CHAPTER IX. -!t|

lovbbs parted.

Walter, little dreaming the blow his own lovo had received, made Percv write to Jalia an apology, and an invitation to visit his new house if ho was forgiven. Julia said she could not forgive him, and would not go. Walter said, "Put on your bonnet, and take a little drive with me." "Oh, with pleasure," said Julia, slyly.

So then Walter drove her to the new bouse, without a word of remonstrance on her part, and Fu/.roy met her radiant and Waiter slipped away round the corner, and when he carne back the quarrel had distiolved. He had brought a hamper with all the necessaries of life. Table-cloth, napkins, knives, forks, spoons cold pie, wuiurl, and champagne. They lunched beside the brook on the lawn The lover.* drank bis health, and Julia appointed hitn solemnly to the post of "peace-maker," "for,' sh6 said, ••you have shown great talent that way, and I foresee we snail want one, for we shall be always quarrelling sha'n't we, Percy*" n—never again." "Ihen you musn't be jealous."

I'm not. I d—despise j—jealousy. I'm above it." "Oh, indeed," said Julia, dryly. "Come, don't begin again, you two, said Walter, "or—no champagne." "Now what a horrid t^catl' said Julia. "I'll be good'for one."

In short they had a merry time, and Walter drove Julia home. Both were in high spirts.

In the ball Walter found a short j|Ote lrom Mary Hartley: "Dear,

djsak

Walter,—I write with

a bleeding heart to tell you that papa has only just discovered our attachment and I am grieved to say he disapproves of it, and has forbidden me to encourage your love, that is dearer to me than aH the world. Do not make obediance too difficult, dear Walter. And pray, pray do not be as unhappy as I am. He says he has reasons, but he has not told ine what they are, except that your father has other views for you but, indeed, with both parents against us what can we do? For give the pain this will give you. Ask yourself whether it gives me any less. You were all the world to me. Now everything is dull and distasteful. We are very unfortunate. But it can not bo forever. And If you will be constant to me, you know I shall to you. I could not change. Ah, Walter, I little thought when I said I would temporize, how soon I would be called on to do it. can't write any more for crying. 1 do nothing but cry ever since papa was so cruel but I must obey.

Yourloviug, sorrowful MARY.' This letter was achillirfg blow to poor Walter. He took it into his room and read it again and again. It brought the tears into W* eyes, and discouraged him deeply for a time. But, of course, be was not so disposed to succumb to authority as the weaker vessel was. He Wrote buck: "My

own

Love,—Don't grieve for

me. I don't care for anything so long as you love mt. I shall resist, of course. As for my father, I am going to marry Julia to Percy Fitzroy, and so end my governor's nonsense. As for your father, 1 do not dlspair o! softening him. Ii Is only a chockj it Is not a defeat* Who on earth can part us if we are true to each other God bless you, dearest! I did not think you loved me so much. Your lottor gives me comfort forever, and only disappointments for a time. Don't fret sweet love. It will be all right in the end.

Your grateful, hopeful love, till death, "Walter." Mary opened this letter with a beatlug heart. She read it with tears and arnlles and utter amasemont. She knew ao little about the male character that this way of receiving a knock down blow astonished and charmed her. She thought to herself, no wonded women look up to Hieu. They nn'U have their own way they assist, of course. How sensible, we give in, right or wrong. What a comfort

have got a man to

back me, and not a poor sorrowing, desparlttg, obeying thing like myselfl So she was comforted for the minute, and settled in her own mind that she would be good and obedient, and Walter should do all the fighting. But letters soon cesse to satisfy the yearning hearts of lovers unnaturally separated. Walter and Mary lived so near each other, yet now they nevar met. Bartley took care of that. He told Mary she must not walk out without a maid or ride without a servant and he gave them both special order*. He even obliged her with his own company, though that rather bored him.

Under this severe restraint Mary's health and spirits suffered, and she lost some of her beautiful color.

Walter's spirits were kept up only by anger. Julia Clifford saw he was in trouble' and asked him what was the matter. ««Oh, nothing that would Interest yon," said he, rather sullenly.

Excuse me," said she. "I am always interested in the troubles of my friends, and you have been a good friend to me." "It is very good of you to think so. Well, then, yeau lam unhappy. I am crassed in love." "la it that fair girl you.Introduced me to when oat riding?" .»5. "Yea." 4 "She is lovely." "Miss Clifford, she is an angel." "Ha! ha! We are all angels till we are found out. Who is the man?" "What mas?" "That she prefers to my good Walter. She deserves a good whipping, jour xim) 43

but she Walter, her shoes, other." "W

'ell, yon needn't fly oat at me. I am your friend, as yo« will see. Make me yoar confidante. Explain, please. How can yon be crowed in love if there's no other man?" "It's ber father. He has discovered our love, and forb*ds her to speak to me.* "Her father!** said Jalia, contemptuously. "Is that all? 7%at for her fetter! Yon shall hare her to spite of fifty father*. It it had bean a lover, now."

"I should have talked to him, not to you," said Walter, with bis eyes flashing. "Be quiet, Walter as it is not a lover, nor even a mother, yon shall have the girl and a very sweet girl she is. Will you accept me for your ally? Women wiser than men in these things, and derstand one another." ..... "Oh, Clifford," Mid Walter, "this is good of you! Of course it will be a great blessing to us', both to have your sympathy and assistance." "Well then," said Julia, "begin by telling me—have you spoken to her father?" "No." "Then that is the very first thing to be done. Come, order our horses. We will ride over directly. I will call on Miss Bartley, and you on Mister. Now mind,

are nn-

him7 the young lady and I will learn each other's minds with a celerity you pcor slow things have no idea of." "I see one thing," said Walter, "that I am a child in such matters compared with you. What decision! what promptitude!" "Then imitate it, young man. Order the horses directly and she stamped her foot impatiently.

Walter turned to the stables without another word, and Julia flew upstairs to put on her riding-habit.

Bartley was in his study wi$h a map of the farm before him, and two respectable but rather rough men in close conference over it. These were practical men from the country of Durham, whom he had ferreted out by means of an agent, man who knew a great d«al about coal. They had already surveyed the farm, and confirmed Hope's opinion that eoal lay below the surface of certain barren fields, and the question now was as to the exact spot wnere it would be advisable to sinic the first shaft.

Bartley was heart and seul in this, and elevated by love of gain far above such

Slary

uny considerations as the happiness of Bartley and her lover. She, poor girl, sat forlorn in her little drawingrooin, and tried to draw a bit, and tried to read a bit, and tried to reconcile anew Qerman symphony to her ear as well as to her judgment, which told her it was too learned not to be harmonious, though it sounded vary discordant. But all these efforts ended in a sigh of despondency, and in brooding on innocent delights forbidden, and a prospect which, to her youth and inexperience, seemed a wilderness robbed of the sun.

Whilst she sat thus pensive and sad there came a sudden rush and a clatter of hoofs, and Miss Clifford and Walter Clifford reined up their horses under the very window

or other, and her heart beat nigh. Walter opened the door and stood beside it, affecting a cold ceremony. "Miss Bartley, I have brought Miss Clifford to call on you at her request. My own visit is to your father. Where shall I find him "In his study," murmured Miss Bartley.

Walter returned, and the two ladies looked at each other steadily for one moment, and took stock ef oae another's dress, looks, charaoter, and soul with supernatural rapidity. Then Mary smiled, and motioned her visitor to a seat, and waited.

Miss Clifford made her approaches obliquely at first. "I ought to apologize to you for not returning your call before',tnis. At any rate, here I am,at last." "You are most welcome, Miss Clifford said Maiy, warmly.

Now the ice is broken, I want you to call me Julia." May I

iiPs

"You may, and you must, if I call you Mary. Why, you know we are cousins at least I suppose so. We are both cousins of Walter Clifford, and so we must be cousins to each other, Mary."

And she fixed hpr eyes

011

her fair

hostess in a very peculiar way. Mary returned this look with such keen intelligence that her gray eyes actually scintillated. "Mary, I seldom waste much time before 1 come to the point. Walter Clifford is a good fellow he has behaved well to mo. I had a quarrel with mine, and Walter played the peacemaker, and brought us .together again without wounding my pride. By and by I found out Walter himself was in grief about you. It was my turn, wasn't it? I made him tell me all. He wasn't very willing, but I would know. I see his love Is making him miserable, and so is yours, dear." "Dh yes." "So 1 took it on me to advise him. I have made him call on yonr father. Fathers sometimes )ooh-pooh their daughters' affections but wheu the son of Colonel Clifford comes with a formal proposal of marriage, Mr. Bartley can not pooh-pooh him.

Mary clasped her hands, but said nothing. Julia flowed on*

And the next thing is to comfort you. You seem to want a good cry, dear." "Yes, I d-do." "Then come here and take it."

No sooner said than done. Mary's head on Julia's shoulder, and Julia's arm around Mary's waist. "Are you better, dear." "Oh, so much." "It is a comfort, isn't it? Well, now, listen to me. Fathers sometimes delay a girl's happiness but they dont often destroy it they don't go and break her heart at some mothers do. A mother that is resolved to have her own way brings another man forward fathers are too simple to see that Js tte is a

things a man would call vil

lainies. Don't you tret yonr heart out for so small a thing as a fathers opposition. You are sure to tire him ont if he loves you, and it he doesn't love you or loves money better, why, then, he is not a worthy rival to my cousin Walter, for that m»i\ rosily loves you, and would marry you if yon had no* a penny. So would Percy Fltwroy marry me. And that is why I prefer him to the grenadiers and plungers with silky mustaches and half an eye on me and an eye ands half on my money."

Many other things passed between tbe*e two, but what we have endeavored to repeat was the cream of Julia's discourse, and both her advice and sympathy were tor the time a wonderful comfort to tb* v.Htfek, solitary girl.

But our business is with Walter Clifford. As soon ss he was announced, Mr. Bartley missed his rugged visitors, and ,ed Waiter aflfcbly, though a lictte stiffly.

Walter opened hH business at once and told him be had come to ask bis permission to court his daughter. He ssid he hid admired her from the first moment, wad now his happiness depended on tor, and he felt sure be could make ber happy not. of conrse^by his money, but by his devotion. Then to making a proper provision tor her

Hers Hartley stopped him. •'My young friend/* Mid be, "there

can be no objection either to your person or position. But there are difficulties, and at present they are serious ones. Your father has other views." "But, Mr. Bartley," said Walter, eagerly, "he must abandon them. The lady is engaged." "Well, Mien," said Bartley, "it will be time to come to me when he has abandoned those views, and also overcome his prejudices against me and mine. But there is another difficulty. My daughter is not old enough to marry, and I object to long engagements. Everything, therefore, points to delay, and on this 1 must insist.

Bartley having taken this moderate ground, remained immovable. He promised to encourage no other suitor but in return he said he had a right to demand that Walter would not disturb bis daughter's peace of mind until the prospect was clearer. In short, instead of being taken by surprise, the result showed Bartley quite prepared for this interview, ana he baffled the young man without offending him. He was cautious not to do that, because he was going to mine for coal, and feared remonstrances, and wanted Walter to take his part, or at least be neutral, knowing his love for Mary. So they parted good friends but when he retail* ed the result to ulia Clifford she shook her head, and said the old fox had outwitted him. Sosn after, knitting her brows in thought for some time, she said, "She is very young, much younger thsn she looks. I am afraid you will have to wait a little, and watch." "But," said Walter, in dismay, "am I not to see ber or speak to her, all the time I am waiting?" "I'd see both fathers hanged first, if I was a man," said Julia.

In short, under the courageous advice of Julia Clifford, Walter began to throw himself in Mary's way, and look disconsolate that set Mary pining directly, and Julia feutid her pale, and grieving for Walter, and persuaded her to write him two or three lines of comfort she did, and that drew pages from him. Unfortunately he did not restrain himself, but flung his whole heart upon paper, and raised a tumult in the innocent heart of her who read his passionate longings.

She was so worked upon that at last one day she confided to Julia that her old nurse was going to visit her sister, Mrs. Gilbert, who lived only ten miles off, and she thought she should ride and see her.

When?" asked Julia, carelessly Ob, any day next week," said Maty, carelessly. "Wednesday, if it is fine. She will not be there till Monday," "Does she know?" asked Julia. "Oh yes and left because she could not agree with papa about it and, dear, she said a strange thing—a very strange thing: she knew papa's reasons against him, *and they were her reasons for him." "Fancy that!" said Julia. "Your father told you what the reasons were?" "No be wouldn't. They both treat me like a child."

You mean they pretend to," she add©d I see one thing there is some mystery behind this. I wonder what it is?" "Ten to one, it is money. I am only twenty, but already I have found out that money governs the world. Let me see—your mother was a Clifford. She must have had money. Did she settle any on you?" "I am sure don't know." "Ten to one she did, and your father is your trustee and when you marry, he must show his accounts and cash up. There, that is where the shoe pinches."

Mary was distressed. "Oh, don't say so, dear. I can't bear to think that of papa. You make me very unhappy." "Forgive me, dear," said Julia. "I am too bitter and suspicious. Someday I will tell you things in my own life that have soured me. Money—I hate the very word," she said, clinching her teeth. ^.

She urged her view no more, but in hor own heart she felt sure that she had read Mr. Bartley aright. Why, he was a trader, into the bargain.

As for Mary, when she came to think over this conversation, her own subtle instinct told her that stronger pressure than ever would now be brought on her. Her timidity, hor maiden modesty, and her desire to do right set her on her defense. She determined to have loving but impartial advice, and so she overcame her shyness, and wiote to Mr. Hope. Even thou she was in no hurry to enter on such a subject by letter, so she must commence by telling him that her father had Beta groat many people, moat of them strangers, to dig for coal. That cross old thing, Colonel Clifford, had been heard to sneer at her dear father, and say unkind and disrespectful things—that the love of money led to loss of money, and that papa might just as well dig a well and throw his money into that. She herself was sorry he bad not waited for Mr. Hope's return before undertaking so serious a speculation. Warmed by this preliminary, she ventured into the delicate subject, and told him the substance of what we have told the reader, only in afar more timid and suggestive way, and implored him to advise her by return of post if possible—or why not come home? Papa nad said only yesterday, "I wish Hope was here." She got an answer by return of post. It disappointed her, on the whole. Mr. Hope realizied the whole situation, though she had sketched it faintly instead of painting it boldly. He was all sympathy, and he saw at once that he could not himself imagine a better match for her than Walter Clifford. But then he observed that Mr. Bartley himself offered no personal objection, but wished the matter to be in abayance until she was older, and Colonel Clifford's objection to the connection should be removed or softened. That might really be hoped for shonld Mix Clifford marry Mr. Fitzroy and really in the mean time he (Hope) could hardly take on him to encourage her in impatience and disobedience. He should prefer to talk to Bartley first. With him he should take a less hesitating line, and set ber happiness above everything. In short, wrote cautiously. He inwardly resolved to be on the spot very soon, whether Bartley wanted him or not out be did not tell Mary this.

Mary was disappointed. "How kind id wise be is!" she said to Jalia—"too

warm embrace by Mrs. Gaston. Altera while the latter invited her into the parlor, saying there is somebody but no one knows. This, however, though hardly unexpected, set Mary's heart htatiDg, and when the parlor door was opened. Mis. Esston stepped back, and Mary was alone with Walter Clifford.

Then might those who oppose an honest aad tender affection have learned a lesson. It was

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVEKIHG- MAIL

longer affection

only. It was passion. Walter was pale agitated, eager he kissed hear hands impetuously, and drew ber to his bosom. She sobbed there be poured inarticulate words over her, and still held bar, pantlog, to his beating heart. Even when the first gush of love subsided a little ha could not be so reasonable ss he used to

be. He was wild against his own father hers, and every obstacle, and implored her to marry him at once by special license, and leave the old people to untie the knot if they conld.

Then Mary was astonished and hurt. "A clandestine marriage, Mr. Clifford!' said she. "I thought yen bad more respect for me than to mention such a thing."

Then he had to beg her pardon, and say the separation had driven him mad. Then she forgave him.

Then he took advantage of her clemency, and proceeded calmly to show her it was their only chance

WOO W4JW WW f» "I and bound him on his honor never to mention to Julia Clifford that he had proposed such a thing. Walter promised that readily enough, but stuck to his point and as Mary pride was wounded, and she was a girl of great spirit though love-sick, she froze te him, and soon after said she was very sorry, but she must not stay too long, or papa would be angry. She then begged him not to come out of the parlor, or the servant would see him. "That is a trifle," said Walter. "1 am going to obey you in greater things than that. "Ah Mary, Mary, you don't love me as I love you!" "No, Walter," said Mary, "I do not love you as you love me, for I respect you." Then her lip trembled, and her eyes filled with tears.

Walter fell on bis knees, and kissed her skirt several times then ended, with her hand. "Oh, don't harbor such, a thought as that!'' said he.

She sobbed, but made no reply. They parted good friend0, but chilled. That made them both unhappy to think of.

It was only two, or at (me most three, days after this that, as Mary was walking in the garden, a nosegay fell at her feet. She picked it up, and immediately found a note half secreted in it. The next moment it was entirely secreted in her bosom. She sauntered in-doors, and scudded upstairs to her room to read it.

The writer told her in a few agitated words that their fathers had met, and he must speak to her directly. Would she meet him for a moment at the garden gate at nine o'clock that evening "No, no, no!" cried Mary, as if he was there. She was frightened. Suppose they should be caught. The shame—the disgrace. But oh, the temptation Well, then, how wrong of him to tempt her! She must not go. There was no time to write and refuse but she mn»t not go. And in this resolution she persisted. Nine o'clock struck and she never moved. Then she began to picture Walter's face of disappointment and his unhappiness. At ten minutes past nine she tied a handkerchief around her head and went.

There he was at the gate, pale and agitated. He did not give her time to scold him. "Pray forgive me," he said "but I saw no other way. It is all over, Mary,, unless you love me as I love you." "Don't begin by doubting me," she said. "Tell me, dear." "It is soon told. Our fathers have met at that wretched pit, and the foreman has told toe what passed between them. My father complained that mining for coal was not husbandry, and it was very unfair to do it, and to smoke him out of house and home. (Unfortunately the wind was west, aad blew the smoke of the steam engine over his lawn.) Your father said be took the farm under that express stipulation. Colonel Clifford said, 'No the condition was snuggled in.' 'Then snuggle it out,' said Mr. Bartley." "Oh!"' "If it had only ended there, Mary. But they were l)bth in a passion, and must empty their hearts. Colonel Clifford said he had every respect for you, but had other views for his son. Mr. Bartley said he was thankful to hear it, for he lseked higher for his daughter. 'Higher in trade, I suppose,' said my father 'the Lord Mayor's nephew.' 'Well,' said Mr. Bartley, *1 would rather marry her to money than to mortgages. And the end of it was that they parted enemies for life." "No, no nofc for life "For life, Mary. It is an old grudge revived. Indeed, the first quarrel was only skimmed over. Don't deceive yourself. We have nothing to do but disobey them or part." "And you can say that, Walter Oh, have a little patience!" "So I would," said Walter, "if there ^ffesany hope. But there is none. There is nothing to wait for but the death of our parents, and by that time I shall be an elderly man, and you will have lost your bloom and wasted your youth—for what? No I feci sometimes this will drive me mad, or make me a villain. I am beginning to hato my own father, and everybody else that thwarts my love. How can they earn my hate more surely? No, Mary I see the future as plainly as I see your dear face, so pale and shocked. I can't help it. If you will marry me, and so make sure, I will keep it secret as long as you like I shall have got you, whatever they may say or do but if you won't, I'll lesve the country at once, and get peace if I can't get love." "Leave the country?" said Mary, faintly. "What good would that do?" "I don't know. Perhaps bring my father to his senses for one thing and— who knows?—perhaps you willlisten to reason when you see I can't wait for the consent of two egotists—for that is what they both are—that have no real love or pity for you or me." "Ah," said Mary with a deep sigh, "I see even men have their fanlts^and I admire them so. They are impatient, selfish." "Yes, if it is selfish to defend one's self against brutal selfishness, I am selfish and that is better than to be a slave to egotists, and lie down to be trodden on as you would do. Come, Mary, for pity's sake, decide which you love best —yonr father, who does not care much for you, or me, who adore you, and will give you a life of gratitude as well ss love, If you will only see things as tbey axe and always will be, and trust yourself to me as my dear, dear, blessed,

*d"l1owUyOTi best "said Mary, "and I _ape it is not wicked. But I love him too. though he does say 'wait.' And I and I dare not defy my

hope it is not too, though rcspoct Bijidf) parent, and I will not marry secretly th»t is degrading. And, on, Walter, think how young I am awl inexperienced, and you that are so much older, .and I hoped would be my guide and Weme better is it you who tempt me to clandestine meetings that I blash for, and a clandestine marriage tor which I should despise myself

Walter turned suddenly calm, these words pricked his conscience. "You are right," said be. "I am blackguard, and you are an angel of purity and goodness. Forgive me, I will never tempt nor torment you again. For pity's sake forgive me. You don't know what men's psssionsare. Forgive mi "With all my heart, dear," said Mary,

for

sigh of despair. Then he seemed to tear himself away by a great effort, and she leaned limp ana powerless on the gate, and heard his footsteps die away into the night. They struck chill upon her, foreboding heart, for she felt that they were parted. [To be continued in The Mail next week.]
