THE DENHAM FEUD.
BY ELEANOR C. LEWIS.
How long ago, or just why, Fran
cis John and John Francis Denham,
half-brothers, began to quarrel with
each other, woold be hard to say.
There was only two years difference
in there ages, and, when they were
children, they were lond of being
together. _
As boys, at school, they remained
good frionds, though not so intimate
as before; but when they entered
college a coolness rose between
them. Frank, as Francis John was
called, was open-hearted, impul
sive, quick to speak, and quick to
repent; generous and kind. Fran
cis, as the other was called, was
equally honorable and upright, but
not at all impulsive.
He made up his mind before
speaking it, and consequently had
not nearly so much to repent of us
his brother. Yet, for all his good
ness, ho was not so lovable a boy, at
first sight, as Frank—poor, heedless
Frank, who went stumbling through
life, stepping on other people’s, feet
in pure carelessness, but apologiz
ing so instantly, 1 and with such
charm of repentence, that he wa^
always forgiven.
When Francis blundered—to
Frank w nt to law to establisn his j he had a fever, they were the bur-

Francis said the ring had always
gone to the eldest son; in fine, It
was in his possession, and no- one
could prove that it ought not to be
there.
This settled the matter, though
not the feelings that had been
roused. The brothers had now noth
ing whatever to do with each other.
They lived in the same town, be
longed to the same church, and
married neighbors’daughters even
tually; yet they met as strangers.
After a while, each went into busi
ness in Boston and moved there.
They still attended the same church,
but met less frequently than before.
In business, the difference of char
acter showed ijself at once, in their
methods, and consequently in their
success. Francis became quite
wealthy; Frank, though not poor,
was never prosperous. His children
became something of a trial to him
as years went on. The hereditary im
pulsiveness led them into all man
uerof difficulties, some of them ex
pensive; and in marked contrast
were the sensible, sedate boys of
Francis.
The latter h-d two sons and one
daughter, named Alda; while Frank
had seven boisterous boys.
In little Alda Denham, lay all the
hidden grace and unexpressed ten
derness of her father’s nature. She
was the poem of his life,—the fair
haired Alda he called her, dimly re
membering some old Saxon hero-
his recovery.
A1 a was with him a great deal
during his convalescence. Her
quietness and gentleness made her
peculiarly in place in the sick room,
and half-unconaciously to himself,
she became her father’s confidante.
They had always been intimate
from the time she could talk, and
very naturally, in his weakness,
he talked to-her of the past.
There was a magnetic something
in the child that inspired trust in
all. It was not that she was oldi r
than her years, for she delighted in
dolls and childish sports. It was
more as though she were a child of
speak more accurately, made a mis- ‘ > ne -
take—it was a serious matter with
hitn. Firstof all, he had to decide
that he was wrong. This being set
tled,he atonce,and conscientiously
made what reparation he could; but
his very effort to be just had in it
something so rigid and uncompro
mising, that people felt none the
more kindly for ft. “He would not
explain at all,” sRid they, “only that
he was obliged to.”
Francis realized this feeling on
the part of others, without under
standing it.
“Why Is it,” he sometimes mused,
“that I do my duty; and am dislik
ed for it, while Frank, who never
thinks of his duty, is loved ?” But
it took him a lifetime to find the
answer to his question.
Meanwhile, the “little rift in the
lute" grew larger. Frank got into
debt; Francis, with,strict justice,
but little mercy, said he could not
spare the money to help his broth
er out. Then, both boys contended
for a prize. Francis toiled hard, but
Frank, by a lucky stroke, won.
Next, they fell in love with the same
girl; and though the attachment
was not deep, and the young lady
married a third lover, yet, for the
time, it was Frank who was favor
ed.
So graduaily their enmity grew,
until when commencement day
came, they had nothing in common
hut a speaking acquaintance. Two
years later, even this ceased, for the
boys’ grandfather died (their pa
rents were already dead) and left a
will that was the cause of complete
estrangement between them.
His property was shared equally
by them, but certain heirlooms—
especially a valuable riijg which
had been In the family for several
generations, was left—in the words
of the will—“to my dearest Fran
cis.”
It was known that he had intend-
I to make another wili-the same in
principle, but reducing the property
by one or two public bequests; but
' made, it was not to be fonnd, and
very one thought that death had
■rprised him before he could carry
at his intentions. Had such a doc
ument seen the light, the ambigu-
’ of “my dearest Francis” might
ive been cleared up.
As matters stood, each claimed
lie heirloom. Frank had been the
man’s favorite—all knew that,
ill, he had tried his grandfather
prely of late, by his heedless ways
Id extravagance; and beside, no
ever, called him Francis. As
• the other, be was always called
antis, and had. been more of a
vorite lately than at first; then,
, he was the older.
each young man urged his
Im, and defended it, although, in
l secret heart, Francis did admit

She was, indeed a wonderfully
lovely child, rather silent, passion
ately fond of her father, devoted to
mother and brothers; yet with room
in her gentle heart for a nameless
host of pets. She knew about the
family trouble—had heard it talked
of—all the more since her brothers
met their cousins at the public
school.
The latter, to do them justice,
would have fraternized in rough-
and-ready school-boy fashion, but
Francis Denham’s two sons drew
back. They had their father’s dis
position in some degree, and reserve
was more natural to them than has
ty friendship. Beside, they knew
about the trouble, and thought their
Uncle Frank had behaved in a very
uniust- fashion. So when Frank’s
children reported at home how
‘stuck-up” and insoleht Herbert
and Morris Denham were, their
heedless father burst out before
them with violent expressions of
hatred. -
“Don’t,fattier,” said his wife;“don’t
talk so before the boys. It does
them harm, and does you no good.”
“Bother the boys!” said Frank;
“they are always around when I’m
at my worst.” Then, relenting,
“See here, lads, your mother is right;
I ought not to speak against your
uncle to you in thi3 way—but—then
■he would make a saint mad!”
Naturally enough, an amend of
this mixed nature did not change
the boys’ feelings. They did not
actually hate their prim, scholarly
cousins, but did enjoy irritating
them. Space is lacking to tell their
ingenious proficiency in this art.
They soaped the floor, to see Her
bert measure his length on it. They
tripped up Morris, and chalked big
letters on his back. Finally, Willy
Denhatn put chalk into Herbert’s
inkstand. Of course ihe ink effer
vesced, and ran all over the desk,
spoiling among things of less value
the Greek theme which Herbert
had just with some pains, completed
This piece of mischief was traced
home to its perpetrator, and he was
soundly whipped.
Small good came from the pun
ishment, however, for the offender
was over petted at home to make
up the indignity; and Herbert’s
father was not satisfied, and thought
Willy should have been expelled.
If anything could have widened the
breach, it would have been this; for
paternal feelings as well as brother
ly were in conflict. But after a
while, things settled down into the
old groove. There was less active
anndyance. in school, though a
strong undercurrent of. dislike was
always present.
Thus matters were, when the lit
tle fair haired Alda was eight years
old. Two things happened this year.
Frank Denham’s two youngest sons
were drowned when out skating,
and Francis Denham had a danger
ous illness. He was terribly griev
ed by his brother’s misfortune and
would have made up the quarrel if
he couid: but by this time it was be
yond his power. He did try r«» say
a few words of sympathy when they
first met,.after the accident, lint the
mourning father repulsed Mm.
“No, sir,” said he, sternly, and not
without dignity; “when things went
well with me, you passed me by;
now that my boys have left me, and
my heart is broken, you need not
intrude. The'grief is mine, not
yours, and God will give me all the
cniniort I deserve.”
“The grief is mine, too,” began
Francis, and this was much for him
to say; but his brother had passed
out of hearing and he made no fur
ther attempt. Still, »n secret, his
thoughts were upon him, and when
pettiness and narrowness of youth.
She was full of life, while at the
same time sensitive and thought
ful—simpatica, as the Italians say.
Now in the sick room her father
found strange comfort in the unbur
dening to her the thoughts and feel
ings that hitherto he had kept lock
ed iivliis own heart. He -fett that
she understood him, yet did not sit
in judgment. He was her father—
her dear father; mother did not
think of it, nr the boys; but she
knew well that he wasnot- happy.
_ It did not enter into the case that
he had been to -blame; the question,
how to make him happy again.
These thoughts, however, she kept
to herself—the family had no idea
of them.
“And so you see, Alda,” he said
one day, “you must be careful how
you begin anything, for the ending'
is often out of your power.”
“It might be in somebody else’s
power, perhaps,” said Aida, half to
herself.
“Ah, yes,” sighed her father, “jnst
there is where the trouble lies. You
can argue wit hand persuade yourself
but it is so hard to influence another.
Frank—your uncle, dear—was a
good boy, but I suppose 1 was too
stiff; and so we drifted apart, j
could never laugh unless I saw
something to laugh at, but Frank
would laugh just tor the pleasure
of it.”
“Perhaps,” said Alda, cheerfully,
“you’ll be laughing th t way your
self some time.’ 1
“lfl only could!” he moaned.
‘But it is no use, dear, while I
have that ring,” turning it restless
ly on his finger. “I don’t see how
I can.”
“But the ring is ydur own, papa.’
“Do you know, dear,” he began,
then checked himself. “I must be
out of my mind,” thought he, “to
talk like this to the child.”
But Alda, in her own sweet way,
understood and went on. “I know
the ring is yours, papa, but perhaps
you think, after all, Uncle Frank
ought to have it.”
“Exactly,” said he, with eagerness,
led on by this sweet sympathy. “I
do think so, bat Frank wouldn’t
take it now. If he only would!”
Here Mrs. Denham came in and
the conversation was broken off for
the time.
A!da had heard enough, however,
to make op her mind. If Uncle
Frank had the ring, her papa
would be glad, and Uncle Frank
would like it Still, her papa could
not give it himself, so someone else
must give it for him, and that .some
one should be herself, just as soon
as she could bring it about She
would not ask for the ring yet; she
felt that for one reason or another,
she might be refused.' And besides,
she had a feeling that if she watched
for it, a chance might appear, and
all would be well.
8ome time slipped by, however,
and the coveted opportunity did
not present itself.
Her father grew better, and re
sumed business once, more, but was
less absorbed in it than formerly.
He found a good deal of time for
Alda, and took her to ride, and es
pecially to concerts, the little lady
being fond of music. They were a
noticeable pair—the tall, bearded,
stately father, and the delicate
child, with her transparent beauty.
Many a person would turn to look
at them as they passed, and in Mr.
Denham’s place of business a visit
from the child was the event of the
day.- She took all this attention i
with a kind of serene unconscious
ness; it neither excited nor troubled
her.
One still cold afternoon in Jann-
ary Francis Denham made haste
home.
Why, papa!” cried Alda, running
to meet him. “What brings you
home so early?”
“You, my pet,” he answered, gai
ly, "“Be quick, there’s a good girl,
and have Janie wrap you up warm.
Mamma’s lying down, i»j<he? Well,
you tell her that I am going to take
you to hear Wilhelmj.and will bring
you back safe and sound.”
No second bidding was needed.
Alda flew like a fairy, and in a few
minutes the carriage had left them
at the Music Hall. Their seats were
on the front row of the first gallery,
about midway. They were hardly
in their places and Alda’s wraps an
loosed, when WilheUnj entered, and
all her attention was centered on
him.
It was wonderful playing; clear
firm, masterly, yet with an under
current of passionate life. The
spirit of music was there, as well a;
its body.
Her father fell the beauty of the
performance, but his Strongest
emotion, after all, was pleasure
in Alda’s pleasure. New and then
she looked up longenough to apprj
priate his sympathetic .smile, but
was silent until the intermission.
Then she chattered joyously, for
the music had set free her happy
lrttle tongue, and he answered,
more gravely; still, it satisfied her.
Now and then' she made an ab-
iww aim men sne mitue an ao- - - .....
some high order, free from thhJUMl ^ p retence of l00 kin e thTO ngh- t taU^fcituA^Yard for
his operaglass, and bowing to some
imaginary acquaintance thus recog
nized. Next,she learned nerfairy
arm on the balustrade, to peep down
at the people below. Her glance
roamed idly at first, tnen all at once
grew earnest, for directly beneath
sat he; Uncle Frank.
The thought rushed over her: My
chance at last! and at this moment
her uncle looked up. His worn,
tired, haggard face met full the
young and lovely one of his little
niece. Something in her gaze ar
rested him; an indescribable ex
pression of love and joy and long
ing.
He felt no anger toward her—
who could?—and he smiled faintly
in • espouse to the pleading of her
eyes.
Alda drew back. The orchestral
accompaniment of the next concer
to began with a crash, as she pul
led her father’s head nearer to lis
ten, and whispered, breathless,
‘‘now, papa, now is the time,, and
Uncle Frank will take it!”
No explanation was necessary.
Her father understood, for he too
had seen his brother’s upturned
face.
He held oat his hand, and with
eager fingers she pulled off the ring.
Once more she bent over the rail
ing, and once more, drawn by some
secret' impulse toward good, her
uncle looked up.
He saw two faces above him-'-the
man’s grave, yet entreating; the
child’s radiant with beautiful inten
tion. And she held *ut the ring!
The next moment it was at his
feet. No one heard her say it, yet
he felt sure that her lips formed
these words: “It is your own, dear
uncle. I give it to you from my
dear papa.”
The old, hard anger melted from
his heart like ice in the sun; he
felt no impulse to refuse; on the
contrary, he gently lifted the ring
and put it on, then looked up at
Francis and his daughter. No
mean triumph touched his smile;
the brotherly kindness of old days
lighted up his face.
Then Alda, her work accomplish
ed, leaned back and said:
“It is all done, papa. Now we’ll
listen to Wilhelmj.
Very few person noticed this
little episode, and those who did
see, thought nothing of it; a child’s
freak, that was all. But when the
concert was over, ane Alda, muffled
tothechin in white fur, like a snow-
sprite, came down the stairs with
her father, there was Uncle Frank
waiting for them.
She threw her arms around his
neck and kissed him, but though the
brothers exchanged a hand-clasp
that spoke volumes, no words were
possible till they were out of the
crowd.
At the carriage-door Frank said,
rather huskily, “did you mean it,
Francis?”
“Frank,” replied his brother, “I
do mean it 'with my whole heart
and may God forgive me for not
having done it before!”
So the great Denham fend came
to an end. The boys found each
other delightful comrades, and won
dered that they had never frater
nized before. The wives exchang
ed receipts and confidences; the
brothers renewed the amity of early
days.
As for Aida, if she was not com
pletely spoiled, it was due to the in
herent sweetness of her nature,
and not to her relatives, who
thought nothing that could be done
was enoegh for her.

Gov. David B. Hill, of New York,
led his state ticket to complete
victory, but the Republicans still
hold both branches of the Legisla
ture.
The following are editorial ex
cerpts from the New York jour
nals.
The World: The result of the
election is this state is a rebuke of
two things—the bloody shirt, and
the bloodless mugwump. David
B. Hill is chosen Governor hy a ma
jority probably fifteen or twenty
times as large as was given to Mr
Cleveland last year. The mug
wumps have failed to “strengthen
and support” Mr Cleveland’s ad
ministration by electing Daven
port. Farewell, mugwumps, fare
well.
The Tribune: The Democrats
retain. New York. Gov. Hiil has
been elected by a figure so hand
some as to make the beggarly plu
rality which the state gave Presi
dent Cleveland almost invisible.
The return of votes whom Mr.
Blaine’s candidacy alienated did
not make good to the Republican
party the loss this year of voters
whom that candidacy attracted.
Republican voters did not expect to
succeed this year against, the con
centration of power of the adminis
tration to save itself, and therefore
did not make the effort necessary to
success.
The Sun: The entire Democratic
state ticket was elected yesterday.
Gov Hill’s plurality appeared, at
the time this page of the Sun went
to press, to be at least 15,000. The
foolish pretense of the mugwump
organs that the success of the Dem
ocrats in this election would be in
imical to Mr. Cleveland inspir
ited the Democratic voters of the
state. They were too sensible to
be deceived by such nonsense.
They voted as the President him
self voted—for th» man who will
hold up Mr. Cleveland’s hands in
his own state and strengthen the
influences of his administration.
TheTimes: To those Republicans
who think it wise and profitable to
barter away three years of Ira Dav
enport as Governor of New York
for a single hour of Judge Forakeps
oratory and a few speeches from
John A. Logan we shall leave the
task of assuaging as best they can
the pain and disappointment of
their party under yesterday’s'de
feat. No explanation, no analysis
of the result can soften the hard
fact that David B. Hill has been
elected Governor by a majority of
from 10,000 to 15,000 votes. >
The Star: Our dispatches bring
the welcome, but unexpected,
news of a Democratic triumph in
this state yesterday. There is no
turning backward in the great
work so auspiciously begun a year
ago. The people of New York stand
by the Democratic party, and vote
to uphold the hands of the Demo
cratic administration in the work of
reform. -

mer there was a wish to get
the sentiments of all the tribes on
the subject and a council was called
at Eufaula, and it was then decided
it would be best to sell. On Tues
day this action was brought up for
ratification by the Creek council
The bill quietly passed the house of
kings, but when it came to the
house of warriors it hung fire. A
vote was finally taken which stood
42 to sell and -43 tin hold, when
Speaker Tom Adams cast the de
tiding ballot for retaining. Con
sequently the boomers will Have to
step out. The Seminole council
has appointed a delegation to treat
with the United States commis
sioners, but it takes the action of
both nations before the country
cool j be so disposed of. '
