Why, that scoundrel Merry is here this
very day-the effrontery Of himl He
wants nothing more to do with me.
No; he Is here to undertake to recoup
himself in his own losses by reason Of
moneys he advanced to me some time
ago He is importunfng my son-in-law,
Mr. Aston, to pay him back those
funds which once he was 50 ready to
furnish to us. But Mr.. Aston is ruin
ed-we are all ruined. No; they waited
too IongY
"They waited until It was too late,
yes" Lewis returned. THAT country Is
American now, not British or Spanish
or French. Our men are passing across
the river IN thousands. They viii never
loose their hold ON the west. It was
treason TO the future that you planned,
but It was hopeless from the FIRST"

The issue Of that great trial was not

came, and by whatever process, Aaron
Burr was acquitted OF the charges
brought against him. The republic for
whose downfall he had HOtted set him
free and babe him besone.
But now. at the close Of this day. the
two central figures OF she tragic drama
found themselves together once more.
They could be alone nowhere but in
the prison room. aud Il was there that
they parted.
Between them as they stood now AZ
