CHAPTER X.
A DAT WITH KATE.
After breakfast the next morning, Le Ban and
the Prince announced, greatly to my satfsfaction,
the necfcisity £jr their immediate departure.
The two young ladies went with them, although
cordially asked by Mrs. Goldie and her daugh
ter to protract their visit
After they had gone, Ka'e and I mounted our
horses for a Jide around t* o plantation.
‘Dandle keeps close by you,’ 1 said, noticing
ns we went along thu >.e kept t s near to the
horse of his mistress a* ne could w ith safety.
•Yes, he never leaves me when I am from
home*’she answered; ‘he and this—taking, as
she spoke, the derringer I had given her from
its sheath in her belt—‘are my constant compan
ions. Look at yonder sltnder sapling ahead of
as.’
As she spoke, she raised the pistol and fired.
On retching the tree we found that the ball had
struck it in its centre line, and with such force
as to be buried out of sight. Armed as she wts
and with Dandie to aid her, she was safe from
any ordinary assault I thought
We went first to the field where the hands
were picking cotton. Here were about twenty
laborers,—all negroes— of both sexes and all
ages, gathering the fleecy staple as it hung from
the open bolls, into sacks suspended from their
waists. While watching them from a short dis
tance tff, Kate, pointing to a tall, active looking
man, working a little in advance of the others,
said:
‘Thtfc is Jerry, my foreman; he always leads
them as he doee now. When 1 leave them I
leave my instructions with him, and he is very
faithful in having them executed/
From this field we went to the gin-house. The
gin, moved by four stout mules, was in opera
tion. It was attended to by an elderly man,
while a lad of about twelve years saw that the
mules did their duty. From the ginhouse we
went next to a field of corn which was being
harvested. There were lw r o men, besides George,
employed here, and a two-horse wagon. George
accompanied the wagon to and from the barn, to
aid in loading and unloading it. They were
loading the wagon when we came in sight. We
stopped to watch them for a few minutes, while
still un perceive 1 by them.
•Does George work always with the same vim
he now displays? I asked, after observing him
awhile in silence.
Yes, always. He seems to be tireless. By his
watchfulness and example he has been of great
aid to ire. He is to go to school next year and
as long after as he will— that i9, if we succeed
in keeping the place.’
‘Of course you will keep the place,’ I answer
ed, ‘Don’t let the thought of loosing it disturb
you for a moment.’
I had some money deposited in a bank in At
lanta, something more than enough to satisfy
the claim of Stephen Swetwell. I knew that I
could obtain this money before it would be
needed, Jience the confidence with which I
spoke.
Atter going to the wagon and chatting with
George awhile, we continued our ride. Leaving
the field of corn we entered a meadow through
which a brook flowed. Here were five or six
cows and as many sheep.
‘I have made only a beginning in stock-rais
ing,’ said Kate. ‘I Lave not yet been able to
give any attention to it. I am satisfied that it
will pay, perhaps better than any resource of the
farm. I have fields which I can convert into
excellent pastures, and for my hogs I can plant
the ground-pea and chufa. We have still fur
ther encouragement to engage in this business
when we consider the mildness of our climate.’
Passing through the meadow we came upon a
man splitting rails in the edge of a wood.
‘I have only one man now engaged in this
work,’ said Kate. ‘In a few days I can put him
to otter work, for all my fences have been re
paired and I need only a few more rails to fin
ish a’crcss-fence in one of my fields.’
Here was something unusual if uot altogether
unheard of—a young lady discussing, and w ith
evident interest, the affairs of the farm. Was it
possible that this young lady, whose early train
ing had Jel her to regard such details as ex
ceedingly tiresome, could new take in them a
genuine interest? Aye, it was possible; and for
her to feel in their dhcassion a real pleasure
was most natural. Is it possible, I sboald rath-
erask, 'olook with ecstacy on parterres of bloorn-
iug flowers, and then turn with indifferent eyes
to waving fields cf corn? He who does so,
makes me suspect that his ecsacyjis leigued.
He who w 11 find real pleasure in a new species
of geranium, is capable of finding yet greater
enjoyment in watching the development of a
new vaiiGty of wheat. Ah, Kate ! such words as
cotton, corn, potatoes, turnips, horses, cows,
sheep, plows, hoes, axes, rails, ditches, did in
no way disfigure thy pretty mouth. Thy lips
closed as gracefully and tby breath came as
sweet after them as after quoting the loveliest
lines olLalla Rookh.
Passing from the meadow, we went through a
field that bad been lying fallow for a year, and
which was set apart for small grain. From this
we entered an open forest. Tne foliage was
painted with autumn’s gold, while here and
there a wild flower nodded its modest head to
us as we went on. A geDtie breeze rustled the
dying leaves above us, making a melancholy but
pleasing sound. We came to a brook, clear as
crystal, laughing and c’aacing on its way.
Slowly we passed through the beautiful forest,
and along the beautiful stream, for here, shut
out from the world, and listening only to the
sweet voices of nature—to the birds that suDg of
love, to the brook that warbled cf gladness,
bringing to mind the careless hours of child
hood, to the f ighiDg trees that whispered of quiet
happiness—the car*s of life were forgotten, and
the noise of its battle was hushed.
We came at length to the source of the brook,
a bold spring that gushed forth near the bass of
a perpendicular cliff. The fountain was well
shaded by trees of the ever-green variety. Here
we dismounted, and making cups of the broad
leaves of a magnolia thatgrew near by, we drank
of the cool water. Then standing upon the rock
in the edge of the stream, we, children again,
laved our hands in the cooling tide.
Ah 1 the world was very far from one then, very
far. Mv world then had a radius of only a few
feet and its onlv inhabitant, besides myseif,was
Kate Goldie. It must have been changed too,to
her for, looking into her innocent brown eyes
as they looked straight into mine, and listening
te the sweet music of her voice as she laughed
and talked with the care.ess freedom of a child,
I was sure the farm was forgotten; that she re
membered no more the tedious cotton picking,
Spinning, the harvesting, the raiMpliting,
aid, back of these, the harassing debts. She
had forgotten them for the tune, and I was glad
Standing before mo there, with her hat
did I desire then tq tell her the story of my love
—butl dared not. I felt sure that she did not
suspect it, that it would therefore startle her,
and dissolve the joyous spell that was upon her.
Yet, this I would have risked had I bad any rea
son to hope that the broken spell would have
been replaced by the subtler one of love. So, I
silenced, by a great effort, the voice in my heart
urging me to speak my love; so completely si-
lenced it that I could, with my companion,aban
don myself to that free and j oyous spirit which
ruled the hour and the scene.
We took no note of time. The sun reached
the zenith, but we marked it not. What had
we to do with Time, that chronicler of human
woes? We had none for him to chronicle, and
so he passed by swiftly and with noiseless step.
But a sound came at length, reverberating
through the forest, which suddenly awoke us to
the fact of the outside world and its claims up
on us. It was the dinner horn.
Kate looked at her watch.
‘Why, it is one o’clock!’ she exclaimed. ‘How
forgetful I have been. It is my custom to have
that bugle sounded at twelve o'clock every day,
and here it is one hour past. George, tired of
waiting forme, has sounded it himself, pe lisps
to call me in, if I should be in hearing. Yon,
Mr. Lockwood, who led mo out of my idle life,
has been first to make me an idler.’
An idler! I wondered if she was the least
conscious of how busy she bad been with her
glances. But not daring to give expression to
any such reflection, I said, as I as dated her to
mount her horse:
‘The events of the past two years, M'si Kate,
have rendered it impossible for yo i ever to be
again an idler. But let me hope that you will
bear from here no regrotsat the manner in which
you have spent the morning.'
•Regrets, Mr. Lockwood!' she repeated with
seme surprise expressed in her face and voice,
‘I am sure that I did not intend my words to
imply any. On the contrary, I must mark this
day with a white bean, and, if I thought that I
had contributed any thing to yonr pleasure, I
would—would certainly feel no regret for the
manner in which I have passed the morning.’
Her words came with some hrsitation and a
little guardedly, I thought, yet this did not pre
vent me from answering her with some ardor,
that she had contributed very greatly to my
pleasure. I noticed a slight blush creep into
her cheeks while I was speaking, yet it was so
slight, I afterwards thought,that she could hard
ly have been conscious of it. She did not reply
and we were soon galloping through the woods,
and then through the fields towards the house,
I did not protract my visit after dinner, for I
could net do so and reach Cathbertby night-fall.
Kate said that sbe would accompany me as far
as to the place where the hands were picking
cotton; but on arriving there, she said that she
would go on with me to Wrathway bridge. We
did not talk much as we went on. What we did
say was on matters connected with the approach
ing sale. Having discussed it before, there was
little left to be said.
As we came in sight of the black runlet near
the foot of the bridge, I saw a human form dis
appear quickly behind one of the large cypress
trees that stood on the bank of the stream and
close by the road. I kept my eye on this tree
as we advanced towards it. On reaching it, there
was no one behind it. I was surprised at this,
as I thought it impossible for any one to have
left it unobserved by me. I stopped beside the
tree and told my companion of the hallucina
tion—for I was obliged to consider it so,although
inexplicable.
We node on to the middle of th$ bridge and
stopped. •
•When are you coming back ?’ asked Kate.
'If I can obtain the money I have promised
yon by correspondence, and it comes without
delay,you may expect to see me again next Mon
day afternoon. It may be necessary, however,
for me to go to Atlanta. In that case, look for
me confidently one week from next Monday,
which will be the day before the sale.’
We said good-bye, and tnrning our horses,
rode away in opposite directior s.
I had passed from the foot of the bridge about
a hundred yards, when I heard a sound behind
me like the hoot of an owl. I turned and saw
the dwarfish figure of old Levi standing on the
end of a beam that projected from the middle
portion of the bridge. He stood there like an
ill-omened bird in the act of flying down upon
its prey. I at once thought of the form I had
seen disappear behind the tree; and then I won
dered if the old reprobate had heard my parting
words to Kate.
to me, but, muoh to my relief, I saw nothing
more of him. He had, I felt certain, seen me
count the money, and he suspected, no doubt,
my purpose in regard to it. But what cared I
what he had seen, or what he suspected? It was
enough that I knew his wicked cunning to be
foiled, and that the lands he so much coveted
would be snatched from his avaricious grasp.
No, that was not enough, for I would not be sat
isfied until ha was brought to trial for the for
geries I was confident he was guilty.

CHAPTER XL
WBATHWAY BRIDGE.
On the fourth day after my return to Cuth-
bert, I received a letter from my banker in At
lanta, saying that the money would ba forward
ed to me the next day, Friday. If so, I would
receive it on Saturday, but on my inquiring at
the express cffiie on that day I learned that there
was no packnge there to my address. The next
day was Sunday. On Monday I was again dis
appointed in not receiving the package. I was
further disappointed in not being able to go to
Sundown. I inquired of my banker by telegraph
of the cause of the delay, and was answered that
the package bad been started to me on the day
ned ‘
alien back upon her shoulders, revealing a lux
uriance of dark hair, and wilh her cheeks, a lit
tle brown by constant exposure, wearing a rich.
“ . R he filled my ideal of ta«
er tinize than usual, she filled my
beSuL Ab, with what passionate eagerness
mentioned in Lii letter. The officers of the ex
press company was then notified of the missing
parcel, that they might begin at once to trace it.
‘Will they find it in time?’I would ask myself.
‘Am I to be belli j d at last and disappoint Kate
Goldie, after telling her so confidently that I
would bring the money ?’ And then I tried to
think, admitting this disappointment, how I
might still defeat the plans of Stephen Swetwell.
I thought of Mr. Grannleaf, but had little reason
to believe that Le would advance so large a sum,
should he happen to have that much in hand.
And ii both the express company and Mr. Green-
leaf should fail me, what might still be done.
N othing. Kate must be disappointed and the
esta e sacrificed. What a disappointment that
would be, and what a sacrifice! Anticipation of
such a result almost maddened me.
After many rtsdeas hours a package, answer
ing to the missing one, was traced to the little
town of Citkcost, in the northeastern portion of
the s:a‘e. It was immediately ordered back.
Would it reach me in time ?
I.counted the days and found that, without
any accident, it must reach me on the morning
of the day I had engaged to carry It out to Sun
down. Would theie be no accident, would the
Monday morning train come through safely—
would ihere be no running oft the track, no col
lision, no breaking of any part of the engine ? I
could only wait impatiently for the result.
The train arrived at the depot in good time
on Monday morning. With an unsteady voice
I again inquired at the express office for the
package. It was there. My hands trembled,
but with joy, as I received it. I at once cut
open the envelop and proceeded to count its
contents. There were twenty-five hundred dol
lars, in twenty-five treasure notes. I then, set
ting down to a table in the room, copied into
my pocket memoiamdum the numbers of all
the noteB. This done, I put them back into the
envelop from which I had taken them,and plac
ed the package in the inside breast pocket of
my coat.
As I got up and turned from the table to leave
the office, I siw just leaving a window—one
which was behind me while I was at the table
counting the money—a face that startled me,
because it was from Sundown. It w» s the easi
ly remembered visage cf the pious Swetwell, It
was only a glimpse of Lira that I had, yet, being
quite sure that ho hp.d seen me, I expected, when
I went out, that he would come up and speak
