prospect Of escape through the mercy OF
The Judge, after a fortnight's residence in
prison, phid- his fine .ot. a hundred and
twenty doilafs, and was released. ~
He now breathed nothing but ven
geance. "I'll teach the Yankee scoun-
drel," said he, that a member of the
Kentucky bar is net to.be treated in this
manner with in,punity." AZ
The Judge held his .heSt court at Frank
fort, and thither Mr.. ID. repaired to take
revenge for. the personal indignity he, had
suffered. Judge II. is as remarkable for
resolutc sfearlessness as for talents. fiVas
ness, and integrity, and after having pro-
vided himself with defensive weapons, en-
tered upon the discharge of his duties with
the most philosophical Indifference. On
passing from his hotel to the court house,
the, Judge noticed that man Of great size
and evidently of tremendous muscular
strength followed him so closely as to al
low no one to step between. He observ-
ed also that Mr.. d. supported by three or
four friends, followed close hard upon the
heels of the stranger, and on entering the
court room, posted himself as near the
seat of the Judge as possible, the stranger
mepnt;nie taking care TO interpose his huge
body between the lawyer nnd the judge.
For two or three days, matters went on in
this way; the stranger sticking like burr
to the Judge, and the lawyer and his assist
ants Keeping ss near as possible but re-
framing from violence. AT length, the
curiosity of Judge, r. to learn something
respecting the purpose ofthe modern Her
cules became irrepressible, and he invit-
ed him to his rosm, and inquired who he
was, and what object he had in view in
watching his movements thus pertinacious
- q Why you see," said the stranger, e.
jecting quid of tobacco that might have
freighted small sI<iff, "I'm. d ring tail'o
rearsr from Big Sandy River, / can. out
v,n, outjulnp, and Outright any man in

you fair play, so come here to see you
but, and now il. you'll only ray, the word

Eff. y. soon learned the feeling with
which the champion regarded him, and
Withdrew without attempting to execute
his threats Of vengeance upon the Judge.
