The one w the blast approached the wagon, and was about to miss the sheet when Ernest, with his eyes gleaming dangerously, spoke to hint: - "Thio wagon is in the employ of the United (elates Government, and no one but a regularly, authorised official can mirth it The fellow, however, persisted; but as h laid his hand on the sheet a well di- r�oted blow front Ernest floored him. The one on the bank started to draw his revolver, but before he oould do so I kind him covered. One learns to be quick with the pistol on the treater, where a man's life may depend as his getting the drop' on sumo ruffian. The ferryman, terrified at the scene before nun, had remained quiet, but now, at a sign from Ernest, pushed the boat from the bank. Ernest, keeping the prostrate man covered with his pistol, spoke to the one left behind: '1 shall take your companion with or, as a hostage for your good conduct. If you eh•,ot after us, he suffers. Remem- ber.' We crossed the siver without accident, the baffled ruffian on the bank nuking the air resound with curses. When we reached the Texas side, Ernest turned to me: Frank, drive my waggon up the bank to where yours is, while I see this fellow back across the river. Beecher, take your skiff and row him over; he will hardly hurt you. If he tries, I will put a bullet thruug hitch." After seeing his captive into the skiff, first discharging all his weapons, 'he spoke to the now oowed man: "When you get to the other side, stand on the bank till the boat returns. If you attempt to get inti the hushes, or try any 'other treachery, I will shoot A FRONTICItsMAN. The suit autos just setting, at the close of a long hot day in June, when Ernest Black and myself drove our waggons up to the bon of Iced River, on the Indian territory side: We were hauling freight for the United Suttee Government, end were on .our way to Texas for a load. We 'Coddled the ferryman, living on the Texas side, and as Noon as he came over, began to cruse.

Jurt as the ferry boat neared the Chickasaw Nation side, a large, power- ful horse, but evidently nearly exhausted uame into vie* around :a bend in the road, with a double burden on Lis back. A young man of noble appearance, but looking very weary and harrasaed, rode in front; behind, a beautiful girl, nearly white, but with sufficient Indian blood showing through the clear skin to add a piquant charm to the features. They rode up to the waggon, and the young man without dismounting, spoke to Ernest: 'Sir, I am a white loan, and some Clays since had a quarrel with another, in which, unfortunately, he was acci- dentally. shut.. 1 am pursued by his brothers, who are close behind, and who have sworn to kill me un sight. I ask your help to cross the river, if possible, unseen." "Why do they—" began, Ernest, but the stranger cut him short. "Time presses, sir; you must answer yes or no. If not, I dislike to shed blood; but if I ant too closely pursued " And the gleaming of the blue eyes finished the sentence. Ernest took another look at the open, manly face, which, whatever might be written there, showed no trace of crime. Then he spoke, and fast, for the tramping of horses' feet, rapidly ap. j reaching, could now be heard. "I Suppose you wish Le take the lady with you f Get into the waggon and under the waggon ,beet, which you will find there hoose. I will hide your horse in the bushes. The young man disinounted, assisted of the girl who was riding behind him, and did es directed, cowering clown in the bottom of the wagun. After depositing the sheet so as to as if it had only been carelessly thrown in, Ernest led the horse a short distance frviii the road, and after faking off sad- dle and bridle, tumid him lose and' re- turned to his team. " 1 had witnessed the scene from the boat which by this time had reached the bank, and the waggon drove in.. Aftof giving tke.ferrymaa a aantiofl4o Silence, Ernest turned to me: "I may be helping a fugitive from justice to escape, but I will risk it. Loose the boat and put off, Beecher," he added, to the ferryman. At this moment, however, a pair of horses, covered with dust and sweat tame round the turn in the road, and their riders drew rein at the river side. They were two powerful, evil looking fellows, with belts stuck full of revolvers and a rifle across the pummel of each saddle. The elder looking one of the two ad- dressed Ernest: "Have you seen anything of a nein and a woman on one horse anywhere here? As he spoke, his eyes roamed to the wagon and the sheet in it, an6-d 'troth mel dismounted. "Why, what do you want of therm f' asked Ernest "He has killed a man in the Choctaw Nation, and is trying to get away, the wensan with him, and I want to arrest int. 1f you help him to get away it will be the won* for you. I believe he is under that sheet, anyhow. And he stepped en to the ferry boat The other remained ort the bank. with "Nut (Rush of an rlesident. 1 saw tete whole thing, and he .ha* swtnq for it," said a voice behind me. "I turned, sod there stood one of the other brothers, with levelled rill bear- ing directly on um.

"After sending some of their servants to bring in the body, they mounted me on a horse, tied ntY hen's behind me, and with one riding before the other behind, we set out.

Nut daring to mop is the India salmi. tory among the Chickasaw Nation, I rode straight fur the river, which I for- tuno.tely reached just in time to tweet you and baffle th.w. Our horse, good as he was, was nearly exhausted, and could not have carried us much further. Thanks to you, I hops we are safe now." The story was ended, and we were won asleep. In the morniug we took Herndon'aud ..int Lily to the railroad, where they took the train for Fort Smith. Wit received a letter hers. hire diet - weals. He stood his trial, came out clear, and married Mise Lily. The Wil- liams buys were soon afterwards both killed in a drunken frolic, eadiag in a fi4ht. "The first day's travel passed without in,ident. My captors were tacturn, saying nothing to me and but little to each other. At night they loused my hands sufficiently to let me eat, which. was a little more than I expected; but after supper my hands ani feet were securely chained, the chain carried around a tree and fastened with a pad- lock. The next morning our journey was resumed. "We had reached the Ria- matia Mountains, over which we were going by a bridle path—a wild, desolal and a fit place for a deed of crime. I began to fear, from the looks and words which passed from one to the ether, that I would never reach Fort Smith. It would be an easymatter to kill me, cast my body down into some one of ravines which we were constantly crossing, and invent Borne plausible excuse for my dis- eppearance. "As night came on they frequently stopped and held consultations with each other, casting the while glances of mingled hate and triumph upon me. It was easy enough to tell the meaning of t'u s; but even if had condescended to entreaties it would have been of no avail. Let my fate be what it might, I must meet it m silence. ,Many were the thoughts which passed through my mind on that hurried ride, but it is needless to dwell on them. "The night of the second day we c impifd on the edged of an old field. grewn over wick brown:masa. Theeame precautions 'ere taken as on the pre- vious night, and soon nay captors were wrapped in slumber. 1 knew that in all probability it was my last night on earth, any many conflicting emotion filled my mind, driving away sleep. But chiefly I thought of Lily, my prairie flower, left to the inercy of three rude men. "About midnight .my meditations were interrupter by a soft rustle behind me in the bushes; but before I ciuld speak or make a motion, a voice whose music I never expected to hear on earth again, said, 'Hush : and in a Moment Lily was beside me. Then with her arms around me, her lila close to nay ear, she told that she had overheard her brothers talk of killing ins etc the way, being Afraid to do so at home; had caught two of her owd horses (the best in the coun- try,, feud had followed wttli the hope of rescuing nae. "She had a key which she thought wo• ld open the padlock fastening the chain that held me. The padlock was one of the spring kind, with the kale, a simple slip at the bottom. The key is a plain, flat bar, with various indenta- tions in it to fit the ward of the lock, and simply pressing on it the lock flies open. "Lily tried the key, but it would not M.

'it might do,' she left re. for a murnest, ening into the old field. Then she returned, bringing a handful of brown grass with her.

Then she premed on all the midi, and the lock flew open— ers quietly that Not a link rattled. "Lily unwound the chain, and 1 was ens mom free. We parted for the horses, but unfortunately had gone but a feet when 1 stepped on.a dry stick. you." The ferryman put him across the river and returned, and Ernest came up the hank to where the wagons were. Mean- while had driven up the hill and reliev- ed the occupants of the wagon from their uncomfortable covering. They were nearly smothered, but,had made no movement till ill was safe. The young man jumped to theground, and with a simple grasp of the hand and the earnest words, "I thank you both," assisted his companion out. - Earnest now came up, and to hien the stranger turned : "I owe you my life, and if ever I can in some measure pay w groat a debt, trust me I shall not be wanting." "I am glad to have been of service to you," said Ernest, simply. "I think you are safe for the night. There- is no other ferry within about .twenty miles, and they will not cross any one after night. Red River is took high to swim over. If you remain with us to -night, we can make the lady a bed in the wagon, and the rest of us must take the ground. You can tell us, then, how you managed to get into this scrape." After some further discussion, it was arranged, and we went into camp. Sup- per over, and the horses staked off, the young lady retired to one of the wagons, while the rest of us, at songs little dis- tance, reclined on the blankets and sad- dles, guarded by our faithful dog. Nothing could come within *hundred yards of the camp without his giving us warning. Then the stranger, whose name was Henderson, gave ns an account of how he happened to come to the river in. inch a Plight : - "Some months since, I was in the Chickasaw Nation,buying up cattle, when I became acquainted with a Mr. Williams, who had married and settled among the Indians. I found it conve- nient to go very often to his house -- about cattle, I persuaded myself at first; bet I boob had to acknowledge that the ettmetion was his daughter Lily, the young lady who is with me. She is only an eigth Indian, well educated; and as to her beauty, you can see for your- selves. She soon began to look with favor on one, -and 1 asked her of her father. He was willing, and we wtre saRaged- "Bat there were three sons of the old man by a former marriage with a white woman, who hated me from the•atert. I think they had hoped to get possession of Lily's property, but knew that if 1 married her then would be little chance of that. Matters went on, however, 1 was ton happy to Mrs nisch for them, although they became more unbearable from day to day. They bore no good npetatio• in the country, and I was Warned against therm more than once. "Three days ago the explosion came. I was walking with Lily, when the youngest of the three met us, and after a few insulting words cooped gee of diebonarabte conduct "It was more than i could stand, and 1 sprang toward kiln to strike him. He attempted to draw a pistol. but I closed with hist and teed to take it sway. 1a the struggle the pistol west off, and he was shot dal, i mood for a moment, stunned with, horror, when Lily's voice roved me.

THE BEST REMEDY TOR Diseases of the Throat ed Lox In dhows of the 0 in safe reliable remedy is Weak - rabbi. A v s a's C&*,.*T Pacro&AL is such • remedy. It is a scientific combination of the medicinal princi- ples and curative virtues of the ..It drugs, chemically united, of such power as to insure the greatest possi- ble efficiency. and PECTOR' L. uniformity m sults. It strikes at the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of an age or either sex. Being very relatable, the youngest children take it readily. Ia ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Inffoeasa, Clergyman's Bore Throat, Asthma, Crow, ear Catarrh, the effects of ATER's CHERRY Pacrosiu are magical, and multitudes are annually preserved from serious ill- ness by its timely end faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every house- hold for the proteetIon it affords in sud- den attacks. In Whooping -cough and Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious. soothing, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try tome of the many mixtures or syrups. made of cheap aaf, ineffective ingredi- ents, now offered, which, as obey con- tain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, and are sore to disappoint the patient. Diseases of the 'throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment; and it is dangerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines. from the great liability that these diseases may, while so brined with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use ATta's CESIUM PterosaL, and you may confidently expect the best results. It is of acknowledged curative power, and is u cheap as ite careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Emi- nent physicians, knowing its composi- tion, prescribe' it. The test of half a century has proven its certainty to care all pulmonary conptaints not already beyond the reach of human aid.
