butaher named 'Gonfrey, who i aon

plying the Pollards.it fi-esh moats.
Mr. Pollard. hadflived in his present
abode during several years.previous. to
his'matriaige;.and being of a verycour
ageous disposition, and having be'ome
accustomed to the loneliess oft'his
place of residence, he was not much af
fected thereby; but his' wife, Who had
ever been accustomed to living in a
populous town, and being withal. of a
very timid nature, and now lived in a
constant state of alarm pd dread; more
particularly whenever her husband paid
a visit to the neighboring town for such
necessaries as they required. And
whatstended to increase this feeling of
alarm to a still greater extent that part
of the country was at that time infested
by a band of lawless men, -who almost
nightly robbed and murde red some un
# unate traveller, or .brke into and
plundered some. lono farmhouse, nar
could the utmost vigilance of the author
ities succeed in detecting them. ..Of
these men she lived in daily dread, lest
they discovering that her husband was
possesed of a large sum of money-the
saving of former years-should seize an
opportunity when he was from home,
and murder her to obtain it.
She frequently pressed her husband
to give -up his 'situation, and remove to
some other place of abode, but he in
variably laughed at her fears! assuring
her that there was not the least danger,
as none but themselves were aware of
the fact of his possessing the money in
question. One day in December, he
received a letter informing him that his
father was lying at the point of death,
and who earnestly wished to see hin be
fore thit event took place. This letter
gave him great uneasincsi; for, apart
from the grief it occasioned at his fa
ther's situation, if he went he could not
-possibly return before the foll.)wing'day,
as bis parent's residence was more than
thirty miles distant, and his wife Wrould
be obliged to stay and take care of the
"gate." lie must go however-lw
could not refuse his father's d3 ing re
quest. When he .imnparted his intent
tion to his wife, she was seized with the
utmost terror, earnestly entreated him
to forego his iesolutioni; nor was it un-.
til after a long time, (luring which he
had used the most strenuous endear
ors to sooth her and to calm her fe~ars,
that he could venture to proceed eon his
journey.
It 'was Saturday morning when he
started, and one of the dreariest days
of the season. The snow lay thick oni
the ground, and still continiued to full
heavily, causing the face of the sur
rounding scene to look more wil and
lonely than ever. As Mrs. Pollard sat
in the stoall front apartmnrt of the
house, her fears gradually increased
more and more, as her imagination con
jured up a thousand dread forebodings
and almost fancied .that eaeh sound of
the wind whistling through the valley,
was some one even now about to break
into the place. Time sied, uhen at
length, as %3enftgey the butcelie, ap
proached, her tferror hiad attained 'to
such'a height that. , he determined to
Mkhim to stay, in the hipuso with her,
until her husbaisds return.

With, rany thauksMrs. Iollard av.
cepted his offer; for she. had~often heard
her husband speak of thO .courage and
sagacity of the animal in qiestion..,

he looked at his dog, and pointed with.
in the rOom With his fin gers,, "and see
that .you don't,.letany qn eome near."
Thelog, which was a very large one,
and of the bred4called lastiff.' an
swercd this .command of his mastor by
wagging his tail two or .thrco times,
and o1ing up into his face with an in
telligent expression; and the next mo
ment crouching down by the side of
Mrs, Pollard, stretched himself at :full
length on tho hearth, as though at.
home.
When the butcher shad departed,
Mrs. Pollard began to caress the dog,
and for a long- time endeavored to at
tract-his notice; but'in vain, he contin
und to lie mute and motiouless, as though
devoid of life. This ciroumstancebrais
ed her fears anew; for she began.to think
that if the dog. lay thus passive now, he
would do so if any one chauced to come
to the place. Again she renewed . her
caresses, and finally offered him a piece
of meat; but still with the saine success;
the. dog would neither appear to recog
nize her presence, nor would he touch
the meat.
Tho Toll-House consisted of two
roomis, with only one door of entrance,
and which was at the front. The back
apartment was used asi a bed-room, and
was lighted by a small window at the
foot of the bed. The front one had two
windows; a tolerably largeone near the~
door, anid a small lattice whose dliamondli~
shaped squarts of gluss were eneased
within thin. plates of lead. To none (of
the windowa .verer the~re -any nhutters,
uyith the exception of the onte in the bed
room.
At the usual time, Mrs. Pollard re-!
tired to rest, but in vain endhavored t(o
sheer.; the dog still remaniing in the
samne imumovable poIsition . as when his
master heft him.
The night was more chill and dren
ry than hadl been the dayv. 'The fal
ling of snow had given 12lace to a hien
vy storm of comnminigledl sleet r-nd main
which the wimid now blew nans:
the casement withi terrible force-al
most appearing as though it would raise
the hiousa frmu its veryv foundation. It
seemedl a fitting night fer deeds of blood!
4Irs. Pollard lay inbher bed tremblhin'r,
as her terror at each repititioni of the
keen blast increased. 8tories, of :rab
bery andl bloodshed, which shes had
heard years agor now rushed through
fler mind with. vivid distiprtpees; and
her itnagination .increased their enormi
ta thousand fold.
She lay thus unable to. sleep, -ntil,
as near, as 81he could guess, about mid
night, when she thoughtsh .h1 eard the
sound of a singh footstep outside the
pouse. She piarasly., raised 'ber-self,
and bending forward, listened for a con'
