Juiet Rulli ; or, Given Rack.
She -was very quiet, my friend Ruth
Earle. Repose was in every line of her
graceful form and every feature of her
pretty face. The soft waving hair, brown
in the shadow and flecked with pale golden
gleams when the sun shone upon it ; the
solemn blue eyes, the straight white brew
an very quiet te intensity, she never
blushed, or trembled, or went into ecstatics
of admiration, or fear or fun ; her smile
rose en her face and lit it, as the full moon
does the sky en a still summer night, and
every tone of her voice was low and musi
cal. Seme called her cold, but I who
knew her se well would have laughed at
them. In one sentence she could embody
the sentiments another girl would have
spent an hour in delineating. In one
glance she could reveal a perfect tempest
01 joy. or love, or scorn ; but the glances
were rare, and the words rarer, but Ruth's
heart was usually a sealed casket te all
about her. A quiet interest and sympathy
in ethers' weal and wee, a peaceful sort of
happiness only these were en the surface
and the torrent of emotion rolled en silent
ly beneath.
Why, of all the men en earth, Ruth
.should have given her heart te my cousin,
Charley Campbell, I could net guess. Hew
he liery and emotional te a degree, act-
my en impulse altogether, ievmg every
thing that dashed and glittered and made
a noise, adoring martial music and passion
ate poetry, and always smitten by talka
tive, black-haired, waltzing, coquetting
belles ever fell in love with quiet Ruth
Earle was still a stranger problem. When
encinc August evening he bounced into
our parlor, where I was sitting alone, and
informed me without parley or preface,
that he was engaged te "Ruth, I in my as
tonishment, exclaimed : "I should as seen
have imagined a mad bull engaged te a
ring ileve ?" and was very sorry after
wards, fit was such a foolish, singular
speech. Still, it did describe my feelings
exactly.
Everyone wendeied. Yeung girls
" wondered what he could see in such a
quiet girl;" young gentlemen "won
dered hew she could like Mich a wild
scapegrace."' But when, at last, she came
te me one day, and, with both hands in
mine, said, ' Mary, you de net knew hew
dear he is te me he is my life," I wen
dered no longer, for I knew that Ruth had
given him one of these irresistible, uncon
scious glances of hers, and shot him
through the heart.
I think they were, very happy all that
bright autumn; and when the winter
came, the quiet contentment of Ruth's
face deepened, and every evening he was
at her side, reading, or singing, or talking
te her in soft loving whispers. AVas she
taming down my wild cousin? Could
mortal woman de such a seemingly im
possible thing? Were all the wild eats
sewn all the scrapes ever ? It seemed se.
Uic careless boy was maturing into the
high-bred man ; passionate and impulsive
still, but with better aims and higher prin
ciples. The winter rolled away, the bright
spring came, and when the fragcant apple
blossoms were upon the trees, Ruth told
me that the day was appointed for her
bridal, and we rode out together one
morning te purchase satin, and lace, and
muslin, for the bride's attire. Going home
together with the parcels stewed away in
the bottom of the vehicle, we met Cousin
Charley, his cheeks aglow and his eyes
dancing with suppressed merriment. He
waved his hand te us and we paused.
"Take me in, won't you," he said,
pleadingly. "I have been te call upon you
and of course Ubund you 'net at home.'
Yeu have a seat for me, I knew."
I signified my approval, and he jumped
in and seated himself beside Ruth.
"The Petal' came j in te-day," he
said, as we drove along. Did you hear
the guns? She is a line vessel, just from
India, with a set of the yellewest passen
gers you ever saw. Liver complaint is as
common among them as among French
geese, and pepper is the chief article of
their diet. Such tempers as they have,
tee ; it would puzzle Ruth herself te keep
quiet among them."
" Hew de you knew se much about
them ?" I enquired.
" Oh, I've been te breakfast with one of
their number," replied Charley; "an old
nabob who is as rich as he is ugly, and
who has the handsomest wife by the
way, an old schoolmate of yours, Mary."
" Who is she ?" I asked.
He replied by another question" De
you remember Kate Glynn ?"
" Kate Glynn ? Yes. Isshe the nabob's
wife ?"
t 1 if- . i X 1
course sue is. 1 met Her coming
off the beat this morning. She knew me
at once. We had a desperate flirtation
long age. She is one of the red-het, mad
cap girls I used te like before I knew my
snowbird here, and my face remained in
her memory. She introduced me te her
husband, and he invited me te breakfast. I
revenged myself for the spices which
burned my tongue, by burning the old
fellow's heart with jealousy, and talking
mysteriously of old times. He did nel
invite me te call again ; but she did, and
I am going."
"Charles Campbell. I am ashamed of
you," I said.
"Oh, it's all nonsense, Mary," said
Charley. " Here is my safeguard ;" and
his arm stoic about Ruth's shoulder se
decidedly, that I was obliged te change
places with him immediately en account
of the publicity of the street.
Throughout that ride he seemed te over
flow with merriment. He imitated the
old man's manner, his conversation and
his frown ; told extravagant stories of the
lady's smiles and attentions, and made us'
laugh by a description of the saucer eyes
of the nabob's black servant who waited
ncliinil ins chair. Ruth smiled placidly
upon him all the while, and seemed per
fectly contented with his account of the
flirtation.
" What shall I de when you elope with
the nabob's lady?" she said, as we alight
ed. "Fellow me and sheet me through the
head with a revolver," answered Charley.
"It would ba easier te elope myself
with the nabob," returned Ruth, quietly.
' Yeu would net be worth sheeting."
"There .speke Ruth," laughed her
lever. "Yeu would never break your
heart ever me, snow-bird. " And, some
how, a sort of dissatisfied tone was in his
voice, as he uttered the word at least, I
imagined there was ; but it was gene before
he had handed us out of the carriage.
We working en the bridal outfit slowly.
Day by day the dainty garments grew be
neath our fingers. We sat together in a
little quiet room, looking gardenward,
which Ruth called her own. The window
opened inward, and a red rose vine with
out fluttered its leaves and fragrance in
upon us. Seft lace was looped about it and
about the bed. The fleer was covered
with white matting. There was a great
" sleepy hollow, " or a chair, in one cor
ner, and a marble stand against the wall.
Over the mantel hung the picture of a
sleeping child. It was a quiet room, just
fit for quiet Ruth, and as she sat in the
soft shadow of the fine branches, sending
the needle in and out of the snowy muslin"
and humming a low, plaintive tune, I used
te think that I never saw any one se beau
tiful. Charley came every evening ; and as I
watched the two sauntering arm-in-arm
by the river side, or sitting bv the niane
singing together, or listening te each ether,
I used te please myself with fancying the
nappy niarneu me wincli lay before them.
And still the wedding day drew neared,
and the orange flowers which were te deck
Ruth's hair were budding in the conservatory.
Charley's old uncle, a wealthy bachelor,
who had adopted him in his boyhood, was
often with us. He seemed te take an al
most fatherly pi ide in Ruth's gentle beauty
and purity. And I knew of a rich trousseau
which was in preparation for the comin" cemin"
day. Hew peacefully happy we all were.
I have often wondered since that there
were no omens in the sky, no whispers in
the air, no black clouds anywhere, te warn
us of the coming storm.
I steed en the verandah one niirht, loot.
mg at me moon. uiiariey had bidden
adieu te Ruth, and was going away down
the path. At the gate he paused for me.
Wrapping my shawl about me I went
down and steed beside him. Xevcr in my
life had I seen sorrow seated beside Char
ley Campbell : but she was with him new.
His eyes were heavy, his cheeks flushed,
his head bowed upon his besom. I looked
at him in terror without the power of
uttering a word. He spoke first.
" Mary," he said, " de veu believe that
Ruth loves me ?"
" As her life," I an.-w.ired, " I am sure
of it."
He shook his head. "lam net," said
he. " When a woman loves she blushes
and trembles ; she can never wear se cold
and placid a face, se unperturbed a mien,
she is quickly jealous quickly moved te
tears. The passionate love of a waim
hcaitcd woman passes all things. Mary, I
de net believe Ruth ever loved 111c, or will
ever love any one."
"Have you had a miarrcl?" I asked
breathlessly.
"A quarrel? Xe! I wish we had. A
quarrel would show some feeling te be
touched. Ruth is a beautiful, lovable
creature tee geed for a wild fellow like
me ; but a man might as well worship
a marble statue. She is freezincr. She
chills inc."
"Yen are speaking blasphemy?" I
gasped, "Ruth is an angel.
"I like a spice of the devil," muttered
Charley, " Wed, no matter. I'm a feel,
perhaps. Goodbye, Mary. Whether
Ruth loves me or net, I have loved her. I
suppose that should content me."
He was gene among the shrubbery and
I went back te Ruth with a deadly horror
at my heart. When he came again he was
the same as before, and seemed te have
forgotten the conversation utterly.
I had net called en the nabob's lady, nor
she en me. We never suited each ether.
Rut I caught a glance of her carriage often,
and three times had I seen Charley's face
looking out of the window as it rolled by.
And, at last, a faint breath of seand.il
reached my care, and I heard the name of
that bold, handsome woman mingled with
Charley Campbell's in a way I did net like.
Ruth heard nothing of it, however, and
the wedding day was close at hand.
It came at last. The guests were there.
Music and flower-perfume filled the house.
In her own room, Ruth Earle, dressed in
her floating robes and veil, waited for the
bridegroom's coming. I heard, as I sat by
me winnow, the quicK roll el a luneusly
driven caniage. It paused at the gate.
Seme one leaped out and rushed alenir the
path and up the stairs. The deer was
dashed wildly open and Charley's uncle
steed amongst us. He held a written
paper in his hand and his eyes started from
his head with passion.
"He is gene!" he shouted "Gene
with that wicked woman. He has dared
te write and tell me se. I have disinherited
him, and I curse him with every curse that
can light en man. Mav he beir his bread
from deer te deer ! May eh, Ged !"
The wild voice broke, and he fell with
bleed starting from his lips, full length
upon the fleer. When we raised him he
was dead. In the letter clutched bv his
uncle's stiffened fingers we read the
words :
"When you read this I shall be far
away. I fly te-night with the only woman
whoever loved me. Ferme she lifts left
home and honor, as I have for her. Tell
Ruth peer Ruth ! whom I have used se
ill that I never deceived her. I loved her
truly, but her cold love froze out my affec
tion, pure, as I knew it was ; while this
erring, passionate heart with which I fly is
mine entirely. She will seen be happy
with another I knew happier than I shall
ever be anil will forget, ere long, that
there ever breathed one se unworthy of
her thoughts as I.
" Ciiakles Campbell."
There were screams and tears and terror
in the house ; but there, upon the fleer,
sat Ruth pale and motionless, her bride's
veil dabbled in the dead man's bleed, and
her eyes closed as though she never wished
te open them.
People said she bore it bravely, when
they saw her, in a little while, quietly as
busy as before. When the will was opened,
and it was found that Charley Camp
bell had been disinherited, and all the
prepei ty was left te Ruth, they spoke of
it as an act of justice, and thought that
all was ever ; but I, and I only, knew of
the canker worm eating at the young heart
day and night.
Six months passed by, and we heaid
nothing of the false lever. We never
spoke of him te Ruth, orameng ourselves,
and all the love I ever felt for him had
had turned te scorn.
At last one day a letter reached me. It
was pest-marked C , and was from a
comparative stranger, who had written te
me as Charley's only relative. Oh ! what a
talc was recorded in these lines. I can only
give the substance. The two had fled te
Europe at first ; thence, when dread of
pursuit was ever, they had returned te
this country. Then for the first they had
heard of the less of Charley's fortune and
poverty seemed staring them fully in the
face. Their debts accumulated and the
change in circumstances brought change
of affection. They quarreled madly, each
reproached the ether, and the white hand
of the woman was often raised against the
man she once professed te love. Sin
branded, beggared, peer Charley Camp
bell paid the penalty of his crime, and
worse was yet te come.
They were in a carriage one day, driving
toward a dwelling place, for debt had
turned them from the old one. They were
quarreling in suppresed voices, and look
ing het hate into each ether's eyes, when
a sight arose before them that struck them
dumb with horror. There, in the middle
of the read, steed the woman's injured
husband, with a pistol in his hand, aiming
straight at them. Whether he meant te
fire at her was never known ; but the ball
entered her heart, and she fell forward
with a scream. The explosion of the
pistol frightened the horse; he became
unmanageable, and dashed forward down
the hill, crushing the driver beneath the
wheels, and stamping en and mangling
him. "We think him dying new," the
writer continued. "His right arm has
been amputated, and he is prostrated by
pain and less of bleed. He has need of
the friends whom he has se much offended ;
will you forgive him and come te him ?"
The letter fell from my trembling fin
gers. Ruth had stolen te my side unseen,
and had read it also. Down at my feet
she kncltjfand buried her face in my lap as
might a grieving child. Xeither of us
shed a tear, but wc sat thus for an hour in
utter silence. At last she spoke.
me that you will grant it."
" Anything, darling, I replied.
1 1" Let me go with you," she murmured.
" Let us nurse him if he is suffering, and
ne witn liim te the last if he should die.
He -was almost my husband once, my dear.
Oh, take me with you !"
" De you remember hew he has wrong
ed you, Ruth ?" I asked.
"Mary," she answered, rising te her
feet, " de net misunderstand me. I would
net leave him knew my presence. I de
net seek te bring myself te his remem
brance. I will go with you as a maid or
nurse ; a coarse dress, a servant's can. and
the curtained light of a sick room, will keep
me irem ins Knowledge. If he recover he
shall never knew that I have been near
him. I only seek te see him once again,
and de him what little geed I can, for
I loved him very dearly, Mary very, very
dearly ! "
Who could withstand her ? We were off
next morning by the first conveyance, Ruth
already wearing the servant's dress, and
hidden further still beneath a close bonnet
and veil.
I had thought that nothing could have
softened my heart te Charley Campbell,
but 1 was mistaken when I saw him lying
before me, scarred and maimed, the
shadow of his handsome self. My tears
fell fast and I gave him my hand as in the
old times, when I trusted in his honor and
virtue. He was thankful for my presence,
and whispered a faint word of welcome ;
but before night fell he was delirious and
knew no one about him.
Oh, the long days that followed ! I shall
never forget them. And through all Ruth
never left his pillow. When all the rest
shrunk from the wild ravings and the uj)
raised arm of delirium,she never wavered ;
no toil nor vigil did she spare ; and when,
at last, he lay quiet and weak upon his
pillow, her hand brought the invigorating
draught and lifted up the weary, helpless
nauu. Aim tins was the heart he had
deemed cold !
One day wc sat teirether. Ruth anil T.
beside the window, and Charley seemed te
sleep. Suddenly he stirred and called te
me. I bent ever him in an instant.
" Mary, " he said, " I have something
te say te you something which lies very
heavily at my heart. If I should die with
out uttering it my soul could never rest.
Mary, you remember when I left Ruth.
Yeu knew hew I felt then. I believed
her cold. I thought that in the het pas
sion of the woman I lied with I had found
true love. 1 must have been mad, I think,
ler eh ! hew bitterly I have rued that be
lief. Mary, when you see Ruth Earle,!tell
her this, and, tell her, tee, that long, long
since I have discovered that she was my
only love that in threwiujr awav her
pure womanly affection I lest the richest
jewel in my life. "
The weids were uttered softly, but
Ruth's ear had caught them ; she steed in
the shadow where he could net sec her
and listened.
" Through all my fever I have thought
of her, "he went en, "and at times I have
thought she steed beside me. Then I
would strive te ask her forgiveness, but
the sweet vision always faded, and a
strange nurse was there instead, Mary, de

s me? She should,
you think Ruth
fm' T rlncnrfrt if "
Oh ! the mute appeal of these clasped
hands and streaming eyes en the ether side
of the couch ! I knew their meauing, and
I answered as they bade mc ; "Ne, Char
Icy, I knew that Ruth has forgiven you."
"Forgiven me ! yes ; for she is an angel.
But never, never can she love me again
never shall the link my own hand has
broken be reunited. A mutilated beggar,
scarred in face and heart, even were the
past blotted out, she never could be mine.
0 Ruth ! my injured, patient, loving Ruth,
1 would give all the world beside te held
you fur one moment te my breast te
press your soft lips te mine but once
again."
She had stolen from the shadow; she
crept toward the bed ; she outstretched
both arms toward him, as a mother might
seek te clasp once mere her lest child ;
and still something held her back from
the besom where she longed te nestle.
Again he spoke, and this time he
uttered only her name: "Ruth, Ruth,
Ruth?" but het tears were in his eyes,
and they broke the spell which kept her
from him. The coarse cap lay en the
ground, the golden hair fell ever her white
forehead Jin heavy glittering masses, and
with a low, tremulous cry she cast her
arms about him, pillowed his thin check
en her besom, and gave back te Charley
Campbell the quiet heart he had se well
deserved te lese forever.
He has it still, and it is very dear te him,
se dear that I believe no words could tell
its value. Sitice the hour when the words
were spoken which united them forever,
each has tmsted in the ether te the utter
most, and there arc no happier people in
the whole length and breadth of the land
than Charley and his " Quiet Ruth."
