selling wood fsst and toexcellentadvatiisge.
Though be had only Just commenced in the
business, he had the regular trade of several
boats, and emboldened by his success, hired
a larger force than ever and commenced a
large accumulation of wood. Cut the mem
orable high water of 1845 came, and the
xazoo river inundated her banks.- Lester's
settlement was on a peninsular, formed by

escaped with their lives to the high ground
when: Lester's log-bouse stood, and ne lost
everything, except about five hundred doh
lars, which he hnd in gold In his cash bag.
Paying tbe men off, which took about one
hundred of the amount, they left on a steam
boat which passed up early in the morning,
and Lester, dispirited at his loss, and weak
from a severe attack of fever and ague he
had just recovered from, determined to
leave everything as itawas, and take the first
boat which pts-wd down, to go to Vicks
burg. His clothes, money, and his pistols
be packed in a strong portmanteau, and
hardly had he done so, ere a steamboat I
came insight. The river was swolenand
rushing with a resistless current, filled with
immense Iocs and trees, and ailhoueh Lc
ter wa ved his handkerchief and called out
for her to round to, the boat did not seem
willing to undertake such a dangerous feat

terly, for bis little spot of dry ground was

perate ill-luck. "After awhile he became

in a voice of peculiar mildness, which went

had aroused.' -.''
Lester immediately went outside, and his
fears were relieved at seeing only one man

feature!. The fellow was dressed vary com

"In what year was that?" inquired LesHer.
-In 1887." -
It must be so. Tbeiman who sat oppo
site him, In that littledug-out, upon tho wild
waters of the Vaaoo, was no other than the
cut-throat "Bloody Jack." Lester had mnqy
a time heard from the choppers that this no-
torious man had taken down the largest raft
ever known in 1837, and now he noticed
what had h-rrp escaped his obsorvfttion,
Mwiinun, nnu mat ne was a awau.
Cer, and Lester remembered that he' bail
eard of a scar across the ruffian's nosej a
relio of. one of his most despcrat fight ,V
It was a situatioa which would have un
nerved any man, and Lester's heart throbbed
wildly within.bis breast, though by a pow
trful effort of his mind he continued the
conversation in the same off hand manner.
What could he dof What effort coukl he
make to save himself from the murderer's

rifle-barrel pistols were packed away inthe
bottom of the portmanteau, and the least,
attempt at a struggle would certainly over
turn the light canoe, and ta gwlig'lo shore

impossible. Anxious, however," to discover
his companion's intentions, jie thought cf a

an which he at once rot into execution.
j Feigning drowsiness, he said he was going
to take a nap, and placing the portmanleu
in the bow of the diiz-out, Tie strutted
