Being apparently a gentleman in every sense q£. the word, Mr* Suinp- hill was admitted to the best society in List new home, And a year lUter he was married to Sarah Jones, a beau* tiful heiress, the wedding festivities being celebrated with extraordinary pomp and splendor. In course of time two daughters were born to the young couple, and everybody pre dicted a long career of cloudless hap* piness for them. Alas! How lerribie those bright anticipations were to be disappointed. It was on Christinas eve, in 1801, that a strange looking man, in a sort of military uniform, appeared at the house of Mr. Semp hill, who was in Richmond at the lime. Mrs. Semphill received the stranger in the parior. “Do you speak French, madam,’’ he said to her in very broken Eng lish. She replied in the affirmative. “Then, madam, please send your two nurse girls with the children out of the room.” She did so, and looked interroga tively at her visitor. The latter hesitated a moment. Then he said in a tone of deep emotion. ’‘Poor lady, I have terrible ti lings for you.’’ “Heavens!” she cried, turning very pale, “my Husband—” “Your husband is an infamous vil lain ” “Sir!” she exclaimed, indignantly. “lie has basely deceived you, lie an escaped galley slave, a thief and a murderer She uttered a heartrending scream. “Do you tell me the ti nth?” she gasped. “lie is a Spanish .thief, and was sent to the galleys of Barcelona for life. lie ( madg, jus escape from thence, and fled to Cuba, where he rol»bciI<Wn4 «nfui^ettd* if rfcW planter. wher^cj^nv^r^y^^ihf^; T, 'finl»9ii}d«0half%n.|ia«I-: hefcrame .stranjB*ixjjalnicr.j\*JJ*-v- C ii ;4 *£»d! 4 *‘ ,re '%#b vnUtti?*. me t<tbdidl*printtefint wfitb —wiflfDL*. tacri r«M w! c} rm ekteofcji , 1T j»ikiIf} ©& 'i*>. tabled d “Ills tine name is.Jjuau Ce you will.hA.nfo remaln 'ln Dutfijom iug room nnttf from Ric thc Governon-Gokoral offered a»large reward. *'' One dark night a man was watch ing the sentinels pacing in front ot the Governor's palace, Havana. As they turned their backs and sepa rated for a moment the man sprang through the entrance unobserved. He {tossed up thu broad stairs, saluted in an imperious stylo the guard there stationed, and pasaed into the Gover nor General’s room. The Governor, engaged in writing, looked up as the man ooolly cast aside the cloak, ex claiming : “Who enters unannounced f” “One who has information of the pirates.** “What of them?’* said Tacon, earnestly. “One moment —I must not sacri- fice myself.” “You have naught to fear. Even if you be one of their., yon will be pardoned.” “Will you pardon and reward me if I reveal the lurking place of the pirates, and put Marti into your bauds ?” “I pledge yon my word of honor,’’ said Tacon. “Your Excellency, I am Marti.” The cool scoundrel then entered into an arrangement with the Gover nor fortlio betrayal of alt'-the smug glers and pirates. Under his gui dance the Spanish - vessels sailed' to the ontlaws’ hiding- places, and rap tured those who were not slain. »:■ When Marti returned to Havana' lie was offered the pardon, which 1 he accepted, and money, which lie de dined, tn lieu of the reward, lie a-ked the monopoly of selling fish in * Havana. It was granted, and lie;'' er<. cted a magnificent stone market. 1 When he became master of enor mous wealth, lie built a theatre and named it after the Governor-General who had pardoned him.* 1 - •*-* *’d* J' 1i* f!-;.i: ,ii, - . ,; i{GojujoSj Are hoqrjirqp&rtMl to show the finest selection of DRY ^QQP^Hl&tUe l«we*t» pvifiea,' evgrjoffereil in.this-.citv, av.
