He seized it and clambored ont on the
back piazza ready TO pour two loads of shot
into what he supposed were robbers. They
in the meantime had passed back from the
rear of the house to the front gate, and the
man with the gun could not get a sight at
them from the rear veranda, so he went
back through TIE house to the front veran-

gone some fifty feet from the front gate,
and dim burning lantern was discovered
by the excited gunner carried by one of
the men, and he concluded that
