CHAPTER Xxx.
Tho Quality Of Mercy.


~ N Richmond Jail lay Aaron Burr,
the great conspirator, the ruins
|II Of his ambition fallen about
~ him. He had found prison
instead of palace. He was eager no
longer to gain scepter. but only to es-
cape moose.
The great conspiracy was at an end.
The only question was Of the punish
ment the accused should have. for in
the general belief he was certain of
conviction. That he never was con-
victed has always been one of the most
mysterious facts of mysterious chap
ter in our national development.
So crowded were the hostelries of
Richmond that stranger would have
had difficulty in finding lodging there
during the six months of the Burr trial.
Not so with Meriwether Lewis. now
one of the country's famous men. A
score of homes opened their doors to
him. The town buzzed over his ap-
pearance. He had once been the friend
of Burr, always the friend of Jefferson.
To which side now would he lean?
Luther Martin, chief Of Burr's coun-
sci. was eager above all to have word
with Meriwether Lewis. so close to af-
fairs in Washington. possibly so useful
70 himself. Washington Irving, too,
assistant to Martin in the great trial,
would gladly have had talk with him.
All asked what his errand might be.
What was the leaning of the governor
of the new territory. man closer to
the administration at Washington than
any other?
Meriwether Lewis kept his own coun-
sci. He arranged first to see Burr him.
self. The meagerly furnished ante
room of the federal prison in Richmond
was the discredited adventurous re-
ception hall in those days.
Burr advanced to meet his visitor
with something of his own old haughti-
ness of mien, a little Of the former
brilliance of his eye.
"Governor, I am delighted to see you
back safe and sound from your jour-
ney. My congratulations, sir!'
Meriwether Lewis made no reply,
but gazed at him steadily, we'll aware
of the singing sarcasm Of his words.
II have few friends now" said Aaron
Burr. you have many. You are on
the floodtide. 1t GIBBS for me. When
one loses, what mercy is shown to hin?
That scoundrel Merry-he promised ev-
erything and gave nothing. Yrujo-he
is worse yet in his treachery. Even
the French minister, Turreau-who
surely might listen to the wishes of the
great French population Of the Missis-
slppi valley-pays no attention to their
petitions whatever and none to mine.
These were my former friends. I prom
ised them a country"
you promised them . country, Colo
mel Burr-from what?"
From that great ownerless land yon-
der-the west. But they waited and
waited until your success was sure.

| cry. but its early passing over to the
day of law and order. No other men
could have done what they did in that
time Of disorder and change. when.
rolling to the west in countless waves.
came the white men crossing the great
river. striking out into the new lands,
a headstrong. turbulent and lawless
population.
A thousand new and petty cares
came to Governor Lewis. He passed
from one duty to another, from one
part Of his vast province to another.
travelling continually with the crude
methods Of transportation Of that Pc
riod and busy night and day. Courts
must be established. The compilation
of the archives must be cared for. Rec.
Ords must be instituted to clear up the
swarm Of conflicts over land titles.
Scores of new duties arose, and scores
Of new remedies needed to be devised.
The first figure Of the growing capt.
tai Of st. Louis. the new governor was
also the central figure Of all social &C
tivities, the cynosure of all eyes. But
the laughing bellies of St. Louis at
length sighed and gave him up. They
loved him as governor since they
might not as man. Wise, firm, DELHI
crate, kind, sad, he was an old man
now, though still young in years.
Scattered up and down the great val
ley above and below st. Louis and
harboring in that town were many OF
the late adherents of Burr's broken
conspiracy. These liked not the on
coming of the American government,
enforced by so rigid an executive as
that which now held power. Threats
came to the ears Of Meriwether Lewis,
who was hated by the Burr adherents
as the cause Of their discontinue, but
he, wholly devoid Of the fear Of any
man, only laughed at them. Honest
and blameless it was difficult for any
enemy to injure him, and no man
cared to meet Meriwether Lewis in the
open.
But at last one means of attack was
found. Once more-the last time-the
great heart of noble man was pierced.
"Will,S said he to his friend as they
met at William Clark's home, accord
ing to their frequent custom, 81 am in
trouble
"Fancied trouble, Merne," said Clark.
You're always finding it,
"Would l might call it fancied! But
this is something in the way of facts,
and very stubborn facts. See here"
He held out certain papers in his hand.
"By this mornings mail get back
these bills protested-protested by the
government at Washington. And they
are bills that I have drawn to pay the
expenses of administering my office
here
'Tut, TUT" said William Clark grave
~. "Come, let us see!'
"Look here and here! Will, you know
that l am man of no great fortune.
You also know that l have made GER

You are Mr.. Jefferson's friend, not the
friend Of Aaron Burr. All the world
knows that"
Precisely. All the world knows that,
or thinks it does. It thinks it knows
that Mr.. Jefferson Is implacable. But
suppose all the world were set to Won
dering? I am just wondering myself if
it would be right to suborn a juryman,
like John Randolph of Roanoke!"
"That is impossible. What do you
mean?"
Il mean this. This afternoon you

you to your seat in full sight Of the

"You-give your presence to one who
is now a social pariah? The ladies of
Richmond no longer speak to me. But
to what purpose?"
perhaps to small purpose. cannot
tell. But let us suppose that 60 with

all. am known to be the intimate

Ergo! Mr.. Jefferson is not hostile

And he did-fcr her. That afternoon
al the crowded courtroom saw the bea-
die make way for two persons Of i'm
portance. One was tall, grave, dis
tinguished looking man, impassive,
calm, man whose face was known to
all-the new governor Of Louisiana,
vicer0y of the country that Burr had
lost. Upon his arm, pale, clad all in
black, walked the daughter Of the pris-
oner at the bar.
There, in full view Of all the attend
ants, in full view of the jury and of
John Randolph of Roanoke, it's fore
man, sat the two persons who had had
most to do with this scene Of which
they now made part. There sat the
man who had explored the great west
