great day-hls ariival--to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out in his
skiff, to show him cane-brake or a
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know 1t, he lived as "a Man
without II Country"
What Burr meant to do l know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t is none
of our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JEFF
ferson and the House of Virginia OF
that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible Clarcnces of the
then House of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound is today, introduced the

had the order only been signed, by
command of His Exc. a. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
capped, rightly for all l know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough, as say !;
yet you and would never have heard
of him, reader, but that, when the
president of the court asked him ut the
close, whether he wished To say any
thing to show that he had always been

words shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat I'm Ii had served

lives, not to say their necks, had been
risked for the very idea which he so
cavalierly cursed In his madness. He,
on his part, had grown up in the West
