Nearly four years have elapsed
since the events just recorded and
during these years many things have
occurred, some of which have had
an important bearing upon the lives
and destinies of certain persons con-
neoted with the annals of the period
all of which have been faithfully
chrenicled in the records thereof.
The village of DEBORAH was no
longer an insignificant hamlet con-
sisting of few score of people iso-
lated from the world, to be approach
ed only by some bridle-path made by
a wandering tribe of Indians in their
goings to. and fro in search of the
wild turkey or the deer with which
the country abounded, or in their
somi-annual passages from north to
south, or conversely. The village
had expanded. 1t had increased its
population, erected many new and
more pretentious buildings of var
ious kinds, laid out new streets, i'm
proved the old ones and taken on ur-
Han airs, among which was its as
sumption OF the title "city"-a con-
ceit which, however, was not peculiar
to Decorah; for, in the west. every
iasignificant village is "city!" till
time, which skaters SO many vain
hopes and brings so many disappoint-
meats. moderates its aspirations and
fcnes down its pretensions.
Among the residents Of the city,
at this period. attracting unusual at
fcation on account of his unsavory
hesitation was our old acquaintance,
Jim Cobb. The apparent penitence
Of young Mr.. Cobb which, at the con-
ciusion of the trial of Jesse Badleigh,
had deeply impressed nearly every
one who had witnessed it, and had
caused them to hope for his reforma-
tioa was, as he afterward elegantly
expressed it to his friend Kinky
Toney-"all in your eye"
James had not repented. His emo
ten was wholly theatrical. When
he cav that the game was up, he
promptly made up his mind to stage
a play upon the feelings OF the court,
and upon all who might be Influenced
by an ELUSIVE show of contrition.
Therefore when the Judge so limo
Gently opened the way by his touch
ing words to the culprit, Jim was
quick to seize upon the opportunity,
and to make the most Of it by an ex-
uberous food of hypocritical tears.
Now, as a matter of fact, when he
left the court room he carried with
him a hatred of Jesse, so bitter and
SO all-consuming, that, had favor
able opportunity presented, he would
have destroyed him with as little
compunction of conscience as he
would have demolished the lair of a
wild beast or crushed the head Of a
serpent. 1t is indeed amazing, that

In the province of this narrative, we
might be tempted to invite Mr.. john
Armstrong to present his views upon
this occult science, so far as it touch

character and conduct of young Mr..
Cobb.
But for the reason given, which
we are sure will have the approval
of Mr.. Armstrong himself as well as
that of the reader, we must omit all
