CHAPTER VI.
THE DREAM.
On the subsiding of a full freshet in a small
river in the then solitary wilds of the Far West,
but now a well-settled and highly cultivated sec
tion of the country, a group of the migratory in
habitants had assembled on its right bank, and
were impatiently waiting to be ferried over.
Among them were two horsemen, unencumber
ed with families or household stuff, who, on that
account, were the first to obtain a footing in the
rude and unwieldy scow. And as some "fix
ing" for the debarking of wheel-carriages had
to be attended to on the opposite landing-place,
Iho sturdy ferrymen pushed olT with their scan
ty freight.
"the two strangers, for such indeed they
seemed, as well to each other as to all around,
'after paying their fare, mounted and rode oil to-
irether alone the only path they could discover
'over the rolling prairie, which extended its des
ert loneliness in all directions, as far as the eye
'could reach.
"Do you think .tho Winnebagoes arc
out?" said the foremost of tho two travellers,
carelessly, after riding some time in silence, and
now only asking the question to break it ; but
not receiving an immediate answer, he turned
his head to scrutinize more minutely the ap
pearance of his unsociable companion.
In his figure he was tall and thin, but athlet
ic withal. His eye, which was deeply sunk in
his head, was dark and lowering, with a subdued
fierceness in it. which once might have been
fearful, and whose piercing and stealthy glance
conveyed a feeling of that disliko which is near-1
ly allied to hatred and disgust, as it gleamed ra-j
tlier than flashed upon the speaker from beneath
its shaggy brows. His face was of a pale and
ghastly hue, and the wrinkles upon it told more
of care than years.,
He was, in short, a man whose scieloy would,
be rather shunned than courted, even in the
desert.
The young man of bold and reckless bearing,
for such ho seemed, who-asked this question,
which had been superseded even in his own me
mory by far other thoughts, was instantly im
pressed with the idea that he hail seen his sullen-looking
companion before. When, or where,
or under what circumstances, he could not tell,
and a chilling sensation of horror, which he
could neither define nor repress, seemed inti
mately connected with it.
. And they rode on together for some time be
fore any iurther attempt was made by either
party to renew or rather commmence the con
versation. There are two (there may be twenty) extra
ordinary contradictions in human nature, both
of which were exemplified on the present occa
sion. The one is, that when a man feels it pe
culiarly incumbent upon him to be silent, he

solitary subject upon which prudence forbids
him to touch, this very subject, when he docs
speak, will inevitably be the topic.
Instead of answering the question put to him,'
the elder traveler asked another, evidently orig
inating in his own absorbing reflections.
"Arc you from Galena, may I ask'r1"
"I iim," was the prompt reply from his asto
nished companion.
"And may I inquire, in return," he continued,
"how you came to ask the question, since I do
not appear just now to be coming from that di
rection And he turned upon him, as he said this, a
more searching look than he had yet bestowed j
unon him. from which his companion seemed to.
shrink, but soon regaining his self-possession,
he replied with some commonplace remark a
bout the public attention being so entirely en
grossed with the rich lead mines lately discov
ered there ; and then another long silence ensued
which neither party seemed at all anxious to
disturb.

vulture-looking talons should clutch him in their

To account for this extraordinary rencontre
between young lieunet and his larther s mur-
derer, whom the reader, ere this, will have
identified with the two strangers it will be
necessary to refer again to the morning on which
Tom Smith was found drowned below the "force"
at lloscgill ford.
A short distance, below Dobson's shop, the
rivulet takes a sudden and abrupt turn to the
right, just where a beautiful cut stone bridge
now enables the benighted traveler to cross
with safety this mountain torrent in its utmost
fury. On the outs id 3 of this elbow of turn in
the brook, and consequently on its left bank,
there stood, at the period referred to, a small
lone cottaire, thatched with heather, with its
narrow and solitary window looking directly up
the stream, thus commanding a full view of the
cataract and the ford so often mentioned in this
true and faithful narrative.

The gav lijint of the morning had now suffi
ciently advanced to afford them a more perfect
view of the fray, when they recognised the two

and distinctly saw the latter and the

that beautiful morning, ami s.ruck loudly und
painfully distinct upon the ear; and wailing lor
the dead and unearthly oii en, too, in their ex-
'cited imaginations, were mingled in fearful con
.fusion with the sound.
The bright and cheering sunlight, when it
first gleamed upon the clean-swept hearth
through their solitary window, was pale and
They neither spoke nor moved, but continued
their fixed and unswerving gaze upon the ford

evotions. And as they appeared, from their
absent and confused manner, to look upon her
but they could not, they dare not, die with it.
.Its weight, they thought and felt, would sink
ithem to perdition. They might, however, put
i off the evil day on which they must divulge it,
and they did so, for a score of years. They
were now becoming very, very old. The grave
was opening before them. Yet, as the "silver
cord, although attenuated and stretched to its
utmost length, did not break last year, it might
not this. Thus they argued, and still they put
jit off, and might, perchance, have continued to
ido so till it would have gone down with them
into that land where all things are forgotten,
had not an accidental circumstance Lioiiglit u-
jbout what the old people considered even now
'a premature discovery.
I One day, as the old man was out on his
monthly round to sell his rushes and supply his
regular customers, as well as to hear and tell
the news of the parish, for he was the greatest
'gossip in it, he was asked by almost every one
.if he had heard that the Dobsons were going to
! America.
Now, the impression of some vague idea of
blood-guiltiness lying at his door, if he allowed
'the murderers thus to escape, or the annoyance
jthat news of such importance should have been

perhaps both circumstances combined together,

Two days after this, Sir Frederick V ,
the most active magistrate in ull that ncghbor
hood, was observed 10 cross the brook at Rose
gill Ford, and his servant was soon seen walking
to and lro before old Langley's cottage door,
with the reins of two riderless horses in his
hand. And that self-same evening one cf the
Dobsons was apprehended for the murder of
Tom Smith, some twenty years before, and
forthwith sent with a strong guard to the coun
ty jail, to await his trial at the next assize.

'the old Langleys could possibly have to do with
the case ; and how his surprise was turned into
ihorror and dismay, when they gave, as eye-wi -

whole transaction.
The prisoner, with such evidence ngaint
him, I need hardly suy, was found guilty und
paid the penalty of his crime blood for blood.
When on tho fatal scaffold, he acknowledged,
with every mark of real und sincere repentance,
the justice of his sentence. He guve, ulso, at tho
sumu time, a short account, not only of his own
other crimes, but those or the whole lamily, es
pecially of the murder of Jack Bennett by his
eldest brother, whom he stated to be, at that
precise period, wi

Jack Bonnet's son, now a full-grown man,
though quite a child at the timo of his father's
murder, was present at the execution, in hope
of hearing something that might lead to the dis
covery and conviction of the perpetrator of that
fearful deed, or at any rate to afford some clue
where-with to unravel the deep mystery in which
it was enveloped.

took place, and another to go to Liverpool to

When he arrived there, he could not find him
He thought that, perhaps, he might have been
so changed by labor and poverty,' by age and
sickness, and more than all, perchance, by the
ceaseless gnawing at his heart-strings of that
never-dying worm, a guilty conscience, that his
victim had been so much altered in hia. external
appearance that he could not recognise him, es
pecially as years on years had passed away since
Ir t he had seen him ; and he was quite correct
in his conjectures.
But fear and apprehension for his safety gave
to the guilty one a more accuto perception. He
saw and knew the av enger at once, and fled.
Young Bennet, after a fruitless search for
him among the mines, did not long remain.
It appeared, from a subsequent account of their
respective movements, that on leaving the mines
thev had taken different and circuitous routes.
both of which led to the ferry already mention
ed. They did not, however, arrive there to
gether, nor within a week or more of each oth
er; but James Dobson, who reached it first, had
to wait so long before the flood sufficiently sub
sided so as to enable him to get across, that by
that time young Bennet was also there.
Here Dobson, from some cause or other, did
not again immediately recognise his persecutor,
although he had certainly some misgivings about
his identity with his fearful avenger. Hence
his impolitic question, dictated by his grovelling
and cowardly tears, "JIrt youjrom ualena ! '
CHATTER VIII.
THE CONCI.U8IOW.
A few words will serve to wine up this fear-
ful but faithful history.
r rom the log hut of the new settler in the
Far Vt, where we left him, James Dobson
went out at break of day into one of those forest
patches with which those widely extended prai
ries are thinly dotted, and there shot himself.
The fatal shot brought yountr Rennet and his
host immediately to the spot, but loo late to hear
a single wordot conlession or repentance. I he
vital spark in the poor victim ot a guilty con
science when they reached him, was quite ex
tinct. Tliev buried him where he died, and as they
turned him, uncoffined, into his rude grave, they
could not help observing, at least young Bennet
could not, that his hands were bcsmeaied with
blood ; but now it was his own.
The youngest of the Dobson family, the
first sentinel at tho old Abbey, as the reader will
recollect, on that ominous and eventful night
which formed the culminating point in their fear-
lul history, who had been guilty ot no overt
act of felony, emigrated to this continent, and
became a successlul settler.
His poor old mother had long ago been hap
pily numbered with the dead. And his father,
bowed down with age and infirmity, and left
alone in his poverty, when ho saw that every
man's hand was against him, determined to come
to America to his rich and favorite son, the pet
of the family, to ask hiin for a morsel of bread
during the short time that, in the course of na
ture, he had to live.
He sold his idle looms, and did so. Rut the
sordid wretch refused to grant the trifling boon
he sought, and therefore he went home again,
or, rather, back to where alas I lie had no home
now no house to shelter him, even for the
short remnant of his days.
This cruel and unnatural conduct of .his son
had a serious effect upon his health, and he did
not long survive it. But how or when he diod
no one ever knew.
Long after he was missed as a wandering
