LANCASTER PAILY jagOELIJGaByCEH, MUD AY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1882. Uancastcr fntell&encer. FRIDAY KVKNINO, SEPT. 8, 1882, OX THE BRIDtiE; fir, Jasper lBgrara's UevotloD. ETXBASK COSTIGAX Written for the Istzllxqexcer. Down by St Cuthbert's creek, in tho shadows of the giant oaks, once monarebs of a forest primeval, lay the quiet village of St. Cuthberts. A quaint old town with scattering houses, whose slanting gables, mosaicked with soft, green moss, testified that the hand of Time had lingered lov ingly on the place, hiding with emerald bands, the ravages it had made. There was a charm about the spot, a shadow of peace and rest. Tho church bell rang the Angelas softly, and tho sound .dwelt upon the air, as if conscious that in pausing it would ascend on the wings of softly breathed prayer amid tho flood of rosy light, which, striking across the gray church tower fell athwart St. CuthDert's bridge, now half in ruins, and almost hid from view by tho drooping boughs of cypress and graceful festoons of the trumpet Ilower and clematis, which formed a bower " worthy of a maiden's dream, or of a poet in his youth." Half leaning on tho railinc and idly scattering the white bloom of clematis on tho sun-kissed waters, stood Ruth Arm sted, a slender girl, with a ilower faco and great dark eyes, now lowly drooped boneath Jasper Ingrain's tender gazo. As tho last tones of the Angelus died on the evening air, the young girl raised her eyes to her companion's, aud said laughingly is the bridgo. Do you know two trains havo stopped and passed the station while you have been waiting for one '.' " " No, I know nothing of it." answered her lover, imprisoning her flower-laden hands in bis-. " Why should I ? llavo you not bewitched mo? I have been for the last ten minutes you say it is two hours in a trauco, unconscious of murmuring waters, waving boughs or passing bells, only knowing I have won what two short mouths ago I dared not dream might be mine. I little thought when I wandered hero this evening I was to find my long sought treasure." "This is a favorite resort of mine," sho answered. "I come hero every evening to listen to tho Angelus. I cannot tell how dear this spot aud the old church boll have become to me. It always rings in the evening as I reach the bridge and it seems a dillereut bell from that which rings for our woes and joys. A mystic spirit voice that haunts alone this fairy nook." "lias it ever rung so joyous a peal? Has its voice ever been so prophetic of joy and gladness as tonight, Ruth?" asked Jasper, bending to gazo in the blushing face half turned away. Tho reply was low, so low that he drew her still closer to hear it. ' Never. The sound seems to hover over and around us to pause as if it lingered to bear our vows above. Yet," sho added almost sadly, as tho last sound faded afar off in the distance, "it seemed to blend with the sad moaning of the piur s. ,1 felt as if it was too jovous a peal ever to fall upon my ear again." " Put aside such sad fancies, love," he said cniisMugly. 4 Hcnseforth St. Cuth bert's ISridge will bo to mo a hhrine, aud when I win my fortune I shall cioct, here tic though I be, a votive altar in thanks giving for a prayer granted here, whilo tit. Cuthbert's belfry shall have such a now Tangled set of chimes that ho will bo wanting the Angelus rung all hours in the day." By the time your fortune cames, Jas per," was tho laughing reply, "You may think you owe St. Cuthhert no debt of gratitude. Petrucbio's Kato may be a patirnt Utiselda compared to me." "I'll take tho risk, darling. I wonder what you. saw in such a penniless scrape grace as I am, to prefer mo over Roger Fenwick ? Ho has every thing in his favor wealth, station, fame, and the bravest, truest heart that ever beat in man's bosom. While I am minus all that a fond mamma would desire in a son-in-law," ho added tcasiugly, not noticing how tho fair girl paled and trembled at tho mention of Roger Fcnwick's name. " Do you know, little ono. I would long ago have put my fate to the touch, but my gratitude to Fenwick sealed my lips. I know that he loves his little ward with all the strength of his strong, proud na ture, I fancied you might lore, or learn to love him ; so I hid my feelings ; or at least tried to hide them," lie added, interpreting the saucy glance of her bright oyes : " and resolving never to 6taud be tween your guardian and tho most cher ished wish of his heart, for I owe him as heavy a debt of gratitude as man can owo another. It iB a sad story," ho continued ; his voicoticmhling witli emotion. "A meie youth, I was tempted almost beyond my strength, when ho stepped between me and crime eternal disgrace to my name even death. Don't tremble or sbriuk from me, my darling. Through him I was saved from the sin. the misery orthe deed that would have blackened aliko both soul and life. I owe all to him, and when I realized the gulf from which ho had drawn me, I made a vow that if ever I could servo him lire's dearest wishes, yea, even life itself should be sacrificed if it need be, to do so. You now know why, loving you as I do, I never spoko uutil you told mo his hopes were vain. I could not break the vow I made. The deep obligation I owo him, even now, makes mo feel as ir I am wronging him in trying to win you from him," Jasper, you do not know how haid I tried to lovo him," Ruth murmured through her tears. " Ho has been all that a brother could be since the hour my dying father placed me in his charge. Tender and loving, watcbiug over mo with almost a woman's care and, and when last night ho asked mo to bo his wife, and would not hear my no, but said he would wait in hopes of success, I tried to think I loved him, but but." " But you knew your heart was mine, mine alone, to have and hold until death do us part," Jasper said with almost fierce joy, as he pressed his farewell kiss on her trembling lips. As if in answer to bis words there broke upon the air the sound of St. Cuthbert's bell. Not a joyous wedding peaL Not the measured strokes of three times three, that spoke of Gabriel's greeting unto tho hand maiden of tho Lord but the slow, solemn toiling of the passing bell. Deep and slow the sound smote the air, driving before it the lingering rays of the dying sun lengthening in darker, deeper gloom tho black shadows of the cypress boughs. Ruth's face turned as whito as winter moonlight, and the lips, pressed to those of her lover, grew icy cold. " There is a dirge for my rival's hopes." said Jasper with a forced laugh ; but see ing bow pale Ruth had grown he added anxiously: "Do not look so like a snow wreath, Ruth;; and as ifyou think yonder bell's sad sound will dim tho brightness of our life. Come, smile, or I shall fancy my pet is superstitions." "A woman's love is in itself supersti tion, Jasper," murmured Ruth, as press ing her to his heart her lover tore himself away and was soon lost amid the evenhv shadows. Lost in sweet reveries, Ruth lingered on the bridge, gazing dreamingly down the stream, over which the high banks, fritted away by the washing of the watcis, hung like shelves. Suddenly two forms appeared, standing in bold relief agi-insl Ibc bltip sky. A thrill of fear crept over her as she recognized in them Roger Fenwick and his bitter enemy, Edward Ord. Foes yor fears, at school, in the arena of political life, their rival ship, intensified by the bitterness of a family feud, banded down from generation to generation. Well might the young girl tremble at a rencounter between them. Their voices reached her cars and there was a ring of hot ire in,her guardian's tones as he or dered his companion to quit tho spot or else he would throw him over the bank. A few fierce words were interchanged and then Roger Fenwlck's arm was raised high in the air and blows fell in rapid suc cession. She hid her faco to shut out the horrible sight, aud when she raised her head again tho combatants were no longer in view. A thick screen of shrubs inter vened and him them from her sight, but she heard a dull, heavy splash in tho waters beneath, and a few minutes after saw Roger Fenwick walking slowly back towards Morccombo Court. A nameless terror seized Ruth. Sho knew not' how long sho stood spell-bound on tho fatal spot, gazing-, as if in a trance, upon the high cliff with its trailing, ser-pent-like vines. The chill air of the even ing warded her that might was coming on ; and turning, she glided ghost-like through the mist, unconscious of all around her not noticing tho curious glance a workman, wbowaspassinj, threw upon her deathly white lace. As she dragged herself wearily up tho broad steps, that led to tho portico at Morecombe, she found herself iu tho presence of her guardian, who, with far away look in his cold gray eyes, stood leaning against ono of the rose-entwined pillars. He started at tho sound of her step, and turning towards her, said fret fully : "Ruth, I wish you would not stay out so lats. Where have you been ?" "I was down at tho bridge, Mr. Fen wick," she answered, raising her eyos to his, expecting to sco some change pass over his 'faco ; but in this she was disap pointed. His ieaturcs were perfectly calm as he said with half a smile : "Thoibridge has an attraction for you of late, Ruth. I must admit, however, I do not altogether approve of tho long ctc-a-tcte held there this evening. Tryst ing places, I believo, went out of stylo with the shepherds and shepherdesses. Theyoang ladies of our present unromautic age aro expected to entertain wandering youths in tho drawing-room." His light bantering tonos were to Ruth tho refinement of cruelty. Sho gazed horror-stricken at him. Had sho fallen asleep on tho bridge and been dreaming ? Could he whom sho knew so long, so loved, so venerated, be guilty of his black crime, and yet bo so calm, was tho thought that flashed like an arrow of firo through her brain. "Why, child, how whito you are," ho exclaimed as he caught a glimpse of her faco. " Are you ill ? You aro trembling like an aspen loaf." Howgcntlo his voico grow, as taking her hands in his ho tondcrly placed her in a chair and bent anxiously over her, not seeing how sho shrank from his touch. "Thoro is nothing tho mattor, only, only oh, Mr. Fenwick, you know." " I know what, Ruth? I only know for tho last two hours you and Jasper Ingram havo been lingeriug on tho bridgo, trying your futures I suppose, by floating flowers, each with a hope unsaid, on tho stream. I believo that is tho approved way of divin ing tho future in love's young dream." " God prant no shallops freighted with hopes of mino went down that stn-atu." sho replied bitterly. "I hope not, Inovor want your hopes to float beyond tho old homo here. I told you I would wait patiently, Ruth, but at tho sight of your troubled laco to night a great fear has seized my soul. Uuth, Ruth, did you answer mo as you did last night, becauso Jasper Ingram has won?" Asthe last words fall from his lips, tho young girl sprang impetnously to her foot, maaacneu almost with rage aud grief and at her ineffectual efforts to make hi in un derstand sho had witnessed that evening's crime To havo him speak to her of his love, whilo tho blood of his victim was yet now upon his hands, seemed a night mare, and it was with horror sho bioko from his detaining hand and rassinr like a flash of light, disappeared through tho oaken door. It was with surprise, almost borderinir on amazement, that Roger Fenwick gazed alter uis waru ; ana as sho entered tho hall it was as if a great joy and light had gone from him. Until within tho last hour ho had never thought of her, but as a part of his own life. A helpless child, her dying father had placed her iu his arms. Sho had grown up in his home : making it bricrht and beautiful with her winning ways and winsome mien. When he had told her, sho was all to him and fouud as ho thought, her heart an unopened flower, ho never dreamed, that tho sun beams of another love had crcnt beneath its petals ; only that she was too young, too shy, to read her own heart aright. In life, to him, there had been " no such word as fail," and ho smilingly mused as ho gazed in tho future, ho saw this fair girl his bride. "I'll wait" he had said, but, to-night he had read iu her white soared faco that Jasper Ingram had won that lvo which he blindly trusted iu time would be his He saw not tho azony of pitying lovo and fear tho honor and misery written there.
