At Logansport he was taken sick and after watching him a week found that he had a settled fever, and as the physician said he would not probably be able to move under a month, I deter• mined to push on alone. So I obtained a good nurse, and having seen that my friend would have .everything necessary to his comfort, which money could procure I 141 him.' As good fortune would have it, I found a party of six men bound on the very route I was going, and I waited one day for the sake of their company. At length we sat out, with three pack horses to car ry our• baggage, and I soon found that I lost nothing by waiting for my compan ions were agreeable and unterprising.— They were going on to St. Joseph's where they had land already located, and where they had Mills upon the river, intending to get out lumber• during the remainder of the season. On the third day front Logansport, we reached Walton's settlement on the Little River, having left the Wabash on the morning of that day. It was well on into the evening when wo reached the log built inn of the settlement, and we were glad enough of the shelter—for ere we had fairly got under the shelter, the rain commenced to fall in great drops, and thickly too. And more still, I had to be thanhful for! My horse began to show a lameness in one of his hind legs, and when I leaped from the saddle I found that his foot pained him much, as I could tell from the manner is which he lifted it front the ground. I ordered the hostler to bathe it .with cold water, and went into the lonise where we found n good substantial supper and comfortable quarters for the night— that is, comfortable for that section and ante. About ten o'clock.just after I had reti r ad and just as 1 was falling into a graceful dose, I was startled by the shouts of men and the barking of dogs directly under my window. As tho noiso continued, I arose and threw on my clothes, and went down. 'What is it I asked of the landlord who stood in the entry way. .Ah—don't you know, stranger ?' the host returned. 'You've heard of austus Karl, perhaps ?' Who in the West nt that time had not heard of him—the most reckless, daring and murderous robbur that ever cursed a country.

'Tis'nt far.' - I found the boat to be well fashioned 'dug out,' large enough to bear four men with eane, end I of once paid the other his price—ten dollars--and then had my luggage brought down. I gave directions about the treatment of toy horse and then put off. The current was quite rapid— say four or five miles on hour, but not oft turbulent and I soon made up any tonal that this won tar better than riding on horn-back. The banks of the river were thickly covered with large trees, and I saw game plenty, and tome than once 1 won tempted to fire the contents of my pistols tat some of the boldest .varments ;' but I had 110 time to waste, so I kept on.— Only one thing was wanting, and that was a companion ; but I was destined to hod one soon enough. It was shortly after noon, and I had just eaten my dinner of bread end cold meat, when 1 came to a place where the river made an abrupt bend to the right, and a little further on I came to a broad basin where the current formed a perfect whirl. pool. I did ton notice it until toy canoe got into it, and I found myself going round instead of going ahead. I plied my wood paddle with all my power, and soon suc ceeded in shooting out from the rotary current; but in so doing I run myself up on the low sandy shore, The effort had fatigued Ina not a little, and as I found my bark thus surely moored I resolved to rest a few minutes. I .had been in this position tome ten minutes when I was startled by bearing a foot-f a ll close by me, and on looking up I now a man ut the aide of my boat, flu was a yoring looking pereen, not over two and thirty : and seemed to be a hunter.-- Suddenly a sharp, cold shudder ran thro' my frame, and my heart leaped with a wild thrill. As sure as fate—l knew it—there could he no douln—l had taken into my canoe, and into my confidence, Gus Karl, the Wabash Robber! For a few moments I feared my emotions would betray me. I looked carefully over his person again, and I knew that I was not mistaken. I could !ook back now and see how cunningly he had led me on to a confession of my cit. cunistances—how he made me tell my af- fairs, and reveal the state of my finances. What a fool I had been ! But it tens too late to think of the past, I had enungh to au to !ook out for what was evidently to I at length 'nonage(' to overcome all. my ontward emotions, and began to watch my cempaniou trance sharply and closely. My pistols were both handy. and I knew thoy were in good order, for I hod contained them both in the forenoon when I thought of tiring at some g,nme. They were in the breast pocket of my (nut, which pockets had been made on purpose for there, and I could reach them at an instant. Another hear passed away, and by that lime I lard become assured that the-Tubber would 'nolo im attempt upon me until after nightfall. fie said it would be convenient that they to oth together, for we could run all t(i : .;lit, for one could steer the canoe while the other slept, ~A ye," I added with a smile, "that is good fur 1110, for every hour is valuable. I would not miss of meeting my friend for worlds.' "Oh—you'll meet him, never fear," said my companion. Ah—he spoke that with too much mean. ing. I understood it well. I knew what that sly tone nod that strange gleaming of the eve meant. lle meant than he we'd put me on the road to meet poor Kemp in the other world ! I wondered only now I had not detected the robber when I first saw him, for the expression of his face was so heartless, so icy—and then Ins eyes had such a wicked look—that the most unprac ticed physiognomist could not have foiled to detect the villain at once. During the rest of tho afternoon of° con versed some, but not so freely us before. I could see that the villain's eyes tVere not so frankly bent upon ins us be spoke, and then seemed inclined to itvoid toy direct glances. Tht:se inoviThents on his port were not studied, not even intemional ; but they were instinctive, as though his very nature led him thus. At length, night came on. We ate our supper, and then smoked our pipes, and finally my compa nion proposed that I should sleep before he did. At first I thought of objecting, but a view told me that! had better behave us though 1 tho't him an honest roan ; so I h g reed to his proposition. lie took my sent at the stern; and having moved fur ther forward, and having removed the thwart upon which my companion had been sitting, spreading my cloak in the ea': noe, and then having placed my valise for a pillow, I laid down. As soon as possible I drew out one of my pistols, and beneath the cover of a cough cocked it. Then I moved my body so that my right arm ' would be at liberty, and grasping my wea pon firmly with my finger upon the guard I drew up my mantle, slouched my hat and then settled down for my watch. Fortunately for me, the moon was up, and thought the forest trees threw a shad ow upon me, yet the beasts fell upon Karl. I could see his every movement. We were well into the Wabash, having entered it about three o'clock. 'You will call me at midnight,' I said drowsily. 'Yes,' he returned. 'Good night.' 'Good night—and pleasant dreams. I'll have you further on your way than you think ere you wake again.' •Perhaps so,' thought I to myself as I lowered my head and pretended to lower myself to sleep. For half an hour my companion steered the canoe very well, and seemed to take but little notice of me ; but at the end of that time, I could see lie became more un easy. I eninmenced to snore with a long regularly drawn breath, and un the instant the villain started as burls the hunter when he hears the tread of game in the woods. But hark ! Ahar—ther um , - nr9rB 1,1.111 - rt. my 1-n tit 'gat shoot the wrong man; but it was now gone. As the fellnw stopped the motion of the paddle. I distinctly heard his inut ter ; `Oho, my dear sheep—you little dream• ed that Gus Karl was your companion. But 11,11 do you n good turn. If your friend is dead, you shall fallow him, and I'll take your traps to pay yuur passage t o [leaven.' I think these words were the very ones. At any rate they were their drift. As he thus spoke he noiselessly drew in the pud dle, nod then rose to his feet. I saw him reach up over h s loft shoulder, and when - he brought his hand buck he had a huge bawte•lntife to it, I could see the blade gleam in die pale moonlight, and I saw Earl run his thumb along the edge, and my breathing was (turd. It was whh the utmost exertion that I could continue my snoring, but I managed to do it without interruption. Slowly and noiselessly the foul wretch approached me Oh ! his step would nut have awakened a hound—and I saw his long gleaming knife was half rin sed. I could hear his breathing. and I could hear the grating or his teeth its he versed himself for the streke. The villain was at my side, and he measured the distance from his hand to my heart with his oye. In his left' hand he held a thick handkerchief all wadded up. Hutt was to stop my mouth with ! Every nerve in my body was now strong, vial my heart stood still as death. 01 course my snoring ceased ; and at that in stant the huge knife was raised above my bosom ! Quick as thought 1 brought my pistol up ! the muzzle was within a foot of the robber's heart— he uttered a quick cry sail' the bright blade in the moonlight, but it came not upon me. I pulled the trigger, and the last fear was past. I had thought that the weapon might miss fire, but it did not. There was a sharp report and as L sprang up and back 1 heard a fierce yell, and at the same moment the robber fell forward, his head striking my feet as it came down. Weak and faint I sunk back, but a sud den tipping of the canoe brought the to my senses, and I went aft and took the paddle. As soon as the boat's head was once mote right I turned tuy eyes upon the form in the bottom of the canoe, end I saw it quiver, only a spasmodic movement, and then all was still. All that night I sat there nt any watch and steered any little bark. I had any second pistol ready, for I knew not surely that the wretch was dead, He might be availing to catch mu off any guard, and then shoot ow. But the night passed slowly and drearily away, and when the morning broke the ferns had not moved. 'Meta I stepped Itzravard anal found that VOL. XXII. NO. 33. I Gustus Karl was dead. He had fallen with his knife true to his aim, for it had struck very near the spot my heart must have been, and the point was driven so far into the solid wand that I had to work hard to pull it out, and harder still to un clasp the marble hogers that were closed with dying madness about the handle. Swiftly flowed the tide, and ere the sun again sank to rest I'finifreacheil Logans port. The authorities knew the face of Gustus Karl at once, and when I had told them my story, they poured out a thou sand thanks upon my head, A purse was raised, and the oflbred reward put into it, and tendered to me. I took the simple thanks of the gene rous citizens, while the• remainder I directed should be distributed among those who had suffered most from, the Wabash robber's depredations. I found poor Kemp sick and miserable. He was burning with fever, and the doctor had shut him up in a room, where a well man must soon have suffocated. 'Water Water!
