time, and sympathizingly observed that he plainly
showed the marks OF the British bastile In his
blanched cheek and generally widowed air. Hav-
ing done this, and having wondered why all the
great ones Of the earth could not be thus aabe the
porter went his way with consciousness OF duty
well performed.
Meantime within the hall OF the stately residence
the momentary Mr.. Train had undergone sudden
and remarkable metamorphosls. In an instant he
ceased TO be the irrepressble George Francis and
became the placid careful, methodica porter OF an
upholsterer. He turned the chairs around until he
mad viewed them in every possible aspect; he held
them up to the hight and eyed them with the closest
scrutiny. AT last he became convinced and Informed
the admirlng servant that there had Deen o. strange
mistake made; these were not Mrs. Trains
chairs at all, but something decidedly inferior.
so he would take them back at once and
have the matter rectlhed. As the servant
had not seen the real porter and had admitted his
substitute without question: so she gave him egresS
without suspicion, and In high state Of admiration
at the honesty and care he had evinced she watched
him from the stoOp and saw him walk down the
avenue bearing the inferior chairs ra
me seque OF the story Ia soon told. The pseudo
Mr. Train, swiftly changing TO the careful porter was
after all nothing but city bird OF prey. He and
the chairs disappeared together, and no trace OF
either has YET been found. Yesterday detective
Eustace was put upon his trail and has strong hopes
OF soon netting the bird, and as sequence or max
