will not accompany her; their meeting was such
as will be anticipated from their pious charac-
tiers; and though the good woman was alarmed
by the strength of the circumstances adduced
against her beloved boy, yet not for a moment
was her faith in the Justice of the Almighty
shaken as to permit fear that the gulltless
would suffer But leaving them mutually striv-
ing to strengthen and encourage each other, we
will ask our readers to accompany us into the
kitchen of Dr.. Rvingtons house, whittier judy
Immediately returned on the departure of her
mistress
She's a noble hearted woman, that's what
she Is said the girl, whose admiration was eX-
cited by the christian irmness she had exhibit
ed " she is iist the right sort of mither for
SIGH a swat young gInteman as ne Is; and
YOU Jimmy turning to Buckhorn who sat
with a sorrowing countenance III a corner,)
we're a pretty backyard, ar'nt We, to be
going to give information ginst what you
know nlyer did harm in his born days All
cit along with Vein fairly sick of ye.'
But, Judy when found the rifle laying
by the dead body, answered the distressed
young man, / very maturity said to Carlock
that that was the best trail we could have; for
| know'd old Silversight had been down in the
new settlement, and so, SAYS |, the man what
got this ere rifle from Drills must be the muir
derer; and if I'd a-know'd 1t was the Doctor
took it out miss fire but I'd a-held my peace,
if never could shoot back agin till told
it. | hardly b'lieve he killed the old fellow
now
Now, pom my honor ye're great fool re-
sponded the indignant Judy; you hardly bleve
it, do We: tell YOU what Jimmy Buckhorn,
the man comes sparkling TO me, II set lver
so much by him, should nver CIT my consent,
if he was the means of putting the dear young
ginteman in limbo, till he contrved ways and
means to GIT him clare agin. You don't 'heve
he's guilty; Arrah now, Jimmy, ! We told you
aiore IS a sort of liking for you-but d sooner
blieve YOU had murdered the poor old vaga-
bond, in cold blood, than that Mister Charles
did it, if he was liver SO provoked
Buckhorn rose from his seat when the fluent
and handsome Irish girl finished her speech,
and taking her hand, Judy, said he, my nag
is tired down-but II cit Bob Miller 's-l'll 90
down and see the doctor at the Jail window and
find which way he went out To head waters
then I'll follow up his trail from town, and see
where he cut off to old Wentworth's, for it's
sartn he slept there-it may turn out that the vii
lains trail and his are two different If so
be that's the truth, I'll keep on the scent till
find out who the rail ruff an is-and there's no
time To be lost for II may come up TO snow and
that will fill up the tracks IN short order. So,
Judy, give me your hand, and there, continued
he, kissing the blushing glrl's lips I'll find out
who the scamp is, or in case that's impossible,
If Doctor Rivington does not git clare it shall
be his fault
\ heavy fall of snow did unfortunately occur
that night, leaving the wide prairies white
and smooth as unwrttcn paper, and consequently
depriving our illuminated hero, of the most
obvious, and apparently, of every mode of sub
stantatng his innocence His confidence,
however, in the divine protection was undimn-
ished, and nightly from the silence of his cell,
went up the inaudlble aspirations of a soul that
firmly relied the goodness and Justice of its
prayer-hcarng Father. Nor did those pious
prisons ascend unaccompanicd through the still
vault of night to the Almighty ear; the aged
mothers conrIte heart was poured out in agony
of prayers; the parents of his allianced bride
knelt often before the throne of heaven for the
welfare of their slandered boy, as in their afiec-
ton they called him, and the blue eyes of Cath
crime wept applications and her pure and in
nOcent heart, hitherto untouched by sorrow, ex-
cept on the occasion of her sisters death, now
continually sent unworded and unutterable ap-
peals to her heavenly father for her lovers life
In the meanwhile week after week rolled by
and the day appointed for trial at length arrived
TO BE CONTINUED.
