[From the Galaxy for August.] CLIMMKRLEY OAP. BT 3. T. M'KAT. L Henry Clay Glenning, tolegrapb ope? rator at Lindenbury railway station, sat at his desk as the dusk closed in a oi a gloomy April evening, a dozen or more years back. A tall, light-built young man of maybe seven-and-twenty, .with a full, oloao-oropped brown beard, and a dover, good-looking face; but, about the eyes and mouth, tbero were troubled linea that seemed to indicate some present, wearing care. The oold North-easterly rain boat drearily on tho panes; the sashes rattled dismally in tho eddying wind. There was nothing going through the lino this hour and more, and Glenning leaned back in bis chair in thought that bis attitude showed was not at all pleasant oompany. Ho got np after a while and took down his bat and coat from the wall. It was nearly 7 by the office olock. The sta? tion-master relieved him three-quarters of an hour; there was no train due nntil tho Lako Mail, nine minutes of 8. He went oat, and up the bleak, wet streets. Getting home, bo left his wet coat in the passage, and passed on np the stairs. He leaned back on tho landing a mi? nute, with eyes looking down, and face compressed in distasteful revery. Then be Gtepped forward quickly, and went in. Tho table was set for two. Besido it a lady sat stitching upon some needle? work in her lap. Her cheek flushed as bo came in; but she did not look np. Ho came and sat down opposite. The angry flush remained; ber lips wero firmly shut; she worked on, loop over loop, and did not raise ber eyes or turn ber head. "Mary," be said, his tone was low and gentle, "Mary, I want to tell you a story." She glanced np askance at his face, as though surprised. But her eyes went instantly back to ber lap, and her fingers worked on, loop over loop. Glenning went on; his voice a little graver, but gentle and low as before. "On tho North Bock Hoad, just be? yond the Southdown Mills, thero is a lit? tle country store, kept by one John O'Neil and his wife, Jane. I've known the pair by eight a long timo now bonest, simple, hard-working folks, and Erosperons, too, as things go. They ave no boys and only ono girl-Jenny, after her mother. I remember ber a little, toddling thing, in a pink frock and gingham apron, aa I used to seo her playing abont the placo when I went out and in from tho farm. She was a bright, merry child, and a great pet at home, as you may suppose. John was never tired of talking about her as a child, and praising her cleverness and winning ways. He vowed he'd make a scholar of her, if he worked his nails off to do it. "Well, th*? girl grew and grow, and last summer finished the coarse of the com? mon school, and in the fall wont off to Fort Hill Institute, in Tidewater. Tho old couple missed Jenny sadly, of course, and found the old houso lonely enough when the girl was gone. Their only consolation was their woekly letter, which oame in regularly every Wednes? day afternoon by the through mail. They used to come in together in their old buggy, every week, on Woduesday, in almost any weather, and get the letter. It got to be a standing saying among the men abont the station, 'There's John and Jane wants a letter from Jinny.' When 1 went down to the office to-day I Baw them coming over from tho post office. They oamo in. Both looked anxious and troubled." " 'Mr. Glenning,' says John, 'we haven't no word from our girl to-day. It's the first time it's missed, and we feel a little doubtsomo like. We want you to send word by tho telograph, and ask bow it is.* "I sent tho message to Jenny, at Fort Hill: " 'No lotter to-day. Anything wrong?' "In half an hour tho answer oame book: " 'Nothing wrong. Well and happy. " 'JENNY O'NEIL.' "The old pair wero in great glee ovor their 'letter by telegraph.' They wont off as happy as birds. That was about 2 o'clock. At 3.15 this came." Ho took out some tolegraph slips from his pocket, selcotcd ono and pushed it across thc table. Sho turned her bead and rend: "Jenny O'Neil died hero by an acci? dent this afternoon. Will you brook tho news?" It was addressed to a clergy man of Liu denbury, and sighed by the principal of the Tidewater. Glenning watched her as she read. He hod thought tho sad story would soften her. Bhe bad a woman's hean, I think; it did soften her. She, too, remembered the bright, fair-faced ' yoong girl on the North Bock Hoad. But she seemed to strive against the feeling; summoned her pride to steel her against letting him see. Her faco flushed up with a thrill of pity and sympathy; she could not see the work in her lap plainly for a dimness in ber eyes. But she bit her lip and kept back the tears that almost brimmed over, and foroed her fingers to. work on, loop upon loop. "Mary," he said-his voice was end and low; "I was wrong to say what I did. Ijwas hot and ill-tempered then, and hardly knew what I did. I'm sorry, Mary. Won't you let it go?" , He leaned' his head on his hand, look? ed -in her faoe, and waited for her to Speak. Sho did not raise her eyes. He went on, with, a very mournful tono. There w?s a wounded look in bis eyes; she knew it, though s1' ) did not turn her , own, or lift them from her lap. Very gravely ho talked on to her, pleaded with her earnestly and sadly. There was no reproach in his words, no noto of blame, though there was room. She kept her mask on well; ho thought shewn inmoved. But I think tho white teeth dosed upon tho lip iusido, and the woman's heart tbrobbod hotly under? neath. Suddenly sho started visibly; he must have seen it. But it was not foi anything be had said. She felt in hor pocket, turned over tho work-box by hoi side; got up and looked about tho room, pulled out a drawer or two, lifted a booli or a paper. Sho did not seem to fine anything; but came back and sat down a; before. "Henry," she said, "when you're ready, we'll havo our tea." Her voice was low and calm-plainly forced; she did'not lift her head. H< started up at that as if sbo bad Btrucl bim. A look of sharp pain leaped inte his face. Ho got up quickly, and walket about tho room, bis hoad Bbcut am his hands bchiud him, in a pitiful, aim less way. After a little, he stopped sud denly, facing the window. "Mary," ho said, "come here." Hi voice was stern. Sho got up and stood beside him. Tin curtains hung apart. He swept then wide with his band, and pointed tbruiigl tho glass. "Look," he said. Across the street she saw a lightei window, with the curtains drawn aside Inside, a thick-set and common-lookioj man was playing about the room, with curly-haired child; a woman by tho tabl looking on with a happy smile. As the; looked, a peal of ringing, childish laugh ter carno dimly to their ears. Ho let th curtain fall, leaned back against tho wal and looked her in tho face. Her eye flashed bright, an angrier flush swept ur and died her oheek deep red. Her word wore bitter when she spoke. "Well," she said, "what of all that Why didn't you marry Sue Stuart youl self? Tho fool would have had you fo asking." Sho laughed a bitter, mock in laugh. "I wish to God-" he began. .Bul h stopped. Sho went back ami sat by th table. Ho came and sat down oppositt He sat silent awhile, his head Bunk in b hands. The attitude was ono profound] mournful-the air of a traveler lost i some unexplored forest, who sits dow disheartened at last, finding no patl seeing no way to tho light. Astragglic lock of his hair fell down upon his fae He lifted his hand and drew out, on two, three gray hairs. "Look, Mary, he said, "I'll bo twenty-seven in Juno. That arrow touched her visibly; h hair and faco were not liko that whe they two married, ninoteen mouths agi He went on, with a mournful voice: ' was alone in tho world. I was lonol; and wanted help. I told you that tv years ago; you must remember, Mary, said I'd bo true to you through good < evil. God holping me, I'll keep n word. I said I'd try to make you ha py; I meant to be happy mysolf. meant to do right by you. In the mai I think I have; at least, I've honest tried. I've said hard words at time when I hardly knew what I said; f< thom I am honestly sorry, ns for all n failings in love and duty. We ought be happy together; wo aro neither of that; I hardly know why. I hardly kne how we came to this miserable pass, see no woy out of it now, for you or m God help and forgive us both!" She liftod her eyes from her lap at la? and turned upon bim, flashing seor "Henry Glenning," she said, frontil him full with a hot, flushed face, "wL do you want? Wbat would "you hav Am I happy? Have I no heart? i pulso? no nerves that can be cut ai stung? Because I am too proud to she my pain; because I will not mope whine; because I laugh to hido tho bitt ache and void; bite my lips till th bleed, and crush back tho sob th chokos, and tho tears that blind mc, i you think I am ice or stone?

I will not bear it. I warn you to beware. You may make their lies come true." . 'God forgive you !" he said. That was all. Ho got up and wont out. His bead was bent, his face was haggard, but neither angry nor stern. Slowly and sadly ho went down tho stairs. Ho wondered how it would end. Ho could not quite understand ber per? sistent anger, her fierce rejection of his overtures. Ho had boen wrong; ho owned it freely. His toniper was hot at times; but she could not but know that she bad tried^him beyond patience. No, ho could not.understand, or 6eo his way. Drawing ou his coat, his face was turned toward the stair. The gas-light shouo upon a folded paper lying on the second 6tep, soiled and torn. He stopped nud picked it up. He glanced inside; it was written in capital letters, apparently un? meaning. A horrible suspicion flushed upon him-might not what he hud over? heard bo true? He opened tho door and went out. Ho stopped at tho corner, under tho lamp, opened tho paper, and hold it to tho light. It was a sheet ol common noto paper, folded in thrco. A wet boot-heel had apparently trodden upon one sido as it lay in tho fold, and ground off a part of tho writing just be? low tho first four words. A pulpy shred connected thc parts, and showed what space was gone. This was what remained (1) O A: RQQT FGCT OCT & - -DQP I TT-ITTU ATSUG. (3) FI Sit BSYV KYEVH. (4) NET YB ERE H TEG. AJDXN XARENE. The rain dripped down upon tho pa per; ho sheltered it with his but, ant stood, with head bare, iu tho beating rain. Ho felt in his heart that thai fourth word could be but one. He fount tho key in a minute's time; a simple school-boy trick. He felt that that wort must bo Mary. Ho tried it through th? sentence, counting two letters back o-m-c-a-t-r-A-y. "My poor, dear Mary.' Tho rain dripped from his hair; h< shivered-was it with cold? Ho felt sicl and faint; ho thought he should fall. Hi saw tho lights cf tho Merriman Hous< over tho way. Ho staggered across through mud and water half-kuoe deep heeding neither gutter nor pool; went ii and up to the bar. "Brandy," ho said. Holiftod the bot tie; but his hand shook too much "Pour it." His voico sounded boars and strange. Thc barman took up th bottle and huif filled tho glass. Glen niug steadied himself by tho bar. H spilled a little as he lifted tho glass. H set it down empty. "More," ho said He drank it off, and went out. Th church clock was striking 8. He rai on down to tho station ; he was half ai hour late. Ho sat down at his dusk There was nothing going through tb wires front L. ; only now and theu som message about tho trains on thc railwa; lino. The cipher changed after that fm line. Tho burning spirit set him al ablaze; his brain was on fire, his heart leaden weight. Ho studied thoso ues legible words with a mad anxiety. The were plainly tho end of a sentence, th rest of which was gone. He tried th words this way and that-counted foi ward, backward, one lotter, two letters three, four, fivo. Ho felt suro it wo some simple trick of spelling, but h could mako no seuso of thom for a lon timo. Some ono came stamping in nc and thon out of the rain; but ho paid n heed, worked away at that terrible pu: zle that seemed so like child's play, an was, iu fact, such deadly, earnest work. "It may well be doubted," says Pot "whether human ingenuity can construe an enigma of this kind which human ii geuuity, if properly applied, may nt also resolve." lu a certain sense, this ii no doubt, true. In tho hiding of though as of treasure, it is always possible that second mind maj' invent or happen upo tho same method and place of con cen meut, and so discover the buried ston But I think I may safely engage to coi ceal a thought under a riddle of this so which shall be as long in the finding ; tho buried gold and jewels of tho piral captain, Kidd. Hero is this simpl cipher, which so cruelly perplexed pot Glenning that April evening. The hes that constructed it was-nono of the ol vere8t, and, by consequence, tho ridd was of the rudest and simplest. In thei next four words tho writer had hit, I good chalice, upon an expedient so sic pie, that* you may easily get at tho hi< den meaning, if you have quick mothe wit and good luck. Yet I challenge ar reader to go to work systematically, an unravel the onigma by any more logic process than that of happy guebsin Take tho words beforo reading further: DQPI TT-HTU ATSUG. Glenning wearied and fretted himsel to no purpose, with trial on trial. Thc ho tried the system commonly used wil these riddles, depending upon tho know excess in tho number of certain letters e, a, o, i, d, and so on, in their order, would not work. Ho was out again. Tl (rouble with that system, and simili ones, is, that they provide only for 3us< in which each character of tho cipher r fers uniformly to ono certain thing in tl underlying oxprossiou; and even he tho system may be easily stultified I tho omission of tho articles, and tho n of a little caro iu tho selection of tl words employed. In this particular instance, tho writi had happenod upon a pretty good pla but showed himself plainly indebted good luck rather than cleverness, by blunder whioh a little skill would ha' made him easily avoid. There was a fin in tho construction which gavo you a ch to tho possible plan. Glenning ht worked over the phrase till he was in de? spair of solving the terrible riddle. He leaned back in his chair, and olqsed bis tired eyes, with a baffled, booton look. Those cabalistic words stood out before his sight-burned upou Iiis brain in let? ters of fire. I do not think he would ever have construed them, but for the blunder of which I speak. It struck him suddenly, now; bo started forwnrd and looked. Tho second word of the four was ??TT." By the common assumption, npon which ho had worked all along, these two T's must refer to tho same cer? tain obaracter. ??TT" might, indeed, not bo a word at all; it might be a num? ber or a contraction. But the presump? tion was, that it represented a word of two letters. Then, if tho common as? sumption applied, this underlying word must be the double of some single letter. That was absurd on its face; no such combination, from double a to double z, forms any English word. Glenning caught at the suggestion with au cager (lash; he cursed his own blindness, for not seeiug it before. Ho saw that theso two T's could not stand for tho same thing-in other words, that thc cipher must have been formed upon a variable plan; that a character miglit have differ? ent meanings, dependent upon its place in tho sentence, or ot her pro-arranged relation. Ho Baw how this might bo easily dono in a hundred ways. He tried tho simplest possible-counting from the first letter ono forwnrd; from the second, two; from the third, threo-and so on. D-E, Q-S, P S, I-M-Essin. No; out nguiu, d-but stop. Is that tho simplest possiblo method? Hardly. The writer would naturally count for? ward; wo must count back. D-C, Q-O, P-M, I-E- Come. Hal ne counted out thc letters with a fierce haste. -Come on-nil right. It was maddening. What could it mean? It frightened him to think ; some devil's work, ho felt suro. Ho tried the next words. Tho cipher had changed again; he saw what those numbers meant now-saw it, and cursed them. "(1) (3)-(4)." Tho (2) was doubtless gone with tho part shredded off. These num? bers meant four different ciphers pre? arranged. Just then Station-master Farley came in and spoke to bim something about a 6ick friend, and a request that Glenning would attend to any business that should come in for him, till he got bock. Glen? ning tipped back in his chair, with his head thrown back, nnd his eyes staring up in the other's face. But while his eyes stared wide, his mind was all tho while working away at tho clumsy puzzle that yet had power to torment him intolera? bly. He nodded bis head when Farley had done; but, when he had gone out, what semblance of an idea Glenning lind ?f the wholo was some dim notion that Farley wanted him to answer messages that might come in about the trains. Farley had told him something of a train off time; but of that he remembered nothing. Ho worked on at the next four words. Bis wdiole beiug seemed to ceutre upon that ono torn, crumpled, mud-stained shred with its terrible hieroglyphics. Ho saw, knew, thought, felt, heard no other thing. After a whilo tho familiar sound of a message struck upon his ear, and partly roused him. ne took off the mes? sage mechanically: "Where is the Limo Lake Mail?" He read it over and over. The words conveyed no meaning to his brain. What ho did about it he knew not. The same message might havo como many times, for all he knew then. What answer went back, or whether any, ho knew no more. He tried tho words of tho cipher back aud forth, this wny and that, over and over again. But he got tho key* at last a stupid one enough-straight forward, counting four letters ahead. "Ann niOHT-COMB ON. BE ON YOCIS GUARD." What could it all mean? Ho worked away at tho rest, as ono might work a problem in a night-mare dream. All else seemed dim and strange, and far away; incu'a voices, now and then; doors open? ing and closing again; once tho bustle of a freight train going through. He heard these sounds in a strange jumble, with? out definite idea of their cause or mean? ing, and yet without surprise, like one in a real d ream. There was little or no work for the wires. What there was ho did without thought or understanding, with the machine-like motions of long acquired habit. He missed the key of the cipher this timo from its very nearness und simpli? city. The thought could hardly be said to be hidden. He counted forward, two letters, three, four, fivo, six, one; back? ward the same. He twisted tho words and tho letters; vexed himself fiercely to no purpose; all the while devouring with eagerness to know the meaning of this terrible riddle that fato had Bet him to solve, ne cursed himself for his stupi? dity, when at last he saw; the sentence was simply spelt backward, letters and words reversed. "GET HERE HY TEN." Just then a telegram clicked off tho wires. Ho Rat a moment like one dazed; thea tho instinct of long habit moved him agnin, and he worked tho instrument with his hand-God knows, not with his heart or brain. Ho looked up at tho clock on tho shelf; it wau ted five minutes of 10. He stag? gered out to the door, aud he let tho cold rain drive upon his head. TO PE CONTINUED. Fulton Market Beef.
