(From Truth) "One more glass before you go, Gloam." : #No, thanks; 'you wine is very good, but --' "Ob, another glass won't hurt you; it's acold day, and you have a rail- way journey before you." ° So the Rev. Jude Gloam accepted another "lass of sherry. Some of his old colloge friends had been en- tertaifing him on the oceasion of his coming down to Oxford to take his M. A. degree ; and, after dinner, Mr. Gloam "was going off to War- wickshire to énter into possession of the living of Roleigh, to which he had been appointed, It was his first living, and constituted a lucky piece of preferment, for the income was substantial and Mr Gloam was but twenty-eight yearsold. The world seemed very fair to him as he drank that last glass of sherry. He was provided for for life; his friends wore all wishing bim joy; and the rev gentleman was really in capital tion in a hansom, towards eight o'clock, to catch the expressto Bir- mingham, * Be quick, sir," said the porter as he alighted ; "express starts in a minute," and Mr. Gloam bad just time to buy a ticket and dart across the platform. A porter opened the door of a first-class carriage for him; he jumped in ; the train started ; and the rector of Roleigh found himself seated opposite a nice-looking girl, who had a novel on her lap. " Quick work that," said Mr Gloam smiling at his companion. "Yes; you were almost late," answered the young lady with a laugh. "A minute one way or the other often mukes a great difference," said Mr. Gloam; and from that minute the pair went on talking about one thing and another. > Now, in his ordinary moods, Mr, Gloam wonld not have ventured so to talk with a strange young lady in 8 railway carriage. He was not | only discreet by profession, but was shy by npature--so shy, thatasa curate, he had often felt miserable from this constitutional infirmity, which prevented bim from getting on 80 * well with the fair sex of his parish as other livlier curates did.-- It had needed the last glass of wine which Mr. Gloam had drank and the subsequent excitement about hurry- ing to catch the train, lo embolden him to break the ice of reserve at ono stroke, as he bad just done. And, having broken it, he rather relished his plunge into conversational waters, His companion was preity and viv- acious, and seemed much disposed to chat--at least Mr, Gloam thought s0, for he was no physiognomist.-- The truth was, however, that the preity young lady was as shy as himself, and bad never before taken a railway journey alone. She talked because Mr. Gloam addressed ber, but she felt inwardly uneasy at finding herself solitary in the com- pany of a familiar clergyman whom she bad never seen before.-- What is more, she perceived that her companion was very much ex- cited. The fluency of bis talk the complacent feeling he experienced at having surmounted his timidity for once were completing the intox- jcation which the wine bad com- menced; and so it befol that after gabbling sbout railway trains, he touched on the weather, which led him to the cold and thence on to Christ mas snd Misletoe, "I suppose you will te very merry at Christmas time Miss-- Miss--; but you have not told me yet what your name is?' said the too forward ecclesiastic. «My name is Aviss," replied the young lady, much troubled by the strangeness of the query. « Aviss? Why that means a bird in Latin. What class of birds do you belong to--nightingales, wrens. In any ease I shall call you a bird of paradise." The young lady blushed but made no answer. «T mean, of course, that any place that you inhabited would become a paradise," explained the young Rector growing mor and more hil- arious. It is the case with shy men that, getting so little practice con- versing with women, they never know when to stop when they do got a chance of talking. Itis by shy men that the rudest things are habitaally said and done through sheor inexperience. Mr. Gloam had no idea that he was transgressing the proprieties, He thought he was making bimself very funny and agreeable. Io remembered that 4 spirits as he drove down 10 the 'Ata- |¥ ruffian train, of the Port Perry, June 32, 1881. Yaddy his fellow Curate in the, last the nightmare. 'train He unintentionally at asked parish where he had served, used to '|say the most startling things to girls who only giggled as if they Tiked it. Yaddy bad assured him that they liked it; and Yaddy was not an im- proper man by any means--much the contrary, he was trusted by mothers of all denominations,-- Thought Mr. Gloam as the train sped along : "Ihave heard Yaddy joke about mistletoe, and I am sure if he bad ben. with this pretty girl, he would have had a little brotherly fan with ber," for it was one of bon- est Yaddy's maxims thet we sre all brothers and sisters here below, and ought to behave as such. "1 say, Miss Avis," stuitered the Rov. Jude, with a leer, "supposing there were a piece of misletoe in this carriage ?" No answer from the girl, but ber eyes opened wido, and she shrank up trembling in the corner of the carriage, : «I--I think there is 'a piece; look there!" continued the foolish man, pointing to the lamp in the ceiling for ,he meant to bo fucetious. The girl was now fairly frightened and moving from her seat to the further corner of the carriage. She had heard of drunken ruffians insult- ing ladies in railway carriags, and she set down her reverened compan- ion {as being drunk and possibly a No doubt bis clarical garb was only a disguise. " What are you running away for ?"" asked Mr. Gloam as he rose up to fellow her with unsteady gait, caused not so much by his tip- siness--for he was not regularly tipsy--as by the oscillation of the But to the affrighted girl who saw him stagger, it looked as it he were dangerously*inebriated, "If you approach another step, sir, I shall scream 1" cried she, start. ing up with all the color fled from her face, « What for ?" asked the Rev Jude, and putting out his hand to steady himself, he quite rested it on her shoulder. The meve- mont of recoil which this apparent assault caused the girl to make threw Mr. Gloam off his balance, and be plumped into the seat from which she bad risen. This only increased the girl's fright, and wildly opening the window of the carriage, she screamed: "Help! help! murder!" In an instant Mr'Gloam was sober. The girl's shrieks cleared all the fumes of the wine from bis brain and showed him in what a desporate position he bad placed himsolf. For God's sake don't scream like that," be implored, "you'll ruin me ;" and seizing the girl by the waist he wrenched the girl from the window. « Help I" she gasped as she fell on one of tho seats, and struggled to regain her footing. « Miss Aviss, for God's sake, let me explain, entreated Mr. Gloam, seizing her bands, but the horrible fear that was legible on his face made him a more dreadful object to look at than before, while the vio~ lence he used to restrain the girl robbed her of all presence of mind. Disengaging berself from him, she tottered towards the nearest door, and frantically torned the handle.-- A blast of cold night air flew into the carriage, and a shower of sparks from the cngine was seon flying by. Mr. Gloam made a grab at the girl to draw her back ; she eluded him and screnming louder than ever, tried to step on the footboard. Then there was another faint shriek, and all was silence, The door swing- ing forward = by the impetus curve, closed of its own accord. The girl had slipped and was gone. : "Great God I" muttered Mr Gloam when one awful moment had e'apsed He bad taken of his hat, and wus stroking his forehead, und he sat endeavoring to realize what had happened. whether he was not in the midst of a If the train had stopped at that minote he would not been able to crawl out, and anyone who had seen bim must have suspected him of a crime, During & quarter of an hour the poor wretch could neither stir nor think lucidly; be conld neither stir nor think lucidly ; he could only moan and tremble.-- What fisrt recalled bim to hi was the sight of thethings which poor girl--now dead, beyond doubt--had left in the carriage.-- There was a shawl, a traveling bag, a novel; and on the floor a small gold watch without a chain. The sight of there articals stirred in the unwillsng murderer the sense of self preservation. He caught them up one by one and flung them out of the window iato the dark; bimself Ze after which he creeped on his knees and looked under the seats to see if anything else had bei left. He found nothing. Pitable ds his agony of mind then waa, he saw, the seces- sity of composing himself ; and sat down sgain, trying'to reflect. Had any of the' pAssAngers in other car- riages heard the girl bhrik? and if how would it justify him ? The. publis. outery against it were beliey. was a clergmitn sand «new that be. had thrown thE girl's things "but of his panic, theevidencq of criminal intention * would seem complete: " Why did I throw the things out faltered Mr. Gloam, speaking to him- self; and them he groaned again: "My God, what shall Ido 1" It was between Lcamington and Birmingham that the girl had fellen out of the train. As the express neared Birmingham the tension on Jude Gloam's nerves were such as fow men ever experienced. Within five minutes he endured an amount of terror and anguish enough to spend over a life time; yet he had the craft to see that all his chances of escaping unsuspected might de- pend on his behaviour when "the train etoped. He must alight quite coolly, he must not run nor apgear anxious to get away ; he mnst con- trol his terrors, though his heart throbbed to bursting. The train glided into the station; the porters ran along the platform, opening d 0:8; one of them opened Mr. Gloam's carriage :--* Any lug- gad®, sir?' "Yen, I have some luggage." said Mr, Gloam,and he stepped out, shak- ing in every limb, but apparently sedate and calm, as it beboves a clergyman.to be. Next moment he was mixed up with the throng ot people whe were foraging for their trunks and portmanteaus. Nobody paid any attention to him. He heard no one talk about shrieks having been heard daring the jour- ney. The passengers attended to their own busipess and left him to his. My. Glodm's' beginesy was to collect a portmanteau, a box and a hamper; having dono this he torn- od to ask a porter to call a cab for him, but as he was about to speak his words froge to his tounge, for be saw atanding. beside him a girl who was the very image of Miss Aviss. 1f the girl had looked at him she must have noticed his confusion, but she was glancing towards an elderly gentleman and lady who were walk: ing towards her. "Here's her box, papa, but I've not seen hor pass ;" said the girl to, the elderly couple. " We have looked in every ecarri- age,"'said the ~gentlomen, nddressed as papa ; "but. she hasn't come. I suppose she missed the train." " But how comes her box to be here ?" "Wasn't there a change of carri- uges somewhere between this and London?' suggested the elderly lady. «1 think there's a change at Didcot. Perhaps she, got out there and after. wards entered the wrong train." " How provoking I" exclaimed the girl. " Idare say we shall find a tele gram when we get home," said the elderly gentleman ;.¢' but we must ask the station-master (o take care of Mary's box until she comes to claim it." M#. Gloam had glanced at the box, beside which the girl stood, and he saw on it a card with the name: "Miss, Mary Avis." The with whom he had traveled: 'pissed him, Then he belped the porter to lift "his portmanteau, and walked with him toa cab. He bad a six miles' drive .before:he gould reach his parish of Borleigh, which was on the outskirls'of Birmingham. Ilow- ever the drive was sccomplished in safety and that night was spent by Mr. Gloam, slcepless, in "his new parsenage. The body of Miss Aviss was found dead on the line early on the follow ing day ; and afterwards ber travel: ing bag was discovered twenty miles further down the line. But for this discovery of the bag, the poor girls death would have boen attribut- If | b l ated that body must have bad a share in her death noticed that there was a in the compartment; ai | owing to this slight fact of non- observance,the story of Mary Aviss! death was fated to remain a mys~ communicated the facts in writing some five years after they had . hap- pened.
