THE MAID af MAIDEN LANE A LOVE STORY BY AMELIA E. BARR .' »>'*';*: t .1 • My-'. ftr. r.~ "'•v. <•" • CHAPTER VI.--(Continued.) "Well, then, who knows more on that subject than Jorls Hyde? Was I «ot, last year, at Lady Betty Soiner's aplendid nuptials, and at Fanny Pa- get's, and the Countess of Carlisle's? Indeed, I maintain that in such a dis­ cussion I ft™ an absolute necessity. JUid I wish to know Madame Jacobus." "So? Well, then, here we are, at feer very door. I know not what she *rin say--you must make your own «rcuses,, sir." As she was speaking, they ascended the white steps leading to a very handsome brick house on the west side ®f Broadway. The door was opened fey & very dark man, who was dressed In & splendid and outlandish manner-- A scarlet turban above his straight black hair, and gold-hooped earrings, and a long coat or tunic, heavily em­ broidered In strange devices. As soon as the front door closed, Jorls perceived that he was In an un- 4Uraal house. The scents and odors of strange countries floated about it. Strange tables of wonderful mosaic 'Work held Ivory carvings of priceless worth, and porcelain from unknown lands. Gods and goddesses from the yellow Gehenna of China and the ut- terable idolatry of India looked out •With brute cruelty, or sempiternal •miles from every odd corner, or ga2ed With a fascinating prescience from the klgh chimney-piece upon all who en­ tered. When the door opened and Madame Jacobus, with soft, gliding footsteps entered, Hyde understood how truly the BOUI, If given the wherewithal, trallds the habitation it likes best. Once possessed of marvelous beauty, «nd yet extraordinarily interesting, «he seemed the very genius of the soom and its strange, suggestive be­ longings. It was said that no man who came Within his influence had been able to twist her power--no man, perhaps, feut Capt Jacobus, and he had not re­ flated, he had been content to exer­ cise over her a power greater than Iter own. He had made her his wife; be had lavished on her for ten years the spoils of the four quarters of the World; and his worship of her had only been equaled by her passionate attachment to him. Ten years of love, and then parting and silence-- unbroken silence. Yet she still in- OIBUHI that he was alive and would certainly come back to her. She kept his fine house open, his room ready, and herself constantly adorned IN- his home-coming. She came in now with a smile of welcome. She was always pleased that her fine home should be seen by those strange to it; and perhaps was particularly pleased that Gen. Hyde's •on should be her visitor. And as Jorls was determined to win her favor, there was an almost Instan­ taneous birth of good will. "Let me kiss your hand, madame," •aid the handsome young fellow, lift­ ing the jeweled fingers in his own. *1 have heard that my father had dice that honor. Do not put me be­ low him," and with his words he touched with his warm lips the long Jrfhite fingers. Her laugh rang merrily through tta dim room, and she answered: - •Ton are Dick Hyde's own son--noth­ ing else. I see that. But where is Cornelia? I thought she would come with you." Even as she spoke Cornelia entered. TPhere was a little fiush and •Ijiurry on her face; but oh, how lnno- Cfent and joyoos it was! "Am I late, madame? Sorely your •lock is wrong." "My clock la never wrong, Cor- The assurance of her love. •411a. Come, now, sit down, and let tts talk of such follies as weddings 4M*d wedding gowns." In this conversation Hyde trlum- -gfcantly redeemed his promise of as­ sistance. He could describe with a delightful accuracy--or inaccuracy-- C, |he lovely toilets and pretty accessor- ^ Jes of the high English wedding - feasts of the previous year. And in '*:• yifome subtle way he threw into these ** " descriptions such a glamor of ro­ mance, such backgrounds of old X^'jfcastles and chiming bells, of noble 4amea glittering with gems, and vil­ lage maids scattering roses, of mar­ tial heroes, and rejoicing lovers, all fnovlng in an atmosphere of song and •unsiiine, that the little party sat lis­ tening, entranced, with sympathetic ?V<ipyes drinking in his wonderful des- _ jjeriptlona. i$:- Madame Jacobus was the first to Interrupt these pretty reminiscences. f#.?~All this is very fine," she said, "but *the moet of it is no good for us. The 'fttatln and the lace and even the Ijgems, we can have; the music can (b* somehow managed, and we shall •'t' foot make a bad show as to love and But castles and lords and pomp, and old cathedrals &ung with battle flags. Such things <are not to be had here, and, in plain *'iiUvrhx;;V r i?£t wedding of a simple maid like our Arenta. Lieutenant, take Miss Moran and show her my garden. I tell you, it is worth walking , through; and when you have seen the flowers, Arenta and I will give you a cup of tea." With some hesitation, yet quite carried away by Hyde's personal long­ ing and Impulse, Cornelia went into the garden with her lover. Speechless with joy, Hyde clasped Cornelia's slender fingers, and they went to­ gether down the few broad steps which led them into the green shad­ ows of the trees. Slowly, aa they stepped, they came at length to a little summer house. They sat down there, and in a few moments the seal waa broken and Hyde's heart found out all the sweetest words that love could speak. Cornelia trembled; she blushed, she smiled, she suffered her­ self to be drawn close to his side; and, at last, in some sweet, untrans­ lated way, she gave him the assur­ ance of her love. Arenta's voice, petulant and not pleasant, broke the charm. "Tea Is waiting," she said, "and Rem Is wait­ ing, and my aunt is tired, and you two have forgotten that the clock moves." Then they laughed, and laughter is always fatal to feeling; the magical land of love was sudden­ ly far away, and there was the sound of china, and the heavy tones of Rem's voice--dissatisfied, if not an­ gry--and Arenta's lighter fret; and they stood once more among fetishes and forms so foreign, fabulous and fantastical, that it was difficult to pass from the land of love, and all its pure delights, into their atmos­ phere. It would have been harder but for Madame Jacobus. Her smile,--quick and short as a flash of the eyes--re­ vealed to Hyde her intention of favor, and without one spoken word, these two knew themselves to be of the same mind. And, in parting, she held his hand while she talKed, saying at last the very words he longed to hear-- "We shall expect yon again on Thursday, Lieutenant." He answered only, "Thank yon, madame!" but he accompanied the words with a look which asked so much, and confessed so much, that madame felt herself to be a silent confidante and a not unwilling accom­ plice. Aa for Hyde, no thought that could mar the sweetness and joy of this for­ tunate hour came Into his mind. Neither Rem's evident hatred, nor Arenta's disapproval, nor yet Cor­ nelia's silence troubled him. Even the necessary parting from Cornelia was only a phase of this wonderful glad­ ness; for Love never fails of his token, and, though Arenta's sharp eyes could not discover it, Hyde received the silent message that was meant for him, and for him only. That one thought made his heart bound and falter with its exquisite delight--for him only--for him only. He was hardly responsible for his actions at this hour; for when a swift gallop brought him to the Van Heems- klrk house, he quite unconsciously struck the door some rapid, forceful blows, with his riding whip. His grandfather opened it with an angry face. "I thought it was thee," he said. "Now, then, in such lordly fashion, whom didst thou summon? dog or slave, was it?" Jorls flung himself from his horse and clasped his grandfather's hand. "I did wrong," he said warmly; "but I am beside myself with happiness; and I thought of nothing but telling yon" Lysbet divined the Joy in her grand­ son's face; and she said softly as he seated himself at the open window where his grandfather's chair waa placed-- "It is Cornelia?" "Yes, it is Cornelia. She loves me! The most charming girl the sun ever shone upon loves me. It la Incredi­ ble. It is amazing. What do you say?" "1 say that thou hast chosen a good girl for a wife. God bless thee," an­ swered Lysbet with great emotion. Van Heemskirk smiled, but was si lent; and Hyde stooped forward, gently moved his long pipe away from his lips, and said: "Grandfather, speak. You know Cornelia Moran?" "I have seen her. Thy grandmother •ays she is good. Well, then, the love of a good, beautiful girl, is something to be glad over. Not twice in a life­ time comes such great fortune. But make up thy mind to expect much op­ position. Doctor John and thy father were ever unfriends. Thy father has other plans for thee; Cornelia's father has doubtless other plans for her. I know not how the little Cornelia dare to disobey him." "She has said 'yes' to me; and, bo- fore heaven and earth, she will stand by it." ' "Say that much. And of thyself, art thou sure?" "I know not what you mean, sir,' said Hyde, vaguely troubled toy his grandfather's words. "I think thou knowest well what I mean. Thy father has told thee that thy duty and thy honor are pledged to Annie Hyde." "I never pledged! Neverl" "But, as in thy baptism thy father made vows for thee, so also for thy marriage be made promises. Noble birth has responsibility, as well privilege. For thyself alone It Is not permitted thee to live, from both the past and the future there are demands on thee." "Grandfather, of one thing I am sure--I will marry Cornelia Moran. even If I run away with her to the ends of the earth." " "Run away with her.' To be rare! That Is in the blood;" and the old man looked sternly back to the days when Hyde's father ran away with his own little daughter. With some anger Lysbet answered hjft {h^i^ghfa "What m gum aboutf What art thou thinking of? Many geod men have run away* with their wives. Remember one May night, when thou and I sat by the Collect In tho moonlight, and gave me this ring. What did say to me that night?" "Tis years ago, Lyabet, and if I have forgotten " "Forgotten! The words thou said that night have been singing in my heart for fifty years; and yet, if thou must be told, some' of those words were about running away with thee; --for, at the first, my father liked thee not." "Lysbet! My sweet Lysbet! I have not forgotten. For thy dear sake I will stand by Jorls, though in doing so I am sure I shall make some un­ friends." "Good, my husband. I take leave to say that thou art doing right." "Well, then," said Hyde, "If my grandmother stand by me, and you also, I have no fear." Then he rose, saying, "I must ride onward. My mother will not sleep until she sees me." Then they walked with him to tho Jorls relit his pipe. door, and watched him leap to his saddle and ride into the twilight trem­ bling over the misty meadows, trink- ling with dews. And a great melan­ choly fell over them, and they could not resume the conversation. Jorls re-lit his pipe, and Lysbet .went soft­ ly and thoughtfully about her house­ hold duties. It was one of those hours in which Life distills for us her vague melancholy wine; and Jorls and Lye- betf drank deeply of it (To be continued.) THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE. Another Instance Which Proves 11 Cannot Run Smooth. "Darling," said Wilherforce Percy Poot as he reached out to clasp Ma- thild Pembrook's tailor-made form In the embrace of his silver fox overcoat to shield her from the icy blast, "have you tried real hard to love me, aa I should be loved? Recollect, dearest, I have been coming up this same ave­ nue for two sweet, delightful months. How joyous life has seemed to me during all that time! Mathlld, Ma- thild, cannot you love me as I yearn to be loved?" I am trying hard, oh, so hard, Percy." •<- Say It again, pet. Percy sounds so sweet to my ears from your lips. I am so glad my name is Percy." Percy, there are dark rings about my eyes every morning; I am trying so hard to love you. No one but a lov­ ing woman who tries to keep her loved one in mind knows the suffering I have gone through. I am growing thin trying to think about you all the time, Percy." And when your mind turns to Percy, your own Percy--what do you really think about, dream of my life, light of my soul?" "Oh! Percy, I--I cannot think then; seem to have nothing to think about when I think of you " The tailor- made form reached out its arms with deep sob. But the silver fox over­ coat turned away, and lta owner hid his pallid lips under the otter lined collar. Percy, the broken-hearted, disap­ peared in the darkness. A TYPICAL 80N OF YALE. Gallaudet Put College Loyalty Before Everything. Edson Fessenden Gallaudet, whose marriage to Miss Marlon Cockrell In Washington recently caused an ad­ journment of the senate in order that the members might attend the notable ceremony, was the stroke of two win­ ning Yale crews, in 1892 and 1893, and one of the best university oarsmen of his day. He was considered one of the handsomest men in Yale. An old athlete, who roomed with Gallaudet, said in the Yale club last night: 'Yale coaches to this day consider the '92 crew one of the fastest and smoothest ever turned out from New Haven, and the stroke did his full part, and more, in the production of this magnificent eight, of which Dr. 'Josh' Hartwell was captain. 'Gallaudet was not a muscular nor a powerful looking man, but he drove his crew, as few strokes in this coun­ try have been able to do, by sheer nerve, endurance and judgment. He was aa amateur violinist of rare abil­ ity and technique when he took up rowing. He found that the musical training of years would suffer by the loss of flexibility in fingers and wrists, and was about to give up oarsmanship when the urgent need of a university stroke caused him to set college loy­ alty In first place."--New York Mall and Express. On to Her Game. ••Well," said the wife, whose thoughts were on her Easter bonnet. "I'll forgive and forget your being out late last night. I suppose I'll alwaya have to be forgiving something--" "Yes, whenever you're for getting something," replied the brute, her husband. m WEEKLY PANORAMA PULITZER HA8 A JUBILEE.
