And. beside, Jane had grown almost to a•quatihood in the precincts of the Old Do minion; and, in her new home, was as well known for the superior neatness of her dress, as for oth er advantages of mind and person. . At length the eventful morning came—one of t i n .. magnificent autumn days in which the warmth of summer lingered!' the hazy landscape .1 the waning year. They say Italian skies arc beautiful throughout the seasons; but it seems to to, the autumn lutist be the glory of the mouths inAall 'climes, as fall manhood is the ultimate bloom of life to all men; and existence, i n .t countryowliere the climate gives no Special lwall!) L. IL' year's decline, world seem but lit tle better titan working in a tread-mill. We muma have variety; the perpetual, smile of even a beautiful floe would weary us in time; and six month, of unbroken sunshine would make us ing for a Scotch 'mist. There is no such mo notony in the land of prairi* nor has any coun try iu the world a season of more rich and mel low glories than the western autumn. and 'wily nig wide sawastruis, luxuriant as oriental garit.us, over which the shadows chase each oth r rtatclily, or linger lovingly, like shady islets; in a ": , ea of green." And then the tempered sunlight, all shunt of sununer's fierceness, by the hely, dream-like air, and, overall, the araing sky, not laughing, as in April, and not glowing, like July, but full of deep repose, the holy calm of spirit-land.

The atm scarcely began to decline toward the west, ere they first were teen approaching. Ft= all di rections along the narrow road, over pie path ways, emerging from the timber, or riding slow ly along its outskirts, the whole country seemed in motion. Thomas Fielding, with his two song - , all in their' holyday suits, stood at the gate, and welcomed all comers with a hearty shake of the hand; while at the front door the younger rua , trims, with their swilling mother, received the females of each party. The bride- elect was not yet visible; the ceremony was not to take place till evening. The bridegroom - 114 i appointed a rendezvous for his company of rangers; and it woe at the bead of these trusty guardian's of the settlement, that he was to approach the scene of his *pin t os. In the meantime, the guest, employed the vacant lanuts, each according his fancy, the men in Whirl over the prospects of the twangy, the danger of Indian incursions, the plenty Of the crops, etc.; while chi women w ere o ith ee tosisting . in the final preparations the feast, or reedjusting their either gossipii*with the znot ,using lie daughter, who still kept her bridal chamber Four o'clock in the dternoon arrived; and now the happy captain, with his rangers, might soon be expected; whcn Jane, her prcp,tratiN . us all complete, at last *tied from her chamber, and announced her inteetion to walk out upon the prairie and gather soitte wild flowers Sev eral of.the younger girls proposed to are o rnpan ) her, but with a smile and a blush she declined their companionship It was not pressed upon her, for each bad a suspicion of her object Th,• mother's called their daeghtera aside, and wiii- Pered— "She is going to meet the vaptain—let her go alone " And, in confirmation of thy' suspicion, she pass ed out to the southward and took a p3t.ll„ which led in the direction ,tt . the road along *lila the captain was to come Somewhat more than half a mile from the house stood a little vrove, within which she had often met Edgar on his visits to her father's, and from this pint her parents usually saw them approaching the house together. It was to this grove thattshe went— hy a circuitous route, however, .so as to justify her excuse for leaving the hou.se,l4-gathering few late flowers. She had been absent from the house little more than an hour, when, rounding a "point" of timber, which put. , wt from the creek .iliout two miles below the farm, a cavalcade of twenty horsemen-was seen, and at one,. recoghiz. , l cs Edgar's company ~ t ringer- .litother • about equal in numbei, wa seen at the .aiee time several miles to the we4t. but all attQntion was now directed toward the soutt, in expecta tion of the appearance of the rangers The el der ladies smiled sedately, in memory of their own youthful days. and prophesied— " He'll not come with the eompan3 •I - e Jane and him coming up that path, after awhile And the evi lit justified the prediction —al least in part; for. ou arriving opp ok iit, grove Edgar turned off, and directing hi- v.. 111. panions to ride on, put hi , hor,. ,apj Was soon within the iihn.h.wn of tltd n uu, /yolk. A vine and • fallen tree, together, formed tt pleasant Rest; and here, when the s.ltie, wen clear and sunlight warm, he h td ofi:u found 11 , -, his appoatiell .11. ow 1 .1.u_1• now, bet she was not there' "She must be out soon," he nnirtrred to lion self; and springing to the ground, to the seat which he had expected Alb find ,mieup , ,d He was disappointed, and both hi.- lace and u t titude betrayed it._ He leaned his ride again,t tree and threw himself back to wait, patiently a., he might, for what was not likely to cone Lad he waited till morning! His eyes wandered candy over the scene for some minutee, tsh , suddenly springing up, he ezelainted— "She has been here and gone away!" A narrow strip of white muslin was liangni upon a thorn very near him—evidently torn fr,,ltt some article of female dress! It could not be signal for him; only accident could have minced it there. She must have retreated in haste--and why? Such were the reasonings of the experi enced ranger He reached forward and took it off the briar; but, as be did so, his eye fell upon a more ominous object' The saute bu.. 11 had r, , - mined a piece of red ealico, fringed with green. fnd Edgar at once observed that it had come rom the cape of a hunting-shirt such as the north ern Indians wore' It was enough! And yet, with the coolness characteristic of his race, the ranger stooped te the ground and calmly examined the record tit a struggle. On each side of the rustic scat there was single footstep, deeply indented among the leaves, as it two men had sprung suddenly from opposite directionsto a common point. Thou, in front of the seat, the twigs were broken the ground was trampled—'though but little, a, if thelltriggle had been brief and feeble! 'No man could have , beeu overpowered soon," he said; "and it must baie lien :s• I t x - peael—fs he was alone." But even this •conviction did not hurry luni away. He carefully examined the ground in the neighborhood, andi.then, returning to the scene; of the struggle, followed the trail, by those slight indications which none but a backw o od•wau could have discovered, for several bundrad yards to the westward. He thus ascertained these fact.:— That the actual captors were but two in number; that they had concealed their horsey in a small thicket, some distance above the grove where the capture was made; that they had retreated in great haste, keeping within a ravine which driin ed the prairie-, and that, at or near the ttiteect they had rejoined the main body or ie.e.eteers, consisting of half-a-aeore of horsemen. • "They have been frightened away by the gath ering at Fieldin:" thought the ranger. He hastened back to the grove, and springing upon his horse, galloped away toward the bowie He had still's lingering hope, though faint, that 'he might find his bride at a home; but thi:4 vanish ed at once when he rode furiously to the gate and was met by her father. "Indians!" he shouted, in the loud, full notes of a voice like a trumpet. "Ho! rangers' Mount and follow!" CHAPTBA 11. Till MASI ditiIdMOINCYD The cause of the alarm scarcely needed to be e xplained:--the word "Indians" was enough. All was immediately is oonfusion---men were rushing in every diiee ties for their arint and horses, women were hastily preparing to set out homeward, and save the rangers, who had picketed their horses together as usual, no one seemed to retain the least coolness.
