B Y “ W A B A S H . " ICOFYMGirr, 1800.] CHAPTER XV.—CONTINUED. Mr. Emeriok’s annoyance was undis­ guised. The news he had read in the foreign paper had only given him a momentary pleasure, and when he no­ ticed that he was being Intruded upon he was very angry, Mr. Blodgor, how­ ever, was in blissful ignorance of the faot, and said in his bland manner: “Mr, Ernorlck, I believe?” “ Yes, tbat is my name. Wbafcdo you want?” replied Mr. Emerick, curtly, if “ My call will only bo of brief dura­ tion, and I will tell the object of it in “ WNAT DO YOU WANT?” WAS THE CURT REPLY. e few words,” was the answer which Mr. Blodger gave, as be banded over bis cord. “ You can not be too brief to suit me,” was the almost rude response. Mr. Blodger seated himself opposite to Mr, Emerick and commenced at once. “ Some few months ago a woman who was selling newspapers over in Brook­ lyn thought she recognized you as her long-losthusband.” Mr. Emerick was startled, but ho readily answered! “ Yes, but what has that to do with your visit?” “ Every thing,” was the reply. “ This woman has recently fallen heir to a large amount of. valuable property in Amiens, Franoe, and it has become nec­ essary that she should go to that place a t once In order to prevent her raven- •us relations from robbingher o f it,” Mr. Emerick was very much interest­ ed,now, hut be had been in peculiar po­ sitions too often to betray bis Interest to b it listener, so be asked with apparent unconcern: “ Why does she not go to France at enoe, then?” “ There is only one reason, and that is that she Swears She will see you first,” answered Mr. Blodger. “ And you, 1 presume, wish me „to grant the crash an interview,” asked Mr. Emerick. “ Precisely,” was the answer. “ Very well, then,” replied Mr. Emer* iok, whose manner Was now tery much •hanged, ‘ Tell her to come to my raoms to-night, and I will see her— •lone, yon understand,” he answered. “ It shall be S3 y .u say. Seeohd floor, OtMlthatn Flats,” said Mr. Blodger as ba n M the address which Mr. Emerick had written on his Card. “ She w ill not bate far to go, b u t - ” bar* h* hesitated ftUMttumt, and than 6<mtinned: “ Would it net •* better for her eon to no* rhto?” * . ‘ will m k e f Alone or not a* *11»* wa* the reply. ? Ad lift BledgW tede beete up town he eentj^Myb •amid not help thinking that there waa something very unlike a merchant and a gentleman in Mr. Emeriok’s manner. Upon, reaching his home, however, he •entn note'to Harlem at onqo inform­ ing Mrs. Bregy of the result o f his call, Then he went over to Mrs. Delaro’s and told her all about it. That night was the dirtiest and most disagreeable night which Now York had seen for some time. It had rained Incessantly for nearly twelve hours and the streets were running with water; When Mrs, Bregy alighted from the street-ear she had several'blocks to'walk before she reaohed the Grantham Flats, and her mud-bedraggled.skirts gave her such a forlorn appearanoo that the porter thought Bhe must have made a mistake until she mentioned Mr. Emericjk’s name, when he at once led her to. the. elevator and took her up, to that, gen­ tleman’s rooms.' . •■ ~ As she entered Mr. Emerick rose from bis easy ohalr and approached her. Ho had had ample time to make his mind up how to act and was fully prepared. “ Be seated, madam,” he .said, in an ordinary polite manner. She did not seat herself, but stood and looked at him with pleading eyes, as she said: “ Alphonse, do you not know me? Emille—your wife?” He returned tho gaze; then putting his hand to his forehead in a dramatic manner, he said:. "“ If so, how changed!” Ho spoke the words in an undertone, as if to make the woman believe.ho did not. intend her to hear them. Bo his intention ' what it may, she heard the words, and. as she took a stop towards him she sald.\ “ Then you are Alphonse Bregy?” “ Yes, I am,” ho replied. "Why then arc you known as Mr. Emerick? You arc not ashamed of your own name, are you?” asked the woman. “ That is a.question which I can not answer now,” he replied. “ But you are my husband, aren’ t you?” still questioned the woman in a tone of piteous appeal, ad if? his accept­ ance of her husband's name was not suf­ ficient “ In the eyes of the law li boliove I am still,” was the reply. “ Then won’t you take me hook to your arms and be again to mo what you were once? My love for you has never wavered in tho least.” • “ I am afraid that can nevor bo,” said Mr. Emerick. “ I should have to re­ nounce one name or the other, and tho world would open its eyes in wonder and astonishment” He knew that the woman was. as deep­ ly in love with him as ever, and that he could control her at bis pleasure. So he did not hesitate to make admissions. “ 1 will take your name if need be and ask no' questions regarding your lifo since you loft me. Only fold mo to your heart and bring back tho memories of our early married life and 1 will do any thing you ask.” There was still a coldness about Mr. Emerick, hut he threw it off an host ho- could, andtuking tho woman In his arms ho pressed her to him and fondly kissed her, saying: “ You shall again ho all that you over were to me. But'it must bo ori conditions that I will name.” She was in his power and ho knew it. This flint-hearted man could afford to ho sentimental and knew how to ho when it suited his purpose. *T wilt accept any conditions as long as you will call mo wife again,” she said, “ Then sit down boro beside mo and I will name thorn.” As Mr. Emerick spoke these words ho drew two chairs together and motioned Mrs. Bregy to take one of them. Seating himself be­ side her he said: “ You must first prom­ ise me that you, will nover ask mo any questions regarding tho past twenty years of my life.’ ’ “ That I will readily promise,” an­ swered the now hjippy woman, “ Next you must not tell anyone that lam Alphonse Bregy, your husband. You must not evon toll Eugene.” “ But that can not he, How can I keep the knowledge from tliO world?” asked Mrs. Bregy. “ That is easy enough to manage,” was the reply, “ if you will only follow “ WHEN YOUT.EAVEHERE TO-NIGHT YOU MOST MAINTAIN YOUBCOMPOSURE.” my instructions' and act precisely as I suggest When you leave-here to-night you must maintain your composure. I)o not tell any one you have found your husband, Tell them all that you made ft hideous mistake and thftt I am not Alphonse Bregy at all, but merely Mr. Emerick,” “ Then how ban we be united?” asked the woman impetuously. "Readily enough. This ae^mintanoe o f to-night shall Mpen Into intimacy. In ftfturohing tot your ro il hnsbftnd the world shna be tftujrhi to boltove tkftt you have found a new one, I wlU ycove that Alphonso Bregy, your husband ec years ago, was killed in ft fracas * t Leadvilio or some other place And yon shall bo married to your new husband as soon as a sufficient length o f time has elapsed to make it appear decorous,” said Mr. Emerick as he threw himself eagerly into the discussion. . “ I will consent to any, thing so long ss I get you back to my side,” answered tho woman. “ But how about Eugene?” “ He shall know of the facts in due time,” said Mr. Emerick, “ But”—here Mrs. Bregy hesitated ere she spoke, “ I have to go to France to see about my property.” “ Property-7—what property?” •asked Mr. Emeriok. . “ Don’ t you know that t am heiress to Uno}o Du Bois’ property at Amiens, worth nearly five hundred thousand francs?” asked Mrs. Bregy. “No, how should I know that? In the faco of this good fortune do you still come to me and consent to eall me hus­ band again?” asked Mr. Emeriok (or as such we still mustjenow. him) in an as­ tonished tone which to the woman had the ring of genuineness about i t “ If I owned half Now York you would be as welcome to it as you would be to a sharo of my last crust,” answered the faithful woman. “ Then you do love mo truly,” said the merchant, as ho kissed her fondly, “ and since-you aro going to Franco I will accompany you and marry you again abroad.” “ That will indeed bo a pleasure.” said the'woman, with groat feeling. “ VVhon do you sail?” asked Mr. Emer­ ick. '• “ Two weeks from to-day on the La Gascoigne. Can you ho ready?" “ Yes, le a n get my business-settled up by that time and can accompany you.” ............. ' . So they parted. Tho poor, deluded woman going to her home under the' false belief that she had regained her husband’s love, and the devil of a man to dream of the five hundred thousand francs which be now coveted with all the greed of his hardoned nature. CHAPTER XVX Thus it. happened,- that although Mrs. Bregy and her husband had been parted for upwards of twmty years, he still held tho same power over her which he possessed In the past and could control her as easily as be bad done when hfe first mado lore to her on tho honchos In Washington Park. With his wito Alphonso Brcgy’s- se­ cret was quite safe. Known as Mr, Emerick he was froo to go and come as ho pleasod without the world being any the wiser regarding his identity. Yet he was about to play a desperate gamo, and it would tax his dcceptlvo re­ sources and daring spirit to the utmost to carry it through to a successful issue. Tho world must learn atonco that Mrs. Bregy had made a mistake in his iden­ tity, but the •rest must transpire grad­ ually. No suspicions must be raised. One oJ tho first whom Mrs. Brogy spoke to after tolling, her son of her dis­ appointment was Mrs. Dolaro. That good lady was.very ready with her sym­ pathy, yet she was really glftd that the poor woman's mind had at last been sot at rest. “ You will not of course delay your departure to Franco, now?*' she said to Mrs. Iftogy, “ No," replied that lady. “ It Is our in­ tention to leave as arranged, and there is one delightful circumstance connected with my visit to Mr, Emerick’s which I mustlnontion.” “ Indeed, what is it?” asked Mrs, Do* laro. “ It is this,” said Mrs. Bregy. "A l­ though I did not find a husband in Mr. Emorick I found a friend.” (How well the natural cunning of her race ijas serving her at this time.) “ That must ho very agreeable,” said Mrs, Del aro. “ It happened this way. I told Mr. Emerick I was going to France, atid as he also intends to go there this summer he has resolved-J.o atar£_nt once anilac- coropany U3. He also knows many peo­ ple at Amiens and can bo of great serv­ ice to us,” As Mrs, Bregy spoke these words tho stately Armida walked in, and after the congratulations of the day she asked Mrs. Bregy if they expected to spend the whole of tho summer in sunny France. “ 1 really can not tell," was tho an­ swer. “ Eugene is talking of going to Pari9 for a year’s Study whilo I am la­ boring with tho lawyers at Amiens,” “ Then ho is going to act on my ad­ vice,” said Armida, in a pleased tone of voice which her mother thought seemed almost absent-minded. “ I do not know whose advico it is, hut that is the determination which he has expressed,” answered Mrs, Bregy. “ And aro you not going to bo in Lon­ don at all during the year?” asked Ar­ mida. “ Wo may go thoro^ but i t is almost impossible to tell what wo shall do un­ til tho vexatious questions of law are settled,” responded Mrs. Bregy. “ If you should go there," said Ar­ mida, “ you will either find us or liearof us at tho Hotel Metropole, Northumber­ land avenue.” “ Then I will make a noto of it,” said Mrs. Bregy, as she drew a little'book from her pocket “ Now, 1 must go. for I hate to go down to the lawyer’s,” Bho had not been gone long when Mr. Blodger called, Binoe his old friend, Wilcox, died he had e***ed to carry his scrap-book Mound with him, a*d poetry seemed to hat* ewoMei hla soul for M m time tw» tog- *K*h*dgr«in» y»ry pros*!*, and. M he said to Mrs. Deism, he wasn’t feeling very well uad as traveling seemed to be the order of tho dey, thought he would take a trip to Europe right away.' “ I have sent a good deal of soap over there,” he said, “ but have never been myself, and I think I will go and see what the place looks like.*' “ We are anxious to make an early start,” said Mrs. Delaro, Ubut have been waiting to get some further news o f our friend, Mr, Lovel.” * “ Mr. Lovel?” queried Blodger. “ Seems to me I have heard that name.” “ Surely, do you not remember the handsome Englishman whom you took for my brother at Long Branch?” asked Armida. •'Certainly, I da What’ has become of him?” said. Mr. Blodger. “ He went down to South America'dur- ingthe early part of January, and has never been heard of since,” replied Armida. “ Did ho go on pleasure or business?” asked Mr. Blodger. “ He went on business. Mr. Lovel is the gentleman to whomflMr. Wilcox lo ft so much money.” o ' . ” “ Bless my life to think that 1 am ex ­ ecutor and don’ t know that,” said the bloated bondholder.- Adding by way of “ IF YOU LADIES WILL ACCEPT S1Y ES­ CORT—” excuse: "W ell, I left every thing to the lawyers to settle and I know they are men 1 can trust.” Here Mrs. Delaro ventured to remark that she did not think it would be any use to wait all summer expecting news of Percy. . “ Tho body which was found in the river must have been his and the poor fellow is undoubtedly dead.” - “ But what will become o f all that money, mamma?” asked Armida. “ Oh, let the monev rest, my child; some one .will claim usom e day,” vi s tho answer. “ Well, then. If you ladies will ac­ cept my escort, wo will arrange a date to start to Europe. I supposo you w.ill not object to my taking Stephen Blod­ gor, Jr., along?” said Mr. Blodger. “ Not if you take' the procaution to warn tho stoward of the ship to lay in an extra supply of provisions—that boy has such an immenso appetite. 1 Would he awful if tho provisions ran short In mid-ocean in consequence, of It,” said Armida, In a joking manner, “ Armida, please ho serious,” said her mother, gravely. “ Oh, I must break out occasionally, mamma, or 1 shall grow melancholy.” MA. Dolaro accepted her daughter’s an­ swer as an indisputable fact. The result, of tho conversation was that Mr. Blodger was deputized to mako arrangements for their early de­ parture by way of LiverpooL He lost no time in doing It, and tbat very day he secured berths on a Cunarder sailing tho last week in May. When the day came everybody was ready, and, as the noble ship steamed down the harbor out on to tho broad Atlantic, Mrs. Delaro’s mind was full o f thoughts re­ garding tho occurrences of tho years since her beloved husband was torn from her side. “ W ill my purpose over be" fulfilled?” she would ask herself. “ And mast that villain I ks permitted to still, roam this earth without paying the penalty of his crime?” , Daring her lifo on board ship she had ample opportunity for undisturbed com­ munion with her thoughts, and some how she had a presentiment that the de­ sire of her life would still be aoeem* plished. Often Bhe would almost give voice to the lines: “ The mills of the gods grind slowly, Hut they grind exceeding small.'' ... Then, with renewed hope in her breast she would Join tho merry throng of pleas­ ure-seekers and endeavor to drive her thoughts into a pleasanter channel, though none but herself knew how touch the effort cost her. Upon arriving in London they went immediately to the hotel which Armida had named to Mrs, Bregy, and at once commenced to “ do” the city and its sur­ roundings. Blodger was delighted. Day after day he would trudgo around with un*. tiring zeal, and he insisted on dragging Armida along with him, until she grew tired of it all and excused herself from most o f his excursions.: |TO BE CONTINUED.)
