BREEDING OF FUES
IS EASILY PREVENTED
The Last Shot
In a Feud
BrF. A. MICHEL
, A girt aboat aerentMO yean old. In
calico dress, suubonnet and cowhide
loots, was walking through a wood In
Kentucky on her way to a spring for
water when, making a short cut In s
bend in the path, abe came upon s
man asleep. He was young, but there
waa a hunted look on his face that
made him look older.
There was a feud of long standing
between the Griggses and the Backus-
es, and a few days before Abel Griggs
bad been shot and killed by Josh Back
us. Since the killing all the Griggses
had been looking for Josh In order to
cut another notch on their rifles to
make up for the latest Backus notch,
said notches denoting the number
killed.
The girl was Mahulda Griggs, and
she looked down on Josh Backus. He
had been driven by a cordon of Griggs'
men, who were closing In on him, to
the wood near Mahulda's home. He
knew there was no escape for him and
had thrown himself on the grass in
despair. Having been long without
food or sleep be had fallen Into a
slumber.
He awoke with a start and saw Ma-
bulda looking down on him. Each
knew who the other was, though they
had never met before. Josh sat up
and, banding bis gun stock foremost to
Mahulda, said huskily
"You’re a Griggs, 1 reckon, and 1
might as well own up that I'm Josh
Backus as killed Abel . Griggs. I'm
sure to be taken and shot I'd rather
be killed by. yon than any of the
Griggs men. and I'll be obleeged to
you If you'll put a bullet Into me where
It will kill me quickest.’'
The girl took the gun.
“Reckon I ort to kill yon." she said
“neeln’ you killed one o’ the best of
ns Griggs people."
"Put the ball thar,” said the other
rising to bis feet and tapping his heart
with his finger.
•‘Whht did yo' kill Atiel fo'r
’To match the killin' of Jim
Backus."
"Reckon you'll be killed to match the
killin' o’ Abel, and then another
Griggs 'll he killed to match the klllln
o’ yo'
•That's the way of it. Come, do the
sbootln'. Like enough, some one’ll
come along.”
“I don't want to kill yo’.” said the
girl, bringing the gun to her shoulder.
“It’s the best thing yo’ kin do fo
me.”
She aimed at him. then lowered the
gun "
"1 mought hide yo’.”
"Hide me! You, a Griggs, hide
Backus!” .
“Reckon."
"Ef your people would find It out
they'd kill yo' fo* doin' of It"
"Sartln ”
“Well, what yo' goln - to do?"
"Hide yo'. I reckon.”
— He stepped up to her. took her hand
In bis and looked intently Into her eyes,
where he saw a struggle between pity
and self sacrifice on the one hand and
revenge and possible death for herself
on the other. And he saw. too, the
moment when the decision came.
She t«>ok off her sunhonnet and hand
ed It to him. then divested herself of
her dress, w bleb she also gave to him
He understood and put them on. When
he was In her outer garments she put
on his woolen shirt, trousers and hat.
"Yo' go down the path to the spring.”
she said. ''It’s on the edge o’ the
clearin' what yo' kin see across. Ef
yo' don’t see nary one go over. Ef
yo're In danger I'll show myself till
yo' git cl’ar of ’em."
"But they’ll shoot yo' fo me.
“Reckon not. Ef they do they’ll hare
to bit me."
“Mayn't 1 have a kiss befo' I go?”
he asked with a trembling voice.
"Reckon.”
She received the kiss passively; then
they parted to go in different direc
tions, the man taking the bucket, the
girl the gun. When he reached the
spring be filled the bucket, at the same
time casting his eye over the^learlug.
He knew that one of the cordon of
Griggses was not far away; but. seeing
no one. he started across. He hadn't
gone far before he heard a voice:
"Hello thar! Yo' ^ahuldy! Whar
yo'goln'?” —
He kept on without replying. Pres
ently he beard the same voice say
“Mahuldy. ef that's yo’, yo’ come yere
or I’ll shoot at yd’.'"
Backus kept on without reply. Then

Then came the rifle's crack, but no bul
let came near him. He shuddered, for

herself and bad received the fire.
Hearing no further sound, he ran to
the wood beyond the clearing.
The Griggses, who bad fired suppos
edly at Backus and seen him fall, ran
up to him. There lay Mahulda, pale
and bleeding.
