"They went towards the village, and we fear
they are determined 10 injure you; perhaps they
will attack you from an ambuScade."
"Neyer fear that" says he, IL am well prepa-
red for such fellows. In the mean time comfou
yourself with the hope Of better times" So say
ing he bid them good night, and was of in mo-
ment.
They looked from the window, but saw moth
ing except the sparks Of fire which his horses
shoes struck from the finty rocks, over which be
bounded with full gallop, as they judged from
the sound Of his feet.
"Heaven preserve him." cried the moiher.-
The daughter looked pale, and family uttered,
al hope So"
During this time the lawyer had been TO tho
village, and hired two more men armed with mus.
kets, and all five had planted themselves in the
pine woods, at proper distances, 10 seize the rob.
Der, as they called him, dead or alive; for they
understood from another man in the village who
came with the stranger. and who they supposed
was his accomplce in the robbery, as he would
give no direct answers TO their inquiries, that the
stranger would positively be there that night.
1t was about ten O'Clock when our stranger left
the log hut, and as he entered the pine woods an
awful black cloud hovered over the tops Of the
gloomy pines rendered visible by now and then
flash Of lightning, and beginning TO wave brisk
ly to and fro by the gusts OF wind that began to
roar among the branches, with heavy believing
thunder.
He had proceeded little more than half way
through the woods, when he found his horse sud-
denly stopped by two men seizing him by the bri-
BILE, one on each side. He drew pistol from his
pocket, shot one, who fell, and knocked down The
other with the but of his whip, as he put spurs 10
his horse; but he had not gone but few rods,
when two muskets were fired at him, the ball
from one went through his hat crown, and the
other cut button from his vest, but did not injura
him. At the same instant, all three sprang in the
path before him, and with the butts Of their mus.
kes, laid his horse over the head, and so stagger-
ing him thai with the others behind, who had now
come up, being recovered from their wounds
they succeeded after violent struggle, in tearing
the stranger from his horse, who had discharge
another pistol among them without much effect
and had fought most desperately with his heavy
loaded whip and given several severe contusions
They made him theirPrsoner, pinioned his arms
behind him and led him in triumph tolheyllage
where they secured him under keepers until
morning.

CHAPTER v.

1t has been mentioned that in the attack on the
stranger in the pine woods, by two men he shot
one Of them down, but his fall was more the eff.
feet of sudden alright than of severe injury, for
he received only slight wound in the flesh, the
ball just grazing the side of his head. These
were the Two men first mentioned at the cottage.
At the time the other two men fired at the
stranger, he was in the act Of wheeling his horse
round in order 10 find out he state of his two
first assailants, and this gave them all an advan.
tage over him; otherwise he might have esca'
ped.
The alarm spread through the village that 6
bold dashing highway robberwas caught and 10 b;
examined for commitment, which brought high
and low 10 the inn, as the fog cleared away and
the morning sun began to show his dazzling
countenance about the tops Of the surrounding
pines. Hearing the hustle, and fearing the cause
| the man before mentioned who came in compa'
nv with the stranger to the village, had decamp
ed in haste, and this strengthened the susplclor
arainst the prisoner; but the fact was he had only
! fell in company with him on the road, and die
not know who he was; of course he was muct
LaIarmed at what had taken place, and like pru
dent man made off with himself, lest he might b.
taken for an accomPlice.
And now began the scene Of examination
Two justices were called in; one with ''specta
cles on his nose"-ooked mazing wise-and th'
other with huge volume ofaw under each arm
looked ''more wise, more learned, more every
thing" Two Young lawyers volunteered thel
services in behalf of the people besides living
ham. The two justices took their seats beh!n'
large table, and the prisoner was brought tor
ward. The men of the law were bounutully
supplied with pen, ink and paper, to make min
utes. ~
But the presence of the stranger, so differen
from whatthey had anticipated, struck thom al
most speechless. His genEeel and manly dc

and easy affabIe manners; his unconcerned an

CHAPTER III.

Sophia told her mother concerning the rattle
snake, and although Mrs. Thompson was very
far from being superStitious woman, yet she
could not but draw some favorable conclusion, in
her own mind, from the circumstances that had
taken place.

seduclon-of enmity-intact the enemyo of man.
kind was called that old serpent, the devil. A
serpent had beed destroyed by stranger, which
probably would have destroyed her daughter
but her daughter would not have been exposed
had it not been for this stranger. 1t was in as
sisting him that she became jeopardlzed-
she might have been srolling that way, and might
have been bitten by the snake, if the stranger
had never appeared. At any rate the facts were
the same-the snake was killed by him, and who
could say it was not a favorable omen.
"Who knows, my daughter" said she, "but
that this stranger is at least the harbinger of some
good news for usl think have seen him be-
fore; and his offering in the first place to pay the
debt and release your father is a strong proof that
he feels more than common sympathy for oul
misfortunes."

glad was to see him drag that ugly fellow ou

the house" said Sophia, "and thought they were
contriving how to way lay him, and am afrait
they will take his life"
"Let us pray for his safety, and for a termina

} and kneeling down with her son and daughte
by her side, the girl read the evening prayers 70

} Book, and at the end her mother made shor
extemporaneous prayer in behalf Of the strange
and as she closed her petitions, Sophia pronounc
, ed "Amen," with such an unusal emphasis, tha
she was somewhat frightened at the echo of he
own voice in so loud sound.
They arose from their humble posture, and &

come out and told their story, thai the lawyer
was the aggressor.
"You will swear him clear then, will youl bu,
remember have the old maninmy clutches, and
will be revenged on him for your conduct"
"Villain," said the stranger, "set the man a,
liberty, instantly, and I'll pay the debt. How
much Is III"
alt was originally only thousand dollars, but
the interest and costs have swelled the amount 10
tweniy-four hundred, which is more money than
you can pay, | fancy, Mr.. r.-, and besides,
you have TO pay me heavy damages for this as
sault, or suffer the penalty Of the law immedi-
ately."
"How much do you demand for your personal
damagesl"
"One hundred dollars
Sand illyou pledge yourself (honor you have
money that you will not prosecute in behalf ofthe
people, if pay you that sum-"
"That cannot promise, as | am not States at.
tomey, but will not complain"
swell, sir, shall not pay you one dollar, and
you may prosecute as soon as you please. As
for Mr.. ThomPson's debt, it is much larger BY
your account, than anticipated, that Twill not pay
you the money at present."
"a very good come off, indeed, and one Of the
best reasons in the world, you cannot pay the mo.
ney as thought at first, but I'll plague you for
your insolence; remember that you said you
would pay Thompson's debt, and now I'll have
you in for it; I'll prosecute you on your prom.
ise."
"Really, sir, you are quite full of your prose.
cutons; but remember that the promises Of o
third person, 10 pay the debt of another, are void
under the statute Of frauds, unless in writing, and
for valuable consideration"
"Why, sir, are you lawyer then? but shall
let you know you are mistaken" Looks rather
confounded.
"Good evening" said the stranger TO the ladies'
and walked towards his horse.
| 81 command assistance" said the lawyer to the
men before mentioned, "seize thai man in the
name of the peope;'
They sprung to seize him, and he laid then
both sprawling in an instant, leaped on his horse
and was out Of sight in a second.
Gwen have him yet" said the lawyer to hi,
half-stunned coad adjutors-"here is five dollars a
piece for you; he only going to the red mills, ant
will be back this way to The village, sometime al
ter dark; go with me and lay in wait for him il
the woods between this and The village"
"We will" answered they, "and Wen have
him yet, but he is terrible strong"
"a keen, arch fellow" said the lawyer; ga
robbcr, no doubG ahighwayman; wonder if hC
has pistols"
81 dare say he has," said one.
"WelI go to the village first" said they, "ant
get some muskets, and get some more help, AM
go in search of him, or way lay him; for he is
robber, no doubt; the people here know nothing
about him."
"As likely as not there is a reward for him nov
in the papers" said the lawyer.
at appears to me | saw an advertisement des
cribing very much such man; but at any ratt
we'll have him fast for the present."
They mounted their horses and rode off to
wards the village. ltnow began to grow dark.

Sad are fair Muskingum's waters,
Sadly, blue Mahoning raves;
TuEcarawas's plains are lonely,
Lonely are HOckhoeking's waves.
From where headlong Cuyahoga
Thunders down its rocky way,
And the pillows Of blue Erie,
Whitens in Sandusky's bayi
Unto where Potomac rushes,
Arrowy from the mountain side,
And Kanawha's gloomy waters,
Mingle with the Ohio's tide.
From the valley Of Scioto,
And the Huron sisters three,
To the foaming Susquehanna,
And the leaping Genesee.
Over hill and plain and valley
Over river, lake and bay
On the water-in the forest,
Ruled and reigned the Seneca.
But sad are fair Muskingum's waters;
Sadly, blue Mahoning raves;
Tuscarawas's plains are lonely,
Lonely are Hockhocking's waves.
BY Kanawha dwells the stranger,
Cuyahoga feels the chain,
Stranger ships vex Erie's pillows,
Strangers plow Sciotos plain.
And the Iroquois have wasted,
From the hill and plain awayi
On the waters-in the valley,
Reigns no more the Seneca.
Only by the Cattaraugas,
Or by Lake Chautauque's side,
Or among the scanty woodlands,
By the Alleghany's tide.
There, in spots, like sad oases,
Lone amid the sandy plains;
There, the Seneca, still wasting,
Amid de5olation reigns. w. J. 8.
