In the solemn eventide. iue uuiir wo iusi ni loom. pood Tl'ord Kidnapping a Robber. Thfl post-olllcH at ObervlllB, a small westt-rn town In tlie Uulted States, was a very Importcnt place. The worthy pusiiusMtr Kppi a country store, vvliere he disuenKed Koods of ovf ry description. The !ltrlct was comparatively new. and formed one of those prairie villages that sprang into existence miles away from other towns, und are asoit cf nucleus or trading posl for a large ex tent of country, Saturday was the principal tracing day and Mr. llar mon, the postmaster, and Ills assistants weie always overwhelmed with busi ness on that day. But on the particular Saturday after noon of which we wish to speak the trade had slackened earlier than usual, and the proprietor and his meu were enjoying a breathing time, and chat ttnu with several rough-looking fellows, who had gathered about the stove,many of them being strangers, for a stranger attracted but little notice In that com munity of new comers. " Ilere comes Charley Gilbert, the very man I want to see I" remarked Harmon, as a horseman dashed nn tn the store and dismounted. lie was a tall, broad shouldered young Hercules ; and the large bag uuise ne roue looaeil well adapted to carrying suth a weight, and exhibited due equine pride iu serving his youuy master. " You are Just the person I wanted to see Charley I" mid Mr. Harmon. ''Singular," said Gilbert. "I should think you would rather not see me, ns you know the object of my call, Peo ple are not generally so welcome when they come for money." " Well, I am au exception to this in stance, for I am anxious to get rid of the amount I owe you. Fact is, there have been burglars about'and they tried to break Into my storo last ulght, but were frightened away j so I prefer you would hold this money against more successful attempts of the kind." And Mr. Harmon proceeded to count out a large roll of notes, which Gilbert placed carefully In his pocket. " Now, Charlie," said neiuhbor Hill, one of tho party seated around the stove j "you had better keep a look out, 'cause home one might stop you to night before you return IromCranton." The allusion to Ctantuii brought a slight blush to Charley's chtek, tor It was well known that he was on Ills usual visit to a certain you school mis tress, who dwelt lu the neighboring set tlement. " How do you know I rtm going to C'runtou ?' aked Charley. " Well, 1 only suppose so, 'cause I've beaid i-aid you do go that way about this lime o' the w?ek " and Hill wink ed to tlie crowd, who laughed ; Charley Ulltiett, nut wishing to discuss the sub ject any further, hut the store, and mouutlng old Hero, was eoon out of tight. " Jighty fine chap, thit Gilbert Is," resumed Hill to his fellow loungers; " been In the atmy and won his way, an' Dow ho lias got his allotment of land out here, an' will soon have one of the Quest farms In this couutiy." The tlioit autumn day ca.ue to a clou.-, and It was loug after dark ere Gilbert ra iched his destination, and re celveJ his usual hearty welcome from Sarah Denton. Saturday nights were tho bright spots In tie.r dull life us a schoolmistress, nnd were sure to bring her Charley. Old Hero had carried Ills master over the road so often, that he knew Just what was required of liliu, and needed no urging. " Now, do be be careful," were her last words, " for you know there might be danger on the road, so many robber, les have been committed lately." " Never tear, S-irah ; Old Hero will take tie home safely." And with a good-by kiss, ho mount ed and rode away The night was dark no light except tbe stars that sparkled crisply from a clear sky, Unt, had it been ever so daik, It would have made no difference i tn Charley. His thoughts were with the sweet girl he had Just left, and paying nn attention to his horse, he lode slowly along, intent upou plans for the future. " The money I have received to-day will enable me to complete tay home j then ..arah will be my wife, and we shall live on the farm such a happy life," he mused. A long, dark patch of forest loomed ahead, through which the prairie road tan, and not until he had entered its dark shadows, did tbe horseman arouse from hit blisilul reverie. "What if I should be attacked?" thought ho. " I have nothing to de fend me, nnd enough money to make It a good haul for such gentry. Humbug I I don't believe there Is any danger-" " Halt I" And two dark forms sprang Into the road, seized ills bridle, and the steely glitter of pistols leveled nt htm, within a few feet of tils breast, startled him. Like a flash, tits good tight arm struck the weapon from the hand of the robber, and fell heavily upon tho shoulder of the fellow ; and with a sud den jerk of the powerful arm he na hauled over the saddlo-bow, while old Hero, lu response to a dig of th spur, sprang away, Jeiklngthe othor robber off his feet, and causing his bullet to spread wide of Its Intended victim. On through the gloomy woods, nnd out again upon the open prairie, dash ed the horse with his double burdeu, while the robber struggled like a child in the powerful grasp of his captor. A closing of the fingers over his neck soon reduced him to quiet ; nod, held in this manner, he rode an unwilling captivt, aud, at last, tbo lights of Oberville ap peared, and soon they were in the vll fage. At a word from his master, Hero stopped in front of the post-olllce, from the window of which a cheery light shone, denoting that the assistants were still busy replacing the goods that had been taken down durlug tho day's traffic. " Hllloa I" cried Gilbert A head appeared at the door, and a voice answered," Hllloal Who's there." " It's me, John, and I have got some thing nice here ; come and help me iu with It," answered Charley. " it's Gilbert," said John address ing bis fellow-sh"pmnn. " What's that you've got, Charley? a saddle of venison ?' asked John as he approach ed. Better than that, John. It U a real live little deer. Come and lift him down, but hold hlm'fast," snM Gilbert. The astonished shopmen gathered about, and Charley told them or Ills ad venture Soon the robber was releas ed from'hU unpleasant position on tbe saddle and takeu Into the store, where bis captor followed. Here he was safely bound. " I think I have seen this fellow be fore," remarked John as Ih took a sla very of the captive. " He Is that stranger who was sitting at the stove here when Mr. Uarmuu paid your money, Charley." " Let's search him, and see what sort of plunder he lets about him," suggested one of the shopmen. The p'tsoiier'ti pockets revealed a small llak ot liquor, a puck of ranis, some little money, and a savage-looking dirk knife. " Uilloa, what's this?" exclaimed Gilbert, picking up a piece of paper that fell on the floor, and opening it, read :" One thousand dollars rewatu. for the capture of one William Lai kin, the supposed leader of a gang of rob bers and borse-stealers. He is a short, slim man, dark hair, heavy blaik eye brows, and mnustache, ami peculiar looking, small black eyes--" "Auswers tno deception to a T," broke In John. "aha William Larkln, or Curly Bill I I've heard of him. Charley, you're In luck I' This fellow is a prize indeed I" addtd one of the assistants. "Yes ; this placard is from the slier riff ot St. Joe, and is dated only a week ago," said Charley, alter nubh ing tbe reading. "Gentlemen," laid the robber, "you have got the original Curly Bill, and when you deliver me up, you will get that reward. I am In joiir power ; L(ut these strings are bound around my wrists most unmercifully tight," with a grimace of pain. " Can't you ailoid to make 'em easier? " "Yes, let thrm out a little, Jones," said John, addressing u fellow-as.iiit-nnt. " Make them safe, hut tint too tight, and I will watch the bird mean., while." So Jones proceeded cautiously to re arrange the lionds on the wrists of the prisoner, while the others gathered around him. With a sudden Jerk of prodigious strength, Curly Bill got his bond.- free, dashed his fist In the face of John, nnd spiang to the door, which had not been locked. So sudden was his movement, that ero the rest of the group could compre hend the ccenn, he as clear of the store, and as Gilbert reached lhe door, lie saw the robber -prl:g Into the sad dle on old Hero's back and dash away. Pursuit was not to be thought of ; but Gilbert placed his fingers to his mouth, and gave a shrill wlii-tle; hearing which, old Hero, despite the urging of his rider, wheeled suddenly, and at the same wild gallop, started back to his' master. Seeing this, Curly Bill attempted to throw himself from the saddle ; but, In so doing, his f"ot caught lu the stirrup, and he was dragged helplessly over the hard giouud. Fortunately fur the via tim of tills mishap, the dMance was not creat, or the result might luvo been far more serious.
