CHAPTER Nv.

This gentleman had some information
to give. As he was returning home from
the bedside of sick Darishioner. some
little time before, he had been run
against on this very corner by a man
rushing out of the gateway in a state of
great agitation. This man held some
thing in his hand that glittered, and
though the encounter nearly upset them
BOTH he had not stopped to utter an
apology, but stumbled away into the
darkness in a dazed and feeble way,
showing that he was neither young nor
active. The minister had not been able
TO see his face, but noticed the ends Of
a long beard blowing over his shoulder
as he hurried away.
Philemon was d clean-shaven man.
Asked if he could give the time of this
encounter, he replied that 1t was after
IL and before u, for he was in his own
house by r.
Did You look I'D at these windows

CHAPTER III.

AS they re-entered the larger room,
they were astonished to come upon
Miss Page standing in the doorway.
She was gazing at the recumbent fig
ure of the dead woman, and for a mo-
ment seemed unconscious of their pres
ence
How did you get in? Which of my
men were weak enough to let you
pass, against my express instructions? ?"
asked the constable, who was of an
irritable and suspicious nature.
She let the hood drop from her head,
and, turning, surveyed him with a slow
smile There was Witchery in that
smile sufficient to affect a much more
cultivated and callous nature than his,
and though he had been proof against it
once. he could not quite resist the
effect of its repetition.
II insisted upon entering" said she.
DO not blame the men; they did not
want to use force against a woman"
She had not a good voice and she knew
it; but she covered up this defect by a
choice of intonations that carried her
lightest speech of the heart. Hard
visaged Amos Fenton gave a grunt,
which was as near an expression of ap-
prevail as he ever gave to anyone.

that brings you here. Better drop it,
girl; it won't do you any good in the

way TO shock the sensitive Mr.. Suther-
land.

A TRUE STORY.

for Pleasant Thought.

1t Contains Matter for Thought but Not
for Pleasant Thought.
A wealthy man, riding in a rich
carriage through one of the poorest
regions of a thickly populated and in
dustrious city, noticed a beggar, who
stood leaning against the fence of a.
vacant lot.
How ugly! Everywhere that lazy
lot; they poison our lives! Disagree
able!" the thought flashed through his
mind.
The weather was muggy and cold:
the beggar is scarcely covered with his
ragged clothes. He looks melancholy.
thoughtful, and shivers.
perhaps a drunkard," the man in
the carriage thinks.
At last he takes pity with the beg
gar, pulls 0 II a coin from his purse
and throws it scornfully at the wretch.
But the beggar does not move.
What a rascal! Does not even move:
not enough for him; always dissatis-
fed he murmurs to himself.
The carriage rolls away. The beg
gar looks on the coin with eagerness;
he wants to bend down and pick it
UP, but his old sick legs and his broken
body in general don't yield to his wish,
especially when it is so wet and cold.
Today" he thinks, Il ought not to
go out at all; but how can 1? The
fear OF starvation compels me-"
He want to make a start, but the
legs, stiff as wooden sticks, refuse to
obey. He becomes paler than hitherto
by the thought of a certain accident
that has so much resemblance to his
present state. He was once in the same
state. was brought to the hospital,
where he remained for over a month.
and suffered there much more than at
his home"
But he must pick up the coin. And
where there is a must there is a way,
as the old saying goes A cheerful
idea strikes his mind; he lowers him
self down with his whole body, rests
for a moment on the sidewalk, then
stretches himself out to his full
length, his face looking so painfully
wrinkled from the effort he makes;
soon he seems to be cheered up by the
joyful idea that he is now nearer to
the so-much-longed-for treasure; he
needs only to stretch his arm a little
forward and his days sufferings are
rewarded. He does so; he at last
reaches it, grasps it, and has it Sc
cure in his hand. He brings it nearer
to his eyes, carefully examining it.
and all of a sudden he vehemently
yells OUT: "Oh, what a rascal! A
counterfeit quarter!"
