me. Hmw far are e fiom Judge Roe buck's V Judge Roebii'-k1-! V eagerly answered the landlord. ' Is your master's name cautain Belton, the step son of the Judge?" The same " "Merciful Provirtence!"' ejaculated the landlord, dropping into a chair, " Ihe snn of my benelactor' Villain! O! piecious villain !" "Yes, a precious scoundrel, truly;1' resumed the servant; "but he has sadly missed his aim this time. Captain Beltnnf will live, a I hope and believe, to see the racal hanged yet. lie thinks he has made a fine haul, and he h is. to be
sure, pocketed a considerable turn: but
he has pocketed with it that which will destroy him " "What do yon mean," inquired the landlord.
"Why, sir, there are such thing9 as
pick-packets and thieves in all countries and having had occasion to cross Houns
low Heath a few times before I crossed
the Atlantic, I have learned to make use
of precautions when setting out noon a
journey. hen I drew the money Irom
the bank, which the captain wanted for this jaunt, I took the pain to rnfke a lis'
of all the note, w ith the signatures and
numbers; and as sure as the knave at
tempts to pas a single one of them, it
will afford a clue, by which, before long
he certainly will be traced out."
The 'Vvil ou did!'' ejaculated the
landlord; 'hen aoded. alter a pause, ''it
wa no doult a wise precaution and I I hope it may prove successful." The landlord heie left Ihe kitchen
and Jock ventured to ask the English ser
vant how it happened, that be and hi
master, being two to one, had not been
able to overcome ihe ruffian that had at
tackpd thpm
Oh, you're in the wrong of Ihe slory
altogether, I assure you." answered James
"ll I bad been with the captain at the moment, we should have returned a very different account of the killed and wciin iled; Theie never was a braver man, than that samo Captain Belton; but some how or other, the two greatest accidents which have befallen him for ten years, both took theiropportunities when I wasn't with him I had occasion to make a trip to Old England last summer, to settle a litlle estate ; and while I was gone, what should Captain Belton do, but get woun
ded in an affair of honour. The ill health which was the consequence, induced him to procure a leave of almence from his station, that he might visit his father, who lives some where in this neighbourhood. I was obliged to stop in (his last village we passed through, in order lo have a shoe replaced, that my horse hud cast; while the captain, anxious to reach his home tonight, and thinking that I would soon overtake him, kept jogging on his way. It was jiut sunset when I reached an eminence, which commanded a considerable stretch ot road, and look ing ahead to see if I could discern my master, you may judge my surprize.
when, at some distance before me, 1 be
on hi lip, in sign of caution, approaching James, who it must be confessed wat somewhat startled by (he movement, he said 10 a low and confident! 1 lone; "The circumstances which you have mentioned " this evening, have raised my suspicions r.- I wi.0 the robber i, and I'm almost ashamed to If ! ycu. thai I've fixed upon a man who board in ?ry own houe. Dr you think you could know ti,c oerson, if you saw him again?" ' I could not, leplied James, I Was not sufficiently near him: neither d I believe that the apiain would 1 e able to as he
seemed lo me to be muffled up and digguised. I su-pect he did not get his booty
wnnout a ( on-nleratile sltiiggle; and thfs piece ot chain and r.Iasp, tom off ihe mfnaii'fe coat, mot likely in this scuffle, may
perhaps iurmu uo sdditional clue to hia detection."
The landlord turned to the light to ex
amine the clasp, which wag of steel, and such as are at this day frequently worn
on the collars of cloaks; but then thev'
were not much used, and principally by the military. ' I have n Very indistinct
recollection of seeing this clasp before
n some person'i dress," ohseived he,
he returned it into the hand of James,
hut I would advise you hot to mention
what proofs yon can command too freely until a proper time comes for disclosing
the m. I he person that I suspect is . Granger to me: his name is Summer
ville. He arrived at my house odb evening, about three months ago, intending.
as he then mid, to pursue his journey ou
the lolloping morning. He was taken
unwell however, during the night, and detained about a week by a slight mdis.
position, which seems to have altered his plans entirely ; fur day after day, and
week after week have gone by, without his exhibiting any further winh to resume
the saddle. He accounted with me re
gularly for his board, for some time after
his arrival; but when I presented my bill to him Ihe other day, he replied it wav not in his power to settle my claim at that moment, but he should come 10 possession of funds in a day or two, when it should be paid, Ou his return home this evening, he handed me two notes, one of fifty dollars, and the other of tea.
I sent the former by Jock, when he went inln town for the doctor, directing him lo make payment of ii to the merchant wil.b whom i deal. The ten dollars I have still in my possession. If you can find the memorandum, you say, will enable you to identify your masters property, it will be easy to ascertain whether my suspicions of Mr. Sumn.erville be well or ill founded. I shall be sorry it I mjuiehim; but gratitude to Judge Roebuck, who has been a benefactor to me, even commou
justice requires that I should do all J can
to bring the robber of his ton to pun-i-liucut.o " Certainly," returned James, "and I feel much indebted to you for your readiness in assisting me in the inquiry. 1 will but swallow a mouthful of supper, and then immediately search the captain's baggage for the lilt of notes. If one of the numbers should ugree with that bank bill your lodger gave you, it will be a strong circumstance against him, and will doubtless soon lead to a fall detection." "lie came home about an hour after sunset," again observed the landlord, "and appeared both fatigued and agitated. He flung me the money as ! stood

"What colour is his horse?" asked James, quickly at that moment, remembering the colour of the one he had seen the mbler mount. tils horse is gray," answered the host, hesitating. " By Heaven!" ejaculated James, "the very villiain himself; itay, sir, I'll go instantly and get the list; if yours be found among the number, lher can be no doubt as to his guilt. It w8 a special Providence." continue..! James, reverently, "that misled from the road, that I might lind. the very lair where the piowler hanonrs. I have no question sir," turning to the landlord, that the robber is beneath yur roof." While the servant of Captain Belton. has gone in pursuit nf the means of fixing the guilt of his roaster's robbery upon the guest of this lonely inn, perhaps the re. der to j be willing to accompany w to
ctnal operation, certainly reduced very
much the apparent danger of his situa tion. She supplied him alo with a sn dorific tea, concocted Irom sevpral efficacious simple of her own gathering which produced a slight perspiration, and was soon followed by ger.lle slumber. Indeed so great a change did the care and siill of Ibe old lady bring about, that, before iock returned to inform them that the
surgeon, being himself tin invalid, durt not venture out in so tempestuous a night they nil agreed that there tvas but little occasion for his preeznee. lo the course of the evening, when the household, with the addition of t'ae land lord, who had been engaged in the sta
rts on the first arrival of his guests, were again collected round the kitchen fir, a
number of questions were aekeu-t th servant of the wounded officer, in relation to th robbery of his master. " Psha!'; interrupted the master ef the
house, he hsa bcn jobbed, end tbat'e
spurs to my horse, but the robber psrcei

Through my ignorance offhe country, und the darkness of the night, together, 1 suppose 1 havj lost the way; .it they told taa at the smith's, where eiy horse was shoj, that we were but Itu miles from Judge Roebuck's." 'You struck into the wrong road about five mite back," said the host, who now entered the apartment to inform his guest that supper was spread for him, in anothejroom. "My house is on he old road, which is not much travelled in winter, i'ou must hava turned your horssrs heads this way, without knowing it, where the old road crosses the turnpike. Yon pass-
