while the bewildered animal is slainng at
the blaze. Boon s companion was to bear
ihe torch, and accordingly appeared on
the field, and commenced the usual round,
had not proceeded far, when Boon gn
the concerted signal lo keep the light
stationary. The horseman obeyed, and
waited in momentary expectation of hear
ing the sharp and fatal report of his friend's
rifle. Not hearing it, however, he turned
his horse to ascertain the cause of the
unwarrantable delay, when he saw his
friend drop his rifle, and set off in psuii
of some shadowy object oyer brush and
briar, fence and field.
When Boon gave ihe signal to his fr nd,
he indeed saw the flame of the torch re
flected by a pair of brilliant eye, and he
immediately cocked his gun, and brought
it to bis eye ; bat instead of standing stu pi
tied, at the snppoved fawn wheeled precip
ately and fled. During this unusual move
ment, Boon caught a glimpse of the f?rfs
ing folds of a petticoat, dropped hit nfle,
and made chase after his game. Sp in
tense had been his interest in thi pur
suit, that be was little less sorpiweJ then
his jew neighbor Mr. Bryan, when he
found himself standing in the doorway,
having driven ihe object of bis chase into
the paternal arms.
Boon's embarrassment and siirprise may
easily be imagined, when he saw tho
consiernation of the father, and the pant
ing terror of his beautiful daughter, who
had scarcely turned her sixteenth sum
mer, and whose lustrous ringlets were fly
ing about her face, neck, and palpitating
bosom, in the richest contrast of light and
shade.
Strange as il may appear of our hardy
backwoodsman, he besme ngituied in his
turn, with all the stern and rugged quali
ties of his nature, he w.is taken captive by
i maiden's charms And what was no
less strange, the blushing Hebe, wltohad
run inta her fathers' arms, declaring that
she was pursued by a panther, now per
ceived that he was not such a frightful
animal as her first impression in ihe dark
had led her to suppose.
Indeed, Boon was at this time jiiBt tn
the first flush of youth ; his person straight
nnd well proportioned, and ihe whole ap
pearance of ihe man presented ucZ a hero
to the eye of the unsophisticated girl, as
her imagination was likely to create fot
itself in that remate and secluded scene
