In a duel, Burr visited Boston, and Mr.
Devereux of Salem paid him some at-

Boston atheneum, where, whllo the
two men were walking through the gnl

pened to catch sight of a bust of Ham

The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con
front'd w ith the sight of tho features
of the man he bud slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed. He also espied the
bust. and. although Mr. Devereux had
