A Detectives Story.

twas dull rainy day toward the
end OF August. One of those days when
earth and sky alike are drcary, aud the
rain drops pattering against the window
make one feel SO sad and lonely. The
clock that hung against the wall pointed
10 the hour OF three, when Mr.. Gordon,
our chief dark, silent little man, ell
tered the room.
Wells said he, don't you feel like
having little excitement just now!
OF course l had to say yes
Il want you to arrest Bill Siddons the
torger,' said Mr.. Gordon, and he was
last heard of at c.; you had bet :
ter start right off,
Nv interest was aroused when told of
the large reward should obtain, and |
readily undertook to ferret out the for
ger.
The rosy dawn was just flashing the
eastern sky rs | alighted wearily from
the train and walked to the village hotel
In answer TO my inquiries | was told
that with the exception of a Young lady
who had come the night before, there
were no new arrivals.-At dinner time
| sat opposite the young lady in question,
and noticed that when she saw me
come in, she smiled and blushed rosv
red. Her dark brown eyes seemed to
sparkle and CLEAN with fun and mis-
chief; her long black hair, which she
wore in curls, seemed created but to
hide her bushes. But being fair
specimen OF the sterner sex, attributed
all these little smiles and glances to my
personal appearance, and congratulated
myself upon having made An impression
on such beautiful creature.
Next day prosecuted my search, but
all to no purpose, for nowhere could l
gain intelligence Of the object of nv pur-
suit. For one week l searched high
and low. but no Bill Siddons could l
find. Al! this time had been stopping
at c.; and had fallen deeply n
love with Clara Armstrong, for such
was my fair charmer's name, aud also
flattered myself that she looked favora-
bly, on me.
On the night before my departure for
the city was sitting in the hotel parlor
with Clara.
And so,' l said, 'you will think Of me
sometimes, ClaraF
She smiled, blushed, and taking q
pair of scissors from the table she cut
of one of her curls and handed it to
me.

fore LAYING it next 10 NV heart!-Clara
smiled aud said nothing. Evidently she
did not think me foolish.
The next morning arrived safely in
the city and hurried to the ohlce OF the
chief to report. As was coming ou,
