Un der pretext of call from home for a day or two, lie placed the money in the k of Ins wife, vv horn he ( barged to tkc i><wul care ; of it. Lite in the evening of the day on which he . left home, a stranger of genteel appearance railed at the house, and asked permission to remain over night. Hi-likuig to entertain a slrunger during herhu-band*absence,the wife ; of the sheriff denied the request, and the strun g. r rode on. Directly after Ins departure, however, the lady came to the conclusion that ‘ she had douc wrung tit refusing to take him in, 1 and sent a servant to recall hint. The gentle- 1 limit returned, and soon after retired to rest, i Lute to the night, three men disguised a* nc- J greet, came to the house, called lip the lady, and demanded possession of the money left in her charge. Believing that there wa* no help j for it, *h.’ at length told them thut the money i vvn* in another room, aud that she would go : a if. I gel It for them. It *o happened that the money had been de- ■ posited in the room occupied by the stranger ; and on her going for it she found bint tip and | loading ins pistol*, lie bad lieen awaken dby the noise, and had overheard most of the con versation talwecn his hostess and the robber*, j Telling thu lady to be of good beart he gave her a loaded plsldl, and instructed her to go | out and. present ihe money to one of the rob- I her* and In shoot the fellow whilst in tlic net ! of doing so—on her doing w inch he (the stran ger) would be ready for the other two.

But she, like a true heroine, sprang upon the bed and then out of the window, scream ing at the heilh of her voire and apoti be ing joined by the other children about the house, put sued the panther at her utmost speed. They followed it nboul forty rods to a pair of bars which separated the clear liug from the forest, at which place the giri state* that she approached to within 15 or ‘JO feet of the pa4)h< r, when it rcliu quished it* hold of the child leapt the bar* and made its way into the wood*.
