A Bark Note in Two Halves.
Wet and dreary. It is midwinter'; the
scene is Kirklington, on the London, and
Northwestern; the time, a quarter to eleven,
just after the night mail has flashed through
without stopping—bound for Liverpool and
the north. The railway officials—pointsmen,
Sigualmen, porters, platelayers—are collect-
gng preparatoay to going off duty for the
night. ' ' ‘
“Where‘s Dan ?" asked one of the crowd
upon the platform. . ..
“I saw him in the but just after" the quar.
ter to eleven went through. Cah’t have come
to any harm, surely.” '
“ No; he said he’d seen something drop
from the train, and he went down the line to
pick it up."
And Dan had picked up something. It was
a basket, a common white wicker basket,
. with a lid fastened down by a string. What
did it contain ? Refreshments ? Dirty clothes?
What ?
A baby—a child half a dozen weeks old,
no more, A pink and white piece of human
china as fragile as Dresden,a‘nd as' delicately
fashioned and tinted as biscuit or Rose Pom-
padour. ‘ ' . ' -
“Where did you come across it? asked
one.” , ,
“Lying on the line, just where it fcl‘.
Perhaps it didn’t'fall',perbaps it'fw'as chucked
out. What matter?" I’ve got it, and got to
look: '2 - it, that‘s er“‘3;h for me. .Some
day maybe I’ll come across them as owns
it, and then they shall pay foe and take‘it
back.” ' ' 1‘ _
“Is there nothing about I’m ? Turn ' ‘m
over." ' _ '
The little m'ite’s linen was white and of fine
material, but it lay upon an‘old shawl and
a few bits of dirty flannel. All they found
was a dilapidated purse, 9. common snap—
lock bag purse of faded brown leather. In—
side was a brass thimble, and-a pawn ticket
and the be" of a Bank of England note for
£100. .
“What good’s half a bank note to you ?”
“Half a loaf’s better than no bread.”
“Yes, but you can eat one, but you can’t
pass the other. Won’t you, catch it from
your wife? How!" .you face her, Dan?
What’ll she say ?” _ j ‘
“She’ll say I done quiet right,” replied
Dan, stoutly. “She’s a good sort, God bless
her." - - .
“So are you, Dan, that’s a fact. God bless
you too," said more than one rough voice in ’
softened accents. “Perhaps the brat’ll bring
you luck after a“." . '

Winter-tide again six» years later, but this
season is wet and slushy. Once more we are
at Kirklington,a long straggling village,which
might have slumbered on in obscurity forever,

close by it, to give it a'p lace in Bradshaw

share or the spoil and describe voluminously
what had occurred. This rad the repeated
shouts of laughter seemed to. produce some
impression on him. Presently he looked over
, his shoulder, and said-but without au'unn-
tion— ‘
“It be very good of you, sir,.sure!y; very
good for to take so kindly to the little chicks.
- It does them good to laugh a bit, and it-ain’t
much as they’ve had to make ’em laugh,
lately.” '
“It is good for all of us, now and again, I
take it,” said Jack, desisting, and going t- ~-
wards him—the children gradually collecting
in a far off corner and comparing notes.
“1’ on can’t laugh, sir, if, y u’re heart’s
heavy; if you do, it' can be only a sham.”
While he was speaking be had taken the
Bible from the shelf, and resuming his seat,
began to turn the leaves slowly over.
“I’m an untaught, rough countryman, sir,
but I have heard tell that these strange things
- you do are only tricks, ain't it so P”
.* Here was, indeed a hopeful symptom! He
was roused, then, to take some interest in
what had occurred. '
“All tricks, of cor-so, it all comes of long
, practice,” said Jack, as he pro ceded to ex;
plain some'of the processes,hoping to encbr’n
the man’s attention.
“That’s what I thought, sir, or I’d have
given you a job to do. I’ve been in want of
a real conjuror for many a long day, and
nothingJess ’11 do. See here, sir," he said as
he took a small, carefully folded paper from
between the leaves of the Bible; “do you
see this ?” .
It was half a Bank of England note for
£100. '
“Now, sir,” could any conjv-cr help me to
the other half ?” g
. ‘-How did you come by it ?" Jack asked at
Once.
. “I’ll tell you sir, short as I can make it.
Conjurer or no conjuror, you’ve got a kindly
heart, and I’m main sure that you’ll help me
if you can.” . .
Dan then described how he had picked up
the basket from the quarter to eleven Liver—
pool express. 0
“There was the linen; I’ve kept it. See
here ; all marked quite pretty and proper,
with lace round the edges, as though its
motbei loved to make the little one smart.”
Jack examined the linen ; it here a mono-
gram and crest. The first he made out to
mean H. L. M.,and the crest was plainly two
hammers crossed and the motto, “I strike”—
not a common crest—and he never remem—
bered to have seen it before.
"And this was all?”
“ ’Cept the bank note. That was in a poor
old purse, with a pawn ticket and a thimble.
I kept them all."
Like a true detective Jack examined every
article minutely. The purse bore thename
Hester Gorrigan in rude letters inside, and
names .
“I cannot give you much hope that I shall
succeed, but I will .do my best. Will you
trust me with the note for a time ?”
“Surely, sir. with the greatest of pleasure.
If you could but find the other half it would
give Harry—that’s what we call him—such a
grand .stmt in life; schooling and the price of
bindingbim to some honest trade.”
Jack shook the man’s hand,promiscd to do
his best and left the cottage.
When Jack Newbiggin got back to the
parsonage he found that his host had accept—
ed an invitation for them both to dine at the
“Big House,” as it was called,tbe country

And he handed it back to S" I a Is, who
received it with i‘l-concealed satisfaction.
He w' '7 rs much pleased, probably, at Jaci.’s
expression of possible failure in the proposed
trick rs at the recovery of b's property.
Another watch, however, w. r pounded up
into a jelly, and brought out whole from a
cabinetin an adjoining room; and this trick
successful'y accomplished, Jack Newbiggin
who was now completely on his mettle pass~
ed on to l“gber flights. He had spent the
vacation of the year previous in France as
the pupil of a wizard of Europern fame, and
had mastered many of the strange feats
which are usually attributed to clairvoyance.
There is something especially uncanny about
these tricks, and Jack’s reputation rapidly
increased with this new exhibition of his
powers. Thanks to this crossexamiuation
of Mrs. Sitwell at r"nner, he was in posses-
sion of many cts connected with the com-
pany, although mostly strangers to him; and
some of his hits were so palpably happy that
he raised shouts of surprise, followed by
that terrified hush which not uncommonly
succeeds the"'splay of seemingly supernatur-
al powers.
“Oh, but I ‘s is ,too preposterous,” Sir
Lewis Mallaby was her'd to say quite angri-
ly. The continued applause profoundly
disgusted him. “This is the merest char-
latanism. It must be put 'an end to. These
are things which he has coached up in ad—
vance. Let ,him be tried with something
which upon the face of it he cannot have
learned beforehand by artificial means.”
“Try him, Sir Lewis, try him yourself,”
cried several voices. _ .
“I scarcely like to'lend myself to such folly,
to encourage so pitiful an exhibition.” 1
But it seemed to be conscious that further
protest would tell in Jack’s favor.
“I wi" admit that you have considerable
power in this strange branch of necroman—
cy, if you will answer a few questions of
mine.” - '
“Proceed," said Jack 1, 'avley, meeting his
eyes firmly and without finching. -
“Tell me what is most on my n“ ‘d at this
present moment.”
The want of a male heir," Jack replied
promptly, and thanked Mrs. Sitwell in his
heart.”
“Psbaw! You have learned from Burke
that I have no children,” said Sir Lewis bold-
ly', but he was a "ttle taken aback. “A 1y-
tbing else ?” 4 .
“The memory of a harsh dee d that you now
strive in vain to redeem.”
“This borders upon impertinence,” said Sir
Lewis, with a hot blush on his cheek and pas.
sicn in his eyes. “But let us leave abstrac-
tions and try tangible realities. Can you tell
me what I have in. my pocket ?" He touched
the left breast of his " ". coat. ‘
“A pocketbook.”
“Bah! Oh so sans dir.
ries a pocketbook in his pocket.”
“But do you ?” asked several of .he by-
standers, all of whom were growing deeply
interester‘ in this strange duel.
Sir Lewis Mallaby confessed that he r"d,
and produced it—an ord’uary morocco leatbe;
purse and pocketbook all in one,
“Are you prepared to goon ?” said the bar-
onet haugbtily to Jack.
“Certainly.” -
“What does this pocketbook conta' l ?”
“Evidence.” '

Jack Newbiggin was by profession a con-
veyancer, but nature had intended him for
a new Houd'u or a Wizard of the North.
He was more than half a professional by the
time he was full grown, In addition to the
quick eye and the facile wrist, he had the
rarer gifts of the suave manner and the face
of brass. He had even studied mesmerism
and clairvoyance, and could upon occasions
surprise his audience considerably by his
power. - - .
They entered the miserable dwelling to.
gether. The children—eight of them—were
skirmishing allover the floor. They were
unmanageable, and beyond the control of the
eldest sister, who was busied in setting out
the table for the midday meal; one other child
of six or seven, a bright eyed, exceedingly
beautiful boy, the least—were not nature’s
vagaries well known—likely to be born among
and belong to such surroundings, stood be-
tween the legs of the man himself, who had
his back to the visitors and was crouching
low over the scanty fire. ‘
The man tamed his head for a moment,
gave a blank stare, then an imperceptable
nod, and once more he glowered dowu upon
the fire.
“Here, little ones, do you see this conjur—
or? he’s aponjuror. Know what a conjur-
or is, Tommy?” cried the parson, catching
up a mite of four or five from the floor. “No,
. nor you; nor you, Sarahmor you,'J,,cky»_
and he ran through all. their names.
They had now ceased their gambols and
were staring hardjat their visitors—the mo-
ment was propitious: Jack Newbiggin began

“Sir Lewis Mallaby."
“Please point him out to me,”
He was shown a grave, scowling face upon
the right of the hostess—a face like a mask,
its surface rough and wrinkled,through which
the eyes shone outwith baleful ‘ight like
c0‘ pse candles in a sepulchre. ~
“Pleasant creature! I'd rather not meet
him alone on a dark night,"
“He has a terrible character, certainly.
Tamed his wife out. of doors because she
would not give 1 ’m an heir. It is this
want of children to inherit his title and 'es-
tates Which preys upon his mind they say,
and makes him so morose and melancholy.”
Jack let his companion chatter on. It was
his habit to get all the information possible
about any company in wihch he found him—
self, for his own purpose as a clairvoyant ;
and when Mrs. Sitwill flagged he plied her
with artless questions, and led her on from
one person to another, making mental notes
to serve him hereafter. . Itis thus. by care-
ful and laborious preparation, that many of
the strange and seemingly mysterious feats
of the clairvoyant conjuror are performed.
._ When the whole party was assembled in
the drawing room after dinner a chorus of
voices, headed by that, of the hostess, sums
moned Jack, to :his work. . There appeared
to be only one dissentient-‘Sir Lewis Hallo
aby—who not only. did not trouble himself
to back up the invitation, but when the per-
formance was actually begun was at no pains
to conceal his attempt and disgust. .
The conjuror made the conventional plum
pudding in a hat, fired wedding rings into
quartern loaves,did all manner of card tricks
knife tricks, pistol tricks, and juggled on
conscientiously. right through his reper-
toiré. There was never a smile on Sir
Lewis’s face; he sneered unmistakably. Fin-
ally, witb an ostentation that savored of
rudeness,he took out his watch, a great gold
repeater, looked at it, and unmistakably
yawned.
Jack bungered for that watch directly he
saw it. Perhaps through it he might make
its owner uncomfortrTle, if only for a ma.
ment.’ But how to get it into his hands.
He asked for a watch, a dozen were offer-
ed No, none of these would do. .It must
be‘ gold watch, a repetaer. Sir Lewis
Mallaby’s was the only one: in the room, and
he at first distinctly refused to lend it. But
so many earnest entreaties were addressed
to him, his hostesss leading the attack, that
he could not in coma on, courtesy continue
to refuse, With something like a growl he
took his watch off the chain r ld handed it to
Jack Newbiggin.
' A curious, old fashioned watch it was,
which would have‘ gladdeued the heart of a
watch-collector—all jeweled and enameled,
adorned with crest and inscription—an heir-
loom, which had probably been in the Malla-
by family for years. Jack looked it over cu-
riously,meditatively,tben suddenly raising his
eyes he stared intently into Sir Lewis's Mall.

"This is far too valuable,” he said couri-
eoufly, “too much of a treasure to be risked
fzx any conjuring trick; an ordinary modern
There as much applause at his harmless
and successful d nor 1r nt of what threaten-
ed at one stage to lead to altercation, perhaps
to a quarrel. But Jack Newbiggiu was not
satisfied.
“As, you have dared me to do my worst,”
said Jack, “listen now to what I have to say.
Not only did I know that was only the half
of a' note, but I lrnow where the other half is
to be found. ”
“So much the better for me,” said the bar-
onet, with an effort to appear humorous.
“That other half was given to—sba“ I say,
Sir Lewis ?"
Sir Lewis nodded indifierently.
- “It was given to one Hester Gorrigan, an
Irish nurse, six years ago. It was the price
of a deed of wt ich you—J
“Silence! Say no more.” cried Sir Lewis
in horro . “I see~you know all. I swear I.
have. had no peace since I was tempted so
sorely,aud so weakly fell. But I am prepared
to make all the restitution and rope ation in
my power—unless, mhappilymnless, it be al-
ready too late.”
Even while he was speaking his face turned
ghastly pale,bis lips were covered with a fine
white foam, he made one or two convulsive
attempts to steady himself, then with a wild
terrified look around he fell heavily to the
floor. ‘ . .
. It was a paralytic seizure. They took him
fup stairs and tended him; but the case was
desperate from the first. Only just before
the end did he so far recover the power of
speech as to be able to make a full cor ‘ession
of what had occurred.
- Sir Lewis had been a young son; the eld-
est inperited the family title, but died early,
leaving his widow to give him a posthumous
heir, the title remaining in' abeyance until
time showed whether the infant was a boy or
a girl. It proved to- be a boy, whereupon
Lewis Mallaby, who had the earliest intima-
tion of the fact, put into execution a nefari-
ous project-which he had carefully concoct—
ed in advance. A girl was obtained from a
'foundling hospital and substituted by Lady
Mallaby’s nurse, who was in Lewis‘s pay
and heir was handed over to another accom-
plice, Hester Gorrigau, who was bribed with
£100, half down in the shape of a half note,
the other f to be paid when she announced
her safe ival in Texas with the stolen
child. Mrs. Gorriganbad an unquenebable
thirst,and in her transit between London arul
Liverpool allowed her precious charge to slip
out of her brads, with the consequences we
know.
It was the watch borrowed from Sir Lewis
Mallaby which first aroused J ack’s suspic -
ions. ‘It bore the strange creati—two hams
mcrs crossed, with the motto on “strike”—
whicbwas marked upon the linen of the child
that Dan Blockit picked up at Kirklington
station. ‘ The initial of the name Mallaby
concided with the monogram H. L. M.
Jack rapidly drew his couclusions,and made
a bold shot. which hit the mark as We have
seen. . .
Lewis Mallaby’s .coufession soon rein
stated the rightful heir and Dan. Blockit in
after years had no reasou toregret the gen—
erosity" which had prompted him to give
the little fouud‘i'lg the shelter of h's rude
home.

“There is a pier sure in the pathless woods,”
and there are black flies and that lively hum-
ming-bird called the mosqr'to. These both
present their bills as if we owed them some—
thing, and they re very likely to (‘raw at
sight. We forget the iucideflll annoyances,
however, in our tb’rst for the glories and
sublimities of universal nature. We wend
our way from the places which knew us
towards the place which (D. V.)'shall know
us no more forever. We were already where
“every prospect pleases and only man is
‘ 'le,” but this, alas! was not enough; for
in our attempt to get twenty miles away
from the knowledge of man, we did not do
it, and only succeeded in find’ug ourselves
just so many miles away from man’s howl-
edge of God. It was our purpoSe to go back
to nature, to simplify our ways of life, to
dwell in the suggestive forests far from the
bhunts of man, where we should forget all
the discordant sounds of selfishness; the
squeaking and gibbering voices of civiliza—
tion; where we should not hear the rumb—
ling of the chariot wheels of Vanity, the
meaning of Vice and Misery; where we
should not read the papers which tell us
how the “Councillors of state sit plotting
and playing their high chess-game whereof
the pawns are men.” 'We are auxious,-iu

fore three of our companions, “Dick” (he’s
the mustang,) “Don Quixote" (the bay
horse,) and “Don" the faithful canine friend;

spruce and birch, the glower of the bear, the
frightened plunge of the deer, the soaring
flight of the partridge and such things, “of

Such beautiful, beahtif“ hands!
Though heart were weary and sad,
Those patient hands kept toiling on,
That the children might be glad.
I often weep, as looking back
To childhood’s distant day,
I think those deer hands rested not,
While mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They’re growing feeble now,
For time and pain have left their mark .
On hands and heart and brow.
Alas! alas! the morning time,
And the sad, sad day to me,
When 'neath the daisies, out of sight,
Those bands will folded be.
But oh! beyond this shadow land,

Will palms of victory bet
Where crystal streams through endless years
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young and fair
I'll clasp my mother’s hands.

The Married Men.
Adown the street the married man
Starts 03 with hurried tread,
But from a door a wifely voice
_ Calls, “Don’t forget the bread."
He smiles and nods, and turns to go,
That careless married man,
When loud the servant calls him, “Oh
You hat .l’t got the can !”
He nods again, in fretful style,
But pulleth down his hat, '
And lo, his sister, with a smile,
. Cries, “Won't you bring my cat ?"
“Oh, yes,” he shouts,'and truth tOtell
He need not about so loud ;' ' '
But shrill his son, with stunning. yell,
“Theater tickets for the crowd!"
His daughter, from window high.
Estops him with a call,
She wants a fan, a pair of gloves ,
And a new pink parasol.
He bears no more, far down the, street
His echoing footsteps fly; '
And all day long, in measuri fleet,
He bums, “S ‘ Jeet buy an]. buy."
And when the evening ite 'ns
And hisdaY'stoiiistm, beg, '
Though told to get a hundred things,
He hasn’t got a one.

men n. EDDY.
Over the fields by winning ways
We wandered on together,
Under the flashing azure skies,
In a. bush of August weather.
Round about us, afar and new,
:3?“ch the locusts humming,
n e asters starrin the lone!
Laughed out to seefiscoming? path
Bird songs out of the su‘nlit oak '
'Fell rippling through the shadow,
Like a spear of flame the. cardinal fiowcr
Burned out along the meadow. '
Into our hearts the blithe wind blew,
Its own free gladness giving,, '. ‘ ‘
And all things laughed in- the happy-earth
For pure, sweet joy of living.
Two roamed with their eye alight,
And their hearts too all“! for laughter,
Two in a revel of golden life,
Looked neither before nor after,
One went dreaming with Cawncast face
Through the hush of the woodland cover,
But one praised God from a trembling heart
.That the shadow of pain was over.

How Tm: ANCIENTS Excmvxn Gnu.—
We must remain as yet some little indoubt '
as to the methods employed by the older—'-
tists to perfect these miracles of taste. - We
have, however, the absolute certainty that
these ancient masters were familiar with the
diamond, and that their best work was made
by using the hardest of all substances an
tool. A splintered fragment of the’dlrmoud 7
served as a scraping tool, and they mo '
well acquainted with the drill. Prehistorié "
man worked a drill at the very commencei
meat of his existence. A Phwnicinng‘em—
a lion attacking a bull—shows how the d‘rl‘l‘ .
was used. A number of circular depreiaions; " '
are found in the gem, which mark the ei-Tf .1
tremities of the figures: This 'was‘do'n'e' n I “V
only for the sake of effect, but to show the
artist the limit of his work as to copra.“ “
After the holes were sunk, the artist nailed-h"
the various portions of his work by scratch- "
ing. Now the use of the diamond: point ‘
or s,-linter, fixed in a style or iron socketfl: ;
lowed a certain flexibility of handhngwh’ch

On the least application of‘tbe’substnn
