TIIS JUDGE'S EAUC-EEIi.
BY IlEKECCA FOUHES.
So'sad is my story nnd so true, that it
seems branded into my memory in letters
of firo. It is no story conjured up by im
noioution, nor yet one that needs any gloss
ing over by a fertile pen. All itsincidouts
ara real none pxtiojrcratcd.
Not miuiy years a haughty old man, a
judjio of incorruptible morals, died, leaving
behind him two children.
Alter his death it was found that he'd
not o:i'ti so wealthy as many had imagined,
jet rich t'liouh to leave to each daughter
a moderate eoiiijxdence.
To tho eldot. Mster descended the home
stead and a suQioicut income to keep up
some ot thsir former t-tyle; to the youngest
twenty thousand dollars, invested in an old
a. id lru:y batik.
From iufiitioy E.-!tlle, the eldest, had
beeu aeti'taitited with a poor but proud
spirited boy. She hud watched his inef
fectual si rubles for an eductition such as
he d.'.sired, udmiiino; his uucontjuerable
umbition, and its he Beared manhood he be
came her most ardent lover.
But tho old judi) demurred. No
daughter of his should encourage the at
tentions c.1 a penniless youth their inti
macy must cease.
Obeuicut as a child she listened to her
father's commands, and obeyed them im
plicitly. He surrounded Lor with gay company ;
he did even thin:: that wealth or taste
could sa-ii.'rtt. to win her mind away from
her boy lover. But though she uttered
no complaints, ho knew that shu did not
foi-et. '
At lust she died. lie did uot bind her
wuh any pfom's.s. I;rhap-i in death his
ryes dicovi'tcl that it needs more than
wealth to bi!t!; happiuo.'.
After hef bereavement Rupert Kin
laud came to her ar tin.
'' -telle, my love," he said passionately ;
'I cuuld not keep away from you any
longer. It sei?uis wrcn to you for mo to
cotno to you, now that he bn, .-otie, wheu 1
know Low much opposed ho was to me ;
but darling you ate iu trouble, and I mu-t
comfort vou.''
gho did not chide him. She believed
her father must have relented or else he
would have spokeu and fcrlidden her to
receive him utter his death. She wept
atid sol. like a child.
"Rupert," she returned, "if you had for
saken me now I should indeed be deso
late." "Aud to leave you ever will kill me !''
he ejaculated impetuously. "Curse my
fortune, that I uiu&t be forever debarred
from you '."
Sho started.
'Don't 6ptak so fiercely, Rupert," she
pleaded. "No oue stands between us
now."
"Yes, poverty stands between us, as it
ever did," he replied. ''Never will I take
advantage of his decease to step unworthily
where he forbade me. If I ever can ob
tain my wish aud become a great and
famous physician, Estelle, then would I
be proud to come to you."
"Where would you go to become a doe
tor," she asked.
'I would study in England, France aud
Germany," was his eager response. "To
be a commonplace physician would not
satisfy me. I must be equal of the most
cuiineul."
For a moment she was silent.
"Rupert," she observed presently, "the
way is open for you at last. My mouey is
left untouched. Ia no way would its use
give, me so lmteh joy as to know it was
aiding you to obtaiu your life's desiro.
You shall go to England, Franco and Ger
many. Only reijsru to me as pure as you
leave me."
For a time ho opposed Euch a sugges
tion, lie could uot except her mouey.
But iu proportion to his unwillingness to
reeeive became her eagerness to bestow.
At last he consented. He would only
consider it a loan, to bo repaid at some
future day, He would Bend to her as to a
banker, for what he required, and remain
away some four or five years.
Her eister was very much opposed to H
wheu iuformed what Estelle proposed to
do,
"You arc unwise, Estelle," she said
angrily, to draw from your capital to give
to biiu. I doubt LU goodness I doubt
hU ever retuiuiug."
Estelle was wouuded but not discouraged.
She made him a present of a very hand
some gold watch and chain, aud money
eDough to dciray all bis expenses inciden
tal to his journey and first admittance to a
medical school. Then he was to write to
her, and she was to send him more.
His first two years was Kpent id Eng
land, and he received money from her
every quarter. He lived iu style, even
luxury ; surrounded himself with every
thing he could wish for ; though sometimes
she thought him extravagant in his habits,
she made no inquiries nor comments,
Her sister married aud went to Califor
nia, and Estelle was left alone to watch
and wait the still rcmaiuing three years of
his abscucc.
lie went to Germany. lie remained
there two years longer. The last years of
his proposed absence he wrote to Estelle
thus :
My Love: "I do not know how to say
what 1 wish. My five yeurs have nearly
expired. I believe T am Bearing the goal,
which, save for the goodness of your truo
and coble heart, I never could have hoped
to obtain, but yet I am uot satisfied. I
wish to see you so much, my poor, love
bird'iug, that betimes I am ready to drop
everything, give up every future hope for
this world or the next, to fly to you. But
I restraiu myself. I wish to be entirely
worthy of jou, and all you have done for
me vl;eu I do return, Oh ! if I only could
remain here two years longer I might ac
complish therein."
She pursued that part of his letter
Two years more 1 Two years of lone wait
iug seven years of weary watching!
b'he let uot even a si-h escape from
her lips. Her trust iu him was simplicit.
There is a passage in the Holy writ
which says :
"There is no fear iu love, but perfect
love caslcth out fear; because fear hath
torment."
He that feareth is not made perfect in
eavthly love she knew no fear 1 It would
he hard for him to stay away two years
longer, but if he desired it, she couid not
complain.
She did not thiuk how her youth was
leaving her she did not care. The only
questiou was how she could obtain the
money.
She had already lent him, so great had
been Lis extravagance, every penny of her
principal.
She took vp her pen and thus wrote :
'Rupert, God only knows how much I
long for you each day ; but if it is your
wish to remain away two years more, do
uot let that deter you. You know my
father did uot leave me so well provided for
as was anticipated, aud now all is gone ex
cept tho homestead. If you think the two
years necessary, I will mortgage it."
He did think two more year3 exquisite,
but he wrote so touching!- about her sacri
fice that it seemed almost as if he was con
ferring a favor on her by taking it, than
her ou him by giving.
It was mortgaged. Every dollar she
realized was scut to him. Her one ser
vant she had dispensed with them one by
one was discharged. Then she stood
aloue! What was she to do?
She could not appeal to her sister ; she
remembered the tauuts that her sister Lad
exteuded to her.
Site went out and procured a situation as
governess ! l'cople blamed her for her
folly, but she smiled serenely. Her re
ward was yet to come, she believed Rupert
would compensate her for ill t
Tho two years passed away, and even
she could not deny to herself that she had
lailcd greatly during that time. Thcu a
letter came to her; it said,
"My patient dove, I am coming at lust.
Be ready for me in May. Write me ono
more letter."
Accompaying it were papers contaiuing
notices of him aud his medical e kill. Amer
ican papers congratulated themselves upon
going to have such a rare acquisition to
the medical fraternity. She read aud wept
tears of joy.
He was coming at last !
'You must uot be surpiscd,' she wrote in
her respective epistle, 'to fiud me much
changed. I thiuk my health Las failed
quite rapidly.'
Ah ! to Low many hearts such an an
nouncement would havo carried terror !
She kuew the nauio of the ship
in which Le was to sail, aud watched the
slow, seemingly endless, days go by.
She was full of peaceful joy j he was
coming she was content. Those that
Lucw l:cr said ehe wore the expression of
an angel. Be that as it might her Leart
wore the happiness of one !
She heard when the steamship arrived.
They only lived twenty miles distant
surely he would come the next day. But
the next day came, and the next, and next
but he came not.
She saw his name among the list of ar
rivals, was he sick? She was tempted to
go down and see, when a gentleman called
upon her.
'I have seen your friend Dr. Kingsland
in tho city,' he said. 'He told me to in
form you that he had been detained Lut
would soon be up.'
The announcement took one pang from
her heart only to add -another. He was
well she thatiked God for that; but could
she have been within twenty miles of him,
for a week, withiout sending him a mes
sage ?
That was all tho reproach she allowed
her gentle heart to make, while she formed
a thousand excuses for his cruel neglect.
Two weeks more weut past, nnd they
numbered thtec. Thcu a uote came, which
commenced as follows :
My Dear Friend: 'I feel as if I can
say to you through a note, that which I
wish to say, better than face to face. Es
telle, you have been my best friend, my
good Samaritan, aud I am sure you will
rejoice at my happiness. I was married
last uight to Miss Mary Morse. You re
member her ! A young lady of wealth,
beauty, and good position in society,'
She read no more. Some one iu the ad
joining room heard a heavy fall, and rushed
in. They found her on the floor, apparently
dead. They picked her up and sent for a
physician.
'A severe shock,' was Lis conclusion.
'She is dying of the heart disease.'
She became scnsable again, but her
heart was utterly broken1 Seven years of
waiting, and then the false hearted lover
had left her left her, after squandering
her property, to dye iu poverty ?
Even then she uttered uo complaints.
She had all his letters, little keepsakes, and
every trifle pertaining to him brought to
her. She bound them up and addressed
them to him.
'After I am gone send them to Lim,'
she said.
A week later they laid her away, and
fulfilled her last requost.
He began to practice early and Lis suc
cess was wonderful, despite his notoriety
which his fajesness had brought upon him.
Ou the first uight after he returned from
Europe, Mary Morse gave a patty. She
made her brother promise to watch
Dr. Kingsland, and bring him up with Lim,
"See if I do not win him from that falcd
Estelle Asherton !' she exclaimed, beforo
Le met Lcr.
And sLe did so. His fickle heart easily
proved recreant to the vow of love, every
tye of Louor.
Two yeais after, sLo was about to go
down a flight of stairs, when she uttered a
loud shriek and fell forward to the bottom.
When she became concious she said.
'Estelle Asherton stood at tho foot of the
stairs !'
Whether it was a delusion of her guilty
concience or not, we can never kuow.
Any way, the fall fractured her spine, and
until this day, she is a miserable, repining
cross, faded invalid' fiightcDed to be lelt
alone for a moment. And he is a prema
turely old consceicnco stricken wretch, en
during all the pangs of earthly purgatory.
Verily my friend is being avenged ! It
is God's just retribution.
A Victim of Sack Eoor
A man staggered into our sauelum ihtu
morniug who bore the appearance of Laviug
beeu badly stayed with. His hat was gone,
Lis clothes soiled and his face dirty, bloated
aud disfigured with wouuds. Dropping
piomiscuously into a chair, Le Loarscly
murmured :
WLat is the matter with you old fellow ?'
we iuquired.
"Back doors, I tell ye (hie) tha's wha's
cr ma'er."
'Explain yourself.'
'Read mayot's or'er closing frou' door
s'loons Sun'y, didn't ye ?'
'Yes.
'So'ut I ! Took grau' tour 'vestigatiou
yes'day, 't see '1 laws 'keeped.'
Well, wLat was the result V
'This is er 'suit. Ha! Laz (hie) Le!
drunk'rn Liled owl?'
'Yes, any body can see that, lut did you
find the front door closed V
'0 yes, the frou' doors were closed, but
lordy ! how mauy back doors I found open
Didn't know there was s'many back doors
in Cine'nali. They mus' have sent away
and got some Lack doors somewhere. S'loons
closed in front Lut they were open be (Lie)
hind as a fanning mill. I tried 'em all.
Some had one back door, others Lad two or
thrco es'ra ones cut in 'specially, and one
s'loon in er Wes End had (hie) 'hule back
end taken out to 'commodate the crowd,
I ought to be on the board of health,' bo
continued, altera pause, 'know more 'bout 1
coudition of er alleys and back yards than
any man in the city. There's ono thing 'bout
it, if this business of closing Iron' doors
Sunday keeps on, they'll have to widen .'er '
Alleys wasn't half big enough yes'day to '
com'date the crowd.'
"Was the rush for drinks as bad as that V '
'Wus 1 S'loons f uJl all er time, and alley
full of thirsty men waitin' their time to get
it. Had to take turns, same as barbershop
Sun'y rnorniu'."
'Didn't any saloons Lave their front doors
open '("'
'A few, but they didn't have any cus
mere to mction. Fact is, folks rather like
sneakin' through alleys and into back doors
for a drink. Hain't been drunk 'fors'n
dogs ago m'self. I can walk bol'Iy by a
s'loou with er fron' door wide open, bu
shut it and hiut about a back eo'rance;
and I'll fin' it sure. It's human nature,
sure'sye live."
'The new regulation seems to Lave af
fected you rather disastrously."
'You're mighty right. I am sufferin' from
too many back doors. The absence of
fron' blinds Las 'fected my (hie) constitu
tion. 'Sidcr myself a mar'yr to er May's
mean old proe'ermatton 'bolishiu' fron' dors,
und I want mons'rate 'gaint it through r
press. 'Nuther Suod'y with them cussed
back doors au' your uncle's gone. Allevs
is too mauy for me. Back doors is my
ruin.' and with this he departed.
