Jude, crawling to the feet Of James, and pointing
to Milton.

pistol from his bosom, and deliberately aiming it
at old Loo, am I thus foled and thwarted |? but,
before his finger touched the trigger he was fell

Charlotte, sooner or laterp
Curse theeH exclaimed Milton, as he vainly
endeavored to break away from his bonds. Curse

sitting posture, he looked wildly about him then
broke out in the most lamentable strains of agon-
izing despair. oh unbind me just for one

Oh make haste
Two hours after, two carriages left the door OF
Millions residence. The first contained Claude

other carriage contained Dedrick and an aged
protestant pastor the latter person having beer
chosen by Loo to inform Julius and Elouise o.
their lamentable and unfortunate mistake. The
first carriage moved slowly towards the Jail; the
other, was driven rapidly up the road leading t.
the Deserted House. Our hero, James-as VIZ
