" Your Oiler° red, bliss," said Stone burn in' a sharp voice. " You remind me °flay late Wife, your mother ; she did nothing but whine andweepantilshe died. Sit down." , , "She had cause enough to weep," said Ellen, with ,much spirit, and indignant that her mother'should be alluded to so scornfully. ".She never made het one mis take in her. life, and that was - when she Married you, James Stoneham. So great a mistake that for ten years she grieved ovei it and th'en died." • - "Enough! -,I have sent, foi. you to "knote whether you will marry Simon Cline or not ? 1 , "My answer shall be given to Simon Cline, and'not to you, sir, " replied Ellen. -"Your dignity demands that, I sup pose," said Steneburn, with a sneer, `3lr. Cline!" 'As he spoke, a large curtain, hiding an alcove window, was moved aside, and a talk elderly man, with dark and a sinister face placed himself before Ellen Grak hem. • "Simon. 'Cline awaits his doom," said this man lxpiring and grimacing. Ellen started-at his unexpected pres ence, , but recovering her natural - firmness Very soon said to him— "l inform air.-Cling that I - can never be leis wife. Mr. Cline is old enough to be my father." "The greater your chance of becoming s rich young widely, my dear," said Simon Cline hive given my final decision," said Ellen haughtily. ".1 will now retire, ho ping never to be again insulted by either of you." ".Stay," said Stonebnm, "I will tell you the consequences of your refusal, that having heard them, - you may be inclined to reconsider you decision, and change it.", • "Nothing can force inc to (lenge ; so' let me retire," said Ellen. "You must listen," said St4bnehnrn.— " Your refusal will make your accepted 10 - ver, Iry - ;oung clerk; Henry . Tyler, a con vict." - • "A convict ! Henry Tyler a convict!" exclaimed Ellen, growing pale. ' Ha! That touched a tender spot," sneered Stoneburn. "Yon thought I had not, discovered my clerk's presumption, and your folly: You and Henry Tyler have secretly plighted vows. I intend to make you,, break theni." " Miss Grayham thinks Tam too old," said Simon - Cline, 4 but I have been -a handsomer man than ever Henry Tyler was. 'Here. is my miniature—taken• when I was of his age=twenty-five; and 7 think I'am as presentable now as then." Simon Cline,. vain and villainous, thrust a golden-framed_ miniature into Ellen's hand'as he spoke. , She did not. glance at it, but involunta rily her trembling fingers close d upon it, and she felt asif about to faint with ter- , ler as gazed upon the time and sin.' hardened faces of the unprincipled men before her. "Before you retire," sai d - Stoneham), producing a letter, " read this you may sce I am net jesting." Ellen opened the letter, scarcely, know ing what she did, and read as follows; "New York, Dec42o, 18.1—, •Deks ELLEN ;—I am innocent; - yet lam in the Tombs on charges of forgery and roberv. Your step-father is my . accuser and holds ttrong propfs.against me, yet I swear lam innocent. Be true to me, and never doubt; Your affectionate lover. - HENRY TYLER." s PoOr Ellen sank into a chair, and cover ed her face with her hands. " -4 Oh, this is terrible !" said• she. But he is innocent—l know he is innocent, Poor Henry !" 4 A jury shall convict 'him with my evi dence and Mr.. Cline's," said Stoneburn. "I 'intercepted that note ouits way to you. Corne, come and no more tears. I've been . drowned wittitears these ten-years. - Go to Your room, and think of all I have said."• Ellen arose and left: the room, feeling , that she Would swoon if she remained lon ger to be tortured more. When she had gone, SimotiXlite rub bed his • hands gleefully, and said : "It will do—it will do iShe will vet .hi7(llr DR3UL yield." - "She Shall," said Stoneburn, sharply. "But Sinion Cline, you are getting the beit of this bargain. ' How so ? 'How so ?" cried Mr. Cline quickly. i". We. are to share her mother's . gstate, half and half.

When, she recovered - her senses she foimd herself lying on her bed, And the housekeeper,Mrs. Stevens, bathing her temples with cologne. " Ah ! I am so miserable," sighed: Ellen as she' caught the benevolent glance of the houSekeeper. • " Will you tell me what is the matter my per child ?? asked Mrs. Stevens, as Ellen rose 'and - Sat up. . - "Yon were.always my poor mother's Mend," replied Ellen," and I will tell you all, bat I fear you cannot aid me." She then related ,all that had passed, and Mrs. Stevens listened with eager at tention. • " Henryl !Tyler is innocent," said Alm. Stevens, as Ellen concluded. " I know the young Man Well, and know his mother —kind-hearted Widow as she is. What a blow it will be to her to hear of his' dis grace! YOu could — not have given your love to a more worthy young man, my dear child, and be sure that God will not suffer him to become the victim- of those wretches. James Stoneburn I believe to be a villain ; . 'tbe manner in which he treated yotir mother is Iroof enough— But you said Sithon Cline.had given you his likenes's— "11is likeness when he Was a young man said Ellen, andlte.r,e it is in my hand all the time, as if it ' as worth,—that.i" She tossed it from her in disgust. - Mrs. Steenspicked the minutttm up, saying ' "I would like to see it, foi • though I have seldom seen Mr. Simon Clineovh'en I did, he always reminded me of some body I knew in Alabama nearly thirty years ago. - 11layI look at. it ?" " Oh, yes! and then fling it out of the door,", cried Ellen.- "Ah I" screamed Mrs. Stevens, as she opened the golden case and •glanced at the picture. "Wh at is the matter?" cried Ellen, starting, up in great alarm:, But Mrs. Stevens had fainted, and lay back in her arm-chair pale and senseless. Ellett knew that the miniature had something to do with the fainting, and "secured it before she rang for assistance. • When Mrs Stevens was restored to con sciousness, Ellen dismissed the servants, and begged her to tell why she had sirooned. • ' But Mrs.. Stevens was for a long time silent, yet when she did tell, it made Ellen feel *mud) lighter of heart than .she had been for many weeks. "Simon Cline is to receive your an swer again to-morrow 'night," said Mrs. SteVero, 'alter telling Ellen quite a long story, "and -yOu niiw well prepared to answer, him. Still I'm - mit - be present." . "You 'must conceal yourself in Mr. SteiMburn's sitting room 'before they, go there to-morrow night," said. Ellen. • I will do so, and hope for the best," said Mni. Stevens, as sheleft . Ellen much relieved in mind its regarded Simon but still alarmed Or her lover. At eight o'clock . on the following night Ellen received another summons to the presenee of her amiable step-father, and when she entered the sitting room she foundStoneburn and Simon Cline drinking. wine quite cosily together. "Well, Miss Ellen," said Stoneburn, flashing hiseyes at her as she appeared, "I hope you have reversed your, decision. I see you have not been 'crying to-day." "Let .Mrs Simon-Cline ask for himself; said Ellen. "Miss E.llenGrayham," said Cline, _ris ing and smiling so as to reveal a InagnifiL cent set of false teeth, "my wooing must -appear to you in a most disadvantageous light—but circumstances, you know—ah —may I hope to call Miss Ellen Grayham My wife r • "There is an insurmountable irripedi 7 ment, Mr. Cline," said Ellen. "Warne it—name it! I will crush it! :What is it?" demanded Cline. '"Ve do not live in Turkey, nor among the MormOns," said Ellen, "and Mr. Cline has a living wife' now " WhAt ! I! Nev-!"C cried Cline. The same curtain- that had hidden him the night before now . was displaced, and Mis. Stevens, appeared, saying— "l an; that wife, George Grew!" Mr. Cline started as if shot, and stared at Mrs. Stevens in wild dismay. "Fort call, yourself Simon Cline," said She, shaking hdr finger at bimond backing him to the wall, " but you • are my hus band, George Grew, of Mobile, Alabama. Thirty years ago you robbed and deserted me your wife-4-robbed many others, and fled, leaving the to bear your infamy; I left Mobile and L;lianged, my name, that ilisgrace might not: cling to me, George Grew!" In dismay the detected rascal glanced towards James Stoneburn.' Thiit gentleman seemed in estacies. "Ha!" cried Cline l in high wrath, "1 must run again, it seems; but you—need not think to escape, James Stoneburn. I flo—l am this woman's husband—but when 'shall hhve reached security,-1. will forward the proofs of your villany to the proper qUarters. Good night, all! Miss Grayham, yout. lover is in n oeen remble, James'Stonebtirn ! Yon had best release Henry Tyler ; before .your forgeries are discovered." With these Words he hurried away. "Leave niel" .cried Stoneburn, when. Cline had departed; and when aloe be continued—" That rascal will betray me! lam ruined!. ; Shaine, disgrace infaitiy." Simon Cling, kept his parting - promise; and when on 'the following day, James StOneburn heard that the estate was secur ed to Ellen beyond. dispute, and that Henry Tiler had been. liberated on bail, and when he knew that his false charges. would • .be: exPosedi . he fled to his sitting. room and shut himself' up.

The farm-houses were robbed; shops were robbed ; the tills at the bars of the Way . side inns were robbed; and people had their pockets picked., - All-this happened in the region of .country between Sidney and Lewstone--not 'afield ofvast extent— and yet the robber Or robbers could not be found. Officers had searched in everYtli . -fiction - find several suspicious -lookin g . to ' dividul had beeti apprehended; but the real culprit. remained at large.. One day thej mail . was robbed , end on the_ifeit a man had, his pockets nicked of five huh dred pounds, •while riding in the stage • I coach—for my narrative dates back to the oldicoaching days. ; The money had been carried in Ins breast pecket,•and ho knew that it was stolen from-him while he was enlovi ang hit of a doze on the road. ' -. .1i 'had been confined to my hoase-by:ti severe cold - for several-days; and was not fit to go out now t but as this.matter was becoming so serious, I felt it my duty to be On the move, and accordingly I fortified . ' my; throat and breast with warm flannel, and set forth, I had no settled.plan in my mind, for I had not been on'the road, an& was not " posted up." A ride* five miles brought me to Sidney, and thence I meant to ',take the coach •to T. oxstone, where 'Stile Stickney, one of the shrewdest of men, lived. • Stickney had already been on the search.; and' I . wished to consult him be fore making any decided movement. I reached Sidney at half past five o'clock in the morning; and 'the coach left It six. LoWstinie was sixtynalles distant, so I had a good ride before me. During the early part of the day I rode upon the box with the driver; and froin him I gained consid- - erableinformation respecting the various - robberies that had been committed. He was. forced to admit that several people .had been robbed in his stage,. thiugh he declared that he couldn't see. into it, for bellied' not the most remote idea even;of who .the robber could be. • We reached Bonniville St noon, where , we stopped to dine, and when we left this . place I .. .Was th e only passenger. ,At the d i stance of twelve miles, at a little village called Cawthern, we stopped to change I horses, and here 'anOther passefey,er get, up;.: I had been . occupying the 'toward seat, as that happened to be wider than the others, and gave me a better opportu nity for lying down; and when the new coiner entered he took the back seat. He - was a young map, I judged, and not very tall in statue, but .so completely bundled up, was 'he in shaWls anttrauffiers, that his size of frame was not . so easily determin ed: He was very pale, and coughetnad ly; and I at once made up my mind that • he!. was for less fit to travel than I.was. 1 After we had got fairly on our way, I re ' marked to bim that I had been su ff ering frOin a severe cold, and that this was the fir_St time I had ventured out for quite a number of days. Ile looked at me out of a pair of dark; bright oyes; and 'When he i seemed to have determined what manner of man I was, he said: - " I have something Worse than a cold, sir." Ile broke into a fit of coughing I which lasted a minute or so, and then ad= I ded : "It won't be a great while -before I ! shall take my last ride." _ • Again ( he was *seized with a spasm of coughing , and when he had 'recovered from it, he contained: . . "The disease is eating me up and slink .-hi!me. to pieces at the same time." • He further informed me that lie had started on a tour for his beaky, but that he had given it up, and was now on' his way home, which place•he was an xiouslo, reach as soon as possible. 'Another par oXism seized him at this point, and be in timated that he Was , unable to converse, as the effort tronght on. this cough. I had noticed' this, and made 'up my mind to tr ouble him -no more, ' even before he ' had given la this hint. . 1 'After this he drew his outer shairl , mOre closely about his neck and face; he closed his eyes, and I was not long in fol. I toeing his example. Toward thimiddlo of the - afternoon the coach stopped at 'a small village, where we changed horses again, and where passengers got up. Thi broke up -the arrangement of my frien and self-for rest, as he had to take one o the strangers', on j his: scat, while; I took another upon • mine, the other two occur pying the middle seat. ;The new comers soon broached the subject, of the rob beries which had beeti committed in that region, and I listened to:gain information, if possible, but they knew no more than , any one else knew They had heard all about it and were inflated with wonder. One—an old farmer—asked me it' I knew anyting of the robber." I toldibim I knew but little of the affair any way, hav ing been sick, and unable to be among folks. . Then • lie asked my consumptive friend if he knew anything- about it.- The latter raised his head from ,its re dining position ' and' was. on the point of answering, when we heard -our driver, in:quick - abrupt topes, ordering some one 1 to get out, of. the' road., I instantly put ms head out. of the window to see what I the trouble -was, 'and my load was just 1 quick enough to detect a load of faggots I in time to dodge back and escape them. The road was quite narrow at this point, and as the faggots were loaded very wide ly; it was impossible for the• driver to •y wholl avoid the ri i;and the' side of the I c oach - was swept by them quite smartly. I escaped without'being' touchetl, but-not, so with my fri6,nd..theard an exclamation --4 thought rather a- profane one—from• his lips, and on foOking toward him I saw one of the faggots had struck him over the left eye, making qaite a . mark upon the pale skin. This accident' turned the conversation fromithe, subject of the rob beries; and it was not again alluded to daring the day. j, • . . We reached Lnwstdne shortly after dark, and rwent 'at once to the residence jof Mr: Stickney, 'll2Olll •I found at home. Ile bad • been 'oat tall day, and had made fall sorts of efforts` to obtain some pine to the perpetrate,* of the robberies that were I , I being committed, but without effect. ...,.. - t He said he -cetild learn .nothing on 'which to hang . suspicion.

On the following ra ruing - we .were' up early; and aa.the coa c h would take us pectly to Gini. 7 bilt's house,' we chose that ?node of.con veyance, and _repaired at reasonable hour' to the tavern for c hat - purpose. When We r4ached the inn , • e found, the old farmer whoi had been- one .of my .fel lew-passengers .on! the night( before, . step ping about the door in a high state of ex citement. Irde had been. robbed of three hundred poinids; and lie Wall, sure it must have been done in the stage, for he had slept with his pocket beak under his pil low...

Of course I allowed the, operation td be perforMed, willingl y . After the excitement was allayed, I asked where •theliale young man was who Came in the coach,.and was told. hy the landlord thathe . went away soon after the coita l ' • I, arrived, I - • My first ai m . was to -puller Myself that the - old man hadbeen'robbea in the stage coach, and 0 'this he-succeeded in, con vincing me?. After this - air suspicions rested upon! the coniumptivie - man, and L ; believed if I could find hint!' should find 1 the rogue: I So I bade the!landlord keep a sharp • lookout; and - else' spoke to the driver who had brought me from Sidney, and who was now on the pint of return ing, requesting, him, if he saw any of . the - pale n ab, to see that he!
