# defeat at King's Mountain. Ferguson ,
was slain in t h<* kit; le, ami Ids follow .
foragers, numbering about one t.hoq*
sand, vvoro nearly all captured or
killed.
This emflet revived the hop'\s of
the Southern paliiots, ant forced
Cornwall! -> to rot urn to Charie. ton disconifi'te
l an ! e ist down,
"We shall have rest now," the patriots
s.ii-1, nf r t.im ha1 tie. "Ferguson,
tho dreaded. is 'Fad. and the few tories
who eseaped with their wretched '
lives are not strong cuough to do ua
harm."
Everywhere in tho vicinity of the
battlo-l'ield tho Americans breathed
freer, and tho loyalists in whose inter- j
ests Ferguson had marched to his
death, curbed, their loyalty, and in
Beeresy swore revenge,
but the settlements were booh to 1
learn that tho \ ietory of King's Mountain
had nerved the arm of a foe more '
terrible than any wideh they hod hit herto
known.
The existence of t he now terror was :
discovered by ahoy olio morning about .
a fortnight after the battle. He found
the family of Archibald Mottson murdered
in their own house, and to tiio
corpses hud boon pinned a paper bearing
1 hose words,:
"This for tho gallant Ferguson!"
This terrible atrocity aroused tho
country, and tho ox? itemont wasquiekly
heightened by t-lio finding of tho
body ofanoihor inurderod patriot. On
tho coM broa. t, which had boon pierced
by pistol balls, was tho pnli I paper
and its words of torriblo import, and
tho country know that a fearful vengeance
would ho takeu fo?c King's
Mountain.
During tlie week that followed the
d. cove: ies I have mont loned,tho work
of tho Avengers was terrible. They j
fell upon patriot houses at the dead |
of night, ami left on tho bosom j
of their victims tho Uvo words which ;
bad already terrorized the country.
It was in vain that tho i atriots summoned
their cunning and energy for j
the capture of the band of demons,
which, as it had boon discovered, num- j
bored six men, masked, and mounted
on black horses. They came and wont
1 i!:o ghosts, but always left behind tho !
terrible sentence which ha I ma le their ,
e: istence execrable. At times they j
fell upon their hunters, and left thorn
by tho roadsi lo marked with the sign i
of vengeanee.
Fear began to paralyze the Carolitd- j
tins; many abandoned their homos for j
tho sake of their tamilms; and it is ,
probable that tho entiredl??t?.lot would |
have boon depopulated in a short timo, ,
had it not been for the coinage of one
woman.
Tier nat io was Alice Doauchampo.
It was a dark night In tho last week ,
of November, when tho heroine of my ,
etory left the house of a friend. Her
own house, which had been deserted
for several dsvet wm? r?.?t f-.?. ... ??
^ ?.wv iivi ci?a>,anu j
sho had determined to return to it for
tho puri>oso of securing an article of
a; parel left behind in her recent t
flight.
lkforo sho sot out on her journoy
Bho \vii8 warned of the dangers that
environed it; but she smiled, and declared
that she did not fear them. Slio
Cuiil .I enter the old house through the
kitchen, In the rear, find the garment
without a light, and rouiru safely to
her fiu nds.
The i ath she had often traversed
Wn,s buiely discornable; but she made
good headway, and reached her homo
w ithout incident. Too silenco of tho
jjravo hung about the forsaken place,
and the Jiliing ui the hitch sent a chill
ot terror to the young girl's heart,
through tho kitchen, across tho defeated
parlor, and up the stairs, she
* ?ropt to the room where she had left
the object of her nocturnal'pi'-st. The
drawer of thu old bureau vicided without
noise, and Alice was drawing forth ,

tho garment when tlio voters of men
fell upon her ears.
8he started, dropped her prize, nn<l
with her heart in her throat crept
to tho window that overlooked tho
porch in front of the houso.
Hlio could see nothing, for tiie night
was too dark; but the voices of men,
mingled with the chomping of bits,
continued to salute her cars.
"This is old lieuuehampo's house,"
said one. "It has boon deserted for
several days. The daughter, frightened
by the manner in which wo
treated the father, has iled somewhoro
for protection." * - I
Tlioso words drove every voptigo of
color from the listener's face; they
told her who 11 jo men below were,
though she could not see even the outlines
of their persons. One week prior
to her visit, her father, one of King's
Mountain heroes, was found dead in
a palmetto grove, ami tho words of |
Ferguson's Avengers lay on his breast.
Then she hud deserted her homo,
knowing that tho hand that had struek
tho father would not spare the duugh*
ter.
Well might the lone girl tremble
when she found herself so near tho
dreaded scourges of the country, and
she diil not move until sho heard tho
front door o| "nrd by a kirk, and
heavily booted feet in tho loom bolow.
Then a calm thought of her situation
drove l'eai l'rom her heart, and
Alice licau htitnpo prepared to per- :
form one of tin in* t daring deeds of
the Revolutionary War.
Tho noise in i ho. house Increased, I
and oaMi ; ami rude j'-.-ts pieeeded and
followd the lighting oi' a lire on
the heart h.
Alice, who had longed for a sight of j
the dreaded . i\, crojt to a spot neat
the hu: an where t hero was a crack in
the. floor, Tin n applying her eye to j
the pcek-lede, she saw six wild look- '
in 14 niea directly la UL.-.th her.
They wore, be.\ und douht, tlio Avengers
of I Tgr -n'a death, for several
masks lay on the tal>le, along with
three or f air bottles of wine which
they had taken from some patriot's
cellar. Toll, rough, devil-inay-earolooking
f'-ll >\vs tliey were, armed with
pistols, cat bines, and sabres, tho kind
of men wlio ncvci' court tko smiles of
mercy orb-don tw the pleading of innocence.
.Just Giich fellows as they wero, |
Alice bad supposed them to be, for ,
she had seen many of the prisoners j
taken at King's Mountain, and she |
longed for the presence of a band of j
patriots. There were true men in 1
South Carolina at that timo who would ,
have given their right arms for a
chance to exterminate the Avengers, i
and Alice knew whore a lit tie party of
patriots lay, but alas! they wero not ,
very near.
"We'll rest here nml finish thnt.
wine!" said one of the loaders of tho
baud, whose face told that already ho
had imbibed freely. "bring in tho
poultry, and on old Hcaucbumpo's
hearth we'll prepare n feast."
At his command, one of the men
left tiie house, but soon returned,bearing
with him a din k and several ehiekens,
from whose freshly wrung necks
tho warm blood was dripping.
"How's tho horses," asked one of
tho Avengers, as the man Hung tho j
poultry on t he table.
" Standing !iko rooks," was the ro- !
ply. "Sudi horses as they are don't j
need watchin g and, beside, Micro Isn't
arebel within ten miles of this aceur- i
ed place."
b "Why, there's the Widow ITartzcll."
"I didn't think of her," was the ro. 1
ply. "How bitterly old 1 fart /.ell hated j
us, but we caught him at last."
"Ami presented him with a breastpin
! Ha! ba!"
And the laugh went round the room. (
Alieo Jjoauehampe did not wait until
the laugh was ended; while yet, it tilled
the house with its devilish echoes, sho
glided across tiie room to a w indow
that looked out upon the dark palmetto
grove, behind the building.
There was no assh in the window,
and the cool winds of the night kissed
the palid cheek of the partisan's
daughter. For a moment sho tried to
pierce tho darkness beneath the window;
but, failing in her endeavors,
she crept ova-the ill. resolved to
trust to fortune f success.
The distance (o 1 ho ground was not
grout, and the daiing girl ulighlod
without injury.
Now feiho five to make licr 09capo
to tlio friends she hud lately left;
but imlit lint(light in that direction
was not lu r intent ion.
"ileaveil ni ! mo!" she murmured,
as site glided around the old house
and approached t he horses which the
tories laid left tethered to the small
trees a few yards from tho door.
A glance into tho room revealed tho
forms oft lie Avengers discussing tho
wine wiih oath and jest, or watching
the roasting of the fowls. They did
not fear danger, for their horriblo
deeds had completely terrorized tho
country, and under the sway of their
lawlessness it was fast becoming a
desert.
Alice counted them boforo sho
touched a single rein; and thonina
brief period of time she loosened tho
horses and quietly le<| thorn into a
small copse not far away. The stocds
did not refuse to obey her guidance.....I

copse, she struck thein with a whip
whic h she had found beneath a saddle.
It was a smart Mow that she administered,
and t lie horses started forward
and disappeared in an instant .
Thus in a few moments Ferguson's
Avengers had been deprived of their
horses.
Flushed with triumph, Alleo Beauchainpe
returned to the house, and
again looked in upon its hilarious tenants.
Hhe now held a pistol in her hand?
a weapon which a holster had granted
her, and s ho crept to the edge of tho
porch before she halted. There was
the Hash of vengeance in the dark
eyes of tho partisan girl whilosho

"Now for 1110 swamp!" sho cried,

had almost rceo\ered their scattered 1

Aliee Ileauchampe's voieo had tired '
j tho hearts of a patriot band for vengeance.
On her way to tho swamp
! sho had encountered the partisans
who had captured one of tho Hying
horses, a tit) were following the trail,
Tho conlliet between patriot and
tory was brief and almost hloodless.
The live avengers were made prison- i
