woods of Canada. It was in the
year that we settled in our little log
.bouse in the township of D .
e.
Ours .was the only clearing for over
a raile,on either Side; and the road
,to my-hrother'S was merely a blazecl.
patch through the thick pine- forest.
• Soon after we came, my husband let

Burke by name. The family con-
•. Meted of SSVe11 brothers ;:a wild,
fierce looking set of men they were,
• with the exceptionof the two young-
est—Mike and 'John. Ulick, who
was the oldest. of the lot,, wae a re-
markable looking man, with just
the sort of face I have seen in pic-
tures of Italian brigands. His
features, strictly 'speaking, were
handsome: But his expression was
villainous. He was . an awful
tyrant to his brothers, that is, to ell •
but the one next in age to himself.
'On Pat he lavished' all the 'fierce
love of his natere, and a word- front
him would have the effect 'of calm-
ing down Ulick's wildest gusts of
passicn which, on the slightest pro-
vocation, broke 'out and . vented
themselves on anything or anybody
,
that came in his way.
Often -when he came over .Of sin
evening to sit with Isabella, my
servant, with whom he was no favor-
ite, would he question herebout our
affaiis ;I -whether we kept much ready
money in the house, and 'where we
stored the silver plate, which he one.
• day caught sight of when she was
cleaning it. It was her opinion
that he was a desperate character,
and that he was an ()Scatted convict.
For my'own, part I always felt an
instinctive dread Of the hold stare
he never failed to bestow on the, if
by any- chance I entered the kitchen
while he, was in it, whieh I did as
seldom as possible it I knew he was
there. •
• Once he.sent a menage _to the ef-
fect that he was ill and would like
me to go over and lead to him.
Feeling sorry for hie ,sufferinas I
• immediately made a little custard
for his dinner, and was just cross-
ing the garden on my way to the
shanty, which stood at the foot of it,
when I met Isablla, who had been
• out' eerryine•a a lunch to my husband.
I mentioned to her my. errand. No
sooner did shes hear it than. she
• said,—W'aiS •
-ti
tll the master comes in,
Mem, or let me take the custard
t, over myself."
"Bat,:jsabeila, the peor man
*fishes me to read todilin. e Ile -sent
word by Mike that he was all alone;
the men are busy in the fallow."
0 "All the mora reason for you to
stay at home. I knew that man
better than you -do ; the chalices are
• that he is not sick- at .all ; 'tis only
• . an excuse to get you over there jets. t
to frighten you, for he knows right
well that you dislike him; and I can
see by the way he looks at you that
he hates_ you. for .it, end would Aire
dearly to play some trick on you."
Of course 1 gave up all idea Of
going after,hearing this, and from
that hour my .dread of Illicit Burke
increased greatly. I looked forward
anxiously to the time when our fal-
low would be chopped, -and the
• shanty rid of its rough inmates.
• It was ,in the early- .part of the
moath of February that business of
importanse obliged my husband to
take a journey to C—a town
• some miles from home, and in -those
• days it was a journey which involv-
ed both fatigue and delay. In the
• house we had no mae-servant, not.
even a boy, so that -Isabella was my
only protection in my- lonely dwell-
• ing in the wilderness/ `My brother's
house, as I before mentioned,- was
• over a. mile eway, and John's depart-
ure was so suddee that he had no
time to let him know about it.
:All day after I parted with, my
dear husband I felt oppressed with
a vague sense of comities. danger,
which rather increased thIn

ish
ed as the night closed in. 'Often
through the day I cast a longing lookpo
at the dark pine woods Which belt- yo
ed us in like a great black mall, and lo
felt sorry that I had not -ventured I
