BATHER AN ADVENTURE
KOll AN CNDUUallAIJIJATI'..
"l'or Heaven's sake, tnko mo over!"
So crictl it pulo, panting man to Wil
limn Et'crton, who was sculling easily
down tho reedy river Cam. Egerton
looked up in tho direction of the cry,
anil taw u sight which gave him a shock,
and made him "hold up" his hoat im
mediately. The man who called out so
piteously clambered down tho bank to
thu very edge of tho water, wliero ho
stood with blood pouring from his
none, his faco liko that of a ghost, his
dress tlisordered, his neckerchief awry,
his litit pressed tightly over his head,
his hands clasped Imploringly befnro
him as he repeated tho cry: "Eor
Heaven's Mike, sir, take mo over I Do,
for heaven's bftko put mo across I"
"Why can't you go over tho ferry
askid Egerton discontentedly. "This
iaii't a ferryboat."
"Eor Heaven's sake put mo across!"
lepeated the man, stretching out his
hands as If to catch hold ol Egerlon's
hoat. "Do put mo across tho devils
iiio after me!"
"What devils'.'" asked Egerton.
"Tho bailills the bailiffs 1 O, put mo
across !"
"I doubt whether my bout will hold
both of us," grumbled Egerton. "Here,
fulfil the end of my scull, and pull tho
boat in. Gently, gently, or you'll cap
hizu me."
Eor the man had eagerly seized tho
M'ull, and very nearly up.-et tho bout,
which, though it was not canvas
fovfied, and though It was failed at
Cambridge a tub, was In reality a very
light skiff, such as ninny a mother
would think it dangerous for her dar
ling son to trust himself inalonc. How
ever, tho miserable man was ablo anil
apparently delighted to get into oven so
frail n eraft.
Egerton pushed off very carcfullvyind
Just as ho had dipped his sculls for Iho
Ilrt stroke, ho heard a hoarse, dull.cou
fuifd roaring in tho distance, and tho
wretched passenger cried : "Quicker
imicker; they'ro a-comiug: can't yu
hear'em ?"
Egerton was on tho point of making
an angry rejoinder, for ho didn't nt all
liko tho man's tone; but young men of
twenty f-ympathiso with those whoaro
escaping from tho bailiffs, and ho mere
ly replied coolly : "All right, my friend;
as Boon as I get settled to my work, I'll
take you across liko a shot. I don't
know whether you caru about your
trousers and things but tho blood from
your noso is dropping all over them,"
Thu man only shook his head careless
ly and kept his eyes fl.ved on tho op
posito bank.
Ejcrton gave way with a will, anil as
ho had to aleer for himself, ho was
obliged occasionally to turn his head to
sec whero ho was going. Onoas he faced
about again, and looked towards his
passenger, ho saw tho latter watching a
number of circles lu tho water astern of
tho boat. As tho passenger twisted his
head back to its former position, tho
boat gavo a lurch, and Egerton said
angilly: "You'd better sit still, my
friend; what tho deuco woro you look
ing at V"
"Nothing."
"You wcro looking nt something, I'm
sure, for I taw tho circles lu tho wator
niyM'lf; I suppose u fish jumped,"
"Yes, that wero it, master," said tlio
passenger dreamily ; "a fish Jumped
1 seo it."
lly tills tinio they hail reached tho op
posite bank, for tho Cum is a narrow
river ; uud tho man, having got ashore,
ran up tho steep path which led down
to the liver as fast as his legs would
curry him, without speaking u word or
looking behind him.
"Well," thought Egerton, as ho pull
C'iluviiy,"liiiinlahtlitivesaltt Thank-eo'
at any rato ; but T suppose ho is in too
great u funk to bo civil."
As ho rowed along leisurely towards
tho favorito iiiu on tho river's bank, ho
heard tlio volei-s of his pursuers getting
plainer anil plainer as theycamo nearer
aud nearer, and It bounded in if they
wero shouting "Murder I murder!" Ho
laughed as hu thought of tho dodge the
bailiffs must have used to get a crowd
to assist them lu tho pursuit of n pour
runaway, whoso only crlmu was pro
bably shortness of work, which was lie
eensnrily followed by arrears of rent;
and ho chuckled us ho thought of tlio
start ho must havo helped tlio fugitive
to get; for tho bridge was half a mllo off,
and tho nearest ferry was cloo ot hand i
certiilnly.but had nobody Innttcnilaiu'u, '
as thu young gentlemen at college, who
wero thu chief patronn of tho furrier
AT, SEPTEMBER 3,
weio nearly all of them away for tho
long vacation. Egerton win ono of tho
fewsllll left nt,C'iimbrlbge,whero ho was
supposed to hu reading for his nuxt ex
amination. Hu could now distinctly
hear voices calling upon him to atop,
but hu only quickened his stroke, ami
knuwhofhoiihl bout The Plough almost
ns soon ns any of them could got across
to the towing-path, which was on tho
other p Icle of tho river, mid which Was
by far tho nearest way fur foot-passengers.
At the inn ho would undoubt
edly ili.tl other boats liko ills own, and
who should say in which tlio fugitive
debtor hail been helped across tho riv
er? Heslden, tho bailiffs couldn't do
anything beyond nbusing him, If they
cared or dared to abuse him even If
they knew to whom they owed the
spoiling of tlio case. So ho "spurted"
cheerfully down to The Plough, put up
his boat among several others liko his
own, and sauntered Into tho smoking
room, whero ho rs soon engaged in a
gamo of bagutello with ono of tho many
young gentlemen who wero there, and
who wero supposed, us ho was, to bo
spending their vacation at tho Universi
ty for the purpose of studying ancient
languages or mathematlc-. Ho was not
half through his llrst gamo when there
was heard from tho towing-path n tre
mendous shouting, and a hoarso cry of
"Hoat ! boat!"
Ho rushed out with tho rest,atid stood
on tho lawn whilst a boat went across
to tho towing-path and brought over
about a dozen persons, among whom
there wero two men who evidently
wero in nutbority, for they ordered tho
rest about in a high aud mighty man
ner, and ono of tho two turning to the
lad in charge of tho moored skiffs.asked
with the air of ono who had a right to
ask: "which of theso boats came In last,
pray ?"
Tho boat-keeper without hesitation
pointed to Egerton's.
"And which of you young gentle
men," continued tlio questioner, "row
ed down in this boat?"
Ho was answered by a careless laugh
from tho knot of young men in flannel
garments and straw hats,and by u scorn
ful Inquiry: "What tho dickens hns it
to do with you?"
Thu two men who assumed so much
authority consulted together, in a whis
per, carefully examined Egerton's boat,
and then ouu of thorn having apparent
ly taken tho measure of tho young oars
men, said civilly ; "if you young gen
tlemen will comu with us intoa private
room, I think I can make it plain to
you what the dickens it has to do with
us."
Tho young oarsmen interchanged
lotiks or inquiry; and when Egerton ex
claimed : "Oil ! comu along; let us hear
what they havo to say," a general move
was made towards tho inn; and tho two
men in authority and thu young oars
men lucked themselves in a private
room, everybody elsu being left out
side. Ono of the two men immediately
opened proceedings by saying in a se
vere tono of voice :"This is very serious
business, gentlemen. I hold a warrant
for the apprehension of n nian,antl here
is tho warrant. We tracked tho man;
found out tlio house whero ho has ; nnd
wo had almost reached his hiding place,
when somehow or other he got wind of
it, and bolted towards tho river. Ho
Inula goodlsh start of us though ho did
come down a cropper (and hurt himself,
I should say) jumping n low wall ; but
wo kept him in sight all across thocoin
inon, and wo saw him landed on tho
other side of tho river by somebody in
ono of these skiffs you young gentlemen
use, anil dressed, as far as wo could see,
exactly as you aro dressed. If it was
ono of you, wo depend on you to tell
us which It was."
There was a short silenco, nnd then
ono of tho youngoarsmen asked:"What
had the man been doing?"
"Ho is suspected," nnswercd thu
officer solemnly, "of doing murder."
There was a start and exclamation of
horror amongst tho young oursmon,ntid
all eyes wero turned expectantly to
wards Egerton, who,paloasa sheet.iuid
horroMitrie ken at tho notion of having
aided a murderer, could scarcely find
voice enough tosay : "I put him acros:
ho said thoJjailifrs weio after him,"
"I daresay ho did," remarked tho of
ficers drily "and now you havo thrown
us off the sooiit. I suppose you didn't
f.eo which way ho went?"
"I couldn't," answered Egerton dis
consolately ; "ho was hidden directly by
tho wood ; and when ho got to tho top
of thu cart lane, (hero wero flvo loads
for him to chooso from."
"Exactly," rejoined tlio officer bit
terly. "I knew that ; and tho people
wero knocked up, and my muto and I
couldn't go all llvo ways. You'vo mtido
u pretty mess, young gentleman."
"Is thero nothing I can do V" asked
Egerton nxiously.
".Should you know tlio man again V"
inquired tho olllcer.
"Anywhere and In any disguise, I
think," usketl Egerton, "for I watched
him carefully alt tho time I sat opposite
to him, and I noticed among other
tilings that ho had lost his two front
teeth, ami that ho has an anchor tat
tooed on his left wrist."
"Hid ho throw anything Into tho
river?" asked tho olllcer.
Egerton started, as u sudden recollec
tion Hashed across htm, and ho replied:
"I didn't see him drop anything In thu
river, but I icnifinbcr well that ho
nearly eapslzi'd tho boat by suddenly
turning luund uud back again, and that
alterwaids 1 taw several elides lu thu
water, ti- If u llsh hud jumped, orbomo
thing had been dropped In thorlver.Ho
said a llsh had jumped, but your ques
tion makes me think It vnu not so,"
"Could you point out thu spot?" in
quired tho olllcer.
"Yes," answered Egerton, "within a
yard or so."
"And now, blr," continued tlio of.
fleer, "1 must ask for your iianio und
address."
Unth weio readily given and tuken
down.
Tho two officers then muttering tllbi
contentedly that they had "lost timo
enough already," preparfd to depart.
Egerton went part of tho way with them,
1869.
UOli.
and by earnest entreaty obtained from
tho priiifipiit,HcrgfantGttmH,u promlm
that they would let lilm know from
time lo (lino how they siitri'eded In
llielr search.
Thu river was dragged, under proper
superintendence, nt the spot Indicated
by Egerton, anil amongst ninny strange
articles INhcd up, there wasu life-preserver,
which was taken possesion of
by tho authorities.
Egerton grew so reitlessand Hlecplos
Willi thinking of what hu had done,
that when n week hud elapsed, during
which he had received no satisfactory
Intelligence, lie determined (o set out
for Y , from which seaport Sergeant
Gumps had dateil Ids' last letter. He
went to tho lodgings of tho sergeant,
who was evidently very well pleased to
see him.
"How you, Mr. Egerton?" ex
clalnutl tho sergeant cheerfully. "I am
delighted to seo you, sir; you've comu
in tho nick of time. 1 win Just going
to write to you, to ask you if you could
make it convenient to comu over here.
There's news to tell you sir."
"Well," said Egerton, "come over to
my hotel In half an hour and (Hue with
me, and then you can tell mu all about
it. I'm staying at The Albion."
"I'll bo there, sir, without fail," said
tlio sergeant.
Ho was as good as his word; and
when tlio meats of The Albion had been
removed, and tho wines of The Albion
wero sparkling on tlio tnblo between
him and Egerton, ho unfolded hi tulo
mill emptied his glass at leisure.
"I'll begin at tho beginning sir," ho
said. "Of cour.-o you recollect that
about a month ago thero was a story in
tlio papers about a man that kept a plko
lu Suffolk. Tho man had living with
him his wife, and his wife's mother, an
oltl woman over seventy. Ono even
ing, the man mid his wife, went out to
a merry-making, sonio miles off, leav
ing tho old woman to tnko tho plko
money, nntl open tho gate, and all that.
They'd dono the same thing often
enough before, and no harm came of It
as most of tho peoplo that had went
backwards and forwards on that road
wero friendly with thopiko-kcepor.uud
ids wife and her mother; anil many of
tho foot passengers used to go Into thu
toll-hoii3o,andslt a bit, and havo a talk.
Amongst theso was a tramp called
Jack Andrews. Nobody know any
harm of him; ho was a handy cliap.and
was always tramping about the country
doing odd jobs here and there. Well,
tho very evening tho plkoinun and his
wifo went out to tho merry-making,
Jack Andrews happened to go Into the
toll-house, and heard them talking
about it, und saying they shouldn't be
homo very likely before morning. Well,
they didn't get homo until ono in the
in 'Tiling, and when they got home they
found the door of thu toll-house open,
and when they went in they saw tho
poor old woman dead on the ground,
witii her skull beaten In; and the mon
ey that was ready for the collector, who
was expected ti, call ne.tday,was gone.
It was a tidy sum, and all In coin.
There was an inquest, of course; and it
camo out in ovldenco that Jack An
drews hud known about tho money
and whero It wna put; and a stranger,
who drove through the toll-gate be
tween twelve tit night and one, when
thero win generally little or no traffic
on that road, said tho gate was opened
to him by a man, who, by tho descrip
tion, must havo been Jack Andrews,
though ho ought by that timo to havo
been a good six hours' trampaway from
tho place. Tho verdict was an open
one; you know what that is, sir; "Mur
der against some person or persons un
known." However, 1 gotn warrant for
the apprehension of Jack Andrews."
"I never saw him, and I don't know
anything more of him by sight than
thoglimpso I got as wo chied him (for
I've no doubt, from my Information, it
teas li 1 in ) tlio other day,when you e.imo
and spoiled tho business (uxcuso mu,siri
with your boat. Eront inquiries wo
liavo made, wo'vo every teasuti to be
lieve that thu man you took over in
your boat is now in this town, and
thinks hu is going to sail tho day after
to-morrow for Australia, lint I think
wu shall spoil his littlo game. If you
can swear ho is tho man you put across
tho river, I can swear tlio man you put
across Is tho man wuchuscd; anil I havo
ovldenco to provo that tho man wo
chased is Jack Andrews. Whether ho
committed tlio murder or not, is anoth
er question, l'ho man I speak of goes
every night to a public-housu In this!
town: I keep it well watched, and I've
sufllcicnt force nt band lor all emergen
cies. If you'vo no objection, we'll go
to-night, whero you can seo him with
out being seen yourself."
"I'll go at once, if you like," cried
Egerton, springing up excitedly.
"It ain't timo yet, sir," aid tlio olll
cer, looking coolly at his watch; "it
isn't, nine o'clock yet, und our man sel
dom goes to tho public house buforo ten,
and never leaves It until It elo-es."
.So eolleo and cigars wero enjoyed ;
and alterwards, Egerton mid thu officer
sauntered to The Angler. A nod of un
derstanding was exchanged between
tho olllcer and tho barmaid, and Kger
ton and thu former were admitted with
in tho bur, from which, through a littlo
circular window, they could command
a full view of thu taproom and Us occu
pants. Tho olllcer arranged mattcis so that
ho and Egertnn could, by changing
places, seo itvery part of tho taproom
without being themselves seen; end ho
cautioned Kgertou Mmply tu witch and
observe, and not tu mako any remark
about what ho taw.
1 lo lilinsell narrowly sninned his com
panion's behavior, und amllcd grimly
when ho once saw him half ilse from
bin chair, open his mouth, nntl point
with his finger, and then hlnk down
itgaiu, mid sh.iku his he.ul its If hu had
inado a iiiLtake.
This was enough for Sergeant Gumps,
who proposed Just onoinoroglassofgrog
and then departure.
Egerton agreed, und as lie sippid his
grog, looked over and anon lu a certain
direction. At last ho sprang up, with n
cry upon his lip: ; but thu ot1 or pulled
him down, mid inado blgnalsi'or silence,

Afteru fuweompllmeiits to (he barmaid
.SergeantGumpsfwho had orcmrso.boi'ii
all this time tu plain clothes) suggesled
that It wits time (ogo.Egerlon assented;
nntl as thu two studied Inwards Eger
ton's hotel, tho sergeant uud hn wero
full of questions and answer.
"Wi ll, sir," said the sergeant, "did
you mo anything nr unybmlv in par
ticular?" "Well," answered Egerton. "I saw
an awful lutnrrulllansyiud the worst to
look at was a brute wilh it knobby slick
lu his bund; mid u patch over one eye."
"Ha, ha!" laughed the sergeant;
"that was one of my mutes. Ilo does
mako up beautiful ; but I didn't pen the
man wo wero looking for."
"Aro you suro ?" a-ked the .lergennt
silly. "What made you lunm un. mid
nearly cry out, eh?"
"lU'oiiusn I fancied I did wo him."
answered Egeiton: "but thorn-h I
thought I could swear to tho man's gen
eral look and expression. It eould'nt
havo been hu."
"Why not?" Inquired tho sergeant.
"I rather believe In general expression
myseir."
"Why, thu imin I rowed over thu riv
er was a white-faced man, whereas this
wns as brown as"
"A great ileal can bo done with walnut-Julie,"
interrupted the sergeant
quietly.
"Tlio until 1 rowed over tho river,"
said Egerton, "had long, snake-llko
hair, whereas this man's hair was"
"Thero aro plenty of barbels," Inter
rupted tho sergeant again, "who can cut
and dye, und do all sorts of things to
tho hair."
"The man I rowed over tho river,"
continued Egerton angrily, "had lost
two front teeth, and had an unchor tat
tooed on his left wrist, whereas this had
all the front teeth to show, mid"
A great piece of stlcklnoulastcr on
his left wrist," onco more interrupted
tho sergeant ; "you didn't seo that, -Mr.
Egerton, did you? I did, sir; mid let
mo tell you, 1 havu heard of a dentist
in this town who lately put in two front
teeth for a common looking man."
'I was going to say I couldn't get a
good look at his wrist," said Egerton
pettishly, "but you interrupted me."
"I beg your patdou, blr," lejoined
tin.' sergeant.
"Then you think," saIiI Egerton snap
pishly, "thu man 1 was so much struck
with was the man?"
"Oh, 1 dun't think any tiling about it,
sir," said tho sergeant, "All I want to
know Is, whether you saw anybody
you could swear to as being, or being
very like, tho man you r.iwed over tho
Cam."
Egerton was iiilent for a moment or
two, and then ho said. "It would be a
frightful tiling to take thu wrong man."
"Certainly," assented the s rgeant.
"And to-morrow is tho last chance?"
asked Egerton with vexation.
"You heard him s.iy yourself, sir,''
answered thu sergeant, In a tono of re
monstrance, "that ho would give his
farewell supper to his mates to-morrow
night, mid start tho next morning for
Australia."
Egerton reflected a little, mid then
said, in a determined voice: "Look here,
Sergeant Gumps, I will go into The An
gler to-morrow night, and into tlio tap
room at tho timo this man gives Ids
supper, and I'll warrant I'll find out
whether ho is or is not thu man I row
ed across thu Cam. What do you say
to that?"
"It will bo a dangerous job, sir," an
swered tho sergeant, quietly. "It's a
dangerous set of villains ho Is going to
stand supper to; but ho hits Invited my
mate, who will, of course, bo on your
side, find 1 shall bo lu Hie bar, and
there'll bo several mora of us within
hall; so I think, if you don't mind
walking into tho taproom when sup
per's over, anil grog Is going on, you
might mako things lolerably certain. If
ill's tlio man I think, he'll know you,
and show it, whether you can recognise
111 in or not."
"Very well; I'll bu thero at ten
o'clock," said Egerton; "and you may
depend upon it I'll find out whether it
is our man or not."
Tlio next night, at a littlo before ten,
Egerton walked Into the taproom at
'Jhe Angler. Tho man ho wauled to
sen was there, ladling out punch to flvo
as ugly looking rulllans (including the
polk'o-ollK'ur) as Egerton had over seen.
Thero wero two or three other custom
ers fccattered singly about tho room.
As Egeiton, who had put on his boat
ing clothes, not only tu being best suit
ed to tho place ho was going to visit,
but also as being most likely to lead to
hid early recognition by tlio man hu
had rowed over tha Cam, entered thu
room, ho heard ono of tho puuch drlnk
ers say: "Friends, a toast. I ain't
much of a chap to jaw, so I'll glvo It
short and swoet 'Luck to Hub Jeffreys,
tho giver of tho feast, and may ho havo
u good timo in Australia.' "
Tho (oast was duly honored ; ami as
tho man called Hob Jeffreys prepared to
return thanks, and looked about him in
search of Ideas, ho caught Egerton's
eye, dropped his lower Jaw, and stared
with all his might.
"How am you?" said Egerton, nod
ding in a friendly way. "I think I've
M'i'U you somewhere before."
"Servant, sir," growled Hub Jiffreys,
"though 1 faii't say as I know you."
"P'raps the gentl'man 'II Jiuu us, if
hu'u a friend o' yourn, lloli," bald ono
of thu rtiflluiiH, making room.
Egerton advanced to tho table with
alacrity, mid thu police ofllcor with (he
knobby slick muuagid to Intel po-u
himself between Jt ll'ieys and Egeiton;
at tlie.-aiiiu timo two of the men scat
tered singly about thu loom mi as to bo
between tho punch-drinkers ami thu
door.
"I'm suro you must reeollcit mu;
Mild Egerton, blandly; "didn't I put
you across tho Cam in my boat?"
Hob .Ii flri ys lookid as black as thuiP

ho if plied: "1 don't know nothing
about no Cam, nor no boats, nor noth

"Yes, j on are," growled Hob Jeffn ys.
"And kfing mistaken," coiilli.iiid
Egerton,"! think that Instead of drink
ing your punch, 1 ought to stand it
howl."
All (ho rulllaiishworea frightful oath
that Egerton spoke liken gentleman,
and even Hob Ji ffreys smllul grimly
as be said : "you couldn't sav no fnlrei-.
young eeii'liiian: take a glass o' this
with us, and then you shall stand tho
next bowl."
So Hob JeffreyH returned thanks lu a
brief speech for tho toast that tiad
been propo-etl, and a stcond bowl of
punch was soon produced at Egerton's
expense.
As they were drinking if, Egcrtrn
suddenly asked Jeffreys: "What'ti the
matter with your wrist?"
"What the devil Is that to you ?" wits
tho flercu rejoinder.
"Oh, nothing I" answered Fgerton
quietly; "hut I don't heu why you
shuuld tako offence."
"No offence, sir, no offence," return
ed Jeffreys, softening down, "but I get
riled at everybody's asking mo tlio
same tiling; it's a littlo bit of a wound
I got, It isn't much." And he conceal
ed his left hand under the table.
"I'erlmps you me not awtiro that tlio
plaster Is work tug on"," remarked Eger
ton "I supposed the wound is nearly
healed."
Jeffreys looked at his wrist, glanced
suspicious at Egerton, and then re-arranged
tho plaster, which hud been
worked up by his shirtsleeve, until a
sharp eye could hie tho curved part of
an anchor.
"Yes," he growled in somu confusion;
"it's very near well."
Egerton now said it was time fur him
to go, nodded to the party, and with a
general "good night," sauntered out.
In tho bar hu found Sergeant Gumps,
to whom he whispered: "I can swear to
tho man; ho has twifalso front tec cth,
and there U the anchor on his loft wrist.
Hesidcs, I'veheaul hlsvolce.and watch
ed his face, and 1 can't mako uny mis
take." Sergeant Gumps smiled, and whisper
ing, "Follow me," walked into tliu
taproom, tho door of which was Im
mediately leaned against by tho two
men who had been sitting close by it.
As soon as Hob Jeffreys saw Eg'erfon
return with Sergeant Gumps, hu seem
ed lo liavesomo mNgivliig; aud when
tho latter walke.l up and said : "I'm a
police-sergeant nnd I want you," Jef
freys attempted to leap over the table,
but was dragged down by the man with
tho nobby stick.
"You'ro another of 'cm, I suppose,"
ho muttered, seeing how matters stood.
"Come,lentl a hand here, mates.'
His males wero preparing font rescue,
when Sergeant Gumps remarked calm
ly; "It's a charge of murder;" where
upon they held aloof, mid looked help
lessly at ono another.
Jeffreys now mhilo a tlesperato resis
tance, howled and shrieked, nursed his
mates, mid uttered tho most fearful
threats against Egerton; Sergeant
Gumps soon produc. tl a pair of hand
euffsjiu which, not witJistandlngJeffreys'
piteous allusions to his wound, his
hands woro r.ecured, tho sergeant hav
ing previously taken tho liberty of
tearing off the plaster, nnd exposing to
view no wound worse than a tatooed an
chor of long (standing.
It will easily bo understood hero that
Hob Jeffreys was proved to be no other
than Jack Andrews, in who.-o chest was
found a suit of clothes, some of which
were stained with blood. Egerton could
and did statu in evidence, that tlio
clothes, which wiru pioved to havo
been those worn by Jack Andrews
when ho was rowed across tho Cam by
Egerton, wero considerably htained
with blood from tho wearei's own nose.
However, thu life preserver which waa
fished up from tho river wassworn tons
being exactly liko onu which Jack An
drews was in tho litiblt of carrying be
foro tho murder, and which hu was,
never known to Imvo in his possession,
after ho hud been rowed by Egerton
across tho Cum; and tho life-preserver
was just tho sort of Instrument lo in
dict tho injuries from which tlio old
woman at the piko died. Moreover, u
man who could not wi 11 have been any.
bod.r except Jack Andrews, bad opened
tho turnpike gtito tit tlio very moment
that tho old woman must linvo becu
breathing her last: and, after thu mur
der, Jack Andrews had nppeared to bo
accountably familiar with cash 3 ho
had before been accountably unfamiliai,
In fact.twoand two wero puttogetherby
legal gentleman in so convenient a man
ner, that a Jury returned u verdict of
wilful murder against Jack Andiews;
and Jack Audruws was hanged by tho
neck until ho was dead. And Egerton,
both In court mid In tho newspapers, re
ceived a bevero reprimand for having
very nearly enabled a criminal to en
cape from Justice; and young gentlemen
were warned lo take to heart his ex
ample, and, If (hey would not assist, lo
at any rato abstain from obstructing tho
law, even when IJs olllcers wero be
lieved to appear in tho unpopular form
of bailiffs.
