CHAPTER IV Continued
There was something so frank and
persuasive about the elegant stranger
that Joris could not refuse the cour
tesy she asked for herself and her
nephew And having yielded he
yielded with entire truth and confi
dence
Elder Semple was greatly pleased
at his friends complaisance He gave
Joris full credit for his victory over
his national prejudice and he did his
very best to make the concession a
pleasant event In this effort he was
greatly assisted by Mrs Gordon fane
set herself to charm Van Heemskirk
as she had set herself to charm Ma
dam Van Heemskirk on her previous
visit and she succeeded so well that
when Sir Roger de Coverley was
called Joris rose offered her his hand
and to the delight of every one pres
ent led the dance with her
It was a little triumph for the elder
Indeed he was so interested in listen
ing to the clever way in which the
bonnie woman flattered Van Heems
kirk that he was quite oblivious of
the gathering wrath in his sons face
and the watchful gloom in Brams
eyes as the two men stood together
jealously observant of Capt Hydes
attentions to Katherine Without any
words spoken on the subject there
was an understood compact between
them to guard the girl from any pri
vate conversation with him and yet
two men with hearts full of suspicion
and jealousy were not a match for one
man with a heart full of love In a
moment in the interchange of their
hands in a dance Katherine clasped
tightly a little note and unobserved
hid it -behind the rose at her breast
The loving girl thought it no wrong
to put it there she even hoped that
some kind of blessing or sanction
might come through such sacred keep
ing and she went to sleep whispering
to herself
Happy I am Me he loves me he
loves me only he loves me forever
he loves
CHAPTER V
The Beginning of Strife
My dear Dick I am exceedingly
concerned to find you in such a tak
ing moping about a Dutch school
girl Pshaw I had a much better
opinion of you
I know I love her beyond every
thing and that I am likely so to love
her all my life
Upon my word Dick love may
Jive an age if you dont marry it
Let me make you understand that
wish to marry it
Oh indeed sir Then the church
door stands open Go in I suppose
the lady will oblige you so far
Pray dear aunt give me your ad
vice What is the first step to be
taken
Go and talk with her father The
girl you think worth asking for but
it is very necessary for you to know
what fortune goes with her beauty
If her father refuses to give her
to me
That is not to he thought of You
come of a noble race You are not
far from the heritage of a great title
and estate If you ask for her for
tune you offer far above its equiva
lent sir
Well this suspense is intolerable
and not to be borne I will go and
end it Give me your good wishes
I shall be impatient to hear the re
sult
At Van Heemskirks store Capt
Hyde asked for the councillor and
was taken to his office
Your servant captain Is there
any thing I can oblige you in sir
Joris asked the question because
the manner of the young man strucK
him as uneasy and constrained and
he thought Perhaps he has come to
borrow money He was not there
fore astonished when Capt Hyde
answered
Sir you can indeed oblige me
and that in a matter of the greatest
moment
If money it be captain at once 1
may tell you that I borrow not and I
lend not
Sir it is not money in particu
lar
So
It is your daughter Katherine
Then Joris stood up and looked
steadily at the suitor His large
amiable face had become in a mo
ment hard and stern and the light
in his eyes was like the cold sharp
light that falls from drawn steel
My daughter is not for you to
name Sir it is a wrong to her if
you speak her name Like to like
that is what I say Your wife seek
captain among your own women My
daughter is to another man prom
ised
Look you councillor that would
be monstrous Your daughter loves
me
Joris turned white to the lips It
is not the truth he answered in a
slow husky voice
By the sun in heaven it is truth
Ask her
Then a great scoundrel are you
unfit with honest men to talk Ho
Yes your sword pull from its scab
bard Strike To the heart strike
me Less wicked would be the deed
than the thing you have done
There was something very impres
sive in the angry sorrow of Joris Yet
Kyde persevered in his solicitation

A ROMANCE OF NEW YORJC
By AMELIA E BARR
Author ef Friend Olivia I Thou and the Othr One Etc
Copyright 1ES0 by Dodd Head and Company
Do but hoar me sir I have done
nothing contrary to the custom of
people in my condition and I assure
you that with all my soul I love your
daughter No man can love her bet
ter
What say you How then do I
love her I who carried her mijn
witte lammetje in these arms before
yet she could say to me Fader
His wrath had been steadily growing
and suddenly striking the desk a pon
derous blow with his closed hand he
said with an unmistakable passion
My daughter you shall not have God
in heaven to himself take her ere
such sorrow come to her and me
Sir you are very uncivil but to be
plain with you I am determined to
marry your daughter if I can compass
the matter in any way It is now
then open war between us and so
Bir your servant
Stay To me listen Not one
guilder will I give to my daughter
if
To the devil with your guilders
Dirty money made In dirty traffic
You He
Sir you take an infamous advan
tage You know that being Kather
ines father I will not challenge you
Christus roared Joris chal
lenge me one hundred times A fool
I would be to answer you Life my
God gave to me Well then only
my God shall from me take it See
you these arms and hands In them
you will be as the child of one year
Ere beyond my reason you move me
go and he strode to the door and
flung it open with a passion that made
every one in the store straighten
towards the two men
White with rage and with his hand
upon his sword hilt Capt Hyde
stamped his way through the crowded
store to the dusty street Then it
struck him that he had not asked the
name of the man to whom Katherine
was promised He swore at himself
for the omission Whether he knew
him or not he was determined to
fight him Now he must see Kathe
rine before her father had any oppor
tunity to give any orders regarding
him
In the meantime Joris was suffering
as only such deep natures can suffer
Capt Hydes proposal and his posi
tive assertion that Katherine loved
him had fallen upon the fathers
heart with the force of a blow and
the terror of a shock
After Hydes departure he shut
the door of his office walked to the
window and stood there some min
utes clasping and unclasping his
large hands like a man full of grief
and perplexity Ere long he remem
bered his friend Semple This trou
ble concerned him also for Capt
Hyde was in a manner his guest
and if he were informed of the mar
riage arranged between Katherine
and Neil Semple he would doubtless
feel himself bound in honor to retire
Joris found Semple and in a few
short strong sentences put the case
before him
My certie When girls are auld
enough for a lover they are a match
for any gray head Im thankfu man
that I wasna put in charge o any o
them I shall hae to speak my mind
to Niel and likewise to Col Gordon
and you canna put off your duty to
your daughter an hour longer Dear
me To think Joris o a man be
ing able to sit wi the councillors o the
nation and yet no match for a lassie
o seventeen
As they walked homeward the elder
talked and Joris pondered not what
was said but the thoughts and pur
poses that were slowly forming in his
own mind
When the evening meal was over
Joris rose and laying his hand on
Katherines shoulder said There is
something to talk about Sit down
Lysbet the door shut close and lis
ten to me
It was impossible to mistake the
stern purpose on her husbands face
and Lysbet silently obeyed the order
Katherine Ratrijntje mijn kind
this afternoon there comes to the store
the young man Capt Hyde To thy
father he said many ill words To
him thou shalt never speak again
Thy promise give to me
She sat silent with dropped eyes
and cheeks as red as the pomegranate
flower at her breast
Mijn kind speak to me
Weeping bitterly she rose and went
to her mother and laid her head upon
Lysbets shoulder
Look now Joris One must know
the why and the wherefore What
mean you Whish mijn kindje
This I mean Lysbet No more
meetings with the Englishman will I
have No love secrets will I bear
Danger is with them yes and sin too
Mijn kindje listen to me thy father
It is for thy happy life here it is for
thy eternal life -I speak to thee This
man for whom thou art weeping is
not good for thee Mijn beste kinje
do I love thee
My father
Do I love thee
Yes yes
Dost thou then love me
She put her arms round his neck
and laid her cheek against his and
kissed him many times
Wilt thou ga away and leave me
and leave thy mother in our old age
Katrijntje my dear dear child what
for me and for thy mother wilt thou
do
Thy wish if I can
Then ho told hor of tho provision
made for her future Ho reminded
her of Neils long affection and add
ed To morrow about thy own house
I will take tho first step Near my
house 1 Bhall be and at the feast of
St Nicholas thou shalt be married
And money plenty of money I will
give thee and all that is proper thy
mother and theo shall buy But no
more no more at all shalt thou see or
Bpeak to that bad man who has so
beguiled thee Wilt thou these things
promise me Mo and thy mother
Richard I must see once more
That is what I ask
Richard So far is it Well then
I will as easy make It as I can Once
more and for one hour thou may see
him But I lay it on thee to tell him
the truth for this and for all other
time
Now may I go He Is anigh His
boat I hear at the landing and she
stood up intent hastening with her
fair head lifted and her wet eyes fixed
on the distance
Well be it so Go
With the words she slipped from
the room and Joris called Baltu to
bring him some hot coals and began
to fill his pipe As the Virginia calmed
and soothed him the sweetness of his
nature was at once in the ascendant
and he said Lysbet come then and
talk with me about the child
She turned the keys In her press
slowly and stood by it with them in
her hand What has been told thee
Joris to day And who has spoken
Tongues evil and envious I am sure
of that
Thou art wrong The young man
to me spoke himself He said I love
your daughter I want to marry her
Well then he did no wrong And
as for Katrijntje it is in nature that
a young girl should want a lover It
is in nature she should choose the
one she likes best That is what I
say
Ye it is in nature the child should
want this handsome stranger but
with me thou wilt certainly say He
is not fit for thy happiness he has
not the true faith he gambles he
fights duels he is a waster he lives
badly he will take thee far from thy
own people and thy own home
She drew close to him and laid her
arm across his broad shoulders and
he took his pipe from his lips and
turned his face to her Kind and
wise art thou my husband and what
ever is thy wish that is my wish
too
Right am I and I know I am right
And I think that Neil Semple will be
a very great person On the judges
bench he will sit down yet
A good young man he may be but
he is a very bad lover that is tne
truth If a little less wise he could
only be A young girl likes some fool
ish talk Little fond words very
strong they are Thou thyself said
them to me
That is right To Nei I will talk
a little A man must seek a good wife
with more heart than he seeks gold
Yes yes her price above rubies is
At the very moment Joris made
this remark the elder was speaking
for him Neil was walking about the
terrace and he joined him
You are stepping in a vera majestic
way Neil whats in your thoughts I
wonder
I have a speech to make to morrow
sir My thoughts were on the law
which has a certain majesty of its
own
Youd better be thinking o a
speech you ought to make to night if
you care aboot saving yoursel wi
Katherine Van Heemskirk You hae
a rival sir Capt Hyde asked Van
Heemskirk for his daughter this af
ternoon and an earldom in prospect
isna a poor bait Tak a word o ad
vice now You are fond enough to
plead for others go and plead an hour
for yoursel Certie When I was
your age I was aye noted for my per
suading way Your father sir never
left a spare corner for a rival
To be continued
Lawyer and Witness
A certain Mr H was a sharp law
yer and invariably retained in crim
inal cases where his peculiar abilities
were deemed likely to benefit his
client writes a contributor to the
Weekly Bouquet Old Mrs L the
widow of a small farmer was remark
able for her plainness in speech and
manner and she was one of the cute
sort The old woman was an import
ant witness for the prosecution in
which H defended the evil doer Her
testimony bore hard upon the pris
oner and in the cross examination
H endeavered in vain to confuse or
iiritate her
At length turning abruptly to the
witness he exclaimed Madam you
have brass enough in your face to
make a twelve quart pai
Yes replied the witness and you
have got sass enough in your head
to fill it
The lawyer had done with that wit
ness
It Stopped the Gambling
A good story is told of a certain
colonel in connection with an inspec
tion of a crack rifle corps which he
commanded
The inspection passed off satisfac
torily there were no complaints
and the regiment was evidently in
good order
But said the inspecting general
I am bound to tell you colonel that
rumors have reached me of gambling
being carried on extensively among
your officers
That may have been the case sir
said the colonel some months ago
but I can assure you that nothing of
the kind is in vogue now because Ive
won all the ready money in the regi
ment and I would not allow any
gambling on credit

ating 50000 to defray the expenses
of the strike commission and then ad
journed until Friday when the Lon
don dock charge bill will be consid
ered
There were two hours discussion on
the commission bill in wvhlch tho
presidents action was highly com
mended except by Mr Burton Mo
who contended that tho commission
was created without authority of law
and constitution
There wa3 some criticism of tho
clause allowing double salaries to
members of the commission now in
government employ and also of that
leaving the amount of compensation
of members to the president But all
amendments were voted down The
bill was passed without division
The speaker announced the ap
pointment of the following commit
tees
To Visit the Naval Academy
Messrs Watson IndA daui3 Pa
and Clark Mo
To Visit the Military Academy
Messrs Hull la Steele Pa and
DeArmond Mo
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole Mr Grosevnor O
in the chair and took up the coal
strike commission bill
Before the discussion began Mr
Gaines Tenn stated that he decided
to offer an amendment The chair
having ruled that amendments wero
not in order at this time Mr Can
non in charge of the bill agreed that
the amendment should be read for
information It proposed to place an
thracite on the free list
Mr Burton Mo a member of the
appropriations committee to whom
Mr Cannon yielded declared that he
could not support the bill The pres
ident he said had no legal authority
to create the commission and the bill
besides placed 50000 in the presi
dent shands without any limitation
Mr Livingston Ga and Under
wood Ala supported the bill al
though they agreed that the presi
dents action was irregular
Mr Bailey Ga said the president
had acted patriotically Mr Cochran
Mo Mr Feeley III Mr Gaines
Tenn and Mr Maddox Ga en
dorsed the act of the president
Mr Hemenway Ind and Mr Lac
ey la warmly defended the comse
of the president the latter character
izing it as one of the boldest act3
in the history of the executive
Mr McDermot N J pointed out
that the strike commission had no
power behind it He thought it should
be given power to make an investi
gation and report its findings to con
gress
Mr Cannon III argued that the
bill should pass in the form in which
it was presented If the presidents
action had been without authority o
law or constitution it had been taken
in response to an overwhelming pub
lic sentiment
The bill passed without division
