Tur oLn tayra* ami* a m -picioji roA it* immatsm.
At tin* tun.- .if which we write, this Ial.m<j Metropolis,
the foien.usl city Ut Aiueiira, au in it* swaddling cl-,tin *
| —a biilrli tall), small and weak, but ol great promise_
| ami tsar the good old name ol New Aruslerdain . The
Uutcb West India Company held ilic charter, and William
Kieft was the Go vet nor of the (VL.ny. The Indians were
settled on all bands ol the Dutch adventurers; and under
all the circumstances ol the Urn. ., it is a wonder that there
• ete not more troubles than tin re were. In the dark
night the watchmen ol the pale-la, es, who chanced to
stmd upon sn eminence, could turn his gate in no direc
tion without met tn g the dtui light ol the Indians' camp
hre. And soon all bands, save to the se*-bo*rd, the fires
stretched away—from vale to Tale, and from hilt to hill
like beacon lights ol a great nation, bounded ohIt by the
wave-huhed shores of the continent.
Thus ware the affairs ut New A luster, lam at the time
when our story open*. Some noble men had settled there,
and they had brought their virtue* with them ; but ba.i
men had come too; and to vioe and crime rested their
hydra-heads m contrast.
It Was s calm, pleasant dav in July, in the Tear 1640.
Close by the head of what is now known asCoenties slip,
stood the city tavern of New Amsteisiam. It was a plant
wooden building, roofed with bark and sUaw, with a sort
ol girden in Iront, within which Naunetle, my good hos
tess, had supposed only flowers would spring up; but at
the pn-aetit tune she was not a little surprised to observe
that where the had planted a “Queen’s dsisv, a huge
pumpkin vine had made its appearance, and in the prettv
bed* where she had *vt her peouamots rhe hail the morti
fication to see young cabbages springirg up on all hands.
Ah—the good old burgher and host, Jacob Van Uer Douck
had an eye to the profits of that bit ol ground. And
there he stood on this pleasant July day, with his hands
clasped behind him, and his pipe in bis mouth, compla
cently viewing the result of his gardening. He was a abort
round Irodicd man, some forty years ol ago, with a broad,
humorous face, and a calm sly twinkle ol the small grey
eye, which denoted shrewdness and good nature when
needed, and which at the same time seemed to indicate
that he could be very severe if occasion should requite.
I >11 utr uouri, uueieu nu wile, approaching
him unobserved, aren't vou a pattern of sweetness and
love*"
"Good Nannette," returned Jacob, with a smile, “it
gives me pleasure to answer such questions when put by
your own sweet lips. Iam."
“Yea—you are ! 0—yes. Ot course you are. It was
very kind of you to pull up ray flowers and plant these
cabbages, and pumpkius, and turnips, was’ut it * Very
kind!"
■‘Certainly. What do we keep tavern for ? It is to see
flowers? No it's to feed the hungry—and what better
sigu. than food growing directly in front of ourhouoe?_
Plant thv flowers in pots and set them in the window, and
thou ahalt see them often, for I swear thou are olteuer at
the window than anywhere else."
Nannette did not reply immediately, for the could not
quickly make up her mind whether to be angrv, or to
laugh at her husband's wit. She was Flemish oorn, and
ill exceeding good nature, and moreover, loved her liege
lord with strong affection. However, she had just made
up her mind to smile, and await her tum to put back the
joke, when a person in the street attracted her attention
to such a degree that she at once forgot the cause of dis
pute with her husband.
“Look Jacob," she whispered, starting close to her
companion s side. There is Casper Geldorp agsin, watch
ing our house. \\ hat cau he wa.it ? He was here yes
terday in the same way, and so, too, on the day before. I
don’t like it"
The host turned as his wife spoke, and he saw Geldorp
standing upon the opposite side of the street, and seem
ingly intent upon gazing into the second story windows of
the tavern; but the latter as soon as he saw that he was
noticed, moved quickly away, and was soon lost to sight
by the turn of the street.
“Nannette,” spoke Jacob.after some moraentsof thought,
“that looks suspicious. What can we have to call him
watching around here?"
“That's what I'd like to kuow," responded the good
wife, with a shade of doubt upon her features. “If the
governor did his duty he would’ut be peeping around hon
est people’s houses."
Alter this the worthy couple turned the mselves to
thinking, arid at length Jacob said—
“Casper Geldorp iloea'nt come here for nothing—that's
certain.”
“Ah! what can it be, Jacob? He was watching the
chamber windows," added the wile, with a touch of new
intelligence in her tone. "And now 1 remember," she
continued, with her head bent in thought, “that he was
looking in the same direction yesterday."
"Then he may be watching our new guesta."
“I think so, Jacob."
“And if he is watching them, it can't be for any good"
continued the host, thoughtfully.
“Nobody ever heard of Casper Geldorp’s doing any
good yet," the wife returned, quite emphatically.
“True—true,” uttered the host, at the same time think
ing hard. “True, Nanette. He is only up to crime and
niischiel always; and it he has his eye fixed particularly
upon anybody, it must he for evil. He's surely got his eve
fixed now upon Van der Veer. Van der Veer is our gue.-r,
and we must warn him. I'll to our guests at ouce, and it
there is danger they shall know it."
Within one of the chambers of the City Tavern—for so
the humble inn was called—sst Peter Van der Veer. He
was a well lortned roan, with a frame of medium sire amt
dressed in a garb which betrayed both wealth and good
taaie. In years he waa past the first half century oTlife,
and the silver touches were thickly sprinkled upon his
head. His features were regular and well defined, mark
ed by a strong cast ol intelligence, and softened by the
light of kindness and humanity. He had been for some
years engaged in the Dutch East India trade, and had
amassed much wealth. Cloee by him at one of the win
doas which overlooked the perverted garden and the
street, sat his wife, Theodora. She was small in frame,
aith light hair and blue ryes, and retained much of the
beauty ot her youth. She had besn one of the moat beau
tiful maidens of Amsterdam, and she was now one of the
handsomest matrons of the new town. She was not far
from fifty years of age, though most people thought her
younger. >he was a warm hearted, gpnerous woman, and
ureJed only to be known to be loved. Though she had
only been a month in Sew Amsterdam, yet she had made
some warm friends where most people more readily make
enemies. She had taken two sick Indiana to her own a
partments and nursed them, and In-stowed upon them
food and clothing, and the result was that all of the ted
men of the same tribe knew her and loved her.
There was one other person in the chamber, preparing
to leave it—Willem Van der Veer—the only child the
old merchant and hia wife had left to love and care for.—
He was near SI year* of age—tail, stout, and well built,
with light brown hair and deep blue eyes, and well versed
in all the athletic sports of the time. And hia mental
education was good, too. lie had learned all the myste
ries of trade, and made much proficiency in scholastic
hue, and had thought some of accepting a place in the
University of Ain-terdam, when bis parents concluded to
move to America.
As W iitiam want out, Jacob came in and closed the
door twhind him, and then stood for aunt moment* as if
undecided what neat to do. He twilled his huge hat
upon hia hand, and gated first upon the merchant and
then upon the lady.
•• You will pardon me,” he said at length, turning to
wards the old man ; " but I thought I ought to coins and
anpiaii t you with a circumstance which iny wife and my
self have noticed 1’erhaps yon have seen a man stand
ing on the opposite side ol the street, who seemed to be
watching your windows.”
" Mr son noticed a man." returned Van der Veer, but
liefore I reached the window he w*a gone; and he told
me he saw that same man in the same piece Teeter
day."
" Yes, Sir," resumed the hoet, speaking more freely
now the! he observed bia guest was interested, "My wife
saw him yeaterday and the day before, too."
" How Waa he watching my window# on both thoae
occasions
" Ye*, Sir; and Sennette didn’t liko the looks of It, nor
did I either. The fellow isn't one who would be likely to
l>e after much good, and We thought it right you shoul I
know."
"Of course—of course," said Van der Veer. •• And
vet I don’t hardly think that any one would mean any
harm to ine, unless they imagine I have conaidereble
money by me, and wish to steal it."
"Ah' I didn’t thinh of that," uttered the hoet. "Yea,
yea, he’s just the mao for that work. If any man in New
Amsterdam wonld rob a helpless traveler, or steal the last
silrer from Its slrrping owner, then I do really believe
Ue«per (Jrldorp ie that men "
"(Jrltttrp '—Coiner Utldnrp •" etelaimrd the mer
chant, starting to hi* feet end moving nearer to hia hoat.
"' \\tptr Gtl<i'*rp m gasped Madame Van der Veer
turning pale as death and trembling fearfully.
"Yes—I said Casper Oehlnrp," returned Jacob, gating
with astonishment upon the old merchant and his wile.
"How old a man is he T thr guest aaked.
"I should say not far from fifty."
“And how look# he J"
"lie looks villainously, air. Hi* frame it stout; hi#
lace dark and ugly . and hia eyes like snake's eyes."
"And does he halt in his step*"
"Aye—that he does ; and most ungainly, too. Hia right
is shorter then it* mste,"
“Doe# he Kve here In Xew Amsterdam *" aaked the
merchant, who had now become cttraiualy amtoua and
tienulmta.

Tour abundance of mean*, *ee fit to bestow of your
bounty upon me and my good Nannetle, we shall not re
luse it."
For some time after their boat had gone, the merchant
and his wife remained silent. They were both deeply
moved, and seemed anxious and uneasy. Van der Veer
look several turns up and down the room, and finally
stopped in front of life wife.
“ Theodora, " lie said, in a low, hushed tone, which
seemed to hare been aasuinerl lor the purpose ol keeping
hack hut own fears, T did not think we should find that
man here. I had hoped—or, at leaat, I had thought—lie
might he dead. And yet 1 know not that we hare any

*•1 don't know," responded the wife; “but why should

"True, true,” added the old man. “But vet,” he con
tinued, assuming a hopeful smile, “we will not b« under

And so the matter rested for tho while But the worthy

They could not Uanfeh the simple fact that they hid oc

Peter Van der Veer brooded over the strange circum
stance of Casper fieldorp'a appearance for a long wt.ile,
and the more he thought of it the more firm he became in
the conviction that some evil was hanging over him. He

One who has dangerous secrete at stake mar feel, but the
dread which la-tens upon the mind ol a defenceless man
in the presence ol a cruel enemy. On the day following
the events recorded in the preceding chapter, the old mer
chant resolved to wrtch for himself and see if be could
detect the enemy. Accordingly, after he had eaten hia
break last, he took his station in one of the lower rooms of
the inn, and there he watched all the forenoon ; but ho
sew nothing of hia evil genius. In the afternoon he walk
ed over to the fort, where he remained a couple o! hours,
and as he was coming out he saw a man passing along the
street towards the tavern. From the garb and genetal
appearance ol the stranger, he thought it must be Gel
dorp, so he crossed over, and having drawn the rim of
tiis hat well down over his face, and pulled up his van
dyke, he followed on. The man slackened hia steps as ho
approached the inn, and Van der Veer saw that he was
watching the upper window* of the building. The old
man saw the southern gate open, and having Lurried over
and entered that way, he gaiued a position behind some
shrcbbery by the lence, where he could not only watch
the movements of the suspected man, but where he could
get S good view of his face. It waa close by the corner
ol the inn.
Geldorp, for be it was, had now stopped behind s Urge
button-wood tree, where he no doubt Uucied he should
be free fiom observation, and there he stood and watched
the windows. \ an der Veer had no more doubts con
cerning the identity of the man, for he recognized in those
dark features the face ol the enemy he he j feared. For
half an hour Geldorp remained at hia post, and during that
time he kept hia eyes fixed quite steadily upon the inn.
At length the front door waa opened, and William Van
der Vere came out. The youth gazed around a tew mo
ments and then suited up the street toward the compa
ny’s laria. The moment Willem made hia appearance,
Geldorp was on the alert, and ere the former had moved
many rods, the dark man started to follow him. The old
merchant would have called upon his son to come back,
but he wished not to attract the attention ol the other, so
he cUmbered over the fence and followed along after them
determined on no account to lose sight ol the youth while
Geldorp was near.
Willem had come out simply for a walk, and as be saun
tered along, musing upon the peculUr circumstances by *
which he was surrounded, he heard s hesvy footfall be
hind him, and on turning he beheld the very man whom
be had noticed the day before gazing up at the windows
of his father's room. He did not like the looks of the
dark, coarse features, and he would have hurried on to
get out of the way, but just at he started to quicken hia
pace the man addressed him.
After indulging in a few commonplace, though imper
tinent remarks, to which the gentle youth vouchsafed
very brief replies, the intruder stated that he had lived ru
Amsterdam, and knew bis (Willem’s) father.
“Might I ask your naaie *" ventured the youth.
'•<)—certainly,” said Geldorp, with a slight show of hes
itation. “My name is Bronk—Cornelia Bronk.”
Willem was not so blind but that he saw the room for
doubt which the man's manner opened to him, and the first
impression he received was, that that was not the individ
ual’s real name.
"Yes, yes," resumed the strangcV, assuming a very fa
miliar air, "I remember your father verv well; are you hia
only child r
Willem could see no harm in answering these simple
questions, so be did not hesitate.
A short silence followed, and then (ieldorp resumed—
“I-et's see—if I remember rightly, jour mother's name
is Theodora.
"It is," answered Willem.
“Well—I must make it io. my way to call in and see
your parents when I can spare the time. I suppose they
will remain at the tasem some time yet."
Willem said be thought it very likely, and then, ss they
had reached a point where a narrow alley turned of! to
wards Mill-street, Geldorp remarked that his way lay in
that direction, and haring bowed very politely he turned
off. The youth gazed after him for a while, and would
then hare kept on, hut he heard hit name pronounced by
a familiar roice, and on turning be saw his father. He
joined the old gentleman at once, and related allihat had
passed betweeu himself and the tnan who bad just left
him.
. "I didn't like hia looks at all," be said, at the close of
his account. “He Is the same man who stood so long in
front of our windows yesterday, and I am sure he did not
giee me his right name."
“He did not, my son." returned Van der Veer, after
they had turned their steps homeward. “His real name ta
Casprr Geldorp. and I'm surs he means us some eril. You
must beware of him, and keep rour eves open."
“But why do you think so f" the'youth sskrd, with
some surprise. "What is he to you or you to him, that
be should do thus!"
"Why," replied the old. man, with some hesitation,
“many years ago I had some dealings with him, and in
consequence of his dishonesty it became necessary lor
me to expose him. He tried hard to injure me then, and
I am sure he would readily do it again."
Willem knew from his father’s manner that there was
more than this, hut he also knew that nothing would h«
kept from him which it was for his interest to know, so ha
asked no more questions.
When they reached the tavern the fsther and son went
fo their room, where Madame Van der Veer tat, and there
the three talker) the matter over. Willem was sorely
tempted to ask some explanation of certain things which
he saw. He would hare known why his motlirr was so
deeply moved at the recital of Geldorp’s interview with
himself, and why she trembled so at the hare mention of
his name ; but ha contented himself with hearing what
was said, and thus he learned that there might be occa

Mr Van der Veer had been thinking of hiring a ser
vaut, and he resolved now that he would do so at once._
He concluded to engage the services of toms shrewd,
faithful fellow, in whom he could confide, and who could
help him. physically, in the hour of nerd
“I will go at once," he said to his wife and son, “and
secure the man if such an one ran bs found. I shall let
no one outside know that he is my servant. If I can corns
across the one I should like, ha may be of great smist

“If, on trial, he prove* to Ire such s man aa I want, I

The secretary thought awhile, and then told the old
man to call in the morning.
