" I will kill Crockett Jenkins if he dares to betray me." she has said to more than one. One night about a month ago Mary accused Crockett of infidelity. He laughed at her. She was too excited to get her pistol. but she cpreng at his throat. A struggle followed. and Mary would have strangled him then and there but for inter- ference. Crockett left the house. Some time before this the bend moved up from Tredeweter bottome. and had hired a little grocery come four miles away on c public road lecding to Princeton. A day or so after. a crowd of men from Princeton were ‘ riding by the little grocery. all drinking! very freely. when one of them in c moment From thit time on Mary Sullivan and Crockett Jenkins were warm lovers. Jenkins, who hved some miles away, moved over to Sullivan's. and the love of the two wee the talk of the county. "I will Infill "IAA‘IAC‘ Y-..I.:._- :n L- 3,, The gang became more bold after this. and robberies became more frequent. At this time an event happened which was destined to cause the entire destruction of the band. Mary Sullivan met Crockett Jenkins. The meeting itself was romantic enough to merit being told. Mary was riding along the Tradewater one spring day. two years ago. when she saw a man on the other side preparing to cross over. The water was deep. the little river having been raised by frequent rains, and she cried out to him not to attempt to cross there. He either did not hear or paid no attention. for he plunged his horse in. The current was too strong for the horse. and he soon threw his rider off and tried to save him- self. Then. with his winter clothes on. Jenkins ‘wonld most certainly have been drowned but for Mary‘s dashing out into the stream with her horse and rescuing him at the peril of her life. She took the man up to her brother Tom‘s to let him dry his clothes. A mutual admiration soon sprang up. which quiolgly warmed into love. “ Did you see me and the Campbelle at your smoke-house ?" aeked ehe. at the same time pulling a big navy revolver and shoving it under hie none. The old man atammered out an apology. and was never afterward heard to eay a word against the Campbelle. Among the meet bitter denounoere of the gang was an old man named Felkere. who liveda few miles away from them on'the Tradewater. One night. just three years ago, two men. afterward discovered to be Tom Sullivan and Reilly Campbell, rode up to old man Felkere.’ took him and his old wife out. and beat them severely. They then rode off. Thie aflair caused the moet intenee excitement. A mob was hurriedly organized, and some ‘ ferrymen rode over to the Camp- belle'. Mary Sullivan had in some way heard that they were coming several hours beforehand. She and her brother Tom Went over to the little log but of the Campbelle and barricaded themselves. Fire was opened by the mob. and the Campbella and Sullivaue promptly returned it. After alitile the besieged made it so hot for the mob that it had to retire. The only man hurt in the melee wae Tom Sullivan, who wae_ shot in the breast. but who eoon reoov- _.__-V â€"â€"vâ€"°â€"'v\- one The efi‘eot of all this in a quiet country neighborhood can hardly be imagined Mary Sullivan’s name became the by-word for all that was infamous, and the staid country matrons lulled their babies to sleep with stories of the horrible Mary and her 'midnight rides and crimes. Then rumor turned to other things. Mary was often ‘en with the Campbell boys, and once or twice she was seen With them and her brother late at night, dashing at her usual breakneck speed over the country roads. About this time the most daring robberies began to be committed in the northern end of the county. Farmers found their smoke-houses open night after night. Several stores were broken into and robbed. and, strange to say. no one knew who committed the crimes. One old farmer began to talk very freely, saying he moguized Mary Sullivan at the head of the Campbells break into his smokehouse. A day or so afterward Mary galloped up to his house. called him out. and asked him what he meant by saying _what he did. About ten years ago there lived in the bottoms along Tradewater River. in the northern part of Caldwell county. two families destined to most terrible endsâ€"the Campbells and the Sullivans. They were considered neither better nor worse than those about them. They were ignorant and rather ehiftless, but so were many others in the neighborhood. Soon, however, the country people round about began to say strange things of the girl Mary . Sullivan. She was a bright. quick girl of 20, with light hair, light blue eyes. and a little above the medium in size. No man for miles about could outlift her. With gun or pistol she was a dead shot. On horseback there wasn't a boy in the county who could ride faster over rougher country or who dared to commit half the dare-devil pranks that Mary constantly delighted in.

Lndy Florence Dixie has arranged for a hunting expedition in the Rocky Moun- tnina. A French lady calling herself the Baroness de Saint-Estrapade. who lately appeared before the correctional tribune of the Seine on a charge of irresse manifesteâ€" in brutal English. drunk and disorderlyâ€" succeeded in convmciug the President of that court that the wearing of a fur cloak may produce an eccentricity of behavior as deceptive in its way as that produced by too liberal a consumption of salmon. Son e time ago, she informed the court. she read In a journal that the surest way of preserv- . ing furs from the ravages of moths was ‘ to stow them away in an empty spirit-cask. She accordingly bought one a month or two ago. and to its safe-keeping she can. flded her for cloak. A week ago. having to breakfast at Noel’s. and the day being very cold. she put on this garment. whrn. as she declares. once out of doors the com- blned effect 0! the cold and the alcoholic fumes emanating from the cloak made her giddy and produced all the appearances of intoxication. The ” agent" who took her 11 deposed that “ she smelt of alcohol at fifteen paces." a piece of testimony rather in her favor than otherwise; and her bonne deposed to the purchase of the cash and its employment as a wardrobe. The judge. after remarking that if every lady adopted this line of defence to the particular charge brought against the baroness conviction Would be impossible. acquitted her. -V_‘ ----â€" u..- .uInI-I‘l : and then wrote defiant notes to her enemies. 0n the 29th of September she rode over to old Farmer Hubbell's and asked for lodging for the night. She had her little 5-year-old child with her. About 10 o'clock a voice called her to the door. Her usual prudence seems to have deserted her. She did not even take her pistols, which for five years had never left her hand day or night. She reached the door, opened it and peered out. The night was dark and windy. . Heavy rain‘clonds hid everything, and she failed to see the five men with pistols in their hands standing Within a few feet of her. She opened the door and stepped out. Three strong pairs of arms reached out from the darkness, and in an instant she was whirled away outta the public road. She knew what fate lay in store for her. but uttered neither threats nor entreaties. She said never a ward, but walked along quietly with her captors. They bound her arms and feet, and, tossingher over a horse as though she was a meal sack, they joined the mob which was waiting for them on the road. They rode on till Mary recognized with a thrill of horror that they were approaching the place where Jenkins was hung. They halted under the very tree. and the leader. taking a rope Irom behind it, solemnly fastened the noose about the woman's neck. She never flinched. They took her off the horse, dragged her to the foot of the tree, threw the rope over the same limb from which Crockett Jenkins had dangled a week before, and drew the woman up. A convulsive, horrible shudder ran through her frame. but she spoke never a word. The wind moaned dismally through the branches of the wood, whisper- ing to the trees as it went that a woman's body, cold and stiff in death, was swinging ‘ from the tallest branch of the old oak tree. Nobody knew where Mary Sullivan was all this time. More than one of the mob afterward confessed that if Mary had been there the job would not have been such an easy one. A night or two later some men returning from a visit to a neighbor's thought they heard a man's voice pleading with some one for mercy. They were not positive, but thought the person addressed was called " Mary." The next day the life- less body of Crockett Jenkins was found swinging from the limb of a giant oak at the top of a tall hill. The moral proof that Mary Sullivan committed the crime. assisted by her mother and sister, seemed to be conclusive, but there was no positive proof. And so. when Mary and her mother and sister were arrested. nothing could be done to them. They were all discharged. and when Mary went back home she found death’s head notices glaring at her, warning her to leave the neighborhood. All the west of her friends were either dead or wounded. or had left. Bud Campbell was dead ; Reilly Campbell was dead; Crockett Jenkins was dead; her brother Tom had gone away to recover from his wound; her mother and sister had fled; she was an outcast and alone. But in spite of all this the woman's in- domitable courage never failed her. She went ed to make arrangements about sell- ing some cows, primed and oiled her pistols n-‘pl al.-_ â€"_AA7 of recklessness tired of! his pistol. The Campbell-i. thinking the mob was on them again. rushed out of the grocery and began firing. The men returned the shots and then gallopped on to town. This created Inother tempest of excitement, and the next day a mob was not together to exter- minate the Csmpbells. run cwrssus' ours. The next night forty men. armed to the teeth. with masks on their faces and hatred in their hearts. swept down the road toward the little log cabin where the Campbells kept their grocery. In the house was a family named MoMurty. an old man and some small children. The only other in- mates were Reilly Campbell and his brother Bud. The leader of the mob called ‘ out to the MoMurtys tolesve the house. which they instanty did. standing out in the woods shivering and waiting for what horror they hardly knew. Preparations were instantly made by the two men in the house for a tight to the death. Quarter was neither asked nor given. The mob opened fire and the Campbells answered them. Then the firing became fierce and fast. A groan came from the outside. and a little group hurried a man off in their arms. It was Hiee Johnson. a well-to-do. respectable farmer. He had a ball through his breast. and bled to death out on the road. with the pistol-balls flying over his head singing his requiem. Then came a. groan from within. and Reilly Campbell iellat his brother’s feet. But Bud stood tohis guns, doggedly firing away into the night whenever he saw the flesh of an Enemy‘s gun.

The infant whose royal papa spends a million dollars on a cradle for him is surely to be envied not a little by ordinary babes.

Mr. Lane-Poole does not fail to notice that Tennyson did not trouble him- self about accents when he made the Oaliph Haroun Er-Raschid into Haroun aI-Raschid. and he concludes his letter with a practical remark the pregnancy of which American newspaper readers will be quite as prompt as their British brethren to recognize as follows : “ Our various and complicated modes of spelling Oriental ‘names are certainly to blame for much of ‘ the confusion. and when the same place is spelt in six different ways by six different maps or six difl'erentcorrespondents. to say nothing of the idiosyncrasies of individual Orientalists. it is not surprising that the general public go wrong. If the official censor of telegrams had taken the ortho- graphy of the seat of war in hand he might have enjoyed the privilege of exercising a permanent influence on English literature. But probably this road to immortality did not occur to him." qun Lee, who is Mr. Stanley Lane-Poole. than whom it would be difficult to find a more competent authority, has addressed to a London newspaper some much-needed instructions as to the pronunciation of the Egyptian proper names of which patriotic poets in 1 England are making such a sad hash. “ It may be laid down as ageneral rule." he says, " that Egyptian names of places and people are much better kept in the middle of the line, onto! the way of the rhyme. The ‘ neglect of this rule results in such mistakes as Tel-el~Kebir rhyming with ‘ sabre.’ when it is really pronounced “ Tel-el Kebeer " and would rhyme with ‘severe,’ ‘ Arabi,‘ again, does not agree, either in accent or in the sound of the last syllable with ‘lullaby,’ but rather with ‘ a harpy ;’ and Kassassin is no rhyme for ' assassin.‘ though it might run with ‘ as a scene.’ Ismailia, with the accent on the penultimate, Port Said and Zagazig â€" both accented on the last syllable on the back of a veritable “Rozinante.” lts tail had been tied up in a twist to keep it clear of the mud. and the owner was working it along at high pressure by the application of a “ Ssirey Gamp" umbrella to its hind quarters. ‘Vith all his absence of pretence there is. howeVer. no man with greater pride than Lord Dufferiu, and, having a fine old Irish temper of his own. he can come down properly at times upon an y one that may chance to ofiend his dignity or thwart his purpose, as the Turkish Ministers have felt on more than one occasion. Seeing His Lordship, as I have said. casting aside all the traditions of ambassadorial life at Constantinople. roam- ng about unattended in the streets and in society instead of maintaining the dignified . reserve of his colleagues. laughing and flirting with all the girls and dancing away like the youngest bachelor present, no wonder the Turks were led to depreciate the diplomatic force that lies behind this careless manner. They found out their mistake. however, in the recent negotia- tions on the Egyptian question. when Lord Duflerin so cleverly beat them at their own game. His Lordship speaks of returning by Christmas. and Lady Dufferin says that she still hopes to give society the promised theatricals at the embassy before leaving for her spring trip to England. Her Ladyship is a wonderful actress. and the performances on the embassy stage are real treats to the British colony. The mather of grown up sons and daughters she has naturally reached a certain age. but “ the youthfulness of her figure carries off a great deal. and her get-up is so wonderful that I have heard an admiring critic of the 1 male sex declare more than once that it is well for the peace of mind of her friends that Lady Dufi‘erin does not alwayslook as she does upon the stage.
