Almost constant confinement in this narroN
cell cramped Mr.. Warner, and It became quite
painful for him to sit, or stand erect, after
several hours imprisonment. To remedy this
Michael set to %oak once more to develop his
Ingenuity for another place of intombment A
\ brick cellar was prepared which would afford
protection from the shells as well as the Re-
bel scout. Into this Kew bastile Mr.. Warner
and his little daughter were led by their Two
faithful custodians, Mrs. Combeh was relieved
Of all suspicion by her sex, and Upon her de-
volved the duty of preparing the food for her
precious captives. No little shrewdness was
required to perform this duty in order TO cs-
cape detection, for often Mt meal hoafs tho
Rsbel spies would suddenly present them
selves day after day, expecting to ascertain
by close scrutiny how many meals wers pre-
pared. Woman's artfal cunning proved too
much for mans curiosity, and as the thyme

Several searches were made in Mr.. War
ner's house, but Michael and his wife render
ing their ualuaJle assistance the Investigations
failed to accomplish much, beyond pretty good
proof that Mr.. Warner was not at his home.
The many visits of these desperadoes, induced
Michael to hide all Mrs. Warmers valuables,.
which he did by removing several bricks from
the cellar, and placing in glass jar watch,
some gold and silver specie, jewelry belonging
to the late Mrs. Warner, who died in 1860,
together with aquantity of table silver. These
were hid beyond the reach of these plunderefs,
and it will Shortly be seen that this foresight
was Providential, for the bandits We're ram
sacking the house few days after the valua-
bles were concealed, helping themselves t,
whatever they pleased.

house; waiting to receive the remains of Mr.
Warner and his daaghter, to convey them to
the city cemetery, gahg Of GSn.- Pat. Gle

began an indiscriminhte plunder. The mind
naturally rcvolts at the bare thought of sGcR

a cord of pity with such stony hearts, and in
spite Of all pitiablc pleadings Of Mr.. FRFn:
