in heavy cloak. who appeared to be

And having exhausted that edifying

began to brag of his plans and pros

:. Particular That's just it-snd
makes my chance all the better. I've

But there II be lots of other fellows
trying for the place =
Don't care if there's fifty" said
Albert. I'D come in ahead of 'em
all. I've got testimonials of character
and qualifications from Prof. Howe,
Rev. Joseph Lee, Dr.. Henshaw and
Esquire jerks, the great railroad con-
tractor. His name alone is enough to
secure me the situation y
At this juncture, the strange gentle
man turned around and gave Albert a
quick. searching glance. But the con-
ceited boy was too much occupied with
himself to notice the movement, and
kept on talking. Now and then the
thought of the victim whom he had
fooled seemed to come back and tickle
him amazingly Wonder where the
old man is now. Ha, ha. Do you sup
pose he has found out where Harrow
town is9 Oh. but wasn't it rich to see
how scared he was when l walked him
up? And how he jumped and scram-
bIed out of the car. Pom my word,
never saw anything so comical.
Here the stranger turned again and
shot another quick glance. this time
from indignant eyes, and his lips parted
as if about to utter stern reproof.
But he did not speak Some hidden
motive withheld him.
We viii now leave Albert and his
fellow-travelers, and follow good Gid
con Randall.
Ii was quite dark when he stepped
from the cars, and he inquired of man
at the station
..Can you tell me where ] can find
Mr. Aaron Harrington?''
There's no such man living here, to
my knowledge" was the reply.
:. What. isn't this Harrowtownr
asked Mr.. Randall, in great consterna-
ton.

Then | got out at the wrong sta
ton. What shall l do?'' in a voice OF
deep distress.
go right to the hotel and STAY till
the train goes in the morning." said the
man, pleasantly.
There was no alternative. Mr.. Ran
dial passed restless night at the hotel,
and at an early hour he was again at
the station, waiting for the train His
face was pale, and his eye wild and
anxious THE stage broke down. and
l missed the first train" thought he.
and then that boy told me to get out
here I've made a bad beginning, and
I'm afraid this trip will have bad
ending"
There were other passengers walking
to and fro on the platform, waiting for
the cars to come.
One was plain-featured. honest
looking boy, who had been accompa-
Ried to the station by his mother. Just
before his mother babe him :" good-by,' IS
she said
Lyman. look at that pale, sad old
man. l don't believe he is used to
travelling. Perhaps you can help him
along"
Soon a loud, prolonged whistle was
