grizzled reprobate, Ned Davidge, with
yolley of reproaches. He started At ono,
notwithstanding the lateness of th,
hour-to hunt up captain Merrivale
whom he found just returned from {
convivial party, with all his passions heat
ed by wine to excess of madness. Lou6
voices were shortly afterward heard in
alteration from the direction of the Ii.
brary; sudden crash of glass, the fall O,
q body, and then all was silence.
Next day the papers rang with the
news OF the assassination Of captain Fran
chs MarTivale. t = ..1
As it was known that Lawrence Ashton
had quarreled with the captain in regard
to love affair, the former was arrested
and charged with the murder. Not only
that: he was tried and sentenced, and
would probably have been hung, not
withstanding the prayers and entreaties
of Martha: but at this juncture, it so
happen that Davidge became involved in
midnight broil with some boon compa-
mons, and was served precisely as he had
served Merrivale, only that instead of q
decanter, he was slain with dirk.
Before dying he confessed his grievous
sin, disclaimed the paternity of Martha,
whom he had taken from Ednappers
years before. and conveyed to her the
property he had received as bribe from
Merrivale. -..
But this boggy tract, once so valueless,
was now fully within the new r ark i'm
provement: and an opportune offer being
made to Martha, she found herself elevat-
ed to position of affiuence; and wedding
the object of her choice, entered at once
upon an unclouded career of prosperity
and happiness.
