The Brussels Post, 1890-11-21, Page 3Nov. 21, 1890. Stratton had all the blinds aid everything up a couple of days after you left, Po that the plane did not look very different. I met her twice in the High Street, and I saw her several timee eueploiouely near to our lines. But after a hew days she disappeared and I haven't seen her since.' 'I wonder if she will give it up as a hopeless case," said Ethel. 'You see, we shall be very difficult to trace out here. Wo have taken this flat, furnished, for six months—the name of the regular tenant is on the board down stairs, and we told the hall -porter not to pm onr name on. So oven if she gets a notion of going all round London, search- ing every block of flaw, she may come here and be no wiser. I hope now that she will giveit up, for now that she ie not on the scene Cosmo is quite a different man.' 'No more bruises ?' Trevor asked taking her hand. 'No more bruises—I told you at the time he did not meau to do it. 4I0 is rough and boieterons and he takes a good deal more than is good for him—and—and—there are other things. But he is not all bad and sometimes he is as nice as can be.' 'As nice as 1 em ?' half jealous l''You ere foolish, Jack, very fool- ish,' she said drawing her hand away. 'You know the answer to that question, so I shall not tell it to you.' 'Theo why should you take your hand away ?' 'Because it is better for you that 1 should.' It is not better. It is better for mo in every way that you should leave your hand always in mine. Oh l I know exactly what you would say, but I am right.' 'Perhaps—but I don't think so,' she answered. "But dont let tie waete our time quarrelling over trifles. Tell me, how much leave you bailie.' 'My long leave—two months.' 'And what are you going to do 2 Where are you going ?' 'I am going to stay in Town.' 'In Town 2' incredulously. 'Of course. Where else should I go 2' 'But I thought you would have bests of invitations—that you would be shooting and hunting, and doing a round of country bonitos.' 'Ttloueand thanks ; all the earns I'm going to stay in Town, Oh, I've had invitations—plenty of them— but 1 don't know a greater bore than country -hoose visiting. Besides, I've done it for five years now ; I've had enough of it. I'm going to en• joy this leave.' Ethel said nothing, but I eon - fees that her heart fairly jumped for joy, and she settled herself down amongst the soft and silken pillows of the lounge on which they were sitting, with an air of intense satin - faction, which was the prettiest com- pliment that she could possibly have paid the man who was watching her every look and movement with fond and jealous eyes. 'Bye the bye, how does Orumels get on 2' he asked presently. 'Pretty well,' she Bald. 'Judge takes him out every morning, unless I happen to have him out with me. Crumele ie always quite content to be where 1 am.' 'Sensible Orumles,' exclaimed Tre vor promptly. 'And how does Judge appreciate London life ?' 'I think he likes it immensely,' said .Ethel confidentially. 'You see, Jack, we have no servants here of our awn, excepting Judge and my maid, they provide all the servants ; we have nothing to do with them. But I have my maid, who is rather a prim and sour yoeug pereon, with 4i great ilea of being a beauty and an immense idea of being very stylish. Judge pretends—and I be- lieve it is only pretending—to be over head and heels in love with her. Zelle is divided between looking down upon Judge in every way and not being able to resist his flatteries ; and sometimes when my door is open I can hear them ekirmiabiug outside, and really it 18 most emus ing, for Judge lays on the flattery with a shovel, just as if he was try- big rying if he could see how much she •can take without finding him out.' 'Perhaps ho really is gone on her, poor chap,' suggested Trevor. 'I don't thiult so—I don't think so. For instance, the other morn- ing I was in my little boudoir writ beg a letter ; I had not shut the door after me and Zell° was in my room, the door of which is just op- posite the boudoir door. I hoard Judge Dome along the passage and knock at that boor. 'Yoe,Zeno said, tartly. "'Tia your itamble slave, Miss Zelie,' ho said in a weak voice, "would you be so very good and 80 kind as to ret mo go through this 'ere room to my master's droesing• room 2' 'Go through the regular door,' 1 PIE BRUSSELS POST answered Zello. 'I can't do with a great ultlqgeolilerdr dragoon in my mistresses apartment.' !The door is looked on the Inside, sweet, blushing rose,' said Jud more meekly still, 'Otherwise shouldn't make se bold es to ventu to tronblo my beautiful pearl.' ' 'I,' esi l Mrs. Dennis, 'was nearly choking with laughter,' but Zelle most graciously opened the door and lot him in. What passed after that I don't know, but Zelle was like au angel all the rest of the clay—just lute an angel.' 'And is site a boeutitul pearl 2' Jack asked. '0111 frightful,' cried Ethel gaily. It was wonderful how gay and light of heard alio seamed. Then she sent for Judge, who came wooden faced, stolid and apparently quite imperturbable, as if such thought as 'sweet blushing roses' and 'beautiful pearls' had never en. tared his mind in all his life. 'Judge—Mr. Trevor is going to stay to dinner,' his mistrees said. Judge saluted Mr. Trevor, who said, 'Well, Judge, how are yuu 2' and told Mrs. Dennis that he would attend to it. 'And wo are an going to tho theatre this evening ; you bad better go down to the bureau and see about tickets, Where shall we go 2' she asked of Trevor. 'Anywhere you please; it is all new to me, you know.' 'Then we'll say the Haymarket— they've got a lovely piece there, I believe—Captain Swift. flee if you can get stalls for the Haymarket, Judge.' 'Yee, mum. 'Three stalls, mum ?' 'Yes—three stalls—or a box, but not fur from the stage.' 'Very good, mum.' Trevor laughed as he closed the door. .'Judge must be a fine study when he is making violent love of blushing rose order. I wish I could hear them without being seen. By the bye, Ethel, have you got a theatre ticket place here.' 'No, but they have a telephone in the bureau. They find out any- thing for you in a few minutes, in any part of London. 011 l it is con- venient living here, I can assure you,' 'Very convenient for the Major's club, and very convenient for my rooms,' cried Trevor, laughing. 'And that reminds me that it is half past six now, and you and I both have to dress. What time Is dinner ?' 'We had bolter say a quarter past maven, or ,vo shall be so late, and I do like to see the beginning of a play. Cosmo is sure to be back in time for that.' And sure enough, within ten minutes of Trevor's going away Major Dennis Dame in. 'Ie Trevor coming back ?' he asked. 'Oh, yes ; he has gone to dross.' 'Have, you got seats 2' 'Yes—for the Haymarket.' 'That's good. By the bye, I saw Charley Ooventry at the club just now—I'fn going to dine with him to -morrow. You must get Trevor to take you somewhere or other.' 'And who is ()hurley Ooventry 2' 'Charley Coventry --why, 'pon my word, Ethel, I don't believe you've ever met him. He used to be a great pal of mine. We were at Eton to- gether. Jolly chap, Charley ; 1 must bring him to see you, one of these days.' Mrs. Dennis did not know it, but the graes had been growing over Charley Ooventry's grave for ninny and many a long year ; but it is oonveuieut sometimes to have a friend whose engagements never clash with yours, who will dine with you anywhere at a moment's notice and in Guy company yon like to select, Major Dennis had not thought of his old friend for many a day, but he raked him out of his quiet grave in the far-off Afrioan forest to do duty as a blind, without a moment's hesitation or compunc- tion. Poor Charley Coventry—Oes- mo Dennie had been his best friend once—truly the ways of friendship are wonderful. She started violently and pulled a r the as f almost entirely over liar face BO as to hide it from Ethel and Trevor, who were loft standing to, ge, gather, I 'Do you over go out to supper after re the tbsert° 2' he asked. 'If you do will you both come and have supper with me somewhere 7' 'No—Cosmo cannot bear these public suppor•rooms—he never lets me go to them ;' Ethel answered, 'thanks all the same. But you will go back with us—we have a very good supper room at the Flats.' 'Here's the carriage,' shouted the Major from the doorway. 'Tho Plate,' echoed Valerie, 'I have found him out at last 1' (TO BE 00NTINUED Wall, in due time Trevor returned and the little dinner of throe passed off quite as merrily as anyone could expect under the circumstaucee, and then they went off to the Haymarket, where Ethel oat between the two men in the stalls and cried over the sorrows of Captain Swift until her bee was all aflame and :ler eyes sore with the sad salt tears—where the Major went out between each act and missed one altogether, and Trevor sat still and quietly resisted all temptations to go and see how oeol it was outside, or to have "a whiskey' and soda after all this trig tdy," And when all was over and they were passing out towards the halt, hl:ejorDeunia turned back to Trevor and said, 'Trevor, you take caro of Ethel and 1'll find the carriage,' never noticing that ho had actually brushed up against Mademoiselle Valerie, who was just in the act of putting a black lace scarf over her head, • lOr the wers on levet y g grove TILE GUVPU W DER PLOT. BY AIRS. JOG. GILMORE♦ To the Loyal Orangemen and Sister True Blues assembled in Walton and else- where this 6th of Nov., 1890, to celebrate the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot. Loyal Orangemen assembled, This fifth of November night, To celebrate the victory Over Popery's creel might, Don't forget bo give the glory To the God of Abraham's race, And His all -protecting power, Manifested by His grace. In the overthrow of treason, And the fiendish powder plan, When England's king and her nobles Were to perish ase man, By the cruel hand of Garnet, Ono of Rome's great Jewish hawks, And his Papist aids and allies,w Cateoby, Digby and Guy Faks. Don't forget this, Orange brothers, And, in giving God the praise, Don't forget your good forefathers Of those Fond, historic days, Who gave favor, life and fortune Up for freedom, home and God; And for the Holy- Book, the Bible, Defied Rome's cruel iron rod. And in rendering to Jehovah Praise and gratitude to -night Don't forget, my Orange brothers, Our martyrs of the holy light ; When the Spanish great Armada, With her thirty thousand men, Came bo crush out young Britania, And to kill her virgin Queen. And when, seventeen years after, Popery tried to seal the fate Of England's Protestant Parliament, As in fifteen hundred end eighty-eight That God forsook us not, but rescued ; Add when by us shall be forgot This wonderful deliverance Prom that fiendish gunpowder plot. Bleok must bo the heart of treason, Dark the powers of sin and shame , All unworthy of God's goodness, Or a Christian's hallowed name. e Must a Protestant be who never Honors God, or blesses those Who preserved us from oppression And above all torture rose. Let us then, my Orange brothers, Ne'er forget the murdered throng, Who suffered death in all its terrors, Just one hundred thousand strong, By the fearful inquisition, And the cruel unjust decree, Instituted by the opponents Of true Christian liberty. Phillip, Ring of Spain, and Sixtus, Pope of Rome and Popery, Who ordained that all should perish Wbo refused to bow the knee To Rome's Churches and her idols, And her Romiah mummery ; Thus our glorious martyrs perished For religious liberty. Let us waft a prayer to heaven, Por their holy real, to -night, And that God may keep and guide us In their faith, and in the right ; And, like them, that we may cherish The religion of our Lord, And, with them, prefer to perish Bather than renounoe God's word. And let us, like Greek historians, Poeta, bards and muses, sing All the wonderful deliverances Gained for us by Ohrist our Ring. When we sing the glorious triumphs Of our God at the Red Sea, In the wilderness and ab Jordan, When He set His people free, Let us Bing His later triumphs, In the Armada's overthrow, And in giving Roman treason Such a nighty, fatal blow By the Gunpowder Plot discovery, Almost three hundred years ago, And by Ring William's victory Over the same ungodly foe. And, my loyal True Blue sisters, Let us ever faithful prove, And be fearloso in maintaining Liberty, and Truth, and Love Por the Protestant religion, And an open Bible, too, And to God and one another Lot as evermore prove true. Standing by our Orange brothers, Light the battles of the Lord With brave hearts and hands united, And, if needs bo, by the sword ; For our Cod, our home, our loved ones, We will stand up for onr rights, And, like Gideon, c.me off conquerors 'Gainat all unholy Midianites. Let 'No Surrender' be our motto As wo oontond for victory Lilco Deborah, nlarohing under God, We'll make the oppressors flee ; And we'll help to rout the traitors, Who destroyed our God-given power To Jesuits, Priests and Cardinals, For Roman votes, hi an evil Hone, With 'Go forward' for onr watohword, And God's light to guide onr feet; With the Gospel trumpet sounding, Error and tyranny roust :retreat, And we'll have a righteoue Party • Br our Legislative halls, [nimble And Remitted wrong and mime will As ,w we storm Jericho'sall. Then wo'll have no privileged olassea, And no poliliool serf or slnvo; For t are 1 e th ifl l f flo11' l o v a a into a tea mg, nun Will the power of woman's ballot, Noiseless so an angel's wing, Vote out wrong and euperetitlon, And the millenium usher in. There are 706 German papers in this country. Six brothers named Withers al Louisville, Ky., are said to be over e(x feet six inches in height, and their average weight is 101 pounds. Their mother is living at tlto age of 86 years.
