painted red to-day, or. they were painte white yesterday. The eyes were the same the contour the same and that brow witt ) its telling mark not to be mistaken. We stopped at the inn at Orton.
 The driver announced that they woul,
 stop there fifteen or twenty minutes t,
 change horses and wait for the mail, and in
 formed the passengers that they would fnt
 accommodations at the house if they chos,
 to go in.
 l The lady at first did not go in, but d
 length she got out and went into the hotel. l determined HOW to fud out who she was
 --I left my deputy at the door of the room
 room she entered, with instructions to rush
 in in case he should hear anything that war
 ranted his intrusion
 On going into the apartment, found the
 beauty sitting by the window, gazing out
 between the blinds She started up as
 entered, and let her veil fall
 l thought this was private room, sir,' she said. Her voice trembled, aud sounded
 unnatural.
 That may be-" returned, but that does not exclude those who have business. Cdme Io see you.
 There was momentary struggle, and then she appeared as calm as could be.
 What are you?" she asked
 An officer from Bow street," I replied, I want to kuow who you are?" stop-one moment" she said; and as she spoke she carried her hand beneath her cloak: It was quickly withdrawn, and in It pistol, but she had grasped portion of her dress with it, and before she could clear 1t sprung upon her and seized her by the ann, But it was her no longer. There was more muscle in that slight body than bar gained for! However, my man popped in, the moment he heard the scuffle, and the beauty was soon secured The glossy brown ringlets fell off during the scuff1e and some oF the paints was removed from the cheeks.
 As soon as the prisoner was secured, had his trunk taken off and brought in. and upon oyerhauling it's contents, we found dis gulscs Of all sorts, and quite sum of money besides jewelry of much vuae
 made him assume proper male attire, and when he stood forth in propia persona, 1 found that he had not only used red paint for tie blushing beauty today but that he had applied more cadavevous coloring mat ter for the consumptivc individual of yester- day As lie stood now he was lithe-bui!t, l intelligent looking youth of not more than twenty-five; but with cold blooded expres- sion on his face, and all evil look in his eyes
 We carried him back to Lowstone, where we found the money of the old farmer upon him, besides other money which had been lost by different individuals.
 At first lie told strange stories of himself l but when he knew that the worst must come, h, confessed the whole He was from Lon don, and had come into the country on pur pose to rob. He had two confedcratcs with | him, who had heI ped him from place to place One of them had helped him away from the inn on the night before, and the other had CTS gate that same morning
 We made search for these confr,}erutes, !,u: they had got wisd of their principals arrest, and were not to be found
 Howev;r, we got the chief sinner, and had broken up the game.
 After he had been found guilty and sen teuced, he seemed to enjoy hiniself hugely in telling how he Lad deceived the good people of the country Now he would turn himself again in the old woman who had given the driver so much trouble about her bandbox. Then again he would be the mcekl ,wed minister, who had distributed tracts to the passengers, and picked their pockets while they read Then he would draw himself up into the little hunch-backed old man, who had been lifted into and out of the coach and robbed his helpers while they fixed his crutches for him. It was fun ny vcry--and perhaps we might never have caught him had it not have been for the accident of the fagot.
 That was not so funny for him and l douht whether he found much fun in working at our hard stone hammerrg early and late--with an inexcrahle master over to spur him up when he Jagged.
