It was the "return" half of a first class railway ticket from London Bridge to Croydon. It was tolerably clean; it must have l,en thrown away or dropped, . soon after it was i-sued, and picked up soon aiter it was thrown away. A sus picion which had begun to creep upon me when first I looked at it shot up 1 w ith startling suddenness when I turned . it over and read the date stamped on i its edge "Mar 15 82." This ticket had !een found by the old man in Lacroix Lane: had the person : who had lost or dropped it there been ' the same as the erson who had bought it in London? If he had, had he been , a resident in Timperley? In a word had the person leen Mr. Lacroix? It ! was impossible to say, until alter such inquiry as I saw little chance of Wing able to make; for though visitors to CHAPTER VIII. 3oth Miss La -roixand myself waited impatiently for news irom Freeman in London. Trom day to day I exacted a letter; and day after day, when I met her either in Jacques's cottage or in the littie clotigh beyond Timperley Hall, I had to tell her that no letter had come. She quickly began to siiow signs of that heart sickness, w hich in the young is so ready to follow upon the steady, indefinite postponement of hope. In my efforts to encourage her I encouraged myself also to Wieve that an Overruling Power was holding this mystery in hand for some great purpose, only to reveal it eventually with the more force and effect. One evening when I met her in the dough we were both startled and silenced by the clear, full note of a bird a liquid "joug-joug." "Is it a thrush?" I haid in a whisper. She listened breathless, almost pant ing, with joy. "Oh," she whispered, at length, "it is a nightingale it is a nightingale;" and, poor girl, she actually sobled.

The end of my six months' curacy was almost at hand, but, since my re cent discovery, I was resolved I would still remain at least in the neighbor hood of Timperley. I went first to the rector, who was not yet well enough to resume his duties, in the hope that I might prevail upon him to iet me con- ! tinue to fill his place for some time longer. I was surprised, and somewhat piqued. to hear that it was entirely out , of tiie question, localise another curate I had already been engaged. "A young man from St. Bee's," said :he rector. "Mr. Steinhardt says we i mast have no more clever men in Tim perley. I would nave liked you very well to stay, but you know you see it can't lie. If I can do anything for you " I said, since I could not stay in Tim perley, I wi-hed to get a curacy some where in the neighborhood. The rec tor looked at me in a way which made ! me doubt whether I had been wise to j tell him my desire. However, he ' answered he would eee what he could , do. ; Steinhardt, it was evident, expected me to go away, back to the south prob ab y, since I disliked Timperley so much; but I metaphorically shook my Croydon evidence at him and more ob stinately resolved not to go away. !

But I was soon startled into the perception of their cause. Loui-e and I had got into the habit of meeting frequently (as I have already hinted) at the cottage of old Jacques: ne were still waiting for news from King's Cross, and we did not know whether the letter was to le sent to me, or to Feenian, or to Miss Lacroix. Louise met me one morning in great alarm and hurriedly told me the ex pected letter had come, but addressed to Mr. Lacroix that Steinhardt there fore had opened it, naturally exacting to find it a business communication! He brought it to her, and asked if she knew what it meant. She read it;, it was short, and to this effect: The guard who had had charge of the 8 o'clock express on the evening of March the lflth. 1882, had been found and in terrogated: he could not remember anyone answering to the description of the missing gentleman. He might or might not have traveled by that train, h t it really seemed impossible to as certain at that distance of time. 5 VISS.

HOUSE ON A ROOT. GETTING BOARD IN BOSTON. The Applicant Must Puns a Most Rigid Examination. Until one has tried, the difficulties of obtaining a boarding place in some of the very beautiful, but conservative suburbs of Huston are not realised. Vou can pass a civil service examina tion or obtain a life Insurance policy more easily. A young Boston news paper man, who had decided to ex change the excitements of the cl",y for the quiet simplicity of the country, sallied forth bravely one day recently, but returned to town wondering If he looked like a second-story burglar or ! a sneak thief, owing to the rigid cross questioning he had received from sun- dry timid house holders.

One ! gray-bearded gentleman, liviug in beautiful old-fashioned house not tar from Koxbury, proved to be the prize inquisitor of the lot. He placed the applicant on the rack for an hour aud a half, firing questions nt him with . Maxim-gun rapidity. When the late Li Hung Chang was in this country ' he was noted for the strangely per sonal questions he asked nil the people he met.
