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

ret burden, like my own, only she will

ast night i:i my sight. And Mr. Suth-
rland does not Know what she has

•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

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
