My Friend Fitzgerald.

Annlt Iiobertson Macfarlane in Harper's Weekly.

I.

I am a little fellow with insigniScant shoulders and legs not wortto considering. I have no talent, and no distlggulshed eccentricity. My manner, what there ia of it, ia timid and awkward. I know that mankind as a species does, not regard me at all, and that only mercenary motive# restrain my tailor from expressing his contempt for me. There is nothing more to say about myself, except that I have no imagination, which may serve to substantiate the facts I am about to narrate.

My friend Fitzgerald was my antipodes. He was tall and strong and winning. His name betrays his nationality, and hU nationality furnishes the keynote to a happy, fun-loving nature.

For six years, at school and at college, we were close companions, and then for four years we were separated. I, being by lucky accident rich, travelod for improvement and amusement Fitzgerald worked for bis living. He chose to be an engineer—I say chose, for whatever he had set his mind to do be would do brilliantly.

When I got round the world back to my point of departure, I found Fitzgerald about setting out for the northwest of Canada, where he wastoconduct a government survey. He expected to bo absent at least two years. Since coming home had meant little more than coming back to him, this plan of his filled with disappointment. Whon ho suggested that I should accompany the expedition 1 agreixl Joyfully. The day before that lixod for our departure he camo to mv rooms, looking nervous and excited, deigning not to notice his porturbution. I began running over a uiomorundum of things to be done. He interrupted me sharply. "Look here, Jack, I want you to go out with me at three o'clock this afternoon to mentioning a small town some twenty miles distant. "We will get there at four, leave again at livethirty, and reach home in time for din-

My tlino being peecious, I objected. "Do it, Jack. The matter is of vital importance to me."

An appeal from Fitzgerald was irreftistable. I agroed at onto. At three o'clock I mot him at tho railway station.

We had boon ten minutes on our way when he said, abruptly, "Jack, I am going to be married." ••The devil!"

My emphatic ox pletiveeehoed through tho car, and then he added: "I should not feel quite right about it if you were not there, and that is how I jersuaded Kinilv. ilesldeV' he continued, after a short'pauso. "I want you to see her. It will bo much to ino during two years of reparation to have some one near me who has setiti her."

Then, tho gates of his confidence being opened, ho plunged into lovers' hyperbole. I listened silently, my hat slouched over my

eyes,

aud my hands thrust deep

in my pockets. 1 could listen, and at the sanio time mentally review theyears of our friendship.

It had been my habit to scoff—au envious scoff, of course—at his love affairs. I know now that the time for scotllng was past, and I realized (with more than a woman's jealousy—I confess it) that bis love for this Kmlly would endure, and henceforth be the guiding impulse of his life, whether for good or 111.

On arriving at our station Fitzgerald went at once to the ladies' waiting-room. He returned with a young girl on his arm, whom he introduced to me as Miss Emllv (Jordon.

I shook hands with her vigorously, and stretched on tiptoe to get a nearvr view of her face, tor she was very tall. As I stared at her I chilled with disappointment—not a vague sentiment, but a decided opinion that the f»ce was not worth what Fitzgerald would sacrifice for it. The face was fair and finely featured, flushed tust now with excite tnent. The eyes were dark, and thoagh their wavering regard was childish and pretty, and. under the circumstance®, to be expected, that it was which made mv heart sink. Tho restless glance struck me not as a trick of tha moment demanded by the situation, but as expres»ing undesirable characteristics in the woman. There was not agleam of the steady, spiritual light such as it would have pleased me to see In the eyes of the woman who waa to be Flsgerald'a wife.

They were married in the Methodist parsonage by a very old man, and the marriage waa witnessed by the clergyman's wife and myself. Mrs. Fitzgerald insisted on her husband's takingtier marriage certificate, affirming childishly that she would sorely loee it. She bad left her home that morning with the avowed intention of visiting friends.

She was now to proceed on her journey, and her train would leave twenty minutes before ours for the city. I shook hands with her at the jrarsonags

Kd

te, saying, with elaborate tact, that 1 always longed to pry about this town. She was closely to FUuger-

peetiliarly interesting erring and clinging cl aid. She held my hand a moment.

He is going so far from me, and two veara are so long? You will take care of him. Promise me—oh, promise roe!" "I do, with my whole heart." I answered, and turned away from tbem.

I liked ber better. The tears and the sob in her voice had touched me, almost won me. dull senses were partially wakened to the attraction which such a creature might have for a man of strong pensions and imagination. If it had not been for that first wretched impression, I *hnui«l have been in love ou the spot with Fitzgerald's wife.

We were on oar way home when be asked me what I thought oi ber. I

you asvinir. Java. You

are as cold as ice. ,, "Yon forget. Yoo are at fever heat. "Then what are you feeling?" he buret out irritably. "What are you thinking that detracts from her?

I had been coldly thinking the worst of her. I was startled into an unequivocal answer. "I am thinking that she has not the strength to appreciate you or to be true to you. I am fearing that nothing but ill will come to you of what you have done to-day."

I expected that he would turn me furiously, but he did not. His lost its color, and he said, as if reasoning with himself, not in answer to me: "It was her own wish. I would have trusted her without any pledge. It will be strange if she does not regret this day yet I stake my soul thatsbe never will."

I said to myself. "He has given her his best surely that cannot have been unworthily bestowed." I dug a grave for doubts and suspicions, aud tried to cover tbem deep. .II.

We were in winter quarters in a canon of the Fraser river. We had had no mail for several weeks, and toward the end of the year we concluded thac there were a nobte army of martyrs and an accumulations of mail bags beneath the snowdrifts which stretched almost unbroken for a hundred miles, the distance to the neartfet post station. One dav, after a week of almost uninterruptedly fine weather, the welcome messenger arrived—arrived on his low sledge drawn by eight sure-footed dogs—arrived in hot haste, with bells jingling, and frostpowdered beard, and bright eyes gleaming out from a frame of furs, for all the world like a belated Santa Claus.

Fitzgerald, as usual, opened the bag, and I knew by bis puzzled look that the letters eagerly expected by him from his wife were missing. He [kept apart from us all day, uufc in the evening joined the group round the lire, with a

pipe and newspaper. There was a young who I knew was fully 6 Miss Emily Gorlove of Fitzgerald anc

jster in our party informed of the 88 Emily Gor­

don—as far," that is, as the affair bad

gossiped over by his mamma and her women friends. When this youth, buried in a home paper, whistled shrilly, and shouted, "Say, Fitzgerald, here's a nut for you!" I felt certain that he had news of Fitzgerald's wife. "What is it?" Fitzgerald asked, indifferently, not looking up from his paper. "About that stunning Miss Gordon— the girl you were such spoons on. Do you remember?"

Fitzgerald took his pipe from his mouth. "I remembfer. What about her ope Emily Gordon, one of our fairest daughters, is to many the young and distinguished Count Mondella. Both parties being of the Roman Catholic faith, the wedding is soon to be celebrated in the Holy City with great eclat.'"

I wondered how Fitzgerald could quietly listen to this announcement, read in the most deliberate manner. I could hardly refrain from getting up audyelliug. My astonishment increased when, having asked for the paper, he carefully re-read the item then, taking his great fur ooat, he left the room. In a few minutes I joined him, and we walked to and fro together on the hardpacked snow before the shanty. "You see, Jack, I must leave at once." "Yes," I acquiesced "I suppose you could not rest here." Then I protested: "Fitzgerald, let ber go. She is weak, faithless, unworthy."

He repeated my adjectives with evident perplexity. I see. Your old injustice to her. You misunderstand. Tho case is as plain as daylight. This count dance attendance on her her parents encourage him people talk of them together, and a wholesale manufacturer of lies—a newspaper correspondent sends idle gossip to America as fact. She is the victim of a persecution. They may have discovered our secret, and prevented her writing to me. How far away is she? Not miles, days—ten, twenty, thirty. I shall pot rest till she Is safe in my arms, for she is my wife. You know it, Jack% They may marry her to a thousand counts, but she is ray wie."

Feeling that the moment was not happy for the presentation of views, I presented no more. I agreed to all the absurdltios he chose to advance.

The next morning he announced to tho camp that he was going to Fort Garry to consult some engineers, and would probably be absent about two months. I was to accompany him, and undertook the preparations for the journey.

About noon an Indian runner camein ou snow shoes with an extra mail. There was on* letter Ifcr Fitzgerald and the handwriting was bis wife. I sent the letter to his private room. In about half an hour I knocked at his door, and he said, "Come in."

He was sitting before a table, leaning on it with folded arms. As if anticipat log and wishing to evade inquiry, he said, "I suppose you have been getting things ros.ly." "Yes. Vfecan leave at any minute.' "I am undecided about going now. 1 think I will put it off until to-morrow, at all events. I am sorry to have given you so much trouble." "Just as you please," I said. "I am ladifferent." "What a good fellow you are, Jack!" he said, standing up ana looking at me. A casual observer might have thought his face only pale from overwork or want of rest. To me it was dead, like a fine portrait without any light In the eyes.

I thrust my hands In my pockets and shuttled my feet, overcome by the embarrassment which words of sincere kindliness always excite in me. "Can't I help you? Tell me something to do for yon." ,'The kindest thing you can do is to leave me alone."

I sidled to the door. "Do go, Jack," be burst out, impetuously. "I can't bear to havs even you

Before be could finish his sentence I was on the other side of the door. I felt that Mrs. Fitzgerald's letter bad merely confirmed the newspaper report. If the marriage, which had been but a legal form, could beannulled, I suspected that Fitzgerald would doit. I had no doubt that he would scorn to strike the woman who had wounded him mortally. When I fell asleep that night all my suspicions and beliefs bad merged into burning *ange against ber, ana a determination to seek the opportunity to inflict on her some im~pertahable ill.

I fell aaleej) with this one idea in my brain, and I was wakened from that sleep by a cry: "Jack!

Jack! Help! beip!n

My sense* were penetrated by the voice of a man in agon v. crying for succor, crying for nee, and the voice was the voice of my friend Fitzgerald. 1 tried to Ufl myself from my bed, but a heavy weight bald roe down. I strug-

fled

to speak, bat my tongue was tied. rubbed my eyes, but the Uds seemed glued. At fast tbey parted slowly, and I saw that of which my mind has never lost the faintest impreesion. I was not

lying on my bed I was not in the low, square room, with half a dozen men sleeping about me. I was standing on tbe river's brink several miles below the station, standing there alone in the awful stillness of a winter's night in tbe wilderness. The moonlight was so brilliant that every object was distinctly visible.

I saw not twenty feet from me a break in the ice, and the blue was bubbling up clearly. Above the water rose a man's fair, strong head, and two hands grasping, trying to lift the body beneath up to the ice, which broke aud crumbled away from their touch.

He was dying before my eyes, and could not stir an inch to save him. 8aw the beating of his hands grow feebler and the tension of his face relax. "Spare her, Jack! Spare her!" he cried. -v

I was silent.

I got up slowly, and the motion was ainful, for my whole body was numb, spoke with hesitation, as if the power of speech was new to me. itzgerald did not go up the river ne went down toward Carter's Station. He has been drowned six miles below."

My shout loused most of the men. They all exclaimed incredulously that I had been dreaming. I stood my ground, and was already getting ready to go out. The kogged persistence of such a matter-of-fact fellow as I, impressed them, and they prepared to accompany me. When we reached the river we put on our skates. We could not distinguish tracks, for we had recently been skating a great deal, taking advantage of the clear ice, rare so late in the season. I led down the river, the others following, laughing at my expense. Soon the infection of my profound hopelessness spread, and In ten minutes all were skating swiftly, toward whatever awaited us. When but a sharp headland lay between us and the spot I had seen in my vision I halted. "Ha is lying just beyond there. If the ice ia broken we shall know."

We rounded the point In line. The ice was broken and thrown up in pieces, and the water still bubbling.

I have not much more to tell. It was afterward discovered that he bad struck one of the shallow springs on a sandy bottom which never freeze solidly. The water would not have covered him standing, but the numbing influence of the intense cold and the frailness of tbe the surrounding ice had prevented his saving himself.

I offer no explanation of what I saw or heard, but six men can testify that, when miles away from him, I saw the dying face ancfheaid the dying words of my friend Fitzgerald, and that I led them to the spot where they found him.

He had left a letter for me iu his private room. He s«id that he was goiug to take legal advice and find the quietest means of rendering void tho marriage ceremony I had witnessed. He asked me to look after his traps, and assured mo that as soon as he folt equal to taking up old associations he would let me know. As I read his letter I cried like girl.

In his pocketbook I found his marriage certificate and the last letter she had written him. I carefully dried both, and as carefully read the latter. What a weak, miserable, cringing effusion, characteristic of the writer! Pages of alternate whining and bullying, ending with this paragraph: "If you force any claim, my Church will set it aside. That would make a scandal, and I have never been talked about, and I should oe very nervous under disagreeable talk. It would be very unmanly and underbred in you to give me so much trouble, and at least I have always considered you a gentleman."

I swore that she should have cause to be nervous. I knew that such a woman could not be wounded mentally or spiritually, and that the blow must be struck at mental comfort*.

I left the station immediately. From the first telegraph station I reached I sent a message to Miss Emily Gordon te her Roman address: "Fear nothing. I will arrange as you desire." 1 signed Fitzgerald's ime.

A mouth afterward I was in Venice, in tbe hotel with the Count and Countess Mondella.

On tbe night of my arrival I made a te of beginning "My husa variety of tender qualifications, and signed "Etnily Fitzgerald." With these I placed the marriage certificate and tbe last letter. 1 addressed the package to tbe Count Mondella, intending the next morning it should be put in bis hands.

I went to bed feeling comparatively cheerful. My sleep was but a repetition of the sleep in which I saw Fitzgerald die. When I came to my senses 1 knew that I must spare ber. I did not doubt then, and have never doubted since, that tbe repetition of the vision was the work of an excited brain but the impression was so vivid that I felt myself bound by an oath to the dead to spare ber. I readdressed tbe package to the Countess Mondella, and ordered my messenger to deliver it into no hands but her own. So with my own bands 1 deprived myself of the means of avenging my friend's death, in obedience to bis generous and noble spirit, in contradiction to my own insignificant rage and vindictive desire.

I saw her once In tbe corridor, leaning on tbe arm of her husband, beautiful and triumphant, with ber false eyes dickering still. I wondered then why such a woman should have showered on her tbe gifts that the world holds best, and why a man who, by tbe mere fart of living in it, made tbe world better, should be lying dead in a wilderness, heart-broken and murdered by ber.

Then once again he cried, and that sound I think will always echo about the word with me: "Speak to me. Give me a sign."

I forgot my hatred of her and my resolve to hurt her I was sensible only of his pitiful pleading. By a great effort I flung up my right hand as a sign of acquiescence.

Hi« hands fell, his head sank back ward, and the blue water sparkled and bubbled in tbe moonlight. I shouted, "Fitzgerald! Fitzgerald!" I seemed to spring forward, when the whole scene was transformed. I was sitting up in bed, and the watch by the lire was say-

hat's the matter? What are you making such a row about /Where is Fitzgerald?" I said, look ing round, and seeing that his place in the row of mattresses was vacant. "He went out about an hour ago. He said he couldn't sleep, and was going to skate up the river to Thompson's Siation."

The Greatest Curative §uce«ss

l,

of tfie Age.

54

No medicine introduced to the public has ever met with the success accorded to Hop Bitters. It stands to-day the best known curative article in the world. Its marvelous renown is not due to the advertising it has received. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does all that is claimed for it. It is the most powerful, speedy and effective agent known for the building up of debilitated .systems and general family medicine. :,ys:

Winsdon, Forsythe Co., N. C., March 15,1880. Gents—I desire to express to yoa my thanks for your wonderful Hop Bitters. I was troubled with Dyspepsia for five years previous to commencing the use of your Hop Bitters some six months ago. My cure has been wonderful.

fation

MRS. FAXKIK URBBN.

Evansville, Wis., June 24,1882.

Gentlemen—No medicine has had one-half the sale here and given such universal satisfaction as your Hop Bitters have. We take pleasure in speaking for their welfare, as every one who tries them is well satisfied with their results. Several such remarkable cures have been made with them here that there area number of earnest workers in the Hop Bitters cause. One person gained eleven pounds from taking only a few bottles.

SMITH& II».

Bay City, Mich., Feb. 8,1880.

Hop Bitters Company—I think it my duty to send you a recommend for the benefit of any person wishing to Hop Bitters are good or not. I know they are good for general debility and indigestion strengthen the ner-

DR.A.my

PLATT, Treater of Chronic Diseases. Superior, Wis., Jan.,1880. I heard in my neighborhood that your Hop Bitters was doing such a great deal of good among the sick and afflicted with most every kind of disease, and as I have been bl jy trouble, I took one bottle according to di-

troubled for fifteen years with neuralgia and all kinds of rheumatic complaintt and Kldne rectlons. It once did me a great deal of good and I used four bottles more. I am an old man, but am now as good as I can wish. There are seven or eight families in our place using Hop Bitters for their family medicine, and are so well satisfied with it they will use no other. One lady here has been bedridden for years, is well and doing her work from the use of three bottles.

LEONARD WUITBECK.

Wbat It Did for an Old Lady. Coshocton Station,N. Y.,Dec, 28,1878. Gents—A number of people had been using your Bitters here and with marked effect. A lady of over seventy years, had been sick for the past ten years she has not been able to be around. Six months ago she was helpless. Her old remedies, or physicians being of n6 avail, I sent forty-five miles, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It had such an efiect on her that she was able to drees herself and walk about the house. After taking two bottles more she was able to take care of her own room and walk out to her neighbor's, and lias in proved all the time since. My wife aud children also have derived great benefit from their use. W. B. HATHWAY,

Agt. U. S. Ex. Co.

Honest old Tim. Gorhain, N. H., July 14, 1879.

Gents—Whoever you are, I don't know but I tbank the Lord, and feel grateful to you to know that In this world of adulterated medicines there is one compound that proves and does all it advertises to do, and more. Four years ago I had a slight shock of palsy, which unnerved me to such an extent that the least excitement would make me shake like the lurue. Lutst May 1 was induced to try Hop Bitters. I used one bottle, but did not see any change another did so change my nerves that they are now as steady as they ever were. It used to take both hands to write, but now my good right nand writes this. Now, if you continue to manufacture as honest and good an article as yon do, you will accumulate an honest fortune, and confer the greatest blessing on your fellow-men that was ever conferred on mankind. Anna Maria Krl4er,wire ofToblas K-

Chambersburg, July 25,1875.

This is to let the people know that I, Anna Maria Krider, wife of Tobias Krlder, am health past. I uieu wiui trcMuvsi, inu cough, dyspepsia, great debility and constipation of the bowels. I was so miserable I could eat nothing. I heard of Hop Bitters and was resolved to try them. I have only used three bottles, and I feel wonderful good, well and strong again. My bowels are regular, mr good, and cough gone. I think It my duty to let the people know how bad I was and what the medicine has done for me so they can cure themselves with it.

My wife was troubled for years with blotches moth patches, freckles and pimples on her face, which nearly annoyed the life out of ber. 8he spent many dollars on the thousand infallable cures, with nothing but Injurious effects.

A LADY, Augusta, Me.

I had been sick and miserable so long, causing my husband so much trouble and expense, no one knowing what ailed me. 1 was so completely disheartened and discouraged that I got a bottle of Hop Bitters and used tbem unknown to my family.
