However, ha tmu bled very littlo alMiut tho matter, a ho thought that they bad been overtakua by night and turned back. On return lug to the Lcdnxim bo fouud my uncle dozing, aud so uiado no mention of the uncanny pair in tlm barroom, and in a few minutes fell asleop also. "After ahort sleep undo awokit aud almoat started out of bed, having had a most vivid and frightful dream, in which he saw one ol thoso men advanc ing toward him with a dark lantern turned upon his faoa and a drawn knife in his band. Put, finding tlia room per fectly quiet, uncle persuaded biniaolf tliut bii dream wis the result of some (light apprehension he bad bad concern ing the two men, aud ao fell asleep again, but only to have tho horrible vi sion repeated. "He began to feel that the dream, so vivid and pnrsisteut, might have the nature of a preaeutiment, so put his bund under the pillow to mi that bis pistols which be carried were anfu. Put at everything continued perfectly till he allowed himself to full into a light duzo, which waa again Interrupt od by the same dream, like a midnight specter. "Now thoroughly alarmed and fool ing that his dream was sent as a warn ing, ho roused tho old gentleman by bis side and told him of it Mr. II. then told him of tho men iu the burroom This increasing their appruhenslon, tho (women decided to watch by turns, Mr. II. taking thu first watch.

"One glanco at his intended victims and his expression changed to innnzo mout and feur and be stood liko one paralyzed as ho mot my nude's steady and white luce, who, with pistol pre sented, waited but another inovo on the part of the villain to kill him on thu spot. Put tho iiihu didn't move. All was perfectly still, except for a smoth ered prayer from the old gentleman. Uncle was the first to speak, demand ing what ho wanted. No reply was given. Uncle then, threateningly ad vancing his pieco, ordered him to leave the room at once on pain of dcuth. In obedience to this the robber, without turning his face or changing bis atti tude in any way, backed as steadily from the room as he hud entered it and was seen no more." All bear to lliui.
