The Winter morn of cheerless gray
Dawns slowly up the eky :
And in the cold, bleak light of day
The drifting snow wreaths iie.
But all green things are lost to sight
Beneath a weight ot snow,
And down into the cold dark night
The Winter day doth go.
But 'r:id the gloom of wintry skie3
I see a vision fair
Of fresh Spring morns that brightly rise
With sweet and balmy air.
Even thus, most gracious Lord, amid
The gloom of death, we *ee
Life everlasting ?af'ely bid
And garnered, Lord, in Thee.
The dreary grave is but the field
Where Hes the hopeful grain,
And what with many a tear we yield
Shai! be our own again.

Samoa in a New Light.
Bayard Used as a Tool by the
"Wily Bismarck.
WASHINGTON', " February 7.-This
morning Harold M. Sewall, consul
general of the Samoan Islands, re
ceived notification from the State
department that his resignation
would be acceptable, on the ground
that his views were not in harmony
with those of the Administration.
An Associated Press reporter call?
ed this afternoon upon Sewali and
asked for a statement of the reasons
given by the State department in its
request that he should tender his res?
ignation as consul general to Samoa.
Sewall in reply said :
'The reason given in the letter ask?
ing my resignation is a disagreement
iu my expressed views with the views
entertained by the State department
in regard to Samoan affairs. This
refers, 1 suppose, to the testimony I
have given before the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations, and which
has uot yet been published. No dis?
approval of my conduct in Samoa as
consul general has ever been ex?
pressed by the State department so
far as I know, and, indeed, it will ap?
pear from the communication 6ent to
Congress in regard to the situation of
affairs in Samoa that the department
wrote me commending my course in
the trying and delicate position, as it
was styled, in which I was placed
during the deposition of Malietoa at
the time of the conference of the
Powers.
.Only two months ago when I re?
quested that my leave of absence be
extended, the request was denied for
the reason as stated, that the situation
of affairs in Samoa rendered my pres?
ence there advisable, a suggestion,
no doubt, even then of my fitness for
the place. As is well known, I was
on my way to my post when summon?
ed to Washington to testify before
the" foreign relations committee.
La9t Thursday I was discharged by
the C( mmittee, and affairs in Samoa
being in a most critical condition, 1
immediately made arrangements to
return thither. No intimation was
given me that I should not be allow?
ed to du so until within a few hours
of my intended departure, when I
was notified to remain here. The
purpose was obvious My services
were needed immediately if at all
Another steamer would not sail until
March, and it was the evident inten?
tion to detain me until after the in?
coming of the next Administration,
upon which it is known I have not
the slightest claim to political recog?
nition.'
Referring to his testimony before
the Senate committee Mr. Sewall
said : '1 was under oath to tell what
I knew of Samoan affairs and to with?
hold nothing The views I expressed
on the situation and the remedy nec?
essary were given at the request of
the committee, lt was not for me to
consider whether those views agreed
with Mr. bayard's or not. I do
know, however, that my views coin?
cide with those of all Americans who
have given tue matter any thought,
the State department excepted, for
which I cannot speak.'
4 What are those views V
l\ believe,' said Mr. Sewall, with
deliberation, 'that the deposition of
Malietoa was determined upon before
the conference of the three Powers
began, and that it was the German
intention to carry out the policy it
had decided upon regardless of that
conference. The purpose of Ger?
man}' is to secure control of Samoa in
defiance of solemn and repeated as?
surances it has given to our Govern?
ment. Furthermore, I believe that
Lord Salisbury is a party to tin's
scheme, and that the movement
against Samoa is only a precursor of
au Anglo-German attempt to secure
supremacy iu the Hawaiian Islands.'
Mr. Sewall expresses the '?pinion
that sending Admiral Kin.o-rrly to
Samoan waters will accomplish noth?
ing, because he has no orders beyond
what had previously been given to
Commanders Leary and Mullan, who
could do nothing but protest.
As to what he thought should b"
done, Mr. Sewall said : 'I believe
with Secretary Whitney that a defi
no'te policy should be adopted in
Samoa. To send our ships there
with only their present instructions
is simply to subject their officers and
men to humiliation, or as Secretary
Whitney (using a polite term out of
respect, I suppose to Mr. Bayard,)
terms 'irritating conditions,' which
from their self-respect makes them re?
volt.'
Sewall said that v jatever his per?
sona! opinion of the attitude of Bay?
ard on Samoan affairs may be, he had
during his entire term of service loy?
ally and implicitly followed the Secre?
tary's instructions, notwithstanding
they placed him in a false and humil?
iating position.
'Said he : 'Asa representative of
the Government to which our citizens !
looked for protection, I was forced to
see indignities inflicted upon them, i
their property seined and their trade j
destroyed. 1 had no power whatever
to give them redress.'
Mr. Sewall said that the Germans
bad declared martial law in Samoa
previous to the recent occasion, hav- j
ing done so without notice to Amer- j
icaos, when war was declared against j
Malietoa, and at that time groad in- '
suits were offered to Americana
'Were my regret/ said Mr. Sewall
'at the loss of our prestige in the Fa
cific by our submission to Germai
aggression in Samoa the measure o
my humiliating experience there,
could await patiently the publicatioi
of my testimony and the certain re
suits of an aroused and intelligen
public opinion. But such is not th?
case. To my lasting chagrin am
sorrow, misled by secretary Bayarc
and acting under his instructions,
misled the weak and suffering Samo
ans into fresh misfortunes. Upoi
Secretary Bayard and myself, as ai
innocent instrument obeying his in
structions, must rest in large measun
a grievous responsibility for the di*6
tresses which now threaten the ver]
existence of the Samoan people.
'When I arrived in Samoa the in
8urrection of Tamasese, fostered bj
German officials for a purpose nov*
made plain, was on the point of disin
tegration. Malietoa, who had beet
relatedly held back by our repre
sentatives from asserting his author?
ity, had determined to tolerate thu
no longer. At this juncture, the da}
after 1 arrived, I received instruc
tions of which the purport was that 1
should restrain Malietoa. I did so,
giving him to understand-as Bayarc
gave me to understand-that neithei
lie nor his people would be allowee
fco suffer from following the advice 1
gave him in the name of our Gov
irnment. Malietoa yielded at my
solicitation, and our national houoi
was pledged that as a treaty powei
we would insist upon our treaty right
io the independent existence ol
Samoa. As events have shown, I
sould not better have served the Ger
nan purpose than by this mission ol
?nine to Malietoa. As a matter oi
Fact,-public documents before Con?
gress show that the instructions in
obedience to which I acted of this
occasion were sent me at the instance
)f the German and British miuisters.
[n less than a month German ships
arrived. Malietoa and his chiefs
were deported, the man whose life I
bad saved by my intervention was in?
stalled in his place. Pitiless perse?
cution began against Samoans sus?
pected of friendship for our flag, and
berman control was as effectually es?
tablished as under open annexation.
Having restrained the Samoans when
they could have destroyed Tamasese,
and with his destruction the basis for
German interference, during the re?
mainder of my service I urged their
submission to the inevitable, trusting
that finally, when the truth was
known our promises to them would
be fulfilled and our own honor saved
by the restoration of the status before
the conference, when I gave Malietoa
such fatal advice. Iii justice to my?
self, in the hope of securing it for
those people, I speak as I do.7
Sewall said that when preparing
recently to return to Samoa, after
being released from attendance upon
the Senate committee, he sought in?
structions f:orn Secretary Bayard,
but that all instructions he received
was a copy of an apologetic note to
the German consul on account of an
alleged newspaper interview with me
and fresh assurances from Germany.
As to the new conference which
has been agreed upon, Sewall said :
'I concur with everyone who has
studied the question that restoration
of the status cpto should be prelimi?
nary to any negotiation and that this
conference shall be renewed under
conditions at least as favorable to us
as when it was rudely interrupted by
Germany's action.'

ST MARIK, HA?TI, Jan. 23.-Gen.
Hippolyte has just gained a great vic?
tory. It is the most important battle
which has been fought in the civil war
in Hayti. "Battle'' is rather a mis?
leading word at the present instance,
for when 300 men are caught like rats
to a trap, with their retreat intercepted,
and they are then surrounded and shot
down at leisure with barbarous cruelty,
no quarter being shown, no prisoners
taken, and every liviug soul put, to
death, "butchery" seems to be the
proper characterization of the horror.
That was the scene witnessed y ..er?
da/ at the little seaport town of Grand?
e-line, about 20 miles from here, where
a detachment of Log mme's army was
completely annihilated. About three
hundred of Legi ti tn e's soldiers had been
seut ashore to hold possession of the
town after the shells of the gunboats
had reduced it to ruins. Many of the
inhabitants of the town Iud been killed
and wounded in the attack, but most
of the people had fled to the woods when
the bombardment began. Aft?r having
put thc troops ashore the naval vessels
steamed away from Grandseline, leaving
the land party without means of retreat
and entirely dependent upon their Own
resources to bold the town against a
f<rce outnumbering Legitime*? troops
two to one. Hippolyte'?! mott quietly
Hurrounded the town, remaining con?
cealed iii! the invaders should feel com?
paratively secure at the apparent absence
of any foe They poured into the town
from all sides. The Legitimist army
wa;? take n completely by surprise. The
contest was brief, but cruel and bloody
No quarter was shown ; uo prisoners
were taken, and the forces of Hippolyte
had the enemy absolutely at their mercy.
After a very brief but brave stand, and
after maDy of them had been killed and
wounded, the survivors of Legi ti tn e's
forces scattered and fled for the sea, io
the wild and despairing hope that they
might some how escape iu small boats
But they were pursued and shot down
like rats in the most iuhuman and blood
thirstv manner. No one was spared.

Lawyer Cleveland.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The firm of
which President Cleveland is io become
a member, has its office at No. 45, Wil?
liam street, and is one of the best
known iu its line in this city, and en?
joys a very large and lucrative practice.
It is composed of Francis Lynde Stet?
son, Francis ?3. Bangs, Charles W.
Bangs, Charles Edward Tracy. Charles
MacVeagh and Wayne MacVeagh, as
counsel.
It has been understood for some time
that President Cleveland was seriously
considering the selection of New York
city as a permanent residence, and a
number of guesses have been made as
to the Omi he would join fortunes with
Bangs, Stetson, Tracy aod'MacVeagh
bas been mentioned as the one most
likeiy to obtain bim, but no positive
declaration had previously been given,
luis now manifest that the president
stimulated that nothing should be said
until it canje from him. Mr. Francis S.
Bangs said to-day to your correspond?
ent :
"It is true that Mr. Cleveland will
become a member of thc firm when his
term expires,7 said Mr. Bangs. "We
have not said anything about the matter
because it concerned the President, and
he had the right to publish it when he
saw fit. I can say nothing about the
time that has elapsed since the nego?
tiations began. It is simply enough to
have it definitely known that he will be
a member of our firm fr-om March 5th.
I do not understand that he will en?
gage with us in active work on that
day. though he can if that is his desire.
Naturally, I should prefer that he
would take a vacation for a time,
though I know absolutely nothing
about his intentions. There bas been
uo plans as to a chaDge of the firm
name and there may be nooe. But
that will be a matter to decide later on.
It has become the custom, however for
old and established law firms in this
city to retain the old firm name no
matter what changes or additions may
take place. Ou and after March 5th
Mr. Cleveland will be our associate,
aud the finn will contiuue to do busi?
ness at the old stand no matter who is
president of the United States."
Francis Lynde Stetson of the firm is a
very warm admirer and close friend of
the president, and this probably influ?
enced Mr. Cleveland in making his de?
cision. A friend of his said last night :
"With his new connection Mr. Cleve?
land will probably have no worry about
the necessary wherewith to buy grocer?
ies and pay rent. New York society
by the arrangement, will have Mrs.
Cleveland, and this will be looked on by
all of us as of as much consequence as
the presence of the ex-president. In?
teresting questions will soon be pro?
pounded as to ?'ne position he will oc?
cupy in local politics, but the belief is
that he will refrain from any activity."
Dan Lamont will probably cow soon
announce definitely his plans. He is
presumed to have picked out New York
also as his residence, and rumor credits
him with having concluded arrange?
ments with the .Mutual Life Insurance
company, at a very large salary.
Hurrah for "Mrs. Tariff !"
Major Hanson's argument that the
negroes of the South are solid for the
doctrine of protection is not only un?
tenable, but amusing.
If there is one thing the average col?
ored voter does not understand, and docs
uot care whether he understands or not,
it ia the tariff. There are not the right
kind of "provisions' in thc bill to catch
the colored attention.
This phase of Mr. Hanson's very re?
markable .argument may be very well
illustrated by no anecdote that is re?
lated of the Hon. J. C. Greeley, four
years ago the candidate of the Repub?
licans for Congress in the famous 2nd
district of Florida.
Mr. Greeley, who is a Jacksonville
banker, and a man of ability and char?
acter, with an impes*ive manner and
physique, conducted a very active and
diligent canvass of his district, and de?
livered a number of speeches. These
speeches were made under great disad?
vantages, as the bulk of Mr. Greeley's
audiences were of a rather low order of
intelligence and information.
It was for this reasou perhaps, that
when the Republican candidate reached
the heavy Republican counties in the
black belt near Deland he confined his
remarks principally to a discussion of
the personnel of the Republican State
and National tickets, and this policy
gave rare opportunity for enthusiasm
and applause. Whenever the eloquent
candidate would ring in the name of
one of the nominees there would be
shoats of approval. Wheo he men?
tioned Blaine the sable audience would
rise and shout 'Hurrah for Blaine !'
When Logan's name came in, the 'down?
trodden' would yell 'Rah for Logan !'
Then tho air was rent with 'Hurrah for
Pope,' and consecutive and increas?
ingly vociferous 'rahs' for ali the can?
didates down to thc county constables.
When the panel was exhausted and
there were no more individuals to eulo?
gize. Mr. Greeley, whoso mind WP.S not
exhausted, turtled WM h an engaging
smile to his audience and remarked :
'And now my friends I wi>li to talk
to you a little about our tari!! ' In?
stantly a hundred hats rose in rho air
and a thousand voices went np in thc
shout :
'Hurrah for Mister Tariff !'
The Republican candidate turned
wi'li a sad and discouraged counte?
nance to his hilarious constituents, and
said in a reproachful tone :
'Oh, my friends, our tariff is not a
man. '
'She aint, ni ri t she ?' yelled back a
hundred voices ; 'Well, hurrah for
Mrs Tariff!'
And while this is perhaps an extreme
instaitce it will very fairly convey to
the minds of Major Hanson's Hearers
and readers tho average conception of
the tariff among t!io colored voters
whom he did ires tu ki stlid i:i it*
favor. /ionic ( (ht ) Tr ihn ne..

CHAPTER XX?L
THE BLOW FALLS.
On the following morning, tibout ?0
o'clock, ivhile Edward Cossey was still at
breakfast, a dog cart drew up at his dcor
and out of it stepped Coi. Quaritch.
''Now for tho row," said he to himself. "I
hopo that the governor was right in his tale,
that's a IL Perhaps it would have boen wiser
to say nothing till I had made mere sure,"
and he poured out some more tea a littlo ner?
vous!;.*, for in the colonel ho had, ho felt, an
adversary not to bo despised.
Presently the door opened and "Col. Quar?
itch" was announced. He roso and bowed a
salutation, which the colonel, wbDse face
bore a particularly grim expression did not
return.
"Will you take a chair?" he said, as
soon as tho servant had left, and, without
speaking, Harold took ono, and p?e--x::itly
began the conversation.
"Last night. Mr. Cossey, " be said, 4'you
thoi ght proper to publicly bring a charge
against mc, which, if it were true, would go
a long way toward showing that I was not a
f?t person to ossociato with those before whom
it was brought."
"Yes," said Edward, coolly.
"Before making any remarks on your con?
duct in bringing such a charge, which I give
you credit for bel. .-ving to bo true, I propose
to show to you that it is a false charge,"
went on tho colonel, quietly. "The s tor}- is
a very simple one, and so sad that nothing
short of necessity would force me to tell it.
I was, when quito young, engaged to your
aunt, Miss Heston, to whom 1 was much at?
tached, and who was then 20 years of age,
and though 1 had littlo besides my profes?
sion, she had some money, and we were going
to be married. The circumstances under
which tho marriage was broken of? woro as
follows: Three days before tho wedding was
to take place 1 went unexpectedly i:o tho
house, and was told bj tho servant that Miss
Heston was up stairs in her sitting room. I
went up stairs to the room, which I knew
well, knocked and got no answer. Then I
walked into the room, and this is what I saw:
Your aunt was lying on the sofa in her wed?
ding dress (that is, in half of it, for ste had
only the skirt on) as I first thought, asleep. I
went up to her and saw that by her sid 3 was
a brandy bottle half empty. In ber hand
also was a glass containing raw brandy.
While I was wondering what it could mean
she woke up. got off the sofa and begau to
stagger round tho room, and I saw that she
was iutoxicat-ed."
"lt's a lie," said Edward, excitedly.
"Be careful what you say, sir," answered
the colonel, "and wait to say it till I have
done. As soon as I realized what was the
matter, I left tho room again, and going
down to your grandfathers study, where he
was engaged in writing a sermon, I asked
him to como upstairs, as I was afraid that
his daughter was not well. He came and
saw, and the sight threw him off his balance,
for he broke out into a torrent of explana?
tions and excuses, from which in timo I ex?
tracted the following facts: it appeared that
ever since she was a child, Miss Heston had
been addicted to drinking fits, and that it
was on account of this constitutional weak?
ness, which was of cour.-J concealed from
me, that she lind been allowed to engage her
! self to* a penniless suba!:'.-ra. It appeared,
too. that the habit was hereditary, for her
mother had di--.1 of the effects of drink and
ono of her aunts ha;I become mad from it. I
went away and thought the matter over,
and came to the conclusion that, under taese
circamstanees, it would bo impossible for
? ms. much as 1 was attached to your aunt, to
marry her, because, even if I was willing to
do so, 1 had no right to run tho risk of
bringing children into tho world who might
inherit tho curse. Having come to -Iiis
determination, which it cost mc much to do,
I wrote and communicated it to your grand
father, an i the marriage was broken oif.':
"i do nor believe it; I do not believe a
word of it.*1 sjJd Edward, jumping up.
"You jilted 'ncr and drove her mad, and now
I you-are- trying to shelter yourself behind a
tissue of falsehood."
"Aro you acquainted with your grand?
father's handwriting?' asked the colonel,
truietlv.
"Yes."
"ls that it f ho wont cn, producing a yel?
low looking letter and showing it to him.
"I behave so-at least it looks like it."
"Then read the letter."
Edward obeyed, lt was one written in an
! SW.'T to that of Harold Quaritch to ^is
betrothed's father, and admitted in tho clear?
est tcri?s th-.- justice of t!:e stop that he had
taken. Further, it begged him, for the sako
of Julia and the family at large, uever to

"Aro you satisfied, Mr. Cossey? I have
Other letters if you wish to see them."
Edward made uo reply, and the color.el
went on:
"1 gave thc promiso that your grandfather
asked for, and in spite of the remarks that
were freely made upon my behavior, I kept
it, as it was my duty to do. You, Mr. Cossey,
are the first person to whom the story hos
been told. And now that you havo thought
fit to make accusations against inc which aro
without foundation, 1 must ask you to retract
them as fully as \'ou made them. I have pre?
pared a letter which you will be so gond as
t to sign," and ha handed him a note to the
squire, lt ran:
"D::AR MK. ns LA MOLLS-I bec in the
fullest and most ampio manner possible to
retract the charges which I made yesterday
evening against Col. Quaritch, in tho pres?
ence <-f yourself and Miss de la Molle. 1 find
that tboso charges were unfounded, and 1
hereby apologize to CoL Quaritch for having
made them."
"And supposing that I refuse to sign," said
Edward, sulkily.
"I do not think," answered tho colonel.,
?'that you will refuse."
Et I?';, ni looked at Col. Quaritch, and tho
colonel looked it Edward.
"Weil." said thc colonel,"please understand
that I mean you should sign that letter, ami
indeed, seeing how absolutely you are in tin?
wrong, 1 do not think that you can hesitate
to do so."
Then very slowly and unwillingly Edward
Co?s?y took up n pen, affixed his signature ti?
thc letter, blotted it rind pushed it from hint
Tue colonel folded it up, placed it in nc
envelope which he had ready, and put it in

look as he thought it.
Tba: very afternoon ho started, tnaceord
arirc with this design, to paya visit at t ho
<.:!-;;... Thc squire was out, but Mi<sde la
M !v was at honk-; the servant s.iid. om! ac
cordmgh he was ushered into the drawing
room, where Ida-was working, for it was a
w- X and indy :i'.< moon.

"that ! should have put myself i:i such a

credit for having believed my accusation
when ? mad" ir."
"i'uch accusations should not !o lightly
made, Mr. Cossey," was ber answer, and, ns
though !. . turn thc subject,she rose and rang
the bell ?"or t?\-i.
It carney and the bustle coane, led with it
prevented any further conversation for
awhile. At length, however, it subsided,
I and once more Edward found himself alone
with Ida. Ile looked at her and felt afraid.
Tho woman was of a different clay to him?
self, and he knew it-he loved her, but he did
not Understand her in the least. Howover,
if tho thing was to be dono at all it must bo
done now; so with a desperate effort he*
screwed himself up to thc point.
"Miss de la Molle," ho said; and Ida, know?
ing full surely what was coming, felt her
heart jump within her bosom and then stand
still. ''Miss de la Molle," he repeated, "i>er
haps you will remember a conversai iou that
we had some weeks n;ro in the conservatory P
44Yes," sho said, "I remember-about the
money."
"About tho monoy and other things," he
said, gathering courage. "I hinted to you
then that I hoped i:i certain contingencies
to be allowed to make ray addresses to you,
and I think that you understood me."
44I understood you perfectly," answered
Ida, her palo face set liko iee, "and I gave
you to understand that in tho event of j-our
leading my father tho money, I should hold
myself bound to-to listen to what you had to
say."
"Oh, curso tho money P broke in Edward.
"It is not a question of monoy with me, Ida;
it is not, indeed. I love you with all my
I heart. I havo loved you ever since I saw
you. It was because I was jealous of him
that I made a fool of myself last night with
Col. Qaaritch. I ?hould havo asked you to
marry me long ago, only there were obstacles
in the way. 1 lovo you, Ida ; there never
was a woman liko you-never.
Sho listened with the same set face. Obvi?
ously he was in earnest, but his earnestness
: did not movo her; it scarcely even flattered
j ber pride. She disliked tho man intensely,
{ and nothing that he could sa}'ordo would
i lessen that dislike by ono jot-probably, in?
deed, it would only intensify it.
Presently he stopped and stood besidej:er,
his breast heaving and his face broken with
emotion, and tried to take her hand,
S'ne withdrew it sharply.
4,I do not think that there is any need for all
this,** sho said, coldly. "I gaven conditional
promise. You have fulfilled your sharo of
tho bargain, and I am prepared to fulfill
mino iii duo course."
So far as her words went, Edward could
find no fau.t with their meaning, and yet bc
felt moro like a man who bas been abruptly
end finally refused than one declared chosen.
Ko stood stiii and looked at her.
"I think it right to teil you, howe/er," she
went on in tho same measured tones, '4that if
I marry you it will be from motives of duty,
and not from motives of affection. I have
no love to give you, and I do not wish for
yours. I do not know if you will be satisfied
with this. If you aro not, you had better
givo up tho idea," and she for the first timo
looked up at Lim with more anxiety in her
face than sho would have cared to show.
But if she hoped that her coldness would
repel him, sho was destined to be dis?
appointed. On the contrary, like water
thrown on burning oil, it only inflamed him
the more.
"The love will como, Ida," he said, and
once moro ho tried to take ber hand.
"No, Mr. Cossey," she said, ia a voice that
checked him ; "1 am sorry to have to speak so
plainly, but till I marry I am my own mis?
tress. Prey understand me."
"As you like," he said, drawing back from
her sulkily. "I am so fond of you that 1 will
marry you on ar.y terms, and that is the
truth. I have cno thing to ask of you, Ida,
and it is that you will keep our engagement
secret for the present, and get your father (I
suppose 1 must speak to.him) to do tho same.
I have reasons," ho went on by way cf ex?
planation, "f^r not wishing it to become
known."
"I do not se- why I should keep it secret,"
she said; "but it does not mattor to me."
"Tho fact is," heexplained, "my father isa
very curious man, and I doubt if he would
liko my engagement because he thinks I
ought to marry a great deal of money."
"Oh, indeed," answered Ida. She had be?
lieved, as was indeed tho case, that there
were other reasons, not unconnected with
Mrs. Quest, on account of which ho was
anxious to keep the engagement secret. "By
tho way," she went on, "I am sorry to have
to talk of business, but this is a business mat?
ter, is it not? I suppose it is understood that,
in tho event of our marriage, tho mortgage
you held over this place will not be enforced
against my father."
"Of coursa not," ho answered, "Look here,
Ida, I wid givo you thtoj mortgage bonds as
a wedding present, and you can put them in
tho fire; and 1 will make a good settlement
on you."
"Thank you." shs said, "but I do not re?
quire any settlement on myself; I had rather
nono was made; but I cousent to the engage?
ment only on the express condition that tho j
mortgages shall bo canceled before marriage,
end as the property will ultimately come to
me, this is not much to ask. And now ono
more thing, Mr. Cossey; I should like to I
kuow when you would wish this marriage to
take placo; cot at once, I presume."1
"i should wish it to tako placo to-morrow,"
j ho said, with au attempt at a laugh; "but I
suppose that between one thing and another
lt can't como o.T at once. Shall wo say thi?
timo six mouths, that will be in May?"
"Very good," said Ida, "thisday six months
I shall Ifo prepared to become your wife. Mr.
Cossey. I believe," she added, with a flash
of bitter sarcasm, "it is thc time usually al?
lowed for the redemption of a mortgage."
"You say very hard things," he answered,
wincing.
"Do I? I dare say. 1 am hard by nature.
I wonder that you can wish to marry me."
"1 wish it beyond everything in thc
worl 1," he answered, earnestly. "You can
never know how much. By the way, I know
I was foolish about Co!. Quaritch; but, Ida,
1 can::ot bear to see that man near you. I
hope yon will drop his acquaintance as much
ns possible n? w."
Once mon- Ida's face set like a flint. "I am
not your wife yet, Mr. Cossey," she said; j
"when I am, you will haven right to dictate
to rac as ro whom I shall associate with At j
presera yeo have no such right, and if it j
pleases rae to associate with L'ol Quaritcb, I j
shall do so. Ii" you disapprove of ray con?
duct, the remedy issimpl?-you'can break oil j
the engagement."
Ko rose, absolutely crushed, for bia was by
far the stronger of the two, and, besides, his .
passion ?ave her an unfair advantage over =
him. Without attempting any reply, beheld i
out his hand, and said good uijht, for be was |
afraid to attempt any demonstration-of af- j
feet ion, adding lim* he would come to seo her
father in the morning.
She touched Iiis outstretched baud with her j
fingers, and then fearing lest he should change I
Lis mind, promptly rang tho bell
In another minute tho doer luid closed bc- j
hind hun, and she was left alone.
CHAPTER XXIII.
**Goar>?v, MY OKA ti. Goon DY."
When Edward Cossey had gone, Ida rose
nod put her kinds to her head. So the blow I
had fallen, and ?he deed "".ns done, and she j
w.;s engaged to bo married to Edward Cossey. j
And Harold Quaritch? Well, there must be j
an end to that. It was hard, too-only a {
woman could know hon- ha ni Ida was not j
a person with long record of love affairs.
Once, when she was twenty, she had a pro-|
posai which she bad refused, anil that was all. j
So it happened that ?hen she became at?
tached to Col. Quar'tch, she had found her
heart for the first time, ned for a woman, j
somewhat hiter.: life. Consequently ker feel?
ings wcroall tJ:e more profound, and so in-I
din.il was her gri**f at bei og forced not only!
r ? put them away, but to give herself to an- I
other man w. o was aol agreeable to her. She I
v.;:s no: a violent or ?ll regulated woman like .
Mrs. Quest. S-;-< looked !.. ts in the fae?, re- \
cognized their meaning, and bowed before j
their inexorable hv.ie. It seemed to her \
nimost impossible tba" she could hope to a void I
ti::-; marvin ;:.?, and if that proved to be BO she
might bc relied upon lo make the best of it.
Sea tula 1 would, under any circumstances, j
uever lind a ?ord to.say against Ida, for she |
was p.oi person who would attempt to con- j
Role herself for an unhappy marriage. But
it was letter, bitter as gall, to bo thus forced-1
to turn asido from her happiness-for she well j
knee/ that with Harold Qaaritch her lifo j
would be very happy and fir. ha" shcuidera
to this heavy yoke. Weil, she had saved tho' I
placo to her father by it, and also to her
descendants if she had any, and that was all
that could be said for it.
She thought and thought, wishing in the
bitterness of her heart that she had never
been born to come to such a heavy day, till
at last she could think no more. The air of
the roo:n seemed to sti?e her, though it was ?
by no means overheated. She went to the j
window and looked out. It was a wild, wet
evening, and tho wind was driving the rain
before it iu sheets. In the west the lurid
light of tbs sinking sun stained the clouds j
blood red, and broke in arrows of ominous i
light upon thc driving storm.
But, bad as the weather was. it attracted j
Ida. When the heart is heavy and torn by
conflicting passions, it seems to answer to the
calling of the storm, and to loug to lose its
petty troubling in tho turmoil of the rushing
world. Mature has many moods of which j
our own are but the echo and reflection, and
she can be companionable when ali human
sympathy must fail. Ker ino is our mother
from whom we come, to whom we go, and
her arms are ever open to clasp the children
who eau bear her voices. Drawn thereto
by an impulse which she could not have ana?
lyzed, Ida went upstairs, put on a thick pair
of boots, a mackintosh and an old hat, and
sallied out into the wind and wet. lt was
blowing big guns, and ns the rain whirled
down, tho drops struck upon her face like a
spray. She crossed th? bridge and went out
into tho park land beyond. The air was full
of dead leaves, and the grass rustled with
them, for this was the first wind sinco the
frost. Tho great boughs of the oaks rattled
and groaned above her, and high overhead,
among tho sullen clouds, a Hight of wind
tossed rooks were being blown thia way and
that.
Ida bent her tall frame against tho rain
and gale, and fought her way through it. At
first she had no clear idea as to whero she
was going, but gradually, perhaps from
custom, she took tho path that ran across tho
fields to Honham church. It was a beautiful
old church, and had originally been founded
by the Boissey family, and enlarged (particu?
larly as regards tho tower, which had been
partially blown down and rebuilt about the
time of Charles I, and was one of the finest
in the country) by the widow of one of tho
De la Molles, whose husband had fallen at
Agincourt, as a memorial forever. There,
upon the porch, were carved tho "hawks" of
tho De la Molles, wreathed round with palms
of victory; aud there, too, within tho chancel}
hung the warrior's heimet and his dinted
shield.
2sor was ho alone, for all around lay tho
dust of the illustrious dead, come after the toil
and struggle of their stormy lives to rest
within the walls of that old church. Some of
them had monuments of alabaster, whero they
lay in effigy, their heads pillowed upou that of
a conquered ?Saracen; some had monuments of
oak and brass, and some had no monuments
at all, for the Puritans had ruthlessly
destroyed them. But they were nearly all
there, some twenty generations of the bearers
of an ancient name, for even those of them
who had perished on tho scaffold had beeu
boruo here for buriaL The whole place was
eloquent of the dead and of the mournful les?
son of mortality. From century to century
the bearers of that name had walked in these
fields, and lived in yonder castle, and looked
upon the familiar swell of yonder ground
and the silver flash of yonder river, and now
their dust was gathered here, and all the
forgotten turmoil of their lives was lost in
the silence of their narrow tomb.
Ida loved tho spot, hallowed to her not only
by the altar of her faith, but also by tho
human associations that clung round and
clothed it as the ivy clothed its walis. Hero
6he had been christened, and here among her
ancestors she hoped to be buried also. Here
as a giri she used, with her brother James, to
creep in awed silence and look through tho
window when the full moon was up, at tue
white figures stretched in their silence within.
Here, too, she had sat> for Sunday after Sun?
day for moro then twenty years, and stared
at the quaint Latin inscriptions cut on mar?
ble slabs, which recorded the almost super- ,
human virtues of departed De la Melles of
the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, her
?Km immediate ancestors. The place was
familiar to her whole life; she had scarcely a !
recollection with which it w is not in some
way connected; it was not wonderful, there- j
fore, that she loved it, and that in the trouble
of her mind her feet shaped their course j
toward it.
Presently she wss.there in the churchyard,
and, taking her staud under the shelter of a
lino of Scotch firs, through whicb the gale
sobben anil sung, leaned against a side gate
and looked. The scene was desolate enough;
the rain dropped from tho roof ou to the sod
Thc rain dropped frjm thc roof.
don graves beneath, and ran in thin sheets
down the Hint facing of tho tower; the dead
leaves whirled and rattled in and about the
empty porch, end over ail shot one red and
angry arrow from the sinking sun. She
stood in the wind and rain, und gazed at the
ola church that had seen the end of so many
sorrows more bitter than her own and the
wreck of so many summers, till the darkness
began to close round her like a pall, while
the wind sung the requiem of her hopes. She
was not of a desponding or pessimistic char?
acter, but in that bitter hour she found it in I
her heart to wish, as mast jvople have done
at one time or other in their lives, that tho
tragedy were over and thc curtain had fallen,
and that she lay beneath those dripping sods
with*-at sight or hearing, without ho]>e or
dread It seemed to her that the hereafter
must indced-be terrible if it outweighs the
sorrows of the hero.
And then, j*>or woman, shs thought of the
long years between her and rest, and, leaning
her head against the gate p st, bogan to cry
bitterly tn the gloom.
Presently she stopped crying with a start
and looked up, for she felt that she was no
[> >uger alona Her instincts had not deceived
her, for there, not moro than two paces
from her, in the shadow of tho fir trees, was
fly figure of a man. Just thoo he took a
stop to the left, whicb brought his figure
against the sky, and Ida's heart stood still,
for now she saw who it was. It was Harold
Quaritch, the man over whose loss sh? had
bivi? weeping.
"It's deuced odd." she beard him say, for
she was to leeward of him, "but I could have
sworn that I heard somebody sobbing; I sup?
pose it was the wind."
lila's first idea was flight, and she m^do o
movement for that purpose, and in doing so
tripped over a stick and nearly felL
[na minute he was by her side. She wa*
caught, and perhaps she was not oltogr-ther
sorry, especially as she had tried to get away.
"Who is it? What's the matter?"'sahl the
colonel, lighting a fu^o under her nose, j
It was ono of those flaming fusees and bumed
with a blue light, showing Ida's tall figure
and her beautiful face all stained with grief
and tears, her wet mackintosh, ami the gate?
post against which she had Iwen. Itai^ugr
showing everything.
"Why, Ida,"*1 be said, in amaze* "what ?PS"
you doing here, Crying tocT
"? am not crying," she said-, With a sob*
"it's the rain has made my face wet."
Just then the light bumed out and btf
dropped it
"What is it, dear, what is itr he said in
great distress, for the sight of her alone itt
th? wet and dark, i:t tears, moved bim beyond
himself, and indeed he would have been no"
man if it bad not.
She tried to answer, but, poor thing, she
could not, and in another minutej to tell the
honest truth, sho had exchanged the gate postr
for Harold's broad shoulder, and was finish?
ing her "cry" there,
Now, io see a young and pretty woman
weeping (more especially if she happens tobe*
weeping on your shoulder) is a very trying
thing. It is trying even if you do not happen
to be in love with her at ali But if you are
in love with her, however little, it is dreadful;
whereas, if, as in the present case, you hap?
pen to worship her, more perhaps, than it is
good to worship any fallible huinan creator?^
then the sight is positively overpowering.
And so, indeed, it proved u. the jireseut in?
stance. The colonel could uot bear it, but??fc-"
ing her head from his shoulder, he kissed her'
sweet face again and again. "Sow, nature*
has generally a remedy for most ills if only
the physician knows where to look for it, and
there is no doubt that this sort of treatmenth
has before now proved efficacious iu many
similar eases. At any rata it answered here?
for presently Ida grew quieter.
"Don't," she said feebly-a phrase common""
to people in such circumstances, from
duches-es to milkmaids, and ono full of ha?
man nature,
"What is it, darling?" he said; **what is*
thc matter?'
"Leave go of me. I will tell you," she"
answered.
Ho obeyed, though with some tra willing
ness.
She hunted for ber handkerchief and
wiped ber eyes, and then at last she spoke:
"I am engaged to be married," she said, io
a low voice, "to ?lr. Cossey."
Then, for about tho first timo in his lifej
Haroid Quaritch sworo violently in the pres*
euee of a lady.
" ?Oh, d-n it all," be said.
She took no notice cf the strength of tho"
language, perhaps, indeed, she re-echoed it
in some feminine equivalent.
"It is true," she said, with a sigh. **?
knew that it would come, those dreadful
things always do-and it was not my fault
I am sure that you will always remember
that. *i had to do it-he advanced the money'
on the express condition, and even if I couldr
pay b&ck the money, I suppose that I should:
be bound to carry out the bargain. It is no*
the money that he wants, but his bond."
"Curses him for an infernal Shylock," saief
Harold again, ar.d groaned in his bitterness
and jealousy. "Is there nothing to be donef*
he asked presently in a harsh voice, for tty
was very hard hit.
"Nothing," ?he answered, sadly. *'l d#
not see what can help us unless the maur
died," shs said; "and that is not likely. Har?
old," she went on, addressing him for the"
first time in her hf o by his Christian name?
for she felt that af ter crying upon a man's*
shoulder it is ridiculous to scruple about call?
ing him by his name. "Harold, there is ncf
help for it. I did it myself, remember, be-*
cause, as I told you, I do not think that any
one woman has a right to place her indivi?
dual happiness before the welfare of ber
family. And I am only sorry," she added?
her voice breaking a little, uthat what I
have done should bring suffering upon you.*
He groaned again, but said nothing.
"We must try to forget," she went caf
wildly. "Oh, no! no! I know that it is no*
possible that we should forget. You won't for?
get me. Haroid, will you* And though it musfr
be all over between us, and we must neve/
speak like this again-never-you will al?
ways knew that I have net forgotten you,
will you not, but that I think of you a^
ways*"
"There is no fear of my forgetting,1' hfl?
said, "and I am selfish enough td hope that
you will think of me at times, dear."
"Yes, indeed I will We all have our bm?
dens to bear-it is a hard world-and wo
must bear them And it will be all the same?
in the end, in just a few years. I dare say
these dead people here have felt the same/
and how quiet they arel and perhaps there
may be something beyond, where things are'
not sa Who can say? You won't go away1
from this place, Harold, will you? Not un*
til I am married, at any rate; perhaps yotf
had better go then. Say that you won't go
till then, and you will let me see }'ou some?
times; it is such a comfort to see you."
"1 should have gone, certainly," he saidy
"to New Zijaland probably; but if you wish!
it I will stop for the present.''
"No, thenk you; and now good-by, my
dear, good- hy. No, don't come with me; 1
eau find my own way home. And now, why
do you waiti Good-by, good-by forever ??
this way. Yes, kiss me once and swear that
you vv iii never forget me. Marry if you wish
to, but don't forget me, Harold. Forgive me*
for speaking so plainly, but I speak as one
about to die to you, and I wish things to ber
clear."
"I shall never marry, and I shall never"
forget you." h6 answered. ".Good-by, my'
love, good-Ly."
In another minute she bad vanished into .
the storm and rain, out of his sight .'.ad out ot
his Ufe, but not out of his heart.
And he, too, turned and went his way into*
the wild and lonely night.
An hour afterward Ida came down into the*
drawing room dressed for dinner, looking'
rather pale, but otherwise quite herself.
Presently the old squire arrived. Ho had?
been attending a magistrates' meeting, and
had only just got homo.
"Why, Ida," he said, "I con ld not find yo?
anywhere. I met George as I was driving
from Boisingham, and ho toid me that he*
saw you walking through the park."
"Did lief she answered, indi?Terently.
"Yes, I have been out. It was so stuffy in?
doors. Father," sho went on, with a chauge
of tone, "I have something to tell you. 1 alu?
enga ged to l>e man ied."
He looked at her curiously, and then said,.
quietly-tho squire was always quiet in any
matter of real emergency: "Indeed, my dear! '?
That is a serious matter. However, speaking.
off-band, 1 think that notwithstanding the
disparity of age, Quaritch''
"No, no," she saul, wincing visibly; "I am'
not engaged to CoL Qmiritch; I am engaged-"
to Mr. Cossey."
"Oh," he said, "oh, indeed! I thought'from'
what I saw, that-that"
At this moment tho servant announced
dinner.
"Well, never mind about it now, father.*
she said; "1 am tired, and want my dinner.
Mr. Cossey is coming to seo you to-morrow,
and wo can talk about it afterward." \
And though thc squire thought about it a
good deal, he made no further allusion to th*
subject that night.
