Of country were passed over with amazing rapidity
Objects, that at moment were at great dis

left far behind. Thus we sped forward-thus
seemed to annihilate space altogether We were
endowed with superhuman energies-hurried on by
an impulse, involuntary and irresistible. My com
panion became violent, and appeared to think we
did not travel quick enough. He roe once or
twice from his seat, and attempted to take the rem
nant of the whip from my hand, but resisted, and
prevailed upon him to remain quiet
How long we were occupied in this mad and
daring flight, cannot even conjecture. We reached,
at length, our destination, but, alas had no
sooner done So than the invaluable animal that had
conveyed us thither dropped down dead

journey, in the custody Of two powerful looking
men.

before, nabbed him here"
The mystery soon cleared up. The gentle
man had escaped from a lunatic asylum, and was
both deaf and dumb. The death of his mother, a
few years before, had caused the mental aberra-
ton.
The horrors of the night are impressed as vividy
upon my memory as though they had just occurred.
The expenses of the journey all betrayed, and
