Accordingly, on the next morning, they left Rockhold for New York, where they arrived on the evening of the next day. And on Saturday morning they went on board the steamer Persia, bound for Liverpool. They bade good-by to Regulas Rothsay, on the deck, at the last moment.
Rothsay's story namely, that she was the granddaughter of the famous Iron King, Aaron Rockharrt, lately deceased, and that she was the widow of the late Regulas Rothsay, who so mysteriously disappeared on the evening of his wedding before the day of his expected inauguration as governor of his native State, and who was afterward discovered to have been murdered by the Comanche Indians.
This confidential mission, requiring as much power to take the initiative as it demanded a cool head, gave the Marquis opportunity to execute, with rapidity and decision, several master-strokes, which, in the following circumstances, won for him the cross of the Legion of Honor. The most audacious of the guerrillas who had devastated this fertile country was a chief called Regulas.
A political crisis was at hand the election for the State legislature. The candidate for representative of the liberal party in that election district was Regulas Rothsay. The election day came at length, as anxious a day for Cora Haught as for any one. It was a grand success, a glorious triumph for the printer boy and for the workingmen's cause as well.
"Well, I don't believe Regulas Rothsay would ever have risen to his present position if it had not been for his love of Corona Haught. No more do I believe that Old Rockharrt would ever have allowed his beautiful granddaughter to be engaged to Rothsay if the young man had not been elected governor," observed a stout, florid-faced matron of fifty-five. "How hard he worked for her!
But that a bridegroom should secretly depart on the evening of his wedding day, that a governor should take flight on the evening before his inauguration, was a course of action only to be explained on the ground of insanity; and yet Regulas Rothsay was always considered one of the most level-headed and mentally well balanced among the rising young statesmen of the country.
It was, perhaps, natural very natural that the handsome blonde man should be attracted by the beautiful brunette woman, without thought of the supposed fortune that might have redeemed his mortgaged estates and supported his distinguished title. But why should the betrothed of Regulas Rothsay have been fascinated by this elegant English aristocrat?
As time went on every one began to wonder at the earnestness and constancy of this childish friendship. So the lessons went on through all the spring and summer and early autumn of that year. Before the leaves had fallen Regulas had learned all she could teach him. Then their parting came about naturally, inevitably.
It was Regulas Rothsay who stood here a moment ago." "Rule himself, and no delusion! But, oh! I knew it! I knew it all the time!" she exclaimed, still trembling violently. "My darling Cora, try " "Where did he go? Where?" she cried, staggering to her feet and clinging to her uncle. "Where? Oh, take me to him!"
"Come with us to the carriage door, Rule," said the girl, looking back and stretching her hand out toward the youth. "Yes! Come!" added pleasant Mr. Fabian. Regulas touched his hat and followed. Fabian put his niece in the seat beside her grandmother, and then turned to the youth and inquired: "What are you going to do with yourself to-day?"
