CHAPTER TX.

There came one day to the Governor female
who demanded private audience of his Excel
lency, and at the interview she obtained permits
sion to visit Ambrose Carey in his room in the
prison. 1t was dusk before she got ready to en-
ter, and the jaier, therefore, doubled the senti-
nels at the door, and closely and rather rudely
examined the lady before she entered. She was
clad in mourning, and deeply yelled but the
jailer insisted seeing her face, 80 that he might
recognise it on her return.
1t was about eleven o'clock when the keeper Of
the prison was again called on to open the door
communicating to the room Of Carey, and when
he did so the sentinels seized the figure that was
coming out, while the jsiler again bolted the
door. The removal Of the veil revealed the fea-
lures Of Ambrose Carey but in an instant the
sentinels We're knocked down, the jsiler gagged,
and the young man seized and carried out. The
transaction was over in minute, and before the
astonisheh soldiers had recovered their senses,
Council Redwood, with band Of resolute friends,
was at his camp on the Mountain high hill
near the town, and with them was Ambrose
Carey.
The affair of his rescue made quite sensation,
and 30 furious was the Governor, that he re-
solved to execute the female who had played him
such trick Early in the morning she was sent
for by his Exceliency, and to disgrace her loaded
with irons and when she presented herself be-
fore him he was surrounded by his officers and
friends, who felt much curiosity concerning this
unknown heroine
Miss, or madam, or whoever you be, lift your
veil, said his Excelency, sternly, "and let us
see the face of the traitress who has played US
such scurvy trick
Your Exceency must forget that my hands
are in irons, answered low, calm, sweet voice
Lift her veil, Mr.. Sheriff" replied the Gov
ernor "What now, Tanning" he continued,
do you recognise the girll BY my soul, she is
pretty why, Tanning, are you mad7 What ails
you, man2p
MAY it please your gracious Excellency,n
whispered Tanning, with tremulous voice, and
checks of an ashen hue, "there is a mystery
about this matter which will privately explain
to your Exoellency. The lady is innocent he
continued, still staring Mt the person spoken of
"She is an unhappy creature, and beg your Ex-
cellency for Gods sake to release her at once y
She was released and it was not long before
she found herself in the presence of Redwood
aud Carey.
The latter, like flaming, was overwhelmed
with the sight joy and fear alternately seizing
him indeed, 1t was painful to witness his emo
tions, and Redwood FASTENED to relieve him
:" am no wizard,n said the Regulator, " and
what you see is not a feshless apparition.
"You saw once an exhalation shoot from its
sphere and become lost in darkness and | told
you then there were fixed stars, and this is one !
Poor Mary White lies in the graveyard at Haw
Fields Church her twin sister, Fredonia, stands
before you
1.-THE girls at q tender age were left without
parents; one was confded to my care, and the
other to that Of Abraham White. The little crea-
lures seemed exactly alike; yet there was diff
ference In their dispositions, and they were differ
emily raised.
