the month there was not much diff
Guilty in finding what | wanted.
Here you are, said Chambers, beck
oning to me. "Only oneship this month
from Chile-a steamer, the Copiapo.
Arrived on the 9th Of June. Dane &
Paxton, 40 Devereux lane. "
copied this down i'll my notebook,
refused Chambers hospitable invitation
to luncheon and went off at once to
Devereux lane. Here l had no difficulty
in seeing the passenger list of the Co
piapo, and one of the first names l set
my eyes on was Francis Briarfeld.
This puts the matter beyond all
doubt, " said |, making a note Of this.
"If Francis Briartield did not arrive in
London till the 9th of this month, he
cannot be the man now bearing his
name at Bellin Hall"
l was now perfectly satisfied that
Merrick's idea was correct. In order to
confuse and throw me Off the scent, Fe-
lix had followed me to Paris and ap-
peared in propria persona. But for the
doctors suggestion of the shipping list
/ should not have been able to prove
this, but now l held incontrovertible
evidence in my hands to prove that Fo-
| liX was trading on the marvellous resem-
,blnce between his brother and himself.
Francis had arrived in England on the
9Th of June, he had met me at the Fen
inn on the 10th and had there been foully
done to death by his brother through
q third party. But | was now ON the
trail and hoped to run to earth both the
unnatural brother and his vile tool
felt like the hero Of some wild romance.
On returning to my rooms in Duke
| street | wrote off at once to MerIick,
telling him Of my success in proving
the identity Of Francis with the man
who had been slain at the lone inn. 1t
now remained for me to 20 down to
Westminster and there make inquiries
as to the movements of Felix ON the
night i'll question.
l felt confident that l could pursue
such q search without hindrance, as he
would be quite satisfied that l would
now rest after the Paris episode No
man in his senses would search for u
dead man when that man had been con.
clusively proved to be alive. So Felix
doubtless thought and rejoiced i'll his
cleverness i'll thus putting an end to
my inquiries. But mark how ironical
is fate. Felix advised me to consult a
doctor about my hallucination, as he
chose to call it. | took that advice and
saw Merrick. Morrick had nullified all
his plans by solving the riddle with
which Felix was trying to battle me.
1t was hard on Felix to thus be the
means of pointing the way to his own
destruction. But then fate is so ironical
That afternoon | received answers to
my kilograms. The first, from Paris,
stated that Mr.. Felix Briarfield had
started for Italy; the second from
MarshminsteY, informed me that Fran
els Briartield was staying at Bellin
Hall.
NO." said |, Oh reading these tele-
grams, "Felix Briariield did not leave
Paris for Italy, but for Westminster,
and Francis Briarfield, poor soul, isnot
at Bellin Hall, but lying in the Essex
marshes.
That night at 3 o'clock l left for
Westminster.

of a jolly theater party that visited the
restaurant after the performance. A very
merry time was passed, and before the sup
per was over a MONDAY luncheon was
planned for Monday. OF course the count
was one of the first to be invited, and that
honor was intrusted to Mrs Woodrow, of
the Hotel Woodruff. The young man was
delighted to accept the kindness, and an

A correspondent asks; If A and B are
standing at the rear end Of train half a
mile long and A walks to the front end,
will he get to his destination before b, or
does he travel faster? He is informed that
il AS destination is half mile forward
from the place at which A and B stood to-
gether, and the train stands still, A nm
doubtedly travels faster that B and will
get to his destination before B. In case
the train moving forward, A, while walk
ing forward, goes faster than b and will
get to his destination sooner-always pro-
vided that he jumps off promptly when he
gets there. In the third case, in which the
train backs, A, while walking forward,
will be going slower than b, provided the
trains speed is greater than A's. Whether
in this case A or b will get to his destina-
ton first depends upon the speed of each
afoot.--Baltimore Sun.

An African hunter answers the ques.
tion in this way:
Come with Inc to desert pool some
clear moonlight night, when the shadows
are deep and sharply cut and the moon
herself in the dry, cloudless air looks like
ball, All is nearly as bright as day, only
the light is silver, not gold Sit down on
that rock and watch the thirsty animals
as they drink-buffalo, rhinoccros, ante
lope, quagga and occasionally if the water
is large, lions too. But what has fright
ened the antelope and quagga that they
throw their heads up for u second and fade
away into the shadows? The other beasts,
too, are listening and now leave the sides
of the pond. Nothing but the inevitable,
irrepressible jackal, that gamin among
wild things, remains in view. AS yet
your dull human ears have caught no
sound but very soon the heavy tread and
low, rumbling note of an oncoming herd
of elephants reaches you. They arc at tho
water. The jackals have sat down, with
their tails straight out behind them, but
not another creature is to be seen. The
king drinks Not sound is heard He
squirts the water over his back, makes the
whole pool muddy and rctires solemnly,
leaving his subjects, who now gather
round, to make the best of what he has
befouled. This is the king in the opinion
of beasts.

1t was said of Edward the ConfeSsor
that he could deny II request SO sweetly
that his No" was pleasantcr than the
"Yos" of other people. Tho love and
admiration" says Canon Kingsley,
(which that truly brave and loving man,
Sir Philip Sidney, won from every one,
rich and poor, with whqm he came in con-
tact, seem to have arisen from the fact
that without perhaps having any such
conscious intention, he treated rich and

Sorry He Smoke,

A parrot belonging to a clergyman was
generally taken out of the room when the
family assembled for prayers, for fear he
might take it into his head to join irreve-
rently in the responses. One evening, how
ever, his presence happened to be un-
noticed and he was entirely forgotten. For
some time he maintained u decorous si-
lence, but at length, instead of "Amen,"
out he came with Cheer, boys, cheerl"
On this the butler was directed to remove
him, and had got as far as the door with
him when the bird, perhaps, thinking that
he had committed himself and had better
apologize, called out, Sorry l spoke"
