THE S0RANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 18!)7.

J HOW HE WON HER.
!
TJio poor tutor was alone with her;
and thouch It wna In the days when
men fought hard battles even apalnst
tholr own kinsmen, If they so thought
It was for the right, his heart throbbed
just as tho tutor's heart might throb
todny with the difference that ho had
not learned to count Its beats, as our
onamored youth, 200 years wiser, have
learned to do, In a self-controlled man
ner eminently conducive to tho steady
ing of that obstreperous organ.
What mattered tho great insurrec
tion, the cruelties of Judge Jeffries,
and a fugitive patron, with a price
upon his head when Love had sought
shelter In his heart, and she to whom
he had built a shrine was Just an far
away from him as tho width of the
table.
Of what consequence that she was
tho Lady Gertrude, the daughter of a
noblo conspirator, and he but a tutor
without land or wealth! So he con
tinued his story, looking at his book,
as If he were reading therefrom.
"And the poor man loved the rich
lady, and ho dared not tell her of his
love, lest she would scorn him."
"Then surely ho was fearful at a
nothing, which methlnks means ho was
a coward, Master Humphrey."
"A coward, If 'twere cowardly to
fear the anger of his lady "
"Why should he expect such anger?"
"He had naught to offer her but his
love."
"Love wore wealth enough! But I am
tired of your story. 'Tls not so good ns
you are wont to tell, Master Humphrey,
nnd 'tis our last lesson," sho added
very gently.
"You will not miss the lessons?"
"No, not my lessons, only the stories
I have loved some of them."
And she moved restlessly In her seat
as If she would say more, yet could
not And the words.
"But surely my father should be hero
even now." she murmured at last.
The poor tutor turned pale. "You will
go with hhtf to Holland?" he said.
"It would be too great a risk to ac
company him, but I follow tomorrow,
If all succeeds as we have planned. Ah,
If they should take him. They have
killed the duke. Why are they not sat
isfied? Poor Monmouth!"
"They will not take him!"
"Now at tho last moment I am ter
rified lest things should not go well.
Look at the time! He may be hero at
any moment. Indeed, ho should bo
here now!"
Then Lady Gertrude rose hastily and
stood tall even as the young tutor, by
her side with a look of eager Impati
ence on her fair face.
"Not yet come, I think," he said. "To
cross the marshes on foot needs Indeed
an hour."
So they stood Irresolute, each with
hearts for one another and thoughts
for the absent fugitive.
"There are learned men In Holland,
I am told," stammered the young man,
Irrelevantly.
"It Is so rumored; yet not more than
that, there would still be room for an
other, I am sure, Master Humphrey!"
Which pretty speech night overpow
ered tho equanimity of Master Hum
phrey and threw him into a discourt
eous silence like enough to pique his
noble pupil, who, Indeed, felt she had
made too bold and had lacked In mod
esty, since he would vouchsafe no an
Bwer. "Continue your story, sir," sho said,
with marked coldness. "I have no
mind for lessons Just now."
' There Is no more to tell, my lady,"
he said.
"Then 'tis a poor story."
'Twas a poor man."
"With a poor spirit!"
"Nay, do not challenge him, for ho
hath an Idea 'twere better to be poor
spirited than false-hearted."
"Why should he bo either?"
"Were It not a mean thing to harass
an unprotected lady and false to be
tray the trust of her noble parent, his
life for his country?"
To harrass her would bo wrong, sir;
to betray a trust a worse wrong; yet
I cannot see that. If ho loved the lady
well, ho would be doing either of these
things."
"Madam, were I, your humblo tu
tor, tho poor man, would you still so
reason?"
"Were you the man, Master Hum
phrey, I could but be sorry for the
lady?"
'"Tls a fair answer; I crave your par
don! Shall wo continue the transla
tion?" "Were you the man In truth, I should
be sorry for the lady to have so In
consistent a lover."
"Inconsistent, madam?"
"Who will make you love, wherever
ho may find a ready listener, though
In covert language that saves him
from a declaration. Pray Master Hum
phrey, If It bo as you declare, that you
are this man, convey my sympathlps
to the lady."
Now tho tutor rose In wrath, and
would have gone his way, for without
doubt his mistress was making sport of
him; but tho sound of faint footsteps
from behind the panelled wall arrested
his attention, and ho stood still, con
sidering whether 'twere best to go or
stay.
"It Is my father!" said the girl,
aware that he alone' knew tho secret
passage.
Then Master Humphrey saw a look
of Joyful relief rise to her pretty face,
and he remembered how brave she had
been, how good and noblo and fair she
was, and how miserable a worm wua
he; and so lifted his head In the pride
of humiliation, as humble-minded folk
aro wont to do, In such manner that
the Lady Gertrude found him as beau
tiful and arrogant as a king, for all
his shabby clothes and Blight stature

"'"'"Mftftfirfiffiffli

sudden haste.
"God bo with youl" answered tho
tutor, and ho bowed low.
Tho fugitive noble stood In the shad
ow of the open panelling, nnd the Lady
Ocrtrude, full of apprehension that ho
should stay too long, strained an ear
to catch any ominous sounds from
without and drank In eagerly the de
tailed plans he slowly explained of his
own escape to Holland, and her Jour
ney tlther on tho morrow by anothar
route.
When he ended there was a little
silence between them, ns with thoso
whoso hearts are too full to speak. It
was speedily broken, however.by a loud
ringing of the great boll, which rever
berated from the deserted court yard
below through tho house. The girl
hastened to the casement of the win
dow and,Iooked quickly out.
"There aro armed men," she sa'd;
"they have traced you here."
"Wary hounds!" he murmured, with
a look of grim humor "to tho hole,
but not within. Twenty minutes and
I shall be beyond tho most cunning
tenet's scent. God bo yitli wou, little
daughter. Keep them dallying hero
awhile. Remember, tomorrow nt Bal-
lam bridge, by nightfall."
Tho panel fell back and the Lady
Gertrude sat down to her books and
made much pretense uf mumbling to
herself as the old doorkeeper, scaro
stilcken and panting, tumbled Into tho
room with an officer of the king's ser
vice at his heels. "Soldiers!" said he.
"Ah, good Oliver, what Is their will?"
said she, not deigning to raise her eyes
from her book.
"No harm to so fair a hostess!" ex
claimed the intruder.
Whereupon the Lady Gertrude slowly
lifted her pretty head and scanned the
uncomely countenance and fat propor
tions of the officer with much delibera
tion. "Should fairness diminish harm, sir,
'twoie a pity there were no more of the
quality among his majesty's servants."
"A true, fair one, to a war of words.
I am here to crave your hospitality
whilst waiting for the presence of one
who, I am informed, purposes to visit
his daughter between the timo of noon
and midnight. You start! 'Tls now
hardly noon. We demand to know In
the king's name at what precise hour
that Interview Is to take place."
"Sir!"
" 'Twere well, madam, to save that
pretty head; for those who wilfully
harbor the treacherous Monmouth's fol
lowers can receive no clemency from
his most gracious majesty, King James.
Their life Is the forfeit, man or wo
man." "Sir," said Lady Gertrude, after some
moments of seeinlnc fearful delibera
tion. "I await my lord, mv father,
here within an hour from now; and
may God curse you for a coward!"
The fat soldier grinned. The lady's
bark was not loud enough, but her bite
iv as, Indeed, most easily averted with
a threatening whip, ns was the way
with women; so he sat his broad per
son down and did all that which ho
thought would beguile so pretty a
sinew from her gretful humor.
Pull three quarters of an hour thus
rasped, when news was brought by a
breathless soldier that the Earl of W
had boarded a frigate not fifteen min
utes since, and as was related In all
seriousness had doffed his hat In
acknowledgment of tho fiery halute
tromjbore.
Wijjfupon the fat soldier got up In
a feaffljl rage, and kicked and swore,
es oriTvf a gentleman soldier knows
veil how to do, and Enarled aloud that
nothing should save the cunning Jade
fiom the lively fate of Mistress Gaunt,
who, indeed, was burned to death for
a lesser misdemeanor.
But the Lady Gertrude lifted up her
Trend head and said:
"Even so, I shall deem my father's
life most cheaply bought, sir."
And she walked out between the file
of armed men, who, Indeed, were sor
ly for so brave and fair a creature,
taken thus roughly a prisoner.
Tho poor tutor sat over his books
In tho upper loom of a small dwell
ing house, and wrestled with his
thoughts till he know not which was
conscience and which the devil, most
plaguing him; for the Lady Gertrude
had said' that love was wealth, yet his
rooms betrayed no signs thereof.
He had a little piece of land not tar
away, from which he acquired a small
Income; yet withal these things could
In nowise be counted riches.
Indeed, no.thought he, when hurled
footsteps upon the stair became con
fused with his wandering fancies, and
ere ho had time to weigh the matter,
Lady Gertrude stood before him.
And then something of a sweet shy
ness came over her, so that all In u
great hurry she set to explaining how
sho had been taken prisoner by the
Irate colonel, and how, Indeed, sho had
escaped through the help of a cousin
among tho officers, who, sho avowed,
had once cared greatly for her.
Then the boy and girl, for they were
not much else, looked Into one an
other's eyes, as they had looked these
many past days during tho lessons ho
had set out to teach her; and now
there was no table between them, so
that he knelt down, and taklnjfe both
her little white hands In his he covered
them with humble kisses, the 'which
tho lady seemed to havo no desire to
resent.
"So, after all, Master Humphrey, you
mu3t needs take care of your pupil still
a little while longer. Tomorrow at Bal

further learning. Yet till then I must
remain prisoner hero for fear of my
very life," laughod she.
Now, hardly had she spoko than a
clamor without sent the blood from
his cheek, nnd fear at lnr.t Into tho
dauntless eyes of tho Lady Gertrude.
"Quick! Within I" said ho, and thrust
open tho door of tho narrow chamber
and closed It upon her. Then1 tho steady
tramp of men's feet echoed upon the
winding stair.
"In the king's namel" said a tnll
ofilcer, as ho entered tho room, fol
lowed by several men at arms. There
was a strange look In his eyes an he
met the tutor's gaze, and ho faltered
In his speech whilst repeating the com
mon formula.
"There Is no one hero," answered the
student, deliberately.
"It Is necessary tho placo should be
searched," replied the officer, " and T
must warn you that If the prisoner be
found, your life will be forfeited with
out trial, as a traitor harboring those
In conspiracy ngalnst his majesty's
crown."
"There Is no one here," repeated the
tutor.
"Search," said tho ofilcer. He had
grown pale as tho poor youth, who
bent with seeming Indifference over his
books and clung close to his chair as
tho men approached the little door,
which opened suddenly from within, as
a beautiful youth In a velvet suit,
with fine lace ruffs and a mass of
brown, curly hair, falling negligently
about his shoulders, such as was then
the fashion to affect, confronted the
ofilcer.
"What noisy matter Is this?" said
he, haughtily. "Is there no peace even1
for students, who, loyal to his majesty,
claim but the quiet of their chambers
to peruso the books which tell of
mightier deeds than those of tho In
ternal wars of a discontented people?"
Now a look of humor crept Into the
officer's eyes as he bowed perhaps low
er than was necessary to so young
and haughty a youth.
"I am grieved to so disturb you, sir,"
said he. "We havo been misinformed,
for, apparently, the lady we seek Is
not here," and ho turned upon his feet
and departed with his men from tho
lowly roof of the poor tutor.
"Master Humphrey," said the beau
tiful youth and his face was crimson
even as tho Bkles nftcr the sun hath
set "you risked being hung on high,
Master Humphrey, for me." And there
were tears In his eyes.
Then, Indeed, did nearly all Master
Humphrey's fortitude depart. "Lad,
'twere but a paltry thing to risk," said
ho, and bowed his head as one
ashamed, and within himself he
thought:
"Now, Indeed, I cannot woo her, for
'twould bo the way of a coward to
thus force advantage of a maid's grat
itude." But the while he was ponderlns she
stole up to him, and ho know not how
It happened, but he wooed her Just the
same. Pall Mall Gazette.

When Ho Ucgnn to Punic Over It.
Prom tho Celveland Plain-Dealer.
It was a far Western weekly of the
usual type. Its four pages were sorely
crowded and the editor permitted noth
ing to be "leaded," not even his lead
ing editorial. It was the weok before
Washington's birthday, and the editor
had launched forth In a glowing trib
ute to tho memory of the departed. Jn
the midst of It he had Inserted two
lines from Lelsh Hunt's "Abou Ben
Adhem," "And lo! Ben Adhem's name
led all the rest." It was a line effort,
and the editor consigned It to the hands
of the ancient fossil who set type, read
proof, made up and run off the paper
with considerable personal satisfaction.
What was his astonishment, then, to
notice In the printed sheet that awaited
him the next morning that more than
half the Washington editorial was
leaded! He hastily called the ancient
fossil.
"How does this happen?" he cried, as
he pointed to the offending column. "It
looks real neat and tasty, doesn't It?
First half of the article solid and t'other
half leaded. How In thunder did It
happen?"
"Why," said the aged fossil, as he
looked over the top ot his spectacles,
"It was your own orders, you know."
"My orders?"
"Yes, o' course. It seemed kind o'
funny to me at th' time, but you writ
It down so plain I couldn't see no other
way to do It."
"What do you mean?"
"Here, I'll show you th' copy," and
the aged fossil was back In a moment
with the written sheets, leaflng them
over rapidly as ho advanced.
"There," he said, "you can sec for
yourself."
"Hold on," cried tho editor, as he
continued to scowl at the paper, "where
the dickens Is the rest of this, quota
tion? Here, you've chopped It oft at
'Ben Adhem's name.' "
"There's the copy," said the old fos
sil stolidly.
The editor bent over It.
"You notice," said the aged fossil,
"that you wrote the foreign feller's
nafne 'Lo Ben Adhem's name, and
then you put In 'Led all the rest' and,
by gum, I leaded It, o' course!"
And the editor had never a word to
say.

Writing In tho Metaphysical Mnga
zlno W. A. Gay narrates this curious
eplde: "In the latter part of October,
1S00, I took tho train for Spokane,
Wash., leaving Seattle at 0.40 p. In. I
was accompanied to tho station by my
huslness associate. Our conversation
was of the ordinary sort letween
partners. Nothing was said about tho
trip or of problematical dangers. I
was delighted to find In tho smoking
room of tho Pullman sleeping-car some
congenial friends, with whom I en
gaged In conversation about tho ap
proaching election. Our talk lasted
until about 11 o'clock, when we all re
tired to our berths.
"I had made several trips over tho
road, and knew Us general condition
to bo first-clars. I had no apprehen
sions; In fact, I was no sooner In my
berth than I became drowsy, sinking
into a deep slumber. I nm somewhat
of a profound sleeper, not usually pre
disposed to dreams which I can after
ward recall In my waking hours. How
ever, I slept through the cntlro night,
but was awakened suddenly In the
morning by a most vivid dream. I
bad dreamed that I was on board a
train, stowed comfortably away In a
Pullman berth; that tho cars wer;
about to approach a bridge spanning a
river, and that I was awake. It seemed
to mo that I was warned from tho
tourco the exact nature of which I do
not recall of an Impending danger,
the only escape from which was by
Jumping from the train. I thought I
refused to Jump and laughed at tho
warning; that the trnln went slowly
on, I noting all the scenes en route;
and that we soon rnmo to the approach
of a bridge which spanned a large
utream of water. I carefully examined
the bridge, its approach, and many
surrounding details. I thought thkat,
as we nearod Its centre, a span broke
and we were precipitated toward a deep
whirling stream of blue water. From
the time I was warned to Jump, the
train beginning to 'slow, the fences
and trees along the right of Way, the
approach to the bridge. Its 'bents,' the
water, and the disaster wore all most
wonderfully real so real that I awak
ened with a cry, es I thought tho bridge
and train were sinking toward the
water.

"I found myself sitting In my berth
shuddering with terror. Everything nt
first was unfamiliar. The trains was
pursuing Its regular course and all
seemed well. Suddenly i saw a fami
liar object a stump, with a log at
tached. In an Instant other fnmlllar
objects came In view. At first I could
not distinguish them, but In a moment
the thought was forced on me that
they were the scenes I had beheld in
my dream. The engineer had reduced
speed somewhat, nnd familiar scenes
and localities became more distinct.
At once I passed the placo where' I
was warned to jump and had refused.
I looked In amazement. I could then
jump with safety, as tho train was go
ing slowly, but I did not attempt It. I
was bewildered. We entered tho ap
proach of a bridge the 'bents' were
tho same, the train was moving the
same, and the water was blue and
deep, as In my dream. I was so fright
ened that I sat In my berth holding
firmly to the bar under tho window
and waited for death. Rut ' " train

There were no accidents on t. . . or uny

ANOTHER INSTANCE.
Another tale more singular still Is
thus narrated: In 1891, while the late
Wiley S. Scrlbner was recorder of
Cook county, Illinois, he had In his
employ an old gentleman named
Speare, who was taken 111 and obliged
to leave. Mrs. Scrlbner, who had
chai'ge of one department of the of
fice, knew casually of the occurrence,
but, as the Illness proved a lingering
cne, the man's placo was given to an
other. In an ofllce of two or three hun
dred clerks, the matter soon passed
out of mind.
Some months later, In the murky
watches of a Chicago night, Speare
suddenly appeared at Mrs. Scrlbner's
bedside, and said, placidly and dis
tinctly: "You see, I am well at last,
Mrs. Pcrlbner; and I wanted to tell you
that all along the doctors mistook my
caso and treated me for erysipelas,
while the real trouble was blood-poisoning."

' CONFIRMED.
By nine o'clock the next morning,
when Mrs. Scrlbner entered tho court
house, all midnight visions were as far
from her thought as garish day with
its crowding calls could banish them.
As she went down the dingy hall, how
ever, tho first person sho met said,
abruptly: "Mr. Scrlbner, did you know
that Mr. Speare, who used to work In
your husband's office, died last night?"
Startled nnd almost terrified as tho
night vision returned, sho answered as
briefly ns possible, expressing her re
gret und surprise, and hastened on.
But, before sho had reached the re

of her night vision. He also added
that nt tho last moment tho physicians

Atlantic Ocean, July 3. The new,
large and powerful steamship Lucanta
lies at anchor In the Hudson river at
Pier 40, ready to direct Us course over
the vast ocean eastward, tho host of
passengers on board were strangers to
me except five, Mrs. Henry Thomas
nnd son Harry and Mrs. John B. Davis
and children, Emellno nnd Amy, all 'ot
Scranton. By the way, Mrs. Davis Is
my companion. We left Pier 40 at 8 a.
m. The boat moved so quietly we did
not know we had started. After watch
ing the departure of friends, some wav
ing handkerchiefs, others waving large
bouquets of flowers, some laughing,
others crying, we descended to the din
ing room and partook of an excellent
breakfast. Going on deck the weather
was all we could wish it to be, the sun
shone brightly, the sea calm, and so
great was- our pleasure that the din
ner gong rang long before we expected
It. The next thing on the programme
was going up on deck; the weather was
a continuance of the morning. The
main feature of the afternoon enter
tainment was the approach of a num
ber, probably ten or fifteen, large fish
jumping high out of the water, ns If
playing hlde-nnd-seek. July 4. This Is
our national holiday, also the Sabbath,
which Is observed better than wo an

other decorntlons Indicating a holiday.
Even the horizon represented our na

We spent the first part of this morn

1.30 o'clock we went to first cabin
saloon, In which Church of England
services were conducted by the purser.
At 12 o'clock today we hnvo traveled
COS miles. We spent the greater part
of the afternoon down In tho steerage
listening to the singing. There are
some fine voices down there (Welsh, ot
course) and the singing sounds very
sweet on the water.

heretofore; sea rather rough, but J um

party nre all quite well, and to assure
you that we are not lonely, I will give

Flrht cabin, 390; second cabin, 430
steerage, B50; crew, 430, making a to
tal of 1610, a floating town and we
are able to distinguish every Amer'
can by the badge worn; that of "Old
Glory." Just after tea this evening we
sighted the first ship. She saluted and
our ship returned the salute. It seem
ed good to see something to break tho
monotony of sky and water. From 12
o'clock yesterday to 12 o'clock toduy
we have traveled 494 miles.
July G Another night has passed
and this Is a beautiful morning, one
of the finest we have witnessed on the
trip, but the officials have n sad duty
to preform. During the night a little
child of the steerage died nnd they
burled It In the sea this morning. Oh,
it was something dreadful to behold.
A box covered with a "Union Jnck."
which, when taken oft revealed a lit
tle black coffln, which was thrown Into
the seething water and tossed about a
few seconds; then went from sight
forever. The words of the poet came
tu my mind so vividly!
"It matters not, I've oft been told
Where tho body may lie when the heart Is
cold
Make me a grave far out on the lee
But bury mo not In tho deep, deep sea."
Y spent the greater part of the day
on deck maklns new acquaintances.
July 7 Another lovely day has
dawned with the sea like glass, the
ship balling beautifully, and every one
talking and getting ready for the con
cert this evening. Nothing partlculir
has taken place during the day and
tho time for opening tho concert has
arrived and while our people are pre
1 urlng, the steerage passengers nre
giving a fine concert. So you can seo
that we aro all happy so far.
July 8 Another beautiful morning,
but the vessel Is rocking so badly that
It Is almost Impossible to write and
much moro Impossible to keep on our
feet, and wo are beginning to feel lllco
saying:
"Oh! happy mon.lrg when again we see
the land.
And with our Aved ones on the shore wo
stand."
They nre busy getting the baggaga
ready for Queenstown. They expect to
rench there this evening, I shall havo
to draw this letter to a close In order
to mall It on tho boat. Hoping to write
to you again, I remain, Morfudd,
Howl Shnpos for Centrepieces.
The housekeeper has often been em
barrassed by tho difficulty of arrang
ing short-stemmed flowers as a centre
piece for her dinner table. The long,
tall vasea and beakers are of-no man
ner of use. Nor Is a bowl much bet
ter. The florists, however, will sell
perforated wlro shapes made to fit over
the mouth of any bowl. Tho shapes rlss
