THE BANNER-WATCHMAN, ATHENS, GEORGIA AI KIL 23, 18 _ *• ■ -- - FROM THE DIARY OF INSPECTOR BYRNES. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE, Author of “Tho Great Bank Robbery," “An American Penman," Eta [Copyright by O. U Dunham, and published, through special arrangement by the American Press Association with Cassell & Co., New York and London.] CHAPTER L THE NOLENS. F YOU could put on the cap of in visibility and sit for twenty-four hours in the pri vate room of In spector Byrnes at police headquar ters you would see many strange sights. Repre- sentatives of every grade of the community pj through those mysterious por- All sorts and condi- tals during the day. lions of men, from the depraved pick pocket to the cultured millionaire; all varieties of the daughters of Eve, from the poor vulgar trull to the refilled and lovely queen of society. Here meet youth and age, virtue and vice, industry and idleness, wise and foolish, good and evil. Strange events are there brought to light; life histories, fantastic, tragio, comic, pathetic, romantic, crimes start ling or sordid; human passions are there unfolded of every species—love, hate, re venge, avarice, Belf abnegation, ambition and despair, which is the death of all passion,.good or bad. And what a gal leiy of faces follow one another, in end less succession, across the threshold— beautiful, hideous, sorrowful, joyful, con tented, wretched, cultivated, degraded, spiritual, bestial. And all who come have some story to tell, some accusation to faring, some defense to oppose, some end to gain. Having said their say they dis perse again—some to liberty, some to trial; some to death, some to victory; some to prisons, some to palaces. All the contrasts of human existence, all its lights and shadows, appear in the inspec tor’s room, and disappear again, while you look on in your cap of invisibility. And there, at his desk, sits the in spector, examining, weighing, deciding, investigating, advising, reproving, en couraging; cheerful or grave, as the case may be, even tempered, firm, suave, Stern, penetrating, impenetrable; the de pository of all secrets, the revealer of none; the man who is never hurried, yet pever behindhand; never idle, yet never weary; always patient, and always prompt. No position under the munici pal government requires more tact than his, more energy, more courage, more experience. He must be pliant, yet im movable; subtle, yet straightforward; keen, yet blunt. He must know all the frailties of human nature, and yet be not too cynical to comprehend its goodness; he must bo an advocate, and at the same time a judge. In short, he must be a chief of New York detectives; and, what ever else his office may be, it is certainly no sinecure. Of the countless dramas and episodes that come to his knowledge, many can not be told again; and many, if told, would not be credited, so different from the strangeness of fiction is the strange ness of real life. On the other hand, not a few of these tales can be repeated with out indiscretion, and, in all substantial respects, precisely as they actually came to pass. Such narratives have one ad vantage over the conceptions of the im agination, that they are a record of facts, not fancies, and carry the authority and impressiveness of fact. But they also labor under a disadvantage which, per haps, more than balances the gain of reality; for facts are stubborn, and ac commodate themselves but awkwardly to the rules of artistic construction and symmetry. Like rocks in a New Eng land farm, they aro continually cropping up where they are least wanted. And yet it will sometimes happen tliat nature $6 nearly accommodates herself to art that the story assumes a tolerable grace and proportion; and such a one is con tained in the pages that follow. But, llthough the sequence and character of the events has been adhered to, the names of the persons are changed; for the affair took place but a short while since, and nearly all the actors in it are still alive, and several of them moving in the best sbeiety in New York. ^ • ***•# Mr. Bartemus Nolen was a representa tive of a good New York family, and Was possessed of comfortable means; bv jfrofe8sion he was a lawyer. He was a member of the Episcopalian church, and he married, at the outset of his career, a lady of the same persuasion, a woman of excellent education and gentle and benevolent disposition. The first twenty years of their married life passed hap- K ly and prosperously; two sons were rn to them, and a few years later a daughter, Pauline. Mr. Nolen achieved honor and eminence in his profession; the boys did well in school and after ward at college, and the daughter gave K mise of singular intelligence and uty—a promise which was afterward fulfilled. L But at length the current of luck took a turn, and began to set against the honest lawyer. He was affected with a cataract in ono of his eyes, which had not proceeded far when the other also showed signs of being affected; this mis fortune was a serious' drawback to his practice, and finally compelled him to abandon it almost entirely. Of course, practice meant money, and the cessation from it diminution of income. There was still enough left, however, to live upon with comfort, if not luxuriously; but unfortunately Mr. Nolen, being de prived of his customary mental employ ment, took to thinking of other things; and one of the subjects of his meditation was the feasibility of getting larger re turns f rom 11 is in vested property. Among his acquaintance were many men whose trade was finance, and Kartemus got in the habit of counseling with them upon financial matters. No doubt they gave him the best advice at their disposal; but when one begins to buy stocks, advice is of little use; and Mr. Nolen, after several ups and downs, came down with some what of a thump, to the extent of about a third part of his total possessions. At this juncture .he.proved his exceptional good sense and seir control; for lie never risked another dollar in speculation. Neither did he reveal the fact of iiis losses, which waa at least prudent. But these virtues could not save him from being and feeling a good deal poorer than he was before. He owned the house he lived in; and continued to live in it; but he curtailed his expenses, and by strict economy contrived to render them less than his income. His sons would soon be through college, and would then, it was to be supposed, take care of them selves. It was for his daughter that he was saWng, and he hoped to leave her at least a decent fortune after liis death. But other misfortunes were in store for him. His oldest son, Jerrold Nolen, had graduated from college, and came to New York to study medicine, living, meanwhile, at lib father’s houses He was a young fellow of ability and agree** able manners, and was popular among bb fellows. His father was proud of him, and treated him with partiality. It scon became apparent that Jerrold was rather Inclined to dissipation; his sociable nature had its detrimental side. Thb was the more unfortunate, inasmuch as he had a tendency to heart disease, and was of an excitable temperament As tlus matter will be dwelt on hereafter, It b enough to say here tliat Jerrold died under tragic circumstances in the second year of hb medical studies. Hb death, besides bringing bitter grief to his father and mother, led to legal proceedings against a person supposed to have been instru mental in compassing hb destruction— proceedings which led to no good re sults, and involved a largo expense. Mr. Nolen never recovered from the shock and disappointment of hb eldest son's sudden end; and in little more than a year afterwards the morning papers con tained respectful but brief notices of hb decease. Hb will was admitted to probate; it devised twenty thousand dollars to hb son Percy Nolen when the latter should come of age; the remainder was settled upon Mrs. Nolen, with certain provisos in the event of Pauline’s marrying with her mother’s approval. Percy's bequest was intended to start him in business, he having shown a tendency to take up mining engineering as a pursuit. He too was an intelligent boy, and left col lege in good standing as to scholarship, but his character resembled Jerrold’s in its lack of firmness and persistent en ergy; while, unlike Jerrold, he was of a selfish disposition. After graduating and coming into possession of his patri mony, he announced hb intention of postponing for a while hb professional studies and seeing a little of metropoli tan life. Thb made his mother anxious, remembering the unhappy career of her older 6on, but she interpreted Percy’s de sign in the manner most favorable to him, as simply a wish to become prac tically familiar with tho ways and man ners of good society. Percy’s original purposes may, indeed, have contemplated no more than that; but that was far from being the limit of what he actually did. Hb advances to wards the best society were neither con siderable nor prolonged. For a few months ho went to dinners and recep tions and danced at balls, but it soon be came evident that he was getting inti mate with a class of people who, by no stretch of courtesy, could be counted among the upper ten. These were chiefly young inch who dressed well, had dash and assurance of manner and were com monly to be met with on fashionable thoroughfares, in the corridors and bil liard rooin3 of the best hoteb, on base ball grounds and race tracks, and, to wards the small hours of the night, at certain restaurants and other places of resort more remarkable for brilliance and liveliness than for respectability, in which the company ceased to be ex clusively masculine and was yet not im proved by the alteration. Percy had hb choice, and thb was the class with which he chose more and more to associate. They were, as a class, not wealthy; nev ertheless to lie with them was not neces sarily to bo economical; neither did it involve regular habits or early hours. Before long Percy was convinced that the sort of life ho was leading was not compatible with making a home >inder hb mother's roof; so he took bachelor rooms on the west side of the city and went tp bed and got up at what o’clock it best pleased him. He did not keep away from home altogether; ho would drop in now and then, when nothing else was going on, sometimes to lunch, some times to dinner, sometimes to accompany hb sister to the opera or theatre, but he rad cut loose from hb mother’s apron itrings and showed no present signs of meaning to come back to them. He was living a fast life, and not the best kind of fast life either. Ono of the executors of Mr. Bartemus Nolen’s will was Judge Odin .Ketelle, a gentleman who had at one period been a partner of Nolen’s, and had always re mained on intimate and friendly terms with the family. He was a man of po sition and influence, and was quietly and steadily amassing a large fortune. Mrs. Nolen, in her anxiety about Percy, nat urally turned to this friend for counsel; and probably she could not have done better if she were to do anything. Tho judge heard her timid and fond com plaints, in which she tried to shield the son whose misdeeds she was forced to expose. When she had finished ho sat with Ids hands folded on the table and hb eyes under their thick eyebrows fixed in thoughtful contemplation as he had been wont to sit cn the bench when con sidering some point of law advanced by counsel “If a boy wants to be a fool he mostly succeeds in hb wish," he remarked after a while. “Percy has a good deal of un tamed Wood in hb composition, and he will probably work it off ‘in hb own fashion. His father gnve-hhn lib money without conditions or restrictions, hop ing that the sense of responsibility would sober him; but it will need more than that. He will spend it—that is, throw it into the gutter—and then we may look for the dawning of reason in him.” “I am sure lie is a good boy,” said hb mother. “He is only full of life and thoughtless.” “There b no reason to suppose him actually vicious,” the judge replied, “and, that being the case, we niay expect that the want of money will bring him to terms. 1 do not look to see hb father’s son commit any act that will bring him under the cognizance of the law; he is, I take it, incapable of any dishonesty; consequently, when he becomes bank- rapt, he must do one of three things: either he will sit down and starve like a gentleman, or he will find some employ ment that will give him a living, or he will come back to you, like ins prodigal prototype in Holy Writ." “Percy starve! Oh, judge!" faltered Mrs. Nolen. “Do not be uneasy; Percy will not starve,” returned he, with a slight flavor of irony in hb tone. “He b not natu rally disposed to asceticism, nor has he tlie kind of pride that would prompt him rather to die than betray signs of human weakness. On the other hand he is clever and quick, and could easily pick up an honest livelihood in other ways than by pursuing hb project of mining should he find it necessary to forego that. But my own anticipation is, my. dear Mary, that lie b too lazy, and that his habits of application, such as they were, have become too much broken up to make tliat course likely. YYtot I Jo expect b that lie will come back to you and ask you to provide for him.” “Tliat b all 1 ask!” Mrs. Nolen ex claimed. “I have no doubt of it, my dear,” an swered the judge with a smile. “But in this connection there is something that I wish to impress upon you very strongly. Do not, as you value hb ultimate wel fare, not to speak of your own, give him any money without first consulting me. If you fail toobserve thb precaution, de pend upon it you will get into trouble. I know what young men are, and how they regard their mothers—as just so much indulgent soft heartedness to be taken advantage ofl No, it bn’t cynic ism; it’s the truth; and so you will find it. Now, what Percy needs is the con viction that there b no choice for him but to work. So long as ho thinks that he can be supported without working he will remain idle. It may be hard for you to refuse him, but unless you do you will only work him an ill turn. You are not a rich woman by'any means. Bar temus—it b as well you should know it now—lost a large part of his fortune by injudicious investments; and when you take out of that the sum secured to Pau line as her dower—a sum which, fortu nately, neither you nor she can touch for three years to come—you will have lefl barely enough to live comfortably on. As for Percy’s twenty thousand, we may look upon that ps being as good as gone; it b only a question of time, and no very long time. Until it b gone it is no use attempting to influence him. So much for that! But now, my dear Mary,” con tinued the judge, rhanging his tone, “1 wish to'speak to you on another matter of no small moment to you, to myself- and to Pauline!" CHAPTER IL SUITORS. RS. member her as an infant lying in your anus; and it does not seem to me that I have changed much since then. And yet Pauline b a woman, and hdb more char acter and substance, too, than many a woman of twice her age. What miracles time worksl” ‘She b the best girl imthe world!” said the mother tenderly. “I am much inched to agree with you,” responded the judge. “She b so strong, so clear sighted, so faithful and upright," pursued Mrs. Nolen. “And yet there b nothing cold or unsympathetic about her. When her emotions are touched, she seems all fire and spirit. I am sure nosister ever loved her brother, nor any daughter her moth er, as Pauline loves Percy and me.” “I can well believe it. And have you ever seen signs in her of another sort of love—not tliat of the daughter or the sis ter?” “Oh, I am afraid to think of that!” re turned Mrs. Nolen, pressing her white hands nervously together. “It is so easy for a girl to make a mistake; and for her a mistake would be fatall" “I think she lias good sense enough not to fall into any serious error,” paid the judge, “though I am no less per suaded that, if she '-»ved a man who in himself was worthy of her, she would allow no considerations of merely Ratfish .prudence to prevent her union with him. But I was going to ask you,” he added, with a certain subdued anxiety in hb deep toned voice, “whether it has come to your knowledge—whether you have any reason to think that she has already met any ono who—whom 6ho would be likely to prefer to any one eke?” “I have not thought of it—it has not occurred to met” said Mrs. Nolen, with an accent of apprehension, looking at tho judgo with wide open eyes. _ “It b hardly too soon to take such a possibility into oonH’dention.” lie re turned. "Pauline is mature for her age; and it is not too much to say that she is one of the most beautiful young women in New York. You take her a good deal into society; she cpn hardly fail to meet with admiration." . Yea, yes, you are right, said the mother. “Now that you speak of it, 1 sea tliat sucli a thing may happen. But she has spoken to me of no one, and I am sure she would have spoken if -— Do not trust too much to that,” he interposed. “A young girl, with a mind as healthy and pure as hers, does not readily ask lierself if she lie in love; she may becomeso before she is aware of it, and only the avowal of her lover will open her eyes. Till then you cannot ex pect her to speak of it to you. And then, if she have made up her mind, it would be too late to speak.” “But would you advise me to question her? Might it not suggest to her some thing which she otherwise would not have thought off” “Tliat b not improbable. But why not approach the matter from the other side? is there no one among the young men who know her who have shown signs of any particular interest in her?” “They all seem to admire her," said Mrs. Nolen. “But I can think of no one in particular—unless it be Percy’8 friend, Mr. Martin.” “Valentine Martin—the young Eng lishman?" • “Yes. Percy sometimes brings him here. But his being a friend of Percy makes a difference between him and the others.” “How so?" ■» “In the fact of hb being here oftener. I mean, if it were not for that 1 should think hb visits had some further signifi cance.” “I am not altogether convinced that bis being ^ friend of Percy would de prive Ills visits of significance,” said the judge. “It is conceivable, at any rate, that ho might have made a friend of Percy in order to facilitate lib access to Pauline.” “He seemed a frank, straightforward young man, not one you would suspect of doing anything underhand.” The judge laughed; a very low, pleas ant laugh he had, which made those who heard it disposed at once to like him. “You are more like a nun, in your un suspiciousness and unworldiiness, than like a married woman who goes in New York society,” said lie. “Let me assure you, my dear, that a man in love b not to be held a criminal, or even a hypo crite, if he uses some strategy to get near the object of hb affection. I should for give Mr. Martin even if he went so far as' to pretend a cordiality for Percy that he did not really feel, if so lie might in duce Percy to admit him to the intimacy of your household. No, if we are to take exceptions to him, it must be from another standpoint. What do you know about hb personal history and hb social standing in his ow.n country?" “I suppose it must be good," said Mrs. Nolen. “I think he said that his family owned a large estate in Cumberland.” “Is lie the eldest son?” “The next to the eldest, I believe." “And what b his business in Amer ica?” - . “I don’t know. But a great many En- glbh people come here nowadays, you know. It b a part of their education.” Yes; but 6ome of them are pretty well educated before they get here,” re marked the judge dryly, *and occasion ally they manage to teach us something before they leave. There is in England the same difference lietween an eldest son and the other sons that there b be tween a rich man and a pauper. By the law of primogeniture the estates, and N O L EN’S generally the bulk of the money, goes to face, which had the first born; the other boys get posi- assumed an ex- tions, if they can, in the army, the civil pression of pen- service or the church.

"As I have no means for honestly leading such look back, it a life. They form a class of gentleman seems impossible, adventurers. They are men of agreeable but so it is. I re- manners and culture, talk well, look well, are excellent at cards and billiards, and live no one knows how. Some of them come over here for reasons known only to themselves; they are very pleas ant acquaintances, but it b well not to trust them too far. They have no fixed place in the world and no responsibility.” “You don't mean that Mr. Martin is— an adventurer?” demanded Mrs. Nolen, in a voice of faint consternation. “So far as I know he may be the best fellow in England. But I know nothing about him one way or tho other. How did Percy become acquainted with him?” “He met him somewhere—at some club, I imagine.” “That, may be all right, or it may not. At all events, you Will see that you should proceed with some circumspection. The 'rules that apply to our young men do not necessarily apply to foreigners. Mr. Martin may be much better educated, and have more polished and quiet man ners, than nine out of ten of your Amer ican acquaintances; and yet it might be better that Pauline should marry the least attractive of the latter than Mr. Martin.” “I wish you would see him and find out whether he b nice,” said Mrs. Nolen, with anxious earnestness. “I would willingly do so, but for one reason,” the judge replied, “and that is tliat the peculiar circumstances might disqualify me from forming an unbiased opinion.” “Oh, I am not afraid of that. My hus band used to say that there could be no one more impartial iuid just than you.” “Even assuming that judgment of his to have been impartial, I should never theless bo disqualified from presiding at a trial where, for instance, the prisoner was charged with tho murder of some friend of my own.” “I do not understand, Mr.. Martin has surely not murdered any one?” Bless me, not I was only using an extreme illustration. But Mr. Martin might wish to obtain something which I had set my own heart on possessing.” There was a manifest embarrassment In the judge’s manner. Mrs. Nolen looked puzzled. She began to suspect there was something behind all thb, but 6he could not divine what it was. “I began life pretty early, as you know,” continued he, tafter a pause. “Since the age of 14, I believe, I have supported myself. Measuring my exist ence by that standard, I might be called an old man. But though, in the matter of years, I am uot exactly a boy, yet I am but 43 years old, and you will admit, my dear, tliat men have been known tp live a good deal longer than that.” “1 am sure you will live to be twice 43,” put in Mrs. Nolen kindly. “Half that b all 1 would ask, if I might realize the liappiness that I hope for,” returned the judge, with a faint smile. “And is this happiness anything that I can help to insure you?" “1 can hardly say that In fact, it is essential in one way that it should come, if come at all, as freely and spontane ously as tlie sunshine from heaven. Nev ertheless, I am under obligation to speak to you of my hopes, that you may ap preciate my position and understand my conduct." He stopped, and the color mounted to hb face. “I love Pauline,” he said, a strong emotion vibrating in hb voice. “1 hope to make hei^love me and to accept me for her husband.” “Oil, judgel” exclaimed Mrs. Nolen, taken wholly by surprise. She looked at him intently for a few moments, and then the startled look in her face soft ened, and she began to smile. She left her chair, and, coming to where he sat, put a hand upon hb shoulder; and as he looked up at her she bent down and kissed him upon the forehead. She was I srjlj smiling, but there were tears in her 1 eyes. * “Do you think me absurd?” said the judge. “I think you are right,” was her reply. “At first I could not believe—1 had al ways looked up to you as to a sort of elder brother—l could not imagine you as the husband of myjittle daughter— my own son-in-law. "But 1 think you are right Pauline b a little girl no longer; in almost everything but years she b older than I; she b fitted to be the wife of a man even so much older than herself as you are. No one of her own age would suit her as well.” “Then you will not be against me?” he said, starting up. “Indeed, I will not All that I do shall be done for you.” She put her hands in his, and he grasped them warmly. “It b more than half selfishness in me,” she added. “It would give me some right to rely on you. I should not feel so lonely." ‘However thb may turn out, always know that you may rely on me,” the judge returned, with deep feeling. “Our friendship began long ago, Mary, and doesn’t need any other tie to bind it If Pauline, when the question b put before her, decides against me—and I am fully aware how easily that may be her ver dict—1 shall accept it like a man, and you will remember that, so far as I am concerned, it will involve not the slight est change in my devotion to you and yours. I sliall leave no honorable means untried to win her; but, above all things, I desire to avoid forcing her inclination, either by any act of my own, or through you. That you should approve of my purpose is all I ask. Leave the rest to Providence, and to her.” “I understand,” said Mrs. Nolen, “and, indeed, if 1 wished to help you, 1 should not do it by singing your praises to her. You being what you are, the best thing to do is to leave her to find you out for herself.” “If Mr. Martin be my rival,” resumed- the judge, “let him have hb chance and defeat me if he can. If he be the better man it will appear; and God forbid that I should make her my wife knowing that she would have been happier with an other. But if love go for anything, I love her well, and in all my life she is the first and only woman I have loved.” “You might have rivab more danger ous than Mr. Martin,” returned the mother, with another smile, and so the interview came to a close.
