" I demanded , with a sudden jeal- ous ¬ suspicion- ."Perhaps . I was ! " she answered loft ¬ ily. "I hope she will never be sorry that she chose wrong. " "I hope not ! " I assented cordially.- "A . real gentleman , " repeated Miss Woodward "as free-handed and free- spoken as a prince a gentleman who knows how to treat a woman , even if she is only a servant a gentleman I'd work my fingers to the bone for , and so would a good many more ! " "You did your best for him , " I could not help saying. "You have nothing lo reproach yourself with. ' " It was true , as Widdrlngton had raid , that all the women were fasci- nated ¬ by handsome , dare-devil Charlie. What wonder that Nona had felt his power ? I could only be thankful that the fascination had not gone deeper.- "No . ; I've nothing to reproach myself with , " the maid assented. "And I'll pray night and day for my young lady , that she may see her mistake before it- Is too late. " And with this parting shot the reso- lute ¬ virago marched sternly from the room without a word of farewell civil ¬ ity.I . finished my interrupted letters , and then sought Nona. She met me with a dismayed face- ."Such . a strange thing has happened , " the exclaimed. "Woodward has left at- a moment's notice. She would -not give any explanation of her going , only Bald that she was sorry to inconven- ience ¬ me. but circumstances obliged her to leave at once ; and she has " gone. "The most extraordinary proceed- ing ¬ , " chimed in Miss Elmslie. "I told Nona that she could insist upon Wood ¬ ward's remaining until she had found another servant If it had not hap- pened ¬ that a young girl from the vil- lage ¬ is at liberty to take her place at once , it would have been most incon- venient ¬ and awkward ; and Woodward was such an excellent maid. I suppose \ ' "WHERE'S THE YOUNG " she has had some quarrel with the servants and she never had a good temper. " "I wonder , " began Nona , and then stopped suddenly. . "What do you wonder " I asked- ."Nothing . , " she laughed , "only an odd idea of mine. " "Tell me your ideas ; I like to hear them all. " "I wondering whether Tillott's leaving had anything to do with Wood- ward's. - . I know she liked him , and thought him a great improvement on Charles ; but then he was so much younger. Of course it was very silly of- me to connect the two events. " "I don't know about that I think it was very sagacious of you , " I an ¬ swered- ."Then . there is something. What are you laughing at ? What is it ? " "You are right , my dearest. Wood ¬ ward's and Tillott's departures do hang together. " And then , Miss Elmslie having dis- creetly ¬ retired , I told Nona the whole story from beginning to end , only en- joining ¬ on her the secrecy which the dear little indiscreet" Miss Elmslie could never have been trusted to pre ¬ serve- .Nona's . astonishment was unbounded- ."What . a plot ! " she exclaimed. "It- Is like a book ; and Woodward , who seemed so quiet and so respectable , was helping it all. And that man Til- lott - was a detective. How strange it all is ! feel as if I were in a dream. The will was really stolen then , not lost , and and now I understand ; you puzzled me so when you persisted you had seen me at Molten , and that I had taken your bag. puzzled , and and a little angry" blushing.- "Yes . , you were thoroughly mysti- fied ¬ , " agreed.- "Oh . , I do hope , " said Nona , "that man , Widdrington , vrill never , never find Charlie poor Charlie , who was my playfellow and friend , and poor uncle's pet and darling , treated like a common thief. You will not allow it promise me you will not. " "It will not be so bad as that , " I as- sured ¬ her. "Of course he must be made to surrender will. However , we will not talk about him any longer. This is my last evening , you know , and I have a thousand things to say. The time is too precious to waste , ray dar ¬ ling. " I left the Rectory on the following day. The next few months were passed in a dream of happiness which left me little thought for Charlie Branscombe or his concerns. Occa- sionally ¬ , it is true , I was brought into relations with Widdrington , for my connection with office could not be abruptly terminated , and In the matter of Forest Lea felt that I had a special responsibility to discharge. The de- tective ¬ was actively following up clue after clue as they came Into his hands. His pride and his professional interest were thoroughly roused by his first failure , and he was bent on completing the case in which he had already worked so hard. Mr. Charles Brans- combe ¬ had not left England so much Widdrington was sure of. Probably want of means had prevented his going far from home and the numerous friends and adherents who were always ready to help him- ."I . shall run him down yet , " Wid- drington ¬ confidently asserted. "He must be starved out sooner or later. " In the meantime Forest Lea was shut up and deserted , at the Rector's constant regret ; and only a vague im- pression ¬ of the truth floated about the neighborhood , where my darling still remained , under the friendly protec- tion ¬ of Mr. and Mrs. Heathcote. She had promised to be mine in the summer , when the first anniversary of good old Colonel's death had come and gone. Then we were to have a pretty wedding in the village church a wedding all flowers and sunshine , such as became our hopes and our happiness.- I . was fully occupied in preparing for that supreme event. I was refurnish- FELLOW GONE TO ? ? was I I was I my the the I the ing my newly-acquired home a lovely old house in Kent , amongst the hop ¬ gardens and woods of the Weald and sparing no pains to make it a fitting nest for the sweet , gentle dove who was to preside over it- In such happy occupation , with fre- quent ¬ visits to the Midshire Rectory , the months passed quickly away. I had no personal part in the next act of the drama which concerned Mr. Charles Branscombe , and must leave its chronicle to another pen. CHAPTER XVI.- A . little maid in a blue cotton gown and a white muslin cap was picking peas in a cottage garden. She was taking her work in leisurely fashion , sitting on a three-legged stool with her basket in her lap , and gathering the plump pods as they dangled close to her hand. The vines grew high that year , and the little maid as she sat was almost hidden in the green valley ; not so much hidden , however , but that a hot and flustered police officer saw her as he tramped heavily up the path , and blurted out an abrupt question "Where's the young fellow gone to ? " She looked up with a pair of tranquil blue eyes , growing round with aston- ishment ¬ , as she repeated after him , In- a strong country accent "Young fellar ? What young fellar- d'ye mean ? " She looked so fresh and so pretty , and the yellow fringe which peeped out from under her cap was so infantile in its innocent simplicity , that Mr. James Brown felt a momentary impulse , in spite of his flustration , to chuck her under the cool rounded chin , ant ! aven perhaps help h oicelf to a kiss from her red lips. If he hacm't been so hot and so worried where the dickens could that young rip have got to ? he would certainly have taken advantage of his opportunities. As it was he pur- sued his investigation and resisted the temptation.- "A . youne fellar in a light tweed suit he was making straight for here , " he- explained. . "I saw him before me over the fields not ten minutes ago , and I'll swear I hardly lost sight of him. He must be in the house ; there isn't an- other ¬ place this way not even a shave of wood to hide him and Smith and Varley would have stopped him further down. He must be in the house. " "Maybe , ye can ask , " retorted the damsel indifferently , reaching out her hand towards a group of pods , as if dismissing the subject. The officer went his way , with just another admiring glance at the pretty figure in the charming green avenue. The door at the cottage stood wide open ; a black cat was dozing in the sun ; all was quiet and sleepy ; there was not a sound about the place. The officer's loud knock brought a stupid servant-girl with a snub nose and a- wideopen mouth to answer his reit- erated ¬ question- ."Where's . the the young gentleman who came in here just now ? I want to speak to him. " "There's no young gentleman here. " she replied "only my master and misses , and they're both old. " "Where are they ? Tell them Mr. James Brown wants to speak to them. " The girl preceded him into the parlor at the end of the passage , after knock- ing ¬ at the door , and gave his message verbatim "Mr. James Brown wants to speak to ye. " A decent old man of the retired tradesman class , disturbed in his after- noon ¬ nap , looked up with blinking eyes at the impatient constable , whilst his comely old partner put down the stock- ing ¬ she was darning , and prepared to interview the visitor.- "Good . afternoon , sir , " rhe said , civ- illy. ¬ . "Won't you take a seat ; it's warm walking. " Was it real innocence or only a sham ? Mr. Brown was not going to ba taken In ; these people were probably allies of Mr. Charles Branscombe old servants or something of that sort. The old gentleman's yawn was too demonstrative , and he did not mean to let the old lady's civility put him off the scent he was quite up to that game. He glanced sharply around the room , behind the old man's ponderous arm-chair , at the cupboard door , even up the chimney , before he answered in his most official tone "A young gent entered this house about ten minutes or maybe a quarter of an hour ago , Mr. Charles Brans- combe - by name. I've got business with him very particular business , if- you'll let him know. " "Mr. Charles Branscombe , " echoed the old man ; "he's not here , and hasn't been , to my knowledge. " "Then it's without your knowledge , " retorted Mr. Brown , who was getting cross. "I'll take my davy he's some- where ¬ on the premises ; and , as I hold a warrant for his apprehension , I shall have to 'search for him with your leave or without it. " "You're an ill-mannered upstart that's what you are , " exclaimed Mr. Walker , very wide awake now, and starting up to face Mr. Brown. "And- I dare you to search my house war- rant ¬ or no warrant , I'm an honest man , and I've nothing to do with your scamps : and if I was ten years younger I'd kick you out faster than you came in that's what I'd do" warming as- he v.rent on- ."Hush . , Samuel ! " interposed the dame , laying her hand upon his arm , as he shook his fist in the intruder'sf- ace. . "Never mind his manners it's only his ignorance. We don't mean to resist the law ; if he's got a warrant , let him show it , and he's welcome to search if he likes. He'll soon see it's no use. My husband is old , sir" aside to Mr. Brown , as the old gentleman walked to the window , and wiped his forehead with his handkerchief "and- he's apt to be hasty when he's waked sudden out of his sleep. Let us see your warrant , if you please , sir. " ( To be continued. ) MAN'S LUNGS SPRUNG A LEAK. That Is AVIiy the Cleveland Uackinnn- IVas So Greatly Swelled. From the Cleveland Leader : It is not often that a thin man becomes alarmingly obese within twentyfourh- ours. . This , however , was the experi- ence ¬ of Martin McHugh , who is a hack driver , and lives at 216 Hamilton street. Wednesday morning he was too small for his clothes. Several hours later he had a pronounced "bay window , " his hands , feet , legs and arms were twice their natural size , and his cheeks as- sumed ¬ rotund proportions that sur- prised ¬ the members of his family. He did not stop there , but continued to grow big. finally being compelled to discard his clothing and take to a bed.- Dr. . . D. D. Steur was called. He said it was evident that McHugh's lungs were leaking. This , according to the physi- cian ¬ , became more evident when it was seen that with each breath the rotund portions rose and fell. In speaking of the curious case Dr. Steur said : "Mc ¬ Hugh was injured by being struck with the thill of a wagon. He felt no im- mediate ¬ effects , but was obliged to go home later in the day. Every portion of his body seemed to ache. He then commenced to bloat , his body swelling to twice its natural size. When called in by the family I saw at once that one of the man's lungs had been In- jured ¬ and was leaking air. With Dr.- N. . . Stone Scott I decided on an opera ¬ tion. The body was punctured. The air came out with alarming force. The disabled lung was then laid bare. It had been injured , a splinter having probably entered the casing. The wound was cleaned and the lung care- fully ¬ sewed. From last reports the pa- tient ¬ was doing nicely and will soon bo at his old stand. " Willie , aged } , noticed the moon In the western sky one morning after sunrise. Having never seen both orbs at once he was deeply impressed and , running into the house , exclaimed : "Oh , mamrna , I've got a good joke on the angels ! " "Why , Willie , what do you mean ? " asked the astonished mother. "They forgot to tauc tna moon in , " answered the little fellow.

"Was this what you were workingfor ? " I demanded , with a sudden jeal-ous

¬

suspicion-."Perhaps

.

I was ! " she answered loft¬

ily. "I hope she will never be sorrythat she chose wrong. "

"I hope not ! " I assented cordially.-"A

real gentleman ," repeated MissWoodward "as free-handed and free-spoken as a prince a gentleman whoknows how to treat a woman , even ifshe is only a servant a gentleman I'dwork my fingers to the bone for , and sowould a good many more ! "

"You did your best for him ," I couldnot help saying. "You have nothinglo reproach yourself with. '"

It was true , as Widdrlngton hadraid , that all the women were fasci-nated

¬

by handsome , dare-devil Charlie.What wonder that Nona had felt hispower ? I could only be thankful thatthe fascination had not gone deeper.-

"No.

; I've nothing to reproach myselfwith ," the maid assented. "And I'llpray night and day for my young lady ,

that she may see her mistake before it-

Is too late. "And with this parting shot the reso-

lute¬

virago marched sternly from theroom without a word of farewell civil ¬

ity.I.

finished my interrupted letters , andthen sought Nona. She met me with adismayed face-

."Such.

a strange thing has happened ,"the exclaimed. "Woodward has left at-

a moment's notice. She would -notgive any explanation of her going , onlyBald that she was sorry to inconven-ience

¬

me. but circumstances obligedher to leave at once ; and she has

"gone.

"The most extraordinary proceed-ing

¬

," chimed in Miss Elmslie. "I toldNona that she could insist upon Wood ¬

ward's remaining until she had foundanother servant If it had not hap-

pened¬

that a young girl from the vil-

lage¬

is at liberty to take her place atonce , it would have been most incon-venient

¬

and awkward ; and Woodwardwas such an excellent maid. I suppose

\ '"WHERE'S THE YOUNG "

she has had some quarrel with theservants and she never had a goodtemper. "

"I wonder ," began Nona , and thenstopped suddenly. .

"What do you wonder " I asked-."Nothing

.

," she laughed , "only anodd idea of mine. "

"Tell me your ideas ; I like to hearthem all. "

"I wondering whether Tillott'sleaving had anything to do with Wood-

ward's.

-

. I know she liked him , andthought him a great improvement on

Charles ; but then he was so muchyounger. Of course it was very silly of-

me to connect the two events. "

"I don't know about that I thinkit was very sagacious of you ," I an¬

swered-."Then

.

there is something. Whatare you laughing at ? What is it ? "

"You are right , my dearest. Wood ¬

ward's and Tillott's departures do hangtogether."

And then , Miss Elmslie having dis-

creetly¬

retired , I told Nona the wholestory from beginning to end , only en-

joining¬

on her the secrecy which thedear little indiscreet" Miss Elmsliecould never have been trusted to pre¬

serve-.Nona's

.

astonishment was unbounded-

."What.

a plot ! " she exclaimed. "It-Is like a book ; and Woodward , whoseemed so quiet and so respectable ,

was helping it all. And that man Til-

lott-

was a detective. How strange itall is ! feel as if I were in a dream.The will was really stolen then , notlost , and and now I understand ; youpuzzled me so when you persisted youhad seen me at Molten , and that I hadtaken your bag. puzzled , andand a little angry" blushing.-

"Yes.

, you were thoroughly mysti-fied

¬

," agreed.-"Oh

.

, I do hope ," said Nona , "thatman , Widdrington , vrill never , neverfind Charlie poor Charlie , who wasmy playfellow and friend , and pooruncle's pet and darling , treated like a

common thief. You will not allow itpromise me you will not. "

"It will not be so bad as that ," I as-

sured¬

her. "Of course he must bemade to surrender will. However ,

we will not talk about him any longer.This is my last evening , you know , andI have a thousand things to say. Thetime is too precious to waste , ray dar¬

ling. "I left the Rectory on the following

day. The next few months werepassed in a dream of happiness whichleft me little thought for CharlieBranscombe or his concerns. Occa-

sionally¬

, it is true , I was brought intorelations with Widdrington , for myconnection with office could not beabruptly terminated , and In the matterof Forest Lea felt that I had a specialresponsibility to discharge. The de-

tective¬

was actively following up clueafter clue as they came Into his hands.His pride and his professional interestwere thoroughly roused by his firstfailure , and he was bent on completingthe case in which he had alreadyworked so hard. Mr. Charles Brans-combe

¬

had not left England so muchWiddrington was sure of. Probablywant of means had prevented his goingfar from home and the numerousfriends and adherents who were alwaysready to help him-

."I.

shall run him down yet , " Wid-

drington¬

confidently asserted. "Hemust be starved out sooner or later."

In the meantime Forest Lea wasshut up and deserted , at the Rector'sconstant regret ; and only a vague im-

pression¬

of the truth floated about theneighborhood , where my darling stillremained , under the friendly protec-tion

¬

of Mr. and Mrs. Heathcote.She had promised to be mine in the

summer , when the first anniversary ofgood old Colonel's death had come

and gone. Then we were to have apretty wedding in the village churcha wedding all flowers and sunshine ,

such as became our hopes and ourhappiness.-

the months passed quickly away. Ihad no personal part in the next act ofthe drama which concerned Mr.Charles Branscombe , and must leaveits chronicle to another pen.

CHAPTER XVI.-

A.

little maid in a blue cotton gownand a white muslin cap was pickingpeas in a cottage garden. She wastaking her work in leisurely fashion ,

sitting on a three-legged stool with herbasket in her lap , and gathering theplump pods as they dangled close toher hand. The vines grew high thatyear, and the little maid as she sat wasalmost hidden in the green valley ; notso much hidden , however , but that ahot and flustered police officer saw heras he tramped heavily up the path , andblurted out an abrupt question

"Where's the young fellow gone to ? "She looked up with a pair of tranquil

blue eyes , growing round with aston-ishment

¬

, as she repeated after him , In-

a strong country accent"Young fellar ? What young fellar-

d'ye mean ? "She looked so fresh and so pretty ,

and the yellow fringe which peeped outfrom under her cap was so infantile inits innocent simplicity , that Mr. JamesBrown felt a momentary impulse , inspite of his flustration , to chuck herunder the cool rounded chin , ant! avenperhaps help h oicelf to a kiss fromher red lips. If he hacm't been so hotand so worried where the dickenscould that young rip have got to ? hewould certainly have taken advantageof his opportunities. As it was he pur-sued his investigation and resisted thetemptation.-

"A.

youne fellar in a light tweed suit

he was making straight for here ," he-

explained. . "I saw him before me overthe fields not ten minutes ago , and I'llswear I hardly lost sight of him. Hemust be in the house ; there isn't an-

other¬

place this way not even a shaveof wood to hide him and Smith andVarley would have stopped him furtherdown. He must be in the house. "

"Maybe , ye can ask , " retorted thedamsel indifferently , reaching out herhand towards a group of pods , as ifdismissing the subject.

The officer went his way , with justanother admiring glance at the prettyfigure in the charming green avenue.

The door at the cottage stood wideopen ; a black cat was dozing in thesun ; all was quiet and sleepy ; therewas not a sound about the place. Theofficer's loud knock brought a stupidservant-girl with a snub nose and a-

wideopen mouth to answer his reit-

erated¬

question-."Where's

.

the the young gentlemanwho came in here just now ? I want tospeak to him. "

"There's no young gentleman here. "she replied "only my master andmisses , and they're both old. "

"Where are they ? Tell them Mr.James Brown wants to speak to them. "

The girl preceded him into the parlorat the end of the passage , after knock-ing

¬

at the door , and gave his messageverbatim

"Mr. James Brown wants to speakto ye. "

A decent old man of the retiredtradesman class , disturbed in his after-noon

¬

nap , looked up with blinking eyesat the impatient constable , whilst hiscomely old partner put down the stock-ing

¬

she was darning , and prepared tointerview the visitor.-

"Good.

afternoon , sir , " rhe said , civ-

illy.

¬

. "Won't you take a seat ; it'swarm walking. "

Was it real innocence or only asham ? Mr. Brown was not going to bataken In ; these people were probablyallies of Mr. Charles Branscombe oldservants or something of that sort.The old gentleman's yawn was toodemonstrative , and he did not mean tolet the old lady's civility put him offthe scent he was quite up to thatgame. He glanced sharply around theroom , behind the old man's ponderousarm-chair , at the cupboard door , evenup the chimney , before he answered inhis most official tone

"A young gent entered this houseabout ten minutes or maybe a quarterof an hour ago , Mr. Charles Brans-combe

-by name. I've got business

with him very particular business , if-

you'll let him know. ""Mr. Charles Branscombe ," echoed

the old man ; "he's not here , and hasn'tbeen , to my knowledge. "

"Then it's without your knowledge ,"retorted Mr. Brown , who was gettingcross. "I'll take my davy he's some-where

¬

on the premises ; and , as I holda warrant for his apprehension , I shallhave to 'search for him with yourleave or without it. "

"You're an ill-mannered upstartthat's what you are , " exclaimed Mr.Walker , very wide awake now , andstarting up to face Mr. Brown. "And-

I dare you to search my house war-

rant¬

or no warrant , I'm an honest man ,

and I've nothing to do with yourscamps : and if I was ten years youngerI'd kick you out faster than you camein that's what I'd do" warming as-

he v.rent on-

."Hush.

, Samuel ! " interposed thedame , laying her hand upon his arm ,

as he shook his fist in the intruder'sf-ace. . "Never mind his manners it'sonly his ignorance. We don't mean toresist the law ; if he's got a warrant , lethim show it , and he's welcome tosearch if he likes. He'll soon see it'sno use. My husband is old , sir" asideto Mr. Brown , as the old gentlemanwalked to the window , and wiped hisforehead with his handkerchief "and-he's apt to be hasty when he's wakedsudden out of his sleep. Let us seeyour warrant , if you please , sir. "

MAN'S LUNGS SPRUNG A LEAK.

That Is AVIiy the Cleveland Uackinnn-IVas So Greatly Swelled.

From the Cleveland Leader : It isnot often that a thin man becomesalarmingly obese within twentyfourh-ours. . This , however , was the experi-ence

¬

of Martin McHugh , who is a hackdriver , and lives at 216 Hamilton street.Wednesday morning he was too smallfor his clothes. Several hours later hehad a pronounced "bay window ," hishands , feet , legs and arms were twicetheir natural size , and his cheeks as-

sumed¬

rotund proportions that sur-prised

¬

the members of his family. Hedid not stop there , but continued togrow big. finally being compelled todiscard his clothing and take to a bed.-

Dr..

. D. D. Steur was called. He said itwas evident that McHugh's lungs wereleaking. This , according to the physi-cian

¬

, became more evident when it wasseen that with each breath the rotundportions rose and fell. In speaking ofthe curious case Dr. Steur said : "Mc ¬

Hugh was injured by being struck withthe thill of a wagon. He felt no im-

mediate¬

effects , but was obliged to gohome later in the day. Every portionof his body seemed to ache. He thencommenced to bloat , his body swellingto twice its natural size. When calledin by the family I saw at once thatone of the man's lungs had been In-

jured¬

and was leaking air. With Dr.-

N.

.

. Stone Scott I decided on an opera ¬

tion. The body was punctured. Theair came out with alarming force. Thedisabled lung was then laid bare. Ithad been injured , a splinter havingprobably entered the casing. Thewound was cleaned and the lung care-

fully¬

sewed. From last reports the pa-

tient¬

was doing nicely and will soonbo at his old stand."

Willie , aged } , noticed the moon Inthe western sky one morning aftersunrise. Having never seen both orbsat once he was deeply impressed and ,

running into the house , exclaimed :

"Oh , mamrna , I've got a good joke onthe angels ! " "Why , Willie , what doyou mean ? " asked the astonishedmother. "They forgot to tauc tnamoon in ," answered the little fellow.
