From the Bowling Green (Ky.J Democrat.

From the Bowling Green (hy.) Democrat.
An interesting piece of intelligence
has been upOnthe air in Bowling Green
for some weeks, but we have hesitated
to give it publicity through the col
umns of the Democrat lest it might
prove to be too good to be true. We
have taken some pains to get at the
bottom of the glad news, and we find
that there is really a sound foundation
for it. It's all about an English for
tune coming to heirs in United States,
some of whom are our own neighbors
and dear friends. This is the true stO-
ry:
About eighty-five years ago Sir
Francis Drake, of England, left a large
estate to his American heirs. The
property has remained since then I'M
claimed, the heirs themselves being
definitely unknown. Seme fifteen
years ago information of the existence
of the unclaimed fortune came to the
family of brakes in Kentucky, Mid
die Tennessee, and Virginia, but no
clear steps were taken to establish
their claims upon it, and SO the mat
ter quietly rested. Some ten months
ago the subject gained new life, an in
vestigation was put on foot, and lines
of decent were carefully traced to the
great ancestor. That investigation has
led, with apparent certainty, to the es-
tablishment of the fact that the brakes
Of Middle Tennessee and their near kin
are the true heirs, and that there are
unclaimed in the bank of England one
hundred and twenty millions of dol
lars, to be divided among them.
Steps are being taken 10 bring this
whole matter to definite result, and
most gratifying information on the
subject has been conveyed to the
claimants within the past few weeks.
These facts we gather from one of the
heirs in this city; for we rejoice to
state that il the chain ofevidence, now
apparently complete, shall be unbro-
ken, we shall have several heirs to the
English fortune in the very midst of
us. Mrs. II. ID. Glenn, who resides in
the vicinity of Oakland station, in this
county, and her three sons, M. A.
Glenn, Il. J. Glenn, and +. o. Glenn,
OF this city, are direct and near de-
scendauts of Sir Francis Drake. This
fact is regarded as indisputable. Mrs.
Glenn is one of the oldest and closest
representatives of the original family
in this country, and several other
members of the family reside in Todd
county. in this State. Certainly this
is all very gratifying intelligence
There is not more estimable family
i'm this country than the Glenns. The
gentlemen of the name who are en-
gagged In business here are upright, in
teltigent, industrious citizens, and are
universally esteemed. They will be-
come very rich in the division OF the
English estate. their proportion rang
ing from three to four hundred thou
sand dollars each. Sincerely DO, we
hope that all they have such reasona-
BILE grounds To hope for will be rea-
lized, and that we shall see them soon
enjoying the prosperity which IS now
foretokened to them.

| which made him tremble again. 1t was
| the lofty and terrible countenance OI
| Mr.. Soden. One might have thought
| from the expression il wore, that the
seven last vials were in his hands, the
seven apOcalyptIc trumpets waiting
| for his lips, and the seven thunderS
sitting upon his eyebrows. The mo-
| ment that Walter saw him he smell
ed the birthstone on is own garments,
he felt himself upon the crumbling
brink of the precipice, with perdition
below him. Now | am sure that
Brother SodOms" were not made
wholly in vain. There are plenty of
l'mean-spirited men like Walter John
son, whose feeble copsciences need all
the support they can get from the fear
of perdition, and who are incapable
of any other conception of it than a
coarse and mateTialistic one. Let us
set it down to the credit of Brother
SOdOm, with his stock, his thunderOus
face, and his awful walk, that his in
fuence over Walter was on the side of
truth.
Please proceed, +" said Squire Haw-
kins to Walter. The SqUire's wig lay
on one side, he had forgotten to adjust
his eye, and he leaned forward tremu-
lous with interest.
Well, then" said Walter, looking
not at the court nor mt Bronson nor at
the prisoner, but fervently at Mr.. So
den-" well, then, if | must "-and
Mr.. SOden's awful face seemed to an
swer that 'he surely must" well,
then, l hope you won't send me to
prisOn"-this TO Squire Hawkins,
whose face re-assurcd him" but-Oh!
| don't see how can :" But one look
at Mr.. Soden assured him that he
must, and so, with an agony painful
to the spectators, he told the story in
driblets. How, while yet in Lewis
burg, he had been made a member of
a gang Of which Small was chief; how
they concealed from him the names of
all the band except six, of whom the
JOneses and Small were three.
Here there was a sCutfie at the door.
The court demanded silence.
DR.. Small's trying to git out,
plague take him." said Bud, who
stood with his back planted against
the door. "I'd like the court to send
and git his trunk afore he has a chance
to burn up all the papers that's in it."
" Constable, you will arrest DIR.
Small, Peter Jones. and William
Jones. Send two deputies to bring
Smalls trunk into court" said Squire
Underwood.
The prosecuting attorney was ST
lent.
Walter then told of the robbery at
Schroders, told where he and Small
had whitfield the fence while the
Joneses entered the house, and con-
firmed Ralph's story by telling how
they had seen Ralph in fcnce-cOrner
and how they had met the basket
maker on the hill.
" To be sure" said the man, who
had not ventured to hold up his head,
after he was arrested, until Walter be-
gan his testimony.
Walter felt inclined to stop, but he
could not do it, for there stood Mr..
Soden, locking to him like a messen-
ger from the skies, or the bottomless
pit, sent to eXtoru the last word from
his guilty soul. He felt that he was
making clean breast of it at the risk
of perdition, with the penitentiary
thrown in, if he faltered. And so he
told the whole thing as though it had
been the day of doom, and by the
time he was Through, SmalPs trunk
was in court.

CHAPTER XXXI,
THE TRIAL CONCLUDED,

I do not know how much interest
the "gentle reader" may feel in Bud.
With me, he is a favOrite. And l
venture to hope that there are some
Buddhists among my readers VINO
will wish the eontradictoriness OF his
actions explained. The first dash of
disappointment had well-nigh upset
him. And when man concludes to
throw overheard his good resolutions,
he ALWAYS seeks to avoid the witness
of those resolutions. Hence Bud, af-
ter that distressful Tuesday evening
on which Miss Martha had given him
1.-the sack" wished to see Ralph less
than any one else. And yet when he
came to suspect Smal's villiany, his
whole nature revolted at it. But hav-
ing broken with Ralph, he thought it
hest TO maintain an attitude of appa-
rent hostility, that he might act as a
detective, and perhaps, save his friend
from the mischief that threatened
him. AS soon as he heard OF Ralph's
arrest he determined to make Walter
Johnson tell his own secret in court,
because he knew that it would be best
for Ralph that Walter should tell it,.
Rud's telling at secondhand would
MOI be conclusive. And he sincerely
desired to save Walter from prison.
For Walter Johnson was the victim
of DIR. Small, or of DR.. Small and such
novels rs 1.-The Pirates Bride"
{" Claude Duval," 1.-The Wild Rover
of the West Indies" and the cheap
biographies of such men as Murrell.
Small found him with his imagina-
tion inflamed by the history of such
heroes, and opened to him the path TO
glory for which he longed.
The whole morning after Ralph's
arrest, Bud was working on Walters
conscience and his fears. The poor
fellow, unable to act for himself, was
.orn asunder between the old ascen-
dency of Small and the new ascend
ency of Bud Means. Bud finally
frightened him, by the fear Of the
