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

At length the eventful morning came—one of

warmth of summer lingered!' the hazy landscape

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

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

own youthful days. and prophesied—
" He'll not come with the eompan3 •I - e

And the evi lit justified the prediction —al
least in part; for. ou arriving opp ok iit,

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!"

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. Nor was
the 'consternation =natural: for many fathers
and mothers were theta nho had left their housed
