That difficulty disposedd another arose. Like many men who are recklessly extrava- ant in indulging in some particular taste, fieptimus was extremely frugal, not to say parsimonious, in triflcs. Now, the cab tare to Turnham. teen was lar er than he cared to ay. He t xerefore decided that he would go train ; the hooks would be quite as safe m e guard's van as on the roof of a four- wheel cab. There was a metropolitan rail- way station within a stone’s throw of the auction-rooms, and a couple of men would carry the box across the road for a shilling. Just as he had decided upon this economica plan a friend of his, Justinian Jaypen, en- tered the auction-rooms. Sepcimus hardly listened to the man’s chatter. He paid for the box, and it was _duly conveyed tq t_l_m {motion-room, and the ' “ Though a customer who bought one very like it. a few weeks ago said he chose it on that very amount,” went on the shopman, glibly. “ No accounting for tastes â€"-is there .4.- 9" Se-ptimué shiver-ed uncomfortably as he glgpggd do_wn at the case. “ You ain’t superstitious, sir, I'm glad to see,” remarked the master of the shop, a talkative little man with very keen gray eyes. “ To tell you the truth, many people wouldn’t buy that. box because it looks so much like a coffin. That is why it is so cheap.’_’ be overcome one of the numerous brokers who invariably hung about the auction- moms, guessing the difficulty he was in sug- gested to him to pay a. visit to n secondhand shop in the neighborhood for the purpose of buying some box or packing casein which the books could be sent home. Septilnm immediately acted upon the proposal, and after some deliberation at the shop he select- ed a long, black-painted boxgyhich was not only extrer‘ely cheap, but was sufficiently room to hold a. far greater number of books than he had purchased. H V'nn n:n’b ....... nu“... _:.. ‘n_ _LJ . -When the day of the sale came Septimus started off in high spirits to the auction- rooms of Messrs. Bricabrae 6:. Rococo. To his great joy the collection contained some unique Works, and, as it was nearly the end of the season and money was particularly scarce just then, he secured some veritable bargains. So elated was he at his good for- tune that he bought much more largely than he had inten ed, and by the time the sale was over he was tonished to find how his pur- chases had ltiplied. They really formed a formidable heap, which would not be easy to transport to Turnham Green. \Vhile ‘wondering as to hoyv this diliicultv was to approaching sale of a. most remarkable and valuable library which was to be bron ht to the hammer without reserve. The ok- worm’a heart rejoiced at the pros ect of se- curing some grout prize; and, as e was not a Eoor man, he resolved to outbid any one 1!! 0 might also have cast covetous eyes on the choxcest volumes in the collection.

Septimus, who was growing more drowsy every minute, took his ticket to Turnham Green, had his box labeled, and, when his train came in, he saw his treasure put in the guard‘s van, and then he stumbled into a ‘ second-class compartment and fell fast asleep.

The long, heavy, black box of books was hauled on the top of e four-wheel cab, and the two biblio- maniacs drove off to Victoria, deposited the packing-case in the cloak-room, duly obtain- ed a receipt for it, and then drove to the Palladium. As Septimus had anticipated, Jnypen paid the fare, for though the jollfh looking bibliomeniac was not particular y rich, and had a wife and children to support, he was not the sort of a man to look twice at a shilling before he spent it. ml._ L, I Septimus' face brightened.

But though it made him sick to think of the collin and its silent occn nt he dared not be absent n moment mm the study, lest the curiosity of the servants might lend them to pry into the case. So he ordered breakfast to be served there, and naturally the neighborhood of the hor- rible thing in the colfin did not give him an appetite for his morning outlet. The only feasible plan that suggested itself to his stunned mind was to at rid of the dreadful thing without (10 ny. Per- haps he might be able to get it down to the Thames and consign it to a. watery ave. But one thing was certain, he coud do nothing that night. So, cautious] and with as little noise as possible, he ma e the case secure, locked the study-door on the outsidc,nud tattered back to bed, where he tossed in favored sleeplessness until morning downed. 1a; hcnt down’m examine it more close- ly, and. as he looked, every atom of flesh on his bones crept with horror. The coffin was screwed down, and a slight tap on it satisfied him, from the desdened sound that it was not empty. Not a doubt that it ' held an occupantâ€"a corpse. With chatter- ing teeth and trembling limbs Septimus ; sank back in a heap on the ground. Drops of cold sweat stood on his forehead as he thought of all the blood~cnrdling stories he had heard as a child about secret murders, bodv-snatching, and the like. Perhaps hidden in that cotlin reposed the mangled remains of a murdered human being. or perhaps a corpse sacrilegionslf stolen from its resting-place, or what shou d have been its resting-place, in some ancestral family vault. In either case, what a dreadful position he was placed in! If any of his servants saw the whastly thing what inter- pretation would e placed on its presence there? He, Septimus Brown, bookworm‘ and recluse though he was, wouldbe brand ‘ ed as the accomplice of murderers or body~ snatchers. Good heavens ! “'us be dreaming or was in) the victim of some strange hallucination? The case contained not booksâ€"not one of the precious tomes he lovedâ€"but. n coflin ! Septimns rubbed his eyes and looked again. No ; it was no In Llluoinntion, nor was he dremning. There it was, visible to the eye and palpable to the touchâ€"a coiiin ! at having secured so many valuable books at such a moderate price, drove sleep from his eyelids. After tossing about for two or three hours he rose, donned his dressing“ gown, and descended to his study, lump in hand. it was his custom, when atllieted with sleeplessness, to read for an hour or tWo some ahstrusc work of religious coutro~ versy, which generally had the dcsirul so~ poriiie ell'cet. But when he reached his study, and beheld the box containing his new treasures, an irresistible impulse prompted him to open it and and glance over the contents. As he examined it he was somewhat surprised to find how carefully the lid was nailed down. No doubt the‘ broker, knowing the value of the books, had taken especial pains to secure their safety, 1 Septimus was a tidy and a handy man; he 3 possessed a neat box of tools, which had saved him many a shilling in the matter of small household repairs. Arming himself with a chisel, he knelt down and carefully began to loosen the nails which fastened down the lid of the case. After some min- utes, and with considerable diiliculty, he drew the last nail, and eagerly pushed up: the lid. ' Lnto that night.

At the hour he had fixed a cab drew up to the door. Septimus ordered the dreadful box to be put on the roof, and had just given the cabnmn directions to drive to Charing Cross station, when one of three men whom he had noticed hanging about the road stepped forward and civilly accosted him. ' \Vith characteristic indecision he resolved to put off all active measures until the next day. That night he slept heavily and woke late. Feeling very much refreshed, he went down-stairs to unlock the study. There the box was safe and sound in its old position under the table. So fur, so good. Septimus rang for breakfast, and ordered a. cab to be at the door by 11 o’clock. He was goin ' into the country for a few days, he informeil his housekeeper, but would only require a change of linen to be packed in his Glad- stone hug2 to him and give it up to the proper author- ities. But Septimus was such an errant coward that he dared notofdce the possibility of being suspected of a crime ; and to have a dead body hidden in a. coflin in one’s pos- session hus an ugly look. '\Vould this story of the two boxes be" believed ? He was afraid to risk it. Instead, he began to plan all sorts of desperate schemes for getting rid of that horrible incubus. But somehow the day passed and he had done nothing, and when the evening came he was so worn out with worry and want of sleep that he felt quite unable to carry out a project that appeared to him tolerably easy of exe‘ cationâ€"to take the box on a second railway journey and lose it. As has been already intimated, Septimus was not a. brave man. Of course, the sim- Blest, most straightforward, and therefore est course to pursue would have been to go to Yictoria‘ with the box that did not bel_oug Meanwhile the unfortunate Septimus was left alone to face his diflieultics. The sight. of his old friend had, however done him good. At first he had been fri htened to think how the box and its terrih e contents had come into his possession in lieu of his own‘ property. But now common sense came to his aid and suggested that owing to his flustered state on the previous evening some mistake must have occurred at the cloak-room. “There’sa screw loose somewhere,” he said to himself. as he left the house. “ I am sadly afraid that “poor old Brown has rats in the upper story.” And he touched his; foreheag significqntly. J uypen’s Taco fell, He was really curious to see what his friend had bought. He thought Septimus’ manner decidedly odd, but he forhoro to press the matter and soon took his leave. “ The fact is, my dear Joypen,” he said, nervously, “ if you don’t mind, I would rather you did not look at- the books today. Someâ€"crâ€"other time I shall beâ€"cr delight- ed to show you the whole collection.
