The Huron Expositor, 1877-08-17, Page 2EXPIATION. I.—Continued. " Say no more about it, Wylanct I will give you the money at once." The generousl fellow rose from his seat, un- buttoned his vest, took Out a sheathed dagger from -his girdle, which he put on the table behind his plate; he then _ opened his belt, and took from it a 1.4:) note and 5 guineas, which he handed to Wyland. , "Here," he said, heartily. "this ten- "ner will tog you out anew, Wyland,e,nd the yellow boys will keep you going on a few weeks. - I wish this may be the be- ginning of a happier life for you." He replaced his belt, buttoned his Vest, but he forgot• to put back the dagger, which was left lying on the table, more than half hidden behind a plate. Wyland was profuse in his professions of gratitude. More with a view to, put an end to them than for any other set- tled purpose, and led on by a strenge fatality, Harry casually asked him'if he happened to know the neighborhood of Hackney, and if he bad ever heard bf a place -thereabout called HoneysuPkle Villa. Now, curiously enough, Wyland —a notorious leg and inveterate gamester -e-had some time back made the iac- quantance of a sporting market -gardener ... living near Hackney, in a part which -m the beginning of this century was thihkly studded. over with small farms, mariket- gardens, fields,, meadows, clusters of wood, &c., with a few stray couhtry mansions, villas, and. cottages sprinkled in here and there, and intersected. With green. country lanes, avenues of trees, &c. On one of !his visits there he .had been struck with the somewhat gaudy appearanoe of iOttight yellow gate, with a kind of clock -tower on the top of it, whiah his friend bad told him was the back entrance 6 the grounds of Honey., I suckle Villa. Wyland eagerly volUnteered to Icon - duct his generous patron to the turn in the high road where the lane branched off, leading dirett, though through some tortuous windings, to this very gate, about a mile and a half distant. Harry gladly accepted he effeteand, as ' twi- light was fast censing on, rose to go. He left the room first, Wyland staying be- hind a minute or so to secure his money about his person, as he pretended to Harry, but in reality to lay hold of Har- ry's dagger, with no clearly defined ob- ject, perhaps, iiist then, but rather with a sort of villainls instinct merely. When the two had reached the turn in the high road, Wyland repeated to Harry his in- structions how to get to the back en- trance- to the grounds of Honeysuckle Villa, showered another profuse out- pouring of gratitude upon his benefactor, and professing lhis anxiety to reach his humble dwellin in the Borough before, 9.30 o'clock, turned on his way back to the city after a ,final warm shake hands with Harry, whom the wretch was all the time busy planning in his vile brain to despoil of the covetous contents of his belt. So after walking on some 50 yards in the direction of the city, he suddenly turned to retrace his steps, , and passing swiftlyi on to a lane a little above that taken by Harry, he ran along at the top of lis speed. Night was falling fast by this time, and when about a quarter of an hour af- ter he emerged breathless from a side - path near a clump of trees looking straighten this glaring yellow back gate to Honeysuckle Villa, only 'about 25 . yarda distant, it was quite dark but for a glimpse of bright moonshine now and then, when the drifting clouds left free a smaller or larger section of night's:pale luminary. Wyland tore a stout branch of one of the trees and fashioned it speedily into a bludgeon, as he was riot then intent on murder, but simply on depriving his intended victim temporar- ily of conscioueness that he might te- eurely rob him.1 About five nssnutes after Harry Wilder carne up to the! spot. He was passing the clump whete the cowardly ruffian stood in ambush. A fearful blow of the bludgeon, dealt with Wyland's whole force, brought the unhappy young man heavily to the ground. His assailant at once threw hinrself upon his prostrate victim. He tore open the vest, then atnbuckled the belt- and transferred it to his own person. He stripped him also of his pocket book, watch and chin, and even of hie rings. Though he did his work with the utmost expedition, it took him a couple of minutes to do all this; and wherthe was just on the point of swiftly making his escape from the .spot, Harry, who had been only partially stunned, suddenly rose from the ground and closed withthe bandit. . Th moon just then peeped- out from behin the clouds, and by her light Wil- der re Ognizecl the figure and. face of his assail nt. 1 i a !" he shouted, ,equally amazed andiadignant ; "ba, Wyland, you mur- •leroue hound! Rs this your gratitude for my kindness ?- Look to yourself, scoun- drel, for I will not spare you !" and ex- erting all his great strength, he bore the robber to the ground and grasped him by the throat with a fierce clutch. fhe chances were ten to one now that Wy- land would soon be helpless, at the mercy of the man when he had just knocked down and despoiled with such almost in- credible basenees. But at this critical juncture the villainrememberedthe dag- ger in his pocket. With a last effort he managed. to clraw it -out and to plunge it up to the hilt itto Harry's left side. The unhappy Wilder's grasp relaxed; he fell back with a groan—dead. Phe murderer tonfrom the ground. For a brief moment he stood transfixed with horror ; then he shook himself together, •crying, with a forced brutel laugh, "That drive has gone straight home, I know. Better you than I, Master Har- ry. Fool! why could you not remaini unconscious a few minutes longer? and why must you- take it into your con- founded stupid head to abuse and threat- en me? Ay,I have had a narrow squeak for it; two rainetes more, and 1 was clean gone. But what is this? Who the devil can be corineg this way? Off with you, jonathan I This is a hanging mat- ter, and 1 have been too near strangula- tion just now ti take kindly to the no- tion of the Tyburn tree." , He crept stealthily back to the shelter of the trees, whence he made his way s w, hy.ph,itf lya tand a 8 noiselessly as he could. to a and thus on to the high. road. -There was none tie pursue him. George Armoiale passed a fearful Sun- -day at home. All day long he was cast- ing about in his tortured brain for some way of escape-tnot for himself, but for his adored wife and child. He was ready to catch tat any straw; but he racked his mind. hi vain. At last well nigh maddened with. his -despairing thoughts and reflections, he rushed out into the lanes to cool his fe- vered brain. Here he wandered about mechanically, he barely knew where or whither,' ntil he found himself at last near his wn gate again. When he came up the 1aia the, moon suddenly shone out brigh y. In the path before him he saw a m4i lying stretched on his back, with the noonbearns full upon him. He stopped short in his walk ; he called out to the m —no answer. Be knelt down by his si e ; he tried to lift him up; the body fell ack heavily. Good God! he was dead He gazed half abstractedly into the ace, over which the pallor of death ha, fully spread elready. Just ere he ha4 been leaving the house, an hour or so bef re, he had gazed at his own facesin the mirror, and he had shudder- ed at its ghastly pallor. Gracious heav- ens! could this; be ought but a delusion, a fancy born (4, the distraction of his brain? He was gazing into his own face the sarrits he had seen it an hour ago in the irror. He gazed again and again. $o, it Was no delusion. He saw indeed, before him an exact counter- feit of 1irnseJ. And in the over- wrought tate of his nervous system a singular chain, of thought flashed through is brain with strange vivid- ness and completeness, and a super- stitious chnviction took full possession of his mind that the Almighty had heard his agoni ed prayer, and that here was plainly p listed before him the way of shieldingj his wife and child from the most gri vette part, at least, of the suf- fering hi gross misconduct hacl inev- itably br ught upon them. His re elution was taken. He rose, lifted th body up in his arms, and car- ried it in ide the yellow gate. Next da Mr. Ge rge Arindale told the junior cashier t at he %%amid himself drive over to Barki g in his trap, to take the £15,000 to Mr. J nes. On Tu sday morning a fearful rumor spread t rougla the city of London. Mr. George 4rmdae, the well-known and. universal_y respected mabager of Ster- ling's Bajik, had been found murdered. on the road to Barking. The dagger with which t e crime had been committed had. also been i found. It was said. to bear eng aved On the blade the words "Harry Wilder," presumably the name of the urderer. The rumor turned out to be but too tree. Poor Armdale had bee taking £15,000 to Mr. Jones of Barking. This fact must somehow have be otne known to the murderer, ,e/ho elea ly had waylaid the unhappy victim to snatch this fat prize. The mur- dered min's purse, watch, chain, seals, breast-pii, rings'and pocket -book, with memoran a and letters were found in - teat. Wby, indeed, should he who had made so large a haul trouble himself with suc a trifle as a few guinnas a uda few paltr trinkets? The e citenient in the city was be- mense, a d the indignation unversal and extreme. More than £1,000 were sub- scribed i half an hour, to- be offeted as a reward for the capture of the murder- er. The Horne Secretary added another £500 on the part of the Government, with his Majesty's free pardon promised to all an any person and persons impli- cated in the crime, except the actual murdere . Sir Robert Sterling sent for one of th most sagacious among the fa- mous Bo -street runners of the period. He prom sed him £1,000 if he succeed- ed in un arthitig -the cowardly assassin, who had lain his meet valued and most highly e teemed and. beloved manager and frie d. Mr. -Sharp was a young man stilli but he did credit to his name: there wa not a sharper detective in Lon- don. II wever, he had so very little ma- terialto work upon. There was only the dagg r and the name on it. Now, who was Harry Wilder? The name was entirely nknown to the police. Then, again, w at proof was there that the murder° s weapon actually belonged to the asses in ? Before Tuesday night, however, it, ap- peared toj Mr. Sharp that a link in the chain ha4 been discovered: A gen leman from York, a Mr. Sam- uel Corb t, of Corbet Hall and Lundy Castle, who was then quite accidentally staying i London, called both at the chief offiie and on Mr. Sharp personally. He identi ed the dagger as being the un- doubted p roperty . of one Harry Wilder, a ruffianl young fellow (according to de- ponent's howing,) who had some time previous! ' committed a series of mur- derous as aults upon several York gen- tlemen,. mong the rest upon himself— Mr. Cor • • t- and who was quite capable of perpet ating any offense or crime. He had begu led an unhappy young lady,the only dau: hter and heiress of Sir Richard Markla II, formerly Lord Mayor of the city of erk, into a clandestine engage- ment with him, and when the aggrieved fatherha1 found it out, he had brazenly told him e did not wish to woo the girl as a penn. less suitor, but would go up to London back wit trous vill a mornen for the £15,000' Howev der was sued fro out resul and year spent in vering en of Georg not be fo The b poor orph ling ado joined ea in every murderer murderer bly fixed science. she was, akin to t widow a brecht of plant int little An undying of her hu praying t every nig unto her Harry W Un hap m urderer There who kne the whole inexplica found po to stab th become of tionist haps, to s ever that of course counsel.

To unhappy Mary Markham the -blow -proved fatal. With the . sensitive sym- pathy and the marvelous intussusceptione of a loving woman's heart, she divined the truth. Heart -broken she pined and faded away with almostetartling ra- pidity,' and less than a month after her lover's sad catastrophe she was at rest; 11. The world was twenty years older. It was in the beginning of 1825, when the first nascent mutterings of the terri- ble hurricane impending over financial London hung threateningly suspended in mid air. In the coffee:Teem of one of the prin- cipal hotels of 1New York two gentlemen were discussing oysters, and the affairs Of the world in general. " Mind. my words, Compton," said. the one, " we are on the threshold of nasty events. There will be a smash in the great money mart of the old country— and it will come soon. It is the old story over again; collapse' after inflation. It is inevitable. Take my adviee, real' e 'everything while it may yet be time, ol- led your funds, and invest the same in real estate. I am now acting in my own case upon my advice to you, Just before I came over I concluded the purchase of Corbet Hall and Lundy Castle in York- shire." " What !" interrupted the other, "-has Corbet parted with those two splendid estates? You surprise, ,me, Warring- ton." (Why, of course, years ago. you surprise me. I thought everybody knew that Sam Corbet was ruined and sold up more than five years since;; I bought the estates of Sir Jonathan Wyland Bel - more." "Jonathan Wyland.! I know the name. There was a Jonathan Wyland some twenty years ago, hanging about London, a .ruined spendthrift,' it was said, a leg, and a billiard sharper. Sure- ly he cannot be the man ?" "He is, though—the very same. It seems he seddenly turned' over a new leaf, and established a business with some money lent him by his relations. He prospered. He paid off his old gambling debts, and started anew in the gambling and hotting line. ' His vast ex- perience must have stood him in good stead, for he has ever • since been most successful in all his undertakings. Per- haps you are not aware thatIthe Wylands are a collateral branch of the old Bel - more family. So, after the death of Sir William Belitiore, the last baronet in direct descent, Jonathan came in for the title and the estates about r4,'ve years ago. Sam Corbet was an old pal of Jonathan, who, it would appear, had: made large advances on Corbetts estates. The en- tail having been cut loff by Sam's father, Jonathan, finding his old associate in riot and debauchery completely done up, foreclosed, and brought the property to the hammer." "Well, live and learn, say L It is as- tonishing how things turn out. But what has become of Corbet ?" "Went to the utter bad. Mistook an- other man's name for his on, and put it to sundry bits of pa,per. lit was lucky for him that he was non inv' entus when they wante'd him. ' • -_ "What strange icissitecles of fortune, to be sure! As regards your advice, my dear Warrington, about the purchase of real estate, I can tell you I have for a Ion g time past had a notion' tot do some- thing of the sort. But with me ca ne presse pas, mou anti I My money is snugly housed. I bank with the Stir- lings, and they are as safe as the Bank of Eneland, you know." A white-haired old manaseated at a table a few yards off, here suddenly raised his head and glanced with anxious attention toward the speakers, who were too intent, however, upon their oyster e and wine to notice the fact. " If that is your conviction, Compton, I am very sorry to say. that I cannot agree with you, at least not altogether. Nay, I am.almost sorry to hear that you bank with the Sterlings. They are one of the oldest houses, no doubt, and one of the :most honorable. But I ean tell you I' heard some suspicious whispers about them just before I left Lon- don. I do not know whether you re- member how, some twenty years ago, George Armdale, the manager of Ster- ling's bank, was murdered by a villain of the name of Wilder, who somehow must have got wind that poor Armdale was conveying £15,000 to a customer. The poor fellow must have had even a larger sum with him at the time, as not a penny could be found after of his owe small capital and his wife's dower,which he moat likely intended to invest in house -property on the occasion." "Yes, I 'remember all ahout it, and the surprising escape of the murderer, and how nobly old Sir Robert and the present Baronet behaved to the poor widow and he orphan child." (To be Continued.) • An Evening Scene in the Rus- sian ()amp. - A correspondent of the London News, who accompanied the Fourteenth Corps in its march through the Dobrudja, sketches an early evening- scene near Trajan's Wall. Along the road, perhaps half a mile away were some Turkish horsemen on the slope of the next hill, and beyond this rise was a long unbroken ridge, with the Turkish camp extended along the eUaltnit in an irregular black line, with here and there white tents. The Russian army was drawn up in the foreground for the evening hymn which is always sung at sundown. The soldiers stood there in parade with their white caps under their arms, singing in chorus the sweet vesper hymn, with an interlude from the bands and bugles. The long lines of men without their acoutrements standing in reverential silence while the bands played a strain and then joining in the chorus with solemn earnestness— the twilight hour, the presence of the enemy, the grand lines of the enci rcling hills, all made it a scene to be remember- ed. After the hymn, orders were read that the darkeuniforms were, to be put on and 'that they were to be ready to ad- vance at daybreak, and that if any firing was heard in the eight they were to lie still and await the bugle call. Every soldier in the camp knew that a battle was expected, and in an hour the whole camp was asleep. —"Base is the slave that pays." Our creditors are asked to observe the poetic beauty of the foregoing line. Shake- speare was n'o slouch. ^ OPENED OUT THIS WEEK AT M.
