You see the family care as much about
the tombstones as about the bodies, as
the remains to be removed are those OF

family pride. The relatives, at least one

asked.
t.Lots and lots on 'em," said Tom.
then told Tom that it appeared from
what my master had told me that there
was some disagreement between two
branches of the johnson family as to
which had the best right to the remains
of the. ancient and titled Johnsons.
Therefore it would be best for us to say
nothing Of what we were about.
"Some of the Johnsons here in Thet-
ford may be of the same family" said
I, ssand may put in a protest against the
removal of the bones of their ancestors,
therefore let us earn our money and say
nothing. Well leave the Johnsons to
fight the matter out in the law courts
if they like. Heretofore the graves seem
to have been sadly neglected. Now, if
these Johnsons up Lun'un way want to
take proper care of the bones of their an

sons. If my master sends me down here
to do a job O. work, I'm going to do it
according to orders. If there's any having
or SIGH fussing, that's his look out"
Tom said he might as well have the
job as another and would keep mum
about the business-I had but to say
when was ready.
This matter arranged, I went to the
churchyard the next day in my working
dress and disinterred the remains. In
the grave Of Sir Archibald found a very
well preserved skeleton. It showed him
to have been tall and powerful man,
an ancestor'to be proud of. The coffin
was much destroyed and crumbled al
most at touch. On it found silver
plate containing the name and coat Of
arms of the deceased, and in it among
some dust and scraps of cloth number
Of large silver gilt buttons bearing the
family crest. These were prizes to be
treasured. In the grave of Lady Eleanor
I found nothing except a few bones and
a plain gold ring-doubtless her we'd
ding ring. On her coffin was a plate
similar to.that found in the other grave.
After the remains had been carefully
packed in their respective trunks, and
the graves filled, leveled and strewn with
dry leaves and other rubbish, I went to
the wharf and informed Tom that all
was in readiness. After he had deliv-
cred the load he had on his dray, we went
out to the churchyard and loaded on the
boxes. The only work about the job
was the carrying out of the boxes con-
tanning the tombstones, and we soon had
them on the dray. Indeed before sum
set we had all at the station ready for
shipment to London the next morning.
We did all the work in the broad light
Of day, and not question was asked us
by any one of the several persons we en-
countered at the churchyard and else
where. !.
At parting with Tom Bell he said he
had never before SO easily earned five

expected to pay big prices for such work,
as at best it was not very pleasant bust
ness. He said, Of the master should
send We daoun Tef'ord way for 'nuther

have all my jobs in that line and left
him a very happy man.

IMPORTING AN AN

CHAPTER III.

POSSESS MYSELF OF THE ASHES OF MY
ANCESTORS.
Having decided upon the transfer
ence" of Sir Archibald and Lady Flea
nor, made careful measurements of
their tombstones and had boxes made
for their reception and transportation.
The only real work in connection with
the business was the elimination of the
remains, and even this was no great task
for man from mining region. The
churchyard being half a mile from any
village, and the graves being hidden in a
thicket of brambles and thorn bushes,
one might have worked there week
without any one appearing to ask ques-
tons. Had any questions been asked I
was prepared with a plausible story
which I had concocted.
After mature elaboration and a care
full survey Of the ground, I decided to do
all the work Of exhunation myself and
in daylight, in order that might be able
to carefully inspect the contents of the
collins. AS the collins themselves would
be too much decayed for removal, I pur-
chased two neat and strong trunks Of
small size in which to place whatever |
might find in the way of remains.
This done had only to find means of
conveying the tombstones to the depot.
I must secure trusty drayman. Dis
guising myself az .workingman l one
morning sauntered down to the iron
bridge which spans the Ouse, uniting the
Norfolk and Suffolk sides of the town of
Thetford The town-we would call it
city-is situated at the influx of the
little river Thet, and the Ouse, thus
strengthened, is navigable as far up as
I the point where it is SPAWNED by the
bridge.
Some small vessels were discharging
q cargo at the wharf, and drays We're haul
ing the goods up into the town. I pres
saently went down upon the wharf and
studied the faces of the draymen.
B Among them was a young fellow about
& my own age, whose looks and manner !

All this was written out upon a most
formidable looking parchment, to which
were attached all the seals obtainable
legitimately or otherwise. Altogether,
it was a most substantial and well to do
looking document.
To the true genealogy Of Sir Archi-

the tree beautifully constructed gen
ealogical table--and appended to that 2
long and very interesting family history.
! We managed to take into. our genealog-
ical table at my suggestion from his
tory certain Lady Arbella johnson,
daughter Of Thomas, fourteenth earl Of
Lincoln, wife of Isaac Johnson. This
lady, it appeared from the account ex-
humed by Mr.. Roberts, accompanied her
husband to New England on board the
Eagle, whose name was changed in her
honor to the Arbella. She died in Sar
lem, Mass, in 1880, about two months
after her arrival in America.
While my genealogists were at work
upon the pedigree Of Sir Archibald and
Lady Eleanor. / had their coffin plates
polished up and retouched in spots. Also
I caused to be made for my sisters and
mother q few gold ornaments set with
handsome gems and bearing the family
crest, bracelets and all else being Of an
Gent patterns. They were the best coun.-
terfeits of ancient family jewels that
could be turned out in London by an ex-
pert at such work, an artist immensely
patronized on the sly. S#y s5s.s
next invented q very pleasing and
romantic fiction Of these jewels having
been deposited by Sir Archibald with q
certain barrister his lawyer Las q secret
trust, to be delivered to the heirs OF his
son Walter when personally applied for
and under certain conditions, one of
which was that the person applying
must remove his remains to America, in
accordance with his dying wish. This
trust bound not only the counselor at
law, but also his heirs, with much more
that I put into the story to make It
plausible.
