THE EPIZOOTIC.
Upon my sole I've walked so much,
Since horses have lei n hoarse,
I feel like some pedestrian sport
In tralningon the course.
I've worn my lwnts- to sandals, and,
The sand's all in my tt-et ;
Jly ctlves won't work, if oxen do,
For horses on the street.
Such "pilgrim's progress- ns this is.
Make e.ieli man "bunion" bate;
And though a strict tetotaler,
lie's corned in spite ol late.
Forgotten now Is horsemanship, -
And driving n lost art ;
Hotels can't lurnish carriage
They've nothing but the carte.
The price of leather's going up
At a most le:irful rate.
And every cow hides quivering,
Lest shafts should be her fate.
No car 'oss now will carry us,
Urs;ed on by driver's whacks ;
Oh ! lor the wings Icarus had.
Although they went by wax.
Then let us hope that horses may
lie freed from present woes.
And running on their leet again,
Instead of at the nose.
OAPTAIN KATE.
"I am going down to the lakeshore
where it's cool and quiet; where I
needen't work or even think, but do
just as I please." Thai's what I said
to Fred Gorman.
Fred looked blank. "Don't go this
afternoon," he said. "I want you to
go with me to Madame V '.-to-night,
and be presented to Captain Kate, the
new belle."
"Tliunk you," I responded; "but
no more girls of the period for me, if
you please I had rather be excused."
"Oh, but you must &ee 'Captain
Kate!'" he vont on, "that's what
they call her, because of the followers
she lias ; she's worth seeing."
"I know the style," I said with a
majestic wave of the hand. "Hold
eyes blue, perhaps, black, probably
rather tall, immense chignon,
laughs and cracks jokes like a troop
er, and never says a word of sent.e.
I repeat it, my friend, not any for
me."
But just wait " began Fred,
and I interrupted with another wave
of the hand.
'Aly friend, I shall leave town this
afternoon, for the lake; should like
your company, but if you choose to
stay, 1 go alone. I want nothing of
this Kate or any other woman." '
'"Pon my soul!" cried Fred, wid
ening his blue eyes. "What has come
over you, the king of male llirts?
Been bitten, eh?"
"No, simply disgusted," I answer
ed, loftily. "I'm tired of work and
women, and an-going to leave both.
Will you go?"
"Not till next week ; then I'll fol
low." "All right," I suid, and we parted.
"King of llirts!" Fred had called
me, and that term needs some explan
ation, for I should regret having any
of my friends think me that most de
testable affair, a man butterfly.
I was thirty, not bad looking, and
a well-to-do young lawyer, possessed
a nice little property. J had a due ap
preciation of women liked most of
them extiemely well, loved none;
paid them some harmless confplt
ments; chatted, waiktd and drove
with them. But as for flirting why
I spoke no word of love; gave no fair
lady any reason for thinking I was. in
love, ami jMrs. urundy gave me ap
pellation of "Male Flirt." Well,
never mind ; I didn't.
1 went down to the lake shore that
afternoon ami engaged rooms at a
private dwelling.
"We have three boarders now," the
pleasant little lady said, "and expect
one more to-morrow afternoon a
young relative fioni the city and
there are just rooms for one more."
Those I engaged and domiciled my
self immediately in my quarters, but
not at all pleased with the prospective
young lady. There were two already ;
but harmless individuals, I mentafly
observed at the table ; one a studious,
damsel who wore spectacles ami Inok-
I ed at the ceiling; the other an inva
lid, and wife ot the male boarder. But
this "coming girl" who was she,
and what did she want to disturb mv
coveted i)eace and country quiet for?
No doubt she would be a dashing,
slashing, panier and sash-end style of
yirl, who would dure me into makintr
love to her, and jjive me no peace un
til I did. Flirtations mijrht all be
very well, but a fellow didn't want to
be dragged into it, when he wa in
search of peace and quiet. This wac
m mental style oi soliloquy until
the coming girl came. I watched her
irom my winuow as tue nacK set tier
. " . .... . .
down.
Small, dressed in grey, veiled. That
was all I saw, save two moderate-sized
trunks. All. until, two hours la
ter, I saw her at the table, and took a
private inventory. Bather below the
medium height, and slender figure
fair, with faint color in her cheeks;
hair dusky brown, curling, or, rather
waving, not quite to the shoulders,
and lied with a blue ribbon from the
smooth brow ; eyes, a quiet brown,
and clear as a summer lake. That
was all, I think, that I noticed. No,
the mouth was very sweet and pretty,
and totall3' devoid of that society
smirk and haughty curl which are so
decidedly repulsive in women. I re
member thinking of that, and then
quite forgetting Miss Whiting until
the following day.
"A very quiet, sensible-appearing
and rather pretty young woman," I
have said to myself, "and not one
likely to molest me in any way."
I strolled out to a little arbor the
next forenoon, with a book in my
hand, and found Miss Whiting, with
a book in her hand, seated in said ar
bor. "I beg pardon," I began ; "I did
not know the place wa-i occupied."
"Make believe that it isn't," she
said, 'and come in. There is ample
room, and I am so interested m my
book that I shall not even see you."
Feeling decidedly complimented at
tlie closimr sentence. 1 seated mystn
on the opposite bench and opened my
book. But I did not progress rapidly.
Miss Whiting was interesting in re
pose, made such a pretty good-looking
picture sitting there, that I could
not but watch her.
llow interested she seemed to be in
her book, and how utterly oblivious
of my presence! Was I such a non
entity, then? I bean to feel verj
uncomfortable. If she would only
glance at me! But she wouldn't.
Once she picked some crawling thing
from her dres. and tossed it at the
door, hut never glanced at me.
"Miss Whiting." I said at length,
"pardon me, but I am tired of mak
ing believe. I had rather think the
arbor occupied."
Mhs Whitintr kept on reading, and
answered quietly :
"Very well, oousider me here."
"Not to be worsted iu this way. I
said boldly, "Well, but I want you to
talk to me.7'
She closed her book, keeping one
slender hand between the pages, and
lifted her childishly calm ey s to my
face.
"It is a very pleasant day. Mr. Les-
tter." she said with perfect gravity.
ueciueuiy," i responded.
"Much cooler since the shower,"
she observed.
"It is." I assented.
"Looks like rain in the east," she
remarked
"It does," I said, and then we both
laughed.
"Now," she said, "I hope you will
let me go on with my book. It is
UicKens 'Great Expectations,' and
you nave ever read it, you can under
stand mv interest."
"Do you like Dickens?" I asked.
"No," said she, "I love him. From
the opening paire to the Finis,' his
book- are gardens of delight to me.
He interests you in his meanest char
acter, and enlists your sympathies,
not with one, but with all. lie i in
imitable he is incomparable. Oth
ers may, i:i their style, be as inter
esting, to me there is none like him."
A deeper flush had come into her
cheeks and her eyes grew wider and
darker.
"Decidedly pretty now," I inform
ed myself, "and really an intelligent
little person."
After that, Miss Whiting and I
were quite sociable. I sought her so
ciety, and she did not avoid me. but
! treated me precisely as she would a
younger brother. Not just that eith
er, for she was a little more reserved ;
and yet we had some very pleasant
chats together. She could talk sense,
and I prided myself on my abilities
in that line, and so almost n week
slipped by before I knew it.
"I think I should find it very dull
here but for you," I said to her one
day. "Odd, too, when I dreaded
your coming so."
She looked up wonderingly. "Dread
ed my coming?"
"Yes; I feared you would be one of
the slashing kind, and would dress to
kill, and talk me wild and give me no
peace."
"What gave you that idea?"
"I don't know, unless it was bc-ing
bored to death by my chum, Fred
Gorman, about a "Captain Kate,' the
belle of the season, and I thought
you might be her style."
"And did you ever see this Captain
Kate?" asked Miss Whiting, lifting
her calm lakes of eyes to mine.
"No; but I can imagine her," I an
swered. "And what do you imagine her
like?"
Thereupon I gave her a description
very much as I had given Fred, and
closed by saying :
"Now, that style of girl I cannot
tolerate, and fearing you weie one of
them, no wonder I dreaded you."
"Then you do not consider me at
all like Captain Kate?" she querried,
archly.
"Not at all," I said decidedly. "As
I told you in the beginning, but for
yi;i; 1 should feel stupid and dull.
Youi society renders it very pleasant,
and you aie in all things the opposite
to my tears."
"Oil, tnank you!"
Shcbuid itso dryly, that I looked
UD to caieb the iiidUeu meaning of
her words, but she was reading and
her face was as calm a UMial.
The next day Fred came. I was
standing at the gate, when he came
up fioni the hotel, and, after the greet
ings, Fr;d brought his hand down on
my shoulder.
"So Ben, my boy, you jumped from
the ir ing pan into the fire, didn't
you '.Mia! Ha! good joke. How.did
you like her?"
I turned in astonishment. "Like
who? what do you mean?"
lWhv
Captain Kate,
ot
course."
Kate,"
"I haven't seen Captain
replied with dignity.
"What, don't Miss Catharine Whit
ing board here with her step aunt,
Mrs. Dearborne?"
I jumped at least three feet into the
air. "You don't mean "I began,
while Fred interrupted coollj, :
"As a jumpist you are a successist.
As a stupid blockhead, you also excel.
Yes, Mi-- Whiting is Captain Kale."
'But, Fred,' I said, helples-ly, '-he's
so innocent and childlike, and rarely
pretty, and so sweet and quiet.'
'All put on,' said Fred, shaking his
head gravel". 'She is a regular flirt,
and those are her arts. She's weav
ing her nets around you, I see, suc
cessful I'.'
The emotions of my heart T should
find difficult to explain. But I found
Miss Whiting in the arbor, half an
hour later, after Fred left, and I lifted
1113' hat with a flourish, and knelt at
her feet.
All honor to Captain Kate,' I said
in mock humility.
She closed her book with almost a
yawn.
.You've found out,' she
f.vl.l ,.r.l, ''
said, 'who
IU1U k.'ll
'Fred.
And shall I ask pardon for
remarks I made yestenlny .'
'Certainly not,' si.e said sweetly.
'You had never seen me then.'
'And now I have a proposition to
make,' I began. 'We are to spend
several weeks together here, and re
port calls you a terrib. flirt '
'So it doe3 you,' she interrupted.
'I heard of you iiefore I left town.'
'Very well,' I continued, the more
need of my proposition. It is tin
Let us enter into a league to have a
grand flirtation ; each knowing there
is no danger of a broken heart on eith
er side. Thus we have nothing to
fear, nothing to guard, and can be
very happy.'
'But what is the need ?' slip asked.
'We hain't flirted before why need
we now ?'
'Because we couldn't help it; and
it is better togo about it with a full
understanding than to fie -ly about it
in the old way. Thinking you harm
less, Mis Whiting, I could have -root-on
all summer and never dreamed of
flirting; knowing yon to be Captain
Kate, I shall suspect you of malicious
intentions every move yon make.
Therefore, let lis acree to a flirtation
and all will be well.' .
'I agree,' she said archly, 'and here
is my hand on it.' She s ivi me her
hand I remember thinking how soft
and shapely it was and I raised it to
my lip-.
'Would your heart come with it?' I
said, and she laughed merrily.
'Bravo, a good beginning! I see
you are no amateur!' she cried, and
we launched on tlie sea of flirtation.
I told Fred of our arrangement the
following day. I thought lie looked
pleased. r .
'All right, old fellow,' hesaid.shak
intr my hand heanilv. 'I am iilad to

my dear bey, with my blessing; but
don't marry her until I leave, and so :

0h, no ! I shouldn't think of it un-1
derayenr. My business won't per
mit, and I suppose she will bewiliiii";
to wait,' and Fred looked as grave
ami thoughtful as if it were settied.
'No doubt she will wait any length
of time you :ugget,' I said, so dryly
that Fred looked up quizzically. See
ing me perfectly serious, he continu
ed :
"And, Ben, couMu'fc j-ou seeing
you have no intention there yourself
speak a good word for my prospects?
Speak about that uncle of mine that
weniuo India twenty years ago, and
has never been lizard of since. You
if; couldn't put that in, though ; just
y
he went there, and I am the
only
heir.
I assured Fred that I would do so.
Just as well as not,' I said. 'Will
bring your perfections all to light, and
sh3' nothing of 'our failings.' Fred
thanked me warmly, and we parted.
Capt. Kate was in the garden when
I returned. She was dressed in a blue,
thin gauze stuff", and a frill of lace at
her throat and wrists. She looked
exceedingly pretCy and I told her so.
'Good !' she cried, bringing her
shapely hands together. 'I dressed
purposely to make 'ou pa' compli
ments, and have succeeded. Am I
really, truly prett3?'
. 'lleally and trul3",' I echoed.
'And 1113' e'es are not bold, and I
do not seem like a trooper?'
'Your e3'es are the sweetest in the
world, and 3-011 Seem like an angel.'
She breathed a long breath.
'How nice! Now, where have vou
been ?'
'To see Fred the finest fellow alive.
Got a rich uncle in India, somewhere,
and is the only heir.'
'Does that constitute his fineness?'
she said, a little scornfull'.
'According to a woman's Idea, yes.
But that is not all. He is a splendid
fellow, good, intelligent, stead".'
'Rather a pleasant fellow,' she ac
knowledged, 'and he waltzes like an
angel.'
'Are angels proficient in that accom
plish 11. ent?' 1 laughed.
'Well, I suppose so,' she retorted.
'You call me an angel, and I waltz
beautifully.'
I should never have recognized
Miss Whiting for the girl I had known
before. She dropped her quiet, calm,
child-like self, and assumed the gay,
dazzling mask of Captain Kate.
She dressed becomingly and ele
gantl3', 3'et with no show or glare of
colors, else it would not have been be
comingly. She studied 1113' taste in
all things, and fairl' dazzled me with
her wit and beaut-. Yet I think I
missed Miss Whiting sorely, for a few
days after her departure and Kate's
advent. We walked, we sat, we
drove, we talked together. Fred oc
cupied all the spare moments, and,
few as they were, he seemed very
hopeful, for Fred was always hopeful
about all things, though he never
succeeded in anything. He had paid
his undivided attention to three
young ladies, at different times, and
been certain of success, and each time
failed. He wa- not ca-t down, how
ever; but was now looking confident
ly forward to his union with Captain
Kate.
'You have helped mo a great deal.
Ben.' he would say, 'and I thank you
heartily for your kind words. When
I am settledcon-ider my home yours.'
'Certainly,' I would respond, 'I
will, Fred.'
'So three weeks slipped by, and in
two more I should depart. Our flir
tation continued unabated. Kate was
bewildering, and I sometimes trem
bled for my own safety. Once, when
standing near by to her, my lip-somehow
came in contact with hers, and I
had never felt quite safe since that
ilay. 'Kis-ing provoketh love,' I said
'and I will avoid that hereafter.'
So I did ; ami we sailed, and rode,
and flirted delicious!' through the re
niaiiuug two weeks, and one morning
I arose with the uncomfortable feel
ing upon me that it had all come to
an end. and I was to leave on the
I forenoon tram. I also arose with an
other ki.owledge tint I was very
much iu love with Captain Kate;
yes, decidedly, irrevocably iu love. I
had an odd feeling, too, that it was
just what Captain Kate intended, and
I determined to keep my secret lock
ed up in my breast. So I compli
mented her," in 'the old mock way,
through the morning, and was con
scious that, under all her gayety,
there was linking .disappointment.
And then I nerved myself foj it;
went to the arbor to say the last fare
well. -
'With my mrist heartfelt thanks for
the pleasant flirtation you have kind
ly indulged me in, and hopingyou all
happiness in the future, I will say
good-bye.' ""V
'And who will I dre-5 for now, and
who will pay me pretty compliments,
and admire me?'
'Fred will serve a3 a substitute,
won't he?' I asked; but she bhook
her head, gravely.
'Thanks for the compliment.' I
laughed. And now may the Fates
provide for you until you return to
town.'
So I lpft her, with a greater pain in
mv heart than I ever had betore ; a
naln that grew deeper and deeper ev
ery step I took, till at tlie foot of the
hill it became unendurable, and 1
turned about and walked defiantly;
back to the arbor. Captain Kate's
face was in iier nanus, ami tears were
falling upon her dre-s.
'Kate,' I said softly, 'what is the
matter?'
She started violently, and then
laughed through her tears
'I hurt my finger with a thorn and
it made me cry.'
'Let me extract the thorn,' I said,
putting my arm about her waist. 'I
came back to tell vou that I was tired
of 'make believe' love, and want to
play love in earnest; will you '.'
K Whv 1 s-uppo-e I could only '
Onlv what, Kate?'
'Why, about the grand flirtation ?'
'We will end it in a grand wed
ding,' I said.
'I gue-- that will be a good idea,'
K-ite aii-wered from my shoulder
I -aid good-bye again, and went to
see Fred.
'By the way, Ben.' he said, 'now
vou are going. I think I shall propose
to Kate and settle matters.'
'I wouldn't, Fred.' said I; 'for she
is going to marry me !'
It was rather abrupt, but Fred got
over it, and his uncle really came
from India and gave him a hand-nine
fortune, and he married my pretty
sister and is 'ery happy.

From the Eowl.nr Green (Ky.) Democrat.j (
A little more than two years ago, as ,
tne umiw -" "inn sie.nuei unw, 1-
iug Green, from Bowling Green, Ky., j
to Evansville, Ind., was approuching .
the landing at Montgomery, Ky., an i
unusually large crowd was seen upon
the bank of the river so unusual a
crowd, in fact, a- to attract the special
attention of crew and passengers.
Upon landing, three men, aimed cap-a-pie,
brought a pri-oner aboard. The
oldest oi tlie party, atterward ancer -
tained to be the father of one of the
younger men, approached the captain
and trave him the following history:
He said that he lived somewhere in
the interior of Indiana, and that sev
en! years prior to this date the pris
- . . --
oner was a sprurhtlv. attractive voumr
Lotl
nario, teacning scliool in tlie vi
emit" of his home, and part of the
time boarding at his house. Pater
familias had a daughter just budding
into womanhood, and, of course, at
the most susceptible age.
The reader anticipates me no doubt.
The oft-repeated storv- was re-enacted.
The young sehool-teacher and the
maid became attached, engaged, and,
alas, with the result, also not unpre
cedented, she "loved not wisely, but
too well." Before the discovery, the
faithless swain departed to parts un-
known, leaving the poor girl to meet
tlie horrors ot her situation alone and
unsustained.
The law of Indiana makes seducr
tion felon, and the girl's father
swore vengence against her seducer.
Annually, after his crops were "laid
b3'." or garnered, when he had the
most leisure, he and his son were ac
customed to devote one or two months
to a methodic and patient search for
the culprit. Sometimes traveling by
rail and then by river, and yet, again,
through more obscure and unfre
quented parts of the country, in bug
gies, or carriages. All their efforts
were unsuccessful until the spring of
1571, when, pursuing their search
through the Green River section of
Kentucky, they, by some accident,
found him teaching school on Mud
River, Butler county. Armed with a
requisition from the Governor of In
diana, nnd the approval and order of
arrest from the Governorof Kentucky,
they took charge of him. The young
man had, in the meantime,
MARRIED AN KSTIMAKLII LADY,
who wa-, at this time, the mother of
a baby only three weeks old. His ex
emplary habits had made him many
friends! ami the peculiar, and to all,
interesting condition of his family,
caused tin-affair to exasperate them
in no slight degree; and. in connec
tion with serious threats toward the
arresting party, application was made
to Hon. John Ii. Halsell. then the
Judge of this Judicial Circuit, and
sitting at Morgantown, for a writ of
habeas corpus, which was granted,
and the prisoner brought before him.
Upon presentation of the requisition
and order of the Governors, respect
ively. Judge Halsell, while feeling, in
common with the, whole community,
a profound sympathy for the prisoner,
was i-ompelli d to remand him to the
custody of his prosecutors. Fearing
a mob and violence, which were
threatened, they, instead of return
ing in their carriage, waited for tho
steamer Bowling Green, and came
aboard as already related.
The old man, while exultant over
his success, was painfully apprehen
sive of an attempt to rescue his pris
oner at Rochester forty miles by wa
ter below, and near the home of the
prisoner and his friends ami there
fore he hired young , a six and
a half foot Kentuckian, as in assist
ant guard, furnishing him with a
double-barrel shot-gun and navy re
volver. They all declared their de
termination to die rather than sur
render their charge, and appealed to
the captain for aistauce in ca-o of
attack. The captain respectfully de
clined to order his crew to do any
fighting for them, but assured them
in good faith of his perfect neutrality,
and that he would place no obstacles
in their way. Thereupon, rather
startling and impressive preparations
fir defense were made before arriving
at Rochester, and an attack may have
been contemplated and abandoned in
view of the desperate resistance indi
cated. There was quite a crowd as
sembled at the lauding, and some
trepidation manifested by both par
ties, but, fortunately, there was no at
tempt to
RELEASE THE PRISONER.
Instead there came aboard a small,
delicate, pale-faced woman, with a
three-weeks-old babe in her arms.
The woman had ridden about twelve
miles through mini, cold and sleet, to
intercept the boat that was bearing
her husband to a felon's cell in an
Indiana penitentiary. Whatever
might have been his indiscretions as
the mildly termed them in his earli
er youth, she said to the captain th .t
he had always been noble, kind and
true to her. She knew of this sad af
fair in his history before her marriage,
knew the girl was utterly worthless,
and that, in this affair, her husband
was more the victim than the girl
"more sinned against than sinning."
Many persons present knowing and
bearing witne-s to his exemplary life,
and impressed with their evident mu
tual affection, the lively sympathy of
all aboard the steamer was soon man
ifested. But I anticipate.
Delicate though the little woman
evidently was, she had the air of one
enthused with some great passion and
nerved to some desperate purpose.
Her step was as firm and stately as a
queen's, her eyes alllio-t scintillated
-arks from exalted nervou- excita
tion, and her thin, pale Hps were
compressed until there eoubl'be seen
the 'upiiit of her -mnll teeth

With a sort of fascination. I followed.

for some time, beyond mutual inqui

the husband of injury to both mother
and child from exposure to such
weather so soon after her
ACCESSION TO MATERNITY.
The steamer had progressed many
miles by ied time, and meanwhile a
ptateroom had been assigned the wo

ing: "You need not open your

tier taunt prevailed. The cuard
I Yielded, and the nrisnnor rotinwi with
- tus wite. I was astonished at her suc-
cess, and wondered at the imbecility
of the guard ; but. at several success
ive landings, while the lady was still
up, they would demand admittance to
her room, look in upon the prisoner,
see that he was there, and then re
tire. The steamer was about arriving at
Calhoun. The boat had blowed, or
whistled, for the landing. I had no
ticed some suspicious maneuvers
among the passengers, nnd, to admit
the truth, among some of the officers;
but yet nothing tangible. I sat up
later than usual, under a vague nnd
shadowy impression that some "un
derground work" was going; on. Tlio
pilot who was at the wheel a lamen
ted friend is now dead. When Hear
ing the landing I noticed the boat iu
a most unusual position relativo to the.
bank her head pointing obliquely
across to the other shore, while her
stern was scraping along the bank in
the bushes on the landing side. I
looked, but there was no wind to ex
plain it. I could not understand it.
After scraping her stern along the,
bank for about a hundred yards, she
at last righted, and came into the,
landing all right. As usual, on laud
ing, the guard rushed up forward to
watch the exit of all, forgetting that
a boat has two ends, and that it is
possible to gel off at either. Had they
been cognizant of this fact, this tiue.
stor might have been materially al
tered. After leaving the lock at this
point the guards, as usual, went to
Sirs. 's room and demanded admittance-
She, for the first time, re
fused to open tlie door, alleging, as a;
reason, that she hail now undressed
and they could not then come in.
They appealed to the captain. Ha
tohfthem he was powerless. As the,
lady claimed, she had paid for her
room; it was sacred to privacy, and
he thought the' had lost control of-
I,, i,rLi,ttnr u'liim fliov onnontifnil frv
; t.t ni:n illtn Iu.r room Tnt uaria
then declared their determination, to,
see, and again
DEMANDED ADMITTANCE,
threatening to break down her doop.
She then asked them to "wait a min
ute," and I supposed she would dress
and submit to the search. A moment
elapacd, when the little woman step
ped quickly and firmly out. closing
the door with a clash behind her, and
with a cocked Derringer in her hand.
If her manner was us I have described
it when she first came on board tho.
steamer, it was now a hundred-fold
exaggerated ! A pythonees, a lioness,
an enraged tlgeress at hay! She can't
be described as she then appeared.
Have you not felt the spell tho aw
ful fascination of a great and terriblo
passion ? .Here it was her eyes fair
ly blazing, her hand trembling, not
with weakness, but surcharged power;
the glittering weapon raised, exposing
its murderous half-inch caliber; its
shining percussion cap and hammer,
drawi back in dreadful threatening
harmony with its mistress. No wit
ness of this scene will ever forget the
scathing, burning words that then
hissed from her lips as she said :
"And you would break into a lady'a
bed chamber, would you? Is thero
one of you who is tirtd of life and
covets death ? Then Jet him come,
lor, oy an mat is sacreu, oy my own
honor, the man dies that puts his foot
iu this door."
Then, derisively, she added, 'Come,
do come. Where is the hero who
would break a lady's door?" And
with a "haw! haw!" sounding half
maniacal, she stood awaiting the re
sult. The guards shrank back before
the power of passion and desperate
determination thus displayed. Nor
were they cowards. It was but too
apparent that this wa3 no mere act
ing. Death for one was certain, and
they did not wish to harm her. Again
and' again, for thirty miles, at several
landings, they would go back and try
persuasion, then threats, but were,
always met with the murderous, cock
ed Derringer, and the solemn declara
tion that "the man diet that enters my
room .'"
At Delaware, after several vain api
plications, the
HEROIC LITTLE WOMAN
suddenly stepped out from her room,
dresseh, quiet and dignified, as if noth
ing untifeual had happened, and, with
well-affected courtesy, invited the
guards to enter. They did enter, and
you may imagine their consternation
on finding that "the bird had flown!"
In the "hubbub" attending the dis
covery tlie captain was culled, then
about li o'clock a. m. He could give.
the guards no comfort men seldom
find svmputh' when outwitted by a,
woman but he placed the boat at
their service for a thorough and ex
haustive search. The landing of tho
tsterii of the boat at Calhoun, instead
of her bow, was now recollected and
understood. It was all plain now,
and the collusion of the pilot and
mate on watch was self-evident. The
captain charged them with it. They
did not deny it. He reprimanded
them smiv, though ii wniobervui
that they were 110 discharged, for,
thf3 cfcatnly an act'qf. rnery,
though, maybe, 'at the expert ?
justice.
But to return to this bra, ImmI
woman. The thrilling epi-ode over,
she lay there, weak, almost fainting,
but glorified at Iea-t in the writer's
estimation. But a sh. rt time before
she had appeared like a threatening,
destructive thunderbolt, surchaniid
with power and desperate, unflinch
ing will now weak, exhausted, gen
tle as a Iamb. Her object accomplish-!
ed, her liu-hand saved, her woman
hood, in all its beautiful tenderness,
and gentleness, returns, and, in the
reaction from the terrible excitement
of the ordeal through which she had
paQsed. she lays utterly exhausted
almost dead. Her little infant wss
scarcely more helpless, hut the hero
ifiu -he had displayed, coupled will' '
her delicate condition, elicited froni
all on board the most watchful and
ten er care. She fully recovered in a
few weeks, rejoined the husband her
bravery had snved, and the writer had
the pleasure of meeting them, happy
in each other's affections, and on
their way to . where they hoped
the wrath of the old Nemisisof Indi
