the relics of the contents of the bumper
which the dear people at home had sent
me, were removed. The November winds
howled dismally over the London roofs, and
rattledatgthe windowas if anxious to join
so pleasant a .party. Mr. Minton took an
improving sip of his hot grog, drew his fin-
gers through his iron-gray hair, and began :
seven years a clerk in the book. Our Mr.
Baskerville’s father was the principal then.
ands very shrewd cute old fellow he was, I
can tell on. Mr. Troutman was then a
clerk, an junior to me, but every one knew
that he would be a partner some day, as he
had married Miss Baskerville. 5 Young Bas-
kerville, who looks grave enough now, was
a boy at Harrow, and used. in oliday time,
to run in and out ofthe bank, and stare at the
piles of sovereigns just as he liked.- .
“I had some troubles then, and was look-
ed u n as a grave, sedate young man : and
as r'. Baskcrville told my poor mother, ‘as
steady as the funds.’ In consequence of this
gravi? of manner and character for steadi-
ness. had been several times employed in
little matters of a confidential nature, and
'my conduct in these had been approved of.
One afternoon in the latter part of August,
in'the year I speak of. I was sitting at my
desk, with not vs? much to do. I had been
thinking a‘good cal about my own affairs.
and gone back over ground rather painful
for me to trend, and was therefore rather sad
thstsunny Au ust afternoon. While I was
meditatlugan idly drawing figures on my
blotting-pad, the bank messen er came to
me, and said that Mr. Baskervi leI wished to
speak'tO'me. I went into his private room
and found him seated at his desk, and in an
arm-chair besidehim sat a middle-aged, in‘
valid-lookin man, whose handsome face
wore a peev h c resslon that seemed to be
permanent. IMr. askervllle said,—
“ ‘This, my lord, is the gentleman whom I
should have the greatest confidence in cm-
ploying, in the matter.’ The stranger look-
ed at'me languidly, and slightly inclined his
headasl how (1.
" ‘Rather young for such work, is he not,
Baskerville ’ ,
“‘No, my lord, I don’tthink so. Mr. Min-
ton is grave and steady beyond his years, and
the firm has ve great confidence in him.’
“ ‘Well, I wii trust to you. and I think
you‘iully understand all that is wanted. 1
would rather not give myself the fatigue of
entering into explanations with this young
man, if you think you thoroughly understand
what I want.’
’ “ ‘If you will leave it to‘ I me, my lord, I
will undertake that Mr. Minton shall receive
full instructions. Just see if Lord Valdanc’s
carriage is at the door, will you, Mr. Minion ?’
“I returned with the requisite information;
and his lordship, after being carefully wrap-
ped up, took the arm ofone of his men, and
went to his carriage. '
“Mr. Baskervillc then asked me to shut the
door and sit down beside him, and proceed-
ed to ve me full and complete directions as
how whs to act.
“ It appeared that Lord Valdane had three
daughters, besides several 'sons. The young-
est Oi‘his daughters, when just sixteen, had
caused great trouble and distress to her fam-
ily byfalling in love with a violinist, who
had come constant] to the house to give one
of her brothers essons on his instrument.
This had been discovered about a year be-
fore, and had given rise to great recrimina-
Itionr, and the young lady had- shown an
amount Of obstinacy and temper which had
quite alarmed her friends, so foreign was it,
apparently, to her nature. She had openly
declared. her intention of holding any comi-
mnnication with him that opportunitcs might
offer. Under these circumstances. and in
consideration of her youth, her father deter-
mined to send ber‘to a school he t by an
English lad in a village about ii on miles
from Brusse ’s. and hoped theta year or two
of entire change and absence from home
would make her get over and forget an effec-
tion begun also early on age.
She was accordingly sent to Mrs. Sister’s
school but that lady had just written to
Lord Yaldane, at the end of the first year, to
ssy'that she could no longer undertake the
education of Miss Valdane, as her. conduct
relations Which should exist between mis-
tress and pupil. Lord Valdane had there-
fore determined to bring her back to Eng-
that Mr Arne had left this country for Amer-
Lord Valdane had come to Mr. askerville,
with whom he banked, to ask that some con-
fidental clerk might be sent to Antwerp to
meet Miss Valdaue, and bring her home to
her father’s house in Eaton Square. A ser-
vant would be sent with her as far as Ant-
werp, where she would be met by the per-
son chosen to escort her.
“I asked Mr. Baskervllle if it was thought
that the young lady would return home wil-

have been very few. Oi her “transportation.”

not of a kind that I hadb'argained for on en-

what happened to me.”
“I started, according to my instructions, .’

the next day found myself at the door of the
Hotel St. Antoine at Antwerp. I inquired it
Miss Valdane had arrived, and was asked to
step up to a drawing-room on the second
floor. No one was in the room when I IenI-
tered, but in a few minutes a respectable
looking middle-aged woman came in, With
an expression of anxiety on her countenance.
“ ‘Are you the gentleman from London,
sir ?’ said she. 4 _
“ ‘I am,’ said I. When will it be conveni-
ent for Miss Valdane to set out On her jouré
ney ‘1 i '
“ ‘0 sir,’ said she, ‘Miss Vuldane is very
unwell. and has been obliged to go to bed.
This has upset all the plans that had been ar-
ranged. and I- don’t know what to dO.’ "
“ ‘When did this illness come on 1”» I askedl
“ ‘Why, sir. Miss Valdane seemed very
well when we left, but as we get near Ant;
werp she complained of headache, and was
obliged to go to bed directly we got to the
hotel. The worst of it is.’ said she, often

train. . ' .
“ The young lady has her maid, I under}
stand ‘f’said I. . ‘ - ‘1
“‘0 yes, sir. she is with her, certainly;
but she is young and fiighty, and I haven’t
much confidence in her.
“ ‘Has Miss Valdanc seen any medical
man ?’ said I. . - ~
“ ‘0 no, sir, she wouldn't hear of onebelng
sent for.’ .
“'.‘Well,’ said I, ‘it cannot be helped; . you
must return to your mistress, and I, must
wait here until Miss Vuldane is able to travel.’
"In the course ‘of the afternoon, and after
Mrs. Sister's servant had'leit, ’I sent up my
compliments to. Miss Valdanc, and requested
tO-know how she was. '. , . . . .

"This was good news, andI . immediately
set about inquiries as to trains ‘ and boat. ,. I
found that by leaving Ostend at half past
three the next morning, the young lady could
beat her father’s house in time for lunch the

appearance. ' . . -‘
“Hel' maid shortly afterwards came down
with a message to know if it would be con-
venient to me to have an interview with her
mistress. I of course assented, and directly
afterwards a young lady came into the room.
“I bowed, and looked at'my charge with
some curiosity. Her appearance surprised
me: She was dark, and had large, tender:
looking eyes, but in other respects Was by no
means good-looking, and seemed to wantthe
case andsaooir fail-e that I should have in

possessed. She was well and handsomely
dressed, but was decidedly not elegant ;tand
there was a want of freshness and youthful-:-

an attracdve~loookiug girl. She addressed
the in a constrained . and rather unmusical‘
voice. - '."

i “How Strange, thought I, that the servant
should have made no mention Of this other
pupil. But I suppose she was so much en-
grossed with Miss Valdane's illness that she
could think Of nothing else." ' ' I
“ ‘I was not aware,’ said I, ‘that you Would

‘ “ ‘1’“ call her down,’ she said, and going
to the door she called, or rather shouted.

“She forgets, I thought, that she is in a
crowded hotel, and not at home. I heard a
light tripping step on the .stairs, and, after
some little giggling outside the door, IMissI

chievous-looking blonde, who could not pre-

“ Rather silly 1’ said Miss Valdane; ‘he

] right in thinking so.’ and before II had
time to put in a disclaimer of this opinion,
she added, ‘I don’t know whatyou‘people

again at the bank and my hands clean wash;-
ed of my eccentric charge. Miss Yaldane
embarrassed me very much as we were leav-
ing the hotel by interfering with the various
directions that I gave, and when we got to
the station she had an altercation with a pots
air, which exhausted all my rather scanty
stock of French to setright. Miss Manvcrs
ren’ionstrated with her friend, but always as
it more amused by her vagaries than annoy:
edict is needless for me to detail all the wor-
ryihg events of the jOurney‘ to Ostend I and
the voyage to Dover. During the latter, no
sea: certainly did subdue the- young lady’s
spirits. and she Is on a bench ondeck with
a stifiish glass 0 brandy and water-beside
her, and held her tongue. Miss .Manvers
was a riddle to me as well as her friend. " In
a great deal that she’said and did, and in her
manners and address, she showed the edu-
cation and refinement of a lady, and yet she
encouraged rather than subdued her iriondfs
eccentricities by her evident amusement.
“Upon our arrival at Dover,-I found that
the next train to London did not leave for “a
