back said Frederick sadly. "The
task was not of my seeking; but now
that it has been given me to do, I
dare not shrink from it till l arrive
at the truth. Oh, dear Lady Spen-
celaugh, pray believe me when 1
say
She stopped suddenly, afrighted
at the strange look on the face of the
woman before her. Her Ladyship's
mask was pushed aside for moment,
and the lurking fend behind peeped
out in all his native hideousness.
''Am l., then, to understand that
it is your fixed determination not to
give this matter up?'' asked Lady
opencelaugh il tone of ice.
Fredcrica bowed her head, but did
not speak. Lady Spencelaugh touch
ed the small silver gong at her elbow.
1.-The door, for Miss Spencelaugh,"
she said to Clotilde. Frederick pass
ed out slowly and sorrowfullv with
out another word.
''Let her do her worst" said Lady
Spencelaugh to herself as soon as she
was alone; II can still defy her
defy all Of them. | shall triumph in
spite Of everything-but at wnat a
terrible cost"
She took scrap of paper from her
sachel, and opened it, 1t was the
telegram which had been received bv
the landlady of the Hand and Dag
ger on the previous day. Its con-
tents were embodied in one line, and
that one line ran as under: 1.-The
Ocean chilli has foundered with
all on board Lady Spencelaugh's
eyes glittered, aud her mouth pucker-
ed into an evil smile rs sh ; read these
words. "It's an i'll wind that blows
nobody any good" she muttcred as
she replaced the telegram in her sachcl.
The fast afternoon train of that
same day bore Frederica Spence
laugh and Jane Garrod swiftly Lon
downward.

Picarooning.

If there is any difference Of grade
in thicvlng. the most mean and de-
spicable kind is that of robbing gar
dcns and orchards. And vet it is
practi>cl by many who consider
themsc YES respectable and would re-
sent being called thief As the high
est Of insults. They are sort Of land
pirate--Picaroons--harpics who would
snatch from thcr, what t:ey were to-
lazy to grow for themselves.
not be particufarlv nceneu y, j.
light fingered gentry who purloin
them, and yet the loss OF them be Sc
vcrcly tclt by the real owners. A
farmer takes pains to ral,e a tree
to send to a distance and obtain Il
choice variety OF fruit he nurses and
watches it day after day and pr 'tcct5
it summer and winter. and at length
it blossoms and few specimens of
the fruit begin to grow. He looks
forward with pleasure to the consum-
nation of his labors. and the reward
of his care and attention ut any rate
he thinks he will soon be a bic to test
the accuracy and result of his choice
and know for certainty what he has
been rearing with so much solicitude,
Now the fruit tself-no matter what
it be-whether apples-plums-pears
or any thing else, may not be worth
in the market three cents, and yet to
the owner it has value not to be
measured BY dollars and cents. Very
well. they are nearly ripe, when
along come some of these ionhnq
nuisamces and forthwith strip the
tree
demonstrate with them and they
will laugh in your tace-talk OF pros
ecuting and they are actually aston
ished that YOU should ''nake such
a fuss" for t,co or three apples.
What's t'co or three apples. and
that's all the consolation YOU get.
We had rather man would take US
bv the throat and rob us of our watch,
pocket book or coat, than creep
round our premises like a skunk in a
hen coop, picking off this or that lit
tie thing apple, melon. or berry, and
then be so contoundedly astounded
if you say any thing against it. In the
former case there is courage and de-
cision about it which may give it the
semblance of no small deed, but in
the latter, there is not Il single re-
deeming circumstance-noth to
give it the shadow of shade Of re-
spectability or decency. 1t is. sinking
down on level with the Crawling
reptile-nay, below even that, for
the reptile may plead Of .cason and
hunger for excuse, but the Picaroon
has neither OF these to plead inexten-
uation OF his nasty sneakl2g, con-
temptible acts.
