the young officer's own opinion, however, all
these aids and applianca were nothing if they
failed tolebtain for him the ,one sole object,
- after prdfessional fame, of his' ambition-,—the
hand of I,tie beautiful girl bv Whom, since his
first visit to his father at Drarlands, hiSWhole

The frigate to which Lieut. Travers was
first appointed, after ktitic king . about the chan
nel through the winter, picking apa few
trifling prizes, was orOred to Portsmouth, to
be overhauled, . and have her defects made
"good; but being fouOct thoroughly infected
with dry rot. -was pntiout of commission,
and ultimately broken • up. The brush off
Trafalgar had crippled i Napdleon's marine ;
and as the breeze with Brother Jonathan had
not yet sprung up, lieutenants were in some
what less request that). Usual, and Travers I
took up his abode atiMarl'ands, undisturbed
for a considerable timeiby intimation or corn
wand from the Admiralty. Mary Wharton,
more beautiful, more interesting than ever,
received him, he imagined, with much more
cordial frankness than Ormerly ; Lady-Whar
ton seemed pleased w'ith his return; whilst
Sir Richard, who, he Instinctively < felt, had
long since penetrated :his secret, and with
whom, by the way,' lie had always been. a
great favor ite, expressed unqualified pleasure
at seeing him. Whit wonder, then, that the
illusions dispelled by:fOrmer coldness sholild
re-appear beneath the genial warmth of such
a reception ? There was no rival in the case;
of that he felt assured., Indeed, with the ex
ception.of the Rdveread Edinund Hartford,
pursue of the. parish church, and Mary's cou
sin, Lady Wharton and her daughter lived at
Archer's Lodge in tilinost entire seclUsion,
Sir Richartrfor three feurths of the year re
sided in London, and ;!when visiting Devon•
shire, surrounded bit:risen' with associates
whose manners and ',pursuits were anything
but congenial with', those of his wife and
daughter. As to tire' curate, accomplished
scholar and eloquent` divine as he was, and
much as Miss Whartim seemed to take plea
sure in his varied arid brilliant conversation
—not more, howeveril than did her mother
and Travers himself--any notion of marriage
with him was, the iiimtenant felt, quite out
of the question: FOintind Harford's salary
as curate Was only; !about ninety pounds a
year—he had no influential connections to
push him on in the church—and Travers•
thought he had ill rrad human character if
:Lady Itrharton, did aoy chance etist of Mary
allying herself with poverty , and wretched-
oess, would permit. on intercourse likely to
have so fatal a result; Thus reasoning:be
lieving, hoping, Travers surrendered himself
unresistingly to the, intluencely which he
"was enthralled. He walked, fished, played
at billiards with the baronet, participated
freely in the varirals modes he adopted for
killing time, except gaming, and awaited
i .
with torturing an.zi ty a favorable moment

and, after a fruitleia„attempt by the persons

as it proved mortally.
The baronet was ; hastily conveyed to the
nearest public ',Louie, and such medical aid as
the localityaffurdeil was instantly procured.
On examining . the:Wound, which was in the
chest, and bled internally, the surgeon at once
informed the sufferer that nothing could be
done to prolong, itineh less to save his life. '
" I thought so--felt so!" murmured the
unfortunate, gentleman, with white lips,
" Accursed chance !1' A few moments after

ance, and in a few; tninutes Sir Richard
Wharton had ceasedi to -live. About three '
weeks after the fun'eral of the deceased baro
net, Li.utenint Travers received a letter, on '
serviee,Wrom the AdMiralty; announcing his
appointment to a crack frigate: fitting for.sea
at Portsmouth, and 'directing him to ieport
himself on board immediately. This sum
mons rendered further' delav or ; hesitation
impossible. .He could not 'leave Marlands
without coming to a Oaak eiplanatian with
Ludy andLlVliis Wharton, arid he resolved it
shotilittake,pthet thdt very, Morning. , Not
a syllable bad yet prk'ssed his lips relative to
the' extraordinary disclosures made by Sir
i
Richard Wharton in 'his last moments, or to
the wishes he had Oxpressed regarding his
daughter. In the event, Travers mentally
argued, Of the acceptance of his suit by
Miss Wharton and her mother, there could
be no rea son for any coricealment from them;
they would not betMy the late baronet's dis

she,was penniless, and afterivard.s proffering
her his hand and tdttiine, - seetn to wish to

Full_of these cogitations and resoives, he ar
rived at Archer's. Lodge, where, to his ei
tre.me astonishment; he found the servants
packing up the furniture, as for immediate
removal . He He hurrised to the breakfast room,
where he found 'lady Wharton and her

"What is the Meaning of this?" he de

"Indeed Ave are, Mr. Travers," replied
; Lady Wharton. ",We received h letter yes

the lease of a house in ;Wales, close to Ed
