"Ani I to give away the bride?” I
asked. ‘ It will go hard If I may not

She drew her brows together, but
did not answer me. "Thou need eat not

"Truly, a fine plan!" I could not

“And and she w ill Is* very grateful

"i^aterr' said Father Renoit. 1 went'
to where, Just inside the post cm ft*. |
played s little foiintnlh with a cup and
a'stntiic df Our Lady. I wrenched the)
cup free, filled It and began to mutter;
prayers and curses; all ralnglkd togetb
er In my falling tears. The gate was
open, and through It 1 saw a figure
•cuddtng down the hill like a scared
rabbit. It was^the Sleur d’Audllly. So
we had married her to n craven and
killed her Into the bargain! The one
deed balanced the other. The tears
dried on my hot face ns l hurried hack
with the brimming cup.
The alarm of Loys had wakened no
one, and the court .was as still as death
■as we bathed her white face and forced
a little of the water, lietween her lips.
Down in the valley a horse neighed as
It parted company with Its fellow. lu
a moment she opened her eyes and said
clearly, seeming to recall everything ot
once: "I am dying. Where Is he?"
Father* Benoit’s for face was work
ing. and the tears chased each\ther
down Ids round cheeks. He looked at
me in an ijgoiiy.*"
It was no time to count words. I
took her hand and kissed It. "He is
dead, modame.”
She never doubted me. A bright
smile shone on her little face, and her
slender limbs relaxed. I lifted her In
my arms, and Father Renoit began the
short absolution through his tfara, ; As
he lifted his hand she raised her heipl
on my arm and looked straight up !**-
tween u* aud beyond. She closed her
eyes again, aud we thought her dead,
hut she opcmil them once more and
sinlhil upon us.' just :»m she had smiled
over her rose** that very,day.
"1 hope you have not lost the red
kine.” said she. quite In her old voice.
"Von are l*otb so eareles*. Rut lost or

legs before a big log tire or drank hot
toddy in the barroom, mixed by the
good wife of.the ongiual Vanderbilt, a
buxom, homely soul ‘who knew how
to brew a punch that would warm the
heart of the weary guest. Eloping
couples sojourned under the Vander
bilt roof, and statesmen of the Burr
aud Hamilton type wlto loved the cheer
of the Hellonia.
It was while conducting this hotel
that Commodore Vanderbilt took hi?
first lessons in the field there was fora
railroad, lie saw the demand for a
belter mode of travel than 'coach and
sloop. He bad taken the hotel by tbe
advice of William Gibbons, president
of the New York and New Brunswick
Freight company. Tbe hotel wa* budi
in 1K0.I and had passed into Uie hands
of the com pan v. Before he became a
boniface he dredged oysleis for a liv
ing in the lUntaa hay. He wm
noted for hi* aki!fr aud daring as an
ovslenuau. _ _
aa the nectmt of the' gods compared to
this coccoction brewed to the New
York tentmqoi dioUict. Our moon
shiners make whisky out of corn, and,
when properly made, it is Ihe best
whisky ou earth. The New York -
moonshiners make their whisky out of
any old thing, and the result is tbe
.vilest draught that ever went down a
human throat. It is liquid fire—no
less. Some sugar or molasses, plenty
of water and a few pounds of yeast are
all that the New York moonshiner re
quires to turn out a whisky which npt
only makes a man speedily drunR, but
seems to kindle every vile instifict of
his nature to white heat. «■
“The New Y'ork moonshiner operates
in a cellar, in a room, anywhere, in
fact, where one would not expect to
find an illicit still. He is usually as
sisted byltis wife or daughter, and has
been known to carry on the business
for years without detection. His wo
men folks generally peddle the stuft
from tenement to tenement, selling by
the drink or in whatever quantities the
buyer may desire. I have a friend in
the revenue service 1 in New Yofk who-
writes me that the wife of one moon
shiner carried the stuff—more than a
gallon of it—in a rubber belt about her
waist.
“ It is much more difficult to detect
these New York moonshiners than
their Southern brethren. The latter
do their work in their homes and are
bothered by no waste, lu tbe South
a man falniliar with the odor can smell
a still for miles. But in New York
there are so many scents more power
ful that the peculiar odor of the still
has Hllle chance of being detected.
The government keepe a large number
of revenue othcials at work io New
York, and many arrests are made
yearly, but still the producttou of liquid
hell goes steadily on. Half the brutal
cnni-s of tbe east side* may be traced
to the roosumpdoa of the product
brewed by the tenement moonshiner*.
Tbe man wbo get* outside of that staff
is capable of cotumilt:Qg any rnme m
Uie raleodar.

HU fat face wa* pal**. Ids lips dry.
Before lie could find a word there
was a liglit rap at the door. I sprang
to fiing It open, hut no one was to ho
seen. A small .object lay upon the
threshold, and 1 brought it to the la
tter’s tinnu* and liehl It for Father Be

hastily ftiaf it fell and hounded on the
floor and rolled away into a-corner.
"We,had best go down now,” said
he. I’took the taper aud went before,
winding my bauble’s head In my man
tle that the hells might not sound.
At the chapel door a woman’s figure
stood peering for our light. She wit*
wrapped In a long cloak, but the hood
was pushed hack,-and the taper’s flame
lit up, dear and full, the comely fea
tures of Rosalind.
My heart leaped up, and Father Be
noit drew a long breath.
*"Let me light thee, good fool,” said
Rosalind, taking the taper from my
hand. I began a smart speech, out ot
my uew learning, about a fair Psyche
lighting a sorry pair of antique Cupids,
but all confus«‘d because my heart
was so light. .

courtyard I kick' d the coin Into Loys*
face, sprang out, dragged the door shut
with a great noise and. sped after

I was almost at their behls—thinking
all safe, for 1 knew that the Sieur

open aud Loys running after me,
shouting at the top of his lungs:
“Treachery, treachery! * A’ mol, a’
mol! Halt, there!"
The others had stopped short at the
sound of his voice, but It was out of
sheer bewilderment. For one moment
their shapes stood out clear and sharp
In the moonlight; then they turned and
began to run again, the girl “between
the other two, each with a hand In
hers. Seeing that they would not stay,
Loys, hurriedly adjusting his arque
bus, fired upon. them. Now, whether
It was that his aim. being Without a
staff on which to rest ills heavy arque

her two hands and fell without a cry.

Loys and sprang, upon him, forcing
him to the ground under my knee,

The old hotel is a New Brunswick
landmark now. Half the old liar* and
most aged inhabitants tn town will tell
how they drank wii lAim, but rarely at
his expense, for that is not the way in
which fortunes are founded. The
hotel is noW a tenement house. It
shows the wrinkles of age. Its ancient
glory is gone. Its only use, except as
a tenement, is that it servcMo point a
moral and adorn the laics of the chin-
whiskered fraternity who retail remini
scences to all comers.
But in the old days when the Van
derbilt who was to become commodore
)y aad by, ran it the Bellonia hotel
was one of the most important slopping
daces and one of the beat paying prop
erties in the .State. The New York
and New Brutlswiek Tl eight company
ran a. line of passenger and freight
sloops between New Brunswick, down
the Raritan river to the bay aud thence
to New York city, lauding al the Bat-
'ery every alternate day.
A trip by sloop from New York to
Jrunswick in those days was almost as
momentous an event as is a jaunt to
Europe noir.'Mr. Vanderbilt caught
the passengers going and coming and
tut them up al his well-appointed inn.
"'ravelers waited at the Bellonia for ar
riving or departing boats or lor ihe

the Atlanta Coastitution. M lo fact
to read tbe aewsfiapen. one would
conclude that illicit whiaky is made in
no section of lbs United Males save
lh* South. The public is not to blame
for so thinking, for evefy story relal
ing to moonshiners has its scene lai*
in the mountains of Dixie. In litcra
lure, the moonshiner is distinctly a son
of Ihe Southland.

The eas| side of New York is a hot
bed of nroonshiuets. There are huu
dreds of men in that section of the
•great city who make large sums o! r
money by manufacturing whisky illi
citly.
‘These New Yoik moonshiners
have nothing in common with the
mountain dew makers of tbe South
save the desire to evade the revenue
laws of the government. The moon
shiner of the South is a citizen of the
raountainr, and. like all dwellers in ele
vated regions is characterized by certain
manly trails which com(>el admiration.
The New York moonshiner is a deni
zen of the tenements, and there is little
that is manly in his makeup. He is
nearly always a foreigner and his ap
pearance suggests tbe dynamite bombs
of the anarchist rather than the tradi
tional rifie of the Southern moon
shiner.
“ The making of illicit whisky in
New York is of comparatively new
origin. Of courae the- etulT has been
made there for a long time, hut it is
only in the last fifteen years that it has
been made in suchiiuaiitities.
“ As 1 have saifi, the foreigners—
lussian Jews generally—make the
greater part of 'New York’s illicit
whisky. In the sweb) shops these men
would make probably t*> or Is a week,
but some of them make as much aa $50
a week out of illicit whisky. It requires
little money to engage in tbe business,
and the profits are so large that the
