answer and she wrote again. Meeting
a Devonshire man at Monckton Mines,
he asked him If he knew a mad woman
at Torquay named Willyams, and was
assured that Mrs. Willyams was not
mad. Still he did not reply, and she
wrote asking him to meet her near the
fountain in the exhibition. lie did not
go, and she wrote again. naming AN.
other hour.
His friends advised him to keep the
appointment and he did 81. He found
AN old lady who might have sat for the
figure of n fairy godmother. She told
him a long story and gave him an en-
velope containing a statement ON which

afterward lac put on the same coat,
and there was the envelope ron
tanning n bank note for "A Thousand
