AY NATHAN D. CBNER
"Hi, there, young fellow !
for
heaven's gate, take me across!"
I was taking mv regular afternoon
practice in a hearj working boat, on
the rire r Thame?, preparatcrr to the
sculling races which were to come
off in less than s fortnight, and for
which I had been entered, with
number of other crack oars from the
college to which I belonged, when
tbe words above quoted were called
oat to me, ia a loud panting, excited
voice, from tbe wooded and lonely
shore that I bad approached.
I soon perceived tha speaker mak
ing bis way to the vcrr edge of the
water, where stood with blood
streaming trom bis nose, his face like
a rhost'd, bis dress disordered, bis
hat preyed tightly over his tem
ples, bis long hair banging like elf-
locks about bis face, and bis bands
onutretched piteously toward me, as
be wildly repeated bis appeal.
no, ior Heaven a sake, take me
over, sir ! Tbe devils are after me !"
"What devils?" I said, interested
in fpite of my ill humor ai beiae in
terrupted at my favorite exercise.
The bailiffsthe bailiffs !" be le
peated.
"Oh, I can't go to jail ! Mr wife
mv children
I was eafficieatlv harrased by
debt at the college to bave my heart
touched at this. I at once backed mv
boat against tbe bank, at the same
time cautioning him about getting
in, ior the working craft, unwieldly
enough for one was dangerous for
two ; and as soon as he was iair;y
aboard, I took the water with my
long sculls, snd begaa t move
across.
"Faster! faster I Can'l yoa bear
'em coming?' feverishly cried my
queer passenger, while just then a
confused rearing and shooting began
to make itself andible behind tbe
copse. I laughed at bU nervousness,
cautioned biu that the blood from
bis noee was dripping on bis trows-
ers, and then gave way with a wilL
Compelled to steer for myself, I
occasionally turned my head to see
where I was going. Once, after so
doing, I faced my passenger, and saw
him watching anxioasly some circles
in the water just astern, as though be
might bave thrown something over
board ; but supposing that they might
bave keen caused by a fish jumping,
I said nothing.
I made the oppesite bank in a few
minutes, for tae ibames was very
narrow at this point, and the man.
having scrambled ashore, darted in
among tbe trees, and disappeared
without saying "leant too,'7 or any
thing eUe as though tbe fiends were
at bis beels.
I laughed again at bia mad baste,
and rowed leisurely along toward my
favorite) inn on the river' bank. As
did so I beard the voices of tbe
poor devil's pursuers growing nearer
and nearer and plainer, until 1 made
out the cries of "Murder! mur
der!" I laughed again at what I tboogbt
was a dodge tbe bailiffs were using
to get op a crowd in pursuit of a poor
runaway, whose only crime was per
baps an arrears of rent, or a publi
can's extortionate bill ; and, though
I presently heard tbe - voices calling
on me' to step, I only quickened my
stroke, knowing tbat I would be at
The Jolly Oarsmen" almost as soon
as any cf them conld get across the
towpath, which was on the other side
of tbe river, and much tbe nearest i
way for foot passengers.
. So, rather tickled at having outwit
ted tbe bailiffs tbecoliege boys' nat
ural enemies in those days 1 spurt
ed down to "The Jolly Oarsmen,''
put up my boat, and joined a lot of
oar fellows in the bagatelle room,
without saying anything of what bad
happened.
in a little while, however, a hoarse
cry of "Boat! boat!" from the tow
path opposite, caused us all to rush
out.
Gathered npoa the farther bank
were a dcaen or so excited men, two
of whom were at once ferried over to
the inn. One of them pointed to tbe
row of wherries "and " skiffs' moored
along the float and asked .with an
authoritative air :
"Which of these bats came in
last?"
Tbe boat-keeper at ccce pointed to
the one 1 bad occupied.
"And which of yoa young gentle
men," be continued, taming to cs,
"rowed down in this boat ?"
1 gave ray comrades the wink, and
we answered bim with a laugh cf
Ecornful indifference.
"It is really no joking matter, gen
tlemen," said the ether of tbe two,
who waf a little milder spoken than
bis partner, though equally ia earn
est. "We bad a warrant for the ap

prehension of a criminal, who gave
us the slip a little while . ago. He
bolted for the river, and we saw him
landed on the other side by a sculler,
who was dressed just as you young
gentlemen are. If it was one of you,
it will be only a doty for bim to step
out."
"What bad tbe fugitive been do
ing?" labked, with an air of indif
ference.
"He is suspected," replied the oDi
cer, solemnly, "of being a murderer."
"bless me I I put bim across," I
exclaimed, suddenly, horror stricken.
"He said the bailiffs were after bim."
"I dare say," cried the officer iron
ically. "I suppose yon, didn't see
which way be went?"
"No," I answered, disconsolately.
"He disappeared in the woods direct
ly after landing. By Jove I I'll do
anything to rectify ; my error,
though!"
"bnoum you enow tne man
again ?"
"lea, i watcnea Dim narrowly as
he eat facing me," naid I. "I noticed
among other things, that be bad lost
two front teeth, and that be had an
India ink star tattooed on his left
wrist."
"Did be throw anything into tbe
river?"
I started as a sudden recollection
flashed across my mind. "
"Yes, now I am Bure he did," I
cried, "though at first I thought tbe
circles I saw astern might have been
caused by a fish jumping."
"Could yoa point ont the spot?"
"Within a yard or two."
"And now, sir," continued the offi
cer, "I must ask your name and ad
dress." I complied readily enough, though
not without a secret shrinking. Then
Sergeant Dobbs, as the . chief officer
was called, went away with bis com
rade, after promising to lst me know
from time to time how be succeeded
in bis search.
A week passed without my hearing
anything of the case, and I had
grown so nervous and sleepless with
thinking about it that I at last sought
relief by hunting up the Sergeant at
V , a little seaport town not
far away, at which be made bis
headquarters.
He was glad to see me, saying I
had just arrived in the -nick cf time,
when be was about to write to me ;
and be cordially accepted my iovita
tion to dine with me at "The Red
Lion" inn where I was etoppiog in
V "
He was as good as bis word ; we
enjoyed an excellent repast; and, af
ter tbe cloth was removed, and we
were sitting together over our wine
and cigars, he made the following ex
planation : '; j
"The man we are fir. aod .the!
same you undoubtedly ferried across
the river, is one Jack Barstow, who
is accuadd of being the murderer of
the old toll-gate keeper and his wife,
at Liscombe Crossroads, over a
month ago. Yoa remember tbe af
fair ? It took place not a dozen miles
from your school house, and made a
big sensation at the time."
I nodded in a bewildered way, too
much surprised, in fact, to resent
his disparagement of my college by
calling it a school louse.
"Well, the inquest after the mar
der was an open one ; bat there was
sufficient evidence developed later to
cause an issue of warrant for Jack's
arrest, which was placed in my bands.
He bad been emnloyed at the toil-
house, bad disappeared directlr after
tbe discovivy of the murder, and of
the robbery that bad accompanied it,
and there una other evidence against
him. I Lai never seen the fellow
when the warrant was given to me,
and only got near enough to Bee bim
indistinctly for the first time on the
day be gave us the slip oat of tbe
hiding place into wb:cb we bad track
ed him, and when yoa unwittingly
blocked our game by ferrying bim
across the river. But, though yoa
spoiled our business for cs that day,
I think yoa can make good tbe blan
der by identifying tbe man for us. I
bave every reason to believe tbat be
is now in this town, intending to ship
for Calcutta to-morrow. Here it is,
in a net-shell. If too can swear be
is tbe man yoa nut across the river.
I can swear that the man yoa pat
across is the man we chased ; and
there is evidence to prove that tbe
ma. we chased is Jack Barstow.
Whether be committed the murder or
not is another question "
"rut me to the test at once!" I
cried eagerly.
lour powers of identification will
be put on trial very shortly," said
tbe Sergeant, smiling. "Tbe suspect
ed man goes every night to a public
house here called 'Tbe Peaceful An
gler," which I keep well watched,
with euEicient force At band for all
emergenciec. He gives a sort of sup
per there to some ot bis new acquaint
ances at nine o'clock to-night. Yoa
and I will have to mingle unconcern
edly with others in the tap room If
yoa succeed in spotting your man
give me the tip, and I'll bave the
place stuffed with constables in less
than a minute."
1 expressed my acquiescence in tbe
scheme, and shortly before nine o'
clock we sauntered along to "Tbe
Peaceful Angler."
Tbe place was pretty wel! throng
ed with rather rough looking seaside
characters, but aa the Sergeant was
disguised as a drover, and I bad fort
unately retained my coarse boating
costume, we failed to attract anv
special attention. . .
Dobba exchanged a significant
glance with the bar maid, and thea
posted me so tbat I bad not only a
full view of tbe Up room and its in
mates, but also of a side room, com
municated with by wide, folding
doors, in which a table was being
laid lor a large sapper. Tbe table at
which we were seated was entirely
apart from the rest, and one at which
we could converse in a low tone
without being observed.
"See anything ia particular yet?"
whispered my companion present.
"Only an awful lot of rafSana," "i
replied, ia tbe same cautions tone.
"And tbe worst to look at II tbat
brute with tbe knobby ck in bis
band and a patch over ony jre."
"Ue. be, be! that's one of my
mates,-' cnuckied Dobbe. "He does
make op beautifully, too !"
"liar' i mattered, with a start,
as my eye was riveted by another
7.
man. "Yet, no it cannot be !"
"Did yoa think yoa bad spoiled
the right one?"
"Yes," I replied, cautiously point
ing ont tbe man in question, wbo ap
peared one of the loudest, and most
popular roysterersia the place: "bat
though I could swear to tbe ."man's
general loot and expression, it can
no: possibly be tbe same."
"At any rate, the man you indicate
is tbe man we suspect," said Dobbs,
fcti'.king to bis whisper, in spite of
bis eagerness. "He calls himself
Tom Jackson, is tho father of this
blow out to-night, and expects to ship
ior uaiicutta to-morrow."
"No matter; it cannot be tbe man
we seek," I replied, coldly.
"Why not!"
"Well the man I rowed over tbe
Thames was a white-faced fellow,
wnereas mis one is as brown as a
gypsy."
"Walnut juice is an old dodge ia
tbe way of disguise," 6aid Dobbs,
winking.
Then the man I ferried over," said
1, "bad long, tangled hair, whereas
this man's bead "
"There are plenty of barbers," in
terrupted the sergeant again.
"But," I whispered, a little angri
ly, "the man I rowed across tte river
bad lost two front tettb, and showed
a big Btar tatooed on his left wrist,
whereas this man's teeth seem en
tire, and "
"Mark the sticking-plaster on his
leit wrist, sir I" once more interrupt
ed the sergeant. "And let me tell
yoa that I bave beard of a dentist in

"1 should wish to be sure of it,"
said I, nevertheless feehnz the full
force of bis homely logic.

said jJobbP. "Will yea venture to
lean against one side of the folding
doors yonder, and look in, sort of
carelesslike, till yoa catch Tom Jack
son's eye, just to observe the effect
of your appearance on bim ?"
xonng, athletic and daring as I
was, I hesitated a monent
"I acknowledge there's danger,
sir," whispered the sergeant, quietly.
"It's a reckless lot of villains he's
standing snpuer to, but he's invited
my mate, yonder, wbo will of course,
be on your side. I shall be at the
bar, bere, and there'll be several
more of us within haiL" "Still, it's
ticklish business."
"I'll do it," said I, having my
pride up. "Depend on me and
wait."
"I went directly to the supper
room door, and leaning easily through
it, pretended to be looking for a fa
miliar face among the rough gang
now seated about the table, busily
engaged in eating, drinking, and
rude good fellowship.
I here were other oa lookers be
sides myself, and my scrutiny was
unheeded. Just as I looked through
tbe door, one of the feasters, cccupr-
ing the end of tbe table to tbe end of
my position, lifted bis beer-mug high
op, and, nodding pleasantly to Tom
Jackson, who sat at the other end,
to my right, cried out in a hearty
voice:
1 propose a toast, my lads! I
ain't much of a chap to jaw. so 111
give it short and sweet : 'Here's luck
to Tom Jackscn, the father o' this
feed, and may he have a jolly good
time abroad !' "
Then, as the man called Tom
Jackson prepared to return bis
thanks, and looked about him in
search of ideas, be suddenly caught
my eye. He instantlr dropped his
lower jaw, and stared at me as if I
was a ghost."
"How are yoa ?" said I, nodding
ia a friendly way, and sidling along
between tbe wall and the backs of
the feasters' chairs toward him. "I
think I have seen yoa somewhere
before."
"Servant, sir !" growled tbe giver
of the feast; "though I swear I
can't bring yoa to mind."
"Pr'aps the gent' '11 jine us, if he's
a friend o' yours, Tom," said one of
the ruffians, obligingly making room
for me.
I advanced to the table with alac
rity, while the disguised officer with
the eye patch and tbe nobby stick,
managed to interpose himself be
tween me and Jackson, and at the
same time two more men moved
singly about the room, so as to be be
tween the banqueters and the back
door.
"Try and Bee if yoa can't recollect
me," said I addressing Jackson still
more blandly.
"Didn't I put yoa across the up
per Thames in my boat ?"
Tbe man's brows blackened over,
and, after some hesitation he growled
cut:
"I don't know nothing about the
Thames, nor no boats, nor nothing of
tbe sort. You're welcome to some
punch or beer, though ; but yoa ain't
the party I first took yoa for."
"Then I mast be mistaken," said I.
"Bat 111 thank yoa for a drop of the
punch, and we'll drink to better ac
quaintance." Good humor was at once restored,
bat, aa we were raising our mags
and glasses, I suddenly turned to
Jackson again.
"What's the matter with roar
wrist?" Baidl.
"What tbe deuce is that to yoa ?"
was tbe fierce rejoinder.
"Mere cariosity," I answered, qui
etly. Don't take" offense."
"I dont want to take none, sir,"
returned Jackson, quieting down a
little ; "but I get riled at everybody
axin' me the same question. It's
only a little wound I got, and don't
amount to much."
And as be spoke be concealed Lis
left band under the table.
"Perbape yoa are not aware tbat
tbe plaster is working off," id I. "I
suppose tbe wound is nearly heal
ed." Atekson looked first at bis wrist.

for tbe complexion, a good dentist
for missing teetb, or a timely barbar

I snouted out the last words at the
top of my voice, which brought
Sergeant Dobba tumbling into the
room, with three or four coustables
at bis heels, iust as tbe unmasked
villain sprang to bis feet, with a
howl of rage, and a long carving
knife brandished ia bis fist.
"Lend a band, mates! Don't let
him take mo !" he roared
His ruffian mates were preparing
for a rescue, when Sargeant Dobbs
cried out: "It's a case of murder!"
whereupon they slunk aloof, and
looked helplessly at one another;
for British desperadoes, though oth
erwise standing together, seldom
support one another under a charge
of murder.
The criminal now made a most
desperate "resistance, single-handed,
but was speedily overcome and band
cuffed, without doing much barm to
anyone; and notwithstanding bis
piteouse allusion to his wounds,
when the plaster was stripped off to
make room for the irons, no worse
wound or scar was disclosed than a
tattooed .six-pointed Btar of long
standing.
Tom Jackson proved to be no oth
er than Jack Barstow, in whose sea
chest was subsequently found a suit
of clothes, some of which were stain
ed with blood. There was also found
a part of jointed burglar's imple
ments, tbe rest of which had been
dragged from the river bottom at the
point where tbe jumping fish, as I
at first though, bad caused the cir
cling npples at the stern of tbe boat,
on that momentous day when I fer
ried bim over tbe Thames.
I folly identified him in every par
ticular other criminating features
were added : and finally, at the trial,
two and two were put together by a
legal gentleman in so convincing a
manner, that a verdict of deliberate
murder was returned against Jack
Barstow, and be was banged by the
neck until be was dead.
This was all very well and proper;
but nevertheless, it was to thas ap
parently trivial adventure cf mine,
in ferrying a supplicating stranger
across the river, together with what
it led to, that I owed my defeat in
the college sculling match, for which
I had been preparing.
It interfered with mv "coaching,"
and cat up my practice with the
sculls to such an exteot tbat no
amount of conscientious hard pall
ing or desperate "spurting". could re
trieve.
iiojvever, my disappointment was
mitigated by a consciousness of hav
ing done my duty, and materiallv
assisted tbe course of justice.

HWEDES LETTER.
( From oar rczular eumwp.tileal. )
November 12, 1870.
Though Sweden is the greater
member of the Scandinavian Union,
she is somewhat unfairly eclipsed by
her Norwegian brother. 1 mysslf,
till I came here, held the charm of
Sweden in smalt esteem, compared
with the fiords acd mountains ot Nor
wsy. But an autumn tour bere has
changed mr opinion. I heard before
I eaii'e that Sweden was apoorcoun
try, poor in natural charms, por in
resources, poor in enterprise ; that
her people were improvident, drunk
en, and superstitious ; that, in short.
yoa had only to scratch ber civiliza
tion and you found a mere medieval
barbarism. I can now say tbat hard
ly anv of these statements was found
ed on anything like fact. As regards
the natural beauty, 1 need only point
to tbe Frollhalta falls, where a great
river rushes down a long series of
cataracts between pine clad hills; to
the many lakes, such as Malar, set
with islets whose trees kiss the wa
ter ; to the quiet beauty of southern
Sweden, with its streams and mead
ows and red brown bouses, backed
by woods of oak and beech and silver
birch. All that Sweden wants to
make it perfect is mountains. But
the beauties she has are so set off by
the marvellous purity and brightness
of her atmosphere, as clear as tbat of
Upper tB'ypt, tbat even prosaic
tbiog3 seem beautiful ta tbe traveller.
Then tbe people are as bright and as
pleasant as the air. The men pass
yoa with a sod and a word of wel
come, the women with a smile. If
yoa ask tbe way in any of the towns,
they will answer in English more or
less pure, and turn eutof their course
to take you to tbe place you seek.
Nothing pleases them more than to
treat yoa to their Swedish punch,
and they cry "Schole" as they drink
to give yoa welcome ia their kindly
Swedish way.
Of course, the whole country ia
more or less poor. Tbat is a natural
consequence of its latitude and its
physical conformation. Four-sevenths
of its area is covered with for
ests. Another seventh is occupied
by lakes and rivers. Even in the
open spaces the granite constantly
crops up and defies all husbandry.
Only one-seventeenth ptirt in cultiva
ted soil. There are mil s of iron and
copper, and Swedish i .j is tbe best
tbe world prodaces. There are coal
mines which are now work; 1 at a
profit. But no country, ev.-a with
resources a hundred 1 !d . -eater,
could be rich which U froia bound
and mostly covered with enow from
October to April every year. "What
do you do ia winter?" I asked of a
steamer-owner the other day. "We
lie up," was the answer. "Why
don't you take to a winter trade ?"
I got the significant reply, "M ;st
other trades are forced to lie up to."
Of course, a country which is thus
driven to hibernation like a certain
class of animals cannot be otherwise
thaa a poor country. I was not sur
prised to hear at Gothenburg that the
number of emigrants to America this
year from that port amounted to
nearly 9,000. Bat ia another sense
Sweden is by no means poor. I have
seen in tbe last three weeks at least
a dozen small towns.' Each had its
school house, its church, its newspa
per and most of them had their pub
lic garden ; the streets were paved,
and lighted with oil-lamps swnng
across as they were in old Paris ; the
houses, though mostly of wood, were
trim and neat; no broken windows,
or dilapidated walls, or heaps of re
fuse offending the eye as they do in
English country districts. The peo.
pie were as neat aa their bouses. I
have not seen half-a-dozen beggars
since I bave been in the country.
Evea ia the capital, where misery as
well as wealth generally congregates,
I saw no signs of poverty, while a
crowded opera-house, overflowing
cafes, and brilliant shops betokened
an easy opulence. In short there is
a general level of comfort in Sweden
without any violent contrasts. Per
haps some explanation is to be found
in tbe fact tbat Sweden is net one of
tbe great powers of the world. She
takes a low place in the councils of
the aations. But ber army and navy
cost ber only a trifle; her taxation is
light and ber national debt is trifling
($50,000,000), and ba3 been sole! t
employed ia tbe construction of rail
ways. 1- inally, all ber children go
to school, and over 90 per cent, of ber i
people can read and write. There
are superstitions ia the country plac
es, but they mostly come of the noble
North mythology. Children whose
imaginations are fed oa such stories
as that of "Balder the Beautiful,"
may grow up with odd fancies, but I
would not for all that banish such
tales from the nnrserr.

now to Treat Warkt Ilanea.
A vast deal baa been written about
the proper manner of treating work
horses, but I have never read a lect
ure that did not contain a great deal
of tomfoolery.
All new and inexperienced horse
men should consult common sense.
Study the nature and habits of the
horse, and do not vary from them
one iota. Never strike a horse for
any other pnrpose than to get bis at
tention. If be is afraid of an object
and yoa whip him past it, yoa only
increase bia fright. Show bim tbat
tbe object be is afraid of will not hurt
bim, and be will walk up to it fear
lessly as if it were a peek uf cats. If
he balks and won't pu'l at the trace),
yoa must remember that be also balks
and won't pull at tbe halter. The
treatment tbat taught bim to refuse
to pull backward, is the very same
treatment which induces bim to re
fuse to pull forwards. Teach bim v
break a weak halter, and be will puil
with all bis miifbt whenever fastened
in tbat way. Teach bim to pall a
lifht load bv tbe traces, and he will
do bis best al a heavy one and
when he iocs bis best you ought to
be satisQed. Give hiro cleao, touud
feed, ana a warm, s-jf ! t lie oa
ia wiotcr, even if i". t- vour parlor
furniture to do so. It is better tu
have a kooi of wood for a seat and
your horse b.dded with cleaa straw,
thaa to have a twenty-dollar cu.ihiaa
chair and your faithfal work animal
aozing oa Lis legs ia a filthy stall.
In the former case your horse will
earn you enough to bay a fine nia
hogony chair, but in the latter your
fine furniture will be sold for debt,
and yoa will bo poor as well as your
horse.
Farm horses should, whenever the
day is warm enough to bring ont
sweat, be allowed to wallow and
scratch their sides and backs on the
ground. They will get much more
comfort thaa yoa caa give thero wiih
the curry-comb. Many rely oa the
ccrry-comb to keep their horses fa
order. It is tho greatest nonsense
one caa practice. Clear, sweet hay
and grain, and a clean, soft bed to
sleep on. with a proper place to wal
low, will insure a fine coat of hair,
and a strong.Jmuscular body. Noth
ing else can. A3 a general rule,
those not tutored in the management
of horses will do well to consult the
horse and treat him accordingly.

It is curious tbat tbe world has yet
to be convinced tbat women do not
love work any better thaa mea do.
They are credited with dependence,
with a love of ease and luxury, ana
yet when a salaried position is in
question tbe woman has to be con
tent with less, because "she needs
less." It cannot be because ste
spends less, for the extravagance of
women was dwelt upon by ajiomon
and Jeremiah, and it is a song that
has never known a rest
The reason for the difference ia wa
ges is generally found to be in the a
sertioa that women who do not ce-d
a support, or wbo bave few responsi
bilities, crowd intJ the paid occupa
tions. There ia an inconsistency
bere. If she lovea ease, wby does
she work? If she spends more, how
is it she needs less ? The truth ia
that very few women work from any
other reason but necessity. Here
and there is one who lovea independ
ence, works for it, and dcBerves it ;
and bere and there is another who
would rather work than forego cer
taia luxuries, and she earns them ;
but tbe majority of women work be
cause they have responsibilities, and
as a class thev are our most reliable.
