THE WAY OF IT. This is the way of it, wide world over; One is beloved, and one is the lover; One gives, and the other receives. One lavishes all in a wild emotion, One off el's a smile for a life's devotion; One hopes ntni the other believes. One lies awake in the night to weep, And the other drifts into a sweet sound sleep. One soul is aflame with a god like passion, One plays with love in an idler’s fashion, One speaks, and the other hears. One sobs. "1 love you.” and wet eyes show it, And one laughs lightly and says, "1 know it," With smiles for the other's tears. One lives for another and nothing beside, nd the other remembers the world, is wide. Tins is the way of it, sad earth over; Tile heart that breaks is the heart of the lover, Vnd the other learns to forget. For what is the use of endless sorrow? Though the sun goes down, it will rise to-mor row. And life is not over yet. Oh! I know this truth, if I know no other, That Passionate Love is Pain's own mother. Ella Wheeleh Wilcox. MORNING NEWS LIBRARY, NO. 26. MIiJA HF THE AIiIMD.UKS, BY ANNE E. ELLIS. author of “them women,” etc. [Copyrighted, 1887, by J. H. Eatill.] CHAITER XI. Dobbs went on his way whistling a Scotch air, and much like a farmer he looked. He proceeded to Timmy’s house and, stepping upon the porch, knocked at the door. It was far past daylight and the family was astir. Timmy opened the door and in vited the stranger to enter. Dobbs had boon there several times before, but each time in such different disguises that Timmy never recognized him. Sir Arthur had not told him that Dobbs was a detec tive lest he should, in an unguarded moment, disclose something to Mag, and he feared her more than any one else. Mag had never seemed to mind Nora's ab sence, and the young Englishman thought he noticed a look of exultation as day after day passed away without her daughter’s re turn. The stranger asked for “Mr. Beaconsfield” —no one in the locality knew as yet Sir Arthur’s rank —and was ushered into his room. The young man had just thrown himself on the bed and was trying to snatch a few moment’s rest; he was still weak from his recent illness, and his anxiety and grief for the loss of his betrothed had robbed him of his needful rest. As the detective entered the young man sprang from the bed and, rushing to Dobbs, grasped his hand and looking into his face with eagernessiexelaimed: "What news, my friend F’ “bit down, young man, sit down!” replied the man, coolly; “if you are not careful you will make yourself ill again, and then we will be further off the track than ever.” Sir Arthur seated himself and the detec tive beside hint. “Well, sir,” said Dobbs, “I am happy to wiy I have news and good news, too, but be fore I tell you I want you to calm down a little." Dobbs took from his pocket a flask, and pouring out a small quantity of liquor hand ed it to Sir Arthur. “Here, young roan, drink this to calm your nerves a lit tipi’ Sir Arthureaoquiesod and drank it, and as soon as Dobbs saw he was sufficiently cool to hear the joyful news related his adven tures and discoveries. Some of Dobbs’ doings at Barney’s Sir Arthur already knew, so the detective told him of the adventures of the evening pre vious and how he had discovered Nora. "Now, sir, we have a plan for to-night, and you must make some excuse to the old woman and be ready,” said Dobbs. “Never fear, I will have all prepared,” re plied Sir Arthur. “But not a word to the old man, remem ber!—he might blurt out something before the old woman, and she is the one I am most afraid of.” "I am as much afraid of her as you are, and for that reason have said nothing,” re plied young Beaconsfield. "My other hair’—as Dobbs often called his twin brother—“is working at Barney’s; lit has managed to intercept’a letter sent him from the borders, and through it he has discovered the name of an accomplice. This accomplice has been quietly arrested, and has not only confessed that Barney and Du vanee are smugglers, but have also been im plicated in several murders, and the fellow has offered to turn State's evidence to save his own neck. Good, isn’t it?” exclaimed Dobbs, rubbing his hands with glee. "Yes, the prospects look brighter. But to think of my darling being in such hands as that!” exclaimed Sir Arthur,sorrowfully. "Well, sir, ‘it's an ill wind that blows no good,’ and this will be the means of clean ing tlie United States of as great a band of rascals as ever lived,” replied Dobbs. "What do we propose to do?” asked Sir Arthur. "By this time my brother lias secured all Duvanee’s effects, and to-night part of a company of officers that I have had secretly brought from Albany will go quietly to Barney’s. The other half will move toward the hut in the woods. Duvanee goes there about midnight, and we will go a round about way so as to take him by surprise. I want you to lx? in readiness by the road with a carriage for the young lady while we se cure the Frenchman.” Bir Arthur nodded assent. "Barney’s will be most difficult,” resumed Dobbs; “I think he will show tight, but I "ill be there in time to give Duvanee enough to send him home too tired to keep awake, and my brother will have the officers in the barroom in citizens dross—the rest will be comparatively little trouble.” “Admirably arranged!” exclaimed the young man, who already in imagination had A ora clasped in loving embrace once more. ‘I wish I could get some word to Nora.” The detective thought a moment and ex claimed: “Bo you can.” “How?” Write her a note and give it to me and I "■ill find a way to get it to her. Trust mo for that |” “Dobbs, you are the beat friend I evor hwl " exclaimed Sir Arthur, joyfully. Bir Arthur wrote a few lines, as we have seen before, mid handed the note to Dobbs, Mid giving him some gold, shook him heart ily by the band, praying aim to do all he could to restore his beloved ono to him once more. 1 his the detective promised to do, and concealing the note left. "lag looked somewhat suspiciously as tho man left the house, but he looked so much , ' an honest farmer that sho merely nodd ed and thought nothing of the early visitor. CHAPTER XII. The other Martin Dobbs, or tho Martin , as Barney and liis crew supposed him drank anil sang until nearly daylight, "h. u lie wius-eurriod dead drunk to bed As fortune would have it and as Martin thought most lucky, the room he occupied w as next to Puvanee’s. As soon os he was left alone Dobbs raised head nnd lookod around to see that all was safely quiet. 'h* quick car had caught the sound of the ■'■'■•sling footstep* of the men who had “ ne him thither, and Barney ho knew wus ■looping .soundly. quietly to the room generally oc upi<*l by Duvaneo, Dobbs unlocked it with ■■keleton key and entered. Ho went di- L* ct| y to the trunk and, although the lock one of j ocuiiar oonatructiou, opened that also, and abstracting every paper he could find in the metal box ami a few others lying loose in the trunk, closed both and returned to his own room, leaving all, to all appear ances, as he had found them. He seated himself on a chair ar.d exam ined the papers carefully and with a feeling and exclamation of exultation as he found they contained what he wished, dropped noiselessly from the window to the ground beneath and wended his way in a circuitous direction through the forest. Going to the tree where his brother had so transformed himself that same morning, he raised a large stone and entering a cav ern waited. He had not been there many minutes be fore his brother appeared, and a long con sultation took place. ! Ihe papers were read and found to con tain evidence enough to give both Duvaueo and Barney to the hangman as smugglers and murderers. Again transforming themselves by new disguises they made their way to tho village until evening. How Dobbs managed to get the note to Is ora we have heard. After eating her supper Nora retired to rest as if much fatigued, and ere long Nell was snoring soundly on the lounge. But Nora did not'expect to sleep; her heart told hor that the time of her deliverance was drawing rapidly near, and her heart beat with rapid pulsations so anxious and eager was she to behold the faces of her loved one once more. At midnight, as usual, Duvanee entered be low, and was soon sleeping oil his customary intoxication. Nora was waiting with eager expectation and bated breath for a signal from with out. She did not wait long before she heard the hooting of an owl close by her window; she had often heard the same dismal sound while in her forest prison, but there was a peculiarity in this sound which to her anx ious ear sounded like a warning. Arising from her couch sho approached the window softly so as not to awaken her jailor, whose snores were most profound, owing to the extra draught of gin she had taken while down stairs and which Duvanee had given her in his delight when she had told him of the change in her captive's manner. When Nora reached the window to her surprise the wooden liars had been removed —how she could not conjecture; but to Dobbs it had been easy work, the sharp tools he carried with him speedily cut through the wood without a sound. “Hist, lady!” said a voice, softly; “don’t be afraid —just step out of the window and I’ll help you.” Trembling, but anxious to escape, she did as requested, and in an instant an arm was thrown around her waist, and before she could realize where sho was she found her self hurried down a ladder, and the next moment she was ini her lover’s arms. “O Arthur I” was all she could say, so great was her joy. “My darling! my darling!” whispered the young man, clasping her to his breast and covering her sweet face with kisses. He carried her to the waiting carriage al most fainting with joy at her escape, and half frightened lest she should be captured again. As soon as Nora was safely away Dobbs gave another signal, and men sprang from the covering of the bushes. It was but tho work of an instant to break in the doors of the house, and the capture of Duvanee was made with little resistance —ho was so stupe fied from tho effects of liquor that he aid not realize the situation. Nell made more fuss, but she too was soon secured and hurried with Duvanee to the wagon awaiting them, and liefore daylight they were lodged in the village jail. As luck would have it there wore not many frequenters at Barney's, Dobbs and three chums besides two or three roughs be ing all. The roughs soon left, and when they were gone Dobbs stepped up to Barney and said: “I arrest you for murder and smuggling.” Barney, seeing through the game that had been played, drew a revolver, but before it could be used one of Dobbs’ par ty, or one of tho officers of the law, knocked it out of his hands, and in an instant Barney was secured and also his wife. Placing the tavern in the care of two officers, Dobbs and the others departed with his prisoners. The den in the woods was now broken up, and also one of the most troublesome bands of smugglers in the United States. CHAPTER XIII. Dawn had just commenced to over spread the earth with its gray light, and tho rosy rays in the east foretold the approach of the god of the day in all his splendor when Nora returned to her home. Kir Arthur had not withdrawal his arms from his recovered treasure since he had first clasped her in them lest he should again lose her—he felt as if the weight of years had been lifted from him since he knew he had her safely by his side once more—all his own and no one else to interfere. He deter mined to make her his own at once so he could protect her sweet young-beauty from other covetous eyes. Early as it was when the carriage drove up in front of the house, Timmy was seated in his usual place on the porch smoking his Vora saw tho dear old form more bent with age, and the care-worn, troubled face— before Arthur could prevent her she rushed to the old mau with a glad cry. Timmy quickly realized the reality of what at first seemed a dream and sobbed like a child over his daughter, while Nora patted the old man’s cheek and kissed him over and over again. “Are you so very glad to see me, rladdy?” cried she, looking fondly into the weather beaten, care-worn face. “Glad, my child? Glad hain’t no name fur it! Yer poor old daddy’s heart was most broken,” answered Timmy, the smiles breaking through the tears like the rays of the sun through an April shower. “Where have ye been, little gal? tell yer old daddy all about it.” Nora related to him tho story of her cap ture and incarceration, and how Duvanee had tried to make her lieliovo that her father had put her there to keep her from her lover. _ “Tho wretch!” exclaimed Timmy, “if I had him here I would tear out his lyin’ French tongue!” the old man’s eyes flashed with anger at the bare idea of him shutting his daughter up. Timmy, when he heard how the young Englishman had labored for the release of Nora, grasped him by tho hand, and with tears in his eyes exclaimed: “0, sir, how can I ever thank you! How can i’repay ye fur what ye hcvdone!” “No need for thanks,” replied the young man; “my motives were selfish ones en tirely.” While speaking Sir Arthur gazed fondly at the sweet young girl so soon to lie entire ly his own, . , . . . . Timmy blew hiR nose vigorously and tried to laugh, but there was a wistful earnestness in his eyes that told of the struggle within at the prospect of again losing his beautiful daughter; but his sorrow was of a different kina from that ho experienced while Nora’s fate was not known. Now he felt sure that ho was putting her into good keeping when she became Sir Arthur’s wife;he knew thut a man who had worked so unselfishly to res cue Nora, and who hod spared neither trou bio nor expense to restore her to her loved onos would guard his darling carefully. Mag received her daughter with some sur prise, and sho evidently looked relieved as Nora kissed her affectionately; hermanner was softened toward the young girl, and she often looked at her wistfully as if the affec tion she had so long concealed had at last commenced to show itself. Kir Arthur insisted on a speedy marriage, and never did the village chapel eontnin so lovely a bride or so handsome a groom. The soft white lace and glistening satin made Nora appear too pure for earth—and so the aged rector thought as he spake the words that made these two one. Timmy and Mag looked like new people— Timmy in bis new broadcloth suit and Mag THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1887. in rustling black silk, all gifts from Sir Arthur. Sir Arthur and Nora were now man and wife, and naught but the hand of God could separate them—the thought was one of su preme happiness to both. Ah! how much had they both to suffer for their love, as many, many true hearts do have anguish whore naught should- bo but bliss. CHAPTER XIV. Duvanee, when he realized his true posi tion, knew that there was no choice between death bv his own hand and the gallows, and rather than suffer the ignominy of capital punishment he chose to rush unbidden into the presence of his Maker —he was found dead in his cell, having cut an artery and bled to death. The Frenchman left a written confession, stating that he was the son of a younger brother of Lord Dudly, of England. His father had always been noted for his wild, dissipated habits, and leaving the unwel come restraints of home he had made his residence in the French capital, where ho . had married a French ballet dancer. Duvanee or Dudly, as he was rightfully called, was the only offspring of that mar riage. After the death of his parents his haunts had been with the vilest. Fearing that his uncle, Lord Dudly, would marry again, and seeing tho wonderful re semblance of Nora to his deceased aunt, he had concocted a scheme to marry her and present ter to Lord Dudly as his daughter, and so secure the title and estates for him self. But his plans failod and ho was soon brought liefore tho groat Judge to expiate his sms. Barney paid the penalty of his crimes on the scaffold, while his wife was imprisoned for life as a participator in his wrong do ings. Nell was only supposed to be a paid hire ling of Barney and Duvanee, and as no posi tive proof could be found against her she was only imprisoned for a few months for her share in the imprisonment and abduction of Nora and disappeared from view. “Dobbs and Dobbs,” as the twin brother detectives were called, received the govern ment reward for the capture of their pris oners and were also bountifully remunerated by Sir Arthnr. Sir Arthur sent Romeo home to England, and prepared to leave his American home where so much had happened of “wcel and woe” to him. Nora, although she loved her young hus band dearly, felt sad indeed as she rolled herself in traveling attire to leave the only home she had ever known. She knew Timmy would miss her sadly— he had always been so tenderly careful of her. Her mother had commenced to show so much solicitude for her welfare that she felt a sense of loss at the idea of parting. Before Nora stepped into the carriage to travel to new countries Mag called her into her room and embraced her with a long, lov ing clasp. “Nora, girleen, I’ve been a hard mother to ye; but some day when ye hear what may seem strange to yer ears don’t hate ver old mother, will ye, child!” pleaded Mag, the tears streaming from her eyes. “Mother, I have always ioved you!” cried the affectionate girl, distressed at this un usual display of feeling in her mother. “What! when I treated ye so wicked!” ox - claimed Mag, in bewilderment. “Yes, mother.” “Heaven bless ye, child! you’ve softened yer old mother’s heart. There are brighter days in store fur ye, darter —when yer old mother kin do her duty toward ye ye’ll know.” Nora smoothed and kissed the wrinkled cheek as if it had been the softest and fairest that her young heart had so often longed for in a mother. Mag handed her a fine gold chain with u small, richly-chased locket attached. “Take this, child,” said she, “and wear it night and day—it may be the means of bringing ye much good some day—but do not open it until you are far away from here.” Nora took the trinket in her shapely hand and examined it with curiosity. The chain was a peculiar one of intricate workman ship, and the locket had the initials “N. D.” on the back. She was curious to seethe contents, but, obeying her mother’s request, she clasped the chain around her neck, anti concealing it under her dress hid it from view until she could safely open it. Nora kissed her mother again, and, after an affecting leave-taking of Timmy, was handed into the carriage by Hir Arthur and driven away to North river, where they were to take the cars for New York. CHAPTER XV. She was a winsome lass, brown as a nut with large, luminous dark eyes that twinkled with joyous mirth or deepened with feel ing. The youthful cheek was painted with colors that wero taken alone from nature’s garden. Rather below tho usual height, with a figure round and plump and Beautifully formed. Lady Betty was the life of her father’s house, and indeed its head —for mother she had none, and her father’s easy, affectionate disposition she ruled with the sweetest of all control—love. Lord Ernst almost worshipped his “nut brown maid,” as he called Betty, and Earl Beaconsfield called her “Brown Betty.” Since her betrothal with Sir Arthur, or rather that arranged by their fathers, Lady Betty’s face wore a look of wistful tender ness that gave it new beauty. “My daughter,”said Lord" Ernst, one love ly day as they were sitting in a beautiful rustic arbor together -Lady Betty hud been reading Cowper, while her fattier had thrown bis arm tenderly around her and listening to the musical voice of the sweet reador—“my daughter, do you think you love this young man sufficiently to give him your own precious self for life?” Tho maiden looked up into her father’s face, and then blushing prettily dropped her eyes in confusion. “Why, yes, papa, I think I do. You know Arthur anti myself have grown up together and he is so good, and I have met no other that I like better.” replied Botty. “Yes, there is the trouble—‘you have met no other.’ I regret, my child, that I have been so selfish us to keep you so entirely to myself. I should have let you see more of the world and you would then have a Ixitter chance to understand your own heart.” “Why, papa!” exclaimed Betty, in sur prise. “You are surprised, my love, but mar riage is such a serious thing—it is not for a day or an hour that you have you/- com panion, but perhaps for a life, and if the life hnppeus to be long and the parties un congenial, I know no fate more terrible.” “Yes, papa, I know. But then Arthur is too good to over lie unkind, and I am sure I love him too much ever to give him cause to be annoyed by me.” “True, my dear. But you ore not mar ried yet, and I intend that you shall travel some and see more of the world ere you bind yourself irrevocably." “Papa, how kind you arc—but I do not think I will regret my marriage.” “I hope not, daughter, as I ao not. know of a better alliance in England, hut I would rather lose, the chance, fluttering though It is, than see you unhappily mated.” Lord Ernst drew his daughter Into his arms and kissed her tenderly. A servant approached and annonneed that the Fuel and Countess were in the drawingroom. Lord Ernst and Lady Hetty hastened to receive their guests with pleasant anticipa tions. Tho greeting between tho Earl and Lord Ernst was most cordial, but that between the Countess and Lady Hetty—how can I describe? Tho Countess folded tho young girl ten derly in her arms and kissed the sweet face raised to her’s so lovingly. “My daughter!” murmured tho Countess, "how I have longed for a daughter, und now I am to have rr.e. ” "Mamma!” saifl Betty, trembling with the rapture that filled her as she spoke the dear hut unfamiliar name to her, “mamma, I will love you dearly;oh, so much!” “And this is my brown Betty,” said the Earl, pinching her cheek, making her blush more violently than ever. Iguly Betty gave him her hand and looked at him saucily, her black eyes full of mis chief. “Your hand! Is that all?” said the Earl, surveying her from head to foot as if in dignant. “Ernst,” turning to her father, “fgreet this brown Betty and she only gives me her hand —she kissed my wife, why shouldn’t she do the same by me? Com mand her, 1 insist, to do her duty whilst you have the authority—when Arthur gets her he will tell her what to do.” All laughed at this speech, and Betty lift ed her now more than rosy cheek for his kiss. Lady Betty carried the Countess otT to the conservatory where they spent a pleas ant hour chatting over the beautiful (lowers —and then the lady mother must tell of her boy so soon to belong to them both —Lady Betty listened with delight and interest. Blit not a word of Nora or her misfor tunes—it was not fitting that high-born lips should mention the name of the poor Amer ican girl of plebeian birth. An affectionate “adieu” and the Earl and Countess departed, delighted with their new daughter and promising that they would see her often. On their way homo they stopped for a short call on Lord Dudly. He was at home and" greeted them with undisguised pleasure. Lord Dudfy was most anxious in his in quiry after Sir Arthur. He had just received word of the death of his realative, but no mention had been made of the sweet lass of the American Adiron daeks. The Countess, when a fitting opportunity offered, showed Lord Dudly her son's last two letters with the story of the abduction of the young girl. After ho had read the epistles she pre sented the sketch of Nora with fear and trembling lest she would by so doing reopen the old wound of the heart.. He gazed at the drawing long and earn estly, and comparing it with a painting hanging on the wall exclaimed: “How like! strange, most strange!” “It certainly is a resemblance, Dudly,” said the Earl, taking the picture and com paring it with the (tortrait. “Yes, I cannot account for it—if ourchild had not been buried with its mother I should be sure that this belonged to us,” re plied Lord Dudly, with much emotion. “Her namthis like your wife's also,” said the Countess. "Yes, I asked the people to name their child ‘Nora,’ as it was born the same night as ours; but I feel a great longing to see this American mountain maiden, who so closely resembles my dear wife.” “Ah!” said the Earl; “but will it not re vive unnecessary grief?” “I think not—if she is as lovely in char acter as she is in person I should love to know her for my sweet wife’s sake.” The Earl and Countess bade “good-by,” leaving Lord Dudly sorrowful and chagrined at the rascality ol his relative, and think ing of this strange resemblance of Nora to his lamented wife. [TO BE CONTINUED.] STOCKINGS. The High Prices Which Fine Hosiery Commands. New York, July 9. — I wish I could stand a few of our great grandmothers in front of a certain window on Broadway devoted exclusively to hosiery. Such marvels! They are real works of art. Imagine a scarlet silk stocking with a black-beaded serpent twisting around its entire length, with the reptile’s head resting on the instep! Another puir of light blue, with piuk moss rosebuds embroidered all over; yellow silk hose with butterflies of natural size in oil the colors of the ruinbow; white silk hose, with beaded stare, and those of black silk with the instep composed of the richest white lace; a puir of pale green hose with simulated piuk ribbon bows up the front. Yes. 1 would like to show all these wonders to the deal - old ladies, who thought they were well suppliod in winter with throe or four pairs of gray woolen stockings of their own knitting, and in summer a half dozen pairs of plain white ones with a woven red band at the top. Indeed wo have only to go back to our own childhood for this last style with a pair of “ojien works” for Sundays. There were handsome black silk hose with red lobsters embroidered on the instep, while others had a big green frog with “bead eyes, with his opera hat on, all reaely to go a-wooing.” We do not lack for novelty and the workmanship is exquisite, but for myself I prefer something more sentimental than these last, even in hosiery. I draw the line at lobsters. Since the washable knitting silk have been manufactured many young ladies have revived an almost “lost* art,” that of knitting their own stockings. It is pretty and convenient fancy work. They wear better than those made by machinery and are much loss expensive. Some of those I have described cost sgo per pair. 1 know a young lady who has just completed a pair of black silk stockings embroidered with pink rosebuds. They are durable enough to last a lifetime.
