what | am about to tell you, surprising as 1t
may seem3 is the absolute and undentable
truth concerning the mysterious death OF
Captain harrington.
1T may seem impossible to you that one
in my humble walk Of life should bear a
deadly and fnplacable hatred against a man
in the position OF Captain harrington. You

that can be bpidged by unlawful love can be
spanned also by an unlawful hatred, and
that upon the day that this young man
stole from me all that made my life worth
living | vowed to heaven that | should lake
from him that foul life of his, though the
deed would cover but the tiniest fraction of
the debt which he owed me. | see that you
look askance at me, Sir Charles Tregellis,
but YOU should pray to God, sir, that you
may never have the chance Of finding out
what you would yourself be capable Of in
the same position"

pressed a malignity Of hatred which neither
the death Of his enemy nor the lapse OF
years could mitigate. The demure seryan.

be an ardent lover or a most vindictive foe.
