Selected Storp. . es THE DROVER’S STORY.

Many years ago, before the era of railroads, and when the highwaymen abounded along the great route (from Calais to Paris, a noted drover, who had been to Boulogne with a large drove of horses, which he had seid for cash, was overtaken. by. night on: his return, near Marquise. He remember- ed that a little distance abead was @ quiet inn he had never stopped at, and he determined to spend:the might there.

As he rode up. to the ‘house, the land- lord, a respectable looking person, Tre- ceived his horse and I¢ad him away to the stable, while ‘he invited the drover to enter the public sitting-room.

Uere he found two young men, one of whom, from his resemblance to the landlord, he recognized as his son; the other, somewhat older, from his man- ners, appeared also to belong, to, the family. lhmmediately after supper (dar- ine Which the-drover stated where he had been and what good luck he had| met with), the son mounted a horse, | and stating thavhe was going.to; Mar- guise to stay~al night, rode off. ~The drever; having looked after the comfort of his horse, soon after requested’ the landlord to show him te his reom.

As the traveller slipped off his gar- ménts, he felt for thio leathern belt abdtt his waist, to see that it was se- eure. This contained his gold, while his paper money. was in a large wallet, carried in a pocket made for the pur- pose, in the inside of his vest. De- positing these articles beneath his pil- low, he extinguished the light and threw himself upon the bed, when, overcome Lyewveariness, he soon fell asleep.

How lone he had been in this state of forgetfulness he could not tell, when he was aroused to wakefulness by the sound of some person endeavoring to open the window near the head of his bed, At the same time he heard sup- pressed voices. without, as of several persons in whispered consultation.

Startled by this suspicious appearance of things, the drover reached \toward theeehair on which he had thrown his clethes, for his weapons; but, to his dismay, he remembered that on his ar- rival, when preparing to. wash off the dust of his journey, he had laid them aside, within the bar, and had neglected to'resume them.

Scarcely conscious of what he was do ing, the defenceless drover slipped from the foot of the bed, and hid himself in the darkness behind a lot of women’s dresses suspended from the wall, and watched the motions of a man who was now slowly and cautiously entering the room. He even fancied he could de- tect the refiections of the dim light upon an upraised isnife as the man approach- ed the bed with staggering and uncer- tain steps. But great was_his relier when, instead of an attempt at murder, the intruder carelessly shuffled off his clothes, and throwing himself’ into the bed.he had just vacated, was soon in a sound sleep.

Not knowing what to mako of this strange affair, the drover determined to dress himself, call up the landlord, and have this singular intrusion explained. he had reached his clothes, and slipped on his trousers, and was moving toward the.door, when steps were heard c¢au- tiously crossing the outer room. -Once mofé*he sought the shelter of the dress- es, Which completely screened his per- son, and awaited the entrance of«the persons, whoever they might be. Pre-| sently the door of the room was silently opened, and..two men made their pearanec. the*dfoyer could) readily distinguish them.to be the innkeeper and the man he had seen at the supper-table.

‘Step lightly, I tell you,’ whispered the ‘fandlord, ‘ or you'll wake. him up, and then we'll: have a pretty mess on hands,’

‘Nonsence ! replied the other, with an gath. ‘Scared!’ repeated the first speaker. *No-man over told Jean Garnier before he Was scared ! Here give me.the knife! I'll show you who is scared! You se-j cure the money—it’s under the pillow —Isaw him put it’there, and I'll do the rest.’

The old man was in advance, and as he stood between the window and the drover, the latter could see his form bent over the bed, while. his hand seemed to be sear¢hing beneath the pillow.

‘Here, Henri~take it. Here’s the

wallet, and here's the belt. How heayys,

it is !'-+and he passed the money to hi companion before the other had yet reached the bedHdé. IO 4 =

The old man.then put his hand to his bosom, and the trembling drover saw him dyaw forth the long blade the other had given him. For an. instant the murderous weapon was poised.over his head, and then descended upon the per-
