The Huron Expositor, 1885-05-15, Page 22 -T E URON EXPOSITOR. QUERWINS WHIM. : CHAPTER. XXVIII. (Continued.) "I simpose I did. He Came to me oee day ,T things had been going on for a long time, but there had been no actual wooing. Harry was a 1 matter-of-fact man, and. I was just the reverse/ I had get my head full of novels, And had framed my i own ideas of love -making. I wanted. an 'ardent lover, one who would carry me away with the force Of his awn feelings. The quiet, business- like manner in which Harry spoke fired my pride kra hardened me, besides, as I said before 'though to• laved him, I was Ina:quite willing to be married." "Do you remember what he said to you?" "Yes, insverywords. I was in the drawing -room at Cherie i -Stile House, li and he came to me loo ing very quiet and pale. 'Langley,' he said, 'this has been „going on a long one, too long; bk, earth, and I think, and 4 don't seem to e any nearer to what I -Wt. We care for each other,. I knew.

'I can hardly believe that. I will not press cir ., annoy you, dear, I will speak to Garth,' ' and then he went away. "Oh,,if he had only s 43, yed, Queenie, and reasoned with me a little, my better nature must have prevailed, for I, "loved him so, but his apparent Icoolness anger- .- ed me, and then"Garthcame and scolded me, which made matters woree. He was for carrying things with a high ,hand ; - but I only grew obstinate. " And, so one wretched day Harry and I had bitter words tagether, and he faced round upon me when --.1 sat pretending to work, and swore that if I would not marry him, Gertinde Leslie should, and with that he turned on his heel and left me. "I felt I had gone to far then, and - that he meant what he said Sooner than lose him altogether, I would have humiliated myself in the dust I threw down my work, and called out Harry, but he did not hear, and in another mo - .Ment his horse's hoofs sounded in the lane. "I did all then that I could de. I *rote a penitent little note begging :him to forgive me and come back to me, and all should be as he wished; and I sent a messenger on to Karldale with it, charg- ing him to deliver it into Harry's' own hands ; but,. a,las 1 it was brought back - to me unopened. Harry had never been home at II;ahe had ridden straight off to Blanddale, and the next morning I heard Gertrude Leslie had promised to be -his wife. -"- Oh, Queenie," as the girl leaned over her and kissed the white lips that quiv-, erect stilt with the remembrance of ' that long -past agony, "that moment was a sufficient punishment for all my mad folly, even Garth thought so, for he had no word of reproach -for me. "But I opened my lips to no one. None knew what, I suffered during those nights and clays. - An old aunt of ours I had, fallen in in Carlisle, and I went- to her, and stayed with her till she died "When I came back they were Mar - Tied, and by and. by Harry and I met. ,-• I could see he was greatly changed, and. his manner was constrained and nervous, but it was !not in his nature to bear i malice, and I know he soon forgave me, 11 the more that he 'must have eeen hat he was not the only one to suffer." "Dear Langley," 'stroking the *Lori face still more tender y, "I can hardly hear to her it ; it seems all so dreadful. I cannot understand how women I can live through such things." 1 . "One gets used to torture," with 4 strange smile. . Have you not read that martyrs have been known to sleep on the rack ? The worst part of life always seente, to me that pain so seldom kills. We g? on inuflated, shorn of our best blessings. wounded,. and bleeding, ! but we never, die." Queenie stooped j &lin and. quOted softly in her ear, Wherefore is light given to hiunin misery, and life mite the bitter in soul, -which long for death; but it cometh not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures 92' Ah, I have often repeated those' words. I thought when I first saW Harry after he was married, that it erould kill me, -to think that he belonged to another woman, that she, not I, had a right to his every thought and careIt seemed as though my heart could not hold all its pain." • - " Ah, but he had not ceased to love you. There muet have been some 'con- scription in that thought." Yes, but it was not a right console-. tion, and then I iknew that I was the cause of his unhappiness, that was the hardest part of all. He was so good, he tried so hard to do his duty by her and make her a fond and faithful husband; but she never loved, him." But she married him." Alas, she married him out of pique. Her lover had jilted her; and, in her despair she took the first offer that came to her. Poor Gertrude ! she has told me all heel troubles. I am -her friend as well as Harry's, and all that can be done for them I have tried to do to my utmost." "That.I am sure you have." "It used to be dreadful to go there; and iee how she treated him; but it was my penance, and I bore it for his sake. When the Child came things were better between them, and latterly I hoped that he had ceased to regret the past; but nOW1) she wrung her hands, and the despairing be* came back into her eyes, "God has taken from him his only com- fort, and I must see his misery and do nothing." There was a moment's silence, only the ceaselees patter of the rain sounded on the leaves, and then Langley raised herself with effort. "He him been too long alone; some one must gla to him„' she said anxious- ly. "Either yon, or Garth must rouse him "- " Hush !" interrupted Queenie, "I think I hear something. There is surely the sound a wheels in the distance. It is coming nearere yes, it is stopping at the gate.' "Then it must be Gertrude," ex- claimed Langley, putting 'hack the damp hair from. her face, and trying to rise from the bed: "Look out, clear Queenie. Oh, }if it should be Gertrude." "I am straining my eyes in the dark- ness; 'but it in so hard, to distinguish anything. Yee, there are two figures, one very tall. I think that must be Mrs. Chester. -Garth is opening the door, now he will bring her up. , Lie down 'again, Langley, you look dreadful." But Lang- ley only !shook her head, and renewed her efforts toise. 1 They could ',hear footsteps ascending the narrow stairs. The gleam of a candle preceded them. Langley tottered feebly to the head bf the staiecase, but Mrs. Chester did not see her. 1 " Where is the ? where is my child ?' she said, putti g out her hands and feel- ing before h r, with the gesture of a sleep -walker, r one stricken suddenly blind, and Qu enie, moved with sudden compassion, s rang forward and guided her to the do r "Little Na is there," she said. "He is sitting by her; we cannot get him to leave her." Yes, he Was sitting there in the same attitude in which they had left him, with the child s dead hand -sti,tI.. clasped in his. At the sight ofhatowed fig- ure, that mute despair, the Wife's heart woke into sueldenlife, ind she walked -feebly toward* him. I ' . "Harry," she said, bur ting into tears, and throwing her arms r und his neck, " my -poor Harry, it iso r little child,: mine as well as yours, We must comh fort each other." CHAPTER XXIX.

"Let us gaand•look for blackberries; the missus is so fond of blackberries," interposed ithe captain hurriedly, for Emmie's dilated eyes 'filled him with alarm., The child's sensitive nature was depressed by the sadness that surround- ed her; a t whole world of pathos, a strange involved meaning, lay behind thane simple words. ." The world is, such a tiring pia& ; dome one is always crying in it." Ales I yes, little i Ermine. Out of His bright heaven God looks down on the upturne.d wet faces ,of myriads of His creatures. What seas Of tears roll between the earth and His mercy! If the 'concentrated pain of hnmanity could be condensed -into a single groan . the whole universe ' could not bear the 'terror of ,that sound, reverberating beyond the bound of the uttermost stark silencing the very music of heaven., . Such a tiring place ! True, most true, little Emmie; A place where mistakes are made and never rectified ;- a place Where a joyous meeting is too often re - pieced by a sad 'good -by, where hearts that cleave togetherare sundered,. where under the sunshine 'lie the . shadows, 'and the shadows lengthen the farther we walk. • Such a tiring place ! since we must work and weep, , and live out the life that seems t6 us so imperfect, since sweet blossoms fail to bring fruit, and thorns lurk underneath the roses. Yet are the letters written up, graven and indelible, on ,every I mutilated- life: "What I do thou know, est not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." So, one bright summer's morning, lov- inghands lifted little Nan and laid her in her restiug=place by the lime -tree walk, and the childless parents foilowed hand in hand: ' - 1 The church -yard was crowded with sympathizing faces. Queenie was there at the head of her scholars, and Langley stood near her leaning heavily on her brother's errh. 1 When the service was over, the. Children stepped up two and two, and dropped their simple offerings of rustic wreaths and flowers into the open grave. One- child had 'fashioned' a rude cross of poppies and corn, and flung it led and gleaming at the mother's feet. Gertrude took it up and kissed it, and placed it tenderly with the rest. The child, a chubby -faced creature scarcely • more than an infant, looked up at her with great blank eyes: " Oo' littldgell will like my rowerls,', she lisped, as Gertrude burst into tears. Queenie felt very heavy-hearted when, the next day, the Chesters left her and trude kissed he , and tried to say a went back to trr lonely home.

Garth, who was naming down the lane, crossed over the toad and joined her. " So' you have your little home to yourselves again,' he said, looking down ly and lay it on her breast. "Harry, my poor Harry," she whispered over hien, with a perfect passion of -pity. Did the warning voice within her admonish her that she- too must soon leave him and join her child ? - . .Lang, -ley came and went on brief min- istering errands, but she pever remained, long. Now and then, when all was quiet in • the little room above, she would go in and kneel down betide the baby coflin. What sort of prayers ascended from that lonely heart that had missed its - way so early in life? "Little Nam I would have laid down my life, to have saved yours," she whispered, pressing her lips to the wood. ' One day Captain Faure tt stood 'there with Emmie beside him. .Ennine'sr great blue eyes dilated and wic cued with awe and wonder at the sig t _of the tiny white face. The little coffin, the bed; • the morn, were perfect y Istrewn with flowers. Great boxes of rare hot -house flowenesent from Carlisle, and directed in an unknown hand, had arrived that morning at the cottage. Gertrude was sitting weaving a cross in the room dawn-stairs,.while her hesband witch,ed her.

"All'these years lost, and only to understand eabh other at the la t 'there does seem su h a mystery in things, Mr. Clayton." - "Not at all : he has only married the wrong woman," returned Garth, coolly. "Hundreds Of Men do that, and hewe to rue their mistakel. You are only a girl; you do not know !the world as we continued the young man, a little lof "There ate all sorts of temptations aed influences. One needs all one's wisdom end strength of mind to steer clear among all the shoals and quicksands one - finds in life." It was Mr; Chester's oven fault marrying the young woman,?' persisted Queenie, with re little heat. Garth's loltiuese and burst of eloquence did not move her in the least. His Cool statement of fapts was rank heresy in her eyes. What was it to her that hundreds of men° had made matrimonial mistakes? In her woMan's creed, that code of purity end innocence, it 'was a simple question of right and wrong. To love one woman and Marry another, however expedient in a worldly point of View, was a sinifor which there was no grace of forgiveness. " Men make their own fate: it is for them to choose: , No one need make mistakes with their, ekes open,'t 'con- tinued the girl, with a little impatience and scorn of -this matter-of-fact philos- ophy.
