THE KINLOCU ESTATE,
AND UoW IT WAS SKTTLKD.
CIIAl'IKR XII.
The disappearance of Lucy Ransom did
not locg remain a tocret ; it rang through the
towu uud was accompanied by nil sorts of
rumors. Some thought the bud eloped ; but
tho prevailing opioiou was, that bb had been
tempted into a latul error, and then, in the
Ireuzy of remorse and shame, had destroyed
bersuir, in ordor to hide her disgrace Irom
the woild. blight hints were uow recalled
by many of tho poor girl's acquaintance,
hiuts ol love, unrequited una hopeless, ol
bast) and uufoeling treachery, of remediless
sorrow, appealing lo the deepest sympathy,
uud uot the lee because her heart louud ut
terance in rudo and homely phrases. This
idea of self-destruction gained the more cur
rency because no on hud seen tho leadt trace
of the girl alter the twilight of the preceding
uigl.t, uud it was deemed iniprobuble that she
could have made her wny ou Toot the whole
diaUncu lotho ruilway stutiou without being
iuou by some ouo. And when it w.9 repor
ted that a boy had found a shawl not fat fiom
tho daui, the public becuiue so much aroused !
that ll was determined to make a thorough
search. The poud aud canul were dragged,
aud the bunk of tho river carefully explored
lor miles below the toan The search was
kept up far into the niiiht, the leaders being
provided with pilch-pine torches At every
bend, or eddy, or t-und bar, or fallen tree,
where it might be supposed that a drifting
body wuuld be stopped, the boldest breathed
fufter, aud started at tho fdrst glimpse of a
while stoiie or a peelud aud bleached poplar
trunk, or other similar object, pmved to what
liny expected, yet dreuded to Pee. but it
was iu vain. Lucy, whether alive or dead,
as uot to be found. Her grandmother hob
bled dowu to tho village, moaning piteous!) ;
but she could gel litlle ciHisoluUiim, least of
ull from Mrs. Kinl'tch. l b s incident made
lasting impression. The village boys, who
remembered the search with,shudduring her
ror, avoided tbu river, aud even 11 ugh found
means to porudade Mildred to give, up thft
pleasant road oo its baud .andtake the kill
dialrict for tbtir afiertoou rides. -rv
Meanwhiln the time for the trial of the
ejectmunt suit was rapidly approaching, and
il was dillicull to say whether planum or tie
IVndaut showed the more ti(us of anxiety.
Mr. lluruwicks life seemed to bo bound up
iu bis shop ; it wss bis pride as well as his
pendeuce ; bo had crowen old by its nam
ing forge, aud he could never feel at home in
any other spot. "Young trees may be mov
ed," be would say ; "an old one dies in trsns-
plauliug." It was noticed by his friends that
Uie stoop in his shoulders wus more decided,
his slop less elastic, aud his oidinaryflow or
spirit checked.
Airs. Kinlocu, too, grew old ucSTcountably
fast, ller soft brown hair began to whiteu.
her features grew shur , and her expression
quick, watcblull, and ititeusn. Upon being
sjinkeu to, sho would start and tremble lu ber

tarily, and then become waxen again.
1 inpatient at the Mow progress or her sou s
wooing, aud impelled now by a new fenr that
all her plain uiight be frustrated, if Mildred
should happen to hear any rumor touching
ihe couso or Lu.-y's disappearance, Mrs. Kiu
loch proposed to herself to assist bim more
opeuly than she bad hitherto done. She was
not aware that anything implicating Hugh
bad been reported, but she knew enough of
human nature to be sure that some oue would
peeriDg iuto the mystery which she divined
by iustrinct, but bad not herself dared to ex
plore, eta, fiudiug a favorable opportunity,
she sat dowu beside Mildred determined to
read the secret of her soal ; for she made uo
question that she could seen her, as cbe might
the delicate machinery of the French clock,
noiselessly moving under the crystal cover.
Mildred shuddered unconsciously, as she
felt ber step-mother's thiu fingers gently
smoothing lb hair upon her temples ; still
more, as the pale and qui veriug lips were
pressed to ber forehead. The caress was not
a feigned tenderness. Mrs. Kinlocb really
loved the girl with such love as she Lad to
beton ; aud if ber manner bid been latterly
abstracted or burst), it was from pre-otcups-tion.
She was soon eati9ed that the suspi
cion she dreaded bad pot found place in the
girl's miud. Leading the way by impercepti
ble approaches, she spoke in ber softest toues
of bur joy at Hugh's altered manner, bar
hope of his future, and especially of ber de
sire to have kiui leave the usvy aud settle on
shore.
How happy we might be, Hagb and we,"
be aid, if we could live bare in Ibis comfor

would break op the circle! how much .toot
dear father counted oo the happiness in store
ror him in growing old with bin cunoreu
arond him 1 and would not be rejoiced to see
us cling together, bound by ties and strong as
lire, and cherishing bis memory by our mutu
al affection T"
Mildred replied in some common-places,
rather wondering at the vein of sentiment,
and in no way suspecting the object which
her step-mother bad in view.
Mrs. Kinloch continued "Hugh needs
some new attraction nov to detain him ; he
is tired of the sea, but u finds the village dull
II is just of the kge to think or looking for
some romantic attachment; but you know
how Tew girls there are here whose manners
and education are such as to ploaso a cuUia

Mih'.ied grew uneasy, but remained silent.
Mr; hlinlocb was every moment more eager
in her manner ; a novice, waiting for the turn
of the cards in rouye el noir, would not have
manifested a greater anxiety as to the result.
Dut the girl looked out of the window, aud
did not see the compressed lips, dilated nos
trils, aud glittering ryes that gave such a
contradiction to the bland wotds.
"Mildrod. my daughter." sbeacontineed, "I
have uo secret from you, least of all about
matters that concern us both. Don't you
see what 1 would say T Don't you know what
would make our circle complete, inseparable?
Pardon the boldness or a fond mother, whoso
only desire is to see her children happy."
Mildred felt a tear dropping upon the
hand which Mrs. Kinloch held with a pas
sionate grasp, ishe felt tho powerful mag
netism which the woman exerted opon ber,
aud sho trembled, but still kept silent.
"It is for Hugh that I speak. He lovts
you. Has be not told you so ?"
I do not wish to talk with you about il,"
Said Mildred.
"But 1 have a right, as his mother and
your guardian, to know. I should be wauting
io my duly, if 1 suffered your happiness to be
periled for want of a clear understanding be
tween you. Hugh is proud and sensitive,
aad you bashful aud just the least foolish ;
so that you are ut cross purposes."
"Hugh fully understands my reelings to
wards him."
"You have given bim encouragement ?"
she asked, eagerly.
"None whatever; it would have been
wrong lu rtie to do so."
"Wrong to love him I Why, he is your
brother only iu name."
"Wrong to eucourage him in a lovp I do
not and ennuot return," replied Mildred, with
a mighty effort, at the same lime disengaging
her hand.
Mrs. Kinloch could not repress a feeling
of admiration, even in her despair, as sho
saw the clear, brave glance, the heightened
color, and the heaving bosom of the girl.
"Dut, iu lime, you may think differently,"
she said, almost piteously.
"I wished to be spared this pain, mother,"
Mildred replied, trembling at her own bold
nesK, but you will not li t Hie ; and I must
tell you, kiudly, but docidedly, that 1 never
could marry Hugh under any circumstances
whatever."
Her mntlior did not wince at the rebufl,
but followed on even closer "Aud why t
Who is there more manly, well educated,
kiudly, dutiful. I linn Hugh t"
"I don't wish to analyse his character;
probably we shouldn't altogether agree in
our judgment j but it in enough that I don't
j leel in thu leu.it attracted by bim, antl ma; l
I could nut lore him, if he were all thut you
injazine. .
"Then yon love auolber 1" said Mrs. Kin
loch, tiarvely.
Mildred was excessively agitated ; but
though her voice trembled, her voice was
clear and soft as it hod been. "Yes, I do
love auother and I dou't hesitate to avow
it."
"That blacksmith's upstart?" in a still
louder key.
"Yott mean Mark Davenport, probably,
who deserves moro respectful language."
"Drought up in coal dust, the spoiled
and forward pet of a foolish old stutterer,
who depends for his bread on bis dirty work,
and who, if lie had only his own, would have
to leave even the hovel he works in." 1 1
was fetrlul to see how ttiese cont'mpiuou
words were hissed out by the infuriated
woman.
Mildred was conraceons, but she had not
passed through the discipline that had de
veloped her step mnthrr' faculties;. So she
burst into tears, saying, amid her sobs, that
Mark was allowed bv all who Knew mm, io
be a vnane man or Diomie : that, for herself,
she didu't care how much coal dust ho bad
been through, Mar would wash o!T; that, at
any rate, she loved him, and wouiJ never,
marry onyhody else.
Mrs. Kinloch began to consider. Anger
had whirled her away once: a second explo
sioo might create au irreparable breach be
tween mem.
"Don't lay up what I have said, Mildred,"
she urged, in a mild voice. "If I object lo
your choice, it is because I am proud or you
und want you to look high. You can marry
whom yon choose , uo rank or station need
be considered above you. Come, dou't cry
dear !"
Dut Mildred rofuaed to be soothed She

CHATTER XIII.
Mildred had now no peace: after what
had happened, she could uot meet Hugh and
his mother with any composure. The sche
ming woman had ricked everything io ibe
appeui sue oiaau to her daughter. risked
everything, and lost. . Nothiug could restore
harmony ; neither could lorget the struggle
and live the old, quiet life. Mrs. Kinloch,
always pursuod by anxiety, was one day full
of cooraze, frnillol in tl'ns end resources,
sod the next day cast tiuvrn into the pit of
Despair Mow she clang to ber first Dope,
believing that time, patience, kiudotss, would
often Mildred's resolution ; then, teeing the
blank Indifference with which she treated
Hugh, shu racked her Invention to provide
other means of attaining her end.
Again, the thought or her inexplicable
lost came over her, and she wst frightened
to tnadoef t ; creeping chilli alternating with
cold tweats, tortured her. It wat a mystery
she could not penetrate. She coeld uot but
implicate Lucy; but then Lucy might be io
bet grave. After every circumstance bad
passed ia review, ber suspicions inevitably re
luroed aud fuateued upou ber lawyer. Clamp.

severely elone. She determined to send for
him, on basines, and then to try her fascinn

he held her Secret-
"Aha I" thought the Squire, as be received
the message, "she comes to her senses I Give

The wig and best soil were brushed snow.
water was brought iqU requisition for tho
visible portions or his person, and, with his
uiost engaging expression arranged upon hit
parchment face, he presented himself before
the widow.
There was skirmish of small talk, during
which Mr. Clamp was placid and self-conscious,
while his vit a-vii, though smiling and
apparently at ease, was yot alert aud exci
ted, darling furtive glances that would have
startled him like flashes of sunlight reflected
from a mirror, if be had not been shielded by
his own self-complacency.
" Yon-have-sent-for-me-on-busiaess, I
believe," said the lawyer, iu a tone continu
ous and blaud as a stream or honey.
""Yes. sir; I hnvo great confidence in your
judgment, aud I know that you are devoted
to the interests or our family. My poor
husband always esteemed yoa highly."
"Oh, Ma'am ; you do me honor 1"
"If I have not consulted yon about our
affairs of late, it is because I have had
troubles which I did not wish to burden you
with."
"We all have oar troubles, Mrs. Kinloch.
They era very sad to bear, but praGtable,
nevertheless, but I'm sure you must be
wonderfully supported in your trials ; I never
saw you looking better."
And truly, her thin and mobile lips were
or a strangely bright coral, and her tisuully
wan cheeks wore a delicate flush, lending her
a beauty, not youthful, to be sure, but yet
fascinating. One might desiro to see an eye
less intense and restless, but be would rarely
see a woman of forty so charming.
"You notice my color," euid Mrs. Kinloch
mournfully, aud with a faint smile ; "it's only
the effect of headache. 1 am far enough
from well."
"Iudoedl" wss the sympathetic reply.
"1 ha.e met with a p. real loss, Mr. Clamp,
some pipers of the greutest importance. 1
was going to consult you about them."
"In which I got ahead or you," thought
he.
"Xow, ever since the dissppearunce or
Lacy, 1 have thought she had something to
do with them. I never wont to the secreta
ry, but shu was sure to be spying about.
Aud 1 believe she knew about iny affairs as
well as 1 do myself."
"Or 1," inenlully eiaculated the lawyer.
meanwhile keeping us close as au oyster.
She continued, "As Ihe girl was inornnt,
and without any interest in the matter mora
than that of curiosity, 1 nm puzzled to ac
count for all this."
" 'Tis strange, truly !"
"Yes, I'm sure she must be only tho tool
of some shrewder peraou."
You alarm tit I V bo can it be?"
Perhaps Mildred, or tome odb who is
plotting for her. The llardwicks, you know,
expect sho will marry Mark Daveuport."
"Do they, indeed ? Well, now, that's a
shrewd conjecture. Then you Ibitk Lucy
didn't drown herell ?"
"She ? I5y no means l"
"Dut what can 1 do io the matter. Mrs.
Kinloch ?"
"We must find Lncv. or else discover her
confidant," looking fixedly at him.
"Nr.t very easy to do," soul be, never once
wincing under her scrutiny.
"jMut eusy fur Die. but those that hide
can find. Nothinz is beyond seurch. if one
reolly tr.'en."
During this cross exominnl ion, Mr. Clamp's
premedituted gallantry bad been kept iu the
background ; but he was determined not to
let the pre writ opportuniiy pass by ; he
therefor turned the current of eonver.alion.
"You hare not tu'.d mo, Mrs. Kinloch, what
the loss U ; so I cannot judge of its impor
tance, Yoa don't wish to have any more re
positories of secrets llian are necessary ; but
I think you will readily see that our interests
lie lu the same direction. II the girl cau be
found and the papers r covered by any body,
l am tneaorie to Co il. il Hint j impossible,
however, the uext thing i to be prepared for
what may happen ; in either emergency, yoa
can hardily do better then to except my aid."
"Ur course, 1 depend entirely opon you."
"We mny as well understand each other,"
said the lawyer, forgetting the wily ways by
which be bad intended to approach her. "1
have certain views, myself, which 1 thiuk run
parallel with yours ; and if I am able to carry
you and your property safely through these
difficulties, I think you will not tcruple to
I o pay you to your hearts coniuut, she
broke in, quickly. "No, I shull uoi scruple,
unless you ask more than half the estate.
"I ask for nothiug but yourself, taid bo with
suddeu boldness.
"That is to say, you want the whole of it."
''Charming woman 1 don't, pray, compel me
to talk in this language of tralllu. It is you
1 desire, not th estate. I f there is enough
to make yoa more comfortable than would be
possible with my r.uans, I shall be happy for
your sake."
Her lipt writhed and ber eyes shot fire.
Should she breathe the scoru tie felt, and
brave the worst? Or should she temvrid?
Tim might bring about a change, whaa she
sould safely send the mercenary suitor buck
to his dusty and cobebled oflice.
"We do understand eacb other," the said,
slowly. "This is a matter to think tt. 1 bad
never thought to marry tgain, aud 1 caunot
answer yocr delicate proposal now. Let uio
have a week toeouiuler."
"Couldn't we arrange the matter just as
well now? I beg your pardon, Ma'tui, if 1
seem too bold."
"Ob, your yoothfo.1 ardor and impetuosity !
To bo sure, one mast forjive tba iinpalieucu
or a lover in hit first passion I Jiut you
mBt wait, nevertheless."
Mr, Clamp Uejhed. It wot a good jo '..a,
be thought.
"1 roust bid yon good afternoon. Squire
CUmp. I have mado oiy headache worse by
talking on a subject I was pot prepared for."
So Mr. Clamp was board out. He did
not clearly oudersland ber quick and subtle
movement, but be fait sure of hit game In
the end. The scornful irony that bad played
a'ocut bim like electricity be bad not felt.
WhD he wat gone, the vomii'i worst en

much in speaking. His gestures are awk

the applatiso or the negroes and white ruffi

moderate tulents, oud ordinary learning. lie

Tho Parson left Philadelphia for his home
luitaodiately al ter the close of the debute, nnd
ha given up his niisaiouitry tour through the
North. Iu reply to my challenge to repeat
the debate iu several of the principal cities
of the North, made before the audience on
Saturday evening laat, he backed out of his
original proposition lo meet th entire North
iu debiting the slavery question in the North
aud declined going on, unless I would meet
bim iu the .South half of thu time. Not be

brick bat aud bludgeons, aud knowing that
the South dare not permit me to debate the

whether this bu the caso or not, we have prov

think irou rollert are by far the best, uuless
for the smallest experiments, when Louie
made wooden rollers may be used.
2. The caue should be cut u soon aa con

Lloyd took hit daughter to the Ccmmercifti
House and locked her up in a room.
Mr. Lloyd, in addition to being ao exten
sive and nourishing farmer, keeps a tavern,
iu WicklifTe, which is very favorably knowq
through this sections It is located pear the
Inke shore, and near where lb ill fated
steamer GriHilh was burned some years
ince. Mr. L. owns tome four hundred and
fifty acres of laod in Wickliff and it quite
wealthy. Hit daughter! are named Mary
and Laura. Mary is about twenty years,
old, and Laura about tixteen. They are
splendid looking girl, and are fashionably
and richly dres.ed. They are both well edn
ceted, having enjoyed superior advantage! in
thit respect. ,
The Lewis brothers are nncoulh, unodaca
ted and overoro-.tn specimens of humanity,
and can neither read nor write. Thry hired
out to Mr. Lloyd some six months ego. He
paid Watson, theeldost one, $13, and Chaun
cey $10 a month. Cbauncny Lewis, the
young Dinn who didn't get married and who
passed the night in the watch-house, is a very
sleepy and stupid appearing young man.
We doubt if he kuowt enough to exercise
the sagacity of a common Sbanghae chicken
and go undercover when it cuius. He wae
released this morning, at tho suggestion of
Mr. Lloyd, and requested to "scoot," which
be hsstily did. He. promised, with tears in
his ryes, never to come within ten miles of
Wickhtfe again. The married brother of
course cannot be interfered with.
The parties eloped at about eleven o'clock
on Monday night, and were not missed until
yesterday morning. The brothers hired a
horse and buggy at Willoughby's, end went
to Mr. Lloyd's bouse, where the girla were
awaiting them, with their trunks all packed.
The girls left tho house noiselessly end got
into the hugsy, and tbo partiet moved slowly
towards Cleveland. One or the brothers
walked all of the way here (uboat tixteen
miles) and the other rode and drove. Arri
ving hero they Btopped at the Commercial
Houto. In the evening a justice wst called
in and Vatcou and Mary were married.
Cbauncoy and Laura concluded to postpoue
being united until this morning, which con
clusion fortunately enabled Mr. Lloyd to
nrevont thu oeremonv. Tb.i nsrtiea all
moved from tho Commercial to the Frauklin,
whore they were found es above stated.
This is thu most remarkable case of elope
ment we ever heard of. It utterly eclipses
thebokerand Dean base. What two hand
some aud cultivated girls, at the Mine)
Lloyd certainly were, could find to admire)
in two such fellows as the Lewis brothers ia
more than we ccn imagine. Mr. Lloyd and,
bis wife uro overwhelmed wrtu grief by tho
iuexplicablu conduct of their daughters.
Farm Ci3tern3- .
We copy the following valuable article frptn
the Country Gentleman. We say valuable
and it will prove so to every farmer or gar,
decer who has a short supply of wuter, anrj
conlomplatos providing more through the aid
of a fi'tern. The article should, indeed, be
preserved for future reference.
Our readers have heard of the man who
was from year to year annoyed with a leaky
roof because when the weather wat fair it
did not need repairing, and when raining, he
coull not mend it. lu the same way some
farmers ueglact to mako provision for water
ing domestic utiimals, nntil drought actually
arrives aad than they cannot. We well know
one, who during the present dry weather,
drives Lis cattle a milo to water, at the same
time that he has roof enough on hie large
baru to gi7a tham all the drink they need, if
a cistern of proper capacity had beea prepar
ed to lotaiu it.' The barn cort a thousand
dollars ; the cistern might be built for fifty
yet OTery animal of his large herd has to tra
vel nearly thirty miles oach week for necessa
ry driuk. He miht construct a cistern now,
but it wiil be mother year befor bo can de
rive any beneCt from it, aod so he putt oil the
labor. -
His barn is about 35 by 70 feet if three-
feet of rain falls annuully, three cubic feet of
water will lie ufforded by every squnr foot of
suiface more than 7000 cubic feet rrom the
the whole would ba enough to water daily,

day four twelve-quart pailfolls,) thirteen nead

small, and ofleu they do not hold a tenth port
of the discharges at the evet. In the above
nioutined instance, it would not be necessary
to construct one large enough to bold the eor
tire 1700 barrels. If tho catlle were watered
from it the ve?r round, and its contents thus
caustaully d'rawn as it fills, on large enough
to hold 400 bands would do ; but if osed for
the dry season ccly, it should be more than
double. A cistern I t fuel in diamter and
12 feet deep, would bold about J00 barrel
20 fact iu diameter, and the same depth,
would bu sulucient for 800 barrels. If built
under ground, and contracted towards the
top, it would require to be a little larger in
dimensions, to allow for the coUrueted space.
Such a contradiction would be bsolttely ne
cesjury to admit of convenient and at!' cover
ing at ibe ton, and could be effected without,
any difficulty if built or masonry. A n iguo-.
raul stone mason whom we ouce employed to
construct a tmall cistern of thi character,
stoutly refused to contract the walls, e:ser
