Miss Mabel Wllonghby writes the Toronto Globe , relating this stranso story : 'Many ' years ago ray great undo , a magli- trato of Niagara illatrlct , bail occaalon , na ho often had , to make a journey on horseback through some of tlie moro unsettled parts of wcfctern Ontario. As those were tbc plopeer clays , many parts of Oit'arlo ' , now thickly settled and prosperoup communities , vvero al most unbroken strrtches af forest , Inter- sec'.eil by roads , pasaablo only Ty equestrians. The only places ot public nccommoJatlon were small taverns or Inns , to be found at Intervals of many miles along these trails or rcuds. My uncle add his father-ln-lavv , vvlio accompanied him. carried largemima of money with which to buy grain and cattle from the settlors. Ono afternoon , toward nightfall , as they were ncarlng the sirall Inn where they In tended stopping for the night , they heard the sound of dorses' hoofs close behind them , and. tinning In his saddle , my uncle naw that the strangers approaching him were a dark- visaged pair of men , whom he had noticed at the dinner table with him at the last hostelry. They , however , saluted my uncle and -Mr. H. . Ms father-ln-Uw , In a very civil manner , aad returned the compliments of t/ie hour. The party soon reached the Inn , and , to uncle's surprise , the two strangers trotted on past the only resting place there was for miles. But ho concluded that they were hunters or settlers living farther on , and so for the time thought no moro of It. "Our two grain dealers took their supper aod shortly afterward retired comfortably foi the night. Not long after going to bed Mr. II. , feeling thirsty , rose and went down tc the barroom for a drink of water. ( Nc laughter hero ; he was a local preacher and stanch adherent to the Methodist church. ] On entering the bar to was greatly surprised to see , stretched out on the wooden benches , the gueata of Uho dlnaer table and traveling companions of the early evening. However , ho troubled very little about the matter , ai he thought that they had been overtaken hj night and turned back. On returning to the bedroom he found my uncle dozing , and sc made no mcc.tlon of the uncanny pair In the barroom , and In a few minutes fell asleep also. also."After a ttiort sleep , uncle awoke and al most started out of bed , having had a moat vivid and frightful dream , In which he saw one of those men advancing toWard him with n dark-lantern turned upon his face and a drawn knlfo In his hand. But , finding ttit room perfectly quiet , undo persuaded him. eelf that his dream was the result of some slight apprehension ho fjad had concerning the two men. and so fell asleep again , bul only ( o have the horrible vision repeated. He began to feel that the dream , so vivid am ! persistent , might have the nature of a pre sentiment , so put his band under the pillow to nee that his pistols willed he wrlcd wore safe. But as everything continued perfectly rtlll , he allowed himself to fall Into a llghl dose , which wan again Interrupted by th ( same dream , like a midnight specter. "Now thoroughly alarmed , and feeling thai hU dream was sent as a warning , he rousec the old gentleman by his side and told tiln of It. Mr. H. then told him of the men In the barroom. Till ? Increasing Uielr appcehenslan the two men decided to witch by turns , Mr H. taking the fl'at watch. Not five minute : Hd elapsed before a footstep Just outilili their door caught the ear of bath men. In . : moment the door opened very softly , rod t. man stealthily entered and crept toward the bed , while the two In the bed , prepared foi Immediate defense when the villain hit come close enough to ba seen distinctly , kep perfectly quiet. When within about tw ( yards of the bed the Intending assassin , h ] the manipulation of hi * lantern , which unti this time had remained perfectly dark , threw a clear light over the supposed sleepen an revealed to them the reality of the vhlon- thp Game man , knife and lantern , with hi : murderous Intention hideously written o : bis fixed countenance. Ono glance at his ln < tended victims and hU expression clnngci to ama/cment and fear and ho stood like oni paralyzed as he met my uncle's steady am white face , who , with pistol presented waited but another move on the part of thi villain to kill him on the spot. But the mft' . didn't move. All was perfectly Btlll , exeep for a smothered prayer from the old gc-ntle man. Undo was the first to speak , demand Ing what he wanteJ. No reply was glvar Undo then , threateningly advancing hi piece , ordeied him to Icavo Ihe rcom n once on palj of death. In obedience to thl the robher. without turning his face o changing his attitude In any way , backed a ateidlly from the room aa ho had entcro It and was seen no more.
