Thomas Nelson Page and His Work.

Whenever l see Thomas Nelson Page of
Virginia on Broadway-he is often in the
city, seem to hear the soft-vowel, negro
dialect tongue, which he has given place
in literature. He is of medium height, of
good figure. and has blush gray eyes that
often seem to go on long excursions of fancy
while one is talking to him. His hair is
sandy colored and his face is adorned with
a small mustache. He hasn't literary
look at all. In dress and manners he would
be easily takan for what he really is-a
Southern gentleman, loving fondly the
memories of the South's past and welded
to the progrsS now in operation in his sec
ton. Sometimes he discards his SLOUGH hat
and appears with high silk tile, without
the frock coat which nearly all Southerners
are partial to. Mr.. Page is successful
lawyer of Richmond, and never neglects q
law case for literature. He can do an
enormous amount of work.
j asked him once how he managed to at
tend to lucrative practice and write SO
many stories. He said he worked at law IN
the anytime and at night literature claimed
his attention. His capacity for work is so
great, he frequently writes until 4 o'clock
in the morning. He doesn't wait for in
SEPARATION, because his normal condition is
one of inspiration, and he can write story
any time he has the leisure. As to his ne
gro dialect, he told me that it was not man
ufactured, but taken from life. Nearly all
the negro characters he has so delightfully."-
depicted were from living models.
Page is charming conversationalist and
success has not turned his head. He is as
unaffected as child and has a nature as
tender as a woman's. T. P. O'Connor, the
Irish patriot and Mr.. Page are bosom
friends, and when the former comes to this
country he always goes to Virginia, and for
weeks these modern emulators of Damon
and Pythias have a round of social pleas
ures together. Page hasn't spark of jeal-
ousy in his composition, and struggling
author always receives his heartiest sym
patty, and if necessary his quiet financial
aid

Edwin Booth May Visit Irving.

Edwin Booth is seriously considering an
invitation from Irving to visit that prince
of good fellows. Mr.. Booth is in very poor
health, no matter what his friends may say
to the contrary. He has long spells of mel
ancholy, and at times he broods over his
troubles so long that he units himself for
eating, sleeping or enjoying the society of
his friends. When in this city often see
him wandering up and down Broadway in
the evening, usually smoking long black
cigar, so strong that it would unnerve even
giant.
Should Mr.. Booth go to London for
visit he will undoubtedly be greatly lion
lied. Mr.. Irving has charming home and
entertains in princely style, and he would
make his fellow actors welcome in the Eng
Esh metropolis as cordial as true-hearted
Englishman could do.

In the meantime Rose had gone through
a most trying ordeal for the sake of love
and patriotism From the moment that
she had realized that Maynard really
meant to sacrifice himself in any and
every way for her, she had determined
at all hazards to escape from Savannah
Her will once fixed on the adventure
nothing could change her resolution.
When she found that Maynard, inhu-
enced by his love for her, had assumed
man, she felt that what he said to her
must be true. and then the terrible con-
viction fastened itself in her mind that
Savannah could never be reduced by the
allied forces, and therefore Prescott
could never come to her This was
enough. All her nature arose in aid of
her determination to make her way
through the lines to her lover, if indeed
he were still alive: if he were dead she
would at least he among those who loved
their country, 80 suffer, and, if need be,
die with them. Would not this be well?
With every moment the secret consid-
Grafton that this was her duty fixed it
self more firmly i'll her heart; and so she
set about preparing for the undertaking,
which to us must appear strangely out
of keeping with her nature and scarcely
justifiable.

CHAPTER VII.

As the days, weeks and months dragged
slowly by it became apparent to both
Mrs. Fenwicke and Rose that their
safety, as well as their comfort, de-
pended almost wholly upon the unflag-
ging and inexplicable interest taken in
them by Maynard. Apace with the
lapse of time his exertions in their be-
half increased, although it was plain
that he used every precaution to try to
keep them from knowing it. He never
mentioned his connection with any of
their affairs, save to make some inquiry
when it became necessary for him to
reach facts that it was of importance
for him to use in their behalf, and then
only in a way that precluded embarrass-
ment.
Neither Rose nor her mother could be
cruel enough to openly question his
honesty of purpose so long as not even
the slightest appearance of questionable
intent was shown in his conduct, and GER
tainly their condition would have be-
come unbearable had he chosen to let it
be SO. Still twas it the wound across
his cheek, or was it some half hidden
expression of his eyes, they suspected
and feared him; indeed, they found
themselves all the time expecting him to
disclose the secret evil he was planning
for them.
Naturally enough they often talked
the matter over, frequently resolving
that they would make an end of it by
telling him kindly and firmly that they
would prefer to be left entirely to them
selves, but. as often when he came, in
his dignifed and calmly courteous way,
to inquire about their health or to re-
port some necessary details touching the
affairs of their estate, it was quite i'm
possible not to treat his kindness with
certain degree Of gentle consideration.
Never once did he in the slightest de-
port himself as if he were entitled to be
treated as friend or even familiar
acquaintance.
So the time passed on from spring to
summer and from summer to autumn.
Early in September the feet of Count
d'Estaing appeared off Tybee island, and
forthwith the British commander at Sa-
vannah made ready for desperate de-
fHnsA Mai. Gen. Provost had not been

justifabl,

On the night of the Sth of October, or
probably after. midnight, which would
make it the 9th in the early morning,
while great calm and stiffness lay upon
the town and over the two armies watch
ing each other as if with bated breath,
Rose Fenwicke, accompanied by trusty
old negro man servant, quietly took
leave of her home and stole away, tread
ing the obscure alleys and streets in the
direction of her fathers plantation, some
miles distant.
1t was a desperate step, but it had
been well considered. Viewed in the
light of the present day it can scarcely
be distinguished from what we call a
wild escapade and for which unstinted
censure would be meted out to the young
girl who should attempt it. But as
things were then, the act was separated
from any mere recklessness or adventure
some bOldness.
| have before me as | write the diary
of Rose Fenwicke, kept at the time and
written in the Cramped hand and stilted

letter which she left on her little table
for her mother, and in which she at
tempted to explain and justify her
course.

SO runs part of the epistle, that you
will not attribute to your daughter what

will you ever cease to trust her word

that you will be quite safe here. The
British commander will protect you and
your estates so that you shall not want

have searched in vain through the
diary, the letter and all the documents
bearing upon the matter to find out why
she spoke of prosecutors. Possibly the
word was used with no directness of APP
plication. She may have been antici-
pating a sort of negative persecution
from Maynard, whose persistent kind
ness must have amounted to something
of the sort, at least to girl of her TEN

been had she remained in Savannah
There may have been, however, other

care to make record, and | am inclined
to believe there were. 1t appears on the
face of it, at least at this distance. SO

terror ana joined the indomlJaOie ntrle
army of scouts and free fighters that
from this on sorely harassed the invaders,
whose foothold in the south was now Sc
curely fixed.
The irony of fate fell upon poor old
Mr.. Fenwicke, whose loyalty to England
was paid for in his assassination. He
owned large store of valuable products,
and his great desire to save it caused
him to venture into the streets with
view of seeking the protection of the
British commander. Not 200 feet from
his own door he was impaled ON the
bayonet of a drunken Highlander and
died without groan. He lay on the
soft sand all night, to be brought in the
next morning a rigid corpse, whose pla-
cid face appealed to Mrs. Fenwicke and
Rose with force that made them one
in their hatred of the British.
Maynard, who enjoyed the confidence
of the British authorities, used his in
fiuence to prevent confscation of the
Fenwicke estate, and to establish kindly
relations between the bereaved house
hold and the officer in command of the
city; but nothing he did could remove
the deep distaste, amounting almost to
hatred, with which Rose regarded him.
To her every act of his appeared to be
based on some sinister motive adroitly
concealed behind an imperturbable ex-
terror of kindness and unselfishness. He
did not obtrude himself; his occasional
visits to the house took the form of mere
friendly calls upon Mrs. Fenwicke to
ask if there was anything he could do
for them.
Rose was aware that she owed her life
to him, thought of itself full of bitter
ness, for what is more humiliating than
to be hopelessly and helplessly indebted
to ones enemy? She could not drive him
away so long as he treated her with such
scrupulous politeness and respect; more
over the shock of bereavement had rem
dered her mother incapable of taking
care of the estate, and Maynard was at
once ready and efficient.
So the winter passed and the delicious
tide of a semi-tropic spring washed over
the ill fated town, bringing with it
wisps of knocking birds, whose delicate
silken wing rustlings were soon followed
by a merry discord of fiuting in all the
orchards and vine EMPOWERED gardens
round about. The winds from the At
lantic brought fragrant sea smell, the
plants leaped into luxuriant leaf and
bloom, and the sky, cloudless for days to-
gether, took on the richness and splendor
of gorgeous dream. By night and by
day long lines and angles of fowls stirred
the higher currents of air and shimmered
and winnowed and drifted from horizon
to horizon, like slowly shifting sketches
on some intensely blue japanese miracle
of background. The days were golden,
with a sunshine which was the very
wine of life, and the nights were cool,
sweet, many perfumed and melodious
with the songs of birds that could not
sleep for happiness.
The American army, for all that could
be heard of it in Savannah, seemed to
have dissolved, and every hope of relief
for the south was dead in the hearts of
the patriots.
