THE HALF-CASTE.
AN OLD GTF.RNF.SS'S TALE
FOUNDED ON FACT.
1Y Mrss Mfl.fK-
ft mllp.l ii tlie avemifi undor t he
lame chestnut-trei-s. I s.iw sonift one
st.iu.lintj at the pnitici; thfn I tliink
tin motion of the carriage must have
male me dizzy, for all grew indistinct,
except a firm, kind hand holding me as
I stepped down, and tlie words. "Take
rare, my dear Cassia!" It was Mr.
.Sutherland:
lie seai-.-ely ohsoived Zlllah. till in the
hall I lntiodn.-ed her to him. He
seemed surprised, startled, pleased.
Ta!kin;jr of h.-r to me that evenins, lie
:-.i:d. !i ha-i ift th.ui.'ht she wuM
liave 21'owu nil Va; an I J. n t i -.'ii him
l"k at her at tim.-s w-'ii a jensive
kindness. Mrs. Sutherlan I whispered
tome that the ladv lie had h.'-ii enua ed
to was a hali'-caste like Z;lla!i. which
accounted for it. His mother's prophe
cy had hen ritrhl: he 'nad come hack as
he went out unmarried.
When Zillnh went to tied she was full
of admiration for her ernardian He
was so tall, so stately. Then his thick,
curling f;,ir hair just like a vun
man's, with scarcely a shadow of gray.
She would not believe that he was over
forty ten years older than mvself un
til by some pertinacity I had 'impressed
tliis fact upon her. And then she said
it did not signify, as she liked such
''dear old sonK" as him and me much
better than any younsr people. Her
fervor if admiration made me smile,
but after this ni-ht I observed that the
expression of it irrad ually ceased.
Though I was nui so demonstrative
as Zillah, it will imt be supposed but
that I was truly lad to see "my old
friend. Mr. Sutherland. He was" verv
kind, talked to me lonr of past thin gs,
and as he cast a irlanre on mv black
divss. I saw his lips quiver; he ti-ok mv
1 and pre-.--.-.! it like a brother, (o.d

an: shut up in,'f.'inr in ;i rat In r lonely
"oun! :y-house. This was the state if
thin'js anions ns all on the morning
when Mr. Nut herland called in- t'i his
study. Zillah wanted to i;n likewise.
"Not to-day." he answered her. very
gently and sinilinly. "I have business
to talk over with Miss I'ryor." (I knew
he said "Miss I'ryor" out of respect,
yet it hurt me I had been '-Cassia'
with him so many years. Perhaps he
thought I was out;rovimj my baby
mime now.i
The business he wished to speak of
w;is about Zil'ali's i ouiiiij' of aire next
w eek, and w hat w ;is to be done tin the
occasion. '-Should he. onsiht he. to give
a hail, a dinner, anything of that sort?
Would Zillah bke it?"
'I iiis was a trreat concession, f.-r in
old times he al wa s dish ke 1 society. I
answered thai I did not think such dis
play necessary, but I would try to find
out Zilliilfs mind.
I ilid so. It was an innocent, girlish
mind, keenly alive to pleasure, and new
to everything. The consequences were
natural" tlie ball must tie. A little she
hesitated when hinted at her guard
ian's peculiarities, and then she offered
cheerfully to renounce her delight. J!ut
he, his eyes beaming with a deeper de-
li-zht still, would not consent. So the
thing was settled.
It was a very brilliant affair, for Mr.
Sutherland spared no expense He
seemed to show a restless eagerness in
providing for his young favorite every
thing she could desire. Nay, in answer
to her wayward entreaties, lie even con
sented to "open the ball with her. though
saying " he was sure he should make
an old simpleton of himself." That was
not. likely!
I watched them walk down the room
together, and heard may people say
with a smile what a handsome pair
they were, notwithstanding the consid
erable difference of age.
It w as a very quiet evening to me.
living stramre to almost everyone there,
I sat near old Mrs. Sutherland in a cor
ner. Mr. Sut herland asked me to dance
once, but I did not feel strong, and in
deed for the hist few years I had almost
given np dancing. He laughed, and
said merrily: "It was not fair for him
to be beginning life just when fended
it.' A true word spoken in a jest!
lint I only smiled.
The ball produced results not unlike
ly, when one considered that it was
meant for the introduction into society
of a young woman, handsome, attract
ive, and an heiress. A week or two af
ter Zillah's birthday Mr. Sutherland
called me once more into his study.
I noticed he looked rather paler and
less composed than usual, lie forgot
even to ask me to sit down, and we
stood together by the fire-place, which I
remember was tilled with a great vase
ol lilacs that Zill.ih had insisted on plac
ing there. It filled the room with a
strong, rich scent, which now I never
perceive without its bringing back to
mv mind that room and that day.
'He said: "I have hail a letter to-day
on which I wish to consult with you lie
fore .showing it to Miss Le l'oer." (I
was rather startled by the formal
words, since he usually called her "Zil
lah. '" as w as natural.)
"It is a h-iter s-H.tcely surprising

in fact to be expected after what I no
ticed at the dinner-party yesterday; in
fact lint you had better read it your
self." He took the letter from his desk and
gave it to me. It v.as an earnest and
apparently Sincere application for the
hand of his ward. The suitor, the Hon.
Henry Trench, was of good family and
moderate prospects. I had noticed he
was very attentive to Zillah at the ball,
and on some occasions since; still I was
a good deal surprised, more soeven than
was Mr. Sutherland, who had evidently
watched her far closer than I. I gave
him back the letter in silence, and
avoided looking at his face.
"Well. Cassia." he said after a pause,
and with an appearance of iravety,
"w hat is to be done? Von women are
the best counselors in these matters."'
I smiled, but both he and I very soon
became grave once more.
"It is a thing to be expected." con
tinued he in a voice rather formal and
hard. "With Zillah's personal attrac
tion's and large fortune she was sure to
receive many offers. Still it is early to
begin these a If airs."
I reminded h;m that she was twenty
one. "True. true. She might, under other
circumstances, have been married long
before this. I)o vou think that she
-t
I suppose he was going to ask me
whether I thought she w as likely to ac
cept Mr. French, or had hitherto "formed
any attachment, lint probably delica
cy withheld him. for he suddenly
slopped and omitted the question.
Soon he went on in the same steady
tone:
"I think Zillah ought to be made ac
quainted with this circumstance. Mr.
French states that this letter to me is
the fust confession of Ins feelings.
That was honorable on his part. Ile'is
a gentleman of good standing, though
far her inferior in fortune. People,
might say that he wanted her property
to patch up the decayed estates at
Weston-llrook."
This was spoken leil'-rly, very bitter
ly for a man of such kind nature as
Andrew Sutherland. He seemed con
scious of it and add-d: "I mav wrong
him. and if so I regret it. liut do you
not think. Cassia, that of all things it
must be most despicable, most mean,
most gahing to a man of any pride or
honest feeling, the thought of the
world's saying that he married his wife
for money, as a plop to ins falling fortunes-,
or a shield tq his crumbling hon

n.iiiient that
n r heart was

lie did not. l Mciil on:
"Mr. French is verv agreeable, and
she seems to like him; but a giri's
heart, if of any value at a!!, is rar.-lv
won in three meetings. I think, how
ever, that Zillah ought to be ma le ac
quainted with this letter. Will voutell
her. or shall 1?"
"(Jo you and do it a woman can best
ileal with a woman in these casts.
And." he added, rising slow lv ami look
ing down upon me with that" grave and
self-possessed smile which was likewise
as sue. ! as any woman's, '"tell Zillah
frorn ni.'. that though I wish her to
marry in her own rank and with near
equality of fortune, to save her from all
those d mgers of mercenary oilers to
which an heiress is so crueli'v exposed,
still, both now and at all times. I leave
her to t lie dictates of her ow n affections
and her happiness will ever be my chief
c nsiderar ion in life."
I le spoke wit ii formal serenity-until
the latter words, when his voice faltered
a little. Thin he led me to the door
and I went out.
Zillah lay on a sofa reading a love
story. Her crisp black hair was tossed
about the crimson cushions, and her
whoie ngure w as that of rich
luxuriance. She had always
fantastic way of dress, and
hastern
rather a
now she
looked almost like a princess out of the
Arabian Nights. Kven though her skin
was that ot half-caste, and her little
hands were not white but brown, there
was no denying that she was a very
lieautiful woman. I felt it saw it
knew it!
After a minute's pause I went to her
side; she jumped up and kissed me. as
she was rather fond of doing. I half
shrank back her kisses were verv pain
ful to me just then. I came as quieklv
as possible to my errand, and gave her
the letter to read.
As she gl meed through it her cheeks
flushed and her lips began to curl. She
threw the letter on mv lap. and said ab
ruptly, "Well, and what of that?""
I began a few necessary explanations.
Zillah stopped me
"Oh. I heard something of the sort
from Mr. French last night. I did not
believe him. nor do I now. He is only
making a jest of me.''
I answered that this was impossible.
In my own mind I was surprised at Zil
Iahs having known the matter before,
and having kept it so quietly. Mr.
French's statement about his honorable
reticence toward the lady of his devo
tions must have been untrue. Still this
was not so remarkable as Zil!ali"s own
secrecy about her having a lover.
"Why did you not tell me. my dear?"
said I; "you know your happiness is of
the first importance to me as well as to
your guardian." And. rather hesitat
ing. I repeated, word by word, as near
as I could. Mr. Sutherland's message.
While I spoke Zillah hid her face
among tlie cushions, and then drew it
out burning red.
"He thinks I am going to accept the
creature then? He would have me
marry a conceited, chattering, mean
looking, foolish hoy!'" (Now Mr.
French was certainly twenty-five.)
"One. too, that only wants me for my
fortune and nothing else. It is very
w rong, cruel, and heartless of him, and
yon may go and tell him so."
"Tell w ho?" said I. bewildered by this
outburst of indignation, ami great con
fusion of personal pronouns.
"Mr. Sutherland, of course! "Who
else would I tell? Whose opinion else
do I care for? Go and say to him
.No." she added, ahruptiy; "no, you
needn't trouble him with anything
about me. Just say I shall not iuarr'y
Mr. French, and he will be so kind as to
give him his answer and bid him let me
alone."
Here, quite exhausted with her
wrath. Zillah sank back, and took her
book, turning her hea 1 from me. But
I saw that she did not read one line,
that her motionless eyes were fixed and
full of strange deep expression. I be
gan to cease wondering w hat the future
would bring.
Very soon afterward I went back to
Mr. Sutherland and told him all that
had passed; just the plain facts, with
out any comments of my own.
lie apparently required none. I found
him sitting composedly with some pa
pers before him he had for the last
ASi'ry J I
few days been immersed in business
which seemed rather to trouble him; he
started a little as I entered, but imme
diately came forward and listened with
ft quiet aspect to the message 1 had to
bring. I could not tell w het her it made
him happy or t he contrary; his counte
nance could be at times so totally im
passive that io friend, dearest or'near--st.
could ever find cut from it anything
ie did not wish to betray.
"The matter is settled then." said he
.'lavely; "I w ill w rite to Mr. French to
lay, and perhaps it would lie as well if
ve never alluded to w hat has passed.
!. at least, shall not do it: tell Zillah so.
Hut in the future, say that I outre it
he keeps no secret back from you. Re
member this, my dear Cassia; watch
over her as you "love her and you do
..ove her?" continued he, grasping my
-land.
I answered that I did. and God knows
yen then I told no lie. She was a very
lear child to me always!
Mr. Sutherland seenied quite satisfied
and at rest. He bade me a cheerful
good-bye, which I knew meant that I
should, go away, so accordingly I went.
Passing the drawing-room door, I saw
Zillah lying in her old position on the
'oi i; so I would not disturb her, but
wt nt and walked up and down under a
clump of lir-trees in the garden. They
made a shadow dark and grave, and
still; it was more natural than being
on the lawn among tlie fiowers. the sun
shine and the bees. I did not come in
for hours.
At dinner there were, fortunately,
only ourselves, just a family party.
Mr. Sutherland did not join us until we
reached the dining-room door. I no
ticed that Zillah's color changed as he
approached, and that all dinner-time
she hardly spoke to him; but he behaved
to her as usual. He was rather thought
ful, for, as he told me privately, he had
some trilling business anxieties burden
ing him just then; otherwise he seemed
the same. Nevertheless, whether it
v as his fault or Zillah's. in a few davs
the fact grew apparent to me that they
were not quite such good friends as
heretofore. A restraint, a discomfort,
a shadow scarcely tangible, vet still
real, was felt between them. " Such a
cloud often rises a mist that comes
just before the day-dawn; or. as hap
pens sometimes, before night.
For many riays how many I do not
recollect, since about this time all in the
house and in the world without seemed
to go on so strangely for manv days
afterward nothing happened o; any con
sequence, except that on Sunday "after
noon I made a faint struggle of'poiite
ness in some remark about "going
home"" and "encroaching on their" hos
piiality," which was met with such evi
dent pain and alarm by ni: parlies, that
I was silent: so y.-. ..tayee -. t l-.-iger:
hie morning ,t was i-.gh s i:ii'iir
now we were sitting at breaklast; we
three only, as Mrs. Sutherland never
rose early. I was making tea. Zillah
near m and Mr. Sutherland at the foot
of the table. He looked anxious and
did not talk much, though I remember
he rose up once to throw a handful of
crumbs lo a half-tame thrush that had
built in a laurel-bush on the lawn he
was always so kind to every living
thing! s
"There, my fine bird. tak some food
home to your wife and weans!" said he,
pleasantly: but at the words, became
grave, even sad, once more. He had
his letters beside him. and opened
them successively until he came to one
a momentous one. I knew, for though
he never move!, but read quietly on,
every ray of color faded out of his "face.
He drooped his head upon his hand, and
sat so long in that attitude that we
were both frightened.
"Is anything the matter?"' I said,
gently, lor Ziiiah was dumb.
"Did you speak?" he answered, with
n bewildering stare. "Forgive me; I
I have had bad news" and he tried to
resume the duties of the im al; but it
was impossible: he was evidently
crushed, as even the strongest and
bravest men will be for the moment un
der some great and upexiected shock.
We said to him I repeat we. because,
though Zillah spoke not, her look was
enough, had he seen it we said to him
those few soothing things that women
can, and ought to say in such a time.
"Aye."' he answered, quite unmanned
"aye. you are vry kind. I think it
would do me good if I could speak, to
some one Cassia, will you come?"
He rosf slowly, and held out hishand
tome. Tome! That proof of his con
fidence, his tenderness, his friendship.
I have ever after remembered, and
thought, with thankful heart, that,
though not made to give him happiness,
I have sometimes done him a little good
when he was in trouble.
We walked together from the room.
I heard a low so' behind us. but had no
power to sta; besides a momentary
pang mattered little to the chi d her
sobs would be hushed ere long.
Standing behind the chair where he
sat. I heard the story of Mr. Suther
land's misfortunes misfortunes neith
er strange nor rare in the mercantile
world. In one brief word, he was
ruined; that is. so far as a man is ru
ined who has enough left to pav all his
creditors, and start in the world afresh
as a penniless honest man. He told me
this an every-day story; nay, it had
been mv own "father's told it me with
great composure, and I listened with
the same. I was acquainted with all
these kind of business matters of old.
It was very strruge, but I felt no grief,
no pity for his losses. I only fek, on
my own account, a burning, avaricious
thirst for gold: a. frantic envy a mad
longing to have for a single day, a single i
hour, wealth in millions.
""es, it must be so." said he, when,
after talking to me a little more, I saw i
the hard muscles of his face relax, ami ;
he grew patient, ready to bear his
troubles like a man like Andrew i
Sutherland. "Yes. I must eive up i
this house and all my pleasant life here: i
but I can do it since I shall be alone."
And then he added in a low tone: "I
am glad. Cassia, verv glad of two
things: my mother's safe settlement,
and the winding-up last month of all
my affairs with Miss Le Poor.''
"When. "said I. altera pause "when
do you intend to tell Zillah what has I
happened?" I felt feverishly anxious i
that she should know all. aiid that I i
should learn how she would act. I
"Tell Zillah? Ave." he repeated, j
"tell l.er at once tell her at once." i
And then he sunk back into his chair, i
muttering some thing about "its signify
ing little now.'
1 left him. and with mv heart nerved, '
as it were, to anything, "went back to I
tlie room where Zillah was. Her eves j
met me with a bitter, fierce, jealous 1
look jealous of me. the foolish child! i
until I told her what had happened to
our friend. Then she wept, "but only
for a moment, until a light broke upon j
her. j
"What does it signify?" cried she,
echoing, curiously enough, his own i
words. "I am of age I can do just j
what 1 like: I will give mv guardian all !
my money. Go back and "tell him so!" ,
I hesitated. j
"Go quick, quick! all I have in the
world is n-'t too gooil for him. Every- j
thing belonging to me is his. and " '
Here she stopp d, and catching my !
fixed looked, became covered with con- !
fusion. Still the generous heart did i
not waver. "And w lien he has my for
tune, you and I will go and live togeth- '
t-r, aim be governesses." j
I felt the girl was in earnest nor j
wished to deceive me: and though I let
tier deceive herself a little longer, it was
SI. BO and
with ioy-aye with joy, that in the
heart I clasped to mine was such un
Pelhshness such true nobility, not un
worthy even of the bliss it was about
to Will.
I went once more through the hall
the long, cool, silent, hall, which I trod
so dizily, daring not pause into Mr
Sut norland's presence.
"Well!" said he. looking up.
I told in what words I cannot now
remember; but solemnly, faithfullv as
if I were answering mv" account before
heaven the truth, and the whole
truth.
He listened, pressing his hands upon
his eyes, and then gave vent to one
heavy sigh, like a woman's sob. At
last he rose and walked feebly to the
door. There he paused, as though to
excuse his going.
"I ought to thank her. you know. It
must not be not by any'means; still I
ought to go and thank her the dear
child!"
His voice censed, broken bv emotion.
Once more h- held out his hand; I
grasped it, and said, "Go!"
At the parlor-door he stopped, appar
ently for nie to precede him in enter
ing there; I nt. as if accidentally, i
passed on and let him enter alone.
Whether he knew it or not. I knew
clear as light what would happen then
and there.
The door shut. the two being with
in, and I without.
In an hour I came back toward the
house.
I had been wandering somewhere, I
think under the tirwood. It was broad
noon, but I felt very cold; it was al
ways cold under those trees. had no
way to pass but near the parlor win

made nie look up as I went bv.
They were standing they "tyvo close
together, as lovers stand. His arm

yet trembling with tend. rnpss. was

I am half inclined to h'vt out the last
sentence, ns. growing older, one feels
the mere how rarely and how solemnly
the Holy Nam ought to be mingled
with any mere burst of human emotion.
But I think the All-merciful One would
pardon it then. Of course no reader
will marvel at uty showing emotion
over the union of fTiese my two dearest
objects on earth.
From that union I can now trulv say
I have derived the greatest comfort of
my life. They were married quickly,
as I urged: Mr. Sutherland sett ling his
wife's whole property upon herself.
This was the only balm IPs manly pride
couid know, and no greater proof could
he give of his passu -oate love for her,
than that he humble! himself to marry
an heiress. As to what the world
thought, no one could ever suspect the
shadow of nn reen.'.rv ie-1, ng' in An

be and so best.
After Zillah's marriage. I took a situ

not live an idle life on any account. So
they let me go, knowing, as he smiling
ly said, "That ( 'assia could be obstinate
when she cho-e-that her w.ll, iike her
heart, was as firm as a rock." Ah me!
When I came back, it was to a calm,
contented and cheertul middle age: to
the home of a dear brother and sister;
to the love of a new generation; to a
life filled with peace of heart and
thankfulness toward God: to

Tin; iiEcoiiniNV, stock.
The incidents which I am about to
narrate occur; e l some two years ago. It
was toward the close of an exhausting
season. I had striven for some months
to perform that feat known as " keeping
one's end np." I had tried to keep my
end up. Tl ere is n concurrent and con
temporaneous testimony to the etlect
that I dil not keep my end up.
LfOoking back on it now seems
to me that 1 kept two or three ends up.
I kept my end up at afternoon teas. I
kej t my end up at early m.-rning suppers.
I was np before and after the lark. I
generally ma-iagcd to s'-e tho moon to bod.
I do ii"t know whether I make this clear
to you. As I said, perhaps I had ought
to have left the subject to a scientiiif
man. Any scientilic man could explain
that this sort of n thing is wearing on
the most i asi.-ir..n constitution.
One d.'wy morning in Februnrv I
slipped into bed jnt us the first milk
cart latlled under my window. I was
verv tired indeed. My eyes were just
closing, when I saw, state 1 upon the foot
of my bed, what I can only describe as a
supernatural visitant.
It Wits a pale gray, mottled spook, about
sixP cu h. ii.ds b -rh. I wasn' afraid of it.
I snld :
" II-.-llo ' who are von '"
" I'm n st oi.':." it replied.
"A 1 light." I said, ' spook when you're
spoken to i; good night." And then I
turned over.
"Where are you going " inquired the
spook.
"lioing to sleep," I toll him.
"Not now. you're not." said the
spook.
" What's to hinder me "' I queried, in a
scientitic spirit.
" I am,'" tho spook said ; "that's what
I'mheie for. I'm the recording spook.
I'm sent here t i wait on you every night,
whoa yea go to bed. and to repeat to you
before you go to sleep every foolish,
conventional, or uius-c--s.,i-y thing that
you have sai l during tho day.''
I mildly intimated that he had a con
tract on hand.
"I have." sai l he, ruM.iiig his hands;
".oil I'm the boy that uin fill it too.
( Cu e now, yn-ing man, roll over so that I
can see you, take your hands out of your
eyes, and listen. The entertainment is
gnngto begin right now, and the cur
tain's up."
1 groaned. I might as well have whis
tled. "Let's see," said the spook, grinning
hideously and rubbing his hands: "let's
see. bin met Jones at the club this
morning. You.hadn't seen Jones in two
days, and what did you say to Jones

'"(Jo away," said I; " I want to goto

But he didn't go aw ay. He went he
went on.
"Then you went to the Turkish bath,
didn't you-' And 3 on went into the hot

Hoblnson there, eh ? And what did you
say to Kobinson ?"
I said that I didn't remember.
"You do remember said the spook;
"you said : ' Is it hot enough for you
that's what you said. You didn't happen
to think of any other way of making an
idiot of yourself just at the moment, so
you said that. Well.it filled the bilk"
That is the way he began, that spook,
and he kept it up until daylight. He
didn't see 111 to get tired, either. He just
kept it up. talking away in that easy,
pleasant, convers ..ional manner, telling
me all the Idiotic things I said that day.
I rolled about and tried to bury my ears
in the pillows. Then I tried to bury the
pillows in my ears. It was of no use.

died. Hut one night T came home and found
that spook swollen to twice his .rig nil
proportions. I J is head was bobbing up
against the ceiling, an.l there was a gnu
of lieadish malice on his fare.
I knew what was the matter. I knew
ho had me. too. That evening I had met,
for the f:nt time, a certain young lady,
and I felt, as one does sometimes feel ia
such cases without aruh.g about it, or
making any iuvestiiiticu i:,to t!u sub
ject that without l.er my life would be a
barren blank, not to speak about a desert
waste. I suppose that Is what is called

He fairly fastened on me from that time
on. "Sweets to sweets," he would say.
"That's w hat you said to her when yoa
gave her the rose. Why, the girl must
think you a perfect imbecile."
" She doesn't." I would explain. "She.
told a friend of mine that I w as a brilliant
conversationalist.
"Oh. you're a brilliant conversation
ist:" he would shrink, "and did the bril
liant conver-ationiNt brill this evening.
The brilliant conversationist asked her ii
she didn't think the rooms were very

I didn't care, though. I have no uts
for a man who tan be in loe ;u.d not
make a f.ol of himself. And I was
happy.
And the end came. There was ono
night when I got home and found th
spook swelled to such proportions t! he
filled the apartment. I had lo walk
through him to get to lei. His gray,
mottled sides shook with hysterical laugh

distended eyes. He pointed his finger at

He never had it. His mem..iy had got
an overdose of 10 in eisa'.i. n il idiocy, and

Prof. IMt-hard A. Proctor, the Mnplish

has ben particularly serviceable in the
proof it affords of the law of gravitation.
It proves, too, w hat the world h:is been in
remote ages of the past and what it will
be in remote ages to come. Its most sig
nificant serviie to man has l-een as a
measurement of time. The only jercepti

moon's course is that of attrai tion, by
which its, route in space Is slightly deviat

we may inform onrsdves of the course of

to sup; ose that our present c-oudiihui w as

surface is a sterile, rocky n;as. The at

going on with our earth, and a similar
result will eventually ensue, but by reason
