WA SCLLLAN £QU S~ BAKED AND DEFEATED ‘You will meet Waltor Suttou at The Roses; outer into no rivalry with him.’ This was the proscript of my father’s letter, and the ono closed in the brightest horizon of my hopes. I was twenty three years old, just released from college, a little pale and weary with study, and bound for that par .dise of the earth, my widowed sister Margaret’s home—The Roses. I war, to spend the summer with Mag, and the prospect had been oiie of in finite dolitrht. But how 1 heard that Button was there. This Walter Button was a young brother of Mag’s deceased husband, a millionaire’s son, and Parisian by ed ucation. At twenty, ho had been familiar with the Mabille. At twenty-six ho was pronounced the handsomest and most dissipated man in London, and now, a year later, I was to have his companionship for the summer at the house of my sisters, Mrs. Margaret Button. The man had always had a fascina tion fur me. while I despised him.— His Apoliian beauty, his knowledge of the world, his coolness, daring, and fearlessness, I regarded with wonder. But I had sense enough to weigh these against his cynicism, his black ened reputation, and his rakish man ner, which told his tale of unhap piness, and to keep quietly on my way, unonvious of his success. At the time I went to The R *«.-■« 1 was,- moreover, less liable to impure influ ence, for I had just lost the noblest ami dearest of mothers. It is true I did not relish meeting Walter Button, but L was not one to borrow trouble. It was June weath er; blue anil green were glad togeth er; and I was free. My horse arched his beautiful neck, and trotted slowly and proudly along tho road, while 1 looked across the sunny holds, watch ing for the first signs of my sister’s mansion—trees rustling, flowers blooming, birds singing around me. Suddenly! saw a cariiage whirling in advance of me. 1 recognlzt and the man on the box and spurred forward. I gained it. Tho stately latly with in it looked up, threw asaido her sa ble veil, and cried ‘Lewis'.’ ‘Are you going home, Maggie?’ ‘Directly.’ ‘I ant with you ’ At that moment I became ccn eious of the earnest gaze of a pair ot golden brown eyes. My sister was not alone in tho carriage. A young girl with her lap full pi water lillies, and a largo s'riw hat shading tho fairest and loveliest of faces sat beside her. We looked enquiringly at eacli other, hut for once my admirable sis ter forgot the demands of society. In her pleasure at seeing me she omitted the introduction, and loaning from her seat she questioned mo eagerly legarding occurrences at home. She had not been there since my mother’s furnerul had taken place in tho win ter. Suddenly a light phaeton whirled by us, tho driver of which lifted his hat as he passed, giving a piering look in to tho carriage. I followed it, and fancied I saw the young girl’s hand trembling among the billies on her lap. ‘You know that Walter is with us, Lewis?’ remarked Margaret, a little cloud on her face. ‘Yes he is looking well.’ ‘lie always looks well,’ said Mag, significantly Wo were entering the avenue. Iwo splended rose trees guarded tho gate tho rustic trelises held an arch ot blossoming vines above their heads.— I questioned Mag as to her garden. ‘My gardeners say that they’have been successlul this year. I think 1 appreciate the roses more than usual this year, for Alice enjoys them so much.’ | Yes my sister turned as she spoke, | with a found smile at the girl at her I side, and then remembered to say, , ‘Alice, this is my brother Lewis. Mr. Verner, Miss Loo. So those golden brown eyes came up to mine again, and my look of ad- I miration was rewarded with a little smile, so sweet that I then and there fell in love with its owner. We drove through clouds of perfume ( to the door. There were ladies and 1 gentlemen upon the terrace. I had seen some of them before— all nice people. The summer promis ed to be gay I knew that I was wry happy that evening, singing with Alice ‘Lee. But there was an evil iaflttOOOe in the house. I soon felt it. Button’s ; wealth nnd extravgance bred a spirit .of envy among the young men; his j sneering smile blighted our pure and j simple pleasures, an l it exasperate 1 ; the masculine portion of tho company ;to observe tho influence this Mephis tophelee hud over tho boautiful, inno eont, romantic girls they loved Thoro wore those of the man who he seduced jat the start. They copied lus vices | in less than three weeks. Then followed satisfaction and heartache among men and women. | But I, who from tho first tloclined ,to play cards and drink in Button’s rooms, felt uucontaminatod, and free Ito sook that priceless treasure in life j a pure woman’s love. | l tried to please Alice Leo, and suc iceeded. In July, we were engaged.— j And 1 just began to understand how good ands veet my darling was. I j remember that I came home from fishing one day, with a face noarly blis'tered by the sun. Alice in her cool, white dross, with violet ribbon [at tho throat, peeped out of tho door tit me as I came up tho garden, where I had delivered up the spoils of the day into tho hands of Mag’s cook, and held up her hands in mock horror.— Iu truth, l was something of aspocta blo, with my white linen suit illumina ted with tho juice of strawberries— 1 the pantaloons thrust into tho legs of muddy boots plentifully besprinkled with dust of country rbads, and fierce ly sunburnt. But 1 had been gone all day, and Alice made up a face to kiss me. ‘No,’ said I; ‘I will excuse you, since I have, a blistered nose, and I am covered with dust.’ 1 was quite in earnest, ami tried to hold her off, fearing her delicate dress would get soiled if she touched me; but she won her way to my breast rubbed a little place clean on my fore head with her embroidered hanker chief, kissed tho spot, and laughed in my eyes. ‘Dear Lewis,’ said site, ‘it’s you, and I’m not afraid of dirt that wil. wash off.’ The mcriment softened iu 'her love ly face. ‘Lewis,’ slie said softly, ‘don t think I love you for your clothes, or your complexion, or your whiskers, which all tiie girls admire but because you tire good and true, and I led that 1 can trust you. Do you know what made me love yt u at first?’ I shook my head. ‘Because all Button’s wiles to draw you over to his set failed You ad mire honesty and purity, and have maintained them so nobly, that I hon or and admire you. If you were a I a baeksmith, I would marry you and live in a hovel.’ And with her beau t.ful eyes sparkling with tears, my darling hugged me, and then put bed me off, and then ran away to hide how she was crying. Blissfully happy 1 stumbled up stairs, plunged into a bath, and, di vested myself of all stains of earth. But wuen I went into my dressing room, I perceived tho film *s of But ton s cigars. They were of a peculiar brand, and no one smoked them but himself. Jlu was sitting in tho south portico, close to the door where l had j met Alice, llow long had lie been' there? My hand trembled as I brusliod my hair. Should 1 have boon ashamed of it? I think not, Sutton had a repu tation of taking horrible revenges,and I had so much to lose. But after a moment I braced my self mentally and physically, and sat down to read. 1 was too tired to go down stairs. But tiie fumes of that cigar seemed- to have got into my head; tho page was hasty and distinct 1 could see nothing so plainly as Sut ton s Greek profile and liyaeinthine air, and suspecting I was ill 1 at length threw down the volume anil went to bed by starlight. 1 was ill for a lornight with a low, nervous fever. My valet took me in charge, but Alkie came iu every day with Margaret, and di l me more good with ten minute s potting than Eugene's most patient attention ac complished the whole day. She kept dowers at my bedside, and stretched propriety to the utmost to see me. — At first her smiling eyes by my pillow ware delicious; butouo day I saw she regarded me iu a troubled, wistful way, and afterwards I discovered taut she was growing pale. ‘What is the matter? tell mo, pet,’ 1 said. ‘Oh, j’ou get well so slowly,’ she said, a transient fiush on her delicate check. I did not dream what persecutions sho was undergoing while 1 lay there, Out sho would uot worry mo with any complaints; brave, faithful lovely lit tle heart. I was nearly well at last—sat up all day in my room, and sent word to my friends below that I would bo with them the following day. At midnight tho radiance of tho | moon light awoke me from a deep i sleep I could npver sleep in a room I flooded with tho light of the moon. I ! rose, threw on my dressing gown, and * was prepairing to close the shutters, ! when l distinctly perceived the pun j gent odor of chloroform. Now if I had been in the body of the house, I should have decided that somo unfortunate poisons among the intimates of the house had experienc ed a midnight attack of toothache; but | there were no chambers in the south ! wing but Alice Lee’s and mine. Every | pearly tooth in her rosy mouth was pi:i feetl_v oound, I knew; go I wuspuz izled. The next revelation was tho ! propinquity of a horse s neigh. The horses belonging to the house woro, or ought to have boon, at a dis tance from the house, in a well-locked stable. This horse—nay, two of them and an elegant phreton-—I could see i tit tho front gate. At first 1 did not ' recognize tho equipage. But I was impressed to believe there was something wrong. A lark of Button's set, 1 decided to bo, when I at length recognized the earring -. I dro.-se 1 an l sat down by tin window, w atohing tho horses toss til ir heads under the larches, their silver trap pings glittering in tho moonlight. Suddenly Button went walking rap idly down the walk.bearing something iti his arms wrapped in a cloak. It might have been the figure of a corpse for any lift or motion it appeared to have. He sprung into the carriage, placed himself so as to support his burden, gathered up tho reins, and whirled rapidly away. The instant she was gono a horrible suspension broke over me. I sprang up and rushed- do’%n stairs. Tho chamber in which Alltfo slept was li st of the scent of chloroform, tho window tv a s open, and a long glass door load ing directly into tho garden. There was chloroform among tho roses.— Alice was not there ! ts an oath ever escaped my lips it did then. Never thinking to alarm the house. I rushed into tho stable expecting to find tho hostler awake.— But no; the man was sleeping Soundly in his loft —Button’s horse had not been stabled that night,and only my violent beleaguermont brought him down. Bridling tho fleetest and fier cest horse in the stable, I sprang bare back upon him au l tore out upon tho trail. The long road leading over tho hill strectliod white and empty be fore me, but by that way ho must have gono. luy noble black llew after snorting, and striking lire from, the stones. Tho birds wore twittering all along tho way. I noticed that, an l know 1 could not bo lar behind him. Bud donly L hoard tho click of a carriage wheel. The next moment I pulled up for the road diverged; one path lay over a stoop hill, tho other entered tho woods. I was close upon him, l was sure of that; but 1 could not decide whether ho had gono over the hill or entered the woods which looked dark and murderous enough. If I made a mis take ho would'escape me. Just then I heard a woman cry—a woman's piercing shriek. My heart leaped up ; I plunged into tho woods. That was the way. It was narrow and difficult, and I knew he had taken it in hopes to es cape mo. Ho must have heard tho thunder of my liorsos hoofs behind him in tho roa 1. Wo bounded under the boughs. Boon i saw the carriage ahead. It rolled rapidly along, yet swayed heavily on its springs, as if badly driven. I shouted ‘Stop!’ Tho next moment a pistol shot whiz zed by mo. I could'make out tho fig ure of Button standing in tho carriage for a momen:. The next instant it was gono. In my reckless speed the lo ugh of a tree struck me in tho face ; but 1 heeded nothing until 1 was be .-i lo tho phreton. Bult m was not within ; but my darling, till wild and white stretched out her hands to me. My horse, in spite of his speed, was manageable, I galloped eloso to their heads and contrived to stop the flying bays. ‘Where is Sutton ?’ I asked. ‘Ho fell or sprang out; I do not know which. ‘Oh, Lewis, save me from him !’ ‘You have nothing to fear now,’ I answered. ‘My darling, bo bravo 1’ Though lnoinontariiy expecting a ball through my head, L fastened ray horse to the back of the carriage, got in and turned the hea 1- of the horses They wore white with foam, but obeyed tho reign without much ex citement. 1 wrapped Alico mare care fully in a cloak and guided them swil'rly towards home. Suddenly tho bays swerved and scorned to leap over some object in tho road, and instantly'tho carriage passed ever somo obstruction. Alice’s wild j eyes flashed their terror into mine ; a j sickening thought passed over mo. | Homing in the horses I leaped out of . the vehicle, and retraced my way for u | few steps. Something dark lay among ; tho decayed leaves. It was the corpse , of a dea l man—tho dead body of 1 Waites Sutton* lie had been flung from tho car- ! riago.
