s'Marceua" and her Cousin Pons" were
dawdling "over the tea cups one even
ing, when Donovan" was ushered in,
telling them that the town was terribly
excited over a murder that had been com
mitted in 1.-THE House on the Marsh"
They at once sent out for the "Pickwick
Papers" and upon reading them found
that the murdered man was none other
than "Saracenesca," the Count Of Nom
te Christie" who was only spending the
night there on his way to king Solo
mons Mines" but now the poor fellow is
with the Immortels.' There was no
clew to the murderer. except that Three
Men in a Boat" were seen on the river
After Dark" Further search brought
the detectives, who were Three Guards
men," each wearing THE Iron Mask" TO
a secluded path, where they met "Dianna
Of the Crossways," mounted on Black
Beauty accompanied by Dr. ha-
meau"
They told us they had met on the way
''The Refugees" from The White Com
pany." We thanked them and soon found
our way to THE Green Dragon" Being
tired and hungry, we dismounted and en-
tered. To our surprise, seated at the
table opposite was our Mutual Friend.
"AIr. Barnes Of New York. with Mr..
Potter of Texas" John Halifax" and
Lorna Doone" They each wore THE
Scarlet Letter" which was The Sign of
the Four" We found they were on pleas
ure bent so decided to give up our hunt
for the murderer and join the party.
That evening we found ourselves at a
London Mansion" the reception rooms
49, cr.v-aaF IN Tooxfnp around for a
familiar face, a Woman in White with
a Bow Of Orange Ribbon" in her hair,
drew our attention. On inquiry found
her to be IAN American Girl in London,
katherine Lsuderdale," who is The
ColonePs Daughter" She was surrounded
by many admirers, among them re
Prince of India" Don Orsino," Lord
Ormand," "a Fellow of Trinity" and
others. Yes, said Paul Patoff," That
Beautiful Wretch" is looking for crown.
She" has the Hard Cash." as well as
American Notes. to back her. No,
said another, she is mot Like Other
Girls and her Friendship" is worth
seeking. ''Trilby." her dearest friend. tells
me that she is in love with IAN American
Politician" Dear boy, wouldn you like
to Put Yourself in His Place. we
Two" can see nothing to be won by
Waiting" let US go out in the air and
enjoy the company Of MY Lady Nlco-
tine"
Next morning we were awakened early
by the "Shandon Bells" and was pleased
TO meet "The Autocrat' at the breakfast
table who entertained us with plain
Tales From the Hills" and the story OF
an African Farm After our meal, we
strolled over to the "Old Curiosity shop,
near BLEAK House" and found it to be
kept stin by "Dombey and SON. They,
too complained of Hard Times. We
looked around and found some things
which struck our fancy, but they were
ruined by Moths" Hunting further I'm
der Two Flags" we found some Sketches
by Boz" purchased them and started
again "Homeward Bound
We had not gone far when we were
called Back" by two little waits sitting
on a stone. They were "Helen's Babies
but called themselves 1.-The Heavenly
Twins" They asked us If we wouldn't
like to take a "Trip 10 the Moon" so that
we could see all THE Ships That Pass
in the Night" We were amused for
a while, and when they asked us which is
il, 1.-THE Lady or the Tigerg we thought
II was time to move on, but on parting
they gave us each "a Yellow Aster" to
remember them by.
That afternoon on our way to the club
we came across a mysterious package ly-
ing on the walk. on opening 1t, found
il contained the Love Letters of
Worldly Woman" We were not long in
finding the owner as ''Dodo" claimed
them as her own. BY the way, 1t is
Overheard in Already" that she is to
marry Ivan Bibber" at "St. Michaers."
THE Little Minister" is to ofiiciate and
"Rudder Grange" win be their future
home. Some day we will hear THE Re
Elections of a Married Man"
Here we are at the club; when a
Mans Single" he can enjoy the "Rever-
les of a Bachelor" Harkl Where is that
sweet music coming from? On looking
out of the window we saw "A Man in
Black playing THE First Violin surely
with him 1.-THE Light Has Failed" for he
was "A Blind Musician" and his music
was a sweet accompaniment to the idle
Thoughts of an Idle Fellow"
