Without undue delay or reluctance Ihe rector of Saint Agatha's took ship for the south of France ; and in the comfortable way in which such things are don* in such quar- ter*, the church was set trundling upon the wheels of a two months' "supply." This was msnaged so gracefully by the experi- enced vestry of Sainl Agatha's that hardly a visible jar occurred in the prish machin- ery. Many of the people did not know that their rector had gone until a canon from London sonorously filled the pulpit one Sunday morning. A distinguished Middle State clergyman followed the next week ; the West sent her brightest and beet the succeeding Sunday, and so it went. Kminent var etjr easily occupied that sacred desk.

Now, upon the vestry there chanced at that time to lie one man who was " differ- ent." One does find such people even among the officers of fashionable churches. This man (he was, hy Hie way, a grand- nephew of the old lady who built the church when Saint Agatha's was an unendowed experiment) had occasional view* not wholly in harmony with the policy nf his brother otlicers ; and being himsell a heavy rate payer, was allowed, sometimes, by the graduate in the presence of lieoernl J.

She passed away in her unconsciousness, and afterwards when I looked more closely into th* uatur* of her injuries I wondered that she could have lived five minutes after the terrible fall that had beaten sensibility out of her over the windlass end. I went to the captain to report her death, and in a long talk I guve him my views of the tragic business. I said there could be no question that Mrs. Sheringham had fol- lowed the guilty couple to sea with a determination to so murder her husband a* to fix the crime of hi* death upon hi* paramour. How was this to be done ? Her discovery at her home of the dagger her husband had given to Leonora Dnnbur would perhaps give her the idea she needed If Mits Dunbar spoke th* truth, then indeed I could not account for the inscnp. tion on the dagger ; but there could be no question whatever that Mrs. Sherin^ham had been her husband's murderess. This was my theory, and it was after- wards verified up to the hilt. On the arriv- al of the Chiliman at Melbourne, M iss Dun- bar was sent home to take her trial for th murder of Mr. Sheringham: but her inno- cence was eetablished by, rirsl, the circum- stance of a woman having been found aboard dressed as a man ; next, by the statement of witnesses that a woman whose appearance exactly corresponded with that of "John Burgess" had been the rounds of ths shipping-otrices to inspect the liati of paiutnger* by vessels bound to Australia : thirdly, hy letters written to Leonora Dun- bar by Sheringham found among Mrs. Sheringiiam's effects, in one of which th* man told the girl that he proposed to carry her to Australia. Finally, and this was the most conclusive item in the whole catalogue oi evidence, an engraver swors that a wom- an answering to Mrs. Sheringhaiu'a descrip- tion called upon him with the dagger (produced in court), and requested him without delay to inscribe upon the thin plate, " Charles Winthrop Sheringham to Leonora Dunbar." And yet, but for the death of Mrs. Sher- inghain and my discovery of her sex, it was far more likely than not that hit wife would have achieved her aim by killing her hus- band anil getting her rival hanged for the murder. - {Harper's \\ eekly. i possible, i fast a* enough in town, but in the suburbs it was worse, and in the country it was little less than dsngerous to passengers through the wide, wind-swept street*, the choking lanes and Litter moors.
