HARLEY'S ' CARRIAGE.
CHAFTF.ll I.
it was blowing ft strong noutliwislor
one November morning in 103 , as I
landodnt Long wlintf , San. Francisco ,
from the atoreship lying out in the
atroam , of which I th'jn Imd charge. I
had not proceeded r/iany steps towwd
Montgomery stroll , the principal bus
iness thoroughfare ot the city , when n
heavy hand wns laid on my shoulder ,
and I rocogviircd the cheery voice of
C John Har\oy , the most intinmto friend
3 had made slnco my arrival in Cali
fornia some sixteen monllia before ,
"Tho very man , Ingram , that I
wanted to sco. I only nrrivod from
"Stockton an hour ago , mid was just
coming off to your old tub to bring
jou on shore } for I vra.nl your advice
nnd assistance , and that immediately.
The bark Albert Allen is to bo sold at
auction to-day at 1 o'clock , and as I
Jicar she is a fine vessel , I wish you to
como and look at horj nnd if you
think well of it I will bid up to a rca
uonablo figure , moro particularly if
you will take command of her and
take again to the high seas instead 6f
ing yourself in a storoship. "
"Von buy a ship , Harley ? Surely ,
with your mining claims and city lots ,
you must liavo quite enough on your
" hands , " said I , in Bomo surprise.
"I have nothing of the sort ; for I
have sold out everything but the ca
boose nnd Jot in Happy Valley , which ,
in consideration of the sum of $1 tome
mo in hand paid , I shall bargain , sell
and convey to Mrs. Sullivan , who
nursed mo so well some months ago.
Her husband , you know , was shot in
a gambling house , and slio is loft with
three children ; though , by the way , I
think she is bettor without him , the
reckless , 'drunken follow ! Come , I
want Bonio breakfast , and then Wo' will
go and look at the vessel , and I'll toll
you all my plans. "
John Harley was an Englishman of
independent moans. His father being
n wealthy mail , who had no other
child , had on his coining of ago Bottled
a liberal income upon him. While
making a tour of the United States.
curiosity and a love of now scenes and
adventures had drawn Harley to the
Far West El Dorado , without any no
tion then of gain. Catching , however
the universal fever of enterprise raging
around him , ho had pecuniarily in
terested himself in several under
takings.
Harley had made the acquaintance
of Herr Van Duson. a Dutch machant
from Batavia , the chief town of the
island of Java , who had como thence
in n vessel of his own. Ho was ac
companied by his niece , the daughter
of his brother and partner , a sea voyage -
ago having boon recommended for hur
by her medical advisers. Two months
of their society had proved auflicicnt
to sottln the matter so far as John
Harley Was concerned ; and the young
lady on her departure for homo had
taken John's dnguorrootypo and a
piece of hia hair inclosed in a gold
locket as a souvenir of her English
lover. The uncle would hoar of no
engagement without her mother's cou-
sent ; but Harley had promised , as
soon as , ho could -wind up his Cali
fornia interests , to' follow them to
Batavia and endeavor to obtain that
consent.
All this ho related to mo at break
fast , and a great deal moro which ia
not worth repeating , lovers' rhapso-
dics being really interesting only to
.themselves , 1 learned , howovorfrom
hm | that Miss Yan Duson'a mother
, was an Englishwoman , wnoHo bus
band having retired from the com
mand of the famous Duch East In-
'dinmon line , had become n merchant
in Batavia , and had there died , leav
ing a widow and this ono daughter.
At the time of which I write , Eng
lish shins in California wore very
frequently sold at extremely low
prices. Deserted by their crows , and
, -not unfrequcntly by their captains
also , the ships wcro sacrificed of ton for
less than one-third their value , when
nold nt BhorifTs sale , to defray the in
dobtodncss incurred since their arri
val , Availing himself of these cir
cumstances , Ilarloy desired to make
something out of his trip to Batavia ,
the moro BO as there was no other way
of { jotting thither withqut tedious and
trying delay. After our inspection ,
. ho purchased the ship at the auction
for n sum equivalent to about ono
thousand pounds.
Of our passage , as being without
any noteworthy incident , it is enough
to aay that , with remarkably line
weather it was pleasant till almost
the last day ; that it was rapid , from
favorable winds and a fast vessel in
excellent sailing trim , and that on the
thirty-ninth day we anchored in Sin
gapore roads. Within two days of
our arrival at Singapore a tolerably
good character was obtained for the
Albert Allen to proceed to Java and
return ; which would probably take
about two months. Our charterer , a
hrowd Portuguese trader there , put a
euporcargo aboard to look after his
interests ; and as ho was urgent for
our departure , and as Ilarloy was not
less so , on the sixth day from our
dropping our anchor wo again weighed
and Bailed for Batavia , where after a
somewhat prolonged passage wo safely
arrived.
The anchor had hardly reached the
bottom era Harley would have shoved
o trin a shore-boat for the landing ,
but that I had to chock him till the
usual shore regulations had boon com
plied with , a broach of which would
Jiavo involved him in great trouble
and expense. A full hour and a half
was lie fuming and fretting before , all
the forms having been gone through ,
he loft ui , waving his hat , and urging
the boatmen to renewed exertions , in
hi * haste to get to Air. Van Duson's
office * .
Everything eeemod so far to favor
HarloyTfl hopes. Mr , Von Duson took
him home with him some miles from
the town : and the eamo evening ho
was made acquainted with Miss
Susetto Van Dusen'a mother , This
was on the Mendayand ; onthoThurs-
day I w&s to sail for Surabaya in the
Albert Allen , to got her cargo , and
, would touch at Batavjft on my return
voyage to Singapore. - In view of my
f apeedy depature , the next morning 1
received an invitation to dine with
3Ir. Vaii Duaen on the following day ,
TA -
which tt.ia of corjraa 0nt out ot com
plimcnt to IlP.rlrjy , vholiad mention
ed mo ns a inr l mtimulo friend.
At Mr. VAU DuscnV ) 1 met his sis
tor-in-law , Mrs. Van Duson , and lior
daughter , nd cortntnly n moro charm *
"B gi.fl it had seldom boon my lot to
co. Hftrfoy informed mo that tlio
lo'ttcrs and references , as to 1 is standIng -
Ing nd character , whloli had boon
forwarded to him by his father to
Singapore , together with introductory
loiters to gentlemen in lintavin , had
boon perfectly satisfactory to both
Miss V an Duson's undo nnd mother ,
And the consent of the latter had been
given , and the marriage ho hoped
would take place in about a month.
On the 12th day of March I re
turned from Surbaya to Batavia with
a full cargo for Singapore , and an
Harley waa to bo married the next
morning I would bo nblo to attend as
best tnnn to my friend and sail the
same evening for my destination.
Very beautiful looked Susotto in
her bridal dress ; and supremely hap
py was Ilarloy as they stood before
the clergyman and were joined in the
bondfl.of matrimony A most taste
ful dojounor WAS laid out at Mrs/ Van
Duson's 'country residence ; and at 2
o'clock I took my leave , having some
ship's business to transact , bpforo sail
ing. Tlio newly married pair were to
leave in the cool of the evening for
another limiso of Mrs. Ven Duson's ,
on a plantation fourteen miles distant ,
there to pasi the first few days of the
honeymoon.
It was nearly aunsot before I had
transacted all the ship's business and
returned on board. Everything was
in rcadinuss for sailing , so that ns
goon as 1 got on board 1 gave orders
to bo Under weigh. Just as the wind-
law was manned a note from , Harley
was brought off in a shore boat. I
opened it and waa completely astounded -
toundod at its contents :
"Don't trip your anchor till I como.
I am going with you. Take my traps
on board. " J. S. HAULEY.
The scrawl was hardly legible , but
waa fltill unqutstionably Hurley's
handwriting. For an instant the wild
idea Hashed across mo that it was pos
sibly a practical joko. But , then I
know that ho was not A man to play
such , and oven if ho were , a few
hours after marriage would hardly bo
the time oven the moat practical joker
would cheese to indulge in such a
propensity.
I looked into the boat , juid there
were trunks , bags , and desks in great
diaordor , evidently hurried off without
packing or care. The man in charge
only know that they came down in a
wagon nnd were sent off in his boat ,
and that I was to grant a receipt for
them.
For some little time I racked my
brain in a vain attempt to guess of
some clew to this extraordinary cir
cumstance. I then took the spy glass ,
and looking toward the shore , I saw
Harley coining off to the ship in an
other boat. In n few minutes moro
he sprang over the aide looking like a
man bereft of his souses. Throwing
a number of small silver coins into
the boat , ho just looked up nt mo
wildly for an instant , saying : "Got
under weigh as soon as you can , In
gram , " and hurried down the compan
ion stairway.
I followed to toll him to go in my
cabin , us the ono ho had occupied waa
filled with cargo ; but ho had already
gene into mine nnd bolted the door ;
and in answer to knocking only re
plied : "Como down after you have
'got a good ofli-ig. "
AB soon as I had got the ship well
outside , which was quito two hours ,
during which time I could not leave
the deck , I wont down again ; and
after knocking two or throe times ,
Ilarloy unbolted the door. His face
waa deadly palo , with an occasional
Hushing over for n ininuto or so ns ho
clenched his hands and scorned almost
in a convulsion. I did not speak. I
knew not what to say. Ho drew him
self away hastily , and continued to
walk to and fro. Then ho spoke :
"Thoy toll us there is a God. How
could Ho in mercy allow this ? " Ho
struck his forehead nnd sank on to the
little aofa.
Again I took his hand. "Calm
yourself , Harloy. Whatever may
have happened , bear it like a 'man
like the man I know you to bo. "
"Ingram , " ho said , "I came out of
the house with you to BOO you off to
day , when you loft Mrs. Von Duson ;
and if you remember , after you bid
Susotto good-by , she wont up B tails.
I liuvo not aeon her ninco. I ahull
never ape her again I never can see
her again I"
Ho pausocj ; nnd it flashed across mo
that ho had made noino discovery us
to his wife's conduct or character
which had nl oncu made him deter
mined to leave hur. Possibly the tx
prcssion of my toll-tale countenance
indicated something of this , for ho
looked up at mo suddenly.
"Poor , poor Susetto ! how can she
boar this ? She will think mo n
scoundrel ; nnd oh ! that is hard to
boar. But bolter that , than
that she should know what I know
that ( which her mother dare not ,
cannot tell hor. "
"Ingrain | " said ho , starting up. "I
have married my sister my own
mother's child ! "
"Good heavens ! Harley , do not say
that. It cannot bo. Some miscon
ception of something you have
heard. "
"Thero is no misconception. ,
made the discovery ton minutes after
you quitted Mrs. Van Duson'a , I am
hur aoii , though aho know it not till
I ahowod her a minaturo of my father
when ho wos.young , "
"Thank God for his mercy , Harley ,
that you were not later in making the
discovery. "
Ho paused for some seconds , and
then replied : "That is truo. It waa
wicked to doubt His mercy. "
He Boomed calmer now , and gnadu-
ally I gathered from him all the atten
dant circumstances. Intimate as I
had been with Harley , I merely know
from him that ho did not remember
his mother , OB aho had died when he
waa an infant , and that ho had boon
brought up by another lady till ho
went to school. Of j his family mat-
ton ho had always been aomowhat
reticent. "I had a letter from my
father , " or 'II must write to my father
by this mail , " waa generally all the
rotorenco ho made to the subject of
his homo belongings ; so that I was ns
totally unprepared for the informa
tion ho gave mo now of his antece
dents as I had boon for tlint connected
VAd TAYJifciiuVi'A
with the unhappy , miserable events
of the day.
OIIVPTF.TI 11.
Immediately after 1 had left Mrs.
Van Duscn's , the rest of the company
had also departed , with the exception
of ono or two bosom friends of Susetto
who intended remaining with her till
the newly married p.iir started in the
evening , Harley was then in the
room alone with Mrs. Van Dusen ,
and turning over the contents of n ,
desk which he had forgotten in his
hurry in leaving the ship , and which
I sent on shore after him , ho took out
a miniature of his father taken aomo
twenty-years beforo. This ho handed
to Mrs. Van Duoen , saying. "There
is my father.at the ago of twenty. "
"Why , this is a likeness of Charles
Smith , not of your father. Where
did you got it ? " exclaimed Mrs. Van
Duson , excitedly.
"I got it from my father himself.
Ho waa Charles Smith when it was
paintcdf but some three or four years
afterward ho unexpectedly inherited a
largo estate , and with is the name of
Harloy. But how atrango all this is !
Did you know him , that you recog
nize the miniature ) "
"Oh , do not ask mo , " cried Mrs.
Van Duson , with much agitation ; "I
can hardly bear the thought of it.
But speak speak truly ; have you
always boon called John Ilarloy ? "
"No. Till I was nearly 10 years
old I was called John Harrison. "
"Fasten the door ! " Call nobody.
WaUjrl" gasped Mrs. Van' Duson in
a hoarse whisper , as she dropped on tea
a sofa close to which she was standing.
In a few minutes she burst into sobs :
and as she was pressing the tumbler
of water to her lips , aho clasped him
rouud the neck , crying : "My boy , my
boy. My son , my sonl"
"Yes , dear mother , your son now ,
and I hope to bo a loving ono. But
why does the fact of your having
known my father excite you so torri-
ribly1' replied Harley , gently , as ho
returned her caress.
"My son my son , I tell you ! And
I am indeed nnd truly your mother.
Your father wroCe to mo that you had
died when six months old ; and some
months before that your father my
husband - had died in India of sun
stroke. Oh , wicked , wicked thus , to
deceive mo , as ho must also have de
ceived your father ! "
It was llnrloy now , according to the
poor follows piteous narrative , that
was tlio most overcome. Ho stood
uyer his mother in speechless amaze
ment , while the horror of his position
gradually unfolded itself to him.
At this moment Susetto came to
the door , and , finding it' bolted ,
knocked and called h'in by naino.
Ilarloy could not speak. But now for
a time Mrs. Van Dusen showed the
strongest nerve of the two. Con
trolling her feelings wonderfully , she
rose , wont to the door and calmly
said , "John and I , dear , have somu
business to arrange connected with
your marriage. Leave us for an hour
ur two , for wo have much to do. Now ,
Jo go when I ask you , for our time is
but short. "
Answered , but far from satisfied ,
the young bride wont reluctantly from
tlio door ; and Mrs. Van Duson re
turned to the sofa , and asked Harley
to give an account of his early youth.
11 u told her that his first recollec
tion was when about 5 years old , ho
was at the seaside with a lady , a Mrs.
Jones , with whom ho remained till
put to a boarding school. She was
very kind to him , and loved him ex
ceedingly , and often spoku to him of
her own little buy , who was dead , and
would appear vexed that ho did not
remember him , which ho could not
Kay ho did. At 7 years of ago ho was
sent to a day school and two years
later a gentleman , who had of ton como
to see him , took him away and put
him to another school , at the same
time tolling him that ho was his father
and that hm proper numo was John
Smith Harloy.
Further explanation between Mrs.
Van Dusen and Harley only served to
confirm tlio astounding intelligence
thu , ho WIIB hur son , whom she had
hitherto believed to have died in in
fancy. Harluy hud also been inform
ed that hia mother had died while ho
was quito young.
"And your father my husband , "
asked Mrs. Van Duson , "is he tUill
alive ? "
"Ilarloy answered in the affirma
tive.
tive."Oh
"Oh , what a wretched woman I
am , " she cried , to have my first hus
band living , and yet to have boon the
wife , and now thu widow , of another
man ! "
Her distress of mind was suruly
painful to Avitnoss , and in the sight of
it Ilarloy almost forgot his own botvil-
during position. How at oneo to separate -
arato from Susotto was now the mo
mentous question.
"Shu inunt be told everything , ami
I will ( jo ; to her now , " s\id Mrs. Vim
Duson as she rose and went trembling
ly toward thu door.
But the generous heart of Harley
refused to subject hur to HO sudden u
trial. In an instant ho decided how
to act , Gently drawing her luuk to
the sofa , and kiasini/lior tmuloily , hu ,
by a strong ell'oit , spoke quietly mid
calmly ; "Ue.ir mother , I must not
cannot bo thu weans of causing you
the further trhl of comiuuiiieatint ;
thcso circumstances to Suxotto. It
would only add , and 1 think need
lessly , to the bitterness of our inevi
table partini ; . Thu knowledge of thu
unfortunate events of your early life
would only bo a source of rolloction
which wo van surely for the present
spare her ; and after she has some
what recovered from the shock of our
separation you can communicate them
to her in your own way. I will now
write a letter to her , telling her that
sudden and unforsoon news of great
importance compels mo to leave for
Singapore , in tlio Albert Allen im
mediately that I cannot bear the
trial of a parting scene , but that I will
write to her as sson as I arrive there.
Though she will suffer much , yet I
think she will do less this way than
any other. Trying to save both her
and you as much 'as possible will per
haps extenuate the deception put up
on hor. "
Harley having persuaded Mrs. Van
Dusen to consent to this plan , and
having written the letter to bo de
livered to Susotto soon after his de
parture , took an afloctionato leave of
his unhappy mother and lefttho house
unseen.
The explantions which had passed
between Mrs. Van Duson and Hurley
were these : Mr. CJmrles Smith , Ing
grandfather , had by a wealthy marri
age been enabled toinovo _ in a much
higher sphere in society than that in
which he had been born ; nnd , like
many others similarly situated , formed
the most extravagant ideas as to the
future of his son Charles , named after
him , and of his twin sister , Ellen.
For the first of those lip got a commis
sion in n "crack" regiment ; and on
the final return of his daughter from
school , ho engaged for her a compan
ion , a swoct , amiable girl , and an
orphan. Between Charles and her a
warm attachment was soon formed ,
which ripened into love. Charles
persuaded hur , on some pretense , to
visit London for a short time , where
she stayed with her old schoolmistress.
During this time the bans of marriage
were published in the two churches of
the respective parishes they satyed in ,
after which they were united.
When Charles' father came to learn
what had taken place he gave way to
the most violent passion , and avowed
that the woman who had thus entrap
ped his son would never bo allowed to
boar his name. He went up to Lon
don and compelled Charles to ex
change at once into a cavalry regiment
serving in India. The youth pleaded
to be allowed to take his wife with
him , or to remain at homo , but his
father was inexorable ; and Charles
buing under ago. and entirely depend-
out upon his father for support , was
unable to resist the nmildate.
Thus , after but a few weeks of mar
ried life , they were torn from - each
other , and the most Charles couldob
tain from his unrelenting parent was
promise that his wife or Miss Harri
son , as his father chose to call her
should bo well cared for. To do him
justice , Mr. Smith faithfully performed -
od this , but it was after exacting a
promise from the poor girl that she
should never make known the marriage
riago with his son. She was indeed
well provided for , and a son who was
afterward born to her , was taken from
the mother and given to Mrs. Jones ,
thu widow of a curate lately deceased ,
and who had been left with an infant
of her own , Mr. Smith paying liberal
ly for tlio care of the boy.
After the young mother's recovery
aho obtained , through Mr. Smith's in
fluence , indirectly applied , a situation
as governess in Amsterdam. She had
received several letters from Charles ,
m which ho told her that , as soon as
ho was of ago , ho would como homo
and make their marriage public ; end
he had also written to his father to the
same effect. Determined , however ,
to break off the connection , Mr.
Smith , as soon as ho had obtained the
situation for the poor young wife in
Amsterdam , wrote , to his son that she
had died of typhoid fever ; and at the
sumo time ho wrote to her that his son
had died in India very suddenly. This
she fully believed , but she came to
England once to BOO her child. Fear
ful that if these visits were frequently
repeated BIO would find out the de
ception ho had practiced as to his son's
death , Mr. Smith further again de
ceived her by sending her intelligence
of the death of her child itself a few
months later. All connection between
them was thus terminated ; and some
years , in entire ignorance or suspicion
of the deception that had been prac
ticed upon her , she married Captain
Van Duson , thccommandorofaDutch
East Indiaman.
When Charley Harley , in India ,
received the false intelligence of his
wife's death , he wrote to his father
bogging him to BOB that everything
possible should bo done for the child's
health and welfare , and this Mr.
Smith faithfully did.
On his father's death , two years
after , Charles sold his commission and
came homo from India , when , suc
ceeding to largo estates from his
maternal granduncle , ho assumed the
nameof Harloy. Thereupon ho
formally acknowledged John as his
son , and pensioned off Mrs. Jones ,
put the lad to school , and , after ho
came of ago , settled on him a most
liberal reward.
It was very unfortunate that we
had an unusually quick passage to
Singapore , for the next morning af
ter sailing from Batavia , on going in
to the cabin where Harley was , I
found him in a raging fever and quito
dolerious. I did the bust I could to
allay hjs siift'erings ; but up to our ar
rival at Singapore , ho remained in
tlio same state and was carried on
slioro to the hotel , where the best
medical aid was procured. It was
moro than n fortnight before ho was
considered out of danger , though still
terribly prostrated by weakness. Of
course ho had been uuablo to
write to , Susotto , us ho proposed ,
and was still incapable of doing so ;
but he requested mo to pen a few
lines to Mrs. Van Duson , intimating
that ho had boon vury ill , and , though
now recovering , was too weak to
writo. This I did ; and two moro
days passed , the symptoms continuing
favorable.
Thou came a letter by a steamer
from Mrs. Van Dusen , full of anxiotv ,
our arrival at Singapore having boon
reported theio. With it came some
English letters , which had gene to
liutavia from Singarporo , and were
now returned by Mrs. Van Duson.
Olio of these , I could not help ob
serving , was a somewhat bulky packet ,
edged with black. I did not , however
choose to notice the circumstance
when I handed Harley the letters ,
but left him for a while to read them ,
1 lounged about for some time on the
veranda until u Chinese waiter came
to say that Mr. Harluy wanted mo im-
mudiately. As I entered the room I
saw that ho had raised himself up in
his bed , His face waa flushed ; and
