GAWKY GARNETT'S LOVE.
"Iu tlio rnind's eye tliat tlio eye-
rleal ; yes, 'all in my eye' his ideal is.
llo I hoi" .
"Natty, Natty Barton, what are you
laughing at?"
"A spooney document; the usual
thing, you kuow, Uncle James ; a man
who says I'm the ideal of his dreams.
A love-letter, and from tny Gawky
Gamcttl"
Uncle James looked grave. "Na
Ulie," said he, "I wish you weren't
such a flirt."
"liut it's such fun, uncle dear."
''It's a kind of fun you'll pay for
dearly ono of these days, mark my
words. There never was a bitor who
wasn't bitten at last."
"But only thiuk of my dear Gawky,
uncle, and don't scold. lie's as graen
as a country girl's neck-tif Hie foot
looks like a bear's foot, and he wears a
(laming red cravat, and sits with his
paws in bis pockets, and tips his chair
back against the mil. Oh, uncle,
up-aw-w-n my word, it's too pre-pos-terous
!"
"Natty," said Uncle James, "I'd
recommend you to take somebody of
your size. George Gamctt is hardly
worth spending your valuable time on.
A poor lad, with a drunken father, a
vixen for a step-mother, and dirt and
poverty for the inspiring surroundings
of his boyhood. You choose to fool
away some of your precious hours vis
iting the country academy where he is
one of the big boys, struggling fearful
ly to get the 'three r's' through his
skull. Ho sees you, and is quite per
suaded that you're an angel ; he doesn't
know you as well as I do, I'll be bound.
Nat, if that boy's mother had lived,
and he'd had a decent father, and ever
known anything but dirt and beating
in his childhood, I have a sort of im
pression that he wouldn't be the" man
whom you'd bo stubbing to-day. You
ought to be ashamed of yourself."
.
Six years later Natty Barton, twenty-three
years old, a beautiful, bril
liant t, witty young lady, much ad
mired, but still uumarried,and spoiled,
said to Uucle James one day :
"Adorable uncle, let us go to Putin-Bay
this summer,"
To Put-in-Bay they went, then a
new place, thoroughly unfashionable,
and consequently thoroughly enjoya
ble. Natty wore a calico dress all
day long if she wanted to, went to bed
at ten o'clock, and learned to row a
boat equal to Grace Darling.
About the same time a wise, gray
huired, rich old lawyer said to the
f lira, dark-haired, brilliant, and poverty-stricken
young man he had just
taken into his of lice as working part
ner: "We'll go to Tut-in-Bay for a
month. I have a lot of titles to hunt
up out there all over the islands. You
can do the work, and I'll get the
money. Start to-morrow."
"Thank vou, sir. Shall be only too
glad to go,5' answered the young man,
briskly.
At the little hotel at Put-in-Bay
one morning Natalizo Barton looked
up from her breakfast plate, and en
countered a pair of intensely brilliant
black eyes fixed keenly upon her love
ly face. The magnetic power of the
brilliant eyes wasso stiange and strong
that it made Natty look up. But she
looked instantly down into her plate
again, after the fashion of all modest
young ladies.
Rose, au irrepressible of 'twelve
years, nudged her arm.
"Natl Nat! who is that black-eyed
mau looking across this way?"
"Oh, I dou't know!" says Nat, gaz
ii.g intently into her plate. "I don't
see anybody."
"Oh, my 1 what a whop 1 What a
humbug it is to be a young lady I If a
young man looks at her she drops her
eyes right off, and pretends she doesn't
see a living soul, and all the time she's
peeping at him sideways but of her
eyes as hard as she can, and can tell
exactly what he's got on. I wonder
what young ladies do that for? I
wonder if I will do it too when I'm a
young lady?"
A few days later Nat Barton
and half a dozen other young ladies
were sitting in the warm July after
noon on the long, low veranda of what
in those days was the "principal ho
tel" at Put in-Bay. Rose, tho irre
pressible, camo bouncing across the
veranda toward Natty.
"Ou ! oh 1" says tho irrepressible,
"what awful whoppers young ladies
will tell! Nat, what did you tell me,
when I asked you who that black-eyed
man was-that you didn't know? Mr.
Garnett doesn't care fur young- ladies,
but he has made my acquaintance. He
is here on business, he says, aud has
no time to amuse himself. But he
talks to me, though he won't look at a
young lady. Young ladies are all
spoiled, he says. And he says that he
used to know' you needn't pretend
anything, Mies Nat ; Mr. Garnett tells
the truth says that he fell in love
with yon whon he was a boy; and you
laughed at him, and ho wiji never fall
in loVe with a young lady again, be
cause he's old enough to know better
now. He likes little girls, but thinks
young ladies are awfully silly. And
I thick so to. And I think Mr. Gar
nett is just as nice as he can be. Nat,
what made you say you didn't know
him? and don't roa wish you could
make him fall inlofe with you now?"
"No, I don't," said Natty, coloring
angrily. The other J'oung ladies
laughed.
Little Rose watched Natty' pretty
face carefully ; but for all she could
make of it, it might have been the
face of a , gingerbread man. Natty's
mind wasn it as indifferent as her face,
however. She was making a mightv
vow to herself. She new well enough
who the handsome young lawyer was,
and the old flirting demon stirred with
in her breast. She was piqued to think
that he had been at the Bay a full
week, and had never said boo to a young
lady. Her uncle was charmed with
the brilliant young lawyer.
"I told you so, Natty," said he, rub
bing his hands. "That young roan 'II
be Governor of the State one of these
days. I'm nearly as proud of him as
if he was my own sen. Don't you
wish you hadn't snubbed him, Nat
ty?" "No, I don't" said Natty, shutting
her lips with a snap, and looking, vex
ed. But she said to herself, "We'll
see!"
They had a yachting party next
day. Mr. Garnett went on the invita
tion of Uncle Jame. Natty was as
gay as a bird, and as bright. She was
dangerously fascinating. She sang,
laughed, and made witty small-talk
for tho whole company. Any young
roan but George Garnett, athiret with
his wild ambition, planning out a
magnificent future, brooding ever over
his yellow law-books, would have sue
dimmed at once to the wiles of this
girl with gleaming sweet eyes and the
red lips.
"I see you baveu't forgotten how to
flirt, Miss Natalie," he said once to
her gayly.
"I do not flirt," answered Natalie,
with dignity.
Georgo Garnett laughed a low
laugh, pleasant and musical, but which
had a faint sound of a sneer in it.
Matty subsided, and was perfectly
quiet for five minutes.
"I used to know so little of the
pretty ways of young ladie.," said
George, musingly. "A long time ago,
that was, when you used to call me
Gawky Garnstt you remember? I'm
gawky yet," he coutinued. "But now,
when a'young lady smiles sweetly on
roe, and charms mo with ber pretty,
flattering ways, I know better than to
fancy Bhc means anything by it any
thing more than to amuse herself."
"Oh !" says Natty, blushing; "you're
modest."
He sal beside her on the way home,
aud was perfectly polite and enter
taining. Natty acknowledged to her
self that she hud never seen a man
more delightful, or who carried about
him more perfectly the air ot a grand
gentleman. But for all the effect her
bewitching ways had on him, he might
have bueu a stoue. He was the model
of gay indifference Natailie bit her
lips with vexation, when,- after they
had all reached home, aud were rested,
Mr. Garnett asked little Rose to go
out with him for a row on the lake.
"He doesu't care for young ladies,
then not even the prettiest of them,"
said Natty to herself, lookiug at her
self in the glass. "I wonder where
the man picked up such grand ways?
He might be taken for a prince. And
it's clear that he'll never care for me
again."
Somehow Natty felt about half like
crying.
"I think Mr. Garnett is splendid,"
said the girls.
"How Can you say .so?" exclaimed
Natty. "I don't think so at all."
"Get your hat, little girl," said Mr.
Garnett to Rose, oue morning, "and
call your papa, and let us row across
to Middle Bass. I can't stay many
days longer. Let us make the most
of the golden hours left."
Ho drew a little book from his
riockct, as Rose skipped away in de
ign L
"Have you read this yet, Miss Nata
lie ?" he asked.
"No," says Natty.
"Theu I'll leave it to amuse you. I
don't caro fur it much; but its the
sort of book I should imagine a young
lady would like all about love aud
flirting, you know. I've not finished
it yet, I've read just this far iu it "
lie took his pencil and gave a sweep
across some lines a little below the
middle of a page, then handed the
book to Natty, lookiug at her as be
spoke. A sweet, Btfauge look softened
his dark eyes for an instant, it seemed
to Natty; then he was just the same
again cool, polished, iuoMfTurent.
"Tell Miss Row I'll be down wait
ing for her and pupa down at the
shore." II bowed lightly, and went
out.
Natalie glanced mechanically nt the
place where his pencil had swept
across the page. He had marked
these lines :
"O being of beauty an l bliss! Been and
known
In tho depths of my soul, and possessed
there alone 1 -My
days know thee not; and my lips
name thoe never ;
Thy place in my poor life is vacant for
ver.
We have mot j we have pai ted. No more
is record Oft
In my annals on earth."
That night again she'was once more
the bright, merry flirt, the gayest of
the gay,. They had a "hop" at the
little hotel.' .Round and roond spun
the happy dancers, and Natty was the
brightest, sauciest ot them all. Georgo
Garnett was there, but bo did not
danco. He looked silent and melan
choly, seeing which Natty became
wilder than ever, and her little feet
flew round liko mad. At the close of
a waltz she sat down to breathe for' a
moment. Fate led her to sit down
beside a pillar against which George
Garnett leaned, with folded arms, lost
in thought. But he saw her, and
bowed and smiled. Then he held out
a card to her. She took it, read upon
it his name, and beneath the words,
" Pour prendre conge."
She looked up in quick alarm, as if
expecting to find him already gone.
But ho approached as she raised her
eyes.
"Will you walk on the verauda a
little, Miss Natalie?"
She put her hand through his. arm
without a word, aud he led tho way
out to the veranda.
"I am going away in the morning,
Miss Natty. Perhaps I shall not see
you soon again. So " She caught
her breath with a quick sigh, as if
stricken with a sudden pain. George
Garnett reached out and took in his
own the little hand which rested
against arm. "Natty, little Natty,"
he said softly, "will you come with me
for a moonlight sail ? Burrcll is down
there yet with his boats, and he will
take us out. It :s so beautiful to-night,
and I have not troubled you often this
summer, have I ?"
"No," said Natty.
Th'ey went out into the bay, rising
and falling with the moon-lit waves.
Burrell, the boatman, tended his sail,
and George Garnett sat down beside
Natalie.
"Yes, I must go away in the morn
ing ; I have had a letter from home,"
emphasizing tho oue word scornfully.
"My father is on his death-bed. Miss
Barton, you know- who and what my
father is?"
"Yes," said Natty, faintly, "I do,"
with a soft, gentle sound in her voice.
"I have not spoken to my father for
four ycurs," said Garnett. "Perhaps
I did wrong; I don't know. I thought
ho had disgraced me and the memory
of uiy mother so. But I must 'go to
him now, for be is dying. A distant
relative of my father is with him. This
cousin is an old man, and wealthy,
He it is who writes the letter. He
says I am the only relative ha has left
in this country, except his daughter, a
Ctrl of eighteen. 1 have never seen
her, but 1 have heard that she is beau
tiful, and as good as an angel. My
father's cousin writes that if his
daughter and myself should be mu
tually pleased with each other, pleased
enough to to marry each other, that
he will bS very glad to see us so
disposed of, and in that case my for
tune will be made. He is kind enough
to say that he knows of nobody to
whom he wonld more gladly trust his
young daughter's happiness than to
me. So to-morrow I must leave these
pleasant islands, and go to the fair
young cousin whom 1 have never seen
I hope you will find the rest of the
summer deligfftlul, Miss jNataiie.
Natty buried her face iu her hauds.
George Garnett bent over her, and
drew ber bands away irom her face.
.Natty Wf8 crying.
He looked at ber for a moment, and
his own face looked pale in the moon
light. Ha moved away and said a fow
rapid words to the boatman, in a low
tone. Then he came back and sat
down besido Natty ia silence. He
took ono of Natty's hands, and hold it
tight in his own, but said not a word
On. on they sped, througft the moon
lit water. It was rougher now, and
the waves were rolling higher. After
a while Natty looked up. the boat
had changed its direction, aud they
were out of sight of the island, the
bay out of bight f everything, it
seemed to the girl. Sha would have
spruug up, but George Carnett threw
his arm about her, aud held her down
beside hiiu. She fairly screamed with
surprise and half fear.
"Where are we going?" she ex
claimed, wildly.
"To Sandusky," answered George
Garnett, desperately.
Then Natty tried to scream iu earn-
est, but the sound died away on her
lips.
"Yes, to Sandunky," he repeated, iri
a voice which sounded almost savage.
"Girl ! did you think I wai a milksop
or nn idiot, that you could play with
my heart like a child's toy? Can I
put love oh and off again at will, or
shall I let you break my heart and
torture me agaiu as you did six yean
ago? No, by Heaven f you shall not.
What I Natty, little Natty 1 are you
crying again T Oh, my darling! what
did you think I was made of? I could
unt see. your sweet, false face every
day, ant look into your bright eyes,
ear your voice, and not Jove you,
agala. You have tried every sweet, .
wicked wile In your power and you
know it to draw me to you. only that
you might cast me off and laugh at
me again. I love you so desperately
that I could take you in my arms this
moment and leap overboard into the
lake with you. I am running" away
with you, Natalie."
The wind freshened, the lake became
still rougher. Faster and faster flew1
the tiny sailboat. Natty, thoroughly
miserable, and new thoroughly fright
ened, leaned down upon her knees.and
cried with all her might. George Gaf
nett began to relent. He looked at
the unhappy girl beside him, and his
lip quivered, as always when the man's
feelings were strongly moved. He
hesitated a moment then called to
the boatman.
"We cannot go back," answered the
boatman. "We couldn't budge an
inch in the face of this wind. If we
ever come out of this alive, we'll do
well. Blame me if ever I listen to a
fool again."
And now not only the girl, but also
her fiery-hearted, rash lover, and even
the veteran boatman began to be seri
ously alarmed. It required all the
boatman's skill, assisted by the now
very penitent George Garnett, to man
age the boat. Natty. lay down in a
heap in the bottom of the boat, and
neither spoke nor looked up, she was
so frightened. At length the moon
went down, and it was terrible for a'
little while, beating about in the un
certain blackness. Nobody spoke, on
ly when the boatman gave orders to
George Garnett. The most grievous
troubles and the most perilous situa
tions in this life are ended at last.how
ever. After what seemed to Georgo
Garnett eternity, tho blackness began
to brighten iuto gray, and star alter
star blinked, a little, and then sudden
ly popped out of sight entirely. Off
to their right could be dimly perceived
something which looked like the shad
owy outline of houses and schooners.
"We'll run her in safe enough now,
I guess," said tho boatman. ."But
blame me if I'm fond of this fun !"
Georgo Garnett crept very humbly
to the side of Natty.
"Forgive mo if you can, Miss Na
talie," ho said. "I don't think a man
ever loved a woman as I love you. I
was crazy, I loved you so."
"But I love you too," saidatty.
In half an hour more they were
walking up the venerablo Sandusky
wharf together.
"What was the use," said Natty, "of
bringing me across the lake and near
ly drowning me to tell me that you
loved me, when you could have done
so much more comfortably in the par
lor at home?"
The steamer from Sandusky that
morning carried to Put-in-Bay a very
meek and subdued young lady and
gentleman, looking something as you
have seen two runaway horses look
that have been ducked in the river,.
The lady was covered with an im.
mense bran-new linen duster, which,
for material and make-up, was most
bazurre. It is not neccessary to say
that the tremendous linen duster cov
ered a ball-dress. Aud the two peo
ple had not mush to say for them
selves. Georgo Garnett'sfather rallied suffi
ciently to he present, clothed in his
