The
Mystery
of Mary
■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■
He is so widely known that I felt it
world be an introduction for me.”
He laid an open letter In her lap.
and. glancing down, she saw that it
was signed by the name of one of the
best known pulpit orators in the land,
and that it spoke in highest terms of
the young man whom it named as “my
well-loved friend."
“It is also your right to know that 1
have always tried to live a pure anf
honorable life. I have never told any
woman but you that I loved her—ex
cept an elderly cousin with whom I
thought I was in love when I was
nineteen. She cured me of it by
laughing at me, and I have been heart
whole ever since."
She raised her eyes from reading
the letter.
“You have all these, and I have
nothing.” She spread out her hands
helplessly. “It must seem strange tc
you that I am in this situation. It does
to me. It is awful.”
She put her hands over her eyes
and shuddered.
“It is to save you from it all that 1
have come.” He leaned over anc
spoke tenderly, “Darling !m
“Oh, wait!” She caught her breath
as if it hurt her, and put out her hanc
to stop him. “Wait! You must no.
say any more until I have told you al
about it. Perhaps when I have to)'
you, you will think about me as other
do, and I shall have to run from you. j
“Can you not trust me?” he re
proached her.
“Oh, yes, I can trust yon, but you
may no longer trust me, and that 1
cannot bear.”
“I promise you solemnly that I will
believe every word you say.”
“Ah, but you will think 1 do not
know, and that it is your duty to give
me into the hands of my enemies.”
"That I most solemnly vow I will
never do,” he said earnestly. “You
need not fear to tell me anything. But
listen, tell me this one thing: in the
eyes of God, is there any reason, phys
ical, mental, or spiritual, why you
should not become my wife?”
She looked him clearly in the eyes.
“None at all.”
“Then I am satisfied to take you
without hearing your story until after
wards."
“But I am not satisfied. If I am to
see distrust come into your eyes, it
must be now, not afterwards."
“Then tell it quickly.”
He put out his hand and took hers
firmly into his own, as if to help her
in her story.
CHAPTER X.
“My father died when I was only a
young girl. We had not much money,
and my mother’s older brother took
us to his home to live. My mother
was his youngest sister, and he loved
her more than any one else living.
There was another sister, a half-sis
ter, much older than my mother, and
she had one son. He was a sulky,
handsome boy, with a selfish, cruel
nature. He seemed to be happy only
when he was tormenting some one. He
used to come to Uncle’s to visit when
I was there, and he delighted in an
noying me. He stretched barbed wire
where he knew I was going to pass in
the dark, to throw me down and tear
my clothes. He threw a quantity of
burrs in my hair, and once he led me
into a hornet’s nest. After we went
to live at my uncle’s, Richard was not
there so much. He had displeased my
uncle, and he sent him away to
school; but at vacation times be came
again, and kept the bouse in discom
fort. He seemed always to have a
special spite against me. Once he
broke a rare Dresden vase that Uncle
prized, and told him I bad done it
Mother did not live long after Fa
ther died, and after she was gone, I
had no one to stand between me and
Richard. Sometimes I had to tell my
Uncle, but ofteuer I tried to bear It,
because I knew Richard was already a
great distress to him.
“At last Richard was expelled from
college, and Uncle was so angry with
him that he told him he would do
nothing more for him. He mast go to
work. Richard’s father and mother
had not much money, and there were
other children to support Richard
threatened me with all sorts of awful
things if I did not coax Uncle to take
him back into his good graces again.
I told him I would not say a word to
Uncle. He was very angry and swore
at me. When I tried to leave the
room he locked the door and woulo
not let me go until I screamed foi
help. Then he almost choked me. but
w’hen he heard Uncle coming he Jump
ed out of the window. The next day
he forged a check In my Uncle's name
and tried to throw suspicion on me
but he was discovered, and my uscl<
disinherited him. Uncle HmI intendeo
to educate Richard and start him we!'
in life, but now he would have nothin;.1
further to do with him. It seemed tc>
work upon my uncle's health, all the
disgrace to the family name, although
no one ever thought of my unde In
connection with blame. Aa he
Richard’s debts, it waa not known
what the boy had done, except by the
banker, who was a personal friend.
“We went abroad then, and every
where Uncle amubed himself by put
ting me under the best music masters,
and giving me all possible advantages
in languages, literature, and art.
Three years ago he died at Carlsbad,
and after his death 1 went back to my
music studies, following his wishes in
the matter, and staying with a dear
old lady in Vienna, who had been kind
to us when we were there before.
“As soon as my uncle’s death waa
known at home. Richard wrote the
most pathetic letter to me, profeesing
deep contrition, and saying he could
never TiwtIth tilmsilf tnr*Htf y«n
