Mr. Ptrktf was made trustee for her with 14 i,uh,ry of live thousand dollars yearly, to be drawn from tho e.slato until tho lady should Ippetr to tlaUB the property. The young lawyer protested in vain at hit client 's extraordinary testament, pointing out. that it made him, Parker, actually thf he,r Ik the property, for no ouo believed that Mrs. Brownlow tt'a alive.

All her other relative remained In Ireland." A few moro questions in the same vein tonoiuded the interview, and Mr. Parker woiituwuy feeling considerably depressed with the magnitude of the undertaking which he had on Ins hands. He ft-lt certain lhat It ba could only Bod this Dounelly or Dtnohut, II IM case might be, hesbould .1. sever sumo clew lo the whereabouts of Mrs. Brownlow The moro ho thought it over the more ho became convinced of that theory and thn more be felt that he had made a lav , ruble start in hi inquiry. His Urst step towards lluding out when thil woman was wu to go to Yonkert. He via. ( iled every family of either name iu tht town, but learned nothiug whatever con cerning the woman. Ho could not even dis cover that any took woman hud ever lived there. It took him nearly two weeki to come to the conclusion lhat in Youkora Iktra was no ntoW whatever to tho mystery which he was end -avoring to ferret out. Then he determined to visit in a similar way ull the towns along the river between New York ami a point from forty to tlfty miles to Hi" north Ho began with tho set tlement included in tho city limits, like Bpnjrten DuyrU. Kromttpuyten Duyvil he worked bii way gradually north, and when tlu-iHi Week had paattd he had scoured the river sett lenient! and had found absolutely nothing. Then ho returned to tho city and spent u day or two iu rest and looking after ha btttittat, which was Buffering aadly from ncg i ', t. When ho began to think i over I ho case again it occurred to him that he bad nude an egregious blunder: he hail not taken iato account at all the fact that Mrs. Brownlow opera cloak had beeu found in the nvcr. " What un us 1 was,'' he exclaimed, im patiently. "Here have I been searching"!! Hi" cast s f the Hudson lor four pre- ei u week, when the plainest evidence in lh" case shows that Mrs Brownlow crossed the nver before starting elsewhere. Now. whether sho niel her death while creasing the river or sm after getting to tho other nle, of oaafM I can not ay, but I shall not I take another step in the matter until I cou ' s.der what might have happened had she crossed the river " Therefore he set his an ii ytical p nver at work again and reasoned that if she had crossed the river, a un doubtedly ue act out to do, aim must havt had mm point iu view to wh.ch he want ed to go. The hypothesis that she wa going to aeclude herself at the house i f her old -ri ant tMtk in Mr. Parker' head in apite of himself "She mul have known," be aid to hirascif. "where tni woman lived; or, if not this woman, she mui hive known where she wo going. Sho would not have set out blindly, not even iu her rage, upon a journey without having aome plan in her mind, even if it hod u,t been formed until he had reached the aidewark of her house after leaving her husband." The upthot of hi reasoning wa that h ecu. ej periuisi n ji oa, to examine Mr. Brownlow correspondence A large bundle of letter were turned over to him and bo soi about inspecting their poet mark and Ihe handwriting on tM en velope. All thow that ware postmarked from citiea or town at distance were un mediately- caat aside, and of all thoae thai coma from pasta m thi immediate vicinity he did aot top to read any whoM auper tcripttoa wa paruc-alarty legible or which IK . . ..... il, writer wa in M. e.ved in IU .l.l.ov.....-- tl. habit of letter wriang.

The iKistmurk was badly blurred, but, looked at upside down, crosswise a id in every other way imaginable, Mr. Parker thought that be OOUld n'O that it wa Yotlk tra. He read and re-read the letter, and wondered how il could be that in ull his , patient searching through Youkeraho hud not discovered u:iy trace of thi woman. It was evident that the letterfad been written Wilkin a year, because it said: "I have heard lb it jroll Wore m imed," aud Mrs BrownkTW'O marriago hail uot occurred more than a year previous to her disappear ance. So engrossed was tho luwyer iu Ihiajdng oror this photo of the case that he forgot for a momenl that two other letter I in the pile that ho had laid out remained to lie read Igs'king them over he foit id lhat one wtt iu the same hand us that which he had just b ."'a reading, and on thut the pod murk was plait.

"Why ln,thunder," exclaimed Mr. Parker, when he hod read this letter, "does not I ho woman say Where the is and how to ge' there!

Mr Parker took out the second letter, in which Mary Donneliy hail said that, she had not told Mrs Brownlow wLetc to write, aud lo .kcd at it igatoi "it must be, then," laid the lawyer, "that aim used the Youkers sjst office and the Youkers market) while sho lived mint, n-hero els.-.'' fVt.

He looked out torott the chilly waters to tho bleak padiedet on the other side, md xiuld see hero and thero Utile houses aOttllng against the rock, widely BCNai'atcd from MOh other und apparently out of retch of civilization iu every direction. In front was the wide river, across which no ferry regularly run, uud back of them were the Bleep p iiisudcs, un impassable w-all of elid rock Ihree hundred or four hundred feel high 11 went to the ivnarye und hunted up t place where there wore boat to lot. To the keeper he said: "Do you Jver hate OOOOttoO to take passenger across the river to any of th iso houses on the other tide!" Mil. yet," said the man, cheerfully, "once in t While.

" Y'ou jusl wait here about two tceoads," he said, "and I'll have a boat for you." Tlie ' wo second proved to be about ten nn. iiites, which Mr Parker passed dialing with excitement. Wnen ihe boaVman came around again he said: "Do you know the name of the people who lu o over there I" "No." ho said, "I don't know those thai lire in that particular house, ultliough they have been there a longtime; I never hap pened to inquire, but perhaps one of my men may know Hi, Jim," he went on. " hat I tho name of that Woman that you took oyer the other side thi morning!" "SaxatP1 drawled the assistant "Dunnel ly. 1 think." "All right," said Mr. Parser, "now you get mo across to the other sido justaa quick a you can. ' Bending his arms to the oar tho boatman s?nt the smaii craft living over the wintry - a c of the river, and Mr. Packer aat in the stern and held the tiller roue. . . . t It wo about two o'clock ou the afternoon of the day that Mr. Parker went to Yorker the last time that toe major of New York C.tv, sitting to hia oOee overwhelmed with business, waa told by the policeman wh guarded the door that a woman wanted le see him What doe the want! ' acted tbe mavor "l don't know, dr. but I auppoae it ia ome complaint about a policeman or health inspector. She poorly dressed and baa a j letter in Mr hand." I Tbo mayor looked it hit correspondence i d at hi watch and said i "Weil, ehow her no tou riEn ntvt on ision to take i-a- IIMIKH ACHOtll" When the woman wa presented to the rmivor he tremblingly laid a letter on hi desk and aid : "Mr. Mayor, if vou will please to read thii, I tbliik you will ico that u great inju.tice ha. been done that you can make right." Tho mayor opened the letter without n word. A be read hit browi contracted and an expresiion of inciedul ty came over hi face. This is what lie read : "Mn. Mayoh: lhavo just tint daylearncd that my hushnd ht tv-en convicu-d of mur der; and, a. I underatand tho matter, I nm b: nc-tim I am too 111 to come in person to th i city, but the bearer w 11 tell you where I am, and will take you or an officer to me. She wdl also exululu my story and cDrumttunce.. He tpectfully, LiONiniA Buownlow " "Who gave you this letter, madamef" asked the mayor, sharply. "Mrs. Brownlow, sir," she responded. "8he ha been itnupiug nt my house, ophi dic Youker, for a long ume, uml has been very lick. She came unexpectedly u.iu night, or rather murning, for she had walaed tlmoit all tho wny. Wo never soo the paper, and never knew whMhad hap pened until I beard smim people n Youkers talking about tho huuguig of it riok man as would take place aoon." Thn mayor was punled. lie did not be lieve the story at all, thinking It a shrewd invention of Brownlow' friitid to gain time. Alter a few minutes' thought to summoned the district attorney, uud to gether they listened to tho woman' atory. " It ii a tualtor," said the district attorney, "that needs attention, at uny rate. If it is a schetno eoiicoc-.cd in behalf of Brownlow by his friend or Lawyer Parker, we must dis cover who is responsible and bring him or them to justice." Then turning to the woninii, who said her name was Mary Donnelly, be snid : "I will have an officer accompany you to your home." instead of sending an ofl' -er with thr woman, Mnry Donnelly, to lior house, she was locked up iu tho Routs) of Detention us a witness, uml two officer Were tent 00 the errand without her. The poor WOttuM pro tested in vuiu aguinsl this treatment at the hands of the law. Thedistric! attorney uml the chief of police thought that the mutter was altogether too inisirlunt lo allow such a witness to escape over the borders into j toother State. The officers, instead ol go ing to Yonkcr to get ui Mary Donnelly'l house, crossed Ihe ton into New Jersey, lud ufter a short railroad rule engaged a I carriage to tako them lo 'bat point of the 1 palisades thut overhangs the river near Youkers. There, afler crossing private grounds, they came to a path down Ihe cliff made up of stone steps und patches of wooden siuirwuy thut zigzagged hither uud you across the rocks until ll reached thl i Dottom. There they were wilhin a few ' fen of the river, und a short wulk along I the banks brought tbcm to u low whito house nestling against the rocks. Their knock at the door was immediately an swered by no less aporson that Mr. Henry Parker. He was not surprised to seo them, and directed them at ouco into one of the few Binall rooms of the house, where the ol Accra, to their intense astonishment, found Mrs. Buownlow lying weak but conva lescent upon a couch. Tho story ol her flight and remarkable disappearance was soon told. Alter her quarrel with Mr. Brownlow upon the even ing ol tho I4lh she hud genu to her room in u desperate Iraino ol mind. It was her intent to go away for it few duys and com pel her husband to ue for her pardon. Sho baked through her Idlers and found three from her old servant Mary Donnelly. Ono of them, roiitaiuing the woman's uddrcai '.v nr. ki. tut orricstis, to tuliu istensi leTOXIMaUXT. and the description of how to reach her home, she put in her pocket. Tho others the left in her bureau, where Mr. Purkei tubsequently found them. Withthese inula small sum of money in her hand shesturted out of the house, but she had not gone mure than a block before she realized Ihut she was ill prepared in dress for such a jour ney. Not knowing whM to do the Hopped a: a sir,- i corner for a moment in confu sion. There she wus approached by a poor ly dressed woman who begged for charity. On the impulse of the moment Mrs. Brown low exchanged her costly opera cloak for tho woman's cheap but large shawl. Thil garment o disguised her that no one whom she met on the journey suspected for a mo ment that sho was really in full evening dress. The cloak afterwards found in thl river may be accounted for iu any way that suit the reader. The police believed that the woman to whom il was given com mitted suicide, aud it is probable that the body found and identified as that of Mrs Brownlow was iu reality none other than that of the woman to whom the ciouk hud been given. Mr. Brownlow, trnving at the railway stall. ui nearest to the pouit where Mart Donnelly lived, boil not ventured lo tukci carriage 8he felt like concealing her re treat and hod already become somewhat tartied and shanied of hercoume. So h j Wklked a long aud dreary tramp througt the night, and it was uol uutil curly morn ing that he filially found her way down tht leep and rickety sUirsof the cliff to Hit home where Mary Donnelly lived. Tht strain and exposure consequent to hei flight hod thrown her into a distressing ill ne, and the scanty mean for providing against uch a calamity in the houte, aud her absents- from her husband, tended t make her recovery all the more low. Still, Jhe absolutely forbado her old servant tc notify Mr. Brow uio w or uay of her relative! of her mtuaiion. It wot her intention, at oon aa ihe thould recover, to make bet way back borne and explain every thing Time bod pasted, however, dty tfter dy, saritbout tabstantial progress being mode, and ta tbe people under tbe cliff never aaw a newspaper and rarely met any body from the outside world, no new came to them ol Mr Brownlow .arrest, trial and conviction.
