Another letter to Philemon a year !bter: Dkai; Philemon- Hasten home, Phlle- ■atoii; 1 tlo not like these absences. 1 nun just now too weak and fearful. 3ince we knew the great hope before ^ *s I have lookinl often in your face i Tor a sign that you remembered what | 'his hope cannot but recall to my ■shuddering memory. Philemon, Phlle- | •;non, was 1 mad? When I think what ! 1‘ said in my rage and then feel the lit- i Tie life stirring about my heart, I won- ter that God did not strike me dead rather than bestow upon me the great- vst blessing that can come to woman. 1 tPhilemon, Philemon, if anything Should happen the child! I tliink of it 4y day, I think of it by night. 1 know you think of it, too, though you show «e such a cheerful countenance and wake such great plans for the future. Will God remember my words or will At? forget? It seems as if my reason Aung upon this question. A note this time in answer to one Jrom John Zabel: Dear John—Thank you for words which could have come from nobody *lse. My child is dead. Could I ex- ®ect anything different? If I did, God lias rebuked me. Philemon thinks only of me. We un- Aerstand each other perfectly, now that our greatest suffering comes in «rach other’s pain. My load I can bear, 8mt this— Come and see me, John, and tell James our house is open to him. We have all done wrong, and are ff.aught in one web of misfortune. Let -It make us friends again. Below this in Philemon’s hand: My wife is superstitious. Strong and capable as she is, she has felt that this sudden taking off of our firstborn as a sign that certain words uttered by her *»n her marriage day, unhappily known you and, as I take It, to James also, have been remembered by the right- «ous God above us. This is a weak ness which I cannot combat. Can you, who alone of all the world beside know tooth It and Its cause, help me by a re newed friendship, whose cheerful and natural character may gradually make Sker forget? If so, come like old ueigh- •'toors and dine with us on our wedding day. If God sees that we have buried fflie past and are ready to forgive each >nher the faults of our youth, perhaps He will further spare this good woman, t think she will be able to bear It. She has great strength except where a llt- *ie child is concerned. That alone can laenceforth stir the deepest recesses of i».er heart. After this a gap of years. One, two. three, four, five children were laid atway to rest in Porchester church ward, then Philemon and she came to Sutherland to w’n, but not till after the ••Eertain event had occurred, best made fenown by this last letter to Philemon: Dearest Hush and—Our babe is born, our sixth and our dearest, and the re proach of its first look had to be met : A>y me alone. Oh. why did I leave you ?and come to this great Boston, where 1 fcave no friends but Mrs. Sutherland? .Did I think 1 could break the spell of Sate or Providence by giving birth to say last darling among strangers? I shall have to do something more fcban that If I would save this child to »ur old age. It Is borne in upon me Siike fate that never will a child prosper >»f my breast or survive the clasp of any arms. If it is to live. It must be reared by others. Some woman who lias not brought down the curse of toeaven upon her by her own blasphe- wiies must nourish the tender frame «nd receive the blessing of its grow ing love. ■ Neither 1 nor you can hope to see recognition In our babe’s eye. Before It can turn upon us with love It will close In Its last sleep, and we will toe left desolate. What shall we do. Alien, with this little son? To whose guardianship can we Intrust It? Do you know a man good enough or a wo man sufficiently tender? 1 do not. but If God wills that our little Frederick should live he will raise up some one £>y the pang of possible separation al ready tearing my heart. I believe that he will raise up some one. Meanwhile-1 did not dare to kiss the •"hild lest 1 should blight it He Is so sturdy. Philemon, so different from all £he other life. 1 open this to add that Mrs. Suther- and has just been in with her 5 weeks’ • rid Infant 11 is father is away, too, ind has not yet seen ids boy, and this their first after ten years of mar- "iage. Oh, that 1 had such confidence is she in a future of endless delight in ' his babe! The next letter opens with a cry: Philemon! Come to me. Philemon! i have done what I threatened. 1 have wade the sa ritiee. Our child is no conger ours, uid now perhaps he may Ive. But, oh, my breaking heart, my ‘inpty home! Help me to bear my des olation, f« r it is fur life. We will nev- -r have another child. And where is f ? Ah, that is the wonder of It! Near /on. Philemon, yet not too near. Mrs. Sutherland has It, and you may have **un Its little lace through the ear win dow If you were in the station last light when tin* express passed through Hutherlaudtowu. Ah, hut > lie lias "ler burden to bear, too an awful se- ret burden, like my own, only she will iave (he child, for, I lillcmon. she lias taken i! In lieu of her own, which died ast night i:i my sight. And Mr. Suth- rland does not Know what she has .lone and never will If you keep the se- •ret ns 1 shall for the sake of the life 'Jv' little inpoernt ha- tVns won -i« mi how w:> I; Philemon, it was God’s work, all but ] the deception, and that is for tin* good of all and to save four broken hearts "Swear you will he a mother to this child!” Listen. Yesterday, only yesterday—It seems a month ago—Mrs. Sutherland came again to see me with her baby in her arms. The baby was looking well, and she was the happiest of women, for the one wish of his heart and hers had been fulfilled, and she was soon going to have the bliss of showing the child to his father. My own babe was on the bed asleep, and I, who am feel ing wonderfully strong, was sitting up iu a little chair as far away from him as possible, not out of hatred or Indif ference, oh, no, but because he seemed to rest better when left entirely by himself and uot under the hungry look of my eyes. Mrs. Sutherland went over to look at him. “Oh, he Is fair, like my baby,” she said, “and almost as sturdy, though mine Is a month old er." And she stooped down and kissed him. Philemon, he smiled for her, though he never had for me. I saw It with a greedy longing that almost made me cry out Then I turned to her, and we talked. Of what? I can not remember now. At hotpe we had never been Intimate friends. She Is from Sutherlandtown, and I am from Porchester, and the distance of nine miles is enough to estrange people. But here, each with her husband ab sent and a darling Infant sleeping un der her eyes, interests we have never thought Identical drew us to each oth er, and we chatted with ever Increas ing pleasure. Suddenly Mrs. Suther land jumped up In terrible fright The Infant she had been rocking on her breast was blue; the next minute it shuddered; the next It lay in her arms dead. I hear the shriek yet with which she fell with it In her arms to the floor. Fortunately no other ears were open to her cry. I alone saw her misery. I alone heard her tale. The child had been poisoned, Philemon, poisoned by her. She bad mistaken a cup of medi cine for a cup of water and had given the child a few drops In a spoon Just before setting out from her hotel. She hafi not known at the time what she had done, but now she remembered that the fatal cup was Just like the other and that the two stood very near together. Oh, her Innocent child, and oh, her husband! It seemed as If the latter thought would drive her wild. “He has so wished for a child,” she moaned. “We have been married ten years and this baby seemed to have been sent from heaven. He will curse me; he will hate me; he will never be able after this to bear me In his sight.” This was not true of Mr. Sutherland, but It was useless to argue with her. Instead of attempting It I took another way to stop her ravings. Lifting the child out of her hands, I first listened at Its heart and then finding It was really dead—I have seen too many life less children not to know—I began slowly to undress It “What are you doing?” she cried. “Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Webb! What are you doing?” For re ply I pointed to the bed where two lit tle arms could be seen feebly fluttering. “You shall have my child,” I whisper ed. “I have carried too many babies to the tomb to dare risk bringing up another.” And catching her poor wan dering spirit with my eye, I held her while I told her my story. Philemon, I saved that woman. Before I had fin ished speaking I saw the reason re turn to her eye and the dawning of a pitiful hope in her passion drawn face. She looked at the child In my arms, and then she looked at the one in the bod, and the long drawn sigh with which she finally bent down and wept over our darling told me that my cause wou. The rest was easy. When the clothes of the two children had been exchanged, she took our baby In her arms and prepared to leave. Then I stopped her. “Swear.” I cried, hold ing her by the arm and lifting my other hand to heaven, “swear you will lx* a mother to this child! . Swear you will love it ns your own and rear It in the path of truth and righteous ness!” The convulsive clasp with which she drew the baby to her breast told me plainer than h* r shuddering "1 swear!” that her li< art had already opened to it. 1 dropped her arm and covered my face with my hands. I could not see my darling go. !t was v.rrse than death. “Oh, God. sav • him!” 1 groan ed. “God make him an honor”— But here she enn.-ht me by the arm. Her clutch was fn i/.ied, and herteeih were fbaUeringV wear in your turn,” she ga-ped; ‘Vfcvvenr that if 1 tin a mother's i duty lyK tliis hoy you will keep my secret/ wild never, never reveal to my In 1 -Wind, to the hoy nr to the world that you have any claims upon him." It wfyt like tearing the heart from my hreust) with my own hand, hut I swore, Philemon, and she in h o* turn stood ! hack. But suddenly she faced me again, ‘error and douht in th her looks., "Votir iii-duind!” site whispere*. 'Vim you i ) * ’ t r i him? i'< n . . ik iU > oui iL eaWfc* !!> t shall tell him.” I answered. “Tell him!" The hair seemed to rise on her h ad. and she shook so that I feared she would drop the babe. "Be cu’.efr.l!" I .Tied. “Wee, you frighten the babe. My husband has hut one heart with :ite. What 1 do he will subscribe to. i>o not fear Philemon." So I promised iu your imme. Gradually she grew calmer. Win n I saw she w«.s steady again. I motioned her to go. Even my '.More than mortal strength was failing, and the baity—Philemon. I have never kissed it. and l did not kiss it then. 1 heard her feet draw slowly toward tin* door. I heard her hand fail on the knob. In iird it turn, uttered one cry and then— They found me an hour after lying along tin* door clasping the dead infant in my arms. 1 was in a swoon, and they till think I fell with the child, as perhaps 1 did. and that its little life went out during my insensi bility. Of its little features. like and yet unlike our boy's, no one seems to take heed. The nurse who cared for it is gone, and who else would know that little face but mo? They are very good to me and are full of self re proaches for leaving me so long in my part of the building alone. But. though they watch me now, I have contrived to write this letter, which you will get with the one telling of the baby’s death and my own dangerous condi tion. Puder it these words: “Though bid den to destroy this, 1 have never dared to do so. Some day it may be of ines timable value to us or our boy. Philemon Webb. This was the Inst letter found in the packet. As it was laid down sobs were hoard ail over the room, and Frederick, who for some time now had been sitting with his head in his bauds, ventured to look up aud say: “Do you wonder that I endeavored to keep this secret, bought at such a price aud sealed by the death of her I thought my mother and of her who really was? Gentlemen, Mr. Suther land really loved his wife and honored her memory. To tell him, as I shall have to within the hour, that the child she placed iu his arms 25 years ago was an alien and that all his love, his care, his disappointment and his suf ferings had been lavished on the son of a neighbor, required greater courage than to face doubt on the faces of my fellow townsmen or anything. In short, but absolute arraignment on the charge of murder. Hence my silence, hence my indecision, till this woman here”— he pointed a scornful finger at Amabel now shrinking iu her chair—“drove me to it by secretly threatening me with a testimony which would have made me the murderer of my mother aud the lusting disgrace of a good man who alone has been without blame from the beginning to the end of this desperate affair. She was about to speak when 1 forestalled her.” That afternoon before the Inquest broke up the Jury brought iu their ver dict. It was: “Death by means of a wound inflict ed upon herself in a moment of terror and misapprehension." It was all his fellow townsmen could do for Frederick. CHAPTER XXIV. FATHER AND SON. But Frederick’s day of trial was not yet over. There was a closed door to open, a father to see (as Iu his heart he still called Mr. Sutherland). Then there were friends to face, and foes, under conditions he. better than any one else, knew were In some regards made worse rather than better by the admissions and revelations of this eventful day—Agnes, for instance. How could he meet her pure gaze? But it was his father he must first con front, his father to whom he would have to repeat in private the tale which robbed the best of men of a past and took from him a sou, almost «. wife, without leaving hita one memo ry calculated to console him. Frederick was so absorbed in this anticipation that he scarcely noticed the two or three timid hands stretched out In en couragement toward him and was mov ing slowly toward the door, behind which his father had disappeared so many hours before, when he was re called to the Interests of the moment by a single word, uttered not very far from him. It was simply, “Well?” But it was uttered by Knapp and repeated by Mr. Courtney. Frederick shuddered and was hurry ing on when he found himself stopped by a piteous figure that, with appealing eyes and timid gestures, stepped up be fore him. It was Amabel. “Forgive!” she murmured, looking like a pleading saint. “I did uot know, I never dreamed you were so much of a man. Frederick; that you bore such a heart, cherished such griefs, was so worthy of love and a woman’s admira tion. If ! had”— Her expression was eloquent, more eloquent than he 1i:h1 ever seen it. for It had real feeling iu it, but he put her coldly by. “Wlii'ii my father’s white hairs be- •onio black again, and tin* story or my 'inline is forgotten iu this never forget- ling wot id, then come back and I will forgive you.” And lie was pa iugon when another U udi detained him. He turned, tidi dine in some impatience, only to mn t tie frank eyes of Sweetwater. As li knew very little of this young ma. Save that ho was the nuiuteur detective tjlio l ad by s me lolly of ids own been lurried off on tin* He? per and who wa ptubiibly the only man saved from its wt i. he was a! ml to gieet him with •oiuo c. niLe npluce phrase of e ngratu hition when Swi t w ater luteirupb u him with t. e following words: “I < nly want'd to say Hint it may be •asii r t ir . on to apji; aeh your fatln i w Mil the re\i-iatiot'. _\ »u are nii iut t > ike if you ! a w that In his present ‘'rame «T i. ,, i he is nmch more likelj to be rt he ed ky .* . eh proofs of inn. ■once ic y n < m g'./e him than over ' rimed I •• hr ?• *v i 1 m- Oi't-P bU i h/ua. Fur two v.m!: Mr. Sutherland has hern "bonding un der the belief of your personal crimi nality in tliis matter of Mrs. Webb’s death. Tliis was his secret, which was shared by me.” “By you?” “Yes. by me. I am more closely link ed to this affair than you can readily imagine. Some day 1 may be able to explain myself, but not now. Only re member what I have said about your father—pardon me. Mr. Sutherland— ami net accordingly. I'crimps it was to tell you this 1 was forced back lieie against my will and best Interest by the strongest series of events that ever happened to a man. But.” he added, with a sidelong look at tin* group of men still hovering about the coroner’s table, “I had rather think it was for some more Important office still. But this the future will show, the future winch 1 seem to see lowering in the faces over there.” And, waiting for no reply, he melted Into the crowd. Frederick passed at once to his fa ther. No one Interrupted Frederick after he had shut that door behind him. but the large crowd that in the halls and on the steps of the building awaited his reappearance showed that the pub lic interest was still warm in a matter affecting so deeply the heart and in terests of their best citizen. When, therefore, that long closed door final ly opened and Frederick was seen es corting Mr. Sutherland on his arm, the tide of feeling which had not yet subsided since Agatha’s letters were read vented Itself in one great sob of relief, for Mr. Sutherland’s face was calmer than when they had last seen it and his step more assured, aud he leaned or made himself lean on Fred erick’s arm, as if to impress upon all who saw them that the ties of years cannot be shaken off so easily and that he still looked upon Frederick as his son. But he was not contented with this dumb show, eloquent as it was. As the crowd parted and these two imposing figures took their way down the steps to the carriage which had been sent for them Mr. Sutherland cast one deep and long glance about him on faces he knew and faces he did not know, on those who were near and those who were far, and. raising his voice, which did not tremble ns much as might have been expected, said deliberately: “My son accompanies me to his home. If he should afterward be wanted, he I a \"* I y "My son accompanies me to his home. ” will be found at his own fireside. Good day. my friends. I thank you for the good will you have this day shown us both.” Then he entered the carriage. The solemn way in which Frederick bared his head in acknowledgment of this public recognition of the hold he still retained on this one faithful heart struck awe Into the hearts of all who saw It. So that the carriage rolled off In silence, closing one of the most thrilling and Impressive scenes ever witnessed in that time worn village. This story will be continued in the Friday edition of The Ledger until its completion. Woman is less suspicious ol flattery than any other animal. Wise is the man who knows what not to say to a woman. The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist. b ES r* BannnunrmT;’ tittith Ike Ditcoverer of Swamp-Root at Work la Els Laboratory.
