WAYLAID.
“Chip you’d better start at onca
Don’t be on tint road after dark with so
much money about you. ”
The \t imlow \i as high from the
ground, and the disreputable looking
* tramp who had entered the garden
heard Mr. Stock well's remark, and
Came to a stop on the gravelled walk.
Neither Mr. Stockweil nor his trusted
clerk. Chip Ferris, saw him as he half
crouelied I eueatli the open window,
from which place their tones were
plaiuly audible,
Mr. Stockweil had the largest grocery
in Lebanon, and Chip Ferris, thougl
only seventeen years old, was his right
hand man.
lie owned another grocery in Miildale,
a thriving little village only eight mile.-*
away, and Chip had just been directed
by him to go over and collect the
mouth’s receipts from the man in
charge.
“ ieli Hanley I*ll be lit Miildale to set
him ji.at as soon as I can get out of the
house," said Mr. Stockweil, who had
been overcome by his old enemy, the
rheumatism. “I’ve instructed him in
the note to turn o* er tiie collections to
you, and if any slock is needed he can
■et you kuow. ”
The mau at the wiudow did not wait
to hear more, but went noiselessly to
the gate, all thought of begging re
moved from his mind.
A companion, as ragged and vicious
looking as hiuisnlf, stood waiting for
him some distance down the street.
“ Wiiat kept you so long ?" he grow led.
“Any luck?” 1
“1 should say so," was the response.
“You didu’t get any niouey, did you ?"
“No, but we'll soon have plenty if we
manage things right, ”
And he proceeded to confide what lie
iiad overheard, whereat the othei
worthy’s eyes glistened.
“Well, that is luck, and no mistake,"
he said. “If he’s only a boy, it wUI be
as easy as rolling off a log. Tliere he
cotnee now. ”
At that moment. Chip Ferris was clos
ing Mr. Stock well’s gate.
He walked down the street in the
direction of the two men, giving them
no more than a casual glance as he
passed by, for tramps were uo rarity in
Lebanon.
“Those fellows are pretty rough look
ing customers,” he thought, “It’s a
wonder the coustable hasn’t got them.“
It was 3 o'clock then, and he went to
the stable iu the rear of the shop and
harnessed.tbe horse to a light vehicle.
The drive to Miildale was a pleasant
one, and Chip enjoyed the prospect of it
exceedingly.
About a mile from town, resting un
der a leafy tree by the roadside, were
tiie two tramps he had seen some time
before.
“Hello!” he said to himself. “There
•re those fellows again. I wonder what
they’re up to now. ”
He passed by in a-cloud of dust, and,
looking back, saw that an animated con
▼ersation had suddenly sprung up be
tween the two,
Somehow Chip got it into his bead
that they were talking about him.
“They can’t know about the money,
of course,” lie said uneasily. “Such
men look evil enough to do anything. ”
When he reached Miildale lie was dis
appointed to learn that Mr. Hanley had
gone into the country to look at a colt
that he had thought of purchasing.
The money was locked up in the safe,
and "be bad the key with him, so that
there was nothing for Chip to do but to
wait for bis return, which he did with a
good deal of impatience.
It was nearly six o’clock, and the sun
was far down in the west when Mr.
Hanley came back, and Chip lost no
time in transacting with him the busi
ness on which he bad coma
“Better stay with me to supper,
Chip," said Mn Hanley. "There’ll be
a moon at 8 to light you back. *
“No, thank you, “ said Chip. “I don’t
want to be out late with this money.
FU jmt take some bread and cheese
with me. *
He bade Mn Hanley good by, and
giving his horse the reins, was soon go
ing at a right smart pace through Mill,
dale, until the last of the straggling
houses at its outskirts was left far be
hind.
The sun sank behind the distent blue
hills and twilight name on.
“It wou’t be long new before it's
dark,” said Chip “I hope I won’t meet
those tramps again. They’d stop me in
e minute if they thought I had so much
money about as *
As the tight faded he grew more nerv
ous, and, with sm idea in Rj heed, he
reined in the boiae to carry it out, first
looking around to satisfy himself tbat
bo one was in sight.
Ip his pocket was a copy of the vil
lage paper, which he oarefully tore into
strife the size of t>ank notes.
He selected from the roll of notes Mr.
Hanley lisd given him four of the least
valuable, and wrapped them around the
stripe, placing them in his pocket hook.
The money he hid in one of lib slkmxm
“Perhaps 1 am overcautious " he told
himself with a smile. “Those 11 eu have
likely taken another road; but if they
should try to rob me this bogus roll may
fool them."
He wa* half way home when he came
to a large tract of woods, through \\
the road passed for some distance.
The thick foliage of the overarching
trees shut out the light, and the road
was so bad that Chip was obliged to lei
the horse walk.
There was an absurd story, which had
long been current, of a headless horse
man who api>eared in these very woods,
and Chip could not help recalling it
with a shudder, iu spite of it* utter im
probability.
Suddenly the horse shied, and the
startled loy caught sight of the two
dark figures lying in wait at the side of
the road.
The horse gave a leap forward, but a
hand seized tiie bridle aud swerved the
aniiuul to one side so that the vehicle
was nearly overturned in -the deep rut.
you don't, youngster," a gruff
voice said “Just you give up that
money you got at Miildale, or it will go
hard with you."
"How do you know I got any money?''
asked Chip, with a fast beating heart,
for he saw the gleam of a revolver that
w as in the man's hand.
“Noue of that,” replied the rascal an*
grily. “You must give it up, that’s all.
If you don’t you will never drive this
wagon again."
Chip took his pocketbook out with
trembling fingers, aud the man greedily
snatched it from him.
“You’ll let me go now, won’t you?"
the boy pleaded
“Not much!” said the robber coolly.
“Get out of that vehicle, and don’t
waste any time about it. Do you hear
me?”
With shaking limls Chip obeyed, and
submitted to a thorough search of his
pockets, after which he wus bound, with
his arms behind In u, to a tree.
“There, I fancy that’ll do, ” said the
man with a chuckle. “Turn the
vehicle rouud, Bill, aud let’s be off. "
“Are you sure you’ve got all?" his
Companion asked
“Yes,” was the reply. “If we hadn’t
used up all the matches trying to get a
light for our pipes I’d count what wus
in the pocketbook. ”
The two rogues jumped into the ve
hicle and drove < IT in the direction of
Miildale, leaving Chip straining and
tugging at the rope that bound him.
His fear that the robbers would re
turn w hen they discovered the deception
that had been practiced upon them made
him almost frantic, but all his efforts to
free hiinseif were in vain.
Helpless and exhausted he awaited
the outcome, turning pale at every noise
that he heard in the woods.
He w as as brave as any ordinary boy,
bat bead* of perspiration w ere on hie
brow and his hair al 1 ost stood up on
end when at length he heard the omin
ous sound of wheels drawing near.
“Good gracious! * he said, iu terror.
“It’s they; and ihey’ll kill me. ”
Nearer and nearer came the sound,
and then, as the vehicle passed by, there
was a sudden transition iron* de.-pair to
hop?.
“Stop!” cried Chip wildly. “11-lp,
help!"
“Who is it?" a startled voice called
back. “What are you doing there I"
“li’a I—Chipmau Ferris, "said the boy.
“Two meu, who tried to rob me, hav*
tied me to a tree. ”
He heard some one alight, and tli -
next moment loolaleps came crashing
toward him.
Chip was overjoyed to recognize M .
Bolton, a farmer well known to him.
“How did you come to get iu such a
fix, Chip ?” lie asked, as with a few cuts
of liis knife he released him from his
uncomfortable positiou.
Cmp explained to Mr. Bolton how he
had been waylaid, aud the farmer said
indigjiantly:
“The villains! They must have taken
the road to Ma deu, for I didu’t pass
them. “
Just as they were getting into tiie
