"Tell me, " said I, suppressing my emotions, "why did Ellen Lucas leave mo for you?" "Oh, young master, dear, if I tell you the truth, will you have mercy ?" "AEk mercy of him whose affair it is, if you think he will give it to such a fiend incarnate.— Answer my question, or I will dispatch you this in=tent." He started abruptly in the cart. "I knew her before she became your father's servant. She lived with me before ever you eaw her. It was all a scheme to better ourselves.— She gave me the money you gave her, and I liv ed upon it. We were not•relations. Now will , you let me go with my life, Mr. Philip? you see I am too despicable for your vengeance." I slopped my horse anti jumped from my seat, and taking hold of him, drew him from the cart to the ground. 4 , Enough," said I ; " /have it all now." The deep, husky, unnatural sound cf my voice as I said this struck terror to his heart. We had stopped close by a small tarn, or mountain lake, which lay pith its black waters glassy and still, dimly palpable to the eye, in the thick, cold, moonless night,—looking like a deadly snake, coiled up and motionit:ss, but with its fatal eye glancing upon you "Oh !" cried he, "do not throw me in there, tied up in this way, dear Master Erris. It is horrible. Any death but such! Oh, will you: will you spare mo ? I will make restitution of overy farthing—l will publicly acknowledge my villainy—l will submit myself to any punish ment the law may inflict. I will—l swear before that God that sees us two, whom I believe in, and dread to enact I I will go with you to the high sheriff, and confess my fraud ; and not one word of this night will I ever breathe to ear of mor tal ! I can do no more Master Philip. Now won't you, won't you? I will take my oath to this. Oh I won't you let me live ?" He woe en hie knees, bending forward his body, and looking upward in a supplicating pos ture, while the tears streamed o ver his face. I stood looking at him for a while. Now I knew what revenge was : this was something like it— not as on the night when I might have shot him, unknown, In the dark street. His hands were fast behind his back, andlis legs encircled with the rope, from the knees to the ankles. Thera he knelt. before mo, utterly helpless: now look ing at me, and noir taking a glance at the dim, silent pool below "Oh, my good young master!" ho continued, " what's the rise of killing me ? I could make you all you ever wore. I swear I will do it; only I must live I I cannot die—l dare not. I shall be damned—l feel it—oh, mercy, meroy 1" In theta last words hia voice rose to a maniacal cry of agonizing terror, while he twisted about, and danced upon his knees, in the extremity of his dread and anxiety. Approaching him, I bound a rope firmly around each ankle, and, passing them rapidly under the cart, tied his feet fast to the axle, with his face downwards. All the while ho continued hurried prayers for mercy, protestations, and piercing erica of des pair. Springing again to my place in front of the cart, I gave the rein to the horse, and it moved. I heard hie head and face, as, hanging down, they were dragged along, go knock, knock, on the stony hill-side : whilst his shrieks rang and echoed far away across the nntrodden moorland. I was now in a francy of excitement ; tha horse broke into a trot, a canter, a furious gal : lop, as, screaming, " Now—now you have it : this is indeed a revenge,—full, glorious revenge —new l—now I—now !" I lashed the animal into madness. Presently, the thick and murky night broke up; there were lightning, several peals of thualer, and a deluging fall of rain. Tho poor horse was furious. On it flew like the wind,—while I clung to the cart, whipping it now on one side, now on the other with frantic violence. In this way we dashed along for about three miles, when one of the wheels went to pieces. I was thrown to the ground, and the horse, after staggering on a few paces, fell among the atones, and lay on its side struggling and kicking, smashing the remains of the cart, and the mu tilated body of Ormond. All this time the rain continued to fall by bucketfuls. I sprang up, considerably bruised, but my bones all sound, and that was enough forme. My first proceeding was to out the rope•harness that bound the horse to the fragments of the cart: having accomplished this, I managed to get him upon his feet, where he stood trembling and drooping his head. Securing him to the sound wheel by the halter, I proceeded to search for and examine the body of my victim, which was scarcely to be recognized, from the horri ble mutilations it had undergone. I now began to scheme how I should dispose of the shattered remains of my enemy : a mo ment, and my purpose was formed. Catching the rope that tied the lege, I dragged it around to where the horse stood. As I came close with it, he snuffed the air, and started, tugging at the halter with all his force. Seeing this, 1 bound a hendkercheif over his eyes, and with a little difficulty succeeded in fixing it across his back. Jumping up behind it, I spurred towards the sea, and, after half an hour's gallop, reached the pleas where the hooker lay?, [To MI CONTE:MIDI NEW TRIMMINGS! NEW TRIMMINGS J.
