The Huron News-Record, 1889-05-01, Page 7The Huron News -Record $l•6o a Year—$1.25 In Advance. Weduesday. May. 1st. '1$8.9 hard, gathered her eyebrows auto a' resolute frown and vowed ttiat if she had lost her first innings she would be even yet with the Loudon world. Miss Wynne had not forgotten her vow, or else fortune favored her. A year later Mrs. Polsovel• died, leaving half her money to the lady helps, the other half to Jessica, who became almost an heiress. When six mouths hail passed, a paragraph appeared iu several Welsh papers containing the follow- ing intelligence : "We understand- that the beauti- ful Miss Jessica Wyuue will, at the expiration of her mourning, return 'to aoeiety !aa the bride of Captain Montgomery Swift. This gallant officer, now on leave, will, however, shortly after the honeymoon bo .compelled to join his regiment abroad." This anuuuucenlent, shorn of local hyperbole, gradually found its way into the Birmingham and ltfauchestor dailies, and finally drifted into oue or two Loudon papers. Mrs. Montgomery Swift took a ohm ming furnished house in May- fair; kept a perfectly appointed hfoughaut and victoria, procured her toilets from Perris and forthwith became the rage. Her gowns were copied, her repartee .quoted, her 5 o'clock at homes crowded. She gave neither dinners nor parties, availed herself of a few of the introductions obtained through the 'fressi1lians, who were abroad ; with charming impertinence lied pretty 'audacity dropped all the people elle considered bores, and plunged into the maddest whirl of social dissipa- tion. American girls gnashed their' teeth with envy when the little "grass widow'.' carried off their most hopeful admirers, do wage •s.frowned, young Matrons pureed their lips,_ rnothers of marriageable daughters were bitter, but Mrs. Montgomery Swift heeded them not, and reveled in her popularity. "Who the deuce is Captain Swift, and whore does he hang out?" queried a guardsman of a fellow warrior parting from Jessica, when she re entered her oarriage after her daily walk in the park. "Who cares a big D for the hus- band of a pretty woman ?" was the flippant answer. "He's somewhere on the gold coast, or in India, or at Saukini, she tells me ; .he might be dead and buried for all I .care— only it's much safer to know there's a husband somewhere ; and, to do the little woman justice, although she flirts to the nines, she does drag the captain in, pretty freely ; and even were he to mount guard over her like a watch dog, he wouldn't find much to make a rumpus about." "No," said the other, reflectively, pulling his moustache ; "it's a case of Canute and the sea—'just so far and no farther.' She's a ticklish one to deal with. • I don't quite slake her out." "She does pull a. follow up pretty shoat sometimes that's a fact; but she's awfully jolly—no confounded sentiment about her—not like those old stagers who run you in before you know where you are. She's rare fun, by Jove !" and he smiled with retrospective enjoyment. For once the verdict of clubs, mess rooms and smoking rooms was just ; Mrs. Montgomery Swift's morals were unimpeachable. With- out ostentation she frequently alluded to her absent consort, re- tailed passagee from his correspon- dence, bewailed the long exile and frequent changes entailed by his profession, wondered how long he would reinaiu in those outland- ish places where wives were an im- possibility, and occasionally reduced her admirers to frantic despair by announcing her intention of join- ing Captain Swift wherever he (night bo sunt next. When assured that such self -immolation would he madness she pensively concluded that perhaps it were wiser to await his return to civilization and Eng- land. Sometimes—not very often— Jessica was alone, and then she would look at herself in the glass and smile quaintly. "Isn't it funny ?" she murmured, scanning her features. "I ant sure I am not quite so fresh and pretty as I was two years ago, and I don't think I am nearly as nice. And yet—then nobody eveu looked at roe, while now—." Her eyes sparkled. "Oh, my blessed husband, what ,a service you have rendered ins ! And to think I shall never, never bo able to repay you ." Toward the middle of August, with the abruptness which character- ized all her movements, Jessica, without a word of warning to her courtiers, accepted an invitation to spend a fortnight in Scotland with a young married couple who had taken a house on Loch Lomond for two monthe. She had not been told whether or not there would be other guests, but she knew that the Bellunes had the knack of snaking people comfortable, and she felt just•a little tired of a surfeit of devotion, and inclined to escape from it and rusticate in compara- tive solitude. So one morning she found herself at St. Pancras station, and ttfheu her maid, previous to seeking her in a second -Class carriage, and settled her in a first-class one,- :with ne,:with hsis: books, ruga and dressing bag, she prepared for her long soli; tary journey with restful satisfaes tion. Hewover, just as the hour for dekarture had struck the door of her carriage was violently open.: ed, a military looking portmanteau and Case were thrust in, a guard exetitlimed, "Plenty of room just iu time—jump in, sir—thank you; sir !" and slatntned the door again upon a tall, handsome man, who had entered hurridly, and wha as the traiu steamed out of the station, looking rather disconcerted in find- ing himself tutu a -tete with a young, pretty and elegant womau. Before reaching Leicester the travelers had already exchanged a few commonplace civilities connec- ted with the pulling ep and down of windows, the loan of newspapers, etc. Instinctively they recognized that they belonged to the same social class; each discovered in the other a certain iudependent, uncon- ventional originality, and, like strangers meeting by chance at some dinner party, they soon began to converse on every possible subject. "Do you propose stopping at Edinburg?" said the gentleman, when, after Normauton and lunch, they had resumed their..seats. "For the night, pe-rhaps ; but I am hound for Iuversnrid," answer- ed Je,sice. "Ah !" with a slight start ; I hive sonlo,ftiends about there umy- self—relations." • "I wonder if they know ley friends at the Towers?'' "The Bollaues 1" ".Exactly." "\Vhy,Lora Bellune is my eousin, and I am on my way to see her." "How very smusiug 1 Well, I had an intuition that we should sleet again—in fact, I had quite mapped out your destiny before reaching Bedford." "Let us hear the horoscope— past, present, future ; the first will, if correct, bo a guarantee for credit- ing the last." "I consent to tell you what 1 think of you ; but only if you tell fete first who you think I am." "Would you be offended 'if I said a charming woman 1 Don't frown ; l have not said -it." "Be serious. ' Am I plaid, wife or widow V' "Not h miss, certainly," with a fine contempt on the noun. "Of course not, or you would not have deigned to be even decent- ly civil." "Frankly, I am at fault now. Is it wife ? Is it widow V' "I own there may be reason for a doubt. You see, it is difficult to be a widow without having been a wife, and, as men dou't starry girls now- adays, it is equally difficult to be a wife. However, as no other .status has boon invented, I have a hus- band." "And I no wife, although I have been married." "A widower ! 1[um 1 I should not have thought so." "No, not a widower, I was married without my knowledge, by mistake,—in default. The news- papers married me—I heard of it in India—and so persistenly that I got a three months' leave only to make myself' at free man once more. I left the P. and O. three days ago, and aw uta my way to the Bellunee to ask It ;sat they were about in allowing their nearest relative do be labelled ani over the world as book- ed and dime for." "A hard case, and .one deserving of much pity. So the indignity of wedlock has been put upon you. Accept my deepest sympathy." "You may laugh, but it wae, it is odious. All the fellows out there affect to believe it is true—that I am a derelict husband with a family. On landing hero I found no end of letters of congratulation. I dare not show thyself at the clubs. If at first 1 was inclined to treat the matter lightly, now I am doter mined to sift the whole thing, sue the libelers, and give a public denial—" "To the compromising accusation of matrimony ! eI would, if I were you." "I shall !" he said, sternly. They wore just steaming into the Carlisle station. Jessica remained alone while her companion smoked a cigar on the platfortn. She took advantage of the gathering twi- light to rise and, unperceived, to examiuo the label, on the hat box reposing in the rack. She had some difficulty in deciphering it, and fell back. into the seat as the owner of it stepped end© more into - the carriage. He fancied she look- ed very pale, and asked her if she was tiretl. She did not answer at once, but as soon as the train was fairly under way she said, abruptly: "Is your name Montgomery Swift?" "It is," ho said, surprised ; but glancing at the hat box, which lay in an altered position, he added : "Have yon guessed that, too, your fgrtune teller V' "Andyou call yourself a captain?" continued Jessica, in the same harsh -voice. "I do, till I become a major." "Impossible 1 There ie. not a Ceptaiti montggmery Swift in the whole British Army." "I reg your pardon, I am that humble offoor," "No, you are nut ; there is no such Ulan iu the array list—there was not a year age." , "Pussibly not at shat tithe, for a year ago I was Mouty Gordon. Last Christmas a geed old luau, who was my godfather, died and left 111e all his furl u11e and estates, on couditiuu that 1 should take and bear his name. I complied. A Swift was manufactured out of a Gordon. and yet remained u cap- tain. Under either . appellation, equally et your ' command. But now I must ask of your dressing bag the name introduction furnished by my hat box, and learn by what name [ can address my travelling incognita when I meet her again at the 'lowers." He quietly bout over the flap of Jessica's neat Russian leather bag but saw onl) the letters "J. S. A'L" "Ah," ho said, "the same initials as thine ;" then, interogatively, "they spell?" "Jessica Montgomery Swift." A dead silence followed, Jessica lay back against the cushions, ntutionless, with a Climsou Hush on her cheeks and forohtatl. Captain Swift felt thatsumo'painful mystery was abo it to he discloser( and that the wumau by his side was gather- ing 'sit t'tlgth fur a great effort. Re generously repressed every sign of curiosity or astonishment, ;mrd wall- ed her pleahure. A fier a few moments she turned toW.ird hint and spoke slowly and h esitttingly. "1 throw thyself 'upon you: male), Captain Swift, do not deny publicly to•ulorruw that you ever were married' to Jessica Wynne. Do not pursue those who origina- ted that—libel. Give sue time. 1 assure you I will do my utmost to undo whit 1 have duue." She looked very young and fair, with her earnest eyes and moist lashes. "What have you done ?" he said, sitnply. .'-Listen to tae, And forgive ale if you eau. When I first came to Loudon, at 18, I found it a horrid place ; only married women were admired,' petted and courted—wo girls were nowhere. So I'mado up my mind to conte back 'to town— married ; and as I had not a hus- band ,handy—they are so scarce, you know—I invented one, I thought I was quite safe. 1 waut- •ed him to bo an officer, because Eng- land has such a lot, of troops in places }There people never, go to. I looked all over the army and navy lists to make sure I did not choose a name belonging to any living man ; I christened him Montgomery Swift, haphazard ; I put the para- graphs in the papers. He was a very likely sort of a husband to have, you know, and it seems so natural that he should forever• be among the savages—auywhere. Nobody seemed to caro about him at alt ; but they did for his wife simply because she was not a girl, and it was all working beautifully. Oh, why did you turn up? Why did you have a Swift for a godfather? Why did he die?" "Would it have suited you to keep up this farce much longer V' said Captain Swift, gravely, but an amused look passed in his eyes. "Only a little while," said Jessica promptly. "I intended becoming a widow very soon—some of the climates out there are so unhealthy 0e one would have asked any ques- tions. Oue accepts anything in London when it is convenient to be credulous ; but if you are that horrid man please don't expose me yet." "Not till I aln dead, eh 1" " I can't make him out dead now," she said petulantly ; " but I will go away, hide myself, never show my face again." •` That would be a pity ; there Inust be some other way to achieve widowhood." " Don't be cruel—It is dreadful ! and I know I have been very fool- ish. But really," she added, with a resumption of her old quaint coquetry, " I can't do more than ask your pardon." " Yes you can ; you can ask for my advice," he said, extending his hand, " and on my honor as a gentleman, I will help you to get out of this scrape." They talked low .and earnestly for the remainder of the journey, At Edinburgh they shook hands warmly and parted. But neither Jessica nor Captain Swift went to the Towers. Two separate tele- grams informed Mrs. Bellune that her expected guests were unavoid- ably prevented from joining her party ; nor did Mrs. Montgomery Swift again gladden the hearts of her faithful swains by her presence at the fashionable resorts of late summer or early autumn. Three months later Jessica was walking on the seashore only a anile distant from a prett4' vil_1lt140 neer j3agni di Lucca, , iootfilig as fresh, crisp and fair fie before h%r fleet disastrolts Louden campaign, only there was a new tenderness in the dauciug brown eyes as she lifted ,thein trustfully to these of it tall men on whose arra 'hie;, small hand:;Posted:-,n ' • "'And so you are really, truly. not sorry that you never denied your marriage with Miss Wynne?" she said, coaxingly.
