place at church; in fact, he was not ther
at all, and his clerk, who observed with SUI
prise his place vacant, walked round th
market-place with his wife and children O.
their homeward way, to inquire of Mrs
Jarvis if any letter from him had come t
the office. No, there was no letter. On th
Monday the lawyer was still absent, and hi
absence was still unaccounted for. Mr.
John Hutton called at noon that day, full.
expecting to find him returned, and whel
assured by the clerk (who felt bound t,
make an excuse for his principal when b
had none) that Mr.. Hargrove had been un
expectedly detained at Norminster by busi
ness of the last importance. but that h,
would be home in the evening, withou
doubt, he went his way again, annoyed, in
deed, but still far from suspecting the truth
On the morrow, however, when the clerl
himself looked queer, and tried to sugges
the explanation that Mr.. Hargrove NIGH
have been Obliged to 60 on to London, he
began to see that all was not right, and aftel
| questioning the man sharply, he demanded
the agents address.
"He left no address, sir; but he puts ur
at the Swan in Norminster when he does
not go to his brothers house., !" the clerk said,
deprecatingly. He Is not, however, at eth.
er place this time. When l found he did
not come last, sent over persop to Kirk
gate, to telegraph to Mr.. Sam. Hargrove at
tl,a IN q
where he was and the answer that came
back was that lie hadn't seen him. I don't
understand it, sir; L don't, really, any more
than you do. There have been ever 60 ma
NY people inouiring for him. as Il ALWAYS
happens when he has to 10 away on busi-
ness .
