" J give this young man in charge,

"Surely," 1 fultetvil, "you do not

"These pretended robberies aro an old

Tho policeman took my arm, when
Mr. Lcnthcrwood resumed :
" I would not havo sent him to prison
till uftcr tho examination to-morrow.
Keep him safely till then, and I will
see to tho expense."
Thus, though held in close custody, I
was spared, for tho present, tho degra

Jal- t ,.

cital of my feelings till tho following
afternoon, when I was brought before a
magistrate.
Mr. Mustoll, who had been .ent for,
una Hin first witness called. His tcsti.
mony was full, nnd circumstantial, nnd
truo every word of it
"Call Mr. Mol.urp," said the State's
attorney.
I iitarted at tho name. So did Mr.
Mustoll, even moro than myself. Hut
imngino my amazement when from nn

"Uouworn, Mr. McLure," aid tho

I could restrain myself no longer.
Was my libeity to bo sworn away by

"That man," I oxclainrcd, " is onu of
tho villains who did tho deed!"
" Silence 1" shouted tho tipstaff.
Tlio witness, with perfect dolnt&s as
well as accuracy, narrated ovory fact iw

moro questions served to clear tho mat
ter up.
" What is your occupation, Mr. Me-

"That of a detective."
"Do you know ono Sharker 1"
" I do. I aricaied him last night"
" What is ho by profession 1"
" A counterfeiter."

Mr. Darrein"
"Yen: hcioitis."
The rcll of bills I had lost was pro
duced, every ono of which proved fcpu
rioiiH. Hero was another surpiise, but Mo
Luro was ready with tho explanation.
Mustell belongeel to tho naniu band thnt
Sharker did. Mel.uro wound himself
into tho hitter's conlldonce, and through
him secureil nn introduction to Mustoll
thu day I called to collect tho noto - at
which timo tlio hchemo was laid to pay
tho falso bills to me, and rob me of
them afterward to avoid discovery, an
enterprise; in which tho detective, for
reasons of his own, commuted to benr
Sharker company.
Thoicsultwas that Mustell and his

I returned to that of Mr. I.entherwood,
devoting my leisure- time, for a season
to n closo utility

An Interesting Meeting
A very veinarkablo and interesting

tho first elivision mado a roholuto effort
to drive Kick tlio enemy, but whilo ex
horting his trootw, was dangerously,
nnd as was thought mortally wounded.
Two of his men tried to carry him from
',ho field; but as thoy passeel through
tho storm of bullets, ono was killwl, and
Harlow maguamoniously said to tho
other: "You can do mo no gootl, my
bravo follow. 8a vo rourself if you can."

tho O. it C. railroad, ho loft his homo in
England. Ho is n merchant in boiiio
oldountry town, lives on a small pieco
of twelvo acres where Jio raises turnips,
etc, and practices a littlo amateur farm
ing for pleasure, nnd suddenly tho in
tontion to travel camo over him, nnd
this vnB how it camo about, ilis son
wits not disposed to follow tho business
and expressed a desiro to go to hoiiio
nnwor region and becomo nn agriculturalist-
Tho father thought if "tho boys"
wanted to emigrate ho would havo to
lo too. and bv sellina out his poseos-
sions and the good will of his busii.oss,
would havo "a good bit- ot money to
iiso elsewhere. So he suggested to his
wife that ho might ns well go to Amer
ica and look about him, with a view to
sehicling a location, and the thoughtful
spouso replied that she was ubout ready
to commrnco Spring house-cleaning, and
would bo glad to bo rid of him, and upon
thnt hint ho packed and went aboard
tho steamer for New York. I le had
been over to Trance and had visited Ira
land, but tlio journey to America looked
serious. Hut with him travel had been
a constant succession of delights, ho won
kindly treated everywhere, went first to
visit a cousin in Ohio who was nlreaely
n General ami famous politician.
After i.pcniling u fow dayH thero
ho went "down South" to hunt up a
friend who lived thoro ; then ho r.ig-stng-gcd
out to Kuntas to neo another friend,
and found lio wasn't ho very fur from
California, and when through visiting
nn old friend thero became inspired with
tho desiro to kou Oregon, nnd hero ho
was, passing through, overland, on his
roturn.
Wo certainly wish him a pleasant
journey back, nnd shall have our idea of
tho typical Englishman hencofoith.
Travel camo to this genial gentleman as
iv Hucecssion of dulitihts. and his sympa

by contact with his American brother.
There was certainly a touch of humor in
this leaving homo to visit and cross a
continent whilo tho wifo was undergo
ing tho Spring houso cleaning, and tho
traveler's eyes twinkled ns ho informed
us that ho had received a lottor from
homo that Mrs. Doboll had concluded to
meet him italf way on his return. Sho
was going to Liverpool, 120 miles from
home, to wait for his arrival, nnd that
was as much of on undertaking for her
ns was his escapado across an ocean nnd
a continent.
Mr. Dobell. tho traveler referred to,
is n cousin to Sielnoy Dobell, a writer of
