A LOVE STORY BY AMELIA E. BARR
(Copyright, 1<K», bp Amelia E. Barr)
CHAPTER VII.
Arenta’s Marriage.
For a few weeks, Hyde’s belief that
the very stars would connive with a
true lover seemed a reliable one.
vladame Jacobus, attracted at their
first meeting to the youth, soon gave
him an astonishing affection. She put
aside her nephew’s claims with hardly
a thought, and pleased herself day by
day ia so managing and arranging
events that Hyde and Cornelia met. as
a matter of course. Arenta was not,
however, deceived; she understood
every maneuvre, but the success of her
own affairs depended very much on her
aunt's co-operation and generosity, and
so she could not afford, at this time, to
Interfere for her brother.
"But 1 shall alter things a little as
soon as I am married," she told her
self. "I will take care of that."
Arenta's feelings were in kind and
meastire shared by several other peo
ple; Dr. Moran held them in a far bit
terer mood; but he, also—environed by
circumstances he could neither alter
nor command—was compelled to sat
isfy his disapproval with promises of
a future change. For the wedding
Arenta Van Arlens had assumed a
great social importance. Arenta her
self had talked about the affair until
all classes were on the tiptoe of ex
pectation. The wealthy Dutch fami
lies, the exclusive American set, the
home and foreign diplomatic circles,
were alike looking forward to the
splendid ceremony, and to the great
breakfast at Peter Van Arien's house,
and to the ball which Madame Jacobus
was to give in the evening.
One morning, as Dr. Moran was re
turning home after a round of dis
agreeable visits, ho saw Cornelia and
Hyde coming up Broadway together.
They were sauntering side by side in
all the lazy happiness of perfect love
and as he looked at them the sorrow
of an immense disillusion filled him to
the lips. He believed himself, as yet.
to be the first and the dearest In his
child's love; but in that moment his
eyes were opened, and he felt as if he
had been suddenly thrust out from it
and the door closed upon him.
He did the wisest thing possible;
he went home to his wife. “Where is
Cornelia, Ava?” he asked the question
with a quick glance round the room,
as if he expected to find her present.
"Cornelia is not at home to-day?”
“Is she ever at home now?”
“You know that Arenta's wed
ding—”
"Arenta’s wedding! Bless my soul!
of course I know. I know one thing
at least, that 1 have just met Cornelia
and that young fop George Hyde com
ing up the street together, as if they
two alone were in the world. They
never saw me, they could see nothing
but themselves.”
“Men and women have done such a
thing before, John, and they will do
it again. Cornelia is a beautiful girl,
and it is natural that she should have
a lover.”
“It is very unnatural that she should
rhoose for her lover the son of my
worst enemy.”
“I am sure you wrong Gen. Hyde.
When was he your enemy? How
could he be your enemy?”
“When was he my enemy? Ever
since the first hour we mot. And you
want me to give Cornelia to his son!
Yes, you do, Ava! I see it in your face.
You stretch my patience too far. Can
I not see—”
“Can an angry man ever see? N'o,
he cannot. You feed your own sus
picions, John. I think Rem Van
Arenta lifted the pearls.
Ariens has as much of Cornelia’s lik
ing as George Hyde; and perhaps
neither of them have enough of it to
win her hand. All lovers do not grow
to husbands.”
“Thank God, they do not! Rut what
you say about Rem is only cobweb
stuff. She is too friendly, too pleas
antly familiar. 1 would like to see her
more shy and silent with him."
“Dinner is waiting, John, and
whether you eat it or not. Destiny
will go straight to her mark. Love is
destiny, and the heart is its own fate.
Did 1 not know thee. John, the very
moment that we met?”
She spoke softly, w ith a voice sweet
er than music, and her husband was
touched and calmed. He took the
hand she stretched out to him and
kissed It, and she added:
“Let us be patient. Love has rea
boob that reason does not understand,
and If Cornelia is Hyde's by predes
tination as well as by choice, vainly
we shall worry and fret, all our op
position will come to nothing. In a
few dayR Arenta will have gone away,
and as for Hyde, any hour may sum
mon him to join his father in Eng
land; and this summons, as it will in
clude his motner, he can neither evade
nor put off. Then Rem will have his
opportunity."
"To be patient—to wait—to say
nothing—it is to give opportunity too
much scope."
"Time and absence against any love
affair that is not destiny! And If it
be destiny, there is only submission,
nothing else. But life lias a maybe’
in everything dear; a maybe that is
just as likely to please us as not.”
Then Doctor John looked up with a
smile. "You are' right. Ava," he said
cheerfully. “I will take the maybe.
Maybes have a dial to do with life.
Yet. take my word for it, there is, I
think, no maybe in Rem's chances
with Cornelia."
"We shall see. I think there is.”
Rem, with the blunt directness of
his nature, watched with jealous dis
like, and often with rude impatience,
the familiar intercourse which his
aunt’s partiality permitted Hyde. He
was, indeed, often so rude that a less
sweet-tempered, a less just youth than
George Hyde would have pointedly re
sented many offences that he passed
by with that "noble not caring” which
is often the truest courage.
But wrath covered carries fate.
Every one was in some measure con
scious of danger and glad when the
wedding day approached. Even Aren
ta had grown a little weary of the
prolonged excitement she had pro
voked, for everything had gone so
well with her that she had taken the
public very much into her confidence.
Ar.d, as if to add the last touch of
glory to the event, just a week be
fore Arenta's nuptials a French armed
frigate came to New York bearing
dispatches for the Count de Moustier,
and the Marquis de Tounnerre was
selected to bear back to France the
Minister s message. So the marriage
was put forward a few days for this
end, and Arenta in the most unexpect
ed way obtained the bridal journey
which she desired, and' also with it
the advantage of entering France in
a semi-public and stately manner.
“I am tfte luckiest girl in the
world,” she said to Cornelia and her
brother when this point had been de
cided. They were tying up "dream
cake’ for the wedding guests in
madame’s queer, uncanny drawing
room as she spoke, and the words
were yet on her lips when madame
entered with a sandal wood box in
her hands.
"Rem,” she said, "go with Cornelia
into the dining room for a few min
utes. I have something to say to
Arenta that concerns no one else.”
As soon as they were alone madame
opened the box and upon a white vel
vet cushion lay the string of oriental
pearls which Arenta on certain occa
sions had been permitted to wear.
Arenta’s eyes flashed with delight.
With an intense desire and interest
she looked at the beautiful beads, but
madame’s face was troubled and som
ber. and she said almost reluctantly:
"Arenta. I am going to make you an
offer. This necklace will be yours
when I die, at any rate; but I think
there is in your heart a wish to have
it now. And as you are going to what
is left of the French court, I will give
it to you now, if the gift will be to
your mind.”
"There is nothing that could be
more to niv mind, dear aunt. You
always know what is in a young girl's
heart.”
"First, listen to what I say. No
woman of our family has escaped cal
amity of some kind, if they owned
these beads. My mother lost her hus
band the year she received them. My
Aunt Iiiidegarde lost her fortune as
soon as they were hers. As for my
self, they very day the became mine
our Uncle Jacobus sailed away and
he has never come hack. Are you
not afraid of such fatality?”
"No, I am not. What power can a
few beads have over human life or
happiness? . To say so, to think so,
is foolishness.”
"I know not. Yet I have heard that
both pearls and opals have the powder
to attract to themselves the ill for
tune of their wearers.”
"Do you believe such tales, aunt? I
do not. I snap my fingers at such
fables.”
“Give them to you. I will not, Aren
ta; but you may take them from the
box with your own hands.”
The madame left the room and
Arenta lifted the box and carried it
nearer to the light. And a little shivs?
crept through her heart and she
closed the lid quickly and said irri
tably:
“It is my aunt's words. She is
always speaking dark and doubtful
tilings. However, the pearls are mine
at last!” and she carried them with
her downstairs, throwing back her
head as if they were round her white
throat and—as was her way—spread
ing herself as she went.
All fine weddings are much alike.
It was only in such accidentals as
costume that Arenta's differed from
the fine weddings of to-day.
New York was not then too busy
making money to take an interest in
such a wedding, and Arenta's drive
through Us pleasant streets was a
kind of public infitation. For Jacob
Van Ariens was one of a guild of
wealthy merchants, and they were at
their shop doors to express their
sympathy hy lifted hats and smiling
faces; while the women looked from
every window, and the little children
followed, their treble voices heralding
and acclaiming the beautiful bride.
Then came the breakfast and the
health drinking and the speech
making and the rather sadder drive
to the wharf at which lay La Belle
France. Then the anchor was lifted,
the cable loosened, and with every
sail set La Be'.le France went dancing
down the rivi*~ in the tide-top to the
open set.
Van Ariens and his son Rem turned
silently away. A great and evident
depression had suddenly taken the
place of their assumed satisfaction.
They had outworn emotion and knew
instinctively that some common duty
was the best restorer. The same feel
ing afTected, in one way or another, all
the watchers of this destiny. Women
whose household work was belated,
had used up their nervous strength in
waiting and feeling, were now' cross
and inclined to belittle the affair and
to be angry at Arenta and themselves
for their lost day. And men, young
and old, went back to their ledgers
and counters and manufacturing with
a sense of lassitude and dejection.
Peter had nearly readied his own
house when he met Doctor Moran.
The doctor was more irritable and de
pressed. He looked at his friend
and said sharply, "You have a fever,
Van Ariens. Go to bed and sleep.”
"To work 1 will go. That is the
best thing to do. My house has no
comfort in it. Like a milliner s or a
mercer’s store it has been for many
’ s
“It is the curse of Adam.”
weeks. He suddenly stopped and
looked at the doctor with brimming
eyes. In that moment he understood
that no putting to rights could ever
make his home the same. His little
saucy, selfish, nut dearly loved Arenta
would come there no more; and he
found not one word that, could ex
press the tide of sorrow in his heart.
Doctor John understood. He remain
ed quiet, silent, clasping Van Arien's
hand until the desolate father with a
great effort blurted out:
"She is gone! And smiling, also,
she went.”
“It is the curse of Addm,” answered
Doctor John bitterly—“to bring up
daughters, to love them, to toil and
save and deny ourselves for them, and
then to see some strange man, of
whom we have no certain knowledge,
carry them off captive to his destiny
and his desires. ’Tis a thankless por
tion to be a father—a bitter pleas
ure.”
Very thoughtfully the Doctor went
on to William street, where he had a
patient— a young girl of about Aren
ta’s age—very ill. A woman opened
the door—a woman weeping bitterly.
(To be continued.)
THE POLICE OF NICE.
They Are Accommodating, but They
Like to Talk.
The policemen of Nice differ radi
cally from their colleagues in Paris.
They are not so business-like and
they want to talk things over. If yon
ask a Paris police officer for a direc
tion, he will say briefly, "Two streets
ahead of you, first turning to the
left.” Not so the Nice policeman. I
asked one the other day if he could
tell me where the Rue Lamartine
was.
"Why, certainly. Do you see that
church with the two towers?”
“Yes. Is it on the Rue Lamartine?”
"No, that is the Church of Notre
Dame, and opposite to it is-”
"Ah, I see—it is the Rue Lamar
tine.”
“Oh, no, that is the Avenue Notre
Dame. Well, you see, two streets this
side of that avenue is-”
"The Rue Lamartine?”
"Oh, no, that is the Boulevard Du
bouchage. Well, you go up that boule
vard for two blocks and then you turn
to the left. Hello, Henri, how are
you? Wait a minute till I'm through
with this man. Want to talk to you.
Lemme see. Where was 1? Oh, yes,
going up the boulevard. Well, you go
up there for two blocks and turn to
the left, and there you are at the Rue
Lamartine.”
"Thank you.”
"Don't mention It. Glad to bo of
service to you. A very good day to
you. Et autremain.” And the po
liceman turns and begins a conversa
tion with his friend Henri, while a
violent dispute breaks out between
two cabbies, to which he pays no at
tention at all.—Jerome Hart in San
Francftco Argonaut.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON IV., APRIL 26; ACTS 21:3:
12—PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JE
RUSALEM.
Golden Text—“The Will of the Lore
Be Done”—Acts 21:14—Faithful
ness of the Apostle in the Path of
Duty.
I. Views on the Voyage from Miletus.—
Vs. 1-8. Having torn themselves away
with reluetance and grief from the elder?
of Kphesus Paul and Ills companions pro
ceed on their voyage.
Passing a Scene of his Former Labors.
3. “When we had discovered Cyprus,"
came so near as to render Cyprus visible,
sighted it. hut did not land there. "Sailed
Into” (unto) "Syria." of which Phoenicia
Was a part, and of which “Tyre" was the
chief city.
II. Tyre and Its Associations.—Vs. 4-6.
Paul Finds Disciples at Tyre. 4. "And
(hiding" (the) "disciples." They inquired,
when they landed amid the crowded
streets of the stlil busy port, where the
disciples they knew to be there could lie
found.
Practical. The apostle's example may
well he followed by those who go from
place to plaee in these modern days. In
stead of waiting in silent obseurlty till
some Christian linds them out. let them
search for the disciples, and seek to do
Christian work, speak to Christians, take
part in meetings, go to the Sabbath
school, and then many a complaint will
be removed, and many a dark day among
strangers will be made light.
The Warning Prophecy. "Who said to
Paul through the Spirit, that he should
not go up to Jerusalem." It was revealed
to them, not that F'aul should not go. but
that if he went, he would go into bonds,
prison, sufferings. But Paul recognized
more elertrly the voice of the Spirit, and
his duty to proceed In spite of warnings
and remonstrances.
F'or he had a clear vision of the great
and glorious work to be accomplished by
bis visit. (1) He would unite the two
great branc hes of the church, the Jewish
and the Gentile. (21 In Homans, written
shortly before this time. F'aul expresses
his Intense desire for the salvation of his
countrymen. Now he would make one
last effort for them. It was his one op
portunity remaining. (3) Going to Jeru
salem was to lead through a thorny way
to Rome; but it was ihe best possible
way. far better than he had planned for
himself.
Farewell Greetings. 3. "When we had
accomplished those days. Went our way."
Were going on our journey. "Brought us
on our way.” The expressions of sym
pathy and love must have cheered the
apostle In these times of deepest anxiety.
t>. "We took ship.”
Practical Expressions of Sympathy. Do
not keep the alabaster boxes of your love
and tenderness sealed up until your
friends are dead. Fill their lives with
sweetness. The kind things you mean
to say when they are gone, say before
they go.
III. Cesarea.—Vs. 7-14. 7. "And when
we had finished our course." Our voyage
by sea. "Came to Ptolemais. ' About
thirty miles south of Tyre, the modern
acre, just north of Mount Carme l.
8. "And the next day we . . de
parted." Probably by land. The journey
was thirty or forty miles.
Cesarea and Its Associations. Cesarea
was the Homan capital of Palestine, and
tlie ottieial residence of the Herodtan
kings and the governors of Judea. It was
built and made a magnificent city and
port by Herod tin- Great, and named after
Cesar. It is seventy miles from Jerusa
lem.
Here Paul was Imprisoned, a few weeks
after the present visit, and remained in
prison for two ye ars, whence he was sent
te> Home.
“Philip . . . one of the seven" elea
cons appointed at the same time with
Stephen. He is to be distinguished from
Philip the Apostle. "The evangelist." The
word "evangelist," meuns a herald of
good tidings.
The Four Virgins which did Prophesy,
ft. "Had four daughters, virgins, which
did prophesy." This does not necessarily
Imply a revelation of future events, but
a consciousness of having some truth or
message from God. which the prophet
is impelled to utter. Virgins,
married these women could devote their
whole time to labors for Christ. Where
they preached, whether In private houses,
or to women only, or to public assem
blies. we do not know. The records of
Ihe New Testament simply show the frg?t
that God Inspires women as well as men.
and when he sends them fortli they have
a mission to proclaim the Gospei in their
own womanly way.
The Prophetic Symbol of Agabus. 10. “As
we tarried there many days.” As they
did not wish to be in Jerusalem till Pente
cost. there were several days at their dis
posal. “From Judea a certain prophet,
named Agabus." Probably the same who
in Antioch foretold the coming famine
(Acts 11:28), A. I). 43 or 44, fourteen or
fifteen years before.
11. "He took Paul's girdle,” like those
used to bind the loose, (lowing robes worn
in Eastern countries. "Bound his own”
(Agabus') "hands and feet.” Ills revela
tion was made in that dramatic form
w hich Impresses the mind with a stronger
sense of reality than mere wurds can do,
and which was made familiar to the Jews
of old by the practice of the Hebrew
prophets. "Thus saith the Holy Ghost. '
Through whom the revelations to the
prophets of old were given (Arts 18:25).
“So shall the Jews . , bind.” By
Instigating the IUminns to do this act.
The Jews were the real source of the per
secution. It was In this same city that
Paul was in bonds for two years.
12. ''Besought him not to go.” Inferring
that this was the intention of the prophe
cy. This false inference, here distinctly
stated, explains v. 1.
Paul Goes on in Face of all Dangers and
Persuasions. IS. "What mean ye to weep
and to break mine heart?” He knew the
danger, he felt the power of their loving
persuasiveness, hut he went steadfastly
on in the way of duty. "For 1 am ready
not to be bound only, hut also to die.”
Compare the beautiful legend concern
ing Peter, centering about the little
church Domine, Quo Vadis, near Rome.
"Bunyan tells us how much Christian was
discouraged by th< report of Timorous
und Mistrust about lions in the way. So
it was with Paul. On this journey to Je
rusalem he was constantly meeting with
people who said, 'Don't go.' And how
many people there are who would have
replied. 'Perhaps you are right,' and have
laid down their bundles. Never do that,
but persist in carrying your bundle to
your journey's end. in doing your duty
until it is completely done.”—Rev. W.
Wllberforce Newton, 1).D., in Sermon to
Children.
Importance of Early Training.
It take9 a long time for the beliefs
and superstitions in which men are
reared to be completely removed from
their minds. The heathen converts to
day find it hard to throw aside ail
their fear of evil spirits, ail their
dread of angry gods whom they once
worshiped. Things that seem folly
to us are very real to them, trained in
them as they have been. So, how
important the early training of chil
dren. How careful parents should be,
and teachers, and all who have chil
dren under them.

Old Age at Ceylon.
Centenarians are fairly common
nowadays, but it may be questioned
whether any country can boast of so
many as Celon, which, according to
the recent census returns, has no few
er than 145 inhabitants over 100 years
of age. Seventy-one of these are males
and seventy-four females. Of these
forty-three men and fifty-two women
claimed to be exactly 100, while the
highest age returned was 120.
Wages of Rulers.
Nicholas II, czar of all the Russlas,
works about six hours a day in con
nection with affairs of state, his salary
for that time being in the neighbor
hood of $80 a minute. The next best
paid ruler is Franz Josef of Austria
whose workday is good for about 035
per minute, just tiwce the sum Kaiser
Wilhelm draws for a stunt of similar
duration. On the basis of a six-hour
day King Edward must get along on
about $15 per minute.
Stones in the Butter.
An extraordinary local fraud has
been brought to light at the Fintona
petty sessions, County Tyrone. A
young woman named Rosa Galbraith
was fined 40s and costs for having
fraudulently prepared butter by plac

ter of the rolls. It was stated that
this practice had been carried on in
fhe district for months past, and that
pne butter merchant had to pay a

A lady speaking of how coffee af
