e'n'iiad seemed as tho,igh she
dould have escaped, but as the in
truder stood in the entrance of the
rock. As soon as his astonishment
had a little abated he addrei;sed her
in these words:
"I fear madam, I have rud 4y dis
turbed your reverie, but I cm assure
you it was purely accidental: having
observed the fruit on this vino I was
induced through thirst to tast o them;
and then by curiosity to eiter the
fisstro in the rock; but I hopo you
will readily excuse the disturbanco I
have gived you."
Shi readily excused his iurusiuu,
saying he had not disturbed her in
the leasts, saying which she woul(d
have departed, but the stranger do
clared that if she departed he should
be convinced lie had disturbid hor,
andl he never should forgive himself
for the disturbance; upon which the
lady seated herself upon the same
rude seat, whilo t lie stanger ( for such
he was to her) seated himsolf on a
loose stone which lay at tho entrance
of the fissure. The thoughts which
engaged his at tvintion-thoughts of
his disturbed country, his forsaken
home, his affectionato mothor, woro
forgotton. lie sat, musing upon the
fair creaturo bofore himi, without
aught save a groan escapin1g from
his lips. They sat somic time with
out speaking, when she, finding the
silence insu pportable, was just goingi
to arise to dIepart, wvbon a pa roquet
p)erched upon a b)ough at short dis

"bead to bocar," when lie touched the
trigger, she wvontoff, a sudden revor

rocks ensued, a slight shriek oscapodu
from the lady, whlen the bird, wvhicla
had occasioned the report, suddenily
fell fromu the bough. After begging

up with him. He offered her hi
arm, which she took for politenes
than from ainy seeming occasion froi
fatigue. Hereupon lie offered h(
the hi rd, wvhich lie still held, as
reward for the fright the rep)ort c
the gun had occaisioned. She at
ented the proffered gift, but insisto
on knowing the name of the donor.
Jam. hesitated a inoment, then In a
low voice replied, Jas. Clarke, upon
the hearing of which, a deep scarlet,
i covered the face of the maiden, Jus.
noticed it, but was at a loss to ic
count for it on any other than nativo
bashfulness. The truth was she had
often heard of the name as
connected with - those of the
"traitorous crow" who gave such an
noyance to the English and Tories in
Carolina, and a being one of those
dauntless few who wero not afraid
to assort their right to liberty,
though a tyrant had declared that
the'baro assertion was treason. Ero
they reached the cot (for Fo I shall
call it) Jias. reqnested her to recipro

Upon the request she hung her head,
remiained silent for sonic time.
Then raising her eyes, with looks of
I li softest compassion, whilo a deeper

pliod:

continue I will one day discloso my
