I. had gone out partly for my health and partly to accommodate one who hud ever been a noble fHciul to me anil who had purchased a gnat deal of government land. At Logamport lie wo* taken tick, and after watching him a woeW in hopes that he would "soon recover, I found that lie had a settled fever, and as the physician said that lie would not probably be able to move under a So I obtained a good nurse, nniThavlhg seen that thy friend would have everything necessary to his comfort which money con id procure, I left him. As good fortune would have It, I : found a party of six men bound on the very route I was going, and I waited : one day for the sake of their company. At length we set out, with three pack horses to carry our luggage, and I soon found that I had lost nothing by waiting, far my companions were agree- • able and entertaining. They were go- - ing on to 8t Joseph's where they had , land already located and where they , hod mill* upon the river, intending to j get x>ut lumber during the remainder i of the season. , - On the third day from logons port, , , we reached Walton's settlement' oil the , Little River, having left the Wabash | on the morning AT that day. It was | on in the evening when wr reached the | little Ing built inn of the settlement, , and we were glad enough of the shelter, i for cm we had fairly got under shelter the rain commenced to foil in great , drops, anil thickly too. And more , still I had to be Uisnkfal for! My , horse began to show a lameness t» one i of liis hhid legs, and when I leaped , from the saddle I found that -bis-ribut | pained him much, as I coulcg tell from) , the manner In which vjic Jilted it froju , the ground. I nnlet mf the beetle/ to ho the with cold water ami went into | l the bouse, where we found a good substantial slipper and comfortable quar- , ters for the night— that is comfortable J for thai section and at that time. About ten o'clock, just after I hail . retired and was faRIng into a gmtrfai , dose, I was startled by the shouts of ^ men and tha lurking or dogs, directly under my window. " What is It?" I asked of the laudlord, who was in the entry way. " Ah— don't you know, stranger?" the host returned. " Ynu liave heard of Gustus Karl, perhaps?" Who in the West at that time had not heard ol him— the most reckless, ' daring and murderous robber that ever 1 , cursed a country. I .told the host that 1 I had heard of him often. "Well," he resumed, "the infernal ' villain was here this afteriwon, and , murdered and robbed a man just'up I. the river. We'vwybeen out alter him, n hut he's gin us the lslip. Wo trucked m he came out on thr"lunk, fired at us and killed one of our horses, and then drove into the woods. Wr set the dogs on Mm, but they hut him." " And you have come hack bootless, ' ' J I replied. "Yes," the landlord growled.— e "But, "he added with a know ing shake of the bend, "he cant run clear touch . The country is in arm* and

fto'll either leave tliese huntings, or be 1 dropped. " 1 " What sort of a man is he?" t " The very Inst man in the world < you would take for <Jus. Kari, He's 1 small— not a bit over five feet six— I witli light, curly hair, a smooth, whip! ' free, and not very stout. flat, Lord ye, he's quick as lightning and hia 1 eye's got fire iu it. lie dresses in all ' sort* uf shapes, but generally like a ' common hunter. Oho! he's the very ' devil, I do believe." ' After the tub-foil of whiskey and ' water which Uie host had provided ' was drank, the crowd began to ills- 1 and shortly afterwards I went 1 again to bed; and this time I slept ' on uninterrupted till morning. 1 1 had just catru breakfast and had ' gone nut to the front door, when a 1 horseman came dashing up to the ' door, horse and rider covered with mud. J It liad been raining marly all night. first thing the new comer did was I to inquire for uie. I answered at once ' the name and he then informed me « that Lyman Kemp could not live and that be wished to see me as soon as I possible'. i "PuorLynutu!" 1 murmured to my- I ■elf. "8o young— so helplesr—with I so many friend* and relatives iu his I home, oad taken down to die in i strange tandl" I told the man I I poarihk-. He" ale wrmr breakfast and ' ' TBcn resumed his journey, being bound i I I settled np luy bill, and then went ' for my horse, but a bitter dlaappointrncnt awaited me. I found the anir nud-s foot swollen very badly, and U • pqlned him so tliat he coold hardly step 1 1 on IL llad the read heea good, I • should have bSfn tempted to fry him, > hot I knew that in some place* tlin mud would be very deep. I went to . the boat and asked him if be could lestd \ His only spafo boras had hta shot the . night before by the WdaA robber. r There was not a borne in the place to be obtained far aay amount of money. , I returned to the stable and ' lad my ' hoere out, but he ronlil not walk with- " " Imokb," aid mine host, as I he-^ pntodsspcod. "q«'t ye manage .

have one of my canoes for just what it is worth, and you can sell it at Logaui- - port for just as rnnrb." ' for I saw it was a good one. "If ye dareutushoot the rapldl,"1 added my host, " je can easily sliouklrr » tlie canoe nod pack it round Han't 0 for.!' t I found the boat to be a well frsh- - ioned "dugout," large enough to hear 1 four men with ease, and I at oner paid • the owner his price— ton dollars- -and ' I gave directions about the treatment ■ of ray home and then put off. ' The ' current was quite rapid— 'say five miles I an hour- -hut not at all turbulent, and 1 far better than riding on horao-bock. • The. bonks of the river were thickly ' covered with large trees and I saw " game jdenty and more than oncu I was 1 tempted to fire the contents of my pistols at some of the boldest of the " var- [ minis," hat 1 hail no time to spare, so ■ I kept on. Only ope thine whui1 ing and that was a companion; but I , wus destined to Ami one soon enobgli. It was shortly after noon and I had 1 just eaten my dinner of bread and cold ■ meat, when I came to a place where • the river made an nbrubl bend to the ■ right, and a little farther on I came to I a broad basin where the current formed perfect whirlpool. I did not notice ' until my ennoe got into it and I ' found myself going round instead of ahead. I plied my wood paddle with , all my power <""1 ""'n sucooodcd. in ! shooting out from the rotary current, 1 in so doing I ran myself upon the 1 sandy shore,,. The effort had 1 fatigued me not a Utile, and as I found bark thus moored I resolved to rest few minutes. I had -been in this position some ten minutes when I was startled by heuf1 a foot-fall close by me, and on linkup I saw a man at the side of my not over two and thirty, nnd seemed to l i hunter. Ho wore a wolf-skiu r shirt, Icgglus of red leather and a bear- ' " Which way ye bofind, stranger?" 1 s-b-a' |q h pleasant tone. "Down the rivey to Lognnsport," I ' rvpUed pleasantly. "That's fortnuata, I wish to go there myself," the stranger resumed. 1 "What say you to my taking your ' second ' paddle and kseping yon comr panv?" " I should Uke It," I told himftankly. "I've been wanting company. ' ; "And I've l*een wanting some better mode of conveyance than these worn out legs through the deep forest." I " Come on," I said, and as I spoke leaped into the canoe, and having 1 deposited his rifle in the how he took . one of tlie pniblkx and told me tluit he was ready when I was. 8o we pushed , off and west soon dear of the whiri- , For an hour we conversed freely.

He said that he had a great sum of money about his person nnd , that was omi reason why he disliked to. , travel in the fore^ alone. travel in the fore^ alone.

Thus he opened his affairs to me and j I was fool enough to he equally frank, j admitted that I had some money and ,, told him my business; and bv a most j quiet aud iinpresntnlng' coarse of re- „ , mark, he drew from me the fact tliat I fi money enough to purcluuc forty . , • ' Finally the conversation lagged nnd t! , began to give njy enmponion a closer L l scrutiny. I sat in the shun of the ,, , canoe and he was about midships aud „ me. He waa not a iarge man, was he tall.

They were grey la color anfl , had the briUianry iff guttering In-. Their light was intense, but cold and , , glittering like a snake 'a Tlim I tliouht f . of Ids «ge. I set him down for not much c i ovcr_thlrty. I Suddenly- n sharp, cold shudder ran i i thruugh my frame and my heart leaped , witli a wild thrlU. As sure as fate— I t ■ It— there coald he no doalit— j i i had taken into my confidence (Iusti'm t i iht IMitr '! For a few , i moments, 1 feared my- emotions would f 1 me.

My pistols were both . handy and I knew they were In good - e order, for I had examined them both 1 . in the forenoon, whs*, ! thought of , a firing at some game.

I understood it well, -I er knew what the aly tone and the strange ' 't gleaming of the eye meant. He meant i tliat he would put me on the rood to I meet poor Kemp in the other world! ' u- I wondered only now that I had not I d detected tho robher when I first saw i id him, for the expression of Ms face was i so licartless. so icy-- "mid then his eye- i it hod such a wicked look— that Ilia most ic unpraetici-d physiognomist could not 1 x hare foiled to detect tho villain at I d once. . - ' ^ During llw rest of the afternoon we t conretscd some, but not so - freely as p y Is-forc.
