'Now lady, I beg you to remember if ever the world should turn against you, that you have true friends in the camp of Capt. Carl, the gypsy.'

'She is very beautiful, Fred, and accomplished, sweet-tempered, and, and ' And what. Lulu?' 'And I do not like to have you find fault, with my sweet governess.' only she has a history,' and the persistent man could not be changed in his opinion. The next day Fred proposed a horse back ride, and when the horses were brought round Viola Hale ap peared in a habit that set off her won drous beauty strangely. Refusing the' offer of Fred to aid her, she laid her hand on the pommel and leaped lightly into the saddle from the ground. 'She's beeu in a circus, I'll wager,' said Fred, in a low tone, as he lifted Lulu to her saddle, and he was more convinceed of this when he saw the perfect manner in which the governess managed the wild horse she rode. Whether Viola Hale realized that the young captain did not exactly like her, it was hard to tell; but she sud denly began to turn her battery of fascination upon him in a manner that threatened to change his mind regarding her. But fortunately his furlough was soon ended; and he de parted for command on the frontier, a happy man, because Lulu Sanford had promised to become his wife when she was a year and a half older; and Col. banford approved the match; for the young officer came of god family and was a brave and dashing fellow, possessed no evil habits, and yet was the richest man in the army. A year passed by, and acrain Cap tain Fred De Lancy was a visitor at Sanford Hill, and delighted at the wonderful progress Lulu had made uuder her beautiful governess. 'Have you picked up any links. Lulu, that connect her with the past?' asked Fred. "For shame, Fred! She is all that is lovely, and I believe that papa is really in love with her; and I assure you I would not object to her for a stepmother.' 'And does she care for your father, Lulu?'. I thought so once; now I believe she only admires and respects him.' 'He has lost heavily of late, he wrote me.' Yes.

She killed him with hiftown poisons, aud came back to me. professing repen tance. Alas! it was from a desire to get her boy; as I still doubted her, she gave me I this very charm to wear around my neck, telling me it would bring back my love for her. 'Accidentally I found a paper one that told me the secret of the death charm and its poison, and I accused her of her treachery, and so great was her assumed grief that I did not make known her intent to kill me to my baud. '.The following day she disappeared and carried the charm with her. Since then 1 have never known what be came of her; but, thank heaveu, I came here to day!' In horror Lulu had listened to the awiui story, ana tnei: sne leu au was true, for it came to her now how her old nurse had said the governess wan ted to marry Fred De Lancy herself; then how she had insisted for love of her the death-charm should be worn day aud night, and from the time she had put it on her health had begun to fail. 'Oh, how could she be so wicked?' cried the girl. lt is her nature, lady. Ah! she is recovering consciousness, and the gypsy chief stepped toward the pros trate woman, and, in his own lan guage, spoke to her sternly. With every nerve quivering, and her black eyes looking wild with ter ror, the woman arose and stood before her master thoroughly conquered. 'Lady: farewell. Please send this woman's things to this address in the city,' and Carl hauded Lulu a card while he contained: 'Keep that death-charm, but take from it that deadlv noison. Keep it as a souveni that Capt. Carl repaid the service you did his son. Then turning to tne guilty, tremb ling woman, he said to her simply: 'Come!' Without a word, and with bowed head, she followed him, and Lulu was left alone in horror aud grief. Tbuu her father fouud her, and from her lips heard the terrible story. He folded his daughter in his arms in a rapture at her escape, while he said: 'I do believe her guilty now.

Aud the next day Lulu felt so much better that she drove to the gypsy encampment with her father; but the wanderers had departed, and arge bear descending from a lofty Sycamore, where he had been in quest, probably of honey. A bear ascends a tree much more expertly , than he descends it being obliged to come down stern foremost. My friend Dobaon did not very well like to be joined in his evening walk by such a companion, and, with out reflecting what he should do with the 'varmint" afterward, he run up to the tree on the opposite side from the' animal's body, and, just before he reached the grouud, seized him firm ly by both his fore paws. Bruin growled and gnashed his 1 tusks, but he soon ascertained that his paws were in the giasp of itaws equally iron-strung with his own. Nor could he use his hinder claws to dis embowel his antagonist, as the man uer of the bear is, inasmuch as the trunk of the tree was between them. uut uoDson s predicament, as he was endowed with rather the most reason, was worse yet. Nor could he venture I i . to let go oi mm, since me presump tion was that Bruin would not make him a very gracious return for thus unceremoniously taking him by the hand. ? The twilight was fast deepening in to darkness, and" his position was far ess comfortable than it otherwise would have been at the same hour. surrounded by his wife ami children at the supper-table, to say nothing of the gloomy prospect for. the night. Still, as Joe Sleeper's house was not far distant, he hojed to be able to call him to his assistance. But his lungs, though none of the weakest, were unequal to the tusk; and although he halloed and bawled the livelong night, making the woods and the welkin ring again, he sue ceeeded no better than did Glendow er of old, in calling spirits from the vast deep. It was a wearisome night for Dob- son; such a game of hold-tast he had never been engaged in before. Bruin, too, was probably worried, although ne couia not aescnoe his sensation in English albeit he took the regular John Bull method of making known his dissatisfaction that is t sny, he growled incessantly But there was no let go in the case, and Dohon was therefore under the necessity of hold ing fast, until it seemed to his clinch ed and aching fingers as though the bear's paws and his own had grown together. As daylight returned, and the smoke from Sleeper's chimney began to curl up gracefully, though rather dimly, in the distauce, Dobson again repeated his cries for succor; and his heart was soon gladdened by the ap pearance of his worthy but inactive neighbor, who had at last been at tracted bv the voice of the imjuitieut sufferer, bearing an axe upon his shoulder. Dobson had never been so j rejoiced at seeing Mr. Sleeper before; albeit, he was a very kind aud esti mable neighbor. 'Why don t you make hate, Mr. Sleeper, and net be lounging along at that rate when you see a fellow-Christian iu such a kettle of fish as thia?' 'I vuui! Is that you. Mr. Dobaou. up a tree there! And was it you I heard hallowing bo last 'night? 1 guess you ought to have your lodging lor nothing, if you've stood up agin the tree all night.' 'It's no joke, though, I can tell you Mr. Joe Sleeper; and if you had hold of the paws of the black vermint all night, it strikes me you'd think you'd paid dear enough for it. But if you heard the calling for help in the night, why didn't you come and see what .a a aa was the trouble: 'Oh, I was just going tired to bed, after laying up long fence all day, and I thought I'd wait till morning. aud come out bright and early. But of his paws here, and I will take the ax, and let a streak of daylight into hi skull about the quickest.' The proposition being a fair one. Mr. Sleeper was too reasonable a man to object. He was no coward, either; and be thereupon stepped up to the tree, and cautiously taking the bear with both his hands, relieved honest Dobson from his predicament. The hands of the' latter, though sadly stiffened by the tenacity with which they had been clinched for so many hours, were soon brandishing the axe, aud be apparentlymade- all preparations for giving the deadly blow and deadly it would have been had he struck, since, like the sous of Zermah, Dobson need to strike but once. But. to the surprise of Sleeper, he did not strike; and, to his urther consternation, Dobson swung the axe upon his shoulder and march ed away whistling as he went, with as much apparent indifference as the other had shown when coming to hit reneL It was now Sleeper's turn to make the forest vocal with his cries. In vain he raved and called and threat ened. Dobson walked on and disap peared, leaving his friend as sad a ' irospect for bis breakfast as himself had had for suppe . Hour after hour passed away, and Sleeper still found himself at bo-peep wun sir Drum, in the course ol the . afternoon, however, wheu Dobson supposed that the lesson he was teach ing had been thoroughly learned by his pupil, and when be thought the latter would willingly forget his re sentment for the sake of succor, the sturdy Yankee returned, and-, by a single blow relieved both bear and man from their troubles in the same inn Unit.
