And so another link in the chain of coincidence was forged and clasped! Two days after the fight with the rangers Lockit and the Scuffler, happenâ€" ing to be strolling in the direction of the woods, came upon a man lying full length under a big tree. "Hallo" exelaimed Lockit,. "One of our fellows has been on a tear. Why, dash my wig! if it ain‘t the young un. Fancy the young un going on a spree!

His first oc herent questions were of Sylvia. He learned of her reseue from Lavar ick by a young Englishman, her careful nursing at Wildfall under the ministraâ€" tions of Dr. Langley aug his wife and her heartâ€"rending agony on being informâ€" ed that her "dear Jack" was dead, for she had been shown the jacket worn by the dead ranger, and even now treasured the contents of the pockets of that garâ€" ment which had given plausibility ‘to such an appalling blinder. Yet the news of Sylvia‘s seafety cheered Neville but he was overcome with pain and anxiety when the tidings came to him that, believing him dead, Sylvia ‘had been persuaded to seek recuperation by travel, under the guidance of the young nobleman, who had induced Merey Fairâ€" fax to accompany her as chaperone. _ But the Scuffler, whose experience in such cases was both varied and extenâ€" sive, looked grave and shook his head. "‘Pears to me," he said, as he bent over poor Nevilie and turned him face upward; "‘pears to me that this ain‘t no spree at all. By Josh, if the young "Alone! my'(h;d. I‘m all alone!"
