Stephen first, and you after wards; and the poor animal dropped the moment you took your aim,—even before your piece went off. You know your aim, Heury. Is deadly.—much worse tbau your bullet.” "There Is no doubt who killed him,” said Henry, for Stephen was on that side of the hill, and I was a little be low him. and the buck ran right to Stephen, who, of course, gave him the first shot. But there was I. fath er, Just ready, if Stephen had missed, to bring old Velvet-Horns to the ground, before he could have leaped a rod.” “But, unluckily, Stephen's first shot kill'- ’ him?'’ “I don’t know that,” replied Henry. "Another person’s knife might have done the business; for the deer Jump ed down the banfc into the road, and there”— Mildred cast a sidelong look of caution at her brother, to warn him against alluding to a third person, whom it was not disoret to mention. "And there,” said Henry, taking the sign, “when I got up to him he was stone dead. I would almost think a deer couldn’t be shot dead so sud denly. But Stephen can pitch his lead, as he calls It. just where he likes.” “Well. It Isn’t fair to inquire who killed him,” said Lindsay. “One hunt er often turns the game to the other's rifle. And, at all events, your dogs, Henry, 1 dare say. did as much as ell her of you.” Hylas was just at his heels when he was shot.’ - replied Henry; “and a better dog there isn’t In Amherst, or Albermarle to boot.” Well, well!

But he is a loyal subject to his king.

We gen eralh forget it altogether. History s so lull of the glory of disloyal he foe • that the indiscriminate and per- verinc loyalty of brave men has com to be but little noticed.

W-y umy I thank the gods that they have given 1 'on the petticot instead of the sol , dier’s cloak, and placed you at the) cd of a* breakfast table instead of a regiment.” “I do not think, replied Milderd , -lulling, "thru 1 should altogether dis 1 r raro tlm cloak now, woman as I am, ; f the occasion required me to nut It on.” “Pray drop this subject, my dear •Mid; you know it makes mo sad.

Stephen mav not expect to he paid; no matter, it concerns your own character to he liberal.’’ “I have promised Stephen a new rifle,” replied Henry: “since they have elected him lieutenant of the Amherst Rangers he wants something better than his old deer gun.” “I positively forbid It.” Interrupted Lindsay hastily, returning towards the midte of the room from tho door through which he wa^about to de nari “What! would you purchase weapons for those clowns to enable them to shoot down his majesty’s liege subjects? to make war upon their rightful king, against his laws and throne? to threaten your life, your sister’s and mine, unless we bowed to this impious idol of demo cracy. which thev have set u”—this Washington?” “My dear dear father,” interposed Mildred as she came up to him and flung her arms about his nock. “Con sider Henry.

The unhappy association between this incident in the life of Mildred, and the current of a fe ling which had its foundation in a weal piece of superstition, to which 1 have alluded in a former chanter, gave to the idea of Mildred’s marriage with Butler a fatal complexion In Lindsay’s thoughts. “For what pur pose.” he asked himself, “but to avert this ill omend event could I have had such an extraordinary warning?” It had occur—to him that the surest method of protecting his family against this misfortune would be to throw Mildred into other associations, and encourage the growth of other attachments, such as might, be ex pected to grow up in her heart out of the kindness of new friendshipe. He had wen meditated removing her to England, but that plan became so repulsive to him when he found the mentio of it distasteful to his child ren and It suited so little his own fondness for the retirement he had already cultivated, that he hail aban doned it almost as soon as it occur to him. His next alternative was to favor—though he did so with no great zeal—the proposal lately made bv Tyrrel. He little knew the charac ter of the woman he had to deal with. v wer was more devotion enshrined in a woman’s heart than in Mildred’s. Never was more fixed and steady pur pose to encounter all hazards and hold cheap all dangers more deeply rooted In man’s or woman’s r sooFion. than j wjis Mildred's to cherish the love ami ( folio y the fortunes of Arthur Butler.
