As they stood in a circle a- iround the lire, they resembled a group of vagabouil English gipsies,, fresh front the stocks, or the whipping-post. They were armed with sabres, knives, pistols, and muskets. Their faces were smutched with powder, their beards and hair long and neglected, their garments torn by conflict and tlie sharp teeth of the cypress hedges. Tile names of these men were respectively as follows: Martin Vantassle, Nathaniel Herrick, Phillip Langford, Simon Arrow- smith, John Nicolson, James Pollard, and Timothy Beeker. Vantassle; a tall, athletic, ill-visaged fellow, was the leader of these fierce and intractable spirits. Unsheathing his hea vy sabre, and planting its point in the ground between his feet, he addressed his companions. “ Men,” he said, in a hard, harsh voice, that harmonized well with Ins general pres tige, “ we’ve met here to-night to bind our selves together in perpetual fellowship by solemn oath and mutual agreement.

Simon Arrowsinith was the last to draw. He drew Gideon Grant, leaving Paul Ha- zlchurst for Vantassle. “ It is just as I wish it,” observed the latter, while a scowl of hatred gave addi tional malignance to his expression. “ He has visited the Burnsides at Lau- relwood,” remarked Langford. “Is it Judith or Jessie?” asked Pollard, with a sneer. “ It shall be neither,” thundered Yan- tassle, casting fierce glares around him.— I “Let us join hands,” he added, "and , sciBne at as l.ov pH- j cioas Majesty, the King of Great Britain J ^ ^ tloit areprae- aml rtgl.Uul ruler of these,eoltm.es —i T4)is WilS j n _ st antlv done; with clasped have- touched his money, and will do Ins , ham ,. aR(] unsheat i lcll sabres they renew- " or . . , , . . , , , i.. ed their terrible compact, invoking direful “It isn tthe- king I care so muc t.i lout, p^p^ties if tfaev proved recreant to their “'"tiered Nat Herrick, but the utter des- ■ Thc Lcag , w of thc Seven was com- trucLion and extermination of the \. nigs.

It’ll be strange if Nat Herrick don’t have his share of the plunder.’ There was an applauding murmur a- round thc grim circle. “ I was cornin’ to that subject,” tickled Vantassle, impatiently. “ I reckon I know the merits of the case, and understand the natur’ of your feelin’s, my lads. V e never seed the King of England, any of us ; and if we should, it’s agin reason to s’pose that he’d speak to us; and to tell the truth, we care little about him.

A moment later, and nothing hut thc smouldering embers of their fire re mained to mark the spot where they had met. CHAPTER II. I.AUHEI.WOOD. Twilight stole silently upon Latirelwood —it curled in upon thc mansion and sur rounding trees like a pale, soft mist. It was a very quiet hour, hut lo Jessie Burn side there was something inexpressibly oppressive in tiie air. Her fair compan ions, Ruth Highland and Judith Burnside, her sister, sympathized with these feelings of uneasiness. With the exception of Blin ko. a black servant, and Jupe, a mulatto girl, these ladies were, at this time, thc sole occupants of the house, Mrs. Burnside licing absent, in attendance upon a sick relative, while Air. Burnside was serving in Marion’s brigade. It was at that peri od when the struggle for liberty seemed dark and hopeless. South Carolina was overrun with pitiless enemies and devasted with fire and sword. Toryism was rife, and stalked abroad like a destroying an gel, smiting old and young. No man trusl- Torv makes me shudder; your disgusts me, while your deeds with horn r!” She tried to escape from the summer ; tree,’’ answered tiie pa “ Then tty—escape firm th#taek door you may ! They certain lyrvrill not he so brutal as to harm us young girls,” said Judith, entreatingly. “My poor girls, you don’t know 'em as well as I dr. I’ve followed their terrible trail, and looked upon their infernal work. 1 know what happens to sit-hr as von, and should be tempted to kill you with my own hand, rather than leave you to their ruffian violence. If my time’s conic, and I’m to go the way of all the earth. I'll die here in defense of beauty ai d mnoevnte.'’ “Noble Tom I” cried Ruth, “ If you’ve any firearms and ar.fntini- tion, hurry to bring ’em aud lav ’em down Inside me, and he ke rod to keep nit of the range of the winders.” By this time Blinko had revived, and hearing this order, said: “ I’ll tend to dat, Mars Tom. Only let de young misses keeji out de way, and I’ll sti.n l by you as long as car is hretf o’ life in me.” Blinko disappeared, !' «t- soon returned with a blunderbuss, two muskets, a brace of duelling pistols, a hi g of buckshot and u horn of powder. Ilutter took thc blun derbuss and charged it heavily. There was no light in tl.e hia.se save a single candle, which was placed behind a door in a corner to prevent serving as a guide to the Tory marksmen. Ilutter cast himself upon* the floor and watched the movements of the assailants over tl*e window sill. His person was somewhat exposed to the shots of the ene my, but his coolness did not for a moment desert him. “ The cowards are about lo charge upon thc door in a 1 ody,” lire said, presently 1 Binko, give me the blunderbuss.” The black handed the luavy and de structive weapon lo the scout, whose mus cles were firm and obedient. The young ladies observed his movements with indis- cribable interest. Their fate seemed to rest upon his single arm. A chilling sen sation of horror ciept over them when they reflected upon the consequences of defeat and capture. The tories rushed toward the door with a shout. Ilutter quickly aimed his wea pon and poured twoj andfuls of bueksliot into the niidst of them. They re "tiled and retreated to the covert of the shrubbery. A knocking was heard at the rear door. “ Who's there ?” demanded Ilutter.. “Well, 1 rather guess one on ’em’s me!” said a genuine Yankee \oiee. “Podijah Makepeace is pooty gener’Iv about when there's any skrimmngin" gum' on.” Blinko imu.c liat 1. unfastened the door and admitied two persons. Podijah Make peace had a figure of imposing -iieight.- you that I am a poor, trembling gil l, with no protector.” “ I shall have no trouble in remember ing the last, I'll warrant. I shouldn't trusted myself here if you’d been sur rounded by the cursed rebels. Come, gal, our home is in Laurel Swamp. ’ With a quick, unexpected movement, Y antassle drew her to him, lifting her in his arms, and moved toward the dark and tangled mass of wood lying in the rear of the mansion at the distance of a hundred rods, and covering an area of ten miles in circumference. By this time Ruth and Judith had miss ed her, and came running to the spot as he was bearing her away. They cried loudly for assistance, while terror nearly deprived them of sense and volition. At the moment when the catastrophe seemed complete, a tall man, with a long rifle in his hand, sprang from a clump of shrub bery, seized Y antassle by the throat, wrested Jessie from his grasp, and chok ing him till he was black in the face, hul led him to tire ground.
