CHAPTER XIII.'â€"CONTINUED. Now was the tug of war. ‘ We’d better all go into the house,’ said the lawyer; but Mr. Finney can remain outside the room till he’s wanted. Toll Mrs. Burridgc,’ he said to the ser- vant who opened the door, ‘ that the solicitor would like to see her for a few minutes, if she’s discugagod.’ Permission being given, we ascended, and Adolphus entered the room first. There was a cry of astonishment, and as I followed him in, a large, flabby, middle-aged woman, with a fishy cyc. hanging white jowlcrs, just want you quietly to acknowledge and a towzy head of withcroddooking hair, was crossing the room 111 stage» strides with extended arms. ‘ Oh, my long lost one 1’ she exclaimed stopping, however, in her march, when she saw me. ‘Oli, mcc husband of mo youth ! The quality“. of.” mercy is not strained, it dropâ€"popépop” (she began to sob) ‘ popâ€"cth :is " cutie ,dec-cw l rt'biessetipfirnim, o firfimtbpss, me! I' forgive you, chm-ring Ono! mcc pcrrâ€"rodigal! To your place! to your home, in mcc arms! mce Adel-01 olphus, come 1’ This scene was quite too overpowering. I bit my tongue and pinched my armâ€"â€" hurt myself seriously, in fact to suppress the bursting laughter. As for Dolly, his sense of humor was not quickly touched ; besides, it was different for him, and he looked plilcgmatically at the woman, and quietly remarked, ‘ Certainly not ; sit down, please. I have seine business to talk about; this is my solicitor.’ ‘You do not come, then, to sue for incr-r-rcy, for parâ€"rdon for this long kc-l rucl dcscrtion ?’ ‘Not at all, and what’s more, yeul know I haven’t; so please to leave oif' stage-tricks till we’re gone.’ ‘ Un.nanly miscreant l I will not dcign (with an imperial sweep of the arm), to, hold commune with you; to the door, sir! and you too, myrmidonsl (to the solicitor and mo) begone l’ I ‘VVc’ll g0 immediately ma’am; wc’ l l l your marriage, to save troublc,’ said the lawyer. ‘ How can I deny it ? His kerramping fettcrs are about mcc harrt; and, new, bcgonc l’ ‘ I mean your previous marriage,’ said the lawyer, quietly. The woman’s eyes dilated; she clutchâ€" ed the table, gavc a quick, short gasp, and her sucty complexion faded (if the word is admissiblc)into ashen hue. She rccovcrcd her selfâ€"possession almost in- stantly, however, and cried out,â€" ‘ Ah l ha! a plot to rob mo of my pitâ€" tance ; in sooth, ’tis worthy of him.’ ‘ My good madam,’ said the lawyer, ‘ this is really quite useless. \Ve know you were married in the year 1863. Better to acknowledge it to us privately than go to a court about it withâ€"with certain painful results.’ If you will tear the gnawing secret from my breastâ€"my outraged breastsâ€"so be it. A foul mcsalliancc 1 did contract in pique, in very madness, womanlikc, to spite a slighting nobleâ€"I did mate me with a clown.’ ‘ That was in ’53 ?’ said the lawyer, his cool, dry voice contrasting strangely with the tragic rhythm of her sentences ‘ In ’53 it was, but ’54 brought healâ€" ing on its wings. The monster dicd,and left me free once more,’ and she buried her face in her hands. ‘ You’re Sure he died ?’ ‘ Ay. very sul‘e,’ she gurglcd between her hands. ‘ His name was Finncy, I believe ?’ ‘ Spare mo; suffice it that the menâ€" stcr's dcod.’ The lawyer quietly opened the door and addiittcd the carpenter Coi‘lottrt's face continuing buried in her hands. Finncy’s mouth was distendcd into .1 wide grin. ‘ His name was Thomas Finncy, carâ€" penter at the Surrey Theatre, I think?’ repeated the lawyer. l l Finncy ?’ said the lawyer. ‘ That’s the ’ooman I took for my wife in 53-â€"worsc luck. Lorl but she is haltorcd since then. More like a hex than a hangcl new, surcy-lie !’ ‘I think it is cruel to prolong this scope,’ said I; we’re all satisfiedâ€"dot us go. Carlotta looked up with ghastly deâ€" spair in her face, and said to Burridgcâ€" You will go and rejoice over the downfall of a miserable woman, I sup- pose, and set the law on her, and starve and imprison her. You suppose that she has no feelings, and that ifshe committed this breach of the of the law she wasn’t driven to it by a foolish mad passion for youâ€"weak dotard that she was. You will have no pity, I suppose; WCtllx' men, when they have an accidental triumph, are vindictive. It flutters thcmmit makes them feel strong to trample down somebody~ and to trample down the fallen is their only chance.” ‘Huslil’ replied Adolphus,â€"‘thcsc fine words are entirely thrown away upon me. I won’t trample on you, but I won’t pity you. You never loved me; you had a mad passion for my money, that was all. I may be weak. but not weak enough not to know that. As for the law, as far as I am concerned, it shan’t be let loose on you. You are free to go where yfiu ‘pIcasc,lbut’ I’a’dvisc vou to'lcavc this country, as the law may find you out without my assistance. If you were starving, I might pity you; but as I don’t wish to pity you, you shall have enough to keep you from starv- ingâ€"butonly from starving. That’s all. ‘I say, gov’nor, aint you goin’ to‘lngr her for biggcrmec ?’ said Mr. Finncy, in accents of deep disappointment. ‘No no, no,’ saidltlie lawcyr; ‘comc away, come away.’ ‘Oli Lorl oh Lorl to think of an ’olc blessed day lost for nuffink! Aint friendly of you, 00.; ’taint, new. old man.’ Disregardng Mr. Finney’s pathetic rcmonstranccs, we left the miserable wo- man to herself. ‘I congratulate you again, Captain Burridgc,’ cried the lawyer, ‘and all the more, now that I have seen the fate from which you have been rescued. You need now give yourself no further trouble about the matter; I will take an.epinion as to the most proper legal slcps to be adopted, and will arrange everything, if possible, without troubling you again. I undci'stand-â€"-tliat certain ulterior ar- rangementswcrc depending on this most fortunate discovery; well the event should be delayed till you hear from 1110, but, in the mean time, all arrangements can be proceeded with. It will be a matter of a few weeks at the utmost, and perhaps no delay may be necessary. Of that I will inform you by letter, however without loss of time. And I suppose I had better arrange to have Whytock rc- lcasc from tho police-office. ‘ Ccrtainly,1fyou can manage it.’ ‘ N0 difficulty about that; and as tol the sum of money promised him by Capâ€" tain Bruce ?’ ‘ ‘ \Vhatcvcr was promised he must get. of course; for, no matter how, he has been of the utmost service, and has coin cd the money according to the contract.

But you’ve lost a day’s work for me, and you’ve done me a great scrâ€" vicc, and I should like to make you an r acknowledgment fwhat can I do for you? ‘Nothink at all, sir; nothink at all.

CHAPTER XIV. 1V0 spent that evening together in the room in the Barracks at Aldcrshot, whch Burring and I had, some three months before, first formed our momenâ€" tous acquaintance. ‘IVhat an age it seemed l’ was the idea that occurred to both of us; and to think,’ said Dolly, ‘that we swould have only known each Jothcr three months ! Wonderful, isn’t it? considering that I’ll be bound, there are no two fellows such pals in camp, or anywhcrc.’ ‘Human life is properly to be meas‘ lined by a reference to the number and intensity of our emotions, rather than by any arithmeticial computation of days and years,’ said I scntcntiouslv. ‘Now, that’s the kind Of thingâ€"I’ll be bound that’s exactly the kind ’of ag- gravating thingâ€"â€"you go saying to Lady Rose. Why, my dear fellow, it’s enough to frighten the Pope. Please stow away all that sort ofnonscnsc in your portman- tcau till after to morrow, or woe bctidc you. And talking of to morrew, Don‘ ald7 what is our schcmcâ€"â€"eur plan Of attack ?’ ‘ Walk-there are two or three things to be taken into consideration. The ladies are both at the Hermitage, you’re certain ? ‘ Quite.’ ‘It won't do to take Miss Richmond too much by suprisc, you see. She must be prepared for it gently. Ah l who’s to do it ‘P’ ‘I was thinking of a little plan; if you approved of it, I think it would suit all parties concerned very well. It is, that we should both go over to Fâ€" in the morning, but that you should wait at the hotel, while I go to the house, sec Lady Bose, tell her all about it, and con- sult with her as to best means of break- ing the news to her cousin ; and then, when the fitting moment arrives, we shall send for you, and introduce the hero on to the stage.’ ‘Ahl I see, master Donald; you’re a sly hand. You’re going to take our little affairs as a text, and preach your own sermon on it, with a practical appli- cation; but. with all my heart, provided the sermon isn’t too long, and you don’t keep me waiting an age outside paradise. Success to the sermon, old boy, and I’m sure it will be successful.’ When we scpcratcd for the night, I perceived that my feelings closely rescui- bled those of another night when I beâ€" lieved myself to be approaching the cirsis of my fate. I perceived that l was going to be troublesome. so I shook myâ€" self togcthcr, and said, ‘ No good tormen- ting yourselfâ€"hopes and fears will be certainties to-morrow, for tomorrow the die shall be cast;’ and so saying, I tumbled into bed, grateful for an overâ€" powering fatiguc which I felt sure would bring immediate sleep and escape froth thought. And slccp did come, but it ‘ came wild and feverish, as on the memorâ€" able night after my introduction to Lady Rose. v Vivid images and visions, suggested by a medley of hopes and fears, and colâ€" oured by the strange events of the last three days, chasod each other about my brain, interchanging and blending with a, marvellous rapidity. Now there was a vision of a fair‘facc smilng gently upon incâ€"a vision of a fair hand offering me a promised gucu donâ€"a vision of a fair form claspedâ€"and I felt a beating heart that required no other voice to give its happy verdict. Anon the same fair face, bright with mischievous mirth, and a musical voice that; rang out cllin laughter, and cried ‘Too late; the chance was thine, but but now ’tis 111lli(‘*~lrllCl'O§CS are all dead.’ Through the limiting night this infernal jingle held possession of my fcvcrcd brain. Now and then I woke up, and, us ifto exorcise the demon suggesting the evil refrain, roared out, ‘ TOâ€"morrow the die slmll br- cast.’ In vainâ€"dmck it 0111110, spokcn 10W by Burridgc, now by Badger. now by Lady Rose. It was act‘, to music at last, and Tom Finncy and 1] Bill Whytock sung it over a pot-house table, to the air ofthc “ Guards’ Waltz,” clinking their glasses and waving long white clay pipes to the time, while the irresistible Kurtoffcl of Bagdad danced strenuously in the midst,â€" “With a hip, hip, hip, hurrah ! With a hip, hip, hip. hurrah ! They’re dead, they’re dead, They’re deyâ€"dcyâ€"â€"-dead, The Roses are all dead l” At last I woke up to find my friend standing at my bedside. ‘ What are you holloaing at ?’ he in. quircd. ‘ Who’s dead ?’ ‘ They arcâ€"the Rosesâ€"-all of them 1’ I replied, dimly, ‘Oh ! hangr it! I forgot I must have been dreaming~such abominable dreams too. Is it time to get up ?’ ‘ Up you get. It’s eight o’clock. You look as if you’d been dissipating; jump , into your bathâ€" sharp. Remember C’) what’s before us. It’s a glorious mor- t ning.’ - It was indeed a glorious morning, and if bright skies are happy omens, better omen I could not wish. Thinking on this wise, I could not help murmuring, “ GO not happy day, From the shining fields ; Go not. happy day, Till the maiden yields. When the happy yes Faltch from her lips, Pass. and blush the news O’er the blowing ships. Till the Red man danceâ€"â€"â€"” Aldolphus, up to this point, had regard- ed 1110 with mute disapprobation, but- hcrc he broke in,â€"- ‘ Oh Donald! for heaven’s sake stopl if that’s the key you’re in, it’s all up; lay all that sort of thing aside, and put the spurs in, or I know one Red man who won’t dance to night.’ ‘ Don’t be afraid, old boy; I’ll be pru- dent, and, as you say, put the spurs in.’ ‘ To tell you the truth, then, I have. I didn’t go as long as you were here; I didn’t think it right. But after you were away, I could not stand the kind of feeling being cut off from her altogetherâ€"- you were a kind of link, you knowâ€"so I rode over one evening and put up my horse, and cruised about till I found the Hermitage, and since that I’ve been ever there every evening. I’ve been leadina an owl’s life; my life hasn’t begun till twilight for the last month I knew all the windows, and and the family moves. Sometimes was in luck, and saw Mary before the drawing-room blinds were down; sometimes it was only her shadow I saw, but that was always something. Sometimes a thing that looked like a big cauliflower, from its shadow, used to be in the window all the evening, nodding and waggling itself up and down. I found out at last that it was Mrs. Bad- gcr’s head, asleep; and how I used to grind my teeth when I saw it was going to be a cauliflower night! Once, and only once, the two girls came out in the moonlight, and walked on the grass in front. I Was screwed in between a tree and the wall, and could see them safely. She was lookingglorious.’ ‘Which of them ?’ Icried, eagerly. ‘IVhieh of them? ha! hal halâ€"I like that. Well, both of'them, of course, but I had only eyes for one, and I saw she had on the locketâ€"~saw it with my own eyes. That was a great night for me. One night they left the drawing- room window open. There was music first, and then talking, and I thought I would like to hear her voice, so I got on the wall and crop’t close up to the house, and was hearing her splendidly, when somehow I slipped and fell off into a bush with an awful crash. Luckily I was hurt, and lay still. for, in a moment after, an old fellow put his head out and holloacd, ‘ Who was there ?’ and ‘ That; he was going to firc,’ and ‘That he saw me perfectly well, and I had better give myself up before be drilled aholc in me.’ I deuced near did give myself up, but I didn’t; and the old fellow who hadn’t seen me a bit. got tired by degrees, and went away. I got afright, but I had! heard her voice; and that was my best ight, I think.’ 7‘ This is the first view we get of the place,’ said I drawing rein, as we reach- ed the top of the long hill. ‘ There it_ is l' and I recognised with a thrill of blissful recollections the dark wood that" encompassed the town. The roses of the early summer had faded from the hedgerowâ€"4110 roses that for me, had lifted up their voices and spoken ; but fresher than ever was their revelation new. And ‘therc is a Rose,y thought I, ‘ that blooms all the year round ; courage, she shall be mine l’ ‘ Come on, Adolphus, quicker, and let us get rid of suspense.’ \Vc gallopcd along the turf till we reached the outskirts of the town, and I then said, ‘Rido on now, Adolphus, and go quickly past the house; I’ll come or send for you when you’re wantod.’ ‘Greod luck! good speed! and don’t keep me long waiting. for I’m' an im- patient bcggar,’ he replied, and cluttered away up the street. I gave him a short start. and then; literally following his often rcapcated advice, I ‘ put the spurs in,’ and' in. a" couple of minutes stood, with a ringing in my cars and a. thumping of the heartt, in front of the doorâ€"the doorâ€"waiting with a wild inconsistent sort of hope that when the servant open it, he would say, ‘ Not at home.’ Not so, however ; the man welcomed me with a broad grin, widened, doubtless by the memory of frequent largesscs, and a ‘ lively sense of benefits to come.’ CONTINUED.
