Miss Evans.

Miss Evans, who is engaged on a
new novel for Blackwood, is most
laborious and pains-taking writer, be-
slowing as much pains upon single
book as ordinary authors do upon six.
Her handwriting illustrates this. 1t
is bold, round, as easy to read as print,
and scarcely an erasure is to be met
with in the manuscript of whole vol
ume. This is owing to the fact that she
carefully sketches beforehand what she
intends to write, and then copies it
elaborately. The printers keep her
manuscript clean, and, after the proofs
have been corrected it is returned to
her. She has the MSS. of all her
books bound in red morocco, and they
form one of the most interesting fea-
lures of her library She sold "Ad am
Bede " to Blackwood for 81, 500 butts
success prompted her publishers to
present her 81, 500 besides. For "Felix
Holt" she received the large sum of
$4,000.

they were done with admirable skill.
The grammar was complete; and the
little dots or marks which bun piers use
to guide them in writing the words
which are to be read were entirely ab-
sent. The way in which the deception
- effected is this: The correspondents,
before commencing, take sheet of pa
per and cut tholes in it, which, of course,
in two half-sheets exactly correspond.
They each take one half-sheet; and
when a letter is to be written the writer
so arranges the words that those intend
ed to be read shall appear in the holes
when the half-sheet is placed over the
paper, which is of the same size. When
his correspondent receives the letter, he
places his half sheet over it, and reads
off the words, as you did. The difficult
t.y, which was so well conquered in this
case, is to make the sense run fuently,
and to prevent any visible break in the
writing. Without the half-sheet with
the holes in it, no one can have the
slightest clue to the real meaning
My suspicious, once aroused, were
confirmed by the inquiries which I
made. The whole story about the sis

come from Jersey, the answers we to
Fleet street, to the charge of very noto-
rious agents. But if our friend had
not been fool enough to leave his half
sheet in his desk, we might have groped
in vain forthe mystery"
Beaumont disappeared that night,
and was never heard of again at the
Admiralty. 1t transpired afterward
that some accomplice had warned him
of the experts visit to the Admiralty,
and his inquiries in Jersey. He had
made an attempt to get admitted to his
rooms, but was scared by the sounds
he heard, and contrived to escape to
France. The lady who acted the sister,
and who visited the Admiralty, partly
to put the authorities off their guard, |
and probably also to interchange the
key to the cipher, was Partisan celeb
rity, who, both before and afterwards,
was renowned for her daring in politi-
cal intrigue.
