BRYAN BLONDAY;

The Blue Ranger of the Mohawk.

CHAPTER V.

* Curse his impudence !" cried Bryan, con- tinu’ng his way home. ‘ Did he suppose he could deceive me? Did he think me so base as to accept of a pension, to resign my claim and pretentions to the hand of Viola, fore sum of his base gold ?’

The young man was indignant.

Arr ved at the cottage, he seated himself epon the lawn. within the shelter 0° 8 lilac bush His mind was ‘ull of unpleasant thoughts, for, though brave to a fault, he dreaded the machinations of Hane.

‘ It is indeed high time.’ he said speaking his reflections; ‘that I had entered upon a esroer. IT fool that thie comparative idleness is unworthy of me. especially in such a time asthe Every roldier counts for hie country now, and beside that, fame may be had with proper eforts Ae for the gold that Hans worships, [ despise it.’

Whilet Bryan's mind was thus agitated, his rival was plunged in the intricacies of dark thoughts. Afier a long reflecton, he called Carl to his presence once more.

Carl came.

‘See Edward Fielding at once,” said Hans, ‘and imform him that I require his presence immediately.’

Carl bowed, and departed in search of Fielding

* If he continues to harbor this cur,’matter- ed Hans, * he must seek for a new home ?’

Fielding was easily found, and he had hast- ened to obey the summons of his new land lord

* Sit down,’ said Hans, when he entered hie presence. ‘I wish to coaverse with you about Bryan Blonday.’

Field ng knew that @ mutual dislike exist ed between Bryan and his landlord. and bis mind wag at once filled with forebodings. These fears seemed to assure him that some- was wrong

“1 will listen,’ he taid.

Hans felt that the enbject was a delicate one t approach. and be manifested some trepidition, Fielding observed it, and said : : ns hope you are not displeased with Bry- an!

‘Tam disnleased with him,’ replied Hans, and well | may be, for he 1s a headstrong and obstinate fool. I have made him offers this day, that would have turned the head o! any man in the settlement with joy, and he refused them in an insuliing manner !’

‘Indeed !’

‘Ic ia the truth’

And Hans enumerated and repeated his offers to Bryan

Fielding was thougtful.

*Now,’ said Hans, ‘I call upon yon to exact your influence with bim, and if need be. your authority ’

Fielding well knew that Bryan would never accept a Kings Commission ; and he knew also that his tastes and disposition were averse to mercantile life. Ile felt, therefore, that it would be idle for bim to interfere and he expressed as much to Hans.

* Then he is above yo: r authority 7’

‘i feel that he is, in this matter’

Then tura the ungrateful villian off at once !°

‘What! drive him from his home!’

‘Aye!

* That I will never do !*

‘Then I will drive you off. I am determin ed to take a bold stand for the king's interest; indeed, it is my duty todo so. This Bryan Blonday is, and ter a long time has been & mischievous and officious Whig. »nd bis pre sence is detrimental and dangerous to the peace of the settlement I am determined that be eha'l accept my offers, which are generous, or seek a new splere for the com wission of treason ?’

‘With me, said Fielding, firmly. ‘ you may dv as you please. I have long Seen a faithful servant of your unele’s, and would cheertully serve you. You may be certain, however, that I shal! never drive Bryan away under any circumstances’

‘Do not be hasty,’ cried Hans; ‘take time for reflection. You are «n old man, and this isa serious matter. Of this you may be aseured—gou ehall either compel Bryan to accept of my terme. turn him off. or surrender your situation and your cottage You may have three daye fur consideration.’

* As vou please,’ said Fielding in a sorrow- ful tone. * There is no need for reflection. I sm already determined. I confess it would be s hardehip for me to leave my house, for as you say, | amanold man. Yet for all, I will not turn Bryan Blonday away.’

‘Then you may consider youreelf diecharg ed from my employment. I am not to be trifled with !’

Fielding made no remonstrance, but left the room As he was closing the docr be- hind bim, Hans continued :

* You had betier he advised. This obstin acy is only encouraging Bryan in habits of idleness and disobedience.’

Fielding continued his retreat, and return- ed home with a heavy heart. On his road a f-w tears escaped him,

No souner had he entered his lovely cottage, than the kind hearted and anxious wife ob served his sadness. Bryan. also, was alarm- ed at his sorrowful and dejected look.

The laborer was instantly plied with ques- tions, touching the cause of bis unusual grief.

- Cause enough,’ he repeated. 1 is no light matter for one of my age and habits to he driven upon the world, to seek a new home, after my frame ie exhausted and my energies subdued.’

* What mean you ?° eagerly asked Bryan.

* Do explam yourself,’ said the wife.

*I mean what I say? I must leave the cottage !’

+ Who says that?’ asked Bryan.

‘Hans Van Kempen ’

«1 thonght.as much ; now tell the reasons,’

Fielding told all

Bryan huag down hie head, and was silent fora few moments. but he svon arose from his chair and seized his cap.

‘Where to?’ asked Fielding.

‘I will be back in & moment,’ he replied, and he leit the cottage and hastened towards the little inn

Luckily for Bryan's purpose, he found Peter Schnappe alone.

* Peter!’ said the excited youth, ‘I have come to solicit a favor.’

* And you could not bave come toa more willing friend ’

‘] would tarry with you a few days.’

‘Forever, if you like.’

B-yan turned to depart. Peter cried out:

* Why thie haste, Brvan Blonday? Explain yourself te me Tell me what ba occur-

’

Bryan felt that an explanation was due to his kind-hearted {riend, and be returned and told him all.

*D—n the villian!’ excleimed the inn- keeper, He deserves to be hung, drawn, and quartered !°

Brean returned to the eottage. He ap- proached the weeping matron, and eaid :

* Now. mother, arrange my little wardrobe.

{am ready to depart Sooner than permit harm to come to you, who have been so kind

‘to me, I will forfeit my life. In thie affair

Hane Van Kempen has proved too strong for me, and assailed-me in «tender point but by the God that made us, a dey of retribution will oume.”

*You shall not go, Bryan,’ interposed Fielding ‘I told the wretch that I would not drive you out, and | might have added, that I loved you as my own child.’

* Seek not to deter me,’ said Bryan, firmly, though a tear added unusual briiliency to hie black eye, ‘1 am resolved. You are atterly unable to buffet with the world, and in this region the iniluen e of Hans would prevent me from sustaining you. Jt is no grievance for me to depart, except the loss of your society, for I have been thinking of it for some time past. Let me go. this will deprive Hans of a pretence for persecution. Have no fear, for we shall meet again.’

Fielding could not restrain his tears, and his good wife sobbed on Bryan's shoulder.

It was a touching ecere.

‘ Why leave us now,’ asked Fielding.

‘There is no necessity for delay. Hans wil be the sooner pacified.’

* But you know not where to go."

‘Yes, I have frie-ds For a day or two Peter Schoappe bas kindly consented tu re ceive me.’

* Ah! Bryan, Bryan!’ sobbed the matron.

.*Do not go’ urged Fie'ding * What will my home be without you? For « long time you bave been its light and ite yy Do not leave it. Together we will hid defiance to Li ne Van Kempen, and the God of the poor man will sustain ue

Bryan was sensibly touched by this appeal For a moment be s-emed to hesitate, but it was only for a moment Hastily brushing away a descending tear trom hie cheek, be said:

‘It must not be. Your feelings have the mastery of your reason. It is better; far better, that [ should go, yet think not that I desire to leave you—shall ever forget you Get me my clothes, mother, for [ would de part ere you compl-tely unman me.’

It was plain enough that Bryan meant to depart, aud, indeed, & moments serious thought convinced both Fielding and his wife that it was betier for him to do so. Yet their hearts were beavy, for the youth was very dear to them.

Mrs. Fielding carefully packed up his little wardrobe. Then be bade them a warm and aff ctionate adieu, and with a swelling heart and tearful eyes, sougst the inn once more,

For a long time after his-departure his aged guardians wept in silence, and prayed for hie prosperity.

* May the dovil seige this Hans Van Kem- pen!’ exclaimed Peter Schnapps. who was yet alone in hie barroom when Bryan re turned. ‘Now we ehall bave a terrible time, | have du doubt.

* Lot him improve his hour Peter,” replied Bryan ‘ Let him exert his wuthori.y while he may—but mark me! @ time is coming when himself snail be the supplicant for our mercy.’

‘{ hope so. God knows I desire it,” repli- ed Peter. * But tell me why he * ould thus single you oust for his first vevim 7

‘For political reasons, andoubtedly,” re- plied Bryan, yet he biushed for the innocent faleehood.

‘Then we may all expect proscription.’

‘Certainly ’

Peer Schoapps was thoughtful,

Bryan was sid,

L'ans Van Kempen, intent upon the falfil- nent of his intentiona, kept an exect aveount of the time after his interview with Fielding When tho three days that had bsen allowed tor deliberation had expired, he again sent to Carl to request the luborer’s atteudaace at the Castle.

Fielding had partia ly recovered from the keenness of hig grief at the loss of Bryan's society when he received the summons, but in his beart a feeling of utter detestation for his landlord had taken deep root. As soon as he entered the audience room Hans was struck with the look of subdued melancholy that the old man’s countenance. wore

* Well, Fielding,’ he said, ‘the time to which you were limited respecting your de- termination a! out Bryan Blonday | as expired and I have sent for you to learn your final conclusions.’

‘ Bryan is not an inmate of my dwelling,’ said Ficlding, with difficulty controlling hie ewotions

Tve countenance of [ans brightened.

‘Then you have driven bim out? he ex- claimed.

‘I ecorn 8 falsehood, even to conciliat+ your favor,’ replied the laborer. ‘I did not drive him out.’

‘Then why did he leave? -

* That you might not persecute me for his sake.’

Hans withered under this reply. It was a stinging rebuke to his despicable meanness.

* Where has he gone ?’ he asked.

‘At present be tarries with his friend, Peter Schnapps. What his future intentions are I know not.’

* That will do,’ replied Hans hastily.

Fielding lett the audience-room.

*D—p this Peter Schnapps!’ exclaimed Hans. * Ele too, isa Whig, alihoagh he is cautious about expressing his sentiments What will itavail me if thie Bryan remains, in the settlement Undoubtedly, P»ter will shelter him, and be owns bis own domicile and is otherwise independeat. Peter Sch napps must be reached, as in fact must every W hig in the settlement I will not be thwart. ed, and Bryan Blonday shal! be exiled !’

The bitter malgnity of little minds often transcends our belief.

More plans must be laid. more plotting set on foot, i order to accomplish the Pat roon’s object.

The mind of Hans was fertile in mischief.

The morning following the visit of Fielding to the castle, was the Sabbath, and as usual, the whole settlement, and the few residents of the surroundiug country, were assembled at au early hour fur attendance upon the iorme of worship.

It wasa bright and glorious morning, one of those calm, soothing, balmy spring morn ings that hold forth euch ewees promises of the future summer, that firet disclosed the bursting bud, that first emite the fragrant perfume of renovated and resuscitated nature.

A t many people were astir, some to enjoy the brizht sunshine, eome for davotion- al purpuses, and some to listen to and gather up the goss p of the day.

Bryan Blonday sta:ted at an early hour for the little church, anzious to obtain a glimpse of Viola Fordham, wno wae a punc tual worshipper. He observed # great crowd aboat the entrance way, and as he ap proached nearer, he saw thet they were ex- amining something of en unueuil kind. When he arrived yet nearer to the scene, he was discovered, anda voice from the crowd exclaimed :

* Here comes = Blonday. He can read it tor us. ake room for Bryan Bionday.’

The youth was surprised. What could it mean ?

‘ Here, Bryan,’ exclaimed the voice, ‘ read

‘It is the will of your master,’
