Harry, however, served to aid me
to keep cool, and after the elapse o
a few moments, | directed Mr.
Dabbs to proceed. He took anoth
er corper off olhis plug OF tobacco
leaned back liz his chair-lookiAg
like one whe was,~eu.pleased wltl
himself, and seemed to ENJOY Qua
misery.
II was about to observe, a mo
ment ago, that Miss Bramlett has
been exceedingly imprudent, if MOI
criminal, in her intrigue with Ben
Bowls d.
"With whom did you eay?'
groaned Harry.
"Why with Ben Bowls, that un-
principIed gambler"
"He must be the same fellow you

has been frequently seen to enter
his apartments through "a private
entrance that opens on an alley IN
rear OF the house"
My God, Eddie! | shall go mad,
said Harry, as his head fell on my
shoulders. | could hear his hear
throb and jump against his breast
like it was in great commotiOn. =
"Can this horrible story be true?-
Can the Devil take the shape of ar
angel, in order to drag the sou
down to hell?"
"Hush, hush! Harry, there is some
strange mistake connected witl
this affair, and Ill risk my life on
Viola's honor"
Thank you, Eddie, a Thousand
times, from the very bottom OF my
heart. / will not believe her dis,
honest, unless the proof is piled
mountain high; but Where is The
cowardly william who originated
this damnable falsehoods 0, ifl
could only get my hand on his ac.
cursed throat, I'd stop the air from
his vilainous lungs forever"

visited that place, shehas been in
