A TIMELY WARNING.
"Good night papa," said a sweet,
childish voice.
I looked down in iiirprise upon the
little girl that was standing beside my
friend's knee; for though this was our
first meeting after a separation of some
years, I hadsuppoeed him to be chlid
Icss. She had entered the room so noise
lessly that until she spoke, neither of
us had been conscious of her presence.
"Good night, my daughter, said my
host, a smile of inGuite tenderness
softening bis rather stern features, and
holding out his arms as he spoke.
ibe child sprang quickly to the
shelter of the broad breast, laying her
son cheek lovingly against his.
As be held ber thus, stroking as ten
derly as a -mother might, the shining
hair that mingled with bis own jetty
locks, I thought that I had never seen
a prettier picture. fc
She was in form so petite, with fea
tures almost infantile in their delicacy
of outline, he so strong and stately ;
i i ro
ller complexion was exquisitely tair,
and her eyes of the softest blue, while
bis were dark and piercing, and his
face bronzed by exposure to the sun
and incidental to his adventurous life.
A matronly looking woman opened
the door, pausing upon the threshold
as if reluctant to disturb them.
As soon as my friend observed her,
he arose, and blessing: the child with a
solemnity and tenderness I had never
witnessed in him before, dismissed her.
"Not your daughter?" I said as soon
as we were left alone.
"No; but I could not love ber bet
ter if she was. She is the most pre
cious of all my earthly possessions, as
well she might be. My darling little
Kathiet she saved my life."
"What! that Mender, delicate
child r.
"Yes; and when Tw8 smeller
and youngeawlhan she is now.
"I will tell you how it wv,"ndded
my friend, replying more to the eager
inquiry in my eyes, rather than to
anything I bad said, "It is not a long
story."
1 v And pushing toward me a cut glass
dun, of some quaint and curious pat
tern, filled with beavv clusters of
grapes, my host settled himself back
in his easy chair, and commenced as
follows :
About two years ago, important
business called me to A , in the
western part of Canada. Partly be
cause I was more accustomed - to that
kind of locomotion, and partly be
cause publio conveyances in that sec
tion of the country were slow and un
certain, I started on horseback.
I had been out about a fornight on
my way, and was beginning to con
gratulate myself that I must be near
the teriniuation of my journey.
It was near sundown, and the sky
began to look as if a storm was brew
ing. I had ridden many hours through
a rude, thinly settled country, and be
gan to look anxiously around for some
human habitation It was, therefore,
with a feeling of relief, that 1 saw, a
few rods ahead of me, what seemed to
be a publio house. It was so long
since I had seen one that, in spite of its
dark, dreary appearance, it had a
pleasant look to me
There were neither trees nor any
signs of vegetation around the house,
in front of which a crazy looking sign
was creaking in the wind that was ris
ing, and upon which could be seen a
few letters of what was evidently once
"Entertainment for Man and Beast,"
now nearly efi'aced by the weather.
As I rode to the door, I saw a stout,
middle aged man sitting upon the rude
porch, cleaning a gun.
"Good evening, friend," I said.
"Can yon tell me how far it is. to the
village of A J"
The man gave me a quick, compre
hensive glance, and then dropped his
eyes.
"It i a matter of eight miles," he
replied ; "just beyond Black Forest,
the edge or which you can see from
here."
"You had better not attempt it to
night," he added, as he saw I was hes
itating as to whether I bad better stop
or push ahead, now that I was so near
my journey's end. "There's a storm
comin? un: beside a cood manv ,rav-
felers have been robbed in Black For
est lately."
"I believe I won't risk it then," I
said ; "For I have that about me that
I should not care to lose."
I recalled afterwards, the sudden
brightening of the landlord's eyes a I
said this, but it was so brief that it
made little impression on roe, at the
timo.
Remarking that his hostler bad
gone away on an errand, he took
charge of my horse, and taking my
saddle bags in my hand, I entered the
house.
It consisted of a large hall, with a
good sized room on either side. As
soon as I stepped in my attention was
arrested by a little girl, iu spite oi her
1
AUGUST 18. 1875,
neglected appearance, one of the most
perfectly lovely little creatures that I
ever saw.
I learned afterwards that she was
nearly nine, but so small and delicate
was she, that she looked full three
years younger.
In one of the rooms was a large
coarse featured, woman, with a peculiar
disagreeable expression of counte
nance, engaged in some domestic du
ties ; the other was vacant and enter
ing it, I took a seat upon a settee.
The little girl came and stood bv
the open door fixing her large earnest
eyes upon me with a mournful intent-
ness ot expression that I never saw in
any child before or sii.ee.
1 smiled and held out my hand to
her. To my surprise she came direct
ly to me.
Touched by that expression of confi
dence in an entire stranger, no less
than by ber exceeding beauty, I took
her upon my lap.
"You are not my papa," she said,
regarding me with the same wistful
look, "but you look like him."
"Where is your papa?" I asked,
more for the sake of talking than be
cause I cared to know.
The child shuddered and turned
pale.
Just then the landlord entered. He
frowned as his eyes fell upon the child,
and looked uneasy".
"You must not trouble the gentle
man," he said, in a voice whoee harsh
ness was in marked coutrast to the
smooth, oily tones he had used in
speaking to me. "Get down and go
into the kitchen."
The child shrank in mortal fear,
from that look ; and in spite of my de
taining band, slipped quicWjjflfrom my
knee and left the room. ""
After partaking of a warm, substan
tial supper, I requested to be shown to
my room, as I was desirous of taking an
early start in the morning.
The room into which the landlord
took me, was an upper one, of good
size and comfortably furnished. I ob
served that there was only one window,
and that one very small and provided
.with shutters.
As I was examining my knapsack,
with my back to the door, I beard a
faint rustle, and turning I saw the lit
tle girl I had observed below standing
in the middle ot the room, with an ex
pression upon her epuntenance, which
stSgMHue as much' as her unexpected
appearance.
"Are you going to stay here to
night?" she said, in a hurried whis
per. "Yes," I. replied, "wouldn't you like
to have me?"
"No, oh no," she said, wit the
same look and tone, and shuddering
as she spoke. "This iB a dreadful
place. Don't stay I If you do, they
will kill you just ai-ibey did "
"Kathie, Kathiel" screamed the
landlord's wife, "come down here this
minute."
Kathie'8 eyes dilated with terror;
turning sbe glided from the room as
quickly and noiselessly as she had en
tered it.
Listening, I heard angry voicpajbe
low ; then a sharp cry, ending furpite
ous sobs, which gradually died away,
as if the child was conveyed to some
distant part of the house.
Filled with indignation and alarm,
I opened the door, with the intention
of interfering ; but feeling upon sec
'ond thought lw uselsa any such at
tempt vould be, in my present situa
ttoLrI closed it and went to the win
dow, it jlaced my hand upon the
WiuXJfta- they were iron, and firmly
bxert into the casement.
It did not take me long to decide
what to do. After examining ray re
volver; to see if it was all right, I
took my traps and descended to the
bar-room.
The landlord started with an angry
look when be saw me.
"I have concluded to resume my
journey," I said in as careless a tome
as I could assume. Please bring my
horse directly to the door."
"Every one to his foncy," said the
man, glancing sharply at me from the
corner of bis eyes ; "but I shouldn't
want to pass through the Black Forest
alone such a night as this."
"You forget my trusty friend here."
I said, touching my revolver signifi
cantly as I Bpoke.
The villain cowered ; for he saw in
a moment, that I understood him.
"I s'pose you know your own busi
ness best," he muttered sullenly, as he
went out for my horse.
It was with a feeling of joy that I
found myself again in the saddle,
gloomy and lonely as was the way be
fore me. Yet my thoughts reverted
sadly to the sweet child to whose time
ly warning I owed so much, and I de
termined to obtain a search warrant
and rescue her, if possible from the
cruel hands of those whom I felt could
have no claim on her.
I soon struck into the Black Forest,
which was composed principally of fir
and piue, and to whose durk foliage
$2 VFAX ANNUM.
it'doubtlcsar owed its name.
But soon the faithful creature that
had never failed me before, began to
halt, and finally became so lame as to
be unable to proceed further. Suspect
ing some treachery, I dismounted.
The sky had partially cleared, and
the moon had risen, but she gave only
a fitful light, and had now entirely
disappeared under a cloud. But strik
ing a match I discovered that two
sharp pebbles had been skillfully in
serted into the bone. I succeeded iu
dislodging one, but the other defied
all my efforts; so tying the animal to
a tree, I determined to proceed on
foot.
I had hardly done so when I heard
the quick sound of horses feet along
the road. I stepped back in the shad
ow of the tree, and looked in the di
rection whence it proceeded.
I could just discern the outlines of
two horsemen, who reined np within a
few feet of the spot where I stood.
I felt that the odds were greatly
against me, but I resolved to sell my
life dearly.
"I shouldn't s'pose his horse could
have taken him away any further,"
said one of them, whose voice I in
stantly recognized as that of my late
host.
"Hist! here is his horse," said the
other, as an impatient movement of
the animal betrayed his proximity.
Just then the moou emerged
from a cloud, revealing my form dis
tinctly, as I stood, with one finger on
the trigger, and watching for the first
gleam of light, to make mjiaira sure.
The landlord '8 eyes fell directly up
on me, and with a muttered curse lie
snatched a pistol from his belt. But
he was too late ; there was a sharp
whistle, followed by a dull heavy
sound, and throwing his hands up
ward, he fell forward upon his horse.
As be fell, his pistol, which was at
half cock, was discharged, to all ap
pearances mortally wounding his com
panion, who dropped instantly to the
ground.
But it seemed that this was merely
a feint, for no sooner. did he see that I
was off my guard than he fired. For
tunately he aimed too high, and the
ball passed harmlessly over my head.
; I sprang forward, aud after a brief
struggle, succeeded in disarming him.
Then perceiving that the bone of his
knee was shattered, making his escape
impossible, I left him, ana mounting
the fine looking animal he rode, I re
sumed my journey.
It was past midnight when I reached
A and broad daylight when ac
companied by a magistrate, a posse of
constables and several of the villagers,
I returned to the sceue of my night's
adventure.
The landlord lay just as he had fall
en, his pale face turned up to the rays
of the rising sun. The other villain
had managed to crawl away, but was
soon tracked and secured.
We then went in a body to the tav
ern. There was no one in the house
but the old woman, who though she
seemed a little startled atXrst by our
entrance, manifested the most stolid
indifference, even when told of the
fate of her husband. As she was be
lieved to be accessory , to his crimes
she was taken into custody.
To ray surprise and astonishment,
little Kathie was nowhere to be found.
It was in vain that I questioned the
woman, endeavoring by alternate
bribes and threats to obtain some clew
to her fate; she returned a sullen si
lence. They had all gone, but I still linger
ed; thinking sadly of the dear child,
whom I was constrained to fear, in
saving my life, hud lost her own, when
i heard a faint cry.
I put my ear to the floor, whence it
seemed to proceed, and it was repeated.
As quick as thought I removed some
straw revealing a trap doer. I lifted
it up, and there in a dark, damp,
noisome hole, was poor little Kathie,
almost faint with terror.
My joy in finding her you can well
imagine ; and as for her, she clung to
me as we cling to the only friend we
have.
The man was tried and executed,
the woman turning State's evidence.
He confessed upon the scaffold to the
murder of a number of travelers,
among whom was Kathie's father.
As soon as my little portege was
able. to travel, I took her with me to
the States.
Though the very idea of parting
with her was a painful one, a sense of
duty induced me to write to her near
est male relative, an oucle residing in
Ohio, stating what I had ascertained
in regard to this singular Providence
which had given his little uieoe so
strong a claim upon my love and pro
tection. But he had a large family of
his own, and though he would have
given a home to his brother's child,
had she stood in need of it, upon
learning the circumstances, very wil
lingly relinquished her to me. She
has lived with me ever since, growing

nearer and dearer to my heart every
day.
"So yno perceire," added my friend
in conclusion, "that I did not epenk
lightly when I said that Kathie saved
my life. And I have sometimes
thought," he added, his' expressive
eyes growing soft and misty as h
spoke, "that she has done much to
ward making it worth the saving, for
never, until I fell the clinging of her
little arms around my neck did I re
alize the full import of those holy
words, 'of such is the kingdom of
heaven.'"
And as I looked upon him, and
thought of tlife one great sorrow that
had hardened his youth, turning to
bitterness the sweet spring of domes
tic affection, and the life he had led
since, so calculated to draw out the
harsher and sterner part of his nature,
I thanked God for the angel He had
sent to him in the form of a little
lamb.
A VIlMilMA MAKKS.MAN.
An elderly man named Beckwith,
residing in one of the peninsular coun
ties, came to Richmond, the Whig
says, on business. He brought with
him an old-fashioned flint-lock rifle to
have a stock and lock put on. On the
cars he fell in conversation with a par
ty of three gentlemen, when one of
them, to test the reality of some of the
extraordinary feats of marksmanship
he boasted of, ofTertd him ten dollars
to repeat some of them, to which tho
other two added five dollars between
them. The trial came off in an old
field half a mile below Rocketts, and
was witnessed by about a dozen pet
sons. The old flint-lock was fired seven
times, aud only once missed its aim.
The old gentleman, after making two
shots at email objects to one side, to
get his baud steady, as he said, hand
ed his son a potato and stationed him
at fifty yards' distance, holding tho
potato between his thumb and fore
finger. The rifle cracked, and the po
tato fell cloven in three or fourpieoes.
One of the larger pieces was then
thrown in the air, the marksman keep
ing at the same distance, and again
the shot told.
An inch and a half augur was then
produced, and a hole bored in the
fence, behind which was fastened a
piece of white paper. At a distance
of sixty yards the markfman sent a
ball clear through the aperture, pierc
ing, the paper. At the fourth shot
from sixty yards distance, the bowl of
a pipe, which the son was smoking,
was crushed. At tho fifth shot a cop
per cent was thrown into the air and
hit. The sixth and seventh shots were
delivcrod at a blackened five-cent
nickel piece throwu up by the sou,'
standing about thirty yards off. At
the first attempt the shot missed. The
old gentleman showed considerable
mortification, and laid the blame upon
a bystander who at the critical mo
ment sneezed loudly. The next at: ,
tempt, however, was an entire success.'
The old man declined any further trials
of his skill, and when offered a sum of
money to repeat his first feat of shoot
ing a potato from his son's hand, he
refused, saying he didn't care to try
such experiments unless his weapon
was freshly cleaned. The exhibition
was the more remarkable from the
fact that the marksmau was an old
man, at least fifty.
His eye, however, is a clear, bright
gray. His appearance is that of a
poor farmer. The young man showed
uot the least tremor of anxiety during
the dangerous experiment upon him
self. The old man, referring to his
son, said : "Bob can shoot just as well
as I can."
A LI. ABOUT INTEttKMT.
The other day after a Detroit bro
ker had borrowed $200 for a citizen
who was in need of money, and had
taken out a good share of the green
backs for commissions, etc., he replied
to the surprised inquiries of the bur
rower by saying :
"Now figure it yourself. You cee,
you pay me $20 for getting the money ;
you pay $5 for making out the papers ;
you pay $2 for swearing to them ; you
pay five per cent, back so that we es
