AN ACCIDENT AMD ITS RE"
SUIT.
hV n. it. ct.Kicn.
William Graham was a merchant
doing a moderate business in the
town of M .
He had married Kate Barnes
and they were living as happily as
it is possible for people to live in
this world. He idolized his wife,
and she returned his love as only
a true woman can .do. But this
happiness was not to continue. Be
fore they had been married a year,
Kate’s health began to fail and
when their little boy, Charley, was
horn, the young mother’s life Went
out, leaving the father to mourn
over liis great loss.
After the death of Ids wife, Mr.
Graham did not seem to take any
interest in his business affairs. He
scarcely ever went down to hie.
store, but remained at home, his
whole soul seemingly wrapped up
in his boy.
Thus matters stood at the end of
three years after his wife’s death.
Ilis friends would frequently
urge him to arouse himself and
get him another good woman for a
wife, but he would never giye them
any satisfaction, on the subject of
a second marriage. ‘No, no,’ he
would say, ‘I am afraid I could
never love another woman as I
loved, my Katy.’
At the urgent request of Dr. Car
ter, one fine morning in the month
cf June, Mr. Graham took little
Charlie with him in his buggy and
drove out into the country.
About two miles from town lived
Mrs. Hemphill, a young ar.d hand
some widow, whose husband had
been dead about three years, I6ln
owned a good farm and was sur
rounded with everything necessary
to make life pleasant.
Just as Mr.. Graham was passing
her house, some hogs which were
lying by the fei.ee, sprang up ant:
frightened the horse so that lie
gave a sodden leap to one side,
throwing the occupants” of the
buggy out on the road. Mr. Gra
ham's head struck against a stone,
and he lay aa if he was killed, hut
the little hoy was not hurt.
Mrs. Hemphill saw the horse, as
lie dashed down the road, but did
not see the two persons thrown
from the buggy. Knowing that
some accident hid happened, she
hastened to the road and there she
saw Mr. Graham lying apparently
lifeless, and little Charley tugging
at him, trying to get him up.
The widow was terror-stricken,
but had presence of mindsufficient
to etili some hired men who were
near by. Some laborers, who were
working in a field near the road
had caught the frightened horse tin (I
brought him hack. And, as luck
would have it, I)r. Carter, who was
on his way to visit a patient in the
country, eamo along just at this
tim".
Without stopping to ask any
questions he proceeded at once to
examine the wounded man, and
found that the skull was -lightly
fractured. He applied the proper
restore "ives, and after a few minutes
the injured man opened his eyes.
A deep groan escaped his lips, and
he closed Bis eyes again.
‘Doctor, do you think there is
any hope of his recovery?’ asked
the widow.
•Olt, yes, I think so, hut we must
carry him into the house, and I
shall appoint yon his nurse.’
After the man was placed inn
comfortable bed and bis wound
dressed, the doctor took his leave,
promising to call on bis return from
visiting bis patient.
Mr. Graham remained in uncon
sciousness all day, and talked of
Ins departed wife and how he loved
her.
Mr*. Hemphill remained by his
bedside, applying a v;et cloth lo
bis head. Late in the afternoon
the Doctor called.
Sirs. Hemphill met him at the
door.
‘How is our patient by this time?’
‘I can’t see that be is any better.
He lias been raving a!! day, and
talking about bis dear Katy.’
‘I will go in and see him.”
Tin doctor went to the room oc
cupied by the wounded man, and
LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1881.
found him still unconscious. The
widow followed him, and noticed
that the old Doctor looked a little
puzzhd.
AY hat do you think of him non?’
she asked.
'I think he will come around all
eight.’
‘Will you l o so kind ns to remain
with him during the night?'
‘lt will he out of my power to do
«o, but I will call early in the
teeming,’ and he departed,
Mrs. Hemphill had to look after
, cr domestic affairs and was absent
from the sick room perhaps a hall
hour.
When she roturne i Mr. Graham
was lying calmly with his eyes open
As she entered lie turned his eyes
toward her ai d said:
‘Why, Nelly, you here?’
‘Yes, 1 am here what can Ido
for you?’
‘Tell me, Nelly, where am I, and
what has happened to me. Have
1 been ill?’
‘You are at my house. No, you
have n t been ill exactly, but — ’
‘But what, Nelly? O, yes, I re
member. I was thrown from my
buggy this morning. O! where is
Charley ? Was he killed?’
‘No, l am glad to say that little
Charley was not hurt, hut is now
in another room asleep, but it was
yesterday morning that you was
thrown from your buggy; hut you
must not talk too much until you
are stronger'.’ She left the room
and went to look after some busi
ness affairs. While she was out,
Dr. Carter came in and with his
usual freedom of manner, entered
Mr. Graham's room unannounced.
His patient was sitting on a chair.
‘Well, sir, you are up, are you;
but who could remain sick where
they have such a nurse as Nelly
Hemphill? Hon do you feel tins
morning, old fellow?’
‘Oh, I am about well enough to
go home i think. Don’t you think
so?’
‘Well, ns to going home, I don’t
see whv you should be in Si great
a hurry to leave u place where you
have been so kindly cared for as
you have here.’
‘Because I don’t wish to be n
burden on the hands of any one.
Mrs. Hemphill lias told me that I
have been here since yesterday
morning, and I think that it is
long enongh for a lone widow to be
troubled with any man.’
‘ 1 O, well, then, she has had a talk
with you. Did you tell her you
wanted to he gone?’
‘No, I did not tell her that.’
‘No, and the next time you have
a conversation with her you won’t
tell her so.’ •
And there was a mischievous
twinkle in the old physician’s
eye.
‘Dr. Carter, what do you mean?’
‘Oh, nothing in particular, hut I
must he going now. I will call
again,” and lie took up his casket
of medicines and le!t.
Mr. Graham sat as in deep thought
for a long time. What he was
thinking about,"dear leader, we
leave you to draw your own con
clusions.
Mrs. Hemphill came in and found
her patient sitting up. He bade
her come in as soon as he saw her
at the door of his mom.
'I am so glut! to see you no much
better this morning,’ she said, tak
ing a seat near him.
‘I do not. know how I will ever
he nhle to repay your kindness to
rue, Nelly.’
‘I am amply rewarded by seeing
you doing so well, for when I saw
you lying in the road the other
day, I firmly believed you dead:
hut I must not fatigue you with
so much talk,’ and she left the
room.
Was she afraid of fatiguing him
with her talk, or was there a beat
ing nf the heart that she could not
control?
Mr, Graham remained in his
room perhaps an hour, and Nelly
did not return. So he concluded
to walk out on the front piazza. As
lie was passing Mrs. Hemphill's
room he heard little Chnriicsaying:
•I don 't went to go I aek to town;
I want to stay here with you.’
"Why, Charley, you surely don't
want to stay hero and leave papa
to go hack to town alone. He
couldn’t live without his little boy.’ i
‘No, I don’t want papa to go
] back, m iver. 1 want him to stay
here too, an’ I want you to bo my
mamma.’
To this she could make no rt ply.
She did not know that there was
another listener la sides herself to
j this childish prattle, Mr. Graham,
however, had gone out before tin
j widow came out of the room.
When she saw her patient, or
ratiier her guest, out doors, she ex
claimed:
‘Well, well, you out here! Ilmv
did you dare to leave your room
without my permission?’
The truth is, Nelly, 1 waited a
long time for you to come, and you
did not do so, and I just come out
to get a view of the flowers and to
inhale the fresh air.’
‘Well, I suppose I will have to
i forgive you this time.’
‘Nelly, come sit down here by
me, I want to talk with you a little
while.’
‘Dave you not been talking to
I me for the last ten minutes, more
! or less?’ but she took the seat by
| him, nevertheless.
‘I suppose you do not know that
i I heard you and Charlie talking as
I came out of the room.
’O' were you eavesdropping us.
1 thought you were better brul
than that. But did you really hear
what little'C'harley said?’
‘lndeed I did, but I hope you
will forgive me the rudeness; I
could uut help it.’
‘Well, sir. I have just forgiven
you one offense; and I suppose 1
will have lo forgive this one, but 1
|am sorry you heard.our talk.’
T am not sorry that I heard it,
but I wanted to talk seriously, and
you seem to hold me off liy jesting
‘I suppose you want to know
what my charge is fur taking care
jof you and the little boy for tivo
!or three days, is that it?”
‘No, not exactly that, hut I want
! you to agree to take care ol me and
Charley through the balance of
our lives. Now do you under
stand me?’
‘Really, Mr. Graham, you are
jesting instead of me.’
‘No, Nelly, 1 am not jesting, but
mean just what I say. Will you
be my wife?’
Mrs. Hemphill looked the speak
er fu.l in the face. There was no
mistaking the meaning.
She did not reply immediately
and Mr. Graham said:
‘Please don't keep tne in sus
pense, but let me know my doom
at once. You have knowr me nil
my life, you knew my Kate. You
know that I loved her with all my
heart, hut she was taken from me,
and 1 know of no oilier woman in
! all the world who would fill the
place in my heart tßut she occu
pied, except you.’
‘There is one tiling that perhaps
you in.ve not thought about W: o
] ever becomes your wife will be lit
[ tie Charlie's step-mother, and it is
I said that very few women make
good step-mothers. Have you
j thought of the evil consequences
that might follow in regard to that
point.?’
‘I have thought of all that, and
I only love you the better for men
tioning the subject yourself. J am
quite sure there is no cause for fear
on that ground.’
‘But you have often said that
you did not think that you could
ever love another woman as well as
you loved K sty.’
‘I know I have said that, but I
now think I was mistaken. Al
though I expe ct to continue to love
the memory of my Katy, yet 1 fed
that there is room in my heart fur
j another, hut if you refuse me I
] shall never mention (lie subject to
another woman while 1 live.’
‘Suppose I were to tell you that
I am already engaged, what then ?
Would you think it right fur me *o
' break my engagement to marry
| you ?’
Mr. Graham rose to Ins feet.
‘My God, is it possible that you
j are already engaged. Ol why did
! I not think of that before. But,
Nelly; will you tell me who is the
fortunate man that is to claim you
; for his own ?’
I ‘Don’t become excited, Mr. Gru
! ham; I did not say that I teas en
gaged, but only supposed that I
I were.’
I ‘Tell me truly, Nelly, are you en
gaged ?'
'No sir, I am not, but 1 am about ]
lo be. W'liat was it you uslud me J
awhile ago.’
’1 asked you if you were engag
ed.’
‘No, that’s not it. I think you
asked me something else. W hat is
it.’
I don’t remember asking you
anything else. \es, I linked you
who the fortunate man was; yes 1
did ask you that, and you did not
tell me.’
But l think you asked me some
thing vise yet.’
‘Nelly, you are teasing me. Now
tell me plainly, will you be my
wife ?,
O, yes, that is what you asked
me awhile ago. 1 answer, I will.
Does that satisfy you, sir?’
‘Nut quite. ’ And he drew her to
him, and imprinted a kiss on her
glowing cheek.
While they were so earnestly en
gaged in the fureg-ing conversation,
they did not notice that a man had
entered the yard and was standing
near enough to hear all th.it was
said, hut after the contract was seal
ed with the kiss, old Doctor Carter
| bounded up the steps and stood be
fore Uni lovers.
‘Why, Doctor did you drop down
from the clouds? We (lid not know
j that you were anywhere near us.’
‘No, I suppose not, and I am glad
you did not know it, for then 1
would net have heard wliat I did.
and I would not have missed it for
anything.’
•Well, then if you heard it all, it
is not necessary fur us to ti ll you,
hut we don’t care if you did bear
our talk; we have nothing to take
back, have we Nelly ?’ said Mr.
Graham.
A few weeks after this there was
a quiet u'edding at the widow
Hemphill’s and that \va3 the re
