A STORY OF RE RlbO HON. convey them vo the temporary home cs our California friends, and some queer remarks were passed about the airs which tho French woman gave herself
 Upon reaching the house they wore au once ushered into the library and tho consultation immediately commenced
 Mrs. Bregy had very little to tell Icon corning her history prior to the time her husband deserted her. Sho related the incident of meeting him at ball to which she had been invited by some friends from her own country, and told the story of their brief courtship and hn- ally of her marriage to Alphonse Bregy. | But sheeither could not or would not tell what her husbands business was. She said that for the first six months of their married life he was Q loving husband and treated her kindly, but afterwards he began to go away for week or two at time and grew cold towards her. Finally, about month after Eugene was born, he went away and never again returned. After that time she never heard of her husband but once and that was from French plasterer, who had been ont to Denver. This man asserted positively that he saw Alphonse Bregy in that city, but that he could not get to speak to him. That" con cluded Mrs. Bregy, twas all l ever heard of him, and had given up all hope of ever seeing him again until l met him a few months ago at the dock in Brooklyn"
 "Was there any thing peculiar in his general bearing?" asked Percy.

Wilcox" said Mrs. Bregy in a pleasant manner.
 You must permit us to make some inquiries regarding this Mir. Emericb and give us permission to find out al we can about him," he..replied. t In grateful tone the woman replied Any information you may be able tC 1 give to me, no matter how scanty in de tail, will be gladly received and acknowledged"
 As the mother and son were being driven home, Mr. Wilcox and Percy sa , in the library still talking about Elm y erick.
 "There is a mystery attached to all O it." said Percy to MT. Wilcox "1f yo' t could have only seen the fellow Elmer icl. 1t might have cleared up doubts but as the matter now stands we can d. nothing but speculate"
 Ivory true, but if for no other reason - than to oblige this poor woman we mus now follow him up. Do you suppose ther' is any possibility of Emerick returning to New York in the near futureP"
