, IN LUCK AT LAST.
*
BY WALTER BESANT.
Anybodylwill understand that Iris could
not possibly giv> her own experience in love
matters, nor could she plunge into specu
lative philosophy of this kind with her pu
pil. Obviously the thing must come to an
end. Therefore she wrote a letteF to him,
telling him that “I. A.” would meet him, if
he pleased, that very evening at the hour of
eight.
It is by this time sufficiently understood
that Iris Aglen professed to teach—it is an
unusual combination mathematics and
heraldry; she might also have taught
equally well, had she chosen, sweetness of
disposition, goodness of heart, the benefits
conferred by pure and lofty thoughts on the
expression of a girl’s face, and the way tc
acquire all the other gracious, maidenly
virtues; but either there is too limited a
market for these branches of culture, or—
which is perhaps the truer reason—there are
so many English girls, not to speak of
Americans, who are competent to teach
them, and do teach them to their brothers
and their lovers, and to each other, and to
their younger sisters all day long.
As for her heraldry, it was natural that
she should acquire that science, because her
grandfather knew as much as any pursui
vant or king-at-arms, and thought that by
teaching the child a science which is nowa
days cultivated by so few he was going to
make her fortune. Besides, ever mindful of
the secret packet, ne thought that an heiress
ought to understand heraldry. It was, in
deed, as you shall see, in this way that her
fortune was made; but yet not quite in the
way he proposed to make it Nobody ever
makes a fortune quite in the way at first in
tended for him.
As for her mathematics, it is no wonder
that she was good in this science, because
she was a pupil of Lala Roy.
This learned Bengalee condescended tc '
acknowledge the study of mathematics as
worthy even of the Indian intellect, and
amused himself with them when he was not
more usefully engaged in chess. He it was
who, being a lodger in the house, taught Iris
almost as soon as she could read how letters
placed side by side may be made to signify
a id to ac •cmplish stupendous things, and
hew they may disguise the most graceful
ard beautiful curves, and how they may
even open away into boundless space, ami
there disclose marvels. This wondrous
world did the philosopher open to the ready
and quick-witted girl; nor did he ever lead
her to believe that it was at all an unusual
or an extraordinary thing for a girl to be
so quick and apt for science as herself, noi
did he tell her that if she went to Newnhair
or to Girton extraordinary glories would
await her, with the acclamations of the
multitude in the Senate House and the
praise of the moderators. Iris, therefore,
was not proud of her mathematics, w hich
seemed part of her very nature. But of her
heraldry she was, 1 fear, extremely proud
proud even to sinfulness. No doubt this
was the reason why, through her her
aldry. the humiliation of this evening fell
upon her.
“If he is young,” she thought, “if he is
young—an I he is sure to be young—he will
bo very angry at having opened his mini to
a girl”—it will be perceived that, although
she knew so much mathematics, she was
really very ignorant of the opposite sex,
not to know ‘hat a young man likes nothing
so much as the opening of his mini to a
young lady. “If he is old he will be more
humiliated still”—as if any man at any age
was ever humiliated by confessing himself
to a woman. “If he is a pro id man, lie
will never forgive me. Indeed, lam sur
that he can never forgive me, whatevei
kind of man he is. But I can do no more
than tell him lam sorry. If he will not
forgive me then, what more can I say? Ob,
if he should be vindictive!"
When the clock began to strike the bo ir
of 8, Iris lighted her candles, and before the
pulsation of the last stroke had died away
she heard the ringing of the house-bell.
The door was opened by her grandfather
himself, and she heard his voice.
“Yes,” ho said, “you will find your tutor
in the first floor front, alone. If you are in
clined to be vindictive, when you hear all,
please ring the bell for me. ”
The visitor mounted the stairs, and Iris,
hearing his step, began to tremble and to
shake for fear.
When the door opened she did not at first
look up. But she knew that her pupil wa
there, and that he was looking for his tutor.
“Pardon me”—the voice was not unpleas
ant —“pardon me. I was directed to this
room. I have an appointment with my
tutor.”
“If,” said Iris, rising, for the time for
confession had at length arrived, “if you
are Mr. Arnold Arbuthnot, your appoint
ment is, I believe, with me.”
“It is with my tutor,” he said.
“I am your tutor. My initials are I. A.”
A
/(I IM
'•I am your tutor. My initials are I. A.’
The room was only lighted by two candles,
but they showed him the hanging head and
form of a woman, and he thought she looked
young, judging by the outline. Her voice
was sweet and clear.
‘ ‘My tutor i You!”
“If you really are Mr. Arnold Arbuthnot,
the gentleman who has corresponded with I.
A. for the last two years on heraldry, and—
an I other things, I am your tutor.”
She had made the dreaded confession. The
rest would be easy. She even ventured to
raise her eyes, and she perceived, with a
sinking of the heart, that her estimate of
her pupil’s age was tolerably correct. He
was a young man, apparently not more than
five or six and twenty.
It now remained to be seen if he was vin
dictive.
As for the pupil, when he recovered a
little from th blow of this announcement j
he saw before him a girl, quite youngs j
l dressed in a simple gray or drab colored
stuff, which I have reason. to believe is
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, SUNDAY, JANUARY IS, 1885.
called Carmelite. The dress had a crimson
kerchief arranged in folds over the front
and a lace collar, an I at first sight it made
the beholder feel that, considered mer dy as
a setting of face and figure, it was remark
ably effective. Surely this is the true end
and aim of all feminine adorn nuu , apart
from the elementary object of kee; .ng one
war in.
“I—l did not know,” the young m .11 “ i
after a pause, “I did not know at il teat I
was corresponding with a la ly."
H> re she raised hi rey ag in. an '. bo ol>
served that her eyes ' ore very 1 .rgi and
full of light—“eyes Hits the fidipuols of
Heshbon”—dove’s eyes.
“I am very sorry,” she sail, meekly. “It
was my fault.”
He observed other thin ;s now, having re
gained the use of his senses. Thus be saw
that she wore her hair, which wr.s of a
wonderful chestnut-brown color, parted at
the side like a boy’s, and that she had not
committed the horrible enormity of cutting
it short. He observed, too, that while her
lips were quivering and her cheek was
blushing her look was stead.ast Are dove’s
eyes, he asked himsel ', always steadfast?
“I ought to have told you long ago, when
you began to write about—al out yourself
and other things, when 1 understoo 1 that
you thought I was a man—oh, long ago I
ought to have told you the truth!”
“It is said the young man,
“it is truly wonderful!” He was thinking
of the letters—long letters, full of sympathy,
and a curious unworldly wisdom, which she
j had sent him in reply to his own, and he
was comparing them with her youthful
face, as one involuntarily compares a poet’s
appearance with his poetry—'generally a
disappointing thing to do, and always a
foolish thing.
“I am very sorry," she repeated.
“Have you many pupils like myself !”
“I have several pupils in mathematics.
It does not matter to them whether they are
taught by a man or a woman. In heraldry
I had only one—you.”
He looked round the room. One end was
occupied by shelves, filled with books; in one
of the windows was a table, covered with
papers and adorned with a type-writer, by
means of which Iris carried on her corres
pondence. For a moment the unworthy
thought crosse 1 his mind that he had been,
perhaps, artfully lured on by a Siren for his
destruction. Only for a moment, however,
because she raised her face and met his gaze
again, with eyes so frank and innocent that
he could not doubt them. Besides, there
was the clear outline of her face, so truthful
and so honest. The young men was an
artist, and therefore believed in outline.
Could any sane and intelligent creaturs
doubt those curves of cheek and chint
“I have put together,” she said, “all you:
letters for you. Here they are. Will you
please take them back! I must not keep
them any longer.” He took them and bowed.
“I made this appointment, as you desired,
to tell you the truth, because I have deceived
you too long, and to beg you to forgive me:
and to say that, of course, there is an end to
our correspondence.”
“Thank you. It shall be as you desire.
Exactly,” he repeated, “as you desire.”
He ought to have gone at once. There
was notiiing more to say. Yet he lingered,
holding the letters in his hand.
“To write these letters,” he said, “has
been for a long time one of my greatest
pleasures, partly because I felt that I was
writing to a friend, and so wrote in full
trust and confidence, partly because they
procured me a reply.—in the shape of your
letters. Must I take back these letters of
mine?”
She made no answer.
“It is hard, is it not, to lose a friend so
slowly acquired, thus suddenly and unex
pectedly?”
“Yes,” she said, “it is hard. lam very
sorry. It was my fault.”
“Perhaps 1 have said something, in my
ignorance—something which ought not to
have been said or written—something care
less—something which has lowered me in
your esteem ”
“Oh, no—no!” said Iris quickly. “You
i have never said anything that a gentleman
j should not have said."
“And if you yourself found any pleasure
in answering my letters ”
“Yes,” said Iris with frankness, “it gave
me great pleasure to read and to answer
your li'tte.s as wall as I could.”
“I have not brought back your letters. I
hope you will allow me to keep them. And,
if you will, why should we not continue our
correspondence as before?”
But he did not ask the question confi
dently.
“No,” said Iris decidedly; “it can never
be continued as before. How could it, when
once we have met and you have learned the
truth!”
“Then,” he continued, “if we cannot write
to each Other any more, can we not talk!”
Sue ou lit to have informed him on the
spot that the thing was quite impossible, and
not to be thought of for one moment. She
should have said coldly, but firmly—every
right-minded an 1 well-behaved girl would
have said, “Sir, it is not right that you
should come alone to a young lady’s study.
Such things are ixot to be permitted. If we
meet in society, we may, perhaps, renew our
acquaintance.”
But girls do go on sometimes as if there
was no such thing as propriety at all, and
such cases are said to be growing more fre
quent. Besides, Iris was not a girl who was
conversant wsth social convenances. She
1 oked at her pupil thoughtfully and frankly.
“Can we!” she asked. She who hesitates
is lost —a maxim which cannot be too often
read, said and studied. It is one of the very
few golden rules omitted from Solomon’s
Proverbs. “Can we? It would be pleasant.”
“If you will permit me,” he blushed and
stammered, wondering at her ready acqui
escence; “if you will permit me to call upon
you sometimes —here, if you will allow me.
or anywhere else. You know my name. 1
am by profession an artist, and I have a
stu lio close at hand in Tite street."
“To call upon me here !” she repeated.
Now, when one is a tutor and has been
i reading with a pupil for two years one re
gards that pupil with a feeling which may
not be exactly parental, but which is uncon
ventional. If Arnold had said, “Behold
me! May I, being a young man, call upon
you, a young woman ?” she would have re
plied: “No, young man, that can never be.”
But when he said, “May I, your pupil, call
sometimes upon you, my tutor !” a distinc
tion was at once established by which the
impossible became possible.
“Yes,” she said, “I think you may calL
My grandfather has his tea with me every
evening at six. Yeu may call then if it will
give you any pleasure. ”
“You really will let me come here !”
The young man looked as if the permis
sion was likely to give him the greatest
pleasure.
“Yes; if you wish it.”
She spoke just exactly like an Oxford Don
giving an undergraduate permission to take
an occasional walk with him, or to call for
I conversation and advice at certain times in
i his rooms. Arnold noticed the manner, and
. smiled.
“Still,” he said, “as your pupil?”
He meant to set her at her ease concerning
the propriety of these visits. She thought
he m»'ant a continuation of a certain little
arrangement as to fees, and blushed.
“No,” she said; “I must not consider you
as a punil any longer. You have put an end
to i hat yourself.”
“I d > not mind, if only I continue your
fritnl.”
“Oh,” she said, “but we must not pledge
ourselves rashly to friendship. Perhaps you
will n> t like me when you once come to
know me.”
“Tnen I remain your disciple.”
“Oh. no,” she flushed again, “you must
already think me presumptuous enough in
presuming to give you advice. I have
written so many foolish things ”
“Indee I. no,” he interrupted; “a thousand
times no. Let me tell you once for all, if I
may, that you have taught me a great
deal—far more than you can ever under
stand, or than 1 cm explain. Where did
you get your wisdom? Not from the Book
of Human Life. Os that you cannot know
much as yet.”
•‘The wisdom is in your imagination, I
think. You shall not be my pupil, nor my
disciple, but—well—because you have told
me so much, and I seem to have known you
so long, and besides, because you must never
feel asliamed of having told me so much,
you shall come, if you please, as my
brother.”
It was not till afterwards that she reflected
on the vast responsibilities she incurred in
making this proposal, and on the eagerness
with which her pupil accepted it.
“As your brother?” he cried, offering her
his hand. “Why, it is far—far more than I
could have ventured to hope. Yes, I will
come as your brother. And now, although
you know so much about me, you have told
me nothing about yourself—not even your
name.”
“My name is Iris Aglen.”
“Iris! It is a pretty name.”
“It was, I believe, my grandmother’s.
But I never saw her, and 1 do not know
who or what my father’s relatives are.”
“Iris Aglen!” he repeated. “Iris was the
Herald of the Gods, and the rainbow was
constructed on purpose to serve her for a
way from heaven to the earth.”
“Mathematicians do not allow that,” said
the girl, smiling.
“I don’t know any mathematics. But
now I understand in what school you
learned your heraldry. You are Queen-at-
Arms, at least, and Herald to the Gods of
Olympus. ”
He wished to add something about thp
loveliness of Aphrodite and the wisdom of
Athene, but he refrained, which was in good
taste.
“Thank you, Mr. Arbuthnot,” Iris re
plied. “I learned my heraldry of my grand
father, who taught himself from the books
he sells. And my mathematics I learned of
Lala Roy, who is our lodger, and a learned
Hindoo gentleman. My father is dead—
and my mother as well—and I have nc
friends in the world except these tw’o old
tnen, who love me and have done their best
to spoil me.”
Her eyes grew humid and her voice trem
bled.
No other friends in the world! Strange
to say, this young man felt a little sense oi
relief. No other friends. He ought to
have sympathized with the girl’s loneliness;
he might have asked her how she could pos
sibly endure life without companionship, but
he did not; he only felt that other friends
might have been rough and ill-bred; this
girl derived her refinement, not only from
nature, bu s also from separation from the
other girls who might in the ordinary course
have been her friends and associates. And
if no other friends, then no lover. Arnold
was only going to visit the young lady as
her brother; but lovers do not generally ap
prove the introduction of such novel effects
as that caused by the appearance of a
brand-new and previously unsuspected bro
ther. He was glad, on the whole, that
there was no lover.
Then he left her and went home to his
studio.Jwhere he sat till midnight sketching
a thousand heads one after the other with
rapid pencil. They were all girls’ heads,
and they all had hair parted on the left side
with a broad, square forehead, full eyes,
and straight, clear-cut features.
“No,” he said, “it is no good. I cannot
catch the curve of her mouth—nobody could.
What a pretty girl! And lamto be her
brother! What will Clara say? And how—
oh, how in the world can she be, all at the
same time, so young, so pretty, so learned,
so quick, so sympathetic and so wise?”

SCROFULA CURED.
Dr. L. A. Guild, Atlanta, says: B. B. B.

ANOTHER CASE.
East Point, Ga., April 2,1884.
My wife has been afflicted with a terrible
form of Scrofula for over fifteen years. Phy
sicians exhausted their skill, and numerous
patent medicines were used without benefit.
Her condition grew worse—her appetite failed,
attended witli debility, emaciation, falling
out of the hair and a frightful breaking out of
the skin. Her bones became v.ery much dis
eased and painful (some calling it white swell
ing), with sleepless nights and a general feel
ing of horror. Some friends said that B. B B.
would cure her. I procured it and placed her
upon its use, and to the utter astonishment of
all who knew her, the recovery was rapid and
complete. It acted as a powerful tonic, gave
her a splendid appetite and acted upon the
kidneys. A few bottles did the work. The
action of B. B. B. was decidedly quick, and
the medicine cost but little. I advise my
friends to use it as a blood purifier.
Yours truly, R. M. LAWSON.
