War‘ and JAPAN Prirax. y1 } CHAPTER v. | Such was the state of affairs when the | crash came. â€" Saturday was a half holiday |alike with Jim and Mr. Stone. On this !purticn!ur afternoon, Jim, who had been | working overâ€"time during the week, was ;‘indulging in the luxury of "forty winks" i after dinner. He was seated in the armâ€" chair in the livingâ€"room ; "mother" was l out marketing, and Eve, availing herself of Mr. Stone‘s general permission, was enâ€" | sconced in his room reading a novel. Here | Mr. Stone, on returning from a short wal‘, ;fmmd her, and they entered into a lowâ€" | toned conversation. Not that their talk ’ was of a confidential charreter, but Eve, ; knowing that Jim was tired, and not wishâ€" I ing to have Lim awoke, pitched her voice low. They were speaking of the book she was resding, gnd to look at it he leaned over the back of her chair, with his sheck | elose to hers. â€" Presently their conversation | waxed interesting, the sleeper in the mndâ€" |joining apartment was forgotten, and their | voiees grew loudâ€"lond enough, as it turned | out after a time to wake him. The door beâ€" tween the rocms had been left partially l‘opon. so that the voiees of the speakers reached him distinetly. For a brief space ' at first, however, their words fell npon his ears in a dreammy confused sort of a way. but at length he was startled into a full l wakefulness indeed by elearly catching the words, "But Eve, dear," spoken in a famâ€" rliar and, as it struck him, a tender tone. In an instart he was on his feet and through the dividing door, where the first , sight that met his indignant gaze was Mr. ‘ Stone leaning over Eve with his face all but touching hers, and his breath actually stirring her bair. ‘The astitude, combined with the words he had heard, seemed to him as they might well Lave seemed to a (less interested or prejudicecd rpectator "confirmation strong" of his idea that the pair were declared lovers. In this he was mis‘aken. _ One of Mr. Stone‘s clever poinuts had been to drop an cecasional "Eve dear," as if unccusciously, and from hayâ€" E ing caught the habit by hearing the other members of the household constantly adâ€" dressing her in that style. It was in this way that he had uttered it just now, and it Ilm,d prefaced some utterly commonâ€"place remaik. His attitude, as we have seen, _had been assumed, nominally at any rate for the purpose of looking over the book; but Jim knew nothing of this, and had any such explanation of "the situation" been offered he would have probably langhed it to scorn. He was mad with jealous rage, but tried to persuade himself that he was virtuously indignant, and to comport himâ€" self accordingly. ‘*You‘ll have to bear it," he said, in a tone that was‘at once authoritative and sneering. "As to the daring, I dare beâ€" ause it is my duty. IfI am nothing else to you, I am, sinece my father‘s death, your ynardian ; and I don‘t mean to stand by aad see you running into danger and disâ€" grace without doing what I can to prevent it _ I say again, I‘m asnamed of you ; and if youn are not ashamed of yourself, you oug‘.t to be, for allowing a fellow like this to be hanging over you, and Eveâ€"dearing you." "I know," he said in the same "puttingâ€" down" tone in which he had previously spoken, "that your tinâ€"pot, wouldâ€"beâ€"gentieâ€" man sort of a fellow like this one here, means no good wlien he professes to make love to a girl in your station of life ; and you would know it too, if you were not blinded by vanity. But there, I‘m not goâ€" ing to have any more talk here ; you leave this roomâ€"go!" As she showed no sign of moving, he laid his hand upon Ler shoulder as an emphatic means of pointing to the door. Mr. Stene, however, who had by this cinse rcesvered from the eenfusion «anseâ€" ‘"You ought to be ashamed of yourself to be listeuing and spying," she retorted indignantly ; but you don‘t know what you are talking about after all." Eve was both angry and burt by his tone and language. â€" "How dare you speak that way to me ?" she exclaimed, rising and looking him in the face with flashing eyes. "It is wicked of you to speak so, and I won‘t beer it." "Stand clear of her!" he exclaimed, thrusting himself between Mr. Stone and the back of Eve‘s chair with a violence that sent the gentleman lodgor staggering against the wall. "As to you, Eve," he weut on, as though in brushing the other aside he had done with himâ€""as to you Eve, l‘m ashamed of you; I gave you credit for having some little selfâ€"respect. even if you had no respect for the name you bear." Yes, grieve! ‘tis Nature‘sâ€"that is, God‘sâ€"behest, If what is Nature called is Will Divine! Who frin would grieve not cannot know how blest It is to sorrow, and yet not repine. Yes, grieve ! it can be no offence to Him Who made us sensitive our loss to know ; The hand that takes the cup filled to the brim May well with trembling make it overflow. Who sends us sorrow means it should be felt ; Who gave us tears would surely have them shed And metal that the "furnace" doth not melt May yet be hardened all the more instead. Where love aboundea will the grief abound ; To check our grief is but to chige our love; With withered leaves the more bestrewed the The fuller that tha rose hath bloomed above ! EVE HARWOOD. BDe we Well to Mcu:n t POETRY sigh of relief, murmuared, I tnank Thee Lord! he lives, and all may yet be weil, if it seems good to Thee." And now trars came to her further relief, tears that were of thankfulness as well as of grief, and siuking on her knees by the bedside, she exclaimed in simple trustful earuestness, "Forgive me, Lord, that Idoubted. I will f:ar no evil, for Thou art with me." _ For she had feared evil, had, in the nervous state in which she was, feared that her son had "laid hands upon himsel{." _ His letâ€" ter was a long one, but, briefly put, it was to the effect that he felt that he could not face the humiliation of his position in the house, could no longer hold up his head in Knightsford as he was wont to do; and that therefore he‘had determined to leave the town and seek employment elsewhere. When he got work he would write and let her know, in the meantime she was to conâ€" sider no news of him good news. Eve‘s selfâ€"reproach was even more Litter than her mother‘s ; for she blamed herself for being the sole canse ot the trouble ; a view of the gase, however, which Mrs. Harwood â€" generously refused to accept. "No, Eve, ust you Llcue," stis sail, repesating the "Well, for your sake," he unswered after a pause, and even now speaking with a reluctance of spirit he was not altogether able fo conceal." But already Jim had put it beyond â€" their power to hide the ~outbremsk from his mother. He had gone off to a distant town ; from which in the course of a few days, there came a letter to his mother, whose anxiety as to his fate had been such asto prostrate her. Her heart sank within her, even at the sight of his handwriting, and it was some little time before she could command herâ€" self sufficiently to open the missive. _ She glanced it over rapidly, and then, with a The true man was showing himself through the surface polish, and the seales falling from Eve‘seyes. Her thought was that Jim would havegicted very differently had the positions llgn reversed, and she had all the incliration to give expression to the thought ; but beginning to understand what manner of man she was dealing with, she restrained herself, aud continued to plead. "Thirk of his mother," she said gently ; "you must know how vexed she would be at hearing ofthis ; forgive him for her sake." "Me should have thought of that," was the surly answer. There was but one appeal left; and though in her present mood she felt loath to make it, she held horself â€" called upon to doso. "Then ifnot for his own or his mother‘s sake, pray forgive him for my sake," she said, forcing an air of smilâ€" ing entreaty. "I shall say nothing of the sort," he answered sharply. "I don‘t profess to be such a saint as all that, _ He bas insulted me, and I shall deal with him on the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth prineiple." There was an arrogance end coarseness in the manner in wluch he made the last remark which stung Eve even more keenâ€" ly than it did Jim, She was about to reâ€" sent it indignantly, when Jim breaking in said "Yes ; betters be it ;" and rushed down stairs, took hi#lswtiâ€"andâ€"went out at the door, "I â€"can quite understand your feeling very angry Mr. Stone, and I‘m very sorry indeed that Jim should have so far forgotten himself to speak as he has done ; but don‘t bear malice, Mr.: Stone," she urged ; "don‘t let his having been rash make you ungencrous ; say that you for give him." ""You clear out yourself{ ; that‘s all you have to do," said Mr. Stone, with a swagâ€" ger of tone and bearing that was hard to bear. "Eve can stay where she is ; she Las taste enough to prefer gentliemanly to loutish socicty ; and let me tell you as a parting word, that she is for your betters, not the like of you." Eve‘s adoption of a soothing tone towards Jim irritated the other imto forgetfulness of everything save the desire to sting. _ "Don‘t you go, Eve," he said ; "it is not safe for you to be alone with such a bully. Yes, you may look !" ne exclaimed, as Jim faced round upon him, but you are not going to browbeat me. I‘m master here, rememâ€" ber. I‘ve ordered you onee to leave the room, and if you stay any longer it will be at your peril." Jim‘s only answer to this was a conâ€" temptuous laugh‘ which so enraged the other that he sprang forward and gave Jim a halt Llow, half push which staggered hiin. ‘*Well, the room is yours, and so far you have got right on your side." he said ; but no more of that, mind you ; there is no need for it. 1 am going now. Comealong Eve." Eve, who had been steadily looking him in the face, saw an ominous light flash inâ€" to his eyes, and felt the hand upon her shoulder involuntarily clenching itself in very significant fashion. â€" Alarimned by these symptoms, she laid her hand restrainingly upon his arm, at the same time saying in abalf entreating way "Don‘t act like a madman, Jim ; you will be sorry for all this ; you are doing us both injustice ; come along." _ And then of her own free will, she set the example of moving toward the door. quent upon the shotk he had received, conâ€" struing the eact into an intertion to use vidlence, stepped forward, and, in a threatâ€" ening and theatrical tone, extlaimed, "Unâ€" hand her, and leave my room this inâ€" stant !" To this point, anxiecty concerning her son‘s fate had enabled Mrs. Harwood to "bear up" but now that certainty â€" even though it was an evil certainty â€" had reâ€" leived the immrdiate strain upon her fraculties, her health, which had been rather weakly since her hbusband‘s death anu the expenses of this illness, together with the cessation of all income, not only eshausted the fund, but left her considerâ€" ably in debt. On her recovery she had to join Eve in facing this position, and dovisâ€" ing ways and means for the future. Of lodgers they Lbad had more than enough, ard after much consideration, they finally decided upon the plan of selling off all their superfluous furniture, paying their debte out of the proceeds, then taking a small cheapâ€"rented bouse in the peighbourhood in which the railway workmen mostly reâ€" sided, and seeking to oltain a livelihood at dressmaking, mother ussisting Eve with the plainer parts of the work, and looking after the househcld affairs. These arraongeâ€" other‘s words ; "we have all erred, and i any of us more than another, it is not f« us now to try to find out which. We ca: but pray for strength to bear in the present and better guidance in the future." _ Anc the two prayed together for strength an« guidance to themselves and protection fo: their absent one. In prayer they founc baim for their wounded spirits, for t« strong and confident religious spirit of he: fosterâ€"parents had been cultivated in Eve from her infancy upwards. She had been taught to watch and pray, and to seek for consolation in trouble where truo conseâ€" lation is to be found. But thongh in time she sought refuge in prayer, she had not as yet that fullness of grace and thoroughâ€" ness of Christian spirit that years had brought to the elder woman. Pussion and worldly feelings would at times assert their dominion over her spir‘t, and so it was even on this day. When in the evenâ€" ’ ing Mrs. Harwood firmly but gently, and without imputing blame, put it to Mr. iswue, that after what had occurred, he could no longer remain an inmate of her household, Eve broke out in words of } scorn and contempt so bitter, that they penetrated the panoply even of his overâ€" ‘ weening selfâ€"esteem, and made him writhe ‘ with mingled shame and rage. CcHAPTER vL Much sympathy was expressed with Mrs. Hearwood and Eve when the news of Jim‘s i flight became known, and the folly and overâ€"sensitiveness that led to his flight were much though not harshly blamed. To others however, his dissappearance was only a passing event, but to the two chiefly concerned it was an abiding griefâ€"a §grief intensified by a heartâ€"sickening suspense, as day aftor day went by without bringing a letter. At length when nearly a fortnight had elapsed, the anziously expected letter arrived, but alas for the loving watchers ! only added heavily to their burden of sorâ€" row. _ It was incoherent in expression and had every appearance of being written by one almost distranght. _ Still its tidings could be but to well made out,. He had taken train from Knightsford to a manuâ€" ficturing town thirty miles distant ; afterâ€" wards he had journed afoot from town t> town in search of employment. But trade throughout the country was very dull at the time, and his search had been in vain. The little money he had taken with him was specdily exhausted, and penniless among utter strangers, footâ€"sore and heartâ€" sick, and ashamed to return home, he had seen no choice between starving and enâ€" listingâ€"and he had enlisted. _ He haa entered the army, he went on to say, under an assumed name, in which they could, if they would, commnnicate with him, though he would not blame them, he 1 added, if they cast him off. One last kind ness he concluded, he begged at their hands and that was that they would conceal from those who had known him in bappier days the knowledge of how low he had failen, l how greatly he had dissappointed the hopes that his father and his fathers‘s friends had entertained of him. The poor mother had cried when she read the first letter, but she was beyond the relicf’ of tears now. She was stunn»d by the | blow and deeply wounded too by the part | of the letter that spoke of her casting him l off, for she was too agitated to reflect that Jim bad in all probability writien the pasâ€"| sage in mere self abasement, and as conâ€" ’ demning himself, not doubting her. _ The | same night she replied to his letter, writâ€" ‘ ing as only a mother could, in m spir‘t | overflowing with love and pity, sympathy [ and good council. On the following day, Eve too wrote to him, and so to speak cast herself at his feet. She took to her-i self the blame for all that had happenel,‘ heaped reproaches upon her own head,| expressed the decpest penitence for her| conduct and begged humbly for forgiveness. ! She assured him that in her heart she had never really been false to her love fort him, though under the wretched spell that had for a time turned her head, she had| appeared to slight him, and she asked '.oI be allowed to contioue to love him still, even though he could no longer love her. I mouts were duly ecrried out, and were atâ€" As rapidly as post could bring them came answers to each of the letters, and their tone showed that balm had been poured on Jim‘s wounded spirit. The effcet of the one to Eve was that their lover‘s quarrel was "made up," though the result of that quarrel had unfortunately been to bring ubout this painful seperaâ€" tion. TORONTO This comparatively happy period was however, but a temporary calm in the s*a of trouble that was sweeping over the Harâ€" wood family. The seerct of Jim‘s enlist ment had been strictly kept by lus mother ard Eve, until the cireumâ€"«tance becaume known in Kuightsford through other youn; men from the town, who had previouJv joined the army, writing home to the» relatives. . Then they had asked to be re leased from the promise, with a view to being freed from the eabarrassment which, as trath‘ul people, the; could not help experiencing when others spoke to them on the subjsct. ‘Tho thing, there fore, was well known», but evoked only sym pathy for all concerned, not as Jiin had exâ€" pected, condemnation. â€" His own sensitive ness on the potut, too, had with time been greatly soothed, and in the autummn of the year following that in which he had enâ€" listed, he wrote saying that he would come home on a visit at Christmas, as by that timeiLe would be able to take a woeek or ‘wo on farlough. This was joyous news to the two who loved him so well, and as the months went on, there was great coriesâ€" poudence as to the many things that were to be done and people seen when the hapâ€" py time should arrive, But, alas, "The bestâ€"lail schemes o‘ mice and men Gang aft aâ€"gley, And leave us naught but grief rnd pain For promised joy." Both mother and sweetheart had already commenced their preparations for giving him so to speak, a "fattedâ€"calf" reception and they were greatly cast down by the news, though they felt it their duty to write cheerfully to him. The Christmas time look:d forward to so brightly, now proved dullindeed by contrast. â€" Mrs. Harâ€" woed and Eve had been invited to spend the day with and old friend of Reuben‘s but they had felt in no spirit for making company, and remained quictly at home together. It was a time that was full of special and saddening memories to them, and they sat talking far into the night, and in some measure lighiening the sense of trouble in the present by recalling the The Harwoods were to experience the proâ€" verbial slip between the cup and the lip, for a week before Christmas Day came word, that the anticipated leave of abscence would not be granted. The letter coveying the intelligence had evidently been written in a very passionate mood. _ It stated in strong language thist the leave had been refused through the machinations of a nonâ€" commissioned officer, who systematically abused the little brief authority in which he was clad, and who had taken an especial pieque against Jim, because he had steadâ€" fastly refused to "treat" or court him. _ "I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless ; ‘ Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness ." {nr some otherin the same spirit, which, passing through her mind in a strain of ‘mnnc. would disperse the lowering clouds. Sue was still a member of her clhapel choir, and as her bymns were now her only music, so her Bible was almost the ouly book she ever opened in the little tims she could now spare for reading. _ Her corresâ€" pondence w ti Jim, too, was of as satisâ€" ‘nctory a nature as it well could be under the circumstances. _ Ho seemed to get more reconciled to his situation as time weut on, and before a year had elapsed, was writing to the eficct, that by good emduct and such advantages as his eduâ€" cation gave him, he hoped within a reasonâ€" able time to rise to such a position in the service as might fairly entitle him to ask her to be his wif:. This latter idea had in itself but little charm for Eve, but she was pleased with it on the ground that she saw it gave pleasure to Jim, and tended to reconcile him to his lot in the present. It was upon her own plan thot she relied for being united. In three years, at most, sie calculated, she could amass the sum pecessary for purchasing his freedom ; once "bought off," he could go to lus trade agnin ; aud then . . . and then . . . After what they hed gone through, this was to Mrs. Harwood and Eve a time o‘ peace. â€" The absurd and dangerons nations that had for a time taken possession ol Eve‘s mind,vanished as a nightâ€"mare dreaw might have done, leaving her the gentle. loving, trueâ€"hearted girl she was by nature. She had to work very hard, but she toiled cheerfully. Nor had trouble in any way embittered her ; on the contrary, it on!y deepened the religious feeling within her. and made her more susceptible to and reâ€" liant upon the comforting and consoling inâ€" fluence which true religion brings in its train. At times, when weariness of Lbody brought depression of mind, the outlook upon her path in life seemed very dark and drear, but presently the words of some favourite bhymn would rise to her lips : "Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, 1t is not night if thou be noer ;" Orâ€" !y, of buying off Jim from the army. 1 was a purpose that they kept strietly t« themselves, for on hinting at it to him, h« had again grown bitterly selfâ€"reproncliful enying that he could never consent to hbeâ€" come such a burdea upon them ; that L« had made his bed and would lie on it. ended with the most happy results. Eve. vho was clever and tastefual in her busi ess, found ample employment amon; he wives and daughters of the workmen ind was so well established, that mothe nd she could could maintain themselve a simple comfort, and still put by som» hing eaca week fora purpose which ls; iearest to the hearts of bothâ€"that. nume # € A startling statement was recently made by a deputation which waited upon the Right Hoa.
