Crime wai frequent, and the life of a United State officer waa a aerie of stirring adventure in vol ring great danger, and demanding aa great tact and personal bravery. lint Nnttin jr proved hinuelf worthy and fit for the office. A young man of trinitrate habita, quic k wiu, splendid and dashing courage, he waa never at a long how to act; and the vermin that infested that region soon learned to hate and to fear him intensely. Many were the expeditions which the officer had led, many his escapes, and many the prisoners safely captured and walled by his efforts; but one man evaded him. The shrewdest and worst "moonshiner of all was still at Im tte. Despite all his efforts, Nutting has not yet secured Ruloff Allen. This man was known thronghont (he state. His career had been that of a criminal from his birth. In the fastness of southwestern Virginia he manufactured whibky on a grand scale, and was the owner of a dozen or more "queer stills," and snapped his fingers at the law. Several times had Nutting sought this quarry; twice he had actually caught him, yet twice he had escaped, and at the time of which we speak he was still free. Nutting sat at his office window one evening musing, half dreaming, when there fell a lilit touch on his shoulder. He started up quickly. A stranger stood before him. "The United States marshal?" aaid he, interrogatively. wr, 6ind Lawrence, rising. "Be "ie8, u-I .1 . I ,.i tv uni umu i mi iur dctiici!. vuiir'..I "1 would speak with you alone." he said, glancing aroutnh "1 have matters of imiwrtance to communicate." "This office is out of hearing from the street," replied Nutting, "and we are by ourselves. Vou can speak freely." The other drew a couple of cigars from his pocket, offered one to the marshal and lit the other himself. Nutting followed his example. Then the man drew his chair nearer, so that he sat between the officer and the desk whereon lay his belt and pistols, threw open his coat so that the butts of two heavy revolvers might be seen, and blowing the smoke from his cigar said in a quiet tone to his companion: "You are desirous of arresting a noted moonshiner, one Ituloff Allen, are you not?" "There's no doubt about that," said the marshal, smiling. "1 am the man." Nutting's cigar never stirred in his lips; his hand did not quiver nor his breath come the quicker. A single sign 6howed how deeply he was moved; his eyelids dilated, then he laughed, soft and low. "You you Ruloff Allen! My friend, I know Allen. Hia hair is red; yours is black. His face bears a scar across the cuin; yours a Deara. His teeth are broken; yours are perfect. The joke is good, but yon are not Allen." The other hesitated a moment, then striking a wig from .his head, a beard from his chin, and removing a single false tooth, he turned again to Nutting, red haired and smiling. phv-ifju- h. V now?" "You are Allen." For a full moment neither man moved. It was as though two large tigers gazed at each other. Then the outlaw said: "Listen! I am armed; you are not I am fully as desperate a man as the report makes me. 1 am as strong as yon. Do not try to arrest me, for 1 shall then be obliged to kill you. 1 came here to have a private talk, but it was necessary yoa should know who I am. 1 will not molest yon if yon will do the same by me, and give me fifteen minutes to escape when we have finished." Nutting measured his chances. Unarmed in the presence of a man to whom murder was not new, he deemed prudence the better part, and replied: "I agree." "Good," said Allen, removing his own pistol belt; "your word is equal to mine. We shall both be unarmed. And now 1 would tell you a story." Then he drew his chair still nearer the marshal, and as the twilight fell and as the night came down he told of his life a weird, strange history, every line intense with the throbbing passion of a lawlessness which made the man what he was. The other listened breathlessly, the darkness shrouded both, and the cigars were finished long before the story was ended. At length, however, the visi'nr paused, and then concluded as follows: So haw 1 lived as r mi ian al rroot; and tuat ''.ie na. : e uast five vears cp more mauia than ever before, but w u v .othrd. 1 aip and have been jd money only.

The officer now opened a drawer in his desk and took fraui it an old fashioned dueling pistol, which he had picked up somewhere, and fitted the bullet into its rusty muzzle. "It's just the thing, nncle. Bring me my flask, and 1 11 load it with the suicide bullet. It's best to have it handy by if I get the blues." He laughed again. The sen-an- t obeyed. "No use to fix 'im massa. Twon't only kill de one who it's made for, shuah, an' ye couldn't Bhoot yourself wid it, no how." "Well, uncle, I'll load the smoothbore, anyway," said the marshal, suiting the action to the word, "and this afternoon we'll try it at a mark. If I miss a half dollar at a dozen paces I'll give np that your right If I hit, your 'suicide bullet' is no better or worse than a leaden one. "All right, massa, but you won't hit," replied the old darky, Just as Nutting completed the charging of the weapon a visitor called, and it was thrust hurriedly into a pigeonhole in the desk. His visitor's business de tained him from the office until night, and the plan of the morning was forgot ten. Ihe dueling pistol with its silver missile lay unnoticed for months in the desk, The days and weeks passed, summer came and went, and fall ripened the year. A dozen times had the marshal organized expeditions and scouted the country, seeking the notorious Allen, but each time he had returned unsuc cessful. One final effort, however, was to be made. Certain information which he knew to be reliable had at last, he felt Sure, put the outlaw in his hand, and he looked to his horse's shoes and loaded his pistols with unusual C6,re. At his orders mounted guards men on whom he could depeud patrolled all the roads. Upon the morrow at dawn, with a posse of seven fearless mountaineers, he was to storm the very stronghold of the moonshiners, and tomorrow night would find A vacancy either in the gOTernment office or in the ranks of the illicit distillers. The expedition had thus far, Nutting believed, been kept a secret. Because of this he looked forward with strong hopes of success. The officer sat at his desk writing, ne had but a few pages to complete, a letter or two to prepare for the mail, and some memoranda to destroy. He might never sit at that desk again. As his eyes wandered over the mass of papers, documents and duplicate reports filed neatly away before him, he suddenly noticed the butt end of his old dueling pistol, half hidden in one of the compartments, and as the remembrance of how it came there flashed over him he was about to draw it from its hiding place when a shuffling step at the door arrested hira, and an instant later an aged and bwit woman entered the door. The hour was late, and Nutting the new comer with' surprise, as he arose to offer her a chair. She ac oepted it with a whine of thanks and sank panting into it The marshal resumed his seat at the desk. "Ye are the gov'ment man, 1 reckon?" said the woman, after a pause', raising a brown and wrinkled f.ice. half hidden ' IMPLEMENT COMPANY ,11. .. l Me a ....
