For a week I had remained a captive in
my strange prison. The few gleams of hope,
that had visited 'me at intervals during the
first two or three daysrof my confinement,
had disappeared, and the darkness of utter
despair enshrouded me. ‘I had grown weary
of existence, or rather utterly indifferent to
it. At times I thought .of the past, of' the
happiness that I had shared,-of those that
loved me, and of Ellen-,but it Was all dream-
like. By-goue events: seemed like the
shadowy occurrences of a vision and the
memory of old friends brought nothing more
vivid to my mind than- thc dim, spectral
forms that we see in sleep. Yet now and
then I would be reused from the lethargic
state into which I had fallen by a fleeting
remembrance, so bright and glorious, that. I
almost thought it present reality. At such
moments, the walls of my. prison appeared
to crumble away and Leonidasee the blue
sky, the clear siln;‘.the-forests and the fields,
more beautiful fhanJ-had ever known them,
and all‘whom I loved came to-greet me and
welcomed me with smiling faces, and I
would start to clasp thcm,‘wben suddenly
the vision would disappear, and the cold
precincts of my dungeon and the darkness,
half illuminated by that gleaming lamp, call-
cd me back to reality and despair.
both my hands, when'tli'e door above open-
ed,‘ and something dropped at my feet. I
looked at it listlessly but stirred not.
“Pick it. up, boy, and read it ;" said the
harsh voice of Jenkins; “it‘s about you.”
Still I did not move.
“Zoundsl I'believetbe fellow’s dead.”
said he,.tlien in a loud tone, “read it, I tell
you, it’s about you and that Harding girl."
“Harding 1" I exclaimed, “Ellen i Ellen
' Harding l”
Doctsfihoesjiaiters,
"Yes; you’re right; she’s dead rshe died
long, long ago." . ‘ ‘
. I looked up at him; it was a pleasure to
see any human face then. “I’m half crazy,
Ibelieve,” I continued, “what did you say i"
“The newspaper there at your feet; pick
'it up'and read it ; it hasigot the latest news
about you and your girl." '
Of a sudden reason and recollection re-
turned. I seized ihe paper and eagerly
sought the article to which Jenkins referred.
_He had’marked it with a pencil. it was as
follows :—
“Something Extraordinary—Eminent B:-
traordmary.—Our village was thrown into
considerable excitement last week by the
sudden disappearance of the eldest daughter
of one of our most respectable citizens.
Fears for her safety were entertained for
some time, but it was subsequently discover-
ed that a clerk in one of our dry goods’
stores, was among the missing on the same
evening that» the lady waslast seen. The
aforesaid clerk has been rather marked in
his attentions to Miss H . ,the damsel
in question, for a'few weeks past,-and but
little doubt is entertained that-both are now
jogging along comfortably together, as man
and wife, somewhere in the State of New
York. It is a little singular that nothing
whatever has been heard of, either of them
since their disappearance, and this circum-
stance, together with the extreme youth of
the parties, the gentleman not being more
than eight n, and the lady a year or two
younger, as caused some to suspect foul
play, but the opinion most prevalent seems
to be that it isa Gretna Green affair.”
The paper dropped from my hands and I
started to my feet. I spoke to Jenkins, but
he was gone and the door closed upon me.‘
I shouted to him" to comeback; still he Came
not. I felt the love of life, of the world; and
of old friends returning, and with it returned
irfierce desire to escape. I sought in vain
for some instrument to break my fetters.
Suddenly a thought struck me. “He has
furnished the means of deliverance himself,"
said I, in a suppressed voice. I took up the
paper,'rolled it tightly together into the
shape of‘a long taper, and reaching as faras
I could, extended it toward the flame of the
lump. Its utiermost extremity touched the
blame and lighted. I then applied it to the
cords that bound my' feet till they burned
asunder. .One- foot-was now free. but the
"other was still fastened to the wall by the
chain. I dug up the earth arouil'd‘me with
my hands in search of a stone; for a long
time I sought in vain, but at last I found
one. With this I beatupon the staple in the
wall to which the chain was amxed till I
broke it off. My person was now free.
I could not remove the chain from my ankle,
But how to open the thick oaken door above,-
was still a question of much difficulty. I
removed the .lamp from its place and broke
the shelf on which it :stood from the wall.
With- the instrument thus obtained, I eu—
douvored to sever the fusieuiugs of the door.
.With equal surprise and joy I discovered
that my gaolcr had not secured it by the
usual means: It yielded to my efforts and I
at last Succeeded in forcing it upward and
backward, till it fell upon the floor above,
'i
I was sitting with my face resting upon -
leavingto- me an easy egress. I sprang “Prl
tatic a thrill of joy-as ran through my whole
.frame when I first breathed the unconfined
atmosphere on that stormy night. The rain
was iallinyin torrents, the lightning gleam.
thunder broke upon the ear,and the roaring
of the waves echoed back the voice of the
contending elements. But I noticed not the
tempest ; I cared neither for the thunder or
the lashing waters; I was ‘free, and hope
:again sprang up in my breast and brought
with it visiOus of future happiness.
cuarnrn II.
My first care as _I left the house was to
.find some method of loosing the chain from
my ankle. I searched witbmy hands till 1
found a large stone, and then ' placing .my
foot upon an adjacent reek, Iibeat upon the
fetterartill it broke, and the last relic of my
confinement was gone. I knew that there
was another island between me and the
main shore, and when by 1 the glare of the
lightning Isaw it but a short distance 00', I
resolved to’swim _to it. This'I succeeded in .
. doing without lunch difiiculty,'in the midst
of the raging tempest. The island which I
thus reached, was larger. than the one -I had
ten, and abouts mile'fr'om the mainland. I
'resolved to attempt the: latter. passage. It
‘v'vas'a hazardous undertaking in the midst
of the darkness and the‘storm,but I knew'
myself to be an expert swimmer; ad 10ve
and hope buoyed me up. And so'I plunged
into » the heaving waters, and breasted my
way to the opposite shore. The heavens
above me were jet black, save when 'the

.ed nothing ; my thoughts were with Ellen ;
I was uncertain of her fate, yet I felt as if
each moment. was bringing me nearer to her.
At last weary and almost exhausted, I
gained the shore. After a few moments re-
the margin oi'tbe creek, till I reached the
house of Jake,- the negro. I went at once
to the door and knocked. By considerable
efi'orthl s'uCceeded in rousing the inmates.
A light was struck in the interior, the door'
partially opened, and I saw the sable coun-
features of his visitor. The light fell upon
my countenance, and when his eyes rested
upon me. he started as if he had been shot,
the lamp fell from his hand, and retreating

“Lord o’massyl Jake, what are you say-

half a dozen Chairs in his eagerness. At
last be procured alight, and his wife, who -
by this time, was risen and dressed, coming
close up to me and scanning my features,
exclaimed- ’
“There, old Jake, didn't I tell you Mr.
Lovell couldn’t be dead; but you- would
have it so.” . '
“And-didn’t I tell you he wouldn’t run
away with Miss Ellen,” said her husbantb
“and that he would come back agiu, if he
won’t dead."
“No, Jake,” said I, “I have neither run
away with Miss Ellen, nor ‘am I dead, and
thank Heaven, I have come back again ”,
“But how pale he is Jake,” said the wo-
man, “and his clothes all drenched with
rain."
"Make up a little fire, will you?” said, I
“and let me sit by it and dry myselt, while
‘I tell you what I have been doing'and wish
to do." , ~
The negro did as I requested, and in a
few moments we were all sitting before the
glowing, hearth, while I related tbecuuse of
my disappearance and my subsequent ad-
ventures." . ‘ V ‘ .
“Fire and blazes 1” said Jake, starting up
as I concluded, “the infernal scoundrel»!
But would’t I like to git hold on him—Why,
you see, Mr. Lovell, when you couldn’t be
found, nor Ellen either, folks said you’d
run away with her; and old Harding was
in -a terrible passion, and they got up every-
thing ibey could find, to chase you, but
they didn’t know which way you’d gone,
and every body was talkin’- about it—bnt.

ed so that none can know of my reappear

cnar'rn'n In.
Two or ‘three days elapsed without any
movement on my part to accomplish the
discovery and release of Ellen. I was
desirous of alloying the fears-of her abduc-
tors consequent upon my escape, so that I
could proceed more securely in my task.
Jake, meanwhile, had been engaged in ob-
taining whatever knowledge he could of the
confederates, their names, character, and
place of residence.
I was sitting alone in the little room that
he had allotted for my use and was looking
outof its only window towards the south.
.It wasa Clear summer afternoon and from
when: I eat I could see the course of the
creek as for down as the landing in another
village below. I was absorbed in my own
ooutemplations; Jake was absent gathering
and walked into the open air. I was now
fies. Amid the varied sorrows and pleas-
ures of my 1ife,I have never known so on»
ed fitfully through the sky, harsh pools of

Words in their conversation—though ,I was
myself entirely screened from their sight.—
'The men were Jenkins and ‘Watson‘. I rec-
ognised the former at once, and concluded
the latter to be his companion in guilt,
though I knew him not. 1 drewblmk and
listened. - '
“Where the d———l [can .he have gone 9”
said Jenkins; "I found the lamp shelf broke
in two, the door wide open and the chain a
few feet from the house. There was a roar-
ing storm that night and I reckon he must
be about somewhere.” .
' “Didn’t he try to swim off, think you t”
inquired Watson.
“By —i I didn’t think of that. Yes,
that’s it; the youngster was determined to
get away, and he undertook to swim and
got drowned, it must be so; if he were in
town we should have known it before this
time. Good! he won’t . trouble us any
more i" ' .
“How long are you going to keep the gal,
Tom, and what will you do with her 7".
“I havu't. decided yet; reckon I shall
take her to New :York though; how, does
_sheappea'r f" ,- » . '
_ “Poorly ; she‘s grown pale and thin, but
she‘s spunky as ever. I’m half sorry for
her." ‘ ‘7 .1 , _.
' “Psha'w l manfsorryino use in that.”
The voices grew fainter as they passed,
and I could no longer distinguish the words.
At this moment Jake entered my room,
exclaimiug: ' - '
“Wall,Ml-.Lovell, I’ve found outtheir
names, by thunder! and something about
where they live; That short chap’s name is
id “18 old house under the hill, up abovethc

“The very spot where we were attacked,"
said I, interrupting him, “what sort of a

“Why, there are two or- three families;

with a heavy cane, and followed at a short
distance by-honest Jake.
CHAPTER xv.
Thoughtfuily I pursued my way along the
shore of the creek toward the village, medi-
tating various plans for the release ofEllen,
and the punishment of the Confederates.
My reverie was, however, anything but a
pleasant one. A thousand difficulties opposed
the Completion of my wishes. The elope-
story was everywhere prevalent, dishonor.
iug both Ellen and myself, and more than
all, I knew not where she was at present, or
what had been 'her fate in the power of such
a remorseless villain as Jenkins. I was
young, and weak, and poor, and a stranger,
and even should I effect the deliverance of
Ellen, would not her father, whose attention
had not before been called to our affection
on account of our extreme youth. command
his daughter to shun the society of one like
me, one, tOo, who had incurred’ the enmity
of the most unscrupulous of the community.
I reached themaiu street of the village as
these thoughts were passing through my
mind, and shaking them off with an efi'ort,.I
turned to the left, towards the Bridge.
I had-proceeded but a little distance, when
I paused before a kind ,of grOcery, eating
and drinking establishment of. considerable
notoriety at that time, on the water side of
the road, and which was brilliantly lighted
and displaying various indications of the
’goodcheer within. I waited for'the negro
to come up, a'nd asked if be supposed the
object of our search would be likely to be >
there. ‘
“Lord! no. Mr. Lovell; what, sich men
as Jenkins and Whtson in there f Guess
you never knew .much about that spot,,did
you it”
“'No, but
might be a place of resort. _ _
“Wal, so it is, but not forsich folks. They
keep the best "of- drinks there, and they’ve
gets back room‘where customers can be
by themselves ; and so the ’squires,.und the
doctors, and the rich folks go there and eat
and drink, and they do some other things,
for they always have dice and cards in that
’ere back room. I’ve heard ’em sometimes
urter midnight,when I was in my boat by
the wharf, singin' away like all natur’, and.
there would be the sound of dice ruitiin’, or
a voice cailin' out ‘irumps,' or ‘ihrce aces
and a pair.’ The man that keeps it is a cute
chap, too; always has both eyes open ; can
drink a glass with his customers if neces-
sary ; knows all about ahoss,,aud when the
’squires or doctors want to go out of town
once in a while he goes along and takes care
on ’em when they get back, if they can’t
of themselves. No, Mr. Lovell, you won’t.
find Jenkins or t’other fellcr in there, now I
tell you.” ' ' ,-
“Well, Jake, there’s another place over
across there on’ the eor‘ner, they may be
there.”
“Yes; I reckon you‘ll find ’em there;
that’s the spot where the old topers, and
niggers, and sailors. and some women go
too; that’s the spot.” * '
The building thus designated was occu-
pied asa tavern. It was a simple unpainted
edifice, with a bhement story and two
others above; a projecting roof-supported
by four pillars over the second, and the
whole constructed in an old-fashioned man-
ner. It stands yet where it stood then. but
changes have taken place in its outward up-
pearauce; it now shines forth in a new
white dress. and a sign 'conspicuous for its
oddity, calls wit the attention of the passers
by. It has changed proprietors too. lfnd
perhaps its character, though I know noth-
ing of what now passes within its walls.
Following the theciion of the negro, I
crossed the street and entered the bar room.
