In Mr.. Ragland's flower garden,
there is large summer house,
made of lattice-work, and all COW
cred over with vines. Ii is con
structed in an octagonal shape,
with wooden benches, arranged
round inside. This house has been
the meeting place of Miss Bram-
lett and Bowls. Miss Jamima Tad
POODLE saw them there one night at
a very late hour. She had called
to see Mrs. Ragland one evening
and was informed by the house
maid that her mistress had gone out
to attend a meeting Of some benev-
olent society, of which she was an
active member; but the maid told
Miss Tadpoddle that Mrs. Ragland
would be in soon, and while wait
ing in the drawing room for Mrs.
Ragland's return. she saw Miss
Bramlett go into the summer house.
Soon after Miss Bramlett went into
the place, Bowls came IN through
a secret entrance, at the back Of
the garden, and went into the sum.
mer house where Miss Bramlctt
was waiting for HIM. The moon
was shining very brightly, and she
was therefore able to see them dis
tinctly; but she was not close
enough to hear what passed be-
tween them. After waiting long
time to see Mrs. Ragland, Miss Tad
POODLE left without seeing her, and
when she went away Bowls aud
Miss Bramlttt were still in The sum
mer house. How long they re
mained there, she Of course did moi
know. When Miss Tadpoddle gave
US this Information, we made 4 lhor-
ough examination Of the premises,
in order to find the place where
Bowls got into The garden. Ne
searched for some time, withouf any
result; but at last we found his en-
