hands grasping the ropo abovo his head.so
as to prevent his strangling, ho was com
pelled to dangle there, until Harry had
j descended tho trco, aud secured him by
(irmly binding his hands and feet, when
tho ropo was loosed, and ho was borno iu
triumph to tho house.
"Well," said tho Judgo, upon their en
trance, "you havo succeeded in scouring
tho culprit, I see.''
"Certainly, Judgo, wo did not intend to
fail," responded Harry.
"What inean3 do you propose that we
tako to punish tho scoundrel according to
and there bo married, and to render more
secure our happiness, I would recommend
tnat you get youiselt in possession of a lew
thousand of your fathers spare dollars
The utmost seercsy will bo necessary. I
will meet you at tho elm tree this evening.
Only consent to my proposals and I shall
be ono ol tbe happiest ot men.
Ailuctionately,
Hen it y Miller.
''Zounds I" exclaimed tho Judge, red
dening with anger, "propose to elope with
my daughter, and ask her to rob her fa
ther. Ths rascal bhould go through a tho
rough course of law,if wo lived in one of tho
States, more thickly settled, whero they
have courts established a3 when I used to
bo a Judge. But here, in this thinly set
tled country, I scarcely know how to pun
ish him as ho deserves."
"Suppose I send for Harry Warner. I
can then meet Miller at the elm tree, anil
whilo ho is urging his propositions upon
mo, Harry can slip up and seize him, and
then ho can be punished as you think best,"
suggested Anna.
"Tour plan is an excellent one, I will
go and seo Harry immediately." So say
ing tho old gentleman departed for the
residcuco of Mr. Warner.
The day soon spod by, aud the dusk of
tho evening set in. 'Then Anna Clairmout
put ou her bouact and shawl, and started
for tho elm trco designated in Henry Mil
ler's letter.
Upon arriving there sho found, not
Henry Miller, but Harry Warner.
"Hero Harry," said she,"take this ropo
and go up iu tho tree. Make haste. Mil-
"I was thinking about that whilo I was
sitting up in tho trco awaiting tho signal
for his seizure, aud havo come to the con
clusion, that it would bo an excellent idea
to try him according to law. You can bo
Judge, Anna can bo lawyer against the
prisoner, I can bo witness. And as to his
counsel, tho prisoner will of course havo to
look out for himself. What say you to my
plan ;" was Harry's answer.
"Capital, Capital byjovol" exclaimed
the Judgo. "Wo will proceed immediate
ly to basinets. As tho prisoner is without
counsel, wo will allow him to conduct tho
case in his own defense. Anua you arc en
titled to mako tho opening speech."
Anua arose made a few introductory re
marks, and resigned tho floor to tho pris
oner. Miller looking daggers at thcm,but
condescended to mako no reply. After
waiting a sufficient length of time to seo
whether ho would not reply the Judgo said
It seems tho prisoner has nothing to say
in his defense, therefore, Anna you can
tako tho floor, and examine tho witness,
and mako tho olosing speech.'
Anna again arose and called Harry as
witness. When ho had given his testimo
ny, sho read the abovo quoted note, after
which sho concluded by a most unmorci
fully sarcastic speech, in which sho pictur
cd in its most horrid light,Millor'i villiany
concluding,by reccommending,with an arch
sinilo, that tho villain bo instantly hung.
Under this torrent of words, of tho most
biting sarcasm, aud withering scorn, Hen
ry Miller, villainous and black hearted as
Harry wa3 glad when his turn camo, for
ho pitied tho poor fellow, and thercforo ho
determined to bo more mild with him than
Anna had been. And yet notwithstand
ing bis pity, ho, with his jolly humorous
disposition, could not abstain from teasing
him.
"Mr. Miller," said ho jovially, and
with a mock courtesy that was exceedingly
taunting, "wo aro glad to learn that you
aro a man of such good principles, even
having such a nice sense of honor, opposed
to all clandestine meetings, runaway
matches, aud even having a most holy
honor at tho idea of dealing. For theso
exalted sentiments, wo highly laud you,
but there is ono thing in which I havo al
ways immagincd you were wrong. Iu the
note read a few moments ago in court, you
speak of mo as an "awkward boor.'1 It
is with regard to my awkwardness that I
am ..now about to convinco you that you
wcro mistaken. You will please pay some
atttention to my logic."
With this ho drew back in such a man
ner, as to give him tho appearance of pre
paring to ftriko a tremendous blow, but
notwithstanding the threatened fierceness
of his blow, which was dono merely to
scaro him, he brought it down quite light
ly. Whack I Whack 1 Whack ! camo tho
blows in rapid succession, but they wcro
so light that Miller could abstain from tho
cries of pain that ho had uttered during
tho timo that Anna was "handling the rod',
but Harry could hear him utter threats,
and curses, and as ho gavo him ths last
blow, ho heard him mutter through his
teeth, "the last stroko and with a horrid ibors, and if they were, kind treatment of
oath, I will mi rbvEnoed. them would do her no hurt, and might
Harry feared that Miller would attempt save her from personal danger, sho said,
I'Wotl. sirs, xeliflt. wish von liernl"
"Madam," responded tho leader, "I
Harry promised, and, after imprinting
a kiss upon tho rosy Hps that wcro upturn
ed to his, ho departed, his destination bo
ing a settlement about twenty miles distant,
whither ho was going to lay in a supply of
fall and winter goods, for himself and
neighbors.
Tho day seemed a long ono to Anna, it
almost seemed as if it would never got
night, yet sho determined that sho would
remain at homo until Harry should return,
for there Was no neighbor nearer than about
two miles, and sho really felt ashamed of
her foolish fears.
After Harry had left, and sho did up
her morning 'chores,' sho took up some
sewing and set down in tho door, to view
tho surrounding scenery, and watch her
boy, as ho played in front of tho house,
for it was a warm morning, and the little
fellow was enjoying himself upon tho soft
green grass about tha door-steps.
felowly passed tho day, aud when, as it
seemed to her, after an almost incredible
length of time, thesun gained tho meridian,
she prepared and ate her dinner, and after
again arranging things to order, sho took
her former scat;
The afternoon wore away moro slowly
than tho forenoon, until near sunset, when
she saw coming toward tho house, three
able-bodied, but evil looking men. Gra
cious heavens ! it was tho robber and his
minions.
Tho loader saluted Anna as ho nearcd
her, and, as sho returned the salutation for
sho determined to treat them as well as

lcr will soon be hero. Mako a noose in the
ropo, which you can slip around his neck,
while I seize and hold his hands. But do
not bo too fast about securing him, we will
sec how far ho will go with his proposals,
and when I cough, then sccuro him.
Harry climbed the tree aud had just got
himself seated, till tho approach of Henry
Miller was heard.
"Well, Darling Anna, you havo como,I
see. And do you consent to my proposals"
spoko Miller as soon as ho came in sight.
Anna did not reply till ho arrived un
der the trco, and then in a voice apparent
ly tremulous with emotion, but which tho
careful listener might havo detected as a
forced effort, "Oh Mr. Miller, how can I
lcavo my poor papa alone."
'But Anna, your lather will not bo left
alone. Ho is to bo married to tho widow
Icier, soon, sho told ine so herself, in con
fidence of course, and in tho enjoyment of
his newly madu bride your father will soon
forget his daughter."
Anna knew this to be false, but she re
plied. "My objections then silenced in
reference to that, I can scarcely mako up
my mind to tako tho money from father ;
it would bo no better than stealing, would
itT
"Stealing 1" ejaculated Miller, in a well
feigned surprise, "aro you not sole heir to
your father's estate, and will it not all be
yours when ho is dead? what difference
then, docs it make if you do put yourself
in possession of part of it before his death'
j Surely there is no hsriu in that."
he was, was touched to the quick and ho
cowed down in shame.
Upon Anna's conclusion tho Judgo arose
to pronounce tho sentence. Ho found him
guilty of the charges brought against him,
and it now becomo his painful duty to
pronouueo sentenco upon him. However
ho would bo milder than his daughter.
His sentence would be, that tho prisoner
receive forty lashes, and the promise that
if ever a like offence was committed by
him, tho punishment would bo much moro
severe.
Both Anna and Harry, claimed tho
right of being tho executioner. Anna up
on the strong plea that it was sho to whom
tho insult was offered, and Harry upon
tho much stronger one of Millers proposals
being to his injury, as thoy would had ho
gained her consent, havo deprived him of
what was dearer to him than life, his affi
anced bride.
It was finally settled that they wcro to
Lo mutual executioners, each to give twen
ty lashes,
Harry then went out in tho forest and
procured two good birch "gads," to uso a
school master's phrase
the execution of his threat, but he did not
mention his fears to Anna and her father
for he did not wish to unnecessarily alarm
them. Ho would remain with Anua that
night, ostensibly for tho purposo of con
versing with her but really to shcild them
from danger.
Miller was released, anil without one
word ho left tho house.
As wo havo already intimated, Harry
remained with Anna that night, in order
to protect them should Miller attempt to
wreak his vengeance npou them.
Near about ton o'clock, a bright light
shouo in the room in which they wcro sit'
ting, and in a moment more it was com.
plctcly enveloped by flames. Tho awful
truth at once flashed-unon them. Miller
had fired the house.
Harry seized Anna, and bore her from
the house. Then rushing back again, ho
wakened tho Judgo and they set to work
to save tho valuables, for tho building was
now so far gone, that it was impossible to
extinguish tho fire. By tho rapidity with
which they worked, they succcdcd in 6aving
everything but the house itself, and a small
portion of tho poorer furniture, but the
houso was laid in ashes.
Two years have elapsed sinco the scenes
abovo feebly described, took place. A now
houso ba.3 been erected upon tho sito of tho
old ono, which is occupied by Harry War
ner and his wife. Mr. aud Mrs. Warner
are blessed with a pretty curly headed boy,
just ono year old, tho pride aud pet of his
happy parents.
Judgo Clairmout died soon after tho
marriage of Anna and Harry, which took
place just thrco weeks from tho day of
Miller's punishment, he had never been
heard of since that long-to-bo-remcmbcred
evening.
It is tho early dawn of morning, and
Harry is about to tako a journey.
"How long will you bo gone, Harry t"
asks tho wifo, whoso beauty if not dimin
ished by tho two years that havo rolled
over her head sinco last wo saw her, but is
oven enhanced by her look of happiness
and contentment.
"I shall bo back by night," replied
Harry.
"Though ashamed of my foolishness,
yet I must confess that a deep fear creeps
over mo. Hasten, return, tiearest."
"I will, Anna, but do not bo afraid, you
aro perfectly safo here, for it is scarcely
known that there i3 such a family of War
ners, or such a houso as this, hero iu the
wilderness, except by our nearest neigh
bors." "1 know it, and yet I cannot banish from
my mind, tho stories of tho wonderful rob
ber." "Do not let such thiugs as that troublo
you. Tho stories wo have heard of tho
of tho pistol reached their ears, they rus'a
cd to tho kitchen, from whenco it proceed
ed, and saw their leader lying dead upon
the floor, and Anna upon tho point of de
scending the cellar steps, Ono of them
took his pistol, and taking deliberate aim,
ho fired, but fortunately for Anna, just as
tho villain fired, tho stops whereon sho was
standing, broke, and tho bullet whistled
over her head.
Seeing her fall, both robbers deemed
that the bullet had done tho work upon
which it was sent, and stepped up to tho
door to sec if sho was quite dead or not,
when seizing her other pistol sho fired, and
ono of them stretched himself out in the
agonies of death.
Tho remaining ono drew his pistol from
his bosom and snapped, but it missed fire.
Anna now crept back into tho cellar out
of his sight, and ho retired from tho door,
lest ho should share tho fato of hia com
panions. Tho robber had tho advantage of Anna,
inasmuch as ho was on tho outside, whilo
sho was safely penned up. Aftor trying
various devices to get her to como out of
her hiding place, ho threatened to burn
tho houso over her head if sho did not
come out.
Her condition was now truly dcplorible.
Sho was at tha mcroy of a despicable rob
ber, who was bent on revenging tho death
of his comrades, and she resolved to pcr
ish in tho flames, rather than submit her
self to him, sho therefore did not reply to
ins mrcai.
Her babo was screaming with affright,
and tho began fondling him with nil a
mothers' tenderness, expecting soon to sco
tho flames burst abovo their heads and
that thoy should soon perish together.
While thus sitting fondling hor babe,
sho was startled by the report of a rifle,
and the sound of something falling heavily

Miller bore it. as well as ho could, but the "I know it Harry, I know my fears aro
violence of Anna's blows, caused him to idlo and foolish, aud I will try to vauish
"screech out" crlcj of pain, and to utter them from my iniud, but please return as

once. Wo want yourself and your money."
"What would you havo with a poor
helpless woman ?"
"Wo would faiu havo your company,
fair lady."
"Tako our money, but lcavo mo with
our babe.''
"Hah! woman! cease your pleadings,
thev are vain and useless. 1 will now in-
docd havo my revenge."
Now, for tho first time, tho truth flashed
upon her. Tho leader of tho robber gang
was Henry Miller, and sho was in hi3 pow
er. What should she do ! At first sho
gavo way to her feelings, and began to
weep, but not wishing to betray her emo
tion, with one great effort, she dashed
away her tears, and said, in a voice so
calm, it surprised even herself, so unlike
her agitated feelings was it.
"You are Henry Miller, aro you?"
"I am Henry Miller, at your service,
Mrs. Vi arncr."
"Of any other person I would ask mer
cy for tho sako of my husband and my
child, but from such a man, nay I will
not call you a man, from such a brute as
you, I will not. You say you will have
your revenge ; none but a miscrable,sueak-
ing, cowardly wretch would seek to tako
revenge of a woman who has no means of
defense."
"Mrs. Harry Warner, beware 1 do not
add insult to the injury you and your
father and Harry oneo did mo. That
night I set firo to your houso, intending
that you should bo consumed in tho flames
But you all escaped. You then thought I
had left tho plaeo never to return again,
but you were sadly mistaken.
I then hid my plan3 to poison you all,
but succeeded only in sending your father
to tho grave. I now havo you in my pow
er, and some of my men have becu sent
after Harry. Harry shall bo hung, your
babe shall stay here aud starve, and you
shall go with us a prostitute."
''God of heaven, forbid!" sho ejaculated,
and, as the diabolical design of the robber
forced itself upon her mind, sho ran and
seized a rifle in ono hand and two pistols in
the other, aud instantly retreated into the
collar, bat when sho arrived thcro, she
bethought herself that sho had forgotten
her babe. She instantly rushed back
picked him up iu her arms, and again re
treated toward tho door of tho cellar, but
just as sho reached it, Miller seized her
roughly by tuo shoulder and attempted to
drag her back, but she drew one of tho
pistols from her dress pockets, where she
had placcA them both beforo she camo out
of tho cellar, and holding it to his heart,
sho pulled trigger. Thcro was a deafen
iiiK report, aud Miller fell to tho floor
dead."
While tho conversation between Anna
and the robber, with tho incidents relative
thereto, wero taking placo, tho two mm
ions of Satan and Uonry Millor, wero in
another room, pilfering, buU as the sound
moment sho heard Harry calling hor. Ho
had already returned, and heard tho threat
of tho rebel, when a well-aimed bullet from
his riflo sent him to his eternal homo.
By somo strango intervention of Provi
dence, Harry had returned from tho set
tlement by a different routo from that
usually taken, and had thus missed tho
company which Miller had sent to capturo
him.
Never after that day wcro Harry and
Anna disturbed by tho gang of robbers,
that commonly ply our western frontier.
They both lived to a good old age, nnd in
pcaco descend to their graves.
Their descendonts aro now very numor
