I f all t he men bad been as brave as they profess t<> be, we would have been successful. <)n reaching the forest, we divided into two parties, Wilhelm Ihirucr, b ailing one, and I the other. We were to reconuoiter, and meet at a certain place. For four days, wo saw only traces of i be robbers, and some of the men became impatient: bill one afternoon while bur party were concealed in a thicket, six mounted men passed, and from their con vcrsai ion, we lea riled, they ?were going to ineVt their chief. When tlu-y were out of sight, we ascended trees, whose dense foliage concealed us. Ai sun set they returned, and paused under the I roe, where 1 was. The chief told of visiting ditlereut places, in disguise, mingling with the peopb- and hearing their opinion of himself. He bad been in the pre seneeofthc King, unrecognized, and while there, he heard the arrange ments made, lb the transportation of nob I belonging to (be government. ?1 do not four the soldiers who will be-enl to protect it." he said, *we can whip them live, loom-.'

I wanted lo take I be chief alive. The ucxl morning I bad my rope in readi hess; Ihe roll bur came riding slowly irlong; with a steady aim, I threw it over his bead, and look* himotf his horse. 1 f one oft he men liad gOUU to him, until I came down from the tree, our success would have been emu jgg* .u WS EBg pletc. While [ w?8 descending, the noose must huve slipped, ho man ag ed tu whistle, und was answered. My comrades deserted me. I knew 1 would have to contend with the re maining robbers, and 1 eon Id not do so it lone. I though! of Christine, und for her snke, I retreated, but, not before I bud drawn the rope tighter around t he robber's throat, and given him :i gash across his cheek. I was pursued, and shot, the ball passing through the lleshofiny iirm. In my High;, I fell into n pit, rnd that saved my life. It was concealed by the thick undergrowth, and I heard the rubbers as they passed. 1 tied n handkerchief around my arm, ami then because insensible. When 1 re covered consciousness, I was loo wenk to rise. In the twilight, 1 heard steps above me, Iben :i sound on which wc had agreed,so that we could liml each other. 1 answered the signal, und Wilhelm called my name. When the men whodescrted me joined, the other party, they report ed me killed, but Wilhelm would not give me up so readily, he wanted the men to join him in sear* hing forme: when they refused, he came alone, ind wit h t he most tender care brought me to-i wood cutter's cabin, on tili' (Ige of the forest, where we remained two days, until he could getn man to take us in a wagon toSttlltgard.
