io his hands olono In his homo in Charles street Nctv York yuddeuly a knock comes at the door So springs to open it Father I knew youd come I knew youd come Oh father father father 1 sobbed out the strong young fellowbrokenly My boy my boy I corned as soon as I got your letter Has hasnt she come back i Back flashed Jacob no I wouldnt mind so much if it wnt for our little Alice Shes left her father our little child I Ohl groaned the younp fellow pacing the room in his agony oh that I never hud seen her Oh that Stop Jacob Dont say that Sheisvnur wife and your childs mother and allers that is something to remember Tell me he said laying down his oldfashioned carpet sack on a chair and taking off his hat tell me now long senco sue lert yet Two weeks yesterday groaned Jacob Shes pretty ye say i Yes gritted Jacob through his teeth as a flower But ob what was the use 01 my bringing you here father 1 i a solhsh fool Huch a journey you are tired take off your coat let me oh 1 I am mad I think throwing himself into a chair and shaking with dry sobs Where is she said Uncle Aaron At the Bowery Theater Actinl Yes What does she call herself 3 Rose Clark And if I go there now I would find herf said the old man slowly Yon fatherl cried Jacob jumping up no you musnt go there no no My lad said his father deliberately picking up his hat Im agoin Ill find tho place never fear and Ill find her But she will laugh in your face father you dont know her She has no more soul than a dolL No you musnt go there to be laughed at by that crew Im agoin said Uncle Aaron simply wait here for me lad and putting on his hat he went out In extremity any straw seems a plank Jacob overwhelmed by his agony let him go Uncle Aaron with his straightforward directness found the place ho was In search of with a quickness to one strange to the city and was soon in front of the boxoffice I want a ticket he said The gallerys a good place for seeing said the ticket agent glancing knowingly at his country clothes No said Uncle Aaron simply I want a good seat Oh smiled tho man one dollar and fifty cents then puseing out a check Uncle Aaron paid his money took the ticket and for the first time in his life was in a theater He took his seat took up the programme and waited No one of that crowded house dreamed of the tragic errand that brought that old man there With difficulty he spelled out tho names of the cast Edith daughterof the Squire Roso Clark he read Thats her I must wait In the course of time she came upon the stage Rose Clark The old man drew his breath hard and looked at her Yes she was charming no doubt about that and otiarming not only on account of her pretty face but charming with a birdlikesaucineBS that was piquant to ail her hearers The old man looked and listened Btudytng her voice and tricks of gesture and then with acunning very foreign to his nature made up his mind that ho would win her over bya strategem At tho end of the flrstact ho turned in a gentleman seated at his left and asked Can you tell me sir how a body could get to speak to one of them there afore they leave the theater Tho young follow stared but answered Oh yes go to tho greenrcom just before the last act Which be the way there please What did you aski How to get to the greenroom If you wish I will take yo there Acquainted f Noo hesitated Uncle Aaron but I want to speak to Rose Clark I I see nodded the young scamp at hia side She is jolly Morry as a bobolink always Ever see her before No said Uncle Aaron not beforetonight Ill introduce you smiled the yiung fellow wait until tho next act is over Thankee said Uncle Aaron simply Towards tho close of the play the young fellow leaned over to Uncle Aaron and said Come Im going now Uncle Aaron picked up his hat andfollowed blm The young fellow stepped into a sort of a side corridor and said Well have to wait a minute thoy havent ruDg the curtain down yet I kin wait said Uncle Aaron What a curious old fellow you are thought tho young man eyeing himinquisitively Soon tho actors came trooping off the stugo with tho alacrity of schoolboys just let out of school Ah I said the young mau here she Is Miss Clark this way a moment ploase catching her by the arm and stopping her Allow me to introduce to you my friend Mr ahem Smitb Hes anxious to make your acquaintance The twinkling glance of understanding between the two was not lost on Uncle Aaron but ho said with an awkward sort of bow Good evenin I would like to speak to you please If its any thing of a private natureperhaps Id bettor depart said tho young fellow his eyes dancing Undo Aaron said gravely Yes it bees private sir I must see this young woman alone Excuse me sir smiled Rosepleasantly but I have an engagement this evening and Yo dont go til I speaks to ye saidUncle Aaron firmly You can speak before this gentleman then hes a friend of mine said Rose somewhat haughi ily I must boo yo by yorself persistedUncle Aaron earnestly Hirl you roally must excuse me said Rose I have an engagement I come from yer husband I cried Uncle Aaron forgetting his strategem and every thing else in his fear of losing her My husband I Ahl And who may you bo siri Hie father said the old man simply Paling a little tn spito of all her rouge she smiled and said That makes some difference Harry turning to tho young fellow Ill see you presentlywill youexcuse ub for a few momontsl Tho young man bowed and Rosoleading tho way from tho stago wing where thy had been standing to thodressingroom said This way sir there is no one here Now what Is it you wantl I want ye to go back to yor husband Rose throw herself down in a chair and kuighed and laughed And he sent you hero as deputy Oht but ho was wlsonot IK COMB BACK CHILDl tooomo again himself back to him No never never never I I want to live I tell you This tjje IJfs lor ma 1 y ay merry free ana like living And you came here to ask me to go back tothataull treadmill again did you I tell you that I have chosen my life I will not go back to him I A jealous exacting romantic fool thatexpects a woman to be a saint 1 No sir I will never go back to him theres no use in your talking said Rose pushing back her wavy hair and beating her little slippered foot impatiently I won t do it I Uncle Aaron looked at her and with that wondrous sympathy of his said gently Poor child 1 Ye want to be happy dont yerl The woman looked at him amazedsuspicion and curiosity blended at once inner face Happy What do you mean My child said Uncle Aaron his eyes shining I know how ye feel Ye want a change and somewhat a livelier life know But no one has jess what theyd like to have in this world and there is your child you know I cant say it as it ought lo be said Im no scollard but I know that if ye leave yer husband who loves ye and yer child that needs yer love that by and by yell be sorry So sorry that all the fist of this sweeping his hands around will he taken outof it Just think Come back with me child Ja Jacob loves ye Hye hadouly seen him tonight Here he broke down and had to stop The mention of her husbands namesomehow seemed to harden Rose You ask impossibilities sir I am not made for domestic dullness I care nothing for my husband and my child Oh well she is sc young shell never miss me Theres a Rreat deal of romantic nousense in the world sir and I for one am not going tc sacrifice my life for any sentimentalfoolery Now do you understand me It is no use your talking I intend lo iivo my own lifo in my own way But child cried Uncle Aaronexcitedly Is it nothing that my boy break his heart Is it nothing that yer child grows np without yer Yer havent thought ahead surely Come back child Ill make Jacob bo goodto ye ye shall have a gay life ye shall come with me said the old man grasping her hand in both of his come and ho shall do more for ye than ever a man did to make va happy For answer such a ringing merry poal of laughter that Uncle Aaron dropped herhands and started back staring Hal ha hal ha You como from tho mountains dont you Excuse my laughing but it strikes me bo absurd to think that 1 I who have hundreds nightly at my feet that I could be happy with him Ha ha ha ha No sir I tell you not Once and for all no Do you understand Let mo pass please I have already given you considerable of my time and as 1 told you I have anengagement for this evening Catching gracefully with one hand her long sweeping train of paleblue silk with the other she motioned Uncle Aaron from tho door Mechanically he moved aside She passed through the door and out Ho stood aiono dumb with pain and despair Odo suffers twofuid whon one suffers for another His whole heart was wrung Ho had no thought save that she would not go back to his boy and his boy loved her The intensity of his sorrow drowned his sense of her wickedness All he knew was that she would not go back Ho stood there like a man in a dream taking no account of time or place Fifteen minutes later one of the employes of the theater coming in to turn off the gas saw him Youll have to get out he said civilly bhe wont comeback said Uncle Aaron Hoy said tho man Old fellow is alittle light in tho upper story I guess ho mumbled to himself You must get outof here sir woro going to shut up he said ogain 1 asJr yer parding said Uncle Aaron suddenly roalizing where he was I was a thinkln Goodnight to yo sirGoodnight said tho man commencing to turn off tha gas uncio Aorn soon ivarrcrinui5iirm tonstreet and finally he reached Jacobs home As ho came in Jacob sprang toward him eagerly The ohl man threw up his bunds with a despairing gesture and shook his head 1 knew it cried Jacob but tho anguish In his cry showed that he yet had hoped Throwing himself down on the sofa he buried his fuce in his hands Then getting up again and paemgup and down the room ho spolte rapidly You see father she was left so much alono I had been so busy with my law cases Her mother was French you know and the love ofexcitement was in her 1 suppose but I never dreamed he groaned that she woulddeceive me Coining home one night I found she was out I traced her to the theater and found her on the stago Think of it I It seems that she had once or twice before supplied one of the actresses place whon ill and I had never dreamed of such a thing I thought her at thoso times to be with her aunt who was very low she said She has no heart she never had To leave our child curse her I I will forget her Oh I will I will I will he criedpassionately cliMiching his hands and striding up and uuwn Heeing his father had not moved nor an swered him he strode over to where ho sat The old man raised his eyes In them was such a world of yearning love andsympathy that Jacob giving a cry like a lirod child flung himself down on the floor and buried his head upon the old mans knees CHAPTER V Thero is a spur in nnguish that only the cruelly goaded know Jacob had hitherto been fairly successful but had attained no especial eminence in his profession owing to tho easy comfort of happy surrouu dings He had shown occasional flashes ofbrilliancy in some of the law cases hoconducted but that was all Now all his faculties seemed aroused and intensified and ho lived as he had nevor llvod boforo Ho throw himself into his work with a force and recklessness that achioved wonders In six months time ho was famousPeoplo crowded into the courtroom whenever it was known that young Jacob Lane was to apeak His logic was convincing and his eloquence carried bis listeners along with him as iT swept on by a torrent It soon came to be that he refused to take any but great cases and his time was worth more in dollars and cents than that of any lawyer in tlio city Within a year ho was rich onuugh to leave his modest home in Charlos street and move into one of the brownstone mansions on Fifth avenue He did this because ho had a return of the old stilled feeling that be used to feel as a boy in tho mountains He wanted more room and air What he would have dono In thoso clays of despair without littlo Alice it would bo hard to say At times when the hungry longing to see his wife again came over him it was only tho sight of tho wee blossom face that kept him from selfdestruction In tho course of time his pain grew less and gradually tho wound was at last not healed but scarred over But In placo of the brightfaced confident innocent frank cleareyed youth who in his joyousncss might have stood for a Biatuo of hope itself was a palo stern man whoso every word was decisivo and whose every action had force and strength At homo on tho street ho was quiet reticent seeking no friendships necUiL no man Only in the courtroom did tho life within him glow and leap and flash and burn nrousiug astonishing and warning his hearers Right and wrong right and wrong That was his battlecry as his buglenotes denounced the wrong and thundered for t lie right It seemed as il the one great evil ho had suffered himsell had eaten Into bis very soul and that naught could help him but righting all wrongs for all men One evening several years after Roses desertion of him when he was Bitting one night in the library of uib beautiful homo Utlld Alice surprised him by saying Iapa hasnt I dot any munia No dear Jacob answered gontly she is dead 1 told you once before Poor mama said tho child kissing 0

smiling Run along to bod now theres a good girl bo that papa can write the letter you know All yight Goodnight my very own papa Oodlv em my love and ask em to turn kick I And tho little fairy danced off to bed But Jacob did not writo at once after Utile Alice left him He sat by the gratelire dreaming looking into the coals and thinking of the past Little Alice is right he said tohimself at length and I have beenasellish brute not to have thought of them before Poor father and mother They must indeed have thought me heartless And so I am I have no lovo left to give any one Ohl Rose Rose Oht my wife How could you J Again tho old pain again tho old ache It is hard to bury what is yet alivo thought Jacob whimsically He went to his desk sat down and wrote to Uncle Aarou Then putting on his hat and overcoat wont out and dropped the letter Into the nearest mailbox himsolf Ten days luter the doorboll oi No Fifth avenue was rung and whon the darkey butler opened the door hesnickered for there suniiing bufore him wore Uncle Aaron and Aunt Kato in all the glory of their best clothes looking like caricatures of themselves and burlesques of recent fashion plates Bees Mr Jacob Lane at home said Uncle Aaron smiling while he wiped the perspiration off his forehead with a big pictured handkerchief No sah grinned Sara he done gone down to de boat to meet his farder anmuddor sah Well now Aaron I told you that Jacob would meet us only yer wouldnt wait but had to walk me away up here and Im all tuckored out whined Aunt Kate Well como in voung man and rest 1 reckon onid Unnli r 0u sroMostly

sodisturbin yourself said mischievous Sam bowing with the grace of a Chesterfield Ill speak lode cook and bring it to you right hyar Hrectly And before AuntKate could itop him or remonstrate with him he was out the door and gone Left to themselves Uncle Aaron and Aunt Kate looked around them in admiration at their beautiful surroundings But aven their admiration was characteristic for Aunt Kates was mxed with a feeling of awe and half fear while Uncle Aaron nodded his head with a satisfied sinllo as ifhemetaflcr a long absence old friends whom he was gl id to see Aunt Kato was lown on her knees and was feeling the hiclmess of the Axminstor ourpet and Undo Aaron was standing before a fine watercolor Bmiling and looking happy when snddonly Alice daintily dressed and nugglng her beloved dollio in her arms ttood within the Turkish portieres that iraped tho doorway Ooo she said Land sakes 1 cried Aunt Kate Why this must be Allcel said Uncle Aaron With tho swift recognition that children have of those nkin to them little Alice dropped her doll and without a moments hesitation went to Uncle Aaronsoutitretched hands Ho stood up in his great iielght and happiness a beautiful picture with tho child in his arms Aunt Kate looked at them as she ever looked atevery thing doubtfully My weo woman my wee woman said Uncle Aarcn talking to her as lovers do And for answer Alice kissed hmemphatically several times pulling her tiny flugerB through his long gray board Aunt Kate itood stiff and straight looking at them both Beant yor ngoln to speak to mo she said at last primly Im yourgrandmother la see questioned Alice lifting up her great blue eyes to Uncle Aaron Yes in Bartin your grandmab K13S Her theres a good child Thus directed littlo Alice got down from Uncle Aaron smoothed down her pretty Iress tossed her curls over her shoulder and said How de doo drandmal and held up her wee mouth for a kiss Thank God that nature is at times too strong or us For once Aunt Kato forgot to carp andwhino All her womans heart wont out to the woo mouth held up to hers My baby she cried and then gatheringup the Liny form with all its protty laco and frlllB to her broad motherly breast she hold her 2I0BC And tho child felt the mother love and was not afraid only nestled tho closer She kissed and crowed over her as trio there lo and Alice at laBt lifting up her tumbled curly head eaid wisely Oo tan go now drandpa 00 tango to blzzeness wiv papa Doodbye Uncle Aaron stood big nonplussed awkward He waB surprised as many of his brother men have been before him and thoso after him will be again at that illogical Btrango freemasonry of womankind in the crises of life be they young or old of high or low degree Plainly ho was not wanted or needed Fortunately a few moments after Jacob returned home very sorry that he had mlsfied them at the boat Ho was rather surprised to see upon what intimate terms AuntKatennd wee Alice wore as thai little lady Bat upon tho old damos lap gravely putting her grandmas big gold earrlngB around her dollios wrists as bracelots Uncle Aaron and Aunt Kate remained with Jacob about two week and theuUncle Aaron with his gentle wiseunderstanding of all thingB thought it best that they should go Ho saw that although Jacob was glad to havo them that the daily routine of his life was altered that his ways were not their ways It was their last evening at Jacobs house when weeAlice had taken grandma up to her own room and was happy with her io hor pretty cliUilisli idLiuii aiti Auiit Katesoftentdaiid gcutlir lor the time spoilt with the child was sitting there with her happy and at peace too In the library the beautiful room with its lines of books and corners of rarecuriosities seated In two easy chairs drawn up in front of the blazing fire were Uncle Aaron and Jacob alono together Alike and yet not alike Jacobs face manly and grave stood out like marble chiseled by some master hand A face full of vigor and thought and strength It seemed tosuggest the possibilities in man But Uncle Aaron of larger frame and grander mold sublimo in ts rujrged simplicity seemed to suggest the possibilities of a God The two sat looking into the coals and at last Jacob said with a sigh Well so you leave us tomoi row father Couldnt you stay longer Its best not lad Its best not Wove had a good visit and your mother has been like a different creature since wee Alice took to her so Hum I with a little chuckle of keen amusement blood is thickcrn water aint it When I see little Alice asettin on her grandmas lap adoin what she will with her und her asettm asgentle and quiet as a nestin hen I feel as If Id like to go out and flap my wings and say Cockee dooulcdoo I But you dont Baid Jacob with ananswering laugh No lad I dont replied Uncle Aaron with a quizzical look nor neither would you if you was me A moments pause then Uncle Aaron stooping down took hold of a magnificent black bearskin that mounted as a rug was in front of tho grate How queer it seems lad to use the bars coat this way Why manys tho bar Ive killed in the past twenty years in the mountains and yet I never thoueht ofputting his coat under mv feet Whv ils just ao YOU LCAVE U3 TOatO what a child might do to put his feet on his furry coat to keep em warm Do you know Jacob one tling that strikes me rightcurious in all your lino new things and new ways n living No father said Jncol Whuli Why that the things that seem tocos the most money and that you city folii seem to lrecr for the most air the things that air the rimilwl tu got and do Straighcsti questioned Jacob Yes str nigh test easiest at toast they seem so to me said Uncle Aaron Why that talk you gave the other day in court that thoy all clapped so Why lud it was the only thing you could have said It wouid have beon strange for you to have said any different wouldnt It Jacob nodded aud smiled and Unclii Aaron wentnn Thats what I mean thai the things we sees to do the easiest whal is in us to do is the right thing for us And then arter it is done every one sees It is good ye know Now about this ere TOOm Jacob Somotliiiiraiilr jierhi juuI somethings air wrong I mean in thefixius lad and I hev noticed that the right things are what was eusy to do and the other things that were a heap more trouble they dont suit ao one now they are dono Oh lather father said Jacob rising unexpectedly and pacing the floor you should have been in my place you should have had a chance Chance for what tad Money I do not want it I never have that is not what I have keercd for What do you care for said Jacob Me What do I kecr fir I dont know how to tell ye lad I know I dont lteer for money for that only means so many loads of hemlock bark taken lo the tannin But it Boenis to me lad as if there must be someother use for whats in us some other use Im no scollard I cant say what I feels my boy but when 1 heered you the other day in court a pleadin for that poor woman and saw tho tears a runnin down the peoples cheeks I felt as if I was a livlu then and Uncle Aaron rose and put his hand on Jacobs shoulder You give me new courage father said Jacob but its hard to live on without her my wife I know lad Dont ever think I forget it I doesnt There are somo that help us even although Ihey can not take our burden lrom us they seem to share the weight of it Jacob strong man that ho was feltstealing over him the same sense of comfort that ho had felt as a child in Uncle Aarons arms Ho felt strengthened and uplifted better able to lace tho long dreary outlook of lonely days to come Father he said at last you make me feel like a man again like a Boldier that has heard the ringing cheer of his Captain tochargo the foe And I would indeed he a co ward if I fell back now
