Jack's Diplomacy.
When Jack Harwood heard the story which bis cousin, pretty Mrs. Ainslie, un¬ folded to him, it seemed almost incred¬ ible, though he knew what a foolish, im¬ petuous girl she was. But her evident distress convinced him that sbe was in earnest.
"Do you really mean to say that Car- ruthers is cad enough to refuse to return the letter?" he exclaimed, in amaze¬ ment.
"I assure you I almost went on my knees to him the other night at the Beres- ford's ball," returned Mrs. Ainslie, ex¬ citedly. "But he only laughed in his sneering way, and said he should keep it as acuiioxity."
'•"Was that after you explained the cir¬ cumstances ?" asked Jack.
"Oh, yes! I made a clean breast of my foolishness. It was humilating, but it was the only thing to do." "What did you say to him ?" "I was perfectly outspoken. I said I had had a quarrel with my husband, who liad insisted on my writing to request him to discontinue his attentions. I fully in¬ tended to do so, but wlien I sat down w^ith the pen iu my hand for tJie purpose I was seized with a foolish impulse to—to vent my ill-humor by a dangerous practi¬ cal joke. I meant no harm and nothing was further from my mind than to send off the letter I wrote."
"I wonder you thought your husband capable of reading a letter addressed to a third person," said Jack, rather sharply. "I'm perfectly sure that if I had been in his jealous mood and had seen an un¬ sealed letter addressed by my wife to an admirer lying about I should have read it," said Mrs. Ainslie, with conviction. "Anyhow, your husband did nothing of the kind," remarked Jack, with a shrug. "No; I discovered afterwards, to my horror, that he simply sealed up the letter aud posted it, thinking it was the letter I had    promised    to   write,"   said   Mrs. Ainslie.
"Then whj on earth didn't you un¬ deceive him when you found out what he had done?" intiuired Jack, a little con- tempUiously.
"Because—because—well, the truth is, I felt ashamed of myself, lie had trusted me and I couldn't bring myself to confess my littleness," said Mrs. Ainsle, vvith embarrassment. "Besides, I thought I should have uo difficulty in getting the letter back from Mr. Carrutheis. I knew i I should meet him the uext eveuing at the Beiesfords."
"I suppose he was disagreeably sur¬ prised at your explanation," said Jack, with al-dugh.
"Well, 1 found myself iua very difiicult position," answered the little Mrs. Ainslie. "He declined to believe me autl —aud pretended to thiuk I really felt to¬ wards him all I had said iu the letter. 1 had to speak.very plainly—in fact, we ijuarreled—aud he almost threatened to make use of the letter."
"The little cad!" exclaimed Jack, vig¬ orously. "Do you recollect what you wrote—was it very compromisiug ?"
"I am afraid so," said Mrs. Ainslie, rising iu great agitation aud unlocking ber writing-desk. "I have endeavored lo recall word for word what I said. I think this is correct."
Jack Harwood took the letter which bis cousin handed him and read as fol¬ lows :
My Dearest Maumaduke.—My hus¬ band litis ordered me to write and forbid you the house. Since he refuses to trust me I will no longer endeavor to stifle my fellings, but will avow myself uow and ever—Your own Amy.
Jack had no occasion to express his dismay and disgust at this wantonly fool¬ ish lucubration, for this expression caused bis cousin to break into a torreut of ex¬ cuses and lamentations, which culminated in a flood of tears.
"There, there—it's uo use crying," he said, good-naturedly. "What is that other paper you have in your hand ?"
"It ia the letter I really iutended to send ; but, of course, it was no use send¬ ing it after the other had gone," returned Mrs. Ainslie.
"May I see it ? Ves.. That letter is straight enough,*' said Jack, after glanc¬ ing through it,
'"I really intended to carry out John's urifiBes," added little Mrs. Ainslie, again !iavln5 re(^»rse to her pocket-handker¬ chief.
."Well, now, why did you send forme i inquired Jack, in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I want your advice and assistance, Jack," returned his cousin, brightening up. "I did not know who else to, aud I iiave always regarded you as a brother. I *m dreadfully afraid Mr. Carruthers has been bragging about the letter."
"Surely not. No mau calling himself a gentleman could behave so snobbishly. What makes you thUik so?" inquired Jack, sternly.
"I hope it is not the case, but Mrs, Richardson hinied to me last nigbt that her husband ,had heard something un¬ pleasant about me and Mr. Carrutheis at his club," said Mrs. Ainslie, plucking, nervously at her dress.
"Wbat I at the Blenheim ?" said Jack
frowniuj, .
"Yes Mr. Carruthers is a member, you know. But, at all events, it is desir¬ able to get the letter back and you know what my husband is, Jack. I really dare DOt tell him anything about the letter, or )x^ would fly At Mr. CarrQtbers *^'
and create a scandal," said Mrs. Ainslie. "Besides, of course, I would prefer to keep tiie matter a secret from him."
"I will try what I can do, Amy, and I need not say I will be careful to avoid a scandal," said Jack Harwood, rising to his feet. "You had better burn the draft of the unhappy letter. It has done enough mischief already. I will keep the other one," he added, putting it in his pocket.
"Oh, Jack, how can I thank you?" ex¬ claimed his cousin, seizing both his hands in hffr impulsive fashion.
"In the first place, I have done nothing at present, and in the next, I am going to give you a parting piece of advice which will probably diminish the warmth of your feelings towards me," said Jack grimly. "I hope tliis scrape you have got into, Amy, will be a les.son to you, and will make you more discreet in your conduct. People have talked about you and Carru¬ thers in a manner which was deuced un¬ pleasant for me,to listen to, I can tell you."
With regard to the task he had under¬ taken, the young man felt considerable doubt how to act for the best. For a sub¬ altern in the Guards Jack Harwood was more than gifted with shrewd, common sen.°e, and business-like capacity. His impulse was to call upon Mr. Marmaduke Carruthers and insist upou his giving up the letter. But Marmaduke Carruthers was one of those men avIio inspire more candid natures with wholesome distrust and a somewhat exaggerated notion of their cleverness. He had a very doubtful reputation, and though entitled to the courtesy title of "honorable," by virtue of his father being a peer, he had the smallest pretensions to that desirable ep- eitliet. Jack Harwood imagined that Marmaduke Carruthers was not the least likelv to part with his cousin's letter simply for the asking. It would have suited Jack's humor to back up his de¬ mand by physical force, but by this means he might only create a scandal without attaining his object. Besides, if his con- sin's suspicions were correct, and Marma¬ duke Carruthers had beeu base enough to boast about the letter, the mischief could not be cured by merely getting it back again.
In order to .satisfy himself npon the latter point, he first turned his steps to¬ wards the Blenheim Club, of vvhich he was also a member. He soon discovered, to his great disgust and indignation, that rumors were afloat which seriously affec¬ ted his cousin's reputation. Her flirta¬ tion with Marmaduke Caruthers had been a subject of comment for some time, tmd latterly it had been whispered that the lady was quite willing to elope with her admirer. So far as Jack could ascertain, Marmaduke Carruthers had dropped hints which had caused this shameful report to get about, and though he had not appar¬ ently irone so far as to show the letter, he made no secret of having received it.
Jack was not a hot tempered man, but it cost him a great effort to control his rage and indignation and to reflect calmly over the situation. He smoked two full- flavored cigars—a very unusual thing for him to do in the midd'e of the day, and a sure sign of mental perturbation—and after an hour's cogitation, he rose from his seat witli an air of desperation.
"It can't be helped. I must dissemble, as they say on the stage," he muttered to himself. "It is develish unpleasant to have to shake hands with a mau one is longing to kick. But I've undertaken the job and I must carry it tiirough for Amy's sake, though it isn't iu my line at all,"
So saying, he seized his hat and started to call upon Marmaduke Carruthers at his chambers which were near at hand.
"What!" exclaimed Jack, with an in¬ voluntary start.
"Well, you know, I was in awkward fix. It turned out that the lady took ou innocent flirtation au grand serieux,''"' aa.\A the Hon. Marmaduke, smiling. I had not bargained for anything more than a Platonic friendship. I had always borne in mind that I was a friend of yours."
"Very honorable of you,'' stiid Jack with a peculiar intonation of his voice which might pass for emotion. "I should never have thought my cousin was capa¬ ble of a grande passion."
The Hon. Marmaduke glanced at Jack, whose expressive face manifested supreme contempt, apparently at his cousin's con¬ duct.
"Of course, you will understadd that I am not boasting, but only defending my¬ self against your suspicions, said the Hon. Marmaduke.Iafterapause. "If you doubt what I say I cau prove my words.''
"How ?" demanded Jack, quickly.
The Hon. Marmoduke hesitated a mo¬ ment and then produced from his pocket a dainty cigarette case, from which he ex¬ tracted a le'tter.
"Read that," he said, throwing it on the table towards Jack, and resuming his meal with rather ostentatious careless¬ ness.
Jack opened the letter with the air of a man who could hardly-believe the evi¬ dence of his eyes and ears. After glanc¬ ing quickly through it he withdrew to one of the windows and read it very de¬ liberately, while the Hon. Marmaduke continued his breakfast with supreme in¬ difference.
"I say, Carruthers! Will you give me this?" said Jack, advancing suddenly with the letter in his hand.
"I don't think you can ask that," re¬ turned the Hon. Marmaduke, rather has¬ tily. "It is the sort of letter which only the lady's husband could claim, and, of course, he knows nothfng about it."
"I shonld have thought you would have destroyed it," said Jack, looking his com¬ panion straight in the face.
"I'm afraid you don't know the world as well as I, my friend," responded the Hon. Marmaduke, coolly, as he replaced the letter in his cigarette case. "I wish Mrs. Anslie no harm, of course, but I must protect myself. VVheii a woman imagines her affections have been slighted she becomes a dangerous enemy. This letter is my safeguard, and so long as it exists—or rather so long as it remains in my possession—she will not attempt to harm me."
•'But you say you would give it up to her husband," suggested Jack.
"So I would, if he should hear of it. In that case, from what I know of Mr. Ainslie, I imagine madam's wings would be clipped," said the Hon. Marmaduke, with a laugh which betrayed his vindic- tiveness.
"Will you authorize me to use my dis¬ cretion about telling my cousin's husband of tliis wretched letter?"
"You can please yourself; but for good¬ ness sake don't imagine I suggest such a couise," said the Hou. Marmaduke, with a gleam of triumph in his eyes.
"Of course not. I cannot sutticiently thank you for this interview," returned Jack, with a faint attempt at heartiness. "Shall you look in at the Blenheim to¬ night in case I want to see you ?"
"As likely as not. At all events you know my address," said the Hon. Mai ma- duke, laughingly.
The same evening Jack Harwood en¬ tered the smoking-room at the Blenheim in company with Mr. Ainslie. Several members were present, including the Hon. Marmaduke, who, as usual, was the center of an admiring circle of youngsters.   The
Marmaduke Carruthers  welcomed   him I appearance of Mr. Ainslie caused some
throat
with the frank appearance of cordiality which he could always assume at a mo¬ ment's notice. In this particular in¬ stance, perhaps, he did no great violence to his feeling.s, for he and Jack were old club acquaintances of many years' stand¬ ing, and the latter had the great recom- medation in the eyes af an impecunious younger son of being the heir to a fine estate.
"Have some breakfast ?" said the Hon, "armaduke,  when-they had exchanged
greetings.
" "No,  thanks,  I  have  just  had  my
lunch," replied Jack, with a forced laugh.
"I will take a cigarette, if you don't mind."
"By all means. Light up!" said the Hon. Marmaduke, resuming his seat at the breakfast table. "I have been up late the last few nights."
"Lost some money, I hear," said Jack, puffing furiously at his cigarette.
•'Well, I'm about square again now," returned the Hon. Marmaduke. "I had luck at the Fhcenix yesterday, so 1 shall swear off for a while. AVhat brings you here?" he added, evidently noting Jack's embarrassment.
"A very unpleasant business, Carru¬ thers," said Jack, uuahle altogether to repress his temper. "I've heard some¬ thing about my cousin, Mrs. Ainslie, which has rather upset me. I kuow I have no right to interfere between you and her ; that is her husband's business. At the same time I should be awfully cut up if anything happened,"
"My dear fellow, you needn't be afraid," said Hon. Marmaduke, reassur¬ ingly. "Nothing will happen I thought matters were going a trifle too far, so I considered my duty to-^to terminate the ac<juaintance."
little stir among the youthful coterie, from which it was evident that some of them, ut all events, had heard of the scandal about that gentleman's wife. Jack nodded to the Hon. Marmaduke, and modestly took a seat in the background; but Mr. Ainslie, who looked very pale and determined, stepped into the center of the circle whicb. was formed in front of the lire, and said, iu a tone of voice which was rtudible in every part of the room:
"Gentlemen, may I beg your attention for one minute ? I am about to take a most unusual course, but, as most of you know, I am one of the oldest members of this club, and you may therefore feel assured that I am acting after careful de¬ liberation."
Every oue in the room started up iu as¬ tonishment, and one might have heard a pin drop the moment afterwards. The Hon. Marmaduke raised his eyebrows and glanced towards Jack, who was severely criticising the end of a cigar which he had just lighted.
"I regret very much having to intrude my private affairs upon you," resumed Mr. Ainslie, "but my object is to put an end to a painful scandal which has been circulated in the club regarding my wife. It is rumored, I believe, that a member of the club, who is now present, has in his possession a letter of a very compro¬ mising nature, written to him by Mrs. Ainslie.
All eyes were immediately turned to¬ wards the Hon. Marmaduke, who seemed not a little disconcerted, and sought to hide his confusion iu a cloud of tobacco smoke.
"Assuming such letter ever to have been written," continued Mr. Ainslie, "I thiuk all of us will agree that the recipi¬ ent waa in honor bound to keep the fact a aecret.   In ihi3 uubafpy instance the
gentleman I refer to has been so wanting in good feeling as to talk freely of.the letter and its contents in this club to several persons."
"Shame!" cried an old gentleman, en¬ ergetically, who probably heard of the affair for the first time, whereas the rest of the company looked at one another significantly.
"I refrain from characterizing such conduct asitdeserves,"saidMrs. Ainslie, scornfully, "but I call upon the gentle¬ man to produce here, before us all, the letter he has been bragging about."
Tlie Hon. Marmaduke shifted uneasily in his chair, and glanced appealingly to Jack, who maintained a stolid expression of countenace. Then he said in a very fine-drawn voice;
"Do you really mean what you say, Mr. Ainslie ?"
"I do," was the firm resoonse.
"Very well. But in my turn, gentle¬ men, I must beg you to bear witness that this disagreeable scene is not of my mak¬ ing. I think I am entitled to ask, after what has passed, that the letter be read," he added, with a sudden access of rage.
"By all means. Ask any of your friends here to read it aloud," said Mr. Ainslie, unhesitatingly.
"Very well. You will regret it, but you will only have yourself to thank," returned the Hon. Marmaduke, who seemed beside himself with anger. "Here! Withers—Rowlands—you read it," he added, throwing the letter across the room with a vicious gesture.
The last named individual unfolded the letter, and, after glancing at it, looked up with an air of surprise at the Uon. Mar¬ maduke.
"Go on. Read!" said the latter between his clenched teeth.
Thus admonished, and further urged by a sign from Mr. Ainslie, Mr. Row¬ lands read, slowly and distinctly, as fol¬ lows:
"Dear Mr. Cakrutiieks ;—I am grieved, to learn that our acquaintance has given rise to gossip among ill-natured per¬ sons and under these circumstances 1 am sure you w ill not be offended if I ask you to diaconiinueyour visits to my house. You will readily understand that it gives me pain to write to you thus, but for ray husband's sake, as well as for my own, I feel I Jiave no alternative. With our uuited kind regards, believe me, yours very truly, Amy Ainslie."
After the reading of the unexpected epistle there ensued a silence more elo¬ quent than words. Tiie Hon. Marma- dulce seemed utterly taken aback, and hurriedly brought forth his cigarette case again. This involuntary movement caused a titter in the room, which devel¬ oped into general laughter wheu the Hon. Marmaduke, having opened and glanced inside it, replaced it in his pocket with an air of bewilderment. Nothing is more galling than ridicule to a m.in of the Hon. Marmaduke's temperament, and the general hilarity caused him to lose his head entirely.
"It's—it's a conspiracy ! That is not the letter I gave you, Rowlands!" he cried, excitedly.
"What the deuce do you mean by that, Carruthers ?" cried Mr. Rowlands, who was a hot-tempered individual. "I will swear this is the lett«r you banded tome, and I have read it word for word."
Several voices were raised in indignant rerification of this .statement, and the Hon. Marmaduke found the feeling of the room so strong agaiust him that he apparently considered it would be useless to attempt to offer further explanation Perhaps, too, he found it impossible to collect his thoughts for he was trembling with rage and vexation. At all events he rose from his seat, and said :
"This matter shall not stop here. I—I will prove that the letter I received was not the one which has been read."
"The subject must, of course, be brought before the committe," said Mr. Ainslie, as the Hon. Marmaduke walked out of the room, with a futile attempt at a dignified bearing. "For my part, gen¬ tlemen." lie added, addressing an entirely sympathetic audience, "1 propose to ten¬ der my resignation, if the committee choose to accept it. My wife's good name being at stake, I could not afford to be delicate at)out the means of vindicating it. This letter which has been so much talked about in the club, has now been produced and read to you, and I think you will agree with me that it effectually disposes of the scandal."
It was rather a singular circumstance that, iu spite of his threat, the Hon. Marmaduke made no attempt to bring his grievance before the committee. He contented himself with asserting that Jack Harwood had, at a private interview substituted another letter for the one Mrs. Ainslie had written to him. But Jack easiljfc disposed of this accusation, which nobody was inclined to believe, by a contemptuous shrug of his shoulder, and populai indignation was so thoroughly roused at the Hon. Marmaduke's conduct that the most plausible explanation could hardly have a-ayed him. The upshot was that he withdrew hia name from the club, there by anticipating the action of the committee, which, at tbe instance of Mr. Ainslie, investigated the affair. No ques¬ tions were asked of that gentleman and his resignation was not accepted.
words, a gentleman. By and by you begin to percieve that he is the superior man. Your remarks have a tame, flat, feeble sound to your own ears. iTour cheeks begin to burn with a sense of your friend's excellence. Your pert little damns sound rough coarse and vulgaras, they are. They begin to drop out of yonr sentences, ai^hamed to remain in the company of good, honest English words, until as you discover that you are carrying on your part of the conversation without swear¬ ing, you feel easier, and your intellectual statue is increased by a foot. Just observe this, my boy, and see if I am not right. But you will rip out some time. Oh,yes, in some way you will. I know some good men—some of the best in the world—who will confound it, and eveu dog-gone it, and in New England even a deacon has been known undera terriblestrain, to con¬ demn it. But, as a rule, myson, don't do it. Don't swear. It isn't any evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom. Any fool can swear. And a great many fool.<? do. I, my son,? Ah, if I could only gather up all the useless, uncalled for, inett'ective swears I have dropped along the pathway of my life, I know I would remove stumbling blocks from many in¬ experienced feet, and my own heart would be lighter by a ton than it is to-day. But if you are going to be a fool just because other men have been, oh! my son—what an awful, what a colossal, what a hope¬ less fool you will be!
