youth had clung in her affections, with q
strength beyond all other sympathies.
"Aunt Betsy, did Laura seem much affect
ed yesterday" asked her young master, anx-
ious as all young lovers are, to ascertain even
clandestinely how deeply they are beloved.
Aunt Betsy saw and noted the pardonable
vanity that prompted the question, and, from
the perversity of her nature determined not
to crafty it.
How know go long to steep wild you.
'Spect now you tink she cried he eyes out'n

Spect she thinks more o you, den you serve,

strous smartl"
Thus scolded the good old woman, while
Bartrelle, with an amused smile, listened to
her objurgations, well-knowing that her words
were not meant to wound him. For as we
have said Aunt Betsey fairly worshipped her
young master. Had any one else dared to
blame him, her wrath would have famed out
against the offender, fierce and consuming.
This was her exclusive prerogative, and she
guarded it as jealously as a monarch does his
jewels.
No one else in her presence must see de-
fects of character which her partial eyes can
not discern. To her he was without a rival,
and although, as now, she sometimes scolded
him, it was only paradoxical as it may
appear from the very excess of her love.

CHAPTER XI.

+" The enmity and discord which of late
Sprung from the rancorous outrage of your state
To our free countrymen."
COMEDY OF ERRRos
The events which had marked the 10th ot
May as day memorable in the annals Of
Missouri had passed The battle of Boone.
vile had been fought, and the war slogan OF
the South, penetrating the remotest corners
of the State, had fred almost to madness the
hearts of the people. Already had the
nucleus of an army assembled at Lexington.
and the famous retreat to the border effected
The camp at Cow-Skin was alive with yolun-
teers.
Bands of predatory partizans were FORMING
all over the State, and hung on the outskirts
of the federal army like swarms of locusts.
But who are these partizans? They are the
rangers of the Southern army 1t is to one
of their encampments that we are going to
introduce the reader now.
1t is night, and the blazing campfire reflects
the shine Of arms and accoutrements. War
like forms and bearded faces are seen ON
every hand. Saddles rifles pistols, canteens
and sabres are strewing the ground and hang
ing from the branches of the neiehborino
trees. Horses picketed loom large and grand
in the darkness, dimly outlined from tba
sombre background of the forest.
Groups of men are standing at intervals
over the ground, and others are seated before
the fires, or lying atfull length beneath III
trees. The wild tale is told-the BITING lost
goes round-the love and the battle-sono ia
sung; and then the eager laugh peals out ON
the forest aisles, disturbing the wolf upon his
prowl and the solitary sentinel on his station.
Little care these men who hear or note their
revelry. To them the skirmish and the sobt
is as joyous as the campfire wassail.
But who are these men ? We have said
that they were the rangers of the Southa,n
army, and are what their name imports-a
partisan cavalry. Odd and uncouth look;no
they were. There were over a hundrad of
them, and but for the fact that each of thar,

you could not discover any semblanca of
uniformity between them.
They are differently and grotesquelv clad
Suits of broad-cloth, OF woolen leans of

are seen all around you But who are these
men who compose this singular band? They
are the product of the compliant of Missouri
and Kentucky-the squatters of the great
western slopes of the Alleghanies- pio-
neers of the prairie land-the boatmen Of
the Mississippi, the Arkansas and the Mis-
sour, the voyageurs Of the lake country, the
planters and merchants of the southwest.
Among them you may see the representatives
Of different lands; the German, the English
man, the Scot, the noisy exile of Erin the
Dimble Frenchman; the soldierly Swiss, the
sombre, dark and silent son of Poland.
