Just- aboyo this little mountain vil lage there is a place known as Lost Creek ' waterfall. Tbe name is not a specially romantic one, but it has at least'the merit yrf describing the' place which it designates. Lost creek is'" a typical mountain stream that comes roaring, brawling down tbe mountain until it reaches a certain high cliff, over which it plungea in a graceful, quiver ing c.olumn. It throws up a shower of silvery spray from the recks below, but instead of flowing on down the surface of the mountain it plnupres into a dark, small mouthed, subterranean cavern and is. in all verity "lost" to human sight, as the name implies. Occasional ly a wayfarer will throw a rock inside and listeu to the hollow thud, thud, as it seems to bound from ledge to ledge into the awful darkness of the earth's interior. Almost half a mile farther down the mountain the stream emerges from its underground course as abrupt ly as it disappeared. There are vague rumors that soldiers', hard pressed by their foes, traversed this awful passage way during o the dark days of the war, but these are only rumoiy, and no one now cares by actual test to prove or dis prove their possibility. Only one person is really known to have passed through this journey, and that one brought no news as to its mys teries. The lips were sealed forever, and the'eyes, unwavering, stared up at the sun above them. The memory pf the awful exit gives the subterranean pas sageway a horror deeper than its own, but tho self engrossing heroism of the entrance gives the waterfall a grandeur greater than that of its recks, purer than the snowy whiteness of its foam and more soul refreshing than the cool ness of its epray. Tom Houston was oneof the pleasant est, most industrious young farmers on that slope of Cumberland mountain, and Mag Lassiter was one of the wild est, most worthless .of the mountain' belles. Tho neighbors all said a great deal of good about Tom and very little of bad, beyond tho fact that he was rather easily influenced. The best that could bo said abont Mag was that she was pretty and full of life, and that she generally stuck to' her friends through thick and thin as long as she cared to, As to tho evil eaid about her, there was almost no end of it The whisper ings that connected her name with cer tain moonshining operations could hard ly be included under this head, for pubv lio; opinion on the mountains in those days was far from unanimous in declar ing such things evil. Far more serious were the rumors that she had used the power of her beauty to lure numerous young men on to destruction. Many rather serious misdeeds were supposed to have their origin with her influence, but nothing definite was ever known about them. When she first began to make friends vt ith. Tom Houston, every body said that no gcod could come of it. Several of tbe older men and Women took it op themselves to warn Tom, but he refused to be warned. As nsual, the voice of youth and, life and beauty had more influence than the voice of old age and experience and ugliness, The crash came sooner than any one expected. One night at a dance Tom called out the two Dickens boys, and, seemingly in .cold blood,, shot them dead. Tho Dickens boys were members of one of tho most prominent families oa the mountain, and the excitement which followed the killing was intense. Eyerybody remembered that Mag had formerly had a fierce quarrel with the elder of the brothers, and that he was said to be the only young man on the mountain who bad successfully resisted her wiles Everybody suspected that the murder was instigated by Mag, but nobody knew it Only Tom Eouston eonld know it, and it was! recognized by all that Tom would never tell. Besides. A, after the'killing, Tom had fled and was now somewhere in hiding. There was reason to believe that he had nof gone far cway. hut it was hard to find him. Tlo mountain was thor oughly aroused. he pionunu'tce of the murdered men antl'the cold blooded ness of the deed made every one feel an in terest in bringing the slayer to justice. Pickets were scattered in a line that surrounded the whole slope of the moun tain where Tom was supposed to be hid ing, but still tbe task was no easy one. The mountain fide at that place was so full of deep ravines and holes in the rocks that a dozen men might easily elude anything but the most careful search. Still it was only a question of time. One evening several days after the killing Mag walked into the sheriff's office at Jasper. Without even glancing at the group of loungers hanging about as UBual she-looked defiantly at the sher iff and addressed him in harsh, strident tones, very unlike those in which she generally spoke. "I've come to tell you uns that your men has got Tom Houston penned safe an sound," she said. "Thar ain't nc possible way out for him. I guess you already knowed that, though. " "I sorter guessed it, " replied the sher iff, as he chuckled and looked around in some uncertainty. "Ef you think you'll have an easy job to take him, you're mistaken, though, " continued Mag. ' 'That mount ing is ezfull of little ole gullies an holes as an old kitchen is of rat holes, an J don't reckon any man in ; Tennessee knows 'em any better than Tom does. It may be a month before you ketch him. Besides, Tom's got shootin irons, an he knows how to use 'em too. There'll be the devil to pay before you take him unless you get help. ' ' "Help?" repeated the sheriff rather vaguely. "Ain't I got half the men on the mounting to help me now? What kind of help do you mean?" 'Gimme $50, an I'll take you right where he is tomorrow mornin, an I'll gyarantee he don't fire nary shot nei ther." The sheriff Uttered a low, long drawn whistle of surprise, and the loungers about the officeexchanged remarks in an uidertonejThey hadalways known "thai gaLwas no good, bnt darned if they'd ever have believed she was low down enough to getx fellow into trou: ble an then seHris life to the officers, for $50darned if they would. " "There's some conditions about it," continued Mag haughtily and without heeding these comments. "Them $50 must be in my hand in bills in the mornin before I budge ary step of the way. ..After I take you where he is yoo must give me two minutes by the watch to tali to him before you do anything. Then, if he tries to run, you must give him at least 50 yards start before you begin shootin. I ain't a-goin to see him shot down like a dog without no chance at alL After it's all over I'm goin to leave this here God forsaken country myself, an, you've got to promise me that nobody'lL try to foller or to see which way I've gone. " "I don't blame her for that last part," whispered a bystander, winking signifi cantljj Tbe sheriff thought the matter over. He went out and talked to several of the friends of the murdered men about it All agreed that Mag's plan, though an unspeakably base one on her part, might result in saving several weeks of time and possibly several human lives. Perhaps it was the cheapest way out of the difficulty. Old man Dickens readily agreed to furnish the money. The re sult of the consultation was that Mag was informed that her terms were ac cepted. The next morning, before sunrise, when Mag met the sheriff's posse at the meeting point agreed upon the evening before, it was noticed that she had a big, black bruise under her right eye. "Have' you been in a scrap, Mag?" asked one of the posse, with a clumsy attempt at jocularity. "I seen Tom last night," replied the girl, with a forced laugh, "an he whack ed me in the eye with his fist an cussed me for gettin him into trouble, as he said I didn't mind the lick but the Oussin. ' ' 4 Here the girl's voice quavered, and those nearest to her thought they saw the glimmer of a tear in her eye. "I soon ; made it all right with him though," she continued, regaining her self possession. "But I didn't tell him what a nice lot of visitors I was goin to bring him this morning. He, hel" Ther.e were some black looks ex changed and some remarks made in an undertone as to the baseness of the girl's treachery, but she deigned no reply un til she came within hearing of the Lost Creek waterfall, to which reference has been made before. ."Call in all your pickets, " she ex claimed imperiously. "Tom's mighty nigh here somewheres, an you uns is such pore shots that you'd better have a lot of 'men. ready to shoot. " The pickets had spent the night 'be fore on the mountain as they had also spent several nights preceding. Word was now sent out, and all of them were summoned down to the spot in question. "Now stay where you are an remem ber about them two minutes you prom ised to give us for our last interview, you know. He, hel" With these words Mag cautiously ad vanced until within about 50 yards of the falL Then she stepped out of sight between several large bowlders.- The posse grasped their rifles and waited in silence. The sheriff held in hand a watch with which to tell the passage of the two minutes. "Do you reckon he's been hidin all 'this time in that hole?" asked one man in a low whisper. "What do you reckon she's a-sayin to him?" asked another. Then all was quiet save for the "tick, tick" of fhe sheriff's watch. When the time lacked but a few seconds of being out, a woman's figure hurriedly glided from behind the rocks and hastened up the mountain side. The left hand press ed a handkerchief to the eyes, but the right hand pointed backward toward the rocks. Scarcely a moment later a man's figure emerged ; and made a wild dash for Lost Creek waterfall. There was no mistaking the apparel. It wus the same suit of well worn "butternut" jeans and tbe same old brown peaked slouch bat that Tom Houston had worn when be disappeared Perhaps it was the rec ollection of their promise, or perhaps it was only the suddenness of the appari tion; at any rate not a shot was fired until the figure made a final leap before disappearing into the deep, dark hole into which tbe water fell. Just as it was poised in midair half a dozen rifles rang out loud and clear. High above the multitudinous mountain echoes which they woke a wild, shrill scream arose. Every man in the posse rushed pellmell to the black hole, bnt when they peered into its depths nothing was to be seen and nothing was to be heard save the roar of the fall and the swish of the foam. 'Those rocks on that side would give a fellow plenty of foothold," remarked one man to tbe sheriff. "Air yo' a-goin . in?" "Naw!" answered that official I ain't hankering to run afoul of Tom Houston's shootin irons in the dark. " However, he put his face in at the dark opening and shouted, "Surrender 1" though his voice was well nigh drown ed by that of the water. Then very cau tiously he pushed a big revolver intc the darkness and pulled the trigger. A long,, reverberating, cavernous bellow waffthe ouly response. i "Jeeminy!" he ejaculated. "It sounds like a million oi devils might live down there." '. ' ; Then a sudden thought seemed to strike him. t "See here," lie shouted. "About half of yon fellows run down the mounting quick, an stand guard at the place where Lost crick comes out again. " i His meaning was comprehended in an instant, and about half the posse dashed away to execute his orders. i "So that was Mag's little game, was itr ' continued the sheriff. " She thought I'd call in my picket lines an then Tom could slip out the lower end of this hole guess nobody knows it better than him, an she'd have her $50 besides. Shelwas sharpHo get her money before hand. I wonder where she is now. ". She was nowhere to be seen. It seem ed that during the tumult she had slip ped away unobserved. The sheriff made no attempt to follow her; perhaps he remembered his promise not to do so. '.'It don't make no difference," he re marked. "We;vegot Tom in a hole this time sure, with both ends of the hole guarded. It's only a question of a little time now. If we don't drive him out, we can easily starve him out I think some fellow winged him when he jump ed anyhow." That night three men with rifles in their hands stood guard at the lower opening of the underground passageway of Lost creek, and three stood at the up per one. The next day they were re lieved by others, and so it continued for a full week. Tom Houston did not ap pear. One afternoon at the end of this period .Tom's big peaked slouch hat floated out into the sunlight at the low er entrance. The watchers examined it with all the eagerness of intense excite ment. . "Somethin else is goin to float out pretty soon now," exclaimed one in an awestruck whisper. Sure enough, not half an hour later "something else" did float out . "Look out! It's comin," exclaimed the first ono who saw it. As it reached the first faint rays of daylight the watchers peering in could recognize the well worn suit of "but ternut" jeans which Tom Houston had been used to wear. When it reached the full light of day, they saw thai a wealth of soft brown hair had fallen back from the marble brow of a woman. They had to take a second glance to realize that it was Mag. The old, radiant beauty was unconquered even by death, but the old look of haughty defiance was gone, and in its place was a look of tendei restfulness that was new to them. The only sign of a struggle was tbe black welt on the face where Tom had struck her when she went to him to unfold her plan for saving his life. As the watch ers gazed at the placid features the va rious details of her self sacrifice came to them one at a time. "I bet she had him hid in this place all along," whispered one. "The only trouble was that the lines was drawe'd so tight around that she couldn't get him out. " ' 'She changed clo'es with him mighty quick that evenin," said another. . "Tom slipped off with her clothes on, but I ;bet she had some others hid out somewheres for him to put on. I wouldn't doubt but sue gave him them $50 to go on. Lord knows where he is by this time in Halifax mebby. " ' "She thought she could make her way down here an slip out before we'd think to head her off. She might a-done it, too,:if some fellow hadn't winged her when she jumped," said one of the guards, lifting her right arm. It seem ed to have been shattered by a rifle ball. "She was a powerful sinful woman," said another. ' 'Yes, but she loved Tom Houston an awful sight," said the third. . And in the lapse and flash of the wa ter against the rocks it seemed" as if one could aliuost hear tho voice of him who said: "Her sins, which are many, are for given, for she loved much."
