But in tl.is inltance it is very eaGiy
ito DC accounted for. lie had heard of
a man who lurked about this wood for
erqb6ery or foine other bad deGgn, and
| that 1t was conie6tured this man was
Hawkins. Mr. FalkIand's compaiiion
had already been itrcngly interefted in
fhehalf OF this victim of rural tyranny !;
Ehe had il vain endeavoured to find him,
and do HIM good and he eafily con-
EeeIyed that, if the conjecture which had
been made In this initance proved true,
nc nighr have it in has power not ONLY
re do what ne. had always intended, but
farther &c fave from a perilous offence
agaiRlt the laws and iociety man who
appeared TO have ftrongly iulbibed the
| principles OF luitice and virtue. He
took with him two servants, becau!e,
going with The express dehgn OF encoun~
tering robbers, if robbers fhould be
found, he believed he faouid be mex
cufabie if he did not go provided againft
pollible accidents. But he mad directed
them, at the fame time that they kept
within call, to be out of the reach OF be-
Jag feen and it was only the eagerne{s
cfrheir zeal thar had brought them w
| thus early IN the preienr encounter.
Ms. Falkland had a little before lladrhe
! opportunity TO convince himieif that the
| village conjecture in relation to Haw-
kins was untrue and was now upon The
tPoint OF returning home, with no other
| jatisfa9ion than that OF having intended
tsE act OF benevolence, when Grimes
/ and Emily CAME up TO the lpot upon
winch he had ported hiu1ielf
! This new adventure promiicd ione-
thing extraordinary. Mr.. Falkland
( did not Immediately recognize Miis
| Melville, and The Psrfon Of Grimes was
that ola total ftranger whom he did not
recolleet to have ever leen. But II was
eafy 10 undcritand the merits ofrhe cafe,
ard the propriery of interfering. The
refolute manner of Mr.. Falkland, com
bined with the dread which Grimes, op
! preGed with Z fen1e Of wrong, entertain
ed Of the oppoftion 81 20 elevated per
Tonnage, (peedily put the ravi1her TO-
flight. Emily was lefl alone with her
deliverer. he found her much more
collected and calm than could realonablq
have been expected from perfon who
| had been q moment before in the mott
alarming Gruation. She told him of the
place 70 which lne dclired 20 be CON
veyed, and l,c Immediately undertook 10
elcor1 her. rs they went along, fhe
recovered thai fate Of mind which in
cllned her to make 4 perion TO whom
lhe had iuch repeated obligations, and
who was 70 cmincutIy The Object Of herE
admiration, acquainted with che events
that had recently befallen her. Mr.. |
Falkland lif,cned with eagerncis and
furprile. Though he had already known
various infances Of Mr.. Tyrrels mean
jealouiy and unfeeling tyranny, this fur |
paled them all, and he could (caYcey
credit his ears while he heard the tale
His brutal neighbour feened to realile

10 repeat in the courie OF her tale her
