disappeared, just as the mother called the children. ttGod! he whispered, HI brought the wrong one. Ilm sure glad I didnt drink none. ttMother, why did that man t reached the house; ' ' UI dontt know What his name is. It 's that maneoh, mother, everything's turning fround! And now its all black!
