Death and Love

In the serious business light he had never before regarded the question, and though it perplexed him, it gave him also q delicate sense of reality.
 His nebulous passion was resolving it. self into the steady glow of a fixed love love meant to end in those solemn duties of married life which all good men, and women, too, are born for and which neither sex can shirk or set aside, or by any fate lose, without involving a certain incompleteness in character and destiny.
 He did write to his mother at once, telling her the whole story. And she wrote to his lawyer, ordering that the inheritance be transferred to the daugh- ter of Archibald Jardine.
 But before he could receive a reply to his letter to his mother, the shadow of death descended upon the household of his beloved. Her mother died sud- denly of the disease which had so long been afflicting her. This blow brought Silence and Roderick still closer together and they confessed their love to each other.

Economies at Blackhan

This encounter with Bella caused Roderick to hasten his departure for Blackhall, which had been repaired and put in a suitable state for their occu- pancy. It was a lonesome old place, to be sure, and their means just managed to support them there-with the con- stant economies of Silence. who was now the paymaster and to whom Rod erick after one or two disastrous at tempts at financial management. now left all money details.
 Vainly did Roderick cast about for some way of increasing his income. He wrote novel, but publisher after pub fisher sent it back "declined"; though Silence was sure it was a wonderful production

with more tender, watchful love than was Silence.
 Still he was not quite perfect and by this time she had found it out. Per hape the very tenderest bit of woman's heart comes out toward the man she loves when she first discovers that sae has something to pardon in him-and pardons.

 He turned to Neuchatel, and that evening at the home of the Reyniers he met the young lady of the blue eyes and the Jungfrau sunset-Silence Jardine, daughter of the late pas teur." Archibald Jardine She sup ported herself and her widowed mother by giving singing lessons.
 Roderick's mind had been full of her all the way back from Berne to Neuchatel---he was entranced when he had discovered that his girl-the first in all his life to whom he had given 2 second thought--was his cousin; very distant. but still cousin, and another Silence Jardine
 In his quixotic search he had done nothing-had almost forgotten wha, he had meant to do--yet here it was all done for him. He had a feeling as of d man pursued by faoe-blind, irresist- ible and yet blessed fate.

He had not been to Blackhall as he had intended, but had had correspond ence with MT. Black, the old factor there, who knew all the family affairs and had given him letter of introduction to a M.

 The question was hard and dry and as mother and son faced each other they both recognized, perhaps for the first time, that they had the same strong will. In this Roderick was more like his mother than his father. The sturdy old blacksmith lived in both of them and they each realized that it was war to the knife

Roderick was deeply touched. He had seen Silence Jardine but once. .Tllat was when his father was dying, and the spinster had come to him in his last moments A wonderful bright ness. he remembered, had come over his fathers face when at the sight of her the dying man had said: Cousin Silence?" and she had replied Yes, Henry" and had bent over and kissed him.
 He remembered that in the business arrangements after his fathers death which, RodericlS being under age. were conducted wholly by Mrs. Jardine, he had been told that Blaclxhall was "a tumbled down place" which nobody would care for and was to be inhabited as long as she liked by Miss Silence Jardince.
 There was a paragraph in the law Ter's letter which stated that when he drew Miss Jardines will she had said to him that her only other kindred were some distant cousins living. she believed. in Switzerland who, if poor 'khc left to Roderick's kindness

Poverty Disappears

Silence rapidly recovered: the child grew and thrivedAhe was the forerun- ner of xeveral other children--and the reconciliation between Roderick and his mother was complete. Roderick also throve and prospered. There was no more poverty at Blackhall which be- gan to extend it's hospitality as in the old days of the prosperity of the Jar dimes.
 Roderick sometimes said that he should like to have engraved on his tombstone as the root Of all his happi- ness, all his success, that line of Ten nyson's: Who loved one woman and who clave to her" But" he would add. Tt was because my wife was Silence Jardine.'
