He also kne v the path to most of the stills, and could drink the j best of them to a finish. His wife was a good looking, buxom woman, married at 10, and I pnesessing all theTenne.-see mountain woman's respect for tho au thoritv et tho "men folks." When her liege lord had hi-> t periodical attacks of drunkenness he took tho children and cseiped to a neighbor until the spree was over. This state of utlairs was ..t:n ?i.? * :i..

He started just u/i the sun was creeping up over the Blue ltidgo mountain**, determined to put in a 1 mg day as a sampler of North Carolina corn juice. Mrs. Allen hurried through with hor household tasks, churning, sweeping up the floor ami setting the milk to cool in the spring house nearby. About the middle of the day she called ltussell, her 8-year-old boy, in, and began "primping" him up "Where are wo unsgoin,' nu('' asked the hoy us she dt enseal him in u fresh waist and a new pair ot butternut trousers. "I want you to take the b do and the now grizzled man remembers how her voice trembled, 4 to take the baby and go over ti> grandpa's." The grandiatln r lived a little distance away. So tho bigger boy set oil, cm \ ing bis baby brother with him. Mrs. Allen's sister meantime had come over for a visit.

Allen had n speedy horse ami he put out up on a search. 1)ay and night he pressed on through the wilderness of pine and dtnnteu oaks, impiirin^ at all the eahins and never stopping except f? i food and a short rest. The women, afoot, meant.mo dodged here and th--re throngo unfreipici t ed trails, rarely entering a house and suh-dsting ii11 >u com and wild wood berries. They finally ventured to stop on the Swannanou inlduncombc county, near Asheville. Tho two sisters nlwa\s suppoitcd themselves mid tlio younger always referred lo her M-der as Mi-s Allen instead of Mrs. Allen. She was >1 ill young and pood looking and shortly .John Cordt-ll, a y?>ung a prosperous farmer of the settlement, proposed to marry ' MUs Allen." It was a chance for happiness and a new 'life. So Mrs. Allen became Mrs. Corded, the marriage being performed hy a minister in quite as much state a> if there had heen no husband and no hoys on the border of Tennessee. She and her husband lived uhappily as po.-sihle until (Jordell'? death some years ago. Mrs. (airdell heard a rumor that Allen had moved to Kentucky, taking the little boys with him. This proved true, although in a few years thi two sons left bo.mo and set out tc make their foitunes and to rearel for their mother.
