"Have pity on me," moaned Jessie Bain, "and show me mercy!" "I will give you ten minutes to decide your future," was Mrs. Varrick's heartless reply. When the ten minutes had elapsed, Mrs. Varrick rose majestically to her feet. "No doubt you have decided ere this what course you intend to pursue," said Mrs. Varrick sternly.
I couldn't help it, I got so tired of hooking young ones' dresses and hearing their prayers." With an assumption of dignity, Hubert Varrick unwound the girl's arms from about his neck. But somehow they had sent a strange thrill through his whole being, just such a thrill as he had experienced during the hour in which he had asked Gerelda to be his wife, and she had answered in the affirmative.
"Not at all," returned Mrs. Varrick, sharply. "If a man does not get the one that is intended for him, he should never marry any one else." "And you think that he was intended for Miss Northrup?" questioned Jessie. "Decidedly; and for no one else." "Then I wonder Heaven did not give her to him," said Jessie. Mrs. Varrick looked at her keenly.
With a great cry, Hubert Varrick caught her. "It is only a momentary dizziness," said Varrick, half leading, half carrying her into the anteroom and up to the window, and throwing open the sash. "Rest here, my darling, while I fetch you a glass of water," he said, as he placed her in a chair and rushed from the room. The event just narrated had happened so suddenly that Mrs.
Pardon me, but may I ask if the event to which you allude, that is to take place to-morrow, is a marriage ceremony?" The minister bowed gravely. "Between young Mr. Varrick and a Miss Bain?" Again the reverend gentleman inclined his head in the affirmative, remarking that the bride-to-be was as sweet and gracious as she was beautiful.
Rosamond Lee's home was in New York City, and it was not until she got on the train bound for the metropolis that she gave full vent to her feelings and railed bitterly against the unkindness of fate in giving a grand man like Hubert Varrick to such a little nobody as that miserable, white-faced Jessie Bain. "I hope she will never be happy with him!" she added, in a burst of bitterness.
He tried to hold her off at arm's-length, but she only clung to him the more, giving him a rapturous kiss of greeting. The story of little Jessie Bain had been the only one which Hubert Varrick had kept from his mother.
Now she realized what that visit to Jessie Bain's room, in the dead of the night, meant. Then there commenced the greatest battle between Good and Evil that ever was fought in a human heart. Should she save her rival, the girl whom Hubert Varrick loved, or by her silence doom her to life-long misery?
I swear to you I did not take your bracelet; I know as little of the theft as an unborn babe!" Mrs. Varrick drew herself up haughtily. "The detective wishes me to give you up to the law, to cast you into prison, but I can not quite make up my mind to do it. Now listen.
"I am going to claim my husband. He is mine, and all the powers on earth can never take him from me!" "I suppose," said Rosamond, "now, from the way this amazing affair has culminated, you will not want me to go with you to Hubert Mr. Varrick, I mean." Gerelda turned haughtily on her. "No," she said. "Why should you wish to go with me to my husband? What interest have you in him?"
