You'll have to go anil see him there , for ho ain't tt'CJinlr. " homo again. Yon must bo pretty qalck , for ho was a goln' to start not far from this time , " This wiii evidently a pretty well contldorcd scheme of Mr. Tnpllng's , and Indicated that ho must have some thing somewhere worth taking a good deal of pains for. This could not well bo anything except monry , which ac cordingly 1 presumed ho had about his person , to the full amount of the receipts from his swindling sales , very likely 5,000. On skates , I meditated ; that is not a bad Ides ; It's glorious skating all the way np , and for such a sllppei/ trick so sllppory a moans Is very just ifiable I determined that I would take a hasty supper , procure o pair of skates aud a stout stick , and start off alone after our sly friend John ; for skating being a specialty of mine , I made no donbt that If ho should have sot ont 1 could overhaul him on the river. So , meditating and de ciding , I reached the hotel , and find ing the proprietor , I addretsod him In haste : "Landlord , I want you to do four things a little faster than they were ever done before. First , got mo my supper. Second , send ont and buy me a pair of good skates ; and also , third , a stout straight cane. Faurth , furnish mo a pocket fluk of good brandy. " "It shall bo done in fifteen minutes , sir. " Ho disappeared with spaed , and U was done I mean the supper and before my short and rapid meal was complete the required remaining arti cles were at hand ; and paying my bill , putting tho.skates and tlaskln my pocket , fortlfjlng myself with com forter , overcoat , gloves and mittens , and grasping my stickI was off. It was uow between D and G o'clock , and bitter cold , with a sharp wind from the northeast. Settling my head well down In my coat-oollar , as If I were trying to cover my oars with my shoulders , with hands In pockets , and cap drawn over my eyes , I turned northward , bent loir , headed dligon- ally across the river to round the next point above , and struck out across the glimmering , silent ice , with . long , steady , rapid , swooping ttrokes. My skates , fortunately , though quite now , were net too sharp , and , as the Ice was extremely hard , they ran over It with very little of the scoring ont which is BO apt to diminish the spoocd. aud for twenty minutes I sped steadily on at a moderate pace , until I should got a little easy In my work. There had been so much skat ing that the mauy tracks along my ronto afforded mo no Indication as to my predecessor. From Muddloton to Hardnp Is twenty-five miles by the course of the river , bat I might do- crone this distance by a miln or two by taking advantage of my knowl edge of the river and "cuttlug off cor ners. " But Tup ) i OR donbtleEB know the same , aud my object , If attained at nil , nmut bo BO by desperate , straightforward racing. Away I wont , sweeping by the wide , bare meadows , pnt the gorges In the bills , whirling round point after point , stretching in s'rjl ' [ > ht lines from one to the next , while the redup.loatod ringing utrokci of my skates made a monotonous tnuoli for mo , and I onld hear the little fragments , cut out by uu ooaieiona ! heavy foot thruU , blown oraukllng backward by the vrlud. Now , I conld BOO upon the river , half way up the reach , the figura of o man skating nlougut a good pace. Il mnat bo Tnpllug ! Now , at last , I pnt forth the very utmost cf my strength ; and , going , at a tremondoaa pace , wu ; rapidly overhauling the dishonest bankrupt , I was almost within speaking distance , when ho must have hoard the ringing of my skate Irons ; for suddenly looking over his shouldoi ho saw me , and instantly redoubled his speed , which convinced mo that he iras my man. Away wo flaw foi nearly a mile In perfect silence , ex < cept for the scoring and ringing skate strokes ; but I steadily closed up , un til aa wo turned and swept northward again , round the bond In the bow ol which the prison stands , I spoke. "Tapllng , hold bard ! I want to speak to you ! " Bat he slackened nol his speed. I continued to gain , and waa jus ! considering whether I would knock him down with my stick or lay handi on him when , taming his head , he suddenly dlsoharued ono pistol shot aud then another , bat , firing over hit shoulder , missed me. I was even al ready lifting my stlok and would have returned his compliment unless h < had "niagod me with a further use ol his revolver , when at once the graj Ice over which wo had been glldlnc disappeared , and I aoomod to bt skating on water. It was dead blacl Ice. An air hole ! An Instantanooui horrid thrill of fright shot througl me. My speed was too great to tun aside , but with an instinctive Impulsi I shut myoyoa and sprang desperately np from the lee with both foot. The tremendous speed of my forme motion and the effect ot that torrid leap swung ma over ton feet of black open water , and thrnw mo with a se vere fall flt upon the thin but toogl black lee beyond. As I leaped I hoarc n cry the crackling of broken Ice i plunge Tapllng had driven bltadlj Into the ghastly open abyss ! I hat slid some distance beyond the spo whore I fell. Stunned and hurt , . ' arose with d flhnlty. A glancoshowet mo that wo were opposite the of tba singular body of water called W Oovo , the warmer outflow from whogf springs , pasting through a narrov channel into the river , hud kept opoi the death trap within whoto fearfu circle Tapllng had risen to the snr fftce , and , the swift current oirrylnj him to the lower side of the orifice ho was sustaining hlmnelf by his arms but made Ineffectual struggles to creo ] ont npon the thin lea , which orackoc and broke as h > ) bare upon It. "Hold still ! " I cried ; "I'll got i hurdle ! " So I hurried to the nox fence , and was returning with th hurdle dragging behind mo , when I ooonrrod to mo that circumstance facilitated the making of gooi conditions with friend John , sine he was now In a manner at my mercy So I halted and addressed him : "Aro you John Tupllng ? " "Yes. " "Will yon settle Mr. Splggloton'a bill If I got yon ont ? " Ho answered evasively , "Oh ! are you going to lot a man drown be fore your eyes ? Shove mo that rail , will yet ? " "Agree to settle that bill in full , and hero's the rail ; If not , why you mast got ont yoarsolf. ( Jomo , I can't wait all night hero ; I have baslncsi at U . " And , dropping the rail , I turned as if to depart ; not that I wonld have loft the rogue to drown , but It was as well to lot him think BO. So ho very sullenly agreed to my aondltlons ; upon which I spread my- Rolf flt on the lee , crawled ont unlit I could roach him with the rail , and hold It as firmly as I could , while ho raised himself npon It and cautiously crawled out , resting partly npon the rail and partly npou the Ice. As ho scrambled along to firmer footing , snob was the Intensity of the cold that ivory time his mitten or hand touched ho lee , all dripping as ho was with water , they fr.czi fast to It ; and when t last ho stood erect , which ho was inly able to do by my help , and walked stiflly and feebly toward the ihoro. Wo had not reached the bank eforo ho was covered from head to bet In crackling lee armor.
