6 HARLEY'S MARRIAGE. | Chambers Journa'. CHAPTER 1. It was blowing a strong soutiieaster one November morning in 1%5—, as I landed at Long wharf, S8an Francisco, from the storeship lying out in the stream, of which I thun had charge. I had not proceeded Taany steps toward Montgomery stret, the principal bus- iness thoroughfare of the city, when a heavy hand was laid on my shoulder, and T recoguized the cheery voice of John Harley, the most intimnte friend 1 had made since my arrival in Cali- fornia some sixteen months before. “The very man, Ingram, that I wanted to see. I only arrived from ‘Stockton an hour ago, and was just coming off to your old tub to bring you on shore; for I want your advice and assistance, and that immediately. The bark Albert Allen is to be sold at auction to-day at 1 o’clock, and as I hear she is a fine veasel, T wish you to come and look at her; and if you think well of it T will bid up to a rea- sonable figure, more particularly if you will take command of her and take again to the high seas instead of ‘burying yourself in a storeship,” “You buy a ship, Harley? Surely, with your mining claims and city lots, ou must have quite enough on your {nndl,” said I, in some surprise. I have nothing of the sort; for I have sold out everything but the ca- boose and lot in n{rp{l alley, which, in consideration of the sum of §1 to me in hand paid, I shall bargain, sell and convey to Mrs, Bullivan, who nursed me 80 well some months ago. Her husband, you know, was shot in a gambling house, and sho i loft with three children; though, by the way, I think she is better without him, the reckless, drunken fellow! Come, I want some breakfast, and then we will go and look at the vessel, and I'll tell you all my plans.” John Harley was an Englshman of independent means. His father being a wealthy man, who had no other child, on his coming of age settled a liberal income upon him. While making a tour of the United States, curiosity and a love of new scenes and adventures had drawn Harley to the Far West El Dorado, without any no- tion then of gain, Catching, however the universal fever of enterprise raging around him, he had pecuniarily in- terested himself in several under- takings. Harley had made the acquaintance of Herr Van Dusen, a Dutch machant from Batavia, the chief town of the island of Java, who had come thence in a vessel of his own. He was ac- companied by his niece, the daughter of his brother and partner, a sea voy- age having been recommended for her b{ her medical advisers. Two months of their society had proved sufficient to settle the matter so far as John Harley was concerned; and the young lady on her departure for home had taken John's daguerreotype and a iece of his hair inclosed in a gold ocket as a souvenir of her English lover. The uncle would hear of no engagement without her mother's con- sent; but Harley had promised, as soon as he could -wind up his Cali- fornia interests, to follow them to Batavia and endeavor to obtain that consent. All this he related to me at break- fast, and a great deal more which is not worth repeating, lovers' rhapso- dies being really interesting only to themselves, 1learned, however,from him that Miss Van Dusen’s mother was an Englishwoman, whose hus- band having retired from the com- mand of the famous Duch East In- diamen line, had become a merchant in Batavia, and had there died, leav- ing a widow and this one daughter. _ At the time of which I write, Eng- lish ships in California were very frequently sold at extremely low prices, Deserted by their crows, and not \mlro%lxlently by their captains also, the ships were sacrificed often for less than one-third their value, when sold ht sheriff's sale, to defray the in- debtedness incurred since their arri- val, Availing himself of these cir- cumstances, Harley desired to make something out of his trip to Batavia, the more 80 as there was no other way of getting thither withqut tedious and trying delay. After our inspection, ho purchased the ship at the auction for a sum equivalent to about one thousand pounds. Of our passage, as being without any noteworthy incident, it 1s enough to say that, with remarkably fine weather it was pleasant till almost the last day; that it was rapid, from favorable winds and a fast vessel in expelleu!. sailing trim, and that on the thirty-ninth day we anchored in Sin- gapore roads. Within two days of our arrival at Bingapore a tolerably ood character was obtained for the bert Allen to proceed to Java and return; which would probably take about two months, Our charterer, a shrewd Portuguese trader there, put & supercargo aboard to look after his interests; and as he was urgent for our departure, and as Harley was not less 80, on the sixth day from our dm;pipg our anchor we again weighed and sailed for Batavia, :vfire after a 2 :»:iu:dht prolonged passage we safely ved. The anchor had hardly reached the bottom ere Hnlu{ wouls have shoved offin a shore-boat for the landing, but that I had to check him till the usual shore tions had been com- Kl.ud :e:. :d ot of which would ve involvi m in great trouble and expense. A full hour and a half was he fu and fretting before, all the forms having been gone through, he left us, waving his hat, and urging the boatmen to renewed exertions, in fihflcwmh Mr. Van Dusen's ices. Ey ing seemed so far to fi Harley's hopes, Mr. Van Dusen m{ him home with him some miles from the town; and the same evening he was mufl 'ifiiu Susette Van 's mother. This was on the l(clgd.z; and onthe Thurs- dfiLIn“- to sail for Surabaya in the In view of my :‘ui ’;d depature, t‘lim next mon 1 ved an ipvitation to ding with Mr. Van Dusen on the ldlodvluiu day, v T4 LA Ly | #equent shortne together with an apo' w for the oon “8 bf the invitation, ( which was of co%irsa went out ot com | pliment to He.rde,g, “who had mention. | | ed mo a8 A e intimate friend. At Mr. Van Dusen's 1 met his sis ter-in-law . Mrs. Van Dusen, and her daughte,r, and cortainly amore charm- ing gicl it had seldom been my lot to wee. Hadey informed me that the le'ctors and references as to Iis stand- ing and character, which had been forwarded %o him by his father to Singapore, together with introductory letters to gentlemen in Batavia, had been perfectly satisfactory to both Miss \V:n Dusen’s uncle and mother, and the consent of the latter had been given, and the marriage he h would take place in about a month. On the 12th day of March I re- turned from Surbaya to Batavia with a full cargq for Singapore, and as Harley was to be married the next morning I would be able to attend as best man to my friend and sail the same evening for my destination. Very beautiful looked Susette in her bridal dress; and supremely hap- py was Harley as they stood before the clergyman and were joined in the bonds of matrimony A most taste- ful dejeuner was laid out at Mrs, Van Dusen’s “country residence; and at 2 o'clock I took my leave, having some ship's business to transact before sail- ing, The newly married pair were to leave in the cool of the evening for another house of Mrs. Ven Dusen’s, on aplantation fourteen miles distant, there to pass the first few days of the honeymoon. It was nearly sunset before I had transacted all the ship’s business and returned on board. Everything was in readiness for nnilinf, 80 that as soon as L got on board I gave orders to be under weigh. Just as the wind. lass was manned a note from Harle; was brought off ina shore boat. opened it and was completely aa- tounded at its contents: “‘Don’t trip your anchor till I come. Iam qaing with you, Take my traps on board." . 8. HARLEY, The scrawl was hardly legible, but was still unquestio Harley's handwriting. For an instant the wild idea flashed across me that it was pos- sibly a practical joke. But then I knew that he was not a man to piay such, and even if he were, a fow hours after marriage would hardly be the time even the most practical joker would choose to indulge in such a propensity. I looked into the boat, and there were trunks, bags, and desas in great disorder, evidently hurried off without packing or care. The man in charge only knew that they came down in a wagon and were sent off in his boat, and that I was to grant a receipt for them. For some little time T racked my brain in a vain attempt to guess of some clew to this extraordinary cir- cumatance. I then took the spy glass, and looking toward the shore, ? BAW Harley coming off to the ship in an- other boat. In afew minutes more he sprang over the side looking like a man bereft of his senses. Throwing a number of small silver coins into the boat, he just looked up at me wildly for an instant, saying: ‘‘Get under weigh as soon as you can, In- gram,” and hurried down the compan- jon stairway. I followed to tell him to go in my cabin, as the one he had occupied was filled with cargo; but he had already gone into mine and bolted the door; and in answer to knocking only re- plied: “‘Come down after you have 'got & good offing.” As soon as T had got the ship well outside, which was quite two hours, during which time I could not leave the d‘{:ck, I went down again; and after knocking two or three times, Harley unbolted the door. His face was deadly pale, with an occasional flushing over for a minute or 8o as he clenched his hands and seemed almost in a convulsion. Tdid not speak. I knew not what to say. He drew him- sclf away hastily, and continued to walk to and fro. Then he spoke: “They tell us there is a God. How could He in mercy allow this?” He struck his forehead and sank on to the little sofa. Again I took his hand. “‘Calm ourself, Harley. Whatever may have happened, bear it like a ‘man— like the man I know you to be.” “Ingram,” he said, *‘I came out of the house with you to see you off to- day, when you left Mrs. Van Dusen; and if you remember, after you bid Susette good-by, she went up stairs, Ihave not seen her since, I shall never seo her again—1I never can see her again!” He paused; and it flashed across me that he had made some discovery as to his wife's conduct or character which had at once made him deter- mined to leave her. Possibly the ex- pression of my tell-tale countenance indicated something of this, for he looked up at me suddenly, *Poor, poor Susette! how can she bear this! She will think me a scoundrel; and oh! that is hard to bear. But better at, than that she should know what I know that |which her mother dare not, cannot tell her.” “Ingram!” said he, starting up. *‘I have married my sister—my own mother's child!” “‘Good heavens! Harley, do not say that. It cannot be. Some miscon- ception of something you have heard.” “There is no misconception, T made the discovery ten minutes after Kon quitted Mrs, Van Dusen’s, Iam wr sou, though she knew it not till I showed her a minature of my father when he was young.” ““Thank God for his mercy, Harley, that you were not later in making the discovery,” He paused for some seconds, and then replied: *“That is true. It was wicked to doubt His mercy.” He seemed calmer now, and gnadu- ally T gathered from him all the atten- dant circumstances, Intimate as 1 had been with Harley, I merely knew from him that he did not remember his mother, as she had died when he was an infant, and that he had been brought up by another lady till he went to school. Ofj his family mat- ters he had always been somewhat reticent. “‘Ihada letter from my father,” or “‘I must write to my father by this mail,” was generally all the reference he made to the subject of his home belongings; so that T was as totally unprepared for the informa- tion he gave me now of his antece- dents as T had been for that connected THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY AUGUST 6 with the unhappy, miscrable events of the day CHAPTER 11, Immediately after T had left Mrs, Van Dasen’s, the rest of the comy had also departed, with the exception of one or two bosom friends of Susette who intended remaining with her till the newly married pair started in the evening. Harley was then in the room alone with Mrs. Van Dusen, and turning over the contents of a desk which he had forgotten in his hurry in leaving the ship, and which 1 sent on shore after him, he took out & miniature of his father taken some twenty-years before. This he handed to Mrs, Van Dusen, saying. “‘There is my father.at the age of twant{.” ““Why, this is a likeness of Charles 8mith, not of your father. Where did you get it?” exclaimed Mrs. Van Dusen, excitedly. I got it from my father himself. He was Charles Smith when it was paintedf but some three or four years afterward he unexpectedly inherited a largo cstate, and with is the name of Harley. But how strange all this is! Did you know him, that you recog- nize the miniature/” ““Oh, do net ask me,” cried Mrs, Van Dusen, with much agitation; ‘I can hardly bear the thought of it. But speak—speak truly; have you always been called John Harley?” “No. Till I was nearly 10 ycars old I was called John Harrison.” ‘‘Fasten the door! Oall nobody. Water!” gasped Mrs. Van Dusen in a hoarse whisper, as she dropped on to a sofa close to which she was standing. In a few minutes she burst into sobs and as she was pressing the tumbler of water to her lips, she clasped him rouud the neck, crying: My boy, my boy. My son, my son!” ‘‘Yes, dear mother, your son now, and I hope to be a loving one. But why does the fact of your having known my father excite you so terri- ribly?” replied Harley, gently, as he returned her caress, ‘‘My son—my son, I tell you! And Iam indeed and truly your mother. Your father wrofe to me that you had died when six months old; and some months before that your father—my husband - had died in India of sun- stroke. Oh, wicked, wicked thus te deceive me, as he must also have de- ceived your father!” It was Harley now, according to the poor fellows piteous narrative, that was the most overcome. He stood oyer his_mother in speechless amaze- ment, while the horror of his position gradually unfolded itself to him. At this moment Susette came to the door, and, finding it bolted, knocked and called him by name. Harley could not speak. But now for a time Mrs. Van Dusen showed the strongest nerve of the two. Con- trolling her feelings wonderfully, she rose, went to the door and calmly said, “‘John and I, dear, have some business to arrange connected with your marriage. Leave us for an hour or two, for we have much to do, Now, do go when I ask you, for our time is but short." Answered, but far from satisfied, the young bride went reluctantly from the door; and Mrs. Van Dusen re- turned to the sofa, and asked Harley to give an account of his early youth. He told her that his first recollec- tion was when about b years old, he was at the seaside with a lady, a Mrs. Jones, with whom he remained till put to a boarding school. She was very kind to him, and loved him ex- ceedingly, and often spoke to him of her own little boy, who was dead, and would appear vexed that he did not remember him, which he could not say he did. At 7 yeurs of age he was sent to a day school and two years later a gentloeman, who hadoften come to see him, took him away and put him to another school, at the same time telling him that he was his father and that his proper name was John Smith Harley. Further explanation between Mrs. Van Dusen and Harley only served to confirm the astounding intelligence tha, he was her son, whom she had | hitherto believed to have died in in- fancy, Harley had also been inform- ed that his mother had died while he | was quite young. “And your father—my husband,” asked Mrs. Van Dusen, “is he still alive?” *Harley answered in the affirma- tive, “Oh, what a wretched woman I am,” she cried, to have my first hus- band living, and yet to have been the | wife, and now the widow, of aunother man!" | Her distre of mind was surely | painful to witness, and in the sight of | it Harley almost forgot his own bewil- | deriug position. How at once to sep- | arate from Susette was now the mo. mentous question “‘She must be told everything, and | T will go to her now,” said Mrs, Vi Dusen us she rose and went trembling ly toward the door. | But the genorous heart of Harley | refused to subject her to so sudden trial. In an instant he decided how to act. Gently drawing her back to the sufa, and Kissing her tenderly, l, by a strong effort, spoke quictly and | calmly: “‘Dear mother, I must not cannot be the means of causi the further trial of commu these cireumstances to Susette, would only add, and I think need lessly, to the bitterness of our inevi- table parting. The knowledge of the unfortunate events of your early life would only be 8 source of reflection which we can surely for the present spare her; and after she has somc. what recovered from the shock of our Separation you can communicate them to herin your own way. I will now write a letter to her, telling her that sudden and unforseen n“'ll of gn‘snt importance com| me to leave for Bingapore, n tx:h Albert Allen im- mediately——that I cannot bear the trial of a parting scene, but that I will write to her as sson as I arrive there. Though she will suffer much, yet I think she will do less this way than any other. Trying to save both her and you as much *as m’:ll:nwl\)l‘l“ouu p- haps extenuate the Harley having persuaded Mrs, Van i | agé been cnabled to move higher sphere in society than that in ina much which he had been born; and, likey many others similarly situated, formed the most extravagant ideas as to the future of his son Charles, named after him, and of his twin sister, Elion, For the first of these he got a commis- sion ina “‘orack” regiment; and on the final return of his daughter from school, he engaged for her a_compan- ion, a sweet, amiable girl, and an orphan, Between Charles and her a warm attachment was soon formed, which ripened into love. Charles pfinuule(rh«r. on some pretense, to visit London for a short time, where she stayed with her old schoolmistress. During this time the bans of marriage were published in the two churches of the respective parishes they satyed in, ufter wSuch they were united. When Charles’ father came to learn what had taken place he gave way to the most violent passion, and avowed that the woman who had_thus entrap- ped his son would never be allowed to bear his name. He went up to Lon- don and compelled Charles to ex- change at once into a cavalry regiment serving in India, The youth pleaded to be allowed to take his wife with him, or to remain at home, but his father was inexorable; and Charles being under age, and entirely depend- ent upon Lis father for support, was unable to resist the maridate. Thus, after but a few weeks of mar- ried life, they were torn from - each other, and the most Charles could ob- tain from his unrelenting parent was promise that his wife —or Miss Harri- son, as his father chose to call her— hould be well cared for. To do him justice, Mr. Smith faithfully perform- ed this, but it was after exacting a promise from the poor girl that she should never make known the mar- riage with his son. She was indeed well provided for, and a son who was afterward born to her, was taken from the mother and given to Mrs. Jones, the widow of a curate lately deceased, and who had been left with an_infant 1881 FEENEY & CONNOLLY, BOOTS, SHOES, SLIPPERSI Of every grade and size at At Prices Heretofore Un- heard of. They have this week added to their stock a splendidiew fot of Ladies and Misse's of her own, Mr. Smith paying liberal- ly for the care of the boy. After the young mother's recove she obtained, through Mr. Smith’s in- fluence, indirectly applied, a situation a8 governess in Amsterdam. She had received several letters from Charles, n which he told her that, as soon as he was of age, he would come home and make their marriage public; snd he had also written to his father to the same effect, Determined, however, to break off the connection, Mr. Smith, as soon as he had obtained the situation for the poor young wife in Amsterdam. wrote to his son that she had died of Jtyphoid fever; and at the same time he wrote to her that his son had died in India very suddenly. This she fully believed, but she came to England once to see her child. Fear- ful that if these visits were frequently repeated she would find out (ile de- ception he had practiced as to hisson’s death, Mr. Smith further again de- ceived her by sending her intelligence of the death of her child itself a fow months later. All connection between them was thus terminated; and some years, in entire ignorance or suspicion of the deception that had been prac- ticed upon her, she married Captain Van Dusen, thecommander of a Dutch East Indiaman, When Charley Harley, in India, received the false intelligence of his wife’s death, he wrote to his father bogging him to see that everything ossible should be done for the child’s ealth and welfare, and this Mr. Smith faithfully did. On his father's death, two years after, Charles sold his commission and came home from India, when, suc- ceeding to large estates from his maternal granduncle, he assumed the name of Harley. Thereupon he formally acknowledged John as his son, and peosioned off Mrs. Jones, put the lad to school, and, after he came of age, settled on him a most liberal reward. It was very unfortunate that we had an unusually quick passage to Singapore, for the next morning af- ter smling from Batavia, on going in- to the cabin where Harley was, I found him in a raging fover and quite delerious, I did the best I could to allay his sufferings; but up to our ar- rival at Singapore, he remained in the same state and was carried on shore to the hotel, where the best medical aid was procured, It was more than a fortnight before he was considered out of danger, though stli terribly prostrated by weakness. Of course he had been unable to write to, Busette, as he proposed, and was still incapable of doing so; but he requested me to pen a few lines to Mrs, Van Dusen, intimating that he had been very ill, and, though now recovering, was too weak to write, This I did; and two more days passed, the symptoms continuing favorable. Then came a lotter by a steamer from Mrs. Van Dusen, full of anxietv, our arrival at Singapore haviug been roported there, With it came some Euglish letters, which had gone to Batavia from Singarpore, and wero now returned by Mrs, Van Dusen. {One of these, I could not help ob- serving, was a somewhat bulky packet, edged with black, Idid not, however choose to notice the circumstance {|when I handed Harley the letters, but left him for a while to read them. I lounged about for some time on the veranda until a Chinese waiter came to say that Mr, Harley wanted me im- modiately, As I entered the room I saw that he had raised himself up in his bed. His face was flushed, and Continued on seventh page, Smm—— No Matter What Happens Yon may rest assured that you,m safe in being speedily cured by THoMAs' EoLko- Tkio OIL in all cases of rheumatism, neu- ralma, toothache, ete, One trial only is uccossary to prove its efficacy. augl-lw —— Bucklin's Arniea Salve.
