CHAPTER VL ( CoNTiNUEn.I
It was October before the family
made a formal removal to town. One
of the brothers , sometimes both , spent
two or three days a week there In Sep
tember , and , since the uncertain sun
shine and cold rains of autumn con
fined the ladies , for the most part , to
the house , they were ready to second
the pronosition to seek their winter
quarters. Edward Withers was regu
larly installed as one of his brother's
household , and under his auspices city
life also put on a new face for Con
stance. He had a box at the opera , and
Elnathan was foremost to suggest that
Constance should accompany him
thither.
"That Is , when jTou are not engaged
to escort single ladies , " added the se
nior , with a dry smile.
"Which will not happen often ff I
can have my sister's company instead , "
replied the other , cordially. "But can
not we make up a family party of four
for to-morrow night ? I can promise
you a treat. "
"Musical treats , when they are op
eratic , are thrown away upon me , " was
the answer. "But I am anxious that
Constance shall keep up her practic
ing , and , to this end , desire her to have
every opportunity of improving her
taste and style. You and she can give
home concerts of the latest gems in
this line for Harriet's benefit and
mine. "
Harriet applauded the idea to the
echo , and was careful that he should
not regret the young people's absence
on the evenings they spent abroad ,
playing chess with him for a couple of
hours , and then reading aloud mone
tary or political articles selected by
himself until he dropped into a doze.
They were left thus to themselves more
and more as the season advanced. In
vitations to parties , concerts and din
ners rained in upon Mrs. and the
Messrs. Withers , and to most of these
Constance went , attended by Edward
only. Mr. Withers had never been so
cial from inclination , and he was only
too glad to delegate his duties in this
line to his wife , now that the protec
tion of his brother rendered his attend
ance unnecessary.
Constance did not confess in 'ords
to herself how greatly her pleasure was
augmented by the exchange of escorts.
It was natural that a man of her hud-
band's age and disposition should pre
fer his own fireside to dancing and
small talk , and a wearisome feint of
hearkening to harmonies that were un
intelligible and without sweetness to
him. She enjoyed gay scenes with an
easier conscience that she did not ! : ee
his grave visage at every turn of the
waltz or promenade and was not haunt
ed by the thought of her selfishness in
having dragged him from his beloved
retirement. How much this feeling of
relief was intensified by the circumstance -
• stance that her willing cavalier was the
most delightful talker , one of the best
dancers , and assuredly the most grace
fully attentive to his fair charge in the
cordon of beaux who frequented the
fashionable resorts just named , did
not enter into her complacent calcula
tions. She was on excellent terms with
herself and all about her at this junc
ture. The acquaintances who had
carped at ler Teserve and want of ani
mation in the few assemblies at which
she had appeared as a bride candidly
avowed that nothing - could be more
charming than her affability and guy
good humor , and that she wras far hand
somer than they had supposed at first
sight.
The more captious subjoined , sub-
rcsa , that it was evident she appreci
ated ( convenient word ! ) Mr. Edward
Withers , and how fortunate she was in
securing the services of an escort so
nnexeeptionable in every particular ,
since her husband seemed to have re
nounced society just as she fairly en
tered it.
"But , " subjoined No. 2 , audibly de
livered , "people had different ways of
looking at these things , an.d , so long as
Mr. Withers lived happily with his
wife , and countenanced her in all that
she did , whose business was it to hint
at impropriety or misplaced confi
dence ? "
That Mr. Withers did countenance
his wife in ler lively career was not to
be denied. It gratified him to see her ,
magnificently dressed , go forth to gath
erings at Which , as he was sure to hear
afterward , she was the object of gen
eral admiration for her beauty and vi
vacity. It tickled his vanity to have
her do the honors of his mansion to a
choice company of Edward's friends
and hers people in whose eyes he , the
sedate millionaire , could never hope to
bs more than the respectful representa
tive of his money bags. They were glad
to congregate in his stately salon
now , to partake of his fine old wines
and excellent viands , and unite in laud
ations or the handsome woman who
bore his name. Adulation did not
spoil her , he was pleased to observe.
She had never been more deferential
in her deportment to himself , more
ready to consult and obey Jm than
when the star of her popularity was ;
highest and brightest. In this she tes- •
titled her good ssnse and feeling heart , j
To whom should she be grateful and 1
dutiful if not to her benefactor , the .
architect of her fortune and happiness ?
Association with him and with his :
brother had developed her finely. He j
took credit to himself for the penetration - .
tion that had detected the germs of so
much that was estimable and attracj j
tive when she was still in the obscurity - •
ity of her brother's house. <
"A happy family , a thoroughly well-
organized establishment , " remarked ]
Charles Romaine to his wife , at the <
close of a visit they paid his sister in 1
January. "Constance should be thank
ful to us all her days for opposing her
absurd transendentalism about conge
niality and mutual attraction and the
like puerile nonsense. What a wreck
she would have made of her happiness
had she been left to pursue the course
dictated by her own caprices ! I hope ,
Margaret , that we shall not have to
combat the like errors in our daugh
ters when they grow up. "
"Constance had a fund of strong
common sense in spite of her crudely
extravagant theories upon certain sub
jects , " rejoined Mrs. Romaine. "Thanks
to it , and , as you justly observe , to
our counsels , she has married better
than any other young woman I know.
Yes , I can ask no more enviable lot for
our girls than one like hers. "
According to these irrefragable au
thorities , then , our heroine had steered
clear of the rock upon which so many
of her age and sex hive split ; kept out
of the current that ould have strand
ed her , high and forlorn , upon the bar
ren headlands of celibacy ; had , virtu
ously eschewing "crude" instinct , and
heart promptings , and natural laws ( fit
only , in Mrs. Romaine's creed , for the
guidance of beasts , and birds , and
other irrational things ) , rendered just
and graceful obedience to the equitable
principle prescribed and practiced l.y
the autocrats of the "best circles. "
These burning and shining beacons
cease not , night nor day , to .varn off
the impetuous young from the rigors
and desolation of Scylla , and cast such
illusive glare upon Charybdis as makes
its seething rapids seem a Pacific of
delicious calm.

' N ' js z. and warmth. There
is a divine delight in the slow sweep
of the outer circles of the maelstrom ;
the half consciousness of the awaken
ing heart , like that of the babe who ,
aroused from slumber by his mother's
voice , smiles recognition of the dear
music before his eyes are unsealed by
her kisses , or his head is nestled upon
her bosom.
That to every human heart such
awakening comes , sooner or later , I
hold and believe for certain. Deserts
of salt and bitterness there are in the
spiritual as well as in the material
world ; but there was a time when the
Creator , whose name is Love , pro
nounced them "very good , " when as
yet the flood , and the rain of fire and
brimstone had not made havoc of all
their pleasant things , nor the soft soil
been hardened Into fiint and gravel by
dearth and heat And , to that garden
of the Lord's planting there came a day
when or of what duration He knows ,
and perchance He alone when the
south wind blew softly , and all the
spices thereof flowed out spikenard
and saffron , calamus and cinnamon ,
with all trees of frakincpnse , myrrh
and aloes. It may have ueen but for
one glad nour one moment of bewil
dering bliss , that the heart thus visited
was transformed into a fountain of
gardens , a well of living waters and
streams from Lebanon. The next may
have witnessed the rush of the deluge
or the bursting of the pitchy cloud ;
and behold ! in place of Eden , a lair
of wild beasts , a house full of doleful
creatures , meet for the dwelling .if owls
and the dance of satyrs.
Other "visions than these images of
woe and terror abode with Constance ;
formless fancies , fair as vague ; spe
cious reveries in which she lived
through coming years as she was do
ing now , surrounded by the same out
ward comforts ; her steps guarded by
the same friend , whose mere presence
meant contentment ; with whom the
interchange of thought and feeling left
nothing to De desired from human sym
pathy. It was a severe shock that
showed ner the precipice upon the
flowery -verge -which she lay dream
ing.
ing.The
The brothers Trere , one morning , dis-
cussing-at brealcfast the meritj cf a pair
of horses that had been offered for
sale to the elder. For a wonder Ed
ward displayed more caution in accept
ing the jockey's declaration of taeir
fitness for family use than did his
staid relatives. Mr. Withers was very
obstinate in his adherence to what ever
principle or prejudice lie believed that
he had seen cause to adopt , and his
eye had oeen captivated by the showy
team ; his credulous hearing gained hy
the adroit tongue of the dealer. All
that Edward's dissuasiors could effect
was acquiescence in his proposal that
they should try the horses before the
sleigh that afternoon , before deciding
upon the purchase.
Harriet clapped her hands vivacions-
ly. "And then you'll drive by and give
us a turn behind the beauties. I am
sure they must be heavenly from what
Cousin Elnathan says. I am wild to
see them ! "
"There is a look in the eye of one
that bespeaks the spirit of another
legion , " said Edward , apart to Con
stance.
"Don't ride after them ! " she en
treated , quickly. "Your brother will
yield if you tell him plainly how un
safe you consider them. "
"Not unsafe for him and myself ,
perhaps ; but hardly ths creatures to be
entrusted with your life and limb , " he
rejoined. "Rect assured that I shall j
make a thorough test of them before
consenting to the venture. I shall drive
them myself , and speak out frankly
the result of the trial. In whatever
else we may differ , Elnathan and I are
a unit in our care for your welfare.
So , if we show ourselves and the heav
enly span of quadrupeds at the door
today , you need not fear to accept our
invitation. "
The gentle and affectionate reassur
ance contrasted pleasantly with Mr.
Withers's authoritative mandate.
"Constance ! you will hold yourself in
readiness to drive out with us this af
ternoon. We shall call for you at three
o'clock. I wish you and Harriet to be
entirely prepared for the ride when
we come. Young horses do not like to
stond in the cold. "
An impulse she did not stay to de
fine drew Constance to the window as
the two gentlemen descended the front
steps side by side. Mr. Withers was a
trifle the taller of the two , but his
figure was angular and unbending ;
Edward's sjpple and elegant , while
scarcely a trace of family likeness ex
isted between the swarthy visage of the
elder , with its deep-set eyes , long up
per lip , and high , narrow forehead ,
and the lively glance , clear complexion ,
and spirited mouth that made Edward's
physiognomy a goodly sight to more
eyes than those that met the parting
smile he cast up at the parlor window
when he gained the pavement , where
as Mr. Withers stalked solemnly on ,
apparently forgetful already that he
had a home and wife , now that his face
was set office-ward.
"Shadow and sunshine ! " reflected the
gazer. "And they are not more un
like in countenance than in disposi
tions , aims and conduct as dissimilar
as two upright men can be. "
Harriet's shallow treble sounded at
her elbow like a repetition of the last
thought. "No one would ever take
them to be relatives , " she said. "Yet
each * is excellent in his way. Don't
you think so ? "
"Yes , " answered Constance , moving
away.
"Only their ways are so different- !
persisted the cousin. "I like Elnathan
best , of course , but Edward is the more
popular man of the two , I believe isn't
he ? "
"I really do not know ! " Constance
left the room uttering the falsehood.
Harriet had a trick of making her
intensely uncomfortable whenever the
talk between them turned upon the
brothers.
"I hate comparisons ! " she said to her
self , when she reached her room. "And
it is forward and indelicate in her to
institute them in my hearing. "
Convinced that the sudden heat
warming her heart and cheeks /as ex
cited by Harriet's impertinence , she
made it her business to stop thinking
of the conversation and its origin so
soon as she could dismiss it and turn
her attention to pleasanter things. It
was more innocent and agreeable work ;
for instance , to write out Edward's part
of a new duet upon a fair sheet of
paper which > .e could hold in his hand
as he stood by her at the piano , the
printed copy being so blurred as to try
his eyes. He was very slightly near
sighted , although a casual acquaintance
would not have suspected it. She
copied music legibly and rapidly , and
lately had hit upon this happy device
of making him some poor return for
the manifold services he had rendered
her. "All that I can do leaves me de
plorably in his debt , " she reasoned. "I
never knew what was the fullness : nd
disinterestedness of a brother's love un
til I met him. But all brothers are not
so considerate or devoted as is he. I
should understand that. "
'to be ro.ri'UEi > .
Hf Was Indeed Absent"Minded. .
Judge Hawley of th'j United dtates
circuit court related recently from the
bench a good story at the expense of
a distinguished lawyer and United
States senator , whose name was not
mentioned. This prominent member
of the bar was very absent-minded at
times. One morning he was on his
way to court in a great hurry , and
happening to overtake a friend , re
marked : "I dressed in such haste this
morning that I forgot my watch. " A
little further on he said : "I wonder
if I have time to go back and get it , "
and as he spoke he pulled out his watch
from his pocket. "No , I have not time , "
he concluded , after consulting the dial ,
and he walked on. Nearing the court
house he hired a messenger to go for
the watch , paying him a dollar for the
service. The messenger returned with
the information that the timepiece
could not be found , whereupon the
lawyer exclaimed , losking up from his
books and papers : "That is very
strange ! " Then he took a swift glance
at his -watch and said : "It makes no
difference , anyhow. I can do without
it. The judge is late and there is plen
ty of time. " And he paid the messen *
ger another dollar.
Paris Policemen Clubs.
Policemen in Paris now carry clubs ,
beautifully decorated. They are pure
white , with yellow handles. Around the
middle is painted a double blue ribbon ,
with the city arms at the point where
the ends of the ribbon cross. The white
color will be more easily noticed than
any other by coachmen , the sticks
being held like conductor's batons by
the policemen in the middle of the
street , to direct travel to the right or
left or to stop it when needful.
