Two hours later. Return we again to
the Banditti's Cave. Revelry still holds
high carnival among the able and efficient
bandits. A knock is heard at the door.
From his throne at the head of the table
the Chief cries, “Come in!” and an old
man, haggard, white haired, and sadly bent,
enters the cave.
“Messieurs,” he tremblingly ejaculates,
“for seventeen years I have not tasted of
food!”
“Well,” says a kind-hearted bandit, “if
that's so I expect you must be rather faint.
We'll get you up a warm meal immediately,
stranger.”
“Hold!” whispered the Chief in tones
of thunder, and rushing slowly to the spot;
“this is about played out. Behold in me
Red Hand, the Bandit Chief, once Clarence
Stanley, whom you cruelly turned into a
cold world seventeen years ago this very
night! Old man, prepare to go up!”
Saying which the Chief drew a sharp carving
knife and cut off Mr. Blinker's ears.
He then scalped Mr. B., and cut all of his
toes off. The old man struggled to extricate
himself from his unpleasant situation,
but was unsuccessful.
“My goodness,” he piteously exclaimed,
“I must say you are pretty rough. It
seems to me—.”

tale that will be published in the Plain
Dealer. The remainder of it may be
