There was residing in the same wis

physician, twenty-eight or thirty
years of ags-Dr. Macon-vho for two
years had been ardently in love with
the daughter. She had toyed and tri-
fled with him during all that time; but
he had finally insisted upon decided
answer to his suit, aud on that very
evening he was coming to learn his
fate. As be approached the house he
overheard the voices Of mother and
daughter engaged in close conversation,
and drawing near TO the window and
meaningly listening, he had obt lined
tuil possession of the terrible secret OF
Mrs Blake's life. Madly in love, and
utterly INSCRIPTIONS, he at once deter.
mined to make any use which might
be necessary of his newly acquired adj
vantage to secure the hand o. Hester.
On that very evening Dr.. Macon was
engaged to take tes with Mrs. Blake
and her daughter; but their old house
keeper returned from the village with
the intelligence that q shocking rail.
road accident had occurred in the vicin-
itv, and the Doctor had fastened of to
the assistance OF the wounded.
On the return OF DR.. Macon be called
upon Mrs. Blake and surprised her with
the information that among the hurt
was Armand Landry, mortslly injured !!
He was accompanied BY his daughter,
the halfssister OF Hester. and she had
been stunned by a blow on the head.
The were both living at farm house
, near BY, aud Mr.. Landry, knowing that
he must die, had requested that Hester
! should visit him the next morning, that
he might inform her Of the pecuuiary
provision which he had made for her
support. -,
And now was concocted one Of the
most fiendish plots ever devised By the
human mind. 1t was suggested by
Mrs. Blake, and acquiesced in BY Dr..
Macon and Hester, that the hslf-sister,
who was still unconscious, should be
kept in q state OF imbecllity by drugs
which the Doctor should skilliully ad-
minister to her for that purpose, and
Hester-whose resemblance to her was
80 close as to defy detection-should
usurp her place as heiress OF the in
mense estates entailed upon the half
sister through her mother.
The inducement to DR.. Macon was
Hester's promise. on the accomplish
ment of the scheme, to become his
vie.
But when Hester came to resd over
