Dear gentleman And shall We never

confirmation Of the statement of his father

1t was upon the fathers dying information
that Sir James pursued and rescued me at
the White Rock. But the action of the
younger Beatty in coming so OppOrtunely TO
the same place seemed unaecOuntable. With
every disposition to hand him over TO the
law, like an Englishman and 4 magistrate,
the wreiched mans remOrse, his assistance,
and the extraordinary character of the mo-
tive he gave for attacking me-grOss religi-
ous perstition-together with the press
ure upon Sir James's official time and my
dangerous state, caused Us TO let Beatty de-

James resolved, and advised me to the same

" Had Sir James sent us money we never
should have bought the fuel beams and
the recovery of grandiather's memory, by
what was called surgical accident, never

Dear lady, you say well; the darkest
hour Of the miner is just before he
UNCOvERs THE GOLD.
That rush OF memory, by the light Of the
fuel beams, uncovered a hundred darkened
years. The next thing was Beatty's restOra-
tiOn Of the writing in the will and testa-
ment of Capt. Ethel. We have that will
safe in England. Better than that, we are
in possession Of all your property, which till
these few years back was Of the slightest
value. To-day several towns stand upon the
Athol lands and the buried labor Of burnt
forests like that we saw in the devOuring
flames now constitute veins and mines of
physical force and labor, which we bring to

"YOu say that this property has made

"YOu cannot do that"

Do you recollect that day at the old House
