Eearly next morning, Da7a Campbell.
mounted on strong, swift horse, &C
companied by Fling, started for the Low
lands.
Two weeks had passed. but no trace Of
the mysterious disappearance OF the
drover who had travelled along the route
to Falklrk and the honest, noble char
acter of Wallace Campbell having gain
ed him many friends, the brother was

I'm anxious to hear his deponement
before a magistrate, that's "a" Dana
would cautiously reply.
Another week had passed, and still no
traces of the peddler.
"He naun haze fed the country"
thought Dana ''But Our pilgrimage is
not yet enid !, Fling Let US go on, my
man.

Indeed,is was to the peddler that country

were all more or less known to each other
by reputation Dana lad got as far south
as Cumberland in England.
"Cuthbert, did ye say ?'' replied one Of
the tram ping fraternity of whom Dana
had made irquiry respecting the object Of
his search. ''Ou. ave, I've heard O.

But, without answering the man, Dana
put spurs to his horse, and pursued his
| journey with increased haste. Fling seem
to catch an inkling Of the information
just impaired to his companion. He
bounded on in advance. his ears pricked
forward, and the hair of his tail, neck and
back stihy bristling. Putting his horse
to his utmost, few days more saw Dana
within an hours ride, of his victim. At
the outskirts Of the village of Frameholt,
he met laborer, Of whom inquired
about Cuthbert
You'll find i'm oop there t. village
he replied.
Mufiing his face with his plaid, Dana
rode up to the inn, and giving his
horse in charge Of the ostler, he called
! for the landlord.
Il want to see a magistrate" said
the Highlander. He was informed where
one could be found.
''Come Fling, stick close by me,' said
Dana. "If you should get yir e'e ON
him afore did, lit might breed mischief"
In an hour after the arrival Of the pur-
| surers, Cuthbert, the whi!om packman
was prisoner in charge Of constable;
and that same evening found him in the
county goal, charged with the crime of
murder.
In due time the prisoner was tried
The proof, however, was found INSULT
eient to convict him. A large sum of
gold was found in his possession. but that,
it was argued, he might have earned by
his business. The fact Of his having
sept at the house of Dana the night
before the disappcaranc of the drover
however much it might breed susl icon,
was no evidence against him. The story
Of the dog was only wondered at. The
prisoner was discharged.
But justice stood at the door Of the
court ready to receive him.
No sooner had he entered the outer
hall leading to the street, than Fingal,
with savage howl Of revenge, sprang to
his throat, and, locking his strong jaws,
which enclosed the chapman's windpipe,
he hung 10 him till they fell together
His clinched fangs defed all expedients
to open them. Growing and Juggling
like famished tiger, insensible alike to
the blows and kicks of the bystanders, he
kept his grip till his victim lay motion
| less corpse.
A surgeon was called but the fangs
of the colly had done their worst. The
pe9dler recovered consciousness only long
enough to confess his guilt
