THE
Highwayman:
<?> i
He Was Fortunate In Being |

| By F. A. MITCHEL
"You're a bnd man. aud I'll huve!
j nothing to do with you."
"You're a One girl, and I'll never wed
j another."
i "Then you'll never wed at all. Divll
i take the highwayman that you are."
"It's a respectable calling, far better
titted for a gentiemau than letting bloou
| and shaving faces."
I This was inteniled for a thrust, for |
| In those days tlie barber and the doe- (
I tor were one and the same, and one of
| the craft was attentive to Margaret |
] Doyle. She made uo reply, aud her'
lover started agaiu:
! "Or the attorney who gets people j
! into the law aud bleeds "em."
"I might marry a surgeon barber.
J but never an attorney." said the girl,
j bridling.
"You'll uiarry a highwayman some!
day."
"I won't."
"You will."
"1 won't. I'd see him hanged before I
I'll marry one of thim ."
Willi that -she turned and went Into
the house. Hugh Uaunt rode away,
not lit e a lover who had been refused. *
but with confidence, lie knew the
girl loved him and believed she would I
not lie able for long to resist him. She
was the e 'lighter of a glovemaker.
while his father had been a soldier.
The trad.>:ian or iirumfaettirerof that
day ranked but little higher than the:
servant, whiio a man at arms was con
sidered eminently respectable The
profession of highwayman was what
li lias always been, outlawed, but was
not of -m !i low social grade as It is
today. In that lighting age a profes-1
sion involving danger was in better j
stalling t.itiii a menial occupation like
making g'oves or even an attorney, for
the ploviins;ker was but a common,
tradi -•'.nan. :nd. as for the attorney, he
was L.?'!er;i!!y considered a robber in
an underhanded way.
Iiut To;.i l'oyle. the glovetuaUcr, had
accumulated some property and was
beginning to live in better style than
one of his craft. He owned a horse
an I a wagon suitable to ride in and
kept a serving maid One night some
' MAKGARtl !tl COtiXIZED II1M DY MS VOICE.
| months a It it Hugh Gaunt'a couversa
1 tion with Margaret Dovle father and
daughter were returning from London,
where the former had heen to sell his
glow-*. with USO in gold when they
| were suddenly stopped ou the way
i by a masked man. who demanded
; | their money. The glovemaker could
; uot held flit looking into the mouth of
; a murderous weapon and surrendered
I his treasure, whereupon the robber
I rode off.
Xow. Margaret recognized him by
liU mice us Hugh Gaunt. But she
s:;id nothing of tills to her father, who.
h-d lie known who the highwayman
was. would have Informed upon him.
and the highwayman would have been
lirresud and hanged. Gaunt did not
k::i>w that he had robbed the father of
the sri-: he loved, for it was dark when
t!i ■ rubbery took place, and the next
tit • he rode by the house, seeing her
at the well, reined in and spoke to her
whli i- ' itidence.
"Good morrow. Mistress Doyle," he
, said
«1 "Good morrow, Mr. Highwayman."
~ was the reply.
"I'm thinking of taking up another
! occupation. The road is not paying.
|! I've t-ot nothiug for a month."
j "How about the £3U you tock Inst
[; week?"
| •'Hn!"
II "Perhaps yon consider £30 of no ac
count. It was much to me. for father
| J had promised to buy me a new gown
with part of it"
j The face of the highwayman at this
!• bit of information was a study, being
: n mingling of surprise and eonstcrna
j tlon.
j "How do you know it was I who rob
j bed you?"
I "By your voice."
I Gaunt took a bag from his pocket
and threw it down beside Margnret
It struck the ground with the clink of '
gold. Then he rodo away without a I
word. Margaret left the bag lying be- i
side the well, but later went out and
took It up. Counting its contents, she
fouud it contained more than 40
guineas. She placed what had been
taken froin her father in his strong
box und when he came in from Ms
work told him that the highwayman
who had robbed him. suffering from an
uneasy conscience, had returned the
amount. The rest she put aside to be
returned to Gauut.
But she did not see the robber again
for some time, and when she did he
was about to pay the penalty for his
crimes. He worked one region so of
ten that a certain bishop, despairing of
setting the government to rid the road
of him, undertook to do the job him
self. One night when It had been re
ported to him that Gaunt was in the
neighborhood he rode out in his car
riage in his canonicals, a blunderbuss 1
concealed in each of his (lowing sleeves.
Gaunt, who was on the watch for plun
der. seeing the carriage lights, rode up
to the vehicle and demanded the occu
pant's motley. The bishop, pretending
to hand him a wallet. Instead present
ed his blunderbuss and shot him In his
right shoulder. Gaunt fell from bis
horse, and the bishop, assisted by his
coachman, bound him hand and foot
and. placing him in the carriage, drove
to the nearest town, where they put
him in jail.
Gauut lay in jail till he recovered
sutiicieutlv from his wound to be taken
before a magistrate for trial. Short
shrift was made of his case, and be
was sentenced to lie banged, drawn
and quartered. The first Margaret
Doyle heard of his condition was by a
message from hiui announcing his cap
ture. his trial and the end that awaited
hi in. lie begged her to come to see
him once before he died.
.Margaret's heart was a very differ
ent member from her head. She loved
the highwayman, and the only reason
she had not married him was that she
did not respect his calling and dreaded
being left a widow, especially by one
who had died <>n the gallows. As soon
as she received the news of his condi
tion she went to see him. lie was no
longer the redoubtable man he was
wtaeu sitting on his horse bristling
with weapons, lie still suffered with
his wound and was thin and pale. Mar
garet's heart went out to him.
And yet she would not admit auy
other feeling than pity. She was a
steady girl and always, no matter how
trying the clrcuinstance, kept her head.
"Something must be done to save
you." she said.
"Nothing can save mo now," be re
plied despondently. "I have been tried
and sentenced. Only the king could
pardon rue. and 1 have no influence at
court."
"Could not an attorney help you?"
"I do not see how. He would only
take my money without preventing
the government from taking my life.
I have given those I have robbed a
"choice between the two. An attorney
gives no choice, lie takes tliat which
is of the greater value, his client's
money, leaving the government that
which is worthless, his life."
That was not the present day of ap
peals. stays, habeas corpuses and such
like legal protections for accused per
sons. but Margaret promising to see
the doomed man again, left him with
the intention of going to a notary as
the only hope. She was obliged to go
to London to do so and on arriving
there found a man of the law who of
fered to tell her a way by which she
might save the highwayman's life ou
payment of £li>0
Margaret procured tbe money and
exchanged it for liis Information.
All this cousumcd time, and she was
not in possession of the secret till the
dnv before Gaunt was to be hanged.
Returning as quickly as possible, she
reai-he»l the jail a few minutes before
her lover was led out to the gallows,
where a great crowd was waiting to
see him hanged. Looking at her wist
fully. he bade her farewell.
"I know a way to save you," she
said, "but 1 can't make up my mind
to It."
Ue gave her a look of appeal cal
culated to melt* any woman's obdura
cy and asked how it could be done.
"Maybe I can make up my mind to
it before you're swung off." she re
plied. "If 1 save you will you promise
to live an honest life forever after
ward?"
"I will."
When they reached the gallows and
all the preliminaries had been complied
with ihe hangman adjusted the rope
and was about to swing off the cul
prit when Margaret cried:
"Hold! 1 claim this man for my
husband."
The sheriff raised his hand to the
executioner to desist and. turning to
the crowd, asked if there was a judge
or an attorney present. The judge
who had tried the prisoner was there,
and the sheriff asked him if there was
any right in law in Margaret's de
mand.
"Yes." said the judge, "there is a law
of the land that if a woman will marry
a man condemned to death he shall go
free."
And so it was that Margaret and her
lover were married on the scaffold and
the crowd that had come to witness
an execution saw a wedding.
After all was over and the bride and
groom were at home tbe latter said
to his wife:
"Margaret, you said once that before
you would marry a highwayman you
would see him hanged."
"I did. I have kept my word. Had
you not promised to reform you should
have swung off for all me."
"And you didn't favor the man of the
law?"
"Vor do I now. rie saved your life,
but he charged £10Q.for doing it If I
could not have raised the money you
would have had to swing."
