Tbs dlsenasiuo among tha members bad been luuf and aii ry, bat 1. wu ended at last, and Jim Docks n waa (till tba leader. "At 1 o'eluck tonight," fa aaJt to bis follower, "let aver? on of you be on baud at Tom ftalttocb'a. Sara and ! will keep watch of Culooel Mana ley's boom to maka sura ha doean't slip away. We'll go kjfjttlbor and wind op lb I basiupas in good bapa. " And with thia onftomtanding tba rig Uantas separated to their botuea to await tba deoiaiTa boor that bad been announced by their leader. CHAPTEB XXV. I found tba boroe of Colonel Vanalry better prepared for defense than would ba auNpected. Like moat southerners, be was fond of bontiDg, and in bia booas wera two Una riflea, a ibotgnn and a amall revolrer. The smaller riila and piHtul wera tba property of bia daughter, who waa an expert in their nm) a well aa horaewouian of onusuui mule skill. Tba revolver belonging to the oolonel Bad been taken by biin wben be rode off in qoext of ra-enforaeraenta, o that no cartridgea wera found of which I oould make nag. Hut bia rifle waa placed at my disposal, wbiia Miai Miuisley waa similarly armed. Our bnpa waa that if the vigilantea arrived before tha master of the booas wa oould atand them off nntil be came. The real atxeugtb of thia peculiar du feiise, aa it aeeuied to me, lay in tha personality of tba young woman, who waa well known and oniveraaly reapect ad. It waa bard to believe that a com pany of her neighbor would proceed to violenoa in which abe waa aare to be come involved, but when I intimated auch belief aba (hook her bead, and aiuoe aha knew them better than I her views were entitled to belief. Kraatua Drown waa our main reliance among tha surraut. lie ei pressed an engttrueae to join In tha dutmsa, but aince be refrained from doing o until after bia miatreaa announcement that be waa to oouUiie bia aervioea to watch man or aoout it cannot ba believed ba waa much diaappointed. The other meu, of whom there wera aeveral, were en Joined to aran tha country in every di rectiou and rvport promptly the disuov ery of auythiug sospioous. r-any in me alteration, when every thing appeared to ba quiet, Alias Maus ley and I ate a baaty lunch. We re mained In Hie parlor, moving from winilow to window, talking together in low touea and continually on the alert. Nothing oould be clearer to mo than our powerlueMueaa against a determined at- taok. If our assailants ahould oonflue their assault to the frout of the boose. where they would be in fair range, it la probable that wa oould have held tiiinu off indetiiiitely, but it waa too much to eipert them to butt their heada agniuHt a wall in that fashion. It waa aboat the middle of the after noon that Eraatos iirowu, who wai on the lookout at one of the upper win (lows, ruHhed down ataira in a atate of xf-.itmue.iit, with atartling news. "lJey're cominl" be gapped. "Dey'll be here in lew minuteal" "Whom do you mean?" asked Miss .Mausley, betraying leas exoitemcnt than myself. "Do biggermiiita, dat am gwine to tore do bones down I" "How many?" "Two hunUnMl and twenty-five; I couiiUmI 'einP Instead of replying to thia astound lug declaration, tba young woman ran up stairs. She bad hardly disappeared. wnm she uttered glad cry. "Father is returning!" she called. Almost Instantly she reappeared at the head of the ataira and hastened to my side, bur faoa aglow with delighted exollenient. "Is be alouef I naked. "He brings re-enforoeroenta. Isn't it grand?" "How many?" "Two snttiolent to repel 100." Evidently the daughter held a good opinion of her pareut a oourage. Never theleaa four determined men (for I in elude myself) constituted formidable force, to say nothing of the brave young Woman. A few minutes later the three borne meu dashed up aud leaped from their eauillea. Krastus waa on baud to take charge of their animals, and Esther opened the roratt to S' t out of a section which be saw would S'ion Uciuiu Vrj but to bold him. The sheri? priuiptly arrested tha young man and started for lha county eat, ad.xeu miles di.taul The sym pathy and rn; fi ll fur iter's father led the party to drno to bis bouo with a stau-rwul of tue farts and with a view of allowibg tha reut an opportunity of giving bail if be chute fur bia mux. l?ut Alujur lieytr bad become cmvincvd at last of bis worthK-aiKs aud rttcsed longer to' aiknowlede bira or have anything further to do with the scape graoa. "Take and do with biin what yon choose. I never wiah to look or bis face again," said the old Rowan, turn ing away. It may aa well be stated that tba sheriff conducted bis priwr to the county seat without difficulty, and there in doe time be waa pUotd upon trial to answer several charges, was con victed and sent to the penitentiary fur long term of years. And so it may be said at last that my d oo hie win U'lulie. "Mr. Ktnuiore," remarked Colonel Mine ley after the first flurry waa over, "I deeply regret that you should receive such su introduction to Mississippi, but if some of our people are lubospitable we intend to prove to you that others know bow to treat a gentleman. These boon are tn need of tue salutary lesson that awaits them. " "That was proved long since. It will always be. a cause of deep refrrct to me thai I sh'.ui I have brought this trouble upon you and" "Tut. tut, tutl KotMMif that!

Sure enough, lens than hulf an hour had puns- ed when, through the stillness, we heard whistle from Captain Warren. "Our friends are piomut, " remarked Colonel Manslry.
