Frank Andrews, some half dozen wears af-
ter he had placed the house of Sheive nagar-
rev in mourning, repaired to the metropolis on

he contrved to fasten n quarrel on a linen dra-
per, whose sister he had insulted at the theatre,
and hurried the devoted tradesman by the 6rst
dawn of the day to the "twelve acres."H The
hour of retribution had come for man who ose
hand had never clasped before a deadlier ina

par accident, quarter ofan ounce of lead iHts

Well, though he fell in the lap of honor,
still the artistic who sped him was a linen dra-
per- that was certainly a sad drawback but,
if Mr.. Andrews eTn was not the thing, MIR.

Itwas gray Autumnal evening, when PEN.
berton, who had taken formal possession ofhis
uncle's house, was carrying two strangers
home to supper, whose acquaintance he had
made that morning at the fair Of town.
ltmay be here necessary to remark that R
had a natural brother TO whom he had been
generous and kind, and who had been often
overheard yowing eternal vengeance on tho
destroyer of his kinsman. He took his moth
er's name-was called William Hallignn, but
by the country people, was better known by
the soubriguet Of Liaume Vaddagh.t Eight
months had elapsed since R. was killed by
Pemberton, and people began to say that
"George was safely seated in his saddle."-

whisky never passed his iips-no indueement,
at fair or market, could rank him 10 faction

bewitched-but older men shook their heads,
and binted that the young Liaume Vaddagh,

| were right, for "Long William" only bode his
time, like the red Kirkpatrick, to "strike

change equally remarkable in his habits and
