    Ously Podijah tumbled down the ftoira,
covered with cinders, bis' face and bands
blistered, and some of bis white lock
withered to ashes.

Don't praise me, returned Podijah.

for these poor firls.'
' Escape a you can through the dark

the mercy of the enemy, aud yield our

' Yes we will trut ourselves to the bu

if it be ITeavcn's will, for those dear and
helpless ones: but forsake them, never!
A loud shout arose from without The
Tories were exultin? in tboir success
What must bo done!' asked Paul, in
an acrony of nuxiety.

tcr. licmani here and be burnt, or

iu1 up like a raco-horsel'
Laurelwood House fihook with the vio
leuce'of the devouring flame, whioh had
eateu through the roof and now envelop
ed tile and rafter. While the group
looked up in alarm, a red sword of fire
was thrut down through the ceiling.
. 'It is the flaming sword! it waves us
from our Paradise!' oried Jessie.
'Nay,' said Paul, impres.-ivcly, 'some
. of us may be going to an eternal pnra
die.' The firo above growled angrily in an
pwer, nod the black smoke purled into
the room like the rank and destructive
. breath of a demon.
' Let each man see, that his weapon i
loaded. Take care, gals! Stand back
as far as you can from the flame and
smoke. There's a buruin' cinder cn your
dress, Miss lluth it blazes!'
It is out,' said Podijah, composedly,
smothering the incipient glow with hi?
great hand.
' We must rush out two abreast,' said
Hutter. 'Podijah and I will go firt-t
ilnzlehur-t you and lilinko keep near the
ladies, jslinko be brave, and use those
large arms of your to some purpose
Give 'em the contents of the blunderbuss
in the face and eyes, then club it and
break their head.'
'les, mars'r Tom. This chilo know
what he 'bout. Habbent fo'yitdat bang

Oh, golly, didn't it hurt when dey run

breff like. You stood by me, mars'r Tom,
aul I'll stand by vou. Lor'I won't I
make dis ole blunderbuss spoke to 'era,
de minute I hab a chance to obsquintify
'cross de sights!'
The parties were now driven to the re
motest corner of the room by their new
and irresistable enemy, which was gath
ering strength aud fierceness with fright
ful rapidity. Hutter unfastened the door
and the fresh access of the air gave addi
tional fervor to the conflagration. He
Ftood a moment alone in the outpouring
smoke, but not a shot was fired from the
conccalod and watching foe.
There is no help for it,' added Tom
'We must try it now ur never Podijah!'
'At your side!' responded the Yankee,
who exposed himself to danger as if he
bad been accustomed to it from ehildhood
The walls shook with great vehemence
ot the Ore, and there was a warning creak
aud groan among the tumbiiug joint aud
trecabliug rafters.
The roof will fal) in a moment!' cried
Hazleburst. 'We arc ready. Quick,
Ilutter, quick!
SThe heart of Tom Ilutter swelled with
.aoaurage and resolution; hia form dilated;
muscles quivered Jor tne contest,
To the right, friends to the right!
IVeep under tue smoke as much as you
can and stoop as you go.'
They glided unmolested to the end of
the dwelling.
'Now for the shrubbery indirection of
Laurel swamp! whispered Hutter.
'A crisis approaebos. Dear youn" la
dies, be brave!' admonished Paul, whose
steady boarinz and flashiug eyes told
that he was ready to do battle for the fair
beings under bis protection.
Now for a dash fast, faster stoop
cFve as small a mark to the enemy as
possible!'
When two or three rods from the burn
Tag building, the flames shot up with in
creased brilliancy, throwing a strong
glare upon the fugitives. A dozen men
sprang from the grass aud foliage to dis
pute their progress.
'Stop!' Bhouted jx voice that was start
linjfly familiar to Jessie4I3urnside.
Down!' thundered Hutter, springing
''toward him with a fierae4 bound, and aim

uneaual conflict.

Ilazlchurst.
The maidens ran like frightened deer
but tboir defenders had the mortification
to see two Tories in pursuit of them, with
out being able to go to their assistace.
Overpowered by numbers, they gave
ground, but inch by inch. They were
bruised and bleeding; they began to des
pair. Take 'em alive, that we may have the
pleasure of hangiu' 'em!' shouted Yantas
slo. A single rifle shot rang sharp and
deadly through the air. A Tory, who
was pressing Hard upon Ilutter, threw
up his arms and fell dead at the feet of
his comrades.
'Ilounds of hell!' cried a thundrous
voice. 'You love" blood and slaughter
and courage; you shall have it!'
iSn athletic man, with a black patch o
ver his left eye, a rifle slung at his back,
a pistol in each band, and a large sabro
swinging at his side, appeared in the
midst of the Tories as if he had suddenly
fallen from the clouds. He fired his pis
tols and unsheathed his sabre.
Tremble, miscreants, . for One-eyed
Saul is among you!'
The sabre flashed like lightning around
the stranger's head. The tones of hit
voice, the fierceness of his countenance,
and the fatality of his arm. struck terror
and consternation to tho hearts of the To
ry renegades. The survivors turned and
fled for life.
Gowardsl wretches! come back, and 1
will-meet you single-handed'
One-eyed Saul looked widely around and
laughed mockingly, then turning to Hut
ter aud his panting and bleeding com
panions, and pointing in the direction the
girls bad fled, exclaimed:
Why do you stand here! After them
after them for they need your help.
There are shrieks, yonder; away away!
It is Saul of Laurel Swamp that com
mands you. I have work to do work
to do! I must go this way and that way,
and there is no rest for my feet nor shel
ter for my head this night.'
With these words, rapidly and vehe
mently uttered, One-eyed Saul strode a
way, and in an instant was lost to view.
CHAPTER IV.
IN T II E SWAMP.
Canting' anxious looks behind them, the
fair fugitives saw the flames of their
burning home, and groups of men strug-
"liur iu the lizbt of the red glare. It
WW t '
was a mournful, thrilling spectacle, and
they hurried on to escape it. Jupe, who
bad proved courages and active, encour
aged them by precept and example.
Ruth Haviland, being a little behind her
companions, heard the footscps of pureu
era and admonished ber friends of thi
lact, wno needed no new stimulus to ex
cite them to the greatest effort of which
they were capable. They reached the
Swamp and took shelter in it like fright
ened birds. The Laurel was well nigh
impenetrable; innumerable vegetable
arms were stretched out to oppose them,
a net-work of viues and branches dispu
ted their passage. Their hands were lac
erated by contact with coutinually pro-
jeeung poiuis, and snreus or tneir gar
ment were left upon brake and briar.
Urgiug their way along in the darkness
and terrible intricacy, they soon and un
willingly became separated, while their
attempts to find each other involved them
in new labyrinths. Torn, bleeding, faint
4ing witlx tear. ..and.cxnAustiopi .Jessie
Uurnside sank upon the earth
For a time her physical and mental fac
ulties where in such a whirl of a tempest,
tbat the consciousness of everything a
round her seemed slipping away from her,
ibere remained with her only a heavy
realization of something fearful and
shocking. At length the chilluess of the
ground and the niht air cooled her fe
vered system and restored her coherency
or tuougut. bho raised herself and sup
ported her head upon her baud. Her
disheveled tresses, and disordered gar
ments, and her lacerated person reminded
her of the ordeal through which she had
passed. Ibere was a lattico work of
vines around and above her. She tho't
of the sudden change of her circumstan
ces. When tho sun weut down last, she
bad a comfortable and beloved home;
now she had none, but was a hunted,
persecuted fugitive, cowering in a dark-
somo swamp, the resort of wild beasts
and lawless men. She could not be bo
Bel fish as not to think of her companions.
V bere were they! She shuddered at the
possibility of what might have befallen
there. A painful recollection in regard
to her brave defenders added unspeaka
bly to tho distraction of her mind. Far
off in the depths of the swamp she heard
the shriek of the panther, ihe howl of the
wolf, and the dismal notes of the owl.
Frigfctfal contrast to the peace and seu
ritj of Lssrejwoodi Looking upward
hroueh the tenacious foliage into the dim
sky, she beheld n blaok cloud of Smoke
all tbat rcmaineu oi uui tuuci a mauoiuu
save a lew cuaucu uuu omuuiuniug
brands that still sent up mournful mcense
from the family hearthstone. She wept,
prayed for it is upon God, at last, that
tbe tossea, stricken, ana uiappoiuiuu
mind turns. The instincts and and ex
perience of the whole human race prove
beyond tbe shadow ot question, that ne
alone oanconfer hope and consolationupon
tbe bereaved, afflicted, and world-crushed
soul. Prayer to Him made ber calmer.
A strange, balmy influence, unexpected
and sweet sto e into ber bein. bbe
would not, she did not quite despair.
There wa3 a sound in the laurel bedg-
eB one llaioneu witu every auusts awaw;
Persons were there working their way
through the tangled masses in the direo
tion of ber covert. J heir progrei-s wa?
slow and difficult. She beard muttereu
elites and imprecations. Her fears were
immeasurably increased, for the voice ,o
Martin Vantassie was so odious, and
made so many disagreeable impressioos
upon her memory, that she could not bu
rflpntmize its slightest tones. She shrank
a o ,
and crouched to mother earth for protec
tion, as the startled partridge hides iisel
beneath a bough or in the friendly brake
to escape the hurtling shot of tho hunter.
Discovery appeared inevitable, for the
crackling of the limbs'and the struggling
and the low-breathed oursescamo nearer
and nearer.
'Perdition seize these brambles V ex
claimed Vantassie. 'One can neither
tand up nor lay down, go forrard nor go
back 1'
Jessie heard the speaker cast himself
recklessly upon the ground a few yard
from her. The laurel bent and complains
ed beneath his weight, communicating a
wave of motion to the vines around her.
A volley of oaths followed the remark.
You're in bad temper, Cap'n,'said au
other, who proved to be Simou Arrow
smith. Who wouldn't be in a bad temper, to
be baffled in this way I' growled Vantas
sie. 'Twice the gal seemed to be in my
power to-night, and twice have I been de
feated by that uukuown devil, One-eyed
Saul of tho Swamp.'
'It's tho gal there's where the shoe
pinches. The loss of the silver phto i
what troubles me. 'Twas a fool's trick
to set the bouse a fire and burn it up ar
ter all. There were enough on us to take
Laurelwood by storm, and wo ought to
done it. I'd been content with the booty,
aud them tbat preferred it might had the
beauty, and welcome. Women are well
enough to do the cookin' and housework,
but as for bavin' one on 'era agin ber will,
I can't see no sense in it, though them
may have different views that ploase.
Whoever gets a chance too look among
the ashes yonder first, '11 git richly paid
for their trouble.'
'A greater treasure than all tbe plate
ofBurnside House has slipped through
my fiugers this night. Simon Arrowsmith,
who, in tho fiend s name, is this Une-cyed
Saul, who is sich a terror to our fellers all
along the Santee, especially iu the neigh
borhood of this cussed swamp ?'
'It's more'n I can tell, cap'u; but I know
tbat he fights like a burricaue, and is nev
er still. First you hear of him at oue
place aud then at another a long way off.
Ee goes from p'int to p'int like a race
horse, and allers leaves his mark on the
king's men. He has a burnin' hatred tor
Tories, and woo to them that he puts his
eye on for vengeance, for they dou't live
long arter. Jim Pollard has got some
thin' to do. I recon. I'm glad it wasn't
me that drew his name from the hat on
tbe nighkwo crossed our sabres over the
red blaze, and swore we seven to stand
by each other to the last, in all cases and
under all circumstances.'
'Poor luck we've had,' sneered Martin,
'though we bad the advautage in p'int of
numbers. There's seven on us matched
agin seven; we'll so how it' end.'
A dozen of us seemed to be no match
for four, to-night,' returned Arrowsmith,
morosely. I wonder if any of our stsven
got their quietus ? Satan takes care of
his own, they say.'
'We'll know to-night, when we meet at
tbe cypress tree. I got a broken skull,
and noticed that two or three others had
some ugly mark; but it's my opinion that
the seven will all turn up at tho proper
time. Some of our friends went under ;
tho bodies of a few were burnt in the
house, 1 s'pose, but it's tho fate of war,
and cau't be helped. It's Jessie Burn
side that worries me the most!'
Imagine tbe feelings of the young girl!
Picture to youraelf her trepidation, her
trembling horror, at tho proximity of vil
lams woose religion was passion and
plunder, and whose depravod instinots
uumeu inem 10 ine commission ot enor
mities too shookiug for the mind to dwell
upon. She was like the dove biding from
tho hawk the bare shrinking from the
teeth of the hound.
'All hope of the gal isn't lost yet,' said
Arrowsmith, hopefully. 'Merrick and
La dp ford follered 'em you know V
'How fur could they foller 'em through
tucee internal mesoos oi wood r
'As fur aa lhe frightened little bodies
could go. How do you think they could
fight their way through such difiikilties ns
these ? Why, they'd leave some of their
clothes at every etep, and wouldn't have
a rag left on 'em by the time they'd gone
a aozen rods. Think bow the pretty
aoars must have towi their soft flesh 1'
- Arrowsmith laughed, as if the idea
was a very pleasant one.
They couldn't go a great ways, that's
certain,' replied Martin, reflectively.
'They may bo 'thin ten yards of ua V
asserted Arrowsmith, with confidence.
Tbe effeet of this remark was anything
but neeeabie to Jessie, for the distant
u i - -
wa3 much less than tbe ruffian had Darned.
'We might look about some,' added
Arrowsmith. 'They'd bo ant to snuaele
into the fust hidin' nlnea rv nnmo v
lat's the way of the critters. When
they're frightened, they put their silly
bead uder tbe fust bush they find.'

Jessie heard Vantassie parting the lau
