The Huron Expositor, 1891-01-16, Page 2HEART of GOLD. BY L. T. MEADE. (Published in Pamphlet Form by John Lovell Son, Montreal.) THEHURON EXPOSITOR a ��J�s■..e. 1 over the place, not affecting Hope, for they never reached her where she lay and buffered, in the pretty bedroom which joined Katie Douglas'. i .• t After • weepa k of great in, the in flemmation subsided=the fear and the interest alike abated dowostafri and upstairs. Hope began to Smile, td have long intervals of delicious peace and' ease, and returning 'strength. At !set the doctor gave permission that she might leave her roolm, and be very carefully carried into Mrs. Chat- terton's boudoir, which was on the aside floor. CHAPTER XIV. ) ! (Continued from` last week.) , . i" God help the girl, if the brute took her down here," muttered Markham.. "Yes, of course ; down here they have _ gone. Come, BlackBess, down this path you too must follow" 1116 loosened the reins, bade the horse pi!forward, and then gave her bar way. Now he ceased to have any consecutive thoughts, but with .each step he was haunted by a direr and direr vision. S,'tich a slim young thing, so graceful, so sprightly and upright in movement, with so spirited sin eye, so arched and proud a lip. What was she like- now ? God help the girl, and God help him, foe if any real harm had happened to her he could never be . _the same man again. The spiteful donkey was still poking hys head about and - casting inquisitive glances up and down the narrow lane. Could he have spoken, he might have told a story which might not have,,been to his own credit. It was his prsent humor to be quiet,; as Markham passed hie uttered no agreseive bray. 1 • � Two or three minutes later the man pulled up short, uttered a cry of thanks- giving, sprang from Black Bese' back, rushed across the ploughed field, and was kneeling,by Hope's side. Thank God ! what a mercy ! i " Are you very. much hurt ?" " My loot hurtt,badly, and I cftnnot stir," answered Hope, turning her head away, for tears of weakness and ner- vousness were springing to her eyes. " Don't try to speak ; I know all about it. The brute threw you." "He didn't, I jumped from his back. Lam not a coward, Mr. Markham." "I should think not—about the bravest gr1 I have ever known. Now ,I'm going tp see to my horse ---I wgn't be away a mo- ment. I just went to tie her up until I cin find some one to fetch her. I'll be back directly." r Hope .had almost to press her lips' to- ., keepback the wild ��tber to desire watch g4 prompted her to say— - 1 u 0, don't leave me—I am a coward— I'in awfully frightened. Oh, don't leave Me 1" She did keep back the words, bat to save her life she could not have uttered any others. - j"I'll be back ie a' moment," he repeat- ed ; and ran across the field to tie Black Bess; by her bridle teetthe nearest post. , When he returned the ears were rails- - ing down Iope'e cheeks. Whatever Markham was destitute of, h had, when he chose to, exercise it, abundance of tact. He looked at,.Hope now in as matter-of-fact a way° as if it w re quite the ordinary thing,in fact the us al thing, for a girl to sit helpless in' the middle of a plowed field, and look up with eyes drowned in tears to a man's fate. " I am glad yon are so far recovered," he'said. '` As to your poor foot—it is your foot, isn'tit ?—we shall goon make that comfortable when eve get to Beeches. NOV, the thing is to get there. - We are not more `than a mile away. If • I stoop down so, do you think you cogld manage to p ut your arm round my she older ? ope felt herself shuddering alt over. "t I really can't," she managed to utter. ''' That is silly." Markham intentionally adopted a mat- f?err of -fact, wooden tone; _ " You can't stay in this field all night, *or can you be left while I go to fetch som people to carts"! you. You are very ligh, , and I am very strong. Try and thin of me as your horse for the time being. I a9aure yoit I shall be a much safe • one than Rossiter." • 1 The pain," muttered. ope ; " I can't move an inch without se earning." ".+ You must try .not to give way to that feeling. Each moment you sit - in thio' damp field increases th chance of inflammation setting upin he injured joint. Now, one more flash the cour- age (which you so really pos se. Non - sante, I will ,have it—put yor arm so— tighter, please. That is righ-$." - In a moment Markham %�vilas walking aeries' the field, managing hie light bur- den: skilfully. The injured oot suffer- ed agony, but Hope did - not utter a sound. Not once did she groan, nor even once try to .alter her position. Markham felt; his heart stirred to its depths with compassion ; he could form glome idea of the 'fortitude and pain .and humiliation which were animating the b east of his light burden. Both he and H pe thought that walk would never coin to an end. At last the avenue was reached, at last • the lights from the cheerful and hospi- table house streamed into vi w. ":The worst is over," said arkgam,in a cheerful voice. " What did you speak ?" He slackened. hie steps. - "It was only to say thank you," said Rohe. "a You have nothing to th k ate for. That brute of a horse was t e cause. I sheln part with him as soon as possible. Here we are—courage— t e - haven is won !—Yes, Mrs. Chattert n, I have brought you back this youn lady in a sorry plight. - Rossiter ran away with her, and she jumped off his ack to save herself:- She has beenreplucky. I will lay her down here, if yon will allow me. Give her some tea while I fetch. a doctor." CHAPTER. XV 1 - The dreaded •inflammatiop did set in, and for some days Hope as a close prisoner to her room. Sh was aufli- ciently ill, and there was a sufficiently remote chance even of a putation of the injured member, to mak her case of girt- interest in the house. It was the. i aehion of each gathering of the assem- bled guests to ask how Miss arrow wao now, to discuss the chance of her- re- covery the kindness of he host and, hostess; the foolhardiness f her owns steed. ' The kind people pitied Hope, the -na turgid showed sympathy lless good a for Mr. and hire. Chatterton. It -was so iCnples.aant to have a confirmed invalid in the' house—t-he very lookf a trained *arse about the piece was gl4oray. Then the kind and the unkind alike tried to put together what pieces they Could of Hope's history. She was a penniless lass, rather low -born, with no - expectations. No, not at all, her birth was exoellent,her connections irrepresch- rble ; she had a little money of her ewn, and, made more, and some day she "could .recaive p large fortune through the medium of an enormously wealthy aunt,whp had already adopted her sister. Thr,re kind of remarks flew Iightly all " Yon don't know how deliciously pretty we have made theroom for you, darling," said Katie Douglas, kissing her friend's pale face with enthusiasm. " The gardener has been -up and down all" the morning, putting in fresh hot- house ,flowers ; and. Mr. Grey himself has arranged the sofa for you; so that 'you can . see out over the lawns and the distant trees. : It will be a change, from your bed and this dull sofa, dear ; for of course you villi be able to see people. Not that there are man; in the house who were here at the time of your accident. Noor Gus Chatterton went off yesterday "—here Katie blushed, and looked intensely., melancholy—" and of course Roley and Phil have been back at school for days. That's theworst of country houses." concluded Katie ; .. when, you do meet a nice fellow who quite suits you, he's certain•to have to run away on account of some horrid profession or business of some sort." ' " Is," said Hope, coloring faintly, ; and bringing out her words, with more effort than Katie had anyidea of, "is Cecil— ia Cecil still here ?" " Yes ; he's here still, and so is Mr. Markham. I'm not fascinated by 1 Mr. Markham. Maud Chatterton does rave so about his singing. I suppose it is very fine, and that I have no soul for music. Bee is just as bad about ' Mr. Grey. I never saw such girls ; they certainly wear their hearts on their sleeves. What's the: matter, Hope I You look quite white. Have some of your tonic, darling, Yes, your dear - Cecil and his charmigg friends -re still here, but that's all that can be said of them, fdr they j go this afternoon. I{ositer is be sold ; did you know it ? He was sent off yesterday, and they !are both going Tattersall's about him. He is a thor ughbred,you know,thotigh he is so viol us." ' " He's no a bit vicious," said Hopei coloring age n, and sitting npright on her sofa. "Katie, I should like' to nee Cecil before a goes. Can't you manage it for me, K tie ?" - ` Of oours `I can. You shall be moved into ,the bo doir at once, It's 'quite ready. Do yon know, Hope, although your face is v rhiter and thinner than it ought to be,you look wonderfully nice. I can't make out what is so nice about you; I. suppose it's the color of your eyes,and the way they are set, and the arch of your brows; I can't make it . out—id it your expression, I wonder ? For you have not got handsome features. No, critileallyeyou have not." , - "h, don't dissect me now, please, Katie; here is nurse quite ready, an I want a change di room and scene) so badly. Now, nurse, please help to wheel me out of the gloom into the sunshine." Katie and goner to look for Cecil Grey. Hope lay back on her new sofa, and en- joyed the lovely surroundings of her fresh room. Flowers made it look like a bower ; a faint perfume, not too strong, pervaded it ; the view from the window, the distant view=ars well as the near, was of great beauty, and refreshed Hope's tired eyes and brain. A -little color from excitement had. come ; into her cheeks. Her heart' was beating faster than was quite consistent with return- ing health. - •` I hope Cecil will come to say good- bye," she said to herself, " I do trust Katie will be in time ; they may have gone off for a long walk,;, and then there will be lunch, and then, only just the necessary half-hour to catch the train. I must see Cecil. He carrot be allowed to sell Rossiter --he must not sell him ; it would make me wretched to think of it. He would always then associate my .name with a loss in his• life. I don t think I could quite bear it. How weak of me to cry—I suppose I ati weak; it's just physical—but it's provoking' all the same. Oh,.I wish Cecil, would come ! Yes—there he is—that's his tap at the door. Come in, Cecil conte in." - -" Cecil will see you afterwards," said Markham's quite cheerful, matter-of-fact tone. " Im so glad you . have beim moved Mere before we went - away. wantedtto assure myself that you we really better by getting a good peep t you before Iwent. Now, tell me. how you are. You don't mind my having a chat with you, do you?" The tears were still wet on Hope's cheeks. She felt provoked. Was Mark- ham always to see her in this condi- tion ? ` I'm a little weak," she said, some- what lamely, for she was not feeling at all oemposed " 1 see—I a• m greatly conc�rned• but you will be better soon now, and 'Mrs.: Chatterton' takes so much interest in yes. She says'she is going to take you' to Bournemouth next week ; the ` sea -lair`. will soon set you up." " lira. Chatterton is more than kind., Of coarse I shall soon be all right again. Nobody need worry about mi. Mr. Markham, I wanted to ask yon some- thing. 1 sent Katie to find Cecil, for I didn't think perhaps l'd see yon." ' " Yes_? Did you really=euppose me to be such a heartless being as not to make an effort to come to see? you ? on want to ask me something—wha is it . 9 My dear Miss Karroo, you won't get well at this rate. Your hands are quite shaking. - Now, rest assured I shall ac- eede to your modest request beforehand. Ask—command—I obey," " But it isn't a modest request. 1 want you not to sell Rossiter." Markham, who hitherto had preserved a very cool, every -day exppression, and. whose words were carlefally modulated to denote only common courtesy , and friendliness, started .. now, the color rushed into his sallow face, and he gave Hope one of those lightning glances which had so displeased her on the first evening of their acquaintance.. - "' Why do you ask rite not to sell my own horse ? Why do you interfere ?" " 1—because—" Hope hated to find herself stammering. Then she looked- fall np at Markham, and spoke bravely. " Yon are selling .Rossiter because of me. You love him, and he loves you. :Don't sell him for my sake." - - " My dear child !'—$arkham's tone was tender enough now. " It is goad of you to speak like this," he continued; "itil1 I hsiee made np 'my mind to sell Ritseiter. T He gave me the ugliest half - hear of my life, and I can't forgive hi 19`' But he is not vicious ; oh, notreally it iwas my fault. I was hurt, and I took held of some words the wrong way. It is !very hard on Rossiter and on you, that he should be sold because I had a whim ;just a freak—no's more. Girls are always having freaks." ' r In this,instence the Break or whim nerly cost you'yourlife;" sellRossiter." - ' Nearly, but not quite., ;Please don't ' You remind me—" =said Markham. He clesed his lips before anymore words came out ; and moving a stepor two, stared fixedly out of the winow. There was a rustle of . drapery outside the door—it was opened wide, and Mrs. Ch tterton, Bee, Katie Douglas - and Cecil Grey, alt appeared on the scene. " Here we are," said Katie's gay voipe. "I found Cecil and Bee 'hunting for mosses. I broughtthem both up to- gether to eee you. How do you think ehe-is°looking, Mrs. Chatterton ?" " Very pale," said Mrs. Chatterton, steeping down and kissing Hope. " But you'll soon be better, dear, now. Thi doctor epeeks so cheerfully of you ; end I have heard from Bournemouth ; my sister can tike us both in next we4." "yin going too," cardBee. c IdO don't ntend to lose the fun ; I want to smell hepines once more. Mr.' Grey,' did ou ever try to catch a squirrel in the 3ou�nemon � i ?" th pine woods " I'll come next weeknd see.bow I can succeed ip your c6 pany, Mise Chatterton," laughed hack Grey; "Whit do you say, Markham, old man? -- hall we both run down to Bournemouth or a day' or two ? The sea -breezes won't do um any harm. What do yon say ?" There wail a babel of eager boices, in whi h Markham's reply, 'if he made one, , was quite inaudible. In the midst of the gay laughter and merry sounds,Mrs. Chatterton looked at Hope, and taw hat the pink flush was too bright on er cheeks. At the same time she also rem rked Markhat n was looking at the irl ith a rather peculiar gaze " ou can arrange all future meetings downstairs," she said. "Now, gentle- men, please soy good-bye to Mise Kar- ron. She is :very weak still; and must not be over -excited. Of course we shall Meet at Bournemouth. No one need look lugubrious. Bee, my dear, plgase take your friends downstairs." "►flood -bye," said M.arkban, to Hope. ' He took her,slim fingers in his, and gave:h©m almst a crush. " And, he never told me what he had tniade up his mind to do about Rossiter," thought the girl. " He never told me. He did hurt my hand when he said good by'ye.'1 , I No` one was there to look, not even Mrs. Qhattertlon, who was poking the lire and arranging curtains. Hope ✓ iced her slightly reddened fingers to her lips and kissed them. CHAPTER XVI. Markham and Grey had a compart- Ment to themselves' when they traveled black that afternoon to London. It was a bitterly cold day towards the latter e d of February. Markham, when not rhosed or excited or specially interested in things, was la very silent man. He was silent now, looking • straight before him. The window was; open; he was B itting by it, freeing the Jengine. `, You'll catch a sore throat or some- thing," said Grey, who, wrapped up in a thick ulster, was leaning back lux- uriously in the opposite seat. Markham continued to gaze out at the wintry►landecape without replying. It began to snow afresh, and a few flakes came innd rested on his shoulder. "Do you specially want rheumatic fit - Iver ?" putsued Grey, raising his voice once more, - , I Markham etured athim, gave a Blight shake to his big frame, seemed to wake tip, and answered cheerily. , " Not at all. I'll sit at this side by you, Grey. 1 want to have, a talk with ou." t" By all means. But might we -shut he window ?" " Of course." t 'Markham pulled it up with a bang: " Grey," he se.id suddenly, " I wish you would tell me what you know about Miss Karron." About Hope, or her sister ?"I "' Don't be provoking. I have only the pleasure of Mise Hope Karron's ac- qua►iutaice. Tell me what you know about her, Grely—I'm in earnest." Cecil dropped his bantering tone. I see you are," he said. "I thought you wereiintet'ested in her when you were so keen about selling Rossiter." I dop't want to know your thoughts about me, but about Mles Karron, at the pregent moment,'i' retorted Markham shortly. i "Ob, I have nothing but good to tell you. Good ? The best. I have known Hope all my life. She is not as beauti- ful ! as Jocelyn. Jocelyn` -has a way sbonit her' she quite comes over a fellow—yon can't withstand her any- how. Hope has not got that way, but I could imagine some people thinking her finer, Dottier. You don't love a girl for beingfine and noble, de you, Markham ?" , - " My dear=Grey, I never asked you to compare Mise Hope !with her sister. I can 'see pretty well for myself what sort of a girl she is. I only wanted to know something of her history. Yon need not tell me that she is a lady —anyone can see that. I don't care really either about -her birth a her father may have been anything, it makes no ; difference to me. Only I should like to know why she is so poor and lonely ; why she his abso- lutely :le, work for her living ; . the other sister appears to be wealthy -at least, eke is able to use the wealth of others ?" Grey colored slightly. -- - - " That's . just it," he said. "That's why some people would day. that Hope, was nobler than Jocelyn. It isn't that, really. The two girls saw things from differept standpoints. The aunt who adopted Jocelyn wanted to take Hope too, but Hope was offended about some- thing or ether. She thought this aunt had been unkind to her mother. t Any- how; she teak a whim against her, and wouldn't live with her or have anything teeny to her. So poor Jocelyn had to go eff alone. It must have been aeat trial to her, far she was so fond of Elope." " And what did Mise Hope do ?" " rbey lived at Downton, then, close to our plates ; that's how I get to kaow them both so well.
