A few minutes later he was gathering off

Hospitable as this invitation sounded, the
appearance of the two persons who offered it
would scarcely have tempted any traveller to
remain. The landady of the King George (as
the inn was loyalty named), was tall, gaunt,
hard-faced woman, with a small, cunning eye.
The landlord was a short, thick-set, beetle
browed fellow, who seemed never able to look
any one straight in the face.
In spite of this, however, the bright fire and
the appetizing smell of fried bacon and eggs
would have been too much for most men, even
without the patter of the rain against the
windows and the bowling of the wind through
the leatiess trees outside, and the thought of
the long, dark journey homeward across
lonely heath, where the treacherous bog-water
lurked in deep hollows, ready to swallow up
horse and man.
But Farmer Oakley only shook his huge
black pate resolutely, and rose from his chair
Then the landlord, not wishing to let such
a good customer slip through his fingers,
brought forward his strongest argument:

ni1hts agone there was man robbed, and
pretty nigh murdered too, on the road fro

In saying this, the worthy landlord told the
truth for once in his life.

different from what it is now. Then many

forest Where the traveller of the. nineteenth
century glides along a smooth railroad, the
traveller, of the eighteenth pushede his tired
horse through knee-deep mud and binding

highway robbers, whom one now sees only in
old engpavings and the Christmas numbers of
magazines, swarmed upon every road in the
kingdom, and carried on their plundering so
boldly that it was no uncommon thing for a
party of half dozen to be stopped and robbed
by single man.
