recent graduate Of NWoford, has ac-
cepted the position Of tea cher of South
Lyons Academy, in st. M,t.haw,.
and enleEedr"upon tiles duties Of hisT
new charge on Monday : PC is a
young man of promise, aud we con
gratulaIe the community of Lyons
township on. the acquisition OF his
services as teacher. The Trustees Of
this Academy have made II worthy
effort, having built new and COM
modlous school house to which rcfe.
renee has already been made in our
columns, and secured u good teacher,
and we wish them abundant success.
We see nothing to prevent every
community from taking the Same
steps in the cause of education. We
think it much better, other things
being equal, to bring the school, to
the children, instead of sending the
children off to the schools, for the
potent reason that they are kept
within the pale Of home influence.
We are glad Of this step in the right
direct ion, and rs the era of prosperity
Is dawning upon US we hope to see
continued efforts to build up our
schools at home.

and the cousins quitting London togeth-
er, 1t resulted that Graham Forbes was
alone In his chambers.
1t was as though destiny had been at
work for he had refused to have the
servant replaced until Margaret's re-
turn. He said he should prefer
laundress, who would see to his rooms
daily; and that he would breakfast and
dine out.
This life he had led for two months,
to the morning of the 9th of October,
when Margaret, returning to town,
found him dead.
The police came to the conclusion
almost Immediately, that the crime was
the result of vengeance, and not of
theft.
What enemies had he, and why were
these his enemies? These were the
questions which the police were asked.
The conclusion finally arrived at by
the police was this: that although, APP
parently, theft had not been the motive
for the murder, still robbery might have
been the aim the real aim being dis
guised, that the officers might be thrown
off the true track.
Had robbery been committed? This
was now the first question to be decided.

THE POLICE AT WORK.

THE POLICE AT WORK.
After the usual formula of From in
formation received on the 2sth October,
1866, we went to the house in Taggart's
Inn," the police report went on to
state -
Reaching the landing on the first
floor, we proceeded to the room in which
the crime was committed. The public,
and all those not belonging to the house,
were excluded, and the outer door closed.
1--WE now directed our attention to
the rooms belonging to the murdered
man. Crossing the ante chamber, the
sitting and sort of drawing
room-in not one of which we could
remark the least confusion, or any evil
dence of anything having been moved
from its ordinary place-we reached a
sort of library.
"Here we found two women, both so
overwhelmed with grief, that they did
not perceive our entrance.
zone of them appeared to be the COM
panion of the other. This one was
kneeling before the second, had her
arms clasped about her friend, and we
heard her murmur, Bear up, dear Mar
garet--bear upl You must be brave
and fight against your grief, If only to
avenge him.
"Thereupon, she who had been called
Margaret, leaped up and cried, oh,
yes; will surely avenge you, Graham.
l swear 1t y
Meanwhile, we were examining the
apartment in which we were standing,
very carefully.
"The companion, Miss Fotheringay,
declared that nothing in this room had
been touched by her or Miss Mayter
since their return, and that it was ex-
actly as they found it upon entering
about half an hour previously.
Knowing the necessity of ascertain
ing whether or not robbery had been
effected after the murder, we examined
all the drawers of the escritoire.
"They were all but one locked, and
showed no signs of any attempt to force
them. The exceptional drawer was half
open, a key Zone of bunch) in the
lock, and at once we could see that the
drawer in question contained a score and
more of sovereigns.
"There were also papers in this draw
er, which we closed and locked, retain
ing the keys until the law has decided
to whom they belong.
''Throughout the apartments we could
find no other piece of furniture which
could have served as strong-box, or as
a receptacle for money or valuable
papers.
"As we were about to enter the bed
chamber, the young lady whom the
companion had prevailed upon so far to
keep quiet, rushed toward us, and in
sisted upon entering the room.
"We begged her not TO follow US
adding that ner presence would only
interfere with the proper execution of
our duty.
" She heard us with more tranquility
and calmness than could have expect
ed, and, without making any answer
she returned to her seat.

OF great energy; and, as a detective,
am Of opinion that, so far from imped-

" mail from the north arrived in Lon
don, at six o'clock in the morning.
Very few passengers stepped from the
carriages to the platform, but amongst
those few were two who alighted from
the same carriage. At glance it might
have been seen that they were ladies In
the truest sense of the word.
She who was first to leave the car
riage, however, was evidently the supe-
rior of the other. Better dressed, and
certainly more beautiful; there was that
air of fse'f-consciousness about her which
always betokens sense of position and
standing in society.
Her companion was distinguished by
an air of selfsuppression and sense of
subordination which equally could not
be mistaken.
They were very far removed cousins !;
the older of the couple being Margaret
Mayter, the younger, Ellen Fother-
ingay.
The former of the two looked rapidly
about for some moments, and then,
with puzzled air, she questioned her
companion with a glance. She then
went to the edge of the platform, looked
upand down the roadway, and again
turning to her companion, she said,
"He is positively not here"
"Wait little, Margaret, he will be
sure to come. Shall we go into the
waiting room ?"
Wait-wait! And have not seen
him for two whole monthsl Ha !
there's cab turned in at the gate. 1t is
he!-I'm sure it is he !"
She ran forward to meet the vehicle,
then suddenly stopped, for it was as bad
as empty from her point of view.
"No," she said, sit is not Graham"
sAre you quite sure he received your
letter, Margaret"
"Why notp put it myself into the
post, and it must have heen delivered
either yesterday morning or last night.
What is to be done p" she added, ex-
citedly.
"Take a cab, and drive home"
"But suppose he should cross lis on
the road?''
"We shall see him; and if not, the
porter will tell him that we have gone,
and he will come on after us.'
" You are right, )" said Margaret May
ter. But, nevertheless she cast last
very slow look around her.
The cab, which had set down its pas
sengers, was being turned round as
Ellen Fotheringay called to the driver.
But when the two ladies entered, and
were about to be driven off, Ellen heard
her cousin sigh.
" Why Margaret, what is the mat
ter?"
ell think was anticipating meet
ing him with too much eagerness.
suppose have been fancying it would
be so very kind of him if he came and
met me, and we went back together,
for in three weeks we shall be mar,
ried."
"But you will see him, dear Margaret
in quarter of an hours time ; it will
not take us longer to reach his home.p

evil, Ellen"
"Of evil-that he is i'll? Nonsense
1t is only two days since you had a let
ter, telling you all was we'll"
''Still, a something does seem to weigh
upon me-" Margaret replied.
1t was one Of those exquisite and
equally rare October mornings when
for an hour or two, all the glories Of the
summer appear to have returned. In
