The story of how Jeannette Bourne
caine to her own is a series of strange
incidents. Yet incidents comprise but
balf the story, for without the work
ings of nature's inexorable laws they
would not have occurred.' . '.' ; :..
Jeannette was an orphan: Her fa
ther had died in the war between the
states, and her mother had soon after
gone to her long home. At fhe time of
her mother's death Jeannette was but
a year old. There was no near relative
to take her, and before she was five
years old she had had several homes.
When she was at an age to make in
quiries as to her past there was no
one who knew much about it. A little
money had been left for her, which
was expended on an education. Then
she began teaching.
Jeannette felt the loneliness of her po
sition. When she was a schoolgirl and
saw other girls going at vacation time
or the end of a term to their homes
she would be heartbroken. And when
she became a teacher she would regret
that there were such intervals of work
as vacations. When she was twenty
two years- old, having saved some
money, she resolved to pass the sum
mer vacation in a trip abroad. Joining
a party, she went for a short trip to
the continent of Europe, reaching Eng
land late in August. '
While Jeannette was sightseeing in
London she went to a loan collection of
old portraits. One portrait especially
attracted her attention, it was that
of a young British officer in the uni
.orm of the latter part of the eighteenth
century. As she stood before this"pic
ture a very singular sensation took
possession of her. It was something
wistful, akin to that love which exists
between parents and children, broth
ers and sisters. Several times she
went back to look at the face, which
seemed, to beam- kindly upon her
through its blue English eyes. The
last time she returned to it a lady also
looking at it said to her:
"What a strong resemblance you
bear to the portrait. Had the officer
not lived a hundred years ago I should
suppose him to be your brother."
"I don't even know who he was," re
plied Jeannette, ' secretly pleased that
a resemblance should have been re
marked. The lady had a catalogue in
her hand and turned to the number
fixed to the portrait.
"No. 72," she read, "Captain Hugh C.
Bourne, Royal artillery; killed in Amer
ica at the battle of Monmouth'
Jeannette looked at the lady with
many emotions.
"Why, my name is Bourne," she said.
"Indeed.'." ' .
"Yes, and I am from America.' ;
"Well, then," said the lady confident
ly, "I am sure you are one ; of his
grandchildren."
Jeannette was advised to apply for
information concerning the portrait to
the managers of the exhibition. She
did so and learned that it had been
lent ' by Alonzo Warrick-Bourne, the
owner of a country estate not far from
London, where he spent most of his
time. The next day she appeared at
the manor house on the property and
inquired for the owner. She expected
to find a middle aged or elderly man
and was surprised to find one about
her own age. She told him her story.
He sat listening to it with marked at
tention. When she had finished he
sat for some time mute, then said:
"I've always believed that I was
holding property that did not right
fully belong to me, and I am now of
the opinion that your having seen Cap
tain Bourne's portrait will open up a
case that will sooner or later take it
away from me." ,:.
"That is not. my object," said the girl.
"All my life I have been lonely. I
wish only to find some of my own
flesh and blood." ,
. "There are old papers," the young
man continued, "which hint at a se
cret marriage on the part of Hugh
Bourne while in America with a lady
named Hildreth." r
"My father's name was Hugh Hil
dreth," said Jeannette. surprised.' "And
that was his father's name too." '
"In that case," said the young man,
rith a touch of mournfulness In his
tone, "there was such a marriage, and
Hugh Bourne's descendants . are the
rightful owners to this property. At
the time of his death America was a
far country and little was known here
of his life there. Not supposing him
to have been married and he having
no brothers or sisters, his property
passed to the nearest of kin. a cousin,
my great-grandmother, Elizabeth War
rick. Her son, my grandfather, took
the name of Bourne in addition to his
own. That same has come down to
me with the property. You have only
to bringjiroofs of Hugh Bourne's mar
riage and that you are his heir and I
will turn over to you the property."
"I shall do nothing of the kind."
"I think it probable," said the young
man, "that I shall go to America . and
satisfy myself whether or: no I am
holding some one else's property. , If
so, I shall surrender it"
And such was his decision. The
same ship that carried Jeannette back
to her duties took her relative. There
he found in the records of one of the
smaller cities of New Jersey entered
while Gfeneral Howe was commanding
the British forces In that region a rec
ord of the marriage of Hugh Bourne
and Jeannette Etfldreth. Why after
her husband fell ,at Monmouth the
wife failed to claim what was hers la
doubtless a lost story.
But a compromise was enTected as to
the property' by a wedding between
the Englishman and the American.
