The asleep, too. yét'in a' half conseious propriety of attitude, shown even in the disposition of the handkerchief which she held to her forehead and which partly veiled her face. The lady from Virginia City, traveling with her husband, had long since lost all individuality in a wild con- fusion of ribbons veils, furs and shawls. There was nosound but the rattling of wheels and the dash of rain upon theroof. Suddenly the "| stage stopped and we became dimly aware of voices. The driver was evidently in the midst of an exciting colloquy with which such fragments as "bridge came a lull, and a mysterious 'voice adjuration-- " ry Miggles's." We caught a glimpse of our leaders as the vehicle slowly turned, of a horgeman - vanishing through the rain, and we were evidently on our way to Migyles's. Who and where was Miggles' # -- The. judge, - our authority, did not remomber the name, and he knew the country thoroughly. The Wus- hoe trayeler thought Miggles must keep an hotel. . Woonly knew that we were stopped by high water in front and rear, and that Miggles was our rock of refuge. A ten minutes' splashing through a tangled by-road searcoly wide enough for the stage, and wo drew up before a barred and boarded gute a in wide stone wall er fence 'about aight feet high. Rvi- dently Miggles's and Miggles did not keep a hotel. The drivergot down and tried the gate, It was securely locked, "Miggles! O Miggles |" No angwor. " Migg-ells! Yon Migg les!" eon- tinned the driver, with rising wrath. *Migglesy I" joined in the ex- pressman, persnasively. "O Miggy Mig!" But no reply from the apparently insensate Miggles. The judge, who had finally got the window down, Put his head out and propounded a aerjes of questions, which, if answer- od eategorically, would have undoubt- edly elucidated the whole mystery, but which the driver evaded by re- plying that "if we didn't want to sit in the coach all night, we had better rise up and sing out for Miggles." So wo rose up and called on Mig. gles in chorous; thon seporately.-- And when we had finished, a Hiber- nian fellow-passenger from the roof called for Mygells I" whereat we all laughed. While we were laughing, the driver cried "Shoo!" We listetened. To our infinite was repeatgd from the other side of the wall, even to the final and sup- plemantal " Maygells," "Extraordinary echo," judge. " @hxtraordinary ' d--d skunk I" said the <drver, contemptiously.-- "Come oub of that Miggles, and show yourself. Be a man, Mag. gles!" Don't hide in the dark; 1 .

" But, my dear sir," expostulated the judge, as he thoughy of the barr. od gate: " Lookee horosnid Yuba Bil, with fine irony, "hadn't you better go back* and sit in the stago ill u' m," and he pushedopen: | long room lighted only by the embers of the a fire that was dying on the large hearth at its further ex- tremity ; the wall curiously papered, and the flickering firelight 'bringing out its grotosque pattern ; somebody sitting ina large arm chair by the fireplace, All this we saw as we crowded together into the room, after the driver and expressman. 'Hello, be you. Miggles?" said Yuba Bill to the solitary occupant. The figure neither spoke nor stirred. Yuba Bill walked wrath- fully towards it, and torned the oye of his coach lantern npon its face. It was a man's face, - prematurely old and wrinkled, with very large oyes, in which there was that ex- pression of perfectly gratuitous solemnity which I. have sometimes seen in an owl's. The large eyes wandered from Bill's face to the lantern, and finally fixed their gaze upon that luminous object, without further recognition. Bill restrained himself with an effort, " Miggles / Bo yon def ? You ain't dumb, anyhow, you know;" and Yuba Bill shook the insensate figure by the shoulder. To our great dismay; as Bill re- moved his hand, the venerable stranger apparently collapsed, -- sinking into half hia size and an un- distinguishable heap of clothing. "Well, dern my skin," said Bill, looking appealingly at us, and hope- lessly retiring from the contest. The judge now stepped forward, und wo lifted the mysterious inver- tebrate back into the original posi~ tion. Bill was dismissed with the lantern to reconnoitre outside, for it was evident that from the help- léssness of this solitary man there must be attendants near at hand, and Lwo all drew around tho fire, . The judge,who had regained his authority and had never lost his conversation- al amiability,--standing before us with his back te the hearth,--charg- ed us, as an imaginary jury, follows : "It, is evident that either our distinguished friend here has reach- ed that condition described by Shake- apeare as the ' sere and yellow, leat," or bas suffered some premature abatement of his mental and physi- cal faculties. Whether he is really the Miggles--" Here he was interupted by « Miggles; O Miggles; Mig;" and, in fact, the whole chorus ot Miggles in very much tho same key as it had in} particular, vacated his position directly over his shoulder.

Yuba Bill, who re-entered tho room after an unsycoessfal search, was loth to accept the explanation, and still eyed the helpless sitter with He had found a shed in which he had put his horses, but he " Tear an't noboby but him within ten miles of the shanty, and that' ar But the faith of the majority prov+ od to "be securley based.

And here Miggle caught her drip- pingoil-skin bat from her head with a mischievous swirl' that scattered a shower of rain drops over us; at- tempted to put back her hair; drop- ped two hair-pins in the attorapiy laughed and sat down beside Yuba Bill,' with her hands 'erossed lightly in ner la The judge recovered himself first and essayed an extravagent compli: ment, : "I'll trouble you for that their bair-pin," said Miggles, gravely. Half a dozen hands were eagerly stretched forward ; the missing bair- pin wasrestored to. ils fair owner; and_ Miggles, "crossing the room, looked keenly in the face of the invalid. The .solemn eyes looked back at hers with an expression we bad never seen before. Lite and intelligence seemed to struggle back into the rogged face. Miggles laughed again,--it was a singularly elognent, laagh,--and turned ber black eyes and white teeth once more towards us. "This afflicted personis--"" hesitat- ed the judge. " Jim," said Miggles. "Your father ?" " No." ¢ Brother ?" «Husband ?" Miggles darted a quick, balt.defiant glance at the two lady passengers, who I had noticed did not partici- pate in the general masculine ad- miration of Miggles, andsaid gravely " No; it's Jim.' he Thero was an awkward phtiso.-- The lady passengers moved closer to each other; the Washoe husband looked abstractedly .at the fire, and the tall man apparently turned his eyes inward for selt support at thjs emergency. But Miggles's laugh a8| which was very infections, broke the silence. ¢ Come." she said, briskly, "you must be hungry.
