Otar steward was a strange character, though meth
respected and beloved by my father. He bad lop s
been suspected of an attachment to the losing csa •
He and his brother were the last of an old and re I
spectable family, the members of which had lost their 1
substance during the civil wars, by their loyalty to
the house of Stewart. He was of a gloomy, reserver i
turn of mind—singularly handsome in face, and sa.
most gigantic in stature—but he wanted urbanity of
manner and goodness of expression. 1
Notwithstanding the guilt of his brother and the 1.
rumors of his own connection with the rebels, toyfatts.
er continued to retain him in his service, and to en-
i
trust him implicitly with all his affairs. 1
About a mouth offer the execution, oursteward died
—some said, by his own hand; but my father would • i
t
not allow of this interpretation, and gave out that i
his death was the resnit of an apoplectic fit. All I
know upon the subject is, that going one evening into t
the room where the corpse was laid, doting the ale
sense of the watch, I raised the napkin from time 1
face, and saw, that though the features still retained ,
their beauty of outline and pride of expression, the 1
complexion, naturally dark, had become qiiiit' e. taiall
in color. '
I rode at a sharp pace, as I neared the gibbet, t
heard footsteps behind me, and just as I came beatnik - I
it, a tall man strode to my side, and laid his hand upon ,
my bridle. ate
"Yon have ridden fast !" he said, "bnt I think I
in time." My horse stopped instantly, trembling in
every limb; I urged him with whip and spur, bit Do& I
ing would induce him to pass the gibbet; the man had i
taken his hand from the rein the moment the base - I
ceased to move. He carried across his elmolder s
stuff, to the end of which was attached an iron hook;
with this 'instrument he endeavoi ea to disengage the
copse from the gibbet. My blood froze in my veins i
as rI
recognized the held profile and black complexion
of my father's late steward.. "Yon need not urge your
horse—l have need of him to nights" and as he spoke
the body fell from the tree: he received it, chains and
all, in his arms ! "Dismount !" he said.
"Dismount I—never 1 " And I raised my heavy rid.
ing whip, and struck with all my force at the black
face of the stewards the blow passed through the air,
and fell harmlessly upon the chains round the felon,
and I, deprived of sons.: by senses in. isible 'power, fell
forwards from my saddle.
When I recovered myrcif it was broad daylight I
was lying beneath a gibbet, the corpse swung slowly
in the wind above my heed, but my horse was gone.
I arose and walked quickly home. As I reached the •
gate 1 met two of my father's servants coming in search
of me; they had found my horse fastened to the stable
door, and bearing marks of having been hard ridden.
Io answer to their inquiries, 1 made some excuse
about my horse has ing thrown me and that I had been
stunned by the fail. Charging them not to mention
the circumstance to my father, I entered the hall. I .
told my set\ w none of the family; but, immediately
after breakfast, I proceeded to Chester House, to in.
form my friend George Chester, of the events of the
preceding night.
George:Chester was as brave, as handsome, as gal.
lant, and as true a friend as ever trod this ear th. We
were sworn brothers in love, and hoped soon to be
brothers by the nearest and dearest ties; for George
was a' ready engaged to my beautiful sister Rebecca,
and I was paying assiduous court to the gentle Mary
Chester.
Georee laughed heartily at my story. "Come,
come, Tom, you were dreaming; confess you were a lit.
tie elated by Sir Gregory' s claret, and wouldfain make
some creditable excuse for your tumble from Brown
Robin."
"George," I said, "you love a jest; but this is none.
Will you ride with me to-morrow night, at the same
hour, and in the same direction?"
"That will I, most valiant Tom," laughed Georges
"and if this black man be civil, I will ask him to sup.
per. ,,
"George," said I, solemnly, " yon will not laugh la
this way at this time to-morrow.'
This redoubled his mirth; however, he promised to
keep my adventure secret. We agreed to dine togeth
er at the neighboring town, and to pass across the moor
in the same dire ction, and at the same hour, as I had
done the night previous.
I
Accordinelv twelve o'clock found us turning from
n .
the highway on to the path over the common;before
doing so, we looked searchingly in every direction, but
saw signs of nothing living; yet we had not been upon
the moor one minute, when, on again looking back,
we perceived a tall black figure following us, tarrying
on his shoulder a long staff.
"There he is, George, with the identical hook."
"There surely is some one. Tom! Now let es give
him some exercise;" and put spurs to our horses.
Five minutes at a hand gallop brought us to the gib
bet; but the black man was there as soon, and laying his
hand on Chester's rein. he said.: "You ride hard, gen
tlemen! but I think I am in time."
"We ride apace, old boy; but you fly."
I "Mr. Chester, I shall want your horse," said the
man, as he commenced the work of hooking down
work
the corpse.
George laughed scornfully—" Shall I walk, t ha t
you may ride?"
"Nay, then, ride also, if you will"' And the num,
as he ;aid these words, strove to lift the body

had fallen into his arms) on the horse before
Chester.
George drew his pistol, and fired right in the stew.
arc's fare. My horse, frightened by the report, fled
a cross the common; in a few moments, I had reined
him in and returned to the gibbet,- beneath which I
found my friend extended, senseless—the man, the
bode, and the horse were gone!
Some time elapsed before George reeovered his
consc iousness; when he aid so, 1 could not induce
him to proceed home: he would wait and see the tc
turn of the body, for we doubted not it would return.
We paced backwards and forwards beneath the gib.
bet for some hours, and leaned against its foot, keep.

mained in this position until the first streaks of dawn,
when we were startled by a low neigh from my horse,
(whom 1 held by the bridle,) and a slight noin of
chains bellied; both rose at once—the corpse wan
swinging violently overhead, as if from tyre impulse
of a sudden jerk. Georges horse, all reeking with
sweat and foam, stood close beside him; but the block
