“Tou are right! We bave him in our fingers completely, if ever George gots ready to expose him,..By the way, I wonder where he stays all the tims, it exnnot be very far off.” ‘Was not long before they were mounted-on their borer, and galloping at a swift pace toward the meeting place, where they found George had superseded them, alighting and tending their steeds to the usual ambush, they retired beneath the tree, “Well, Horey, my affairs are a’most to « have you any news ?” “Tes, Goorge, steftling news; an aver hed tnformed of the fun-away slave, chek maid he, whea he hed concluded, 1] “T know of but oe, whom I think would com- | wo of pleasure at his discomf- ion bad croveed his mind that the air of yorterday was well known to the elilain before him, however he smothered his feelings, and saluted hirs with : + You are ill, Bredford.” $ “Tis over now,” said the other, returning his @tires. “Only « little faintness, all gone now,) By the way, Harry, have you found that nigger yet?” ‘There was doop moaning in the question, for Bradford hed a point to ascertaia. “No, we hove not found him yet, suppose we shall have to lot him go, I have not beard any- thing of him.” Bradford began to fori ess'er. “Harry, how ts it I never see you with your Spparstus any more? I hardly ever met Jou, sometine sives, bat what you were bound for Green Brook.” He watched the otters countenance narrowly-ss he made (he remark, “Well, my time bas boon cecapied with more important matters lavely; but you were also fond of the sport, Nele.r; and, by the way, did you ever encoun'er any makes up there ?” Harry's question asked apparently with nofurther referecce than the simple fact of the Teptiles mentioned, but douhly versed in decep- tion es Bradf ta was, he could not restrain the flash that passed over his fece, probably at the knowledge tha: there were some human serpents, more dengerous, more deacly, even, than’ the hooded cobra; rather doubtfully he replied— “Well no—did you?” “Yes, L hare; only the last time I was there, Imet with one of the largest, most vicious I over sew.” {There was such unconcern in Harry's manner, that Nelson allowed his fears to subside, * I should; it was dangerous to go there," “It is © beautiful spot,” returned Harry, ‘to be inbablied by such polsonc us reptiles.” “I agree with you.” “It ts not the plessantest spots that are ‘gst free from hazard—those serpents oven find thelr way lato the village!" ~ Agsia Bradford plerctogly regerded the spoak- et, but he cou'd learn nothing from the firm, though plea: ant face of Horry. “Bh!” in a pecullar tone, and, pleading bu- siness, be hurried on, while Cranliffe bent his steps towards Rore Villa, to pay his devoirs to Xizgipis. - Neleon '@ cone versation; the non-return of the black filed bim wih alarm; he had thought he hed him #0 completely in his power, that it was impossible for him to fall In performing bis Tf the villain hed known the reat affairs his consternation would have nded ; but he was not to evcape the just punishment of his roguery—a storm was gathering over hs head, which must sooner or later shed its fury upon him, But he ‘was not without @ secret foar that something had gone wrong; the visits of the spectre were # continual source of terror and annoyance to him, and be determined, afcer deliberation, that should a: ything happen threatening to himself, he would secretly decamp from the scene of his villainy, He felt no remorse—such feelings wore ort'rely alien to bis heart; but, deep in its recesses lurked the desire for pleasure and gold, Some hours later, he sea od himsolf at a small table in his room, and leaning his head upon bis hand, be remai: ed for soine time fa a profound reverie; when he azuin raised b's face, a smile of satisfaction rested uyon his lipa, and slowly rising, be went to the cabinet, and from one of the drawers obtained pen, ink, and paper, and placing them vpon the table, seated himself be- fore thom, ard prepated to use them ; he wrote without intermission, for about “haf an hour,” when he paused, and laying down the pen ran over, in a low tone, what be had indi‘ed, “That will do,” be muttered, when he conclud- edit; “now it must be copied, I have several of ber notes in my possession; I will try my ekill at forging her styte.”” Again he arose, and thie time produced a small bandle of papers tied with a bine ribbon, Opening them, be selected one, a small neat lotter, and after looking at it for a few moments exclaimed ; “Nothing can be easier than for me to coun- torpart her writing, ber sigoaure is « very plain, delicate, round hand, first I'll practice ft little,” and he began writing on # small slip of paper which lay near. “Julia Cranliffe. There that will do, it is ex- actly like it, Mow for witnesses~I can annex most any names, strange to parties around here, and the articles cannot be disputed, Ha! » fertile brain can always devise some plan to aid Kteclf. I'll set immediately about copying the document.” Again be was silent, and his pon flow rapidly over the sheet, ever and anon he would compare what he had written with the open note, The last stroke was msde, and jumping up from his teat, be rubbed his hands gleefally together, saying : “The game is now in my hands, No omp would doubt her writing this, I never was ‘more sucoesaful in anythicg., And now, my lady Julia, we will give you your first dose, as soon as opportunity offers ; li't's by little does the work, Hurra!” CHAPTES XII.

Do you know, Harry, ever sitce you told me of that rarrow escape from being murdered, 1 have olt rathor shy about you'r golng out alone? Lucifer! what if the villian shou'd make sure work next time? I can't get oper that note—1id you ever see the handwriting before? 1 know you have whis- poted a suspicion“about that villian Bradford, but we might be mistaken; it ceoms almost im- possible for man to bécome so vielous # wretch. tit the deed.” “And that is?" ‘Selson Bradford | ' “hight, Harry, none other than that deeply dyed villian, cou'd have attempted it.” "Twas oaty work now,” exclaimed the Col- onel, “to make the poor slave, his tool, for we are assured the negro was Pompey.” ‘He dared not do it himself for fear of deiec- tion,” rejoined George, ‘so he douvtless played pon the black, promising to aid in his eventual escape, should he conform to his will.” “By St. Angelo!" “That's a Mexican oath, Colonel !" “Ha, ba, Harry, that's 00,” laughed he; “but aa I was going to say, I have seen villiens, decaltful, skulking, venomous ones, but he ts | worse than all!” And according to habit, the Colonel picked up a stone lying at his fee’, and threw it up Into the tree. It was a favorite amusement, and he could not resist it; considerable rastie the stone des- cended again, but with it came a dark looking object, which, striking the ground, bounded directly in front of them; the Colonel tcok it up, and giving @ prolonged whistle, exclaimed: — “§t. Dacre! a knee!’ And be turned to his companions, « ‘a knife!" ropeated Harry, “It fol from the tree, you are surely mis‘aken. “Bee for yourself, my boy,” and he placed It into his outstretched hend. By my faith, it A singular place for such @ thing to come from, eh George *” “Yes, kalved don't grow on trees,” sald the Colonel, meaningly. Goorge Crasliffe took the article from his brother's hand and found they wore right, “ Thave a mateh in my pocket ; I’ and take a better view of is.” Bo saying, he struck the match egeinst « stone, and holding the knife toward It, dioovered that the blede ‘was covered with a derk crust ; he looked at it for some moments in silence, and throwing down the expiring glimmer, spoke in low, deep tones, eS tJ FOR 8SALE—280 ACRES OF HEAVILY w LY er ROOFS CURED.
