    The Plot Aphid Hawley.
'CHAPTER 7.
ROW *1:11 PLOT ORIGINATED.
Neu noon, the sth of September,l6V2,
a man laboftug under great excitement
was walking hurriedly np Broadway.
New 'York, His features were flushed
and convulsed, his glances wild and rest
less,Ms whole me in indicative of keen
anguish.
Turning to the right into Bleeeker
street, he soon reached a plain three story
and basement brick house, to which he
gave himself admittance. •
" Ara you there, Ruth ?" he called from
the hall.
A step was heard overhead, fobwed by
the rustling of a dress, and a young lady
descended the front stairs. Despite sev
eral points of marked contrast, there was
a family likeness about the couple that
proclaimed them to be brother and sister.
" Why, what's the matter, Luke P" cried
the latter, starting at sight of the dis
turbed countenance that met her view.
"Are you ill?"
"I've just received bad news," replied
the brother, leading the way into the par
lor—" news which has given me a terri
ble shock."
" Shocked ?" You! What has happen
ed?"
" In a word, Clara Aymar is married !"
" Married !" echoed the sister, recoil
ing. " Clara Aymar married ! Is it possi
ble ?"
" Yes, married 1 the girl I've been lay
ing siege to for years past—the only
. girl
I ever cared a pin for. Imagine the shock
this event gives me. I'm nearly crazy."
"Then you really loved her?"
"Loved her! I must have worshipped
her, or else this thing would not have so
completely upset me.'
" Oh, as to that, the loss of a thing al
ways gives us an exaggerated notion of its
value,' said the sister philosophically, as
she sank languidly into an easy chair,
and.smoethed out a fold in her showy
morning robe. "You. are simply shock
ed, as you say. But by to-morrow you
will laugh at the whole matter."
" Don't, Ruth I" implored the brother,
sinking heavily into the nearest chair.
" Clara Aymar is more to me than my
life! My love for her is a delirium 1 It's
no' such passing fancy as you suppose,
bat an everlasting passion—a rage—a
flood of molten lava! And I've counted
alalong upon marrying her. True, she
Ms rejected me twice, but I thought she'd
change her mind—"
"She was in no waycommitted to you ?"
" No, of course not- She has never
given me any encouragement But I am
none the less surprised. I supposed that
everything was favorable enough to my
wishes. I knew that she was still young
to marry—an orphan—without money
and without friends—presumably without
suitors; and I flattered myself that she
couldn't always remain insensible to my
attentions."
"You reasoned wisely enough, of
course, Luke ; but reason never decides
these matters,' declared the sister, with a
sort of contemptuous compassion. "A
whim—.a chance meeting—a smile or a
word—a moment's weakness—any trifle
—these are the things by which mar
,riages are brought about. But who is the
bridegroom ?"
"Ah ! that's a point that will touch
you a little I think. Can't you guess
who he is ?"
"I haven't the least idea."
"Well, then, he's Will Hawley."
The sister sprang abruptly to her feet,
clasping both hands to her heart. The
changing colors of her brother, his agita
tion, his anguish, all passed to her own
features.
"Will. Hawley?" she gasped. "Oh,
you don't mean it, Luke I"
"But I do though. It's God's truth.
Clara Aymar and - Will Hawley are hus
band andwife."
A heavy fall succeeded. The sister
had fainted. She lay upon the floor as
one dead.
"Did she think that much of Haw
ley?" muttered the brother, astonished.
I didn't suppose—" ' •
He hastened to bring a pitcher of wa
ter and bathe the whitefeatures, and then
set himslf to chafing the clew:bed hands.
Capt. Luke Pedder was twenty-seven
years of age, with an originally light com
plexion, which had reddened with gener
ous living and brdied • with exposure of
wind and sun. His form was of the av
erage size and height, and his features
of the most ordinary type. • He was sing
ularly selfish and unscrupulous, but of
gentlemonly manners, being well educa
ted and need to good society. His ability
as a navigator was fair for a man of his
age and experience, but he owed his posi
tion as commander of a ,fine Australian
clipper, more to respect for his late father
and t o Bympathiring favor than to his
own merits.
Miss Ruth Peddef was two years young
er than her brother, and 'consequently
twenty-five years of a"e,, although she
owned to only twenty. She was tall, thin,
and a little inclined in her outlines, as in
her temper, to angularity. She was not
pirtieularly bright, but she was bold and
unscruptdons,-and possessed a fierce - en
ergy which was capable of compensation
in any emergency forlack of genius.
The father of the couple had been a
prominent ship-owner and merchant
But in his latter days the senior Pedder
bad been unfortunate, and bad finally
been broken up completely—a result has
tened, it was whispered, by the wild ways
and financial irregularities of his son.
The old man's failure had soon been fol
lowed by his death, and already—for
such is fame! he was generally forgotten.
"How odd it is!" ejactelated Capt
Pedder,as he rubbed his sister's cold bands.
" She madly in love with Will .Hawley,
and /crazy after Clara Aymar! And now
Will and Clara are married, and Ruth and
I are left out in the cold."
Under the vigorous treatment be had
adapted, Miss Fodder soon secoyered her
senses. •
"Are yon sure they're married ?" she
demanded..
Perfectly. I learned the fact half an
hoar since from Hawley Commander—
Captain Gregge, you know. Captain
Greggs was at the wedding. It took
place last Friday evening—the very ere.
Bing after llawley's return from his last
voyage to Rio. it was a quiet Wait: On
ly a few friends were invited. But let me
ask you a question. Did Hawley ever
propose to you ?"
!!/ , :o. Brit I 'expected that lie would
soon do so. He has been here often
enough—"
"Yes, he came several tames to ask me
fora berth in my clipper.f t promised to
think of him at the first o ing, mid I
really meant to
- help biro, I knew in a
general:lig that you liked him."
" /thought he'd maim that_yolk could
be of serum to him: explained Him
Pedger. "I thought he'd remember that
mother left me this house and a few
thousand dollars to do as I pleased with.
I was conscious, too,- that ..I possessed a
fair share of personal attractions. " And
as I supposed him to be entirely heart
free, I took it for granted that I should
get him. His attentions seemed marked
enough—"•
"He treated you politely, of mire,"
interrupted Pedder, " and he couldn't
have well done less, after asking me to be
friend him. But he never .made any for
mal declaration P"
"No, he didn't. As a mato of a Rio
ship, he -was away seven-eights of . the
time, and didn't expect a regalia court
ship. But I took it for granted—" .
Pedder made an impatient gesture.
" We've deceived ourselves , " he mut
tered. " We've been earned away by oar
feelings. The girl's rejection of me was
really intended to beibtal, and Hawley's
visits here were merely visits of business
and friendship. But why- Clara should
perfer Hawley to me I can't imagine,"
added Pedder, drawing himself up
haughtily. "Hawley has neither name,
nor money, nor position !"
"Nor can I see why Hawley should
perfer Clara Aymar to me I" said Miss
Pedder, as she glanced at her reflection in
one of the long mirrors near her. She's a
hired attendant, or something of that
kind—the creature."
"I'd no idea that ycoll thought so much
of Hawley," observed the brother, as he
strove to calm his painful emotions.
Miss Pedder moaned. Her eyes • filled
with tears.
"I thought all the world of him." she
murmured.
A long silence fell between the couple..
"Well, well, they're husband and wife,"
at length muttered Pedder hoarsely. "And
this, I suppose, is all there is to be said."
Miss Pedder compressed her lips until
they bled, staring at her brother with a
fixedness amounting to ferocity.
"No! nol" she breathed fiercely. "The
matter shall not end here. That mar
riage—that abominable marriage—,:"
She clutched at her heart again, as if
suffocating.
Pedder opened his eyes widely.
"Why, what can we do?" he queried.
"You wouldn't have me murder Hawley,
I suppose? Thal wouldn't make him your
husband. And, on the other hand, it
wouldn't do me any good if you were to
kill Clara Aymar.
"But there is a way, Luke, of undoing
that marriage."
Pedder started toward Lits sister, as if
electrified.
"Do you mean it ?" he demanded.
"I mean it, and I swear it! I'll never
consent to that girl's having Hawley! I'll
dig a gulf between them as bread as the
ocean I I'll undo that marriage, or die P'
"Softly! Where is Kate?"
He referred to their single ser.tant.
"She's out for the day," answered Miss
Pedder, arising and planting herself in
chair. " There was little to do, you know,
as I did not expect you home until din
ner."
"Then no one will hear na"
He drew a chair nearer to that . of his
sister and sat down beside her.
"What's your idea?" he asked, in a
whisper.
"My idea is to seperate them ; to tdrn
their love to hate; to dig, a pit beneath
their feet that will remain open forever I''
"But how ?"
"Will Hawley is poor, isn't he 1"
"Certainly; there is no mistake about
that. His mother was a helpless invalid
for the last ten years of her life, and Will
insisted on her using for her comfort ev
ery penny he earned. It hasn't been six
months since he was relieved of that bur
den. He's poor, therefore, as. you say—
poor asjob's turkey 1"
"Then he'll have to leave his darling
Clara," sneered Miss Pedder venomously.
"Hell have to absent himself from his
deary in order to earn their mutual bread
and butter. In short, he'll have to go to
sea again r
"Well, yes; I suppose he will," aasent
ed Pedder. "He can get better wages at
sea than elsewhere. He'll sail again soon,
no doubt"
"I thought as much. And the sea is
full of temble dangers! When do you sail
again for Australia ?"
"In about two weeks—possibly in ten
days, as the ship's filling up rapidly."
"Hawley is thorogghly competent to be
your first-mate
redder looked wonderingly at his sister
a moment and then answered:
"Of course. I know of no better man
for the post."
"Ho must be your first mate, then.
Yon have influence enough with your
owners, I hope, to Writ out the present
incumbent?'
"Why, the post is already vacant. Mr.
Jarding—jou have seen him—Mr. Jar
ding has just been called home suddenly
to Ohio, on account of his father's ill-
"Good! That's fortunate. You must
recommend Hawley for the vacant place
to your owners, and get them to engage
him. The thing can be done ?'
" Without the least doubt. It was un
derstood, you know, as I just now remark
ed, that I was to help Hawley at the first
opportunity. We'll accordingly suppose
that he sails with me as first mate the
next voyage. What then?" •
"You must leave him—not dead, but a
prisoner—on some desert island between
here and Australia!"
Pedder looked his'astonishment.
"If it can be done," he said, after a
pause, "what next P
"You mast come back and report that
he is dead, furnishing full details and good
proofs. Those details and proofs will not
be difficult to manufacture. Then you
must be all kindness and sympathy to the
young widow, as she will suppose herself
to be, and in less than a year thereafter
ehe will be your wife."
"Oh, if this thing were possible!"
sighed Pedder, beginning to look relieved.
"Possible? It's as simple as kissing.
And the moment you are married to
Clan, I will take a trip to Australia for
health, and naturally enough, stumble
ripen the very island 'where you have left
Hawley; effect his rescue; tell him his
*ife is dead; condole and sympathize
with him like an angel; and conclude the
whole comedy , by becoming hie wife and
settling in Anstrailia. thus have
your Clara, on this side of the , ecean, and
I shall . 1x) happy with Hawley - on'. the
other." • . •
She was smiling now, with 'every_ sign
of anticipated triumph.
As to Polder, he twisted nervously in
his chair, iscarceley venturing to breathe.
"There's just one difficulty," he mat
tered—"the. of gdUng Hawley . on tha
desert island without his =wing any
"lt can b done," and thilliarid
Peddetttiid-it
vice. "There's no difficulty about finding
a suitable island?"
. "Not the least. I saw theisland in my
mind's eye the moment younttered the
word, and a glorious one it th for our pur
pose" ' .
•
"It will be.easy for you to get Hawley
upon it," suggested Miss Pedder thought
fully. "If it's near your route, you can
call there for water. If it's out of your
way, you can be blown there by adverse
winds, or be drifted there by unknown
currents, or fetch up there by a mistake
in your reckoning, or a fault in your
chronometer. .And once there; you can
have Hawley seized by some trusty agent.
while he is ashore upon business, or you
can send him ashore under some pre
tence, such as looking for a deserter from
the ship or for a shipwrecked sailor, and
then sail away without him—"
"Say no more," interrupted Pedder,
with wild exultation. "I see how to
manage the affair from beginning to its
end." •
"And you now see that we cau undo
that hateful marriage?"
" Perfectly—perfectly. The affair will
require a littlej time and patience of
course, and a little expenditure of money.
but we are suro to triumph. Capital!
glorious! What a load you have taken
from my soul, Ruth ! What a genius you
are!'
He leaped to his feet and began pacing
to and fro rapidly, with the "most extrava
gant signs and exclamations of joy.
"First to have Hawley on his island,"
resumed Miss Pedder musingly. "Next
for you to marry the pretended widow.
Then for me to rescue the prisoner and
marry him. And finally for you and me
to be happy, you in your way and I in
mine—you with Clara in New York, and
I with Will in Australia. You comprehend
the whole project clearly ?"
"From the first step to the last. There's
only just one possibility of failure—"
"And that one ?"
"A refusal on Hawley's part to accept
the post offered him—a refusal based up
on his marriage."
Miss Pedder turned pale at the thought.
" But he won't refuse," sho soon de
clared, recovering her equanimity. "He
has long been wanting just such a place.
Married or single, ha can't neglect his
bread and butter."
" Well said, Ruth. I think we can
count upon him. The post he came here
to ask me for is now vacant, and I will
accordingly have it'offered to him, just as
if nothing had happened."
"Exactly. You needn't speak of his
marriage, or seem to know anything
about it. You can simply offer him the
host in question, iu accordance with the
Old understanding. And he will accept
it. He can't possibly have any suspicion
of anything wrong. Outwardly and ap
parently we are all on good terms with
one another, and will remain so. Let the
wages offered him be liberaL Possibly he
may object to leaving his yonng bride so
soon, but the next voyage after this
one—"
redder iaterrupted the remark by a
gesture of impatience. He was all eager
ness now—all determination.
"The next voyage after this one will
not answer," he declared. "Hawley shall
accompany me on my very next trip. To
make all sure on this pain t,I will hack him
engaged this very day. lulact, I will see
to this vow."
He seized his hat and gloves, addressed
a-few words to his sister, and quietly
took his departure down town. The last
glances the couple exchanged at the door
were iull of jubilant wickedness.
The next three or four hours passed
slowly to Miss Pedder. She was begin
ning to fear that the whole project had
miscarried at its very commencement,
and was fretting herself into a fever, when
Pedder suddenly made his appearance.
One glance at his vivid flushes, at his
dancing eyes, at his airy manner, was
sufficient.
-We triumph then ?" she cried throw
ing herself into Lis arms for the first
time in , years.
"Completely! I saw my owners on the
subject, and they sent for Hawley. He at
first offered some objections. as was nat
ural, but the high wages, the great step
upward, the kindly interest we all mani
fested, goon brought him to a greatful ac
ceptance !"
"Splendid!" murmured Miss Pedder,
with a rippling laugh.. I knew the thing
was feasible. And so in I.
weeks more
our fond bridegroom will be plowing the
sea again—"
. "1n two weeks more, Ruth? We shall
be off in six or eight days. The cargo is
fairly tumbling aboard the F7ping Chil
ders, to say nothing of a fair list of pas
sengers. The honeymoon of our loving
doves will be abridged to six short days,
you may be certain."
• CII I PTER IL
A GREAT STEP TAKEN.
. _
•
In the midst of the Antarctic ocean, a
little off the route from New York to
Australia, there lies a large island named
Kerguelen's Land, or—as Capt. Cook
called it—the island of Desolation.
It was discovered just a hundred years
ago, (in 1772,) by the French naval offi
cer whose name it bears. It was unin
habited then, and is to-day as deserted as
ever.
The smallest school-boy among our
readers can findit upon his map of the
world, about midway between the south
end of Africa and Australia, well up to-
ward the South Pole.
- -
It is a huntried miles in length by fifty
in breadth, andis consequently three or
four times its large as Rhode Island.
Its coasts are so wild and dangerous
that its discoverer, during the two expe
ditions that he made to it, did not once
bring hie ships to anchor in any of its
bays and harbors.
Its shape is very irregular, but some
thing like that of an hour glass, its being
nearly cut in two by a couple of large
bays; but these two divisions are unequal
in size, the northern peniusula being
much larger than the southern.
Its coast line is widely broken std jagg
ed, its innumerable gulfs being long and
narrow, and its prombntories are corres
pondingly sharp and slender, reaching
out into the ocean like fingers.
'The body of the island indeed resem
bles that of some. huge monster of the
antediluvian world, oven as its capes and
headlands resemble such a monster's un
sightly limbs and claws.
A more terrific solitude than this isle
of. Desolation does not exist upon oar
wrecked planet;
Neither the snowed Himalaya nor the
sands of Sahara can outvie its terrors. '
No inhabitants are there, not even a
savage--no house, no tree, nu fence nor
road, .no field, nor garden, . no horse, no
dog—not even a snake or a wolf.
Lone, blasted and buten, it Woke like
skeleton of Aland tb4baliferilba
....32.4asyleizaleallb44himiatirm-A•
the relic—the surviving fragment—of
continent that went down here countless
ages ago, with hosts of inhibitants, in
some vent convulsion of nature.
It has certainly undergone dreadful
I na' Rations. ' been rent by earthquake, pul
verized by frosts, lashed and waded by
fierce tempests.
Its mountains are only of moderate
height, but are capped eternally with
snow.
Its vegetation is limited to a few
dwarfish plants, including some mosses,• a
species of lichen, a coarse grass, a plant
resembling a small cabbage, and sort of
cress.
Its winds are raw and piercing, its
slimmers cold and frosty, its wintertthose
of the Polar Circles.
,The interior of the island is occupied by
immense boggy swamps, where the ground
sinks at" every step.
The rains m Desolation are almost in
cessant, in their season, and the island is
accordingly veined with numerous tor
rents of fresh water, some of which have
worn out of the solid rocks tre
mendous cavities and gullies. The only
other season than that of the rains is one
of almost constant snow.
The foga of that ghastly region are
well worthy of the rains, being of a cloud
like density, and hovering almost contin
ually over the whole face of the island.
The sun of Desolation is usually hid
den by a canopy of lead-colored clouds,
and appears, on the rare occasions when
it is vubble, scarcely brighter than the
moon iu other latitudes. As to the moon
itself, and the stars, the clouds and fogs
rarely permit them to betray their exis
tence.
No fish worthy of note, not even fishes
of prey, abound in the adjacent waters,
by reason, perhaps, of their containing
poisonous minerals; or deadly exhalations
from the volcanic fires beneath them.
Yet the dark grim sea inelosing Deso
lation has done something to repair the
sterility of the island.
Penguins, ducks, gulls, cormorants and
other manes birds are plentiful in some pf
its harbors.
Seals also abound.
Strange and terrible land I
Not a single human being, so far as is
known, has ever lived there, save as is
now to be recorded in these pages.
Neaa the middle of a dull, dismal af
ternoon, some eleven weeks later than the
date of the preceding events, the good
ship Flying Childers drew near to the is
land of Desolation, shaping her course
toward its northermost bay, called by Cap
tain Cook Christmas Harbor.
A fair breeze was blowing from the
north, and the ship was carrying every
stitch of her canvas, including studding
Bails.
Her crew—both watches—were busy
about the deck, and her passengers—a
score in number—bad gathered in groups,
mostly forward, and were gazing with
great interest upon the wild, rugged
shores before them, so far as the fog sus
pended upon those shores permitted them
to become visible.
The ship had come here for water,
nearlyall her water casks having been
stove or started during a squall ten days
previously, and every soul aboard of her
having been since that date upon short
allowance.
Upon the quarter deck stood Capt.
Luke Pedder, looking unusually happy,
with Hawley 'beside him.
"I mean to get cur water aboard before
dark, Captain Pedder, and so avoid losing
a night here," said the young executive,
totally unconscious of the plot to leave him
alone on the desolate island, and of th
extraordinary adventures which tvem-bre
fore him. The strange events that hap
pened there, and indeed the whole of this
thrilling story will be found only in the
New York Ledger, which is now ready
and for sale at all the book-stores and
news-depots. Ask fur the number doted
July 13, and in it you will get the con
tinuation of the story from the place

Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed
_preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
oat, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old ago. It is the most eco
nomical Hem Dacssirro ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD.,
State Assayer ofMassachusetts, says,
"The constituents aro pure, and care- \
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PEEPA- •
RATION for its intended purposes."
