Suddenly the latter laid a hand on her husband's arm to bespeak his attention. “What. is it?” he asked. "I heard nothing." " There was a. noise of wheels a mo- ment ago, and now it has ceased. It aoqqdegl as if some vehicle had stopped In he)! an hour James Maynard, the signalman, would 'be due at his box to take his "spell " of night-duty. His thick blue overcoat was hanging behind the door, ready to put on. his wife was washing up the crockery and Maynard himself was smoking a. last after-tea pipe before leaving home. He was a. well-built stalwart man. with a jet- black beard and mounache. and close- out hair of the same color. to which his dark-blue eyes offered a somewhat 1 striking contrast. He had been about three months in his present situation. and among the drivers and guards who worked the traffic between the junction nnd the collieries he had come to be known by the sobriquet of "Gentle- man Jim." It was not that he ever set himself up as being in anyway superior to a- different from his mates; indeed. he was universally popular; but these grimy-faced men. who in their way are often keen observers of character. had an instinctive feeling, that although ne- cessity might have made him one of them to outward seeming, he was not so in reality, and that at some anter- ior time his position in life must have been widely different from that which he now occupied. But genial and good- utured though “ Gentleman Jim " might be. he was a. man who hrooked no questioning and no one thereabouts knew more about him than he chose to divulge of his own accord. an arrangement or levers inside it. for working the points and signals in conâ€" nection with the traffic to and from the collieries. At the time of which we write two men were stationed at the box in question. who came on duty turn and turn about. in each case a week of day-duty alternating with one of night-duty. The cottage of one of the signalmen was about half a. mile from the box. on the road leading to the collieries ; while that of his "mate " was about a quarter of a. mile down the road in an opposite direction. Into this second cottage, which stood by itself in a lane a little removed from the high road. and having no habitation near it. we will venture.
