ht, was, ar oooav rwausMina commm CHAPTER IX Th.& evening after Le Barron's funeral all the Newtona met in the home bo Boon to pass from their hands. Mr. Newton there informed his friends that he had, as much as lay in his power, endeavored to hasten the final settlement of all mat ters connected with his late business. He had met all who had claims upon the firm and brought the whole matter much nearer a thorough adjustment than at first he had any reason to anticipate. He Bpoke with great feeling of the respect and kindness manifested toward him personally by all concerned and their voluntary request that he should ap propriate all the personal'.property about the houso and grounds to his own use, and they expressed their-conviction that aven more than that would be found honorably his due. Of course Le Barron's funeral had pre sented the ride to the Montgomery-place, butnow, finding there wasevery promise of turning his attention to some new workMr. Newton desired that Eustace's proposition should have immediate At tention. It was tnererore agreed that early the next morning Eustace should escort Mrs. Newton to the farm and on theirreturn the feasibility of the project should be finally settled. Rose proposed that she should accom pany them and have one more ride on Fairy before she passed from their hands, and turning sweetly to her lover asked if she might trespass on hi3 gal lantry for an escort. He excused him self on the plea of prior engagements and expressed great regret that he could not enjoy such a treat. All this was natural enough, and Rose was satisfied, for her eyes were not yet opened. But the quick flash that overspread his face and died away as rapidly rekindled Mr. Newton's sorrowful suspicions, and the earnest recognition that passed between Dunbar and George told him that Jas per's manner had but confirmed their opinions. It was painful to wait longer for a positive denial or unmistakable admis sion of his treasonable proclivities. But Vfho could look on that sweet girl by his aide and have the courage to hasten a denouement that might blast the bright beauty before them? These thoughts passed with painful rapidity through Mr. Newton's mind, and he had just mastered the indignant impulse as Ralph gayly offered to act as his sister's cavalier in place of her recreant knight and suggested that it might bo well to enmggle Alfred into the carriage with the other party, and then, should first impressions prove encouraging, George and himself could remain to await or ders and Alfred escort Rose home again. But his parents were advocates of con sistency under all circumstances, and whatever they advocated they exempli fied by their daily practice. Mr. New ton agreed that such a cavalcade as Ralph had planned was hardly in good taste under existing circumstances. He should much prefer that Dunbar should accompany the ladies in the most un pretending manner, leaving the others industriously employed in making an in ventory of all in the house and grounds. A ready assent was given to this sug gestion, Ralph remarking that father would be obliged to exercise the gift of patience before he could get them into a good working condition, for they would, he feared, be every little while "bolting from the track" after some fancy frolic instead of working like little busy bees, and a strong arm, tight rein and curb bit would be absolutely necessary to keep them on the right side of the traces. Well, Ralph, my son, that is an odd mixture of quotation and metaphor, but I must say it smacks a little too much of the jockey." "Our good parents are growing a little obtuse, I think. I've been trying all the evening to make you comprehend. Hav ing taken possession of the groom's apart ments, I am happy to find myself not so far above my position but that my voca tion is recognized," said Ralph, laughing merrily. "What does the silly boy mean?" said his mother. "Simply," replied George, "that -while you and father were occupied at Rose ville yesterday we at home were anx ious to make ourselves serviceable. I hope you will not think we are under taking too great liberties. You know we must no longer keep a retinue of serv ants, and the sooner all changes ore made, I judge from what you have al ready said, the better. Hearing of good places for the coachman and one of the grooms, we secured them and sent the men at once. Ralph and I meanwhile prefer, if it meets , your approbation, to retain the head hostler, John, for a few pays to teach us our duties, and we will do the work at the carriage house and stable till the contents are disposed of." "Look at father," said Ralph, laugh ing. "If he isn't grieving that his proud sons, should stoop to care for the horses." "There you are wrong, dear boy. I was overcome for a moment with grati tude to God, who has blessed me with children so ready to accept not only un complainingly but with great cheerful nesa and alacrity a change sudden as ours must be, and with no false shame step in a moment from a life of ease to one of the lowest forms of menial labor. "Now, father, your explanation is really quite crueL I had a little speech all ready thinking you were shocked at our labors of today to show you how inconsistent were your precepts. Iam greatly disappointed, for as I am to be a farmer I shall not nave many opportu nitJes for epeechmaking. But we can't catch father napping, can we, mother?" playfully patting her cheek. "WeU. eaucy one, tolLua what other mischief you and Goorgo have been about today?" "Well, we thought you would not like any of the servants to leave unpaid. Fortunately we have always been liber ally supplied with pocket money, and we three boys had more than enough to make all right with the men and help Lillian settle with those two utterly use less appendages, the young ladies' wait ing maids." v "Why, my dear girls, have you dis missed your attendants? You shame yourmotherl Our children are teach ing us. I never once thought of this, a3 I ought to have done at the very first." "No, mother mine. Because you and father have boon occupied all day in try ing to minister to the unfortunate and wayward, and knowing father wished to curtail expenses as expeditiously as possi ble we could do no less than to begin at these points belonging to our individual expenses." In the course of the conversation Ralph took occasion to hold up Rose's hand and call attention to a blister, saying she had been sweeping and dusting the li brary herself. "Never mind the hand," his sister said, laughing. "That will soon become accus tomed to such work, but I am sure mam ma will say I have done my work well." Jasper here impatiently interrupted her by looking at her hand and protest ing with much temper against anything of the kind again. "Come, come, Jasper, don't you bo un reasonable. That little blister is of no conseauence. I really enjoyed my play, for as yet it has been nothing more". But what would you have mo do, Sir Impa tience? Sit on the sofa and let my mother and sister do what must now be done work? You dare not counsel that!" "No, dear Rose. But, Mr. Newton, my kind friend, let me beg that you will yield to my wishes. Let me make Rose my wife before you leave this her first home." "Jasper!" exclaimed Rose. "How dare you name such a thing after those two shameful examples of hasty marriages to avoid the inconveniences of a limited in come which we have just witnessed? Would you see. me as heartless as the Le Barrons?" "That does not follow, Rose. The aid you could render would be but little comparatively, and I cannot see you stoop to labor when a home of ease and affluence is waiting for you." 'Stoop! Whatever my mother and sis ter can do without degradation will not lower me in the estimation of any right minded person. Eustace has no fears of Lillian being degraded, and he can also offer her a home of ease, but he knows that for the present her first duties keep her with her parents. If your pride re Volts at my using a bro.r.n or engaging in any of the domestic avocations that fall to my mother's lot, then should I in time 6hare your fortune your foolish pride will bo just as much wounded to know all of us continued to labor, as we most probably will." "Oh, no, never, Rose! You do me in justice. It is but natural, loving you as I do, that I should long to protect you from all hardships. Your friends, though not disgraced by labor, would never have sought it as an advisable change. Con sent to an immediate marriage, darling. If you will but yield to this request, I know that your father will not refuse. Let me take you to my mother, show you our beautiful home, and when your parents are settled we will visit them bo fore I install you mistress of the little cottage now building for you." Her parents, George and Dunbar, all listened without interruption and with beating hearts, for they felt that the cri sis was not far distant, and Rose's un natural pallor indicated a strife in her own mind beyond and distinct from that natural to her lover b petition. The si lence was but for a moment, and then, though her cheek was deadly pale, her Voice was firm and clear, but its birdlike tones were wanting. "Jasper, let this subject rest for the present. You know well, if you will do me justice, that I do not thwart your Wishes from any foolish coyness. We are both young, and our youth was tho teason why my parents and your own wish our union deferred two years, and we recognized the wisdom of their unit ed judgment. Six months only of that time have passed, and instead of my fa ther's losses changing tho plan first adopt ed my respect and filial affection make it now an imperative duty. I should de spise myself, and so would you in a short time, if I yielded to your present im pulses to avoid what you call hardship, but which I name pleasure. "Do not interrupt me, my friend. There is something else which I must say, and you must hear me patiently. A few months, perhaps weeks, will deter mine if peace is to continue in all our borders. Until this question is settled I remain 'among my own people.' Hear me yet a moment longer," and she caught his hand while she trembled like an aspen leaf, "dear Jasper, hear me. I have not understood you of late. I had thought your whole heart so full of patriotism that no local attachments could make you swerve. But within a few days oh, Jaspor I ask no question, Wish for no explanation now. I will, I do trust your patriotism, and to prove my trust before all here I promise, and I know my parents will not gainsay the pledge. Should this bitterness end in War, no matter how soon, my brothers Will, I know, be ready to enlist in the first call and you?" Ah! who could re sist the pleading look of agony she bent upon that face, disfigured by so many conflicting emotions? "And you, beloved, will spring to arms with them to fight "together under our dear old flag for justice and freedom. With all my heart I will bid you god speed, and, father, the day my brothers ond Jasper march to tho rescue I solemn ly promise to become his wife!" "Amon! with all our hearts," said her parents in one breath, but Grenvillo clasped her a moment to his breast, ex' claiming: "Rose! Rose! You tempt and try mo fearfully, but this is idle enthusiasm. There is no war, probably will be none, tmless-the north" . Oh. !ctt3 drop this subject." said Rose. "You understand me. And as I have said, God is my witness, so will I do. When the time of trial comes, and come it will, you are too good, too noble, to bo found wanting." "But hear me, Rose! You must and will! Should we be involved in war, why must I join in the contest? Consent to be mine now and let us revisit to gether in the old world the scenes you have so often described." "And this to mo! To me! Oh, Jasper!" And clasping her hands tightly over her eyes in tones so childlike and piteous "but I did not understand you. I dream. I did not hear you. You did but jest to try mo. Let it pass. You need not ex plain," 6he continued to moan. A moment s pause, and then a great change passed over her. With head erect and eyes as keen and resolute as a mar tial hero she said: "There needs no more words. You must know I would never join hand with one who could leave his country or remain idle in time of peril. A scorn equalod only by what I should feel for a traitor would annihilate every emotion of love from my heart. Burl must say good night to all. Remember," laying her hand tenderly on' Jasper's arm, "I know this is but sport, rather cruel, but I trust you all the same, and you will not fail me when tho trial comes. For my sake let me ask that no more be said on this subject tonight." Grenville rose as she left the room, evi dently with the design of replying, but waving a good night kiss to all she j)asse2 rrom ner menas to ner own cnamber. An awkward pause succeeded, but among the gentlemen each face wore a look of mistrust and scorn, while Mrs. Newton and Lillian's heads were bowed in sorrow. In vain Jasper tried to assume a care less and indifferent air, and soon mutter ing something of a forgotten engage ment he departed. A few minutes of gloomy silence fol lowed his departure, but Rose's request was constantly in their minds, and no al lusion was made to tho painful scene, but that in their hearts he now stood re vealed there could be no doubt. Mr. Newton made a few remarks about some business, and then Dunbar took his leave, and the family separated for tho night. As Ralph jmssed from the room his fa ther noticed his greatly excited manner and said a few soothing words to him and earnestly enjoined upon all the ne cessity of strict self government for Rose's sake, assuring them that it was in his opinion the better policy to wait pa tiently for the final result, wnich could not bo far distant. Poor Rose! As soon as tho closing door hid her from view all excitement died away, and like one stunned and be wildered by somo fearful blow she crept up to her room and mechanically seatod herself there. With hands tightly clasped in her lap and stony eyes, she sat as pale and motionless almost as the dead till her tender mother's kiss roused her from this sad stupor, and she found relief in a passionate flood of tears. With hands tightly clasped in her lap. "Bo still hopeful, Rose, my precious one! All will yet bo light." "Yes, I know it," sho said wearily, but please let us not speak of it. Kiss me good night, dear mother.
