A light. snow, mingled ' with sleet, was whirled about by the wind. ! and pierced through every crevice of a little ! road-side inn, situated between 'llorhherg land Kottwell, on the frontier of theduchy of j ! Baden. i Two travellers, diiven bv the., weather to J ! the shelter of this humble hosiery, were for ' getting their hunger and weariness in the J . comforts of the hearty repast of smoked beef.1 I The hissing and roaring of a large stove | contrasted favorably in the travellers' carsj with the loud moaning of the north wind ; without, and disposed tliein still more t<> the enjoyment of tho good things within. 1 The innkeeper and his wife had for their j only domestic, a young girl of Dnden, whom ! A 1. \ 11 1 * . 1 * ?? ? * ' , iiivv nau orougnt up irom emMiiood. lvret tel, for such was her name, was a host in herself, housekeeper and maid l<> her mistress, cook in the kitchen, vaivot do ch.nnbre to tho stray visitants in the host room in tliei stable?the hardy and good humored <?ermangirl fulfilled all tho duties usually shared by a large establishment of servants. Teu o'clock struck, and the travellers' hav-1 ing finished their supper, drew nearer to the! group that had collected round tho stove, j I Father llotfkirck, the minister, their host, j j and some neighbors who had entered by : j chance. The conversation turned on the | fearful and murderous events of which the! j neighboring forest had been the.scene, and! each one had his own story to toll, stirpassI ing the rest in horror. Father Jlollfkirck was among the foremost in terrifying his | j audience be the different adventures, all more [ j or less tragical. The worthy father had < just finished a horrible story of rohhers, cjuite a ch-'f t/' iruvrc in its way. The scene ofi the legend was a little more than a gun- : shot from tho inn door ; it was a tradition,' unfortunately; but an ancient gibbet, I which still remained on the identical sp.?t,j gave to the narration an air ufj;looinjrttfi| oitv, which no one ihirod < place w.as, indeed, made formtTuJlWnrm^H out the province, as being, it was vvii,|;.j?|BI roto 1<i7VAIIC /\f ?* f !- *" ] *- ?'- ? .v.imt fifvua wi <1 iiuwij wi iMirnn, there, every night there mysterious ine^JjBHp All the guests were still under flucttcc of the terror which the story p3ffirtJM er Ilntl'kirck hail caused, when oijq <juuh travellers before inentioneil oll?T?j^to (bleats daced to ? : ml' moment to th^i,fatal spoU. _and^btcBrSB? charcoal a croflf the gibbet, idea of such a proposition increased A long silence was their only ro^fl denly, the yotuig Krettel, Wlio^^H Mm i:> the corner, rose ujTan^^WBEWI the ln't, asking her m ester's con^nt* same time, lie and his good .wife at'ihoi fir*t refused, alleging tlie lo:u*ri:%?s of" flw*^ place, in e ise of danger. But the feu^pwn damsel [>cvsisted, ami was at last de]?art. Krettel only requested that the inn' 4lwi should bo left open until her leturu, aqpj taking a piece of charcoal, to proMftftf the morrowthatsho had really visitbd tre spot^he rapidly walked toward the gibbet. When close beside it, slio started, fancying she heard a noise. However, after a moment of lufsita-' tion, she stepped forward, ready to take flight at tho least danger. The noise was renew-1 ed. Krcttel listened intently, and the sound ! of a horse's feet struck upon her car. Her' terror prevented her at tirst from seeing how near it was to her?that she object of fear i was fastened to the gibbet itself. She took i courage, darted forward and traced the cross. At. the saino instant the repoit of a pistol) showed her that she had been noticed. Bv \ ? movement as switt as thought, *liounloos-j fined the horse, leaped on the *:tddle, and Hrd like lightning. She was pursued ; but, re- i donbing her speed, she reached the inn yard,: called (?nt to them toclosolhe g it*, and faintod awav. When tho bravo girl recovered froin her fright, she told her snquidngstorv, and was warmly congratulated oft her courage and presence of mind. All admired the horse, which was of striking beauty. A small jloathcrnvali.se was attached to the saddle; but father llofi'fcirek woyld not Hiillef it. to be opened, except in the presence of the 15nr-; gom aster. On tho morrow, which was Sunday the' innkoejr-r, his wife rnd their g.io>ts, nil set otffor the noighhuriiig town, where they in-1 tended, after tho service, to acquaint the liur- i goiuaster with the last evening's adventures. Krettcl, left sole guardian of the house, was; advised 110M0 admit any one until her mis | tcr's return. Many a young girl would have trembled at being in Iter situation; but this young servant maid, having seen the parly disupjicAV, fearlessly ret about her household duties, singing with a light heart and a clear voice sonic pious hymji which her kind mistress had taught her. , An hour ha<l scarcely passed, when there came a knock on tho outer doo/. It was n traveller on horseback, who askod leave to . rest for a little while.

While breakfasting he a^ked I many questions about tbo inn and its ownl ers?inquired whoso was tho horse that j attracted his attention so much ; and in short, ; acted so successfully that the poor girl, inno-r I cent of ail deceit, toid him of her late adven| lure, and ended by confessing she was all I alone. She instantly felt a vague sense of having committed sonic imprudence, for the stranger listened 10 her with singular ntten lion, ami seemed to take a greater interest than simple curiosity in what she was saying. The breakfast was prolonged to the utmost length. At last, after a few unimportant <pie*li?m.?, tlie traveller desired the servant girl to bring him a bottle of wine. lvrettel rose to obey; but on reaching the cellar, found that the stranger followed her, and turuinX'nrouiid, she saw the glitter of a pitol handle through his vest, ller presence of miik^tfuiled her not at this critical moment.
