II HUNTING
A STILL
Br KATHLEEN ). M'CURDY
It was to the days of Illicit distilling
In Kentucky. A man riding along a
| road Id the eastern part of that state,
reaching a anug farmhouse. drew rolo
"I'm looking for a farm to Ihij," be
?aid. "Do you happen to know of any
good bit of land about here with sortie
buildings on It?"
"No; I don't," tald the woman, who
waa both young and comely.
"Tbere ought to l>e good farming
about here."
"Stranger," said the woman, "yon
hain't looking for farms. You're a rev
enue man after at Ilia."
The man was astonished He hart
supposed he waa playing a very suc
cessful game.
"If you'd root out the stills the peo
pie about here would gt> to farming
j Instead of making whisky "
! "I can't root out the stills," replied
the man, "unless you people help me."
i "What kind o* help do you want?"
I "Information." |
"Well, come In and have a snarn.
Perhaps my hushand'll he coming
along noon, and he may do something
for you."
The revenue man dismounted, led his
home to the stable In the rear and en
tered the house. He chatted with the
woman freely about the Illicit distill
ing. said that It helped the few and
wronged the many. A district where
It was notorious never prospered. It
was under a ban; no credit; no pro
duction of crops; no comfort for any
one She api<eared to agree with him
and when he hail finished said;
"Did yon ever hear of Joe Oom
stock's still?"
"No. I'm a new man; Just put on to
this district."
"That's the only one we could get
you on to here. If my husband don't
come home purty so<ui I'll tell you all
?bout It"
ller husVand didn't come home. She
Mid she supposed he had been de
layed. So after supi>er she said she
would tell him where the Cttmstock
?till was. and If he liked he could go
and clean It out. It was the only one
left In that immediate vicinity and
most of the people thereabout would
be glad to see It shut up The worn 1
an after she had cleaned away the
supper dishes sat down beside the
stranger and on a piece of paper drew
a diagram of the route to Comstock'ii
It was rather a (Igzag course, extend
ing over several miles The stranger
asked If there was no more dlrecl
route, and she told him that there was
none that could be made plain to one
who was not familiar with the coun
try. When It was dark he got out
his horse, mounted and. thanking the
woman for her hospitality, was about
to ride away when she asked;
"You going to take Joe Oomstock
[gh?>r _
That'a Just what rra going no
"You're a plucky one."
The man rode away, follow Ins the
route exactly as It hail l>een laid down
hy the woman He was most of the
time climbing a mountain aide, and
though the distance was but a few
miles, he was two hour* getting to a
j point Just beyond which he had been
told he would And the Comstock atlll.
He was to recognize It by the crossing
' of two mountain roads, a peculiarly
shaped oak tree on the point of one of
the angles. From the crossroads he
was to pass through on opening be- |
tween the trees, so over a alone wall,
| follow a tunnel a short distance down
the mountain and he would come upon
tha still. leaving the crossroads, he ;
1 moved on aa directed
j He was moving very quietly down
the stream when he dislodged a stone
' that betrnyed his approach. He paused,
but. bearing nothing, moved forward
again. Suddenly he heard the words
! come on t of the darkness. "Hands np!"
Re knew that he was on an elevation
that showed the sky llnf beyond him
and that doubtless his enemy could see
! hlra. while he could not see his enemy.
He held his revolver In his hand cock
ed and. hoping to at least disconcert
his opponent, tired Into the darkness.
The only response was a bitter laugh.
! It sounded like that of a woman crat
ed. Then came a voice which sounded
distinctly feminine:
"Drop your weai?on. I can kill yon
I If I like!"
The revenue man hesitated a mo
ment. then thought It best to do as ne
had been bidden Suddenly a bullseye
' lantern was flashed In his face.
"You're not the coward the other one
was to come here and surround the
place and kill my Joe You're a bravo
one If you are a revenue. I'm Miss Joe
I Comstock. the woman who sent you
here. I knew you wen- a revenue
right off. and since I've been wishing
for a ehance to get even with you gov
eminent men I gave you a roundabout
?way. coming myself straight np the
mountains. I intended to kill you, bnt
I couldnt Too're too plucky."
I "Well, then, since there Is to be no
: killing, suppose we shake hands and
aay no more about It"
"Ton go your way and I go mine
Good night."
The next afternoon the stianger
again rode up to the Widow Comstock's
house and after a long interview per
tuaded her to give up a atill that ate
had been running, ever since her has
band had been killed There was some
I thing persuasive In his makeup, some
thing that took hold of the widow's
i better side, and Instead of hunting 1
stills be bunted for her heart. He cap
tared it in time, and they nre now
well to do farmers.
