THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN: SUNDAY MORNINU, JULY 17 mi. TEE DAHY BULLETIN. ,, ' 'i ; ' MY MARRIAGE. BT THE ACTHOX OF "PENELOPE," EIC. ContUoed nteii Ssndey Some warn, darling" says Humphrey tnd he nearly emptied the cream-Jug over tbe frult-tart ou my plate. A.s I expostulate the door opens, and there Is huded In i colored envelope. A telegram for you, sir." Humphrey!" Is tbt hoarse cry my own voice? SometliiiiK ba liappeueill yulek tell mc !" In a moment my thoughts are liyinir :.omc aud I stand, with great fear o( oine coming trouble, looking at my hus band with that uuknown message in his hand. Only second or so passes, but it seems an eternity oi agony and suspense before Hiiniphrcy speaks, as he tear open the yellow envelope. OIy child, thin Is an answer to a telo gram I sent two hours ago listen." In silence I come close beside hhu and , , driuk in tbe few words that form the un. ".' from home. I'' are all well a mistake about the letter love to Madgie will write to-mor-row.' HunSj'hrey finishes his reading with a imile. i You) were to anxious, dear, that I Kent a telegram to your mother and 1 am wrry I did lii t tell you; it startled you so dread- '"'' , . . Yes," I answer, with a great sign of relief, holding the telegram tightly, and reading the few word.-, over und over ajralu; and then look up iuto iny iiuhuuir fate. 'Humphrey, you are too gd to inc. It was so kind to think of tlii." "Hush!" ho says, taking my face be tween bis Iwnds. Kind, good -do you think I couiid.be anything else to you my wife?'-' There are tear in my eyes; ho I laugh, and turn my face away. Humphrey, don't make me cry. It was kind of you to telegraph home ; but II they don't write for a month, I shall nev er get anxVous again." Anxious?" Humphrey echoes, with a aad yearning ring In hl voice. "Madglu," he lays, ' I would give all 1 possess to have yon care for me like that to know that I could liriiur Tour soul to your face as I saw It in your eyei three minute ago to be to you ;is much as you are to me." The last words are in a low whisper, and my eleitr girlish voice breaks in with a little unsteadiness in Its even tones. You forget, Humphrey, that I hare known them all my life, that everything that belongs to tbe old home 19 part of myself, and that what touchi thorn touches mo. I should bate myself if I ever put any one else in their place." You do not understand, child," Hum phrey answers very gently. You do not dream of what it is to lore with one's whole heart and soul, to lire for one face, one voice for one person to have tbe pow. r to make your iife happiness or misery." His voice falters in intensity as bo pro ceeds. You do not know this, .Madgic the sweet and bitter pain of tho love that can in truth come to man or woman but once in a lifetime." "So," 1 answer in a low solemn voice, I do not know it," and think in my heart, "Tlin.uk goodness that I don't !" Humphrey," 1 whisper, alipvtng my liana into his, "tell me what you wish mo to be?" For a moment he gazes down into my upturned face, and then a smile dawns in his eyes. "To be bappy," be savs gently. "Your lips and eyes were meant for smiles, Mad gie, and please Heaven, I never will give you cause to weep!" Love uud happiueM! Are the two In. separable? Can one be happy if one does not love It is a problem that I cannot solve the sweet bitterness of a heart's great passion that can count it better "to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." I am heart-whole and fan-, cy free, my soul untouched by human love as yet. Chapter V. The dreamy days go by. Humphrey has sketched everything that Is to be sketched, and to-morrow we are going away. Our boxes are packed, Humphrey's bead has been bent over Uradslisw for hours; but all is arranged at last, and to-morrow eve ning we say good-bye to the sea and moun tains, and start for 1'aris. Side by side we are taking a last walk In the twilight, looking at the opal-tinted sky and shadowy sea. "Not a day longer thau six weeks," I am saying. Humphrey, we won't stay any longer." Six weeks heme I shall be at homo again for a short time certainly at home within sound of the longed-for voices; and I think it is the looking forward to this that makes me so cheerful and joyous this evening. Wliile I am speaking, the hero of my hat adveuture appears, sauntering along with the lazy indolent action that seems habit ual to him. I smile as our eyes meet, and he takes off his hat; I think be expects me to speak to him; but any such expectations are nipped in the bud, for Humphrey walks ou steadily, and my band being on his arm, I am forced to keep pace with bis long slci , or be h;ft behind. "Was it right to bow to him?" I ask looking up doubfully into my husband's face. Bow? To whom, Madglcf Is that the fellow who tried to fish out your but? Of course, dear, you did quite right," bo re plies. And tbe hat episode fades out of my mind for a time, I do not know that in the days to come the whole scene will re. turn to my mental vision again, and that this same dark-eyed man Is to be bound up wltli my life. bide by side Humphrey and 1 are sitting on Hi beach in the gathering twilight, tue waves lapping at gur tm.tt Humphrey Is talking of our future-the life be and 1 are to lead together in our new home. I ran hardly brUev that I ,m rcu man," he says al last. OfUn when I wake In the morning, 1 fonrci ror . ... . , tbii.k I hut i IT r woment, and mm i nav e t go back to the old exist, eme working for ,,,, j,. br?lda e"U Humphrey, will ,0,, t,, of before you were rleu" 1 Jle look, please tl" my putting the que .Would youcsretohe.r lt 1., .,V( 'Uoe my life Interest you, MadK"V "Vm," I answer gravely. tWl,,t bow littlo 1 know about you, Humphrey" turning and looking at bis long nKuro lying on tho beach, his grave rugged Ucn Upturned to cine, as 1 alt straight sud roet, my bands in my lap, 01 We," he begins, was merely the ordinary existence of hundred of men, working day after day, and with no pros pect of ever belu anything else but a poor man. I was of an independent spirit, and 1 was too proud to go, cap Id hand, to any of my relatives. I learned too bitter a lcs. son to care to try that a-uln. I think I told you that old Anthony Cnrstairs, who eventually ma'1'; me ids lieir was my fa. thcr's brother. Tbey quarrelled when they were young men together, and my fa ther was turned out of Cnrstairs. Uncle Anthony was in the wrong; but he was tbe elder son, and of course did what he liked. The two brothers never saw each otberagain. My fathrr made Just enough by his oil-paintings to keep body and soul together. He died when I was three years old. When I was fifteen a great gawky boy, who spent half of his days daubing in oils my mother died; and when she was dying she made me promise to go and see my uncle Anthony. I think, poor soul, she thought his heart would warm to bis brother's son. So one day I started for Carstairs, the old family place that had be longed to the Carstalrs for years. Autho. ny Curst Kirs was not married, he was a cross, crabbed old bachelor, and was toad ied, worshipped and courted by his rel atives. 'Another beggar!' he said, when I was ushered Into bis presence. 'I remember tbe scene woll the cynl tal old man, witb bis hard features and sour expression, and the great long-limbed toy lacing hira defiantly. "I am no beggar!' ) cried looking straight into his passionate face. 'And, Anthony Carstairs, I will not Insult my father's memory by staying another mo ment under your roof'.' And, bursting with indignation, X left him. Humphrey over again,' I heard him say; sud then he shouted out, 'Hoy, I say come back !' "But my long legs carried me away down the avenue, and F never saw Car stairs again until I entered its gates as its muster." Humphrey," I say, looking into his face with glistening eyes, "I like you for your spirit ; if you had cringed and fawned upon that old man, I should have hated you." Humphrey laughs a little 04 he goes on with his story. I believe old uncle Anthony took a Jan cy to me, and made several attempts to find out where I lived; but ho was too proud to do so openly ; and so I never knew in reality that the poor old man was try ing to atone to his brother's son. I was struggling with poverty in London from boyhood to manhood, lor twenty-live long, long years, trying, as my father had done, to make money by 111 v pictures, sometimes I succeeded, more often by far I was heart sick from failure and sickened by disap pointment. But one day I saw an adver tisement in the Times which stated that in formation was wanted of the whereabout of 'Humphrey Carstairs, nephew of the late Anthony Carstairs.' To my great surprise I found that unci Anthony had left mc everything belonging to him, at the last outwitting bis numerous relatives who had watched for his death so long." Humphrey's voice grows earnest, and lie takes one of my hands suddenly in his. "It was all plain sailing after that, darl ing; and now I only want one thing to make me tbe bnppiest man 011 earth." And that," I say without the slightest idea of what is coming. "What is the one thing, Humphrey?" Your love," ho whispers. "Heaven grant that it may be mine one day!" We are in Paris. I have seen all tho wonderful sights of tills beautiful citv. and am in a maze still, iu a dream of bewilder ment. "Howl should have enjnvedall this with a girl friend?' t y, elill fcellnji tUu uitr ' want or anything iu common between my husband and myself, and yesirn. lug for Bee to be my companion in this dally round of sighl-secin which has be come quite wet li-onio to me. I am pining for the quiet hinue-life again. Herein lies the sting, tho guawiiif dUcou tout, that not to the old lifesh.ill I return, but to a new home, a new existence with tliis tall bearded man to bo my companion for the rest of my life. He is very kind to me, so kind that my conscience reproaches me for not liking him better. "Madgie," he savs one dav, "what a queer girl you are ! Don't you care to buy anything In Taris, I thought Indies loved Hboppin." 1 answer bun with a grave little laugh. "I dou't know how It is Humphrey, but I mod to bo always longing for tiling when 1 hud no money. Even if I went into the smallest shop 1 was sure to see soinu. thing I wished to have. Now 1 never care to buy anything and see, my piuc. i full?" And I empty a lot of gold into my lap, and pass tho coius-betweeii my lingers. When Humphrey speaks again there is a burslniess in his voice that was not there before. "Tho wish has gone with the power to gratify it," he says. And I replace the gold pieces and come and stand by his sid!. Humphrey," I whisper shyly, "may I buy some presents for them all at home I don't want anything lor myself you have given me so much but I should like to take them home something from Paris." He lietirs me to the end and then speaks In a low pained voice. '.May you take present home! Oh, Madgie, did you think that my permission was uccessary? Should there tie such a thing between husband aud wife as thine and mine? My wife, my darling, all mino is yours!" There are tears In my eyes before he has llnishcd, for his voice is so full of puiit, It seems that we are to be perpetually mis understanding oacli other. "Come," he says, spchkiii),, with sudden cheerfulness that 1 feel in my heart is as. suiued, "get your hat Madgie, and we will go and choose something pretty for Lena und lice." The selection of the presents occupy the wholo morning; but it is accomplished even to my satisfaction. Humphrey wants to purchase the most absurd things, tuiu I laugh at his suggestions. We decide upon u gold watch lor Helen, and I to iuto co st. ides over the Idea. " Would't Lena tike one too?" Humphrey asks, his face beaming at my delight. "Oh, no!" 1 answer, turning away de liberately from the tempting array of watches of every sice aud description You must not spend so much money, Humphrey." A suddea look into bis eyes brings my speech to a standstill. Madgie, you will make me angry," he says in a low quic k voice. "Why do you always speak as If you aud I hud nothing In common? Itemeinber that no words can hurt me so much as a speech like that you made Just now I" He is angry, and I feel qulto frightened. I will thcM.w) a watch If you like," I y meekly. 'I tbluk Lena would like It very much." He gives no help to me to make my choice; and I am disappointed. and go up him with watcb in my hand. "lo you Ilka this Humphrey?" e looks down at me witb an odd little mile, and the watches are chosen and paid tor. '1 know what I should like for Bee," I ay In aeWful rrleudly manner as we proceed. ..You know, Humphrey, that hu writes books, but nobody knows iniyr thing about it except myself; and I should like to get her a beautiful, russia-luuther dispatch-box to hold her Manuscripts." bo you shall darling, the best that can be bad." This is chosen and paid for without a hitch. 1 do not otlend Humphrey with any allusion to the price, and picture dear Bee's wilil delight" "Who comes next?" Humphrey asks laughing. -Jock, Isn't it?" If you wasn't tired of purchasing watches, I fancy Jack would rejoice over a silver one. What do you think, Madgie?" 1 uui sure he would be delighted, but " No buts,' or we shall all out again." 'Oli, Humphrey, how food you are !" I whisper, of my own accord sllppiug my band within his arm; and be gives It' a quick close pressure, and smiles down at mc. Any 0110 pushing would think that we are the most loveable bride and bridegroom Iu the world. I am young and well dress ed, and Humphrey's face is beaming witb subdued teiuierucss as he presses my light gray glove resting upon his arm. "And what are you going to get for tbe mother, Madgie?" Lace," I say firmly, wltii a fcminlno delight at the anticipation of purchasing the delicate fabric a lovely hue ap, Hum phrey." Of course you know what she would like," he says doubtfully. But iiu't laut ii stupid sort of tbiug, dear?" "(Mi, Humphrey !" and jl laugh at his ignorance. 'Hut when the cap is bought, Humphrey hiMsl upon lidding to it a Uouitou lace pocket-handkerchief, "The present would not be worth giving without that," he says. "That flimsy eob. web is nothing, Madgie." Humphrey lias spent a great deal of money this morning, sud I literally gasp at the cost of our presents. There are Dora, Isabel, and Kegy still to he provided for; but, with Humphrey's assistance, the difficulties are surmounted. We purchase a silver locket and chain for Dora, a model steamboat for Regy to work on the pond at home I can fancy his face when he sees it and little Isabel will be happy for some time in the itossossion of the waxen blue. eyed baby that I spend more time iu choos ing thun 1 did over all the other presents ; fori still have a lingering a (lection for dolls, and a secret longing to be a child again and eujov such delights. Flushed and smiling, I look up at my buslmiid after these purchases are made. This is tbe plcasantcst day I have yet spent In Paris, for every hour of it has been occupied in thinking of the dear ones at homo. "There is only papa, now," I say next "Oh. Hiimnlirev. jileae help mel I do not know what to get for him." Humphrey gives all the assistance in bis power; but we cannot arrive at any satis. factory conclusion. "Men sre so hard to please," I say, for I am at my wits' end. When they arc lioys one can give tliein pocket-knives. I think I have given Jack a knife every Christ mas for the last ten years." A book," Humphrey suggests, "A book oh, yes!" I asteut joyfully. "The very thing! C lergymen always want books." But the dillictilty of choosing a volume is so great that at last we purchase an ink stand for papa's study table at home. And now you look tired, dear. We had better go home," Hutnbrey says; "and we can hnish another d; Our visit to Paris is e icr st last, and we are slartliiii fur Inui; I .endure every. thing cheerfully futiu , . seasickness, all the weuriu'-ss and disc fjnforfs tor every moment brings me neailir home. As our journey draws to a clost? X laugh aud talk excitedly. "What spirits you are in, JTidgie!" Humphrey remarks; aud I .cry out raptur ously "Olily to think that rshall see them all to-night! Oh, Humphrey you cannot lm. agine what it is to be going home! It is worth while being married and going awav only to have the pleasure of coming back !" He does not answer, but looks out o the window of the railway-carrlage. Long afterwards 1 know how Miy words pained him, how i. hurt hhu to think that he had no share In my gladue.s, that In my heart there was 110 room for love for him. Humphrey is very kind and geftle; and when be lifts me out at the little station at home, be saysitiietly "Here are Itee und Jack cumo too meet you, Madgie." lie gor away to see to the luggage, and I spring Cm ivard and cling tightly to ltec, with a sob i.i my throat at the hist sound of her clear young voice. Jack gives inc a boyish hug, aud then stusds back. "You arc an awful swejl, Madgie! You don't look a bit like yourself." Come !" 1 cry In, wild delight. "Come, Bee! Oh, I can't In lie vi I am at home again!" j With lieu and Jack, ole at each, side, I am hurrying from the station, when Jack speaks. ' "Where Is Humphrey?!' I have forgotten hi in. 'For second my hushuiid has gone clean oit of my mind. lie will soon be after us. I can't wait I" 1 say impatiently.! "Here he comes!" ixciiluis Jack. And when they have shaken hands I hasten away with Hit, leaving Humphrey to fol low with Jack. Dow n the well-rcincml'Crcd bit of road, In the glowing evening sunshine, I speed with Hying In I, Bee laughing beside me. And then the lamiliar gate is ojeiied, and 1 fly in l tbe open door. "Mother:" j na,, mid feel the dear arms clo-e round me loudly, "Madgie. my child!" For one moment eliug to lier like a frightened ji, ,00 not able to say a word, for tears will come if I speak; but the rct uro cUmoriiig lor their share of at tention. "And what have ton done witb your husbnml?" my father sa.is. "Have you ran away from I1I111, Madder" "He Is coming," 1 answer bsiklng round me w ith wet cy c. "On, how 1 have longed for you all!" Then I turn aud see my husband In tbe doorway, o.ur eyes meet; mid I am half repentant, half angry, Iu an instant. What k right has my husband to expect to be uiougni or every moment? it is most un. reasonable! Humphrey look" dismal, sud, and Jealous, but only for a second; then be speaks quite pleasantly to my father, and tells hi 111 about our journey, while I am down on my knees, with my arm round Crib's neck, hugging and kMng him, and hearing Bee say that the rulthful animal never touched a morsel of food for a week after I went away. He Is qulto fat now," I lay, looking up; and Jack explains "Oh, yes ! 1 1 wa., only for a week. He forgot you after that, Madgie." 1 get up and leave Crib to himself. !l be can forget mc In a week, his love Is not worth having.. Htlll it is delightful in tbe midst oi them all agaiu to hear the clamor of young merry voices. "Madgie, Madgie 1" on all sides, to hear mammr laying softly, "You were sadly hiIsmmI daillng." Hut In all the glad loving welcome lam com clous of Humphrey's taii tigiire In the background, and know that his eyes are never off mc for a moment. "Madgie must be tired," I hear lam ma's voice saying. "You had better let her take her things off; and 1 fancy lea is ready." With Bee at one side and Lena at the other, I proceed up tbe staircase, the chil dren trooping after ine. ..Kgy Isabel, don't worry Madgie!" my father calls out; but on this iirst night of my arrival his mild remonstrates goes for nothing. On the lauding stands nurse, with her welcome In her eyes. "You're welcome home, dearie!" she ays tremulously for I am the old wo. man' 1 favorite. And she asks after Hum phrey and tells bow she has missed me in a breath; and, with a great lump In my throat, I wish I had never gone away. But not one ofthein dreams that X am not quite happy, not quite contcuted in tbe love of a good husband. Chapter VI. Bee and Lena stay with ine while I wash off the dust of my journey from Paris; and ; Bee takes my hand and looks at my wedding-ring. "How fuuny it looks, Madgie!" she says. "It seems so strange to have you , married !'' And I laugh, because I feel tears com ing, aud am thankful ror Lena's next re mark. And yon have cut your hair. Madgie! Do you know, I think it l mofl becoming. 1 wonder if it would suit me?" 1 look at Lena's fresh young loveliness, as her face is reflected iu the ghisn beside ' mine, fhc has a childlike beauty, with a j roundness of outline that Is very soft and winning; and her large winning blue eyes sre childlike In the extreme. Mniling she draws down her soft silky hair to her eye. brows, and surveys the pretty picture with J;leat satisfaction. "1 think I shall cnt it. Look, Bee, does Mt suit me?" I dou't know," says Bee who possesses a striking sort of beauty of her own a laughing gipsy lace, with sparkling eyes, snd I row 11 wavy hair that grows down in s peak on her broad low forehead. Mie is tall and lithe, and iu my heart I think that ilce Is the. beauty of the family, and prom he great things some dy fur my hoyden sister. There Is great ''high-tea" in honor of our arrival. The tea-cakes I know ure Lena's staking, and are as light and flaky as cakes can be. Lena is a gisid cake-maker, and ichleves great success in that art. With iter dimpled arms bare to the e!lw, she '.ransfcMins flour and butter deftly into cakes that for flavor and llakiness I have lever seen rivalled. The dear old faded shabby dining-room (jives me more pleasure, than would the grandcnt bunqui ting-hall, and tbe homely lire is more to my tate tln the most elaborate l'eut would be. Not ern e during tde whole meal do 1 address Humphrey; 1 shall have him all my life to talk to, and tlise other and dearer ones but kclduin; I am making anxious inquiries about every thing of interest around the place, espe cially about my garden; nnd lam asking alter every individual fowl In the yard, We have each our special favorites, aud 1 confess it was with a pang 1 gave up all claim to my own pets when 1 married. I have taken your garden, Madgie," Helen savs quietly; "and it i iu good or der." "And mamma said l nugnt have your canary," chimes In Isabel, In her high child ish voice. vision of my possessions hurts me; it sounds as if I were dead. One has my garden, another my canary; and Jack de dares Crib to belong to him now that I am gone." 1 should like to take Crib to Carstairs," I say piteously. ! should 'like to have soHMtbiiiE I had here;" and Involuntarily my eyes go to my husband's face. He is looking at me fixedly, intently. "Crib Is an awfully ugly brute," Jack breaks in. I am sure Humphrey could get you a much jollier dog." "It would not tie her old friend," Ho. phreysays quietly. "And 1 think that Jdadgie would rather have Crib than a new pet." I give him a quick grateful look, and stop to pat Crib's rough head. He is still fond of mc, poor dog, and is keeping close beside me. After all there Is something sad iu this home-coming. I sin of them, and yet not one of them now. My high spirits cob lapse suddenly; I glance round the table and wonder how it look every day witb my vacant place. I feel as if 1 have come back from the grave, and am standiug un seen gazing in at the open door, witb bursting heart to view the place that knows me no longer. "If you loved your husband, it would be difl'crent." A voice seemed to be whisper, ing and echoing that sentence over snd over again. I do not love him; I know that if I were never to sec him again it would not trouble me much. When he speaks, when bo whispers tenderly and passionately his great love for mc, my heart beats not one sensation quicker. 1 am conscious only of a sense of weariness, a kind of dreary depression seems to take possession of my wUole being, when Hum phrey talks of love; or perchance the lu dicrous side o!' the matter strikes me, snd I am more moved to laughter than senti ment. Bee might understand such things; she "piles up the agony" in her stories, sliiy. ing heroes with a disregard to human life, which is reckless and uncalled for, 1 tell her often, and leaving the beautitul but unnatural heroine lamenting, Bee's sto ries are all tire uud misfortune, the possible snd improbable mingled wildly together, the ridiculuus and pathetic going baud iu hand. And they all end badly there is nearly ilways a funeral knell instead of Wedding peal, "I don't know why," she sajs, a piteous smile in bcr beautiful eyes, "but it conies naturally to me to make all my people un bappy." A contrast to yourself," I have told my madcap sister often. Ah, Bee, with all your Imagination, do you never draw a character from real life? Aryou so unobservant as not to see bow the wedding-ring ou your sister's tiuger burns and chafes into her very soul? Three months ago It seemed possible for tne to be happy with a man that I cared nothing about. It seemed then almost noble thing to lighten the burden at home the unroinantic and weary burden of pover.'y to leave one mouth less to feed, one form less to clothe, however shabbily, Asa gentleman's daughter my father's In. come was three hundred pounds a year, aud there were eight children to feed, clothe, and educate it seemed possible then to he happy as Humphrey Carstalr's wife. Now I wonder If 1 shall ever know what It Is to be contented again. There my husband sits at the other side Of tbe (able, and 1 think of my first de. icrlptlon of him to the others at home. "Ob, only a uian with a beard !" 1 told them ou returning from a tea-party where 1 first met him.
