THE DAILY BULLETIN. VRRI HORNINO (HONDATI linRIIII. OFFICIAL PA PICK OF CITY AND COrNTV THE PHONOGRAPH WITNESS. K7 V. 9 M. C II A P T r H I. In Ibo whole town ol Kldriilco, N. Y., there u not more milmpi'y nmn, on a pertain morning in JVerniln-r, ltfbtl, lh:ui Mr. Luther Tcnnit 1. It would have been difllcult for tli i iiMiiil observer, or oven a mere Acquaintance, to see any reason for it, however. The owner of an elrgnnt mansion, the pernor partner in the wealthy and prosper ous bankinc house of Tenuiel & Courtney, a man highly enteeined unions his fellow citizens amf one whose name had jrono unscathed amid the wreck of eointneivial integrity and business reputation which had rharaeterized the husincw renters of the country in the previous decade; so much o, indeed, that even hcyond the limilA of liia own country, the name of Luther Tenuiel commanded respect lis a ynunym of commercial honor; it was ihde'u difficult to imagine that Mr.Tcnnicl was in unhappy man. A peep into Mr. Tcnniel' home on ordinary occasions would have rendered his misery Mill more Incomprehensible, for in it would have been found numerous sins of domestic happiness and refinement; anile, the beau ideal of matronly dignity and womanly tenderness, and a daughter, an only child, who seemed to unite in her mind and per son all the admirable trails, mental and physical, that characterized both of her parents. Helen Tcnniel, at nineteen, was deservedly the. belle of the town, mid her first party sine1 her return from Europe, which had taken plarc only a few weeks prior to the time when our tale begins, had been the great event of Kldridge social hie, and only srrved to confirm the almost unanimous verdict which had awarded her the palm for grace, beauty, and accomplish ments, on her return to her native place, after an absence of over a year. Still, for all this, Mr. Tcnniel, as we said before, was unhappy; truly and utterly unhappy, as any one could have seen, who had been permitted to enter his elegant home on the morning we speak of. Mr. Tenniel's clouded brow and agitated manner, would of themselves have fur nished suflicic nt evidence of the harassed mind and disappointed hopes of their owner, while conviction would have been made doubly sure by a glance at Mrs. Tenniel'g gentle look of sorrow and dis may, and Helen's tearful face. "Helen," said Mr. Tcnniel, "yon had better leave us for a few minutes. I wi?h to sneak with your mother alone." Mr. Tenniel's lone and manner were not harsh, but nevertheless they indicated plainly enough that displeasure with his (laughter had a large share in his ill leelings. The voting lady rose without speaking, and, giving a glance at her mother which maid as plainly as a look could, that in her lexicon there was no such wind as yield, left the room, Mr. Tcnniel stood for a few minutes look ing out upon the lawn, the frown deepening upon his face, and the fingers of one hand nervously tapping the knuckles of the other liehind his back. At last, with an impatient gesture, he turned and said to his wife: "Mrs, Tcnniel," (it was an evidence of Mr. Tenniel's exasperation that he so ad dressed his wife, in this formal and for him quite unusual manner,) " Mrs. Tcnniel, I must leave to you the pleasant task of bringing Helen to reason in regard to this foolish attachment. It is utterly unreason able, and I do not propose to put up with it. I shall speak to fiCighlon to-day, in such a way as to put an end to the whole matter, as" far a-s . is concerned, and I shall cxicrt vou to have brought Helen to her senses when I return." "An rasy task, truly," was Mrs. Tenniel's reply. " Ilclrn is too like her father to be mauaged in this way. 1 am very sorry that you die! not take my advice wucu we first came back from Europe." " Well, well," replied Mr. Tcnniel, it is too late to tal k about that now. If Helen Is like her father she w ill feel it her duty to abide by her father's derision. I must say, I do not sec that she much resembles her father in this silly and romantic attach ment Come, Mary," he added, in a more gentle tone, " vou really must help ine iu this matter. 1 know you thoroughly agree with me in deploring Helen's persistence in this matter, llu haid Courtney is just rut out for her; he i certainly oYvc'edly fond of her. and his father, as well as my self, have set our hearts on the match. It is so eminently suitable in every w.ij, it seems almost 'like selfishness in Helen to oppose us." mere was a town t nunmr m Mrs. Tenniel's tone, nlihouh the smile was sad that accoiup:iiii d In I words when she replied: Luther, did you many to Jilea.e others, or to please ourself? " This was snmeiliiii n' a home thrust, inasmuch us Mr. Tenniel's own marriage had been persisted in, in direct opposition to the w islies of his nun father, although favored by Mrs. Tenniel's own family. "At least in mvci-e," was the gallant rejoiwlet " experience has proved that my choice was a w ise one; but there are no grounds for expecting kiuIi results in Helen's case. (Jood hve; I know yoti w ill do your best to settle this mailer as we all desire, and if Helen can withstand her father's displeasure, she eeitainly cannot hold out against her mother's tender remonstrances." The frown on Mr. Tenniel's brow had well nigh disappeared, as he left the house ami sli pped into the coupe that was to convey hint to his ofliee. The vehicle had not prof ruled far, how ever, hi lore the driver rejmd up in obedi ence to a vigorous pull at the check strap, and Mr. Tcnniel threw ojen the door of his carriage, with a cordial motion of his hand toward a singular loi king old gentle man, who was hurrying nl r g in the same direction as himself. "Ah! glad to see you, Luther, glad to tee you," were the first words of this indi vidual, as be unceremoniously jumped into the vehicle, and took his seat beside Mr. Tcnniel. Tell that man of jours to drive fast. I have not a moment" 0 lose, not a moment! liut what's the mutter with you? lly .love! Luther, yon look actually lugubrious; -you, who ought to be the happiest man in the whole State, I'pon my word, It is positively ungrateful lor a man like you to look lugubrious." " My dear Kit-hard," was Mr. Tenniel's reply, "you do not know what you hay. I am annoyed beyond meiumrc about a silly attachment Helen has permitted herself to form, or to imagine she has formed, for that young Jx-ighton. A good fellow enough, but a most undesirable match for Helen. Now 1 want you to help me break this thing up. You were an old friend of Leighton'i father, and I want you to give him some good advice In this matter. Moreover, I want you to use your influence with Helen. You know what weight I'nric Dick's counsels have always had with her." Kichanl Fellows' face was grave, as lie replied to bin old friend; "Luther, if Helen really returns the love w hich I have no doubt this young man feels for her, do not oppose them Lemember your own case; give her credit for as much sense in ber choice, as you showed in yours, and do not oppose her rashly. She is too like lier father to be tn;iimv-'l in Mint w ay." Mr. Tcnniel bit bis lip with some pclu. lance, at this rt-pt't i i i"ti, in unotherqunrter, of his w ife's words. After a pause, he rctnatked: "Well, Richard, I supposed I could depend on you. However, It seems I was mistaken. Nevertheless, I w is!) to say to you now, in the most positive iiiuiiucr, thai Helen tiu never, with my pci mission, marry LMwnrd ICighton. 1'crhai'S lor hi fake you may feel disposed U lek'iM' him atia'tust iniliii gencc in any foolish hopes, lly the way, to change the subject, 1 wish you would 'step in to-day and adjust tlmt phonograph. I do not si cm to quite understand the work incs of it." Mr. l-'cllows bavin'.! a rented, the inter view between the two old friends came to an end, ns the coop' drew up before the banking house of Tei'iiieUV ( ourtney, and Mr. Tcnniel, bavin'.' in-irneied the "driver lo convey Mr. 1-Yllnv to his destination, alighted. In explanation ol' tin- hist words that passed between li e irimds, it should he stati d that Mr. tMlow was an eccentric, scientist, who h ill been, in his younger days, an enthusiastic t'l i nd and admirer of the inventor of ibnl wonderful machine, which some ti n "M y(-,,rs prior to the lUte at which our s'.c-.v'bc im-. bad been the object of so tiiuiii curiosity throughout America, and ii.-h -d ilii'Mi-hoiii die world. Mr. Fellow'' Ui.-ies mid pursuits had led him into close and i;;: siu.iti (.-ciit.ii I. vv ith the inventor, an-1 hew is, indeed, himself lhepalcnieepfo.il- or r,vo improvements on Mr. I'Misoif.. invention, which now afforded him a i-mni'i.! i competence. Numerous and o.;i.mi.iiu.,ry m wen.' the various uses to wliieh mis wonderful in vention had been p;i;, Mr. fellows had only recently, in con'ptu m n wiili ilie imeiitor, peifecti'd the m.n li.iie, ,ir.- in j out ci rtain principles in rev i: l to th wavesof sound, iu such a way a- io ini-Iei il capable ot receiving and n jim U-.:t .dl sounds w it'u in a certain radiu w ,e il" t :-poki n into or CU toward it. H'oid.'d :- :e 'I 1.1'liliS V.e.'e Inclosed in a certain manner. Within a few inontli-i a private ofliee had been built in th'- i:it: iiuin-ni of Tcnniel A; (,'ourlney, under the supervision fit .Mr. Fellows" the object of which, beyond in apparent tiso ns a private ollice and con sulting room, was unknow n to all hut the members of the linn and the originator, so at least tbese gentlemen supposed. Its real object, however, hud been the introduction in the ceiling of the room of one of these improved phonographs; w hieli, htivimr been set ami coin:; by elm -k-wtuk, recorded faithfully all that transpired therein, for the space of twelve hours at. a time. In mouth was skillfully devised, so as not to attract particular attention, while it was manipulated through an opening in the lloor above, which was closed by a door opening by pressure upon a sprin::, ilM-lf regulated by a revolving dial. It wasoun: hitch in the working of ibis contrivance that Mr.Tcnnicl had applied to Mr. Fellows to rectify. A trilling accident had revealed the object of this chamber to Helen, and her love for Leighlon, as well as her dread that some indiscreet words uttered iu the impending interview with her father would be in efTiiecably recorded, had overcome her discretion, and she had intrusted KdwarJ Leighton with the secret. Cll UTKIt, II. Edward Leighton had been wont to call Helen Tcnniel his sweetheart in thuiri-hild-hood, when his father was mill one of tin.' leaditi' men of the town ; and .Mr. Tcnniel, though not as intimate with him as Kirh. srd Fellows, had regarded him in every way as a desirable acquaintance. lie-verses, however, had attended Mr. Leiijliton's later years, and after an absence from Eldridge of one or two years, hu died, poor and broken-hearted, and was soon followed to the grave by his wife, a woman whose health, at all times poor, had completely given way under , her load of sorrow and adversity. Kdward Leighton, their only child, found himself al sixteen an orphan, and utterly without means of subsistence. It was then that Mr. Fellows, using his good ofnecs with Luther Tcnniel, secured the lad a position in Tcnniel it Courtney's bank, in which he had risen, in the course of six or seven years, to a position of trust and responsibility. I'nl'orlunately (or him, he had, as time wore on, and Helen Tcnniel developed into a charming girl of sixteen or seventeen, allowed his once childish feelings to ripen into a genuine, devoted love, which Helen returned wilh all the intensity of her ardent mid de'ermined nature. As soon as this state of things was discovered, Mr. Tcnniel decided on a trip to Kttropn as a sure cure, and great was his disappointment when, a few months after his return, he discovered that notwith standing a year's absence, the old I'l'. -5 had new r died out, and that his cure only served to, if possible, aggravate the disease. A short time before the scene described in tit foregoing chapter, Mr. Tcnniel had given Helen a certain limit of lime to break olT all intercourse, with the threat that if his wishes were not complied with, he would then speak lo Leighton himself, and tender him the, alternative of a permanent, position and rapid promotion in the employ of Tenniel it ('ourtney, in case he would engage, to abandon all" claims upon Helen, and restrict his intercourse w ith her to the merest acquaintance, promising further to send him to Europe for a time, in the interest of the concern, in order lo render this courso more easy, or of immediate discharge, with nolhing hut a good recom. inendation as to ability and integrity, and a month a salary in advance, in case iu: should persist in his attentions to Helen, or decline lo release her absolutely from any " absurd engagement," as Mr. Tcnniel styled it, which might exist Itel wren them. This threat he had prepared himself to carry out that very morning, but the reference to the state of the phonograph, made to his friend Mr. Fellows, had led him into a train ol thought which, for the moment, deferred the execution of his plans. Mr. Tcnniel was naturally a man ol houur, and any thing underhanded was completely foreign to his character; but what will not man saerillc.e to his idol? Every man for whom things tmiiiiorfU are of the highest importance, worships some idol; and for this idol, whether ambition, wealth, or Jove, the honest man vvill compromise his integrity, the proud man will swallow his pride, the generous man vill stitle ids affections. It hat cost Mr. Tennicil some sacrifice of his n.iturally honorable nature, to con- scut to the construction ot this invisible eavesdropper, and it was only owing to the urgent and persistent solicitations ol Mr. Fe'lows, who was sincerely desirous, from scientific motives solely, of practically illtts. tratingthc effect of his Improvements, that he finally yielded, and allowed the litres sary alterations to be made in the private ollice. So far, the experiment hud not lieen altogether suecesslul, and although li few days previous Mr. Fellows had suc ceeded in bo accurately reproducing, two or three, times in succession, words, unci even sentences, littered by Mr. Tenniel, that THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN: both gentlemen pronounced it completely suecesslul, u second tttvl third trial, con ducted v, ithoiit Mr. Fellows' assistance, had proved lajluies. Mr. Tenniel had no doubt, however, that thee; failures were duo to .some inaUc ntinii t.idi tail iu their adjustment of the Instru ment, mid that Mr, Fellows would be able at once to rectify the delect, This thought had suirgested another, which few people who knew Mf. Tenniel would have thought him likely to inilulire in. Uut Mr. Ten niel's idol was his will, and to witisfy that he felt willing to use all the weapons at his coiiimaiul. if he could only by fair prom iscs of brilliant prospects by the strongest inducements- oil'erc d to this young man's ambition, wring iVwii him soinu word or expression unworthy of a true and devoted love, sue It as Helen, he well knew, would expert from the man to whom she had given her heart, and give her by means of liiis terrible, because unseen and Irrefutable witness, convincing evidence thereof, would he not succeed in detaching her alleeiion from him, and perhaps tmlu-titute iu lu-r heart aversion for love? A few moments of mental conlliet, all too brief, alas! and this course was decided on and the interview postponed until anoihi r day when Mr. Fellows would have got the apparatus oncct more into good working order. The crisis wh'r'i Ldwaru Leighton, fore warned by llel .i was awaiting, did not oc cur thai day. ' I Tenniel, w ith a self-control which wa's 1..- second nature where his mind was m ci up, cave no outward sign of agitation, mid I'.dward began to feel almost encoiiiagcd to hope, that for once probably the first lime, in his life, he was going to forego his own wishes for the sake ol his daughter's happiness. Vain hope! The greater part of that day was spent by Mrs. Tenniel in sadness, by' Helen iu sus pense, by Ivl ward in alternate anxious hopes au'd fears, by Mr. Tenniel in subdued auger mingled with a little shame at tho underhanded course he had decided up-ui, and by Mr. Fdows, and by him alone, contcnte-llv, in investigating" re-arranging and adjusting A.1 idol, wilh all the eiithu siaMii ol a di-vini d worshipper, until at hu-t he b id the satisfaction of limling it worked to perfection. " Now mind you test iL to-morrow," were his parting words to Mr. Tcnniel, as he showed him for tho last time how- lo wind it so as to cause the plate to revolve, " it is ;:! ready. Set and everything, and if you , i w ind it, without "disturbing it in any wa ;, i: v 11 go without intermission for twelve, hours, and will record all soiind.i occurring in this room during that time." C H A V I F. 11 III. I', is about time that we should introduce to our readers two other personages, who will have important parts to play in the events we are about to narrate. Mr. Merlon Courtney, Mr. Tenniel's part ner, was quilc a contrast lo his senior. A! llion ;!i of tin- same age, he looked muc h younger. A smile was ever on his lips, bill tie! smile was always the same, indeed, lo a, skilled physiognomist, il conveyed no sense of pleasure or hilarity hilarity, did we say? That was an emotion that never had a place in Merlon Courtney's breast. His whole manner was of Ihe suave and impressive order. He was a great favorite: w ith Ihe ladies, young and old, never losing an opportunity to render to tlirm those little attentions which are: so dear to the fair, or us Mr. Anthony Hutu in styled them, the soft se:x. To .Mrs. Tenniel he was Ihe personification of a perfect gentleman "kindly, courteous, christian gentleman," sho used to call him, and deeply did she resent Helen's criticism of him (i'or Helen never liked him) that you never knew whether he wa.i sincere or making fun ol you. While not so great a favorite with the male as with tho female portion of tho population of Lldredge, he might yet be siyled a thoroughly popular man. Even Ihose w ho did not like him pe rsemally ad milled his ability and general popularity, and the result was that alter having tilled various minor political ollices, he had sonic fix years previous been elected to Congress, and' kept his .seat ever since, having indeed met with no opposition worth mentioning until the: last election, when party politic had run particuiarly high, and the contest, even in his district, had been bitter, and hi. seat secured to lum by u comparatively small majority. Kichard Courtney, his son, was a young lawyer ol considerable ability; a thorough mail of the world, notwiihstanding his youth; one who, to an excellent education, had added the advantage of two years travel in Europe, and enjoyed the reputa tion, easily acquired by a rich man's son, who, insli-ad of relying upon his father's wealth and social position, shows himself equal to carving out his fortune for him self. Kichard Courtney was a truly devoted admirer of Helen Tenniel, and Helen re turned his ardent feelings wilh a simple feeling of friendship, which, while far from satisfactory to a lover, was, perfectly gen uine, notwiihstanding her antipathy to his faiber. Kichard Courtney was indeed a noble fellow, but it must be confessed that he partook more of the nature of his mother, w ith whom, until her death, a sheirt time be fore: the date at w hich we write, he had maintained relations of a fraternal rather than a strictly tllial character. It w;is only after the strongest assurance of his father that Mr. Tenniel would neve r permit a marriage between his daughter and Edward Leighton that he, had per mitted himself io pay more than ordinary atlentions to Helen, endeavoring mean while to persuade himself that Ihe apparent attachment to Leighton was merely the friendship of early days. U was under these inline -nces that, on the very day when Mr. Tenniel, having made all his arrange inents, summoned Leighton to a conference in his private ollice, Kichard Courtney pre. sen tec 1 himself at the Tenniel mansion, and having been duly admitted to an audi, enee with Helen, then and Hitc made her a formal offer of his heart and hand. We need not dwell on this interview. Its result will have been anticipated by the reade r, and we will merely stale, that while it was almost as painful lo the generous hearted girl to be compelled to cause sorrow to a friend, whom she highly esteemed, as it was to him to hear it, yet each one, after the interview was over, appreciated the other's worth better than before, and Rich aril was no longer left in doubt as to Helen's true feelings for Edward Leighton. The interview between Edward himself and Mr. Tenniel was, as may bo supposed, of a most unsatisfactory character. Edward Leighton proved firm, or, ns Mr. Tcnniel styled it, pre sumptuously obstinate, and certainly Mr. Tenniel's own obstinacy was never more strongly displayed, It diil not take long for tho persistent lover and the obdurate father to conic to a conclusion, and w ithin two hours a check for the bal anco of the current month's salary nnd the month following was lying on Edward Leighton's desk, and pinned to it was a brief letter of recommendation signed by Mr. Courtney, nnd referring in high terms to Edward's 'v nnd integrity. Within r hour ho had left the bank, a frown on u brow and bitterness in his heart. Tho first person bo met on the street wtis Richard Courtney, who slop ped him, with the remark: "What's the matter, Leighton? It Is not usual to see you leaving the bank tit this hour of tho day." SUNDAY MOltNlNir, MARCH fl, 1881. Kichard Courtney tried to speak naturally as he addressed his, in one sense, success ful rival, but his ell'ort at self control im parted a constrained tone lo his voice, which Ihe other attributed ton totally dif ferent cause. His voice Ireinhli'd with agitation as lie replied, advancing his pal lid lace towanl Courtney's in a manner almost approaching a threat: ' You know hut loo well what is the matter, Mr. Court ney. Such a remark from you, at such u lime, is an insult, liut your triumph w ill be short-lived I can tell you, and old Lttlher Tenniel will rue his part in Ihis matter ere long." Uiehard Courtney made a motion ns If to deprecate the other's action, but with an Impatient gesture Leighton strode by him. In a very short time afterward, "Helen received from a messenger hoy the follow ing note: "I h tiilke-il wllli ymir falhfr. I nm tlUrhHrwcl fri'in tlic lih k. Meet mih at lit l.rl 1'nai I nnd l.liailreulb, I muiUt-u yuu. Ai ovor, your own, KUWAIIII," The place of meeting above indicated was close to the bank. But a moment's reflection convinced Helen that the place and time were well chosen for a private in lerview, us the hank closed regularly at live, nnd so did most of the olllees in Ihe neighborhood, so that at that hour the vicinity of the place designated was almost entirely deserted, ller blood boiled at Ihis uc't of injustice, and her resolution to obey her lover's summons was quickly taken. It was not long tiller his Interview with Leighton before Mr. Tenniel began to feel some qualms of conscience at Ihe man ner in which he had ae ted. He could not but fear lest Hele n, in the face of I-igh-Ion's discharge, should do something des perate, and liealre-ady felt half convinced that she would at least persist in her re jection of Kie hard Courtney's suit. How ever, he had communicated his action to bis pailncr, and requested him to attend to the: business part of the matter and ho would not go back. III! saw Leighton as he met Kichard Courtney on thcuttcct, and had it not been for this meeting lie fellthat he would have been sorely te-iiipled to call 1 1 i in back, lie thought of hi. daughter's tears and his w ili-'s sadness when he should return home! and tell them what he had ilone. He looked at his watch; il was three o'eloi k ill the afternoon. Mr. Tenniel felt harassed and worrinl bv the events of Ihe day. He still had an. oilier painful duty to perform, howe ver. On his return from' Europe, he had found business matters iii a most unsatisfactory condition. Serious losses had Ix-cn suf. b reel by the til in of Ti nniel it Courtney during his ab-ence. Various circumstance:- had occurred since his return which had convinced him that serious mismanagement had existed in the con duel not only of the; business of Hu: hunk, but also of fiisown private affairs, which he bad b li in the hands of his trusted partner, having aimed the latter with a lull power of aitor-ii-y which had conferred on Mr. Courtney their absolute control, and, while he atiribuled thisstaie of things to his partner'.- necessary attention to political niaUi-is during the exeile-me nt at lending the recent dec lion, he nevertheless felt it his duly to make a thorough exami nation, both "of his otfn private business tend of the all airs of the firm, and he could not divest himself of a sort of pre sentiment of evil to collie. The absence of Leighton, who had for a year or two occu pied in some measure: the place of confi dential clerk, rende re d his distasteful task still more arduous. However, it had lobe undertaken, and the soone r the U tter. He concluded to devote the rest of the; day to this business, and ringing a bell whic h Stood on tin: table he requested the clerk, who answered his s-umnioiis, to bring him a box of documents ftom the vault, and directing that he should on no account be el i.-.t tubed, he set himse if to work in a by no means enviable frame of mind. "1 shall be: less liable to interruption here," he thought lo himself, " than at my own desk;" and with tin c xieession of weari ness ami depression that he could not con trol, he involunrarily exclaimed aloud, " Well, let the worst be w hat it may, Lm In r Teimie I will met t it like a man " lb-would scarcely have spoken so eon. fidenlly, perhaps, hud he known that with in a few short hours the faiihful iin-eer. witue-s in his phonographic chamber would have indelibly recorded his tragic; eliding.
