FORT GAINES, FRIDAY’, JANUARY 25th, 1889.
Only A Gardener.
BY MARY KYLB D1U.AS.
Madam Bbow.v, as all the neigh
xirhood called her, sat in her own room
doing some intricate old-fashioned em
iroidrey for which she was famous, when
icr maid crept into the room with an
air of mystery that was quite theatri
cal.
She shut the door, placed her back
against it, peeped out of the window an d
approached her mistress with her finger
on her lips, while the old lady regarded
ier with mingled astonishment and ter¬
ror, and let her work drop from her hands
to the floor.
“What is the matter, Kathrina ?” she
gasped. “Have you taken leave of your
senses, or are there burglars in the
louse ?”
i |“ Worse than burglars, mum,” replied
vatlirina. “It’s awful, but I’d rather
you'd see for yourself. I don't wan’t to
be a tale bearer, but there is something
going on that you ought to know.”
“Something going on in this house
that I ought to know ?” cried the old la¬
dy. “Is the cook turning out dishonest
after all of these years ? Is the-”
“It ain’t iu the kitchen, mum,” said
KuthrinA, “it relates to Miss Fenella;
and you can see and hear all you want to
if you’ll just go down the little back
stairs to the conservatory —softly, mum,
if you pleae— then nobody can say that I
interfered with the doings of my bet¬
ters.”
Old Madam Frown was still light on
icr feet, and at these words she sprung
to them. Her tiny silk slippers favored
ier, making not the Highest noise upon
velvet caipct of the stairs. She was in
the conservatory in two minutes. The
great pafmottoes in their tubs just at the
entrance completely concealed her from
those within, while sho could see them
plainly.
There were two persons standing there
amoug tho roses. One, a beautiful young
lady in a dress of softest blue, which well
became her face, complexion and blende
hair. The other, a tall, well built young
man iu a gardener's jacket.
Sho leaned against a flower stand nnd
looked up into his face, and as Madam
Brown Watched them, he bent and kissed
her.
“Only bo true to me,” said ho, “and
I will win fortune for your sake. Yon
shall nover have reason to regret that
you gave me your love. But. my dar
ling, this seems too good to bo true.
Can it be that I hat# won your heart ?
I have crushed the secret in my bosom
so long—I liavo thought my love so
UojH>iess—tell me once more that you re¬
turn it.”
Before the girl could answer, Madam
Browu glided from behind tho pulmet
toes aud stood between them.
“Not a word, Fenella,” alio said. “Go
to your room.”
“Dear grandmamma," cried the girl,
“don’t be angry. Yon were young your
—■ You loved, you married—
pity mo.
“When I loved it was a gentleman.
When I married it was a man of my own
class,” said Madam Brown. “I never
dreamed of conversing w ith the servants,
of addressing them save to give my or¬
ders. As for you, Grant, consider your¬
self dismissed, and without character.”
“Madam Brown,” replied Alexander
Grant, “I am your gardener and a flor¬
ist, as I hope to be. It is not aristro
cmtic to work for your daily bread, ant
if tho service makes me a servant, cal
me that; but you will remember tbat I
do not come from low and debased peo¬
ple. My mother’s father is still a mnus
ter in her nation’s laud—we are all edu¬
cated. I have taken pains to improve
myself, and I have not asked Fenella to
marry me until I can offer a home where
she can have all the comforts and some
of the luxuries of life. Grandfather has
written that he will set me up in busi¬
ness, and bad rather do it than leave me
the same sum fa fcia will. Rs not <£g if

“Oh cwndma ” cried Fenella- about’ “after
all, what does it matter moneT ml
and and position lKisition ? . I A love love him him. he Be loves loves me,
I am qnite con en to s are lus lot, and
you would like him, gmndrna, dear, if
you knew him better.”
“This is actually dLsgraceful!” cried
the old lady. “You wiil remember that
you mustnerer see him again.”
“No, grandma,” said FencUa, “I shall
remember nothing of the sort. I hare
promised to marrT him. I respect you
and love you, but if you say I must nev
er meet the mau I am engaged to again,
I tell you plainly I shah disobey you.”
“And then come to me to forgiveyon”
cried the oia lady, “Fenella, I shall al
ter my will to-morrow, and if you max
rj this young man, it will be witho ut
dowry or any expectations. That will
end the matter I rather guess,” contin¬
ued she. “Your plan is to step into a
soft nest—people of your class are all
alike—all.” She swept Fenellatip-stairs
before her as she spoke, and the young
gardener went away to prepare for his
departure.
Kathrina, the maid, chuckled with de¬
light as she heard the old lady scolding
and the young one weeping—she had
bad her revenge for the gardener’s in¬
difference to her own charms.
The next who took his place might be
less hard to please.
“And ao much,” said Kathrina, “de¬
on the men in a place. I’ve set¬
this one for good.”
Poor Fenella led a very unhappy life
several weeks. She was an absolute
in her own homo, and finally,
Brown, weary of such close es¬
decided to take a long thought
trip to Europe, to spend several years
and if possible to find a titled
for Fenella.
“The girl will sc4 more of the world
slio has yet done,” she thought.
will meet men of elegant manners,
will lagh at herself for fancying a
Scotch gardener. The man is
looking in his way, of course, and
is what has done it. But sho’U for¬
him; she is young. Girl-love amounts
very little.”
Tne old lady took the view that most
people take of young heartland
of youthful lovers; but it is au
false one. The mnri who awak¬
a girl’s tenderness is the only one
ever truly loves. The girl who first
a man’s piission is the one whose
he utters when he dies.
Madum Brown might put the ocean
Fenella and her bethrothod. but
“many waters cannot quench love, nor
seas drown it.”
Tho old lady had mado sea voyages
oefore. She completed all the prepara¬
tions withont FeneUa’s aid, but before
she left the country it wnc necessary to
arrange her money matters. In order
to do this she must spend some hours at
bankers, and leavo Fenella at home
alone, since she refused to go the city.
The girl had never wavered in her de¬
claration that she would bo true to he*
bethrotlied lover, and it occurred to
Madam Brown that she might avail her¬
self of her absence to run away with him;
such things had happened before. There
fore, before sho took her departure she
informed the girl that she should lock
her into the garret.
The garret of tho Brown mansion was
a big room covering the whole of the
spacious house. It was the receptacle
of all tho ancient furniture that had been
set aside from use for generations. Old
dresses hung there, old coats and hats,
old saddles, whips that had lost their
lashes, an old harp, on which some van¬
ished musician had been wont to play,
un old easel, pallet, and lay figure that
had furnished forth the studio of some
departed Brow n of an artistic turn o
mind. A little of everything in fact.
Naturally the un ventilated place
somewhat dusty and very stuffy, and
escape from its windows was impossible.
It bad one door, w hich was locket
with a patent key, and could be
ed with no other.
“There is an hour in which to
your mind, Fenella,” said the old lady.
“You can dress and come to town
me, or stay in the garret until I return.
“Well, grandma, I prefer the garrett,”
said Fenella.
“You’ll lie locked in, remomber,” said
the old lady.
“I have done nothing to deserve such
treatment,” sobbed Fenella. “No mat¬
ter, I'll go upstairs at once. ”
“Po so,” said the old lady. “Kathri¬
na shall take up a tray of lunch and the
last new’ books. This is all foryourown
goed, child.”
Fenella said nothing, but walked out
of the room. All the servants had been
already dismissed, and the house was
locked up like a jail. Still the old lady
listened until she heard Fenella ascend

Certainly Kathrina’s deduction was a
oue. A taper usually does no
though it is left in its little can
but m this case the taper be
m an erratic manner. It w« tall
soft; the weather was warm. As it j
it curved gradually over the edge
the bronze holder until the flame was
near a packet of note paper. The
I *i*r began to BCorch, yew brown,
shriveled, and at last blazed up. The
flames, oncejstarted, skipped about the
table merrily, devoured its contents,
then caught upon a fold of the lace win¬
dow curtains, and so up and on until the
whole room was a seething furnace.
Madam Browu completed her busi¬
ness as soon as possible, and hastened
back to her mansion.
She felt she had taken a very high
hand in the matter, and she wished to
her grand-daughter before she
off npoh her journey. She had
brought her some beautiful presents, and
was disposed to yield to her iu every¬
else if she would but give up her
fancy for young Grant.
Even a brief absence will soften the
leart toward those we love, and the old
lady was iu a mild er^mood than usual to
ier.
As they drove up the path the maid
out and pointed to the house.
“How queer the windows look,” said
“the house is lighed^up, ma’am
“Its on fire !” roared tho driver. He
his horses where they wero aud
ed them back into the road and fasten¬
them in the shadows of some great
,rees. Meanwhile, Madam Brown and
ier maid rushed up the path and opened
door.
'The thick walls of the stone house had
in the flames, which slowly devour¬
all the woodwork aud plaster and the
contents of the mansion as though
wero fuel cast into a furnace. It
lad just reached to the roof when the
opened, and the admission of air
nit the finishing touch to the work of
Kathrina dragged the old lady back to
safe place upon the lawn, whero she
’ell fainting into her arm.
“Lucky you were all out,” said the
“Oh dear ! oh dear I Wo were not all
sobbed the maid. “Miss Fenella
locked up in the garret to kcep her
seein’ her beau. ”
“God help her !” cried tho man.
Nows of the fire spread. All aid that
could be given in a country plaoo was
offered, but nothing availed. At even¬
tide the mansion stood a ruin in the
midst of its great park, and Madam
Brown was sheltered by a hospitable
neighbor.
She lay upon a couch moaning bitter¬
ly, saying that she had killed her * dar
ling, vowing that if she were alive she
could marry whom she pleased, and
praying that death would end her own
misery, when a sound of whispering in
the hall without struck upon her ear,
and she heard a voice say:
“No, I don’t believe that happiness
ever kills. Where is poor randmu? ’
“Fenella,” she screamed.
And in a moment more the girl came
bounding into the room.
“Poor grandma!” she criod. “How
horrified you must have been. I would
not have permitted you to suffer an in¬
stant’s terror; but i only knew of
fire this moment; you se® I am
safe.”
“Safe!” the old lady exclaimed. “Oh
I’m surely the out of my mind. I locket
you into garret; I saw you
there was no escape. This is--”
“No, grandma,” said Fenella. “If
had been in tbe garret, I should not
alive now, that is certain; but I dislikec
the idea, and what trunk, you saw in the
sitting on the was the old lay
ure dressed in some of mv elothes.
my part, I walked away as soon as
were gone, and, you 11 forgive

For all answer, old lady
her to her heart, and you may be
that Aleck was alto forgiven, for

Bill Nyc Interviews Hill.
Bill Nyo and James Whitcomb

pay their rcspocts to Gov. Hill.
“Mr. Nye, 1 am afraid I I would
