Montgomery did take aome dinner, keeping up i running fire o f eerreaui ell the time, which greatly disconcerted hie hoot, but affected Judith not a t all; for '! phe felt convlrced that he had »erne «ob ject o f mutual interest in view, o r,h e would not be there. “ N o w ," said Montgomery, after he had got himself Into a more genial mood, “ suppose we proceed to business; fo r I guess that yop begin to think 1 am not here altogether fo r pleasure, much aa 1 lore yon. But, ahl I forgot; you are too pious to transact business on a Ban d a y!" “ There are exceptions to all rales, yen know," grinned hie host. “ Th at is to any, yon don't object to bustseas when anything's to be got by It— on any day. Thia is your adver tisement. Isn’t it?” he went on, with a sadden change o f tone, and producing n newspaper from his pocket. ▲ leak' o f eager Interest come late Judith’s face, and her father began to brighten up as he answered. “ Yes.” “ Very well, then; I know where to pat my hand upon the lad at thie vary n o “ Yon d o r cried the listeners both to gether. “ I do. But before we go any fa r ther, I hare two conditions to make. In the flint place, yon most make a clean breast to me o f everything yon know concerning this youth. You must toll me your motives fo r hunting him down; and, lastly, i f them in anything to be got, which I am certain there is by the trou ble you are taking. - I must have a y 0MMMMMPPM akara.” ,~.r -- Pro« sating that he would apeak rim ply the bare truth, Mr. Porter proceeded to relate the same story that ho had told Silas, suppressing, however, the mention o f the locket. H e knew that i f he could once come face to face with Silas’ friends that locket would be aa all-powerful lever to raieo the price o f his silence. T e the narrative, however, he added other particulars— toiling how, when he had gene np to the city upon certain busi- mean o f his own. ho had aeon the woman who had committed the child to hie rare rem ing out o f the offlee o f Masers. Fogle 0c Quick; how he had followed her and b a u d bar ask for a ticket for a certain station in Hertfordshire; how he had taken a ticket for the earns place, and got out upon tko same platform. “ And her destination was a mansion ¿ a iled *0110 W illow s?’ ” put in Mr. Mont gomery. “ You see, I know e little,” be added, in answer to the narrator's aston ished look; “ so be cautious.” - l H er destination was “ T b s W illows.” H a had loitered about the neighborhood, la the hope o f gleaming aome intelli gence; but ell he could learn w ee that Che women's name was Madame Berne; that she was housekeeper and conflticn- tlal friend to Mr. George Morant, the tWman who resided at “ Th e WU- s;” and that those .tw o. with the Servant, constituted the entire heueehold. i ’‘ Nevertheless. 1 had learned quite enough to tell me that M u te r Silas w u • family tecret that might turn out un common profitable one day.” he cnuclrd- bd. “ But how did yon contrive to track is woman without being recognised? Dur face, once seen, is not easily for gotten.” | "W ell, you ace, 1 was vary cautious, and kept at a good distance behind her — except when I had to press clone at the ticket offlee, to overhear what place she a eked for. Then I pat my handier1 chief np to my face, as though I had the toothache. And ehe never oore looked tigh t or left aa the walked, hot stalked straight along, with her eyoa right be fore her. Well, that Silas had not l*olt- rd more than a month, when 1 got a let te r from Fogle A Quick, to say that he was come Into an annuity, and I was to send him up to their offlee at once.” “ But I cannot perceive what hold you have upon this youth. W hat is the se rious chargs you threaten to bring against him?” “ W eil, ha carried away a ault of Clothes with him, for one thing,” u id M r. Porter. “ Th e other thing la for deserting hie w ife!” “ Deserting his w ife!” echoed Mont gomery, in a load tone o f astonishment. “ Do you mean to say he is married?” “T o Judith there.” ' Montgomery was struck speechless with astonishment, and. for a moment, could only stare with the moat bewil dered o f expressions. which quickly merged Into one of intense satisfaction. “ More food fo r revenge upon that woman.’’ was hi« first thought. “ W ell, yon have astonished me thia time!” he cried. “ But 1 should have thought Silas Cars to li wss the last man in the world that Judith would have selected. Rather • hasnrdoua apec to risk that much on the fellow ’ s probabl# marketable value.

Ha seems to have a weakness for golden hair,” he added, glancing sarcarticaily at Judith's red tresses. “ This girl baa the moat----- - That reminds me------ No. such a coincidence could never occur out o f a novel." “ Oh, the depravity o f the human heart!” snuffled the Rev. Obadiah P o r ter, forgetting himself fog. an instant, bat the color bad again flushed up into Judith's face, and thers was a dangerous look In her eyes. " I met your old friend, Rodwell. the other night,” said Montgomery, sudden ly looking np. " W e were talking about you." Jndtth became excited. It was a chance shot, but Montgomery perceived It had told. A fte r a moment's deliberation he aaid. fifin g hia gaae upon her. “ I know you • r e pretty well versed In Rod well’s se crets. I)o you know anything about a girl with bright golden hair, bine eyes, end fa ir complexion— a relation. I should fancy, by what ks has told ms? I see you do, by your glances. Well, he has net me on the hnnt for this girl, who ever she la, end I believe I have acci dentally discovered her. I will tell you ^sv. Somehow er ether, I have felt K S a strange interest in this Silas Canton. W ell, o f lata he has grown wonderfully spruce in his style; added to which, he ie frequently out the whole day no one knows w hen. Now, putting ell these signs together, I began to think, in the language o f 8hahspeare, “The sweet youth's in love.' Being naturally of a curious disposition, I thought I would watch my gentleman's movements. W ith some little difflcolty I discovered hie destination, and aaw him standing at the window with hia arm very lovingly round a young girl's waist. I got into conversation with the servant next door, and taunted a few particulars; but until thia moment it never occurred to me that this girl precisely answers to the de scription given me by Rod wall. It's the same, and I have killed tw e birds with one stone!” Long and earnest was the conversation that enauad between the trie. But it ia not necessary to repeat it In thia pines. Both Its explanations and rasults will appear hereafter. C H A P T E R X X I. Between six end seven o’clock on the next evening, an elderly man. dressed like a gentleman farmer, hastily entered the shop o f a picture d**ler, situated in the W est Bud, and asked, in a nervous, impatient manner, to inspect aome very pretty water-color drawings that .were in the window. Th e shopman produced them. Instead, however, o f examining the picture ttoelf, the gentleman seemed chiefly Interested in the back o f It. It was growing dunk, and ho carried the picture to the doer and carefully exam ined the blank surface at tks bask. In one corner wee faintly inscribed In pen cil the w o r d “ Clara.” W ith an axclamation of pleasure, end a brightened face, be went beck to the counter, and asked the shopman for the address o f the painter. The young man hesitated. “ I beg pardon, air," he said; “ but it ia not usual to give the addresses o f tbs ladles and gentlemen who work for ns without their permission.” L e t me see your master,” aaid the g sot Isms n, sharply. Ia a few minutes the principal himself come forward. ” 1 wish to purchase all the drawings yen bars by this artist, and at tbs same time to be favored with her address. I am not asking this for tha gratification o f idle curiosity. The lady I believe to be e very near and dear member of my family, whom I . have lost sight o f for several years— whom I believed to be dead. F ive days ago I was looking In at the window o f a picture dealer’s in the Strand, when I saw exposed for sale a water-color painting, representing my own cottage down in Suffolk. I have just such a picture at home, and there was a peculiarity o f touch about this one that led a a to believe, wild as the thought seemed then, that both were the work of one kand. I went into the shop, sad purchased the picture. I was not deceived. Inscribed in a com er at the back was the word ‘Clara.’ But the salesman could give me no information about tha artist; they had bought it about two y e a n ago, with several others, ot*B young girt whom they had never seen since. M r nephew dined with me that day, and I told him o f the kircum- stance. Ha at ooce requested the affair to be left in hia hands. H e came to my hotel lest night to tell me that ho had inquired, and caused others to inquire, of every likely picture dealer, but had not met with tha slightest success. A s this was my last day In the city I thought I would taka a look round the picture shops myself. I have been about all day, and was just about to give up my search in despair when I caught sight' o f these. I thought they looked like her work, and, sure enough, here is her *1*- nature I d the corner. Yet, stay a mo ment; to make assurance doubly sure, I will show you her likeness, painted some six years ago. You will be then able to tell me whether It is the same.” H e produced the ideuticsl miniature that Silas had found in Little Bethle hem, and which. It will be remembered, he had left in a pocket o f the clothes deposited with Mr. Jonathan Rodwell. The shopkeeper hesitated no longer, bnt at once handed over to him the re quired address. The gentleman’ purchaa- ed the pictures at a very handsome price, got Into a cab that the shop boy had fetched fo r, him. and drove away in the direction o f the northwest. H e arrived at Mrs. Wilson's about 8 o’clock, and knocked at the door. Ta his inquiries, the servant replied, “ Miss Clara has gone with mia«is to the play house; and f do not expect she will be home until late.” “ Does she frequent place* of amuse ment much? la she often out o f an evening T” “ Oh, dear no; thia ia the first time I have ever kuown her to go; she is never out late.” “ HoW unfortunate! But t must see her to-night, at whatever hour she may return. I win come back at twelve.’’ Mary looked very much astonished at the idea of such a late visit. Mr. Jona than Rodwell ordered the cabman to drive to the nearest hotel, where be en gaged a bed and waited impatiently the passing away o f time. A t 12 o'clock he knocked again at Mrs. Wilson’s door. They had not re turned. “ Wonld Mary permit him to come In and wait?” M ery did not like the idea of admitting a stranger at such an hour, and she slone in the house. "B u t ks looks a gentleman,” ah« thought, “ and hs is old enough to be my father.” “ Don’t be afraid; I am not a burglar, my dear,” said Mr. Jonathan, smiling, and slipping a coin into her hand. H e walked into the parlor, and Mary lit the lamp. One o'clock by hie watch, and still they bad not come. H s was growing nneasy; ha copld not sit still; he walked up and down tha room, with kia watch in hia hand, coanting the min utes. The rumble o f wheels at last. H e ran out to the door; the night was dark, he could not perceive any object; but faster and faster, nearer and nearer, came the roll o f the wheels, until they •topped before the house. C H A P T E R X X II. The reader will probably ssmber that Monday night had been fixed be tween Olerm, myself and Mrs. Wilson for our visit to ths theater. Ha\lng had to wait a very unreasonable tlmg for the old lady to complete her toilette, we did not arrive until nearly half-past sev en. A magnificently mounted spectaeu lar drama was at the time in the height o f its popularity; the consequence wee that when we presented ourselves at th« pit pay-place we were Informed that every seat was full. A t the upper boxes -ere were reeel ved with the same Ultima tion. On the opposite side o f the road wee a row o f billboards o f various theaters. W s crossed over to read them. “ Here ie the play, my dear,” cried Mrs. W il son, suddenly; “ the 'Lady of Lyo n s’ I saw it the very first night, it was per formed, and a lovely play it is, too. You w ill be delighted with it. Let me eee which house it is at. Ths Corinthian. Oh, that ia does by. W s can get there in a few minutes.” I did not like this arrange incut. Since I had seen Mr. Rodwell thers, I desired to avoid the Corinthian; besides which, I might encounter Joeiah, or Mr. Mont gomery, which would be awkward; for, aa 1 have before mentioned, neither Clara nor Mrs. Wlleou knew anything o f my theatrical employment Rat as I could offer no plausible objection to Mm. Wilson's proposition. I was fain to quietly acquiesce. So to the Corin thian we w en t During the whole o f the play Clara had bean rapt in an eratacy o f delight Th e novelty e f the situation, the bril liance end bustle o f the bouse, the de lightful music, the peculiar charm o f the etory that was being represented, its vivid reality, the passionate earnestness o f the actors, the enthusiasm o f every one around, fnd the heat o f the atmos phere— ell this was overpowering to n m*i bidly sensitive mind, totally uuused to excitement o f any kind. A » I was leaving my seat, with Clara leaning upon my arm, I noticed « stage box ta the upper tier. There, attentive ly observing us through • lorgnette, waa Mr. Redwsll. Aa quickly as possible, I turned away, filled with that vague, bod ing fear which always oppressed me at the sight o f that man. W e did net re turn to our first seat, but sat at the beck, where it was much cooler, to w it ness the remainder o f the performance. Presently a man came and seated himself in the rear o f us. I thought I recognised him as an employe behind the icenee, and I kept my back towards him lest hs should recognise me. A s the play drew towards a close I felt k hand laid upon my shoulder, sud on turning round, saw that this man had risen from his seat and was making slgnif to me. Clara and Mrs. Wilson were breathlessly Intent upon the scene, which was the, loot. I glanced at them, rose quietly and moved away without thkir being conscious of the movement. “ You are wanted behind,’’ said the men, in a whisper. “ Mr. Montgomery wonts yon directly. ' I f the ladies miss you, I w ill look to them till you come beck.” “ D o not tell where I have gone,” I said. I passed through the pit entrance and went round to the stage door. Mr. Montgomery had been playing an officer tn the previous scene, and was still in his stage drees. “ Oh! one o f the parts you copied in the new drama has been lost, and you will have to do another.” he said. “ W hit a moment, and I will bring you the MS.

In the course o f a lecture delivered In London recently Prof. Ogston said that a fte r many yeara o f medical ex perience am ong children he waa con vinced there w ere many in whom the tendency to sugar gluttony bad be come so strong lu their infatuation that It resembled the craving o f a drunkard fo r liquor, says the St. James Gazette. Such sac, haromanlaca showed early disappearances o f the teeth, and other gra ve trouble«. He thought future scientist« would place the evils o f sugar gluttony on a pedes tal a « conspicuous afi the drink ques tion as causing deterioration o f Indi viduals and races. Th e view s expressed by the eminent specialist, h ow ever sensational they may appear, are am ply borne out by facto, and medical opinion generally holds that the serious deterioration o f children Is directly attributable to the great consumption o f sw eets and to the ingredients o f which the bulk o f these arc compounded. A well-known doctor said that pure sweets in them selves, and taken moderately, would not be seriously harmful. But confec tionery was made so cheap nowadays that the poorest Ingredients and many dangerous chem ical* bad to be used. One o f the largest confectioners In London revealed the methods em ployed in the manuncture o f oh»ap -sweets by the unscrupulous firms In the east end o f I,ondon, who do a huge business in these goods at four ounce« a penny. “ There la a lot o f adulteration In the sw eet trade. unfortunately, and, strangely, It has never received proper attention. Cochineal Is used on a very large scale to color toffees and In the making o f several varieties o f drops. Tons o f the fruit sweets are quite in nocent o f fruit and are colored by chemical*. Chocolates are another lino which lends easily to adulteration, and some vile substitute* for the pure cocoa butter are In the market. “ Then these firms use cheap glucose, which, as has been found over and o ver again, contains arsenic or some other poloonons matter, and since brew ers have fought shy o f the ma terial, huge quantities o f Inferior gln- cooe have found their w a y to these back-stair* confectioners.
