(Writtten for the Mi:s.m..\uui.]' 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 s lit of the accident. lieuAVihie’s Advice to his Son. ‘Ben Wilde, Hie funny mao ol the Aurora News, is | tihlishing a seiies of articles addressed to hit "Three year old Son.” Hero are some of I hem: ‘ My boy, don’t try to bo like ev erybody else.
