The farm-houses were robbed; the tills of the bars at the way-side inns were robbed: the people had their pockets i-obbed. All this happened in the region of country be tween Sidney and Towstone—not a field of vast extent —and;yet the robber, or rob bers, could not be found. Officers had searched in every direction, and several suspicious-looking individuals had been apprehended; but the real culprit still re mained at large. One day the mail was robbed, and on the next a man had his pocket picked of five hundred pounds, while riding in the stage coach—for my narrative dates back to the old coaching days. The money had been carried in his breast pocket, and he knew it was stolen from him while he was enjoying a bit of dose on the road. 1 had been confined to my house by a severe cold for several days, and was not fit to go out now; but as this matter was becoming so serious, I felt it my duty to be on the move, and accordingly I fortified my throat and breast with warmyfiannel, and set forth. I had no settled plan in my mind, for I had not yet been upon the road, and was not thoroughly “posted up.” A ride of five miles in my own trap brought me to Sidney, and thence 1 meant to take coach to Lowstone, where Sam Stickney, one of the shrewdest of my men, lived. Stickney had already been on the search, and I wished to consult him before making any decided movement. I reach ed Sidney at half-past five in the morning the coach left at six. Lowstone was sixty miles distant, so 1 had a good ride before me. During the early part of the day I rode upon the box with the driver, and from him 1 gained considerable informa tion touching the various robberies that bad been committed. He was forced to admit that Several people had been robbed in his stage, though he declared that he could’nt see into it, for he liad not the most remote idea, even of who the robber could be. We reached Bonnville at noon where we stopped to dine, and when we left this place 1 was the only passenger. At the distance of twelve miles, at a little village called Cawthorn, we stopped to change horses, and here another passenger got up. I had been occupying the forward seat, as that happened to be wider than the others, and gave me a better opportunity for lying down, and when the new-comer en tered he took the back seat. He was a young man, I judged, and not very tali in stature; but so completely bundled up was he in shawls and mufflers, that his size of frame was not easily determined. He was very pale and coughed badly; and I at once mode up my mind that he was far less fit to travel .than I was. After we had got fairly on our way I remarked to him that I had been suffering from a severe cold, and that this was 1 the first time I had ven tured out for quite a number of days. He looked at me out of a pair of dark, bright eyes; and when he seemed to have deter mined what manner of man I was, he said — , ‘I haye something worse than a cold, sir.’ He broke into a fit of coughing which lasted a minute or so and then added : “It won’t be a great while before I shall take my last ride.” : ' “You are a consumptive,” I suggested. ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1862 “Almost gone with it,” he replied.— Again he was seized with a spasm ul cough ing, and when he had recovered from it, he continued—“ The disease is eating me to pieces at the tome lime.” He further informed me that he had started bn a tour for his health, but that he had given it up, and was now on his way home, which he was anxious to reach as soon as possible. Another paroxyism seized him at this point, and he intimated that he was unable to converse as the effort brought on his cough. I had noticed this, and had made up my blind to trouble him no more, even before he gave me the hint. After Ithis he drew his outer shawl more closely about his neck and face, and having secured an easy po&ture, he closed his ej'es, and I was not' long in following his ex ample. Towards the middle of the after noon the coach stopped at a small village, where we changed horses again, and where four passengers got up. This broke up the arrangement of my friend and self for rest, as he had to take one of the strangers upon his seat, while I took another upon mine, the other two occupying the middle seat. The new comers soon broached the subject of the robberies which had been committed in that region, and I listened to gain infor mation if possible: but they knew no more than every one else knew. They had heard all about it, and were inflated with wonder. One—an old farmer —asked me if I knew anything of the robber. I told him I knew but little of the affair in any way, having been sick, and unable to be out among folks. Then he asked my con sumptive friend if he knew anything about it. The latter raised his head from its reclining position, and was on the point of answering, when we heard our driver, in quick abrupt tones, ordering some one to get out of the road. 1 instantly put my head out of the window to see what the trouble was, and my eye was just quick enough to detect a load of faggots in time to dodge back and avoid them. The road was quite narrow at this point, and as the faggots were loaded very widely, it was impossible for the driver wholly to avoid them, and' the side of the coach was swept by them quite smartly. I escaped without being touched, but not so with my friend. I heard an exclamation—l though rather a profane one—from his lips, and on looking towards him I saw that one of the faggots had struck} him over the left eye, making quite a mark upon the pale skin. “These fellows ought to be taken up for loading jtheir faggots out so,” said another of the passengers. “It’ll djo very well to load hay out wide, for that won’t hurt nobody if it does hit ’em; but fgggots are different.” This turned the conversation from the subject ofithe robberies, and it was not alluded fo again during the day. We reached Lbwstone shortly after dark, and; I went at once to the residence of Mr Stickney, whom I found at home He had been out ail day, and had made all sorts of efforts to obtain some clue to the prepetrators of the robberies that were being committed, but without effect. “I can learn nothing,” he saidj “ upon which to hang a suspicion, iwo shops have been robbed in this place, but not a clue can I gain to the perpetrators. They must be old birds. “Have you seen Gamblit ?” I asked,” Gamblit was the officer at Orton, a town twelve miles distant. “Not lately,” replied Stickney. “He has been at work ?” I suggested. “Yes—l am sure of it.” “Then,” said I, “we will go over in the morning fo Orton, and' with. Gamblit in company we may be able to perfect some arrangment for pursuing this investigation to better advantage. This met the view of my host, and so we left the matter for the evening. On the following morning we were up early and as the coach would take ns directly to Gamblit’s house, we choose that mode of conveyance, and repaired at a seasonable hour to the tavern for that purpose/ When we rejacbed the inn we found the old farmer, who had been one of my fellow passengers on the night before, stepping about the doorway in a high state of ex citement. He had been robbed of three hundred pounds, and he was sure it must have been done in the stage-coach, for he had slept with his pocket book under his pillow. He had not thought to look into it when he retired, but he had found it empty that moaning when he had got up. He said the l wallet had been taken from his pocket and put back again—he knew it. As : soon as he saw me he was anxious that ! should be searched. I allowed him to perform the operation, and then I told him who I was, and informed him of my business. “But,’’ said I, “where is the pale con ! sumptive man, who came in with us ?” “He went away last night,” answered the landlord, who stood near; My first aim was to satisfy myself that I the old man had been robbed in the stage coach, and of this he succeeded in con vincing me. After this my suspicions rested upon the consumptive man, and I believed, if I could [INDEPENDENT IN EVEEYTHtNG.] find him, I should find a rogue. Should we go to Orton, or remain where we were ? Stickney said go |to Orton first—get Gamblit—and then make up a programme for action. So I bade the landlord to keep a sharp look-out; and also spoke to the driver who had brought me from Sid ney, and who was how on the point of returning; requesting him, if he saw any thing of the pale man, to see that he was secured. The suspicious individual had only remained at the inn a few minutes on the previous evening, and had then gone away in a gig, which had come for him, but no one could tell what direction he had taken. The coach for Orton soon came to the door, and Stickney and myself took our seats inside, the farmer having determined to remain where he was until he heard something about his money. There were two other passengers inside, and two or three outside, but they were strangers to me. We had gone two or three miles when the driver pulled, up before a small farm house, where a woman and a trunk were waiting by the garden gate. The lady was handed into the coach, and took a seat facing me and as she turned to give the driver some direction concerning her baggage, she threw her veil over her bonnet. She was pretty—very pretty— with rosy cheeks, and sparkling eyes, and teeth like pearls. Her hair hung in glossy brown ringlets over her neck and shoulders, and was a type of beauty in itself. I looked at the rosy cheeks again—and at the pearly teeth—and into her dark lus trous eyes My gaze i was fixed upon the latter point when she caught my glance, and quickly dropped her veil. At first 1 felt a little ashamed at having been caught in so rude an act as that of staring at her so boldly, but as the face was hidden from sight, and I had an opportunity for reflec tion, it struck me that I had seen those features before. Here was a study for me, and I was buried into it at once; Where had I seen that face ? Was it possible that I had ever known that woman—one so lovely — and now forgotten her ? I thought over all the intimate friends of my wife; but she was not to be found there. Then I thought over all the pretty .girls I had known before I was married; but when I had called them all by name I remembered that the girl before me must have been a mere child when I was a single man. It* was annoying—it made me provoked with myself —to think that I could not call of female beauty to mind. 1 whispered to Stickney, and asked him if he had ever seen her before. He said he had not, and joked me for being so curi ious about a pretty face. We stopped at a place called “Turner Mills,” in the edge of Orton, to exchange mails, and here I jumped out to see the postmaster, who was an old friend of mine; and as 1 was returning to the coach, the thought struck me to go and look at foe trunk which had been last put on, and see if any name was on it. ,It was marked with the simple initials —“A. M.” So that was all I gained from that source. As I came to the coach door I approached it from behind, and as 1 cast my eyes up I found that the beauty had her veil raised, and was looking in at the post office, as though anxious for the mail to come, that we might be off. The expression of anxiety detracted somewhat from her beauty, and as I looked upon her now, seeing her face in different light, 1 was struck with a sort of snake like cast; which was perceptible in the whole character of her features. I was upon the point of withdrawing my gaze, lest she should catch me a second time, when a slight motion of her head rolled the curls over her temple, and I saw a faint line something like a vein over her eye. It was a mark—a.livid scratch —where something had struck her. It might have been the stroke of a whip.— But no; I quickly glided behind the coach, and there I reflected. Such a mark as that could be made by a whip but I was sure that mark had hem made by a faggot f When I returned to my seat in the coach tbe'fair passenger’s veil was down again. Could it be possible that my suspi cions were correct, and that chance had thus thrown in my way a solution' of the problem which had vexed my deputies so muchf Yes I was sure of it; and the more I compared the two faces in my mind, the more I saw the resemblance.— Either these cheeks were painted white yes terday. The eyes were the same—the counter the same and that brow, with its tell-tale mark, not to be mistaken. “What’s the matter V asked Stickney. “I feel chilly,” I replied. “ I’m afraid I’ve caught more cold.” “ Never mind. Here we are; a dose ol something warm will help you.” As Stickney spoke, we stMped at the doo.r Of the inn at Orton. Irodriver an nounced that they would stop there fifteen or twenty minutes, ito exchange horses and wait for the maul, and also informed the passengers that they would find plenty of accomodation at the house, if they choose to g:j in. “ Will you . step in, ma’mt” he added to my beauty. She said she would; and be helped her out and conducted her out to a private sit ting room. i| v “Stickney,” skid I, “I’m.going to find out who that woman is.” ‘“Nonsense! ” Said he. “ 1 think I’ve got the scent. t “Eh?” , “ I rode with her yesterday.” j; “With her?”v “It was a hui then!” “She— ”■ Don’t waste time in talking, do you stand here by th"e door, and pop in the mo ment you hear anything to warrant St.” “ I left my deputy in a state of wonder ment, and entered the room. ’ The beauty was sitting by a window, gazing out be tween the blinds.; She started up as 1 en tered, and let her veil foil. “I thought this was a private room sir,” she said. Her voice trembled- and sounded unnatural. ■ “It maybe,” {continued, “but that does not exclude those who have business.' 1 came on purposeto see you,”; There was a momentary sfrtqrgle, and then she appeared as calm as could be. “Wl>atare yon? she asked.: “I am an officer of Bow street,” I re-? plied. “And what do you want with me?” “ I want to know who you are.” “ Stop—one moment,” she! said; and as. she spoke she carried her hand beneath her cloak. It was quietly ; withdrawn, and in it was a pistol, but she had caught a portion of her dress with it and before she could clear it, I had sprang upon her and siezed her by the anus.. ' But it was a hek no longer.; There was more muscle in that slight body than I had bargained for. However, my man, “popped in” the moment he heard the scuffle, and the beau ty was soon secured. The glossy brown tresses fell off during the scuffle, and some of the paint was removed froni the cheeky. As soon as the prisoner was secured •! had his trunk taken off and brought in and upon overhauling its contents we found disguises of all sorts, and quite a sum of money, besides watches and jewerly of much value. I made him assume a prop er male attire, and when he stood forth in propria persona, 1 found that he had not only used red paint for the blushing beauty of to-day, but that he had applied a more cadaverous coloring matter '.for the con sumptive individual of yesterday. As he stood now, a lithe built, intelligent looking youth, of not more than five-ajnd-twenty; but with a cold-blooded expression upon his marble face, ; and an evil; look in his dark eyes. i We carried him back to iLowstone, where we foumd the money of t|te old far mer upon him, besides other money which had been lost by; different individuals. At first he told strange stories of himself, but finally, when be: knew that the worst must eome, he confessed the whole.! He was from London, ami had come into jhe country on purpose to rob. He had two confed erates with hiin, who had helped him from place to place.
