THE TIMES NEW BL00MFIEL1), PA., DECEMltEIl 0, 1881.
however, ho received a note, by band,
from Mrs, Hamilton, asking him to call
aud see lier at the Black Swan hotel.
He happened to he Juut going out
when the note readied lilin, and bo he
thrust It into his pocket not without a
certain feeling of tenderness at the eight
of the dainty, delicate characters and
took his way into the town. He did
not go very quickly, though , he called
at the florist's half-way, aud bought a
flower for his button-hole a white rose
bud It was. He met some people that he
knew and staid to chat with them.
But dawdle as he would, he came to
the hotel at last. Every one who has
heeu lu York knows that It Is not very
far from the cavalry barracks to the
Black Swan. Colonel Cotherstone went
into the hall and asked for Mrs. Hamil
ton. "Was Mrs. Hamilton at home."
."Certainly. Would the gentleman step
this way V"
And so they led Mm up stairs aud
ushered him Into a room where, seated
by the fire, was a lady a lady with wavy
golden hair, with soft blue eyes, and two
little white hands outstretched to greet
lilni his old love Mary Stuart.
"How am I to thank you V" shecrled.
"I have tried for all these five months
to And out what my boy was doing. I
couldn't persuade him to come home,
and I have been so unhappy about him."
"Has he never written to you V"
"O, yes ; every week regularly. But
I did not know that he was In York.
His letters came from London ; aud the
only address was a London postofllce.
He Bald he was not in prison, hut he
couldn't tell me any more."
"No, he has not been in prison," Col
onel Cotherstone answered, smiling, as
he thought of the near shaves he had
had in that respect.
"I didn't quite understand your let
ter," said Mrs. Hamilton presently.
"Why should he be ashamed of the pro
fession he has taken up too much
ashamed even to tell me what It was 'i
Why should behave any restraint placed
upon him ' Have the other olllcers so
much restraint V
"My dear Mrs. Hamilton, your son
has enlisted,'" said the Colonel kindly,
wondering at her ignorance.
'IHow enlisted 1"'
"He is not in my regiment as an offi
cer," he said.
"What! My boy a common soldier?"
"A private," corrected Colonel Coth
erstone gently. "Yes, that is what he
is."
"My boy," cried the little woman
brokenly, "my boy, Hamilton of Gleu
barry, a Boldierl Does he have to groom
a horse, pray ?"
"Certainly."
"And to do stable work V"
"Yes."
"Does he have to salute you ?"
"Of course." In spite of himself a
smile broke over his face. "I hope that
is not very hard for him."
"Not to you," she said impatiently.
"No one would mind saluting you, of
course; but the others! You don't mean
to say he is obliged to put his hand up
so" with a ludicrous imitation of a
salute "to all the young subs, to the
riding-master even."
"He certainly has to do so," answered
the Colonel.
"Hamilton of Glenbarry salute, touch
his hat to a riding-master !" ejaculated
Mrs. Hamilton. "I tell you it is ab
surd, utterly absurd !"
"Whilst he remains in the ranks It
must be done," said the Colonel, smiling
still at her vehemence.
"Then he shall not remain in the
ranks !" she cried. "How soon can I
have him released V"
"Will you take my advice," he asked,
"and leave him for a few months, or un
til I advise you to buy him offr1"
"You would do what is best for mei"'
the widow faltered.
"You know I would," touching her
hand for a moment. That was a great ad
vance for Colonel Cotherstone ; but the
old influence was strong at work in him.
"I don't know why you should be so
good to me," she said rather forlornly.
"I behaved very badly to you, and
yet"
"Yet what V" drawing neaierand tak
ing her hand.
"I was so unhappy," she said simply.
They were both standing on the rug ;
he, a large, fine, upright figure iu gray
tweed ; she, a dainty thing In purple
velvet, looking absurdly young to be the
mother of Private Jones.
"Why were you unhappy ,and when?"
' he asked, possessing himself of the other
hand.
"When you went away; and and
because I"
"Welly" he said eagerly. "Because
you"
"Because I loved you so," she said,
- hiding her faoe upon his breast.
If Colonel Cotherstone'e dream of love
was rudely interrupted one-and-twenty
years before, when, on that June rnqrn
ing, Hamilton of Glenbarry turned up
so inopportunely, he made up for it
when he found his little love at the hotel
with the slgu of the Black Swan at
York. It would be hard to say who was
the most surprised at the event which
followed, or rather at the announce
ment of It. I doubt whether the officers,
wheu, the next evening after dinner,
their chief announced that he was going
to be married, were as thoroughly sur
prised as was Ned Hamilton, when, a
free man again, he entered his mother's
room at the Black Swan ; and I am per
fectly certain that his astonishment did
not equal his mother's, when she found
how faithfully Edward Cotheantone had
loved her all those years. Perhaps the
most thoroughly amazed of them all was
Colonel Cotherstone himself.
To the intense amusement of the whole
regiment his wife calls him "Eddie."'
The young ones say that he grew tired
of having no heart, so managed to get
his brains exchanged for one ; but if one
of them goes a little wrong In duty or
any other respect, he very quickly finds
out that the chief's brain is as keen as
ever it was in the days when he was pop.
ularly believed to be altogether deficient
in certain internal arrangements, of
which a heart was one.

A Surprised Minstrel.
EMEItSON Is a money-making min
Btrel. When he was here, Borne
years ago, with Maguire, he made
"slathers" of coin, and in his lucid mo
ments thought he would take care of
some of it. He deposited the surplus in
two or three banks, but to the best of
his recollection dre it all out before he
left the city. He was, therefore, some
what surprised last week to receive,
through Seymour Locke, the following
notice :
HniEnuiA Bank, July 10, 1881.
Mr. William Emerson : We wish to
direct attention to an account at this
bank, standing in your name, and re
quest you to call at your earliest con
venience. (Signed,) .
"I knew it," exclaimed Emerson,
when he had examined the notice care
fully; "just like my carelessness. I
knew I had money on deposit some
where iu this city, and now it has turn
ed up."
He was jubilant, almost as much so as
Billy Bice was when he got the bogus
telegram that he had drawn the first
prize in the Kentucky lottery, and
scorned his salary for the week, while
he invited everybody to drink.
He was In no mood for rehearsals, was
Emerson, with the bank notification in
his pocket; it might mean thousands;
and he strolled out on the street, look
ing financially strong. Meeting an ac
quaintance, and a "solid Muldoou," he
said to him, in a nonchalant way :
"Will you take a stroll with me ?"
" Where are you going t "
"Oh, only as far as the bank the Hi
hernia Bank, I believe they call it. I'm
going to see about my account there;"
and he straightened himself up, and
moved his hat to a more rakish set on
his head.
"Yes, I'll walk with you. Come
along."
Emerson and his friend accordingly
dropped In at the monetary institution
on Montgomery street, both feeling like
bl-metallio twins.
"I have called," said the sllver-volced
William to the teller, "in answer to this
notification. My name is Emerson. "
"Ah, yes," said the man of money.
"Your account ; it has now been stand
ing for gome nine years. Of course, you
wIhIi to close It."
"Certainly, I wleh to close it. What
Is the balance to my credit V"
A leisurely turning over of gome ledg
ers, a quiet talk iu an undertone with
Borne of the other bank officials, aud
then the answer came :
"Twenty cents."
"WHAT I" almost shouted the as
tonished and dismayed Emerson.
"Twenty cents," repeated the quiet
and gentlemanly teller. "Will you re
celve It and close the account V"
"Yes." And then he murmured,
sotto voce, "Arejyou there,Mo-rl-ar-l-ty?"
while his friend turned to the window
to hide a smile.
"No holeB in 'em V" queried Billy, as
he received his two short bits; "no mu
tilated coin." .
"All right," said the teller, with a
laugh. "Sorry it is no more ; but so it
is."
Emerson looked at his two dimes, and
said to his friend'Let's divide for luck."
"Won't you take a drink on this occa
sion V" asked his friend.
"Thanks, no; I think I think I'll
go hack to work. They are waiting for
me at the theatre." San Francisco Call.
The Widow's Revenge.
A CERTAIN French marquis, prom
inent in affairs of State, had paid
his addresses to a blooming young widow
under promise of marriage; and the
day for the happy union had been set,
when from some cause whlchhe did not
care to explain, he declared the match
to be broken off. He would not be mar
ried. ' " Well, well let us part friends, at all
events," the fair one said. " Give me
one more happy evening and I will con
sole myself, as best I can."
To this the recreant lover assented,
and, in company with a few other
friends, he sat down to a sumptuous
feast in her salon, and wit and jollity
ruled the hour ; and more than once
during the progress of the feast the
marquis almost repented him of his
recantation.
"Here la happiness to us both, for
all the time to come!" the beautiful
hostess exclaimed, at the same time
lifting two brimming goblets, one of
which she gave to the marquis, keeping
the other, and raising it to her own lips.
He followed her lead without hesitation,
and the two goblets were drained.
Within half an hour from that time
the marquis felt a sensation of nausea,
und his lips grew pale.
Thereupon the widow sank back in
her chair with a groan, and clasped her
hands over her heart.
"Dear love!" she Baid to the marquis.
"We drank a pledge of happiness for all
the time to come ; but not for this life !
O, no ! False man I the story of your
life Is told! We will die together I You
pledged me In a cup of mortall pol O!
OI O!"
You may imagine the' consternation
The marquis was taken to one sofa, and
the frantlo hostess to another ; then two
celebrated physicians were sent for;
aud, as quickly as possible, the work of
saving was in operation, stomach-pumps,
and antidotes were resorted to; and, ere
long, the widow appeared to revive ; and
she put up her hand, and begged them
to desist, she thought she should do well
enough.
Meantime, the marquis was in agony,
willing to submit to anything that might
save his life. They pumped at his stom
fijh until they had almost pumped away
his life, and were debating what next to
do, when the widow burst into an up
roarious fit of laughter. She laughed
until the tears rolled down her pretty
cheeks; and finally, when the physi
cians were about to take her In hand as
a lunatio, she cried out :
"O ! it Is too good ! It is charming !
Did you think I would be such a fool as
to kill myself because he would not
marry me? O, no! But I owed him just
a little a very little, revenge for bis in
constancy; and thus I paid him. There
was no poison in our cups."
And so the marquis did not die ; but it
took him several days to reoover from
the e fleets of the stomach-pumps and
emetics ; and it is doubtful if he ever
quite recovered from the stigma of that
evening's entertainment.
(STThere is no denying the fact that
there is a great future for everybody
who can live long enough to see It.
American Ladies.
The first impression Sara Bernhardt
received of the Amerioan ladles mani
fested itself thusly: "Oh I ze ladies, za

the universal use of Hwayne'g Ointment

color. This recalls to mind the divine
precept "cleanliness is next to Godli
