 George smoked in silence. At length he said: ~Havc you any ciew to Mrs. Johnson's identisy2 want to see her, and to sec her as soon as possible. have lost my love for Agnes that is cer- tain. have also lost my impression of impending death. do not think love Mrs. Tss=sc.. ! simply have a very snonF desire to sue her immediately.
 "I have no clue whatever to her iden- tity or her location; but 1t cannot bc diff ficult to find hex. She undoubtedly has her dog with her, and 1t was a very re- markAble dog. She is also, as you do not know, think, bird charmer, and has especial fondness for pigeons" went on to detail the incidents illustrat- ing Mrs. Johnson's passion for, and pow CT over, birds, and added, "These things, her beauty, and the minute personal de- scription we can give, will make it alm ost impossible for her to clude a systematic search, even if she should desire to do so. And hardly think she would desire it. She has nothing to conceal, and is so ex- cessively simple and kind, aad had so much affection for you, that if she once knows your wish so sec her, do not think she will stay away"
 In the course of the long conversation which followed, gave George all the in- formation l had regarding Mrs. Johnson, including the mysterious visitor at mid night, and the fact that she had a son, and that she was born in Devonshire. It was arranged that immediate steps should be taken, both by advertisement and special agents, to discover Mrs. Johnson.
 Weeks passed. The press was used freely, both In Europe and America, in vain, and a well-known private detective agency received large sum of money for not finding Mrs. Johnson. As final resort, an advertisement with a minute description and an offer of a thousand dollars reward was printed on the same day in the leading newspapers of every European country.
 We received hundreds of letters, and "Where is Mrs. Johnson" became a catch-word on the streets, but no clue led to anything we wanted.
 On the 18th of December George sailed for England. hardly deemed this wise on his part, as his purpose was to go over Devonshire foot by foot, until he discovered something in regard to Mrs. Johnson. felt sure Mrs. Johnson must have left Devonshire many years before, as she had no trace of the pecu- liar accent of that quaint English district in her speech. However, offered no opposition to the plan. Georges health was excellent, and the discovery of Mrs. Johnson had become the one object of his thoughts.
 ca the 3d of January, 1880, as ap- preached my office. 42o Lafayette Place, l was surprised to see crowd of curious persons about the building a crowd conn posed of every class, mary of them read ing aloud from newspapers to those next to them; others conversiDg in little groups of three or four. which constantly changed their members newsboys darted in and out of the crowd selling papers without cessation. As approached, one offered me a paper. "Ful account of the South street skeleton, Mister" bought the paper, and some one said, "That's the doctor; that's Dr. Arndt."
 The crowd opened for me, and walked through two lines of packed, inquisitive faces to the stairway. What suddenly made me an object of interest to this crowd in busy New York? entered my office; upon a chair in the ante-room sat policeman holding a small black tin box, padlocked. As came in my assis- tant said, This is Dr. Arndt."
 "Is this your name2" asked the po- liceman, showing me, painted on the side of the box, pr. Max Arndt, APO Lafay- cite Place, City"
 "That is my name and address," said l." who sends the box?"
