Twelve years had elapsed, and the disasters men,

the Eaton Register, came weary footman, from
Pennsylvania, leaning on a staff and entered the
house of Mr. Kline. Time and trouble had wrought

though formerly known to his entertainer, he was
not recognized until he had told his name. He

toned buildings! His object had been plunder, but

to Indiana. The penitent then resumed his pill
