It's a tnvslery to me where they come frvm, unless it's Jim himself who doeH the stealing. Jim was the hired man, living in a tenement house on the place, but the sijitiie did nut think he would have the temeiity to steul his fruit and damage his pet trees, for he had more than once known to his Burrow what it was to offend his e tiploycr. So he tave an imputient uitt', and bade his son keep his ryes open and catch the real oll'emlcr, adding that ii'hn caught him he was to give him a severe Hogging. it jTsonie ol I lose young miscreants from town thai uru shooting all my sipiirrols, and ihey deserve to be langeil, Hunt he. Late in tho afternoon of this same day, as the heir was walking near the oreliaril, apniii t-ntlv oblivious to every thing but tht! beamy of the distant land scape, his attention was midden iy arrested by a cracking of the limbs near the edge of the or. hard, and with t single biiiiud he was over the fence. and directly tinder the tree wdienee the sound came. Looking up to the branches lie (lis overed hat caused him to hesitate with surprise, and prvhap, .'another ntuncnt. A young girl ol about 16, biack-haired, black eyes sparkling with the excitement of mischief ami tVar combined, sat on n larne limb of the tree, grasping a smaller limb above her head, and evidently enjoying the sipiire's choice fruit to the best of her tbililv. Nio was bare-footed and bare headed, and looked a veritable gvpsy. J. ut W ill liail lieen tohl by his lath er that the thief was to lie summarily lealt with, ana such Idind obedience had the lather exacted of his son that he never once thought there were any exle mating circumstances whicu would excuse him. The supin e's wort! to his son was his law, mid sooner than disobey him hi! would have uu- Icrgoue any frightful ordeul. So, linking tlow ii tho sentiment, the be witching picture lial momentarily aroused 'in his heart, he ordered the olI'oiidiT to descend. .Still deli ant, the picturesque orchard robber slid deftly dow n from her perch, when her captor seized her firmly by ic arm. My father said I was to flog the thief, saitl he. I'm not a thief, and you daro not flog me! And the pretly face llushed with anger.

Will you niMwer me or not? be con tinned ; and then, angered by her (-.cioii'.nt kili'iitx and looks of du'i anee, aidetl Ly tho recollection Of pa rental commands, lie struck uer a ugnt blow across the shoulders. The graceful form quivered ns the switch fell; but it was with pride, not pain, since the stroke could not have hui a fly. The black eyes flashed light ning us bite wic.lud hei'aulf from his grasp, 1 halo you, you mean coward! lio gasped) I'll inake.ou repent that os sure as you live. And a she ran sob bing out into the road, Will felt that ho prophecy had been fulfilled- with the uttering. A year passed. Our young avenger of his father's stolen fruit had joined H party, one bright October morning, for u hunting expedition. They had gone to Cat isliui 1, a lii'ge swampy P . . s .i i . i -r ll Islautl siluatetl near ine ucau oi ueiti lock lake, whidh bordered the Dcrmo dy estate. Now the day's sport was done, and they were returning home. As they nearcd the center of the treacherous .Roanoke WELDON, little bndyof water ft suddon' squall arose, mid striking the sail with full force, before they had time to shift it, their lo.it was upset. Two of the young men were fortu nate to grasp the gunwale of the boat, where they clung, but the remaining three, being separated from it by the force of the fall, and excellent swim mers, struck out boldly for the shore, a distance ol ball a mile. One, two forms imcrged from the waters of the lake and stood in safety on its shore, watching the form of lire third Who seemed to bo suffeiing by some injury received at the upsetting of the boat, and making but slow pm .gress, being still over a quarter of a mile away: Suddenly a cry of horror broke from their lips as ihey saw Will thr. iw up his hands and go down. Stripping ofl' part of their clothing thai their actions might hi! less impe lled, they plunged again into the wa ters of the lake an. I struck out in the direction of their drowning compan ion. At this moment a young girl, a wild-faced, gypsj-hke maiden, lushed fiom a lisherinan's but near the beach, ami, without any ado, plunged also into the water, and commenced the lace with her two malt! rivals for the rescue of the drowning man. Her life had been spout mi the water and in its bosom, and she soon proved her self more than a match for her com petitors. She reached the spot where the young man went down just in time to see a tuft of hair floating on the sur face. Seizing this firmly in her left, hand, she supported the senseless body by nl most superhuman exertions in one so young until the arrival of the two tardy swimmers, and together they bore the drowning man ashore. Will Pcrmody was lying in a weak condition in his bed, recovering from a severe fever which had resulted Irotn his recent mishap; for it was not with out tho greatest exertion on the part of the physicians that he was restored to consciousness and lifo His mother stood by ids bedside and had just finished telling him tho par I iculars of his rescue. It was Mamie Whoelock, a fisher man's daughter, who rescued you at the risk of her life, and thinking you might wish to thank her, said Mrs. Derinody, with a smile, I have sent lor her to come to the house and she is waiting in the sitting room at this moment. Oh, mother, pray do not keep me a moment from thanking this augul nl the wave for saving my woithless life, for , He stopped in surprise as the door opened and he beheld the bright gypsy lace and gracelul form of the girl who stole ti e squire's fruit. Mamie, Mamie ! Can you ever for give me? he negan flushing with the collection and repentance of the epi sodo in the orchard. As his mother stole from the room, the yonnjr girl came quit kly to his side, and, with a face from which all the wildniss and defiance had lied, placed u soft brown hand over his pale lips, and asked him il she did not piouiiso to make him re pent the blow lie struck her. Will kissed the little hand and re luinetl it in his own, am glanced again with deep admiration ut the pretly face of Mamie; but this time he had no command from the squire which fnrhadc the admiral ion. Of course, atler this his recovery was very rapid; and a few days there after he might have been seen with a beautiful gypsy. faceil girl wandering through his father's orchard; lor he had gone to the hut for her, and de manded her assistance in despoiling that choleric old gen.leinaii of his fruit. . The squire must have acquired a more forgiving disposition since we first met him, as the look he cast upon them was decidedly one of approval. As tho time went on, Will and Ma mie, constantly together despitt! their dill'ereiit social status, discovered that they were in love, and so very natu ral' v he asked her to become his wife, to which she responded by a kiss iind a small worlof llireo letters; and the Pcrmotly mansion had for its mistress in alter years a beautiful youiiif wo man who had first been Caught in the act of plundering its orchard.

Then the brute sei.cd tho table-cloth and f it down on the floor, pulling the dishes and everything else oyer Willi hlui, one grsud crash. What did this noble woman do?
