Charlotte wondered too, and said that those who repeated such scandals were quite as had :H the origi'natoi‘s, a remark in which .\l~, 3H,:uw fully concurred, saying, “if ti.» -. was anything she despised it was a talu-lwarcr.” . The next day but one as she sat with Jes- sic in her little sc\vin;.,-rooxn, Mrs. Ileeves was announced, and after a few preliu‘inary “ Yes, yes. It's pretty warm in here. isn’t it? Jessie, hadn‘t you better go where it is cooler. 9" said Mrs. Bartow, and Jessie replied: “ I‘ll get your salts, grandma, but I don’t wish to go out, unless Mrs, Reeves has something to tell which I must not hear.” was anuunnccd, rcnmrks, began “ By the way, my dear Mrs. Bartow, I have heen to Springfield, and remembering what you said almnt that woman in Deer- wuod. I thought. I’d run over there and see her just to convince her that she was mis- taken in thinking that she ever knew my father." “ I am not uncomfortable, and I want to hear about Decrwoml. Isn’t it a. pleasant old town '3" and she turned to Mrs. Reeves, who answered .' “Jessie will you bring me my salts, or will you go away, it’s so close in here,” came faintly from the distressed lady, who had dropped her work,- nnd Was nervously un~ buttoning the top of her dress. “Do you feel choked ?” asked Mrs. Reeves, while Jessie answered : ” Certainly not,” returned Mrs. Reeves. “ It’s false, I'm sure, just as false as that ridiculous story about the tin pcddler and factory girl. I convinced Aunt Debby that she was wrong. It was some other Ulmr- lotle Gregory she used to know.” "As I was saying,” persisted Mrs. Reeves, “Aunt Debby knows everybody who has lived since the Hood, and even bretcmlecl to have known you, after I told her your name was Lnnnnis, before you were adopt- ed by Mrs. StmlWood." ‘ 0h, delightful,’ cried Jessie. ‘ Do pray give us Hie entire family tree, root and all. “'as gmmlnm’s father x1 cobbler, or did he make the (in I/iings yours used to [while ?' and the saucy black eyes looked m'chly at both the lmlics. ” Of course it was ; I always mid so,” and a violent sneeze follmvcd the remark and a too strong inhal‘ttion of the salts. ‘ I don't know what her father was,’ said Mrs. Reeves, ‘lmt Aunt Debby pretends that Mnrtlm Lummis, â€"l’ntty, as she called herâ€"â€"â€"â€"’ ‘ That’s the name in the old black book. grandum, that you said belonged to a friend,’ interrupted Jessie, and while grandma groancd.

A STORY OF LOVE AND PRIDE. . um] 30, grandma, and did you buy “ Pro Bcno Publico." gum SPRING IIIN'IS Mrs. Reeves, by this time, began to think that Jessie might be making fun other, and smothering her wrath, she proceeded : ‘ I certainly am going to faint, Jessie, do go out,’ gasped the white figure in the rock- ing chair, while Jessie rejoined : ‘I don’t see how my going out can help you.’ Then crossing oVer to her grand- mother, she whispered! ‘Brave it out. Don’t let her see that you care.’ ‘ I shouldn’t care anything about the houscWork or the milking, but I’ll confess I was shocked. when she spoke ufâ€"â€"-:’ ‘ This Patty Lummis, Aunt Debby said, was blood relation to (In-ea T/ug/m-s, who were hung some years ago for murdering John Love, or some such name. I remember hearing of it at the time, but did not sup-‘ pose I knew any of their relatives.’ Thus entranced Mrs. Ban-tow became some. what composed, and her ton-mentor want. on: ‘Horrid !’ cried Jessie, and then, as she saw how white her grandmother was, she added quickly: ' ‘ And didn’t she say too, that the G reg- orys ought to have been hung if they wem’t 2’ ‘ Such impertinonce,’ muttered M rs, Reeves, while Jessie rejoined : ‘ There are very few families. which, if traced to the fountain bend, have not a halt» or, or peddler’s cart, or a smell of tallow, or shoemaker’s waxâ€"-â€"’ ' Yes, a woolen factory, and as you and grandma do not belong to the law who are exempt from a stain of any kind, if honor. able work can be called a stain, I advise yon to drop old scores, and let the past be for- gotten.’ ‘ Or a woolen factony, Jessie. Don’ t for- get tlmt.’ suvgcsted \Irs. BMW, and Jessie added, laughingly: ‘ I’m sure I’m willing,’ sobbed Mrs. Bar. tow. ‘ I never did tell that ridiculous story to but one, and she promised not to breathe it as longas she lived.’ ‘ Ymes. I'll do everything I can toward it,’ answered the distracted old lady. _ ‘I couldn’t help thme ’l’lmyers. I never saw them in my life, and they were only second cousins.’ ‘Iv'ourlhlo you, then,’ and Mrs. Reeves nodded to Jessie, who replied : ‘Aml ml] you take it back 3’ chimed in Mrs. Reovos. ' I don’t care if they wcroflrst. Every. body knows me, and my position in society does not depend upon what my family have been before me, but upon what I am myself. Isn’t it so, father?’ and she turned to Mr. Graham, who had just entered the room. ‘ 1 don’t know the nature of your conver- sation,’ he replied, ‘ but I overheard your last reumrksmnd fully concur with you, that persons are to he respected for themselves and not for their family ; neither are they to be despised for what their family or any member of it may do.’ There was a tremor in his voice, and look- ing at him closely, Jessie saw that. he was very pale, and evidently much agitated. ‘\Vlly, poor Charlotte ?' replied Jessie, grasping his arm. ‘13 \Villiam sick or ‘ He has been arrested for forgery. I may as well tell it first as last, ’ and the words dxopped slowly from Mr. Graham’ 8 lips, ‘ l-orgcm/ ! \Villiam arrested ! lt’s false I' shriekcd Mrs. Reeves, and the salts which Mrs. Ilartow had used so vigorously a little time before changed hands, while Jes- sie passed lrcr arm around the lady to keep her from falling to the floor. ‘ lt's false. He never forged. Why should he? Isn’t. he rich, and a Bellcuger ?’ she kept repeat- ing, until at lmt Mr. Graham uuswm‘ed : ‘ What is it father?’ she cried; forgetting the three ’I'Imycrs and thinking only of \an- tcr. ‘ What has happened 2’ ‘Excuae me, mmlam, but I think your duty calls you home, where poor Charlotte needs your sympathy.’ dead ?’ ‘ It is too true, my clear madam, that for some time past Mr. Bellcnger has been en- gaged in a systematic course of forging, managing always to escape detection, until now, it has been clearly proved against him, and he is in the hands of the law.’ ‘ Marshall blood !' repented Jessie, indig- mmtly. ' Ihl like to know by what chcmi »- cnl process you have mingled the Marshall blood with William Bollenger’s.‘ Mr. Gmlmm did not. reply tohor, but turning to Mrs. Reeves, he said : ']‘herc was no reason why Mrs. Reeves at this point should think of Walter, but she did, and fancying that her auditors might possibly be drawing comparison between the two cousins she said .- ‘It's ~the Ilaréhall blood with which he is tnintqd.’ Mrs. Reeves could not" explain. She only knew that she was completely overwhelmed No. 181 mu ”WWW so bewildered and helpless that My. GM‘ ordered his carriage, and sent helI to Notâ€"o, . whither the sad news had preceded her, and where Charlotte lay fainting and moaning in the midst of her bridal tinery, which would never be worn. She had noticed William’s absence from the house for the last twenty- four hours, and was wondering at it, when her father; roused by ‘the shook from his usual state of quiet passivenees, ranked in, telling her in thunder tonea that her immo- ed husband had been guilty of forgiig Gru- ham Marshall’s name, not once, not twice. but many times, until at last he wee detect- ‘ ed and under arrest. ‘ ‘lle'll go to State prison, girlâ€"do you hear? To State Prison ! \Vhy don’t you speak, and not sit staring at me With thtt milky face !' Poor Charlotte could not speak, but she fainted and fell at the feet of her father, who became himself it once, and bending kindly over her brought her back to life. It was not that Charlotte loved William so very much. It was rather her pride thlt was wounded, and she moaned and wept until her grandmother came, and with her lamentatious and repl‘ouclies,so w holly outdid all Charlotte haul done, that the latter grew suddenly calm, and without a word are tear, sat motionless, while the old Indy raved on, one moment talking as if they were all going to prison together, and the next giving Chailotte most uncomfortable squeezes to think she was not the wife of a foruer after all. ' 'l‘hc Ilnw ’l'lmyers were for the time for- gottcnmml when ntUharlotto’s requut Jouio came to see her, accompanied by her grand. mother, Mrs. Reeves kissed the latter :fl'ec- tionately, whispering in her ear : ‘ \Ve’il- not. mind the past, for the prefint has enough troubiu and disgrace." Great was the excitement among Wil- liam’s friends, the majority of whom turned against him, saying, ‘ they expected'it. 9nd knew all the time that nomad)“ was wrong.’ ‘ ' ' I M: Graham stood by and pitied the cow- ed and \\ retclncd young man, and pitied hum all the more that his father kept sloo'f, lay- iug: ‘ He’s made his bed and he may lie in it.’ At the first intimation of the sad ambit. Mrs. Bellenger hastened home, but neither her money nor her influence, and both Were freely used, could disprove the guilt of the )01mg man. who awaited his trial' in a flute of mind bordering on despair.
