Never in his life had he felt so utterly perplexed. He could hear an easier conversation going on a little distance away; but all sounds now ame dull and muffled to his ears. tion of any kind was within ken; but by day a. haze of smoke in the distance told of life and labor not far away.

Gerald. sat, reading. but. with his ear on the alert: {or the ting of the telegraph bell which should tell him when the minim train had. passed‘ Mallingfield, the nearest station south,j five miles away. All at once ho was‘ startled by the sound of someone cough- ing, evidently just outside his box. It was a. sound so unexpected and sur- prising in that lonely spot and at that hour of the night that he sprang to his feet, while his nerves began to flut- ter strangely. Next moment there come a. loud rapping at the door. as it might be with the handle of a. walk- lngwtipk. Gerald opened the door at to the bankgrou-nd; and having been planted with his back to a. tree, he was bound firmly to it with several 10.1115 of thin cord. The cloth which still enveloped. his head was fastened 1005er round. his throat, so as not {catty to impede his breathing; but . :9 voice would have been smothered in it had. he even been in a. position to call for help. on his hands, and always brought a volume with him to help to while the long dark hours away. The signal-box, the entrance to which was reached by a. flight at eight. or nine steps, stood. on a small space of cleared ground by the side of thâ€" line. A littlo way back was a low embank- moat crowned by a hedge. overshadow- ed hare and there by an umbrageous beach or elm, beyond which the open fields stretched tar and wide.

Then: with a. man on each side oh him hold- lng hm by an arm, he was conducted w '_,, 7 77* vrgi road Thenâ€"-â€"” Not a. word more spoke Gerald. A soft heavy cloth of some kind was sud- denly thrown over his head, while at the same instant his arms were .pin- ioned firmly from behind, and a. cord with a. running noose was drawn tight- ly round his legs. The attack was so sudden that he was powarless to make the least resistance. and in less than halt-3.410201: seconds he found himself as helpless as a. babe. Then aoorner ottho cloth that enveloped his head was tamed. and the Shaun parson said in his most 0in tones: “My friend. if yon have any regard for life you will neither cry out nor attempt to make the least disturbance. Be obedient and good, and no harm shall befall you.” .23 if‘ to add emphasis to the warning, ones, and. then he saw a. portly mid- dle-aged mu, dresed in black, with a. white cravat and. spectaclesâ€"to all apâ€" pearance a clergymanâ€"standing at the foot of the steps and gazing bland- ly up at him. erg "And after that you will find a foot- patl} wg'goh willnbwing you to the high- “My good man," interrupted the stranger. "I am somewhat deaf, and cannot hear what you say. I wish you would be good enough to come a. little nearer. \Vith my defective eye- sight, I dare not trust myself upthese steps of yours.” Gerald stepped do'wn without hesita- tion; “You must cross the line." he began again in a somewhat louder key. “and about twenty yards farther on you will find. a. gap in the hedge." "Yes, yesâ€"a. gap in the hedge, I uqderstand," responded the other ea...- "My good man," said. the stranger, in unotuons but well-bred accents“ “I am a stranger in these parts, and am sorry to say that I have lost my way.

Thus it fell out that Gerald had plenty of spare time me not of a. very onerous nature. The last passenger train from Cum- mcrhays, which also carried the mail, mused. nt eightâ€"thirty; and the last train to that plum till the arrival of the morning mail, at a few minutes past ten o’clock. In the course of the night two or three trains of mixed mer- chandise and minerals passed through without stopping, and. these, together Gerald Brooke having relieved his "mate" Lucas at tho signal-box, and having satisfied himself that his lamps were properly trimmed and set for the night, sat down in his box to read.

Then she became aware of two dusky figures standing at little distance away, whom she rightly concluded to be the other members at the gang; but still her husband was nowhere to be seen. She had arrived on the spot :11- most immediately after Ucruld had been bound to the tree; but the night “as too dark to admit of her seeing him from thttt distant'e.
