The State was at that time fairly overrun with out­ laws of all classes. •, Bushwhackers, highwaymen, counterfeiters and moonshiners nestled in all the country side among the mountains and5 upon the lonely roads;whilc gamblers and desperadoes swarmed in and about t.hA enf 11 />*»-»**OMttvtn •••« *•••" -- •-- +• WV.VUIWHWJ. X^« IUIT; n UCUT. and the life of a United States officer was a series of stirring adventures in­ volving great danger, and demanding as great tact and personal bravery. But Nutting proved himself worthy and tit for the office. A young man of temperate habits, quick wit, splendid physique and dashing cour­ age, he was never at a loss how to act, and the vermin that infested that region soon learned to hate and fear him intensely. Many were the expeditions which the officer had-led, many his escapes, and many the prisoners safely cap­ tured and walled by his efforts; but one man evaded him. The shrewd­ est and wonft moonshiner of all was still at large; despite ali. his efforts, Nutting had not yet sfecured RuloiT Allen. ' . ' This man was known throughout the State. His career had been that of a criminal from his birth. In the fastness of Southwestern Virginia he manufactured whisky on a grand scale, and was the owner of a dozen or more queer stills, and snapped his Angers 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 light touch on his shoulder. He started up quickly. A stranger stood before him. "The United States Marshal?" said he, intorogatively. "Yes, sir," said Lawrence, rifting. "Be seated. What can I do for you?" "I would speak with you alone," he said, as he glanced around. "I have matters of importance to oom- municate." ' "This office is out of hearing of the street," said Nutting, "and we are by ourselves. You can speak frsely." The other drew a couple of cigars from his Docket, offered one to the Marshal and lit the other one him­ self. Nutting followed his exam­ ple; 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 revol­ vers might be seen, and blewing the smoke from his cigar said in a quiet tone to his companion: "You are desirous of arresting a noted moonshiner, one Ruloff Allen, are you not?" , "There is no doubt about that," said the Marshal, smiling. "I am the man." Nutting's cigar never stirred In bis. lips; his hand did not quiver nor his breath come any the quicker. A single sign showed how deeply he was moved; his eyelids dilated, then he laughed soft and low. "You--j'ou Ruloff Allen! My friend, I know Allen. His hair is red; yours is black. His face bears a scar across the chin; yours "a beard. (His teeth are broken, yours are per­ fect. The joke is good, but you 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. "And 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. 1 am fully as desperate a man as the report makes me. 1 am as strong as you are. Do not try to arrest nut Jor I shall then be obliged to kill ydB I am here for a private talk, but Itwas necessary you should know who I am. I will not molest you if you will do the same by me, and give me fifteen minutes to escape when we have finished." Nutting measured bis chances. Un­ armed, 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 be both unarmed. And now I would tell you a story." Then he drew his chair still nearer the marshal, and as the twilight fell and night descended he told of his life--a wiercf, 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 visitor paused, and then concluded as fol­ lows: ^ "So have I lived. As a wild man almost; and that life has for the past live years been more a mania than ever before, but with a methoo. I am pnd have been seeking money and moner only. Not so widely different, you may say, from all the world, ex- paled, and his bind icrept toward his hip; then restraining himself with a scoffing laugh, he said: "Be ft so. Then we are enemies. I, to you and the law; you to me. Re­ member my fifteen minutes, and be­ ware when next we meet!" He threw his cloak about him, buckled his pistols at his waist, and disappeared, but as he left the room a little piece of metal fell from his person, and rolled unnoticed upon the floor. A minute later the ring of his horse's hoofs sounded through the night as he rode toward the. KK; as tr­ ains. The morning following, as Nutting entered his office, his aged servant bowed low before him, extending his brown and wrinkled band, and said, In an awe-stricken voice: "Foun' dis on de floor, massa. S'pose him your'n, bad ting, massa, bad--ef ye 'lew old nigger to say so?" The Marshal leaned forward in sur­ prise. Lying in the outstretched palm of the black was a silver pistol bullet "Why, uncle," said he, taking it, "that is not mine." "Not j'our'n massa! TankdeLord! I'se pleased, I is, massa. Foun' it yer, dough. Dat ar's a seweysic^p bullet, massa," he continued, lower­ ing his voice to a whisper, while his eyes rolled like ships in the midst of white and seething billows. «'I know 'em! My ole massa he had one cast, an' carried it many years. Deyneber kill no one but de fellers dey's made for. Massa John, dough, he didn't get a chance for to usehis'n,"and the old man chuckled. "A suicide bullet," said Nutting, with a smile„ as he examined the silver sphere. "That's a new idea to me. Why make a special bullet, uncle? I should think one of those deadly enough." And he pointed toward some of the heavy cartridges belonging to his own pistols which lay on the table near. "Dey mought miss, massa. You know dc deoil cares for bis own, an' dis bullet is :r,aclc by ins help, uu night, in de grabeyard, an' can't miss. I knows 'em, massa. 1'sfe seen 'em afore." Then, drawing nearer, he whispered* "I'se made 'em!" "And did they do their workf'/jj&id Nutting, laughing lightly., '<Dey did, massa." • The officer now opened a drawer in his desk, and took from 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, uncle. Bring me my flask, and I'll load it with the suicide bullet. It's best to have it handy by if I get the blues. And he laughed again. The servant obeyed. " "No use to fix 'im, massa. Twoii't only kill de one who it's made for, shuah, an' ye couldn't shoot yourself wid it, nohow." "Well, uncle, I'll load the smooth­ bore, any way," 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 a dozen paces, I'll give up that you're right. If I hit, your 'suicide bullet' is no better or worse than a leaden one." . "All right, massa, but yon wont' hit," replied the old darky. Just as Nutting completed the charging of the weapon a visitor called, and it was thrust hurriedly into a pigeon-hole in the desk. His visitor's business detained him from the office until night, and the plan of the jporning was forgotten. The dueling pistol with its &ifver missile lay unnoticed for months iri the desk. The days and weeks . passed, sum­ mer came and" went, and fall ripened the year. A dozen times, had the Marshal organized expeditions and. scoured the country, seeking the no­ torious Allen, but each time be had returned unsuccessful. < One final ef­ fort, however, was to he made. Cer­ tain 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 care. At his orders mounted guards-- men on whom, he could depend--pa­ trolled all the roads. Upon the mor­ row at dawn, with a posse of seven fearless mountaineers, he was to storm the stronghold of the moon­ shiners, and to-morrow night would find, a vacancy either in the Gov­ ernment 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. He had but a few pages to complete, a letter or two to prepare for them ail. and some memoranda to destroy. He might never sit at that desk again. As his eyes wandered over the mass of4>apers, documents and duplicate reports filed neatly before him, he suddenly noticed the butt end of his old duelling pistol, half hidden in one of the compartments, and as the memory of how it came there flashed over him he was about to draw it from its biding place, when a shuffling ] step at the door arrested him, and an instant later an aged and bent wo­ man enterel the door and came to­ ward him. The hour was late, and Nutting re­ garded the new-comer with surprise as he rose to offer her a chair. She accepted it with a whine of thanks, and sank panting into it. The Mar­ shal resumed his seat at the desk. "You are the Gov'ment man, I reckon?" said the woman, after a m PHP an Immense Spectacles', ce, hm hood an&< toward N1 "Ye?,*maft»nt,"ff$iied that worthy. > "For an old woman. I've come a right smart piece to see ye. I'm true grft, I ttm, but getting wore out. These fer mountains aire a sight Steeper than they was forty year ago," and she sighed. "But see here, I'm on business, I am. I want to talk to ye. Von <!»n't know mc, npw» I reckon?'*;. v. "I cannot eay that I d<v" said Nutting. • ' "I reckon not--as ye never see me before. I am Mrs. Allen--Bethsheby Allen--and my boy, he's Ruloff Allen. Ye hev heard of him, mebbe?" and she paused and gazed cunningly into her listener's face. "Yes, I know him," and the man's •brow darkened. < "Wall, now, I tell ye. It seems yer on a raid after him to-morrow--ye see I know a thing or two--an' ye've got the boy badly cooped up this time, shore. Not but what he'll fight, and some on ye may ketch suthin' besides moonshiners. My boy is smart, he is, I tell ye, an' he'll tota ye round considerable afore ye gather him in; but he's cooped all the same, and I'm afcared ye'll get "him. I'nJ his mammy, ye know." The old hag paused and wiped her eyes. She was a woman, even yet, and Nutting's heart softened toward her, "What i:au I do in this matter, Mrs. Allen?" began the marshal. "Your son is a----" "Never mind what he is--you can save him. He's trapped, catched, cooped. But he's my boy an' I want ye to let htm go. Take his stills an' his whisky, take everything--but let him go an' I give my word--it's good ;--Bethsheby Allen never broke it yet --that in less than three day's we'll be--" "My dear madam, what you ask is impossible. I'll try not to hurt your son, but capture him I must and shall." "But if he should capture-you, what then?" At these words the green glasses fell, the hood was throw back, the bent form become straight as a lance, and before the eyes of the dazed offi­ cer Ruloff Allen himself stood, a look of dead hatred on his face, a heavy revolver in his outstretched hand. Silence reigned a moment as the joung man gazed into the deadly tube before him. ••I came here to give you' the last chance, and me the same!" hissed the moonshiner. "The chance is lost to both ol us. I go back to the mountain? and outlawry--you retire from active serviie. Can you pray? If so, do it now. In three minutes I shall kill you." Slowly Nutting's eyes ran about the room. Escape was impossiole-- help would not come. A single cry meant instant death--he was lost! i Tjia hA«trf ennb^ Suddenly the butt of the old duel­ ling pistol came within the circle of his vision. Cool as his would-be mur­ derer, he turned to him and said: "Will you let .me srnoice once more?" The fellow eyed him sharply. "Smoke? Yes, one cigar," he said at length. And lowering «he muzzle of his weapon he thrust it into his pocket to supply his victim's wants. "I have some here," said Nutting; and like a flash his hand shot up to­ ward the old duelling pistol in the pigeon hole. "Down with you hand!" cried Al­ len. It was too late. There came a sharp and ringing report, a single cry, a sickening thud upon the floor, and all was over. And the moon, breaking in between the rifted clouds without, looked through the open window at the face of the dead, while Nutting, pale and trembling, held in his nerveless hand a smoking pistol. The silver bullet had found its mark and returned to its owner. The United States Marshal was saved.

If he is at all fastidious'he objects to' having the beauty of hid album marred by having a very heavily can­ celed specimen beside an unused or lightly canceled one. In most cases, however,^there is a remedy which, with care, may be employed to clean the face of the obnoxious specimen. The necessary apparatus consists of a fine paint brush and some white un- printed blotting paper, and in a few cases a little soap, for which purpose Castile is best. Lay the stamps on a smooth piece of wood or marble and begin by brushing the face with cold water. If after repeated application this has DO effect try the soap After washing the stamp, lay it between two sheets of white blottiug paper (colored or printed paper is apt to stain the stamps), and shake it gently a few times, then allow it to remain under a heavy weight for two hours to smooth out the wrinkles. Never employ acids nor alkalies. It is next to impossible to clean em­ bossed Stamps, but if they are quite rare or very dirty, pulverize a little chalk, or procure some plaster of Paris and All up the embossed design on the back, and clean it as much as possible by lightly using an eraser.
