It had connections with whom She was young and pretty, and she spoke English fairly well, though with a foreign accent. But the rel- atives decided that she had no b‘ue blood in her veins—that she was common—that Garret Garthwaile had married beneath him, if indeed he had really married at all. “He was 80 eccentric, so full of odd opii - ions, that it was very likely’—here they paused, shrugged their shoul- ders and looked skyward. “They THE ONLV EXCLUSIVE HARDWARE AND IMPLEMENT HOUSE IN BUTLER.

He had been taken very ill while abroad, with pneumonia, and he believed that this girl—a chambermaid at a rustic hotel—had saved his life. She had fenced him in with screens and blankets from the winds that eareered through the immense old house in Normandy, which was much more suitable to sketch than be itlin. She devoted herself to him those fewdays, when life hung in the balauce, and had jproved her- self sensible, gentle and womanly. Her style of face suited him. It occurred to him that he would like to have a woman like that at his side forever. BUTLER, MISSOURI. Office, Southwest Corner Square, over yon Hart’s Store. Lawyers. V «0.

A year or two of ease whitened her hands and softened her rusticity. He, at least, was never ashamed of her. DAGE & DENTON, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, }Office North Side Square, over A. L.

At night, if he wished her to do so, she sang the curious old ballads of her country to him, or she sat and made lace and embroidery, while he read. Sometimes he read aloud to her.

Toa girl who had worked hard for her bread, all this seemed very gay and wonderful, and she had no peasant lover to regret. Nothing to remember but a baby- hood spent in orphanage and a life of service at an inn. All this went on for five years. Meanwhile, Garret Garthwaite made his will, leaving all he had to his wife, and gave her the document bound up with her marriage certifi- cate and other papers, all neatly placed in a leathern portfolio with a lock and key. “If I die suddenly, as I may,” he said, “place these in the hands of my lawyer, confide them to no one else. My nephew, who has run through one fortune is greedy for another, and if I had neglected mak- ing my will you might have been left penniless.

Though search was made, and every servant in the house helped in it with heart and soul, hoping to save a good mistress from shame and sor- row; the papers were not found; nor could Toinette even prove herself a wife, for investigation showed that a great fire had destreyed the church in which she was married, with all its record; that the old priest who performed the ceremony was dead, and no witnesses remained who could attest to the facts. And, in the end, Toinette, broken-hearted and desolate, left the house to which her husband had brought her, with her babe in her arms, very little money in her possession, and noth- ing before her but to return to ser- yice ina strange land after having spent years in ease and luxury. Mr. Garthwaite’s nephew, Oswald Garthwaite, took possession of the house as soon as decency permitted. To tell the truth, he did not believe the story Toinette told. Her social position made it, in his eye, unlikely that his uncle should have married her. He sincerely believed himself to have a legal right to the property and he had no pity for Toinette and her child, and never dreamed of ma- king their lot less hard. Now that he was master, he re- solved to furnish the house afresh, and, as a preparatory proceeding, he decided to sell what he termed the old rubbish. The associations which endeared many of the articles to his junele did not exist for him. 1 He could find no fault with the | drawing or diuing-rooms, but in the lupper rooms he discovered many j objects at which he simply laughed. { j | General Passenger and Ticket Ag’t, | die,” she said, and hid the portfolio | A dealer in second-hand goods was ST LOUIS, MO. sent for, and shortly a great van the property, unless she could pro-; | ing and fluting, she sought work in a laundry.

She went in and priced it. It was beyond her means, but as she examined it she made sure that it was her very own, and her now the longing grew so great to have it that she could think of neth- ing else; and one day she opened her heart to Mrs. Flaherty. That lady sat at her ease in her back room, therub-a dub dub of the washboards, the smell ef boiling soap and scorch- ed holders, and the chatter of the laundresses over for the day. “My own dear chiffonier!” she said. “Oh, I am not mistaken. They have sold it. If I could only have it again!” Flaherty had had just enough beer to be amiable. “Ye shall, darlint,” said she. “Bid- dy Flaherty says it. Ill make the bargain wid the thafein the wurruld that would chate you out of your eyes, if you would be sellin’ them, and buy it up, and you shall pay me a dollar a week until all is even.” And though in the morning she felt as though she had spoken in haste, she kept her word.

London, O., Jan. 29.—A ternble shooting affray occurred about one mile south of the city on the Mt Sterling pike last night. Kinney Graham, a farmer living in that neighborhood, being slightly intoxi- cated, knocked at the front door of the farm house of William Wood- house, aged 60, a highly respected and well to do farmer, and demand- ed his appearance. The son came to the door, but he still insisted on seeing Mr. Wood- house. The old man finally re- sporded, attired in his night clothes when Graham pulled his revolver and fired four shots, two of which took effect and he fell to the floor. Mrs. Woodhouse, an estimable old lady, rushed to the scene and the intoxicated man discharged the fith ball at her, which took effect in the right thigh. An old grudge had existed between the parties for some time.
