Not many days had elapsed be- foreI observed a sudden change in the conduct of Gallagher; not towards myself, or my mother, but in his manner toWards Virginia. n; It was the day after I had heldthe conversation with her, that first noticed this. I noticed at the some time that her manner to- wards him was equally altered. The somewhat frosty polite- ness that had hitherto been ob- served betWeen them, appeared to have suddenly thawed, and their old genial friendship to become rc- pstablished on its former footing. ‘ 'They now played, and sang, and laughed together, and read, and chattercd nonsense, as they had been used to do in times past. .. ‘Ahl’ thought I, ‘it is easy for him to forget; he is but a friend, and, of course, cannot have the feelings of a brother.

I perceived that my mother also regarded this altered be- hayiour with surprise, and also with a feeling of a somewhat different kind-ISUSPICIOH. I could guess the reason of this. She fancied that they were growing too fond of each otherâ€"â€" that,.notwithstanding he had no for- tpne but his pay-roll, Virginia might fancy the dashing soldier for a husband. ’Of course my mother, having already formed designs as to the disposal of her daughter, could not calmly contemplate such a destiny as this, It was natural enough, then, she should look with a jealous eye upon the gay confidean that had'been established between them. I should have been glad if I could have shared my mother’s suspicions; happy if my sister had but fixed her affections there.â€" My friend would have been wel- come. to call me. brother. Fortune‘ less‘though he might be, I should have made no opposition to that al- ,liariCe. As days passed on, I fancied that Gallagher began to relapse into; a-more sober method.

I was waiting for him to make a disclosure, when the footfall of, a fast-going horse fell upon my ear.“ On looking up, I perceived a horseâ€"' man coming down the bank ofthe river, and galloping as earnestly as if riding a ‘ quarter-race.’ _ The horse was white, and, the, rider black; I recognised both at' a glance. Jake was the horseman. l I stepped out from among. the trees, in order that he should see me, and not pass on to the church that stood a little beyond. I hailed him as be advanced. ; He both saw and heard me; and abruptly turning his horse, . came galloping up to the spot where the old hunter and I were standing. He was evidently upon anger-l rand ; but the presence of Hickman prevented him from declaring it aloud. 'It would not keep, how- ever, and throwing himself from the 'saddle, he drew near me, and whispered ‘ it into my car. It was just what I was expecting, to hear â€"â€" Arens Ringgold was at the house. ‘ That dam nigga am th‘ar, Massr George.’ , Such was literally Jake’s mut- tered announcement.
