. MY HOST.
A HSghfra Adventure.
My business called tne throngh the north
ern part of the State of Illinois. I crossed
the Illinois river at Uttswa. intending to
stiike Ilork river at Foster'! Mill. Foster
wat an old friend, who had gone nut some
yean before, and erected a mill upon one of
the triuutnnea or the last mentioned river,
he haviug bought. a whole township in that
lection. It wai out of rny way, at my trios t
direct route was very nuur due. west from
Ottawa, whereat this route took me over
aixty inilei farther north. However, I had
learned that there wat quite a good road to
Itotk river, and ban turned my horse s head
In that direction. I calculated my limn, and
'concluded, that by moderate travelling I
could reach the mill in two days. During
the 'first day my road lay through a country
moBtly cleared, and was well traveled ; but
on the second day 1 struck into a wilder
region, and the way wai little better than a
bridle path 'through a dense forest. I passed
teveral clearings, where small kuu were
erected, and at one of these latter, I stopped
and Jfot tome dinner. 1 found a young man
io charge of the premise's, the father having
gone to "the mills.'' I asked what mills they
meant, ar.d the old ludv laid they were "Fos
ter'! Mills." From these people, 1 learned
that Foster'! place was forty anles distant,
aid that the only dwelling, after leaving two
near by, between here and there, was a sort
of stopping place, kept by a man named
Dauiel Uroonie. They said he generally
kept food fur man and beast. El is house was
twelve miles to the mills. This just suited
me. 1 could reach Grootne'i by six o'clock,
and there get some supper, and rest and "bait
my horse. Then I could easily reach Foster's
by ui'oe, as the moon was well on itt second
quarter. The food -people refu3ed to take
anything for my dinner, but 1 bestowed half
a dollar upon fluxeo-beaded urchin who
wat trotting around trpon hit bar feet,, and
then set forward again. There was another
hut at a distance of half a milo, aad 4 second
about a mile off. J saw ito,1mre human tiub-
itutieni until I reuched Xiroorrte's. 1 found
the traveling full at good a, 1 expected, and
arrived at the TuVeet inn Just at half past
five. This inn was litnated npon a romantic
spot, aud to a loveT of isolated nature, must
have been a 'charming retreut. The bouse
wi, 'built of logB. TGere were three separate
building, to tint bouse, tbe principal one
being built with the gable end to the road,
and the other two upon either tide, running
out like two L't. Then there wat a barn a
abort distance olT, with a piggery connected.
Take it altogether, it was tfte a place Tor
such a locality. A tmali Stream ran close
by, ao that water wai pleTrtilul. Ai 1 rod
up to the door Mr. liroome himself came out.
lie was a tall, eauul man.
with liery Ted
head, and face as coarse as it was ngly.
Hut 1 was surprised when 1 heard his Voice,
1 bad expected a tone like the bellow of a
bull ; bul instead uf that, hii note full npon
my ears like tbe apeecti jf a woman. He
tuiiled at be spoke, and 1 thought to myself,
r , 1 .
uow uis appearance wuuiu ueceive any oiii,
for in conversation be auvnied a different
man. 1 informed brm that 1 wa, 00 my way
to roster mill, and 'could only stop long
auougu' to real my home, and get some (upper,
He gazed into myTsce some moment, without
doeakintf. and finally said :
An yei uuinpii. ' l oen be turned into
the entry, aud called "Ike." Ik came 1
tall, strapping youth, of otie or two aud Iwen
ty witu a red bead, and features lucu as
could belong to bo one bat a child of my
host. Ike look my burse, and Mr. Uroonie
led the way to tbe "tilting room," as be
called it. It was rough bul cuiulorlable.aad
lb furuitur consisted of a pine and a ma.
botany buresa, and four long pine benches
abicb were tut atainsl the wall, luerw
were no chairs, these benches being sudi
cient to accommodate quite an assemblage.
Uroome asked me if 1 would like something
warm. 1 supposed he meant whiskey, and 1
told bim no. lie ,aiu 1 bad better lake a
little 'twould do urn good. But 1 assured
bun I never uted II that 1 felt belUr With

"But do yoa mean that yon never drink

Yes," I told bim, "I wish to Re my
friend, and I ibull gain considerable time by
reaching hi! place to-night." .
"Is he eipectia' ye!" Groome asked.
"No," I answered. .
"Perhaps he don't know that you're io tbii
lection at all t"
"No, be doesn't." I laid ; tnd I expected
that my host would urge ma to itay with bim
until morning, to 1 had my aniwen all pre

urge any aucb thing.' On tbe contrary, be
laid he thought I wai wise io my determina

would be better for oj to push oik I wai
quite relieved. . . '
It wanted a quarter to levan when my
hone wat brought to tb door. 1 took out
my wallet: and asked what was td na.
"Haifa dollar." I paid It. and then asked
hirh wat the most direct route.
"Yno bco that biir tree, lust over the K.

tbe young man who bad taken charge of mv

by the very stream which gave Foster bis
uiill power, and that the road followhd
itream direct.
"Ob " laid my both tnrninir and lnnl!n" !
off toward the slreaat, "that road ain't fit to

"But what'! the matter with Itt" I asked.
"Why, tbe bridge! are all washed away.

1 told bim my hoise would stand it well
enough, and tbeu asked Where tha other road
struck lb ttreum.
"About three miles this side of tha mills,"
be replied.
It's all cleat and direct r
"Yet. You can't mist th way."
1 bade my boil good-bye, and then itarted
oti. 1 didu't. like tbe idea of a new road at
all. The youth, before ineutioued had told
m what au excellent road it wat from
Orooiny t to tbe mill by th river road. 11
laid it followed the stream, which Wat very
near straight, aud thai it wus light and open
thn whole dtstunce. However, of course,
Uroonie know, io 1 must take tbe belt of it.
1 looked back a! 1 reached the edge of the
wood. I wai upon a gentle eminence, and
could overlook tbe shrubbery I had passed,

palb was plain, enough, aud bad evideully
been at some lime traveled road. Aye, I
remembered uow, of having beard my in
foruiaut of the noontime speak of th "old
road." lie laid there used to be a road
leading to Rock river, but when Foster com
menced bit settlement, a new roud was
opened by lb stream, aud tbe old on dis
continued. He had laid nothing about any
bridges. At the distance or two miles, 1
came to a place where a bed of land lay
across the road. It wai a aort of sully, and
a stream must at some time have ruu there.
1 luoked, but taw no track upon it. Water
had awept across since auy living thing bud
troddeu it. 1 slid from my laddie, and ex-
auiioed thoroughly: but 1 could find 110

it grew dark in th deep wood; but the
moon was already np, and a her beam, fell
lengthwise npon th road, tbe gav me con

used to tbe transition. Half an hoar bad
passed since I looked to my pistols, and Just
ai I began to wonder if I had been mistaken,

In a moment I knew it was in advance of

awe-struck and condemned. It was a natural
feeling in such a presence. But when I cam
to reflect upon all that had preceded thn deed

I made the robbers horse fast to a tree, and
tbeu remounted and rode on. I reached tha
mills at half past nine, and I found Foster
and his family up. Tbey were glad to lee nie
and introduced me to a Mr. Price, whom I

the ball having madetolasmall wound though
it had passed clear through. A little way
within tbe wood, we found a place when tbe
ground seemed at ,ome tim to bare been
disturbed, and upon digging there, we found
two human bodies. Subsequently on mora
was fo'aiid only a Tew rods distaut. The bodv
of Uroonie wai taken up to his hoase. and
up to his boose, and 1
we found that Ike had fled, lie had proba-

Mrs. Uroome, who wai a mild, broken-

that tbe fear of death had kept her silent.

ns weekly letter! from one or nnother of tb
charming villages in the vincinity of Paris.
In a letter from the Forest of Bondy, he tells
the following lingulur story, in exhibition of
tbe wonderful poweri of Uarrick t
Tbe celebrated Knglish actor Ourrick made
a trip to Peril in' 1757, when be wat at tha
height of hit talent, and famsr. Ho did not,
ai many of our artist, do now, make Ihe t x.
curtion forth purpose of speculation, he did
not come to Paris to perforin and make mo
ney 11 travelled fer amusement, a mere
tourist, aoxiout to visit a beautiful country,
which be might partly claim .for his own. The
family of the Knglish acter ' of F rench
origin they fled the country 1 the revo
cation of the Edict of N'anu-4. . ! tha mail
coach which bore thetri from Lemon to Do
ver, Uarrick found for a fellow t seller, Sir
Ueorge Lewis, a gentleman he bad met lever
ai times before in company, and had known
for a constant frequenter at Drnry Lane
Theatre. They took adranlsg of this casual
encounter to improve tbeiry acquaintance;
each wai delighted with the l!r. After
crossing the channel together, Vlj came to
Paris in th tame vehicle,- but when they
reached thit capital they separated. The
actor went to tbe bouse of the friends who
were expecting; bim, and Sir Ueerge Lewis
took op his lotlgidgs in one of thote splendid
furnished houses of the Quartier dela Chaui
u d'Antin, which than began to be a very
fashionable quarter of tbe town. The two
travelling companions had promised to tee a
great deal of each other daring their slay in
Part, but the very different life each of them
led rendered it impossible for them to exe
cute their resolution!. Sir U,org Lewi,
wii a man between forty-five aud fifty years
old, with a very singular face, whose irregu
lar and prominent features made hit physiog
nomy most eccentric and expressive.
Daring the whole journey Warrick had ad
mire that countenance, thinking what an ef
fect it would produce on the itage. Despite
bii age, which should bav ceoled the ardor
of character, and have engaged bim to aban
don tb folliet of youth. Sir Ueorge Lewis
lived in the midst of dissipation and pleasure.
He had come to Paris to amuse himself by
gaily spending a large legacy unexpectedly
bequeath to him. He wat passionately fond
of gaming, and the satisfaction of this passion
led hint into a very mixed company, as indeed
ar all companies where gambling il indulged
inco these men ar valued by tha mm of
money they are ibl or willing to (take on
card,, a test which allow, many (harper, to
slip in. The actor lived in a very different
lort of society, and during tbe four months
of their stay iu Parii tho two travelling com
panions scarcely met above two or three timet
Just as he was about leasing for London Uar
rick called npon Sir George 'Lewi,, to bid
bim good-bye and enquire if he bad any com
mnnds for London. To hii horror be wai
informed that the unhappy gentleman had
been assassinated the previous evening. His
body bad been found that very morning in
tbe Forest of Bondy, covered with wound,
aud lyiug bathed in blood.
Deeply touched, Uarrick exerted himself
to ascertain ad much ai possible of the details
of this deplorable event. He found that Sir
Ueorge Lewis had been one of a party of
pleasure to visit a chateau in th environs of
liofldy, where a large company of sportsmen
and ganiblert w assembled. II intended
to remain there tome day,. The first even-
in? of his visit he won a laree sum of money
at the gaming table. In the afternoon or the
aecond day he received a not from Paris,
engaging him to a gallant rendezvous, and
immediately on receipt of it, ba bade adien to
the company. They tried to retain bim, lets
out of politeness, perhaps, than the desire of
winning back the money be ban taken irom
tbem, and this desire was to vehement a, to
carry to the resolution of dismounting bia

of will, and be determined to return to Paris
on horseback. He leaped on bii horse ami
galloped away. Further than thii Uarrick
ceuld learn nothing. The police were inclined
to believe tbe catastrophe one or me usual
adventures then frequent in tbe forest of
Bondy ; but Uarrick pointed out to them
thai Sir George Lewis' pistols were found
loaded and in bis bolsters, and that while his
purse bad been taken from bim, his gold
watch, gold muff box snd diamond ring were
fouud nntouched. from which he concluded,
firstly, that Sir Ueorge Lewis bad not been
attacked by banditti, nul oy tome acquain.

and tecondly, that tbo personal property lay
untouched merely because me roooer was
afraid of compromising himself. Therefore
tbe assassin wat an acquaintance of Sir Geo.
Lewis, and moved in the soxmui circle io
which the knight belonged. The society as-
seinbled at lb chateau was then secretly
kcanued by Uarrick and the police, nnd sus
picion alighted npon ao Italian called the
Chevalier Uaetan. Thi, Italian wai proved
to hare nuitted tha chateau shortly after Sir
Georire Lewis, and, despite bis explanations,

b brou. hi against bim, and the noble pro
prietor of the chateau, who wat naturally very
auxout that no such cloud as a crime should
rest npon his "friends," used every exertion
to procure tbe liberation of the Italian.
At the moment Uarrick intervened. He
begged tb police to allow bim to make an
experimeut which he declared was decisive.
