Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1858-07-23

"You need not give yourself the troub
lie of calling for me, Uncle You know
was great incumbrance to you as W,
fIcame here, and impeded your movements
which you were constantly reminding m,
must be rapid; and as the same necessit,
for dispatch seems to exist now, | will no
be in your way second time; so 1 shall
remain here, and you may hurry on home
as fast as you please.
His face became almost livid with pass
ion at this open defiance of his authority
and her two companions awaited in silence
the bursting Of the storm that threatened
to annihilate the trail being upon whom
they expected it to expend its fury. But
he seemed unable to find words suitable
for the occasion, and only asked, in voice
that hissed through his closed teeth-'tDid
l hear you Alright, Jane?"
"You did, sir, if you heard me refuse to
accompany you home; and 1 will now add
that never again will enter your house
which has been, to me, place of ccaseess
torment,"
Whether it be paradise or HI,
you shall enter it again He exclaimed,
in phrenzy of passion. II will exer-
else my authority and carry you back, in
spite Of the base interference of those,
who, by their vile Misrepresentation, have
prompted you to this act of rebellion"
"Mr. Estelle !" said Mr.. Berne, placing
himself before him, in an attitude of calm
dignity. "I have heard more abuse from
you than 1 would have taken from any
other man, and much more than any gen
tleman would utter 1t gives me pain,
sir, to violate the laws of hospitality but
since you force me to do it, the blame must
rest with you. There, sir, is the door
leave this room, and never dare enter it
again while am its tenant. Do not say
a word, sir, or hesitate moment, for my
order shall be obeyed."
Mr.. Estelle, surprised, and oyerawed by
a bearing which left no room to doubt that
prompt action would follow disregard of
the order, left the room, without a word !;
but after getting out, gave vent to his ma
lignant feelings, in threats of direst ven
geance, and warned them all that the day
would come when they would repent, in
bitterness and sorrow, the indignity with
which he had been treated. The threats
were unheeded, however, by those against
whom they were directed, and they were
as little disturbed as if nothing unusual
had occurred But before they had time
to comment upon the incident, Messrs.
Motley and Eskridge presented themselves
to accompany the ladies to breakfast and
as they walked leisurely along towards
the hotel, Helen gave Mr., Motley an ac-
count of the foregoing interview with Mr.,
Estelle Mr.. Motley was exceedingly in
dignant at such conduct, and, turning to
WI. OeiHe, Sdlu
"I think sir, that Mr., Estelle must
cease, now, to be source of annoyance to
you, and you will agree with me when you
have read this document, which is copy
of John Estelle's last will. My father
it in reply to the letter which
wrote him at your request 1t appoints
you James guardian, and makes her the
heir of all the testators property, and in
case she dies without representative,
your daughter Helen becomes the heir to
he estate"
"That is most gratifying intelligence,
Mr.. Motley but how does it happen that
Mr.. Estelle is acting under this will, if
such be its provisions?"
n will explain. When John Estelle
Vas preparing to visit Europe, in search of
lealth, he made will, leaving his estate
o his daughter, on condition that she mar
led with Joseph Estelle's consent, and in
'ase she did not, then he was to be the
leir. This will was made under the i'm
'ression, created by his brother, that Jane
vas very imprudent girl, and was re-
olved to marry very worthless scamp
myself Subsequent to the making of this
will, the testator visited my father, on his
way to the seaboard, and from him, learn.
d the true character of Joseph Estelle
Then it was that he made this viii, revers
ng the main points, in the first, and the
easons for doing so are clearly set forth
lere, My father wrote the last will, had
recorded in Charlottesville, and forward

Winchester. Mr.. Estelle probably does

provisions of the first, hopes to get poss-
