A LOVE STORY BY AMELIA E. BARR
(CoprrKht, 1W0, by Amelia E. Barr)
CHAPTER XV.
"Hush! Lov® Is Her®!”
On the morning that Hyde sailed for
America, Cornelia received the let
ter he had written her on the dis
covery of Rem’s dishonorable corn
duct. So much love, so much joy,
sent to her in the secret foldings of a
sheet of paper! In a hurry of delight
and expectation she opened it, and
her beaming eyes ran all over the Joy
ful words it brought her—sweet flut
tering pages, that his breath had
moved, and his face been aware of.
How he would have rejoiced to see
her pressing them to her bosom, at
some word of fonder memory or de
sire.
In the afternoon, when the shopping
for the day had been accomplished,
Cornelia went to Capt. Jacobus, to
play with him the game of backgam
mon which had become an almost
daily duty, and to which the captain
attached a great importance. “I owe
your daughter as much as I owe you,
sir," he would say to Doctor Moran,
“and I owe both of you a bigger debt
than I can clear myself of.”
This afternoon he looked at his vic
itor with a wondering speculation.
There was something in her face and
manner and voice he had never before
seen or heard, and madame—who
watched every expression of her hus
band—was easily led to the same ob
servation. She observed Cornelia
closoly, and her gay laugh especially
revealed some change. It was like
the burst of bird song in early spring
and she followed the happy girl to the
front door and called her back when
she had gone down the steps, and
said, as she looked earnestly in her
face:
“You have heard from Joris Hyde?
I know you have!” ar.d Cornelia nod
ded her head, and blushed and smiled,
and ran away from further question.
When she reached home she found
Madame Van Heemskirk sitting with
her mother, and the sweet old lady
rose to meet her, and said before Cor
nelia could utter a word:
uome to me, uorncna. inis morn
ing a letter we have had trom my
Joris, and sorry am I that I did thee
bo much wrong.”
“Madame, I have long forgotten It,
and there was a mistake all round,”
answered Cornelia cheerfully.
“That is bo—and thy mistake first
| of all. Hurry is misfortune; even to
be happy, it is not wise to hurry. Lis
ten now! Joris has written to his
grandfather, and also to me, and very
busy will he keep us both. His grand
father Is to look after the stables, and
to buy more horses, and to hire serv
ing men of all kinds. And a long let
ter also I have .from my daughter
Katherine, and she tells me to make
her duty to thee my duty. That is my
pleasure also, and I have been talk
ing with thy mother about the house.
Now I shall go there, and a very pleas
ant home I shall make it.”
Then Cornelia kissed madame, and
afterwards removed her bonnet, and
madame looked at her smiling.
For nearly a week Cornelia was too
busy to take Arenta into her con
sideration. She did not care to tell
her about Rem's cruel and dishonor
She seized and read it.
able conduct, and she wa3 afraid the
shrewd little Marquise would divine
some change, and get the secret out
of her.
After a week had elapsed Cornelia
went over one morning to see her
friend. But by this time Arenta knew
everything. Her brother Rem had
been with her and confessed all to his
sister. She heard the story with In
dignation, but contrived to feel that
somehow that Rem was not so much
to blame as Cornelia, and other people.
“You art right served," she said
to her brother, “for meddling with for
eigners, and especially for mixing
i your love affairs up with an English
i girl. Proud, haughty creatures all
I of them! And you are a very fool to
j tell any woman such g—crime. Yes,
i It is a crime. I won’t say less. That
| girl over the way nearly died, and you
would have let her die. It was a
j 3hame. I don't love Cornelia—but it
I was a shame.”
“The letter was addressed to me,
, Arenta?"
j “Fiddles ,1cks! You knew it was not
yours: You knew it was Hyde's.
Where is It now?**
She asked the question in her usual
^jminant way, and Rem did not feel
4>le to resist It. He opened his pocket
book and from a receptacle in it, took
the fateful letter. She seized and read
It, and then without a word, or a mo
ment's hesitation threw it Into the
fire.
Rem blustered and fumed, and she
stood smiling defiantly at him. “You
are like all criminals,’’ sne said, “you
must keep something to accuse your
self with. 1 love you too well to per
mit you to carry that bit of paper
about you. It has worked you harm
enough. What are you going to do?
Is Miss Darner's refusal quite final?’’
“Quite. It was even scornful.”
"Plenty of nice girls in Boston.”
"I cannot go back to Boston.”
“Why then?”
"Because Mery’s cousin has told
the whole affair."
“Nonsense! ”
"She has. I know’ it. Men, whom
I had been friendly with, got out of
my way; women excused themselves
at their homes, and did not see me on
the streets. I have no doubt all Bos
ton is talking of the aliair.”
“Go away as soon as you can. I
don't want to know where you go just
yet. New York is impossible, and Bos
ton is impossible. Father says go to
the frontier, I say go South. And I
would let women alone—they are be
yond you—go in for politics.”
That day Rem lingered with his
sister, seeing uo one else; and in the
evening shadows he slipped quietly
away. He felt that his business ef
forts for two years were forfeited, and
that he had the world to begin over
again. Without a friend to wish him
a Godspeed the wretched man went
on board the Southern packet, and in
her dim lonely cabin sat silent and
despondent, while she fought her way
through swaying curtains of rain to
the open sea.
This Budden destruction of all her
hopes for hor orother distressed
Arenta. Her own marriage had been
a most unfortunate one. but its misfor
tunes had the importance of national
tragedy. Rem’s matrimonial failure
had not one redeeming quality; it
was altogether a shameful and well
deserved retribution.
But the heart of her anger was Cor
nelia—“but for that girl," Rem would
have married Mary Damer, and his
home in Boston might have been full
of opportunities for her, as well as a
desirable change when she wearied of
New York.
When Cornelia entered the Van
Ariens parlor Arenta was already
there. She looked offended, and hard
ly spoke to ner old friend, but Cor
nelia was prepared for some exhibi
tion of anger. She had not been to
see Arenta for a whole week, and she
did not doubt she had been well aware
of something unusual ia progress.
But that Rem had accused himself did
not occur to her; therefore she was
hardly prepared for the passionate
accussations with which Arenta as
sailed her.
“I think,” she said, “you have be
haved disgracefully to poor Rem!
You would not have him yourself, and
yet you prevent another girl—whom
he loves far better than he ever loved
you—from marrying him. He has
gone away 'out of the world,’ he says,
and Indeed I should not wonder if he
kills himself. It is most certain you
have done all you can to drive him
to it.”
“Arenta! I have no idea what you
mean. I have not seen Rem, nor writ
ten to Rem, for more than two years.”
“Very likely, but you have written
about him. You wrote to Miss Damer
and told her Rem purposely kept a
letter, which you had sent to Lord
Hyde.”
“I did not write to Miss Damer. I
do not know the lady. But Rem did
keep a letter that belonged to Lord
Hyde.”
Then anger gave falsehood the bit
and she answered, “Rem did not keep
any letter that belonged to Lord Hyde.
Prove that he did so, before you ac
cuse him. You cannot.”
I unrortunately directed Lord
Hyde’s letter to Rem, and Rem's letter
to Lord Hyde. Rem knew that he had
Ixjrd Hyde’s letter, and he should
have taken it at once to him.”
•'Lord Hyde had Rem’s letter; he
ought to have taken it at once to
Rem.”
“There was not a word In Rem’s let
ter to identify it as belonging to him.”
“Then you ought to be ashamed to
write love letters that would do for
any man that received them. A poor
hand you must be to blunder over two
love letters. I have had eight and ten
at once to answer, and I never failed
to distinguish each, and while rivers
run into the sea I never shall mis
direct my love letters. Very clever is
Lord Hyde to excuse himself by throw
ing the blame on poor Rem. Very
mean indeed to accuse him to the girl
he was going to marry.”
“Arenta, 1 have the most firm con
viction of Rem’s guilt, and the great
est concern for his disappointment. I
assure you I have.”
“Kindly reserve your concern, Miss
Moran, till Rem Van Ariens asks for
it. As for his guilt, there is no guilt
in question. Even supposeg that Rem
did keep Lord Hyde’s letter, what
then? All things are lair in love and
war. Willie Nicliolls told me last
night that he would keep a hundred
letters, .if he thought he could win
me by doing so. Any man of sense
would.”
“All I blame Rem for is—’”
“All I blame Rem for is. that he
asked y^u to marry him. So much for
that! I hope if he meddles with wom
en again, he will seek an all-round
common-sense Dutch girl, who will
know how to direct her letters—or
else be content with one lover.”
‘‘Arenta, I shall go now. I have
given you an opportunity to be rude
and unkind. You cannot expect me
to do that again."
Arenta watched Cornelia across the
street, and then turned to the mirror
and wound her ringlets over her lin
gers. “I don’t care," she muttered.
“It was her fault to begin with. She
tempted Rem, and he fell. Men
always fall when women tempt, them;
it is their nature to. 1 am going to
stand by Rem, right or wrong.”
To such thoughts she was raging
when Peter Van Ariens came home to
dinner, and she could not restrain
them. He listened for a minute or
two, and then struck the table no
gentle blow.
“In my bouse, Arenta,” he said, "I
will have no such words. What you
think, you think; but such thoughts
must be shut close in your mind. In
keeping that letter, I say Rem be
haved like a scoundrel; he was cruel,
and he was a coward. Because he
is my son I will not excuse him. No
indeed! For that very season, the
more ar.gry am I at such a deed. Now
“You have behaved disgracefully."
then, he shall acknowledge to George
Hyde and Cornelia Moran the wrong
he did them, ere in my home and my
heart he rights nfmself.”
“Is Cornelia going to bo married?”
“That is w'hat I hear.”
“To Lord Hyde?”
“That also, is what I hear.”
“Well, as I am in mourning I can
not go to the wedding, so then I am
delighted to have told her a little of
my mind.”
"It is a great marriage for the Doc
tor's daughter; a countess she will
be.”
“And a marquise I am. And will
you please say, if either countess or
marquise is better than mistress or
madam? Thank all the powers that
be! I have learned the value of a
title, and I shall change marquise for
mistress, as soon as I can do so.”
“If always you had thought thus, a
great deal of sorrow we had both been
spared.”
“Well, then, a girl cannot get her
share of wisdom till she comes to It
Xtter all, I am now sorry I have quar
reled with Cornelia. In New York and
Philadelphia she will be a great
woman.
“To take offense is a great folly,
and to give offense is a great folly—l
know not which is the greater,
Arenta.”
“Oh, indeed, father ,” she answered,
‘If I am hurt and angry, I shall take
the liberty to say so. Anger that is
hidden cannot be gratified, and if peo
ple use me badly, it is my way to
tell them I am aware of it. One may
be obliged to eat brown bread, but I,
for one, will say it is brown bread,
and not white.”

BARRYMORE NOT ON SHOW.
Famous Actor’s Cutting Rebuke to
Group of Club Men.
The real bohemian does not wish
to be put on show for the delectation
of persons who do not understand
him. There is a story told of Mau
rice Barrymore which illustrates this
point. Entering the famous bohemian
club in New York one night, he found
a lot of commercial men in full pos
session. They greeted ‘‘Barry” ef
fusively. He had hardly got himself
‘‘fairly sat” when one of them slap
ped him on the back and said: “Bar
*y, speak us a piece.” Then a chorus
said: “Yes, get funny, old man; cut
up. We’ve all heard that you were a
great entertainer.” Barry glared
around for a moment and then said,
quietly: “I’ll do a handspring for
you, gentlemen, but I can’t speak a
piece.” Then he reached through the
silence and picked his hat off thf
hook. That was the last time hi
entered the club.
Southern Strawberry Picking.
Norfolk, Va., men shipped north In
one day recently 12,200 crates of
strawberries, or about 732,000 quarts.
The season was at its hlght last week,
and some of the growers in the vicin
ity had between 300 and 400 negro
pickers at work. They begin at day
break and earn from $1 to $1.25 a day
in wages. The average yield this sea
son is about 2,500 quarts to the acre.
The crop in that section is about 20
per cent short, but the berries are
better than usual. The negroes do
not pick the berries one at a time, but
grab handfuls. A plantation owner
said that his workers from a distance
looked like a gigantic flock of black
birds.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LES80N I., JULY 5—ISRAEL ASK
ING FOR A KING.
Golden Text—"Prepare Your Hearta
Unto the Lord, and Serve Him Only"
—I Samuel 7:3—Review of the His
tory of Israel Under Samuel.
I. "The Books of Samuel.’’—Division.
Originally, the two Books of Samuel were
undivided, as were the two Books of
Kings. They are called "the Books ot
Samuel” because of his prominence in
the history, though a late Jewish tradi
tion says that the prophet himself wrote
those portions that fall within his life
time.
II. "Samuel, the Last Great Judge.”—
His Task. Under the Judges the people
had declined in virtue and power. The
rule of the unseen God seemed too spirit
ual for the nation's apprehension. Sam
uel was raised up, to be the leader of the
Hebrews in their transition to a form of
government like that of the nations
around them.
Early History. Samuel was born, prob
ably, B. C. 1149, and died at the age of
ninety, about four years before Saul,
III. "Why the People Wanted a King:
False Pretexts.”—Vs. 1-5. At tho tlmo
considered in our lesson, the nation was
in a sad plight. About twenty years be
fore, Samuel had broken the yoke of
Philistine oppression by a great, God
given victory at Mizpeh, and gave place
and order to the land through all the
years of his Judgeship; but the Infirmi
ties of age had compelled him to hand
over to his sons the active management
of affairs, and they had proved entirely
unworthy.
1. ‘\\ hen Samuel was old." He was
about sixty years old. “He made his
sons judges.” "They were simply to sup
port their father In the administration of
Justice.”—Kell.
“They were Judges In Beer-sheba,” hav
ing authority In the south, while Samuel
probably still ruled in the north.
3. “And his sons walked not In his
ways, but turned aside after lucre,"
"filthy lucre." money wrongfully ob
tained. "And took bribes.” Samuel, liv
ing at a distance, may not have known
of his sons’ misconduct, and he was not
lax with them, but deposed them from
office; so that he was not punished as
Eli was.
4. "Then all the elders of Israel came
to Samuel, unto Ramah." Samuel’s home.
The people now proceed to urge three
reasons why they should have a king.
First Reason. 5. "Behold, thou art
old."
Second Reason. "And thy sons walk
not !n thy ways. Now make us a king.”
That Is, appoint one. Doubtless the eld
ers had In mind Moses' prophecy of the
kingdom In Deut. 17; 14-20, and desired
Its fulfillment. "To judge tjs.” That Is,
not merely to settle disputes, but to rule
over them.
Third Reason. "Like all the nations.”
Not such a king as those of other na
tions, but as the other nations had kings,
so they desired one.
IV. "Why the People Wanted a King;
the True Reason.”—Vs. 6-9. God now'
shows the sorrowing prophet that the
pretexts for the people’s request are
false, their action being prompted by
restlessness under the divine rule, and a
desire to plunge into worldliness and
idolatry.
6. “The thing displeased Samuel, when
they said, ’Give us a king to Judge us.’ ”
Why was the request an evil one, since
it had been prophesied that the nation
should become a kingdom (Gen. 17: 6; 35:
11; Deut. 17:14-20)? Because the people
should have waited for God’s time, or
merely asked Samuel if that time had
not come. It was evil also because it
was prompted by wrong motives, the de
sire for Imitation, and. perhaps, the wish
for easier requirements than the stern
morality' which the judges had required
as the cpndition of their success. “And
Samuel prayed unto the Lord.”
7. “And the Lord said unto Samuel.”
God's reply Is very tender toward his
aged servant, and very sad In Its reluc
tant abandonment of God’s high hope for
his people. "Hearken unto the voice of
the people in all that they say unto thee,
for they have not rejected thee, but they
have rejected me.”
8. “Now therefore hearken unto their
voice; howbeit yet protest solemnly unto
them.” God would give them one more
chance to choose the best. “And shew
them the manner of the king.” "The
method of the king.—that is, his custom
ary behavior.H. P. Smith.
V. "The Request Granted and the Re
sults Prophesied.”—V. 10. and to the end
of the chapter. God did not Intend to
compel the Israelles to accept his rule,
any more than he compels us. But his
love for them was so great that he would
not allow them to plunge into worldliness
and idolatry without a warning.
10. “And Samuel told all the words of
the Lord unto the people." That is, to
the elders, the representatives of the peo
ple, who would pass the message on to
the nation. Samuel had only to look nt
neighboring nations to learn the prob
able fortunes of the Hebrews under a
king. In fine, Samuel prophesied that
the nation would be reduced to practical
slavery by thetr greatly desired kings,—
a prediction amply verified by later his
tory. They would pray to be delivered
from their tyrants In that day, and they
would be unable to escape from their
self-imposed bondage.
me warning Rejected. With these sol
emn prophecies ringing in their ears, the
elders refused to turn from their mad
purpose. They Insisted on a king; they
must be like other nations. And so the
Lord bade Samuel promise them the ful
fillment of their desire, and with this
promise the aged prophet dismissed the
assembly, sending the elders home to
their respective towns, knowing that
God’s permission was a punishment.—
Wordsworth.
The Lessons for Us. First Lesson. We,
like the Israelites, often pray foolish
prayers. Our prayers are foolish: (1)
Whenever they do put God’s will first.
(2) Whenever they are more for ourselves
than others. (3) Whenever they look to
the present and forget the future. (4)
Whenever they are not based on God’s
promises, but on our own untaught de
sires. It Is one of the greatest arts of
life to learn to ask the right things from
God, in the right way.
Second Lesson. God requires our su
preme allegiance. "Ye cannot serve God
and mammon." God is not satisfied with
half our lives devoted to him and half to
worldly ambitions, miserly greed, servile
imitation of others, and self-seeking. All
good things are added to the life that
chooses God first. All good things fall
away from the life that refuses that
choice. God or the world—which shaj
rule over you?
Cheerful Living.
Since cheerful living Is a light, the
time of darkness Is its opportunity of
shining. To be happy in life’s happy
days is as easy as breathing. The
opportunity of help comes in with
trouble, sorrow, loss. And it comes
most, perhaps, with pretty troubles.
To be cheerful when It is easy to be
vexed or sad is to win a victory for .
Christ and hold a light for men. One !
lamp in the city’s glow counts little;
but how men in the darkness of the
wood follow one lamp that shows the
way towards home and peace! |

BRAIN BUILDING.
How to Feed Nervous Case*.
Hysteria sometimes leads to Insanity
and Bhould be treated through feeding
the brain and nerves upon scientific
ally selected food that restores the
lost delicate gray matter. Proof of the
power of the brain food Grape-Nuts it
remarkably strong.
“About eight years ago when work
ing very hard as a court stenographer
I collapsed physically and then nerv
ously and was taken to the State Hos
pital for the insane at Lincoln, Neb., a
raving maniac.
“They had to keep me in a strait
jacket, and I was kept in the worst
ward for three months. I was finally
dismissed in the following May, but
did no brain work for years until last
fall, when I was persuaded to take the
testimony in two cases. One of these
was a mnrder case, and the strain
upon my nervous system was so great
that I would have broken down again
except for the strength I bad build up
by the use of Grape-Nuts. When I
began to feel the pressure of the work
on my brain and nerves I simply in
creased the amount of Grape Nuts,
and used the food more regularly.
“I now feel like my old self again
and am healthy and happy. I am suro
that if I had known of Grape-Nuts
when I had my trouble eight years ago
I would never have collapsed and this
dark 6pot in my life would never have
happened. Grape-Nuts’ power as a
brain food is simply wonderful, and I
do not believe any stomach is so weak
that it cannot digest this wonderful
food. I feel a delicacy about having
my name appear in public, but if you
think it would help any poor sufferer
you can use it.” Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There are desserts and desserts. The
delicious, health-giving kind are told
about in the little recipe book found
in each package of Grape-Nuts.
