Aa oa my bairn, at but.
of half an hour I wag clear of the village.
At a abort distance ahead lay a large '.ract
of forest, mostly of great pines. The road
led directly through ihii wood, and as near
I could remember, the distance was about
twelve miles. Ye( the moon was in the
east, and the road ran nearly west; I should
have light enough. I had entered the wood
and had gone abtnt half a mile, when my
wagon wheels settled, with bump and jerk,
into a deep hole. I uttered an exclamation
of astonishment, but that was not all. I
heard another exclamation and from an
other source.
" What could it bo ? 1 looked quickly
around, but could see nothing. Vet 1 knew
the sound 1 heard was close to me. As,
the hind wheels came up I heard something
tumble from one aide to the other of my
wagon, and 1 could also feel the jar occa-
tioned by the movement. It wus simply .
a man in my cart i i
there, for the top of my cart i framed in
with dovetails, and each sleeper boiled to
th post with iron bolts. I had it made
so I could carry heavy loads there. By and
by,afler nil else had failed, the scamp com
menced tQ holltr whoa to the horse, and
kept it up until he was hoarse. All this
tiino I kept perfectly quiet, holding the reins
tiriniy, ani kept poUing the beast with the
wWp-stock.
f We wasn't an hour in going that dozeh
nijes not a bit of it. I hadn't much fear
perhaps I might tell the truth and say I
bnp none, for I bad a good pistol, and more
thin that my passenger was safe; yet I did
fcdl glad when I came to the old flour-bar-relfociory,
that stands at the e lge of Jack
Roiville, and in ten mii.utes more I hauled
upin front of the tavern, and found n couple

THE IHWELCOIE P.USEVCEI.
A cold winter's night found a stage load
of us gathered about a warm fire of a tav
ern bar-room in a New England village.
Shortly alter we arrived, a peddler drove
up, and ordered that his horse should be
stabled for the night, After we had eaten
supper we repaired to the bar-room, and
aa soon as the ice was broken the conver
sation flowed freely. Several anecdotes
had been related, and Anally the peddler
was asked to give u a story, as men of his
profession were generally full of adven
ture and anecdote He was a short, thick-

nose of on my way home- The moon would
rise about midnight, and I knew if it did not
rain I could get along very comfortably
through the mud after that. So I asked the
landlord if he would not see that my horse
was fed about midnight, as I wished to be
olTbefore two. He expressed some surprise
at this, and asked me why J did not stop
for breakfast. I told him that I had sold
my last load all out, and that a new lot of
goods was waiting for me at Jackson, and
I wanted to be there for them before the ex
press agent left in the morning. There was
a number of people sitting around while
1 told thia, but 1 took but little notice of
them: one man onlv arrested mv attention.
I had in my possession a small package of
placards, which I was to deliver to the sher
iff at Jackson, and they were" notices for
the detection of a notorious robber named
Dick Hardhead.. The bill gave a descrip
tion of his person, and the man before me
answered very well to it. In fact it was
perfect. He was a tall, well-formed man,
rather slight in frame, and pad the appear
ance of a gentleman, aave that hia face
bore those hard, cruel marks vyfyich an ob
serving man cannot mistake for anything
but the index to a villainous disposition.
" When I iyent up to my .chamber, I asked
the landlord who that man was, describing
the suspicious individual. He said he did
not know him. He haJ come there f hat
afternoon, and intended to leave the next
day. The host asked me why I yished to
know, and I simply told him tha man coun
tenance was familiar, and I merely wished
to know if I was ever acquainted with him.
I resolved not to let the' landlord into' the
yecret but )o hurry on to Jackson, and there,
perhaps, give information to the sheriff,
and perhaps he might reach the inn before
the villian left, for i liad no doubt with re
gard to hia identity.
" I had an alarm yatch, and Haying set
it to give alarm at one o'clock, I went to
sleep 1 was aroused al the proper time
and immediately got up and dressed my
self. When 1 reached the yard, I found
the clouds had all passed away, and the
tjjoon was shifting brightly. The hostler
was easily, aroused, and by two jo'clock
I was on the 'road. The mud ' was deep
and my horse could not travel fait, vet it
f trupk me the beast made more work than
there wiis any need of, for tha cart was en
tirely empty. ; ' t .
