A KENTUCKY “WARNING.”
Late one afternoon in September I
real lied the cabin of John Hungerford,
in a cove of the Kentucky mountains.
The family consisted of father, mother
and three small children, and there were
many comforts about the place. Hun­
gerford was an industrious, hard work­
ing man, and one of unusual intelligence
for a mountaineer, and the wife aud
children were far above the average.
They extended a right royal welcome,
and we had been visiting away for two
hours when a woman rode up on a mule.
The beast was badly blown and wet with
perspiration, and the woman must have
come dkth important news. Now was
developed a trait peculiar to all the
southern mountaineers. They are game
to a man—;:a l woman. They are the
coolest people m i..e face of danger one
ever saw.
"Howdy, John?” queried the woman
as she drew rein at the door, and as Mrs.
Hungerford appeared she added. "And
howdy, Mary?’
Both answered that they were well,
and John inquired:
“How are all you’nns, Sarah?"
"All able to dig, thankee, John."
“Corn an’ taters turnin' out well?"
"Reckon they bo. what little we’ve
got, but bark* and roots pays better.
Chilling any this fall, Mary?"
"Not a bit, Sarah.”
"Haven't heard from them'uns. 1
reckon?" queried Hungerford after a
long pause, during which the woman
tried to size me up.
“Mebbe. Who may he’un be?"
“Stranger from the no’th."
“Sartin?”
“I’m shore.”
“Will he back with ye—stand to your
back in case of trouble?"
"Haven't mentioned, but I reckon."
“Well. then, they'uns is coming up to­
night to put on the hickory.”
•‘Hu! Who said it?"
“Heard it at the corner*. It’s shore.
Bassett is gwine to lead 'em. Are ye pre­
pared, Jim?”
"Reckon.”
"And Mary?”
“She’un is prepared."
“Well, then, that’s all I've got to say.
Hope you'll hurt they’uns till they’ll be­
have themselves. Good-by, John—good-
by. Mary.”
She was off with that. I had a dim
suspicion of what was meant, but the
coolness of the trio puzzled me. When
she was out of sight I asked:
"Is it trouble?"
“Stranger." replied Hungerford, as he
pulled a twig off a bush and bit at it.
"I've been warned away!"
“How—why?"
“Took sides with the Oldhams against
the Bassetts, and the Bassetts have
warned me to leave."
"And as you have refused to go they
are coming to take you out and switch
yon?”
“Exactly-if they kin!"
“Anil are they coming to-night?"
“1 reckon."
“And you?”----
“I shel be ready."
We sat in silence for a moment. 1
looked up at Mrs. Hungerford, but she
was sewing away and trotting her foot
as placidly as if danger was at the other
end of the world. The children soon
began a game of tag, and the husband
softly whistled as he switched the twig
over the ground.
“Great heavens! but you take it cool­
ly," 1 exclaimed as I noted everything.
“Stranger," answered Hungerford as
he turned to me. "1 need somebody to
back with me to-night. This ain't your
fuss. You don’t know the Oldhams
from the Bassetts. 'Deed you may have
stayed with an Oldham last night. You
don’t want to mix in, and yet"----
“I don't want to kill or be killed, but
can't I help you some other way?"
“You kin. He un is all right. Mary
I knew he’un was."
"Glad on't." she briefly replied, not
even looking up from her knitting.
Hungerford took the whole matter as
coolly as if it was an ordinary business
transaction. There was only one way
by which his cabin could be uppioached.
It was arranged that 1 should secrete
myself in the cowshed on the one hand,
and his wife in the smoke house on the
other, and at the proper moment this
flank fire would have its effect.
Hungerford was to hold the house, and
he was the only one who was to shoot to
kill. As he said it wasn’t my fuss, but
it wasn't human nature to leave him to
fight a mob alone. When all hail been
arranged we went into supper, and after
the meal a double barrel«! shotgun was
got down and loaded for the wife. The
husband had his army musket, which he
loaded with buckshot, and 1 had my re­
volver as a weapon. As we finished our
preparations and sat down on the door
step the wife carelessly inquired of her
husband:
“Gwine to shoot to kill, John?"
"Reckon 1 orter," he replied.
“And me?"
“That'* according. Mebb* you'll hav*
