It was a long time, said grandmnth
or, ueioro i was ioiu nil inai irans
plred, but I will tell It to you as It hnp
pcud,
"Tho sudden ropolre of Dr. Lnwrcnco
to tear hliiHolf awny from Ldith, his
littlo daugbtor, nnd his many patients,
nnd fnco the dangers and hardships ol
war, was not caused by the mere lovo
of 'country, though that of course had
something to do with It.Sovernl circum
stances had combined to force him in
to hi determination.
Ileforo his visit to Gcrinnntown with
Edith, ho w.is n happy man, for ho be
lieved in her lovo for him, nnd hoped
soon to mako her his wlfo.
Hut now how different the situation.
Sho had beenmo nn hciros, nnd In
conscquonco vory far removed from
him in station, nnd even though sho
still loved him, his pride would forbid
him to spenk, for would not the world
call him n fortune hunter?
Had thoy becamo engaged betoro her
unclo'1 death, it would liayo been dif
ferent, nnd oh,how bitterly he regretted
his lack of courage, In not Improving
those many lost opportunities.
Thou sho was a poor girl dependent
on others, end tho home ho had to offer
her, was at least ns comfortable, ns tho
on'o ho would tnkc her from.
Rut now how littlo it seemed in com
parison to what sho could provide for
herself.
No, ho could not do it, ho could not
now ask her fur her hand, until ho had.
n namo or a fortune to luy nt her lect.
Could he bo pure of her love, how he
A'ould work to accomplish this.
Rut was ho sure ot it Pouco ho thought
so, tnit now ho doubtcu, for tho demon
ol jealousy had been fctlricd up within
him.
Wlillf in Gcrinnntown, ho could not
hi-lp but notico the frequent visit of
Charles Thompson to Edith, and tho
great pleasure sho soomod to derive
horn III company. Truo the treated
him no, differently, but might she only
look upon himself,- ns a tried nnd truo
friend? ami would it bo anything
strange? indeed would It not bo more
suitublo in tho eyes of tho world, for
hor to marry her old friend.thc wealthy
nnd accomplished lnwyerP
In this staco of mind the call for vol
unteers found him.nnd without a iniun
enta hesitation ho onhsled, for ho saw
in this, nn opportunity to forget his dis-
nppolntmeulg, nnd win for himsolf hon
or, nnd perhaps lame.
It was only on seconl consideration,
that ho found how hard the tusk would
bo, nnd when the timo drew near to say
good-byo to Edith, nnd his duughtcr.ho
almost regretted his decision.
As hen aproachod our houso that
Thanksgivins evening, his heart sank
within him, and he almost dreaded the
interview.
Edith met him ns usual, and took him
into tho sparo room, where a bright llro
was burning.
The Doctor tried to bo natural, and
keep up his pnrt of tho conversation,
but In spito of his efforts, Edith saw
that something was wrong, but what It
was sho had yiol the right to inquire
Not until tho last moment could ho
flrd courngo to tell her of his intontion,
when rising to lako his leavo, ho snid
in a trembling voice. "Edith I am go
ing away to-morrow, I have joined tlio
army."
Edith started, turned palo, then said
flatcringly. "Yon Edward going
away to war?1 "
At tho mention of his given namo, for
the first timo, by her.his heart beat fast,
nnd it was nil ho pould do to restrain
himself from declaring his love for her,
nnd nsuing her to giyo him aright to
call her his own. Rut his pride again
checked him, and with a great offert.ho
said.
."Acs, Edith, my country neods mo
and I must do my duty, but boforo I go,
I want to nsk a favor of you, will you
grant UP"
"Certainly, Doctor Lawrnnco," said
Edith, who had in pnrt recovored her
self.
"It Is, Edith, that you will, onco in
nwhile, look nftor my daughter, ray
littlo Annie, It will not bo so hard to
lonvo hor, could I know sho would bo
under your protection."
"I will do all in my powor forhor,nnd
visit her ofton," sho roplled warmly.
Thank you,Edith,I know you would,
fpnd will you write- and loll mo how you
both aro getting along?"
"Yes, often," sho nHSwerod.
"Good-bye, Edith," said Doctor
Lawrence, taking both her hands, nnd
looking into her eyes, wishing to say
so much, yet daring to say noting,
"Good-byo," sho said faintly,and thus
they parted, to meet whon.
Tho next morning saw Doctor Law
rence on his way, nftor a tondor fare
well to hlu child, and many Injunctions
to mind, nnd love Miss Edith.
Tho romomboranco of that last Inter
view with Edith gavo him hopo, for hor
oonduot showed deop regard for him nt
least, and ho folt now courngo to mako
himsolf worthy of hor.
IIo did not expect to beeomo n Cap
tain or a Gonoralj for his duty lay
among tho sick, as ho had been appoint
ed doctor or surgeon of bis roglmout.
Rut in tho army ha would bnvc a ohnnco
to improvo Ids knowlodgo, nnd gain i
ropHtntlon, if ho walked hard, n.n.d ho
intended to do f iat.
Rut lo go back lo Edith, said grand
mother.
"Sho camo down to broakfast look
ing palo, but went nbout her duties ns
ueiinl, keeping hor own counsel.
Of his absciico alio said but little,
but each day she paid a visit to Annie,
nnd many wero tho hours tho child spout
nl our houso. Sho was, ns I said bcloro.
n bliio cyed falr-halml girl, of n sunny
disposition, nnd to know hor wns to
lovo her. Wo were nlwnys glad of hor
company, nnd c ho bciniuo n grcnt pet
Among us, ns we had no children near
her nge, which was nt thnt time, flvo.
Things went on thus for awhile, Edith
writing ofton to tho Doctor but only oo
cnsionully hearing from hlni, (or in those
days news traveled slowly, as wo had
fow railroads nnd no telegraphs.
Sho also .'corresponded with Charles
Thompson, nnd seemed to enjoy his
letters, though sho never snid much
about hint, nnd wo did not know how .
matters stood between them.
Ono day na wo woro busily sowing
nnd chatting, Mlrnndin, onr hired help,
camo into tho room wish n scared fnco,
and said there was a man in tho kltch
on.and ho was bound to see Miss Edith,
though sho could'nt sco what tho likes
of him wanted with quality folks.
Wo roso hastily nnd followed her out,
wondering who It could bo.
When wo saw him Edith immcdiutcly
recognized Pierre, I ho scissor grinder,
who used to hang around her uncle's,
and upon whom sho had bostowed char
ity nnd kindness.
Sho erected hhu kindly, nnd naked
IdiH what sho could do for him.
"If you plcaso Miss, said ho, I would
llko to speak nlono who you n littlo
while"
. Edith thinking that pcVhaps ho hnil
brought some word from her mint In
Gormnntown, nskod us to leave them a
fow moments.
I did not wnnt to do so, for I did not
liko tlio looks of' him u bit, but as Edith
did not scom to four him, I could say
nothing, for I thought sho know him
better than I did.
As soon tho door closed upon up,
(this I learned tigood whilo afterwards)
Edith asked him if ho had como from
Gcrmantown, and If ho had any nowa
to tell her.
"Yce, Miss, ho snid, I left there throo
days ago. You tco I hnvo been nway
In another part of tho country, for qulto
awhllo, and just learned, when I got
back a week ago, of your unclo's death,
nnd your whereab.iuts, so I camo right
on to seo you."
"Rut why," akcd Edith, who thought
it strango that ho should seek hor out,
"what did you want with mo?"
"Not much of anything, said Picrro,
Impudently, until I heard your unolo
had left you a good deal of proporty."
"Sir;" said Edith, becoming alarm
ed nt tho suddon chango in tho man's
behavior, nnd ttartlng to tho door to
call mo.
"Not so fast, my lady, not so fast,"
said ho, starting forward and laying a
detaining hand upon her.
'Expose mo and ruin yourself."
"What do you mean sir," she cried,
shrinking away and looking at him wltlj
indignation,
"I mean this, Edith Elliott, and noth
ing more, that I am your fathor, and ns
suet,dumand tho attonlionof my daugh
ter." "My father! Your daughter!"
Edith could not believe henrlng, nnd
shrank still father away.
"Aye my haughty lady, porhaps you
do not believe mo, but you cannofc
deny tho evidenco of your own sensos."
With that, ho took from his fnco n
faleo mustache, nnd eyebrows, from Jds
hoad n wig, and throwing off his rough
and ragged overcoat, ho stood in tho
garb of n gentleman, and thero, jes,
thoio boforo hor, was tho living imago
of tho piciuio,,h(jr aunt had ahoyfi Jier
of hor father.
"Now, Miss Edith, are you' convlncj
od."
"Yes true, oh too truo," fnltorod
Edith, sinking upon n chair cntiroly
ovoreomo.
"Well that's n warm greeting for n
daughtor to bostow upon a lost father,"
ho sxarlcd.
"Oh why, why did yon como tamo,
to mako my Ufa miserable," sho sob
bed. "Slnco yon seem to understand mo
so well, it Is not nccossnry to tell you
that lovo did not bring me, though to
toll tho truth, when I hoard, by ohanco,
Hint I had a living elnld.nnd ilrst eough
you out In Germantown, it was from ij
dcslro nnd curiosity, to soo who you
rcsombled, and what you woro liko, X
found you Iho imago of myself m feat
ure, but m disposition liko your moth
or." "My motlior sir, Bho cried, hor
namo is too sacred for you oven to men
tion." "Ho,hojp"iile paragon, you proaph
to youMKfllor do you?"
"Wiathorl No, you aro not ray fath
er, for you hayo never deserved the
namo."
"Desorvod or not. ho said nmrrliv.
stopping closer to her, I am your fath
or nil tho snmo, whioh you will find lo
your sorrow, unless you como to tko
tonus with ino,"
Becoming again frightened, Edith
wns about to cnll lor aid, whou defining
her IntontlQn, ho said coolly.
"ThnU right,! should liko yqry much
to bo latroduoed to my daughters
fjlends,"
His words had tho doslrod effect, fos
Edith shank back nt tho thought, of ox
posing her misery and dlsgrneo to th
family,
Sho found horsolf, p,p,WQrlos3,and obllgj
