So long as Hind kept to the road his
life was one long comedy. His wit and
address were ineXhaustible, and fortune
never found him at loss. He would
avert suspicion with the tune of a psalm
as when, habited as a pious shepherd
he broke travellers head with his crook
and deprived him of his horse. An early
adventure was to force a pot-vaiant
parson, who had drunk cup too much
at wedding, into a rarely farcical stu
alton. Hind, having robbed two gentle
mems servants of round sum, went
ambling along the road until he en-
countered parsOn. Sir" said he, Il
am closely pursued by robbers. You, |
dare swear, will not stand by and see me
plundered." Before the parson could
protest, he thrust pistol into his hand
and babe him fire it at the first conner,
while he rode off to raise the county.
Meanwhile the riflcd travellers came up
with the parson, who strightway, mis-
taking them for thieves, fired without
effect, and then, riding forward flung
the pistol in the face of the nearest. Thus
the parson of the parish was dragged be-
fore magistrate, while Hind, before his
dupe could furnish an explanation, had
placed many mile between himself
and his s.-Macmillan's Mag
azine.
