lately had her dinner stolen. No
clue could be obtained of the thief,
although it was sought with tears.
Finally mild plan was hit upon. A
tempting doughnut with filling Of
cayenne pepper was placed in her
pail, and the result watched. Before

enough of the structure saved to take

The Walworth Tragedy.
Another StOry-Disgrace from
the Beginning. 1s..3

Mansfield Tracy Walworth was
thrown into the society of his step
sisters, after his fathers marriage to
the widow of Col Hardin, and with
out the idea occurring to their seniors
that they would ever dream of being
anything nearer to one another than
brother and sister. Mrs. Walworth
was strict Catholic, and the marriage
between the young people would have
been extremely distasteful to her,
since, in the views of the church, this
relationship by her new marriage was
such as to forbid the forming Of clos
er ties; but the young people knew
nothing of these ecclesiastical regula.
tions, and cared little for aught save
themselves, and SO grew to love each
other strongly, so deeply, indeed, that
the passion after a while obscured
their reason. Then they secretly
pighted their troth to each other,
and took up the relation of man and
wife. A few brief months of wild
happiness followed. AS was inevita-
bic, the secret exposed itselfwhen the
betrothed wife was evidently about to
become mother. Then a scene of
recrimination followed. The young
couple made the excuse that they had
promised themselves to each other,
and recognized one another by solemn
words of agreement between them
selves as man and wife, and that this
agreement according to civil law, was
marriage. There was then but one
resource left, and that was to make
the best of an unhappy passion, and
unite them by formal ceremony of the
church. To this cheerful assent was
given, and it. was accordingly. done.
The marriage that had become ne
cessity was formally solemnized, and
three months after, Frank FL. Wal
worth was bor1i.a AS might be ex-
pected, when the passion cooled the
couple looked upon each other with
changed eyes, and each came to think
that their choice would have been
different had they not been thrown
together in a common household.
Hence it happened that they quarrel
ed and finally separated. Each was
jealous of the other, and each despis
ed the other for youthful weakness
and indiscretion. Letters passed
between them, containing recrimina-
tions, and some of their strange mis-
sives came into the possession of the
young parricide. Taunts upon his
mother angered him, and there is rea-
son to believe that he totally misun-
derstood the reflections made on the
subject of his own illegitimacy. He
thought his father reflected on his
mothers chastity after marriage.
Fired with false chivalry, he did not
stop to question his mother, and the
mother had naturally concelled her
weakness from her son.. It was
enough for him that slur had been
cast upon, her name and his own.
He took his fathers life, and thereby
published his mothers early frailty to
the world. Her best friends lament
this more than the murder for which
her son is imprisoned.
The correspondent says: This
story is freely canvassed by all the
residents of Saratoga, where the mar
rage caused great scandal at the
time. 1t accords with what 1 know
about the history of the Walworth
family. -
