"They may have been disguised. Who

"Don't know, unless il is his bunky.

"Who is the other?" asked Mrs.

"No no not by jug-full! Not if
they're in Bear Gap or in California, !"
was shouted on all sides. "Let's track
them home-hunt them down. Who's

The widest excitement prevailed.
Shortly after sunrise committee of
six started for Bear Gap, and at midday
they returned with two prisoners, whom
they brought face to face with Mrs.
Wilder. She knew them in a moment,
and they sank down upon the ground,
half dead with remorse and terror, as
they recognized her.

"Iknowyou -Mallity-you killed

Her voice was raised almost to a
scream, and she waved her right hand
in an excited way, as if invoking the
vengeance of Heaven.
Yes, the Vision from the Plains-the
ghost of the murdered man that had
come from the mountains, and carried
the dreaming widow back to the Platte

Disguised as Indians, the two villains,
Sears and Mallity, the murderers of
Abram Wilder, had been robbing the

Before sunset that evening they con-

Wilder-and the gathering shadows of
night frowned on two silent figures that
were dangling hideously from the
boughs of tall tree.
Mrs. Wilder was avenged!

Unaccountable Phenomena at a Party.

UnaccOuntable Phenomena at Party.
The following story is told Of a young
lady and a gentleman at fashionable
party in Nashville: The young man
was handsome and happy, the young
lady arrayed in lavender, rose, &c,
with gold-powdered hair flowing over
her swanlike neck. Finding the heat
of the room too much for them, they
sought the cool shade of an arbor where
they might listen to the fountains fall.
The music rose and fell, time flew on
silver pinions, and after an absence of at
least an hour, our young friends re.
entered the brilliantly Illuminated
parlors. The lady passed on in the
dance, but the young man was slightly
taken aback by his next neighbor in.
forming him that round his neck was
the unmistakable print of two arms in
chalk and diamond dust, on ode shout
der large pile of yellow powder, and
on his upper lip and cheek diamond
dust, bloom Of youth, and yellow
powder mixed up generally. The
lady's hair was observed to be several
shades paler.

scratched his head in an intellectual
way, opened his eyes too wide, and ut.

"What now, Tirrell? What's up p

if he was not quite sure about it.
"Are you sure? Don't speak rashly,
Tirrell."
He scrutinized it more closely, and
then said,

that very knife two weeks ago, and re-
turned it to its owner"
A pause ensued. The miners looked
at each other moment, as if hesitating
to ask the momentous question.
At last Tom Cook asked it:
"Who?"
IA man at Bear Gap. But, mind, /
don't say he's been here at any bad
tricks. His name's-Mallity."
"Whati" exclaimed Mrs. Wilder,
starting as though she had trodden upon
a serpent; "Mallity? Where-where is
he p"
"At Bear Gap"
"Do you know him, ma'am?" asked
Tom Cook.
"Hc is one of the very men told you
of last evening, Mr.. Cook-one that l
always thought murdered my husband

demnation."
Thereupon she briefly related her
story to Tirrell and others, who had not
heard it before.
"Can it lie that this man has been
