LITTLE, Special Agent, - mA T r.ontinned to watch suggested, - "The jerk of the train BY FRANK BARRETT. From tbe Courier-Journal. Hinton took the tickets as. the train was running into the station; in hastily snatching up the change a lialf-sovereign slipped frorn his fingers. " It took us a Couple of min utes to find it then IH'e Tram was lost. "Three-quarters of an hour towait in this hole," Hinton groaned. "Bet ter walk over the hills to Chorley. The train is due there at 9:15; we can do it easily." We did it a little too easily; tbe train was in sight before we reached Chorley. Ve leapt over the railings and ran along the line; the train passed us at the Bignal box and we overtook it as it came to a stop. The last carriage wasa third class; a young- lady, leaning through the open window of the end compart ment, looked toward us anxiously. "Will you be good enough to open he door?" she asked, as we drew near, we totn stoDned. iimton brushed past me to render the ser vice; he was younger than I, his gallantry was boundless, and the present appeal to it was made" by one of singularly preprossessing ap- peanfnee. It was not a common face that smiled down on us, show ing a long of row dazzling teeth, a white, sensitive nose, an intelligent forehead, from which the hair was drawn back assertively, and a pair of dark gray eyes, capable of any thing; not a common figure that stood revealed when the door was opened tall, graceful, simply ele gant, and dressed with faultless taste, and the first question that mystified me wag how such a lady came to be traveling alone in a third class carriage and at this early hour. She stood in the open door in em barrassment that added a charm to her face. The platform did not ex tend to this carriage. The depth to th& ground was cousiderable, the step awkward. She put out one neatly booted foot and drew it back hastily ; all the time she kept her hands close in her muff, which made the descent still more imprac ticable. With a faint tinge of color in her pale cheek, and her fine eyes twinkling with vexation, she said "May I ask yon to help me; 1 have hurt my hands; they are use less." In a moment we were on the foot board, one on each side, helping her to descend. As I glanced along her arm I caught tbe glimpse of a blue-ish-black. metal inside her sealskin muff. She wore an iron bracelet Was it an eccentricity of fashion, or a surgical appliance, I wrondered. It was to Hinton she smiled her sweetest acknowledgment ; and when in parting she bowed to us both, her .eyes rested last and long est upon him. We stood by the open door watch ing her as- she walked up on to the platform with an elastic, gracefu step. "Now then, sir, are you going on ?" called the guard with his whistle raised At that moment the young lady turned rounds and seeing us stil standing by the door, smiled be witchingly, made a short step for ward, turned again, and , stopped fixing her eyes on Hinton, wba was scarlet to the roots of his hair was an1 invitation that my fiery young friend was not slow to ac cent "I shair come on by the. nex train, Jack," said he, and started a price to rejoin the facinating lady. The guard blew his whistle, and stepped, up mechanically, into th carriage closing the door, and never losing sight of my friend and th lady with the iron bracelet. He had his hat off, and was speaking to her J as the train whisked me by. They were both so pleasantly occupied with each other that they- took no station, and then I sat down and glanced around to see if there were any other occupant of the compart ment. Good God ! What was this at the other end, half on the ground, half on-the seat? I started to my feet and drew near the dark mass with growing terror, as I perceived. Jthat it was a police officer who lay hud dled together with one shoulder on the seat and his head dropped do wirf his upon his breast." His hehnet had dropped off ; when I raised his face I -found it perfectly colorless"; only the wriite of his eyes was visible through the half-closed lids. There was no sign of any wound, no blood upon hands or face. A white hand kerchief lay upon the seat. It seemed to me that the man had sud denly fainted. I. tried to raise him from his nosition. but the dead weight (he was a large man), was more than I could manage. The carriage was open from end to end the compartment divided simply by backs. There was only one other traveler in the carriage a navvy in the next but one com partment, with his back to me, and his head was out of the window that the short black pipe he was smoking might not be objected to. I called him twice before he heard me, and then taking his pipe out of his mouth and holding it in the hol low of his hand, he looked at me in yacant surprise. "Come over and help me," I call ed. "There's a policeman lying here dead." He spat out of the window, rose, and leaning over the back of the compartment, said : Beg your pardon, mister; there's ich a row. What did you sav ?" I repeated what I had said. "A dead policeman!'' he said his ittle eyes rounding with wonder. "Yes ; come over and help me lift him up. Nought me,' he said, his face set- ling with an expression of dogged objection. "I ain't goin' to have no ruck we' no dead p'licemans, no ear. l in a po r man, 1 am, and they'd have me off to the station'us soon's look at me, if I get messiiv myself up in that job, no fear," and with that he turned his hack on me, and sat down in an attitude of de termined neutrality. I made what efforts I could to re store life to the dead man, to call the attention of the guard, to rouse up the navvy to a sense of humanity, but all to no purpose. The train was express to London, and alone with my ghastly fellow-passenger I bad to wait the end of the journej. As the train ran into the terminus I called loudlvtoa porter oil the platform. It took the fellow a couple of minutes to overcome his astonishment. Then he did as I bade him, and ran off for assistance. Three minutes more passed before he returned with a couple of police men. By this time the navvy with a pick and shovel under his arm had staggered off, and escaped the perils that attend the poor man in such circumstances. While they weie getting the dead man on to the platform the inspec tor came over. After he had heard ray brief explanation he took out his note book and pencil saying he must have my nane and address. I gave them, and added that I was to be found during the day at Guy's Hospital. "If you are a medical gentleman you may perhaps be able to tell the cause of death," he said. "Heart disease, I should say." "Where did you get in, sir?" N "Chorley." "Was there anyone in the com partment besides yourself ?" "No." "Anyone get out there?" "A. lady." "Did she say anything, about this?" "No." He put the pencil between" his teeth reflectively.

That will do. sir, thank you. I expect you will be summond to attend the inquest." The platform was empty; the ticket collector had come up to sat isfy his curiosity. As I was going away he said, "Your ticket, sirr" I gave him my ticket ; as I turned the corner by the barrier I saw him showing it to the inspector. to be continued. . m. . . ffis Faith. Shattered. .

"Well, papa, they say there ain't any Santa Claus ; that it's not true ; they aint any such thing. Papa, there is a Santa Claus, ain't there ?" The father thought a moment. Then he concluded he would tell the child the. truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So he took him on his knee and told him how it was a pretty fabrication made up by, fathers and mothers who loved their children to make them happy, and the fathers and mothers were the real Santa Claus. The small boy listened in silence. This was a shock to him, because I sup pose, like older and more inexcu sable people, he felt he had been making a painful exhibition of his ignorance. He slid down from his father's knee and walked across the room to the door. Ho opened it and stood holding the knob for a moment in a kind of deep thought. Then he turned and looked at his father.
