Alexis, the factotum of the establishment, obeyed his summons at the door, and showed him into the library, where he found Colonel Burr, alone, and engaged in his u*ual avocations. Burr received his young relative cordially, and in every respect, as usual. Neither in his manner nor his conversation was there any evidence uf excitement or concern, nor anything whatever to attract the notice of his guest. Kxeept the master of the house, 1 not a soul in Richmond Hill vet knew aught ! of that morning's work; nor, indeed, coidd it he said, in any sense of the word, that the master himself knew what he had done. ' In a few minutes, breakfast was announced, and tin: two gentlemen went to I Hie dining-room and breakfasted together. The conversation was still quite in the ordi' nary strain, Uurr inquiring alter friends in i the country, and the youth giving the inj formation sought. After breakfast, the i guest bade his host good morning, and i strolh'd oir toward the eit v, which he reached , about 10 o'clock.
