CHAPTER TWELFTH.

1t was midnight at Morgan Manor
| The lamp was shaded. the curtains were
closely drawn, Mrs. Freeiand was dying.
Alice sat weeping by her mothers pillow
and the young minister, who had been
but two weeks in his new parish, was
kneeling in prayer ov the bedside. Gen.
Grant, his wife. Harvey Hale and old
Lucy sat silent and fearful around the
room.
AS the voice of the minister ceased, the
dying woman opened her eyes and beck
oned to Alice to bend down her head that
she might speak to her.
My child,'' said she family, "when l
am gone, search the small drawer in my
secretary. and there you will find pa
pers which. after my death, may be of
great Importance to you. Do not. when
you discover the mystery surrounding
your birth and parentage. blame her, who
has ever striven to be to you a mother,
| for her silence"
Surprised at these words, the meaning
of which she could not comprehend, AL
ice looked upon her mother in fearful ST
lence.
"You are very dear to me-" again
whispered the sufferer "let your conso
lation be that you have been to me ever
dutiful, ever kind. If my duty to you as
mother has been as faithfully perform
ed as yours as daughter, l am satisfied.
But the papers will tell you ALL can
not linger long with you. God bless you
God guard you
Alice chafed her mothers cold hands,
and wept in agony as the loved voice
ceased to fall upon her ear. Slowly the
hand grew colder and colder, the breath
came shorter and more short, and her
hot tears fell upon the brow of a corpse.
The last mournful rites had been per-
formed, the funeral was over, and Alice
sat alone in the old room at Morgan Ma
nor. Her face was very pale, and show
ed in strong contrast with the dress she
wore. All was silent and desolate and
lonely. The sunlight which came in at
the mullioned window, and played
through the leaves of the old willow, was
the only companion the orphan had
Her thoughts were dwelling upon her
mothers last words to her. What then,
was the mystery enveloping her birth and
pareutage ? She could not yet, with her
aching heart, peruse the papers which
her mother had said would explain all,
and weeping bitter tears in her lonely
sorrow, she tried to decide upon some
plans for the future, which lay so sha-
dowy and dreary before her. General
Grant had urged her to make her home
at his house. but she remembered in her
heart that he was Roberts father, and
she could not subject herself 70 the bit
terness which must arise in her own
breast if she accepted the offer. She had

CLARKsBURG, WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER 1eh, 1853.

had not failed to observe Mr.. Grants re-
pealed absences of late from her side,
and that his constant visits to Morgan
Manor had forced upon her the belief
that his cousin Alice had stronger hold
upon his affections than herself. That in
his proposal for postponement of their
marriage she read plainly an irksomeness
of its existence.
Better for us both," she continued,
''to dissolve a relationship SO hastily form
ed. We knew too little of each other.
and other reasons force upon me the as
surance that we could never be happy to-
gether. Consider yourself free,'' she ad-
ded, ." from this hour, to wed whom you
please, and when you please. As for
myself, l henceforth stand untrammeled
by the fe:ters which have SO lately bound
me, and you shall feel free to do the
same"
Lena dispatched this to Robert by a
servant, whom she had also laden with
kind messages and choice delicacies for
Alice and her mother, to whom, for rea-
sons of his own. Harvey had never told
all he knew with regard to the attempted
suppression of the MS.
Robert was at home when he receiyed d
the billet, and he read it with feelings of
mingled astonishment and anger. Not
withstauding his affection for Lena, he
plainly saw that she had used his propo-
sition to cover the apparently transparent
motive which prompted her to break the
engagement. He felt that preference for
another must be the cause of this sudden
reyulsion of feeling. He knew that Lena
possessed too much common sense to al
low the plausible reason he had given her
to create this break. Disappointed, chill
led and half frenzied, he de termined to
see her once more.
Three several times he sought an inter
view and was refused. Stung to the soul.
Robert sought his father and told him
all.
"I cannot remain here" he exclaimed,
as he walked this room, in a state border
ing almost on frenzy. My engagement
with Miss Forrest has been a subject oi
common conversation throughout the
place. l cannot remain here to bear the
gibes of the curious, much less the pity
of my friends. False-hearted girl how
happy l might have been had We never
met"
The next morning after this conversa-
ton, with his determination unknown to
any, save his father, Robert had depart
ed from Preston.
From that day. the family of General
Grant. resenting the insulting treatment
which had been shown their son. ceased
to recognize Mrs. Forrest and her daugh-
ter, and the widows star from that hour
began visibly to decline.
