CRAWFORD, Durham P. 0. yl have AL y1 I then explained about the letter, and asked her what she was going to Demerara for. She said that she was going to her uncle, who had written for her to come out, and who had expressed his intention of making her his heiress. Her f.ther was dead, and, owing to the failure of the local bank in which nearly the whole of his money had been invested, she had been left in reduced cireamstances. While she was speaking, I notieed how grave and thoughtâ€" ful a few years had made the bright, merry face I was once so fond of; yet, in another way, she looked quite as handsome as ever. "Now, Kate," I resumed, when she had concluded, "I think I see it all. Is there any one whose interest it is, or might be, to keep you frem reaching your uncle?" "There are the Rentons," she replied thoughtfully, "who have always looked upon themselves as the heirs of Mr. Michael Jarden‘s wealth, and have said many inâ€" sulting and harsh things since they have know that it was proposed for me to go over; but they are down in Hereford, shire." "Are they, indeed ?" I exclaimed. " *Renâ€" ton‘ was the name you said. Pray, has one of the family a large and very ugly sear on his face ?" "A few seconds, Kate, and. you shall know ; but consent to defer a full explanaâ€" tion, and reply briefly to what I shall ask," I said. . "And it would be well if, even while you. are anwering me, you got on your cloak and hat, if you have such things har.dy." â€" This speech, which was certainly rather an ominous one, startled her a great deal more. "I am afraid, Kate," I went on, speaking very quickly, "that there is a plot on foot against you. By a series of mistakes I have discovered this, for I have read a letter toâ€"night never intended for me, and I have been brvught to your ship in complete error." "Then we have not &n instant to spare if what I,suppose is truc, You can trut me, Kate ?" "Trust you ?" she echoed. â€" "Of eourse I can! How can you ask me such a question? But what danger menacesusâ€"or meâ€"and what is this dunger to which you are alludâ€" ing so vaguely, yot terrivly 2" "Oh, yes!" sa‘d Miss Jarden. "Arthur Renton is terribly marked." She made an afirpmative goesture, and I gontinued : "Gracious Heaven," she exclaimed, "it is Ralph! Itis my cousin Ralph! Why, Relphâ€"Mr. Merris, I meanâ€"how came you here? Are you also going to Demeâ€" rara 2" 4 She scemed, from the motion of her lips, to be repeating my last words, and her eyes distendedâ€"well I remembered those eyes! â€"but she spoke n«t. "Is ‘your passage taken by this ship for Demerara ?2" 1 said. f *No, Kate," I answored; "and I rm much inclined to thi ik you are not. . Dou‘t think me cold or unfeeling, Kate, if I do not atteompt to express the delight and pleasure with which 1 look upon your face and hear your voice again, but I fear you are in danger."

CON CLUDED FROM DURHAM, Co. Grey, JUNE 13, 1878 A New Pocm. POETRY LAST WEEK l "Thank Heaven, that danger is averted! | But another will be on us again, directly. | The men will come on board, and we had ; better be anywhere when the storm bursts I than here. Quick, Kateâ€"never mind money, | jewels, or any valuables!" | _ "I brought very fow of such ‘ things on {board the Reindeer," said she, with a ‘somewhat sad smile ; "but I am ready." With this he gave the boat a push, and jumped on board. I heard the oars p‘ash in the wator, and then I felt we were safe. I assisted Miss Jarden up the wet steps, and thore, as I expected, at the top I found a fourâ€"wheeled cab. T had informed my companion of the watchwords I was to use and receive, so she was nut surprised to find me go straight to the driver and say, "Hornsey !" The man instantly replied, "Time‘s up!" then added, "By jingo, In another minute we had descended the ladderâ€"I knew by this time why tac "ladies‘ ladder" had been providedâ€"were seated in the boat, and the men Â¥ore bendâ€" ing stoutly to their oars. ‘The tide was of course with us, as we were going up the stream, but the water was very roughâ€" "luripy," as the men described itâ€"and, the northâ€"east wind still blowing strongly, our progress was but slow. As a measure of precaution, I requested Miss Jarden to lie down, so that no one, without looking elosely into the boat, could see there was a female there, and I was soon very glad to think I had been so cautious. When about half way to our destination, as near as I could judge, we heard the plash of oars, and there came suddenly upon us, passing so closely that we nearly fouled, a large skiff pulled by four men, with a man sitting astern, whose fignre even in the darkness I could recognize as that of one of the men I had heard speaking in the saloon,. They were moving, although the tide was again:t them, at a much greater rate than we were, and as there could be no doubt as to whether they were bownd, and for what purpose, I dreaded lest we should yet.be overtaken ; for I felt sure that those engaged in the plot, whatever it was, wore desperate enough to perpetrate any act of violence. I would have asked our men to take us to the other side of the rivor, but such a request would have excited suspicion. In a short time, however, the darkness of the river changed to the deeper darkness of the shore ; then oar men ceased to pull, and the boat‘s keel grated on the pebbles, "i can. manage," I replied in the. same tone. . **You can see that she is contented enough." "Look alive, master!" said one of the sailorsâ€"he was standing in a foot of water, steadying the boat. "Do you want usâ€"up above, or can you manage by yourself?" This inquiry was whispered in my ear. "That will do then," said the fellow. "Now, Tom, look out !" ""She is going quictly enough, then ?" "Oh, yes !" I replied in the same key. "It wauted only a little xknullngémexlt.." "It‘s a devuced good job, however," he said, "I thought we should have had a seene. Now, Miss, let me help you." Taking her arm, I led her to the ship‘s side, and, as we praused there a moment while I showad her how she would have to descend, a man hitherto unperceived in the darkness, came, up and said in a low **You are well paid for the job, are you not?" I demanded, deeming this a pretty safe guess. ‘""What are you grumbling at? As it happens, the lady is ready, and if you go back to your post, she will be there in a couple of minutes. Let me hear nomore growling about work that you are well paid for." With a muttered oath or two, the fellow retreated, and, turning to my companion, L said : "Now, master," ho said, "how much longer are you going to be? Weare obliged to bale the rain out of the boat, and we are wet through. If you mean to be much longer you may row ashore yourself," But I knew that my being there at ail would involve a great struggle, and I watehed the opening door with the eye of a tolerably good shot who is measuring his distance. I breathed imore freely, it was only one of the men whorn £ halleft in the boat. My right hand being concealed by the table, he did not see my pistol. "Do not eppose them; pray do not run any risks for me." 1 heard voices, then steps climbing the ‘adder by which I had entered, and then I heard a man cross the deck. Not Laving been fairly on shore, I had not abandoned my Nbw Zealand habits, and consequently in my coatâ€"pocket was a loaded fiveâ€"shot revolver. As quickly as possible I drew and cocked it, Miss Jarden saw my action, and whispered : "Now, Kate," I said, "you are ready, and must go on shore with me at once. Providence has thrown in our way the means of foiling them with their own weaâ€" sons, and we will do it. I would fight them ind die for you wi‘h readiness, Kate, but here I am only one against a large gang, and my resistance would be unavailing ; on shore, and knowing all I do, we shall have the advantage. Hark! Hore they come |" wst," I returned ; "he is in London. I cannot trust the men on board this vessel â€"they are evideatly in league with hinâ€" vod I am quite sure he means to seize you toâ€"night and place you in some confinement â€"perhaps a lunatie asylum." She clasped her hands at this, and seemed mbout to speak, but I stopped her. )nt ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORoNTO The applieation of this title showed what , * ';}““w;:;:’:’: Z:;‘:'xlxl\lx!c‘:x .::t,:;fl‘ned e was in the man‘s mind, and I had no obâ€" | i) ;:nbm n0t, displeasedâ€"indeed; when jection to his remninAing under the deluâ€" Je tou;ld Thaty beades sboing willing . 16 ooo Heededin mrmtoncens reomiate ap. make myself generally useful, as the ac> oo M oo pivoomoun ns rmes rtisements say, I was tolerably good gaged for Miss Jarden, and the cab given | Y°** jyobr 'c Auldenpley. anllmeofieq of into the charge of a man from the stables, | "°:i“'”3' i Pessbscid ecnmite: HIeughts. o4 t aoys d']. e ooo onipamagg ol | :.illiu‘dl and tln; like, he was very glad I n ie in oe | had comeâ€"so glad, indeed, that, if I had d ooae daem mrropoinine srere ol m.yltcry t first mooted the question of my marâ€" about them, iinpressing every one with the ‘ not Arsk 44 Fes en iflfesLhacievellie idea thas I was an officer, and making evâ€" ! rying my old "“ste; o. s m ;n “-n‘ pirry ery one anxious to assist me, When we I‘:"“‘: h.::u.?l‘i{iewpm\' ed' it m)' ide;'nnd were alone, I told the cabmanâ€"to odll.um‘ y no men m: ies Merr Infi;u [ so for want of a better nameâ€"that hig| Miss Jn-d'm l ml.

"Look here! I hain‘t got much to do with this business, as I dessay you know ; it seems to me that I am the only one as is caught. I can see that, somehow or other, it‘s all up, and I make you this fair offer.

"Drive to the Great Northern, than," I said. "and while we are travelling I will think over your offer." "Why," . exclaimed the man, almost dropping the reigns in his astonishment â€" "why," he gasped again, and seemed unâ€" a‘ le to utter another syliable; at last he said, "Blow me if I didn‘t think a screw was loose when you got on this here box! Who are you, then, mister ?2" ‘"Never mind who I am," I retorted ; "‘we are appronching the station, and, if you don‘t pull up, I will shoot you through the body without another word of warnâ€" ing." _ As I spoke I drew my revolver and ostentatiously cocked it. The man hesiâ€" tated for a moment, and then eaid : "Drive slowly," I ordered, "so that you can hear me, and I will tell you what I think. I think, and know, that you are angaged in a conspiracy t» kidnap this young lady and take her to some madâ€" house or such place; and I am hero to spoil your plans." *"Want me to stop there ? gn.-upod the man. "Thereâ€"â€"among the ‘blues‘? You must be mad, or I think I am!" "Turn to the right"â€"for I knew the neighborhood well of old. "What for?" demanded he. "That ain‘t of no use." "Yes, it is," said I. "Thero is a place down there I wish you to see." He eyed me in amazement, but turned up the doâ€" sired streot. "Now," I continued, "do you see that light on the leftâ€"hand side of road, a long way down ?" "Cortainly," was the reply. "Do you know what place it is?" I asked. "Certainly," he again returned. "It‘s a policeâ€"station." "Quite true," I said; "and at that staâ€" tion, my friend, I wish you to stop." I retained my seat by his side, and, as we worked our way towards the City Road and Islington, I desited hi offee of twice to take a different route fronmt that which he had intended, for I had a plan formed in my mind. ‘The man obeyed without & remark, until I presently said : "Hallo," he exclaimedâ€""hallo! Why, you ain‘t the party asâ€" What‘s the meanâ€" ing of this here ?" "Well, I can‘t say that it does," allowed the man; but from his extremely thoughtâ€" ful silence, it was evident he was brooding with more surprise than pleasure over his discovery. ___ We got in, the cab rumbled ofi'.' and as we turned the closclyâ€"adjacent corner, I distinetly heard the keel of a boat grate on the shore below, accompanied by loud voices. The rate we went at, however, precluded all fear of pursuit, for the driver had a horse of a capacity not often seen in a London cab, and he knew his road well. I judged, too, that he knew his business. I allowed the man to drive on for about twenty minutes, until we had got clear of a‘l waterside associations, when I put my head out of the window, and, calling for him to stop, told him I would ride on the box with him, and smoke a cigar. He seemed surprised at my decision, partly on account of the contnued rain, and partly because he evidently thought it unsafe to leave my patient, or prisoner, alone. â€" But his surprise was immeasurably greater when I mounted to his side, and the light of a strectâ€"lamp fell upon me. "All right," I returned very eoolly» "We have made a change, that‘s all. It does not matter to you, you know." governor, you have been quick!" Wheve had that boat got to as was to have met you here ?" "Oh, never mind, now !" I growled from inside my coatâ€"collar. "We are too wet to talk." . $1 per year in Advance. My uncle was very much astonished to see me, but not displeasedâ€"indeed, when he found that, besides being willing to make myself gonerally useful, as the ac> vertisements say, I was tolerably good company, and could play all sorts of games at cards, besides chess, draughts, billiards and the like, he was very glad I had comeâ€"so glad, indeed, that, if I had not first mooted the question of my marâ€" rying my old sweetheart Kate, I believe he w ould have suggested it ; at any rate, he by no means disapproved of the idea, and Miss Jardin became Mrs. Merris before I had been in the colony a year, I saw Miss Jarden for a few minutes in the morning, and was glad to find that she had not sufiered materially from the excit â€" ment of the previous night ; and then, with Small in attendance, I waited upon one of the most eminent criminal lawyers in London, whom we were lucky enough to find at home, and to him I told the story, The application ended in our waiting on the nearest police magistrate, through whom a telegram was sent to stop the ship at Gravesend. As a consequence, the Reindeer did not sail for a fortnigh, durâ€" ing which time her captain and two of her crew, with Mr. Dychester of Paradise Roâ€" treat, the wellâ€"known asylum at Hornsey, were arrested on a charge of conspiracy, had their hearing, committal and trial, Small was of course admiited as eviâ€" dence; Renton could not be heard ofâ€"he never will be heard of any more now, for we learned that his body was found a week or two after the trial, when one of the small docks at Limehouse was clearcd. The prisoners, to use Mr. Bill Small‘s exâ€" pression, "got i; hot," and, under a new captain, the Reindeer proceeded on her voyâ€" age, Miss Jurden being again the Indy pasâ€" senger. But I sailed with her this time, for I persuaded myself that as Mr. Jarden was also my uncle, Le might be glad to see me too; and as it was impossible for Small to get an honest living in . England, Miss Jarden took upon herself the responâ€" sibility of prying his passage out, in the hope that scme employment would be found for him;and she was not disapâ€" dointed. Small has behaved himself very well ever since, and has been appointed to a situation of responsibility and trast. "You can do what you likeanister. I‘m bound to act homovfablé to you now, for I‘m done with the others. ‘Anything will suit me a good deal better than kidnapping young women to shut ‘em up for life in a madhouse." "I think they were going to say she died on the trip," returned Small. "None of the crew of course would have seen her on the voyage. They would have had a sham burying, and there are quite enough concerned in it to carry anything thromgh that wanted hard swearing." I have explained how far these plans were successful, and Small had very little more to add. _ I told him that I should sit up the rest of the night with him for fear of acciderts, to which he replied : "But, Small," said I, "I should like to ssk you another question, How would the skipper have managed when he got to Demarara ?2" **You see, sir," said Small, with much emphasis, "I‘m very very poor, and ain‘t got a character what would get me a job, except at such a place, but my heart achâ€" ed for the poor young womanâ€"it did, inâ€" deed. If shg had once got in there, she never would have come out, so long as her friendsâ€"or enemies, mostlikeâ€"paid the allowance, and they would have drugge 1 her and drugged her til she was mad] as a March hare." ‘The skipper of the vessel, he went on to say, and two of three of his men were heavily bribed to assist, but, owing to various difficulties which sprang upâ€"the actual deposit of the money being oneâ€"it was not until the very day named for the attempt that all the preliminaries were settled, when Small had takon the final arrungements down to the ship, and the skipper, having to go on shore to seek his agents, and knowing how long he should be detained; had left a note for Runton on his way. This fell into my hands. A boat was to tuke Renton off nt a quarter past twelve, and wbout that time Small was to be at the stairs with a cab. large scar on his check, had been there } several times ; ond at last the proprietor of itho asylum had sent for my informantâ€" Bill Small by name, it appearedâ€"and had shown him to this gentleman as a man who "would do so." He had several inâ€" terviews with this stranger afterwards, and as they were both fond of a glass, and still fonder of several, the latter tal‘ked more to Bill than any one else. He id that his aim was to prevent a young wom=n, whose family bhad done them all the harm they could, from doing him a great deal moreâ€" that she was "aâ€"going" out to foreign parts to his uncle, and that the old idict would leave her all the money promised to him. ‘ So he wished to arrange for her to be seizâ€" ‘ ed on the night before the ship sailed, and | taken to Dychester‘s den, Mr. Bill Small‘s services being required as driver. \ 2nd form, seniorsâ€"marks 800â€"â€"M.
