Gertrude Clyde was the daughter
f i l:ulv of contdderahle wealth,
w.'uiri ii r early married life had
ived in the World of fashion in the
citv of N - w York but upon the
le.itn ni tier
band that occur-
re 1 wh"n Gertrude was quite young
hail retire i to her old homestead,
left her by her father, and passed
her days in the education of her
daughter.
Together in quiet enjoyment
Mrs. Clyde and Gertrude had spent
mativ plea-ant years, and ?urround
ed, as they were by elegance and
comfort, arel living in a refined
neighborhood, their lives glided
pleasantly on, without a ripple of
d,scontent or unhappiness to dis
turb them.
At the time this story commences
Ger'rude was eighteen, and having
receired a thorongh education; and
posieeing many accomplishments,
added to her beauty and wealth,
rendered her a great favorite with
all who knew her. Mrs. Clyde
having ruled the fashionable world
of her set, was ambitious, and looked
forward to her daughter, making a
brilliant match, when she would
oceupv a position for which she was
80 wtd 1 fitted.
Living lu-Lir Mrs. Clyde was a
Mr. Went worth, a man forty years
of Hge. a bachelor, and enormously
wealthy. His residence was oie of
the iiand-omest in the State, and
fumi-hed uith Eastern luxury and
elegan ce.
il' w;ts of a g'iol farni'y. an 1
having traveled all of his early life,
had returned hme to sp-oul his
day- m enj ivment. feed.ng his ap
petite for plea-ures without r gird
t i e.p-t. In fact, he was considered
' a n : ici pa ti ve mammas " as the
fit -it "catch" in the country.
A few months before the opening
f rhi story. Mr. Wentworth had
invited to visit him a distant rela
tive, i'reston Sylvester, who had
j::-t returned from Europe after
oon pleving bis education
I':. -stun was no ordinary man,
f r, bein.' young, hand.-ome, t;il
eiited, and possessing a noble n;v
ture, he bid fair to carve for him
3elf an enviable name.
Bving left an orphan at fifteen,
and having no means to live upon,
lie was at once thrown upon his own
exertions to maintain himself, and
nobly did he struggle, until Mr.
Wentworth hearing of big condition,
sent for linn to come and remain
with him.
Preston accepted the invitation,
and thaough the kinduess of Mr.
Wentworth received a thorough
collegiate education in America,
tind afterward passed two years in
Europe. He returned a polished
man of the world, but not spoiled
by itp praises.
Upon his return to America
he had gone to Riverside, Mr. Went
worth's handsome country seat,
aud it was while here that he had
met and loved Gertrude Clyde.
That voung lady returned his lore
with all the warmth of her nature ;
but ns "the course of true love
never run smooth," it did not make
an exception in their favor, for Mrs.
Clyde was bitterlj opposed to Pre8
ton; for though Madame Rumor
C, SATITKDAT,
reported him to b the btr to Mr.
Wentworth's vfcst estates, she pre
tended to have htard from a better
source than that gossiping lady
that he was not the heir.
Be this as it may, Preston had
determined to go oat West aixi seek
his fortune, and DO longer remain
dependent upon .Mr. Wentworth,
nnd it was upon the! eve of his de
parture that ho was. introduced to
the reader, as he jarxrte turning with
Gertrude from a 81 upon the river.
Arriving at the landing, Preaton
assisted his fair companion from
the boat, wid arm-narm they pro
ceeded to the house.
Mrs. Clyde was seated upon the
verandah, and as they ascended the
steps she reproved Gertrude for
remaining so late upon the water,
and coldly returned Preston's cor
dial b w to her.
Gertrude entered the house, and
Preston drawing h;s chair near to
Mr. Clyde, told her of his devoted
love for her daughter, and begged
that he might one day hope to claim
her.
Mrs. Clyde listened quietly to
all he had to say, and then the an
swer came, cool and cutting:
" Mr. Sylvester, you cau never
hope to gain the hand of Gertrude
Clyde, "with my consent. I disap-
prove altogether of yonr visits to my
liouse, and wish them to cease at
once.''
Preston rose slowly, almost
stunned by the blow, and, bowing
low, left the house. Arriving at
Riverside, he 6ouht Mr. Went
worth, in the library, and told him
of his blasted hopes, and his deter
min iti in to leave at one? for Cali
fornia, then the great resort of
thousands of fortune-hunters. Mr.
Wentworth tried hard to dissuade
him from his purpose, saying he
would tee Mrs. Clyde and all might
yet be well ; but finding him firm in
his resolution,- he placed in his
hands a chck for a thousand doU
lars, and wished him success in the
future.
Preston retired to his room, and
wrote a long, loving letter to Ger
trude, askiig her to be. true to hitn
for two years, and in that time ho
hoped to return rich in this world's
goods, claim her from her mother.
This letter he gave to Jack, a
faithful negro servant of Mr. Went
worth's, aud asked him to deliver it
to Gertrude.
The next day, after thanking
Mr. WTentworth tor all he had done
for him, he took his departure for
New Y'ork, and from thence, a
few days after, sailed tor San Fran
cisco. Nearly two years had gone by,
and though Gertrude had heard no
word from preston she remained
true to her love, discarding all whu
sought her hand.
ir. Wentworth was a frequent
visitor at Myrtle bank, Mrs. Clyde's,
place, and whenever asked by Ger
trude, if he ever heard of Preston
always replied in the negative.
One evening while taking tea at
Mvrtle-bank he announced to Mrs.
Clyde and Gertrude that lie would
leave in a lew da . s for Europe, but
only to remain a short time away ;
and upon leaving that nighthe bade
them farewell.
His arrangements were soon
made, and arriving in New Y'ork
he first went to the office of the
California steamers and engaged a
passage under an assumed name,
and then visiting the office of the
Liverpool packet, he registered his
name for a stateroom.
This done, he called at a barber
shop, and procuring a wig of long
black hair, and a fuavy beard, trie !
them on, and having satisfied him
self" with their looks of genuineness,
he ordered ttitm sent to his rooms.
Let me now return to my hero.
Seated in the door of a small cabin
in one of the wildest parts of Cali
fornia, is a man, who though brown
ed by long exposure, and having
long, curling hair and a silken
beard, is easily recognizable as
Preston Sylvester, lie is reading,
and as he "looks up from the page,
he lays the book aside, and rising,
advances to meet a man who is ap
proaching. "Can you tell me where the cab
in of Sylvester is?" asked the
stranger.
" This is it, and my name is Syl
vester.
" Then
I cm glad to meet you
My
Scott, and I have this
letter of introduction to you from
name is
Mr. Wentworth, said the stranger,
handing Preston a letter.
" Indeed yon are welcome. Come
in and place your things away.
How is dear Mr. Wentworth ? and
when did you see him last ?"
"Five months ago, and he was
very well- Do you expect to re
turn soon ?"
14 Yes. I have been more than
NOVEMBER 8, 1873.
fortunate, for I have not ohl dug
out a targe fortune, but my cam--panion,
who was rery lucky also,
hearing from home that an uncle
had died and left him an immense
estate, made me his heir leaving
with me all his earning ; srr I will
start back in a few day 9."
Until h late hour of the aight
the two men sat conversing, aud"
then retired to rest.
An hour passed, and then the
ftranger raised himself from his
blanket, acid seeing that Preston
slept, drew a knife and pierced it in
fa t side. . r-.
One groan escaped him, and
again all was quiet. The stranger
arose, wiped his knife upon the
blanket, and taking up his traps,
left the cabin.
Again Mr. Wentworth is at
Myrtle-bank, having just returned
from Europe. He is conversing
with Mrs. Clyde, while Gertrade is
glancing over some late papers just
received by mail.
Suddenly a cry escapes her, and
she falls forward upon the center
table. Both her mother and Mr. Went
worth rushed to her, but she stag
gered to her feet and cried :
" Oh, my poor Preston ! Mother,
he is dead ! See here !"
Mrs. Clyde seized the paper,
and read :
"A San Francisco journal con
tains a notice of the death of Mr.
Preston Sylvester, of New York, he
having been brutally murdered in
his cabin in the mines. No clue to
the murderer has been discovered,
and his body was only found some
hours after the deed, by a band of
Indian,?. Mr. Sylvester is better
known under the nom de plume of
'Tanhauser,' he having contributed
a number of pithy sketches and fine
poems to the press under that name.
His death will be universally regret
ed by his numerous admirers."
Mr. Wentworth turned very pale
as Mrs. Clyde read the account, and
rising begged to be excused, sayiru-r
he had loved Preston as his own
son.
Time rolled on and Gertrude
again mingled in society, though a
sadness and crept over her lovely
face and cast out the sunshine from
it.
44 Madame Rumor" said she was
soon to mary Mr Wentworth, and
for once the scandalous mndame's
tongue did not lie, for she had
yielded to his earnest entreaties and
the expressed desire of her mother,
and promised to become his wife.
It was evening, and Mr. Went
worth spt in his elegant library, his
face clouded and a bitter look hover
ins
around his mouth.
I'll read this precious letter
again,', he said speaking aloud, and
opening a letter he held in his hand
he read :
" Y'ou will no doubt be greatly
surprised to find that he that was
dead is alive again, but it is even
so I was found by some Indians,
and supposed to be dead, but finding
after a while that I yet lived, they
carried me to their village, and
though I lingered for months be
tween life ami death, I finally re
covered, thanks to their care. I
will stop in New York for a few
days and then join you, but do not
tell Gertude yet. I have a large
fortune at my command, and am
henceforth independent.
" Sincerely yours,
Preston Sylvester."
" So he has come to life again,
he ?" mused Mr. Wentworth. " But
he comes to late, for in four days
Gertude will be my wife. So my
pretended trip to Europe and long
voyage to San Francisco and back
was useless. Here, you black
rascal, what do you want?"
The last remark was to Jack, who,
unperceived by his master, had
entered the room.
" SuDDer is ready, sir
eturned
r
ii
Jack.
" Leave the room, 6ir, and see
that you knock another time."
The negro turned away mutter
ing :
" I'll write to Master Preston at
once to come here. How glad I am
I opened that letter when I thought
it was from him. So Master Went
worth did not go to Europe, but to
California and tried to kill poor
Preston. Never mind, I'll outwit
him."
It was noon the eve of Mr. Went-
worth's marriage with Gertrude, and
I the lovely moonlight night seemed
to promise a fine day for the morrow

Mr. Sykvater. I

returned Wentworth, coolly.
Not a step do you move frm
here until you give me satisfaction
for the wrong done me. You hare
two friends with yo Jack is here
with me. I have pistols: take. your
choice."
With a deep curse, Wentworth
took one of the pistols, and turning
to his friends, said :
" He has a right to demand
satisfaction, so I will give it to him.
Measure off ten paces, please,
Wright and Mercer, ret me speak
with you."
Soon all was ready, and Wehtv
worthy lighting a fresh cigar, took
his stand, whiLa Prestou. drew the
rim of his hat over his eyes in a
manner that showed he meant 'his
aim should be deadly-
Mercer gave the word's, which
rang out clear in the COol-night air :
' Gentleuan, are yon ready
" Ready,'' said Wettlworta, ,' in
answer, wnile Preston bowed a
response. And Mercer continnjed :

The last word was, lost in .the
reports of the two pistols, iand
Wentworth fell "heavily to 'the

Raising himself ou .one elbdw.

" 7 did wrong, my dear boy
forgive, me: for I am dying!" j: .
" I do forgive you, as 1 hope to
be forgiven,' said Preston, holfiing j
hard to the hand of Went worthy.
" Thank you ! I "
Bat the head fell back, - andj he
wa dead. . 'i
44 Mr. Sylyester, we will take his
body home, and break the news to
morrow to Mrs. Clyde; so youhad
best Leave at once," said WrighL...
Thanking the two gentlemen or
their kindness, Preston mounted his
horse, and, followed by Jack, left
the fatal spot.
The affair created a great excite
ment in the neighborhood, but. when
th truth waaknownhovv Mr. Went
worth had treated Preston, arid at
tempted to murder him, few! felt
much sympathy for dead man..
Gertrude grieved deeply over the
sad end of Mr. Vrentworth, thjough
she had never loved him; but! her
joy at knowing that Preston was
alive again overcame all other feel
ings. Mrs. Clyde waj prostrated at the
news, and, feeling that her ambits
j ious designs for her daughter had
caused the death of Mr. Went
worth, she received a shock from
which she never recovered, and,
after lingering for a few weeks,
died, a penitent woman.
Gertrude received a lDg letter
from Preston, telling of himself, and
begging for her love again. So,
after the death of her mother; she
I closed up the house, and, accom-
; nanied only bv her maid. Jack's
we' went 10 Richmond, where she
j met Preston, -and allowod him to
lead her to the alter and make her
his loving wife, being still : mere
devoted to him for the sorrows and
safferinirs he had crone throusrh for
love of her.
In a happy home in the far Sooth
Preston and his wife are Jrving,
and next to t!;emselvs the two, most
important prosonages on the planta
tion are Jack and his wife--Jack
