Jien Lad giuo to bed, (bv the wav, ll.ey

Jeer I heard fool hteps. 1 saij( a,cr(
wniebody coming, ut tha same time I
inched the door and opened it, aud thtro
topped in a Lieuieuaut. and 1 think sev
n uim, and demanded to ki,ow if his
nnme was Miller, lie said it was, and the
illicer said he had come to arrest him
Miller atked what for? and I ivked what
tehad done, or omitte.. lo, that ther0
ihouid com n tucb a force of armed men
t that time of night. Just then tl.edoor
opened, and there came in another, arni
td with what appeared to uie to be a short
liilo, and it appeared by his tracks iu the
mow next morning, that he had marched
seross the garden and went up back of the
bouse and looked in at tho window, ex
lcciiitg, I reckon, that they would have a
ery wribld and most desperate encoun
ter ni'li this mnn Miller. They f.u I that
lupy HHl been tola that he carried i load
nl revclvcr in cacli pocket. V.'e told
liicni that there never was a revolver kept
in our Louse or about us. J said I wished
I bad one, and laughed at them and told
them that they ought tohavecmie in dny
lijjlit, that it might have been plea-nntcr
to themselves ; and I also told them that
it would have boen quite enough for them
to bring inch a force, if he had been a
robber or a hortethief, or a rnuiderer, or
committed the unpardonable tin. J ask
ed if they had any intention of arresting
we, ami taid if they had I was ready, a I
a q jito as guilty as he, perhaps more c
Tuey answered that they were not in the
business ot arresting wornon. I said, per
Up not as yet, and added that if they
had came to take me, there ought to have
bon at least ten or a doz n more of them.
I taid 1 considered it a great and credita
ble buiiness that of draining men away
from their families ol midnight, without
honring authority, or as much ns t.blo to
te!l who tho accuser was, or even the na
ture of the cri.ro ! I don't believe I ever
knew of any person being taken before
without a warrant, or a noinetuin, more
