ana spent all his money. He had walked
10 Macon in consequence. He said fur
lner that he had never been arrested in his
life before, and begged the officer not to
lock him up. So eloquent did the boyish
tramp plead that the sympathies of both
lhe othcer and the negro were aroused.
The former found piece Of tobacco and
twenty-five cents and gave to him, and
the negro, by diligent search, managed TO
discover lonely nickel that was also de-
posted with him. The tramp was thus
told to move. He was German and his
speech was scarcely ineligible. 1t
proved, however, very effective.

Davis, he assented, and they armed them
selves with pistols concealed, and went
over to the field where Mr.. Davis was
ploughing and acted in such a suspicious
manner that it excited the fears of some
of Davis hands, who told him that
they believed that the two negroes
came over for the purpose of killing him.
After being put on his guard, and seeing
that Davis hands would be against them,

arresting PascO. Peak smelt rat and left.

cleverly by him, and only consented to aid
Peak because he asked him, showing

or harmed him, just because he was asked
to do it by a friend.-The revival in the
