CHAPTER X
B “IT IS MY COUSIN.’’
“Well, Joe,” said his wife, "and how is
it going to finish? It looks to me as if there
was a prison-van and a police-court at the
end. Don’t you think we had better back
out of it while there is time?”
“You’re a fooll’’ her husband replied—
it was the morning after his visit to Clara;
‘■you know nothing about it. Now listen.”
“I do nothing but listen; you've told me
the story till I know it by heart. Do you

"Now look here, Lotty; if there’s another
rord said—mind, now—you shall have
lothing more to do with the business at all.
'll give it to a girl I know—a clever girl,
rho will carry it through with flying
olors.”
She set her lips hard, and drummed her
ngers on the table. He knew how to rule
s wife.
"Go on,” she said, “since we can’t be hon
t.”
"Be reasonable, then; that’s all I ask you.
Honest! who is honest? Ain’t we every one
sngaged in getting round our neighbors?
Isn't the whole game, all the world over,
lying and deceit? Honest! you might as
well go on the boards witho t faking up
your face as try to live honest. Hold your
tongue, then.” He growled and swore, and
after his fashion called on the heavens to
Witness and express their astonishment
The girl bent her head, and made no reply
for a space. She was cowed and afraid.
Presently she looked up and laughed, but
with a forced laugh.
"Don’t be cross, Joe; Pll do whatever you
•want me to do, and cheerfully, too, if it will
do you any good. What is a woman good
for but to help her husband? Only don’t be
cross, Joe.”
She knew what her husband was by this
time—a false and unscrupulous man. Yet
she loved him. The case is not rare by any
means, so that there is hope for all of us,
from the meanest and most wriggling worm
among us to the most hectoring ruffian.
“Why there, Lotty,” he said, “that is
what I like. Now listen. The old lady is
a cake—do you understand? She is a
sponge, she swallows every thing, and is
eady to fall on your neck an il cry over you
>r joy. As for doubt or suspicion, not a
ord. I don’t think there will be a single
uestion asked. No, it’s all ‘My poor dear
‘laude’—that’s your father, Lotty—and ‘My

"All right, Joe, go on. lam Iris—l am

"You are not really going away, Joe, are
■on?”
"No, I am going to stay here; but I shall
Iretend to go away. Now remember, we’ve
;ot no suspicion ourselves, and we don’t ex

urprised and sorry. We don’t come to the
ady with a lawyer or a blunderbuss; we
ome as friends, and we shall arrange this
ittle business between ourselves. Oh, never
‘ou fear, we shall arrange it quite comfort
ibly, without lawyers."
"How much do you think we shall get out

"Listen and open your eyes. There’s

Brighton the effect, and now having suc-

no comic songs, and no dancing. ”
"And am I to begin at once by asking for
the money to be—what do you call it, trans
ferred?”
“No; you are not on any account to say a
word about the money; you are to go on
living there without hinting at the money—
without showing any desire to discuss the
subject—perhaps for months, u .til there
cau’t be tho shadow of a doubt that you are
the old woman’s cousin. You are to make
much of her, flatter her, cocker her up, find
out all the family secrets, and get the length
of her foot; but you are not to say one sin
gle word about the money. As for your
manners, I’m not afraid of them, because
when you like you can look and talk like Ja
count-ss.” •
"I know now.” She got up and changed
her face, so that it became at once subdued
and quiet, like a quiet serving-girl behind a
counter. “So, is that molest euough, Joe?
And as for singing, 1 shall sing tor her, but
not music-hall trash. This kind of thing.
Listen.”
There was a piano in the room, and she
sat down and sang to her own accompani
ment, with a sweet, low voice, one of tho
soft, sad German songs.
“That’ll do,” cried Joe. "Hang me!
what a clever girl you are, Lotty. That’s
the kind of thing the swells like. As for
me, give me ten minutes of Jolly Nash.
But you know how to pull 'em in, Lotty.”
It was approaching twelve, the hour when
they were due. Lotty retired and arrayed
herself in her quietest and most sober dress,
a costume in some brown stuff, with a bon
net to match. She put on her best gloves
and boots, having herself felt the inferiority
of the shop-girl to the lady in these minor
points; and she modified and mitigated her
fringe, which, she knew, was rather more
exaggerated than young ladies in society
generally wear.
“You’re not afraid, Lotty?” said Joe,
when at last she was ready to start.
“Afraid? Not I, Joe. Come along. I
couldn’t look quieter, nor it I was to make
up as Ido in the evening as a Quakeress.
Come along. Oh, Joe, it will be awful dull!
Don’t forget to send word to the Hall that I
am ill Afraid? Not I!" She laughed, but
rather hysterically.
There would be, however, she secretly con
sidered, some excitement when it came to
the finding out, which would happen, she
was convinced, in a very few hours. In fact,
she had no faith at all in the story being
accepted and believed by anybody; to be
sure, she hsrself had been trained, as ladies
in shops generally are, to mistrust all man
kind; and she could not understand at all
tho kind of confidence which comes of hav
ing the very thing presented to you which
you ardently desire. When they arrived in
Chester Square she found waiting for her a
lady, who was certainly not beautiful, but
she had kind eyes, which looked eagerly at
the strange face, and with an expression of
disappointment.
“It can’t be the fringe,” thought Lotty.
, "Cousin Clara,” she said softly and sweet
ly, as her husband had taught her. “I am
iris Deseret, the daughter of your old play
fellow, Claude.’*
1 “1 am Iris Deseret, the daughter of your
old playfellow, Claude.'"
, “Oh, my dear, my dear,” cried Clara,with
enthusiasm, “come to my arms! Welcome
home again!”
She kissed and embraced her. Then she
, held her by both hands, and looked at her
face again.
, “My dear,” she said, "you have been a
long time coming. I had almost given up
; hoping that Claude had any children. But
1 you are welcome, after all—very welcome,
t You are in your own house, remember, my
, dear. This house is yours, and the plate,
,• and furniture, and everything, and I am
i only your tenant."
t “Oh!” said Lotty, overwhelmed. Why,
i she had actually been taken on her word,
or rather the word of Joe.
“Let me kiss you again. Your face does
I not remind me as yet, in any singular fea
ture, of your father's. But I dare say I
i shall find resemblance presently. And, in
i deed, your voice does remind me of him
already. He had a singularly sweet and
i delicate voice.”
I “Iris has a remarkably sweet and deli
cate voice,” said Joe softly. “No doubt she
i got it from her father. You will hear her
> sing presently.”
Lotty hardly knew her husband. His
face was preternaturally solemn, and he
I looked as it he was engaged in the most
i serious business of his life.
“All her father’s ways were gentle and
delicate,” said Clara.
"Just like hers," said Joe. “When all of
, us—American boys and girls, pretty rough
at times —were larking about, Iris would he
, just sittin’ out like a cat on a carpet, quiet
and demure. I suppose she got that way,
too, from her father.”
"No doubt; and as for your face, my
• dear, I dare say I shall And a likeness pres
; ently. But just now I see none. Will you
take off your bonnet?”
- When the girl’s bonnet was off Clara
looked at her again, curiously, but kindly.
! "1 suppose I can't help looking for a like-
ness, my dear. But you must take after
your mother, whom I never saw. Your
father’s eyes were full and limpid; yours
i are large, and clear, and bright; very good
. eyes, my dear, but they are not limpid. His
mouth was flexible and mobile, but yours is
i firm. Your hair, however, reminds me
i somewhat of his, which was much your
light shade of brown when he was young.
And now, sir”—she addressed Joe—“now
that you have brought this dear girl all the
; way across the Atlantic what are you go
; ing to do?”
“Well, I don’t exactly know that there’s
i anything to keep me,” said Joe. "You see,
I I've got my practice to look after at home —
I am a physician, as I told you—and my
i wife and children; and the sooner I get back
the better, now that I can leave Iris with her
i friends, safe and comfortable. Stay,” he
> added, “there are all those papers which I
nromised you—the certificates and_ the rest
of them. You had better take them all,
miss, and keep them for Iris.”
"Thank you,” said Clara, touched by this
confidence; “Iris will be sate with me. It is
very natural that you should want to go
home again. And you will be content to
stay with me, my dear, won’t you? You
need not be afraid, sir; 1 assure you that her
interest will not in any way suffer. Tell her
to write and let you know exactly what is
done. Let her, however, since she is an
English girl, remain with English friends,
and get to know her cousins and relatives.
You -an safely trust her with me, Dr. Wash
ington.”
"thank you,” said Joe. "You know that
when one has known a girl all her life one
is naturally anxious about her happiness.
We are almost brother and sister.”
"I know; and I am sure, Mr. Washington,
we ought to be most grateful to you. As for
the money you have expended upon her, let
mo once more beg of you—”
Joe waved his hand majestically.
“As for that,” he said, “the money is
spent. Iris is welcome to it, it it were ten
times as much. Now, madam, you trusted
me, the very first day that you saw me, with
two hundred pounds sterling. Only an
English lady would have done that You
trusted me without asking me who or what 1
was, or doubting my word. I assure you,
madam, I felt that kindness, and that trust,
very much indeed; and in return. I have
brought you Iris herself, After all expenses
paid of coming over and getting back, buy
ing a few things for Iris, if I find that there's
anything over, I shall ask you to take back
the balance. Madam, I thank you for the
money, but I am sure I have repaid you—
with Iris,”
This was a very clever speech. If there
had been a shadow of doubt before it in
Clara’s heart (which there was not), it would
vanish now. She cordially and joyfully ac
cepted her newly-found cousin.
“And now, Iris,” he said with a manly
tremor in his voice, “1 do not know if I shall
see you again before I go away. If not, I
shall take your fond love to all of them at
home—Tom, and Dick, and Harry, and
Harriet, and Prissy, and all of them”—Joe
really was carrying the thing through splen
didly—“and perhaps, my dear, when you
are a grand lady in England, you will give
a thought—a thought now and again—to
your old friends across the water.”
"Oh, Joe!” cried Lotty, really carried
away with admiration, and ashamed of her
skeptical spirit. “Oh,” she whispered,
"ain't you splendid?”
“But you must not go, Dr. Washington,”
said Clara, “without coming again to say
farewell Will you not dine with us to
night? Will you stay and have lunch?”
“No, madam, I thank you. It will be
best for me to leave Iris alone with you.
The sooner she learns your English ways
and forgets American ways the better.”
“But you are not going to start t way for
Liverpool at cnee? You will stay a. day or
two in London "
The American physician said taat per
haps he might stay a week longer for scien
tific purposes.
“Have you got enough money, Joe?”
asked the new Iris thoughtfully.
Joe gave her a glance of infinite admira
tion.
“Well,” he said, “the fact is that I
should like to buy a few books and things.
Perhaps ”
"Cousin,” said Lotty eagerly, “please
give him a check for a hundred pounds.
Make it a hundred. You said everything
was mine. No. Joe, I won’t hear a word
about repayment, as if a little thing like
fifty pounds, or a hundred pounds, should
want to be repaid! As if you and I could
ever talk about repayment!”
Clara did as she was asked readily and
eagerly. Then Joe departed, promising to
call and say farewell before he left England,
and resolving that in his next visit—his last
visit—there should be another check. But
he had made one mistake; he had parted
with the papers. No one in any situation of
life should ever give up the power until he
has secured tho substance. But it is human
to err.
“And now, my dear,” said Clara warmly,
"sit down and let us talk. Arnold is com
. ing to lunch with us, and to make your ac
quaintance.”
When Arnold came a few minutes later
he was astonished to find his cousin already
on the most affectionate terms with the
newly arrived Iris Deseret. She was walk
ing about the room showing her the pic
tures of her grandfather and other an
' cestors and they were hand-in-hand.
“Arnold,” said Clara, “this is Iris, and I
hope you will both be great friends; Iri%
1 this is my cousin, but he he is not yours,”
1 “I don’t pretend to know how that may
be,” said the young lady. “But then I am
glad to know all your cousins, whether they
are mine or not; only don’t bother me with
' questions, because I don’t remember any
-1 thing, and I don’t know anything. Why,
until the other day I did not even know that
I was an English lady, not until they found
' those papers"
A strange accent for an American! and
she certainly said "laidy” for "lady” and
“paiper” for "paper,” like a cockney. Alas!
' This comes of London music halls even to
country-bred damsels!
’ Arnold made a mental observation that
the new comer might be called anything in
the world, but could not be called a lady.
She was handsome, certainly, but how
1 could Clau ie Deseret's daughter have grown
into so common a type of beauty? Where
was the delicacy of feature and manner
’ which Clara had never ceased to commend
’ in speaking of her lost cousin?
‘ “iris,” said Clara, “is our little savage
from the American forest. Shd is Queen
Pocahontas, who has come over to conquer
, England and to win all our hearts. My
dear, my cousin Arnold will help me to
1 make you an English girl.
’ She spoke as if the State of Maine was
still the hunting ground of Sioux and
Iroquois.
Arnold thought that a less American
loosing girl he had never seen; that she did
not speak or look like a lady was to be ex
-1 pected perhaps, if she had, as was probable,
been brought up by rough and unpolished
1 people. But he had no doubt, any more than
Clara herself, as to the identity of the girl.
’ Nobody ever doubts a claimant. Every im
postor, from Demetrius downwards, has
gained his supporters and partisans by sim
’ ply living among them and keeping up the
imposition. It is so easy, in fact, to be a
1 claimant, that it is wonderful there are not
’ more of them.
' Then luncheon was served and the young
lady not only showed a noble appetite but,
to Arnold’s astonishment, confessed to an
ai dent love for bottled stout.
! “Most American ladies,” he said imper
tinently, “only drink water, do they not?”
Lotty perceived that she had made a mis
-1 take.
“I only drink stout,” she said, “when
the doctor tells me. But I like it all the
same."
She certainly had no American accent.
But she would not talk much; she was per
-1 haps shy. After luncheon, however, Clara
asked her if she would sine, and she com-
plied, showing considerable skill with her
accompaniment, and singing a simple song
in good taste and with a sweet voice. Arnold
observed, howeter, that there was some
' weakness about the letter “h,” less common
' among Americans than among the English.
Presently he went away, and the girl, who
had been aware that he was watching her,
breathed more easily.
“Who is your cousin Arnold?” she asked.
“My dear, he is my ousin but not yours.
You will not see him often, because he is go
ing to be married, I am sorry to say, and to
be married beneath him—oh, it is dreadful—
to some tradesman's girl, my dear, ”
1 “Dreadful!” said Iris with a queer look in
' her eyes. “Well, cousin, I don’t want to see !
much of him. He's a good looking chap,
too, though rather too finicking for my taste, i
I like a man who looks as if he could knock '
another man down. Besides, he looks at me ,
as if I was a riddle, and he wanted to find I
out the answer.”
In the evening Arnold found that no ,
' change had come over the old man. He i
was, however, perfectly happy, so that, con- 1
sidering the ruin of his worldly prospects, it
1 was, perhaps, as well that he had parted, for I
a time, at least, with his wits. Some world
ly misfortunes there are which should al
ways produce this effect.
“You told me,” said Lala Roy, “that an
other Iris had just come from America to
' claim an inheritance of your cousin."
1 “Yes; it is a very strange coincidence.”
“Very strange. Two Englishmen die in
1 America at the same time, each having a ,
daughter named Iris, and each daughter en- ,
' titled to some kind of inheritance.” :
Lala Roy spoke slowly, and with mean- j
ing. i
1 -." Oh!” cried Arnold, “it is more than I
1 strange. Do you think—is possible ” [
He could not for the moment clothe his ,
thought in words.
“Do you know if anyone has brought this 1
girl to England?”
"Yes; she was brought over by a young
American physician, one of the family who
‘ adopted and brought her up.”
“What is he like—the young American
' physician?”
‘‘l have not seen him. ”
1 “Go, my young friend, to-morrow morn
1 ing, and ask your cousin if this photograph
' resembles the American physician.”
It was the photograph of a handsome
young fellow, with strongly-marked fea
tures, apparently tall and well-set-up.
"Lala, you don’t really suspect anything
—you don’t think ”
“Hush! I know who has stolen the
papers. Perhaps the same man has pro
duced the heiress.”
“And you think—you suspect that the
1 man who stole the papers is connected
with But then those papers must be— 1
1 oh, it cannot be! For then Iris would be 1
Clara’s cousin—Clara’s cousin—and the
other an impostor.”
"Even so; everything is possible. But
silence. Do not speak a word, even to Iris.
If the papers are lost, they are lost. Say
' nothing to her yet; but go-go, and find out
if that photograph resembles the American
physician. The river wanders here and
there, but the sea swallows it at last”

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 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 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.

Mr. A. P. W., of Hampton, Ga., has recently

cases of Blood Poison on record. His body

and one hundred bottles of the most popular
blood Poison remedy failed to give nim re
lief. He secured B. B. 8., the concentrated

relieved his pain, cured his kidneys, restored
his appetite, and made him a healthy, happy
man. Any one can secure his full name and

Almost a Miracle!
A REMARKABLE STORY.
A few days ago a gentleman of high standing in
Atlanta met Dr. J. Bradfield on the street, and related
the following, in which all ladies are deeply in
terested :
“For the past eighteen months my wife has been
an invabd. caused from womb trouble, cessation of
mense , etc., and I ha e tried everything! could hear
of in the waj’ of medicine, and have had several of ou r
best physicians attending her, to one of whom (calling
him by r ame) I paid one hundred and sixty-three dol
ars. Instead of improving or getting any relief, she
gradually grew worse, and I had almost given up hope,
and really did not believe she would ever get up from
an invalid’s bed; but a friend of mine who knew of
the 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, I
was so discouraged I did not believe it would do her
any good; but as a last resort 1 bought a large bottle of
it. and she began taking it, and from tne very first a
marked change took place. She begun to improve
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
and your remedy, for it undoubtedly saved her life;”
and he added, “I wish every lady in the world so af
flicted would try it, as I know it cure them ”
