Saturday Evening Mail, Volume 5, Number 28, Terre Haute, Vigo County, 9 January 1875 — Page 3

Jonny Merrywoathor was a shrewd little person, us has been shown, and this unexpected appearance led her to thinking at once ana when Mrs. Martha bogan to approach the Bubiect of boating parties in what she fondly supposed a most adroit manner, Jenny electrified her with: "Now, Martha, what Is it? xo« liaven't eome all the way to Balem without a special purpose, and you might as well out with it at once."

And so it was that Martha Carntjuo was hurried into instant and premature confession of her errand.

from

*ut

Jonny

took it all with great external calmness. "Odd. YOU call him odd," she said, in answer to one of Martha's statements

don't seo anything odd about him. I

can

"understand him very well. Poor Martha drew a deeper breath. "Jenny, I hope you do understand lnm, for if vou do—"

Don'tsav disagreeable things about Mr. arrique, Martha. He is my friend, nothing more, 1 assure you. But he mv friend we can like our friends too well to hear them attacked unjustly, and you're attacking Mr. Carriqiie uniustlv when vou accuse him of trifling 'with me. He'has been very kind and .•ourteons to me. lie knew from the first that I knew of his engagement.

Martna could say no more. She felt now that she had said too much in using the word "trifling" as she had. v\ hen Prank came up the long, old-fashioned irardeu-path I'aat night she hastened to meet him, that she might tell him the fruitlessness of

her

errand. And Prank

was generous enough not to say, I tolil vou so, 1 knew you would make a mess of it, mv dear."

It was only a few minutes later that the irentleman. who was the hero of all

this

anxiety and commotion, walked leisurcl up the same garden-path. A briirlit, Interested look came into rank (!arrique's oyesja look that said plainl\! "Ah now I shall see

for

myself what

everything means. When he saw the expression of Jenny's face, on guard as the poor child was when ho sawHenry Carrique's glance and smile as he approached her, lie folt that the meaning was only too evident, and that meaning under the circumstances what his wife had clearly forseen and apprehended. I'erhaps, after all, Martha was nearer right in her summing up of Henry Carrique's character than he had been. As they sat there together OH the wide piaraa, with the outward appearance of harmony, there was what Edward Everett Halo would havo called "an atmosphere" that contradicted this apparent harmony. Henry Carrique was by no means obtuse to this atmosphere, and remembering Mrs. Franks previous efforts, he was not far perhaps

penetrating its cause. A little ripplo of amusement passed audaciously across his countenance, and looking seaward, whore a piled up mass of heavy clouds was rising, he said, lightly: "There's thunder in the air."

A flash of lightning at this moment sparkled in Mrs. Martha's eyes. She had seen the ripple of amusement, and the words sounded like a challenge. Frank himself was not unmoved, and for the instant a desire t© do or say something to the purpose was strong within him. And suddenly as it seemed tho opportunity was given him. The wind hud risen with tho rising of tho clouds, and a window that fronted the southeast, resisted Jenny's attempt at closing. Ilonry Carriqne sprang to her assistance. As ho turned back, Prank Carrique held towards hirn, a small, flat, liussia leather case lie had just picked up from the floor. The corner was torn off, and disclosed a portion of a photograph, and that photograph of a woman's head.

Yours, Ilenrv A nod of thanks ind that samo audacious smile again from Henry Carrique.

That mysterious sweetheart of yeurs, Ilenrv, I suppose. Coino, it istime3'ou told us something lurthor about hor, 1 think."

There was a certain roughness in Frank Carrique's voice, despito his jocular manner. Martha saw, did they all see tho sudden pallor of Jenny's face at this. Was it tho sight of that pallor thai produced such a chango in Henry Car

rique's

demeanor for in a moment his

tjaietv, his lightness fled, and after an instant of hesitation, he soemed to come to ft sudden resolution, which cost him a perceptible effort, an otFort that brought a tingo of color to his cheek, and a now tone into his voice as he spoke. Kor immediately acting as was evident upon this resolution, ho moved his chair slightlv forward and began: "You think should tell you something further about my mysterious sweetheart, as you call hor. I will tell you all that I know myself. About a year ago, when I was in Munich, I received a letter from Kato, containing her usual badinago, and speculation, and question ab ut my prospect of settling in lifo as she called it. Shonaid she had heard, through friends in Paris the HeydonS, you know—that I wa» verv attentive to a mystorious young

Polish girl who had beon in society for a short tima in Paris. I had met this Polish girl but throo times, as it happened, and knew nothing moro about her. Just after I had finished reading Katie's letter, I remember I went Into Johnny Carew's studio. Ho was a student in Munich, vou know, for two years. On his oasol, as I went In, a picture met my eyes that attracted mo, foi two reasons, the beauty of the faee, an tho old-fkshionod New England look ol tho dress which the figure was arrayed in. It was a copy he had been making he told mo of an old miniature Jio had brought with him, th© portrait of his mother's grand Aunt Dmsilla Carow. Wo both of us sat down bofbre this picture and examined it for awhile together, and then ho went out to keep an engagement, and I sat there fbr an hour to wait his roturn, and all the time directly in front of tho portrait. I don't mean to say that I was thinking Of the portrait all that time, I was thinking of a hundred other things but I found after I had left the studio, tho pictured face pursued me. I know I wont to a musical partv where met several distinguished artists, but through the tain and the music, and amidst tho throng of very prettv women, every now and then I would seo in my mind's eye we say

MissDrusiHa Carow. It waa not very singular then I suppose that I should see the voung woman again in my dreams that night. The next day I went into Carew's studio, and told him how his ancestress had haunted me. lie laughed and remarked: "She's coming back to atone to one of your family I suppose for hor porfidity in the past.'." I was all at soa at this, greatly to his surprise, for ho supposed ho said that all tho Carrique'* know tho old family traditions. However, I head it then and thero for tho first time from his Hp*, the old stery which I dare sa•you know, Rrank, that a oortain Mi.*» Drusilla Carow broke faith, and broke the heart of a Henry Oarriquo a oentury ago, or at any rate worked a geod deal of mischief with his lift*."

Frank nodded. "Ymh I know that old story, Henry, hut what connection

"It has with my storyT It is the very root of It M) you'll see if you have

ilence. Wei I, to go on after Johnny related tho old trmdlUon to ma, he

produced several photographs that he had liad taken of his portrait, and allowed me my choice. Evidently, he declared Miss Drusilla had some interest in mo from thus haunting me, and it waa but fair that 1 should possess her picture.

the joke was carried on by

his inquiring, when we met, how my phantom sweetheart was. When I wrote to Kate directly after this, the matter being fresh in my mind I carried the joke along by telling her that at last I had met my fate, but as all things were not as yet satisfactorily settled, though I considered myself an engaged man, I could not yet tell her the lady's name. When Johnny Carew wrote, as he was in tho habit of doing now and then, to Kate's husband, he made mysterious mention of painting the portrait of He»ry Carrique's sweetheart. So you can see what a fixed matter it became in Kate's mind. Of oourse, when I returned I intended to confess that it was all a jest. Well, I returned in May, aa you know. '1 ho note iu my memoran-dum-book is, "landed in New York, May 23d. I staid in New York two or throe days before I came on to Boston. The second night, May 24th. I had a curious dream. I dreamed that I was in your house, Frank, not in its present state, but t»s it was when Grandmother Carrique lived there, the old, unaltered colonial fashion. Thero soemed to bo a great party gathered in tho parlor, and I was the centre of it. As I stood there, a young girl entered, whose face was the faoe ol" Drusilla Carew, but whose costume was that of the present day. Then I noticed that all the rest of the company we»e dressed in tho old Revolutionary stylo. Only myself and this girl were in tho nineteenth century costume. As she entered I suddenly realized that the occasion was a betrothal or a bridal, and this young girl and myself were the principal actors. I stopped forward eagerly at this precedod by an elegant gentleman who was the image of old Colonel Carrique, as he is represented in Stuart's picture. But at this movement the young lady turned abruptly away, and presently alter a few weeds of remonstrance from tho old Colonel. she tied incontinently, followed by the Colonel himself. The dream may not seem impressive to you, but it made and fixed an odd impression upon ine. Well, this dream, as I said, occurred on the 24th of May. Three days after, I was sitti.ig in Tremont Temple, listening to John Weiss. Suddenly a little commotion took place near me— somebody wanted a fan I turned and saw in the lady who held the fan the image of Drusilla Carow and of my dream! I believe I may have been very rude in my close observation, and almost pursuit of this lady but—I hope she has forgiven me"—a half smile here, a quick look at Jenny's face, Jenny's faoe which was colorless, but which with wonderful self-command showed little of tho emotion that was agitating her. A quick look as quickly withdrawn, and then, "three days or nights after this I went out at your place, Frank, to an evening party, and there I again met the lady of my dream, tho image of Drusilla Carew, and she was dressed as I had seen her in my dream in white with pink roses." He gave another quick look now at Jenny, and then ilrow the phtograph from its case. "Here," to Frank, "you will see for yourself whose face this resembles."

Frank Carrique with a queer smile ibout his moth, regarded tho photograph.

Yes, I see," he said, "and it is not so much wonder. Drusilla Carew was Jt nnv Merryweather's grand aunt also, or her mother's. If Johnny Carew hadn't been burrowing ©ft there in Germany this half dozen years, ho might have told yon that thero was a flesh and blood fac-simile of the old picture down here in Salem in a small cousin of his. tiut Johnny's story has another gap in it. Drusilla, poor soul, didn't oreak Henry Carrique's heart, but got her own broken instead. It was a made-up match between the families, and upon Miss Drusilla rebelling, the3' shut her up in a certain red room in the Carrique inaasion—she was a ward of the old Colonel's, and an inmate of the house until her majority. And here they threatened and persecuted tho young woman until she went into a decline and died there. And ever since then hero has been a story that at certain times and to certain persons, these remote people appear and go through surne of their disreputable old pranks of threatening and persecution. 1 always thought this a great piece of humbug, md I do now, but I must own, Jenny, that all this dream business- of yours md Henry's is as pretty a piece of coincidence as anything I ever hear of. They did appear to Jenny, yon know, in a dream, Henry, and—but I'm not inning to stay to tell you that. It's timr we wore on our way if we are going to drive home to-night, Mart. The storm is over, you see, and I'll bring the horse round." In the little interval of "bringing tho horse around," Henry Carrique was wise enough to ask no questions, but afterwards when he fbund himself alone with Drusilla Carew's grand neice, ho asked one question in tho answer of which Jenny Merrvweather gave up al' thesecrets of her heart, all the queer dreams of this strange summer, gave thorn up forever into the keeping of her dream's hero, and thus perhaps laid tho restless ghost of the red room forever for it is another queer fact In this queer history, that from"that time, from the moment of Jonny Merryweather's (etrothed to Henry Carrique, thero was nothing fiirther ever heard from tho rod room nobody's dreams were ever disturbed by a sight of old lady Carrique's vindicative visage, or Colonel Carrique's blandly cruel face.

It is a fhet, yon knew, it is a fact, Frank, that lots of people have been worried by that old colonel, and his godless old mother when they've slept in the red room. There was Johnny Carew, and Tom and Mary and all the Martlets had a sight of 'em, and now the old thing is done with, and anybody, Carew or Carrique din sleep the sleep of thejust there. You may pooh, and talk fill you're blind, Frank, but there is the '"act!" Thus Mrs. Frank Carrique in answer to her skeptical husband. But skeptical as Frank Carrique is, he can never explain quite t* his own matter-of-flict satisfaction, the odd coincidence «f those "duplicate dreams," as ho calls them. It is a subject, however, that be generally avoids, but when drawn into it in family conclave, he disclaims all knowledge of details, and has latterly been known to term the whole history, "one of my wife'* Morics."

Henrv Carrique with a less contracted and perhaps more courageous intellect is quite willing to take Shakspeare's view, that "there are more things in Heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophybut his little wife with her Scotch ancestry, beats them all with her belief and unbelief. She scouts at Frank's "timid scoffing," as she calls it is entirely unbelieving in the theory »f coincidence, and believes as implicitly as Grandmother McKay ever could have done, that she and her husband were brought together by the ghosts of the red room.
