land he wished TO purchase, the identical
farm of DAVIS.
should certify that the land was worth no
more, ur DAVIS asked IN see tho certificate
and after mCmCnt's examination unhes,is-
iingly pronounced the signature a forgery.
An explanation from the Dung man now
became necessary, and calling Lucy into
the RON. he told them his history and laid
before them pale Of patents and bank
notes. ono after another, I'LL the amount
reached thousands.
II was day Of thankful happiness TO Old
Simon DAVIS ami his daughter, and not less
~ TO young Wilson.
No, long after this scene Crosby entered.
His air was that Of a man who had an enc
my IN bis power and intends 10 irampc
upon him. lie scarcely noticed Wilson
except with a look Of contempt. After
pouring out all his malcdictions upon the
family he advised them TO leave immediate
ly. The old man inquired if he would give
him nothing for the improvements he had
made the answer was mot a cent You
certainly would not said Wilson, drive
out this old man poor and pennilesss into
the world /"
'Wha, is that to you, replied Crosby with
look Of malice and contempt. Il will
answer you that question, said Wilson, and
acquainted him with what the reader has
already learnt. Crosby, at frs, was stupc-
fed with astonishmcnt, blu, when he saw
that all his schemes of ,illainy were defeat

knees, and begged first the old man, then
Lucy and Wilson to spare him.
Affected with his appeals the latter agreed

lived, upon condition of his instantly quit

and with his fumily fed TO Texas.
Why should spin out the narrative -
Lucy and Charles were married, and though
n splendid mansion rose up on the farm of
Mr. DAVIS, both loved far better the little
room where she had so long and anxiously
watched over the sick bed Of the homeless
stranger Mr. Wilson was rich, but never
forgot those who were in want
Cheered by the kind and atfectonate at
tcntion OF his children, Old Simon Davis al
most seemed to have renewed his existence.
He lived many years, and long enough to
tell the bright-cyed son of Charles and
Lucy the story Of the FORGED DEED
And when he told the listening boy how his
father, when poor and fricndless, was taken
home and kindly treated, end in turn be-
came their bencfactor, he impressed on the
mind Of his grandchild, that seven a cup of
cold water, given from pure motive, shall
