THURSDAY MORNING. DEC. 6, 1860
iéfifilfiém
An errant coquette was Caroline Faulkner,
with the bluest, merrieet eyes, the reddest,
poutingest lips; the prettiest, bewitching ways
that ever made and hovoc with unguarded
hearts and those proved to have been many,
in the town of Readingville—all the way from
the SQuire's son and the young student minis
ter, down to the young man who-helped her
father on his form. All the way down—that;
is, it‘ hearts are measured by the social standing
of their possessor-s.
It was a convincing proof of the wisdom of
the victims, at. least, the care they took, when
their) hearts were irrevocably in the little'eo
'quette's power, to fence round the place where
‘ there had been a. high, impenetrable wall of
resolves and avoidances and coldness. It is
doubtful if they answered any good purpose,
however, except to keep out the truant things,
, in case they had the power to get back.
As for the young lady herself, it. is uncertain
whether she possessed {my such troublesome
appendage of her own. Perhaps that was the
reason she wanted so many of other people's.
Most certainly, if she had a. heart, it had never
yet caused her any trouble, or would she not.
have been more considerate of others?
Therefore, Caroline Faulkner, in the quiet
town of Reodingville, managed to enjoy herself
tolerably well, sporting with men’s hearts as a
child. with its toysll thinking these dangerous
pluythings mode for her dspocial breaking and
tormenting, and rejoicing in every new victim to
her fascinations. . ,
And when the Squire's proud son, resentful
at her teasing and caprices, incautiously de
clared that he would rather marry any girl
within twentymiles, were she ever so poor and
ignorant, than Curry Faulkner, and it; was re
peated to her. (for who ever knew words of
that kind to remain idle?) how the elf’s eyes
sparkled with glee, and what silvery laughter
issued from her sweet mouth as she arched her
white neck and threw back her auburn curls.
That evening, at singing school, she smiled
so sweetly on' the young squire, and looked so
approachable, that he was almost beside him
self with hope and joy; and when he walked
home with her, which she graciously permitted
him to do, he was foolish enough to ask her to
marry him. And then how innocently surprised
naughty Garry looked as she said:
“1 am very sorry, Mr, Hubert, I thought you
understood me when I told you I could be no
more than a friend to you.”
Mr. Hubert Clayton—that: was his name
turned rather quickly on his heel and went
away.
Garry went tripping along the pink bordered
path to the house, stopped on the wood-vine
covered piazza, and looked at the sky.
The door opened behind her, and a young
man appeared. He said, very coolly,
“Hurry in, _Miss Faulkner, I am going to
lock the door.” '
“I don’t. care about hurrying, thank you. It
is a splendid evening. 1 am looking at the
stars. See how bright they are." ‘
Perhaps Miss Caroline was not. unwilling to
say “no” again't-hat evening; for she looked up
very Bmilingly in the young man’s face, though
he was only her father’s “man," and one could
see, even by the moonlight, that he was dressed
very plainly,- ‘and rejoiced, besides, in the r - 1
mantis name of John Smith. ' 1
He must have been very cold or stupid or
something, for he answered dryly:
“I cannot wait for you to look at the moon;
lam too sleepy. You can lock the door when
you get ready tocome in,” and walked up
stairs.
Too sleepy to gaze at the moon with a bean
tiful girl for company! ’ No wonder Carry was
indignant. She did not stay out much longer,
star-gazing, but came in directly, and turned
the key rather energetically; and two or three
times the word. “bear’? esoaped her lips. To
whom, or what did she refer? Perhaps her
mind wandered to menageries in general, and
something or somebody had suggested bears in
particular. Be that as it may, it was the hub
den of her song until she fill asleep, .
Mr. John Smith had been Mr. Faulkner’s
“help” but a. short time. His coming there was
accidental.
Some weeks since a very plainly dressed
young man had called at the door to requestza
glass of water. While little Charley Fattlkner
was gone to the well to get some fresh and cool
water, and the men was waiting in the hall,
Mr. Faulkner came in quite troubled, and told
his wife and daughter that the hired man he
had engaged had disappointed him, and he did
not know what in the world he could do just
now. Buying time, too,»he did not knew of
any other person he could employ.
The stranger’s eye twinkled as he heard;
and, turning to the farmer, modestly ofi‘ered
his services, adding that he was not very strong
yet, having only lately recovered from a fever;
but should be very glad to do what he was able
for his board. His eyes wandered udmiringly
to the farmer’s daughter while he spoke.
His olfer was eagerly accepted by the farmer;
though, but for his need, he would have looked
a little doubtfully at his slender figure and
delicate hands.
“ Why, father,” whispered the more carefu
wifei,“ he may be a thief, 01' a. State prison eon
vict.
“Nonsense, wife! Just trust me for the
reading of countenance. 'He is as honest a
feliow as ever breathed,” said the farmer. de
cidedly. ‘
And so the stranger stayed. It was some
what remarkable that: an exception to all pre
ceding rules was made in his favor; and that
he sat daily at the same table with Mr. and Mrs.
Faulkner, Curry, and her little brother.
It must he confessed, however, that Mrs.
Faulkner had. some seruples, at first, about
breaking old oustoms‘, and establishing a prece
dent which might be productive of trouble with
other help, hereafter; but she was overruled
by Gerry and her father. It is uncertain if Mr.
Smith duly appreciated the honor of this ex
ception in his favor, possibly not expecting
any other course ofprooeeding. Meet certainly,
he seemed perfectly at home where he was
; placed.
? Genial, witty, good natured, he was soon a
great favorite with the family. He and Carry
bectlme good friends, but, in spite of the fasci
nations of the letter, he had not, thus far, ex
hibited, in the least, serious symptoms of any
mention of the heart. Miss Carry began to
feel named at his apparent insensibility.
At {halittle merry meetings in the neighbor‘-
hood, It seemed a. matter of no interest to him
whom she coquetted with, so long as there were
0919' pretty girls present. And in spite Of
his menial situation, the prettiest and the best I
looked very kindly upon him, for he was gay
and handsome, and soon a. party was not
thought complete unless he was present-
The squire’a son turned a. very cold shyuldet
to him, however; and when he met him he
would look as if.he did not see nnybody, though
he had been introduced any number of times.
Bllt it was all the same to Mr. Smith, end he
made himself vastly agreeable; told stones and
proposed all sorts of new games they had
never so much as heard of; and the young la
dies laughed and thought them charming, while
the young squire frowned, and muttered “im
pudent l” ' '
As for Carry, sometimes she laughed the
merriest of all. and sometimes she did’nt.-——
She was governed by all sorts of enpmoes in
this respect. It was the opinion of the young
people generally, including, of late, Mr. Smith
also, that Caroline Faulkner, in her heart, if
she had any, liked the young squire as well. if
not better, than any other gentleman, and
would eventually listen favorably to his suit;
for he was rich and good looking, and many
of the richest girls in the country would have
jumped at the chance of marrying him—and
Carry would have only a moderate.portion.—
He seemed in better favor than ever previously.
Of late a coldness had existed _between Car
ry and Mr; Smith, perhaps arising from the
fact that he had one day invited her to accom
pany'him to a pic-nic. Her heart was in a
flutter of pleasure as she assented; for it was
the first time he had ever given her an invita
tion to accompany him. Just before the time
for starting, the squire drove around in a new
buggy for her. An unfortunate caprice seized
her to go with him, “just to see,” she said,
“ if Mr. John Smith would-mind.”
Mr.’Smith didn’t ‘mind, or didn’t seem to,
and said it was quite as well. He was glad
she pleased herself, and appeared quite as
usual at the pic-nic; at which the inconstant
girl was sadly disappointed—for she had hoped
he would mind a good deal. But, somehow,
after this she felt a change ; and he had never
invited her to go anywhere since—though once,
when she was half dying to go, and the'squire,
offended at something, kept provokingly aloof;
Mr. Smith had the coolness and impudence to
go oti' alone, and leave her moping at home.—
Could she ever forgive him—the strange, inc
comprehensible man ‘2
One morning, quite early, the young squire
went, as if accidentally, to the place where the
worthy old farmer was at work; he praised his
farm and crops, and then carelessly said :
“ Mr. Smith is quite valuable help; is he
not,? By the way, where did you pick him
up -)7
The good farmer, in the honesty of his
heart, related the whole circumstance, not omit
ting his wife’s fears and hesitation, and exalted
in the proof of his own sharp-sightcdness, add-
Ea
“I can tell a rogue as far as I can see him.
Smith has been with me now over two months,
and he seems as dear to me as my own son. I
have to be somewhat careful of him, for you see
he is rather delicate, and I shouldn’t think had
been used to much hard' work.”
“ You say he came from up above? The State
Prison is in that direction, is it not?” asked
the squire in a peculiar tone. ‘
But it was all to no purpose. The farmer
was too honest himself to understand more
than people actually said, so he answered
cheerihr:
“ Certainly ; it is only about twenty miles
from here. You ought (.0 know that, yourself,
squire."
“0 he! I have you now, my fine,;bold fel
low!” he said to himself.
At a social party, two evenings . after, to
which Caroline and Mr. Smith had been invited
some days previously, the latter did not go till
quite late. It appearedto him on his entrance,
that his greetings were received coldly and
constrainedly, but he concluded it was all im
agination. When he sought. a partner for tie
set. they were forming, singularly enough, t 9
young ladies were all engaged. This had not
happened to his experience before, and he was
naturally somewhat perplexed.
“The next ?” he asked of a pretty. blooming
girl, who had always been forward in claiming
his attention.
“Engaged, also.” -
“The next, then?” he asked laughingly, but.
looking keenly at bers’v’perceiving something
was wrong. ‘ .
“I am very sorry ; but I am engaged all the
evening. when I am not too tired to dance 3” she
replied blushing. ' '
“Yeti are fortunate, madame;" and, bowing
coldly, he left her. .
The next lady it was the same, and the next
one. also. He began to be greatly amused.
“Which of my evil deeds hxs now come to
light. ‘2” .
ll_Just then Caroline whispered, as she passed
1m :
“Better ask Lu. Emmons, Mr. Smith, for this
dance. ‘ Consider me your partner for the next,
if you phase." ' .
She spoke rapidly, and somewhat excitedly.
He looked at her in surpriee. This proud, ex.
acting girl, who expected her acceptance of an
invitation to be regarded as an honor, actually
inviting herself to dance with him ! She looked
pale, with a bright, red spot on either oheek,
while her eyes flashed like diamonds. He
thanked her, and proceeded in seareh'of Miss
Emmons—n. modest, gentle girl, who was dis
engaged, as her friend had‘stated.
In his delay in finding a. partner, they were
among the last to take their places. There
was only one couple needed (opposite the squire
and his partner) to make the sets complete.
No sooner did the'squire observe them, than
he Whispered to his partner, and they moved
away to a. seat. The couples at _the side fol
lowed them, and Mr. Smith and his partner
were left alone. The sweet girl beside him
looked ready to faint. .
“What does this mean?” said Mr. Smith,
his eyes flashing. lightning, and his tones full
9f ire.
Excusing himself to Miss Emmons, he strode
with hasty step towards the place where Ml 2
Clayton was toying with his partner’s fan.—
Before he could reach him, a small hand was
laid gently on his arm. Hepuused. It was
Caroline. She looked up beseechingly into his
face, her lips quivering: _
"Oh, Mr. Smith! don’t have any scenes
here, pray don’t. Let. it pass for to-night.

Again Mr. Smithlooked at her with SUTPI‘ISG-
What. mystery was here? Whateyerlt was, he
thanked fortune for it, since by I": he learned
thet‘ this young girl’s nature, ffNOIOUS and

Mr. Smith danced nearly all the evening,

‘1 We suppose you know, through your
daughter, that John Smith is a_suspected man,
suspected of being an escaped convict from the
State prison; and also, of setting fire to the
house that was burned down a week ago.”
“ Caroline is too, ‘sensible to tell me any
such ynonsqnae." said the farmer bluntly. .
‘4 ¥ cry smgular; for my son informed her of

mer, his pent up wrath exploding.
He was an obstinate and irascible man when
excited, which fact was not suspected from his
usual good nature. In vain they talked, one
after the other, and then altogether, to make
him listen to reason; for Mr. Faulkner was a
popular and somewhat prominent man in the
town, and his opinion had weight.
It was of no use. They were all a. pack of

fellow as ever breathed.” >
Mr. Faulkner conferred with his wife and
daughter after they had gone. He was firm in
his belief of the young man’s innocence. So
was his wife. So was Caroline. The little
bible on his table presented to J ohn, by his
afieclionate mother, and the delicate book-mark
whose daily progress over the holy leaves the
young girl noted, would alone have been suffi
cient. to prove his innocence to her, had she
been disposed to doubt it. Credulous Carry!
All three agreed it was unnecessary at pre
sent to inform him of the rumors rife.
Mr. Smith might have noticed the red eyes
of Caroline and her mother, the nervous Ind.
abrupt. manner of Mr. Faulkner at tea-time;
but if he did, he made no remark.
It. was a rainy. pitch~dark night. He retired
to rest early. V
It was between eleven and twelve o'clock,
when he was awakened by a. light tap it his
door. He did not answer. Another top.
“Who is it?”
“I, Caroline,” answered an agitated voice.
“Rise and dress quickly. Don’t. light the lamp!
don’t—pray, don’t make the least noise, and
come out here to me. I have something to tell
you."
Wondering, he did as required ; and on open
ing the door, found Caroline, who motioned.
him to the little sitting room opposite his room.
She shut the door softly and put down the
shaded lamp from her trembling hand. A 8 she
turned toward him, he saw that. the bewildering
eyes, usually so full of light and mischief, were
heavy and red with weeping. her face fearfully
pale, while she trembled violently. '
“0, Mr. Smith!” she whispered. in a voice
choked with sobs. ‘fThere are men all around
the house to prevent your escape, and to-mor
row' morning some officers from the prison are
coming- to take you. I. heard it all from my
window 0, Mr. Smith! do you know what
dreadful things they suspect you of '7.’ They say
that you are an escaped convict from the State
prison, and on incendiary besides!" and she
cried bitterly. ‘
He did not look like a Very hardened crimi—
nal, as he stood before her with moved face.
“Does Caroline believe these dreadful
things ‘3” he asked in a low voice. .
“Oh no, no! I know it cannot be so." she
answered, fervently and quickly. “I have
awoke you so that you can escape to-night.—
Sec 2 here is a suit. of father’s—it will serve for
a disguise. 0, Mr. Smith I‘ hurry quick—dc,
it may be too late. While you are gone I. will.
keep watch. The north side of the house is
the least guarded. Here is a pistol—you may
need it to defend yourself, and—and——” she
hesitated, and paused a moment. “Forgive
me, but one does not always chance to be pro
vided for a long journey, and I thought perhaps
it might. be useful.” And she timidly placed
a well filled purse in his hand.
She had sfioken rapidly and impetuously.
“You are a brave, thoughtful girl! And you
feel all this anxiety for unworthy me, Ceru
line 2” And he took the two little trembling
bands within his own, and drew her to the sofa",
You are pale, you tremble, and on my account“

believe the charges against me ‘3"
“Oh, no! nor fat-her nor mother. , But oh!
hu‘rry, Mr. Smith! If it should be too late L
012, it would kill me I”
There was g tender tremulous motion round
the young man’s lips.
“Why should you care, Caroline? Hubert.
Clayton instigated it; he is a, dear friend of
yours." '
“Oh, I hate him!” she cried passionately. .
“I thought you liked him, Caroline. Is there
any one dearer to you?” A
She hid her face in her hand, when the clat
ter of a horse’s hoofs was- heard under the
window, and she started up in the wildest
alarm.
“oh, go 1 119! if you can 5 But. it is too late!
Oh, what, what shall I do 1'!
‘ “ One moment, Caroline. If Igo away now,
when my innocence is proved, as it soon will
be, may I come again and claim this dent hand

loved, give herself to me? For, that she would.

events of this night have proved. Consider
well, my'darling. Hubert Clayton is rich.—
You must have 'already suspected my poverty."
“1 love only you. I will be your's when
you come. Only go.” .
“ Not till I have first soothed my frightened
dove. Be calm, darling; I shall not leave you.
Do you not see itwould be imposeible to escape
now, unseen; while the very fact. of attempt—
ing it would imply guilt. Besides I have doc
uments with me which will easily prove my
innocence. What—trembling yet? Why, you,
forgot. the pistol, love. What a. brave little
heroine this is. Little temptress, too, to place
such a. wicked little article as this in my hand,
which if its contents had happened to lodge
in some poor unfortunate’s brains, would have

than this. Caroline, dearest, sweetest, wisest,

The next morning, Farmer Faulkner rubbed
his eyes as if doubting his vision, when about
