"So Bill told me a week ago. He

"Will you trust me 7" said Lucy.

"Then come -with me. Yon wouldn't

lonesome wood-path in which they had!

owned by her father. Springing over the
stone wall, she led her companion by a
short cut across the fields and through the
orchards. The. shadows of twilight were
thick around when they reached a low,
disused out-building. She opened the
door.
'.llcre yoU are safe for the present," she
said, hurriedly. "No search will be made

This was the wild, thoughtless, petted girl V
Her women's heart, true as the needle to

"Now, Lucy," commenced aunt Tabitha,
when she appeared in the sitting room,
"this is what I call scandalous, I know
how late you got home, I saw you run up

"Out taking a walk."
"Taking a walk indeed ! You'd have

"Yes, I can't go," said Lucy.
"Oh ! what are you coming to !' Do
you ever think of the state., you are in,
Lucy ?"
She (lid not answer. and her aunt de
parted for "meeting" with an
,expression
of piona horror.
,Mr. Holmes kept good country hours,
and every one in his house was supposed to
be in bed at ten o'clock. Lucy glided down
to the buttery, and filled a basket aslarge as
she (multi, carry with the best there was.
Thelishe paused, while a nervous trembling
stole •over her. What was she about to
do I'.. 0 - forth alone, at night, to put her
self in the power of a murderer. How
much she ,would have given to run away
to her own room, and bury her face in her
, ; and shut out all responsibility—till
necessity, for, action. But not so—the
pallid and hanger-worn most not die; felon
though he be. Ani 110 trusted her. She
took up , the basket and unbolted the kitch
en door, whoa the wateli-dog began to
bark.
"Hush ! .Bruno, hush ! be quiet !" she
said, as the animal carne towards her.
Recognizing the familiar voice, he sub
mitted to be caressed, bat would not leave
her. She knew notwhat. to do. His
barking, might . already have awakened
souiebody--she started at every sound.—
She harshly ordered the dog away, but his
low growl at this alarmed her far more.—
lle evidently scented the meat in her
basket, and kept continually jumping upon
it. Almost in, despair, she went round to
the other side Of the house, and pulling
out a large piece'of meat, threw it to him,
and , he immediately plunged his teeth in
to it. Then she sped away breathlessly-.
The night was dark and damp. Her
feet were soon wet, and her light form
chilled through, but it was another feeling
that was shaking in every limb. Other
fears, than those of discovery, or the name
less ones of. the night made her breath
come short. All was dark in Joe's hiding
place, and her trembling fingers could not
move fast enough in pushing back the
slide of the dark lantern she carried.—
With the first ray of light, she caught the;
gleam of a pair of fierce eyes in the farthest
corner. She shuddered and drew back.
"Don't be afeard, Miss," said Joe, coin
ing Onward.
• Like a famished wolf he seised on the
fodd. Not a word was spoken for many
miuutes, but broad and moat and . and 1
pickles were fast disuppearirig. At lasti,
Joe looked up. To Lucy the sight of the

was half frightened at the streng th and
vehemence of his expressions, but o again
entreated her to have no fears of him.
"You have saved my life," he said; "and
canyon think rd harm you ? You're 110$
more safe in your own father's parlor than
hme, murderer though I am."
"Mr. Read is dead; I suppose," Raid ho,
after a pause.
"No, he is diving' yet, though there is
no hope of his recovery." • ;
"Pm glad ho isn't dead;" said Joe,
drawing a long breath. ' , There isn't blood
upon my head yet."
"How are you to got away ?" asked
"'can't tell." -• ,
There was a long silence. "I don't 900
any way," said Lucy, obutdon't be 'dis

may happen. You can stay• here in safe

'God bless you, Mime" was the half
choked response, and 'that, night the hunt.
1a felon slept soundly on the premises of
the sheriff far the county: •
"They're off to loole-uftertitiat wretch,
Joe Tucker," said aunt Tableful, coming in
to Lucy 's room the next morning.
At dinner, Mr. Holmes' first words
were, .""We may give it up now. Joe

Lucy was taking her first lesson in the
art which every woman must learn—cow.
wand of countenance. 'She stammered
out some excuse, and left the dining-room
as soon as she could. After dinner the
consciousness of her secret made her fancy
suspicion in her father's every look, - and
when night came how softly . she crept
down stairs!
She - provided herself with a piece of
I meat for 'Bruno, and 'then opened the
kitchen door, and softly - called hire.—
; Leaving him deeply engaged, sho took her
way to the old corn-house. Joe received
her with a kind of affectionate reverence,
as if ahe were a being of another sphere.-
He had made himself a den in the loft, so
concealed that one might search long with-
out finding it. Lucy had brought him
some books and papers, but she found that
he was but an inaifferent reader. She
could devise no plan of °semi° ' and they
both thought it best to wait uwbile.
She had spent the morning in thought,

much more on the joyous little heart that
. had never known a care. How should she
manage his escape ? She thought for a
moment of trusting to her father's kind
heart and warm. generous feelings. In
her child-like ingeniousness she longed to
do so. It seemed so terrible to have to de
cide anything of such importance for her
self and by herself. But uo ! sho remem
bered his strict sense of justice, and stern,
unbending integrity.
Aunt Tabitha appeared at the breakfast
table the next morning with her cap-strings
Hying, and her brows drawn together.
"Some one must have been in the but
tery these last two nights," she commen
ced. "There's heaps of things gone.—
There's a nice leg of lamb, hardly touched
at dinner, and two large pieces of pork—
they're gone. And those apple-pies I
made the other day, two of them wore gone
yesterday morning, and now two more,
and a whole pot of my best pickles, and a
jar of wireetmeats, and I don t know how
many loaves of bread and cake and rolls of
butter. I'm thankful I know nothing a
bout it."
Lucy playtd her part very well this time,
and her father and aunt wondered iu vain
who could be committing tho depredations.
Still the attacks on aunt Tabitha's provis
ions were continued, and Mr. H'oluces
determined, if passible, to ferret out the
thief. After retiring a little earlier than
us ual one night he heard a noise in the
cellar, and proceeded to the spot. Lacy's
feelings can only be imagined when, on
turning herself around, she found her father
just behind her 1 .
"Why.Luoy I" he said, "is it you who
commits thee° depredations ?"
Lucy forced herself to speak calmly.—
"Why, papa, could 'you think that I eat
all those -cold shoulders of lamb and sir
loins of beef that aunt Tabitha mourns so
pathetically ? I want some sugar to drop
lavender on,' and taking a few lumps, she
proceeded up stairs before her father. "A
pretty fool I hive been to jump out of my
bed at this hour for such a minx as you.—
I thought 'I had the thief. I'll not do it
again, at any rate.
The weeks went on. Poor Joe Tucker
learned to lcvo the very, ground on which
Lucy's:teal. Nothing so pretty, so sweet
and delicate had ever come near him be
fore. His untamed• heart was naturally
warm and affectionate, and now it was stir
red to its inmost depths. Tho passionate
devotion with which ho worshipped his
benefactress was a strange feeling to his
wild, ignorant soul. It seemed to open a
new world to him. Every visit showed
Lucy more and . more of the ardor of
the poor fellow's attachment, and every
visit saddened her morn and more as
she felt her own deficiencies. She had a
consciousness, dim at 'first, that this was
the time to sow the seed of good,in that un
tutored heart, and hor's the hand to east
it—but she knew not how to do it. She
thought how fluent aunt Tabttha would be
in such a ease, but ...that was not exactly
the fluency she wished for. - -
For seven weeks Joe Tucker remained
concealed in Mr. Holines'
I' The excitement seemed to be lessened, and
Lucy thought be might try to 'escape.--
1 She had just received her liberal quarterly
! allowance, and she gave him every cout of
it. She disguised him with a complete
i snit of one of their working men, and . ono
night in October stood beside him for the
last time. Poor Joe •could ups speak.—=

mentioned ;. , his excessive reluctance at
first - to learn German. which, however,
Scion became mere his own than French ;
anti his fondness (or historical reading,
and especially for books relating to the ca
reerof his father. , As .a boy, he was, on
the whole. "dull, grave, and worthless ; bat
docile and affectionate. '

The news'of,his father's' death, which'
occurred when he was ten years Of age,
is said, to have produCed - a visible Whet
upon him.. It war evident, indeed, that
the boy, young u lie *wee, had,been brood.
nog in secret ever the mystery of his own
changed. cortditiOn; and cherishink as "well
melte could the thought of its connection'
with the ,; , .extraordinary' human,, being
whom he'could dimlyirecollect as his °fath
er ; whose bust and portraits ho, could
still see ; and who, as they tried to
plain to him; was mitv -shvent; oo in is
land on the other side of the earthywhith
er the nations, of Europe had conspired to
send 'him - for. their own wifely. , The
thought of his father became the buy's
simple passionl 'and; when' he could no
longer think of that father as still existing
on the earth, his respect for his Memory
amounted to a worship. Every book
that could tell anything about his father he
devoured with eagerness ;• and if he ale
rted to hear of the• -arrival of any ono at
Vienna, who had Mid. personal relations
with the emperor, he was uneasy until he
had seen him. , At last to gratify this anx
imp for information, his tutors," at his
grandfather's command, bgan to instruct
.him systematically in modern history and
politics.!, concealing from him tiothing,
says M. de Alonthel, that could enlighten
him as to the real course er his father's
life and its taints on the Condition of Mt:
rone, and only adding such comments and
Moesitioes as might make him ewer°, at
was to , be rUpialiended. •
Perplexed by such !mono in history,
according to Metternich, the poor boy ;did
his best to come to the right .conelusion
and to express himself judiciously to his
tutors regarding what he was taught to
consider his father's errors , and excesses.
In all cases of leoling and Instinct, howev
er, his reverence for the memory or his
father prevailed. The very hooks which
his father had liked, such as Taatto, and
Ossian, became tor that reason his favor
ites. His father's campaigns and dis,
pawing he made a subject of diligent ate
dy, using them as a text fur h i s own mili
tary lessons In short, before he had at
tained his seventeenth year, he had road
and re-read everything , that had been writ
'len regarding Nalioleon, and had fixed in
his memory all the most minute particu
lars relating to hie military or political life,
the names of his generals, hie chief battles
and the various incidents,'in his long career,
from his birth in CorSica to his burial in St. 1
Helena. :One point in this great history
he would dwell on with special interest—.l
that where ,amid universal acelamatigns,
lie himself had come Into, the world the
unconscious heir to a mighty empire.
This brooding on the past naturally as
sumed the form of a restless anxiety 're-",
specting the future.
,T sulfa(
hat he, the '
Napoleon, was no common person; .that,
as the ower of a great name, superior no
tions and qualifications would be required
of hint ; that in some' way or other he ,
must take part in the affairs of Europe—
such,,was' the idea that inevitably took' l
possession of him. The pedantry of his
teachers seems to have fostered it to
undue extent. . lf, for , example, the poor
youth contracted admiration for the poet
Byron, his teachers were at hand to criti
ejbe the poet for him, and .reduce his o
onion to the juat shape and standard,
teat he should commit what, in his case,
would besignal impropriety of exaggerated
praise. If, again, he was seen to be fall-,1
ing in love with a lady of his grandfather's;
court, they were at hand to reason hint
lout of the affair by considerations of what
was due to his peculiar situation, and his
importance in the public eye. With' this.
notion of the peculiarity of his position,
brandished before him frOm Morning , CU ,!
night, de would go molting about'the
perial court, an amiable • but unhapp y)
youth. And what, alter all, was the pe.:
culiarity of his situation, except extreme ,
insignificance.

Imperial bounty, ultimately the mere pos.

mockery in all that solicitude of which he
found himself the, object ? Hauntrel, it
would appear, by some such feeling. and

that he Must do something ort,iitlier to mer

made him, in many respect, alien to it ;
but certain cords there wore which still
secretly bound him to France. t4I know

transacted. Had young Napoleon been
