Treasures out upon the main, -

had himself provoked my coMMunica-
tiveness by a.serieS of searching ques-
tions upon every point of my personal
history, from the color of my grandfathe
el.'s hair to the amount of pocket -money
-allowed me at Rugby. Censequently,
there was perhaps a shade of acrimony
in my tone as I replied : 'I've done
what I could, but of course everybody
can't have as many adventures as you.'
Wal, -yu air about right thar,' re-
farned he, taking My words literally ;
I've seen a. few things in my time, I
reckon ; but, mark ye,. it's 'cari-e I've
looked about me, and fixed for doin'
somethin' wharever .1 went, 'stead o'

The real fervor of his tone as he tit-
tered the last sentence,- with all the air
of a good Man whose conscience has
just been relieved of some overwhelm -
in burden, cannot be. conveyed in
words.
I daresay 'yu'd hardly guess, now,
stranger, that I fust saw this re-volver

hina and me have cleared off. There's
eleven on 'ern altogethers and I reck-
on that's, a pretty tora'ble Stroke o'

Good Heavens 1 gasped, do yo
mean to tell me that you have murder-

No, stranger,' replied he slowly and
sententionsly : yu hey got into the
wrong ferry -boat in raakin' that air
statement. I mean to tell you -that
I've foundeit necessary, at different De-
ri-ods o' my life, to rub oift eleven hu-
man critters who mout othervise hey

Wal, jest this way : whenever • I
meet a man that I'm nomad to rub out
bime-by, the hammer o' this re-volver's
sure to gin, a sorter click—so--jest to
shew that he knows his 'dOoty 'srectin'

makes mistakes, be don't.'
The perfect air of con.viction with
which he said this was the reverse of
agreeable, and I Could t help reflect-
ing- : A pretty th'ng if this precious

time he ever seen this feller gin a
click.'
The cold clear tone of his -voice at
these last words, slightly tinged with
sorrow, was, such' as a con] assionate
judge might use pronouneing
tepee of death; and to me (guessing as
I did what was to come) it had a sound
indiscribably dreary and ominous, I
used to try and laugh myself out o' that
