The feather fun was not exactly wha
HVe should cull a fun in these days. I
■was more like a lire-scrcoii, perhaps
for iL was large and light, ami made by
a double row of short white .ostrich
feathers being stuck round half a circle
of wood japanned and gilded, about
three inches in diameter, and having a
rather long handle. Through a hole
bored in the end of this handle a cord
of gold threads and black silk passed,
and tliis cord was fastened together by
a wonderfully beautiful tassel, into
which seed pearls were looped, and lit
tle stars of gold. To prevuntthe feathfers
getting out of shape and disengaged at
their ends, a very thin wire, covered
with white silk, was passed between
them two inches perhaps from the
outer circle, and to this end the leatlieis
■were fastened, hack to hack, by a little
device of seed pearls on one side and a
gold star on the other,—such was the
such a fan Isabella of Spain, the
wife of the Archduke Albert, held in her
hand when she visited liubeus in his
■ studio at Antwerp, if we may trust—
.and we certainly may —to history writ
ten with a painter’s colors, and given
,i o the world by the engraver’s tool;
such a fan belonged to women who wore
mil's like Queen Elizabeth, with modi
fications ■ and long, stifl'-stomaehered
.'owns, and velvet cloaks witlistifl'edg
rugs. They, too, liud pull's of fair satin
and lace round their delicate wrists, and
hair turned oil their foreheads and kept
sale in a velvet cap, which gave a happy
excuse lor banding their heads with
gold, and such other precious tilings as
they hud power to command.
And after these tilings passed away,
and Vandyke had told the world how
point lace should showoii face and neck
in man and woman by lying fiat, and
turning over on the dress of cloth or
velvet Still the feather fan was used,
such as J have described tp you, and
such as lam going to write about. It
was a lau to attract any one’s attention,
even the attention of a nou-fan-Hirting
animal, even of a man like myself. I
--exclaimed when I saw it, “ What a
fan!" .
“ Yes,” saidasweetly grave and rather
■more than middle aged lady, speaking
without looking up from a mauuserpt
•which she was unrolling, all lines and
■names ami figures; “ yes,”—giving a
glance from her soft brown eyes over
her spectacles, —"it is the lan you see
in tlie picture.’'
“ What picture',’”
“ Don't you know? The picture over
- the couch,—Dame Jenifer. She was as
odd as her namesake.”
Her namesake, as all tlie world ought
to know, was no other Lhau Guinevere,
the beautiful and maligned wife of
King Arthur. It is a west-country
name • living there, are nowhere else I
believe, like Digory for D'Egare, that
Knight of the Round Table, bo lure
the mighty, even in their names.
Though the lady in the spectacles
was mv' own mother, and though I had
every cause and inclination tobelo\iug
and reverential, I certainly had a
great wish to do battle lor the injured
memory of the great hero’s queen ; bm
there lay the fan,—that and the long
roll of uiauuscript the only things on
the table,—there lay the fan, and it
was the original of the fan in the pic
ture, the fan that Dame Jenifer held.
It' became suddenly an object of im
mense interest to me. We say some
times, when we take up any ancient
piece of finery, preserved from past
times, that we wonder who wore, who
used, who bought, and who treasured
it. But in the case of this fan looking
so fair and light, this beautiful bawble
all gold and pearls,—/ knew who had
used it; and turning my eyes to the
picture, f saw her there.
“Dame Jenifer,”— always when Isay
these words they seem to describe to
my ear a very stilt’ sort of stuck
up personage, bristling with self-impor
tance, tenacious of power, persecuting
in temper, and of evil prophecy as to
what the lives of the young around her
would turn out. But when I then look
ed at Dame Jenifer, the eye corrected
the ear A girl of seventeen, perhaps,
sat on’a sofa in a costume resembling
t,|,at of “ Rubens’ wife.” The chapeau
de paille, with its long drooping feather,
threw a shadow half-way down her face
for her head was bent, till her dimpled
chin rested oil the jewel that fastened
her green velvet dress round her throat ;
she held the fan in her hand in such a
manner that she looked as it she beck
>oned you to her iu a sly, half secret
way ; and the eyes that looked out from
• under the long eyelashes were full ot
girlish roguery, and an inextinguisha
ble mirth.
“I did not know that that was Dame
. Jenifer,” 1 said in a hurry. “ I thought
the stiff old lady in the white muslin
-apron and open black silk dress was
.Jenlfer—tbe picture on the staircase I
.mean.”: ;
“My dear boy, you will never learn
their nktiies. And yet I knew names
,uud histories before 1 was your age.”
“ But then you hud always lived here,
,aud I am only just come.”
So I persuaded my mother, who was
a born antiquary, to put away the long
manuscript and sit round towards the
!iiro. —it was raining piteously —and tell
me all sheknew of Dane Jenifer. While
she is making the necessary iutroduc

little explanation with the reader about
"Twus the eldest of the three ohildrou,
and I was twenty-live years of age.
Urgent family aS'alrß, and health rather
the worse for wear under the new con
ditions of an Indian atmosphere, hail
brought me home, after a seven yeais
absence from England. My father was
dead, and my mother had very unex
pectedly become the possessor of an oiu
property of considerable value. Her
only brother, many years y ou “K < i !r

old estate myself. „iwavs lived

in London I had never seen Heniker
Bill ow though I had heard it often
enough my mother having oved
her old home with a remarkably strong
affection: and now as Ihave a ready ex
plained, I was suddenly and deeply in
terested in my mother’s ancestress,Dame
Jenifer the owner ot the feather fan.
‘•Her name was Jenifer Obin, my dear
hoy,” my mother began, taking ott her
spectacles and producing her knitting
from a long little India box which I had
brought back .to her. Jenifer Obin s
father was a Koyallst, as all the best
gentry of good old Cornwall were and
he died at the battle of Broad Oak Sown.
My ancestor, Peter Heuiker, was there.
He was of this county, as you Know
and lived here. But he and Jenile:s
father had been dear friends, and they
had promised each other that if eithe
died in the wars of that day the other
should take the child that should so be
left fatherless, and, bringing the orphan
up with their own, arrange a marriage
between the two. 80, by some means
or other, when Sir Peter Heuiker heard
of Captain Ohio’s death lie sent loi
Je "Tlm child was ten years old. When
she came she said she had pledged her
word to take care ot a girl called Kate
Cradock. if their fathers died in’ batt l3 ,
The double death 9 had occurred,
and Jenifer clamored tor Kate, bir
Peter was not a man to do any good
in an imperfect manner, so Kate too,
was brought to this house as Jenifer s
friend and companion.
“Sir Peter was a man ol about torty
years of age, a widower with a son ot
fourteen. To this son lie stood pledged
to give Jenifer in marriage, and the
children knowing of the arrangement
made no objection. ,
“Young Heuiker, however, w e
Jenifer was nearly fifteen, V if,,,
by ail accident, and Jeniter and Bn
Peter lamented together and consoled
each other. The next male heir to tins
place—lt was not entailed—was bir
Peter’s nephew, the son ot a youngei
brother who had married very early in
life and was settled in trade m a neigh
boring seaport. Tins boy was Jasper
Heniker, and Bir Peter said that he was
now to inherit the place and to inairy
the young lady. . ,
“ When Jenifer was sixteen, Kate
Cradock being a year older, the discov
ery was made by Miss Obin that Jaspei
and Kate Cradock had been making
love beforeyoung Peter Heuiker s death.
“She was furiously ango • I \°. t
with Jasper for.loving Kate,— that she
confessed in many oi her letters lvala
herself which have been preserved, was
natural enough, for they had received
un equal amouutof education, and Kate
was very fair, and very good. :Bat wl \ at
Jenifer hated so heartily was the wil
lingness of Jasper to give up Kate, and
marry another without loving her just
to secure to himself the place of his
uncle’s heir.” , . ,
“Quite right!” 1 exclaimed. And
I beg Jenifer’s pardon for having con
fused her with the stilt'old lady on the
St “Tuke care!” said my mother,
bU I looked towards the picture. r I he
lire played on the face and made it look j
absolutely alive and then the flame
died out and left the figure luJistad,
but 1 had suddenly received the irnpi es
sion that one day I should see flame
Jenifer and speak to her. The notion
was abused utterly unreasonable, but
nevertheless it had given me the very
oddest thrill I had ever suffered.
“Why am Xto ‘take care tasked,
and I fancied my voice had changed a
little. Hut my mother only poked the
fire once more into a blaze, and said,
“ Dame Jenifer’s lias been the strange
story of the family. I only meant to
say,'take care how you praise her before
you hear the end.” n
■So saying, she went on with Dame
Jenifer’s story. ,- rvl ..
M Terribly angry she was with Jaspei,
and all the more because the love be
tween her and Kate Cradock was us
true as ever; and Kate was suffering
bravely and secretly, and trying to
make the sacrifice so generously as not
to betray the whole truth. But the
whole truth waskuown to Jenifer, some
how, and yet she allowed the day for
her marriage to be fixed, and let bir
Peter make all the wedding prepara
tions. They were to be married here
in the hall, which was then a sort ot
banqueting room; and they stood, so
tiie story says, on the dais,— that raised
floor just under the musicians gallery.
“ But the night before ahe had had a
great explanation with Kate Cradock,
—that night she had seen his last letter
to the deserted girl, in which his love
was declared in the strongest terms, anil
his marriage with herselt was spoken of
as the hard necessity that grew out of
Bir Peter’s .promise to his friend, her
father; and he wrote that the estate
would go to Jenifer’s husband, whoever
he might be. .
“And so, somehow, a strange thing
was arranged. The bridal party stood
lu their places about ten at night, ihe
bride veiled, the bridesmaids veiled,
they were three in number, and Jenifer
had arranged their toilets. But when
Jasper uncovered his wife’s face to give
her the kiss that was usual in those
days be found that lie had married
Kale Cradock; and Jenifer, flinging
back her own veil, congratulated him
with all a girl’s revengeful satisfaction
and force. , .
“But it was Sir Peter who was most
astonished. ‘Jenifer!’ he exclaimed,
‘you have done yourself a cruel wrong,
perhaps. I promised your dead father
.that you should be mistress of Hem
ker. I have lost my sou, and you have
cast my nephew from you; madam,
there remains only myself!’
And so, taking the girl's hand, and
drawing a ring from his own finger, he
led her, speechless, to the spot the mar
ried people had left, and, with a stern
voice, commanded the clergymau to
begin again. Aftera pause of a moment,
to allow the girl to speak if she would,
the service was once more said.
“ When Bir Peter had to speak, his
voice was so solemn and so respectful, —
so full of manly loving and of gentle
promise, that all of the many listeners
were struck by the eloquence of its
tones. They said that Jenifer looked
up at him wouderingly, as he bowed
his tall form towards her, and uttered
the I will,; that their eyes met once,
and that in that single glance he had
conquered, and she waswon. Her voice
answered him with a pathos and a
meaning it had never had before,—and
she was mistress of Heniker, and his
word was redeemed.”
“ Mother.” I exclaimed, I like our
ancestress better than ever. I hope
they were happy.”
“ O yes,” said my mother, carelessly;
“ they were very happy, and had a
fine son who was one of my grand
father. But there is rather an ugly
story of Jasuar’s auger when this son
was horn,and some ill-tempered wishes,
which were to vex all Henikers till
something impossible happened,—l
can’t tell what.”
“ And this is her fan?” I again took
up the feather fan.
“ Yes; Sir Peter was proud of his girl
wife, and had her picture taken ; and
she is looking full of youthful malice
at the double success of her dariDg
trick,—is not she?”
“She is very handsome and I am sure
I must have seen some one so like her."
My mother's face was a wonder to
look at when I said this. Her 11 Where?”
had a strange anxiety in it; and when
I Bald, " In my dreams, I suppose,’ she
laughed, half Badly, and turned away.
I had not been more than a week
with my mother at Heniker. and I had
not been in England more than a fort
night. We had lived always in London,
in u good house in a pleasant situation.
To this .house my father had taken my
dear mother when she first left Heniker
to be his bride, and there all her child
ren had been horn.„ .
To be the possessor of Heniker hud
never crossed my imagination. I had
never thought of my uncle as a man
likely to die, or even to live unmarried
and so, when, on reaching London, I
found my mother’s letter desiring me to
join her in her own old home, I obeyeu,
with an odd feeling of change upon me,
to which it was not quite pleasant to
feel that I had to grow accustomed. It
was not the welcome I had expected.
I was young enough.to expect aud to
picture; to desire, and even to crave
after the old home, and the sweet, soft
voiced, tender-eyed mother, who had
always made a darling of her first born.
I would rather have met her in the
home I knew. And Heuiker I felt to
be something of an intrusion into my
life, though it made her rich, and en
dowed me with expectations. It took
all the first week to reconcile me to the
obliteration of my picture, and to make
me look my fortune in the face in a
friendly manner. But aboutthe seventh
day I shook hands with Fate, and ac
knowledged her bounties. My mother,
on my arm, wandered among wood aud
lawn, and ail the hitherto untold his
tory of her gill-life dropped out. I knew
the spot where she had first seen my
father from her casement in the gable;
I walked with her under the lime-trees
where she used to read his letters, and
wait for his coming. The fascina
tion of a companionship more close
than we had ever before enjoy
ed endeared the place to me,
and made me, what I was shortly
to call myself, —a Heniker; a Heniker
in heart as well as in name.
But now lawyers and friends agreed
that we might go back to London. It
was desirable to do so; for Frank was
coming from Oxford, and Fred from
Eton, and I had not seen them yet. So
we packed up sundry small treasures
which were to travel with us, aud sat
down to spend almost our last evening
in the room where the picture hung ot
the lady with the feather fan. lAs was
natural, we talked again of Dame Jeni
fer’s story; but I saw mv mother
shrunk a little from the subject. And
again and again, by the glinting fire
light, as we sat gossiping, I caught the
strange, life-like smile ot tlie laughing
face, till I grew friendly with its beauty
aud was almost cheated into thinking
that the real fan, and not its picture,
was beckoning to me from a living
hand. I think this evening will always
remain in my memory with a strange
sensation about it. But in the morning
came a letter, which made my mother
determine to prolong her stay at Heni
ker ; and I was too happy in our close
reunion, after a seven years’ separation,
to wish to leave her. tio the
thoughts of last evening passed away,
and the second part of our visit began.
I felt, at first, «nrry to stay longer at
Heuiker. I will honestly confess that
there was something distinctly uncom
fortable in the picture of the lady and
her feather fan. Tfoere, on a table in a
corner of the room, lay the fan that
Dame Jenifer had really held, but the
whole room seemed to be inhabited
oy the picture of it and the fair holder.
I felt her smile when I could not see it;
and I am candid enough to declare that
I looked round again and again when
seated with my back to this haunting
picture, as if to make sure that the fau
was still in the place where the painter
had placed it. Dame Jenifer’s eyes
were always laughing at me, always
following me with that quizzing expres
sion which few men are heroic enough
not to mind, and, perhaps, are no great
er for such heroism even if they may
have attained to it.
I grew romantic sometimes, and fan
cii'ul under the influence of that fan
held out m constant beckoning to me.
“ I’ll go up to her boldly, and ask her
what she wants, one day.” Then I
corrected myself of this vaunting
humor, and said, with an inward
laugh, “On my life I believe she
would answer me !” But all the while
—in some noHo-be-explained manuer
—I felt falling in love with my ances
tress, and thinking of old Sir Peter as
very lucky in having suddenly become
possessed of a treasure so rare as this
lady with her feather fan. Then I
would take up the real fan, and con
sider its beauties, and I was once even
foolish enough to shake the pretty thing
at the pictured owner, and defy her,
with all the airs of superiorpowerwhich
life and health and the possession Hen
iker conferred. But I stopped short in
my silliness. “Frightfully disrespect
ful!” I muttered. “After all, she isone
of my grandmothers, and deserves my
thauks, and she can only laugh at me
now. But—but if this fan has not
something to do with my destiny, I 11
nevermore listen to one word in favor
of presentiments.”
The cold spring had suddenly left us.
Our visit to Heniker had begun with
gloom and the friendly consolations of
great fires ; but now, suddenly, spring
had cast aside her winter garb; the
trees were bursting into leaf so quickly
that from day to dav we recognized a
glorious change. The plum trees were
whitening with bloom, the cawmgs of
rooks in the elm avenues, where the
ground was covered with a carpet of
colored flowers,— prim-roses, cowslips,
golden cups, violets, and blue-bell,—
were delights indescribable for the ear
and eye.
My wanderings with my mother were
prolonged till late in the soft evenings,
and it was during oue of those sweet,
sauntering hours, that I again talked
to her of Dame Jenifer’s story.
“ What became of Jaspar Heniker,
and his wile, Kate Cradock'.’”
“One day you must look over tile
Heniker letters. They will please you,
for Kate and her friend wrote pleasant
ly to each other, Kate had children,
and oue of her sons married Jenifers
only daughter. But there was no issue
from that marriage. Jenifer’s son was
to have married one of Jaspar’s girls,
but he had a spirit like his mother’s, I
. suppose, and he would not fulfil what
the mothers wished for. He took his
wife from a noble family, and the place
I came down to us in an uubroken line.
> “ I shouldlike to visitjaspar’shorae.’
“ It was somewherenearNVhitesands,
[ I have ridden there as a girl.”
“ And did Henikers live there then?
“No. It was alow, long, ramblin
farm-house. Mr. Heniker has let it
many years. He was the last, and was
in India then. Since that he married
a youug widow, with a daughter, I
think ; but he never had any children
of his own, so “ pick Heniker,’ as my
father used to call him, was the last of
Jaspar’s descendants. The house was
called Whiteacres Farm. Hick was a
little older than me."
“I shall ride over there to-morrow,"
Jsaid.
Aad when the morning rose with all
the promise of a summer’s day, I pro
ceeded to keep my word, ordered Jessie,
my favorite, out of the Heniker stables,
and after breakfast mounted, and rode
away.
There is no more lasy enjoyment, and
no one more luxuriates in this particu
lar sort of pleasure than a thoroughly
strong man ; there is no gentler luxury
than a summer ride through a rich
country on-a good horse, —a horse that
seems to enjoy itself, and that appears
to have Borne sort of sympathy with the
master who rides through the flowery
lanes and by hedges, listen
ing to the strong music of the skylark,
rising from the short grass,—from home
to heaven, —and feeding, as it were, on
sights and sounds with a spirit-satisfy
ing contentment, and a heart full of
love.
In such a way I rode that Bweetspring
day, under a sun as warm as summer,
with bright butterflies about my path,
and the cuckoo with its sweet monotony
almost persuading one in a long sum
mer’s day that Time was standing still,
and that there was never going to be
aught but sunshine in our lives ever-

more. My way was through a fiue rich
country, with occasional breaks of pic
turesque beauty almost reaching to
grandeur, where granite rocks rose
high, and tangled banks of oak edged
the clear waters of rivers which were
spanned by wooden bridges, and flowed
away among feathery fern-beds, and
reflected wreaths of hawthorn flowers
os they went along.
I reached Whiteacres at lost—a farm
standing amidst many enclosures, and
having a few line evergreens to shelter
it. I found only one woman and a girl
within. She was the farmer's wile.
Three dogs rushed out at Jessie and me,
but Mr. Brookß pacified them, and then
asked me what I wanted.
1 told her who I was, and that I had
a fancy to see Whiteacre.
“ To whom does it belong?” I asked.
“ It’s a gentleman high in the army,
sir, who takes the rent —I can’t tell his
name. I know it sometimes. But I
think he takes it for some one who is
not of age.”
“A Heuiker?” I asked.
“ O no, sir ; they are all gone.”
“ Is there anything worth seeing in
the house ?”
“No, sir. There were some ancient
things, but they were all moved about
a dozen years ago—just before we came
here. There used to be more buildings
out that way, but they were pulled
down, and the stones used for repairs.
There’s old arches and window-mould
ings round at the back in the walls of
the wagon house and piggeries, sir, if
you please to look at them.”
This was all I got for my ten mile
ride; and thinking of how all things
live their time and then pass away, and
are forgotten, I went back to Heniker.
At last the time came for us to return
to London. My mother, in her child
hood’s home, had been living with me
through many tender memories, but
she seemed to put them aside as she
packed up to go away, and in London
she was all brightness, lile, and activity,
and as proud of her sons as they were
happy in their mother. The weather
was radiantly bright, and our lives were
full of as much enjoyment as life ever
yields, and then there came an event.
My mother’s friend, Mrs. Chester, had
come to London to get dresses and make
arrangements for a fancy ball which she
was going to give at their home in
Hampshire. Two daughters had come
to town with her, and my brothers were
upon me.
“ Now, Heniker, which areyou going
to marry ?”
To marry either of the Misses Chester
did not appear a particularly easy thing
to do; Lhey were very grand person
ages, and kept me at a considerable dis
tance, until I was discovered to have a
ready pencil for drawing dressed-up
figures, and a good fortune waiting in
broad acres and the Three per Cents.
By degrees—knowledge having made
these advances—we became acquainted
and on familiar terms, and engaged to
dance certain dances at the comipg ball.
We all went to Shortlauds; and
the night after our arrival tvere
all in the ball-room. Regimentals
had been voted sufficiently brilliant
dresses for military men, so I was pro
vided with a costume. My brothers
had chosen to be attendants on my
mother, who was dressed to represent
some character which demanded such
appendages ; and in the midstof a scene
far too full of sparkle for me to write
about, we stood, admiring, and, to some
degree it is to be hoped, admired.
Next to the ball-room, which was
crowded, there was another large room,
which looked like a bower of fruits and
flowers, lighted to perfection ; andthere
a few of the guests, seated among high
oleanders, and trained vines, andorange
trees, were waiting, or resting, listening
to a well-practised baud, and being re
flected, with their surroundings, in
long, narrow mirrors. I stood in the
entrance of this room, and saw
in a mirror towards the end, on
my right, the lady with the feather fan,
Lam.e Jenifer, looking as much alive as
when her wooing and wedding took
place together and at once, in the old
hall at my new west country home.
I consider it no disgrace to declare
thus publicly that I gazed with a breath
less feeling of surprise, and a sensation
so like fear, that I stood rooted to the
spot, and most uncertain as to my eye
sight; for on looking with determina
tion round the room, and again at the
mirror, the substance was not to be seen,
and the shadow was gone.
‘‘Don’t you dance?—Come here. I
want to introduce you.”
“Stop, Chester. There’s a woman
here with a feather fan.”
“Fifty, I should think. Everybody
has a feather fan. It belongs to a fancy
No, no; uot this feather fan—let’s
find her.”
“Nonsense! Won’t you dance—”
“ Only with the women who have
feather fans—there she is again ! Now
flesh and blood, I declare!—now,Chester,
are you mad ? What are you staring
about? She’s handsomer than Dame
Jenifera thousaud times ; and I'll getto
the bottom of this, if it’s my grand
mother’s ghost in good earnest.”
“ Miss Clayton, said Chester, who had
been dragged by me across the room,
foicibly, “if you are not afraid of a
lunatic—he is a great friend of mine!"
She burst into a low, musical laugh.
I felt sure she had seen my start of as
tonishment reflected in the looking
glass.”
“This,” said Chester, forgetting my
change of name, “ this is Alfred Pel
ham—Captain Pelham, I mean, I beg
your pardon. He wishes to have the
honor of —”
“Talking to Miss Clayton about her
dress and her feather fan,” I said, in
terrupting my friend. And then all
three indulged in a laugh, and Chester
walked away to leave us to our mys
teries. Upon which Miss Clayton and
I sat down, for I was far too much in
earnest for dancing. “Now, Miss Clay
ton, what made you appear here in
that dress ?”
“ I chose it because I liked it. I made
it witli my own hands, helped by my
aunt, Lady Ross, and her clever maid.”
Solie, spoke good-humoredly, like a
child answering questions.
“ Forgive me for keeping to my ques
tion. What made you chose it?”
“ I have, at my uncle’s house, a colored
sketch of a lady on a Bofa, with this
sort of fan in her hand. She is not a
very laudable lady, for we used to say
that she cheated us out of a good in
heritance by marrying the uncle in
stead of the heir. And so there was an
evil saying that those who inherited
from her should never prosper till the
two lines were united. But there are
no men Henikers left in the world now,
and I have dressed myself like the old
picture, with no evil feelings in my
heart, but a moderate complacency only,
which I believe not to be criminal.”
She made this little speech with the
drollest affectation of candor, and the
glance of her pretty eyes was just Dame
Jenifer's over again. ‘I said, “And were
the families never united ?”
“O yes; Dame Jenifer’s daughter
married her old’ lover’s son, ana she
brought the picture into the house. But
that was of no use. Dame Jenifer’ssou
carried on the elder line, and the old
gossips meant that the two lines should
become one.”
“ I have studied the pedigree, Miss
Clayton. I thought Richard Heniker,
of Whiteacres, died without children.
Allow me to ask, Who are you ?”
“ Richard Heniker died in India.
But he married his cousin, my mother,
a widow, Mrs. Clayton. So when my
stepfather, who was also mv cousin,
died I was the only Heniker left in the
world, and I was given to the guardian
ship of Sir James Ross, because his
wife was my father’s sister.”
“And is Whiteaeres yours?”
“ Yes."
She rose up, and I took her across the
room to Lady Ross. She introduced
me as Captain Pelham, and I said,
under the protection of Lady Ross’s
presence, “I was called Pelham ; but I
had to take the name of Heniker last
week.” And then Lady Ross, who had
learnt all about it, was so glad to know
me, and while Mary Clayton colored
orimson, I felt that the aunt hadmarked
me down as “eligible.’
I danced with Mary Clayton, I talked
of Heniker, my beautiful mother, and
Darne Jenifer’s portrait. I Introduced
my brothers to her, and we Bet up a
cousinly monopoly of the young lady,
whloh lasted till theycalled her ‘‘sister,”
and I had brought to Heniker, as its
new mistress, a new edition of '' the
lady with the feather fan,"

The Chicago Tunnel.
THE PROJECT.
For a long time previous to the year
1563 the impurity of the water supplied
for drinking purposes was the chief ob
jection to a residence in Chicago. The
effect of the Chicago river, reeking with
the discharge of seventy-five mi.es of
sewerage, and the refuse of numerous
packing houses, breweries and distil
leries, could often be detected in a sick
ening, disgusting and nauseating efflu
via, which made the drinking water
supplied by the water works of Chicago
unfit for the use of man. This water
was pumped from the shore of the lake,
three-quarters of a mile north of the
mouth of the river. And, horrible re
ality, the winds drifted the concen
trated filth of Bewerage from the river,
along the shore of the lake, to the very
mouth of the inlet pipe at the water
works, where, in a slightly diluted state,
it was pumped up and to the city,
through one hundred and thirty-one
miles of pipe and hydrants, for use in
the kitchens and dining rooms of the
inhabitants.
DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK.
The tunuel consists of three parts:
the tunnel proper, the shore shaft, and
the lake shaft. The shore shaft is lo
cated within a few feetof the lakesliore,
and the outer shaft or terminus, in
cased in a hugecribof ponderous mason
ry, stands at a distance of two miles
directly out in the waters of Lake
Michigan. The first 30 feet of thesliore
shaft is inclosed in iron cylinders, three
in number, one resting upon another
and firmly bolted together. Each
cylinder is ten feet long, nine feet in
diameter, two and ahalf inches in thick
ness. and weighs about 30,000 pounds,
or, in the aggregate, the three together
reach the enormous weight of 90,000
pounds. When the first of these cylin--
ders was placed in position on the sur
face of the ground, the miners com
menced tlie work of excavation on the
inside. As the earth was thrown out,
the cylimfet, of oourse, settled down.
Another section of the cylinder was
placed in position upon the top of the
first when it had sunk to a level with
the surface of the ground ; the two were
finally bolted together, and then the
work of excavation proceeded. The
third having been attached in its turn,
the work was pushed forward until the
sliaft reached a depth of 30 feet. This
brought the miners through the soil and
quicksands, and some feet into the fine
clay formation, wherein they were safe
from the irruption of water. After
reaching the above named depth the
sliaft was contracted to a diameter of
eight feet, and thence pushed down
ward to a depth of 47 feet below the
bottom of the cylinder, or 77 feet from
the surface of the ground. From the
cylinder downward the shaft is lined
with brick measuring twelve inches
thick, laid in three shells in the best of
cement. The shore shaft, then, as com-
pleted, measures 77 feet in depth, nine
feet for the first 30 feet, and
six feet diameter for the remaining 47
the tunned
commences at the bottom of the shore
shaft, 77 feet below the sea-surface of
tlie earth, and extends, at right angles,
a distance of exactly two miles. It is
almost circular in form, being 5 feet 2
inches high and 5 feet wide, (in the
clear), the variation from a true circle
being made on account of the keystone
of the aich'. It is lined with brick ma
sonry, 8 inches thick. The brick is laid
lengthwise of the tunuel in two shells,
with “toothing-joints.” Hone but
hand-burned, clear-ringing, well-form
ed bricks, entirely free from lime and S
inches long by 4 inches wide and 24
inches thick, were used in the construc
tion of the tunnel and they were laid in
the best of cement, only one measure of
dean, sharp sand being allowed to one
measureofcement. Includingtheshore
shaft, there are nearly 5.000 cubic yards
of masonry, which required in round
numbers about 1,000,000 bricks. The
actual excavation of the tunnel, in order
to give it a diameter of 5 feet inside the
masonry, is about 7 feet in diameter, re
quiring the removal of about 16,000
cubic yards of earth.
THE CRIB.
This crib was constructed upon the
North Pier, near the entrance to the
harbor, and was one of the most mon
strous structures ever launched upon
the waves. It was forty feet high, and
had five sides, each of which was fifty
eight feet long, making the structure
about ninety feet in diameter. It had
three walls—the outer wall, the centre
wall and the inner wall, each con
structed of twelve inch square, timber,
and caulked and paid like a first-class
vessel. The frame-work, as thus con
structed, formed a powerful combina
tion of massive timber and irons firmly
bolted and braced in every direction
Within the walls of the orib were fifteen
separate water-tight compartments, and
the inside wall inclosed a cylindrical
well, open at the top and bottom, and
twenty-five feet in diameter. Each
angle of the structure was protected
from ice by an iron armor two-and a
half inches thick. After its completion,
this marine structure was launched in
June, 1860, and towed to its position
over the outer terminus of the tunnel,
where each of its 15 water-tight com
partments was filled with clean rubble
stone. By this means the crib was
sunk until its Bottom rested upon the
bed of the lake, where it was securely
moored by immense cables, reaching
in every direction to huge mooring
screws forced 10 feet into the earth.
The water bore is 35 feet deep, and the
top of the orib was therefore five feet
above the ordinary surface of the lake.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
part of the work may be inferred from
the fact that the cost of the crib exceed
ed SlOO,OOO, or nearly one-third the total
contract cost of the tunnel, There were
used in its construction 018,825 feet of
lumber, 0,028 cubio yards of stone, 400
baleß of oakum, and 65 tons of iron bolts.
After the crib had been Beeurely
moored in its proper position, the work
of constructing the lake shaft was com
menced. An immense cylinder, 64 feet
in length, divided into seven sections
like that used in the shore shaft already
described, and weighing in the aggre
gate 203,000 pounds, was first sunk in
the well in the center of the crib, of
which mention has been made above.
The bottom section having been first
suspended in the well the nextwas placed
upon and firmly bolted to it, the joint
being entirely water-tight. The two
were then lowered, when another sec
tion was placed upon the top, and so on
until all were firmly bolted, together and
the bottom rested on the bed of the lake.
A few inches of sand covered the clay
at the bottom of the lake through whioh
the cylinder forced itself by reason of its
weight. By means of a steam engine
working upon the crib, the water was
pumped out of the oylinder. After this,
the sinking of the oylinder to the re
quired depth in the clayey bed of the
lake was accomplished by the pneuma
tic process, which operated so success
fully in securing foundations for the
Harlem bridge, New York, the bridge
aoross the Pedee River in South Caro
lina, and the railroad bridge aorosß the
Savannah River, on the Charleston and
Savannah Railway. A brief description
of the process is worthy of perusal in this
connection.
The cylinder being in position in the
central well of the crib, and all water
having been pumped out, the top is
closed and made as nearly airtight as
possible. A powerful air-pump driven
by the steam-engine is then set at work,
and the air having been withdrawn the
atmosphere then forces the cylinder
downward with tremendous power.
After the vacum Is complete, eaoh sjroke
of the pump draws down the top of whe
oylinder with a to roe equal to the ex
pansive power of the steam In the boiler,
less the amount expended In running
the engine. The power on the inside
drawing down, and the pressure of the
atmosphere on the outside, were sufll
cient to force the huge cyliuder many
feet into the hard blue clay which forms
the bed of the lake. This process was
the only one by which tne cylinder
could have been sunk. The operation
of excavating and allowing thecyllnder
to settle of its own weight, which was
adopted at the shore shaft of the tun
nel, would have scarcely worked here.
WORK IN THE TUNNEL.
The foregoing account has explained
the mode of constructing thetwoshafts,
or opposite starting points of thetunnel.
We come now to the construction of
these two shafts by a subterrauuean
circular passage, of enduring masonry,
2 miles iu length, TO teet-under the
water of Lake Michigan.
When the cylinder had been driven
down into the clay toitsproperposition,
the work of constructing the outer shatt
was carried on and finished iu a manner
precisely Bimilar to that adopted in the
construction of the shore shatt already
described. The bottom of the East end,
or outer shaft of the tunnel is 60 feet
Oelow the ordinary surface of the water,
or 36 feet below the bed of the lake, and
the bottom surface of the tunnel slopes
uniformly to the shore shaft at the rate
of 2 feet per mile, so that whenever
repairs are necessary, and the “ inlet
gates” are closed, the water can be
entirely' pumped out at the West end.
From the foot of-each shaft a narrow
railroad track was extended as the work
o! tunneling progressed. Cars capable
of canying one and a half cubic yards
of earth, drawn by mules in each sec
tion of the luunel, brought to either
shaft the earth as it was excavated,
when the car, with its contents, was
hoisted out by a windlass connected
with an engine. Two members in each
section of the tunnel yvere left at yvork,
each drawing two trains of cars to the
shaft taking out the earth, and bringing
back brick, cement, and other material.
Chambers and turn-tables constructed
at convenient distances allowed the
trains to pass on their yvay going or
coming. And there yvas another in
teresting feature in the construction of
this gigantic undertaking. A railroad,
with regular turu-outsand stations, iu
operation doyvn deep under the water
of Lake Michigan. The railroad had
at times its human freight, for General
Grant himself yvas once a distinguished
passenger to ride through these dreary
depths.
In the tunnel two classes were em
ployed, namely, miners and bricklay
ers, each of whom worked separately in
gangs of five each. In tunneling,
one of the miners went ahead and ran
a regular drift in the center of the tun
nel, being an excavation of about two
and a half feet wide. Another folloyyed
and broke down the sides of the drift.
Another folloyving trimmed up the
yvork to the propershape and size, yvhile
the other tyvo loaded the car. Each car
going to the shaft with a load of earth
brought back a load of brick and cement
and the masons followed only a few
feet behind the miners.
The contractor employed about one
hundred and twenty-five men in the
work upon the tunnel. These men were
divided in three watches, or reliefs,
changed every eight hours. The work
yvas pushed forward night and day, the
only cessation being from 12 o'clock
each Saturday night until 12 o’clock on
the Sunday night following, except on
a feyv occasions when the miners un
earthed a jet of inflammable gas or a
fissure filled with water, yvhose irrup
tion was certain at once to spread dis
may among the miners and induce a
precipitate retreat to the foot of the
shaft. But, very fortunately for the
success of the great enterprise, none of
these irruptions let in any considerable
body of yvater.
An ingeniousmode of ventilation was
adopted to secure to the miners a steady
current of fresh air and carry oft' all
foul vapors.
THE LAKE TERMINUS.
The crib already described is a tem
porary structure, which will soon give
place to a massivepile of masonry which
yvill atonce protect the cylindrical shaft
and inclose the inlet gates by yvbich the
supply of water yvill be regulated. The
rubble stone placed in the water-tight
compartments of the crib yvill be re
moved from one compartment at a time,
and spread over the top of the othem to
prevent the crib from rising. The stone
yvill then be laid back in hydraulic
cement, the masonry rising several feet
above the water in a series of massive
blocks of granite, bolted and cramped
together with iron bar, and rude stone
cut and morticed in such a manner as
topreventthe displacement of one with
out the displacement of all. In this
manner the stone in each ot the com
partments will be replaced by the most
enduring masonry, which when entire
ly completed, with its numerous bolts
and bars, running in every direction
and firmly binding the whole together,
it is not unreasonable to suppose, will
resist for countless ages the fiercestgales
of Lake Michigan. The top ot the
structure will be surmounted with a
permanent lighthouse, constructed and
maintainedat.the expense of the city, in
conformity to a recent act of Congress.
HOW THE WATER IS LET INTO THE
TUNNEL OK SHUT OFF.
There are three openings or gates
through the cylinder of the lake shaft
which will connect with flumes or pas
sagesthrough thesurrounding masonry,
when they will be covered by double
iron gratings, and capable of being
closed by gates, easily operated by an
ingenious combination of iron rods,
levers and wheels. Gates will also be
placed upon the openings through the
cylinders, so that each of these passages
for the ingress of the waterwill deepen
ed and closed at both ends. Each of
these inlet gates covers an opening live
feet long and four feet wide. One of the
openings is five feet from the bottom of
the lake, another ten, and the third fit
tipn feet. J’iaeh is on a different aide.
This arrangement will afford tliepurest
of water at all seasons, despite storm
and regardless of the direction of the
wind.
THE QUALITY OF TIIE WATER,
Repeated analyses of water taken at •
different seasons from the surface and '
bottom of the lake, at the outer shaft,
Erove conclusively that Chicago will
ave, by means of this great public im
provement purer and better water than
that supplied to any other city in the
United States. At the distance of even
one mile from shore, the water is never
contaminated by the most violent
storm, and the water in Its natural
quality is singularly free from impuri
ties of animal or vegetable matter. Its
crystal-like clearness is equal to that
taken from the purest spring, and
silver coin dropped into the waves
gleam and glisten deep down in its
transparent depths.
It is worthy of note, as a remarkable
fact, that during the progress of this
work, a period of two and a half years,
not a single aooident has befallen any
of the workmen. But this auspicious
circumstance is marred by asingle deed
of crime—a tragedy, In fact —fatal in its
unhappy consequences to one human
life, which occurred in the very tunnel
itself. One of the workmen engaged
in an angry quarrel with a co-worker
in a frenzy of passion, for which, indeed,
there was the legal justification of
severe provocation, seized a pick and
Btruck him dead.
The original contract price of the tun
nel complete was $315,139, with a pro
vision that, in all ohaupes in construe*
tion required by the Board of Public
Works the contractors shall receive
suitable pay. But it must be remem
bered that the contract was made when
gold stood at 120 and before there had
been any Increase in the cost of material
or the wages of labor. Since that, and
during the whole period the work has
been in progress, both the cost of mate
rial and the wages of labor have in
creased to more than double their for
mer figures. Hence, the actual cost of
the work has been greatly in excess of
the contract price, and, taking Into con
sideration numerous items or expendi
ture. foreseen by neither the Board of
Publio Works nor the contractors
> themselves, it is more than probable
that $700,000 will not cover the real ex
; pense of the undertaking.

Tbe Little Cup of Tears,
The following beautiful German
legend Is told In “Thorpe's Yule-tide
Stories:”
It relates that a mother who had lost
a darling little daughter, sorrowed day
and night for her, as one without hope,
and that for three daysand three nights
she neither ate nor drank anything, but
wept In the bitterness of her soul. The
third night, as she thus sat overcome
with suffering, In the place where her
ohlld had died her eyes bathed in tears
and faint from grief, the door softly
opend, and the mother started, for be
fore her stood her departed child. It had
became a heavenly angel, and smiled
sweetly as innocence, and was beautiful
like the blessed. It had in its hand a
little cup that was almost runnlngover,
so full it was. And the child spoke;
“ Oh ! dearest mother, weep no more
for me; the angel of mourning has
collected in this little cup the tears
which you have shed for me. If for me
you shed but one tear more, it will
overflow. I shall have no more rest in
the grave, and no joy in heaven. There
fore, O, dearest mother! weep no more
for your child ; for it is well and happy,
and angels are its companions!” It
then vanished. The mother shed no
more tears, that she might not disturb
her child’s joy in heaven.
