carried him out from the fiery grave to the dace where Mistress Corbet was on her knees praying God to help and shield her true friend. " tie laid him down on the ground beside her. First she looked at her guid man, and saw that life was in him yet, and next she looked up at her friend ; bub she could not speak a word. She saw that the hair was nearly burnt off his head, and his J/ift hand was scarred, so that it bore the /lark until the day he died. £he tore he Jf, o wn and tied a strip of it round his i Jfl. Then she got water from the well atibntlied her man's head and face, while t]i! bairn was oroodling on his breast. '* Outram got a horse and conveyed them five miles up the glen to a shepherd's bjgging near Loch Fey—he was obliged to hold Corbet in the saddle the whole road; an d there wa3 no speech passed between "But when he had seen them bestowed in the cot and was going away, the lady lifted up her bairn—a lassie, J ought to have toldyoa—and bade her kiss him. Tho wee thing put her arms round his neck and cuddled him, and he trembled Jike ft willow wand in a storm. Mistress Corbet stooped down with big tears in her c'en now and kissed his hand. ' God bless you, sir,' was all that she could "He went and looked at Corbet where ie lay, helpless and insensibl?, but begin ning to breathe in annturalway. '" He will live,' said Outram, stepping to'the door, 'and I hope you will be happy. Think on me whiles ; I am paying a high price for a kind place in your memory— and 1 am content.' " She did not understand then how high the price was that he was prepared to pay ; but afterwards she heard it all from my father. "To him Outram went as fast as he could, and founA him at the place where they had camped during the night. "'I promised to deliver tte traitor to you, Pitnu,' he said, as quietly as though there was nothing out of the ordinary in what he was doing, and J keep faith with you. lam he—there is my sword.' "He laid the sword down, and my father took it up, after stating at him a minute, fancying he was mad. "'I understand you/Pitna answered. 'I know what yon have done, and— although it was rash and perilous—damn it, sir, I think you acted nobly. Take back your sword ; I can keep a secret. " 'No,' said Outram, shaking his head, ' that would involve you in the penalty for my treason.' "He went straight to Cumberland himself, and the Duke received him gra ciously enough ; for his repute was high. " ' What is the penalty, excellency, for an officer under your command who aids a rebel to escape ?' he asked. "'Death!' cried the Duke, loud and fierce, " ' Then I yield to my fate, he said, and told him what he had done. " His Grace wa3 furious, and Outram was arrested. But his past services pleaded for him ; and President Forbes with other gentlemen, ofweight and whose adherence to the Governmentwas beyond doubt, joined in an appeal for clemency. The Duke had not the grace to applaud Outram's conduct, but he had discretion enough not to proceed to extremity iv such a case as this. So the only punish ment inflicted on Outram was the can celling of his commission, and that he did not regard as any loss. Jt[e',was liberated, and spent his days usefully at home.

Full particulars in a few days. The Auctioneers deem it almost unnecessary to comment on the above, but consider it sufficient to state, that the above includes the whole of the unsold portions of the Harbour Endowments fronting the above streets. The position commends itself as fast becoming the most business part of the city, and the stern fact presents itself that this is the last opportu nity that can possibly offer for the present generation, to procure, at anything like a moderate sum, a business site in the beat part of this city. The Auctioneers would also draw attention to the fact, that when the Beach Road to Parnell is completed, these allotments will front the main line o< traffic to the country dis tricts. The main station for the contemplated Waikato Railway will also be in close proximity, and must considerably enhance the value of land in this neighbourhood, and the length of term for which the Leases are offered, will.justify the Lessees in erecting substantial buildings with the certainity of realising substantial returns . 5 j
