The Brussels Post, 1890-11-28, Page 7Noy. 28, 1890, TE :' 13RusSMS' POST White bee and shaking in every limb. 'Oil, Jack,' the cried in a piteous voice, 'it ie hard. Ohl it is hard.' It wet the first time that he had laid bare his heart to her since the day when he had teed her that when- ever she wanted him he would be ready to throw up all the world for her. They had been the best and Monet of friends, ho lead been af. feotionate and tender with her, but ho had never shown her the wild passion of love which always raged within his heart at the sight of her sweet eyes or the touch of her soft fingers. He gave her the letter to read. 'I can't hold it still,' she said, but she put it ou her knee and read it through in silence ; and before she got to the end of it, Major Dennis came in, 'Hello, Trevor, so you're back I Well, did you get your letter ?' he asked. 'Yes, I did, bleier.' He tried to tell him what had happened, but the word fairly stuck in his throat and he turned away to the window. Ethel looked up and with an effort she gathered her strength and herawits together and spoke. 'Something very wonderful hag happened to Jack, Cosmo,' she said, and she wondered that he did not notice how strained and agitat- ed her voioe was. 'His uncle or cousin is dead and he ie Lord Ross- trevor now.' 'Lord Rosstrevor 1' repeated the Major. 'My dear ,bap, I'm very glad, very glad indeed. What a blessing your uncle or cousin, which- ever it was, did not go and merry and have a lot of small children to cut you out, as mine did. And you're going down wherever it is— of course.' 'Yes, I'm going tomorrow morn• ing,' Jaok replied. 'Ah, I'm sorry I can't stop and dine with you. I would if I wasn't solemnly en raged eleewkere. How• ever, the wife will give you sumo dinner, I'm sure you must want to talk it over with somebody.' 'We could dine down here, couldn't we 2' Ethel asked. 'Up- stairs in the dining -room, there is such a noise and—and—Jack is not dre,eed.' 'Oh, yes; have it here, by all means. Well, good-bye, old fellow. See you again in a few days, I dare- say ?' He was, gone before Jack could anewer, shutting the door after him with a crash. Mrs. Dennis rang the bell. 'Judge,' aha said, wheu that per- sonage appeared —and Judge really was a personage in that small es- tablishment, aye, and in the greater republic of The Flats as well,—"Mr. Trevor's going to dine with me. And we will have it down here.' 'Very good, Mum,' said Judge, '1'11 attend to iL' They were very quiet that even• ing, and Judge waited on them with ant imperturbable face, as if it was quite a usual thing to come into titles and to dine with Mrs. Dennis alone while the Major was dining elsewhere ; for, of course Mrs. Dennie had told Zelle that Mr. Tre- vor was Lord Rosstrevor now, and equally of course, Judge's blush rose had told him. And at last they were left really alone. 'Shall you stay in the Service, do you think, Jack 2' she asked. 'No—I shall get out of it as soon as I can," he replied. 'You'll have a vary different time now, of course—you'll have lots of duties and new intermits. I wonder if you are the last of the name.' 'I don't know but 1 fancy so. I know really very little about my people. They oast off my grand. father, and neither my father nor I have ever held communication with theta until now. We've been stead- ily ignored always. So you see I know very little. My father never spoke of his people to me, excepting of his own father and mother, My grandmother used to tell me long yarns about the Travers, but I never listened—it all went in at one ear and out at the other,' There was a long silence—then Ethel spoke painfully and with a supreme effort. 'Jack,' she said gently—'you will have to marry.' 'Never,' he burst out ; 'Unless—' 'No—no—not that. If you are the last, you cannot let an old name die out, and—and—it will be your --duty.' Iicr trembling lips could scarcely frame the last word, but hie jealous ears caught it. 'Then,' lie cried, 'let me tell you pleinl;y from the bo• ginning that if it be my duty a thousand times over 1 have not the very smallest intention of doing that particular duty, not the very small. eat. Good heavens, what worse will the world be a hundred years hence if there is no Lord Rosstrevor ? If there is ro Trevor family ? Not the least bit worse, probably the better if the general family stock io the port that cute its sons off fore' er b0. cause they merry for the 'herd All reunions, While if 1 marry.* woman I loathe, or at best am inchfferent to, loving another man's wife with all my boort, I shall make •a they ougbly bad husband—one couldn't make a good one, yuu know. if one felt like that --,well, the world would be the worse' for what I had done, most distinctly the worse.' 'But what sort of a wife must I make ?' she asked in a pained tone. 'You make a very good wife, far better than your husband ever do - serves to have. Besides, you did not marry him with your eyes open, knowing what you would feel—it is different. What is s ernel mistier tune to you, would be an unforgivo• able sin in me, a crime, because I shouldn't have the smallest shadow of an excuse. Why, if I married another woman now, I should never be able to look her in the face. No —no—for your sake, Ethel, beoause I believe in your goodness and your absolute purity, I am willing, aye, and content, to go on living as I am doing now—your friend, and nothing more. But 1 am not content to think of marrying another woman for the sake of a family which bas never done anything for me until it couldn't help itself. It makes me farioae to hear you talk of my duty to my family—I have no duty to the Trevors, excepting to John Trevor, of the Fifteenth Dragoons.' 'I did not mean to Bugged any- thing that wuuld hurt you, Jaok' she said meekly— 'you do believe that, don't you ?' Ho began to fuel himeelf a positive brute to her, 'It would be well for me,' he said, 'if I were half as good and half as unselfish as you are, dear. No, you needn't shakeyour bead like that. Do you think I have forgotten how, years ago, when we were the beet of chums at Blank. hampton, you used to let me. have the best of everything Bud always made me feel I was doing you a favor by taking it ? Yon are the same now as you were then.' 'I want to be the some,' she cried, 'but, oh I Jaok, I feel so different, so different that sometimes I look back and wonder if I ever was that dear little happy child who ran about the gardens at the Cliffe and the Palace without a care in the wide world ?' 'To mo,' said he tenderly, 'you are and will always bo just that same child. You will never grow old to me, Ethel—never.' Well, at last he declared that he must be going—be had a lot of let- ters to write, and he felt that he ought to run round to Lord Gas• coigne's, late as it was, and tell him the wonderful news. So about half.. past nine he torn himself away, and Ethelwent with him to the head of the stairs, for, hke most men, he disdained the use of the lift. And as they, reached the head of the stairs Madame Woleneki came up to them and greeted the two in her elaborate foreign manner. 'Ah ! Madame, good evening. Mr. Trevcr, I am charmed to see you. But—is anything the matter ? Yon look disturbed.' 'Mr. Trevor has had rather dis- turbing news,' said Ethel. 'Yes ? I hope not very bad news,' she said in a sympathetic voice. 'No one in your family has died, 1 trust.' 'Well, yes, Madame, my second cousin, Lord Rosstrevor, is dead—' 'Ch1—' broke in the lady In a sad voioe. 'But I have never seen him,' Tre- vor continued. Uh 1' in a tone of comprehension, 'but the news has disturbed you, of course.' 'Wall, yes—cud I must be going. Good•nigbt, Madame—Good-uight, Mrs. Dennis.' 'Good -night,' Ethel replied ; and then he ran quickly down the stairs, leaving her and her new acquaint- ance, Madame Wolonski, standing on the landing together. (TO BE CONTINUED.) General Newai.

Meadows, of Bledsoe, Tena., having sold his farm and stock, was seated by the fire talking to kis wife of their contemplated trip to Texas, whither they were going to make their future home. Meadows pulled out his money, which was in large bills, and proceeded to, count it. When he had laid down his last bill on the hearth someone opened the doors and a gust of wind carried hie all into the fire. Before Meadows could rescue any of his currency it was in ashes. He had converted all his poseeseions into cash, and in a twinkle all was lost. • "Weeping" trees are becoming quite oommon. Logan county, Ky., claims to have three of them. They are maple trees, which stand in the front yard of John Lyne. Two weeks ago, and at a time when there had been no rain for a fort- night, water in streams began to run from the tip of each limb. The water has soaked the ground thor- oughly and enough falls to wet a man who will stand under the trees through and through in five minutes. The water falls at night the same as in the day. A. heavy mist con- tinually hangs about the tress, no matter how warm the sun may shine. There ars other trees in the yard, but they are unaffected. Mrs. John Callahan, of St. Louis, Mo., wife of a cripple, has the boarding privileges of the camp of laborers engaged on the new water- works' conduit. For some reason John Fisher, a fireman employed in running the engines, conceived a hatred against the woman and her family. While Mrs. Oallahan's little boy Johnny was playing about the camp, Fisher took a shovelful of coals from the engine and threw them upon the little boy's hack, literally burying him in fire. Had it not been for prompt assistance the child would have been instantly burned 'to death. A. number of men hoard his screams and ran and ex- tinguished the flames. The flesh is all Burned from the boy's back and he will surely dia. A warrant has been issued for Fisher's arrest.
