The hour was late, but Cripple Jim had hardly slept at all, and now he was fully aroused by hearing his father's voice, somewhat hushed but still heavy, through the thin board partition. "I tell you, boys, it's got to be dono to-morrow night!" said the voice. "There'll be nobody there but Wash and his wife and that young preacher. Wasn't it Wash Magee that sent word to the revenoo3 and had our stills broke up? Didn't Wash and his boys run your son off to Texas, Jack Hardy, onr charge of cuttin' Mike Woodscll, which you know was all an accident? Hain't Wash into every sort of meanness fust one way and then t'other? I've 'lowed to get even with him for a good while, and I 6ay now, the time has come." After this Jim heard a clinking of tin cups, and he knew the men were drink ing. He shivered with fear. They were desperate men. yet Huse Turlcy, their leader, wss his own father. One of the mountain feuds had long divided the Magees and the Turleys. Its influence had extended until friends and relatives had been drawn into it. It had sacrificed life and ruined good names ; it had made men fugitives, and women, and children homeless. At this period Huse Turley and Wash Magee were looked on as the leaders of their factions. A recent affray with the revenue officers and some reckless testi mony at the county court had intensified the ancient hatred, and occasioned the plotting which was partially overheard by Cripple Jim. "That preacher, Lamb, is some kin to the Magees," said Jack Hardy; "and that 'minds me 't I see your Jim and him together down by the gap this very day." "My Jim?" Turley brought his fist heavily down upon the table before them. 41 'Long o' that preacher Lamb, was he? I'll whip him if I ketoh him ruunin1 artcr his father's enemies! But like enough he's a-listenin'now! I'd forgot he was slecpin' in yanaer. Jim had risen to a sitting posture oc the bed. He made an agitated move ment, and his crutch, which had been leaning against the bed, fell to th floor. The talk had stopped. Then Jim heard his father rise, open the door and approach his bedside. A heavy hand was laid upon him, and he was dragged out into the next room. "Were you a-listenin'?" his fathci asked. "I couldn't help hearin', when ye talked so loud," replied Jim. "Had you any idee of tellin' any one what you heard your preacher man, foi instance!" "Why why, no father! I'd skasely thought of that yet " Turley struck the table with impatience as he noticed Jim's hesitancy. "See here, son," he said, "I'm a man of not many words, nor do I che- 'em over more'n once. You've heard, and likely you know something of what we're up to. you cheep a word t( j any one, I'll find it out mind that! And then the punishment you'll git from rn you'll never forgit the longest day you live!" Jim's silence, his very fear of his father, seemed to exasperate Turley the more. "Whv don't you hold up your head?' ' he roared. "You look like a son o mine, don't you?"' j Jim still did not reply. Then, as the 1 father gazed, the sou's infirmity begat to plead for him. Turley saw two Iarf tears upon the lad's cheeks, and some thing stirred him to remember that this poor boy was, after all, his own son. "Come, now." he said, more crentlv, 1 "I only want to warn you what yoa j might expect if you was fool enough tc 1 be tattlin'. Get back to bed, and here's a dram to settle your narves." j Jim, disregarding the cup that was offered him, fixed his eyes appcalingly upon his father. j "Father," he said, "you know I only wish you weli. Who else have I got to keer for since mother was buried? But I want you to give up this plan. You and Wash have been a-jowerin fer months, and what good do it do?" "Git to bed, I say !" exclaimed Turley, his anger rising again. "I must speak, if you strike rnc!" cried Jim, excitedly. "What good do all this swearing and drinking and fight ing do? Father, don't do this thing!" "What thing? Is the boy crazy?" Turley gazed at the others in pretended surprise. "Why why " Jim hesitated. He had heard nothing definite, yet he felt that some revengfu! deed was contem plated. "You know what, father!" "Listen at him! He'll be makin out next that his pop -wants to hurt some one. See here, Jim, don't you bother your head. I want to be good to you, if you'll lot me, but you mustn't meddle. Now git to bed, and when you feel like listenin' agin, wrop up your head in the blanket: hit'Jl be safest for you." The boy gave his father one haunting look and hobbled away. After that the men conversed in low tones for a while. Then the visitors rose to depart. 1 'Mind no v - to-morrow about moon rise" That was all Jim heard. It did not still ids fears that some wicked thing was on foot to injure the Magees. Jim's infirmity had left him almost alone since his mother's death. He had neither brothers nor sisters, and his rather was absent much of the time. Moreover, there was not much in com mon between him and his father. The boy loved him in a dumb, independent way, and the father repaid this love with , pity rather than with affection. Jim spent much of his time wandering in the mountains. With his one steel pointed crutch he was singularly active, and h is solitary life had bred in him an unreasoning love of nature. The next morning after the scene in his cabin, Huse Turley shouldered his long rifle and went away. He had hardly spoken to his son, who, feeling loncV , wandered off, after he had eaten his mid day meal, into the woods. He took an out of the way course, fearing that he should meet Mr. Lamb or seme one of the Magee family. He was tortured by a conflicting sense of desire and duty. He felt that some one should be warned of what his father and the others were about to do, and jet what did he know of it! Was it rurht 10 ? n3ainsc ms lather, or to assume that ne was worse than he knew him to be? He was still debating this when the crack of a rifie rang out near by. Then a gentle-faced, tall young man came ovet the ridge with two squirrel at his belt and a gun on hi3 shoulder. "There," thought Jim, "it'll all come out now! I came this way on purpose not to meet him, and here he is." "Why, Jim," said Parson Lamb, pleasantly, "I didn't expect to meet you h2re!" "Neither did I you," replied Jim. They spent some time together, while Mr. Lamb talked without seeming tr, care to hunt any more; but all the while Jim thought, "Shall I tell him? shaU I tell him?" The young minister found Jim raiher ab?ent -minded, and this, perhaps, in clined him to leave the boy. When h had gone, Jim, more distressed and un decided than ever, wandered still further, dreading to go home. Loitering on thus, farther and farther, he found himself al s,lmi0,YI1 within :1 ,;, nf u- . cabin " "How did I got "way here?" he asked himself. "Looks like I must have felt ouqht to come thii way, feeing as 1 didn't tell the parson. I'm master tired. Seems like I'll have to rest." Instead of making his way homeward, Jira Iay t'n at a f- hcnce- in t5l gathering twilight, he ould see through the open dour of M-igee's cibia. The tr.iil pasc 1 just below htm. I lis I ng mental sri g!e wa growing pp.infu!. yet h- could not decide what tr, do. Meantime the .stars appeareJ, the nizht wind tvucd, and mary wierc sounds rose fiifu'.ly, adding to his de pression and increasing his tense of help lessness. "Father'll wonder what has 'come ol me,1' he thought. "31aybe he'il think I've gone to lei 'e n kno.v!" lie fctill waited wearily, fearing now either to return home or to go forward. The moon rose. Jim could soon findhii wav but whither? After a whi!e the silvery light whitened j the opposite mountain-side, so that the course of the trail was visible. Looking 'back once, he noticed a line of dark ob. jects crawling around a bare shoulder oi white cliff, which he knew the roac leading from his father's cabin must cross. Turley and his friends were evidenth coming, and Jim understood that theii mysterious threats were soon to be put m force. Violence of some kind per haps murder was intended ! Jim hesitated no longer, but set out lor Magee's cabin. He had nearly i mile the start of them, and he had but a mile to go. His excitement was so great that he did not notice rocks and thickets. He scramblen dowu the glen and onward along the trail. Inside the cabin Wash Magee and hu wife, two small grandchildren, and the young preacher. Lamb, were sitting by the fire, when there tame a sharp rap upon the door. Before any one could rise Cripple Jim hobbled into the room, his pale face paler than ever, his bare head wet with dew, and in his eyes a strange, eager light. He turned to the young preacher. "They're comin'! they've got their guns! I wanted to tell you to-day, but I couldn't!" Wash seized his rifle, and hastily sent his wife and the children to the loft. Mr. Lamb led Jim to the fire. Soon there was a sound of rapid foot steps without; then the door was violent ly burst open, and in rushed Huse Turley and three others, fully armed. In such encounters no time is lost, and Wash Magee, having his rifle ready in his hands, would doubtless have fired at once upon Turley ii the young preach er had not stepped between them, leav ing Jim crouching in the corner. "Stranger' said Turley, "this yer is a family matter. If you are for Magee, say the word." "Father!" cried Jira, hobbling to the front and grasping his father's arm. "You here, eh?" said the father. "I'll mind this, boy, when I get you home?" "O father!" cried the boy, "have you forgot the man who nursed you through the small-pox, winter before last, down at the log camps? 'Cause, if you have, I have not. Look at him! You shall not Turiey and his companions had cov ered the two men in the cabin with their rifles, but now Turiey fell back a step, staring at the young preacher. "What?" he xclaiuicd, "it, can't be the same and yet you favor him might ily." "Jira is right," said Lamb. "I should have visited you, but I am Magee's cousin, and seeing the state of feeling between you all, I waited to see what could be done." Turley turned to his companions. "He's right, boys,'' said he. "I know him now. If he wasn't kin to the Ma gees, I'd fight for him-anywhere in the world. I reckon I owe him my life, foi he stood by me when every one elpe run from me. I can't touch Wash, with him standing by. So our job's up for to night, boys." The men grumbled, yet seemed to assent. Wash Magee stood silent, watch ing Turley, with his finger upon the trigger of his rifle. Suddenly Cripple Jim sprang forward on his crutch. "Father," he said, "now you and Wash must shake hands. I know yc both" "Here you are again !" Turley inter rupted, not sorry to find some one on whom to vent the disappointment he realiy felt. "Always a-meddiin' !" He pushed the boy away so savagely that Jim dropped his crutch, and was caught by Lamb, who whispered in hU ?ar, "Stay with me until your father Efet1? over this.' Turley and his friends were now leav ing, and Jim seized his crutch. 'No no," hes:d, "I must go. I can't leave father! He'll be sorry for this, when he gets sober fcr they've bteu drinking! all of 'em." "Cut vou are worn out. You can't walk so far. You look feverish. 'I'll make out to get home, I reckon." The last the person saw of him he was nobbling hurriedly down the trail after tlie others. In the morning, when Turley called his son. Cripple Jim did not answer. The father had made the fire. Jim's usual task wa" to "put on" the break fast. In the night Hme thought he had heard the boy moaning, as if in pain, but half-stupefied himself, he had paid no attention. Jack Hardy was with them, though the other men had gone to their homes. Turley walked over to Jim's bed and shook him, but the lad's arm fell back limp, and his flesh felt cold and clammy. His eyes were half closed, and the pupils unnaturally set and staring. The father uttered an exclamation. Was his feeble, derided, sensitive, yet always loving boy, his only child, wa3 he leaving him forever? He felt a sudden horror, as if he had found himself his son's murderer. Ho ! sank on his knees beside the bed. "Go," he said to Hardy, ,lfetch some one here! Jim's takeu bad. Don't stand there ! Don't you see my poor boy is a dyin'?" The man left the cabin at a run. Turley raised the boy in his arms, and rocked him to and fro. He had never realized the strong ties of nature until now now when to feel them was agony. Minutes that seemed hours passed be fore Hardy returned with two men, Parson Lanib and Wash Magee. "They was the fust I seed," Hardy said, apologetically, to Huse, who looked at them cntreatingly. There was no enmity in his heart then against any liv ing man. "Can you do suthin' for him?" he asked, as Mr. Lamb felt the lad's pulse and carefully examined him. "He has had a congestive chill, I think," said Lamb. "It was probably brought on by over-exertion aud expo sure. They are dangerous, but not al ways fatal." Then he busied himself like one who knew what he was about, while the father watched him as if life hung upon his every movement. Magee surveyed his old enemy with softening features. At last Jim's breathing grew regular, his lips lost their purplish hue, his skin grew warmer and his eyes opened. When he saw, not only his father, but Magee bendiug over him, he smiled feebly and made a motion as if to join their hands. Turley looked puzzled at first; then, seeing Jim's meaning, com pressed his lips an-I held out his hand. "Wash," he said, "I've only just found out what it is to have a son, by seein' what it might be to lose one. Jim wants u? to be frieoas, and what he says now, I say, too. If that aint enough I'Jl ast your pardon eh, Jim? and if that aint enough, I might mike out to git plum down on my knees eh, Jim?" Here Wash struck his large hand icto Turley's. "Don't say any more," he exclaimed. "We haint been neighhorin' for a good bit, Huse, but it won't be my fault if we don't in futur'." After this, Huse turned to his son for his approval. "There, Jim," he said, "me and Wash have shook hands. But if there's any thing more a bearin' on your mind, your poor pop '11 get down on his all fours yet, but what you shall be satisfied." Thus, while Cripple Jim hovered be tween life and death, peace was made. Perhaps he waspircd in order that his presence might soothe the after irrita tions that would occasionally rise. "I don't begruue anybody any thin' now," said Huse, long afterward, "and I'd as soon fight a cirkylar saw as to raise a disturbance with that thar boy a settin by. Therefore, me and Wash stays friendly but it's mostly owia" to Jim." Youth's Comj'finion. A Curiosity in Hug. A curiosity which connoisseurs in rivs, and New York is a rug-loving oil , are greatly interested in, is the old fashioned "mosaic" or hand woven rug say two by three or four feet, or even three by five the front of which is of velvet, the back of wilton. Thedesigni on them are generally hunting scenes or spirited figures of some other kind, and were done by some artist of merit and executed with great pains and labor, patiently, by hmdrork. A very small rug of this kind in the possession of a famous downtown dealer represents the Queen of the Amazons riding into a den of wild beails. The figures are drawn with scrupulous accuracy and the colors are blended in the velvet with a delicacy of detail and a charming effect which are beyond, it is said, the hurric 1 handwork of the present day. The price of such mosaics as thi3 is -10 or $50 each. Ncx York World.

Xeio York TeU gram. DUESsINC. THE NECK. One of the lessons that women learn most slowly involve; the advantageous dressing of the neck. We know what an abomination to the eye is a bared bony and scrawny neck. Yet they are very numerous and very v jnspicuous on every full-dress occasion. What these women require is a yard of beads, a pendant necklace, a ru(T of fur, flowers or fringe, or a collar as near her car-holes a3 it cat he fitted. The lines which ago first draws around the throat can always be concealed by a velvet collarette to which anything can be appliqued beads, roe dalions, miniatures, cull buttons, flowers, brooches and even rings. Then there are passementerie bands in every width, jeweled with medieval, Egyptian and modern effects that are very pretty. The 3Iedici iiat collars, with their broidery of mock gems, are not expensive, and, if undesirable, a scarf of diaphanous gauze may be artfully arranged and pierced with a jewel-handled dagger or quaint ornament. The embroidered Canton' crepes arc beautiful, and intended to be worn a la Queen Louisa, close or loose about the chin, and caught up in the hairpins at the crown of the head. Dt Free I'ras.
