By WALTE1 TERRY. In the whole worimnnity there was no man who better knew when and how to sell than did John Hugill, a close-fisted farmer, in the county of York, Ontario, Canada. $o it happened that one morning in June, `he set out for the city of Toronto, with a batch of carefully selected spring lambs, for which he shr✓wdey .realized much higher prices than could have been obtained for the same animals when full grown ; and when he returned at night fifteen golden sovereigns jingled merrily in his pocket—one of the man's peculiarities being to accept nothing but hard coin i i payment, for anything he had to sell. Winter or summer, desk or light, John's invariable habitwas to go to work, indoors or out, at four o'clock in the morning and come in to breakfast at seven. On the. morning next after the lambs were so profitably disposed of, he returned for the early meal ae usual, but before sitting down, he went into the little room where he always slept, alor---his _ faithful wife having died some year's ,? A moment afterward, -he rushed excitedly oat, and, addressina Maggie McFarlane, maid -of -all !Rork, and the only inmate of the small log - house beside himself and his only child, ten -year-old Bessie, gruffly asked, "Where have you put the cash, Maggie ?" "Dash ! What cash, Mr. Hugill?" quer- ied the girl. "Why, the buckskin bag of gold, woman —the fifteen sovereigns I brought home last night, and left under the pillow of my bed. " " Bless, me, man ! I've seen no gold nor bag. I just made up the bed a few min- utes ago, and there was nothing in it." " Do you moan to say that you did not move the gold girl ?" rejoined Hugill, turn- ing pale with anxiety. " I've told you already, sir, that I saw nothing of it. I know no more of your sovereigns than does this little beast,"point- ing to Bob, Bessie's pet 'coon, which sat on a bench, stroking its innocent -looking face with its paws. " You lie ! Woman, you lie !" thundered the now furious man. " You've stolen -the bag,.it , and hid away somewhere. As the insulting words were uttered, the girl staggered back as if from a blow, but, quickly recovering, walked with calm dig- nity across to where the frightened Bessie sat, and, taking the child in her arms, cried, " Oh, poor, motherless bairn, I must leave you ! Your father accuses me of stealing, and I will not bear such a charge. I'll go home to my mother, and stay until he finds out his mistake !" Bessie threw herself into the arms of her friend, and, bursting into tears, pitifully implored her to stay, while, to the harsh accuser, she said, "Father, tether, how can you do so ? You know that Maggie could not steal—my own dear, pretty Maggie !" But the poor gold -worshiper, groaning under his loss, would not listen even to his child, and angrily drove the suspected young woman from his door by a tbreat of immediate arrest. Then, while Bessie rocked her four -footed pet to and fro in her arms, and sobbed, " Oh, Bob, Bob, Maggie•s gone ! What shad. we de -without her, Bob?" John Hu- gi?i ea ew "etp to the table, and tried to eat ; but every {Mouthful seemed to choke him, and lee was not half through, when in strode the tall, gray Scotsman, Andrew McFar- hne, a laborer on the farm. " Mr. Hugill, what is all this I hear ?" be sternly said. "Do you dare to call my bairn a thief?" " It looks that way, Andrew," cooly re- plied the farmer. " I left the money in my bed, and no one but Maggie has entered cilia room since and the cash is gone. " Well, man, I'd advise you to take back your words, or I'll maybe give you a chance to prove them in open court." " I'll take back no words of mine," said Hugill. "Here's your own and your girl's wages up to date, and I'll trouble yon to move off my farm before night. Like father, like child. I daresay the stolen money will keep you till you get a new place." McFarlane turned on his heel to go, but, before doing so, impressively said, " If it were not for that motherless bairn there, I'd tan your hide ! But never fear, I'll leave your place long before night, and engage with decent Davie Bruce. I'll tell him the whole story myself, and I warn you that if you Lave the brass to make your false charge public, I'll prosecute you for slander, as sure's my names Andrew." Avaricious John Hugill, however, was altogether too pru3ent a man to do this, lacking iucontestibie proof, and a knowl- edge of the matter was confined to the peo- ple on the two farms, none of whom, except Hugill himself, believed Maggie guilty, so the girl suffered no loss of character or pop- ularity. Her remarkable beauty, sprightli- aess, and proficiency in dancing and singing, had long made her an especial favorite in the neighborhood, and nothing that miserly Hugill could do was likely to hurt her in public estimation. In order to make up for the loss of his gold, the miserable Ivan now worked harder than ever, and all through the ensuing hay- ing and harvest, drove his laborers so re- lentlessly that most of them left on the first cpportunity. Even to sweet little Bessie he was seldom at this ti.ne civil, and the lonely child, now ander the charge of a strange servant, in- cessantly prayed, in her artless way, that the missing honey might be found, for not even her father dared longer to assert, in her presence that Maggie had taken it. Meantime, oa the adjoining farm of David Bruce, stout Andrew and his little family dwelt in peace and comfort, though now and then, as the honest Scot thought of the foul accusation brought against his daughter, he felt strongly tempted to use language unbecoming to a member of the "auld kirk." And he, tqo, prayed in his own earnest Fashion that the real thief might be discov- ered—a consummation to be more devout- ly hoped for than expected, as, in the whole countryside there was not one indi- vidual to whops suspicion might reasonably attach. • Althotag a. everyone except her Iate em- ployer felt ernvi£ced of Maggie's innocence, I. was only natural that she should chafe and fret so long as even he regarded her as s criminal, Beside, she longed for the companionship of little Bessie, and used to Lie awake Light ager night, thinking until her pretty head ached, how to clear up the mystery ; but all her perplexing thought brought no solution. Throughout the summer months, Willie and A leek Bru e, boys of fourteen and fif- teen res elevely, and famous young hunt- ers ked tolled falebfufy in the fields ; but now that September, the first month with - an a r" in it has corse, they prepared to re- The stern old Scotchnran was holding a sume *tit old-time nightly 'coon hunts. lighted candle, but on hearing this astound - The yam$ feleews owned a dog, called ing revelation, he dropped it to the floor, Tiger, an a'imal al unknown pedigree and where it sputtered a moment and went out. of no pe..elecular %reed, but which; neverthe- Then, by the faint glimmer of the stars, less, was eelearaeo, . in the locality for the the boys saw him raise his eyes reverently tlingulee .'tachy and certainty with which to heaven, while he audibly murmured a - he would find and capture game, when_degs of far . higher pretensions were Utterly at fault. With this faithful companion, and a couple of axes, the boys would sally one of an evening along the creeks, over the stub:-: ole, oats, and cornfields, or perhaps through the diy swamps and wooded uplands, in- search of the cunning "ringtails," seldom, indeed, returning empty handed. Tiger -was a dog of rare gifts ; he made"no mistakes, and never got mixed up. He hada disiiinct- ive bay for each kind of game, -and if -his tongue said " deer," " wolf," "fox," or "coon " the special animal so indicated. was sure to be in front of him. Having once taken a trail, nothing could turn him aside until that particular quarry was run down or finally lest. The con- sequence was that the Bruce boys secured rmore game and furs than all their competi- tors together, and were always flush of rocket -money when other young Nimrods were " dead broke." One night, it was the ninth of September —I remember it well—the brothers set out shortly after dark to beat ng their own and Farmer Hugill's cornfield, and, w'hileyet on the home lot, old Tiger caught on the ground and killed two 'coons. Then he took up an evidently fresh scent, and went off, with his " treeing bark," in the direc- tion of Hugill's wood -pasture, only a few hundreds of yards from the farmer's house. About the middle of this half -cleared field there was, in wet seasons, a big pond and in the centre of the pond an immense swamp elm -tree, hollow as to its trunk, but yet in vigorous life, and with great, spread- ing branches reaching far out on every side Now, after the summer's drought, the pond was dry, and Tiger seemed to be making straight for it. " Well, Aleck," said Willie Bruce, " I guess the old dog's going to drive to the big elm this time, and if the 'coon don't run into the hollow, so's we can smoke him out, we'll have quite a job of chopping." " All right," replied Aleck. " I've got a spite against that tree, anyway, and would like no better fun then cutting it down. Following at their best speed the dog's lead, the boys, sure enough found him tearing away at the decayed wood inside the elm, and knowingthat now the 'coon had climbed the hollow shaft, they struck fire with flint, steel, and punk, kindled a smudge of rotten sticks and moss at the bottom, and prepared to smoke him out. But, somehow the thing didn't work this time ; and after keeping up the pungent fumes for a good half-hour in vain, the ex- perienced hunters concluded that their game had taken refuge in the cavity of some great lateral limb, to which the smoke, for lack of draught, perhaps, did tot pene- trate. . So, putting out the smudge, and building a huge outside fire to give light, they went gaily to work to fell the forest giant, find- ing the task not so very arduous, after all, as the shell of green wood surrounding the hollow, although of vast circumference, was less than five inches thick. Twenty minutes or so sufficed for the skilled axemen to cut through this, and the patriarch of a century's growth, with a pre- monitory shiver, slowly swayed to one side, bowing his mighty head, and, with swiftly accelerating momentum, came crashing to the earth. Boys and dog rushed to the widespreading top, and the unerring nose of the hound quickly pointed to one particularly large branch as the 'coon's hiding -place. On tap- ping, the limb, it proved to be hollow, though no orifice appeared on the surface ; so theboys cut itoffclosetothe parent stem, and then asked Tiger whether " Stripeface" was now in the cavity of the trunk, or in that of the bough ? The knowing brute's reply being unmis- takably in favor of the latter hypothesis, the hunters plugged up the big end and cut notches in the limb at intervals of about eighteen inches, shutting off each blank di- vision as they went along, until at last they came to the snug retreat of a whole 'coon colcny. One, two, three, four were drawn_ out and painlessly dispatched, and the bonanza was supposed to be exhausted.

The recreant Bob looked awfully ashamed of himself, and after being secured by a piece of string, lay down to watch further proceedings with curious interest. " Let's open the limb up, and see what kind of a nest the little rascals have made," proposed Willie. Nosooner said than done. The already - nicked slabs were split off, and the whole long chamber exposed to view and a sin- eularly-ffrrnished apartment it was. The searcbers threw out great handfuls of hair, wool, feathers, clam -shells, soft mosses and leaves, and were carefully ex- amining the bottom of the semi -circular trough, when they came upon surprising evidences of 'coon acquisitiveness in the shape of several spools of thread, a brass thimble, three horn buttons, two pewter spoons, a piece of broken mirror, some patches of red cotton, and, last of all, firm- ly wedged in a crack a little heavy buckskin bag. On bringing this to light, the boys simul- taneously yelled, " Hugill's lost money ! Hugill's lost money 1" And on their unty- ing the string, out rolled the fifteen untar- nished sovereigns ! • "Oh, Bob, you villain, what mischief you have done!" cried Aleck. " How will you ever make up for it ?" But Bob demurely stroked his face, and answered not a word. Staggering along under thair heavy load of dead game, and carrying also the sly thief, the jubilant youths now hurried home. It was nearly midnight when they rent h - ed their father's door, and everyone in the house was asleep ; but the tidings were too important to brook delay, and all were un- ceremoniousiyaroused to hear the wondrous tale. Then off to McFarlane's shanty sped the excited youngsters, and their thundering summons was quickly anwered by old An- drew in person. - " Eh, Heaven save us, 'addles ! What's all this ? " he exclaimed, on recognizing his untimely visitors. " Oh, Andrew, we've got the thief at last !" said Willie. " And the money, too !

"Bet you brew laddies, whaur's -the thief?" queried Mistress McFarlane, who still stuck to her broad Scotch. " Oh, he's tied up safe at our house. And who do you think it is Maggie ?" said Willie Bruce. "I cannot even guess, Willie," replied the delighted girl. " Why, Maggie, it's that little scamp Bob." "Bob—Bob ! What Bob?" asked she. " Why, Bob—Bessie's pet 'coon," ex- plained the boy. " He stole the bag that morning, before you went in to make the bed, I suppose, and carried it off to the big hollow elm ; and when we were hunting to- night we cut the tree down, and found him, Alt are entitled to the best that their and the money, too, in an old limb." money will buy, so every family should Maggie's cheeks were wet with joyous have, at once, a bottle of the best family tears, but she broke now into peals of merry remedy, Syrup of Figs, to cleanse the laughter, as she inquired, " Did you , find system when costive or bilious.

Then M. Tetard slapped the Parisian's face. He was ar- rested for assault, but was acquitted, and the wily Parisian had to pay the costs. Entitled to the Best. " Yes, lots of things—buttons, thimbles, and such like. " " Well, well the cunning, wee rogue! We often missed bits of odds and ends, but I blamed it all to the rats." Punctually at seven o'clock next morn- ing, John Hugill came to breakfast in very ill -humor, and grumbled to Bessie that somebody—her friends, the Bruce boys he supposed—had felled the big elm. " The tree was no good, " he added, " but the young rascals will have to cut it up and pile it out of the way, or pay for doing. it. " Bessie, who had been vainly hunting all the morning for Bob, prudently kept si- lence, and the two sat down to their meal. Presently, the child happening to glance through- the window, exclaimed, " Why,father, here comes Andrew McFarlane and his wife and Maggie•—yes, and Willie Bruce and Alec, too !" " Calming to beg off about the tree, I sup- pose," muttered her father. The next moment the little party entered the room, and Andrew, marching straight up to his former employer, laid the well -re- membered buckskin bag beside his plate, with the quiet remark, lour idol's found, Mr. Hugill." " What, what, what ?" cried the amazed man, as, with trembling hands, he emptied the shining coin on the table. " So the girl has confessed at last, eh?" McFarlane flushed an angry red, and seemed about to strike the speaker down, when Willie Bruce stepped forward, drew the real culprit from behind his back, placed him in Bessie's waiting arms, and said, '` This little fellow is the thief, Mr. Hugill." And the whole ,tory was then told. As the rising sun dispels the •gloom of night, so now the sight of his recovered treasure swept the cruel lines from Hugill's hard face, and, in a burst of magnanimity, The first is bodily health.
