 "Absolutely," Calton thought for moment, to consider his next move, "Do you know that Whyte carried valu- able papers about with hfms" Fitzgerald hesitated and turned pale. "No did not know" he said reluctantly The lawyer made master stroke. "Then why did you take them from himq'

 Calton, alarmed, summoned the jailer, and between them they placed him on the bed, and dashed some cold water over his ! face He recovered, and moaned feeblY, while Calton, seeing that he was unfit to be spoken to, left the prison.

She turned round with an ashen face, but with proud look in her clear eyes.
 "You are wrong," she answered, with a touch of scorn in her voice "I love him more now than I did before" Then, before her father could stop her, she placed her arms round her lovers neck, and kissed him wildly on the cheek.
 "My darling," she said, with the tears streaming down her white cheeks, "what- eyer the world may say, you are always dearest of all to me"
 Brian kissed her passionately, and then moved away, while Madge fell down at her fathers feet in dead faint

CHAPTER XI.

COUNSEL FOR THE PRISONER.
 Brian Fitzgerald was arrested 8 few min uteS past o'clock, and by 5 all Melbourne was ringing with the news that the perpe- trator of the now famous hanson cab mur- der had been caught The evening papers were full of the affair, and The Herald went through several editions, the demand being far in the excess of the supply. Such a crime had not been committed in Melbourne since the Greer shooting case in the opera house, and the mystery which surrounded it made it even more sensational. The committal of the crime in such an extraordinary place as 8 hanson cab had been startling enough, but the discovery that the assassin was one of the most fashionable young men in Mel bourne was still more so. Brian Fitzgerald being well known in society as & wealthy squatter, and the future husband of one of the richest and prettiest girls in Victoria, it was no wonder that his arrest caused quite sensation. The Herald, which was fortu- nate enough to obtain the earliest informa- tion about the arrest, made the best use of it, and published flaming article in most sen- sational type, somewhat after this fashion:
 RANSOM CAB TRAGEDY.
 ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER.
 Startling Revelations tn High Life. . Ae is nSeulesS Co say Inat Souo oA ene Te- porters had painted the lily pretty freely, but l the public believed everything that came out in the papers to be gospel truth.
 MT. Frettlby, the day after Brian's arrest, had long conversation with his daughter, and wanted her to go up to Yabba Yallock Station until the public excitement had some what subsided But this Madge fatly refused to do.
 "I'm not going to desert him when he most needs me-" she said, resolutely; everybody has turned against him, even before they have heard the facts of the ease He says he is not guilty, and I believe him"
 "Then let him prove his innocence" 1" said

danger she ought to risk anything rather than

danger she ought to risk anything rather than see him hanged.a
 Full of these perplexing thoughts, CaIton went down to St. Kiida to have talk with Madge over the matter, and also to see if she would help him to obtain the information he wanted He had a great respect for Madge, knowing what clever woman she was, and thought that, seeing Brian was so deeply in love with her, if she saw him about the matter he might be induced to confess every thing.
 The lawyer found Madge waiting anxiously to see him, and when he entered she sprang forward with cry of delight
 "Oh, where have you been all this timeF' she said, anxiously, as they sat down. 1T have been counting every moment since saw you last. How is he-my poor darling?n
 "Just the same," answered Calton, taking off his gloves, ''still obstinately refusing to save his own life. Where's your fatherg' he asked, suddenly.
 "Out of town,n she answered, impatiently "He will not be back for week-but what do you mean that he won't save his own hfeg'
 Calton leaned forward, and took her hand.
 "Do you want to save his ifeq' he asked.
 "Save his hfea" she reiterated, starting up out of her chair with a cry; "God knows, I would die to save him."
 "Pish," murmured Calton to himself, as he looked at her glowing face and out stretched hands, 'these women are always in extremes. The fact is,n he said aloud, "Fitz- gerald is able to prove an alibi, and he re- fuses to do so."
 "But why2"
 Cation shrugged his shoulders.
 "That is best known to himself-some Quixotic idea of honor, I fancy. Now, he refuses to tell me where he was on that night; perhaps he won't refuse to tell you-so you must come up and see him with me, and per haps he will recover his senses, and confess. "
 'But my father" she faltered.
 Did you not say he was out of towna' asked Calton
 "Yes," hesitated Madge. "But he told me not to go."
 ''1n that case," said Calton, rising and talk ing up his hat and gloves, 'I won't ask you. n
 She laid her hand on his arm
 ''Stopl will it do any good9"

The Mlnstrels at McDonelds.

1t is refreshing to see Il negro min
strel show, composed of real negroes
and real MINISTRIES. McCabe and
Young's troupe gave performance
last night that filled the bill COM
pletely. They were not imitation
darkies and their fun not strained,
Neither, strange as it may seem,
were they poor musicians or bung-
ling performers. The show was a
clever one from beginning to end
no chestnuts, no humbug, but bright
and crisp, and enjoyable throughout.
At the risk Of shocking the conserva-
tive opinion of Montgomery we
make bold to say that McCabe and
Young's Ministries are, in everything
that goes to constitute negro min
strels, as far above Geo. Wilson'S
Ministries as the neon is above our
woodshcd.-- Montgomery, Ala, Sun
day Dispatch.

The ohrysanthemurn show.

The arrangement Of the plants is
about complete and the chrysanthe-
mum display at Evergreen Lodge
was opened yesterday and several
hundred people visited this gorgeous
exhibition of the now all popular
Queen of Autumn. 1t is the first
time the inhabitants of this city ever
had so magnificent a display, pre-
scented to them and we are pleased to
say our citizens are taking lively
interest in it and feel justly proud of
the enterprise of our home flower gar
den.
There are upwards of $50 different
varieties included in the 1900 plants,
embracing every hue of the rainbow
and dozens of hues unknown there,
in size they range from the size of a
quarter to nearly that Of a dinner
plate. The pretty little pompone
that brings us back to the days of our
grandmother's gardens occupies
a less prominent position on
the side bench, the beautiful Chinese
class still finds numbers of admirers,
both in the incurved and the refieXed
varieties. The large and ragged
japanese with their most brilliant
coloring and odd and wonderful for
nation seems to at present have won
all admirers from the other sorts and
we think most deservedly so. In
fact there is not an ugly one in the
house, in all it presents a scene of a
complete iairyIand, small f0Un-
tain plays OH the far end of the build
ing and the water splashes in a lake
OF crystal, over which is a bridge and
a rustic seat that is never vacant at
any time through the day, far from
this point magnificent display is
to be had of the entire exhibition.

senger at GAINESVILLE at daylight this
morning that is an object of charity.

She is alone, penniless, sick, and
to-day has only temporary shelter.
Mrs. Winter needs, and should have
help. She says she wants a home
and willing to work if employment
is given her.

Attention Ladies !

We hope the citizens generally,
will feel sufficient interest in the pro-
posed excursion of President Rust
and his pupils Of Bethel Female Col
lege, to insist on the railroad officials
doing all they can to have him make
up the excursion. There is no man
in Kentucky or Tennessee who has
more reputation as an educator and
none for whom the older GAINESVILLE
families, have more atfectionate
feeling, and it will be an act Of kind
ly hospitality that will be appreci-
ated, not only by President Rust but
by the parents Of every pupil at
Bethel college, If the citizens gener-
ally will act together and give these
Kentucky ladies "RoyaI Tennessee
Welcome" President Rust inquiries
if the street ears will give his pupils
an opportunity Of viewing the city
pleasantly? Why could not the
ladies who have carriages Of
fer them to the eXcur5ionists
when they arrive in the city, and
offer such other attentions? Let the
ladies take this matter in hand and it
will be well done. These young
ladies are the daughters of those who
are doing business with our bankers,
warchousemen and merchants almost
daily,

A long report from the Committee
on Streets regarding the North First
street Improvement was read; and on
motion all parties owning or holding
ground over the regulation line be
required to open up, was adopted.
The report of the Fire Committee
was received and approved.
The water company was instructed
to lay its mains along Marion st Get
and to place two fire plugs along that
street. The line of Front street was
ordered to be properly located by the
city engineers from the Grange
Warehouse to the Southern limits of
the city.
The rest Of the meeting was de-
voted to street and sidewalk inn
provements during which there was
much twisting and pulling, but be-
fore the end came, great deal was
accomplished
Now, it appears that all the city
authorities have to do, is to go ahead
with hop, skip and jump, and make
the city of GAINESVILLE go right
along.
