l say he lived there, hut he only spent
part OF the time in the little town Of
s., for his business kept him in the
city during the winter months; but as
soon as tho warm days came the house
would be opened. and he would ride
through tho town in his big coach, drawn
by four horses and driven by n coIored
coOchman.
The judge was q widowcr, and lived
alone with his servants and an old house.
keeper. So you may imagine tile sur.
prise Of the villagers one day early in tie
spring Of 1912 when they heard that
Squire CushmAn, rs he was called, had
brought home with him lovely young
girl.
At first all thought that he had mar
ried again, but soon the report was circu-
lated TINT his niece had come from Eng
land alone, with only maid to attend
her, to visit him, And long visit we
all thought 1t would be, for war had Just
been declared with Great Britain, md
probably there would 30 no friendly in
tercoursc between the two countries for
u long time.
OF course all were anxious to see the
now conner, hut none were gratiiied I'M.
til tho following Sabbath, when she ap.
peared Mt church with the old squire.
She was true English maiden, with
fair hair and luStrous blue eyes, and a
complexion in which lilies and roses were
skilltully blended by natures hand. She
was the observed Of all observers, /" but
bore herself molestly, seeming uncon.
scious Of the gaze of all around her.
Many were the questions asked, many
the conjcctures formed, as to her pres.
ence in the lonely house, so far from
home and in al enemy's country; and
finally the mystery was solved by the
old houSekeeper, who divulged it as a
great secret to friend u hers, an in.
veterate gossip, who soon made the az.
fair the property Of the while neighbor.
hood.
Rose Cushman, the daughter Of tho
squire's only brother, was a motherless
child. and had grown to womanhood
without knowing what Il was to be re.
fused the slightest wish, for she had al.
ways been her fathers idol. He had
planned in her early childhood that she
should marry the son Of his most inti.
mate friend.
But such designs are rarely accom-.
plished. At the age Of 10 Rose met a
young and gallant officer in his maiesty's
navy, and lost her heart almost at first
light. The affection was reciprocated,
and, not dreaming Of any obstacle, tho
lovers plighted their troth with the
!ondest and brightest hopes for the
future.
But the father Of Rose sternly refused
70 consent to their engagement, and for.
bade Rose ever TO SCe her lover again.
But years Of indulgence had not prepared
his daughter for such arbitrary measures,
and she continued to meet her lover se.
'retIy whenever she was nble to do 80.
