where the path branched into two, and diverging into opp.-itc directions.

"This is my nearest way, I believe?" said Charles. ' 1 "It is," answered the old man. "This fresh track that wc noticed awhile ago, lies on my route; so 111 push try nag a little, soon as 1 load this rifle, and it may sa be, that I'll over- . . .... 1

as appended a bullet pouch, made ci me tame material with the cap. His feet were covered with buckskin moccasins, and leggings of stout cloth were wrapped several times round his legs, fastened above the knee and at the ancle, with strings of green worsted. Tiie horse he bestrode, was so small that the rider's feet almost dragged on the ground, and he had that artificial git which Is denominated racking. The old man's hair fell in long and uncombed locks beneath his caa, and was white with the frosts of many

a dress of no costly material; and the little

Catharine Wcntworth was the daughter (at

the time of our story, the only one) cf a gen

tlcman who had formerly been a wealthy

merchant in the citv ot New lork; butwnom

misfortune in busincs had suddenly befallen

and stripped of all his possessions. While

sourre of consolation: Louisa's deaththc qui-

et ol the country, ind Uic natural with of

every active mind to Crcaje to itself modes of emr loyment. had led him more frequently to

read and search the sacred scriptures, than he had found leisure to do before; nnd this was attended, as it always is, with the happiest result a knowledge nnd love of him.

a lighl tap wns henrd nt the door, and Mr.

he might be accommodated with a bed. His request wr.s of coirsc readily complied with.

lie was a tall,darlc person, dressed much in the manner of the unfortunate hunter, txcpt that his leggings were of buckskin. He had lost an eye, when a young man, in a scuffle with an Indian, two of whom sprang suddenly upon him from an ambush; nnd this, together with a deep scar on his forehead, received in a tavcin-brawl at New-Orleans, two or three years before, and the wrinkles which ape, or more likely his manner of life had ploughed, gave to his ci untenancc n sinister nnd disagreeable expression. At the present time,

ine haggard nppenrar.ee of his fare was increased, cither from having been a long while exposed to the cold, or from some latent sickness working on hrni; for his lip quivered and was of a bloodless hue, nnd he vcas remarkably pale. Charles Rivington who ofteu met him in his rides, was the first to notice the

change trom his usunl anrearant e.

"Sou look pale and fatigued, Mr. Kumley; hope you are not unwell." "No, sir that is my yes, 1 do feel a

ittle sickish;and should be glad to go lo bed,

1 H i convenient," answered ftlr. Kumler.

"Perhaps there is something that wc can

do for you.sirl said the maternal Mrs. Went

worth. .

"No ma'am, I thank ye. I reckon a goo.l

nights sleep will be best for me: its what

cures nil my ailings." And in compliance

with his wish the guest was shown lo his

apartment.

peaceful family sought their pillows, till soon

the gray morning was already advancing,

had time to reflect that if SiTvcrsieht ware in-

knrwn to have carried with him from town; had been found, it seems beside the murdered body. The mnnrv that Ihn nnfnrlnnnto

man had entrusted to him, was discovered in

his possession, nnd I ow could it be proved for what purpose it had been given tohimt

As these thoughts rushed rapidly through Ins mind, he turned to the officer, and observed, "Mr. Pike, I yield myself your prisoner. I perceive there rc some clrcumsfhnecs that causes suspicion to rest on mc. I must rely, for a while, upon the character, which, I trust, I have acquired since my residence nmor.g you, for honor and fair dealing, until I shall either be enabled to prove my innocer.ee, or Heaven places in the hands ol justice the real perpetrator of the deed." So saying, he gathered op ihe money from the table, and departed with ihc officer nnd

his companion?, to the houiC of Mr. Lawton, who, being a justice of the peace, hod fcsucd a warrant for his apprehension. "I Iivc always been glad to see you here tofore, Doctor Rivington,' said the magistrate, pohtily,on the appearance of that person before him, "and should be so now, were it not that you are charged with a crime, which, if proved, will chII down the severest vengeance of the law. I hope and believe, however, that you can establish your innocence.

to continue my ride as far as Mr. Bttckhorn's; and took his ric with mc from the gunsmith's with the intention of stopping an J lenxing is,

but 1 met with old Mr. Silversight at the cross roads, who M as going up from ihc Xcw Set

1 gave it to him. We parted at the folk, and 1 crossed over to Mr. Wcntworth." "Did Mr. Silversight continue on his journey, having Jim Buckhorns rifle with him!" asked the justice. "Yes, sir; but before we separated he gav me this money," handing the notes and specie to ihe magistrate, "and requested w.e to pay it into the land-office to-day,to clcrr cat

"There is a most unfortunate coincidence

of circumstances acainst Vou. Doctor. The

and you arrive in (own on the next day, with

the money of the deceased in your possession.

Ihc poor old man s horse going heme without its rider, excites alarm: Buckhorn and

Carloek, with other neighbors, set out upon the track; they find the murdered victim, stark

and bloody, lying on the snow wlvch was

scarcely whiter than his nged head; they di

vide some bearing the tody back, while the others follow on the trail: it leads them to

Mr. Wcntwo.'th's, where yon acknowledge

you passed the night; they there inquire what

person made the tracks which they had lollowed, and were answered it was ycu; they continue on'yonr trail until ycu arrive in town; they make affidavit cf these facts, nnd procure a warrant for your arrest, when, to complete the chain of evidence, you are found counting the spoils of the murdered tnan.Now, sir, what answer can 30U make to these appalling ircumstanccs?" "They are appalling, indeed, sir," said our hero, "and I can only reply to them I am innocent. If ihc poor man was rmirdered, the one who did it must certainly have left tracks; and I fear they have fallen upon hts trail, and taken it for mine. But it is in my power to prove that I had no weapon wUo me, except that unlucky rifle, and the gunsmith will testify that he gave me no balls with it." "The gunsmith has already been before me," said Squire Iwton, "for I was loath to have you apprehended, except on an applies ' lion backed by such proof as could net be rejected. He stHtes that when he gave yon the - ...... .. . B

nnd that since thai tune it has certainly been

discharged. I am sorry to do it, sir, bu my duty compels me to commit you."

It is needless to dwell longer on tins exam

ination. Uur hero was committed tor inai and so strong were the proofs adduced a-

gainst him, that the magistrate, and, indeed,

ihe whole ncighbornooa couia scarce nni" to believe bin. guilty. When the sun arose that moraing, Charles Rivington was one of the Iwppiest of men.
