strange footsteps all more or less tainted With the

rled on his back the venison. The deer had been
bled when killed, and when she was stolen her
throat was tied up with handkeTchiefs to prevent
the dress Of the man who carried her from being
stained. The check at the railway arose from the
fact that that spot the man laid the deer down,
while he walked to three plateayerS to offer them

the American Revolution. Suddenly he remark

will never be known. Nobody now alive knows il
but John Adams and myseE' Surprised at such
declaration, asked him to what he referred He
briefly replied, The proceedings of the old Con-

answered, Those against Washington; from first
