We heard the story from the Hps of one who professed?and we hr\ve tic t;o?nl reason tc doubt his Word?to have played a prom inent part in the thrilling occurrence, and we give it to the reader just as we have lienrd it: "Some years ago, " says the narrator, "a friend and myself agreed together to take a tramp, hunter fashion, through the great wilderness of the northwest. J laving provided ourselves with what thing* we Ihuiihgt actually necessary and nothing more, we started upon our perilous journey ; for that it was perilous we were fuiiy aware, and Avorv Pi?!iili*r will :idmif "After encountering innumerable hardships and many dangers, we found ourselves in the wildest kind of a region, many 'miles from the haunts of civilization. Already we had pas-sod through enough to have discouraged most of men, but we were young and full of blood, and not easily put out or frightened. This was particularly the case with my companion, whose Dame was Andv I lull". " Jjolli of us Wore perfectly healthy, m strong as iron,:iud eonsidciably experienced in the use of such articles as rillos, j?:r-t??!^ and buwie knives. In all these wo could hold our own with tlm ; l?:i?l it been otherwise we never should have lived to reach the point at which we finally arTived. "Just about dusk, one evening in the latter part of July, altera hard day's tramp, we halted for tlie night. A da; k^r, deep er, lonelier solitude t!. ui iliat which suir->un ded us, it would bit hard to imagine. Si lently wo built a little !;ro and cooked < ur supper, and silciiiy we ale it. Worn out. nn J lor tho time being slightly dispii i'.ed, we were in no humor lor conversation. "i'?r sometime we sat by our camp fire without uttering a single *v??r 1, :md almost without moving. I was lit it U: tig ol home AivJ absent friends, and it is ?in!v rensona Lie to think that Huff was r?i?>?li:tiily occupied. " After the lapse of some timo, our fire burnt low and I arose to replenish it. The barl: of a wolf startled ill'-, ai. 1 ! i.iv-.i i.. tarily addressed my companies. "lIufF did not answer me, h>wi>ver. bir, without noticing th<? ijire'.'ni'.anivs, I tinvw r quantity of laggots uii the lire a::d again addressed him. "'Take a few hours rest, Airly, rtndl'll keep watch,' said I, 'and after that you can do the same by me.' " Still I got no answer, and then t began to notice mv comiiainuiiV minstinl i*fiii<r tiity. " 'Anything liio mallei"; Andy ?' said I, J-egarding him closely; "No answer again: "'That's a little strange,' t rriuUcrcd, moving over toward iily companion; "Huff was sitting facing the fire, with Ii'm head bent down upon his knees. 1 shook him without arousing him. Finally I hllscd his head, and at once became conscious that he Was soundly, deeply asleep. " Laughing off the fears which had for a few moments oppressed me, I left Iluff to enjoy his nap, and settled myself down as comfortable as the circumstances would per m it. " I was dreadfully drowsy, and despite bur perilous situation, despite every effort I made to the contrary, I could not entirely resist the overpowering inlluence of sleen. < Occasion!y 1 started up suddenlj', and found that I liad beer, dozing. Tlie last limo I aroused I was nwuko by the bark of a wolf. Jumping to my feet, I behold ilie fierce animal not a dozen paces distant, his ravenous eyes glaring at me from the darkness. Seizing a burning brand, I llung it at the rapacious nionstef with a!l my strength. I s'ruclc him full in the face, and with a terrible howl he darted otl'in tbe forest. IIufF did not awake, did not even stir, so sound was Itis repose. " After that I did not feel mutch inclined to sleep, though nothing further was to be Been or heard. I examined my rifle and pistols, piled more faggots on the tire, and Kepi on the move, my eyes and ears open for any inoro nocturnal visitors. "Some time passed quietly, and I began to grow insufferably weary. Every musclo relaxed and a drowsy torpor gradually stole over me. My eyes closed unconsciously?my knees bent beneath me, ami I was about dropping to the ground, TTucii i was suddenly aroused by the sound of a man's voice. " 'llello, fellers, how d'yor do V were the words which fell on my ears, and aroused me to full consciousness. I looked around in bewilderment. Oui little camping ground was encircled by a dozen or moro brawney,fierce looking des peradoes. It was a complete surprise, anil on the spur of the moment, I yelled out. : M 'Andy, Andy, wake up!' " 'Yes, wake up, Andy !' ccliocd tlio out laws, loudly nnd derisively. "Aroused at last, my cumrado sprang to Ids feet, and tiro next im-incut wa?btauditrjr l#y my side. " Instantly a dozen or inoro ritlvs v.ci j leveled at us with deadly aim. " Yer ain't goiti to show are ye ?, ( ! demanded one of the outlaws, a In ula! look.

Six more of the brigands foil before our aim, while we remained uninjured, notwithstanding a number ofseatteiing shots whistled around our ears and . over our heads. " 'N'i\v charge uprn the thieves!' yelled Andy, in stentorian tones. m ( " 1 followed my comrade's lead, and to| gather we charged upon the renntMiing five outlaws, f*?r that number were left.

" I thought of Andy, you may he sure, hut could see no way of Gliding out what had become of him. 44 After a while, however, an old and outrageously ugly Indian squaw made her | appearance. Sho brought me food and j medicine, and a temporary light. My wounds had already been dressed. Of course I was eager to question her. "'Mv good woman,'said I, very pleasantly,'I should like to know where 1 am ?will you tell mo V " She shook her head negatively, and to all I could say or do I got no other answer. I inquired about Andy and oilier matters, but received no satisfaction. Finally, I gave up in dispair, and let the old hag go. " A week passed, and I was comparj ilively Tell.
