He passed down Seventeenth street on the opposite side, and when he came to the block in which Mrs. Marvin re sided, he saw a single-horse carriage at the door. On inquiry, he was in formed that Mrs. Marvin was taken ill the day before; Dr. Melville was attending her. (Varnoe knew the doctor well, and called on him during the day. You attend Mrs. Marvin. No. South Seventeenth street?' asked he. I do.' 'What appears to be the ailment she is suffering from?' a uj aba tins itf uiotuttl vtuat it is,' replied he. 'There is a general lassitude of ber entire system at times that puzzles me. I asked her if she ever had . a trance? The question appeared to surprise her, and shr flashed her glorious eyes at me with a suddenness that almost startled me. She favored me with a brief but very scrutinizing glance, then smilingly asked why I asked such a question. I replied that 1 thought she had sym turns of such a tendency.' 'Nonsense, doctor, said she; I scarcely know what a trance is. I have never been seriously ill in all my life.'

Presently he begau to nod, and in an hour he was fast asleep in his seat.

J 'Of course returned the gentleman with a light laugh; an adventure is scarcely worthy of that term unless a woman is connected with it.' Alter some lurther conversation they sejarated. That evening, a. 8 o'clock, Varnoe visited Mr. Viucent, who led him into thn reading room, and when he was eated, asked: You are a professional detective?' '1 am.' 1 heanl your companion mention your name, which is familiar to me, as 1 was about to pass you, aud 1 con cluded at once that 1 might need your services at no distant day.' Then -Hie asked: 'You sw aud admired the lady that passed you last before 1 came up?' 'Yes,', replied the detective. 'Do you know her?' 'Mo, sir; at least, I think not, for I do not 'remember ever having seen her before.' - 'She is called Mrs. Agatha Marvin,' pursued Mr. Viucent, with a eculiar binile, 'ami resides at No. South Seventeenth sreet, somewhere; the number 1 have not been able to as certain yet.' 'Well,' observed Vartioe. 'Six mouths ago, this same lady at leasts so 1 think was called Miss Louisa Moore, aud resided in Louis city, 1 think it would be a aimcuit matter observed Varnoe, musingly.' I do not wish vou to. attempt such . 1 . m a I a thine, returned me genueraau. There is no necessity for that. I simply want you to detect them iu a similar trick. 'Then you think they will repeat the fraud?' 'I am sure they will not only once, but as often as they can do it with impunity replied Mr. Vincent. You 6ee, they, do not suppose they are suspected, hence they may act with perfect freedom, a$i repeat it many times. But I mar have a plan prepared for your approval when I see 1 .' . : tl. .t.:- i you to-morrow uigui ai una uuur. They met on the following evening, when Mr. Vincent appeared to be in the best of spirits.

I have no doubt she will die soon again, and then they will flit to another city and repeat the process, if not detected here aud exposed.' 'Have you seen her reputed hus band?' a'sked the detective. Yes, sir, replied Mr. V meet, a shade of perplexity crossing his face. It is not her brother, or, at least, I do not think it is the one who profess ed to be her brother; for the one I knew iu Louisville had light hair and blue eyes, whereas the one who calls himself her husband in your city has black hair and hazel eves; otherwise in his general appearance, he resem bles Elmer Moore, the lady's brother.' Still he may be the same person, observed Varnoe. I cannot see how it could be. re joined the other. 'Moore's eyes, I am positive, were blue. His hair might be dyed, but not so his eyes. 'We shall pass him by then for the present, and turn our attention to the lady remarked Varnoe. 'Pray let me hear your plan. '1 have no doubt, began Mr. Vin cent, 'that the lady will shortly be taken ill and die. Now, what I want you to do, Mr. Varnoe, is to assure yourself that the lady is really t'.e id, 11 you possioiy can mannage mat, or, if that is not feasible, have her grave watched every hour of the night after she is buried, and take into custody those who may attempt to rob the grave. What then? asked the detective. then you think she has trance symptoms?' asked the detective, deep ly interested. 'I am sure she has was the emphat ic reply. A peculiar smile came to t.ie de tective's lips for a brief moment Damming evidence against the lady was accumulating very rapidly, he thought, and he would not be surpris ed to hear of her death almost any day. Before the day closed he had Mr. Marvin pointed out to him, and sub sequently he managed to engage him iu conversation in reference to some railroad shares he wished to dispose of. While conversing with him, the sharp-eyed detective madetwo dis coveries, aud the blue grew stronger. In the evening he met Mr. Vincent at the St. Elmo, and reported what he bad learned. 'I have also made another discove ry said Varnoe. What is it?' 'Mr. Marvin, I think, must be your man. Miss Moore's brother, so called. 'But how do you account for the change in the color of his eyes?' asked Mr, Vincent. 'He wears a glass eye?' A glass eye?' echoed the other, 'hut one glas eye would not change both, woultl itr No replied Varnoe, 'but I had a accompaniment. Then the door was softly opened, and Mr. Marvin peeped into th room. A smile of satisfaction lit up his feat ures when he saw the nearly-emptied bottle: then, after listening awhile longer to the duet of stir res which was evidently pleasing to his ears, he boldly but softly stepped into the room, without closing the door after him. He approached the coffin and gazed at the face of the lady lying therein. then, turning to the two men, he said, in a low but distinct voice. 'Come, ray good fellows, this is watch ing with a vengeance. mere was, ol course, no response from either; one could not reply, the other would not. Next he shook each by the should er iu turn gently at first, then more roughly; but neither gave any evi dence of b.-intr disturbed. A grim smile of satisfaction appeared on his countenance as he muttered, 'Suc cessful so far.' He sileutly but swift ly left the room, and passed upstairs, aud immediately returned agaiu, but accompanied by a stout vouuc wo- man. Varnoe now watched their move ments closely. When he laid his head down upon the table he did so with his face to ard the coffin, and thus he was eua bled in the dim light of the room to watch them unobserved.

Varnoe held daily interviews with Dr. Melville, who" reported his patient as dangerously ill, but the nature o her ailment still remained a puzzle to htm. She declared that her mother, before she died of the disease of the heart, had precisely the same symp toms. - Will you hold a post mortem ex amination if she die?' asked Varnoe. 'For what purpose?' asked the doc tor, in surprise. 'To ascertain whether she is really dead, or only in a trance. 'Ah! that dermis on her husband's permission replied the doctor.
