"I tell you I wont 1" "Wont? Do you-know who you nre tnlking to?" "Don't 1 ? Father! And a pretty one you are.- I have sold myself to the flames of hell already ior your cake, and I tell you I'm not going to stain my hands with blood." "Blood ! Bah ! Who wants you to?" "But you want me to entice him here bo that you can murder him, and I wont 1" and ? e speaker, a girl of twenty, coarse, and yet protty of fi ntures, of dark, waving hair and flashing oyes, turned hastily away. But the strong arm of the brutal man?one well known on the Red River as one of the most desperate? detained her, nnd his impious and burning words were breathed the *ten* ingly in her car. '?Look here, beauty ! It wont do for you to put on airs with me. You know me, and know nothing stops me, ho if you don't get that man here it will be worse fur you. He has gold, nnd I want it." "Rob him, then, who caros? But you don't make a tool of me to lure him to be murdered." "Mighty good you nre getting to b?*, ain't you." "1 cold myself to sin and shame. I became the mistress of a man I hated; hated as you do anything goo 1 or decent; that you might m?ko him pay smart money. Now 1 am-. Great (Jod, it is chough; to make nie mad when I think of it!" "Don't think of it then, you ft mi*/' mis the hrutul reply. "The man look my part?wih kind to me out 0 when itir unii..^* frct^'lo ??f the i-etth nu nt would have turned me lid lift at midnight iu an open b >nt, with tiid bund-, and without u chnncc for life; and. by Hraven, I will not bet it') I- m tviii it 1 die fur .i r ?'So yen li.ve h'.s hub) hu e, mi.-s.''

"That's none of your business, any how." "Ain't it? I'll teich, you judc! Either you do as 1 want you, or, by Heaven, I'll murder him first and then tie you to his carcass to rot! Do you hear?" "Better not tempt me too far ! I never did a good deed before in my liie?since you in the very days of my childhood traiued me to crime; and by the God above, I'll not be driveu ir jm it now 1" How strnuge hat she, a sin-sold one, should couplo with and enforce by an oath a deed upon which angels would look lovingly? Ah?when womanhood blisters und pollutes her lips by taking God's holy name in vain, how deep, damning, never to be repented of must be the depths into which she has fallen 1" Passing from the house, Dick Evarts, the outlaw, hastened to the bank, jumped into a boat, and pulled down the river. A short distance brought him to a cabin, where, secur ing bis boat, he entered, finding three rough men?outcasts, counterfeiters murderers, like himself?busily en gaged in the purely Western game of euchre. "Weil, Dick," was the salutation he received from one of tho number, "how about your daughter ?" "No daughter of mine 1 Bad as I am I could never bring myself to net so liko a devil to my own flesh and blood 1" "Well, don't get too pious. But about the gal?" 1 "She won't do it, that's all.'' ? k'Tbeo that game is played out I" "Not yet?the minx 1" "But she'll blow us," "If she gets a chance, which I'll take good she dou't.; One of you must wa'ch this young sprig she has "fallen in love with, and ril?what iu Satan's name is that ?" A ringing, cherry laugh burst up on their ems as tlmy sprang to the door, and saw the supposed daughter of Evarts paddling across the stream I in one boat?canoe, or "dug-out" rather?and towing nrother, thus completely cutting ofl all chance of then following. ' "Hal ha!" she shouted, "I'll be stool pigeon for you! Follow me if you can! Catch . me if you can I" and leaping to the opposite bank, made the s ender boats fast, and dis appeared iu tho woods. "By?! she's got us, and will peach !" shouted Kvarts. "I wish I had stuck a knife iu her heart!"and throwing aside his hunting shirt he leaped into the rapid stream and swam across, followed by the others, in the hope of yet overtaking the girl and stopping her mission. "Mr. Malcolm?Edward Malcolm 1" shouted the brave and almost exhaus ted girl, . as she burst into the room where the young man (Malcolm had hite'y wandered into the settlement, and had the reputation of being rich) sat, and then in breathless accents, related her story, not even sparing herself the shame of the proposal by which she was to entice him to de struction.' "To the boat, quick !" lie command ed, as soon as he comprehended her meaning. "It is too 'ate !" she replied. a?- she Miw her iii'her ami his en upuiiious Hearing (he h iiifltt. ' But, by Heave i I'll foil them yet! Dins I wish v m ' ? make believe you love me, ami are j going with me home, and I will save yoi ' It is your only chance for life." j Was she not simply acting :i pan iu or : r 'he better to betray him? lind nut her fear been assumed i i j ord> r to lure him more certainly into > the net? though bespoke not, yet his iyes rc vealed this, and throwing herself at his feet, she clasped his knees, and in the very agony of des pair, sobbed forth? "Strike me dead or tru<t me! Oh, God, that 1 should have earned this! Come, come nith me! My father is coming; nn instant pause will be fatal !. Come, for the love of Heaven, Come!" "I will trust you ! My blood be upon your soul if you prove false !" "Come!" she repeated, throwing open the door, and leading him fortli iu full sitrht and bearing of the men who were lurking in the hushes. "Come, Edward, father has gone away from home, nnd we will be all alone to-night." "But suppose he should come and catch me there ?" replied the man, assuming reluctance. "I took good caro he shouldn't. Sec I took both boats, I'll bring you back early?come." "Will you kiss me then?" "Yes!'' and she did so with rather more o'.' willingness than would have appeared proper in refined eyes, for, us it was, the outlaw was completely deceived, and followed them iu sil ence. But the cunning girl had agai.i secured both boats and so rendered his journey home a long oue, as the banks were almost impassabio. An hour alter midnight he and his accursed companions again crept to hia cabin. Peering within the window, he saw the girl and her lover lying sido by side on tho rude bed, deeply locked in slumber. With a fiendish smile he called his comrades' attention to the number of empty bottles on the table. "Both dead drunk," he whispered. "Spare tho girl, for sho proved true after all; but kill tho whelp liko any other wolf." Pulling the string of latch, which was the only fastening, he opened tho door, entered, aud was closely follow ed by the others. Knifo in hand, they crawled forward, nnd all to I gethcr struck at tho vary heart of [ their destined victim. , Could human life Burviv? an instant aftor blows struck by keen-edged steel in the hands of? strong and desperate men ? If so, the n Vain is bullet or Bahre ftroke. From ft darkeued cornor of the room camo the flash af pistols and the whizjiihg of death-freightcd-lcad. Bang, bang ! and two of the ruffians fell, trembling, gasping in dissolu tion. "Betrayed 1 She devil I" And tho outlaw Evarts fired fid I at her he called daughter, wheii the weapon of the man whom she had ventured all to save?for whose sake she had planned the figures upon tho couch? brought a third to the floor. "By ? 1 you shall not escape me. You first!" fairly screamed Evarts, as he sprang upon Malcolm, and Struck a full blow at his heart. Verily* bis life trembled in tho balauce, jbut ihe desperate girl threw herself before him she loved, and the steel, striking her shoulder, buried itself within the quivering flesh and snapped upon the bone, while the heavy butt of a pistol hurled the out law to the floor, for the time insen sible. Evarts, bound securely, was left be sidu bis dead comrades, while the brave, but now rapidly bleeding to death giij, was carried into a canoe, her wound staunched, ns well as poss ible, and soon taken to a place of safety. The next dtiy the old mnn perished mm rub-T?hung to ? limb of a tree, by moic", ihau a pviirv in hands \\h , with the; exeVplh n of the disfigured rhrpFe, left u it nice of their deed; wive that there was carved in littik plainly, though ' rudely, the singh- wonl 4 Regula\H I" Five years1 later a strong man st-? ? 1 by the hunks nf ihr same river. 1 thong i in the r-riiiir I'mits id*it little town; holding a woman by the haml, who would btivo he<Mi h autiful, save J??r the extreme sadu s.-* and pallor of her face.

He can't talk t.> you ten minutes without enforcing his point with a drop of one of his i.-V.per eyelids; he never ta'ces a letter out of the office without winking at one of the clerks; he winks when ho duus you, and gives you a sly oue when he pays a bill. When he moots und greets you on the street it is al ways with a significant closing of tho left eye, and when he has a stunning pieco of news to tell you his wink is one of the greatest import. The world movid along smoothly euough with Sanders until fast Friday. Up to that time he had gono winking and blinking along peacefully enough, and no clouds obscured his happiness; but a pall is hanging over Sanders now, and life has no charms for him. It's all his wife's fault, he says. Sho had no business sending him to a mi llinary store. Sho wanted a bow to match one on her hat, and she started Sanders off' to procure it. lie entered the Btore whistling, and when ono of the shop-girls approached and said "Good morning," lie winked and replied "Good morning." Ihe girl blushed and looked nervous; Sanders displayed the bow nud said : "Got anything to match that?" and winked again. The girl vanish ed to the back room with flam iug cheeks, leaving Sanders to stare after her in open mouthed wonder. In a minute or two tho boss milliucr, who had been informed of his actions, ap peared. She was highly indignant, and aa she slammea the door behind her she said, "Sir-." "Good morning, madame," said Sanders. "Fino day, ain't it now," and a wink was unconsciously slung at the lailv. She bridled up instant iy. "Sir, the conduct??." "Of that girl!" interrupted' Sanders. "Oh, that's all right; nevor mi ml her?little bashful, eh ?" Another tremendous wink. "I cannot permit such conduct, sir. It is shameful nnd insulting." "Not at all; not at all," says Sanders, still ofT the track. "Don't say another word, we understand each other." Another portentous wink. The milliner vanishes, slamming the buck door behind her, and Sanders sinks into a seat ejaculating]: "Well, I'll bo doggoned !" But he bounced up quick when a gentleman entered, and calling him "an old hip popotamus," proceeded to divest him self of his coat, and squaring off at Sanders, cried out: "Now, then, come on !" "Why, why, bless me, what does this mean ?" said Sanders. "Oh, yes, you're a nice one, you are. What kind of aplacodo you tako this for, coining around and insulting women and girls with your winks, umi? on r~ htiu nl^nrm^u Sunders, lie got one in on Sanders over the eye; Iiis left duke felt for Sanders'* ribs, while his right rattled around all over Sanders's mug, and when ho got through with Sanders, that indiv idunl was as badly demoral ized as a pig in a whirlwind, and ho never found out what it was all about until the milliner's husband, who had ascertained his habit, called on Sun day and apologized. Sanders shook hands, and said it was all right, and was just about to wink again, when he checked himself and said : '-Blamo it, I'll swear off from that habit!" and then ho turned and winked at the wall to enforce his oath. Adventures of a Dog. Mr John D Johnson, the lawyer, went down to Murdock Lake a week ago for the purpose of enjoying a few days in angling for black bass. He took with him a favorite setter, which lie had raised from a pup. Tho lake is iu Illinois, thirty miles south of the city, and tho usual route to it is over the Iren Mountain Railroad to Illinois Station; thenco by row-boat across the river, and thenco by wagon I to the club-house, a distauco of three miles. Arriving at the lake, Mr Johnson went out in a boat to fish, at seven oVock in the miming, tak ing his sottcr along for company. The dog proved troublesome in tho boat, and was put ashoro, and noth ing more thought nbout him. When Mr. Jonson returned to the club house late in the afternoon, he could not find his dog, although ho searched for him along tho lako shore, and mnde dilligcnt inquiry of everybody ho met. On his way homo, two days afterward, Mr Johnson learned at Illinois Station, that his dog was at Pevcly, five miles below, and sent n man after him, who brought him hack It seems that the dog, after being put ashore on tho west side of the lake, had joined a party of fishermen, and remained with them for a short time and then returned to tho place where he had left his master. Not finding him there, nor at the house, ho con cluded that the boss had gone home. Ho made a beo lino for tho river, and swimming across, took his position at the railroad station to wait for a train. Several trains passed, but ho did not like their looks, and made no attempt to board cither of thorn. At length the train that had brought him and his mastor from tho city came along, going southward, and tho dog joyfully jumped aboard. Ho was recognized by the conductor, who put him off at Pevcly, with directions to the agent to ship him to St. Louis. These facts are given as a remarka ble instance of canine sagacity. Tho only nustake the dog made was in starting in the wrong direction, but ho probably reasoned that the train would eventually take him to the city although in a round about way. A witty French journalist thus da scribes the difference between tho Serba and Turks. The former cut off the left ear of their prisoners, tho latter the right. A city missionary wan asked tho causoofhis poverty. "Principally," said he, with a twinkle in his eye, "because I have preached so much without notes" 'If you can't keep awake," said a parsou to one of bis hearers, 'when you arc drowsy, why don't you tako a pinch of snuff', 'the snuff' should bo put into the sermon' Tho new style trowsers for hoys has been invented in Boston Tho arti cles have a copper- seat, shoot-iron knees, riveted seams and wator proof pockets to hold broken eggs There is arcstauraut in Greenwich street, New York, which catera to 30,000 people, and cooks fifteen bar rels of eggs oach day.
