I knew, however. how much depended upon my making myself useful to the firm, and so I determined to put my pride into my pocket. Before I left the office. I got my paper of in structions, aud returned home to read them, hav ing first obtained from the cashier, by Sir. Basker ville's orders, a sum suflicient to defray all possi ble expense, those of the young lady and her maid included. I found that I was to start for Dover by that night's mail and go by the first boat to Ostend. and thence to Antwerp. I was instructed to be very firm with Miss Vnldnnc, and was advised to avoid any attempts at intimacy on her nart. I was simply to be her escort, and s far as possible to relieve her of all trouble, sbe -would expect me, as a letter had been written torrs. Slater desiring her to send the young lady lo ntwerp, under charge of a servant. 1 rtrted, according to my instructions, by the nighty,- for Dover, and at one o'clock the next day foun ulVself at the door of the Hotel St. Anthome H Antwerp. I inquired if Miss Val dane had am.-,,,-, and was asked to step up to a drawing-roomNn tj10 gec0nd floor. No one was in the room wIiiJi.t etered, but in a few-minutes si respectable-looking middle-aged woman came in, and with an uxnresfaiou of anxiety on her countenance. , "Aro you tho gentleman from London, sic?'1 she said. T am," said I. ""When will it be convenient for. Miss Vaidate to set ot on her journey ?" "Oh, sir," sai( sho, "Miss Valdane is very un well and has beoi obliged to go to bed. This lias upset all the plaru that had been arranged, and I don't know what b do." "When did thislJness come on ?" T asked. "Why, sir, MissVaIdane seemed verv well when we left, but aj we got near Antwerp she complained of henddjho, and was obliged to go to bed directly after we ct to the hotel. The worst of it is,' she said, after Wuee, "that I must return by this evening's train' "The young lady hasher maid, I understand?" said T. 1 - "r 2' 'lit-' fi r ravt a iri storidx "Wfi , 1 MiU : fJiy iiilrstai XL.tm n-.f ;ie ij explara: . uis wi' J M' : f'n-..' rux u: "il vti w UiVm fii--..ike that Mr. iru : oi.s.

I accordingly dawdled away a half-hour on the pier, and then returned and found that we must start at once if we wished to catch tlw train. The two girls imrted in the most aflecHionate manner, Miss Manvers seeming more unused than ever at the extraordinary expression olancc tion indulged in by Miss Valdane, whose conduct would have "brought down the house" in a.melo drama.

Upon my askinger wiiut luggage sue nau, sue said "Just a portmanteau." "iNounng more;" saiu i. . "Not a thine." 7 Accordingly, I found a large portmnnteJi, which Mis3 Valdane said was hers. "Just see and have it jrtit into ourcompart ment," said she; "and, I sy, tell tlfouiard to let us have the carriage t. ourselves; foifro not afraid of me, aud J'm not afraid of youj' I was goinir to disregard this last ordir, as I had no wish whatever for a Me-a-Mr, but "onstantia came up ami gave it herself, together with half a crown, which had the ellfect which he desired.

Miss Valdane; it's very go of you, but I don't smoke." ,' "Mind It?" "Well, no," I said ; "not much." I starod blankly at her while she took acigar case out of her pocket, and, selecting one, Ighted it, aud settled herself comfortably in the SfU 1 sat as far as I couJd from her, and, lookhg out of tne window, tried to forget her. "oirre a v say," said she thing, man, and don't leave me laitguishiK here. Here we miht have a very pretty bit of lirting, if you would only say tit to my tat."
