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 went on, with a mournful voice: '

warn you to beware. You may make

. '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

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

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.
