Cut Flowers at Leagues. AZ
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-25

But the next morning Mrs. Gatty drew from her son all that had happened the night before, and tAenr came another of those dialogues wherein the strongminded mother prevailed, partly at least, over the weaker son.
 She prevailed with much difficulty St this encounter and time was given to Charles to unsew a connection which, he
 declared, he could not cut asunder. With
 fearful eyes and heavy heart he agreed to take some step at the first opportunity No sooner had he agreed to this than
 his mother made him kneef down and de- slowed upon him her blessing. That day, as he was working earnestly
 upon a picture which he hoped might aid
 to free him from the lands of his re-
 morseless creditor, and his mother, with her sewing, sat by, there came a knock
 at the door, and Christie stood in the room.
 Mrs. Gatty arose, beckoned her son aside, and said that this opportunity to
 break with Christie definitely should te
 improved-and she would be within hear
 ing.
 Christie had come to offer to Charles the
 aS0 he owed. Suppose ye are poor-I am
 rich; and, lad, we'll no part"

One Sweetheart Apiece

The fishing village of Newhaven is- or was in those days-an unique place It is colony that still retains distinct features.
 Some say the colony is Dutch, some Flemish, some Danish. But fish. like horse flesh, corrupts the mind and man. ners. The people seldom intermarry with their Scotch neighbors.
 Christie Johnstone was young wom- an of wealth in the community. She had inherited houses, fishing boats and fisn- ing nets from her father, old Fucker Johnstone. One of the idiosyncrasies of the place
 was that the lassies had but one sweet
 heart apiece.
 At the time when Lord Ipsden arrived there to fill his prescription" both men | and women drank whisky like milk; the
 men fought and the women scolded. Ii
 is hard to keep out of groove in which all the town is running, and~ Christie Johnstone, therefore, had to have a lad, She was so wealthy that few dared tc | aspire to her so she took, as her chat. tet a young man called Willie Linston He was kill-joy, who never had ~oJs
 or smile upon him. Nobody liked him And for this female reason Christie dis tinguished him.

A Poor Woman's Blessing

His hand was on the latch when Jessie burst into passion of tears.
 My troubles" she cried; "the sun would set and rise and rise and set again ere l could tell you all. Do not vex yourself for an old wife's tears Tears are. a blessing. Sit down, sit down. I'll not let ye gang frae my door till l have thanked ye.''
 Lord Ipsden sat down, and felt very sorry for the old woman. Fucker was not able to understand how an offer of money and tears were in any wise connected.
 Thus it was that the viscount was able to relieve the sufferings of the widow Jessie Rutherford. He was much impressed; felt that he had be- gun his good work and his physical re- generation.
 Indeed, Jessie was woman "ac- quainted with grief and might have said, "here I and sorrow sit: this is my throne, bid kings come bow to it."
 And when Ipsden went out of the door the old woman blessed him. Not in melodious generality like a strange parents or papas in a damsel's novel: it was like the son of Barak upon Zophim.

His Fathers Ring

He ran back to his mother and de- clared that, so far from parting with Christie, he would marry her tomorrow.
 Mother" said Charles fiercely, urge me no more; my mind is made up for ever I'm not worthy of her, but I'll marry her."
 Charles had given to Christie a. ring which had formerly belonged to his dead father and his mother had seen the ring upon Christie's hand.
 stay" said the old woman in a terri ble voice, If that ring is not off that hussy's finger in half an hour and you my son again, I fall on this sand and"
 "Then God help me, for I'll see the whole world lost eternally ere I'll wrong the only creature that is an ornament to the world.''
 Christie had heard every word of the altercation and she suddenly stood be- tween the mother and son. She raise her hand, dropped the ring on the sand and was gone.
 The old woman picked the ring upa and, placing it on her own finger, said: '''rhis is for your wife,
 Tt will be for my coffin, then" re- piled the son so coldly, so bitterly and solemnly that the mothers heart began to quake.

The Man She Would Marry

viscount Ipsden was so fortunate that he had an income of 1s,o0o pounds a year; a good. strong consti- tuition, and was only 25 years old.
 Yet, as the Lady Barbara Sinclair. with whom he was in love, would have none of him he was unhappy and went to the expense of sending for the most celebrated physician in London, Dr. Aberford.
 Really Ipsden had not sent for the physician. It was his faithful valet, Saunders, who engineered the summon ing of the medical man and made his master agree to the summons.
 Lady Barbara had written the follow ing note to Ipsden In reply to formal proposal of marriage which he had sent to her.
 "The man I marry must have two things, virtues and vices. You have neither You do nothing and never will do anything but sketch and hum tunes and dance and dangle. Forget this folly the day after tomorrow, my dear Ipsden, and, if l may ask favor of one to whom I refuse that which would not be kindness, be still good friends with me-"
 That was what Lady Barbara said about his lordship's case.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-25
Heroism Rewarded

Now some days before Lord 1psden had gone out in the teeth of a gale to the rescue of a vessel in distress and succeeded in saving her. It was a rather heroic piece of work and Lady Barbara, hearing of 1t, concluded that all heroism was not yet out of the world. s4n
 But what Lady Barbara had heard was only an outline of the matter. and she did not know the name of tho vessel.
 My dear kinsman." said she, If all my money had not gone down in the Tisbe should be very kind to you. You have heard about my West India estate? It was turned into coin and the coin placed on board the Tisbe-and the Tisbe was lost"
 But it was that very Tisbe which had been prevented from going down by Ipsden-it was the ship he had res- cued.
 The short of the matter was that Bas. bara was proposed to once more by Ipsden and this time she accepted with thanks.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-25
Not Come For Nothing

Christie happened to be in the studio" of the aspiring artist as the elder wom- an came up the stairs-and they were long stairs.
 "She must know about the writ, ! thought Gatty, as he kissed his mother af- fectionately.
 He was especially disturbed becaust the writ was the outcome Of his dis obedience of his mothers commands. Last year he had commenced picture in which Durham cathedral had been de- picted from an actual sight of the place.
 His mother had objected to this and bade him stay at home and paint the pie ture, as any other artist would paint from prints.o But the young man had. instead of obeying his mother, spent five months about Durham and had borrowed eco in order to do 1t.
 T did not come from Newcastle at my age for nothing,'' said Mrs. Gatty. when Christie had taken her leave. You have formed an improper acquaintance "With whom, rnother?" With a fishwife-O, my sons
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-25
Writing His Own Prescription

The viscount was beginning to feel that he was very small potatoes" in- deed under the scornful gaze of the round and ruddy doctor.
 "Ah a yacht send her to Granton Pier in the Firth of Forth Sit down and write this prescription"
 "Saunders," said Lord Ipsden.
 "Saunders be hanged" snapped the doctor, "sit down and write it your self"
 Then the wealthy viscount wrote from dictation the following prescrip- ton:
 Make acquaintance with all the peo- pie of low estate who have the time and patience to be bothered with you Learn their ways, their minds, their troubles. Relieve one fellow creature every day and let MT. Saunders book the circumstances
 And go dshing--that beats deer stalking Run your nose into adven- lures at sea. Live upon tenpence and earn 1t.
 will receive my bill"
 A"Saunders," said Lord Ipsden smart ly send to Gravesend and order the yacht to-this place Ae doctor named what was it?'
 "Granton Pier?--yes. my lord" and the perfect valet was off about his business.

BY CHARLES READE


Charles" she cried, Eye will no gang to jail-I have the siller"-and she of- Tered him the money with both hands.
 Ere Gatty could speak his mother put forth her hand and, not rudely but very firmly, repelied Christie's arm.
 My sons own talent" said the elder woman, '.has rescued him from his little temporary embarrassment"
 "A nobleman has bought my picture" said Charles, proudly.
 |, Christie stood like a statue. She felt like crying. She put the bank notes again into her bosom, sighed and said: T wpuld have liked to be the first to help you but I am real pleased.''
 She could not tell them what it was herself who had sent Lord Ipsden upon that mission which. until now, she had not known he had performed.
 Christie turned and walked away. Mrs. Gatty commanded her son to follow her and speak the decisive words which should separate them. But Charles, when aione with Christie, could not speak the fatal words.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-25

 lad" It is a Newhaven idea that the female is the natural protector of the male, and this idea was strengthened in her case.
 She had property-but she wanted ready money for her lad. She did not comprehend Gatty's character, and tenn perament but she saw by instinct that she was his protector.
 Several days passed thus, and Christie began to be surprised that Charles did not come to sec her. She began to feel that something was preventing his com- ing to see her.
 But Jean Carnie was to be married, and the wedding party to spend the day in festivity, picnicking upon the island of Inch Coombe. Christie bade Jean go call on Charles and invite him to this party, from which, he must know, she, Christie Johnstone, would not be absent.

Not Necessarily Fatal

The doctor said-after making an ex- animation of the young Hullo' here is viscount as sound as coach Young man, your organs are all right but you really are out of sorts. II follows that you have the maladies oi idle minds-love, perhaps, among the rest"
 Ipsden blushed.
 "Ah. I see I have hit it the very first guess. Love Is a cutaneous disease and will never kill patient. What are your vices?"
 saunders" asked the viscount help lessly, what are my vices?"
 "M' lord. your lordship has no vices, replied Saunders, with dull matter-of- fact solemnity.
 Hum, what interests your said pr Aberford

 "What amuses you?"

An Artists Mistake

Willie found famous supper every Sun day night al Christies house, and while he ate and sighed Christie laughed at him. As Christie neither fed nor laughed at other men. 20 fishermen were jealous of Linston. and this gave the blighted youtl, a cheerful moment or two.
 But now. beside the viscount, there had come into Newhaven an artist-at least a man who was not bad fellow and who thought he was an artist. His only mis- take was in thinking that things should be painted as they are-which is bad art.
 Being poor, he foregathered with the fsherfolk of the town and was recom- n,erdcd to Ipsden by Christie Johnstone as proper object of charity Quietly be- stowed) for the viscount.
 Christie could and would have relieved

Gatfv Seeks Advice

The moment the painter found him. self alone with Jean Carnie in his own house he told her what trouble he was in; how his mother had convinced him of his imprudence in falling in love with Christie Johnstone and how she had insisted upon the connection being broken off
 Jean heard him out and then told him that he was a fool and his mother another.
 You, beggarly artist" she cried without a rap. Christie has houses and nets and boats; she lays by money every year. It is rank imprudence for her to fall in love with the likes of you.''
 Gatty was astonished. Was common sense really on the side of bliss? And when Jean told him to join her party on Inch Coombe the next day or never look her in the face again, the scales seemed 10 fall from his eyes.
 He begged Jean on no account to tell Christie of the struggle he had been having with regard to loving her, and vowed he would be at the marriage festivities.

simply a Vulgar Person"

Christie Johnstone an improper ac- quaintance? Why. was good for nothing until l saw her; she has made me So good, mother, so steady and industrious.
 But Mrs. Gatty was not to be moved She argued, commanded and appealed If he did not immediately break with Christie Johnstone the mother would go back, broken hearted, to Newcastle
 Even the fact that Christie was rich did not make any Impression in her ia vor upon Mrs. Gatty She was simply vulgar person who did not even wear the clothes of lady"
 The determined Mrs. Gatty finally so wrought 'lpon her rather weak son that he consented, not to give up Christie al- together. but to remain passive and see if this Creature was really necessary to nis existence or not. Snt
 So he kept away from the faithful Chris tie and busied himself with his paintings.

A CLASSIC
 IN A PAGE

Christie Johnstone" was Charles Reade's second novel, and Is said to contain much biography, autobiography and fact. The viscount in the story, it will be noticed, takes his title from Reade's birthplace, Ipsden. and the story is dedicated to the authors moth- CT.
 Reade, in Christie Johnstone," shows that he made a special and thorough study of the fisher-folk as they existed in his day at Granton Pier and the other fishing villages of the Firth of Forth.
 There are really two stories in the novel, one the story of the loves of Lady, Barbara Sinclear and Viscount Ipsden, and the other of the loves of Christie Johnstone and Charles Gatty.
 If the character of Saunders, the in comparable valet of Ipsden, is an ex- aggerated piece of work. 1t Is neverthe- less a delightful one.
