WARTED AT THE GROSS ROADS,

1 was in a hurry to reach home. der, for it was the

No won- wildst night [| had

jever known in all my life, and the country |

road over which | took my way as bad and as Cunse- quently | was walking at a great rate, with the collar of a rough cat over my ears, and a comforter tied over my soft bat and ucder my chin, to keep it on and 80 protect

pary eara, when, sudtently a man stood full

intuy path and caught me by the arm.

‘}lullo,’ said be. * You're just in time ; you are wanted at the Cross-roads to-night.

The voice was the yoics of a ruffian.

I fancied myself attacked by a highway- man. I stood quite still, and strove to show him ‘by my manner that 1 was able to pro- tect myself,

‘What the deuce am [ wanted at the Cross-roads for?’ said I. * Unlese I choose it would be hard to get me there.

manding my money or my life, the man an- ewered in altered tone:

‘ Beg pardon, I made a mistake. I thought it was my brother, and I wanted to frighten him. Bad night, sir.’

‘Very,’ said L.

‘You don’t know the time ?’ he asked.

‘It was seven when | Jeft the train at L——,’ | said.

‘Thank ye,’ said the man. Good night.’

df his object had been robbery, probably he had decided from my rough mofilers that a tco poor a man to be worth the trou-

e.

* But alter all,’ I said, ‘ probably be spoke the trath. A man may have such a voice without being a highwayman, no doubt.’

So I went on homeward, and soon found myself under shelter, and partaking of a warm and savory supper.

My mother was there,*and my brother Ben. Ben wasa great strapping fellow, who could beat any other youth of his age for miles round if it came to wrestling or box- ing, and as good-humored u boy as ever lived —a boy always to mother; and I think he had exercised his right to vote in one elec- tion.

When supper was over, and we had chat- ted tor an hour, we went up stairs together.

We shared one room.

The moment Ben's head touched the pillow he always went to sleep. Tuat night 1 foi- luwed his example.

But | did not sleep long without a dream

West ludies, every alternate Mouday and Wedunes Miting dream in which d felt a rough erip on

my arm, and was roused by a voice crying in may ear.

‘Wakeup. You're wanted at the Crose- roads *

It was so real, 80 palpable, that when | started broad awake | actually believed that jsome one was in the room—the man who hud met me on the road, perhaps, and who inter ded robbery or violence. But when | had arisen and lit a lamp, the room was empty, except myself and Ben lying enor- ing on his pillow.

UNDINE ,from

i}GOW ; and other arrivals, the greater part of |

| went to the door: it was locked. I went |to the window: the rush of rain against the panes was all | heard. 1 even went across the passage to my mother’s room. She was ‘awake. There bad been no unusual sound, jshe was sure,

Ouly a dream born by meeting with the strange man upon the road, I felt sure, had jawakened me.

| went to bed and fell asleep again Agaiu | was awakened by the same words ; thie time shricked in my ear by an unearth- ly voice,

‘Wake up, wake up, wake up. You are

wanted at the Cross-roads.’

] was on my feet once more, and caught Ben's hand as he came toward my bed. | * What ails you?’ be cried | ‘* Nothing,’ said I. * Did you hear a voice. s ‘Yours,’ suid Ben, * yelling wake up.’ Be lairly frightened me.’ |

{ i |

* Ben, sai 1, wait until I light the lamp. I heard another voiee. There must be some one in the house or outside,’

So we lit the lamp and searched in vain. | Nightmare,’ said Ben, when I told bim | my evory. | * Ben,’ said 1, * what is there at the Cross- roads?’

*A house,’ said Ben.

| He had lived in the neighborhood a leng | while, and I not long. ‘One Jittle house, besides two oak-trees and a fence An old man lives there—a rich old tellow, and a bit of a miser, they say. Lis grand-daughter keeps house for bin.’

‘ Ben,’ said I, ‘ that fellow may have meant harm to them. I may be wanted at the Cross Roads ’

‘Brother,’ said Ben, ‘go toeleep. You had a nightmare.’

And Ben plunged in between the blanket land was soon snoring again.

I also in ten minutes slept as soundly as before; but the awakening came again.

| at the foot of my bed—a girl im white robes | with golden bair all about her shoulders, who | wrong her bands and eried :

‘Ob wake up, Wake up; you are wanted at the Croea-roads -

This time I starced out of bed bathed in a cold perspiration. J treubled like a leat. /t had no doubt thatd had received super- ;Datural warning.

‘ Ben,’ I eried, * Ben, for the third time | have been told that lam wanted at the Crese-roads, and J aw going.’

And | began to dress myself as epeedily as | poesible, listening the while to. the storm | raging madder and wilder than at any period | Since Its Commencement.

Ben remonstrated with me im vain, At | last be also began to huddle on his clothes,

| If you have gone mad, / must go with you and take care of you,’ be said. * But fancy another man going out in a storm like this to the Cross+ruads because a nightmare advised him todo 60, and what would yon think of him ?’

Isaidnothing. All J could have answerec | would have been:

‘1am compelied togo. I must go. | dare not refuse, whatever may be thought of me. In ten minutes we were splashing through 'mud aod rain alung the road. | It was perfeetly dark; now and then a = star in the distance told us that a lamp |

was gleaming through the rain in some cottage window, but otherwise we would }not have been conseious of our proximity ‘to any hubitation whatever.

{[ NO.W senerneatereneetane ed | At last nearing the spot where the road ifrom S crossed the road to P——, we | Were indeed in as solitary a place as could be well imagmed. | The house which abated on the very angle of the roads.called in the familiar parlance the | Crosa roads, was the only one for some dis~ tance in either direction and certainty on such a night we were not likely to meet with many | travellers. | All was silent as the grave. We stuod }quite still. Inamoment Boa broke out im one of the merriest laugha.

‘Well.’ he sand, ‘how now? Will you /go home and have another niyhtmare ?’ | But hardly bad the words escaped his | Jipss when ashriek broke on the air, anda “Woman's voice #lamly coming from the in- | terior of the cottage cried :

*Lielp, help, help!’

‘Ben,’ said [,* we were wanted at the Cross-roada.’

And then, each understanding the other without more words we wade our way to « window throagh which @ light shone. A musiin curtain draped the panes but through it we saw an awful sight.

An old man lay on the floor, and over | him bent a roffian clutching his throat, and holding a pistol to his ear, while another /man grasped a shrieking girl by the arm— agirl ina floating night dreas—with such long golden ban as belonged to the woman of my vision.

Not a moment was to be wasted. | Ben Rung bis weight against the slender _luttece and crughed it in, and we had grap- | pled with the ruffians before they knew /whence the attack came or how many foos were upon them.

I do not intend to describe the struggle ; _indeec I could notif I would. But we were ) both strong men, and inspired by the cries _of the helpless old wan and the terrified girl, svon had one of the villains bound and the | other lying dors de combat.

Then Ben started ior assistance, and be- fore morning both were confined in jail, Bea admitting, as we shook euch other by the na that we were * waned at the Cross oO. ~

The old man was not a miser, but be had saved some few thousands for his old age and diving more plainly than he need have done, had given rise to the romor and so brought the burglars to the Cruss-roads in the hope of a booty.

The girl, a beautiful creature of seventeen was his grand-daughter ; and 80 no story is acceptable to the lady reader without a flavor of romance, [ will tell them that she became in after years, not my wile, as the vision Seems to indicate but the wife of my darling brother Ben.

SUPREME COURT. | Continued.

Firrn Day, Monday, July 13.

Rowan Firzceratp, sworn—examined by Mr. C. Palmer :

I am a law-student in the office of Mr. Hodgson, the plaintiff. Have been 4 yeare in his office. Never heard what passed on matters of business. The conversation on such subjects was conducted in low tones. No student was expected to hear it. Onee, when old Mr. Dawson came into the office, I heard him ask the bookkeeper for a list of notes. I understood him to mean a list uf the notes which had been lett by his son, W. B. Dawson. He said he wanted to have a memorandum of the notes he had endorsed. He came in two or three times for it. Ht was made out. The impression upon mind is that he got it. There was no objection made to giving it to him. I think it was about two years ago this summer. The reason he gave for wanting it was that he wished to know how many notes he had en- dorsed.
