Though label Lucas had oommitted a very ice. prudent action, in marrying a man who was a perfect stranger to her, nevertheless the predom mating feature of her mind was p rot ietioe The impressions just made upon her senses were of a very agitating nature, yet knowing that it was do late to act upon them, she conosaled her emo tions There could be no doubt, that she had Te -1 ceived what in her native country is called a .4warniog;" yet conceived that her best course was to go on, sad betray no suspicion, she never ' , faltered in any of her promises to her husband She was nett day installed in Mr. Fordyne's own house, to whom, in return, she committed a sum rather above four hundred pounds; for to that , extent bad she increased her stook in the coarse of her late employment For some time matters proceeded very well.— Her husband professed to lay out her money up on those goods which he had formerly represent 'ed himself as unable to buy. His habits of ap plicatiuu were rather increased than diminished, and a tew customers of a more respectable kind than any tiP had hitherto bad, began to frequent his chop, being drown thither in consideration of hi. wife Among the new wrtieles be dealt in wan whiskey, which be bought in large quantities from the distillers, and sold wholesale to a num ber of neighboring dealers By and by this branch of his trade seemed to outgrow all the rest, and be found himself occassionally obliged to pay ' visits to the places where the liquor was menu. factored, in order to purchase it at the greatest advantage His wife in a little while became aoeustomed to his obscene* for a day Of two at a time, and having every reason to believe that his affairs were in a very prosperous state, began to forget all her former misgivings Our occasion he left her on what be described as the Highland distillery visit, intending, be said, io be absent for at least a week, and carry tog with him money to the amount of nearly a thousand pounds, which he said he would proba bly spend upon whiskey before he came back.— Nothing that could awaken the least suspiiion occurred at their' parting; but next day while his wife superintended matters in the shop, site was surprised when a large bill was presented, for which he had wale nu provision On inspecting i it she was Still eurther surprised to find that it referred to a transaction which she undirstood a t the time to be a ready money one Raving dismissed the presenter of the bill, she lost no time in repairing to the counting-house of a large commission house in Leith, with which she knew her husband to have had large transactions There, on making some indirect inquiries, she found that his purchases, instead of being entire ly fur reedy money, as he•had represented to ber, were mostly paid by bills, some of which were on the point of becoming due It was now but too iapparent that the uoprinoipled man bad taken his final ksve of ber acid his creditors, peering With hint all the voila that hie ingenuity could • collect I,bel Lucas way not a pers.in to sit down in idle despair on such an event.

She imme diately set out upon the same road, and with the same means of conveyance, determined to sink with fatigue, or subject herself to any kind of danger, rather than return without her object. At first the - road passed over a moorish part of the country; but after proceeding several miles, it began to border on the sea, in some places edging on the precipices which overhung the shore, and at others winding into deep recesses of the country. At length, on coming to the opening of a long reach of the road, she saw a her has which she took for that of her has cl, just disappearing at the opposite eztre y.— immediately gathering fresh strength, a push ed briskly on, and after an hour's tot e march bad the satisfaction, on turning a proj tion, to find her husband sitting right betties her on a stone ordyne was very mach surprised at her ap. pearauce, which was totally unexpftted; bin be soon recovered his oompoeste. Ha met her with mare than even usual kindness, as if concerned at ber having thought proper to perfam so toil some a journey. He hastened to explain that some information he bad received atialsegow re specting the dangerous state of his mother, bad induced him to make a start out of his way to see ber, after which he 'would immediately re• turn It was then his turn to ask explanation from her; but this subject he premed very tight. lyi and for ber part, she hardly dared, in this lonely place, to avow the suspicions stylish had induced her to undertake the journey. "It is all very well," . sald Fordyne,with sleeted eomplairanee; "you'll just go forward with me to my mother's house, and she-will be pleased to see me since I bring you with me." label, smo thering her real feelings, agreed to do this, the' it may well be supposed that, after what be had already done, sod considering the wild place - is which she was, she most hare entertained no comfortable prospects of her night'. adventures. On then, they walked, in the dusk of fast ap• proaching night, tbrough a country whisk seem ed to be destitute slate of houses andiahabltests, sod where thelnuiversal stillness was baldly ever broken by the sound of any saikaal, land et tame.' The road as formerly, was partly en tbe edge of a sea worn preeipieee, over which a vie. tim might be dashed in a minment, with hardly the hpist chance of ever being more sees or heard of, alid partly in the recesses of a nagged who try, i whose pathless wilderness the woe lt of wafter might be almost es assurely siseted.— I‘begLneas, knowing' hew Moth roam her bus. beads had to Irish her on of this world, was Ws 17 sifts to dingo' of her path, void gt miry 21 60 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.

She contrived to keep upon the aide of the toad most remote from the precipices, and carrying in her pocket an unclasped pen knife, though almost hopeless that her womanly nerves would support her in any effort to use it Thar did they walk oe_for several miles, till at length, all of a sudden; Fordyne started off the road, and was instantly lost in a wild, tortuous ravens. This steal was so different from any ether which she kind feared, that for a moment she stood motimasee with surprist. Another moment, however, lutheed to make up her mind as to her future course, and she immediately I plunged into the defile, following as nearly as possible in the direction whieh the fugitive rep. peered to have taken. On, on she totted , through thick entangling bushes, and over much soft and mossy ground, her limbs every moment threat ening to sink beneath her with fatigue, which they would certainly have done very speedily, if the desperate au:intim' which filled her mind had not rendered her in a great measure immesh , ble to the languor of her body It at length be. ; came a more pressing object with her to find some place where abe could be sheltered for the night, than to follow in so hopeless a pursuit; and she therefore ezperienoed great joy on per- , ceiling a light at a little distance As she ap proaohed the place whence this seemed to pro, I aced, she discovered a rottage, whence she could hear the sound of music and dancing With great caution she drew near the window through , which the light was glancing, and there, peeping into the apartment, she saw her husband caper ing in furious mirth amidst a set of coarse peas- I ant like individuals, mingled with a few who I bore all the appearance of sea smugglers. Au old woman, of most unamiable aspect, sat by the fireside, occasionally giving orders for the pre paration of food, and now and then addressing a complimentary expression to Fordyne, whom Ivo bed therefore guessed to be her son After the ; party bad seemed to have become quite tired of dancing, they sat down to a rode but plenteous repast; and after that was oolicluded, the whole party addressed themselves to repose Some r' tired into an apartment at the opposite end of the house; but most stretched themeelvee on strew whieh lay in various corners of the room in which they had been feasting. The single bed in this apartment was appropriated to Fordyne, apparently on se:coupe of his being the most im portant individual of the party, and be therefore I continued under the unsuspected observation of his wife till he had oowsigoed himself to repose. Previous to doing ~so, she observed him place something with great caution under his pillow For another hour Isbel stood at the window, inspecting the interior of the house, which was now lighted very imperfectly by the expiring fire. At length, when every recumbent figure seemed to have become bound securely in sleep, she first uttered one brief, but fervent prayer, and then undid the loose fastening of the door, and glided into the simartment Carefully avoid. tag the sarew patteerewhrob lay stretched around, she approached the bed whereon lay the treach erous Fordyne and sforify awl softly withdrew iris large pocket -book from beneath the pillow To her inexpressible joy she succeeded in exccu ting this manor:over without giving him the least disturbance.
