story to toll, surpassing (be real in horror.
Father Hetfkireli was araoag tbo fore

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

wae eaid, the read?avoae of a troop of
banditti, whe held there every night their
neyeterioae aeetiage. All tbe gueat*

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, !

! 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--. '
uv "iwi iu?ir ifsv?oing j
adventure. -kretlel, left sol* guardian of
the house, ?ti advised not to admit any
oot until li?r uustsi'i r*tur*. 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

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.
