it. Before he took his leave, Mr.. Dixon
drew Caroline aside to a table where stood an
inkstand, and there he produced to her two
slips of paper. One of them was torn. and
this he further tore INTO fragments; the 9th

months bill - exclaimed Stephen. who. at-
ter putting his name to It, had gone to dry
the document by holding it to the fire

hurry now. | hear mygig is AT the door
and Mr.. Dixon snatched the PAPER with an
air of great hustle.

Dixon, rather confusedly said Caroline.

traveller graspiug each of their hands in

word or two in private with Mr. Dixon ON
the doorstep, her conversation throughout
the dinner Gesignedly leading up TO that
point.

diameter, revolves Unce in IL hours. Il has
the hours painted on ito face, and has .
pointer denoting the hour Of the day. The
'snair' is fixed on its arbor and revolves
with it. The second wheel 10 p inches in
diameter, revclves every hour, has minutes
on its face. and pointer denotes the min
ute Of the hour. II also hes the lifting pin
attached to unlock the striking. The 'scspe
wheel is 81 inches in diameter, revolving in
3 minutes, with the seconds pointed Of
This arrangement Of wheels and numbers
precludes the necessity Of any dial work on
the movement. The 'scaps wheel has 80
pins Of peculiar shape, designed BY Mr..

pin sscspements. The pallets are Of the
