Entrapping a Murderer
A SPECULATOR'S STORY
In the year 1833 I went to the Red
river country with a view of specula
tion in horses, lands, or anything that
might give promise of a profitable, re
turn for a cash investment. Of course
I carried a great deal of money with
me, but knowing I was going among
a wild, lawless class, of every grado
and color—among half-civilized Indi
ans, negroes, gamblers, thieves, rob
bers, murderers and assassins, with
Perhaps a few satlers,of some claims
to honor and honesty, if they could be
sifted out from the mass—l thought
it the safest plan not to seem well off
in the world's goods. , Accordingly I
secured my money in a belt about my
body, put on a very coarse, rough
dress, which, by intentional careless
ness, soon had a very mean, slovenly
appearance, and allowed:my hair and
beard to manage matters their .own
way, without any troublesome inter
ference of razor or comb. Thus 'pre.
pared, and armed with two revolvers
and a boWie knife, I passed over some
dangerous territory in comparative
safety, and flattered myself that none
guessed my riches through my appa
rent poverty.
In fact, on two occasions, I began to
think it might have been to my ad
vantage to have looked a little more
respectable. The first of these was
when traveling through the Choctaw
nation, I found -a drove of horses that
pleased me very much, and was, told
by owner, in reply to my question
as to what he would take a head for
the entire lot, that hp was not in the
habit of naming his price. to every
wandering beggar that chose to satisfy
an idle curiosity. I was disposed at
first to put on some dignity and get
indignant, but concluded, after a care
ful surverof_iny person, that tho man
had good cause for speaking as ho did,
and so inerelYassnred him that I knew
an individual who wished. tolinYlier7
actriftitre,W"dttittlreTtraili - fair price.
The horse owner, however,. Was not
disposed to believe my statement, and
so I passed him by, with the resOlve
that, if nothing bettor turned up, I
would give him another call, under a
more' advantageous appearance. As
the second instance alluded to was sim
ilar to the first, it may be passed over
without further notice.
But out of this same cause greiv a
more remarkable adventure, which it
is my present purpose to relate.
While passing between two settle
ments, over a lonely, gloomy horse
path, leading through a dark, hemlock
wood, and while in the most solitary
part, there, suddenlY came before me,
leaping from a thicket on the right, a
human figure of a most startling ap
pearance. It was a man of medium
height, but of a stout, powerful frame,
all covered With dirty tatters, that he'
appeared to have worn and Wallowed
in for years. He had no covering for
his head or feet, and his skin was so
coated with grime that it was difficult
at a first look to tell whether ho be
longed to the white race or not. His
face, high up on his cheeks, was cover
ed with a dirty brown beard, and his
matted hair hung in wild profusion all
around his head, except a little space
before his sWoller., bloodshot oyes ;
and altogether ho looked like a mad
man or IMman devil. His hands held
and swung a formidable club, and his
attitude, as he leaped into the road be
fore me, was one of fierce menace and
defiance.
I stopped in alarm, and, while fixing
my eyes sharply upon his, quietly slid
my band into a convenient pocket and
grasped the butt of one of my revolv
ers, firmly determined to keep him at
the short distance that divided us, or
kill him if ho advanced. ..
For perhaps a half a minute we
stood silently regarding and surveying
each other, and then, resting ono end
of his club on the ground, and partly
leaning forward on the other, he said,
in a coarse, gruff tone, with a kind of
chtickling laugh
"Well, -- me ! I's in hopes I'd
gOt a prize at last; but if you're much
better off nor me, you don't show it,
by —! Stranger,.who ar' you? and
wbar ar' you from ?" „
"Well/' returned feeling 'highly
complimented, of Course, that I resem
bled such a irillainous-looking 'object
as himself, "some people call me a
beggar, and I know I dont pass.for a
genteel gentleman."
"I'll swar to that; hard, haw, haw 1"
was his chuckling ,response. "The

as plain as daylight. Say, what jail
or penitentiary lost you last ?"
"Never mind that I" said I; "proba
bly neiiher of us have got our deserts."
"Well, if you had been decent dress
ed, looked like you had five dollars

brains out I" permed the villain, with
a broad grin. "As it is, you can pass,
for I can swar you paint got a rod l"
"Much obliged for your candor, any
how I" rejoined I.
Ae still stood before me, looking di
rectly into my eye, and now seemed
to be pondering some new idea. Pre
sently he muttered, as if to himself :
"I think he might do." Then, a
moment after, be said': to. me, "I say,
old fellow, how'd you like make
raiso
"How. would I like to oat when hun
gry ?" I answered, thinking it not un
likely that the scoundrel had some
dark project in view which, by seem
ing to chime in with him, I might dis
cover.
"Well, I've got, a plan," ho said,
throwing down his club, as if to assure
me of his pacific intentions toward
myself, and quietly advancing to my
side; "I've got a plan that will give
us both a heap of money, and it'l,l just
take two to carry it out. -I've been
wanting a pal, and if you'll join in I'll
go your halves."
"If there's any chance to turn a pen
ny, I'm your man 1" said I.
"Good 1" returned ho; "you look like
trump, and I'll bet high on you. I
don't know,": he - added, eyeing me
sharply, "but I may bo deceived, but
I think I'll risk it. If you go for to
play any game on me, you'd better
look out for yourself, that's all:"
"Do I look like such a scamp as
that 7" returned I, in a rather indig-
nant tone. •
"Well, let's take a seat, and talk. it,
over."
We found an old log and sat down ;
and after some preliminary . - conversa
tion, my new and interesting acquain
tance unfolded to mo a most damnable
pcheme,,the substance of which was as
follows:
Ho knew the country well. for miles
around, and the — exact_x_9otion and
be'n`dition of' - every`settler.` `'One man,
liVing in a rather lonely quarter, about'
five miles distant, was a speculator in
horses and cattle, which he sometimes
brought and drove to a distant market.
Ho had a great deal of money, which
it was supposed 69 kept secreted in
his dwelling; and to get possession of
his money was, of course, the object in
view. The trouble was, that the man
himself was a brave, determined fel
low, who always wont well armed,
and so had, besides his wife, two grown
Up sons and a daughter, which was a
force too great for any ono individual
to encounter. About a mile from him
lived a poor widow, who had nothing
worth stealing except her clothes,
which would bo valuable for carrying
out our plan. This plan was to rob.l.
the widow first of her clothing, dress
mo up in them, and have me seek lodg
ing at the speculator's house. Then
in the night, when all the family sh'ld
be asleep, I was to unbolt the door, let
in my confederate, and wo were to
attempt the murder of the inmates—
the robbery and burning of the house
to follow and be the concluding scone.
I secretly shuddered at the atrocity
of the contemplated crime, but appear
ed to receive the disclosure with the
business air of the most hardened vil
lain, inquirieg as to the amount of mo
ney we should thus probably obtain,
and objecting to nothing but the great
risk we should have to run, both be
fore and after the accomplishment of
our purpose. I permitted my eager
companion to gradually quiet my-fears,
and at last consented to act.
When everything bad thus become•
settled, wo struck off into the fields, to
avoid being seen, and just before dark
came in sight of the widow's house.—
As my companion was acquainted with
the Premises,l insisted, that he *should
Procure the female garments, but sol
emnly warned him that if he harmed
the poor woman in the least, I would
have nothing further to do with the
a fair.
As good luck would have it, th© wi
dow was not at home, and my mire.;
derous friend managed to break in
and got the necessary clothing with
out doing any further damage. The
widow being a 4 large woman, I had
no trouble in arranging the dress so as
to pass in a: dim light as a-tolerably
respectable female ; and then, -having
agreed upon the story I was -to' tell,.
how I would manage' matters, and the
signal tbat would ,assure my accotn
plioe of all being right, we -went for
ward together, till we came in sight of
the house to bo robbed, when I made
my nearest way to the road, and con
tinued on alone, reaching the dwelling
about tin hour after dark, and just as
-r -PERSEVERE,-
the family were aboht concluding their
evening meal...
Had my design been really what:- I
had led my villainous companion to
believe, I certainly would never have
gone forward with such confident bold
ness ; but feeling my conscience all
right, and knowing I was acting from.
a good motive, I kept up wonderful
assurance, fooling curious to see how
well I could play my part, and to what
extent I could carry the deception.
I asked for lodging for the eight,
and something to eat, and was kindly
and hospitably received.• The first
thing that sent the blush of shanie and
confusion to my cheeks, w,as the com
ing forward ot a young lady, about
eighteen, beautiful as an hour!, and in
a sweet, gentle tone, asking me if I
had walked far, if I was much fatigued
Offering to take my,hood, tolling me-I
should soon be :lefreshed with a hot
cup of tea. This was a little too much
for my• equanimity. I. could have got
along with all the rest, 'without being
especially disturbed; but wits then a
young, unmarried map, and, though
not particularly 'susceptible to female
attractions in general, I thought I had
neverlooked upon so lovelyinteresting
a creature before'. I stammered out
some unintelligible' replies, kept my
hood well drawn over my face, and
asked to be permitted to have a few
minute's private conversation with tho
master of the house.
Of course this request caused con
siderable surprise, but it was granted,
and as soon as we were alone togeth
er; I told him in a few worddWho•and

out.. There was• my man; ready and
waiting.
"Is all right ?" he whispered.
"Yes, come in."
As he crossed the - threshold, the fa-
thor and son sprung upon him. But
the fellow was strong and desperate,
and perhaps had some slight suspicion
of. the truth. With a wild yell
,he
cleared their united grasps at a bound
leaving a large portion of his rags in
their hand. The next moment the
whole four of us wore in chase of the
villain, as he ran across the road to
gain the cover of a wood about twenty
rods distant.
"Fire r shouted the father; "shoo
down the scoundrel I"
We were all armed and prepared,
and at the word four revolvers began
to crack behind him. But ho seemed
to load a charmed life, and still Lo run
on, keeping a short distance ahead of
us. Once I fancied I saw him stag
ger; but he gained the woods and dis
appeared, and we reluctantly and with
deep chagrin gave up the chase.
When we returned to the house, the
wife and daughter were.both up and
terribly alarmed. Of course an expla
nation followed ; the host being disap
pointed of making the capture, as he
intended, without exciting their fears.
There-was no.more sleep in that house
that night. _
The next morning wo went out to
the wood and discovered a trail of
blood. We followed on for half a mile
and found the ruffian lying dead, face
downward, his bands firmly clinched
upon some bushes. One of the sons
recognized Lim as a suspected murder
or, who had a couple of years before
left that part of the country. Ho was
buried with little ceremony. I was
warmly thanked for, the part 1, had
played to save the family ; but from
no other did the words sound so sweet
to me as from the lipS of the beautiful
daughter.
The faniily pressed me to stay with
them for a while, and I..stayed long o
nough to lose my heart and wiri ano
thor. Strange as it appears, in looking
back to it, the event of that villain
leaping into the road before me, chan-
ged my whole fortune I and sometimes
when I gage fondly upon my viiiej
am tempted to bless the dark and wic
ked design that providentially led me
to so much happiness.

From the Pennsylvania School Journal
Teach Your Pupils to Think.
The primary object that we should
set before us, in all our labor in the
school room—the thing we should
bear continually in !bind, should be
the cultivation of correct habits of
thoughts in our pupils. If we have
gained this; wo have gained every
thing; if we have failed here, we have
made nearly, a total failure. The dis
tinguishing feature of the new, in con
trast with the old methods of instrac.
tion, is, that it sets the scholar in
search for the reason of things, and
makes him work by the rule of com
mon sense, and apply the principles
which he himself bas investigated, ra
ther than by formulas of which he
knows nothing, except that they will
bring the answer. The one method
trains the child to work like a machine
the other trains him to make use of
the powers, the faculties of mind which
God has given him, and to analyze the
several processes by which be seeks
to arrive at correct results. The one
trains the student to add, subtract,
multiply and divide; the other also
trains him to 'do this, hilt it trains him
to think continually why be does it.
Do not train your pupils then, as
Page's Teacher did, to do things be
cause "the rule says se,' but so disci
pline them to think, that they could
construct a rule for themselves if all
the text books were blotted out of ex
istence.
Accustom the child not to receive a
principle as true; until it has been
. prOved to be so. Lot him even ques
tion the statement you make him, if
ho does it in a proper spjrit, and ivith
a desire to understand the principles
on which those statements are found
ed. Let him even argue with you,
and, if .his arguments are unsound, Or
oven ridiculous, do not think them
unworthy- OfyoUr notice, bUt shOW
him their unsoundness, and teach him
to.use bettcr - It alkpuld be a source
of 'ph:lnure to ns When we see the dis•
position on the part of our pupils, to
sock proof of the correctness of our
assertions; and the true teacher will
rejoice at every such opportunity of
strengthening the mental powers' of
his pupils. lam not speaking now
of that pertness which delights in con
tradicting merely for the sake of be
ing in the opposite—for the sooner
this is checked the better both for tea
cher and scholar ;—but I am speaking
of that disposition to test your state
ments, that a child, very anxious, to
know the reason of things, will often
manifest.
But not only in the exact sciences
may you teach children to think; the
moral and the physical furnish a yet
wider range for the cultivation of cor
rect habits of investigation, and of rea
soning back to causes and forward to
results. There is hardly a. recitation
in the natural sciences, but it opens
up a field for awakening the mind and
sending it out to trace causeand effect
that the teacher should not be willing
to lose.
Does the text book mention the
fact, that the coast of Labrador has - a
much colder climate than exists at the
same latitude in Europe? You have
an excellent opportunity to set them
thinking how the Gulf stream, and the
cold currents from the Arctic ocean,
operate to produce this difference. Is
the fabt, that there is 'a rainless region
in Peru brought before them ? The
trade winds, together with the known
laws respecting the condensation and
consequent falling of vapor, will ena
ble them to account for' it, and will
also give an impetus to their minds
that will render their progressin stu
dy much more rapid. Do you hear
one utter an ungrammatical sentence?
do not rest satisfied with tolling him
what would be correct, but take him
back, to the principle that he has vio
lated, and make him correct himself
by it; then he will be prepared to no
tice any similar mistake, and to apply
the same principle to it.
So, also, in the requirements which
you make of him, give him the reas
ons, and, so far as pbtsible, intik° him
understand tlie them: We:
too often require Children to "'take our

A dash of crimson flushed the white
brow, dyeing_lips and cheeks. A sud

weeping made them dim. - What ' a

and fear, of the rich voice 1

Poor Maggie Austin! Every one
said two years before, when gay, dash-t
ing Hugh Airstin led her to the altar,
that the yoUng scapegrace only
,cour
ted the girl's property, and .when he
had obtained that, would not hesitate
to cast the sweet, trusting wife aside'
to suit his convenience. •
Hugh Austin' was poor—Maggie
was an orphan and comparatirely
rich. Hugh embarked in• an unsuc
cessful speculation and lost all. ±Mag
gin said, "Never mind; Hugh, we can:
work." ' And she smiled just as swe,et
ly as when she said. a Year preoiiiii,
"I am yours, Hugh. 4 .•
But poverty,was stinging, and .:the`
cry of "gold, gOld," came fro - ti - the far
off mines of California: 'Austin
went. Every onesaid he meant to 4e ,

eryone" believed it, except Maggio,
who, with a noble woman's trust; scor
ned alike the imputation• and its sup
posed fabricators.
Maggie turned away froth tho pOst
office. What of it? She had turned
away hundreds of times with that
same lOok of despair upon her white
face. The passers by jostled her—she
was weak and faint. Poor Maggie 1
weak and faint—yet What of it? Who

"Writing home, eh 7" said Charles
Summers.
Hugh Austin yawned, wiped the ink
from the pen, and then replied, "Yes."
"To that dear little wife of your?,
eh, Hugh ?" . • ,
"Yes again:you inquisitive Charlie."
"Inquisitive, am . i ?' said Charles.
"Well, how many letters have you
written the charming little lady since
you hare been here.?"
A orimson - ftush crept up over hie
