'"'THE BO.kD AtiESfT.
My, route, wlich wt the cnlj
roai between the town of Irclon
and Chester, U.T for tlirty aiiea
through an mlmoet unbroken wilder
ness. The track had been badly cut
to pieces by recent rains, and my
progress was much slower than wm
either safe or pleasant. Sonset found
me still many miles from my destina
tion, and In no very comfortable
frame of mind, I bean to reflect on
the probabilty of a eight's lodging ii
the woods.
My horse stumbled so constantly
iatbe increasing darkness that I was
forced at length to allow bim to pick
bis way at a slow - walk. 1 bad ar
rived at particularly roogh part !
the road, and to make sore that no
pitfall lay bidden ia the obscurity
beyond, when a form sprang out of
the bushes and fetood beside me. Ib
the dull light 1 could preceire that
it was a small, slightly built man,
clad in shabby garments, ? with a
broad slouch bat concealing bis face,
and that he held a pistol in unpleas
ant proximity to my bead.
"What do you wantf 1 asked,
with what composure I could mas
ter. "Your money," was the answer.
"Fling it down into the road and
ride on."
The voice was singularly sweet
for a man a ruffian at that and
tbere was a tremor in it that belied
bis threatening air.
"The man is a coward," I said to
myself: then aloud. "Suppose Ire
fuse to comply with your very rea
sonable request, what then !"
"I shall blow your brains out,"
was the reply. "Throw me your
money, and be qnick absut it."
I raised my hand from my side as
if to comply with bis demand ; bat
instead of doing 60 I suddenly lifted
my riding whip and brought it down
upon the temple of my wsylayer.
The blow was a powerful one, and
be rolled under my horse's feet with
oat & sound.
Springing from my saddle to grap
ple with him, I found him prostrate
and insensible, with the blood flow
ing copiously from an ugly wound in
tfce forehead.
In the act of lifting his head upon
my arm, bis hat fell off, and a coil
of laxnriant brown hair fell over my
arm. Much astonished at this, 1
bent over the lifeless body, and be
held a pale, beautiful face, with small
delicate features, whose eiDresaion,
even in unconsciousness, was that of
mingled sadness and despair. My
assailant was a woman, young and
bearing traces of refinement about
her, despite her rough male attire.
After a little search I discovered
the weapon with with she had threat
ened me. It was an old pistol,
broken and unloaded. With an im
pulse that I did not stop to question,
1 thrust it in my pocket. Then I ex
amined the wound I bad inflicted.
It was a slight one, but would leave
a life-long scar upon the temple.
What should such a woman be do
ing in this desolate region? What
ribis of misfortune bad driven her
to an act so dangerous and unwo
manly ? There was no time to reflect
upon the matter, for she stirred
slightly, and a faint moan of pain
cime through ber lips.
With a sense of deep repose for
the violence I had done the poor girl,
I bound cp her wound with my
handkerchief and slipped a good por
tion of the money 1 bad about me
into the pocket of her coat. I felt that
her need for it must be desperate in
deed. After a moment her eyes opened,
Aid she gazed wildly around.
"What ha? happened !" she said,
confusedly. "Where is my father?"
Then she gazed at me wondering'
ly.
"Ob. I remember." she cried, la a
heart rending accent. Oh, sir, if you
know wbv I did it! Let me go to
mv father pray, pray, let me go!"
"You shall' eaid I, soothingly :
"I will take you to him, tor you are
not able to walk alone. Poor child !
it was a mistake and 1 was very
brutal. Sar no more, but lean on
me."
She obeyed in silence, and sling'
ing my horse's bridle over my arm,
I led her down the road until she
paused before a miserable but, whose
battered aspect and nniigntea win
dowB cave sorrowful evidence of
the poverty of the inmates.
As I released her she suddenly
seized my baud, and gazed op into
mv face appealing!?-, broke into a
passion of tears.
"I understand vou." I said. "No
one shall ever know what has occur-
ed to-night from my lips. No wrong
has been done except through my vt
oleace; and I hope you will forgive,
Now go to your father.
Waving mv band in farewell, I
spranir npon mr borse and rode
away.
Cautious inquiry in the next town
elicited the fact that the but I had
seen was occupied by an old man of
the name of Windsor and bis daugb
ter. July. They bad ccme from the
East some three years previous, and
kid evidently eeen better days. Even
now miserably poor as they wore,
they preserved a dingy, aristocratic
seclusion, S3 that the neigbborbood
knew little about them and cared
less. How they lived my informant
could not guess. The father had
been in feeble health for a long time,
Tel the daughter, a fragile, delicate
girl, had found the means to sopport
b'.m.
I had learned one of these 'means,'
and I went away with a deeper re
fpect for Julia Windsor than I had
ever felt for a woman.
Two vears later found me perm a
ccntlv established in New York. I
bad nearly forgotten mv adventure
with the road agent and should have
forgotten it altogether but for the
old pistol, which I still retained.
One evening daring a reception at
the bouse of a friend, I observed
among the guests a lady whose face
seemed strangely familiar to me,
Where I bad met her before I could
not remember ; but there was some
thing in ber appearance that I reccg
nized ratter bv the heart than the
mind.
On inquiring who she was, I
learned she bad lately returned from
the We6t with ber father, who bad
experienced severe reverse of fortune
some years before, but bad recently
regained bis property. Her name
tbey told me, was Miss Lee.
1 bad never known any one of
the name, yet I certainly knew ber.
While I was puzzling myself for
solution of the mystery, one of the
heavy braids which covered her fore-
bead fell at ide, ana l saw a small red
scar on ber temple. Then I knew
ber it waa my would-be robber,
Misa Lee or Julia Windsor; I could
cot be mistaken in ber identity.
As may be readily imagined, 1
waa sot long ia seeking aa introduc
tion to ber. If, on ber part, fche rec
ognized me, she maintained ber com
posure admirably. A red spot, ris
ing in ber cheek and fading instantly,
was the only sign of anxiety that 1
conld detect. ' " ; "
If I bad thought ber beautiful ia
her male attire, two years before, I
found her doubly ao now. The ex
preision of care and grief bad pass
ed oat of her face, but it bad left its
traces in her soft eye and in the trem
ulous outline of her mouth. Aa air
of qaiet thoofrbti'ulness the repose
of a soul heavily chastened with sor
row had a supreme charra for me.
I bad not been sitting near ner lea
minutes before it became painfully
apparent to me that my SDlitary life
was a very cold and ei5ah one.
Thi beantifal girl bad lived and lov
ed and suffered for another. It her
experience had been a sad one, it bad
likewise been noble. Somehow my
adventure with ber that memmorble
eight seemed to give me a ngui, i
her regard. Perhapi it was becau?e
I bad never forgotten her, and that
the simple memory of ber kept ber
alwavs close to me.
Be' that as it may, when I left ber
that night it was ia a very unhappy
frame of mind. Emotions bad been
arouped in me that would not be put
asleep again. For the first time in
my life I knew what love meant
love for a large-hearted noble wo
man. I bad hoped that I bad secured
the means of a familiar intercourse
with Miss Lee, by which I might be
enabled to enlarge my acquaintance
with her. Bat I soon found that I
was mistaken. Converse wkh her I
might, but not freely. Enter her
house when and so often as I chose,
but ber sympathy not at all. She
seemed to hold me firmly at a dis
tance. Witt all my efforts, I could
noi even establish a cool friendship
between ns.
Did she remember me, then, and
bate me for my knowledge of that
dark event ia ber past history f
Could she not see that I loved ? Or
was it because, while sacrificing her
self for ber father's sake, I had in
flicted the wound whose scar she
would carry to the grave? Either
way I was supremely unhappy.
Six months elspsH before I sum
moned up the courage to put her feel
ing toward me to the test. One af
ternoon I entered her presence firmly
resolved to declare my love for her
and abide the result. I could not be
more miserable than I was, and my
love might at least teach ber to re
spect me. ' '
She was alone when I entered.
Some thing ia my face must Lave
alarmed her, for she rose hastily,
and would have left the room had I
not called her back.
"Julia Windsor," I said calmly,
''will you hear me ?" '
"That is not my name," she falter
ed, turning very white.
"No; but it was your name that
night, ia the far West, when yon
pointed a pistol at my bead and de
manded my money. Do you remem
ber that night r"
She made no reply for a moment,
but stood with her face avert; tben
she suddenly turned and confronted
me with a gesture of contempt
"Yes, I do remember," she answer
ed passionately. "Am I likely to
forget it while this, inflicted bv
your bauds, remains?" She pushed
back ber bair and laid ber finger up
on her temple. "You struck me down
but to pay me for my wound you
left your money in my pocket. It
saved my father's life for that I
thank you. But you may cancel all.
Go tell the world what you know.
Wake the tongue of slander against
me. tar mat once npon a time l
lived ia abject poverty, under aa as
sumed name, and that to succor a
perishing father I robbed passengers
upon the road, ia male attire, l do
not fear you."
"lou need fear me nothing," I an
swered, quietly, "except that I shall
love vou too much , for. vour noble
sacrifice" i ? J t i
Love me !" she echoed, looking at
me euddenlv with filling eyes.
thought that you despised me for my
unwomanly action."
Then you wronged me deeply,"
I returned, approaching and taking
her hand. "My remembrance of
that nigkt is full of admiration and re
spect. Since I bave learned to love
you bow truly, I have no words to
say.'
But I threatened yoa with a
pis-
tol," she answered demurely. .
"It was harmless," I returned smil-
ini. "I kept it I bave ' it home
now." . " .
"Do yoa remember the handkercbeif
with which yoa bound my head V
she asked, shyly. .i "More faithful
to the spirit of that night than to
yon, I bave always kept it near me,
I have it now."
"Julia, said I, earnestly, "answer
me truly, why ?"
"Because"' she returned, lifting ber
soft eyes to mine, "I loved yoa from
that hour. When I saw yoa again
my love took new strength,, and
though I felt that yoa despised me,
it remained unshaken, as it shall to
my dying hour."
"My darling," I said stooping to
kies ber upturned face, "on that night
yoa , robbed me of more than my
purse. You made wholly yours my
heart, my life, my future happiness."

Tub St. Paul Pianccr Press esti
mates that the farmers of Minnesota
will realize $40,009,000 for their
wheat crop this year. Tbe Chicago
Timet thinks the utmost expectation
of tbe wheat crop of 1879 is 390,950,
000 bushels, agkinst 425,000,000
bushels in 1S7S.
Thirty-six years ago the Islm d
of Samoa bad a population of 34,0 0,
all of whom were barbarians. ' Tl e
population now numbers 80,000, tbe
majority of whom are Christians. In
the tbcologfcal seminary are sixty
students, and twenty missionaries
are sent out every year to the neigh
boring islands. j
Canada, as regards population, Is
about at a stand stilL There are as
many emigrate from tbe Dominion
to tbe United State as emigrate
every year from Europe to the Do
minion. The United States get tbe
worst of it however as tbe scum yoa
may say comes over witbia its bord
ers. , When it ceases to be healthy
for a Canadian to stay ia bis own
country any longer, he leaves and
comes over the line into the United
States.. . 'j
A singular story comes from the
Maine State prison. James A. Low
ell wts conicted in 1873, at Lewis-
ton, of tbe murder of bis wife, Lizzie,
whose supposed skeleton had bten
found in the woods. Lowell : wts
sentenced to be hanged, but the sen
tence was commuted tt imprisonment
for life. It is now ascertained that
Mrs. Lowell is living in Saginaw,
Michigan, as the wife of a man named
Spalding, and that she does not deny
her identity. Lowell when on trial
had claimed that his wife ran away
with an employee of a circus.
