caused Theodosia Burr to walk the
plank to a fearful death beneath the
waves of the ocean. Again and again
she told the story. I never tired of it.
Repetition made it almost real. Ny
grandmother was the first to hear it.
and she told it to my mother. 1t came
about in this way:
I'm 1850 an old man, who years be-
fore had been a sailor, then an inmate
of the Cass county poorhouse at Cass-
opolis, Mich, in conversing with a
lady, Mrs. Parks, the wife of Meth
odist minister, about his past life.
filled with wrong-doing and crime, said
that the act which above all others
caused him the most remorse was the
tipping of the plank on which Mrs.
Aston, the daughter of Aaron Burr.
walked into the ocean.
1.-The tale of the dying sinner was
substantially as follows: I was once
sailor on a pirate vessel. We cap
tured the ship on which this lady, with
others, was going to New York. When
told she must walk the plank, she
asked for few moments alone, which
were granted
Finally she was informed that her
time had expired, and without hest
tanyy she came forward, dressed beau
tifully in white, the loveliest woman
had ever seen. Calmly she stepped
upon the plank, and with eyes raised
to heaven and hands crossed reverent-
ly over her breast, she walked slowly
and firmly into the ocean, without an
apparent tremor. 1 had no time to
really tip the plank, but watched her,
transf1xed at her marvellous beauty,
amazed at her indescribable fortitude.
Had 1 refused to perform my alot-
ted work, as 1 wish with all my heart
1 had, my death would have been sure
and certain
THAT was the pirates story. / be-
lieve it, for it is the testimony of an
almost dying man, the confession of
the most terrible act of his life. And
it seems to me that when an old man.
bemoaning his life, filled to the brim
with sin, makes such confession
without any provocation whatever
other than the unburdening of his
soul during his preparation for an
