Il For nearly two days the dead body
had been packed into Silas' box, and
as soon as he was alone the unfortu-
nate New Englander nosed all the
cracks and openings with the most pas
sionate attention. But the weather was
cool, and the trunk still managed to
contain his shocking secret.
r. He took a chair beside it and buried
his face in his hands and his mind in
the most profound reflection If he
were not speedily relieved, no question
but he must be speedily discovered.
Alone in strange city, without friends
or accomplices if the doctors introduc-
ton failed him, he was Individually a
lost New Englander He reflected pa
thetically over his ambitious designs
for the future. He should not now be-
come the hero and Spokesman of his
native place of Bangor, Me-; he should
not, as he had fondly anticipated, move
on from Office to Office, from honor to
honor; he might as we'll divest himself
at once of all hope Of being acclaimed
president of the United States and
leaving behind statue in the worst
possible style Of art to adorn the capt.
tol at Washington. Here he was, chain
ed to dead Englishman doubled up
inside Saratoga trunk, whom he must
get rid of or perish from the rolls Of ma
tional glory!

ion of the order. 1t was with a heart
ull of alarms that Silas mounted into
he luxurious vehicle and was driven
o his destination. The entrance to
Box court was too narrow for the pas
Iage of a coach; it was a. mere foot
way between ratings, with a post at
either end. On one of these posts was
seated man, who at once jumped
Town and exchanged friendly sign
with the driver, while the footman
opened the door and inquired of Silas
whether he should take down the Sar-
ltoga trunk and to what number it
should be carried vs.
''If you please" said Silas, ito No. g."
The footman and the man who had
been sitting on the post, even with the
aid Of Silas himself, had hard work to
carry in the trunk and before it was
| deposited at the door of the house in
question the young American was hor-
cited to find a score of loiterers looking
! On. But he knocked with as good
countenance as he could muster up and
presented the other envelope to him
who opened. -.
"He is not at home," said he, 'but if
tomorrow early I shall be able to in
form you whether and when he can re-
ceive your visit. Would you like to
leave your box?" he added
"Dearly!" cried Silas And the next
moment he repented his precipitation
and declared with equal emphasis that
he would rather carry the box along
with him to the hotel.
The crowd jeered at his INDIGESTION
| and followed him to the carriage, with
insulting remarks, and Silas, covered
| with shame and terror, implored the
servants to conduct him to some quiet
| and comfortable house of entertain
ment in the immediate neighborhood.
The princes equipage deposited Silas
at the Craven hotel, in Craven street,
and Immediately drove away, leaving
| him alone with the servants of the inn.
The only vacant room, it appeared, was
little den up four pairs of stairs and
looking toward the back. To this her
| mitage, with infinite trouble and COM
plant, a pair of stout porters carried
the Saratoga trunk.
It is needless to mention that Silas
kept closely at their heels throughout
| the ascent and had his heart in his
mouth at every corner. A single false
STEP he reflected, and the box might 20
over the balusters and land it's fatal
contents, plainly discovered, on the
nc Of hn ho1
Arrived in the room, he sat down on
| the edge of his bed to recover from the
agony he had just endured, but he had
hardly taken his position when he was
| recalled to a sense of his peril by the
action of the boots, who had knelt be-
side the trunk and was proceeding Off
| ciously to undo it's elaborate fasten-
ings.
LET it bev' cried Silas. II shall want
nothing from it while stay here.''
"You might have let it lie in the hall,
then," growled the man; "a thing as
big and heavy as a church. What you
have inside 1 cannot fancy. If it is all

its grisly contents. The journey passed
without much incident, although the
young man was Mortified to overhear
the sailors and railway porters com

unusual weight of the princes bag

the Wallets, for Prince Florizel chose to
be alone with his master of the horse
On board the steamer, however, Silas
attracted his highness' attention by the
melancholy of his air and attitude as
ne stood gazing at the pile of baggage,
for he was still full of disquietude
about the future

prince, "who must have some cause for
sorrow"
'That," replied Geraldine, sis the

to me through Colonel Geraldine Re-
member, if you please, that I shall be
glad at any future time to lay you un-

And he then put some questions as
to the political condition of America,
which Silas answered with sense and
propriety.
"You are still young man." said the
prince, "but l observe you to be very
