I propose lo impeach this wit ness, your honor— "1 meant tho time—it was n watch hang ing in the o.lico that I consnliod on that oc casion, ’ said Jerry humdoly, recovering himself immediately. There was more sparring, but tho witness was permitted to correct iiiinsolf, and the trial went on. i ’Several othor witnesses tvero onlled, among them the “Swamp Twins," who tos- titied to their part iu the burinl of tho mur dered m in.

Wngor ro- ilize.l that ho was surely entwined in a woh that meant (loom to himself. Tho trial continued tlireo days. Lirilo could bo said indefuuso, sinoo Do- tectivo Gray was unable to drum up evi dence of consequents.

This was objected to as bring irrelevant to tho ease. "1 will withdraw tho statement thon," said Wager. “What brought mo to tlio Wost With Mr. Ftvdon shall remain a secret for tho present.

The dofeuso nttomptod to make a handle of this, and it (lid scorn to have an ofl'ocl favorable (o llio prisoner on tho assembled multitude; what the effect on tho jury would ho roni.iiued in doubt until tho after noon of the third day. when all argument! wore submitted, and tho twelve good moil and line retired for consultation. Waiting for tho verdict! Tho vast crowd seemed scarcely to lire itl for tlio first ten miuiites after the retirement of tho jury. Thon impationco took liu place of expectancy, and a stir as of unensi ness filled the court-room. The prisoner sat nervously fingering tin arm of tho chair in which lie sat, gazing a< tho floor. Ilo was pale, and iloubtlesi deoply stirred, yet ho exhibited vory little of his inward excitement on tlio surfaoo. At tlio end of half on hour a rap on llu door of tho jury-room summoned tlio Slier. Iff. Soon after came tho announcement that a verdict was agreed upon, and then in Indian file the motley twelve marched to their respective seats. There was sensation in tho room wlion tho bald head of the first juryman appear ed, but this was quickly supressed, and dead silence reigned ns the last of the twelve seated himself in tho box. “Have you decided upon a verdict?” “We have.” “Do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty?" “Guilty!” The agony was over. To but few was the result unexpected. Of course the prisoner had hoped aga 'nst his judgment—juries were so eccentric sometimes—but that hope was doomed lo on early death. “Good." “Just right.” “Ought to lynch the scoundrel." This was the import of tho most that was said, and so tho verdiot of tho jury was satisfactory. Wallis Wager was remanded to jail. Al though the prosocution had promised to 'show that Wager was living under an as sumed name, the promise was not made good. Why the reader can guess. The ■Swaynes were not anxiouB to reopen the history of the past, and only dreaded its being done by the defense. All was over now, and tho conspirators breathed with more than usual freedom. Death on the scaffold was now tho doom to fall upon Wallis Wager. "1 s’pose I’ve your consent, dad, now to clinch the bargain with Iva,” said Jerry, tho moment father and son were alone together, after the completion of the trial. “No, yon haven’t.” “Eli? Why not?” oried the seemingly as tonished young man. “All is not secure yet." “Isn’t it? With Brono dead—aye, and Wondel, and that young scamp calling him self Wager sentenced to die for murder, it looks liko to me that tho coast was dum nigh oiear,” asseverated the younger Swayne in a deep, low voice. “Nevertheless it will not do to alarm the girl. She is quiet, and seemingly content now, and it will not do to even broach the subject of marriage to her,” returned the innkeeper. g< "l util after Robert Ranger is dead; then you will bo strong enough to make demands on Iva, but not till then." The youugcr Swayne frowned. To him delay was unpleasant He was anxious to step at onoe into a fortune. IIis palm ached to have the handling of money; he was less prudent than his father, mi l but for tho latter would liavo precipitated mntters nt once. “I’ll toll yon how it is, Jerry,” proceeded Mr. Swayne, after a moment of thought. "I havo Wondered exceedingly at th> weak ness made by the defense in this trial " "I don't she’s he could rnnke a stronger one, since ho was guilty," “Perhaps he oould not have saved him self, Jerry, but he might havo made us n good deni of trouble, and to toil tho truth, that is what I am afraid of now." "How is that?" “You know that tho onllnw, Brono, know all about the past, of the crimo that gavo us Iva and the opportunity of securing a fortune?" "I suppose so." “Well, he might have left somowlmro a reoord of that—Wager may havo found it iu his cell " “Nonsense, I know better than that," re torted Jerry, lightly. “Perhaps yon do, bnt here is nuother thing. Foster Woudol journeyod from New York with thiB man wo havo now safely locked in the elty prison, nnd it Is more than likely thnt tho old chnp made a confi dant of his young companion." “That might be." “In which case the man in prison yet holds our fate in his handB. One word, as it were, from him may yet blast all oui hopes." ’*I don't think so," returned Jerry. “Why not?” “If that fellow, Wager, was able to do us any injury he'd liavo ilono it long ago. De pend upon it, dad, lie hasn’t got tho infor mation you imagino he has. I toll you wo're safe enough to go ahoad. “Y’ou forget Eaglo Gray?” “No I don't He came West to hunt down this man Broun, for a diamond rob bery. He mot Wallis Wager by accident. know that nt tlio outset tlioy wasn't friends " But they soem to be mighty good friends now.” “Do they? I happen to know thnt such is not tho case. Now thnt tho young cub Is loekod up for murder, Eaglo Gray will not remain boro. I have it from good authority that tho deteotivo is exporting lo return East iu a day or two." “I hope ho may do so. I don’t liko tho mnn." “Nor I, bnt I don’t fonr him oillior." This conversation hnpponod n few days after tho trial. In tho moantime the New York ileteotive was not idlo. Ilo visited Wallis Wager in prison, and scored him roundly for the apathy ho displayed in his own dofonso. “You might havo exposed tho villainy of the prosocution by revealing wh it you know of tlio past history of tlio Sivnyi os: yon had it in your hands to save joursclf nnd crush your enemies, yot you refused to do so. 1 havo no patience w.tli bucIi actions. A serious look rested on tlio prisoner s face while tlio detoctivo talked. “Mr. Gray, you fail to comprehend the situation entirely I fear," said tliu young man in reply, “My unaided word would not havo h id weight, evon had I not boon under the ban of it sorious clinrge. Such a story would havo boon regarded ns a trick by tlio prosecution." “Nevertheless, it would have been a </r- feiwr," uttered Dotcctivo (Iray. "As it was you made none, and tho verdiot went us it did tlnough dofnult.” "Don’t jttdgo me too severely, or too soon,” proceeded tho prisouor. “To mo tho woo seemed too strongly woven lo break, and so I quietly submitted. It will bo at least too months before execution of tho sentence can take placo ” “You forget Judgo Lvuob." A slight pallor touched tlio faco of the prisoner nt this reference oil the part of tho dotcctivo. “I haven’t givon thought to that, I admit, but I trust you to see to that. Now that I am safoly lodged in prison, eouviclod of murder, I believo my oncmios nnd Eilnn’H will rest content. In the memitimo you must work out the salvnlion of both." Tho detoctivo looked solemnly silent. "You imagino it is a tremendous job, bul it is not so largo ns you think. Now that tlio real murderer Is dead rendeisyour task somuwhat more difficult” "You still imagine that Broun murdered your traveling companion, on the night of tho 'inth of August?” interrupted thuduleo- tivo questloningly. "I certainly do." “In which caso, 1 fenr thnt I can do bnt little. If the assnsHiu was living tho Railing would bo much plainer. I will do wlint I can, liowover." "if you can find no proof on that score, when it comes to tho Inst you will arrest Swayno on that old charge and savo tho girl. I put that into your hands, Eaglo, trusting yon to oarry it out nud do justico pistol cut the nlr. "You net l no, pardnor. Old Sw.iyno s placo is for s.ilo. ’ “Swavno?” "Him that keeps tlio tavern on Bog Hill. Yon must a stopped tliar wlieu you came in." “Bog Tavern?" "Tho same." “1 remember it. I liked the elevation, but it struck me that the laud wasn’t th* best," returned the old gentleman, mus ingly. ‘ Land! Great snak.s! Old chnp, you don’t ’spect to farm it, I hope. This ’ore’s a silver kentry, and men is gottiu’ rich eveiy day. Mebbd now this son o’ yourn might like to g’wiu to the tavern bizness; thnr’s money in that when you sells whisky and slch." “I’ll think about this,” returned the old •entleman, who had given his nnmo as iamlin. When Bog Tavern was reached nnd A change of homes made, old Mr. Hamlin Was the only passenger who remained. A chaji as is lookin' for a location," whispered Dusty Dan in an aside to the innkeeper. “Sell him the old place; he’s got the rocks." “I'll stop with you k few days nnd kind look round," suid Mr. llnniliu. “I s'poso your charges are reasonable. ” I'm not a robber.” answered Lucius Swayne, with a smilo. "I will try and eulertain yon, and should you like Bog Tavern. w'ill sell for a reasonable price." “Want to sell bad, 1 s'| o o." "Nothing of the kind, but I woulil sell if n mnn had the cash, anil wanted the place. I’vomule a heap of money here," “I don’t doubt it. Well, you nmy con sider mo a boarder for n Week, anyhow," snid Mr. Hamlin, "though, of course, I shan't promise to buy anything."

And then, giving his yo mg friend a warm hnnd-clasp, Eaglo Gray loft the prison to start nuow upon tho trail. CHAPTER XXVIII. AT T1XE LONE GRAVE. “Mr. Eng'e Gray, the no ed Now Y’ork deteotivo, who lias been working up a cele brated diamond stealing c iso, returned East this morning. It soems that Burden Bono, the notorious crook, who was hanged by a mob recently, was tho diamond thief, and tho secret of tho whoreabouts of tho stolen jewels died with him. Of course, tho de tective lias folt deep chagriu at tho outcomo of his visit to our beautiful city. The men who executed summary justice o i the out law, it seems, did a very unwise thing to Bay the least." The Morning Bugle, contained tho nbovo two days after Eagle Gray's interview with Wallis Wager. Tho detectivo smiled when he road the announcement. “It will servo to quiet some perturbed nerves I wot of," muttered Gray ns bo pulled contentedly at his cigar while glanc ing over tho paper. Somo days later, a grizzled old man, with body disfigured by on immense bump, yet withal well clad, hoarded tho 6tngo bound East. He was a small uian, with silver linir and brows, and a pnir of keen, twink ing gray eyes that denoted sharpness and deep per ception on the part of tlieir owner. I u ono hand he carried a large carpot bug of ancient make. “I don't like the city at all,” snid tho old man as ho accepted a seat beside Dusty Dan, tho famous driver of the Silvorsaud stage. “I came West to look for something worth speonlatin’ in ” “And havn’t found it?” “No, I haven't. Fact is, Mr. Driver, I’ve a son just married, who don't know moro n whole families, and I thought I'd settle the turtle doves on a bit of free Western soil, but bless my eyes! properly in and about this place is bighor n "tin in New York, bless me if it isn’t!" "And it's more vallyable too, pardner," asserted Dusty Dan, at the same time crack ing his whip and chirruping to his horses. The old stage bowled onward, reeling this way and that like a drunken mnn. Tho ooach was full inside, nnd Dan, who had been treated to a horn of forty-rod before starting, was in the best of humor. “Don’t know of a placo —a farm, liko, that a fellow could got light down cheap, do you, driver?" "Don’t 1, though?” returned Dusty Dun, with a ehucklo, as ho swung liis long lash in a swift coil above his head, and thou sent it flying like the dart of a serpent, forward, to within an inch of tho off lead er’s rump, so near, in fact, that tho hair ruffled as a^fleroe snap like the crack of a Vliell, shildron, once upon a time, you know, doro vims n man who lift'd closo peside a big woods.

Kducaling lliave Boys- Ptom Belmrfs Illustrated History of the Confederate Navy, published by \Y. II. Shepard & Co., of Atlanta, Ga., wc find a vety interesting history of the Confedbrnto Naval Academy. The school started July 211, 1803, under the super vision of Commander John M. llrooke, C. S. N., one of the most accomplished snilorg of his day, anil he had an able staff. The staff renmined almost, iutact until the school perished with the Confederacy. In tho summer of 1804, Lieut. O. F. Johnson relieved Lieut. Hall as com mandant of midshipmen hi order thnt tho Inttet might devote more attention to the instruction of the classes, and in No- vcinberj Lidut. ll. P. Lovidl relieved Lieut. Johnson. The only other change of importance wns thnt later Com. James Henry Rochelle was ordered to the school as commandant of midshipmen and exec utive officer. As f ir ns the exigencies of war would permit, the organization, studies and discipline of ihe school were modeled upon the curriculum of tlio U. 8. Naval Academy. Cadets wore ap pointed by members of Congress from their respective districts nnd by the President from the Confederacy at largo, ami the school began work with fifty acting midshipmen. They were required to be not under fourteen nor over eight een years of nge, nnd on the roll were represented many of tho most distin guished families of the South. After passiog a physical examination nud an examination on such elementary studies as reading, writing, spelling and tho four principles of arithmetic, they became acting midshipmen nnd entered upon their studies, which comprised six de partments nml twenty-two brunches. There were four annua! courses and the midshipmen were arranged into four classes, each rlnsa pursuing one of these courses. The studies of the fourth eluss embraced practical seamanship, naval gunnery nml artillery nnd infantry tnc- tics, algebra to equations of tlie first de gree, English grammar auil desciip tive geography; those of the third eluss, practical seamanship, gunnery and artillery anil military tactics, algebra, geometry, plane nnd spher ical trigonometry, physical geography, history nnd the French language; those those of the second class, seamanship nml steam, gunnery nnd field artillery, astronomy, navigation, application of al gebra nnd trigonometry to mensuration of planes nnd solids, political science nnd French; those of tho first class, socman fillip and naval tnctics, gunnery, infantry tactics, navigation, surveying, French nnd Spanish. Tho Academic Board held examina tions in each June nnd December, nnd tho December examination was attended by n board of visitors, commanders, whe ascertained and decided upon the quali fications of the midshipmen for promo tion; nnd ns rapidly as the latter were deemed proficient they were ordered to ships, batteries, or other duty. Tlio Patrick Henry was usually stationed near Drcwry’s Bluff, tin; scene of desperate fighting, and by the timo they were sent to distant service they were versed in the practice as well as thu theory of war. If the routine of a day h as not broken by a summons to man the guns on shore, or do. scouting, or take part in boat expedi tions, it wns full of hard work on board. The morning gun was llreil at seven o’clock, and nt eight a breakfast of hard tack and a decoction of sweet potatoes or beans that masqueraded as coffee was served. Sick call, studies nml recitations occupied the hours until two o'clock, nml then came a dinner of salt junk, perhaps a moss of vegetables, ami the inevitable corn-meal that became a staple article of diet when wheat flour climbed toward $1,200 per barrel in Confederate currency. School exercises and dress parade took up Ihe remainder of the (lay ended with tattoo at 0:30, and taps at 10 o'clock. Near the close of the war, when it became necessary to have the boys on shore pretty much all tlio time to stand to tlio guns, tlioy occupied lints in ihe Dfcwry’s Bluff butteries. Such a training nouri-li d and strengthen their finest qualities, and it is not re markable that so many of them have since risen to positions of great honor nnd trust, and exemplified tlio virtues and worthy ambitions of civil life.
