THE fTSST HALF.
Wet and dreary. It is midwinter; the
goane is Kirklington, on the London and
Northwestern; the time quarter to 11;
Juat after the night mail had flashed
through without stopping—bound for
Liverpool and the north. The railway
official* are collecting, preparatory to
goingoff duty for the night
« “Where’s DianT” asked one of the crowd
anon the platform.
“I saw mm in the hut lust after the
quarter to 11 went through. Can’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? Dirty
clothes? What?
A baby—a child half a dozen weeks
old, no more.
"Where did you oome across it?” asked
one.

A new parson—Harrold Treffry—had
oome lately to Kirklington.
He is now paying a round of paroobial
visits, accompanied by an old college
chum, who is spending Christmas with
him.
" Yonder,” said Treffry. pointing to a
thin thread of smoko which rose from
some gaunt trees into the sullen wintry
air, "yonder is tire house—if, indeed, it
deserves so grand a name—the hovel

a sign, or cry, or laugh, or to take the

Jack, I believe you’re the very man.
You might get at him through the chil

yours, those surprising tricks; a child
takes to you naturally at once. Try and

Jack Newbiggin was by profession a
conveyancer, bit nature ted intended
him for a new Houdm, or a wizard of
the north. He was more than half
professional by tho 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 occasion
surprise his audience considerably by his
ling to enchain the

said, as he took a small, carefully folded
iper from between the leaves of the
ible, "do you see this?”
It was half a Bank of England note for
£100.
"How, sir, could any conjuror help me
to the other half?”
“How did you come by it?” asked Jack
at once.
"PH tell you, dr; short as I can make
It. Conjuror or no conjuror, you’ve got
a kindly heart, and I’m main sure that
you’ll help If you can.”
Dan then described how be had picked
up the basket from the 10:45 Liverpool
express. .
•‘There was the Unen; I’ve kept It See
here; all marked mute pretty and pro
per, with lace round the edges, as though
Its mother loved to make the little one
smart”
. Jack examined the linen; it bore a
* monogram and crest. Tho first bo made
out to mean II. L. M , and tho crest was
plainly two hammers crossed, and the
motto, "I strike”—not a common crest—
and he never remembered to have smu
It before.
And was that ail?
"'Cent the bank note. That was tn a
poor old purse with a pawn ticket and a
thimble. I kept them all”
like a true deteotive Jack examined
every article minutely. The purse bore
the name Hester Gorrigan, in rude let
ters inside, and tho pawn ticket was
out in the same name.
"Are you prepared to go on?” said th*
baronet, haughtily, to Jack.
“Certainly.
"What does this pockctbook contain?"
“Evidence.”
“Evidence of what?"
“Of facts that must, sooner or later,
come to light.”
“What ridiculous nonsense! I give
you my word that this pocket book con
tains nothing—absolutely nothing—but
a Bonk of England note for £100.”
“Stay t” said Jack Newbiggin, facing
him abruptly, and speaking in a voice of
ider. “It is

not so—you
ly the half!”
And as he spoke he took the pocket-
book from the hands of the really stupi-
tied baronet, and exhibited, for inspec
tion—tl>e half of a Bank of England note
for £100.
There was much applause at this harm
less and successful denouement of what
threatened at one stage to lead to alter
cation, perhaps to a quarrel But Jack
Newbiggin was not satisfied.
“As you have dared me to do my
worst,” said he, ’•listen now to what I
have to say. Not only did I know that
was only the half of a note, but I know
where tne other half is to be found.” *
“Bo much the better for me,” said the
baronet, with an effort to appear humor
ous.
“That other half was given to—shall I
say. Sir Lewis?”
Sir Lewis nodded indifferently.
“It was given to one Hester Corrigan,
an old nurse, six years ago.”
“SilenceI Say no more,” cried Sir
Lewis in horror.
Sir Lewis had been a
Sir Lewis had been a younger son; the
eldest inherited the family title, but died
early, leaving his widow to give him a
posthumous heir, tho 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
hod the first information of the fact, put
into execution a nefarious project winch
he had carefully concocted in advance.
A girl was obtained in a foundling hos
pital and substituted by Lady
nurse, who was in Lewis’ pay, for
newly born son and heir,
heir was handed over to another accom
plice, Hester Corrigan, who was bribed
with £100, half down, in the shape of a
half note, the other half to be tuiia when
she announced her safe arrival in Texas
with the stolen child. It occurred to
Mrs. Corrigan in her transit between
London and Liverpool that though £100
would bo acceptable on her arrival, the
child would be only an encumbrance.
She therefore threw the basket contain
ing him out of tiie window, forgetting
that in it she had for safety deposited her
puree.
It was the watch borrowed from Sir
Lewis Mallaby which first aroused Jack’s
suspicions. It bore the same crest two
hammers crossed, with the motto, “I
strike”—which was marked upon the

tho mark, as we have sceu.
Lewis Mallaby'g confusion, combined
with tliat of Mrs. Corrigan, who was
found by the polico, soon reinstated the
rightful l.uir, and Dan Blockitt in afte
years had no reason to regret the KB’ *

THE SECOND HAIJ.
When Jack Newbiggin got back to the
parsonage he found that ms host had ac
cepted an invitation for them both to
dine at the “big house,” os it was called,
the country scat of the squire of the
parish.
I have been flkhting your battles all
day,” began MreT Sitwell, tho hostess,
when sealed at dinner next to Jack.
Was it necessary? I should hav*
thought myself too insignificant.”
“They were talking at lunch of your
wonderful tricks in conjuring, and one
said that tho skill might prove Inconven
ient—when you played cards, for in
stance.”
A charitable imputation; with whom
did it originate?”
“Sir Lewis Mallaby.”
“Please point him out to me.”
He was shown a grave, scowling faos
upon the right of the hostess—a face like
a mask, the surface rough and wrinkled,
through which the eyes shone with a
baleful light, like corpse candles in a
ulcher.
. ack let his companion chatter on. It
waa his habit to get all the information
possible about any company In which he
ound himself, for his own purpose as a
ant, and when Mrs. Sitwell
he plied her with artless ques
tions, and led her on from one person to
another, making mental notes to serve
him hereafter. It is thus by careful and
laborious preparations that many of the
jigo and bcemingly mysterious feats
of the clairvoyant conjuror are per
formed.
When the whole party were assembled
In the drawing room after dinner a
chorus of voices, headed by that of the
, summoned Jack to his work.
There appeared to be only one dissen
tient, Sir Lewis Mallaby, who not only
did not trouble himself to back up the
invitation, but when the performance
was actually begun was at no pains to
conceal his contempt and digust.
The conjurer made the conventional
hat, fired wedding
did all man-
tricks, pistol
tricks, and juggled on conscientious!
right through his .repertory. There was,
Dover a smile on Sir Lewis’ face;
They entered the miserable dwelling
together. Tho children—eight of them
—were ail skirmishing over the floor,
except one, a child of 6 or 7, a bright
eyed, exceedingly beautiful boy, tho
least—were not nature’s vagaries well
known—likely to be bom among and be
long to such surroundings, who stood be
tween the legs of the man himself , who
had his back to the visitors, and was
crouching low over the scanty fire.
lbs man turned his head for a mo
ment, gave a blank stare, then an im
perceptible nod and onoe more he glow
ered flown upon the fire.

And he handed it back to Sir Lewis,
who received it with ill concealed satis

failure in tho proposed trick as at the re
covery of his property.
Another watch, however, was pounded
into a jelly and brought out whole from

up in advance. Let him be tried with
