back to my books.
Absorbed b) my occupation, tlie time
passed unnoticed, till tho chiino of a dis
tant clock 'reminded n.c,of my engages
ment. .
Half-past seven ! No doubt of x ami
I had only just time to reach (he station.
But slay what was tire weather?1
I walked to tho window, devoutly
hoping as I drew.aaido the civtaiu to see
a clear dry night. Vain hope! The clouds
were gathering, and there was u damp,
chili mist perceptible.
I dropped the curtain with aigh,hati
ly put away my books, took up Lottie's
waterproof rom the chair on which site
had p'aced It, and slopping into (ho hall,
out on a loose rough overcoat and soft
Ii It hat that I often wore after dark, and
tliimq'ii-)ed, sallied forth.
Eight o'clock 8tru :k as I anircd, and 1
taw, close at hand, a young lady evi
dently my sister Lottie, standing at tho
edge of (ho roa?l.
i'Ahl' 1 said to myself, live (rain was in
a litilc earlier., ami Miss Lottie is 1 Joking
for me.' " '
I was just about to speak to her, when
a sudden thought fl ished into my ' mind.
Assho s took, her back was toward me

porluniiy of convincing her of its wis
dom.' . ' . ; '
First takitig another look at the uus
eoiicijii8 damsel to be sure of her iden
iity. J itepiicd quivtly lorward, and
taking hold oi the handkerchief, gently
drew It (orth. ;
As I did'so, soinelliing fell to (he pave-
with a sharp metalic sound. This startled
the rout.g lady, and she turned with a
slighj cxelauiatioii. , " '
Good hcaveus, it was a pertect stran
ger.
For a moment I was speechless; then r
recovcriiig myself a little, was about to
l amine r forth uu apology, when t heavy
liand was laid bu my saoufder, find a

While he was speaking, I gathered to

.'Iassure yon iHiliceiuan, yon are en
tirely mistaken,' I said, as . calmly ' as I

I gave an account of (ho whole off dr.

taking any notice of my. demand to be

dy. .'' . . ,
She gave her uamo'as Margaret Lind
say, and having related her hare in the
mailer, with evident discomlort at find
ing herself in so uupleasvnt a position,
concluded oy expressing her xoiivicliou
that it was all a mistake.
'Well Mr. Henderson,' said tho ser
teant, 'I must detain you wile 1 send to
ilie address you have given, and it will
simplify matters it Miss Lindsay w i I Jbe
good enough lo remain for a short titno'.
We" shall l Leu no doubt be able to settle

ihe podceman who still lingered near the
door 'show this lady into the other
room Jones Mr. -Henderson will oc
cupy No. 8.'
I followed mv original captor, while
my fair companion disappeared through
an open doorway close at hand, which,
as I passed ii nQ rded me a glimpse of
a snug room wit bin.
For my own part I was by uo means
charmed with No. 3.
It might by a stretch of the imagina
tion, have been called a room, but had a
wondcrfu' resemblauae to a cell, con
slrucled on a somewhat larger scale than
usual.
Here Mr. Jones left me, closing -tb
door carefully alter him. Seldom , has
lime passed so wearily. '
Aboul a quarter ol an hour elapv?d,
and then there came a sudden uoiso of
cab wheels, a hasly rnth el footsteps
and a scuud of voices in the outer room.
I listened intently and rtcognizd Lot
tie's toues, mingled with, and now and
then overpowered by those orour rever

At this moment my door was. open"d
by Mr. Jones, in whoso manner there
w as an obi ions mingling 'of discomfort
and appivheuslon,
I passed hastily, leaving his muttered
And looking round, I saw a police mavH t& t0 fll0 no( t0 hard on a man,'
unheeded, and entered tho .room whci
the others were assembled.
.Oh. 'I'omP cried" Lottie running np
me; 'what a dretdful plight jou have
been in, and all my fait,' she added In a
penitent tone;' 'The Haiti was in early
and 1 didn't see you just out side li e

father started to abuse the officer.
My dear sir ' began ihe ergeaul,

are ao frequent that we ere compelled to

As it appeared however, that Miss
Lindsay's residence was not fur from
our own, a second hansom was procured,
which I managed to secure for her and
tnyscif, Lottie and my father relurniug
in the one by which they had come.
Somehow or other, the ride seemed a
remarkably short one, and as 1 said
good bight !' to Margaret Lindsay at her
own door, I resolved that it should not
be my fault if our acquaintance did uol
continue.
This resolve I was ab'e lo sarrv out.
