They fought beyond the shrubbery
I bringing the candles for them. From
the first Mr.. Henry showed himself
the stronger. which so surprised and
confused the master that he tried foul
play. but got only the length Of Mr.
Henry's sword through the body. He
fell. apparently lifeless.
Mr.. Henry shook with sobs. I lee
him into the house, and told the ole
lord and my lady; but going back te
bring in the body, found 1t gone. A
good radiance, thought. whether dead
or alive. but the nights work threw
Mr., Henry into fever, and his mind
was never again the same clear mind
as of old.
The old lord died. and to my lady
and Mr.. Henry. now my lord. was born
boy, and to that boy my lord became
a slave. which had not been SO with
his first child. Katherine. He would
pass by his wife as though she were o
dog before the hearth to come at the
boy. Without doubt this was in the
nature Of Judgment on my lady. she
who had been so cold SO many years
to every mark Of his tenderness; but
to me it was monstrous, and was en-
boldened much as loved him, to say
so; but my saying SO only served te
send my lord sick to bed and to earn
for me from my lord the word that ]
was no better than an old maid.
This brings me to that morning In
April 1764, that the master returned
to us again, this time with an Indian
servant. With his return my lord and
lady, I urging them on, took ship fol-
New York, where my lady had prop
erty through her father. This voyage
so ! thought, will at one stroke rio
them Of the master and weave them
closer together.
Twenty days It took the master to
learn where they had gone; where.
upon he also sailed for New York, and
I on the same ship. praying that she
would go down, even with myself
with her, If 1t would but take
the master also. looked forward
with woe to the day he should set foot
In New York; but our ship was slow
sailer. and other ships which sailed
later arrived before us; so it hap
pened that my lord had word Of the
masters coming and prepared for him
There was suspicion Of more than one
murder. 1t seems, to the masters hand
during the earlier stay he made In
America, and SO now he found 1t a bet
ter business to leave New York and
hunt in the wilderness for that treas
ure which he had buried SO many
years before.
At this time all the evil the master
had done seemed borne in food upon
my lords brain. He became MOODY
aid took to drink. There has beer
talk that he connived with the crew
which the master had hired FOR his ex
petition. bribing the leaders to make
! way with his brother. There is nc
evidence Of that, but it is true that the
masters Indian servant to save his
life, as he said, did bury him alive
with the intent to resurrect and re
store him later by the agency Of some
secret oriental trick.
My lord and a party. being Of It
followed the master. and 1t was wher
the East Indian was lifting his bod,
from the grave that we came upor
them. I thought for q moment thai
the eyelids fluttered. Others say thai
