?.-Ike Quaker's turn canie next. He
quietly handed over his pocket-book
and Watch, and when asked if he had
any other valuables said, 44 Nay." ? 'x>>
A Quaker's word is good,ov' 'j among
thieves ; so. after a h.isty *-good night,"
the -robber thrust h?s pistol iuto bJ8
pocket, and with his two companions,
one of whom had held the reins of the
Teadcrs. was about departing.
"Stop!" exclaimed the Quaker, in
a tone more of command than of re
quest, -ft a. ^ -iA Tfi
"Stop! What for?" returned the
other in evident surprise.
''For ut leubt two good reasons," yt.it
the reply, emphasised with a coitplu of
Derringer's cocked and presented.
44 IMp \" shunted the robber.
4,Stbp !" the Quaker again exclaimed.
?And if any ouc of thy sinful compan

spirit will .surely move me to blow thy
br iins odt."
The. robber ut the opposite window,
aud the ono at the lenders' heads,
thought it a good time to leave.
4*Now, get in, friend," aaid the
Quaker, still covering hia man, "unl
take the middle seat j but fii^t deliver
up thy pistol." The other hcYitated.
"Thee had better n >t delay} 1 feel
the spirit begin to move my right foro
fiu"Cr.'' ? .
The robber did as he was directed,
and the Quaker took his plaCf by his
side, giving the new comer tho middle
of the seftt
Tho driver, who was frightened half
out of his wits, now set forward at a
rapid rate The lively gcujieuuiu soon
recovered his vivacity. lie was es
pecially faneti.ius oo the Quaker's
prowess. ''You're a ru;n Quaker, you
ate. Why. you don't quake Worth a
cent."
"I n:u not a "Shaking Quaker," if
that's what thee means " .
"Of the ''Hickory," or rather of the
"Old Hickory, stripe, I should say,"
retortod the lively man. Hut the Quak
er relapsing into his usual mouusy Haules,
the conversation flagged.
Sooaor than Wo expeOted, thdr Coach
stopped where we were to have supper
and a change of horses. We had du
fered redistribution of our effects uutil
we should reaoh this place, us tho dim
light of the conch lamp would have
rendered the process ?o-aicwhaf difficult. I
It was uow necessary, however, that
it should ho attended to, once, aa our
jovial Cu in pan ion had previously an
nounced hi.v |iutcXrtH)f oVieuviug. us at
t his point. He proposed a postpone'
meiil till after supper, which he offered
to go unrl o'rdVr.
"Nuy," urged tha Quaker, with all
approach of abruptness, and laying his
liarud on tire other's arm, "business be
lore' pleasure, and1 for business, there is
tio thnc like the present."
44 Will thee be good enough' to search
the prisoner !'.' he said to me, at ill keep
ing his hand, in a liicndly way, on the
passenger's arm.
I did so, but not ouu of the stolen
articles ?mM be found !
"Ho must have got rid of them in
the c i.ieh," the gay gentleman sa^
gested, and immediately offered tu go
uud search.
' SLop !" thundered the Quaker,
tig' tening his grasp.
'Ihe man turuo i pale, and struggled
to release hia arm. In an instant obc
of the Deniugers was leveled at his

The Quaker, I need acatcely add? was
