I havo only to state that, the moment when the tale I am about to toll commences, it was 11Q011, that the month is May, that the road on which we are entering is bounded to the right bv heath and broom, the left by the sea, and you know at once what 1 do not tell you?namely, that the broom in oreon. 1 bat the son is bins turitig, that the sky is blue, that the son is hot, ami that the road is dusty. I have only to add that this same road, which winds along the coast ol liiittany, goes lrorn La L'oterio to La L'iroche; that La ihrocheis a village I have never seen, but which must be just like every other village; that we are fanly alloat in the liiteenth century, in 1418; and that two men, one older than the other, one the father and the other the son, both peasants, are jogging along the road, mounted on ponies, which trot at a pace sulli iently agreeable, considering they are only ponies bcstroddcn by peasants. 'Shall we get there in time?' asked . 1 me son. 'Yes; it won't take place before two j'cloek,' answered the father, and it is [>nly a quarter past noon, by the sun.' 'It is \^hat I am very curious to <ee.' 'I have no doubt you are*' 'And so he is to l>e handed in the irmor he stole?' 'Yes.' 'And he was cauglit as he was makng away with it?' 'Yes; you can comprehend that the irmor was not to be carried oil' with>ut making a horrible clanking and attling; it iia?l no inclination to leave ts lawful master.' 'Besides, it was made of iron.' 'The people in the cheateau were iwakened by the noise they heard.' 'And they arrested the lellow?' 'Not immediately; they were in a right at first.' 'Naturally enough; it is always the | wn fit lii'wl ivitli /i/titiilo vu I! n >ii'n I'uli. I ?ed when lhey find themselves in the >resenee of robbers; otherwise there vouhl be no advantage in being a obbor.' 'lint afraid of whom?' 'Of a ghost. This wretched thiol, of nicominon strength, held the armor n front of him in such a way that his lead was at about J.ho level ot the vaist of the said armor, so that it ap>eared to be of gigantic proportions in he corridor along which he passed. Vdd to that a harsh noise which the ainning rascal made behind him, and fou can lancy what a terror the valets vere in. Unfortunately lor him, they vent and roused the Seigneur of La 'iroche, who cares a straw for no nan, either living or dead, who simply, md without any one's assistance, topped the thief, and delivered him 1 p, bound hand and loot, to his own >roper justice.' -An lndopc?] WAYbOllO, S. C., SA' 'And his own nropcr juBcico.' 'Condemned him to be hanged, cl.vl in the armor.' 'Wherefore that clause in the sentence?' 'Because the Seigneur of La l'iroche is not only a brave captain, but a man of sense and spirit, who wants to obtain from this just condemnation 'both an example for others and a benefit for himself. Well, don't you know that whatever has touched a hanged man becomes a talisman lor iis possessor? The Seigneur of La 1'iroche therefore ordered the criminal to be clad in his armor, that lie might take it back again after he was dead, ami so have a talisman in our coming wais. 'That's a very clever stroke.' 'I should think so, indeed!' 'Let us push on, then; for I particularly want to see this poor wretch hanged.' 'We have plenty of time; we had better not over fatigue our cattle. We arc not going to slop at La Pirochc; 1 ? i . ? * we nave a good league 10 go neyomi it, and then we must return to La 1 'otorie.' 'Yes; l>ut our horses will have five or six hours' rest, sinee we are not coming hack before the evening.' The fat her and son continued their journey, chatting as they went, and halt an hour afterwards they readied La 1'irochc.' As the father had said, they arrived in time. There was an immense concourse of people in the grand square in front of the chateau, tor there the soaflohl was erected. The two companions got as near as possible to the seaflbld, in order to lose nothing of the events that were about to take place; and like everybody else, they awaited the spectacle, with the ad van t ant age of being mounted on ponyback, and of seeing better, with less fat igue. Their suspense was not ol long duration. At a quarter to two the gate of the chateau was opened, and the condemned man appeared, preceded by the guards of the Seigneur of La I'iroehe, and followed by the executioner. The duel was clad in the armor no nnd stolon, aim was riding backwards on an ass without a saddle. His visor was down, and he hung his head, llis hands were tied behind his hack; and ii you wish to know our conviction respecting him, we declare, without hesitation, that, judging by his manner of altitude, it not by his face, which could not lie seen, lie was very ill at ease, and was occupied at that moment by the most melancholy reflections. The hangman had just set his ladder leaning against the gallows, and the chaplain of the Seigneur ot La I'iroehe, mounted on a platlorm purposely prepared, was reading the sentence. The condemned man did not stir. They called out to him to get oil' hij ass, and give himself up to the hangman. He <iid not budge an inch. We can understand his hesitation. Then life hangman seized him by the elbows, lifted him oil'the ass' hack, arid set him down upright on the I ground. 1 During the change of attitude, the chaplain finished reading the sentence. 'Have you any request to make?' ho inquired ot the patient. 4Ves,' replied the wretched man, iti a sorrowful and scarcely audible voice. 4What is ii?' 41 request my pardon!' The iSoigiiuer of La l'iroohe shrugn geel his shoulders and ordered the hangman to do his ottioe. The oflieial personage prepared to mount the ladder, leaning against the gibbet, which, impassible, with outstretched arms, was about to tear a soui out of a living body, and he tried to make the criminal mount before him, hut the tiling was not easy. The hangman, to make him mount n ' the ladder, had recourse to the same means which he had employed to make i him get off the ass; he look him hv the waist, set him on the third stave I of the ladder, and then pushed him up behind. i 4JJravo!' shouted the crowd. i 4Tl>erc was no help for it, except to mount. Then the executioner adroitly slip 1 .. -i.i . .1 . .. I. .

The two guards rubbed their eyes, in doubt, whether they were dreaming | or not; but such wis the fact. No 1 body, and, as a natural consequence, i no armor. The most extraordinary circumstance was, that the rope was neither I broken nor cut, but exactly in the state in which tt was bclore receiving the criminal. The guards at once went to annonee the news to t lie Seigneur el I a I'iroche. What had become ol the dead man? For t be condemned tliiel was cet tainly dead the day before, as the whole Population had beheld with their eyes. 1 lad another thief taken advantage ot the night to obtain possession ol the armor which covered the body? I'd Imps so; but a bile taking the armor, he would evidently have lel'l the body, for which he had no occasion. Ilild the friends or relatives of the Bullercr determined to give him christian! burial? The case was lar from impossible, except that the sulfcrer had neither I ricuds nor rcial ions; and the people acting under religious motives would have taken the body and lell the armor. That supposition, therefore, was not, to he entertained . W hat, then, were they to suppose? The Seigneur of La Piroche was in despair. He was mad about his suit <>l armor. lie o tie red si reward of ten 1 golden crowns to whoever would do- 1 liver up the criminal, attired as he was 1 sit the time of his death. ' They searched the house; nothing was lound. Nobody came to claim ' the re wan 1. 1 A month was spent in fruitless 1 search. The gallows still remained in its 1 place, humiliated, downcast and do- ' spised. Never had a gibbet commit- 1 ted so disgraceful a broach of confidence. f The Seigneur of La I'iroche continued to demand the restitution of Ins ' armor. ' Noi hing (*anie of it. 1 At last lie was doubtless on the t point of making up his mind to this I strange event, and the loss resulting from it, when one morning, on awak- 1 ening, lie heard a great noise in the ? square where the execution had taken < place. lie was going to inquire what was t nit' mauer, \v 111*11 ins chaplain entered 1 his chamber. r SMonseigneur,' ho said, Mo you know ' what lias happened?'

Hut how had this hanged man employed his time during his month of absence? I low was it that having been hung ho contrived to escape, and that having escaped ho reining himself? Our two peasants, returning homo by night, and passing close to the gibbet, heard moans, gaspings, and something like a prayer; that they devoutly crossed themselves and asked, what it eould he; that nobody replied, but that the moans continued, appearing j to come from the body that was hang- j ing overhead. They then took the holder, whirli the hangman had left at ! the loot ol the gibbet, set it against | the side ol the gallows, and the son, : mounting as l.ir as where the criminal | hung, said to htm, Ms it you w ho are making these complaints, my poor lei- , low ?'

The rope, instead of compressing the neck ol the thief, pressed the bottom of the helmet in such wise that the patient was suspended, but not strangled, and that catching with his head at a sort ol ledge or resting place within the helmet, he had managed to breathe and keep lite existing up to .he moment when our two conipanons passed by.
