Col. Fsrgusou to tho frontiers of
North Carolina, for tho osteneiblo
jmrposo of eueouraging the t ories of
that region to take up arms for tho
king. Ferguson's foico coiisisted in
part of tho most profligate and abau

lay, and his inarch wan marked
by attrocitiea of the most shocking
diacription. Tho hardy men of tho
Carolinas, Kentucky aud Virginia,
Toae against tho marauders, nud, lod
by lloone aud other backwoods wor

Slio stait'jd, dropped her pri.u,

Sho could aeo nothing, for tho

Those words drove every vestige

though sho could not sco oven tlio

Then a calm thought of her situa

of tuo Ureailoit six, crept to a spot
near tho bureau where there wits a
crack in tho lloor. Then applying
hor eyo to tho puck hole, sho saw six
wild looking men directly bouoath
her.
Thoy woro, beyond doubt, tho
Avengers of Ferguson's death, for
sovcrul masks lay on tho table, along
with threo or four bottles of wine
which tjioy had taken from somo
patriot's cellar. Tall, rough, dovil-
mny-scaro-looking fellows they woro,
armod with pistols, carbines, nnd j
sabres, tuo kind of innii who nover
court tho smiles of mercy or liston
to tho pleading of iniioconcn. Just
suou leuows as tucy wore, Aiieo uao

Carolina at that lima who would
havo given their right arms for a
chauco to exterminato tho Avengers,
and Alice know whnro n little party
of patriots lay, but alas 1 thoy were
uot very near.
"We 11 rest boro and finish that

bearing with him a duck and soveral
cluckotis, from nhose freshly wrung
uocks the warm blood was dripping.
"How's tho hoisos,'' asked ouo of
tho Avengers, as tho niau flung the
poultry on tho table.
"Standing lika rooks," was the re
ply. "Such horses as thoy aro dou't
need watching, and, busido, thoro
isn't a rebel within ton luiloj of this
accursed plaoo."
"Why, there's the WUjw Ilart

"And presented him with a breast

Thus in u fnw moments Ferguson's

Flushed with triumph, Alico Dean

siruin looked

tenants.
Slio now held a

gruutod her, and sho crept to the
edge of the porch before sho halted.
There was tho llash of vcngeuiico in
the dark eyes of tho partisan girl
while she gazed upon the party be
yond tho threshold. Once or twico
sho raised the weapon, but lowered
it ugaiti, os if pluving with tho life
of tho leader of tho sik, whoso burlv
form was roveulo 1 by tho light of the
tiro.
Sho saw the fowls, smoking nnd
well Inn ue.l, placod on tho table, and
watched tho greody men crowd a

Tho noxt moment, with an oath on

ho jerkod open' and stepped upon

"Ciirso such dogs as I load 1" ho
hissed. "I supposo I must load tho

Ho was stopping from tho porch

Tho vengeance of tlio patriots was

Alico Heauehampp, whoso murage j
had led to the extermination of tho

Tho Now York Mireury says : A
most peculiar robbery was lately
pcrpotrulod upon tlio teniule llliuutes
of a house on Dupont stroet, Pun
Francisco. Tho women, it appears,
were asleep, and wheu they retired
they had left the gas burning low.
Thoy were awakened by a midden
brightness which had beciij prod need
by turning on a full head ol gas, and
they discovered threo nioii in the
room. Ouo of these had pointed
toward them a loaded revolver,
while tho two others woro rummag
ing tho drawers of tho bureau. One
of tho wonien gave a scream, when
all threo men turned toward tho bed
and each presented a rovolver, tell
iug tliom they would havo to keep
j quiet if they valued their lives, and
ii tney nail aiiytuing to say mey
mnst not speak nbovo a whisper.
Ono of tho robbers then approached
tho women. From tho hands of one
ho stripped diamond rings vnluod at
tfSOO, and from tho other took rings
worth 12o. Ouo of tho women,
after boing robbed commenced to
cry bitterly, and tho robber nskod
her why she wept. Nho replied :
"You havo taken my wedding riug ;
return that to mo, and you may
koep tho rest." Tho robber hesitat
ed about roturuiuir it. but tho wom-
an begged hard that ho would re
nrn if. itn, lie nine. i, I if. oil t ie
llmrnr fenm uliich lm Imd taken it
after which ho kissed hor mid ex-
prestod a hope thnt sho would bu a
good girl iu tho future.
A Dead Shot.
Frank Fray no is now performing
the feat of shooting un apple oil' his
wifo's head. Ho performs it nightly
at tho New Chicago Thentro. Somo
persons thought it simply n cleaver
trick of legerdemain t but it is real
ly a triumph of marksmanship. Re
cently Mr. Fray no gave a private
exhibition of his skill before a seloct
ooinmitteo comsistiug of members of
the press and a number of experts.
Mr. Fred Knight, a member of the
company, was soloctod to hold tho
applo ou his head nnd stand quiet
uuder flro. Frank Fray no loaded
his riflo a Stovous, made at Chieo
pee Falls, Mass. and ho made that
piece of fruit fly into a thousand pie
ces. .Then ho repeated tho experi
ment this timo nriug backward
over his Bhoulder, and taking bis aim
by moans of a small mirror. I bore
could bo no doubt as to tho reali
ty of tho shootiug i tha only wouder
was that tho young man shot at
could calmly stand without Jliuobiug.
