THE DAILY HVtfiNlNG TKLE0KAPL1 PHILADELPHIA, MONDA. MARCH 20, 1SY1. MY LODGER'S WIFE. The alarm from Fenian outbreaks Is too recent to require any description here, even if I were capable of writing one; but as a plain widow woman which I am I have no pretention to write bialory. I only know that down at Weymonth, as well as every, mbere else, we were always being sUrtled by some fresh report of what the Fenians had done, or were going to do, generally the latter. This was common to all plaoes; but we had upecial interest in them at Weymouth, be cause most of the men, when convicted, were ent to Portland, and we sometimes caught a eight of them on the platform of our sUUon, when they were changed to the little branch line. I suppose altnovt everybody who reads these words knows thU Portland Island is only two or three miles from our town, and that there are nearly two thousand conviots there. They have built the breakwater, and made a regular castle on the island, and so have done a great deal of work there, if they never did any before they came. Now and then one escapes, but he is nearly always retaken directly, or gets drowned in trying to swim off to some boat. My hus band, who was a master-fisherman, saw ono drowned. Although he was a convict my husband triod to save him, but he went down like a stone, not twenty yards from his skid. My husband was very much npset by it, for instead of being a forbidding-looking rulIUn, like Bill Sik.es in "Oliver Twist," be was a mild-looking, fair-haired young fellow, who didn't seem above one or two and twenty. However, my poor husband was drowned himself not very long after this; and I have lived ever since on a very little inoeme he left me, and by letting furnished apartments in the season. In the winter, Weymouth is very doll, and I, living alone, would almost have been glad to accommodate any one for nothing, in order to have company in the house; so I was very pleased to have aohance of letting my flrst-fl r rooms to a very respectable young rain who wanted thorn at a reduced rate. 1 had been, with many others, to the station, to see a batch of Fenians change for Portland, but we were obliged to come back unsatisfied, be cause the railway companies would not allow any strangers in; this was the more annoying, as we all wanted to see a Colonel La Traulle, . a Fenian from New Orleans, who had fought desperately when taken, and he had been ter ribly hurt about the head and rendered sense less before he would surrender. As it hap pened, we were not able to see him; so we all went back as we came. I had been at home about ten minutes, and was warming my cocoa for my supper, when I heard a knock at the street door, and on opening it I saw a very good-looking young fellow very slight, very dark, with a blaok mustache, and altogether a foreign air. He spoke English, however, and said he had been advised to apply to me for cheap apart ments; that he was not very rich; he had come to Weymeuth believing he should have an appointment in one of the hotels he looked as if he would have made a capital waiter but was disappointed for the present. He wished to remain in the town, to be in readiness, and so had applied to me. I was glad be had done so, and offered him my rooms cheap. He agreed to take them, and sent for bis boxes from the station- at once. He had a great deal of luggage more than most young men possess. I never had a quieter, gentler lodger in my life than he was; no trouble, no noise, never out of an evening by any chance; and his manner was always so soft and quiet, that, as I nsed to tell him, it was more like having a girl in the house than a man. He would laugh at this, and say the same thing had often been remarked before. At first he aeemed to make no inquiries after any situa tion, or to visit his friends at all; but after he had been with me about a fortnight he went out nearly every day, and all day long. I was glad to see that he did so, for really he mewed himself np in his room so constantly that I began to fear he would injure his health. "What puzzled me not a little was the find ing that be spent a great part of his time on the island not that Portland is really an island, only everybody calls it so. Ia the winter time there cannot be a more dreary place in the world than Portland; the storms seem to rage there oftener and fiercer than they do anywhere else; the roads are bad, the houses are small and mean, and, exoept for the wild, romantio sea view whioh lies all around yon, and the awful Race of Portland, which no vessel can cross, there is nothing to be Been. My niece paid me a visit about this time, and nothing would do but that 1 must go with her over the island; I did so, and, to my surprise, I saw Mr. Lewis for such was my lodger's name leaning gainst one of the huge blocks of stone which lie about the quarries, and gazing so thoughtfully out to sea, that he never no ticed us driving by. Then my niece's hus band came to fetch her home, and as he had never been to Weymouth before, he, too, must see the island, and I must go with him and his wife. So a seoond time I went, and a second time, to my great surprise, I saw Mr. Lewis. To-day he was talking to a tall man in plain clothes, who had just the look of a warder out of his uniform; they were in the middle of the road, so Mr. Le is might have been asking his way; but I was confident, from their eager, hurried manner, that he was not. Yet, when ho recognized me, he raised his cap, and the warder I am sure it was a warder pointed along a path, as though he was giving some direction, and then we lost sight of them, but I did not forget the incident. A few nights after this I was surprised, on answering a knock at the door, to find some one inquiring for Mr. Lewis, for he had never had a visitor before. The stranger gave the came of Brown, and was at once invited up stairs. After a visit of about h alf an hour, he left; and then my lodger, who had seemed, I fancied, to avoid me of late, came into my little kitchen, and began, in the chatty man ner which had made him bo pleasant, to talk about the gentleman who had just left. He aaid he waa connected with one of the chief hotels, and bad called to speak about an ap pointment. Now, I had lived in Weymouth, maid, wife and widow, for thirty-two years, and knew by bight every gentleman connected with every hotel there, and this was none of them. And if my judgment was worth any thing, this man was a warder from Portland, and, what was more, was the very warder I had seen Mr. Lewis speaking with on the island. I was quite sure of this, and knew, therefore, that for some purpose my 1-jdgar was deceiving me; but I reflected that every family has its secrets, so supposed he had his reasons for trying to mislead me. Just now a complete change took 11 place in my lodger's habits, for whereas he had pre viously been the most retiring of creatures, keeping himself bo totally within doors that scarcely a soul in the street knew him, ha sow seemed to be never tired of hanging about the front door. lie cleaned my win dows twice as often as I had erer cleaned them, he painted my shutters, he painto 1 my I flower-boxes and was frequently trimming tho flowers in them, while he actually wuV two or three times to the Waite Lioa, tU public house at the corner of the street, an 1 drank his ale at the bar, instead of alio via 4 the pot man to bring it for him, avhvi hitherto been the case. I took the liberty of saying for I was quite old enough to be ui mother that I hopnl this last would not grow into a habit which might lead to harm, wnea, to my surprise, he burst outcrying, au 1 cried so bitterly that I thought he would go iut j hysterics. I tried to soothe him, aud t k his hand in mine he had a soft and deli cate hand, too; but he rose, and, mtterin himself by a great effort, went up to hi-t room. In the morning he apologized for dis turbing me byhis absurd wayn; he hid In I bad news from home, he said. Of course, I told him not to tlduk any more of S'lub. a trifle; but in my own iuind I wondered where he got the letters from which had so rpset him, as I was quite carUiu the postaian had not been near mv house all day. All this time I had hear! Co more of the situation he expected; but soon after, the same stranpur called Spain Mr. Brown, I mean. He called very late one ninht, and went straight up to Iwi' rooxi, came down in a very short time, and left without a w r l, as before. As I Lad admitted him, I had a fair chance of confirming my opinion; he was a warder, I was sure. He was a tall, big-bearded, lig whihkered and mnstached man, who sto J very pquare when be apyke to yon, as a sol dier does; weather-browned, as all the Port land warders are, and with a certain quick, watchful look of the eye, whieh they all ac quire very soon. The next morning bronght a heavy fall of rain, ith glints of wind from the bos; and on taking np Mr. Lewis' breakfast, I notice 1 that he looked excited, if cot wild, and I feared be had taken cold. I told him so, but he said: "No. The faot is, Mrs. Gerran, I luUht now tell you a little secret; I Mm mar ried, and I expect my wife from town to day." "Indeed 1" I exclaimed, for I had never dreamed of snob a thing. "Yes," be went on, "she is coming this evening, and I am a little worried to think what an unpleaNaut ride she will have." "She certainly will, poor thing," I said; "but I will do my best to make her comforta ble, Mr. Lewis." "I know you will," he replied. "I thank you heartily, Mrs. Uerran. We rely on you very much. I left him his breakfast, and went down stairs, considerably astonished by wht I bad beard. The wtather grew worse during the day, and by night it wan little sbort of a tempest. I often thought of tho poor young woman who was coming all the way from London on such a night; and what made it worse was that I could not offer to go and meet her, for, strange to say, Mr. Lewis did not know by what train she would oome, or whether she woold travel by the Oreat West ern or the Southwestern line. It blew harder and harder; the furious blasts of wind swept through our little street, and drove the rain before it, so as almost to blind yon, if you tried to face it. There was not a gaslight which was not blown out, and I need not say the sky was pitch dirk. On suoh nij'its I always sit and think of my poor husband, and of the many others who earn their living on the dreadful sea; and I can hear nothing, attend to nothing but the howling of the storm. Ho it was no wonder that the pot man knocked two or three timea when he brought Mr. Lewis' beer before I heard him; and when I opened the door it was uluioat blown out of my hand by the force of the wind. "It is a terrible night, Robert," I said, for be was a very civil young man, and had been at the White Lion for years. "It is, indeed, ma'am," he aaid; "there's a sea on to-night that's a-flying over the Ctiesil Bank like yeaat. They've been firing artil lery on the island; but, except now and then in a lull, yon couldn't hear the guns." "Firing!" I said; "firing! What is that for, llobert?" "More convicts is off, ma'am," was his an swer; "and 1 hear there is soma follow of consequenoe among 'em. Poor chap 1 He's sure to be caught such a night as this, if he hasn't tumbled over the faoe of a cliff already." I bade him good-night, and closed the door, still sadder in my mind than I had previously been. It always made me sorrowful when I heard of the poor convicts trying to escape. Whatever their faults may have been, liberty is sweet to all of us. and very few of them ever succeeded in getting away hardly any, although many a one had lost Lis life m try ing. 1 took the beer np to Mr. Lewi' room, and tapping at his door, said, as I generally did, "Here is your beer, Mr. Lewis; and, as usual, the door was opened, and he to k it from me. Instead of having his lamp burn ing, as was his custom, his room was in com plete darkness, so that I could hardly see him, to give him the jug, and in tho gloom he seemed to look stouter and taller than usual. He did not speak. whereas he generally bad a little joke; but now he took the jug in silenoe. I lingered for a moment; but finding that he did u ;t speak, I was going down stairs, when I thouxht of his wife. Mr. Lewis had almost cloned the door, when I said bow anxious I felt about her getting safely in through the storm, when to my amazement be replied, without open ing the door more than a few incbei: "I am much obliged for your kindness, Mrs. Qerran, but iuy wife has been in for this hour past." I was never so astonished in my life. I bad made two or three little preparations to comfort her, and felt hurt that I should not have been informed of her arrival. "Yes," he continued, "she came when the wind was roaring so loudly that you did not hear her knock. I let her in; and as she was tired and wet, I thonght the best thing she could do was to lie down at once." Well, perhaps it was; but I could not help fancying that, for all that, they might have treated me with a little more consideration. However, I could say nothing; and so I went to bed, and as soon as the storm would alio, to sleep. The first thing I heard in the morning from my milkman was that only one of the con victs had tried to escape, and that for the pre sent he was still at large. It waa rumored in the town that it was Colonel La Traulle who bad got away, but the Government people would not say much about it; the whole pUoe was astir, he said. AU day long I heard tue same kind of tidings repeated; and, in faot, I saw enough to convince me that extraordinary exertions were beiog made to capture tne run away. The White Lion was searched by a party of officers, and so was a hou-te in tba same street as my own, where a number of young men lodgers were taken. I heard, too, that the railways were watched not only at our station, but that the trains were ex amined at places twenty or thirty miles out, in case the coBvict should have got in at so ue little (station. It was suppos' d, Lowovor, tU.i', although these precautions were Uk?u, 1' was still in the island, as, from his wearing the prison dress, it would be so diffioult for him to escape notice. I iid not hee Mr. Lewis all day, nor his wife; but just at twilight, I was startled by the latter coming quietly into my little kitchen and asking me for the milk. She was a pretty-looking yonog woman, wearing her hsir iu short cutis; it was fair hair, and she wiis fair tooj quiet and shy in her .manner, speaking in a voice ro low that I could scarcely bear tier. She explained that her husband had, unfortunately, taken a -severe cold, and would be obliged to keep his bed for a day or two. Of course, I offered any assistance in my power. She thanked me, and went up stairs. When she had gone, I could do no thing for the lite of me for many miuntea, but Kit and think of-her; there was an unao countnlile feeling.quite a certainty, it seemed, of Laving koou ber before, although when or where I con Id not say. 80 strong and slrst. s this impression, that it was al- most terriUn to me, and, rs I said, I could tbiiik of nothing else for a long time. How ever, I shoiik Hie fueling off at list, and went about iuy work, seeing no more of my lodjor or bis wife that night. Kobest at tbe White Lioa told m, when he brought the supper beer, that, although it was lnihhed up as much as possible, yet it certainly was the reman who hud escaped, and that it was ono of the most desperate and ingenious escapes ever heard of. "Not, tiin 'am," he said, "us I believe in any of your ingenious escapes. I don't believe in a man doing with a rusty nail, or two prongs of a dinner-folk, or some such thing, in four or five hours, what it would take a couple of Himt Lis all day to do with a basket of tools. It's the warders, ma'am, and they mako these excuses; that 'a what it U, ma'am." This was the opinion of llobert at the White Lion, aud I iiiUst own that I had, on similar occasions, heard many people in Weymouth express themselves to the same effect. Once or twice the next day I saw Mm. Lewis, and each time the impression that I bad previously met her grew stronger; I fancied, however, that my looking straight at her, to try aud remember when it could have been, disturbed her, so I avoided doing so as much us possible, but for the life of me I could not help doing it sometimes. On the foll wii g morning, I had to go out for an hour or t wo, and when I came bfbk, I found my windows cleaned, the mould in the flower boxes tnrned over, and various little things done, which told me that Lewis had been at work again, as, indeed, I found was the case. He had, unfortunately, been taken very un well just before I came home, but previously he had been busy as usual in the front of the bouae. As all attempts to recapture the convict bad failed, and so there was no longer, I sup pose, a hope of keeping it quiet, that night great bills were stuck up about the town, offering jCoOO reward for the apprehension of the Fenian colonel for it was he, after all and one of these bills was stuck up on an empty house jnst opposite to my own door. I naturally got talking about this with Mrs. Lewis; at least I talked, and she listened, for Rhei-sid hardly a word; and at last, when I struck a light to find something she wanted, I found she was crying. I told her I was afraid ahe was weak and low, that her long journey and her husband's illness had npset ber, and asked her to let me make her some port-wine negus the last thing that night, tihe thanked me, hut declined; and when she went away tbe remembranoe of her face, with the tears on ber cheeks, seemed ten times more familiar to me than ever. I determined to ask Mr. Lewis, when I saw him, if his wife bad ever lived in Weymonth, but it seemed as though I never ehonld see him again. However, I did see him that evening. I had been upstairs for some time, and as I was looking over the oontents of an old drawer, I was very quiet, and my lodgers thought I was ont; but presently I came down and met Lewis ascending, carrying a light. I was in the dark. "Good evening, Mr. Lewis," I said; "I hope yon are better." lie looked up and said: "Yes; much bet ter, thank yon." He passed on, and left me almost petrified. It was not the same man. There was the same dark skin, uioustaoue, hair, and whiskers; the same clothes; but this man, although short, was taller than my lodger, decidedly stouter, and had altogether a Larder, sterner expression. There was no possible mistake; bis voice too was wholly dif ferent; and I staggered, rather than walked, into my kitchen, feeling as though I had seen a gbofct. I bad not strength to procure a light, but in a few minutes Mrs. Lewis sent down, as I found, by her husband came in with one. Seeing me sitting, so pale and scared, in my chair, she said: "Are you ill, Mrs. Gerran'f My husband fears you are." As if a flash of lightning had suddenly pene trated all the dark places of my mind, I saw, as ahe spoke, tbe meaning of all that had been myaterions, and by her faoe I s.w that ahe knew her secret was revealed. She was iuy lodger, ahe was the Mrs. Lewis I had known. Altered and changed in every respect as ahe was, I knew ber now. She locked her bands together, and twisted her fingers with a nervous, frightened air, and looked anxiously at me. "Who who are you?" I asked. "Why re you dressed like this? Who is the man' "Oh, Mrs. Gerran!" she cried, throwing herself down at my knees, before I oouli move to bUy ber, "forgive my deceiving you, and still be my friend-be my busbanl's friend. If you are not kind and true to us, we are lost. We have no home but this no fritnd bnt you. It will soon, I trust, be diffe rent; but at this moment my poor husband is a fugitive, an outlaw, a convict, and a price is set upon his head." "A price upon Lis head !" I echoed. "Is be, then " "Yts," ahe aaid, interrupting me, although she as sobbing as if her heart would break "yes, my husband is Colonel La Traulle, the Fenian. We are Americana, and we are only waiting for tbe pursuit to cool, when we ah all croks to France, and can then easily regain our home never more, I trust, to leave it." "lib p, my poor dear girl," I said, lifting her on to a chair; "and believe me that no money would tempt me to betray your hus band; for your sake, at any late, I will be tru4o you both. I hope for your sake, too, that he will leave his dreadful and desperate schemes." "Oh, Mrs. Gerran," she answered, "do not think him a bloodthirsty man; there never breathed a gentler or kinder being. H was sadly deceived in the business which brought bim here; bat pray, come and see bim, that be may know he ia safe under your roof." Of courte, every one can now see bow it waa managed. When be was seat to Port 'land, Lis if came down, dreaed as a man, and, uhile lodging with me, took care to familiarise the neighbors with the fact that I bad a yonng tuau lodger. One of tbe ward era lmd already beu g line over so Hobert at tie "White Lion" was not so far wrong in bis guess and be it was wi'h whom 1 bid seen the supposed Mr. Lewii talking, and wLo came to my house twioe. On his seoond viMt be came to say that all was arranged, and that ber hnabnud wonld get away soon after dark the next night. It was. fortunately for the acbuiie, a very atormy one; so L Traulle got past the station, and followed tLe Chfuil Batik until he thought it safe to Ftriko the line, and thn got over the railway bridge without being reoignizel. He bad a large railway rug over his shoul ders, which bid bis convict dress; and tho only really dongerons part of his journey was tbrongh the streets to reach my house; bnt the dreadful storm cleared away all pas sengers, and he entered our street without having met half a dozen people. His wife was watching from her window, and seeing bim, slipped down and opened the street door without my knowing anything about it. Then they removed the stains from her fane, hands, and neck with washes which she h brought with ber, and be wore a wig, made t resemble her short curls. Poor young thing ! ahe showed me such beautiful locks whioh she had cut off, to enable ber to look more like a mar; they must have been nearly a yard long, I em sure. They thought no place was so safe as Weymouth, and they were right, for the officers were hunting all over London, and Ireland, and Liverpool, and goodness knows where besides. La Traulle showed himself a little, but not too much, and no one ever suspected the change in my lodger's. In about a fortnight ho got quietly on board a fruit-sloop which was going back to France; and both he and his wife wrote to mo when they got there, and also when they arrived at New Orleans. I don't know who the warder was, nor what he reoeived for his services, bnt I heard, shortly after, from Kobert at the White Lion, that one of them had left Port land to go and take a very haudsome public bouse in London; so I had my suspicions. I know that if I wanted money, which I am happy to soy, thanks to my poor dear hus band, I do rot, I should only have to tell Mis. La Traulle, or go to the great house in Liverpool, of which they gave me the card, and I could have all I wanted. She would make me accept her gold watch nnd chiin, and I have worn it, and shall con tinue to do bo, in memory of her. Cuim6ers' Journal.
