And round the world the echoes lloat That printer’s ink is king! A Tale of Rue, BY PENN SHIRLEY. Of all the tired passengers of (he mid-night express hound east ward over the Old Colony road, perhaps there was not one more thorougly used up than John Cole man Esq., of the law firm of Cole' man & Riggs, Ashland, Massachu setts. From the morniDg of No vember Ist., when he had started for Nan Francisco, till the evening of this December the Ist., be had beeu constantly on the wing. To aggravate his fatigue, the trip in a business view had Been highly unsatisfactory, if not unneceesary But as he drew nearer home his scowl vanished and the lines about his firm mouth softened. Stretch - ing his long suffering limbs across the seat, he spread the Evening Journal between his aching eyes and the glare of the bobbing lamps and iudnlged in tender BpeeulU' tioiit,. How would Rue look when lie appeared before her next morn ing, two days earlier than he had promised ? She might be waiers ing her plants in the bay window and he would walk in nonchalant' ly and as if he had left htr the evening before and, say, “good isjrning Rue.” and she would drop her watering pot and rush toward Him all smiles and blushes cryiug, “Oh, John, John ! John I how glad l an- to see you ! how I have mis- you !” Dear warm hearted impulsive Utile Rue. She certaiuly was fond of him. He wished that he had never been such a brute as to re rouch her about Mr. Lynde. He was convinced now that sue had not really cared for the fellow. She had only been cordial with him in her free girlish way. W hat charming, inimitable wavs she had ! The lover’s reverie merged int j a dream. Mr. Coleman was uncon scious of the slacking up ot the train at B , and of the en trance of two young gentleman into the seat in front ; but the name of miss Rue Haywood, spoks en almost in bis eai, aroused him like an electric shoek. “Mr. Lynde is bewitched with tier, that’s plain,” continued tile voice. “He's having a fine time out of Coleman’s absence,” “Pluperfect,” said an answering voice. “They say Miss Rue wouldn’t mind Coleman’s taking himself off for good.’ “Oh, yes; he’s ‘a dig,‘ and all that; but he’- a cro/chety fellow Makes Miss Rue walk Spanish. I hear, Rj the way, how are she and Mr. Lynde comiDg on with the operretta ! I had to cut last rehearsal.” “Famously. Alum Rue’s solo will briDg down the hours. Lynde thinks the entertainment will foot up at least one hundred dollars toward the new orgao. He’s jub ilant I believe that instrumet t comes next to Miss Rue in his af fections. Can’t he get ihe music out of it though 1 Halloo, here’s Ashland!” Wincing beneath his newspaper, Mr Coleman recognized the voices those of two college students re turning from a lecture at B . Forgetful at last of travel-stain, weariness, ami headache he wai/ed till ihe jouths had left the car and then walked out at opposite end, Ins whole engergies engrossed in weighing the evidence so gratui tosly avoided. How far could he OUR OWN SECTION \VE LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. MAY 5 1886. rely on current gossip? What at titude should he assume toward Rue ? Morning found him unde cided. He must be governed by Rue’s own manner. As a test of her f elings toward him he would ask her to withdraw from the oper retta. If she loved him she woild do this cheerfnlly. If she would not do it—Mr. Coleman had not provided for the latter ;cntiugen» cy when Bridget usheted him into Mr. Haywoods parlor Miss Rue and Mr. L.vnde were practicing a duet for tbe operretta, both too rapt to observe the intruder —a fact inexplicable on musical grounds to poor Mr. Coleman who didnot know the notes apart’ or care to know thtin. According to his inference, the voting people were absorbed in each other, and he was ofliu limbo. Unuer these circumatanceß it may not be sti’ang3 that his face, that instant spied by Miss Rue, was not the face of an amiable man. It prompt ly remit) ded Mr. Lynde of a w tit ing pupil and Laving congratulat ed Mr. Coleman on his sSfe teturn he hustled his music under his arm aud departed in has/e. Miss Rue wheeled (lie big easy chair in front of tbe grate, playfuls ly forced her sultan suitor into i'» and perched herself on its arm to hear about bis journey. Had be beeu ill ? No ? Then he must be fearfully tired. She knew his head ached. Shouldn’t she try to mag netize it, and put him to sleep? No, he preferred that she should not. He haJ kept his eyes closed too already. A s well might a zephyr have at tempted to pet ai iceberg. With a shiver Miss Rue slipped from her perch, and seated herself with her work in a neighboring rocker. What had come over John ? She had never seen him like this be fore He did not seem a bit glad to meet her. He turned away from the distracting vision, mens tally preparing his brief—this as tute lawyer, as ignorant of the nature of a girl as an elephant of the structure of a rose. Present' ly he began about the festival. He admitted '.bat Rue had once cor tided to him her irtention of participating in an operretta, but he had supposed and openetta to be something like an oratorion, not a jumble of silly love songs. Did she think it becoming in her self, an engaged young Ldy, to carol amorous ditties from morn ning till night with a tuneful swain. “They pre burlesques, John only burlesques. If I had dream ed of your disapproving l wouldn’t have promised to sing ; but I can’t retract now.” “Not when I particularly re quest i l , Rue t” “Irdeed, no. John. I have the leading part. 1 can’t refuse to act without o ending Mr. Lynde.’’ “On the other hand you can’t persist in acting without offending me,’’ • “Now, John, do be reasonable. How should / feel announcing at the next rehearsal that I must be excused —Mr. Coleman was not willing to have me connected with the operetta ? What would Mr. Lynde flunk!' “Oh. if his opinion has mors weight with you than mine, I will retire.” “John, you’re too absurd. Can’t you see how rediculous it would look for me to throw up my part the moment you come home? People would say you were jealous of Mr. Lyode.” “The jackanapes 1” •And that you were a Blue-beard. John, I’m not sure but they’d be right.” “If I’m a tyrant, Rufelle, you’re tt n amazingly fearlesi Fatima.” “I don’t propose to be your Fa tima.” What did Rue mean by that ? The wrinkle in Mr. Coleman’ B forehead deepened into a trench his brown face flu lied like an oak in October. “Please lay a»ide paradoxes, Rufelle. Do you mean that you do not wish to 1110117 me. Rumor has told me as much.” Iti truth Mis- Rue had meant nothing of the kind, but her level's insulting tone exasperated her in to silence. Had itacome 10 this that she could not wink without first consulting his lordship ? Her blue eyes Hashed ominously the steel hook in her lingers dart ed in and out of crochet ing with a murder rapidty. Rumor has told me as much," repeated Mr. Coleman, as iwpres- B ively as if he had been addressing a jury. “Aud you Jet people tslk about me, John and listen to wlmt they say !” “1 might have knowc that a girl who weald not respect my digni ty could not value my esteem. Tyrant or not, Rufelle, at least I’ve no desire to rivet galling fetters, Henceforth you are free to smile upon Lynde or any other gentle man.” Had he omitted the last sen tence, kindly little Rue could even then have “made up” with John but this was too much for her temper. Snatching the golden circlet from her engagement finger she fluugit at her lover with checks aflame. “Take back your ring,” cried she. The girl who wears it should be a saint or a simpleton, and I’m neither. Cood-bye John. Auburn head erect, chin in the air, she swept out of the room with all the stateliness possible to a slight girl of five feet /wo. She felt hers to be a righteous in dignation. John had no reason; —no earthly reason to treat her so. She would not personate pa tien Griselda for the amusement of the village. “John wants to bend the whole wcrld to his will,” mused she angrily, peeping* hi ough her chain her blind as he stalked away chew' ing his black musiaclie ; “he wants to bend the whole world to his will, and I won’t be bent. Our engagement is broken, and I'm glad of it.” For full fiftees minutes she was unequivocally glad Jobs Coleman thought that he too was glad. Walkinff fiercely on he squared his broad shoulders and iold h'mself that the eugage" meut had been a mistake—an er ror of judgement. A grave self made man of thirty should have been wiser than to trust his happi ness to the keeping of a gay, capricious maiden. Why had he been so dotingly fond of the child so hoodwinked oy her coquetries '■ Blind urivvellingidiod that he was the sooner he wus hurried again in the luw the better. The man’s soul was hot within him. He re viewei his lonely joyous orphan hood, his sharp tussle with the world to wring from it his present competence. Not until the lat'er bad been seented had he allowed himself to think of marrying this bright young beauty, who as a school-girl bad first crptivated his immagina/ion, To have asked Rue Haywood *.o become his wife while he had no adequate means for her support would have been in his opinion dastardly and conempti b!e. No; he had awaited Mie time when he could offer her a name and a position. He had wooed her honorably, and from that day to .his had hardly so much as glanced at any other girl. That he had not wanted to glance at any other girl had no bearing whatever upon the case, yet tbe lawyer's stern eye moistebed as he thought of tbe three mouths of happiness which had beer, bis be fore this brilliant new erganisf ap peared upon the scene with the graces and accomplishments ad mired by ladies, and scorned by himself, matter-of-faci John coleman. From tbe outset he had distrusted the winsome gals lam’s influence over Rue, witn what reason the sequel had proved. That night Mi'. Coleman had a chill—no metaphorical heart ague, but a genuine physical, bone shak ing rigor that demanded blankets md hot bricks and a heroic dose of quinine. “He’s caught malaria from some of those confounded bog holes,” said tte d ctor aside to /he land lord “Unless we break it up, he's in for a fever. See that he has a good nurse, i’ll be round in the morning.” Tue land'ord himself sat up witn the patient, and a busy night be had till daybreak, when Mr. j Coleipen sankin/o a drowse. The weary watcher improved ibis op portunity to steal away for a nap and sent his eon to lake his place by the bedside. After an hour's sleep the sick man awoke refreshes the ringing in his ears greater, but the tlnobhing cf his temples less the pain iu his limbs no longtr ub sobriety unbearable. “//eigho! that you, Horry?” lie said, catching sight of the boy munching an apple for entertain-, ment. “tVhere were you when I came home las/ ni»ht? I didn’t see you. ” “At St. Mark s, sir, blowing the organ. Mr. Lynde has hired me for the quarter.” “Oh, he has. has he?” Mr. Cole man turned over in bed, and scowl ed at the smoky lamp chimney, Soon he flopped back again. “I >o you like this Lynde fellow, Har ry?” “Tip-top; everybody does.” Mr. Coleman groaned. “Is the pain coming on again sir? Can Ido anything for you?” “Nothing, thank you, my boy; I’m pretty essentially done for. I’d like to hear you talk, though Tell iue what’s happened while I’ve been away. What’s /his Lynde oeen up to?” “Oh, he’s been flying round, you’d better believe." “Been doing a stiff business, I suppose driving out with .lie la dais?” “lie’s beeudiiving out with Miss Haywood some. I haven’t seen him with anybody else.” The invalid suppressed another groan. “They’ve been looking at dishes ami curtains and things.” Mr. Coleman rose savagely upon his elbow. This was ten thousand times worse than he had dreamed “The story I've heard, then, is true, Harry: Mr. Lynde is going to be married.” “Why, how did you know, Mr. Coleman? He said it was a secret He let me go all over his house yesterday—he’s hired Lunt’s co - tage, corner of Vine street -and things shine, I tell yoi. You just ough/ io see those carpets. Miss Hay wool helped him pick ’em out, I’he other woman don't suspect a thing. “What other woman? ’ “Why, the woman Mr. Lynde is going to marry. She thinks alter the wedding on Christmas she’s coming wi/n Mr. Lynde to his hoarding house; but instead of ihat sir, he’s going to felch her right home to th’s bully cottage. I'll bet she’ll be surpiised.” Mr, Coleman dropped back up on the pillow with an expression a Raphael might havo despaired of reproducing. He Jay /here a few minutes reflectio, then sat boltsup right, his towel-girt head in bold relief against the mahogany heud bord. “Blow out the lamp, Harry, please, draw up the curtaiDs, and hand me nty writing-desk there on the table. Pile give you a dol lar if vou’ll CErry a message to Miss Haygood for. me this morn ing. • “Bless my soul, (Jo'eman, you’re as tough as a pine knot!” exclaim ed the doctor, bolting in as his patient sealed ihe no/e. ‘You bad ague enough last night io shake a seusi/ive mortal into the grave, and here you’re up and at tending to business. Let’s fee your pulse. Rapid yet, but softer h you’re prudont you’ll be out in a few days. ” Hurry rushed off on his errand and delivered Mr, Coleman’s billet into the hands of Miss Rue her self, who in his private opinion looked very sober and red-eyed. “Dear Rus” (thus ran the iais tive) —“I’ve been having a very bad chill, one of the bona tide east anet order. I hope you’ll do me the favor to believe it was coming or. at your house. If I raved furi ously and bcheaved worse than a savage, as I know 1 did, do for give me, dear.

WILSON, Jn , Publisher Rue, siippii.g the cherished ring back upon her finger. “But I hope he isn't going to oe subject to these chills,” she added, with a doleful look. “I do hope he isn’t, for the sake of both of us.” WAS AFRAID HE’D STOP A young woman was suing her ex-sweetheart for breach of promise, ami the lawyers were, as usual, making all sorts of innquis itive interrogatories. “You Hay,” remaiked one, "(hat /he defendant frequently sat dose to you ?” 4 “Yes, sir," was the reply, with a hectic blnali. “How close ?” Close enough so’s one cheer was all the si/tin’ room we noed ed.” “And yon say lie pu/ hi* ftrm around you ?” “No 1 didn’t.” “What did you say, then ?" “I said no put both arm j around me." “l’hen what ?” “He hugged me.” “Very hard ?’’ • lea he did. So hard that 1 came purty near hollerio' lieht out.” “Why didn’t you holler ?” “’Causa." “That’s no reason. Be exp/ic it, please. “Cause what ?" “Cause I (eared he'd stop." The court fell off the bench and had to be earned out uml put under the hydrant for the purpose of resueiration.
