CHAPTF.R VI C6i;TVlED
Th strange expression of his face alarm -!
Cameron, ami in answer to her inquiry
of what caused Ir. Frederic dropped his face
into his hand and groaned.
" It is all over with me, Camcrone, the
worst has come and I am ruined.
" What do you mean Frederic ? Oh, tell
5;fi, is there some new evil about to happen ?"
ciclaimed Gaiuerona, appreheca'irely.
" The village hotel is burnt to ahes. and
in three hours officers of justice will be Lcrc
to arrest rue for setting it on fire."
1 here are no wj'nsses that can prove
it," said Camcrone speaking against her own
convictions.
Frederic cighd
" If it is tried the suit will certainly go
against me," said he, slowly.
' And what will be tho consequence ?"
"A term of confinement in the States pris
on ."
" It cannot, it sh tU not be!" cried Cam
erone, epringing from the bed with a sudden
energy. I will go to Noyes Willard myself,
and urge him to stop this inhuman persecu
tion "
' No, Camerone, you must do.no such
thipg," rejoined Frederic gloomily. " It
woula not be of the slightest use, and worlds
would not tempt me to have you personally
exposed to the enmity of that man a moult
ing tongue. There is a way to avoid this
disgrace, and, before I will be taken by offi
cers again, I will doit."
What is it?" asked Camerone.
I will destroy myself. They shall nev
er take me alive."
"Oh, Fred," my darling brother, has it
eoma to this, that you. speak so firmly of self
murder ? Have you forgotten your love for
our father and mother, for William, and poor
little Carrie, whom such a shock will certain
ly destroy ? Have you forgotten your aflec
tion for vie, your confidant and companion
from youth ? Is there no .confidence in Ood
left in your soul ? J)o not think of that, my
brother. Pat the possibility of such a thing
m far from your mind as Heaven is from
earth, and find some other means of deliver
nce from the power of this man."
Camerone spoke vehemently, and with an
earnestness that touched her brother's heart.
8he paused for a reply, but he did not speak.
M she uresmcd.
Will money bribe Mr. Willard to settle
this affair ?"
Frederic shook his head.
" Then only one course is open for you to
pursue you must leave Holly undercover of
darkness, and go to some place where he can
not follow you," said she resolutely
' I have thought of that but cannot do it.
I have not money enough to support me
till I could get into some kind of business."
" How much nill you need?"
44 I think I could get along with fifty dol
lars," said Frederic, thoughtfully 44 and I
have ten towards this amount."
" Forty dollars," mused Camerone 44 Fa
ther's funds are rather low at the present
time, and he has a considerable amount to
pay for the stock that he bought last fall ; so
we must not expect it from him. Eat I can
get it for you, Fred, I can, and I will if you
cac secrete yourself somewhere till night."
A gleam of hope illuminated Frederic's
face as he met the encouraging glance of his
sister,
44 Heaven bless you, Camerone," he ejacu
lated, 44 and if I am ever unmindful of your
devoted, self sacrificing love, may all the
emotions die cut of my soul, and my heart
become petrified within me."
44 We have no iime for words, Fred," said
Camerone, as she imprinted a kiss on her
brother's forehead ; 44 but must act immedi
ately, Ifyouknowof any place where you
will be secure from discovery to-day, seek
it at once, and leave tho rest to ma. I will
procure clothing aud money for you, and
meet you to-nibt in the maple hollow "
" And who will tell my parents and Wil-
am.
44 1 will, if you have not time ; but haste
oh, haste!" cried Camerone, with excitement,
or all my efforts will be too late. I will
ring Wiliiam with me to-night, and perhaps
you can come and bid father an 1 mother good
bye. We will tell you if you can do so with
afety."
Frederio arose and fastened his coat.
4Thore," saiJ Camerone, bringing a cloak
and hood from an adjoining closet, 44 these
may be of some service to you as a disguise.
They belong to Sabrina, and the cloak is very
ong, so that it will aim ost conceal your wholo
body. Where will you go ?"
To the cuffio cave." answered Frederic as
he took the articles auJ put them on. ' I
can take the rcute across the six aere lot and
escape notice ; for if any one should see ms ,
they would think it was Sabrina going Lome.
You know her mother lives in that direction.
and she often goes that way when .she spends
her Sundajs at home."
He laid his hand on the door nob, but
Camerone arrested his departure by pronoun
cing his name
44 One moment," said she with tearful eyes,
Tell ma, is there auy hope for your acquit
tal if yosi should Le brought to trial?"
44 None whatever, Ir. Lawson says the
case is hopeless. I was found in the wood-
f-hed, whjtLtr I had been attracted by the
blaze of fire, and several of Willard's fiiends
say that they stand ready to swear they saw
me apply a lighted torch to the dry wood.
Thus you see that, although I am innocent,
the law will pronouce me guilty, and punish
me accordingly."
44 Then go without dtlay, and may God
help us to evade this calamity as best we caD,
They cannot find you to day, for, save you
and William, no one but me knows of the
existance of the c(ffin cave; and to-morrow
must find you beyond their reach."
Without a word, Frederic traversed the
hall that led from Oameronc's room to the
staircase, and descended the back stairs, pas
sed through an ante room that led to a side
door in the left wing of the house. He met
no one, and hurrying across a field that lay
back of the old mansion, he was 60on lost to
view amid a cluster of beech trees, that stood
upon the summit of a steep slope, a quarter
of a mile distant.
Camcrone followed him to the door, and,
after watphing till he was out of sight, went
to the dining room in search of her father and
mother. To her surprise 6he found that they
had taken Carrie, who was much better, and
gone away to visit her unole, Mrs. Southwick's
only brother, who lived five miles from
Beechnut Farm. This Sabrina told her, and
whep 6he inquired for William, she learned
that he had gone up the mountains, in com
pany with his dog and gun, to hunt for game.
44 Your mother went to your room to tell
you she was going away, but she found you
asleep, and she tol'J me not to disturb you,
as you had a bad bead ache Do you feel better
now?'' said Sabrina, as she proceeded to take
a baking of mince pics from the old fashioned
brick oven."
' Yes. I do not suffer any pain now, " re
plied Camerone, and, as she left the kitchen
she thought, she would have to work alone,
as William was not there, for all the support
poor Fred could lean upon in Lis difficulties.
EBEXSBURG.. PA. WEDNESDAY, .JUT. 5, 1861.
Decision and promptness were two promi
nent traits in the character of Camerone South
wick, and she at once called them into action.
A few months previous her wealthy uncle had
presented her a superb silk dress pattern, and
it lay uncut in one of the drawers of her ma
hogany dressing case.
Camerone remembered that the only daugh
ter of the principle merchant ia Holly had
expressed great admiration for this piece of
silk, and wished to get one like it ; so she de
termined to dispose of it and thus procure the
necessary means to defray her brother's trav
elling expences. At any ether time this
might have been deemed no small sacrifice ,
as it was, she regarded it without regret, fee
ling thankful that she could aid Frederic in
any way. Folding tho dress in a neat pack
age, she arrayed herself in a warm riding
habit, and stepping into the kitchen again,
informed Sabrina that the was going to the
village, and would cot be back within two
hours. Then sho went to the stable, and,
saddling the only remaining horse there, she
led him to the horse block, mounted, and
rode hurridly away.
CHAPTER VII
It was near the middle of the afternoon
when Camerone returned to Beechnut Farm ;
and here she found Sabrina in a state of in
tense excitement. The officers of justice had
been there, and after a fruitless search for
Frederic, had gone away to look elsewhere,
leaving the faithful domestic highly indig
nant at their audacity in declaring Frederic
guilty of a crime that Ehe averred ho never
committed.
44 They are coming back this evening, Miss
Camerone, and one of them says he will stay
all night, s j that he can see when the youcg
man comes home." said sho.
44 Which way did they go, when they
left?" asked Camerone.
44 Towards neighbor Coles," answered Sa -brina.
,, Thank God they will not find him there,"
thought Camerone. as she sack back upou the
sofa and loosened the strings of her felt ri
ding hat. A quick, short rap on the front
door reached her ear, and before she had
time to answer it, Ilattie Grey, with her face
flushed and her eyes blazing like fire, her
dress in wild disorder, ard her arm in a sling
stood in the center of the room, panting for
breath .
Camerone arose from her seat and advan
ced towards her with a look of inquiry.
44 Tell me laiy am I at Ujoc'auut Farm ?"
questioned the young girl, hurriedly.
44 You are," replied her companion.
' And you arc Miss Southwick."
Camerone bowed assent.
The girl took one step forward, and said,
with eagerness
44 Lady, I come to you for shelter and
protection. I am the ward of Noyes Wil
lard. anl his cruelty has driven me from
home. For two weeks Miss Southwick, I have
been kept under lock and key in a dismal at
tic, because I threatened to expose the vil
lanous projects of this man ; and during that
time my only food has been rye bread, while
I have been obliged to drink sour milk as a
subsitute for water. Look," and shoving up
the sleeve of her maimed arm, displayed a
place below the elbow where the delicate
flesh had been lacerated. 44 For along
time I could not sleep in such a place
but, last night, I was so overcome with fa
tigue that I slept until the rats had gnawed
this wound in the arm, when the pain awoke
me. To-day I made my escape, and they
tracked me to the woods, but I got clear of
them there, and came here for safety. Will
you afford it to me ? Tell me, Miss South
wick. or must I go on ? for I never will re
turn home to Noyes Willard."
Tho large mournful eyes of the young or
phan looked pleadingly into Cameron's face,
as she awaited her reply, and the color died
out leaving it very pale.
44 I will be a sister and a friend to you,
Miss Grey." said Camerone gently ; 44 and if
it is possible, will secrete you from your un
natural guardian. But wo must waste no
time, for you are exposed to the possbility of
discovery any minute. Com withme." and she
led the way to her room, followed by Ilattie.
who paused to look out of the hall window,
and see if any one was approaching.
Scarcely an hour had elapsed when Wil
liam Southwick arrived at home, warm with
fatigue and perplexed by doubts and anxict
concerning Frederic. A neighbor had im
parted to him the news of his brother's es
cape from the officers, and the nature of the
accusation brought against him. but further
than this he knew nothing of the events of the
day.
44 1 will be a sad blow to our parents," sail
the young mau, when he had listened to a
recital of Frederic's escape.
Camerone gazed earnestly at his troubled
brow
4 Do you think it wrong for Fred to go
away in this manner," she asked.
4 4 No. Hi
is circumstances place Iiim in a
position which gives him only a choice be
tween two unpleasant cources : To stay and
meet his fate, which will be a very disgrace
ful one, cr to leave his friends and homo un
der the mask of secrecy, and with the stigma
of suspicion attached to his name. Poor Fred!
The social scales are not balanced in his fa
vor "
A low, painful cry smote painfully on Cam
crone's car, and she turned quickly towards
the window.
Her filier was coming up the walk, with
Carrie in his arms, and befoia the gave stood
the horses and carriage, from which Mrs.
Southwick was alighting. Farther back sat
Noyes Willard, on a splendid grey horse,
that was impatiently ttriking his iron bound
hoof upon the gravel, and champing his bit,
uttering a low neigh as it strove to free its
elf from the rein.
In an instant William and Camerone com
prehended all. Tha child had been frigh
tened into convulsions at the appearance of
this aian, for whom she entertained feelings
of the strongest terror ; and as her little form
was laid upon a couch, the sight of her pale
sweet face brought a torrent of tears from
Camcrone8 eyes. The scene that followed
was but a copy of tho many that had prece
ceded it, and the midnight hour had struck
before Camerone found a moment of release
from the care cf the child. Then leaving
Ilattie Grey to watch over hzr, tho brave girl
made a few necessary preparations, and elu
ding the rigilence of tho ocer who was sit
ting in the dining room, she procedd down
the back staircase, out at the side door and
across the field to a clump of trees, when the
moonlight cast a fiickeiing shadow between
each branch. William was awaitiDg hr
here, and the two went on in silence.
Far up the mountain back of Beechnut
Farm, lay a ridge between a ledge of rocks
and a group of maple trees. Descending
this ridge, the brother and sister found them
selves in a deep hollow, harbored on one side
by tall rocks over which hung matted scree-
nings of evergreens, aa l the other by a hill
they hal just left, while farther back hue
maples rose tgainst the tky, shutting out a
view of everything except the niooii and stars
Here," sail Camerone pausing, 44 there
is no chance of discovery. Listen ! is not !
. . v i .
that Freds signal' and she grasped her
brother's arm as they bent forward to catch
a repetition of the sound. It was a trill of
a nightengale , and as William heard it he
replied wtth the note of a whip-por will.
A branch of evergreens parted from abov
what seemed to be an impenetrable rock, and
a head was cautiously thrust out, while Fred
eric scrutmiz.d the two figures standing down
in the ravine Satisfied that they were Wil
liam and Camerone, he slowly emerged from
hia hiding place and swung himself down by
the ail of the ivy vines, walking rapidly til
he reached their sides.
4 Heaven Le praised ! 30U have come at
last," he said in a low voice. 44 I had al
most given up in despair."
Hastily explaining the cause of their de
tention, Camerone placed a purse of money
iu her brother's hand, and, without trusting
herself to speak a good bye, pressed a kiss
upon his brow, and turned aw3y in silence
while William linglrcd a few moments to
give Frederic a few parting admonitions.
44 You must go to Winchester, Fred, and
and get aboard the train there, for there is
less danger of your being tracked to that
station, And remember, we shall expect a
letter from you right off. Good bye, my
boy."
44 Good bye, Will," said Frederic, wring
ing his hand. 44 Watch over Camcrone, and
see that no evil befalls her, and carry my
love and adieus to father and mother. Good
bye."
Drawing his coat collar up, Frederic South
wick dashed aside a tear as he walked away,
leav'mg his brother still remaining in the
ravine.
Once again in her little chamber, and Cam
erone experienced a reaction of feeling.
While there was something for her to perform
she worked cheerfully without dwelling upon
the sorrows that encompassed her ; but. now
that Frederic had gone, she looked forward
with despondency to the future, and, ia the
midst of her fitful slumber Carrie tursl upon
her pillow and murmured
44 The sunshine ! oh, will it never come
again ? Take me away, or I shall die under
the shadow the deep, deep shadow."
CHAPTER VIII.
Tub week following Frederic's departure
was an anxious one to his friends, au J a time
cf great excitement in Holly. The surroun-
j ding neighborhood and country was strictly
: scoured by Willard's friends, no traces were
found of the accused, and the rage of his ene-
, my know no bounds.

Fanuy Fern (Mrs. Tarton,) Laving lost Lcr
eldest daughter in marriage, niake the follow ir.j
reflections, by Lcr rather fciyn'fkant. When Le
penned them 4,Doesticks" ( Mr. Thorn i sto.) had
probably just declared his iiitenticns:
How any young follow can have the face to
walk into your family and deliberately aak for
one i f yonr daughters, surprises me. That it is
done every day does not lcssc-u my astonish meut
at the sublime impudence of the thing. There
you have bzzn, eighteen or twenty years of your
Ilia, combing her hair and va.-hing her face for
him ! It is lucky the thought nevtr strikes you
while pou are doing it, that it ia to be the end
of all. What if you were married yourself?
that is no icason why she bhould be witched away
into a separate establishment, v.t as you lgin
to lean upon, aud fil proud of her ; or at leas,
it stands to reason that after you Lave worried
her through the mcas-els. the chicken pox, scar
let lever and the whooping coush, and had hor
properly baptisc-d and vacinated, this your.g man
might give you a short bteathiug time before she
goes. lie seems to ba of a different opinion, he
not only insists on takii.g her, but on taking her
immediately, if not sooner, lie talks well about
it very we'd ; you Lave no objection to him.
not the least in the world, except when the world
is full of girls, why couVl't he Lis eye on the
daughter of sotnelvxiy else ? There are some
parents who are glad to get rid of their daught
ers. I Hue eyes aie as plenty as Wrrks; why
need it be tLis particul.tr pair ? Don't the have
meat, and bread and clothes enough, to say
nothing of love ? What is the use of a certain
ty, f t an une-ertainty, when that ecriainty is a
mother, and you can r.ve-r have but cue? You
put all tl ese questions t o her and she Las the
raucircss to ask if that is the way you reasoned
when father came for you. You disdain to an
swer, i-f e-ourse; it is a mean d-nlging of the
question. Put she gets around you for all that ;
and so d-s he too. though you try your bet not
to like him ; and with Well if I must, I must,"
you just order her wedding clothes, muttering to
yourself the while, dear, doar. what Sort cf a
fist will that child mke at the head of a Lc-nse ?
How wiil she know what to do in this, that or
any other emergency ? she who i calling on
mother fifty t;me i d.iy to settle every trilling
question ! What folly for her to set up a house
f-r herself. How many mothers Lave had those
foreboding thoughts over daughter ! And yet
that daughter has met life and its unexpected re
verses, with a, heroism and courage as undaunted
as if every girlish fear had not been kissed away
by lip?, that alas! may Ikj dust, when tL bap
