It was jest growing dark in the English lane ‘ through which: .Sir Rudolph Warwick guided bis wear j, horse. The lahe wan bor dered by hedges of hawthorn, white with bloom, sweet with fragrance. Beyond, the fields lux uriant with the heavy grass, now ripe for the mower, lay still and beautiful in the soft falling shadows. Farther on, a half mile or mure ftwriy, rose the. tower of the ehnrch in the vil lage towards"which he.was traveling. Though his imagination was not the piost vivid, Sir Rodolpb readily saw, in his mind’s eye, thp smoking cheer, the tankard of foaming ale, and the hospitable rest which the' King’s Arms offered to allcomers. It was pleasant to anti cipate, and enlivened by expectation, the bar onet urged his. horse to a canter and. sang as he went — 1 Several things had put Sir Rodolph in good humor* Within the week be had been at court pnd- been graciously noticed by bis sovereign, Rater, be had crossed the country to some out lying estates belonging to his own house with alplethorio' wallet. , Sir Rudolph.was, besides, naturally gay and hopeful, trusting men too often, not according to their deserts, but according to his own con sciousness of integrity. A few paces in the rear, rode his valet, a Frenchman, whom be bad found abroad, arid who had been in bis service a half year —a teen-eyed, agile fellow, he had wdn Sir Rodol.ph’s good will by bis merry tiW pes and alacrity to serve. , “ Francois," called feodolph. The valet rode to bis side. Do yon know, Francois, that I have a large sum of money in my.pocket—not less, indeed, than a thousand pounds?" ■s.* A large sum, indeed, Sir Rodolph, to have in ' charge upon such a lonely road as this. Are there ho highwaymen in Ihii section f” “ I trust not, yet if there were I have my pistols, and your valor, Francois, would stand ns in good stead.” “ Ay’ my master, you mey trust me,” onid the,valet, at the same 4 -time -throwing upon Sir Rudolph, a sly, sidelong glance, fullof sigujtf cance. , “ That I do, my brave fellow, but loot yon, yonder is the King’s Arms. A brace of potted pigeons nnd a tankard- of ale will not come amiss nows Francois.” Th y put their horses into a trot and' pre> ett ly entered the' town, ft was an old and.picr tnresqoe English village, quaint and beautifm. The gray stone church, moss-growu and ivy covered, stood half way up the principal street. The humble cottages of tho villagers had a pleasant, bpme-like, air, and children’s voices and ‘ the interchange of Trappy'talk'went on within them and around the open doors. The inn crooned the brow of a hill, and was over shadowed by two majestic English elms, from whose bough the sign-board was pendent, sway ing and creaking ns the branch rose and lell in the evening breeze. A most hospitable place was the Kings ■Arms. It was- long, and low and wide. Brood, comfortable seats, rap.the ,whole length of the piazza, arm' chafre stood by the win dows, and there was a suggestive odor flonfipg upward from the kitchen,‘compounded of broil ing meats, dainty paddings, and the fragrance of tea. The great doors were thrown lovingly open, and the tall clock looked benignly down with its face of smoky white and ticked a cheery welcome. •• A : most comfortable place, Francois,” said Sir Rodolph, os be made preparations to dis mount at the piazza. The valet’sprang to assist him, and flinging his saddle-bags upon his shoulders, followed his master up the sjepf. • The landlord, a tall, . w)ry, shrewd, eager looking n)on, quite .unlike the typical landlord of romances apd playf ap proached the door. . “ Good evening, friend,” said Sir Rodolph cheerily. “Are you mine host of the King’s Arms?” 7 “ At service, sir.’’ “ And jour name ?” “ John Bradleigh.” “ A good name, and bourn by an honest fel low, 1 make no doubt. Now getme a rodm ■ready ;,lee Francois, my valet, sleep nest me, apd meanwhile some supper. Now dp thyself and thy bouse credit, my friend.' ' 1 Was never in these parts before.” ‘ r ’ .‘‘AH gballbe right, sir. Your honor shall no occasion : to find fault” s' ‘XVarygood.

A thousand .pounds would be no light loss even if a'inan es caped-with his life.” ■ ' The evening passed.- Sir Rodolpb retired at an earl; bear, and overcome with fatigue and heart; eating, was soon sleeping soundly. The two friendsalso retired to tfaeir room, which was opposite Sir Rudolph's. ■ . “Avery confidential person ie onr new ac quaintance,” remarked Kenneday. . “ Yea, foolish fellow, prating for hia money. For my part, I do not like the looks of that valet m his—it. sly; bong-dog cast of counte nance that never bodes good. ■ Did you not think so V’ ”I am no physiognomist; and' Aylmer, J doubt your power of divining. Who took Lady Fanny Beresford for the epulof honor, till he proved her an artful coquette ?” : “ Nay,’ Kenneday, that does not credit my art. Who can read women with itheir chame leon faces ?” A little gay banter 'succeeded this, and then the two friende composed to sleep. It was • close' npon midnight before either again awoke. • Let ns now follow onr lively FrenOh valet to his’.'chamber. Ho ■knows' that'the precious saddle-bags are safe by the side of his master’s pillow. He knows that the key which unlocks them is in,, his master’s wallet.' He hears'Sir Rodolpb’s heavy stertorous breathing; lie, too, is fatigued, yet he-does not sleep., • He' tosses restlessly froth side to side, frequently ejaculating in Frehch. It grew towards mid night; The moon, which hud shone snflly up on the leaves of the great elms Overhanging the roof, dropped below the horizon. The house was perfectly still. Outside, the ani mals, lying in the great barn-yard, were also silent. The house dog was asleep in bis ken nel. It Was just upon the Stroke of twelve.— Then Francois arose, muttering in a whisper, “ yes, yes, my toaster, yon may trust Fran cois.” ■ Kenneday awoke ; presently, through some indefinable, mysterious sympathy, Aylmer awoke, also. “ It must be nearmidoight,” said Kenneday. ‘‘■Sea.' The moon'-is set. How very still it is, and yet I seem to hear singulnr noises.” “ One- always-; does in the night. If third are any spirits that have their homes in old galleries and behind creaking doors, they hold carnival at this boor. Everything is bewitched as it grows near twelve—the wind rises, the sign hoard creaks, the sash flatters, the floor boards give as if a foot pressed them. What a mysterinns hour it is! People die"oflenest at midnight, and often the last great change comes upon the sick at that time. Once, when I was a boy—are yon listening to me V “ Partly, and partly I am listening to some thing else. 'Do you hear anything f” There was a pause. “ It is the songh of the wind.” . “ I pray Heaven it may bo—fint—listen 1” Suddenly Kenneday sprung erect. “ Aylmer, it is a groan 1 Dp, fpr the lovo of Heaven!” ' ' ‘ : Neither hesitated longer. They seized their pistols, which were loaded. ' “ Softly, now.' 1 Hist I”' They'opened the ’ door silently and stepped noiselessly into the hall. A light shone out under the doop of SiKßodolpb’s room. “ Open quickly and rush in' , without warn ing,” whispered Kennedy, as another low moan smbfe their ears. Aylmer’s hand is upon the lock. The next instant the door is flung wide open, the two friends are 1 within the room—hot. great Hea ven ! wbat'do they see? 1 Sir Rudolph lieswel tcring in bis blood, and over him,. with a light In one hand and a knife in the 1 other, stands the landlord of! the King’s Arms, John Brad leigb. , ' For pne. moment both stood petrified with horror; them-Kennedy, with quickness and (Jexrerity, had disarmed the murderer—for that hp . was soobj none could doubt—shouting, “ help, here 1 brjng help I” • A. door waa burst open, and the valet, Fran cois,''appeared; apparently just riseh. Bradleigh was • bound, with ropes, and tliken, down strains. Upon examination. Sir Rudolph was'found to be quite dead. The saddle .bag* had been riSed of the money, his watch and a! valuable'snuff box were both missing, hut strahge' to say, the most careful, search, instituted at that- time, and'afterward renewed, failed' to discover any thing of the 'missing treasures; Down lii the : bat room a crowd soon cojlledted around thq inh-keeper. He Bt6utly l! denied 'tKec»mraisei : dk of the orime. He had heard a noise, be said, suspected mis chief wasaHoat, and, arming, himself fbr de fence,’proceeded towards the ‘chamber whence the stitind came. On arriving there tie' 'was struck dumb;with htirror ijpdn'Seein'g feo'd'ijibh lying wounded and just_breath[ng his last. 1 ■ , ,Qf cpnrse, this story,was derided, and Brad leigh’s.protestations were unheeded.At .day-' Jight'a jnstipe jOf .tbe peace 'waireent ’and' 'anexaminatiof* tookplaoc. ■ Sopateptwer'ethe evidences of bis guilt, that he -was committed 1 without the slightest hesitation,, • V - ,-, -U i , Far and wide spread the news of. this extra- murder. Jn every, company It be came. the topic of conversation, and there were few who doubted Rradleigh’s guilt. Hewas, held in the utmost detestation, and the circum stances were considered as flggrivstingdhe crime. - To add to the sympathy, felt for, the unfortunate Sir Rodolph, stories of his genial ity, generosity and good.huroorquickly found their way to the popular ear. No one was more diligent in circulating these tales than the valet, Francois. Since the commitment of the supposed murderer, bis grief, ut first ovef wheimiig.'b'ad all been merged in an eager r do-| sire to procure the couViotion-nf tbS criminal. 1 Non came on Che assizes at Oxford. Upon being brought before tbe court, Brad leigb, contrary to tbe advice of faia counsel, pleaded'not guilty, but against such a strong chain of circumstances, leading directly , to,- wards an unfavorable conclusion, his unsup ported declaration could have but little'weight, and found no favor. Public opinion was strongly, adverse to theiprisoner. 1-. , The court r«pm was thronged, and tbe ex; oitement reached a high pitch. The personal popularity of Sir Kodolph drew crowds of high bred ladies, who listened' wifa intense interest to all the painful details. The attorney for the prosecution recapitulated with great art all tbe circumstances attending the murder: Sir Bii dolph’s arrival at the inn at nightfall; the still twilight; the quiet country landscape; (tie peaceful village; the ingenuous confidence of the traveler; bis unsuspecting trust in his host; tbe dark midnight; the setting moon, hiding bar face from the cruel deed; the stealthy step ofthe the sleeping unconscious face pf.the victim; the deadly thrust; the terror.; the momentary agony, were all painted'in the most vivid colors. The 1 great aodiende shook under his words. Sobs broke forth ; delicate women feinted ; strong men wiped away the perspiration from pallid brows. 'After the first excitement had passed, the people looked at the prisoner. He was evi dently struggling , with some deep emotion. His lips quivered, the,muscles of bis face con tracted,' he Was ghastly white. • ' 7 Upon being asked What be had to say in his defence, and urged to lighten his guilt by con fession, the wretched, man rose, and after two or three ineffectual attempts to speak, his bloodless lips parted, and lie murmured : , “ Not guilty, so help roe God I” A sensation stined the assembly, and the in dignation broke out into audible exclaimations. The judge, bending his dark brows sternly upon the prisoner, remarked, with disregard of impartiality, too Common id the proceedings of the earlier English courts:- - “ Mr. Bradleigh, either you or myself com mitted this murder." Bradleigh half rose, attempted to speak, but with a gesture of despair sank down and l bur ied bis face in bis bands. Sentence was pronounced amid the most pro found silence, and, in a stillness as deep ad death, the criminal was removed to prison, thereto await the day fixed for his execution. The public excitement died away in a meas ure, after the trial and its concomitants had been thoroughly discussed. Every one remark ed upon the clearness and straightforwardness with which the valet of Sir Rudolph, Fran cois, told his story, and also the extraordinary affection be exhibited'for' his master. A few thought be hod a, treacherous, unreliable face, and doubted if he could be trusted im plicitly. L, A few weeks passed, and one dark, cold eve ning, the day preceeding that appointed for the execution, a clergyman was hastily sum moned to the prison. He found Bradleigh cow ering in one corner of his cell, the picture of hopeless misery. “ Can I do anything fur you, my friend asked the clergyman, kindly. The dim light showed the pallid, haggard face, as it was lifted fur a mi meat, “ I am not guilty. I did not take Sir Ru dolph’s life.” . “ Nay my friend, you .are about to appear in the presence of Qno whom no falsehood can deceive. Let me urge you to-jmburden your mind by free and full confession,” said the minister, who was fully convinced of; the orim nal’a guilt. “ I say I am nut guilty,", reiter ated the prisoner, in a tone of apatbotio but de termined obstinacy. .VI don’t suppose it will make any difference in your opinion of me, hot you may as welLknow just how it is. At any cate I dont care- now. You see Sir Rudolph talked very freely about his money, and set me to thinking bow easily I might put myself above work fur life, 'just by doing a bold deed, It would not have tempted..me so far as it did that time, but I’d thought about it a good many times before, and I’d lain awake nights think ing how I’d manage it. Well this time the temp tation proved too strong for me, and after I bad planned it all, I got a knife from the kitchen, and went softly into. Sir Rudolph’s room. 1 crept up to the bed very still, and was just up do the point of striking, when I found somebody bad been there before me—only just a minute before— for Sir Rodolph wap not quite gone, though the blood was flowing fast. In my fright I dropped my knife, and. picked it up again all covered with blood. I did not see ff the money and watoh were,gone, fur the gen tlemen rushed ip before I bad time to think of anything. 1 didn’t kill.the map, though I sup pose it’e just the same as if I did. Anyhow, it won’t njake og’diffejence to me now,” he con cluded, ae .be buried.hia face in his bands again, and slunk back in thecorner, . , Of course,’.tbV remarkable story ■ was no, credited.- Thu crimnal however, persisted in it np to-the. last moment’. the next day wit nessed the fipale of the most dreadful tragedy which.had disturbed that peaceifwl.popntry for a score of yeaps.,, The egpcutioq renewed. the public interest, and it furnished a theme for many conversations,-' in 'the long evemngs of the sueceedingwinter. ...... .

A priest was sent fur at his request, and soon ,a magistrate was called in to lake a deposition from the lips of the dying'man. This stated that he, Fran cois Cbanjpenux, had. in the course of a despe rate career, been guilty of many bloody crimes, one of the most fearful of which was the mur der of an English 'gentleman.
