PA.. WEDNESDAY,
blaming yon but itaffyi-ded me nn op- j
portiinily lor a test winch I had peculiar
reason for dosiring to apply. I penned
a brief uotu to Mi Oglethorpe, gave it
to you to seal, and walched yuur after
proceeding from that window.. I tho't
the temptation would prove a sovero ono
and it you rose superior to it I need ncv.
or' have any fears concerning you. I
: was right, the tdirirka'tion was strong
too strong for your hotior Or integrity to
withstand. I saw you open the lettei
't was enough. I did not at all' wo.ider
when I heard of yon applying for a new
situation i 'on thought that I was acting
treacherously to you, and that you would
outwit inc. ' 1
Mr." liualu ceased, and looked fixedly
at Richard, whose whole counten
ance was suffused with blushes as the
true iiaiuio id his conduct' was brought
thus ciil ii'y to his -iew. In his indig
nant feelings ho had not till this moment
though of his dercliotioif'of ptinciplein
opening a letter not' intended tor his in
spection; now lit) was overwhelmed with
shame and remorse, ho was naturally up
right and ingenuous.
" Mi'. Bealo saw his conFus'on.nnd turn
ed lo his desk to pay what was duo of
Richard's salary, but first taking some
papers' from it secret drawer, threw thoiu
on iho table before the young man, '
'All this is at aii eild now,' lio said,
'hut you m iv, see how unjust your sus
pi'jions were lo nie, how injurious to
yourself, as I said awhile ago.! ; 1
Richard's eyes w-cyo intently bent upon
tho paper. Oi.u was in tho merchant's
h;indwiitiirg,a notice of Richard Wilkins
having beeii adinitlt'il as a jii'.ior partner
into hi own . and ustabli-hed business
firm; the others were, necessary business
papers relating thereto; Richard continu
ed giving at thorn as it fascinate 1,, till,
Iho iiu-ichaiit's voice b'roku tho spell. "
Well, ycilng man; do you understand
ihe iliatler nowi'
'Oh, ,-ir,' said Richard, tii'rniiig his
eyes imploringly on him, and ihcn unable
to rciress his tortured feelings, he bent
his be;id on the table lo conceal tlie hist
gushing tears. ',','' ,
' 'Regret is unavailing how,'' said Mr.
Dcalo, in his clear, cold tones 'I had
every reason to place 'confidence Iii you.
Dining llies ! four year I have observed
your ciiid.iot clo-'ely." It was sit.di as to

strict integrity and fahlifuluess, I had
decided to lake you into partnership, as

, My frienil.Mr.Oglethorji.l.ad fie()uen!ly

Ho hastened 6, ' and arriving there,
found tiio tower in a- poi foot condition.
It hud just been vacated by tiio garrison',
who had heard of the 1 approach ot the
PAustriaiis, and had been seized with a
panic thereat', and had fled, leaving their
iirnis, consisting of thirty muskols. .
. La Tour d'Auvergue gnashed his
teeth with rago as ho discovered this.
Searching in the ' building ' he Found
several boxes of animunilion, which the
cowards' had not destroyed. For a mo
ment he was in despair, but then willi a
gi'iin smi o he began to fasten the main
dooi' slid pile against it such articles us
lie eotiM lind. . ".' : ., "; '
; Wli.n ho had dono this ho loaded all
the guns he could find, and pdaued them,
together with a good supply of tho am
munition, under the loop holes that com
iniinded tho road ,'by" which Iho enemy
must advance. , , . ;
. Thou ho aio heartily of the provisions
which ho had brought, with him, and sat
down to wait. . llo had absolutely tormi
ed the horoip resolution to defend the
tower alono against tho enemy, , ' .
. There were soma thiiigs 111 his favor
in such an undertaking. Tno pass was
Bteep and narrow, and the enemy's troops
could enter it only in double files, and
in doing this would bo fully exposed id
the lire from tho tower. . ; ,
The original garrison of , thirty men
con)d easily Jiold it ngui.nat a divinlbii:
mid now onu niair was about to attempt
to hold it against a regiment.- . '.(' ..
, It; was d'trk when La Tour d'Auvergno
reachutl thu tower, and he laid in wait
some time for tho enemy. . They Wore
longer in coming than hulmd expected,
and for n time ho was tempted td believd
thoy had abandoned the expedition. '.'
About niidiiight, ''however,'' His prilo
ticed ear caught tho tramp of feet.
Evevy inoilieiit tho sound came hearer,
ami at last ho hoard thorn entering the
dclile. . Immediately he discharged
couiile'of muskets into the 'darkness to
let tlilin know that ho knew of their
presence and intentions, and ' he lizard
the quick,' shortcommiinds of the officers,
and, from tho sclilii.ls, He supposed that
tho troops were retiring from tho pnss.
Until the morning ho' was undisturbed.
The Austrian commandin, feeling sure
that thu garrison had b-'en informed of
his movement, . and was prepared to
leceivo him, saw that ho could not sur
prise the pest, as , ho had hoped to do,"
and deemed1 it 'prudent to ' wait until
daylight before making iho attack. ' '
' At sunrise ho summoned the garrison
to surrender. A . grouadier answered
tho summons. , ; , , - ;
'Say to your coii)maiidei' lid siiid, in
reply to tho liiesseiigcr, ..'that this garri
son will defend this post- to the last ex

Tlie ofilcei' that had, borne tho fing of

piece of artillery was brought into iho
pass mid.epoiiod on tho tower, lint to
'ffect this the piece, had to be rHaced
direutly in front of the lower, and within
easy musket ' range of it.'. They had
scarbely gut the gun in position when a
rapid fire, was opened oil , it from the

soldier, proudly. . . !'."
