liOIJBEItS OUTWITTED. BY MYRON D. GIBSON. The war had made able-bodied men so scarce that in the fall of 1862 the freighting- and purchasing of supplies for a small settlement on the Minne sota river devolved upon four young fellows from fifteen to seventeen years of age. They had made several trips with loads of wheat to the nearest town on the Mississippi, and laid in a winter's supply of provisions for the whole settlement, and on this, their last trip, were to sell their wheat for cash and bring back loads of freight for an old Frenchman who kept a trading post near the settlement. A1 Talman, the oldest of the boys, who was intrusted with the buying and selling, sold the wheat for a high price, and, countingt he gold he received for it, dropped it into a buckskin purso and thrust it deep in his pocket, taking little notice of the crowd about the warehouse oflice as he did so. While the boj's were loading the trader's goods into their wagons, a well-dressed stranger sauntered up, and after cracking a joke or two, careless ly inquired where they were freight ing. "Out to the Le Sueur settlement," replied Al. "Is that so?" exclaimed the stranger. "Why, that's the very place I want to reach! I've an uncle out that way somewhere," he continued, us he i glanced at the name on the boxes und ! barrels. "lie's a trader by the name of j Verdicr. Do you know him?" "I guess I do!" replied Al. "Why, i these are his goods we are loading ! with, See his name here on this box?'' ! "Well, I declare!" exclaimed the fel- ! low, stepping up to examine the name j as if he had not read it before. " 4An toino Verdire!' That's the name sure enough. And say, my young friend, can you carry me out there with you?" "Of course I can," answered Al, glad to be of service to a prospective neigh bor. "1 suppose you'll take up land and go to farming like the rest of us?" "That's just what I want to do," re plied the man. "Is there any good government land near my uncle's place?" "Oh. yos, plenty of it," said Al, "and the folks will all bo glad to have an other neighbor." "I'm glad to hear that," said the stranger. "I came up on the boat just the other day, and was afraid I'd be too late to g-et any good land. I'll go up to the hotel now and gxst my things ready—that is, unless you'd like my help about loading." "Never mind that," said Al. "You go and get ready, and we'll soon have these things aboard." "Say, Al," spoke up Frank Gibbs, as soon as the man was out of hearing," 1 believe that fellow is lying. If I'm not mistaken, I've seen him hangingaround nearly every time we've been here." "I wouldn't wonder if Frank was right, Al," added August Shacfer; "I think myself I've seen his face be fore." "Oh, pshaw!" said Al, who did not relish this imputed want of sagacity on his part. "It's some other fellow that you've seen. What's the difference, anyhow? I guess four of us needn't be afraid of a fellow of his sizo." "Yes, but we ought not to take any chances," persisted Frank. "All that * money and these goods are enough to tempt robbers if they knew we had them aboard, and you know the folks warned us not to take up with stran gers." "That's so, they did," admitted Al. "But I don't see how we're going to get out of it now." "Just in time, ain't 1?" said the man, stepping briskly up with his bundlo, as the boys wore ready to start, and climbing Into the seat side of Al. "1 thought I'd get back in time to eat din ner with you, so I brought along some sandwiches." "Time enough yet," said Al. "We're loaded heavier than usuul, and thought we'd eat as we rode along, to save time." "A very good plan," assented the ! stranger, who was soon sampling Al's j doughnuts, while the latter returned ! the compliment by helping himself to the stranger's sandwiches. The goods of the trader consisted of the dry goods, groceries, medicines, ammunition, etc., commonly kept in backwoods stores, not omitting the I baleful "fire water" that rendered bar- ! ter with the Indians so profitable to ; unscrupulous traders. "What's that uncle's got in there?' asked the stranger, pointing to a box, the lid of which had become loosened. "Some kind of liquor, I guess," re plied Al. "I see it's full of bottles." "Well, if -that's the case, we must have something to wash down this lunch," exclaimed the stranger, as he i leaned over, tore oO the lid and began handling over the bottles. "Hold on!" cried Al. "These things don't belong to me, and I'd rather you'd let them alone!" "Oh, never fear!" laughed the man, as ho continued rummaging among the bottles. "I'll make it all right with uncle. Why, lie wouldn't like it at all if 1 didn't help myself to anything of his." The box contained all sorts of drugs and medicines, but at last the fellow found what he wanted and held up a large bottle labeled "brandy." "Hero wo have it!" he shouted, and, after Al and the other boys had de clined to drink, the fellow took a long pull at the bottle and set it back in the box. He did not forget where ho put it, however, but paid his respects to it quite often during the afternoon. Al carried a shotgun in his wagon, and when they stopped to make camp at the upper end of Smoky Hollow that night, the stranger, with Al's permission, shouldered the gun and started up the bluff to kill some par tridges, while the boys fixed camp and cooked supper. The boys waited some time after supper was done, and then, as it was getting quite dark, they squatted about tlio fire and began eat ing, expecting every moment to sec ! the stranger walk into the camp. But no stranger came, and the boys began to grow uneasy. Thinking he had per haps lost his way, they built n huge fire and shouted loudly, but their own voices, echoing from the hillsides, alone j answered. The younger boys became frightened as they remembered their fir.it sus | picioos, but Al, although a great dread had sprung up in his own bosom, laughed to scorn the fears of his com panions, and set about stretching a big : canvas over his wagon as usual, weight , ing it down on all sides with rocks, and forming a snug tent for their beds, which they spread on the ground be | tween the wheels of the vehicle. Reassured by his confident manner, the tired boys were soon sleeping soundly, when Al slipped quietly out of bed and paced silently up and down the road. Not a sound could bo heard save the champing of the horses at their feed boxes; and after untying a sack of horse feed and shoving the money down among the oats as far as he could reach, lie tied up the sack again and crept back to bed, but not to sleep. Several farmers had been robbed in the vicinity of Sinolcj' llollow that autumn, and the more Al thought of it the moro he became convinced that his passenger was a spy acting for the band that committed these crimes. He lay awake for hours. No sound but the hootings of owls broke the stillness, and he was just falling into a doze when the rush and clatter of a troop of hard-riding horsemen came to his ears. "Doys! boys!" he whispered, as he shook his sleepy companions. "Wake up! quick; Somebody is coming, and I'm afraid it's robbers. Now, mind what I tell you," he continued, as the sleepy lads sat up and stared at him by the light of the lantern. "That scamp j was spying, sure enough. Hear them coming? Hut don't you get scared. I've hidden the money, and if we keep our wits about us wo can stand them off in some way." At that moment a wild yell, accom panied by several pistol shots, iang through the woods, and half a dozen riders dashed into tlio camp and sur rounded the wagon tent just as the boys came stumbling out. "Throw up your hands!" ordered the leader, as he and one of his men, ensity recognized as Al's passenger, covered them with their pistols while the other four dismounted and began searching the other boys for money. "Look'c here now, my young friends!" shouted the leader, when the men reported the result of their search, "our time is precious, and we ain't the kind of men to be fooled with, so the sooner you hand over that gold the better it will be for j r ou!" "What gold arc you talking about? We haven't a dollar in our pockets, not one of us," boldly answered Al, who did not know the spy had seen him re ceive the money. "That may be," replied the robber, "but if you haven't got it in your pockets it's hid about your wagons somewhere. There's no use of your trying to bluff me. My man here saw you get the money and watched to see that j'ou did not spend It, so just fork it over, and be lively about it; do you hear?" A1 heard all too plainly. "If that sneaking blackguard knows where there's any gold, let him find it!" he answered, hotly. "I'll do that in a hurry, cap," replied the man, who was about to throw him self off his horse when the leader checked him. "Keep to your horse, Bill!" he or dered. "You're sure they had the money when they left the landing?" "As sure as I sit on this horse," an swered the spy. "That feller there, the tall one, had it in his pocket in a buckskin bag." "Do you hear that, youngster?" said the chief, turning upon Al. "Now we're here after that gold, aud, what's more, we're going to have it. Will you hand it over or must I make you do it?" Al hesitated. lie knew ho had des perate men to deal with, but was de termined not to yield until obliged to. "Look here," thundered the rullian leader, exasperated by the lad's stub bornness, "I've fooled away all the time I'm going to with you, young fel low. Do you see that horse there?" pointing his pistol at one of the teams. "Well, I'll givo you just one minute to hand over that gold, or down goes that horse; and if that don't con vince you, I'll down the next, and the next, and every hoof you've got. And if that don't fetch the money," he added, with a fierce oath, "I'll take a shot at youl" AI saw the fellow meant what he said, and, as further resistance would have been foolishness, he untied the sack of oats and handed the money to the robber, who, after counting it, put tlio purse in his pocket. "All right, boys!" he called out. "And now, my young friends, when we've troubled you for a look at some of those goods, wo will lyd you good night and bo off. You see, our out door occupation demands warm cloth ing and plenty of powder and lead, and if you have such things aboard, you will save much damage to the rest of your loads by showing us where we can find what we waut." "You might as well do it, Al," wliis pered Frank. "They're bound to have it, anyway, and will only tear things to pieces if you leave them to hunt for it." "All right," said Al, "I'll show you." Boxes and barrels were quickly opened, and each robber soon had a bundle of clothing, blankets, ammuni tion, etc., strapped on behind his sad dle. All this time Al had been trying to conjure up soino plan to outwit tlio thieves and save the money and prop- 1 erty in his charge. lie felt that his own carelessness had brought this disr.s tor upon them, and would gladly have embraced unyoopportunity, no matter how hazardous, to retrieve that repu tation for shrewdness and sagacity that had won for him this position of trust and responsibility, to which all the other young men in the settlement had aspired. But the robbers were well armed, aad far too cautious to allow their victims any visible chance to turn the tables upon them. When they had secured as much plunder as they thought safe to burden their horses with and swung themselves into their saddles, Al's wrath and despair knew no bounds. He stood before the tent covered wagon, with the lantern in his I hand, watching the robbers as they i mounted, when the spy suddebly called | out to the leader: "Oh, say, cap! I almost forgot about it, but they've got some good spirits in that tent wagon, and we must have a clrop before we go." "Is that so, Hill?" responded the leader. "Needn't take my word for it, cap," replied the spy. "Hero, young fel low," he ordered, turning to Al, "go and bring out that bottle of brandy. ; I'll make it all right with uncle, | you know." And while Al went into the tent with the luntern the man, with great glee, told his mates how he secured a ride with the boys by mak ing them believe the trader was his uncle. No sooner did the fellow mention it than Al started for the brandy, his Urst thought being that perhaps if he could lind enough liquor the robbers would make themselves hopelessly drunk as soon as they reached their own camp; but while clambering into the wagon a daring idea flashed into his mind. Reaching the box containing the spirits, medicines, etc., he searched among the bottles, while the highway men were laughing uproariously at the narrative of the spy. Hottle after bot tle he snatched up and held to the light of the lantern. "Come! Come! Don't be all night j in there!" shouted one of the robbers. Just then Al found what he wanted i —a small vial labeled: "Laudanum." "Wait till I And it, won't you?" j he shouted back, and, quickly empty ing the contents of the vial into the brandy bottle, he replaced the cork, gave the bottle a good shake and came out with it in his hand. "Here it is,'" ho said, in as quiet a manner as he could command, as he handed it to the spy- The woods rang with laughter as the bottle went from mouth to mouth, and each robber drank to the health of Bill's uncle. All were in too good humor over the success of the expedi tion and Bill's joke to notice the agi tation which Al found impossible to conceal. lie trembled lest Bill's pota tions during the afternoon had drained the bottle so low that it would be emp ty before it reached the leader, who was the last to drink. There was enough to go round, how ever, and when the robber chief had swallowed the last drop he dashed the bottle against a tree. "Your uncle keeps pretty good liquor, Bill," he laughed, "only I don't just like the flavor. Say, young fellow, bring us out a few bottles to take along with us, and we'll be off." "All right!" said Al, now anxious to detain them. "There's plenty of it, and it will be all the better for the In dians if you drink it instead of them." Going back into the tent he opened a case of whisky, and, after poking about us long as he deemed safe, with the robbers shouting to him to hurry up and not keep them waiting, he emerged with half a dozen bottles in his arins. "Bully boy!" shouted the chief, de lighted ut the prospect of plenty of liquor for some time to come. "You know how to treat gentlemen, after all, if you were a little crabbed at first. And now," ho went on, as he and his men stowed the bottles away in their bundles, "siuce you're so clever I'll give you a bit of advice. The next time you come home from market with a bag of gold in your pocket, beware of strangers, especially chaps liko iny man Bill, here, who want to ride out in the country to their uncles'." At this they all roared with laugh ter, and, putting spurs to their horses, dashed out of sight in the darkness. A1 gave a shout of delight when once the robbers were out of hearing, and lest he. lose track of them in the darkness and give them time to re cover from the effects of the laudanum, he hastily explained to the other boys what he had done, and mounting four of the best horses, they rode swiftly in the direction the robbers had taken. Scarcely a mile away, the prostrate form of one of the band was found stretched across the road, and a little farther on their horses grazed in a group by the wayside, while the high waymen, wrapped in deathlike sleep, lay curled up under the trees. The boys bound the sleepers' hands and feet; then, returning to camp, they un loaded one of the wagons and, hitch ing a team to it, came back along the road and picked up the unconscious robbers. It was hard work getting some of the heavy fellows into the wagon, but A1 was afraid the lauda num might prove fatal; and leaving Truman and August to look after the camp, he and Frank drove with aM speed back to the landing. They stopped several times at watering places and dashed cold water over the faces of their prisoners, and when, at break of day, they arrived at the landing, all had gained consciousness. Their friends at the settlement were much alarmed when the boys failed to return at the usual time, but when they arrived a day later and related the cause of their delay and its happy ending, all the people gathered to gether and a great supper was served in honor of the plucky lads. The stolen gold and the goods of the trader, I which the authorities retained as evi- | dence against the robbers, were eventually returned to their owners.— ! N. Y.
