IN LUCK AT LAST.
BY WALTER BESAI.T.
CHAPTER IX
DR. WASHINGTON.
Arnold returned to his studio, sat down
and fell fast asleep.
He was awakened about noon by his
cousin Clara.
“Oh, Arnold,” she cried, shaking him
wrathfully by the arm,” this is a moment of
the greatest excitement and importance to
me, and you are ray only adviser, and you
are asleep I”
| |iHe sprang to his feet
“I am awake now, Clara." Anxiety and
trouble! On account of our talk yester
day?”
* He saw that she had been crying. In her
hands she had a packet of letters.
"Oh, no, no; it is far more important than
that. As for our talk ”
“I am engaged to her, Clara.”
"So I expected,” she replied coldly. “But
I am not come here about your engagement.
And you do not # want my congratulations, I
suppose?”
“I should like to have your good wishes,
Clara.”
“Oh, Arnold, that is what my poor Claude
said when he deserted mo and married the
governess. You men want to have your
own way, and then expect us to be delighted
with it.”
“I expect nothing, Clara. Pray under
stand that.”
“I told Claude, when he wrote asking for
giveness, that he had my good wishes,
whatever he chose to do, but that I would
not on any account receive his wife. Very
well, Arnold; that is exactly what I say to
you."
“Very well, Clara. I quite understand.
As for the studio, and all the things that
you have given me, they are, of course,
yours again. Let me restore what I can to
you."
“No, Arnold, they are yours. Let me hear
no more about things that are your own.
Os course, your business, as you call it. is
exciting. But as for this other thing, it is
far more important Something has hap
pened; something I always expected; some
thing that I looked forward to for years;
although it has waited on the way so long,
it has actually come at last, when I had
almost forgotten to look for it. So true it
is, Arnold, tiiat good fortune and misfortune
alike come when we least expect them.”
Arnold sat down. He knew his cousin too
well to interrupt her. She had her own way
of telling a story, and it was a roundabout
way.
I cannot complain, after twenty years,
can I? I have had plenty of rope, as you
would say. But still, it has come at last.
And naturally, when it does come, it is a
shock.”
“Is it hereditary gout, Clara?”
“Gout! Nonsense, Arnold. When the will
was read, I said to myself, ‘Claude is certain
, to come back and claim his own. It is his
right, and I hope he will come. But for my
own part, I have not the least intention of
calling upon the governess.’ Then three or
four years passed away, and I heard—l do
not remember how—that he was dead. And
then I waited for his heirs, his children, or
their guardsans. But they did not come.”
“And now they have really come? Oh,
Clara, this is indeed a misfortune.”
“No, Arnold; call it a restitution, not a
misfortune. I have been living all these
years on the money which belongs to
Claude’s heir.”
“There was a son, then. And now he has
dropped upon us from the clouds?"
“It is a daughter, not a son. But you
shall hear. I received a letter this morning
from a person called Dr. Joseph Washing
ton, stating that he wrote to me on account
of the only child and heiress of the late
Claude Deseret”
““Who is Dr. Joseph Washington?"
“He is a physician, he says, and an Amer
ican.”
“Yes; will you go on?”

“That face on your canvas has won
derfully like his.”
“I do not mind it, Arnold; I really do not
I must give up my house and put down my
carriage, but it is for Claude’s daughter. I
rejoice to think tiiat he has left some one
behind him. Arnold, that face upon your
canvas really has get eyes wonderfully like
his, if it was not a mere fancy, when I saw
it yesterday. lam glad, I say, to give up
everything to the child of Claude.”
“You think so kindly of him, Clara, who
inflicted so much pain on you.”
‘Acan never think bitterly of Claude. We
were brought up together; we were like
brother and‘sister; he never loved me in any
other way. Oh, I understood it all years
ago. To begin with, I was never beautiful;
and it was his father’s mistake. Well, this
American followed up his letter by a visit.
In the letter he merely said he had come to
London with the heiress. But he called an
hour ago and brought me—oh, Arnold, he
brought me one more letter from Claudo. It
has been waiting for me for eighteen years.
After all that time, after eighteen years, my
poor dead Claude speaks to me again. My
dear when I thought he was miserable on
account of his marriage I was wrong. His
wife made him happy, and he died because
she died.” The tears camo into her eyes
again. “Poor boy! Poor Claude! The letter
speaks of his child. It says—” Sb s opened
and read the letter. “He says: ‘Someday
my child will, I hope, come to you and say;
•‘Cousin Clara, I am Iris Deseret,""
“Iris.” said Arnold.
‘j„ is her name, Arnold. It was the
d’s grandmother’s name.”
Ast range coincidence,” he said. “Pray
• ‘ i will say: “Cousin Clara, lam Iris
er-t” Then you will be kind to her, as
•v.mld to me, if I were to come home „
I cannot read any more, my dear,
to you.” _
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1885.
“Did this American give you any other
proof of what he asserts?"
“He gave mo a portrait of Claudo, taken
years ago, when he was a boy of sixteen,
and shewed me the certificate of marriage,
and child’s certificate of baptism, and letters
from his wife. 1 suppose nothing more can
be wanted.”
“I dare say it is all right, Clara. But why
was not the child brought over before!"
"Because this is the really romantic
part of the story—when her father died,
leaving the child, she was adopted by
these charitable Americans, and no ono
ever thought of examining the papers,
which were lying in a desk, until the other
day.”
“You nave not seen the young lady.”
“No; he is to bring her to-morrow.”
“And what sort of a man is this Ameri
can? Is be a gentleman!”
“Well. I do not quite know. Perhaps
Americans are different from Englishmen.
Il he was an Englishman, I should say
without any hesitation that he is not a gen
tleman, as wo count good breedingan 1 good
manners. He is a big man, handsome, and
burly, and ho seems good tempered. When
I told bint what was the full amount of Iris’s
inheritanct ”
“Iris’s inheritance!” Arnold repeated. “I
beg your pardon, Clara; pray go on; but it
seems like a dream.”
“He only laughed, and said ho was glad
she would have so much. The utmost they
hoped, they said, was that it might be a
farm, or a house or two, or a few hundreds
in the stocks. He is to bring her to-morrow,
and of course I shall make her stay with
me. As for himself, he says that he is anx
ious to get back home to his wife and his
practice.”
“He wants nothing for himself, then?
That seems a good sign."
“I asked him that question, and he said
that he could not possibly take money for
what ho an>l his family had done for Iris;
that is to say, her education and mainten
ance. This was very generous of him.
Perhaps he is really a gentleman by birth,
but has provincial manners. He said, how
ever, that ho had no objection to receiving
the small amount of money spent on the
voyage and on Iris’s outfit, because they
were not rich people, and it was a serious
thing to fit out a young lady suitably. So
of course I gave him what he suggested—a
check for two hundred pounds. No one, he
added with true feeling, would grudge a
single dollar that had been spent upon the
education of the dear girl; and this went to
my heart.”
“She is well educated, then?”
“She sings well,” he says, “and has had
a good plain education. He said I might
rest assured that she was ladylike, because
she had been brought up among his own
friends.”
“That is a very safe guarantee,” said
Arnold, laughing. “I wonder if she is
pretty!”
“I asked him that question, too, and ho
replied very oddly that she had a most splen
did figure, which fetebedeverybody. Is not
that rather a vulgar expression!”
“It is in England. Perhaps in America
it belongs to the first circles, and is a sur
vival of the Pilgrim Fathers. So you gave
him a check for two hundred pounds?”
“Yes; surely I was not wrong, Arnold.
Consider the circumstances, the outfit and
the voyage, and the man’s reluctance and
delicacy of feeling.”
“I dare say you were quite right, but—
well, 1 think I should have seen the young
lady first. Remember, you have given the
money to a stranger on his bare word.”
“Oh, Arnold, this man is perfectly honest.
I would answer for his truth and honesty.
He has frank, honest eyes. Besides, he
brought me all those letters. Well, dear,
You are not going to desert me because you
are engaged, are you, Arnold? I want you
to be present when she comes to-morrow
morning.”
“Certainly I will be present, with the
greatest —no, not the greatest pleasure. But
I will bo presmtJ—l will come to luncheon,
Clara.”
When she was gone he thought again of
the strange coincidence, both of the man
and of the inheritance. Yet what had his
Iris in common w ith a girl who had been
brought up in America? Besides, she had
lost her Inheritance, and this other Iris had
crossed the ocean to receive hers. Yet a
very strange coincidence. It was so strange
that he told it to Iris and to Lala Roy.
Iris • laughed, and said she did not know
she had a single namesake. Lala did not
laugh; but he sat thinking in silence. There
wis no chess for him that night; instead of
playing his usual game Mr. Emblem, in his
chair, laughed and chuckled in rather a
ghastly way.

ANOTHER CASE.
East Point, Ga., April 2,1884.
Mr 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 with debility, emaciation, falling
out of the hair and a frightful breaking out of
the skin. Her bones became very much dis
eased and painful (some calling it white swell
ing), with sleepless nights and a general feel
ing of horror. Some friends said tiiat B. B B.
would cure her. 1 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.

blood Poison remedy failed to give niin re

quick cure, and five bottles healed the ulcers,
relieved ills pain, cured his kidneys, restored
his appetite, and made him a healthy, happy
man. Any one can secure his full name and

tl.ft case suggested the use of
Bradfield’s Female Regulator,
and although he stated that he knew of a similar case
being cured by it, and endorsed it highly himself, 1
was so discouraged I did not believe it would do her
any good; but as a las’, resort 1 bought a large bottle of
it and she began taking it, and from tne very first a

rapidly, her appetite returned, her whole system was
built up, and to-day she is as well and sound as ever
in her life, and I am under lifelong obligations to you
