lot 1t had escaped, accompanied by a bOrriC
Ioath, to give her little insight into TIKI
true nature Of his disposition. She trem
bled all over at the storm Of passion which
lgathered on his brow, and for the first time
in her life, actually felt afraid Of him. He
saw what he had done, and dropping hi;
voice to as soft, low tone as he was able,
sought her pardon, in a penitential mood
which she, Of course, was free to grant.
Jenny often visited Julia, and spent long
hours with her. An attachment had gra-
dually sprung up between them, which knit
their hearts closer and closer as each day
passed away. Julia soon found it would
not do to censure Tom Frost for the part
he had taken in becoming the oSaee of
lDumlny's lead, in Jenny's presence. She
discovered at a glance the state of Jenny's
mind towards him, and it shocked and pal
ned her. No one had paid much attention
to what the Widow Spangle had said in
presence q others concerning her PARTIAL
| ty for Frost, because she was forever harp
ing upon something; but when Julia had
perceived it, and became confirmed in hel
belief by little disclosures which Jenny
would, from time to time, inadvertently
make, ii became a source of great pain to
her. But how to remedy it, she could not
tell 1t became a matter of serious deli
baration between her and Rosenburgh how
the girl could be rescued from the fangs of
the serpent. To directly approach Jenny
and warn her Of her danger, would accom-
lplish nothing.
For her lore was deep and sincerej and
nothing they could do, could possibly stir
| it one iota. II was planted firmly as the
hills in her heart. They saw no way left
but forit to pass through the fiery ordeal
which the conviction of Tom must create.
On Rube Hare's return which was day
or two after our last events narrated. Ro-
senburgh Immediately sought an interview,
and learned from him, that Toms story in
relation to CATERS animal having fallen in
hole and borrowing the windIass to aid
in rescuing her, was purely work of fic-
ten, base fabrication, entirely destitute
Iof truth. Hare piled Rosenburgh with
questions as to the object he had in view in
learning the information, but he was not
yet permitted to disclose it. He assured
him that in good time he would learn it
all.
That night Rosenburgh had an inter
view with his friends, and a half-dozen re-
liable men whom he had collected togeth-
er for the purpose, to determine the course
they would pursue. Their deliberations
were protracted far in the night, before a
definite was plan decided upon. Theysepar-
lated with the understanding that allshould
remain profoundly quiet until the following
Saturday, when the effort would be made
to again place in Dummy's hands the range
In question.
As much effort as was possible, without
arousing the suspicious of any person, was
to be made to get as large crowd at the
Light House on the Satu rday in question,
as each were able. One Of the expedients
resorted to to insure large attendance was a
foot race which was got up between two
of the friends Of Dummy, but who were
mot known publicly to be such, to come off
that day at the saloon; and great efforts
made to give notice Of the fact to every
miner for some distance around. 1t had
been decided not to proceed by the slow
and uncertain course Of the law but to re-
| lY upon that natural, innate sense of Justice,
which spontaneously arises in the breast Of
every man who has not by the indulgence
Of his appetites or lusts been transformed
into beasts--to make anappeal to the prin-
ciple Of eternal right which pervades the
intelligent niverse,-and thare leave the
issue. If it failed he would have the
consciousness Of knowing he had done his
duty to suffering humanity.
| During the week intervening nothing Of
any moment, or possessing any peculiar in
terest as touching the development Of our
tale, took place.
Rosenburgh and Tom meanwhile fire.
quently sought the presence Of those who
alone, on earth at that time could afford
them that good food for the mind which it
ardently craved To them the hours flew
by on golden wings, and the time seemed
all too short. OH remorsless time speak
and tell us why you never have, nor never
will roll back your ceasless wheels at young
loves bidding?
Dummy's sickness during the week, had
approached It's crisis, and he was rapidly
mending. This was source Of joy to Jul
lia,and amply rewarded her for. all the sacra-
fees she had made for him. Eagerly she
watched his recovery, and noted with par
ticular care every change, however minute,
while she could preceptibly trace the grad
ual decline of the disease, she could moi
trace the least sign that gave her any
hope that his mental disorder was likewise
passing away. This was a source of great
pain and anxiety to her. His paroxyims
were not so frequent as in the early stages
of the melody, but they were more violent
His mind remained in the same chaotic
state, with now and then brief interval o.
partial sanity, which, small though it was
gave her hope;
Once he recognized her; it was early
one morning when quiet repo8e rested
down upon all the earth, when the OK had
not yet resumed his daily work of cropping
the herb, and man had not gone to his ap-
pointed labor, he awoke from long and
