THE DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST, THURSDAY, SBPTMBER 9, 1886
Under tfcftCheatnuU.
W itood benrath the chestnuts, betide the
river bank;
So Mill to ewatlow swooped and poised, and
from tbe stream let drank ;
Ttf iub beyond the purple moon wai setting
lo tbe west,
With tbe cloud like TassalS round him In gold
and crimson dree I.
Tou Hid the word that made life full of hope
and Jot to me.
And at our feet Ure Rhone and gleamed, on
rushing to the sea.
1 stood beneath the chestnut, beside the river
bank,
' And from the robin's vesper songs, as If it
hurt me, shrank;
The sun beyond tbe purple moors was setting
in tbe west;
I thought, so set my happiness, with all that
And no one whispered "Be of cheer," no hand
held help to me.
And at my feet Ure shone and gleamed, on-'
rusihug to the sea.
Ah! still beneath the chestnuts, beside the
river bank.
Will other glad young lovers the golden even
ing thank;
The sun beyond the purple moors sinks glor
ious to bis rest.
And hears tbe pleading promise made, the
trusting love confessed;
And other maldons meet tbe fate that wrecked
my life and me.
While all the while Ure sbines and gleams,
and rushes to the sea.
All the Year Bound.
"Only A Flirtation."
BT R. II. C.
He was one of those men who com
manded your admiration, your respect,
' your liking, and the first time Ethel
Dornngton met turn she only did
what everyone did what more than
ball the girls did who were introduced
to Dr. Walton.
The doctor was undeniably hand
gome, with a beauty that, while wo
men adored it, men were bound as
well to admire. He was manly and
chivalrous as a prince. He was gentle
and caressing in his manner and tone
to women, and yet no one had ever
dreamed of calling him impressionable
or susceptible.
He was frank, fearless, and decided
in his way with men, and still he never
bad been called self-important or con
ceited, or in any way offensive.
jle was generally conceded to be a
gentleman of unusual Bkul and far
sighted ness in his profession.
He was positively known to enjoy a
widespread reputation, and a large,
successful practice.
He was the centre and soul of the
social circles in which he moved, when
his business admitted of such relaxa
tion, which was not nearly as often as
people wished.
He was unmarried, well-to-do, kept
up a charmingly hospitable establish
ment, over which his sister presided,
and was about thirty-eight years old.
Do you wonder, then, that Ethel
Dorrington fell in love with him al
most as soon as she met him?
I have said that Dr. Walton was
neither impressionable nor susceptible,
and by that I mean not that he did
not ardently admire womenpretty,
agreeable, fascinating women but
that he was hardly the one to be fall
ing in love with every pretty, agree
able, fascinating woman he saw.
Once or twice in his life he had
imagined himself in love, and once
had been on the very verge of an en
gagement, but something had happen
ed that made him take more time for
consideration, and the result was when
he met Ethel Dorrington he was heart
whole and fancy free.
She was a bewitching, winsome girl,
not famous for her beauty, but yet
better looking than the majority of
girls.
She dressed well and suitably to the
occasion always.
She was a fair acquisition to the
society in which she took her place as
guest and dearest friend of the Mer.
ridens; she played well and sung well,
and danced exquisitely.
She was intelligent and educated,
vivaciouB, without being vulgarly de
monstrative; she knew how to make
her lady friends like her and the gen
tlemen admire her.
And she was betrothed, and had
been for a year, to Ernest Halford, a
young lawyer in her native city.
And she had looked on Dr. Walton
with her beautiful dark eyes, and, be
fore she had been acquainted with him
a week, was as much in love with him
as though there existed no gentleman
named Ernest Halford, whose ring she
wore.
She had no idea of being false to
Ernest Halford paradoxical and in
credible as the idea seems even when
she deliberately removes her engage
ment ring from her fore-finger, and
arranged her plan of action towards
Dr. Walton, determining in her mind
that since every other girl petted and
courted him in vain, she would adopt
an opposite treatment not in vain.
She did not have the remotest in
tention of throwing Ernest Halford
over, for all she knew she was in love
with Dr. Walton, for all she had re
moved the tell-tale token of possession
ship. She knew in her heart that she was
a bern flirt, if flirts are born ready
made, that her passion for this god
like man, with the face and form of an
Apollo, would, in all probability, be
transient, and that she would eventu
ally settle down to the sober, sensible
Alio vi uuuwui nuu uapjpiutroo hiiu uni
old Eraest.
What harm would there be if she
enjoyed a flirtation with Dr Walton,
this splendid man of whom her cous-

written until she felt she almost knew
him?
Nettie and Gracie had declared that
le was a predestinated bachelor, con
sequently she could do bim no harm.
: : She knew, she would eventually
awry Ernest, and be a model, demure
wife; so, obviously. Dr. Walton would
do her no harm; ' , -
Then why, in the name of all the
Cupids, might not her three months'
visit to the Merridensbe enlivened
and brightened by a genuine flirtation
with him?
Whether her conscience chided her
in vain or not at all, as Ethel argued
with herself and her reasonings, I can
not sav.
But I do know that at a social
gathering held at Dr. and Miss Wal
ton's elegant home a night or so later
she was at her very best, and when
the bouse was quiet and empty of
guests again Dr. Walton caught him
self thinking, with unusual interest, of
the tall, gracefully slender girl in
trailing black silk who wore cream
and cardinal flowers in her dark hair,
and at her round white throat, and
who bad been so charmingly entertain
ing, and withal, just enough reserved
to show she was above the weakness
towards him of her companions in
general.
And Dr. Walton made up his mind
he would cultivate MissDorrington's
acquaintance further.
H
Two months of the three that were
to constitute Ethel's visit to the Mer
ridens had passed, and Ethel had come
to be such intimate mends tnat peo
ple nodded and smiled knowingly
when their names were spoken, and
hints of jealousy and envy began to
be darkly spread whenever Miss Dorr
ington was seen in Mr. Walton's hand
some little carriage; and Dr. Walton
himself was hourly coming to the con
clusion that of all women he had ever
seen or known, this one, with her
dark, bright eyes, the charmingly
witching ways that had so slowly de
veloped from pleasant indifference to
positive yet ladylike interest, was the
fairest, sweetest, best; and whom,
heaven helping, he would win and
wear so proudly.
And Ethel?
This same sunshiny day, when Dr.
Walton was driving his round, dis
pensing words and deeds of cheer, and
comfort, and hope, - and encourage
ment, she was sitting in her room,
reading a letter the post had just
brought her from Ernest, and feeling
. ... , I J.l!l.lll
as sne read it, now soon ner aeugnimi
triumph here must be ended feeling,
with a strange thrill at her heart, that
perhaps perhaps she had not done
wisely; perhaps well, she hoped such a
glorious fellow as Dr. Walton would
not care when she went away for good.
Would not care! Ah, if. she had
known how his very soul was stirred
at thought of herl
She read Ernest's letter slowly, lit
tle blushes surging to her face at in
tervals. "If you only knew how I have
counted the hours you have been
away, my darling, my little love, and
how I am counting the minutes until
you return. You never shall go away
again. Ethel, without me, do you know
that? when 1 thinfc now near our
marriage is, only a tew weens rrom
vour return, and that you will never
go from me again, oh Ethel, darling,
I am tempted to throw down my pen,
and rush off to you, and take you in
my arms and kiss you over and over,
in my great happiness.
'They write your family, your lath
er says, that you are having a splendid
time, and are the reigning lavounte
on all sides.
'I want you to have a good time,
dear, and let every one know that a
precious treasure I possess.
'Only, darling, don't flirt with any
one enough to hurt them, for I know
you are as true as steel, loyal and true
as you know I am.
'It is just possible that I may come
to escort you home, Ethel.
'If the courts are not in session I
will.
'Think of it.
'Such a lazy, delicious ride all by
ourselves! ' ' .
'I will be so good and kind to you,
darling, that the three hundred miles
shall not be tedious!'
-
. It would have been impossible for
any woman to read Ernest's letter and
not realize, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that he loved Ethel Dorrington
with all tenderness of a grand, noble
nature, and that, true and good him
self, he pinned his faith implicitly up
on her.
And Ethel realized it with a sensa
tion she could not describe, that was
not proud delight that it was so, nor
yet sorrow that she had been playing
false.
'He is a dear, good boy, and I sup
pose, of course, I love him. But '
But as she looked up through the
window, and caught a glance from Dr.
Walton's eyes as he leaned forward
an,d bowed in passing in his carriage,
she wondered again if she had not
been unwise ay, worse than unwise
cruel in that she had now two such
mea to love her. 1
. For days afterwards Ethel was
grave and "quiet beyond her wont.
For days she delayed the answer to
Ernest Halford's letter, and Dr. Wal
ton's quick eyes discerned that, though
she persisted in declaring herself the
victim to a slow, tedious headache
there was something deeper than head
ache the matter, something beyond the
power of medical aid.
It was then that Dr. Walton made
up his mind to tell her how he loved
her, how he had come to regard all
other good the gods had given him
as nothfng if she, too,, might not be
given to him; and only the sight of
her sad eyes, her pale face, her dis
pirited ways, prevented him pouring
all his confession upon her.
So he decided it would be better not
to take advantage of her transient
mental or physical indisposition.
The days wore on, and still Ethel
could not end the agonising conflict
that was being fought between hourly
strengthening passion for Dr. Walton
and hourly increasing almost clamor
ing demands of conscience to be leal
and true to het absent, unconscious,
trusting lover.'
She could not bring herself, to an
swer Ernest's tende" letter as it de
served, as she knew he confidently ex
pected, and was her wont to do.
So she scribbled a note; begging his
forbearance and telling him she was
not welt, and would write as soon as it
was possible for. her to do so.
It was just a merest bit of rest to
her mind when she had done that, and
the sparkle began to come to her eyes,
and Walton saw the returning color on
her cheeks, poor, silly child, for such
a short respite.
It was many evenings after this,
when Dr. Walton had gone to the
Merridens, deliberately deciding that
he would tell Ethel his hopes, his
wishes, and ask her, his own darling
one, to promise to crown nis life.
He went rather late, knowing she
would be alone, for he had sent her a
note asking her to remain from the
concert rehearsal the Misses Merridens
were sure to attend, and the first he
knew, as the servant admitted him
with rather a white, scared lace, was
that his services were needed in the
parlor, for Miss Ethel had fainted.
He found her lying white and deathly
on the lounge, with Mrs. Merriden bath
ing her temple and wrists with ammon
ia, and a young gentleman standing
anxiously, solicitously by, a whom he
had never seen.to whom Mrs. Merriden
hurriedly introduced him.
'Doctor Walton, Mr Ernest Hal
ford. Mr. Ernest Halford, Doctor
Walton. Oh, doctor, how cold she is!
What can be the matter?
He sat down beside the prostrate
girl, as fair as marble as she lay there,
her dark lashes sweeping her cheeks,
her Hds ashen, her form rigid and
tense. .
When she came out of the long,
deathly swoon, his eves were the first
object her own saw, his loving, glad
eyes, loving, impassioned face.
'My darling! You are better!'
She made a little feeble motion with
her hand, which he took, caressing
it tenderly between his own as he
spoke to her gently.
'What made you faint, my dear
child? Were you frightened, or sur
prised unduly? Do you know 01 any
cause, dear;
Mrs. Merriden looked fidgety.
Doctor. I think it must have been
the suiprise of seeing Mr. Ernest Hal
ford coming in so unexpectedly. He
is her engaged husband, you know.'
Dr. Walton suddenly dropped the
white, limp hand and stood up, con
fronting the pallid-faced man, who
had heard his betrothed wife called
"darling'' by this handsome, gentle
manly man.
'Do I understand, sir, Miss Dorring
ton is engaged to you?'
Earnest saw it all at a glance. He
read aright the mute, proud suffering
on Dr. Walton's white face, and he
knew that if Dr. Walton loved Ethel
Dorrington, she loved Dr. Walton.
His voice trembled, despite his grand
efforts to speak bravely.
'She is, Dr. Walton. My coming to
take her home, the surprise I intended
should be as delightful as the meeting
was to have been to me, has ended as
you see."
It was a tableau worthy of the rep
resentation of the ablest painter. The
two men face to face with their sad
secret.
The girl, pity her, pity her, sister,
for she was less wicked than weak, ly
ing like a blighted lily before them.
Old Mrs. Merriden the picture - of
stein astonishment and mortibcation,
and womanly pity.
Ethel suddenly struggled up from
the couch, white to the very lips, and
reached out her hands to Dr. Walton.
Don't look so at me! I could't help
loving you! 1 do love you, Idol Oh,
Ernest,' and Bhe turned passionately
towards him, 'Ernest, won't you for
give me, won't you release me?'
A smile, like a late burst of wintry
sunshine at sunset, was on his face.
Oh, yes. I will forgive you. It is
30 easy to forgive such a wrong as you
have done me. Release you that you
may go free to your latest lover? Cer
tainly.' The quiet, suppressed passion in his
tones made Mrs. Merriden shiver; and
Ethel sprang at him, taking his hands.
'Ernest, you look as if you could
murder me. You are not forgiving
me!'
'You have done more than murder
me, heaven knows it! But I release
m n - - J 1
you. iwiu iorgive you. wooa-ove,
foil.' .
He went out so matter-of -lactly
that, in view of the circumstances,
Mrs. Merriden went after him, almost
fearing she knew not what.
But she need not have feared. He
meditated no rash act He went away
to the hotel, from thence home, but
oh. Hp differently from what he had
anticipated.
When they two were alone, Ethel
sank trembling on the sofa, wondering
what Dr. Walton, would say, ' ; this
grand glorious lover, who had whis
pered 'darling, only a moment ago,
who had loved her, whom she had
doomed one soul to Buffering un
til heaven in its own time should send
relief. . ' '
'The silence became-unendurable;
and at last, in a passion of love and
imploration, Ethel flung her hands
away from her eyes and started np to
confrout him and plead her own cause
tell him not to censure her,, for love
of him, and surely he would heed that
argument, and take her to his heart,
and bid her forget her sin in love.
was alone. Dr.
rithout a word, 1
Walton
ithout a
sign!
And she knew it was a token that
the measure she had meted out was
measured to her.
She never spoke with or saw him,
except at a distance, again; and he
goes his way, resolved that woman's
love is not for him, and has come out
of the fire refined and purified, and is
the more thoughtful, tender, patient
than before if that could be.
...He is not unhappy, nor lonenome,
and only occasional memories of Ethel's
sweet face baunt him.
Ernest Halford was never mairied.
He could not stand the discipline of
disappointment as Dr. Walton, with
his finer nature, did.
He is a morose man, who hates
womankind and avoids them
He has grown shiftless and cynical,
and 'will be, eventually, the wreck of a
man. .
While Ethel Dorrington, who could
not resist the opportunity to flirt a lit
tie, is old, faded, and living out her
days with the bitter knowledge of the
havoc she wrought for time, and per
haps for eternity.
Girls, heed the lesson.
It may be sport while it lasts, but
no mortal eye or human hand can
neasure the infinity of result of 'Only
a Flirtation.
In the Jury-Room.
The case seemed clear enough to a boy
10 years old.
The plaintiff sued the defendant on a
debt The defendaut admitted that he
contracted the debt, and that he had
never paid it. Ho tried to show, as an
offset, that he once lent plaintiff some
money, but ho failed to even establish
the date of the transaction. Tho amount
sued for was $400, and the judge charg
ed us to return a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff.
When we got settled in the jury-room
as1 elected a foreman, he said:
"Well, I suppose we must return a
verdict for the full amount?"
"Well, I don't!" replied one of the
jurors a man whom I had selected as
an honest, conscientious juror.
"But isn't it a plain case?"
' "No, sir! The plaintiff had two
lawyers, while the defendant had but
one. There was nothing fair about
that!"
"But the judge charged us to return a
verdict for the amount," observed an
other juror.
"'Sposing he did!" exclaimed an old
man on his left; "if the judge knows
more about this case than wo do, then
wlifct are we here for?"
"Which of 'em was the plaintiff, any
how?" solemnly inquired a solemn
juror whom I had seen sleeping through
most of the trial.
"The red-headed man, of course," re
plied a young man who wore very tight
pantaloons and chewed plug tobacco
with great ambition.
"Was it! Why, I thought it was the
fat man!" exclaimed juror No. 6.
The foreman suggested that we mark
on slips of paper the amount each juror
thought the plaintiff entitled to. His sug
gestion was followed, and the amounts
ran from 15 cents to $400.
"It seems to me," he reflected, "that
the defendant either owes him $400 or
nothing."
"i Hon t believe he owes him nutnm ,
replied one of the twelve.
"But you heard the evidence?"
"Hang the evidonce!"
Some one suggested that we add up
the sums marked and strike an aver
age. Another suggested that we return a
verdict for the defendant.
A third offered to flip a cent and head
or tail for the $400 or nothing.
A fourth wanted some one to tell him.
if the debt hadn't been outlawed.
It was finally discovered that we
stood five for the plaintiff and seven
for the defendant and the foreman
wanted to know what wo should da
"Well," said one of the seven, "if we
agree with you in this case, will you
agree with us in the next?"
He couldn t promise, and the leader
of the dissenters declared that he would
remain in that room a lifetime before he
would agree with the five.
And at the end 01 an hour there were
eight men willing to return a verdict
for $75. .
At the end of two hours there were
seven men who didn't care a cent and
fire who were in favor of the defend
ant
At the end of three hours six men were
in favor of $400 and the other six were
playing poker.
in another hour two of us favored
$400 and the ether ten had made up
their minds that at least two out of the
three lawyers ought to be in jail. We
finally marched in with the announce
ment that we couldn't agree, when the
juror who didn't know plaintiff from
defendant raised his voice and pro
tested: , v

HOW HE DID IT.
A mean Yankee is as mean a fellow
as can be found anywhere, and such a
one as is described In the following in
cident, we are sorry to say, may occa
sionally be found:
A story of close management In told
about a Yankee who lately settled in
the West. He was the picture of a
mean man, Due, as lie put nimaeir to
work in good earnest to get his house
to rights, the neighbors helped him.
After he had everything fixed to his
satisfaction he thought that he must
nave some chickens, tie was too lion
est to steal and too mean to buy them
At last a thought struck him he could
borrow. He went to a neighbor and
thus accosted blm:
"Wai, I reckon you haint got no old
hen nor nothin' you'd lend me for a few
weens, nave you, neignoor"
"I will lend you one with pleasure,"
replied the gentleman, picking out the
very finest in the coop.
. The Yankee took the hen home, and
then went to another neighbor and bor
rowed a dozen eggs. He then set the
hen, and in due course of time she
hatched out a dozen chiokens.
The Yankee was again puzzled; he
could return the hen, but how was he to
return the eggs? Another idea and
who ever saw a live Yankee without
one? he would keep the hen until she
naa iaia a dozen eggs.
This he did. and then returned the
hen and eggs to their respective owners
remarking as he did so,
"Wai, I reckon I've got as fine a doz
en of chickens as you ever laid your
eyes on, .ana iney didn't cost me a
cent, nutner."
