Mr. Ryder further in formed her that these gentlemen had only stipulated that they should pot reveal their real names, and that they should be intro duced to her simply as the respective ‘'Seven ty-four” and “Seventy-five” who had signed the dispatch sent to the late Mr. Rightbody. Mrs. Rightbody at first demurred to this; but, on tho assurance from Mr. Ryder that this was the only condition on which an interview would be granted, finally con sented. “Yqu will find them square men, even if they are a little rough, ma’am. But, if you d like mo to bo present, I’ll stop; though I reclion, if ye’d calkilatcd on that, you’d have had mo take care o’ your business by proxy, and not come yourself throe thousand miles to do it.” Mrs Rightbody believed it liettcr to see them alone. “All right, ma’am. I’ll hang round out here; and cf ye should happen to hev a tick lin’ in your throat, and a bad sjxill o’ coughin’, I’ll drop in, careless like, to see if you don’t want them drops. Sabo ?” And with an exceedingly urch wink, anu a slight familiar tap on Mrs. Rightbody’s shoul der, which might have caused tho late Mr. Rightbody to burst his sepulchre, ho with drew. A very timid, hesitating tap on tho door was followed by the entrance of two men, both of whom, in general size, strength, and uncouthnen, were ludicrously inconsistent, with their diffident announcement. They proceeded iu Indian file to the center of the j i-oom, faced Mrs. Rightbody, acknowledged Iter deep courtesy by a strong shako of the hthd, ami, drawing two chairs opposite to her, sat down side by side. “I presume I have tho pleasure of address ing—” began Mrs. Rightbody. The man directly opposite Mrs. Rightbody turned to the other inquiringly. The other man nodded his head, and re plied: “Seventy-four.” “Seventy-five,” promptly followed tho other. Mrs. Rightbody paused, a little confused. “I have sent for you,” she began again, “to loom something more of the circum stances under which you gentlemen sent a dispatch to my lato husband.” “Tho circumstances,"tcplkfc Seventy-four, quietly, with a side glance at his companion, “panned out about in this yer style.

Yet she felt a little nerv- j u j. “Never. ” “But you say he was college bred, and bom i gentleman, and in his youth he must have lad many friends.” “Alice,” said the young man gravely, “when ; ! have done something to redeem my name and wear it again before these people, before 1 j/om, it would bo w'eil to revive the past. But till then ” But Alice was not to be put down. “I re member,” she went on, scarcely heeding him, “that when I came in that night papa was reading a letter and seemed to be discon certed.” “A letter?” “Yes; but,” added Alice, with a sigh, “when we found him here insensible, there was no letter on his person. He must have destroyed it.” “Did you ever look among his papers? If j found it might be a clew.” Tho young man glanced toward the cabi net. Alice read his eyes and answered: “Oh, dear, no! The cabinet contained only his i>ai>ers, all perfectly arranged—you know how methodical were his habits—and some old business and private letters, all carefully put away.” “Let us see them,” said the young man, ris- ing. They opened drawer after drawer; files upon tiles of letters and business papers accu rately folded and filed. Suddenly Alice ut tered a little cry and picked up a quaint ivory paper knife lying at the bottom of a drawer. * “It was missing the next day and never could be found; he must have mislaid it here.

Mrs. Rightbody inwardly doubted it; but, before she could ask another question, the two men again retired to the corner for consulta tion. When they came back there was a , shade more of kindliness and confidence in their manner, and Seventy-four opened his mind more freely. “Wo wish to say, ma’am, locking at the thing, by and large, in a for-minded way, that, cz you seem interested, ami cz Mr. Rightbody was interested, and was, accord- to all accounts, deceived and led away by Silsbie, that wo don't mind listening to any proposition you might moke as a lady—allow in’ j ou was ekally interested.” “I understand,” said Mi's.

Howbeit, Miss Alice, returning homo that afternoon, found her mother with a violent headache. “Wo will leave here by the next steamer,” ■aid Mrs. Rightlxxly languidly. “Mr. Ryder has promised to accompany us.” “But, mother ” “Tho climate, Alice, is overrated.

Ho took tho letters and in silence i*ead them with her. They were old college letters, so filled with boyish dreams, ambi tions, aspirations, and Utopian theories, that I fear neither of these young people even recognized their parents iu tho dead ashes of the past. They were both grave, until Alice uttered a little hysterical cry and dropped her face in her hands. Joe was instantly be- i side her. “It's nothing; Joe, nothing.

One day Mr. Brant got hold of a file, tried it on the bars of his window, found it worked to a charm, filed the bars in two, made a knotted ropo from Ills bod clothes, let himself down to the ground, and has never been heard of from that day to this.
