MR. ARUNDEL'S DAUGHTER
I was about to take a journey to Phila
delphia to transact business for the firm
of Van Uyck 46:, Co., to which I had just
been admitted...partner, „after . serving a
term of years as a Wit:dr.:keeper.
My father, having reached those balmy
days when easy chair and slippers woo
with irresistib'e force, and being well off
in this world's goods. had decided to re.
tire from business, haring me to occupy
his phi in the firm.
Thor, at the age of twitity-four, with
good health, a tolerable personal appear
ance and tine prospects, I had us fair a
start in life as one could wish.
In Philadelphia,uptly termed "The City
of Brotherly Love,' as I thought, when I
hitt plirtakeu of its hospitalities, resided
an old friend of toy father, who had not
seen me since my childhood.
By letter it was arranged that on my
arr;%al I should immediately repair to
Mr. Arundel's house, he insisting on re
ceiving me as his guest, and make his ac
quaintance, and that of his family.
The exact time of my coming was not
fixed, and thus it happened that early one
February evening I reached their house,
to find it brilliantly lighted, and myself
a little unexpected.
Mr.,and Airs. Arundel, both of whom
I at once liked, extended to me so cor
dial a reception, however, that I could
but feel myself welcome. -
•
"Our young people have company this
evening," remagked Mr. Arundel; who
seemed to be a tery pleasant and jovial
gentleman. "Had we known when to
expect you it shouldn't have been so.—
Your first evening should have been a
quiet ime,,passtiltn our midst, devoted to
breaking the hx and getting comfortably
used to us."
"Never mind," interrupted Mrs. Arun
del's cheerful voice. "I trust We shall
succeed in making Mr. Van Dyck feel at
home with-us as it is. Our daughter and
her young friends propose to entertain
theatricals, which I hope Mr. Van Dyke
will tint• feel too - much fatigued to
wtt
.ness."
"To be sure nat ! to be sure not!" ex
claimed Mr.-Arundel, heartily, before I
could reply. "We'll,give our young friend
Arthur, here, plenty of time in which to
rest betore the play begins, and he can
receive his introductions later. So my
boy, we'll have a cup of tea, and let John
show yob to our room at once."
Nearly an hour later, after a. careful
toilet made with thoughts of the daugh
ter who had been mentioned, I descend
ed to the.parlor, and found it pretty well
filled with guests seated- as expectant
spectators, while a subdued murmur of
voices was audible from beyond the sear
let•curtain whicb hid embank room from
'view.
"Come here, Arthur. Take a seat by
am," 'said Mr. Arundel. "The play is
about to liegin, I believe." •
Even as he spoke a bell tinkled, and
the curtain was clumsily swept Made. It
disclosed small but beautifully construe
led stage, and a background of scarlet
drapery.
'Die play which followed was by no
means remarkable. I , remembered there
being a fair , persecuted heroine—Lady .
Alice, a dark and handsome lover with a
guitar and - velvet cloak„ and, and, a brilliau
and, beautiful rival to the fair lady,..wbo,
dis.lnise • .as a waiting-mahl, wove her
spells ittout Sir Enstace.' , • •
- The play wound uzio with an elopement,
lu which the rival escapes with the_ false

heart.

MONTROSE, SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY; PA., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 15, 1873.
Absurd and shallow as, was this plot,
the play was rendered in the most spirit
ed manner. The part of Lady Alice was
played with touching pathos, by a love
ly girl with fair hair and gentle eyes,dress
ed simply in white.
Mr. Arundel pointed her out to me.
"That young lady is my daughter Ju
lia. She is called very pretty," ha added
a little complacently.
"And merits the praise," I assented,
warmly. "Hot who is the dark one—the
bewitching Elsie ? I confess I have fall
en in love with her."
Mr. Arundel laughed so heartily that
there were several cries of "hush ! ere he
replied:
"That young lady is my datighter,Miss
Elsie Arundel, very much aty..ur service.
he's w sail lAOII,I assure, Arthur."
"Perfectly bewitching, at any rate," I
murmured.
In fact, I could not keep my eyes off
the tall and dazzling beatify, who,in short
skirts. high heeled slippers, velvet Wier.
ruflied apron, and a cat4ivatil)g bit of
head-dress, was so bright find bewitching
that it almost seemed Sir Eustace might
be pardoned for faltering in his allegiance.
lint when the diFguise of the Frenc',
waiting maid was thrown rtaide, and Elsie
appeared resplendent iu sCarlet satin and
rich lace, her dark hair clustering in
thick culls ahore her noble brow, sur
rounded by a diadem of diamonds, her
eyes sparkling, her cheeks glowing with
excitement, I exclaimed aloud :
"Glorious creature!"
She may have heard, fur she turntd
and smiled on me.
'•Miss Elsie is radiantly beautiful," said
to Mr. Arundel.
"Du you think so ? perhaps you
are right. Yun see she's younger that ,
Julia, and a tomboy. She's developing
rapidly, no doubt."
Mr. Arundel seemed shaking with un
controlable laughter. I was disgusted.—
lie bad called that exquisite creature by
au odious name.
•"Miss Julia is evidently her papa's 11-
%wile," I thought to myself somewhat
"Here crone the young 'ladies them
selves," said Mr. Arundel, the play being
over. "Very tine actresses You make, my
dears," lle then presented me.
Miss Arundel held out her hand timid
ly. Miss Elsie looked nt me with her
large blazing eves. then said heartily:
"I noticed you from the stage, Mr. Van
Dyck, and knew at ones I should like
you. I played my best to please you"
I was a little disconcert- d by this
charming candor ; but every one laughed,
and Miss Julia asked :
"Are yon sure you didn't fnney me.

made such an effort to fascinate poor Sir
Elistace?"
_ .
"You've guessed it exactly," replied the
frank yoliiig lady. "Yon see. Mr. Van
Dyck." she went on, addressing me. "sis

all the. attentions; but I claim von. '—

tint joining in the general laugh.
••you may have a dance Tvitli yoir: con

del.
"I've certainly no objectio is," I retor
ted, laughing.
Ju another moment Elsie sod I were
whirling among the dizzy waltzers.
"Every one is looking and laughing at i
us," remarked my eccentric partner, "as
if I danced like au elephant.
"Impossible!" exclaimed I. deprecating
ly. "Your waltzing is the very escence cf
grave—the poetry of motion."
"At any rate, I've had enough of it. It
is lovely in the conservatory ; let us go in
there and get cool by the fountain."
I followed her lead willingly enough.
"Isn't this delightful ?" sighed Elsie. as
soon as we found ourselves alone, drop
ping her somewhat dashing manner amid
looking up at me with a lauquid, almost
timid glance.
She caught my admiring gaze and smil
ed, revealing dazzling teeth.
"Here's a seat among the roses for yon,
Mr. Van Dyck. The water from this
fountain is as cool as ice,and as sparkling
as diamonds ; let me fill this goblet for
you! I'll be Hely. cupbearer to the gods,
and you shall be the glorious Apollo.
take care not to stumble to be banished
from my Olympus. I'm in Paradise, Mr.
Van Dyck!"
"Your allusions are classical, fair-lady ;
but are yon In earnest in saying you're in
Paradise?"
"Of course I am, monsieur,' with the
handsomest gentleman in the romi all to
.myself, and I a younger sister."
15
Here Elsie, half kneeling, presented
.
the goblet with a bewitching grace. Judge
me not harshly, kind reader, when I ad
mit that my heart beat rapidly. I was
young and susceptible.
"I've no accomplishments," went on my
charmer. "I cannot play the piano, nor
sing, nor dance like sister Julia; but—
here she paused and looked at me half de
fiantly—"l can play billiards"'
"A sort of Di Vernon," retorted I, by
- no means startled from my Self-possession.
"0 dear! I'll tell p..pa you called me
that!"
"Did von call me dear r' I asked sillily.
"No, I never call a gentleman dear;
but it must seem very plasant."
"Try it to me, then, sweet Elsie!" I
exclaimed. enthusiastically, enraptured by
her engaging candor.
Elsie made no reply bnt to drop 'her
head till her cheek touched my hand, I

`•So they are,' said. Elsie; and she ac

we went back to the, parlors, tqere„our
re-appearance was greeted With, imuch
merriment, and was made the its'3,jedt of
more sly jokes than good taste seemed to
me to Nrnrrant. Elsie took it very coolly.
"Did Mr. Van Dyck propose to you,;"
asked Julia;
4 •Of 'course he did—,.YoU sie,Mr; 'Van

Could I believe my ears? How had
my idol become clay!
The guests shortly utter departed, and
when good •nights bad bten spoken we all
retired to our- rooms.

It eras long before I slept that night Tor

vision—that;of a fairylike little lady in
white, with great gentle eves.

"Not at all." I murmured. "I enjoy a

despite agonies of mortification. Mr

intently for a moment. could not decide
in which direction the fugitive had gone.
Jim walked down the graveyard until he
had reached the spot where he, had sur
prised the unknown desecrator.' Looking
ahout, h saw that so cautious had been
this /a:lent:fie investigator that had par.
tially accomplished his purpose when fir
ed at by "Old Jim." The elay had to
part been removed from the
,grave, and
,wonderful to relate, had been laid on, a
'spread blanket.
"Ob," said ()Id 31n, "he put the blank
et there So that no traces of his damna
ble wOrk . should be [eft, as he could re
place all the earth in its former place."
Thus sUlilotinizing. Jim Set to work t o
refill the outraged grave of his only and
rsyidly ,•emembered - dang,hter. dropping a
tear here and there on the frozen lumps
of earth. Mier finishing his lonely and
unpleitaant.task he turned to go,saying,
I'll take the blanket."
"Dr. ,Cullen Watson sat in his office,
190(414 ..?,ser "Gray's Anatomy." The
drietor, ever and anon, looked out on the
'street of Streets in 'Lymptown, hut, not
seeing anything to attract his attention,
brought to bear his eyes again on the
book. Ring! ring! went the door-bell nt
the surgery. The doctor. springing, quick
ly from his, chair. and laying down his
hook in the same moment, opened the
"Doctor,l have a pain in my wrist,and
.wish,yon to see it, and give me some lo
tion, it needed."
This was said by u lady, voting in form
and voice, hut so heavily veiled that the
doctor could not distinguished .her fee
tUreS. •
'•Walk in," said he.
-After being seated, the lady held oat
her min, which was duly examined by the
doctor, and the liniment prescribed, al
thoughthe etuildn't see that anything was
wrong. As the fair visitor left, he saw
her drop an envelope on the table, which
he picked up after her departure, and
read:
`Doctor, if you ever bought a blanket
at the store of K---, and lost it, buy
another precisdy like it and keep it; you_
will need it. • A FELESD.' •
"By Jove! What does this mean ?" said
the doctor. "'lf you ever bought a blank
et!' L•t me see—great thunder! I did take
a blanket, and that new ore, too, that
night I went to -- ves, and by heavens!
I left it at the grave
Callen Watson eat down after reading

- "W It:at a magnificent woman I Although'
I could not ere her face on account of that
internal veil, vet. it l did, at, least, see Or
iintlitie of a form physically grand and
beautirtd." ,
After ocing possessed by such thoughts
f. , r some tint •, the doctor found it wits
time for him-to start for the train, to en
able him to meet an engagement he had
made in a neighboring city with a frhul.
Being in the city. the idea °mitred to
him that lie would scenic a blanket like
the missing one, which he did, and,bring
ing it home, he deposited it in his "back
office." where lie had kept his former one.
thinking he had done an act tending
toward his benefit—through the informa
tion given by him by the unknown la- i
dy.
The doctor thought it was very foolish
to do this. Ile thought it *as simply
useless to take this precaution; yet he
felt so impressed by the office %mit, that
he could not help (livening. upon it ; con
sequently lie was always thinking of
blankets.
Soon. in Lymptown there was rumors
rife of the perpetration of a terrible act
of grace robbery. Every one spoke of it.
Yet no one could think it possible that
the guilty. perpetrator could be. a native
of the e.
"'Old Jim Fenton" came out
with his say, which say was to the effect
that he could.and meant to, tell who the
villian.was. Jim said that he had proof
of the'crime that would fasten, tile guilt
on apertain young doctor, not it stranger
in the village by any means.
Of course Old Jim had. discovered, as
he thought, where the blanket belotiged,,
laid he meant to return it to its owner
with an unpleasantly scrirlons.honesty.
The excireffienthccidnitntense. The
whole village was aroused; criminal pros
ecution eame,and the blankets placed the
most' conspicuous part:. Ohl Jim's blank;
et was - silenced by-the new one, which the
defendant produced at the proper atal de•
Olive moment.
ThiSieene was sufficient to remove all
blame and odium from Cullen Watson.—
lie now tried to' discover • who might be
the fair one who lied so opportunely
,warned him of the danger, just paned.—
Indeed, the Writer would be too brief if he
omittO to . tell that th e doctor found
fair prote ctress, (ror she was fair,), and
was.Eatisfied'iii his - Mitt mind' that she
was 'The • must suitable woman in the

come, to this conclusion, he suggested the
propriety, of, the sweet ; one); taking the
responsibility of sustaining said relation
to the grave robber. " She'did as' any sen
