CHAPTER VI. THE INTERVJEW BBTWEBN MR. ASHLEY AND THE TURNKEY.

This threat, which, happily for her little remaining peace, Katharine never heard, ter rified, but did not silence Mre, Grove. F'irst, because she flattered herself that, against h’s father’s will, Edward would not dare to carry it out; and secondly, because much as she had insulted and underrated Katharine, she was as certain agif ber words of rejecs tion were already spoken, that she would never accept hercousin. As I have said, Kate kaew uothing of Eljward’s champion- ship, nor of the continual altercations be- tween him and his mother, of which she was the cause. ‘To her, during the few days she was in London, he had been more than usu- ally silent and awkward, and without hoping or suppos ng it possible that any one of the family felt sympathy or friendship for her, she gladly acceded to ber aunt’s desire, that except at meals, she would occupy heree!f in the little dirk back parlor.

There, then, her time was chiefly and soli, tarily spent; for, the usual afternoen skir- mishes cver, Jane and Mre. Greve generally pres d the evening at the house of one of the people with whom they had made acquaint» ance during their last visit to London, and Mr. Grove retired to a smoking room.

Thus deserted, Katharine eat alone one evening in the twilight. Her thoughts were far away in her happy Indian home, and she started almest with terror, when the servant noiselessly entered the room, bearing a candle and announcing *‘ A gentleman.”

The stranger, who followed bis conductor immediately, bowed, and waiting to speak until the girl, having drawn the blind, snuff- ed the candle, and fidgeted about as long es she poasibly could, left the room, then said, quietly;

ed forth from her tycs—‘ as innocent of the bare things my aunt bas spoken as Mary ia |

|

her grave. You know it, and is it manly, or | right, or honest, then, to suffer my good |

name to be thus vilely trodden out? You}

\ | know Iam help'ess and poor, ard at your} mercy, aud you think that you can make

me de your will—that you can taunt or

word, «8 you bave broken yours, pledged to | Mary on her death-bel, but you cannot, and | you shall not.’

Ani panting, breathless with her impetus | osity, Katharine ceased; while her aunt, | nodding triumphantly to her husband, said,

‘Dida tI say so? Th’s comes of taking | ia folks as is n> blood kin to one, Mr. Jacks | son. To think what we've done for that |

girl! bat nurae a vipe

‘ Hush wife, hush,’ interrupted Mr. Grove, | upon whom his niece’s last words bad pros duced a strong effect. * We've all been! wrorg; Katharine is no viper; what she’s had bere she’s paid for; and though I can't but say that I think she ought to obey our wishes, sceing we've been as father and | mother to her, still we can’t make her speak arainust her mind, and if she sets s9 little | store by us as to leave her home sooner than do as she’s bid, why she’s bad a good educa. | tion enough to get her own biead now, and | after the trial, as [ suid before, she muat go She's fairly warned, end can take her!

choice.’ /

Threa days after this, a subjceia to apy | pear and give evidence upon the trial of James M’Evoy was sorved upon Katharine. Che trial was to take place in London, at |

*The Court of the Sassions House in the Od Bailes,’ and the date was ssarcsly a month distant

A gloomy and doubtful future now opered before Katharine. With study and treading | had come expanded tastes and wider amb‘s | tion; sbe could nolonzer be satisfied with | the life »he would once have glad!y embraced. | An instinctive respect for caste and all the! proprieties of life had sprung up in her heart, vayue and exoggerated perhaps, because

untested by experience, but true and real}

}

’ nevertheless, and sie shrunk fe trfully from the dark a d menacing prospect before her. | Wretched as was her home now, it was a. home and shelter from the strang: impras | bable horrors she began to fear, and eke | clang to its protection, not from love, but terror, She had no money, nothing save the few costly Indian dresses which had

escaped her aunt's rapacity, the empty, but |

| beavtiful'y inlaid jowel-cases, a dressings

case with silver fittings, and a work~box. | Upon the ssle of these most precious things | Katharine felt that sha had now to exist, | when, as would goon happen, she was cast | upon her own resources; and how to do| whes the litle money they brought was ex: | hausted, she dared not speculate. At last | the time for going to London to attend the | trial came, and Katharine, packing up all | ber treasures, preparad to accompany Mr. | and Mrs. Grove and Jane. Edward waa io | town, where h: had been a year, learving | some extra branch of his busive:s in anotber |

| house, and was consequintiy ignorant of |

nearly a'l thas bad occarred at home during | his absence. He was therefore as mueh | surprised as incredulous, when his mother |

lating the extraordinary history she had

50 we'l her talent fur exaggeration and in- vention, he listened with most contemptuous ind fference to her version of the story, until

herself, and then his indignation was unhounded. To him, even when she was a child, Katharine had been the a}ject of his purest ard best feeling ; her

senso of reverence and admiration for better thngs than money, and her delicacy and refinement, and truthfulness, so different from those among whom she dwelt, bad con« firmed it. When he left home, Kate, though growing ‘n beauty, had been yet a child to his fancy, who bad known ber from child- hood; but the year’s absence which had now elapsed had accomplished more than its usual work, and ehe appeared before him as) a bright and gilted woman,—one whom he | could worship, and to win whore love be could die. To hear her, then, accused of crimes and int macies such as could only be committed or endarcd by the most worthless and depraved, was more than he could eu» dure; and, ina storm of bitter passion and invective, he warned hia mother that if she | drove Katharine from home, he would rever, | while he lived, set foot in it again.

‘And you know how that will end,” were | bis parting words; “ there’s more money of

| mine in the business thin you will like to)

see taken out, and as fare e8 1 live and speak, if Kate is turned out, I'll draw every peony, and marry her if she will bave me. I'm of age now, and no man’s BY master!

‘My name is Ashley, madam!’

Kate bent her head; the announcement conveyed no information to her. It was a name she bad never heard before, and its owner, who had watched her iatently ever

| since his entrance, never once removing his

eyes from her countenance, eaw it and went on—

‘The object of my visit is professional. I am solicitor to Mr MeEroy!'

Katharine moved uneasily in her chair, and cast a zlance, half slarm, half disyust, at the speaker. He understood it, and ansen- timental as he was, the evident contempt of oue so beautifuland high mannered as Kathy arivearnoyed bim. He saw, but he did not like that she cou'd see, and make him feel, the difference between them, Is stung bim into an impetuosity ve y foreign to h's usual coolness, and he spoke ae if it had; seeming to take a pride in setting her opinion at dss fiance, and retaliating her contempt by clas- sing her with his client.

‘ McEvoy is, as you know, tiken at last. He wrote to you, though, as soon us he could afterwards; and I took care that his billet- doux reached you safely. It was not discoy- ered. I hope?’

‘Thave already refuted to arswer any questsons relative, even inthe most remote degrea, to the person you speak of, sir, and musi, therefore, decline to reply to yours: If you bave no other business than to make enquiries, I warn you that they will be fruit- less, and may as well bs ended at once. Good evening.’ And with a haughty bow,

}and still more haughty and contemptuous

voice, Kutharine ross and turied to the door. :

‘Stay, madam !° cried-the lawyer. sublued inte respect by Kate’s manner. ‘‘ Suffer me to explaia. You mistake g:eatly if you ims agine tiat 1 have come here with any motive inimical to my client’s interest. My obiect

| is to defend him; yoars, [I presume, is the

* Then tell him, sir, simply this, that I never wilfully broke a promise, however rashly given: and thathis life, so far as it depends upon me is ssfe.’

* But persuasion—’

‘Sir,’ replied Katharine, impasiently, ‘1 hold a liar like athief. Iam 1ot the one, and with God’s help, I will never be the other! Youur friend iesafe!’ And with a curling lip she again turned to the door. |

‘I thank you, madam, for your assurance ; and, although I am not apt to believe strong words or bold resolutions, I do believe you— at least to a certain point. I believe that you mean, with all your heart, to keep the promise you made ; but, knowing the threats that will be used, [ do not believe that you wi'l be able tu do eo.’

‘Threats! Notable!’ repeated the girl diedainfully.

‘Yes,’

‘Who will dare use them”

‘ The law.’

* No law can make me speak,’

‘No; bat it can and will punish you until yoa do.’

‘It will be uselees.’

* When you are asked—as you will be—to identify the man who stands close bride you & prisoner, what wil] you say ”

‘ Nothing.’

‘Butyou must. You muet speak, or you will be committed. You will not tell a lie.’

‘Is not my reverence for my word your client’s only hope for safety?’ asked Kathas rine contemptuously,

‘No. Henry Jollis’s life is a far eurer band. Pardon me, Miss Nugent. I do not doubt your word, asycu seem to despise mine; but I am here on business—on a mat- ter of life and death—and it is no time for civilities. I must make you eee exactly how we stand respectively, and what you, as well as my client. will forfeit by your troken word.’

‘Go on,’ said Kate, seeing that he paused.

‘Twill; and you must forgive me if in doy ing so I use plainer language than you have been accustcmed to hear. If, then, I under stand the matter rightly, you keep faith witb M’Evoy from no regard for him, or abstract love of truth, but simp'y because upon your fidelity hangs the life of cne you are sworn to save. Is thiseo »

aba THE BROWN FULTON SCULL RACE.

The single scull match between George Brown of Halifax, and Evan Morris, of Pitts- burg, on Kennabeccasis River, St. John, N. B., tive miles with one turn in bestand best boats, stakes $2.000 a side, was won by Brown in 37 minutes ; Morris’ time 37 min~ utes and 3 seconds. The St. John Tele- graph has the following account of the race :

The two shell were now placed in position, their sterns being held by the proper offi- cers, and just as the two men, hearing and responding to the “‘ Are you ready?” of the referee, and reaching far aft, rested the blades of their oars in the water, the word

Go! was given. Both swayed forward and the beautiful shells glided swiftly up the river, each man seeming to have caught the word as by electricity, and the two rowing a sweeping, clean and wonderfully powerful stroke, that at once assured experienced boating men, that George Brown was mea- suring Oars with no inferior opponent, and that the championship of America would this time be won by a man worthy of the title. For two hundred yards Brown shows ed the greater speed, and at that distance from the start hfd succeeded in placing his boat about half a length in advance. Morris then held his own, rowing 33 strokes & minute, and in a few minutes commenced to gain on his opponent, who was doing 36 to the minute, both boats going through the water at magnificent speed, and steering a course as straight as everwas rowed. Mor. ris continued to gain inch by inch, and when half ways between the start and Appleby’s, his boat siowed ahead of that of Brown. Excitement now ran high amongst those on shore. as the word passed from mouth to mouth, and though many expressed belief that the American would win, the attempts of Browns friends to effect bets on their champion met with little success, though two to one was generally offered. The boats went on, and with his sweeping and power- ful stroke Morris still continued to gain. Brown, meantime rowing steadly, and, as those who knew him best said, well within himself. It was evident, however, that both men were doing splendid work, and the steady, though slow gain that Morris was making, together with his coraparatively slow stroke, justified the hopes of those who now began to anticipate a victory for him. At Appleby’s wharf he led by nearly a length, but got no advantage for a time at least. Those who were stationed on shore at Mr. Troop’s residence, which is about a mile and a half up the course, think that Morris led about two lengths at that time, but those who are well acquainted with the course know that the formation of the shore in that vicinity has the peculiar effect of giving an apparent lead to an inside boat, which may even be behind on a line at right angle with the course. It is probable however, that Morris had a slight advans tage at the end ofa mile and a half. THE TURN.

As they approached the stakesboats they were so well together that they made the turn simultaneously in 18 minutes 10 sec.; Morris missing a stroke and turning a little wider than brown. The spectators who were nearly all between Appleby’s wharf and the starting pointa, when they saw or learned that the men had turned together, became more excited than before, but while expressions of confidence were very frequent betting was slow ; although a good many Halifax and St. John men made great efforts to get takers for their money at odds.

As the boats came down the course they were still well together, Brown having a slight advantage which developed into nearly a length at Appleby’s wharf, when Morris was observed to be again going to the front. Now the excitement was higher than before. Men shouted until they were nearly exhausted, and Morris’ friends took some small bets even, and were giving odds in a few cases, the Brown men being not so confident as before. Morris lapped his boat on the after part of Brown and held her there for half a mile, when he bettered his position and came up even by a fine spurt, those who watched the contest now | almost believing that he would win. Both men were working in splendid style, Brown’s stroke being 35 and that of Morris’s a shade

less than 3] to the minute. The friends of the men now yelled each at his favourite, | urging him to greater exertion if possible. | THE FINISH. When within a little over a hundred yards of the winning line Brown’s beat was obs served to move as if new motive power had | suddenly been brought to bear on her. | At every stroke she seemed to gain about | a foot on that of Morris, and so clamorous were the people Loth on shore and in the judges’ boat that it seemed almost imposs sible for one personally interested to any | considerable extent to keep from catching the intense excitement of the occasion. Dr. Walker shouted loudly to the judges, boat~ holders and the few representatives of the press in his boat to cease their yelling but to little effect, and amid wild cheering and urgent appeals to ‘go in” the finish was made in exactly thirty-seven minutes from start, Brown winning by about threesquart- ers ofa length, according to the official authority, but with clear water between the stern of his boat and the bow of Morris’, ac cording to the observation of very good judges on shore opposite the line. At such atime and with such exciting sur- roundings, it is difficult for almost any per~ son to observe a finish with absolute ac- curacy. Morris, however, was beaten and he knew it. While the crowd were still cheering—cheering as much, apparently, for the man who had came near being the victor as for the champion himself— the victor and vanquished rowed alongside of | each other and shook hands, Then Brown rowed to the referee's boat, and being ask- ed if the race was a fair one said he thought itwas. Then the referee’s boat was sowed in the direction of that of Morris, who in reply toa similar queston said the race was a fair one and that he was beaten this time on his merits. Morris, after rubbing himself down, rowed away towards his | quaters, Brown going to his usual landing | piace in Torryburn Cove, where he resums | ed his ordinary c othing, and after receiv- ing the warm and, in some cases, demon-~ strative congratulations of all who could

| feree (now less an object of interest than | before the race) and Messrs. Vose, Muir and others and was driven to the Torryburn House, where the congratulations were con. | tinued and he was obliged to appear on the balcony when three cheers were given for him. He then proposed three cheers for | Morris and théy were given witha will. Morris, meantime landed at Appleby’s wharf he too was cheered. Heat once pro- ceeded to his room and changed his cloth~ ing. He said to the writer that the race was an entirely fair one, that he had pushed Brown well and hardly. The water, he said, was a little rougher than he was accustomed to. He, however, shipped none. There being a crowd outside it was | suggested to him that he should show him. | self to satisfy their desire to see him. This, | however, he declined to do, saying he came to row a race and not to place himself for exhibition. Ue had rowed the race and was now going home as soon as he could get there. EXCHANGE OF COURTESIES. As soon as Brown had rested he and a | number of his friends went down to call on | Morris. Short speeches were made by tke | two men and also by several other gentle- | men. Brown said he Lad never rowed | against a better man, and that his victory | was no easy one, as Morris was indeed | ‘worthy of his oar.’ Morris said that he was fairly beaten. He also said that he had | been well and fairly treated by those with | whom he had come in contact, and hoped | to retrieve his position at some future time. | A small purse was made up for Morris dure | ing the afternoon, but the matter was not | thought of soon enough or a greater amount | might have been placed in his hands. Both | Brown and Morris visited the city in the) evening ina quiet way. Bonfires, got up | by the boys, blazed in different streets dur« ing the evening in honor of Brown’s victory, and some of his other friends celebrated the event less publicly but quite as effects
