sued the villain with a broad grim. ''A,
it is, yoi can pass -for I air'ar you hain't

Much obliged for your candor, any
how !" rcioined I. '
He still stood before me.looking straight
into my eyes, nnd now seeming to be pou
doring eoine now idea. Preeeolly he mut
tered, ns if to himself:
"I think he might do." Then, a mo
ment nfter hesoid to me, "I soy old fel
low liow 'd you like lo make a raise?"
"flow would 1 like to em when hungry?"
I answered, thinking it not unlikely that
the scoundrel had dome dark project in
view which, by seeming to chime in with
him, I might discover.
"Well, I've got a Inn," said he, throw
ing down hu club, as if to assure me of
his pacific intentions towards myself, nnd
quietly advancing to my side "I've got a
plan that will give us both a heap of mon
ey, nnd it'll just tnke two to carry it out.
I've been wanting a pal, and if you'll ioiu
in I'd go your halves."
"If there's nn v chance to turn a penny,
I'm your man," sHid I.
"Ooodl" returned he; "ycu look like a
trump, and I'll bet high on you. 1 don't

but I may bo deceived-but I think l'"ll
risk it. If you go to play nny game on
me, you'd boiler look out fjr yourself
that's nil."
"Do 1 lock like such a scnuip ns that?"
returned i, in an indignant tone.
"Weil, let's take a scat nod talk it
over."
We found nn old log and fal down ;
nnd ufler some preliminary eonveisaiion,
my urn iiihi interesting acquaintance un
folded to me u most damnable scheme,
the subslsricc of which wRb ns follows:
He knew the country well for miles a
round, and the exact position at d condi
tion of every settler. One man. living in a
miner lonely quarter nl.mil Iiui4;-J
nn, ..n:. u rj.'-uuii iur in uorsfb nmi c. ti
tle, which he sometimes bought up and
drove to n dift.tnt markol. He Imd a
good deal of n:oney, which it wnssuppnsed
he kept secreted in .his dwelling; nnd to
get possession of this money wns, of
course, the object in view. The trouble
wan, that the man himself wnsr. brnvo, de
termined fellow, who alwny went well
armed, und wl.-m had, besides his w ifn, two
grr.wn up boiis ami a daughter, which was
a force too formidable for nny ono individ
ual to encounter. About a mile from him
lived a poor widow, who had nothing
worth stealing except her clothes, which
would be valuable lor carrying out our
plan. His plan was lo rob tlie widow first
of her clothing, dress me up in them, and
then seek lodging at the speculator's
hoine. Then in llm tiiglil, when all the
r.tinily should be asleep, I was lo unbolt
the door, let in my confederate, and we
were to attempt the murder of the ui
inates therobbf ry and I uming the house
to follow and he the concluding scene.
1 (ecietly shuddered at ihe atrocity of
the contemplated crime, but appeared to
receive the disclosure with the business
air of the most hardened wretch, inquir
ing a to how much money wo should thus
probably obtain, and objecting lo nothing
but Ihe great risk we should have to run,
both before and nfter the accomplishment
of our purpose I permitted my enger
companion to gradually quiet my fears,
nnd at lat consented to act.
When everything had thus become set
tled, we struck ofl'into the fields, lo avoid
being seen, and just before dark came in
sight of the widow's house, As my com
panion was well acquainted with the
premises, I insiscd that he should procure
the female garments but solemnly warn
ed him that if he harmed the poor woman
in the least 1 would have nothing more to
do with the nO'uir.
As good luck would have it. the widow
was not at home, and my murderous
friend managed to break in and get the
necessary clothing without any further
