The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1881-06-03

In q moment a servant conducted q
young gentleman into the parlor.
His elegant appearance and evident
eager anticipation of meeting some one,
instantly attracted Princes attention. A
sudden fear had come over him when
there was a rustic of silk and light
step, and Honor advanced into the
apartment.
RONALD" she exclaimed.
The stranger sprang to meet her, re-
ceived both her outstretched hands In
either of his and then raised first the one
and then the other to his lips. Prince
could not see Honor's face; but the Joy
Of the gentleman S there was no mistaking.
''How is my darling? Tell me" he
said.
Prince could play eavesdropper no
longer. He advanced into the room.
81 beg your pardon. Is Mrs. Den
leigh in?" he said.
Honor turned with a start, but instinc-
lively regained her self-possession.
"Auntie has gone to see sick neigh.
Dor, Mr.. Winslow. Let me introduce
you to an old friend, Mr.. Raleigh"
If poor Prince was almost speeches.,
Mr.. Ronald Raleigh was ease and vivacity
itself. He seemed OVERLOOKING with q
happiness which, to Prince, at least,
was not contagious.
In few minutes he had turned his
back upon the Naples, not to return. It
had been brief, bright time; but all a
delusion. Honor could not care for him.
She was engaged to another, and all his
love had been in vain.
The dregs of his bright glass were Bit
ter enough; but Mrs. Denleigh, discern
ing half the truth-on observing Raleigh
during a few days Prince was invisible
at her house-remembered her duty, to
call upon her neighbor, Mrs. Winslow.
IF she had had opportunity to tell
Prince what she believed, she would have
builded better than she knew; but Prince,
fast growing misanthropic, had put his
gun over his shoulder and started for the
woods, to avoid her.
There he passed the long day, while
Mrs. Denleigh, after waiting long in vain
for his return, re-entered her pony
ph@ton, much vexed.
"This making matches is the most
trying work Why couldn't he have
fallen in love with HONOR" she said.
Meanwhile Honor, who knew the
truth, and all the truth, was remember
ing distressfully that she was woman
and that all the advances must come
from man. The time for their depart
ure from Redfeld was drawing near.
Mr.. Raleigh, at her suggestion, was an
invited guest at the Naples. And day
after day passed and Prince did not come
near
In fact, that young gentleman was
talking of long projected plan of his for
going to Europe. At length Honor
heard of this.
"Mr. Winslow will not go abroad
without coming to see you, auntie, I
hope" she observed one day.
81 shall be very much offended if
he does" remarked Mrs. Denleigh
promptly.
Plying Prince, whom she sincerely
liked, and partly blaming herself for the
sorrow that had come upon him, she sent
him note, bidding him come to the
Naples. She wrote:
"Don't be foolish boy. If you knew
what noble girl Honor is, you would
blush at your foolishness in loving such
little goose as Amy. But come to the
Naples at once; [ shall never forgive
you if you allow my nieces to go home
without your most courteous FAREWELL
Princes brow ached with thought and
grief, and he did not make much of this
letter. He recognized Mrs. Denleigh's
old error, however, that he loved Amy.
81 will not be rude, and offend all my
friends" he said, screwed up his cour-
age to the sticking point, and went to
the Naples.
It Glanced that he again crossed the
familiar portal unannounced, and found
the reception rooms unoccupied But
in the same moment there was light
footstep, the rustic of silks, and Honor,
bright and beautiful, looked up into his
face
II thought was afraid you were not
coming again, she said softly.
He stood holding her delicate hand; he
could not speak for moment
"Honor," he said, at last, ST forced
myself to come here to-day. It was hard
to see you again"
"Why?" she asked.
There was something strangely gentle
and yielding in the soft brown eyes, and
in spite of that troublesome mistake,
they stood so near together she could
feel the heavy beating of his heart.
Because" he said, with unconscious
reproach in his blue eyes, II love you;
and saw your meeting with Mr. Ra-
leigh"
Honor had been unusually pale. The
color came brightly now into her smooth.
olive cheeks, as she turned and pointed
through the window at one of the garden
walks.
Amy and Mr.. Ronald Raleigh were
Utrolling there.
''You made very natural mistake, !"
she said simply. "Will you let me tell
you how it is?''
He bowed, and they sat down, side by
side.
Amy and I have long lived with an
uncle and aunt who are not on good
terms with MIR. Raleigh's people. But
for this he is not to blame, and is him
self unexceptional in character. For a
year past he and Amy have loved each
other. Ronald, however, could never
visit her, and they were both very I'M
happy, until decided it to be right that
should befriend Ronald. For their
sakes I first suggested this visit, that
they might meet here. Aunt Helen was
not in the plot; but she knows how it is
now, and has no objection to Mr. Ra-
leigh. They will be married soon,
and l."
"And your" cried Prince, enraptured
with hope.
'And I love you" said dear Honor,
hiding her bushes on his breast.
