The Huron Expositor, 1890-05-16, Page 2saa 2 Ilk LADY OF THE AROOSTOOK, BY W. D. HOWELLS. VI. (Continued from last week.) "One never can know what one's fel- low passengers are going to be," said Staniford, turning about, and looking not at Mr. Hicks' face, but hie feet, with an effect of being, upon the whole, dis- appointed not to find them cloven.. He added, to put the man down rather than from an exact belief in his own sugges- tion, " She's probably some relation of the captain's." " Why, that's -the joke of it," said Hicks, fluttered with his superior know- ledge. "I've been pumping the cabin - boy, and he says the captain never saw her till yesterday. She's au up -country school-marm, and she came down here with her grandfather yesterday. She's going out to meet friends of hers in Venice.'The little man pulled at his cigar, and coughed and chuckled,'' and waited confidently for the impres .ons , " Dunham," said Staniford, s fl hand you th sketch -block of mine to put in your bag, when we were packing last night?" " Yes, I've govt it." I'm glad of that. . Did you. see Mur- ray yesterday ?" "No ; he was at Cambridge." "I thought he was to have met. you at Parker's,"1 The conversation no • longer included Mr. Hicks or the subject he had intro- duced ; after a moment's hesitation, he walked away ,to another part of the ship. As soon as he was beyond ear -shot, Stan- iford again spoke : " Dunham, this girl is plainly one of those cases of supernatural innocence, on the part of herself and her friends, which, as you suggested, wouldn't occur among any other people in the world but ours." You're •a good fellow, Staniford !" cried_ Dunham. "Not at all. I call myself simply a human being, with the elemental in- stinctsof a gentleman, as far as concerns this matter. The girl has been placed in a position which could be made very painful to her. It seems to me it's our part to prevent it from being so. I doubt if she finds it at all anomalous, and if we choose she need never do so till after we've parted with her. I fancy we can preserve her unconscious- ness intact." " Staniford, this islikeyou," said his friend with glistening eyes. "I had some wild notion of the kind myself, but I'm so glad you spoke of itt,„ rat." Well, never mind," responded Stan- iford." " We must make her feel that there is nothing irregular or uncommon in her being here as she is. I don't know how the matter's to be managed, exactly ; it must be a negative benevo- lence for the -most part ; but it can be done. The first thing is to cow that nuisance yonder. Pumping the cabin - boy ! The little sot 1 Look here, Dun- ham ; it's such a satisfaction to me to think • of putting that fellow under foot that I'll leave you. all the credit -of sav- ing the younglady's feelings. I should like to begin stamping on him at once." • " I think you have made a beginning already. I confess I wish you hadn't such heavy nails in your boots !" " Oh, they'll do him good, confound. him !" said Staniford. " I should have liked it better if her name hadn't been Blood," remarked Dunham, presently. " It doesn't matter what a girl's sur- name is. Besides, Blood is very fre- quent insome parts of the State." "' She's very pretty, isn't she ?" Dun- ham suggested. Oh, pretty enough, yes," replied Staniford. " Nothing is so conime)n as the pretty girl of our nation. Her beauty is part of the general tiresome- ness of the whole situation." " Don't you _ think," .ventured his friend, further, " that she has rather a lady -like air ?" "She wanted to know," said Stani- ford, with a laugh. Dunham was silent a while before he asked, " What do you suppose her first name is ?" " Jerusha, probably." Oh, impossible !" " Well, then,—Lurella. You have no idea of the groteseaueneas of these peo- ple's minds. I used to see a great , deal of their intimate life when I went on my tramps, and chanced it among them, for bed and leoard, wherever I happened to be. We cultivated Yankees and the raw material seem hardly of the same race. Where the Puritanism has gone out of the people in spots, there's the rankest growth of all sorts of crazy here- sies, and the old scriptural nomencla- ture has given place to something com- pounded of the fancifulness of story - paper romance and the gibberish of spiritualism. They make up their names, sometimes, and call a child by what sounds pretty to them. I wbnder how the captain picked up that scoun- drel." The turn of Staniford's thought to Hicka was suggested by the appearance of Captain Jenness, who now issued from the cabin gangway, and came to- ward them with the shadow of unwont- ed trouble in,his face. The captain, too, was smoking. " Well, gentlemen," ;he began, with the obvious indirectness of a man not used to diplomacy, " how do you like your accommodations ?" Staniford silently acquiesced in Dun ham's reply that they found them excel- ' lent. " But you don't mean to say," Dunham added, "that you're going to give us beefsteak and all the vegetables of the season the whole way over?" " No," said the captain ; "we shall put you on sea -fare soon enough. But you'lllike it. You don't want the sarae things at sea that you do on shore ; your appetite chops round into a diferent quarter altogether, and you want salt beef ; but you'll get it good. Your room's pretty snug," he suggested. " Oh, it's big enough," said Staniford, to whom he had turned as perhaps more in authority than Dunham. " While we're well we only sleep in it, and if we're seasick it doesn't matter where we are." thought I'd better speak to you about him. I found him yesterday evening at my agent's, with his , father. Hes just been on a spree, a regular two - weeks' tearand the old gentleman didn't know what to do with him, on shore, shy longer. He thought he'd send him on a sea voyage, and .see what would come of it,and he pleaded hard with me to take him. I didn't want to take him, but he worked away at me till I couldn't say no. 1 argd inmy own mind that he couldn't get anything to drin on my ship, and that he'd behave hiffiself well enough as long as he was sober." The captain added—ruefully, "He looks worse this morning than be did last night. He looks bad. I told the old gentleman that if he got into any trouble at. Try -East, or any of the ports . where we touched, he shouldn't set foot on my ship again. But I guess he'll keep pretty i straight. He hasn't got any money, for one thing." Staniford laughed. " He stops drink- ing for obvious reasons, if for no others, like Artemus Ward's destitute inebri- ate. , Did. you think only of us in deciding whether yon should take him ?" The captain looked up quickly at the young men, as if touched in a sore place. " Well, there again, I didn't seem to get my bearings just right. I suppose you mean the young . lady ?" Staniford motionlessly and silently assented. " Well, she's more of a young lady than I thought she was, when her grandfather first came down here and talked of send- ing her over with me. He was always speaking about his little girl, you know, and I got the idea that she was about thirteen, or eleven, maybe. I thought the child might be some bother on the voyage, butthinksI, I'm used to child- ren, and I guess I can manage. Bless your soul ! when I first seen her on the wharf yesterday, it most knocked me down ! I never believed she was half so tall, nor half so good-looking." Stan- iford smiled at this expression of the cap tain''s despair, but the captain did not smile. " Why, she was as pretty as a bird 1 Well, there I was. It was no time then to back out. The old man wouldn't understand. Besides, there was the young lady herself, and she seemed so forlorn and helpless that I kind of pitied her. I thought, What if it was one of my own girls ? And I made up my mind that she shouldn't 'know from anything I said or did that she wasn't just as muc at home= -and just as much in place my ship as she, would be in my house suppose what made me feel easier about -t, and took the queerness off some, was my having my own girls along last voyage. To be sure, it ain't quite the same thing," said the captain, interrogatively. "Not quite," assented Staniford.- " If there was two of them," said the captain, "I don't suppose I should feel so bad about it. But thinks I, A lady's a lady the world over, and a gentleman's a gentleman." The captain looked sig- nificantly at the young men. " As for that other fellow," added Captain Jen- ness, if I can't take care of him, I think I'd better stop going to sea, alto- gether, and go itouthe coasting trade. He resumed is cigar with ,defiance, and was about rning away when Stan- iford spoke. " Captain Jenness, my friend and I had been talking this little matter over just before you came up, Will you let me say that I'm rather proud of having reasoned in much the same direction as yourself ?" This was spoken with that air which gave Staniford a peculiar 'distinction, and made him the despair and(adoration of his friend : it endowed the subject with seriousness, and conveyed a senti- ment of grave and noble sincerity. The captain held out a hand to each of the young men, crossing his wrists in what seemed a favorite fashion with him. " Good 1" he cried, heartily, "I thought I knew you." The captain knocked the ash from his cigar with the tip of his fat little finger, and looked down. "I was in hopes I could have let you had a room apiece, but I had another passenger jumped on me at the last minute. I suppose you see what's the matter with. Mr. Hicks ?" He looked up from one to another, and they replied with a glance of perfect in- telligence. " I don't generally talk my passengers over one with another, but I THE MORON EYPOSITOft. DUNCAN & DUNCAN, get upon the land. That's why I've got - upon the water." Staniford laughed again, and pulled comfortably at his cigar. " Now, you," he added, after a pause, in which Dunham did not reply, " you have not had losses ; you still have everything comfort able about you. Dq hast A Iles was Menschen - begeh'er, even to the schonsten Augen of the divine Miss Hibbard." " Yes, Staniford, that's it. I hate your going out there all alone. Now, if you were taking some nice girl with you 1" Dunham said, with a lover's fond desire that his friend should be in love, too. - To those wilds ? To l: redwood shanty in California, or a turf hovel in Colorado ? What nice girl . would go ? ` I will take some savage woman, she shall rear my dusky raoe.'" "I don't like to have you take any risks of degenerating," began Dunham. "With what you know to be my natural tendencies ? Your- prophetic eye prefigures my pantaloons in the tops of my boots. Well, there is time yet to turn back from the brutality of a patri- archal life. You must allow that I have taken the longest way round in, going West. In Italy there are many chances ; and besides, you know, I like to talk." It seemed to be an old subject between them, and they' discussed it languidly, like some abstract topic rather than a reality. " If you only had some tie to bind you to the East, I should feel pretty - safe about you," said Dunham, pres- ently. " I have- you," answered his friend, demurely. " Oh, I'm nothing," said Dunham, with sincerity. " Well, I may form some tie in Italy: Art may fall inlove with me, there, How would you like to have me settle In Florence, and set up a studio instead of a 'ranch,—choose between sculpture and painting, instead of cattle and sheep ? After all, it does grind me to have lost that money ! If I had , only been swindled out of it, I shouldn't have cared ; but when you go and maks, a bad thing of it yourself, with your eyes open, there's a reluctance to place < the responsibility where it belongs that - doesn't occur in the other case. Dun- ham, do you think it altogether ridicul- ous that I should feel there was some- thing sacred in the money ? When I ,..remember how hard my poor old father worked to get it together, it seems wicked that should have ,stupidly wasted it on the venture I did. ' I want to get it back ; I want too make money. And so I'm going out to Italy with you, to waste more. I don't respect myself as I should if I were on a Pullman pal- ace car, speeding -westward. I'll own I like this better." " Oh, it's all right, Staniford," said his friend. " The voyage will do you good, and you'll have time to think everything over, and start fairer when you get back." " That girl," observed Staniford, with characteristic abruptness, " is a type that is commoner than we imagine in New England. We fair people fancy we are the only genuine Yankees. I guess that's a mistake. There must have been a good many dark Puritans. In fact, we always think of Puritans as dark, don't we ?" " Ibelieve we do,". assented Dunham. " Perhaps on account 'of their black clothes," °` Perhaps," said Staniford. "At any rate, I'ni so tired of the blonde type in fiction that I rather like the other thing in life. Every novelist rune a blonde heroine ; I wonder why. This girl has the clear Southern pallor ; she's of the olive hue ; _and her eyes are as black . as sloes,—not that •I know what aloes are, Did she remind you of anything in par- ticular ?", " Yea ; a little of Feed's Evangeline, as she sat in the doorway of the ware- house yesterday."_ " Exactly. I wish the picture were more of a picture : but I don't know that it matters. She's more of 'a pic- ture." " ` Pretty as a bird,' the captain said." " Bird isn't bad. But the bird ie in her manner. There's something tran- quilly alert in her manner that's like a bird like a bird that lingers on its perch, looking at you over its shoulder, if you come up behind. That ttick of the heavily lifted, half -lifted eyelids,— I wonder if it's a trick. The long lashes can't be ; she can't make them curl up at the edges. Blood,—Lurella Blood. And she wants to know." Staniford's voice fell thoughtful. "she's more slender than Feed's Evangeline. Faed painted rather too fat a sufferer on that tombstone, Lurella Blood has a very pretty figure. Lurella. Why- `Lurella ?" Ob, come, Staniford ?" cried. Dun- ham. " It isn't fair to call the girl by that jingle without some- ground for it." " I'm sure her name's Lurella, for she wanted to know. Besides, there's as much sense in it as there is in any name. It sounds very well. Lurella. It is mere prejudice that condemnsthe novel collocation of syllables." " I wonder what she's now,—what's passing in mused Dunham aloud. " Yon want to know, too, do you ?" mocked his friend. " I'll tell you what, processions- of young men so long that they are an hour getting by a given point. That's what's passing in every girl's mind—when she's thinking. It's perfectly right. Processions of young girls are similarly passing in our stately and spacious intellects. It's the chief business of the youth of one sex to think of the youth of the other sex." Oh, yes, I know," assented Dun- ham ; " and I believe in it, too"— " Of course you do, you wicked wretch, you -abandoned Lovelace, you bruiser of ladies' hearts ! You hope the procession is composed entirely of your- self. What would the divine Hibbard say to your goings-on ?" "Oh a don't Staniford ! It isn't fair," pleaded, Dunham, with the flattered laugh which the best of men give when falsely attainted of gallantry. " I was I wondering whether she was feeling homesick, or atrange, or " " I will go below and ask her," said Staniford. " I know she will tell me the exact truth. They always do. Or if you will take a guess of mine ' instead of her word for it, I will hazard the sur- mise that she is "not at all Homesick. What has a pretty young girl to regret in such a life as she has left ? It's the moat arid and joyless existence under Continued -On 3rd page.) VII. Staniford and Dunham drew stools to the rail, and sat doyen with their cigars after the captain left them. The second mate passed by, and cast a friendly glance at them ; he had whimsical brown eyes that twinkled under his cap peak,while a lurking smile played under his heavy mustache ; but he did not speak. Staniford said, there was a pleasant fellow, and he should like to sketch him. He was only an amateur artist, and he had been. only an amateur in life otherwise, so far ; but he did not pretend tohave been anything else. " Then you're not sorry you came, Staniford ?" asked Dunham, putting his hand on his friend's knee: He charac- teristically assumed the responsibility, although the voyage by sailing -vessel rather than steamer was their common whim, and it had been Stanifords pre- ference that decided them for Trieste rather than any nearer port. "No, I'm not sorry,—if you call it come, already. I think a bit of Europe will be a very good thing for the pres- ent, or as long as I'm hin this irresolute mood. If I understand it, Europe is the place for American irresolution. When I've made up my Mind, I'll come home again. I . still think Colorado is the thing, though I haven't abandoned Cali- fornia altogether ; it's a question of cat- tle-range and sheep -ranch." You'll decide against both," said Dunham. " How would you like West Virginia? -They cattle range in West Virginia, too. They may sheep -ranch, too, for all I know,—no, that's in Old Virginia. The trouble is that -the .Virginias, 'otherwise irreproachable, are not paying fields for such enterprises, They say that one is a sure thing in California, and the other is a sure thing in Colorado. They give you the figures." —Staniford lit another cigar. _ " But why shouldn't you stay where you are, Staniford ? You've money enough left, after all." " Yes, money enough for one. But there's something ignoble in living on a small stated income, unless you have some object in view besides living, and I haven't, you know. It's a duty I owe to the general frame of things ' to make more money." " If you turned your mind to any one thing, I'm sure you'd succeed wheretyou are," Dunham urged. " That's just the trouble," retorted his friend. "I can't turn my mind to any one thing,—I'm too universally gifted. I.paint a little,I model a little, I play a very little indeed ; I can write a book notice. • The ladies praise my art, and the editors keep my literature a long time before they print it.
