" Ben Burke has told us all the rest.
But, when Burke had got his spoils--when the biter had been bitten--therobber robbed--the murderer stripped of his murdered victim'smoney--when the bereaved miscreant, sullenly returning in the dark, damp night, tracked again the way he came upon that lonely lake--no oneyet has told us, none can rightly tell, the feelings which oppressedthat God-forsaken man. He seemed to feel himself even a sponge which, the evil one had bloated with his breath, had soaked... it then in blood, had squeezed it dry again, and flung away! He was Satan's broken tool--aweed pulled up by the roots, and tossed upon the fire; alone--alone inall the universe, without countenance or sympathy from God, or man, ordevil; he yearned to find, were it but a fiend to back him, but in vain;they held aloof, he could see them vaguely through the gloom--he couldhear them mocking him aloud among the patter of the rain-drops--ha! ha!ha--the pilfered fool!
Bitterly did he rue his crime--fearfully he thought upon its neardiscovery--madly did he beat his miserable breast, to find that he hadbeen baulked of his reward, yet spent his soul to earn it.
