we IOlkOWeu ulm through the little
crowd of passengers and porters, accom-
Ipanied by policeman in uniform. Al
we passed we heard fragmentary obser
vations of a most pleasing kind.
(which is it?" said some one.
"It's the girl, / think" a
"No, it's the old woman; she looks as Il
she would do any one mischief if it suited
her."
"Old man looks too soft for ANYTHING. ,
and so on.
Went into the office and 1 Indignantly
turned to the station master:
"What is the meaning of this, sir?" Il
"Oht it's very simple, sir; a telegram
has arrived from the police in London
with orders to stop this young lady; here

took it and read: fa .dt
1.-THE young lady looking very ill,
dressed in black silk mantle, white straw
bonnet, with white flowers, is to be de-
tanned at the station till the arrival of the
officer by the afternoon mail. She is
seated in the middle compartment Of the
third first. class carriage from the end of
the train. Her present name is Clara
Webster. TO avoid the possibility of a
mistake, she has diamond ring on the
third finger of the left hand, with the
words, "From HERBERT engraved on the
inside" +.
It certainly was correct description,
and the name-there might be two Clara
Websters, though. y en7'nma. ns# -
"Let nae SEQ your left hand, DEAR"
She pulled off her glove and there was
the ring.
''Lst me see that ring with the diamond
on it,"
"Uncle, what does this mean? is any
thing wrong q: homer"
"l'll tell you presently, dear; give me
the ring" %a
She took it off and gave it to me, and
I read, "From Herbert on the inside.
"Why that's tie ring that Mr.. Langly
gave you." .....t ...Isf,-,.a-.. ,.t~,.

saw it was no use to struggle; when
the officer came down he would explain
the mistake. 4 H..
"Where can we waltz" asked.
"Wai:, Uncle Joseph, what for?"
Madam, this telegram orders the ar
rest of your daughter, and her detention
here till the arrival of an officer from
London"
"But what fo5!"
II cannet tell; it is useless to complain
now; we must wait" -...e 81
II shall do nothing Of the kind; shall
at once go and get my brother and Mr.
Tredgar and come down."
pray ion't, madam; there's no occa.
sion to make more noise about this matter
than can be helped.
81 shall remain with Clara; you had
better 60 and say we arc coming shortly
"Your instructions don't include this
lady or myself" asked.
mot at all, sir; you are both free to &c
at any time, but the young lady must
stay"
"Where?"
"WeIl, sir, I'm sure there's some mis-
take, and was so from the moment saw
the young lady; SO, if you'll give me your
word not to go away, I'll take you into
my house out of the hustle of the station.
Mrs. Webster went OF, and Clara and
| went out to tne house.
"What can it be, uncle?" a..E .
"Csn't say, my dear; it will be some
thing to laugh at by-andby; it's no
pheasant now"
"But about the ring? Do you think il
possible, that what mamma said?"
Possible, my dear, it's ridiculous. It Z
a hundred years old, and l dare say i
belonged to his mother before he gave i
to you.
II can't think what it can be-"
Don't think about it. It's mistake
that's all; it will all be cleared no in
few hours. Well have some dinner, an(
pass the'time as we'll as we can"
do yov know, uncle, feel almos
glad Of this; it seems like break in tn,

We had dined and got to be quit
: cheerful and laughing over the blunde
as we sat at the window, when q rap q
the door startled us both.
"Come in"
A gentleman entered.
: "Miss Webster?"
Clara bowed
} "Miss Clara Webster?" he said, readins
the name from a letter.
: Clara bowed again.
He handed her the letter, which sh,
, opened, read, and dropped on the floor
exclaiming, "Thank God thank God! O
uncle, an so happy" and then fell int
a chair faintlng.
picked up the letter, and, calling tn,
people of the house, very soon brough
1 her too, and we were once more alon,
with the bearer of the note, which ran a
follows:
