A TALE»---BY }}RS. OPUS.‘
[CO1-5T1.\'UED.]

HENRY had slept two ltours,‘ whcr‘1jt1s‘t as
the clock struck twelve he was awaketted by the
opening of the door of his cell, and Slal‘tli‘1g up
he saw with a bieating heart that it opened to ad-
mit the jztilor. “ f '

‘ is it possible,’ cried Henry mournfully, ‘that
itcan be day alr<.—ady E’ and that the terribl'e mo-
ment is so very near ?’

‘Quiet yourself,’ replied_the jailor in a low

.
voice: 5 It l3‘-'.:f‘.:j‘ ‘.‘.'celve o’clock at night, and I
am come to save you I’
‘ To save n1e I’ 4 _

‘ Yes :-—-but be qticl: 11nd dress y.‘ourself——_Stay,
let me take off your irons first.’ And while he
spoke, the bewildered Henry felt his letters re-
n1oved,doubtn':g whether it was not a pleasing
dream. _ ’ ‘ ‘ 4

‘ Here, take your clotlies and dress directly, I
tell you,’ continued the j".-ti'lo1'. ‘You inust know
that my son, a wild one to be sure_2.bi1t after all
that, he is my son, you lEn’o'1i'—'—:t1as condemned
to be hung to-n’1‘or'row with‘ you for highway-
robbery; but nobody knew he was my son ; else,
you know, l1e would not h‘t1v'e been let to rernain
under the custody of his poor fond fath'er. VVell,
the lonii and the short ofit is, that either he must
die, or I set ltirn free and go along‘-5 with’ him, and
sltarehis fortunes, and try to make a better boy of
him if I.’can. I shall write _a bit" ofa letter to
leave behind, to tell the folks the rights of the bu-
siness: and fathers will, no doubt, be not much
inclined to blame one, as a child is'onc’s own flesh
and blood, you ‘know :-—and fatltcrs feel for fa-
thers you know ;-——and that’s the reason I am
come to take you ol-l'alot1g with us ; for sbnie
how I coultl not bear to see the poor gentleman,
your good fatltcr, take on as he did; and so I
swore an oath to myself, that if I’ saved my son I
would save his too—-and now I have said my
say.’ ‘ - _ _

’ Henry could not reply; but he grasped his
hand in silence. His mind was fully made up as
to the propriety of accepting the offer : and even
if it had not been so, that love of life, wl1‘icl1-notl1-
ing but excessive misery can subdue, now throb-
bed so violently in his breast, that fly. he must,
at all risks, from the unjust fate which awaited
him.

'l.‘lie jailor now protlucerl 21 dark juice, with
wlnclrlte died Ht-.11ry’s fair face; and having
blacked his eye-brows and his cl1i11, heput on him
a dark-colo'ured head of hair‘, and then lelt him,
to go for his son. .

In another half hour they were safe out of the
prison walls, and on their road to London ; the
_i:.~.ilor having deposited the keys of the prispn a11d

his letter at the door of the post~ofiice, directed
to the governor of the prison.

VV.hen they were completely out in the coun-
try, the jailor and his son gave aloud whistle,
which was immediately answered by another;
an-:l.’soot1 alter a man and woman appeared. ac-
complices cf the young.man’s, who-gave them a
bundle contaitiing disguises for all three.

As l-lenry, tltouglt well made, was by no means
tall, they put a .\t‘oman’s dress on him ;‘and with
a pipein his mou_tl1, and a basket 011 his aunt, he
looked like a sort oftvomarl who follows :1 camp,
or like a :ravelling gipsy: and the men not only
looked like gipsy men, bur. the young one tvas no
mean proficient in the gipsy language. The
clothes i11 which they had left their prison. they
put into it sort of wallet, thejailor slung them o-
ver his shoulder, and then they resumed their
journey.

\Vhen the day was so far aclvanccd that the hu-
Sit‘tt:f:‘s of life seemed every where t'(':COIBlilcnClttg‘
at-o1:11tl them, they thought it expedient to rcti re
front the road. and like gipsies, sit down and burn
tlit-'r sticks and cook their dinner; as their friends
whom they had met, had provided them with ev-
e1y thing tiecessary : and by thus assuming the
appca:.'-.111ce and manner of gipsies, they got safe
to Londott, and to one of the young man’s lt-aunts

tltt-.-rc, at me end of the third day, while Henry
fervently returned thanks to heaven for his es-
cape from death, and was grateful for life, even
though obliged to pass one night in a place of ren-
clezvous for l1uusebreakei's and ltightvaytnen.

But the next morning the considerate jailor
came to his bedside to advise with him what it
was best for him to do. ‘ I know,’ said, be, ‘this
is no scene for such as you-.-it is quite too. ‘bad
for me. But 1 must stay here for safety at pre-
sent ; and after the hue and cry is over, I hope to
get into some honest way myself; though I fear

I can never get my poor boy from his bad ways.’

‘ My kind friend,’ replied I-Ienr ', ‘ while Iand
my fatlicr or Mr. Courtnay live, you may coin-
lIt7.ln(lOlll‘ services. But at present I, as well as
you, must be secret in all that we do, and not be
SCLH together. I have no doubt but that the real
murderer will one daybe discuvered,a11dtl1e11
I shall be able to appear again ; and till then how
can I conceal myself?’ -

~ By this time, no doubt, as your father and Mr.
(Iuurtnay know of your escape, they are both, I
dare say, come or coming to London. Sol would

have you go to a room which I will get for you in
a little alley hard by, and in two days’ time you
may V‘entlil'C to Mr. Courtnay’s in this tlisgttiac,
wlsicli alters you so that I should ltave never
known you in it. Till then you may if you like,
go z-.bout selling ballads and flowers, if you lind
staying rather lonesome.’

I-lcmy thought being lonesome much better
than selling flowers and ballads; and having re-
moved to his room in a dark alley neat"Co\'ettt
Gzmlen, he waited there with no small impatience
till the jailor should tell him that he tltougltt he
might venture to Mr. Courtnay’s. W _

Henry had ventured to walk out in an CVénl1h_c-;,
and was at that time so" fearless that he \vist1’e"d to
go then to Mr. Courtnay’s. But the jailor, find-
ing that Mr. Courtnay’s own’ counting-house, in
which he usually sat alone, opened and looked',i11-
to a court which was open to the street, he advi-

sed that Henry should go to his house in the day,
and pass this window : and if he \'z1sthet'e_aldr1e,
enter the room on pretence of selling him flow-
ers antl ballads. By this means all intercourse
with the servants or clerks would be avoided ;'and
Mr. Courtnay might be uustecl to contrive the
best possible means of concealing Henry in fu-
ture. ” ’.

llenry was at lcngtlt brought to adopt this plan
entirely; and having insisted 011 givingtl1e_iailor
as soon as possible some reward for his k_i1’;‘yness,
it ‘(vats settled that when Henry S:‘t‘.V.l\It'. C'ourtnay
he was to tell him that the jailor would walk un-
der his window at such an hour that evening, like
a blind man, playing a hurdy-gurdy ; and that he
would walk there till Mr. Courtnay came out,
and gave him the promised 1'econ1pcn'se.

This plan was very satisfactory to the mind of
I-Ien1:y,* who could not bear to receive so great an
obligation without pro\i‘11_:; his sense ofit in some
way as soon as possible ; an-.l be well knew that
his munilicent fribnd would gladly double what-
ever he gave. -' I

At lengtlt the jailor came to tell him he might,
be thought, go to Mr. Courtnay’s, and that he
thought he had seen him at his own door that
morning. . 

‘ Se‘e,"added the jailer,‘ what I have bro~..1ght
you—-put these in your baslcet when you go.’

I-Ienry- looked, and saw handbills describing
him in the most minute particular; and offering
a great reward for his apprehension. He shud-

‘dered while he read ; but as Mr. Courtnay’s house

was :1, very little way off, and he knew. that it‘ once
there he might be concealed‘, éve_n .t111k'n‘owi1 to
the servants, he co'11q11ercd his fears,-and set off
for the place of his destination.

He soon reached the door of the court in safe-
ty, and almost unnoticed, as such figures as his
were too common to be molested : and looking:
~in at the countitig-liouse window, he saw his
friend :-—but in vain did he try to .engag'e his at-
tention. Mr. Courtnay angrily waved him away
with his -hand and contittuecl to read the newspa-
per. He was therefore obliged to open the door
and go into the room. On seeing this intrusion,‘
 Cottrtnay hastily rose and commanded‘ him
to go away. But Henry held outa nosegay, and
one of the papers describing himself, to him. b

As soon as the name of Henry '\Voodvillé,
caught his eye, M1-2 Courtnay, changed colon-1:-,5’
and seized the handbill-‘ Have you any more of
these vile papers, woman 3’ said he, seizing, the
basket; then tearing them all into a l1und_ret pic-
ces, he threw down the basket, and grasping Hen-
1’y’s arm, exclaimed, ‘ Ifyou dare to sell any more
of those accursed papers, I will have you taken
up, I . . . .’ _ ~ 7 .
What other threats he would have uttered I
know not; but his utterance was suddenly sus-
pended : for Henry, affected by ‘even this impo-
/tent attempt to serve him, so indicative of affec-

tionate fec-li11g,laid' his ltead against his shoulder,
and burst into tears. 2

‘ My kind friend 1’ said Hpnry in his own voice.
More was utnteccssary. Mr. Courtnay did not
even attempt to reply; but he instantly drew
down the. blind, grasped lIenry’s hand, put his
finger onhis lit‘-s,to enfore the necessity of silence
and then locking Henry into the room, disappear-
ed without uttering -.1 vzord. '

lle 1‘etu1netl in about half an hour, and then
opening a small doorin the counting-house, he
led the way up the stair case which communica-
ted with the lrcelling house , a11d Henry soon
found l1in1scl'l/in a sort of lumber‘-garret, but far
removed from the rest of the house.

M1. Courtnay now ventured to speak. and to
give utterance to all the feelings af his affection-
ate lteart. .

As soon as he ltutl recovered his emotion, ' he
told llenry that when he hadlelt him, he went
to send the servants out of the way, that he migltt
get the key of the lumber room, (which was al-
ways locked up, because it opened on the stairs
co1't1rnu1‘.icating' with the couminghouse) and con-
vey into it wine and other refresltments front a
cook’s shop adjoining. That done,l1e had locked
the door on the outside, and was now certain that

asylum.

Henry now, at his earnest request, related the
particulars of his escape to him, and of his arri-
val in London. V-Vhen he had ended, Mr. Court-
nay exclaimed,——‘ Then neith€_.l' here 11or in Lon-
don must you remain another night. The jailor
you might trust ; but his son might betray you
to his accomplices, as I sectthe reward for your
apprehension is considerable, and Iwill this mo-
ment set about puttims; in execution a plan to
place you in a secure abode.’

Henry then told him what he had promised
thejailor, and Mr. Courtnay said he would take
care to be in the way at the appointed hour, and
the jailor should xtot have cause to repent his kind-
mess.

on that‘ side also ; who with a thankful and-lighb
ened heart threw himself on a sort ofbroken so-

under the roof of his friend, he enjoyed the only
comfortable sleep he had known since he quittcd
the prison. '

Mr. Courtney did not return till the hour that
the jztilor was to appear as a blind man ; and he
was already in the street before he reached his
house. But he had not to wait long for his re-

service.

The jailor then said, ‘ God bless you, sir, and
the young gentlemen I I know you will take care
of him; and I do nor even wish to knpw where
you will put him" ;—-it is better not--so I do not
ask.’

This was a proof of the jai1or’s honesty, and
Mr. Courtnay» left him with it lightened heart.

having first see'n that the clerks were too busy to
notice what he did. He then carried the bundle
into I-Ienry’s room.

His unlocking the door roused Henry from
his sleep. ‘ Come, Hemy,’ said Mr. Courtnay,
‘there is no time to be lost; I give you an hour
to eat your dinner and to clothe yourself i11 this
dress and wig, and then you must be off.’

He then left him to dress : but returned before
he had eaten his dinner, to tell him all he knew
of ltisfather, who, on hearing of Henry’s escape,
“had accontpau-ied Mr. (.‘ourt11z1y to London, as no
tidings‘ ofthe runaways had been received, be-
cause they thought it likely he would seek shel-
ter at Mr. Courtnay’s. But that Mrs. '\Vood-ville
had fretted herself i11to so severe auattack of fe-
ver, that her husband had been forcedto return
home without waiting for news of his son. ‘ But
no doubt the joy of your escape has cured her by
this time,’ added he : “ And now make the best of
your way on the Berkshire road, and by the time
‘you are out of London I shall-stop and take you

up’

suit of second hand livery, with a footmzn.’s hat
and great coat, and as natural :1 head of dark [lair
to match Henry’s present complexio11,as he could
procure.- And as a public maslquerade, 011 ac-
count of some rejoicings, was going to‘ take place,
he was believed when he said he wanted it for
masquerade purposes. He then orde'red a travel-
ling-chariot with four horses to’ come to his door
about dark; having previously told his clerks that
he was forced to leave town on account of the
danger of a dear friend. Then taking pistols for
himself and Henry, he desired the postillions to
drive towart-Is Berkshire, and stop to take up his
lootnian on the road. Elettry was at the appoint-,
ed spot ; and Mr. Courtnay having desired him
to sit on the box, gave him the pistols, and a
blnutlerbuss, with a green bandage for one of-his
eyes, and desired the drivers to drive on.

1 will now proceed to relate Mr. Courtnay’s
plans for his beloved charge. He thought that
Henry was not so likely._._to be sought for nearthe
spot where he had escaped, as at a distance.-—

.'He therefore resolved to take him to Bristol,cross

the Severn with him, and see him settled i11 some
lodging near Ghepstow. Accordingly, Henry of-
ficiated as his foot-man even until they reached-
VVales: but when across the water, Mr. Cou'rt-
nay produced an entire suit of clothes belonging

. ,to Henry; and thus equipped once ‘rfiore like
.”himself, except that hispomplexion was‘ allowed
~-‘to retain‘a little of’ its dark hue, they sallied forth
, in search‘ of a place of abode.

Fortunately they found one, at the house of
an elderly woman two miles from,Cl1ep’stow, in a
field which extended to tltebanks of the Vi/ye.

Opposite the» room which was to be Henry’s,
stood at small‘ neat mansion, which, they found»
was recently let to a’ tenant who had not”yet‘ta_l:en
possession. Henry, under the natrieof VV1ll_1am
Grani/ille,-immediately took possession of his a-
partment-; and Mr. Courtnay left- him with as
little serrcmr:71t~'dc' war as possible, ‘since he now

 

he would be quite safe for the present in that‘

Mr. Courtnay then went down the stairs into '
the counting-ho'use, having first locked Henry in —

fa beside him :_ and now feeling ltimselfsccure

ward, which was thoroughly proportioned to the ,

He now took a bundle from a porter who fol--
lowed l1_im,and carried it into the counting-l1ouse,-

Mr. Courtnay had gone in search of a complete V
