JEALOUSY IN TWO WORLDS.
Students of the world's history are
constantly learning that empires and
epochs arc born of trilles. But in how
many cases tlieso arc legitimate births
we havo now no timo to consider.
"And you must bring your friend
with you. '
Must he, indeed 1
Now the moro Lieutenant Stockton
tlioiiKht it over tho further ho seemed
drifting from his stoical confidence. It
did, indeed, appear a burlesque upon
true greatness that a military man should
bo tho victim of such fears. But before
my readers pass judgment they must bo
better informed.
1 wonder if there was anv desijni in
tho founders of the military academy at
West Point to develop the romantic ten
dencies of their country's young defen
ilei's ? If so they liave admirably plan
tied; if not they havo built stronger than
they thought.
Urowmntt tho crest ot almost maccess-
blo heimits, (jiiardini' tho waters ol tho
most historical of American rivers, tho
very sito ot this Kugby ol tho young
soldier boy enioins ami appluds tho mar-
riago of lovo and war. If hero wo look
tor tho ardor that pours out "nobio blood
as cheerfully as ever after a lone day's
sport, when, as infants, they rested their
heads upon their mother s knees, or sank
to sleep in her arms," we migltt also find
explanation why dovotion, born and
bred here, should bo fearless and stead
fast, with hatred of naught savo trilling
and treachery.
"tjommenceinent day seems n misno
mer to somo ; but 1 think tho title born
of a thought happy oven unto inspira
tion. It is tho close of tho ideal life, but
tho commencement of real lifo ; it is tho
door leading from tho nnte-rooiu into tho
amphitheatre. But who can know of a
happier or a prouder day t Prom Hint
timo forward tliero will always bo
hcighta to carry by "mining" or Btonn,
but at that hour tho victory is complete,
and all the world that tho collegian has
been taught to sco nnd know lies at his
feet
Lieutenant Stockton was susccptiblo
to his surroundings just as far as a
tolerably cool temperament permits itself.
In fact, ho willfully surrendered himself
to tho delusions of tho hour. For four
years ho liad been tho servant if not
tho slave of disciplino and study, nnd
now camo homo to Boroughton with tho
purpose ol linding luo and living it,
And that ho uncut Uio better enjoy ins
rest ho had insisted upon tho company
of young Landers, who, having passed
his second year at tho academy, was per
milted for tho first time to air his brass
buttons and military walk in tho outer
world.
Borouchton was too small n place not
to wonder nt anything wonderlul. bo,
when it became noised abroad that Lieu
tenant Stockton was engaged to Jennie
Hanlan inquiry was lust enthusiastically
directed to gathering nil tho shreds of
evidenco that supported tho report, and
then to debating tho question : "Re
solved, that Jennie Hnnlau is not tho
girl for Lieutenant Stockton," with tho
allirmativo universally triumphant.
Hut as Jiioutenant Stockton eared very
littlo for such innoci nt interference, he
never called for tho report ot tho com
tniltee, and Homing seemed nblo lo cloud
his anticipations of again meeting the
object of his passion, l'ldlosopheis may
tell you how earnest natures and soaring
nmbitions nro ovei turned by Hashing
eyes nnd coquettish wnys, nud it is nn
interesting Btiidy, bin Jiieuienant htock
ton would hnve nssured you thnt tho
point was not an isoiie, nnd Hint lie had
fallen iu lovo witli the tmo womanhood
that lay underneath nil else.
For all theso i canons lio wasrnther ag
Kressively proud of Jennio Hanlan
moro so than of his own commission or
academical honors and so it camo to
pass that liis fiist demand on Harry
Landers was for his company on n visit
to lier liouso. And our story begins
wlicro that visit ends.
Jealousy is proof of tlio presence of
lovo nnd tho nbacnoo of confidence Both
elements nro necessary fnctorfl in Uio
product. If n innn is Indifferent ton
womati'f) favors, or certain ol tlicin, ho
cannot id jealous; lul if "lio loves Mill
doubts her, lio cmitiot lio nnytliiui; else j
Liotitonaiit btooklonfi devotion to Jen-
nlo Ilmilnn was established the sowinif
circles nil conceded it while prelendlnj;
to wonder at it but liis confidence
scotned yet moro boundless. Sho might
go with whom alio pleased, htnilo as
sweetly ns sho divinely willed, dance
with tho yoiing lawyer all uiglil, and
write down to the academy a full bill of
particulais with tho utmost impunity.
5ul this night well I well I there was
no possible excuse lor lua lolly, and be
would tiank uo more ot it.
Bright nnd early noxt morning he left
Harry Landers in the library writing a
letter liome and saddling his horse.rodo
over to Sackett's Harbor to take dinner
with a favorito aunt, nnd listen to tho
adyico that had been gradually nccuinu-
lating over his head for the past two I ns
years.
In all tlieso anticipations tho Lieuten-
ant was not disappointed. Ho received
n hearty welcome, nn excellent dinner
and even lictter advico ( luo third-class
l.l ! !.!.... 1... . 1 1
inuBaiujj ueiNy, uiu ,ij,u iwiiinu-
traded that it was not until lato in tho
afternoon that he was able to imprint
tho farowell kiss on tho old lady's cheek,
and becin his retreat from her liosnital-
l-
But at so sharp a pace did ho urge
tho sorrel maro that tho sun was yet an
hoar high when tho centre of Ilepworth
Forest was reached and timo was granted
him to stoj) at tho Powder Springs a
favorito spot with him from childhood.
Our memories aro loyal to tho law of
association, and ns tho Lieutenant fas-
tened tho maro to a treo a littlo from the
hicrhwav and then throw himself on :
f
grassy knoll by tho spring, a iianorama
oi ins young me, ueioro cpauieiies nnu
ambition's dream had como to dazzle,
seemed to riso beforo him. His truant
days, when without furlough he had
stayed from school with certain boon
coinpanious,thc hour she spent at this very
spot,thoftinof splashingtho waters of tho
brook in one niiothers laces, or building
a dam a bit below tho fountain source,
with faintest manifestations of that en
gineering skill that was to scoro him
high at tlio academy.
But how could ho chase such thoughts
long ere thoy brought him to when the
oyes of Jennie Hanlan seemed blacker
and brighter man the eyes oi tlio other
girls, and his bashful glances wero an
swered by yet moro ardent ones, until
when he linnlly essayed to rival her
boldness she would turn away and smile
as sweetly elsewhere, and ho awoke to
find himself head over heels in love with
tho greatest flirt in tho school ? But as
thoy grew older he was certain Jennie
improved, until, ono bright morning
tho very brightest of his lifo tlio past
wes all secured by tliat letter ot all let
ters, that answered his inflammable
epistle from tho academy, and assured
him that she, Jennie Hanlan,thoughtle,
wayward Jennio Ilaulau, would be his
own true sweetheart forever and ever
amen.
How much longer this young man of
23 would have suffered such commun
ions as these to drive his aunt's advice
from a level head was never tested, for
jiHt then a step was hoard, and with it
another, and a remarkably gnill voice
announced that they would stoji right
there.
Alinct instinctively tho Lieutenant
kept very still, but a natural curiosity
led him to peer through tho foliagu to
where thoy had seated themselves. Thoy
were not a specially refined or attractive
braco of tourists, or such as would make
congenial company in a back alloy on a
dark night, if one might judge from ap
pcarances. it should Do said thoy were
Iressed in considerably better stylo than
tho model tramp, but their clothes
seemed to sneak rather of former splen
dors than of future hopes, of a setting
than a rising sua. But their conversa
tion was decidedly more interesting than
themselves.
"Ho wns a turn cut youngster, now,
wasn't he, Jack ?"
"All brass buttons are, camo tho surly
answer.
"And so sweet on tho girl that I got
calous; eh, Jack" with an heroic effort to
arouso his companion from his stupor.
But Jack appeared wrapped in thought
nnd so was the Lieutenant. A great light
was shining out lrom a most unexpected
source. Ilarrv Landers stood for tho
bra's buttons," nnd Jennie Hanlan was
out riding with him, and tho bitter sus
picions of tho last night returned with
tenfold force.
"Now, Jack, you'ro a bit envious of
mo," said tho moro talkative one, with a
grim senBo of tho humorous, which Jack
didn't seem to appreciate.
"I was wondering what timo ot day
it is."
It seemed an innocent and reasonable
manner of wonder, but his companion
looked atliimiuqumngly. Jacks answer
ing glance appeared to satisfy him.
"Its a go, jack, but i hate to lnghten
tho girl."
"Ot course, answered Jack, with an
oath, "sho might cut your acquaintance,
or refuse your hand at tho next
Uormnn.
Thogrimncss ot tho remark brought
aloud "1U ha I from his companion,
