1)EItHAPS FRIEND COX saw it on my
face and thought It had better.be
brokeu abruptly, . ......
"Thee comes to say thnl tho will is lost,
friend John?''' she said. " "
"1 rHrWlo savOf, looking in the fire,
avoiding h11 eyes. "Gone. Sholter, aa
proxy for Mainuel Pierse, takes possession
orthc plant afions to-morrow. "
And the HMipHt?'' cried Hester, start-
'"K"l- .
" They are all to bo transferred to the
place in Georgia."
"Sold?" , .
" No; not immediately.''
The girl burst into tears, pacing the floor.
" My own peoplo I They were kind to me
when no one else was kind not even my
own mother 1 Old Maumer ! that nursed me
in her arms ! They shall not go ! They
shall not 1"
"Can nothing be done?" said Friend
Cox, half-crying.
" Nothing ! I proposed taking the house
servants oft Shelter's hands; but he would,
not," .
, '! Hoster forgets her own loss," she said
in a whisper.
" I do not," the girl stopped. " It is
unjust. God knows I feel that ! I am no
meek saint. But I can help myself. What
can they do my poor people 1 You think
mo silly, perhaps; hut they were all I had
to love for years !" her face growing crim
son as she looked at Rob.
A silence followed. Hob loaned his head
on tho window-pane. The girl paced to
and fro, controlling herself.
" Hester," aaid the Quaker, at last, "I
see but one hope for thy house people. It
nay bo that, in time, this man Picrse will
relent, and dispose of them to me or friend
John hero. Then it will all be right.. Thou
art my child now, thee knows?"
"Except my sharo in her," I said.
Hester was near the old lady. She turn
ed impulsively ami threw her arms about
her. "You know I thank you both !" Her
voice was clear enough now. "But, listen
to me. I have made up my mind. My
Father, nor his daughter, ever took back a
promise, and I have made one in my heart
to my people. I can not be dependent on
you on any one. I will earn my own
bread, Friend Cox, and, after a time, I'll
buy them back." Friend Cox smiled and
smoothed her hair. But I saw tho fashion
in which the girl's lips closed, and knew
she would keep her word.
Bob Johns pushed away the curtain and
.finin tin to tho! hearth. I don't think he
remembered that I or the old lady were
there: ho saw, spoke to Hester only.
"Do you know what I think of myself,
Hetty?" ho Baid in a tone whose bitterness
seemed to come scalding out of his heart.
" Do you sco mo standing here a man of
twenty-five ignorant, penniless years, and
chances squandered 1 when I ought to have
been strong to help you and these wretched
souls? Squandered 1 God help mo 1" He
covered his face with his hands. Sho put
hers trembling on his shoulder. "I've a
strong arm yet, and u strong will !" he
broke out, catching the little hand. " Yon
work 1 Never 1 if there is any trace of man
hood left in me 1 1 can dig if nothing better!
Hotty 1 Hetty I Make a man of me ! Let
me work for you I Uivoyoursulf tome now!
You shall see me other than the idle wretch
I have been. (July believe in me believe
in me!"
" I do I always did, Robert, You shall
work for mo. But not together. Let us
try our . strength first. Let me do some
thing for my people." The girl's strength
.was giving way. She grew pale trembling.
"Come, child," said Friend Cox, "thee
has bornu enough. To-morrow we will talk
this matter over," and led her from the
room.
Bob Johns and I soon after took our leave.
Friend Cox had upbraided me witli too lux
a manner in dealing with young people. I
thought this a good time to reform. So as
we rode down the avenue, I began in a tone
calculated in itself to carry conviction.
" Young man, you might have been pre
pared for this. I have warned you of the
helpless, ineflicicnt thing you were making
of yourself, time and again, but to no pur
pose. A more stitl'-necked, hardened youth
in following his own idle fancies never fell
under my control., "What can I do now ?"
" Well, Uncle John," said Boh, turning
his face with u miserable smile, "you
might as well just call mo ' Bob' again, and
let me work out my own salvation. Little
Hetty's tears have preached more to me to
night than all your counsel."
" Bob, you're a roprobato," I answered.
" However, we'll try and have you admitted
next mouth, and I can throw a good deul
in your way the first term."
Somehow I had no doubt of Rob's earn
estness and perseverance, nor was I disap
pointed. He " took hold," as the Pennsyl
vaulans say, of work and study, gave up
wine and cards with scarcely an effort. Af
ter all, a man must have stimulant.' Bob
had found the purestearthly strength-giver
t he hope of working for a heart that loved
him.
She did love him, little Hetty. Loved
blra enough to work at her task cheerfully'
trustfully. She worked hard, no shrinking
or make believe. ' She was employed as a
teacher in Richmond, and a good thorough
little teacher she made by-the-way. Friend
Cox would not give her up altogether, so
kept her with her; and every dollar the
girl owned was laid up for the one great
purpose, to bring back her " people-' to
their old hoTm;"- "' - -.
Years passed.. Strange enough, you
think, that twe tree, honestly loving hearts
should be kept apart for years by the want
of dollars and cents. Yet I have known
such things happen more than once in nov
cU, if not in real life. '
Now comes the unusual part of my story.
Immediately after the projierty passed into
the hands of Samuel Pierse and his agent,
the negroes were sent, as I liefore stated,
to Georgia, and the house offered for rent.
An Alabamian planter and his family took
it, who were spending the winter In Rich
mond. He leased it, he informed me, for
two years. I was surprised, therefore,
when I met him in the reading-room of one
of the hotels a month after and learneil
that he had removed to town. "The house
was unpleasant." Very soon after another
tenant occupied it; but only for a few
weeks. ' Another followed,' and another.
Strango stories began to be bruited about
of noises and lights unnatural, and not to
be accounted for by any rational theory.
The negroes talked; the white tenants
themselves, half-ashamed, whispered mys
teriously, said it was nothing, but present
ly decamped. Hholter was in despair. Sa
tan himself was in the house, he said.
Other people said it was only the ghost of
old Picrse. ' To make a long story short,
things went from bad to worse, until tho
house was utterly deserted a year after
Pierse's death. '
So it stood for about live years. In the
meantime Bob Johns had been gradually
taking his placo among the rcliablo thor
ough members of the Virginia bar. I
helped him to practice, of course; so did
Brady; so did everybody. But he helped
himself most. Earnest, eager, throwing
himself into every cause as if the cause
were his own, and gainingevery day a deep
er, more subtle knowledge of the science
of jurisprudence, Bob Johns bade fair to
rank among: our highest jurists. He came
to me one day,' as I was leaving the office,
and leaned over tho back of my chair in
his old loyish way. " Uncle Page," for he
had a fashion of calling me this when any
thing touched him, " uucle Page wish me
joy!"
I looked up and said, "Hester has re
lented?" " Not altogether. She will bo my 'wife;
but she will persist in helping me bring
back the servants. God knows when we
will be able to accomplish it. Hetty had
a scrawl from undo Joe, hist week, that
would touch your heart. We'll have to
struggle hard enough, but we'll get on, I
don't fear." Neither did I, looking in his
face.
Tho wedding I learned was to !e in a
month. It so happened, that very night,
that I was riding out past the Pierse plan
tation. I called Pine up to mo as we reach
ed the house.
'I thought, Pine," I said, "that house
was vacant now ?"
" So 'tis, Mars' John. Lord save us, see
dat light indent winders?"
' " Cortainly. Sholter must have a tenant
in it."
"Not a tenant. Do house am haunted,
dom ignorant niggers sny. No truf in dat,
ov course."
" Very well, Pino, suppose yon ride up
and see about the light. It only would be
right to givo Sholter notice if tho house is
tenanted by vagrants. The furniture is
there just as Pierse left it."
Pine turned a sickly yellow.
"Mars' Sholter's no friend of mine.
Guess I'll not go if maister'll 'xcuse me."
Thore never was a more arrant coward, I
well know than Pine. His horso kept in
advance of mine a few paces out to tho
country house where I was going to dine
Coming home, I was jrtined by Brady. Wo
jogged along together, slowly, for the road
was muddy. Arriving near the Pierse
house, I perceived the light again, and
pointed it out to him. Brady was a young
man, reckloss, and, to be honest, excited by
our host's champagne.
"They say that house is haunted, Mr.
Page," he said; "did you know? May I
never die if I don't go up and have a bout
with old Pierso's ghost !"
He turned his horso to tho roadside,
hitched him to the fence and began to
cross tho field.
"Come back, Fred," I cried. But he
would not. " Well then, I'm with you," I
said, and followed, determined to see it
out.
What would tho junior members of my
law-school have said if they had seen me
lumbering over a stubble-field at midnight
in search of a ghost? However, they did
not see it, and impelled by some boyish
whim breaking out under my gray hairs,
I pushed on, followod by Pine, his teeth
chattering. " Gor-a-mlghty," he said,
"old Mars' is done 'cracked I Hope he'll
pay for dis In his gouty too I"
We reached the house ' at last. Brady
scrambled up the )iorch and jieepcd In
the windows. '
"Old Pierse has met withjcongenlal com
pany, if bis ghost is about," ho whispered,
coming down. "Though I thought the
woman led him such a termagant dance a
he wouldn't cat to repeat." ,' '
" What woman, Brady ?" -, J ' v
"The mulatto don't you recollect?
that he kept as housekeeper, and who ruled
the old wretch with a rod of iron."
Impossible.- He sold her a year before
he died to a Louisana trader."
"tf! he' did," Mars' John," 'said Pine,
taking courage, when he found the conversa
tion was reasonably un-diabolic, "she
corned back, Ole Kit you mean ?. Fore old
Tit ' i;-.! ..i ' : . t - 1 .1
I lersu uieu snw was uaiigui rouiiu mio
swamps, they say, an I heard got in an saw
him once when none knowed it but Jake.
After the rumpus bout dat box he wor
feared to tell."
The same thought struck us all. Pine,
forgetting his fears and rheumatism, climb
ed up and peeped in. " It's Kit," he said,
descending. " She's sittin' iu style there."
" Mr. Page said Brady, "will you ride
into town and bring out a couplo of police
men ? I will bo bettor able to keep watch
if she have any accomplices."
An hour after Kit and a big strapping hoy,
her son, were safe in custody. The boy
was recognized as Beefsteak Jim, a notori
ous thief in the neighborhood. Under
cover of the reputation of the house as
haunted, the woman had now occupied it
for years unharmed. '
Whilo the magistrate was committing
them to jail, Brady and I held a short con
sultation in my ollice, determining on what
course to pursue with the woman, to ascer
tain if sho were an accomplice of Sholter in
destroying tho will.
Early the next morning wo went to her
cell. She was an old negro, with high
cheek bones and sallow eyes denoting
Indian blood, mid more than Indian crafti
ness. " BcIVmo the death of your Master
Pierse," I said, (assuming the asKcrtant
scheme for extracting evidence), "you got
into his chamber alone, and terrified him
into confessing that bis will was made and
hid in a box under the mattress. You car
ried tho box oil' and concealed yourself and
it souiewhero in the house, until after tho
funeral was over." I saw by the woman's
face I had guessed correctly, and despite
her oaths and curses persisted, threatening
her with tho utmost punishment of tho law
if she refused to confess. . Aided by Brady
and tho magistrate, I succeeded in eliciting
the truth. Sho had not acted as Sholter's
agent. We had wronged him there. Part
ly to rcvengo herself on Hester for having
caused her dismissal, partly to ensure tho
house as her own hiding-place, sho had de
vised and carried out the plan. Under tho
granaries there was a secret cellar, commu
nicating with tho house by a passage iu the
wall. In this cellar, of which she only was
cognizant, sho hiul concealed herself, and
ly means ol tho liiuucn passage had pro
duced tho unnatural lights and noises that
had brought upon tho house tho name of
"uncanny." .
" But the box ?" said I, eagerly.
" What will you givo me if I tell you?"
she demanded, her heady eyes sharpening.
"Lilierty, and a pass to Ohio," I 're
plied. -" I couldn't burn or break it," she said,
moodily. " I tried, ' Lord knows. It's
there in the cellar."
It was there safe enough; and when we
opened the rusty lock with the key which
I had always retained, there lay the yellow
paper that gave Hester Wray her own
again.
For reasons that we had, our discovery
was kept a secret from every one but Shol
ter, and Friend Cox, who, for tho first time
in her life, I suppose, liecamo a partner in
a conspiracy. It was a busy month for
Brady, and Pine, and mo. However, our
work was accomplished in time. Tho wed
ding night arrived, clear and starlit, A
quiet wedding, Voing at tho . house of a
friend, yet full of deep content. Little
Hester's cheeks wero paler, it might be,
than five years before; but the grave smilo
in her eyes was more constant and pure.
As for Bob, he had worked long years for
his Rachel, you saw the marks of that on
his face; but you saw, too, that Rachel sat
islled tho innermost want of his soul. So
we had a happy, holy wedding; one which,
I doubted not, tho God of the orphan girl
could smile on and bless. , ,
When it was over, when the tears and
good wishes were past, and the supjier-
tablo (ah ! what cooks these Friends have !)
attended to, I joined the group where the
brido and groom stood. ,
" You aro going to tho North for your
bridal tour?" I asked. . .
"To Canada. Yes, uncle Page," said
Hester, blushingly claiming share in Bob's
relationship. .
"I have a favor to ask you. It's ten
o'clock now, and tho tiain you travel in
leaves at twelve. Let me carry you oft" to
pay a visit."
"Isn't it a littlo unreasonable?" said
Bob, glancing at the wondering faces.
"Not a hit. Thee must go thee must
go," hurried out Friend Cox.
She and Brady entered the carriage with
us, leaving her husband to explain. When
we drove in tho gates of the Pierse planta
tion, little Hetty begnn to tremble. " Why
do wo come here?" she asked. "It hurts
me - to remember my people, and to
night---" " ' I t , 1 ' 1$ -
1 1 hurried Iter .out of the carriage as it
Stopped. "Oqly some friends,? I said,
who want to wish you Joy, Hester.', i '
She stopped; some quick thought flashed
Over her face, and, In ber old impetuous
way, she sprang up the steps and opened
the door. ;....
The lighted hall was crowded with black
faces bright with joy. We heard a tumult
of laughter, apd shouts,' and weeping.
"Uncle Page, this is" your doing," said
Bob, "No Canada now; this is better."
, . I pointed to the hall table where lay the
abestos box. ' Hester needed it but little.
"Oh 1 Maumer ll of you," she sobbed,
"thank God ! You are all here to-night.'.'
Old uncle Joe held her by the hand.
" Hush 1" he said, in a busky voice, kneel
ing down. " Let us give thanks , unto de
name ob de Lord !"
One of Mr. Lincoln's Merciful Jtst.. ,, .
Col. Forney tells the following iu the
Washington Sunday " Chronicle,", among
his interesting " Anocdotes of Public Men:"
" While I was secretary . of the Senate
there was scarcely an hour during any day
that I was not called upon to help some
body who had friends or kindred in the
army, or had business in the departments,
or was anxious to get some poor follow out
of the Old Capitol Prison. These constant
appeals were incessant demands upon the
time of a very busy man,butalabor of love,
and I am clad to remember that 1 never
undertook it reluctantly. One day an ener
getic lady called on me to take her to the
President and aid her to get a private sol
dier pardoned, who had been sentenced to
death for desertion, and was to be shot the
very next morning. We were much press
ed in the Senate, and she had to . wait a
long time before I could accompany her to
tho White House. It was in the afternoon
when we got there, and the Cabinet was
still in session. I sent in my namo for M
Lincoln, and ho camo out evidently in pro
found thought and full of some great sub
jeet. I stated the object - of our call, and
leaving the lady in one of the ante-cham
bers, returned to the Senate which hud not
yet adjourned. The case has made a deep
impression on me, but 1 forgot it in the ex
citement of the debato and the work of my
office, until perhaps near IU o'clock that
night, when my female-friend came rushing
into my room, radiont with delight, with
the pardon in her hand. " I have been up
there over since," she said. "Tho Cabinet
adjonrnod, and I set waiting for tho Pres
ident to come out and tell me the fate of my
poor soldier, whoso caso I placed in' his
hand after you left; but I waited in vain-
there was no Mr. Lincoln. So I thought
I would go up to the chamber of his Cabi
net and knock. I did so; and, as there was
no answer, I opened it and passed in, and
there was tho worn President asleep, with
his head on the table resting on his arms,
and my boy's pardon at his side. I quietly
waked him, blessed him for his good deed,
aim came to ecu you the glorious news.
You havo helped mo to save a human life."
This is the material if not for solemn his
tory at least for those better lessons which
speak to ns from tho lives of tho just and
purci 1 . .
A Singular Case.
Iu the Summer of 18(10, in liuzomo Val
ley, Pa., Mark Wilson and Miss Wallaco, a
lovely girl of eighteen, had hoeu engaged
for some mouths, when she suddenly jilted
him, and without explanation forhado him
to enter her house. Wilson plunged into
dissipation, and rapidly lost his character,
his business, and his small means. He was
frequently heard, with fevered energy, to
lay his ruin at her door, and vowed revenge
with tho most determined hitterness.
Shortly after he made preparations to leave
for Europe, hut before doing so by somo
means persuaded the girl to take a drive
with him. Ho gave out at tho livery stable
that he was going to an occasional picnic
resort, in a wild gorge among the neighbor
ing hills. 'Neither of them returned, and
days after tho body of the girl, stabbed to
death with a pocket knife, swoin to as
Wilson' was found iu tlio turbid water of
a brook that threaded " Picnio Gorge,"
Bhowas buried in an agony of sorrow, by
her loving parents, ami tho day after tho
fuueial Mrs. Wilson, nee Miss Wallace, re
turned from New York with her newly-
wedded husband. Who tho murdered girl
was, and how a ' knife like that of Mark
Wilson's came in her heart, tho most rigid
investigation never could discover.
