A Fact Rolatod in Seven Woll- Told Fables. BY It. E. FILYXCILLON. Author of “A Great Heiress,” “Quits At Last,” “A Real Queen,” “Earl’s Dive,” etc., etc. FABLE THE SECOND.— Continued. Stephen considered. Indeed, con sidering was his forte: and therefore, to some extent, his foible. Clearly the sergeant was not a man to be easily convinced of being wrong, and the force of practical argument was alto gether on his side. Everything depend ed on the unlucky Dick Blackthorn get ting clear—and he could not be any thing like yet beyond catching. But if Stephen allowed himself to be caught, Dick would be safe at the Half Moon long before the error could be discover ed, and he himself, as soon as lie was discharged as the victim of mistaken identity, could follow him without much delav. “I see there's no deceiving you, ser geant,* 1 sa’d ho. ■“ None whatever. So —quick! March! Ah, ’tis nisv to >ee you’ve never leen under my hands, ray lad, or 'tis not the goose-step y’cught to be learning, raw recruit as y'are. Innocent or not innocent, it is no agreeable sensation to be lo 1 through the streets of a country town stripped and bareheaded, and with scarlet uni forms and lixed bayonets and loaded muskets on each side. Fortunately for his feelings on that score, Stephen Har low was not known to a soul in Hun chester; .so that the litile boys and gir's who danced around the party in shy de rision, and with that joy in others 1 misery w!.i h is me of untamed child hood's ehii-fe-t charms, could not make much imprt ss on upon his philosophy, lie was no humorist; but there was a queer flavor approaching to l.urr.o-as he passed, in this plight, where he had bought the ring, now for safety on the m'ddle joint of his own little finger. For there stoo l the jeweler himself tc. see the row fun, Stephen was tempted to throw him a no! of recognition, just to astonish him: but thought it outlie whole more suitable to his part (in which he was beginning to take some pride) to refrain from such insult to a respeetal !o tradesman. Presently lie was marched into n !ab'o at the ba k of a small public hou.-e, where he sat upon an empty corn-ehc TANARUS, :.id listened to the tramp cf the sentry pus ed over him. Well, the adventure could not last much longer now. But after he had heard the church clock chime tho quarto.s thr.'e >, he Logan to think that the one was getting cecal ally long: and lie struck with his list on the door. “I say, ray man.' 1 he called out to the sentry, ‘-how lmg am I to be kept litre? 11 But there was no answer; ] erh ips a sentry on duty was not allowed con vets ;t!on with a prisoner. But when the hours passed without an event save a change of guard over the stable door, a certain amount of anxiety began to mingle with mere impatience. Ilow long had Dick Blackthorn be- n at tbe Half Moon? What mischief would he He ue'ting into, left to himself so long? For there must need-; be horses at an inn: and women, too. Ilowevo-, the door was opened at last, and by the light of a lantern, for it was now past twilight, Stephen was marched through the s.able-\ard in si . lcnce, and into a room iu tho inn, from its appearance used for club meetings and such things. And, by the light of a pair of candle •, he saw himself in presence of three gentlemen in scarlet, with epaulettes, sashes, cocked hats and .-words. These were seated, with papers and a bottle of w.'ne before them; vh'le the Irish sergeant stood at attention near the door. The cldc t and most imposing of the officers glanced quickly at the prisoner. “Your report, sergeant,” said he. “And be sh—short.” Avery decided hiccough marred the dignity of the la t word. Messes were messes in those lighting times. “ Richard Blackthorn, sorr; of Cap llayleigh’s company; listed at Hills borough last Friday, and deserved on the march to-day. Found skulking in a ditch by me.” “Appearances are against me, sir, I must own.” said Stephen. “Butneith er have I ever enlisted, nor is my name either R chard or Blackthorn. lam St ph -a Harlow, a land surveyor at Millport —” “The devil you are!” said the officer, with a stare, “It's a vv'se recruit, Major, that knows his own name,” said one of the others, with a smile. “Weil,” said the Major, “there’s no time to F se: and no spare men to 10-e e ther.—Mildiuay—guilty or not guilty? Smith? The prisoner is guilty of de sertion ou the m march. Fifty lashes in presence of the regiment. And, let me warn you, w hat's your name—Pri vate Richards —it will be death when we re across the sea.” Stephen could only stare. “But, hies- you, sir, 1 am rot the man! ’ “ Prove it, then. A surveyor?—a lawyer, \ou mean.—But time.'sprecious; confound you, be quick, and don't waste the time of the court over your pock et-)—” For Stephen had letters and such like tilings about him that would have been proof; hut hang it ail!—they were in the coat that was at the Half Moon. Now a reg'mental court-martial (for such was this tribunal) is notoriously tno must foimsl and the mod just among all courts where ju-tico is never allowed to he over-ridden by law or e jut v: especially equity. But “Is 5 is not “Wa-,” end it wa “Was” when SB phen I lari <vv appeared before Major Sjurn Aul, though fewer aud fewer can remember them, very queer things indeed u ed to ba done in marching regiments In time cf war, both at home tnd abroad. Over the drumhead no* fcodv was vtv precis l about forms, ami appeals were seldom made and never heard. And it so happened that this r ‘giraent was both pressed for tiin-> and short of strength; part of it had already embarki and, and the remainder, under this Major Squire, was following close at heel. ‘•lt’s unlucky, but I have uot my pocket-book,” said Stephen. ‘•Deuced unlucky! But I don't want to make ary c—founded mistake. Any bodv know y ,u in what’s this place— Hunchi ster?” “Nobody. But in Millport I'm known as well as the town clock—” “Ali! How far of? s Millport?” “Two hun Ire l miles. But a 1 -Her—” “Oil! A letter would take four days —we must be at sea in two. There, prisoner. That will do.’’ Stephen was beginning to feel queer, lie had not seen matters in this light at all when ho had given lis clothes to the real Pri\ ate Blackthorn and transformed himself in o a deserter. Slill, it was monstrous on the face of it. And a lucky thought came into his mind. Without putting Farmer Blackthorn upon the painful sc'nt he was engaged in keeping from them, and must not, without u mo;, need, reveal, he saw ho vhe could get oit of this queer scrape at once and we 1. “1 have a friend, sir, hard by here—a responsible man, who will come over to-m irrow and tell you who I am; Mr. Marrish, one of the leading yeomen of this country-side. If I may send him a message ’ ’ One of the officers whispere 1 a word to the Major, who regarded the prison er crossly and doubtfully, with redden ing “You’re a troublesome rascal,” said lie, “whoever you are: and if you’re lying the King’s got one bad bargain; and if you’re not lying lie’s well rid of another. We don t want lawyers aga'n -t the French; we want men. Sergeant, see that this fel low’s message goes to-night. Gentle men, one more bottle before turning in.” No Half Moon to-night. Stephen ob tained a split quill and some ink and water in its native bo,tie, and, by the light of a stable lantern, on the corn bin for a desk, wrote: “Deak Mahkish: A blundering Irish ser geant has arrested me for a deserter. I'm mis taken for another man. And tiie worst of the blunder is that the regiment is bound for for eign service. Come over to Hunehester, pray, at auy trouble, for which you may reckon on my gratitude—for it is a serious thin*?—and come yourself, for i have reasons, which you shall know hereafter, for keeping - this mess secret from the blackthorns; so, to them, not a word. All 1 ask you to do is to ask for Al ajor Squire, nt tl.c Hull, Hunehester, and to teii him th..t 1 am, your most grateful, Stephen Harlow." Having given this to the sergeant himse’f. he found nothing better to do than to lie do wn in the straw and dream of his Patience 111 morning found its way through the green bottle-ends that served t> keep out the air. So. as no body thought of his needing a wash, In* looki and next morning more than ever Ike what he seemed to be*. But they gave him a hunk of bread for breakh st: and lie" might have had better, an 1 Ic *n better waited upon, arid b, tter believed besides, if he had not transferred his purse as well a; his pocketbook to Dick Blackthorn. After a weary while, during which he vowed twenty t rues never to be good-natured again, he was about noon, again brought into the club-room, and confronted with the formidable tribu ral, now as sober a-, according to the prov. rb. all judges always are. But there, too, Goodness b< thanked! stood Enoch Marr'sh; that was better than well. “Mr. what's your-nrime—” “Marrhli, Major Squire. Enoch Mar risli,” sa’d the farmer. “Mr. Enoch Marrish,” went on the Majo\with die condescension duo from one whose trade was killing to one whose trade was feeding, “we have male inquiries, and learn that you an a respe. table and responsible man. The pr'soner here says you know him. Is thatso?” Farmer Marrish looked long and slow ly at .Stephen. Then he shook Ills head. “No,” said he. Stephen Harlow started as if the first of the fifty lashes had fallen on his bare shoulders. “Good God, Marrish!” lie cried out, “ibis is no joking matter! What do you mean?” The farmer shook his head again; and that was all. FABLE THE'Till HD. THE VI t* lilt AND THE COUNTRY MAM. Patience Blackthorn wont half-way to tho village to moot lior lover on his way back from lluuchester, The wed ding bells were already singing in her heart. No; whatever father and neigh hors might say, she could not believe that ne’er-do-well Dick was really bad. when all the world was so good and so gay. And how good above all things and creatures was her own husband that was to be! llow true and thought ful and strong he was —what a rock to lean upon and what an anchor to hold by. What a good wife she would be to b in; if she did not love him so much the burden of gratitude he had laid upon her would be all too great to bear. But Love knows nothing of debt: he cannot be even grateful, he is so ail in all when he is truly trtic. What made him so late? Once she thought she saw him in the and stance, and took out her handkerchief to wave. But, she was a trifle short sighted, and presently perceived that she had mis taken a hat and a coat for the man; and the wearer presently turned out of the path towards Leys Croft by way of the church, and struck off towards the cross-roads by the Half Moon. “I'm afraid he thinks me a little cold,” thought she. “But never mind that— he shall not think so forever.” But at last she had gone so far that her eager ness to meet him would seem a little too warm and eager, all at once. So she sat upon a stile and waited there, thinking happily, while the rooks cawed home, and listening to the sheep-boil tinkling far away. But s:ill he did not come. And at last slic could only de cide that his buyings must have kept him iu Ilunchester, and that he was not corning home at all before morning. It was a disappointment, for she had gone forth so full of lov e and joy. But still, men must be men, and have their work that makes small women jealous and large women helpful and wLe. Pa tience Blackthorn, though small, was one of the large. She fully expected, however, to see him turn up for breakfast, and prepared special provision for a man hungry with an up-and-down-hill walk from Hun cl.ester to Leys Croft. When she ditl not come she looked for a message pres ently; and when that did come then for a surprise and a startle. She would be going about the place and would l'ght upon him hard at work, as if net ling had happened; and then there might be a sham falling-out, for the sake of what would follow. Then, when he did not came to dinner, sue began to fear that he had sent a message by some chance idler, who had lost it by the way. For she had a head 0,1 her shoulders, aud never jumped to uncomfortable conclu sions unless compelled. Besides, Ste phen was Stephen; there could be nothing really wrong, or without good cause. No doubt he had sent that message, and no doubt would Outstrip his errand-boy. Nevertheless, she would not go down the road to meet him, just today. She did not like to seem running after him; and he must stand his trial for negli gence, even though he was acquitted beforehand. And it was perfectly easy to keep her resolution until the* day’s work was done and tho lirA occasion for breaking it had arrived. So, as she would break it, she struck a com promise. She would go along the path till she struck a hedgo corner, whence she touhl see him coming a long way oil' without herself being seen, and whence she could then run round home so as to receive him as if she had never been outside the newly-mended gate all the day. Nor would she tell him what she had done till that day ten years. So thought, so done. She went into her budi, and waited there, till sure enough, sbe caught sight of a figure coming down the hill. She did not wait for better assurance, and she for got that a chief part of her programme was to run away. So she darted out into the path, and waved her white handkerchief as a signal that she was the re. Bat how her very heart blushed So find, even while her kerchief was wav ing, that it was not Stephen coming over the hill. Surely, according to all belief. Love does not make such blund ers as these. Love has a prescience in fallible—can see without eyes, hear without ears, and llv without wings— at least so the poets say. And she had made the monstrous blunder of seeing Stephen Harlow in old Farmer Mar rish —no ; she could never confess that to him, not even that day live-and twenty years. The truth is she was getting anxious, in spite of herself, and was capable of taking a cloud in the sky for Stephen, ha 1 that suddenly gathered along the hill. She furled her flag forthwith. But then it stiuck her that Farmer Marrish was himself coming from the and reclion of Hunches ter, and if so, he might be the bearer of a message from Stephen. So, making believe she had uot seen him, she made a pretence of studying the promise of the blackberry crop till his plodding pace brought him up to her. “Good evening, Mr. Marrish,” said she. “Good evening. Miss Patience. It looks settling weather, now—just when the land's crying for rain.” His words were certainly common place enough: but even then it struck her there was something odd about his manner. Farmer Marrish notoriously never drank, beyond his solitary lr'ght eap, anything stronger thin water gruel, or his abrupt and yet hesitating manner, and the way in which one foot seemed anxious to hurry on while the other as plainly was bent ujk>:i staying, and a certain constraint about his words as if they would jostle unless kept in or der, would have given her additional proof that he had been at Hunehester, whence a farmer was not supposed to return quite as lie went thither. Finally the stop] iug leg prevailed. “ Tom Blackthorn all right?” asked he. “ I must come and give him a look up, before long. Only ’tis hard to And the time, in this busy world —and no body to help me but my own bands; not but what they’re better and stronger everywhere; ay, and younger, too. Youth don’t belong to years, Miss Pa tience. I'm a younger man than I was twenty years ago.” Nor was he, though gnarled and dry, what middle-aged eyes would teim old. But Patience wondered what an extra ordinary old-looking head on young shoulders he must have had, if it really looked older twenty years ago than now; the idea of developing backward puzzled her; for if Stephen should age in the same fashion, anil she with him, they ought to become mere children in twenty years. ‘•You’ve been at Hunehester?” asked she, feigning iudillerence. “What a year this will be for blackberry jam!” “Hunehester? No. That is, yes,” said he; for somebody might have seen him there, aril he was not a man to throw away a lie. She saw nothing in the contradiction —except that Farmer Marrish must assuredly have been tempted from water-gruel for once in a while; and, not having the modern feeling about such lapses on the part of self-indulgent man as di>t nguished from selfless woman, she was rather amused. It would be a good joke l'or her father wdien he got home. “Yes. But there was nothing going on there. Nothing at all. At 1 ast nothing to speak of— Fm not much good at the shop-win dows,” lie said, with what he meant for a Jivolv smile. lie knew, as surely as if she had to’d him so, that she was waiting to meet Stephen Harlow: and this knowledge, and the sight of her, instead of provok ing iii't.int repentance for a cruel wrong, only inflamed h's jealousy, h's greed and liis desire. He was misera bly conscious that he did not know the straight way to a girl’s heart, 1 ke liis rival; and so, as lie must needs get there somehow, a crooked one had to serve. He it said for him that the vil lainous ] lot of getting his rival out of the field by denying him had not come full-blown into liis brain. Stephen’s letter of summons, tally full and alto gether to the purpose as it whs, had not put him into Hill knowledge of the :i u ation; this lie did not attain until he reached Hunohe ter, and learned for himself how th ngs were, and how they would go if let alone; or, rather, if given a push, to send them a little more sharply in the way they were going of themselves. Hut the seed hail been fgwn; and no sudden impulse could he brought in to extenuate Farmer Mar rish’s “No.” And, if lie suffered any qualms of compunction the way back, they were laid at rest at sight of Pa tience Blackthorn and her pretense of looking for blackberries. “No,” said Patience, Hanking him her friend, but still not caring to wear her heart upon her sleeve for any pair of eyes but one to see. She wanted to know if he had seen Stephen; but she wanted him to tell her without her having to ink him. “No—l shouldn’t come to you for the fashions. Hut 1 never looked to see you coming from Hunehester on any but inarket-dav.” “Oh, my dear, I’ve got more irons than one in the tire; and some of them are pretty warm—only they want look ing after; it doesn’t do to chance their getting cold. It doesn't do to put all one’s eggs into the soil—mv tour place isn’t like Leys Crol’t, you know, where things come up of themselves. Leys Croft, now, would make a man's fortune; your father’s a first-rate farm er, of course, but he don't go on with the times. Now I do—l always go on with the times.” “Leys Croft will be made the most of now,” said she. “The gentlemen who are going to take it over—” “1 know,” said he, hastily; "office men two hundred miles away, and a bailiff that don’t know the land. We know what sort of farming that means. I say, Miss Blackthorn, it's a sin and a shame. But Tom Blackthorn always was as stubborn as he's high.” “But Stephen —but Mr. Ilarlow. says—” It was only by an immen-e effort tha; I*s restrained from saying something that would have made Patience his im placable enemy. But lie did make the effort, and only answered: “Yes; lie's a sharp youth, indeed. M hen lie's twenty years older maybe he 11 know something about a farm. Will your father be in next market night? I want to come over and have a crack over tilings. Or—l've half a good mind to walk over now—lf—if you're going Leys Croft way.” [TO BE CONTINUED.] * '• —“He that runs may read” is often supposed to be a quotation from tho Bible; the words really are: “He may run that readeth,” and it is pot certain that the sense conveyed by the popular misquotation is co.reet. — N.
