knew hii adversity wis a elangero'ii

guirded in liia bearing. Oscar leceived
his charge will) Co doess and delibera
tion, and puried hu desperate blows
wild a judgment that would have done
honor lo an older head. The contest
was carried nn will) great fierceness on
iho part of McFergua for some time, tnd
opposed with great hravrry by OaCar.
Youth and activity impelled by love
were doomed to conquer. McFergu
grariuilly receded and wis "closely fol
lowed by his adversary. Tney had by
elerees appi oiched very near the edge
ofihe precipice). McFergus saw his
danger and stung to madness at the idea
of being vanquished by one so much
his junior, he made a desperate effort lo
turn his horse, and force Oscar from his
position, which he perceiving, tned all
()osible means lo prevent. They grad
ually approached near the brink of the
abyes. MeFeigus saw that there wac
but one ahernativp, and that was to
m ike ao effort lo ride down his oppo
;enl by slieer strength, as he wis bel
ter mounted and heavier aimed than
0 car. Plunging bin apurs into the
sides of his horse, he raised his arm in
hurl O-cir from his saddle, but at tha'
moment McFergus horse, driven to
de'peration, hecamo franiio and unman-tg-ahle,
and hacked near the edge of the
prec'i-pice. , Oscar, perceiving his advan
tH', aimed a blow at hi throat, and
trying to avoid it MeFergus was thrown
completely off his guard. Oscar fallow-
pd it quickly by another, and the bright
cteel tm i fod the ou'law s Ihrnn lie
tween the breasuplaifl and helmet
Wiih a curie upon hi lips loitered in
his saddle and the earth crumbled un
der the feel of his hoise, anil both him
and rider were lulled into eternity !
Down, down they fell, and the jged
rock far holow, marked the couise o(
the daring outlaw. The pol lo ihi
day, is pointed out by the dependant"
of Oear Kuihven, and is yet oiled the
0 Haw's Crag.
The meeting betwflen Osear and
Alice can be more easily imigined than
described. She threw heisilf into his
rms and wept with pure joy and with
each embrace, thanked heaven foi
the timely deliverance and happy meet-
The outlaws seeing their lender fall,
immediately deserted their caaile ftinl

The story is told. 0car, on striv
