A LOVE STORY BY AMELIA E. BARR
(Copyricht, 1900, by Amelia E. Barr)
CHAPTER II.—(Continued.)
About six o'clock Arenta Van
Ariens made a personal response to
her friend’s message. She was all ex
citement and expectation. Who do
you think called on me this after
noon. No less a person than Madame
Kippon. Gertrude Kippon is going to
be married. She is going to marry a
French count! And madame is be
side herself with the great alliance.”
“Our drawing-rooms, and even our
streets, are full of titles,” said Cor
nelia; "I think it is a distinction to
be plain master and mistress.”
“That is the truth; even this hand
some dandy, Joris Hyde, is a lieuten
ant.”
“He was in the field two years. He
told me so this afternoon. I dare
say, he has earned his title, even if he
is a lieutenant.”
"Don’t be so highty-tighty, Cor
nelia. I have no objection to military
titles. In fact, I rather lean to of
ficial titles of every kind."
Then Arenta, having arranged her
ringlets, tied her sash and her sandals,
the girls went down to the parlor.
Dr. Moran, Rem Van Ariens, and
Lieut. Hyde were present. The latter
was handsomely dressed in a dark
blue velvet coat, silver-laced, a long
white satin vest and black satin
breeches. His hair was thrown back
wards and tied with the customary
black ribbon, and his linen and laces
were of the finest quality. He met
Cornelia as he might have met a prin
cess; and he flashed into Arenta's
eyes a glance of admirrtion which
turned her senses upside down, and
“Dear Arenta, we shall have so
much more time, to-morrow. Come to
morrow.”
But Arenta was not pleased. She
left her friend with an air of repressed
Injury, and afterwards made little re
marks about Cornelia to her brother,
which exactly fitted his sense of
wounded pride.
“Ever since she was a little girl,
eleven years old, I have loved
her,” said Rem; “and she knows it.”
“She knows it; that is so. When I
was at Bethlehem, I read her all your
letters, and many a time you spoke in
them of her as your ‘little wife.’ Come,
come, we must go to our rooms, for
that is our father I hear moving about.
In a few minutes he will be angry,
and then-”
She did not finish the sentence;
there was no necessity; Rem knew
what unpleasantness the threat im
plied, and he slipped off his shoes and
stole quietly upstairs. Arenta did not
hurry, though the great Flemish clock
on the stair-landing chimed eleven as
she entered her room.
“After all,” she mused, "the even
ing was a possibility. It was a door
on the latch—I may push it open and
go in—who can tell? I saw how
amazed he was at my beauty when I
first entered the parlor—and he is but
a man—and a young man who likes
his own way—so much is evident.”
Then she heard her brother moving
about the floor of the room above her
and a shadow darkened her face. She
had strong family affections, and she
was angry that Rem should be trou
bled by any man or woman, living.
The fresh sea wind and the bright sunshine.
made her feel, for a moment or two,
as If she could hardly breathe.
Upon Arenta’s brother he had not
produced a pleasant impression. With
out 'ntention, he had treated young
Van Ariens with that negative polite
ness which dashes a sensitive man,
and makes him resentfully conscious
that he has been rendered incapable
or doing himself justice. And Rem
tried in various ways to introduce
soir 9 conversation which would afford
him the pleasure of contradiction. He
failed to consider that his barely
veiled antagonism compelled from the
do /tor, and even from Cornelia and
Arenta, attentions he might not other
wise have received. So Hyde easily
became the hero of the hour, he was
permitted to teach the girls the charm
ing old-world step of the Pas de
Quatre, and afterwards to sing with
them merry airs from Figaro, and sen
timental airs from Lodoiska.
Fortunately, some of Dr. Moran’s
neighbors called early in the evening.
Then whist parties were formed. But
though Cornelia was all sweetness and
graciousness; though Rem played well
and IJeut. Hyde played badly; though
Rem had the satisfaction of watching
Hyde depart in his chair, while he
stood with a confident friendship by
Cornelia's side, he was not satisfied.
There was an air of weariness and
constraint in the room, and the little
stir of departing visitors did not hide
it. Rem approached his sister and
said, "it is time to go home." Arenta
looked at her friend; she expected to
be aSKGd to remain, and she was of
fended when Cornelia did not give her
the invitation.
“I expected you would ask me to
stay with you, Cornelia.”
"I think it is best for you to go
home with Rem. Otherwise he might,
in his present temper, find himself
near Becker’s, and if a man is quarrel
some he may always get principals and
i seconds there. In the morning Rem
will, I hope, be reasonable."
I "1 thought you and I would talk
1 things over to-night. I like to talk
, over a new pleasure,”
“I have always thought Cornelia a
very saint,” she muttered, “but Love
is the great revealer. I wonder if she
is in love—to tell the truth, she was
past finding out. I cannot say that I
saw the least sign of it—and between
me and myself, Rem was unreason
able; however, I am not pleased that
Rem felt himself to be badly used.”
And she said her prayers, and fell
calmly asleep, to the flattering thought,
"I would not much wonder if, at this
moment, Lieut. Hyde is thinking about
me.”
In reality, Lieut. Hyde was at that
moment in the Belvedere club, singing
the "Marseillaise,” and listening to a
very inflammatory speech from the
French minister. But a couple of
hours later, Arenta’s “wonder” would
have touched the truth. He was then
alone, and very ill satisfied; for, after
some restless reflections, he said im
patiently:
“I have again made a fool of myself.
I have now all kinds of unpleasant feel
ings, and when I left that good doc
tor’s house I was well satisfied. His
daughter is an angel. I praise myself
for finding that out.
Then he rose, threw off his velvet
and lace, and designedly let his
thoughts turn to Arenta. ‘‘She is
pretty beyond all prettiness.” he said
softly as he moved about. "She dances
well, talks from hand to mouth, and
she gave me one sweet glance, and I
1 think if she has gone so far—she
j might go further.”
CHAPTER III.
Hyde and Arenta.
Seldom is Love ushered into any life
with any pomp of circumstance or cer
emony; there is no overture to our
opera, no prologue to our play, and
the most momentous meetings occur
as if by mere accident. A friend de
layed Cornelia a while on the street,
and turning, she met Hyde face to
face; a moment more, or less, and
the meeting had not been. Ah, but
some Power had set that moment for
their meeting, and the delay had been
intended, and the consequences fore
seen!
In a dim kind of way Hyde realized
thi3 fact as he sat the next day with
an open book before him. He was not
reading it; he was thinking of Corne
lia. Soon he closed his book with, im
patience, and went to Prince’s and
bought a little rush basket filled with
i sw-eet violets. Into their midst he
slipped his visiting card, and saw the
boy on his way with the flowers to
Cornelia ere he w’as satisfied they
would reach her quickly enough. Then
turning aimlessly into Pearl street, he
saw Cornelia.
She Vas dressed only in a little
morning gown of Indian chintz, but in
such simple toilet had still more dis
tinctively that air of youthful modesty
which he had found so charmingly tan
talizing.
Cornelia was going to the “Univer
sal Store” of Gerardus Duyekinck, and
Hyde begged to go with her. He said
he was used to shopping, and could
tell the value of laces, and knew how
to choose a piece of silk, or match the
crewels for her embroidery; and, in
deed, pleaded his case so merrily, that
there was no refusing his offer. And
how it happened lovers can tell, but
after the shopping was finished they
found themselves walking towards the
Battery, with the fresh sea wind, and
the bright sunshine, and the joy of
each other’s presence all around them.
Now Love has always something in
it of the sea, and the murmur of the
tide against the pier, the hoarse voices
of the sailor men, the scent of the salt
water, and all the occult unrecog
nized, but keenly felt life of the ocean,
were ministers to their love, and for
ever and ever blended in the heart
and memory of the youth and maid
who had set their early dream of each
other to its potent witchery. Time
went swiftly, and suddenly Cornelia
remembered that she was subject to
hours and minutes. A little fear came
into her heart, and closed it, and she
said, with a troubled air, "My mother
will be anxious. I had forgotten. 1
must go home:” So they turned north
ward again.
At the gates of her home they stood
a moment, and there Hyde touched
her hand and said, “I have never, in
all my life, been so happy. It has
been a walk beyond hope, and beyond
expression!” And she lifted her face,
and the smile on her lips and the light
in her eyes answered him.
Cornelia trembled as she opened
the parlor door; she feared to look
into her mother’s face, but it was as
serene as usual, and she met her
daughter’s glane® with one of infinite
affection and some little expectancy.
This was a critical moment, and Cor
nelia hesitated slightly. Then she
said with a blunt directness which put
all subterfuge out of the question;
“Mother, I have been a long time,
but I met Lieut. Hyde, and we walked
down to the Battery; and I think i
have stayed beyond the hour I ought
to have stayed, but the weather was
so delightful”
“The weather is very delightful and
Lieut. Hyde is very polite. Did he
speak of the violets he sent you?”
“I suppose he forgot them. Ah, there
they are! How beautiful! How
fragrant! I will give them to you,
mother.”
“They are your own, my dear. 1
would not give them away. Take your
flowers and put them In water—the
young man is very extravagant, 1
think. Do you know that it is quite
noon, and your father will be home Id
a little while?”
And there was such kind Intent,
such a divining sympathy in the sim
ple words, that Cornelia’s heart grew
warm with pleasure, and she felt
that her mother understood, and did
not much blame her. She went with
some haste to her room, and, forget
ting all else, sat down and permitted
herself to enter the delicious land ol
Reverie. She let the thought of Hyde
repossess her, and present again and
again to her imagination his form, his
face, his voice, and those long caress
ing looks she had seen and felt, with
out seeming to be aware of them.
(To be continued.)
PHOTOGRAPH WINS A CASE.
Bright Idea That Was Worked by
Clever Lawyer.
A Philadelphia lawyer tells the story
that a picture of Fanny Davenport
once won a case for him. His client
was suing the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, of which Wayne MacVeagb
was counsel, for $7,500 damages for
the death of her husband. “Just a few
days before the case was to have come
up she happened into my office and an
nounced that she had married again.
‘Good Lord, madam,’ I gasped, ‘why
couldn’t you have waited until your
case came up? It’s next to impossible
for me to get damages for you now.’
She said she didn't care very much,
and went out, seeming very happy.
“Well, it just happened that I had a
photograph of Fanny Davenport on my
desk, and when the next day Wayne
MacVeagh happened into my office to
discuss quite another matter he picked
up the photo and admired it. ‘Who’s
your friend?’ he asked.
“I had a sudden inspiration and 1
said: ‘Why, that’s the lady who is
suing your company for $7,500.’
“ ‘The deuce you say,’ said he. 'Hand
some woman, isn’t she?’
“ ‘She is. indeed,” I replied.
“‘H—ml’ he exclaimed, looking at
the picture closely. ‘A deuced hand
some woman, I should say. A deuced
handsome woman.’ There was a slight
pause. ‘What’ll you take to settle this
case?’ he asked.
“I thought of my client’s second
marriage, and 1 fixed the figure at
$5,000. The deal was consummated,
and the case never came to court.”—

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON XL, MARCH 15, ACTS 19:23
40—THE RIOT AT EPHESUS.
Golden Text—“The Lord Preserveth
the Faithful”—Pcalm 31:23—The
Gospel in Contact With Evil Cus
toms and Bad Occupations.
I. Paul's Plans for the Future.—Vs.
21, 22. The time was approaching when
Paul should leave the church at Ephesus,
and carry on his work in other Helds.
He planned to go on his next tour to
Rome, the political capital of thp world,
and the great center of power an'd in
fluence. The gospel there would be like
the golden milestone in the forum, from
which radiated ail the roads, and were
measured all distances in the empire.
II. The Gospel Interferes with Certain
Business Interests.—Vs. 24-27. In our last
lesson we saw how Christians voluntari
ly gave up a bad business for Christ's
sake. Now we see how the gospel less
ened the gains of wickedness in the case
of those who opposed It.
24. “A certain man named Demetrius."
Probably the head of the whole guild of
shrine makers. “Which made silver
shrines." temples. "That part of the tem
ple In which the image of the god was
placed." These shrines were small mod
els of the temple of Diana. "Diana."
25. “Called together." First the arti
sans In silver shrines, the manufacture
of which was the most lucrative, and re
quired the more skilled workmen: then
"the workmen of like occupation.” De
metrius is regarded as the president of
the whole guild.
26. 'Paul hath . . . turned away
much people." This is significant ns show
ing /tow great progress the gospel had
made, and as a confession of the weak
ness of Idols.
27. "Our craft is In danger." There was
no regard for the lives made better, the
purer homes, the higher Ideals, the sick
restored, but only for their own gains.
Practical Suggestions. The modern
world contains muny of the descendants
of the "Ephesian silversmiths, opposing
every reform that Interferes with trade
and moneymaking. The saloon makes the
same argument against temperance and
prohibitory laws as the craftsmen of
Ephesus against Christianity.
ft Is said that the idolaters thought it
a wonderful invention when they thought
of the plan of making small shrines of
Diana and her temple, which they called
"Dlaneans," little Dianas; so that they
could have their gouSess always with
them, at home, in their business, on their
travels, and were no longer restricted in
their worship to the temple at Ephesus.
So Christians have been called "little
Christs,” representatives on a small scale
and of inferior magnificence of the char
acter, life, and teachings of Jesus Chris;.
III. The Mob and the Riot.—Vs. 28-34.
28. “They were full of wrath.” "Great Is
Diana of the Ephesians.” Just as Un
English say, "Dong live the king.”
2y. "The whole city was tilled with”
(the) "confusion," "The mob of Ephesus
made for the house of Aquila, with whom
Paul was lodging. They missed their
prey; but as Paul tells us that Aquila and
Priscilla had for his life laid down their |
own necks (Rom. 16:4). It is likely that
these faithful friends In shielding the
apostle brought themselves into the most
imminent peril. The mob, though baf
fled of their principal aim, seized on Gaius
and Aristarchus, two of Paul's associates,
and dragged them away as criminals.”—
Dewin. "Rushed with one necnrd Into the
theater." The Colosseum, capable of hold
ing fifty thousand people.
30. “When Paul would have entered."
Paul was unwilling to allow his friends
to suffer In Ills stead. He may have
hoped to quell the mob with his persua
sive eloquence. He was In serious danger
from the mob.
31. "Certain of the chiefs of Asia,"
which were Ills friends. Either Christians
or open-minded men. such as Paul more
than once attracted to himself.
33. "Anil they drew," Induced by per
suasion. “Alexander. The Jews putting
him forward.” In order that he might
speak to the mob and disclaim all sym
pathy with Paul, lest the Jews should be
confounded with the Christians, and
be attacked by the mob.
IV. The Riot Quelled.—Vs. 35-41. 35.
"And when the town clerk,” most Influ
ential person in Ephesus.
First Argument. "The city of the Ephe
sians is n worshiper." The title is found
on the inscriptions ns belonging to Ephe
sus. "The image which fell down from
Jupiter,” fallen from heaven, the home
of Jupiter.
36. “Seeing then," etc. This is the con
clusion of the recorder’s tirst argument,
it is useless to be excited about that
which no attacks can harm,—a dog bark
ing at the moon, a castle bombarded with
snowballs.
Second. 3,. His second argument is that
Paul and his companions have not done
that with which they have been charged.
"Are neither robbers of churches" (tem
ples). “Nor yet blasphemers of your god
dess.” They have done nothing by ac
tions or by words which should arouse
your Indignation. This statement throws
light on Paul’s method of preaching
against error, more by positive truths
than by direct attack.
Third. 38. His third argument was that
a better and legal way of redress was open
to "Demetrius, and the craftsmen," pro
vided they had any grievance. “The law
Is open.” Rather the law courts, "and
there are deputies." "Proconsuls,” gov
ernors; as we would say, ' There arc as
sizes and Judges." "Let them implead,”
bring a charge, come forward us ac
cusers.
Fourth. V. 40 Introduces the fourth ar
gument. "For we are in danger to be
called In question." To be accused by
the Roman government, in which case
much harm would come upon them than
from anything the Christians could do;
for death was the penalty those who
raised a riot must pay; and the city
might be deprived of Its prized liberty.
"There being no cause.” No excuse, no
snflieient reason. "Give an account of this
concourse." After the mob was quieted,
Paul left Ephesus, and went across the
Aegean Spa to Macedonia.
Practical Suggestions. 1. Mob violence
is tho worst means of advancing a good
cause or of righting wrongs. It indorses
the devil’s weapons, which had men can
wield more easily than good men.
2. There are times when It is wise to
leave the scene of contention and oppo
sition as Paul did at Ephesus and else
where, and as Christ commanded his
disciples, "whpn they persecute you in
this city, lice ye into another” (Matt.
10:23). It is better at tltr.es to leave the
leaven to work silently.
Quiet Days.
How wonderful the Gosp- i of Christ
la. I have beer, thinking about it and
preaching about it for more than forty
yea: 8.
1 believe that we owe a great deal to
the quiet months that Paul spent in
prison; it was during this enforced
interruption of his activity that he
came to know, through the lllumlna
tlon of the Holy Christ, all the won
ders contained in his later epistles.
Physical weakness separating us from
the common excitements of life, may
! render us all a similar service.
A Witty Lawyer.
A number of years ago suit was
brought againts the cashier of the
State Bank of Iowa Falls to recover
an alleged deposit, which deposit the
bank denied, according to a story in
“The Green Bag.’’ During the trial at
Eldora the defendant’s attorney made
a very convincing argument for his
client, and took pains to tell the jury
of his client’s high social and relig
ious standing and the confidence of
the people which he enjoyed, and en
deavored to impress upon the minds
of the jury that the defendant was not
the kind of a man to make a mistake
in the handling of other people’s
money. T. H. Milner, a witty as well
as a very shrewd lawyer, said: "Gen
tlemen. I heartily concur In what my
brother has said of the defendant; I
agree with him in each and every
statement that he has made pertain
ing to Mr. -—'s good self; but I woulu
have you consider this one fact—Can
ada is full of just such men.’’
Taking Down Beerbohm Tree.
Beerbohm Tree, the London actor,
has rather a pompous manner, whioh
is calculated to ruffle the temper of
other people at times. An actor from
tho provinces called upon him recent
ly, hoping to get an opportunity to
show his worth on the metropolitan
stage. "Oh, I could not possibly give
you a part,” saJd the great manager,
“but I dare say I could arrange to let
you walk on with the crowd in the
last act.” The young aspirant flushed
with indignation, but holding himself
well In hand replied pleasantly: "My
Gear Mr. Tree, 1 really don’t think I
have heard anything quite so funny
irom you since your Hamlet.”
Hadn't Time for Squirming.
Not long ago Sir Richard Powell, a
famous London physician, was called
to treat King Edward. The king's
regular physician, Sir Francis Lak
ing, was present. After examining
his august patient Sir Richard said in
his characteristically brusque way:
"You have eaten and drunk too much.
I will send you a prescription that will
put you right.” Then he hurried out
to see other patients, when Sir Fran
cis followed and protested against his
abrupt way of treating the king. “My
dear leaking.” said Powell, "if there
is any squirming to do you return and
attend to it. I really haven't the
time.”
A Big Increase.
A Wcdnesbury (England) resident
in the sixteneth century left $1,000 to
provide annually on St. Thomas’ day
three gowns and three coats to in
digent persons of the parish. Follow
ing the custom of the times, the money
was invested in land (in this case in
minerals), and the original legacy has
increased in value to $:’>0,000. Instead
of three gowns and three coats, the
chatty commissioners who administer
the funds are able to present ?‘‘0
gowns and sixty coats.
Through and Through.
New Bedford, Mass., March 2d.—At
658 First street, this city, lives a very
happy man. His name is Ulric Levas
seur and he certainly has good reason
to feel glad and proud.
Mr. Levasseur has been sick for a
long time with general weakness and
a sore pain in his back. At the last he
got so very bad that he could not
walk without great misery. Now ho
is well, and in speaking of this won
derful change in him he says:
“I believe it to be my duty to tell
everybody how I was cured. I was so
weak that I could not stoop. In fact, I
was unable to w-alk without great pain.
I began taking Dodd's Kidney Pills
and after a two months’ treatment I
am well and sound again.
"Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a God-sent
remedy. I will always praise them for
their wonderful cure of my case. They
cured me through and through. I am
as strong and able a man now as 1
ever was.”
An Irish student defines nothing as
