She had scarcely done so, when she heard a voice pronounce her name. She sprang op with a cry of (error. A large rough hand was laid rudely over her month;.it was the hand of Martin Vamassle.

Hifwould remain at Qidluwu,'and enter a seflol; Kitty should not hare a husband who cdQd neither read nor write. Bp that she replied; ”Vou are a hero, Sam; bunoii do not know how hard it will be to lift tall person in the A 0 C class.” ol mollification passed overhb face,; bpCa tnomeni after he looked up with a bright saJW. ”1 can bear it Kitty, herer fear for ATae plan was cairied out, and he encountepftj all of which be had been warned; Uulhts pufppse was nut shaken.. lie applied himself Wife’ so much perseverance that he was souii to read, but wining be found much m&P'dilliruU. He could hot succeed in form-! sentence which' be was willing that Kitty.should look upon—thus .it was unable to mt Cl I his promise uf Writing !o her. Ujtawfuid, with the keen glance of jealousy, discovered the ufTcction'eiistmg between the . lovers, but as’Ida own interest in Kitty was ho' secret, he resolved not to be outrivaled by Indian Sam. ‘ „ ; Sim's school was nearly ended, and he had ! begun to count the lime in days when lie would ; return to RrootsJhll, when one morning he ; was hailed by a fiumliar-, voice. It was thntof i Crawford, and every old feeling, of resentment Vanished in the pleasure of seeing a face from Crawford toltlfiim that he had | come down on business couutcitd with the mill, which would detain him seveial days,. ana then.he detailed to him alt the news of, the set Lenient, meiiiiopiug Dot] man and his daughlcr incidentally,'ns if they were not Of’ especial interest to either of them. ’ ; tiain had ccinmifsiuneda friend who was go- ■ ing. to Dan go r to' procure fur him several ani- 1 civs which he (tesigiicd; to present Id Killy.' lit the mean lime, Ins school hud (lusctl, and ' Crawford proposed thul he should .visit Gangur ■ with him, overcoming Ids objections by ofler- ; ing to defray his expenses. lie played .the ticeroiic admirably,' taking; him to every place of iiiletesl, and lastly lo . visit the shipping, 'Hiere was one- vessel ■ hound for California; in; whiclr he Iingeitu for * hours, conversing with the men on the laud of! gold, and (aqiiciilly. turning' to iiiiiii with e*- j* passions of.wonder aml' delighU After leav- ■ itig,, he proposed they .should both ship as j hands on hoard the (fold Hunter, remain two; years in California, and tjien return rich enough to buy* the whole towdship which cotityined: the; little vcUlenient of Uitwks Mid.- j Sam was unmoved by tlio proposal, and in j the evening Crawford again led him to the vts* sel.

The grief and mortification of Kilty may be imagined, when she .teamed Iraifl him the faithlessness of tier lover, and the winter wlncn followed was dark indeed, vyith litr hopes extinguished, and her father's intemperance increasing. Crawford's kindness and mien lions alone made life endurable, yet she fell a repugnance to him which she in vain endeavor-

cd to overcome. . 1 ! .Hoffman bad passed a day of drunkenness, -co and Crawford had succeeded in gelling him to j fo bed. He then returned to the fireside where tm Killy was sitting, and spoke to her of her fu-; \vl lute, unprotected, and with such a lath-; rc er. Then he told her of Ins Jove; and how fur ** would protect and cherish her if she would per- j ixi mil him. She was deeply touched by so n ltiCJ ■ dt kindness, and expressed many thanks, but beg* ■ sn ged him never again id recur to the subject; (di When her father recovered Irom his Clot m-1 temperance, he was, as usual, wretched and | ai despondent, and Kitty's feelings underwent ■ in their accustomed change, from disgust to pity, | at He told her with falling tears, and a trembling voice, that it was in her power to.make a man | C i ofhim; that be was deeply uidcbltoCiawfurd,, and that if she would many him he would be p, relieved from bis feelings of dependence, and j u in that event he solemnly promised never again ,• u to taste a drop of liquor. . Then there came to - Kitty a terrible conflict, and she made that;(] I niistake which has wrecked the happiness of j* so many; to a lalsc sense wf duty ahu sacnSeed; jj every instinct of her nature.. , . , ; ■ K : She consented lb marry Crawford, ano.pte* j & parations were made for the-wedding. Hut a ■ t1 few days oefore the event was to lake place, a 1 ( Stranger, dressed in, Kuntei's costume called ljunon her. He introduced himself as John.--I Btiiwnof Old Town, a.fnend of Samuelbpnng,; whom he said he had known intimately-during, his slay at that place; then taking from bur• i . vest pocket a small libs, presented it to her, with apologies for having kept it so long.

Then she heard of im’s devotion to herself, and of Ida intention f returning to Brooks Mill as soon as his fchool had ended. How unlike the account , Vhich Crawford had given her. !

JJy this time Ruth bad missed Iter, and coma running to tbe spot as he was bear- . ing her away. They cried loudly for assistance, while terror nearly deprived them of sense and volition. At the moment when the catastrophe seemed complete, a tall man with a Urge black patch over his left eye, and a long rifle in bis hand, aprang from a clamp of shrubbery, seized Vantasale by the throat, wrested Jessie from hie grasp, and'choking him till he was black in "the face, hnrled him lo the ground. /While lay stunned upon tbo caith, bis vanquisher took his musket from his unnerved hand, discharged it into the air, and broke the slbck against the trunk of a tree. Ho then drew the pistols from the Tory's belt and thrust them into his own, from which already protruded tbe bit* of four. The blade of Vantasslo's knife he .snapped by thrusting it into the cleft of a rock, but the heavy sabre bo buckled to his side, leaving the ruffian entirely unharmed^

Placingher cars fully within the threshold, lie repeated his startling warning, and vanished in the deepening shadows of night. He waa gone before the yonug ladies had recovered sufficiently from their dismay to thank

him. While they gaicd at each other in a jtlopor of wonder, a man leafed high fence at the right, and crossing the intervening. ground, stood before them, panting and covered with perspiration.
