Father Hetfkireli was araoag tbo fore meet ia terrify iog bia audience by the re eilel of differoBt adventures, all more or loae tragical. The worthy father had just finished a horrible story of robber chtf tTauvrt in iu way. Tbo eoen# of the logoad woo little more (baa a gua shot from (ho ioo door ; it was a tradition, enfortuaetely; bill an aneienl gibbet, which etill remained ? tbe identical ?pot, gave to the oarratioa aa air of gloomy verity, wbieh ao oae dared to question. Tbie place wee, ia tratb, made formhla hie ihrewgbeat the province ae being, it wae eaid, the read?avoae of a troop of banditti, whe held there every night their neyeterioae aeetiage. All tbe gueat* were etill under the influence of tbe terror wbieh tbe etory of Father Uoffkireh had eaueed, whe* one of tbe trevelera before mentioned, offered to bet two dueata ttiat aw oae dared to eet off at that moment to the fatel apet, end trace wiib ebereoal 1 a eroee oe the gibbet. The very idee ef eueh a prepoeiiion lacreaeed the fear of the eetapaey. A long eilanee wae tbeir nly reply, Suddenly the young Krettel, ! whe wee quietly epiouiog in the corner reee op aad aeeaplad (be bet, taking her aeaeter'e eoneeat at the earae time, lie aad hie goed wife at flret refueed, aliagiag the looeliaeae of tbe place, in ee?e I i of daager; hat the fearleea denuel peraia* i 1*4, aad wae *4l*e4 eaffsred to depart, j t Krettel on I j requstted that the idii ! door ahould be left open until her return; j | end taking a piee? ef charcoal, to prove ! oa the morrow that the had really visited , the apot, the rapidly walked towarda the g bbet. When cloae betide it, the atar ted, fancying ahe heard a noita; however, after a moment of beiitauon, ahe atepped j forward, ready to take to flight .at the j leaat danger. The noite wan renewed ; | Kretlel listened intently, aid the aound of a horse's foot struck upon her ear.? lier terror preveuted her at first from j eeiug how near it was to her; hut the | next moment she perceived that the oh | jsst of her fear fattened to the gibbet itself. She look courage, darted for ward, and traced the cVoss. At ilia same intlanl. the report of a pittel tkiowed her that ebe had been noticed. Hy a move raeul ewjft at thought, the unlooted the horte, leapt on the saddle, and tied like lightning. She w as jnir.ued; but, re doubling her tpeed, the reachtd the barn yard, called out to them to close the gate, and fainted away. YYhtn the brave girl recovered, elie told her story, and wat warmly congratulated on her courage and preteuce of naiud. All admired the 1 horse, which was of striking beauty. A small leathern valise was attached to the sadJle; bat Father liotlkircli would not sutler it to be opened, except ia ibe pres ence of the burgomaster. Oie the morrow, which was Sunday, the inn keeper, Ins wife and his guests, all set otl to llip neighboring town, where tliev intended, after service, to acquaint >l,. I... :.u i--.

Matty a girl would bar* trembled at being left id auclt a altealioD; but this young aervaul maid, having watched the party disappear, fearlessly act about her household duties, singing, with a light heart and a clear voice, some pious hyma which her kind mistress had taught bar. An hour bad eeareely passed by, when there cagie a knock at the outer deor ; it was a traveler on horseback, who ask d leave to rest for a little. Kreitel at first refused ; but, on lbs promise of the biniiii mni um wuuia oniy nreaktHst ai.d depart, aba agreed to admit him. Tt.a slrauget wished Inmaalf to take bia boraa to tbo stable, and remaiuad a long tuna examining and admiring tlia nubia steed which bad arrived iba pravioua evening in a manner ao unexpected. While break* fasting, ha aaked many questions about the inn and its owners; inquired whose boraa bad attracted bia attention ao much; and, in abort, aclad so successful tbal the poor girl, innocent of all deceit, told bim her late adventure, and ended by confess mg that she was all alone. Sbe felt no mediately a vague sense of having cum* milted some imprudence, for the stranger listened to her with singular attention, aad seemed to take a- greatar interest than curiosity in what sbs was saying. The breakfast was prolonged to its utmost length ; at last, sftsr a few unimportant questions, the traveler desired the servant girl to bring bim a bottle of wine. K ret tie rose ? obey ; but retching the cellar, fo ind that the stranger had followed ber, and, turning round, she saw the glitter of a pistol bandit through his vest. Her presence of mind failed her not at tin* critical moment. When they had 'cached the foot ef the steps, she sudden ly extinguished the light, ami stood up close against the wall; the man, uttering imprecations, advanced a few aiens, gro- , ping his wey. Krettle, profiting by this i movement, remounted the steps, agile and ' iioiealessly, closed and firmly bolted the ddbr upon the pretende<l traveler, and then baricaded herself aecute in an upper chamber, there to await her inasier'e er j rival. Krattal had sot beau many minuets ' asconsad in bar rairaat when a fresh knocking raaoundad at lLa inn door, and aka parcaived lliara two ill looking; man, who askad bar what had Uacoine of m travalar who bad baan tbera a abort time bafora.

An hour pasted away iu the critical position; at Inst ill? girl perceived her mutter end hi? friend? coming in vglit. accompanied l>y the burgomaster and some oflictr?. The brave Krelte! rushed to tl>e door, ' end her feer amountinc almost to despair gave place to lh?* liveliest joy. To the wonder and admiration of all, she related what happened ; tho burgomaster e*pe cially lavished on her the warmest praise for her heroic conduot. The officer? weut i in seareh ot the robber tliuin K-e|iel had imprisoued wilh so much editress ami presence ef mind. After a sharp retis lance, he was bound and secured, and j soon after rec<>gniz?d as the chief of a hand ot robhtie who had for some time spread terror over the country. Hi? men, wandering about without a eaptain; were quickly, either takwn or dispersed. The j burgomaster decided that the horse, and ! valise, which contained a great number of gold pieces, should be given to young Kreltel, whose courage had an pnwerludy coulrihuied to rid ihe country of bandits who had infested 't for ao long a tin.a.
