of the pistol reached their ears, they rush
ed to the kitchen, from whence it proceed
ed, and saw their leader lying dead upon
the floor, and Anna upon the point of de-
sccnding the cellar steps. One of them
took his pistol and taking deliberate aim,
he fired, but fortunately for Anna, just as
the villain fired, the steps whereon she was
standing, broke, and the bullet whistled
over her head.
Seeing her fall, both robbers deemed
that the bullet had done the work upon
which it was sent, and stepped up to the
door to see if she was quite dead or not,
when seizing her other pistol she fired, and
one of them stretched himself out in the
agonies of death.
The remaining one drew his pistol from
his bosom and snapped, but it missed fire.
Anna now crept back into the cellar out
of his sight, and he retired from the door,
lest he should share the fate of his COM
panions.
The robber had the advantage of Anna,
inasmuch as he was on the outside, while
she was safely penncd up. After trying
various devices to get her to come out of
her hiding place, he threatened to burn
the house over her head if she did not
| come out.
Her condition was now truly deplorible.
She was at the mercy of despicable rob-
ber, who was bent on revenging the death
of his comrades, and she resolved to per-
ish in the flames, rather than submit her
self to him, she therefore did not reply to
his threat.
Her babe was screaming with alright,
and she began fondling him with all
mothers tenderness, expecting soon to SEQ
the flames burst above their heads and
that they should soon perish together.
While thus sitting fondling her babe,
she was startled by the report of rife,
and the sound of something falling heavily
to the floor above her head, and the next
moment she heard Harry calling her. He
had already returned, and heard the threat
of the rebel, when well aimed bullet from
his rifle sent him to his eternal home.
BY some strange Intervention of Provi-
l dcnce, Harry had returned from the set
tlemont by a different route from tha.
!, usually taken, and had thus missed the
i. company which Miller had sent to capture
him.
