cut to pieces, that Undertook had bur
lei, the detectives resurrected. and
Undertook was arrested on the charge
Of murder. He was tried, convicted,
aud hung three or four years ago at
Westchester, Pa.
When the father learned that he was
a relative Of the infamous Undertook,
he forbade him to come 10 his house,
or his daughter to have anything to do
with him. Then commenced in the
young woman the strange workings of
the poisonous insane blood; then com
menced i'll the young man. who had
before borne an irreproachable charac-
ter, a career of dissipation that led him
gradually downward. The old man,
seeing that his daughter was on the
verge of plunging into the terrible abyss
where reason is lost, and there is nought
but the darkness of insanity, determin-
ed to divert her mind, if possible from
her trouble. So the Pennsylvania
home was disposed of, and the settle
ment in Ohio made. He has some rel
atives who had preceded him to War
rem county, so he came to this section.
After time had worn the sharp edge
somewhat off her troubles, the young
woman improved slightly, but the re-
currence of the old gentleman's attacks
were more frequent. From the time
she had left Pennsylvania she had Lot
heard from her lover, and although
she might have had score of the
stalwart sons of the county of Gen.
Durbin Ward at her feet, she paid no
attention to them.
On Friday afternoon when she OPEN
ed the kitchen door to knock, she
stood before man who resembled the
genus tramp. There was an instant
recognition; she fell. into the arms of
the tramp. 1t was her Whining on
lover. 1t is wonder that her reason did
not then desert her, but it did not, and
she was soon listening to the story of
his ups and downs, and he had had
more OF the latter than the former. He
was wholly reduced; had been to the
diamond fields of South Africa, soon
after they had been denied each others
company, frankly owned that he had
been dissipated, and returning, found
himself without friends, money, or
home. So he joined the band whose
name is legion, and whose other name
IS tramp, and had been "doipg" Ohio.
Some Providence had led him to that
house. Long these two happy people
one clearly and neatly dressed, the
other dingy and dirty, forgetting every
thing in their happiness, but that they
looked into each others eyes-sat and
talked. The tramp forgot to beg the
meal he had desired when he approach
ed the house; the young woman saw
not his filth and rags. Aftera time the
old man came in. When the woman
told me this part of the history she be-

unintelligible. There had been dread
