Before Rimington had gone many yards in the direction of the cliff the moon became obscured ; but he was able to make pretty straight for where he bad seen the man lie down. In a few minutes he espied him, lying like a log, a few paces on his right. He advancâ€" ed, and was â€"just stooping down to shake him to his senses, when the seeming inâ€" ebriate jumped up, and, springing at him with all his force, endeavoured to throw him over the cliff. j Ogilvie Whittlechurch. pening ¢" f A ‘‘That‘s more than I san txil you," replied the other, " At least, if 1 can tell you what has been: happening, I certainly can‘t imagine why it bas hapâ€" pened, I walked home from the station, and just as I got to the door, 1 saw a manâ€"tipsy, as I thoughtâ€"closo to the edge .of the cliff, 1 went to see what On occasions like this, ideas, rush through the brain with lightning like rapidity, time, indeed, being almost a negligible qugantity. But, though the thinking powers are at a maximum, the capacity for putting the thoughts into practice and profiting by the concluâ€" sion arrived at, becomes almost nil. ‘The brain, so to speak, divides from the nerves, which, since they can no longer keep pace with it, it leaves behind, and rushing on through, it may be, an anâ€" alysis of the circumstances, it may be a retrospect of previous events, leaves to the inferior organs, backed up by a sort of instinct, the practical task of saving the whole.

So here Iam, all over mud ard very glad that it‘s no worse." . o It was that of a young man, who, seeâ€" ing how things were, ran to cut off the fugitive. He judged his direction well, and at first it looked as if, between the two, Miller would be secured. The latter, however, had a good start of the stranger, and was greatly assisted by the darkness of the night. He was alâ€" so a good runner, so that, although the chances seemed agaiast him at first, be managed to give beth his pursuers the slip. " You say that he receognised you.

I am going home, and the police station is on my way, 80 I‘ll look out for that. You go straight home." : >:(% Wl it With Rimington, accustomed and trained to act promptly in emergencies, that time was almost inappreciable ; but short as it was, it had sufficed for him to recognise Miller, able seaman in the Maharanee, to speculate on his motives, and come to the conclusion that he must either be the victim of a drunkard‘s frenzy, or of mistaken identity. Soon, however, these speculations ceased, and all ‘his energies were enlisted in the desperate struggle, on which, it seemâ€" ed, depended ‘his very life. Both men were strong, and at first the contest was fairly equal. Rimington, however, was encumbered by his thick greatcoat, and this told on him more every second. He felt that he was being slowly but surely forced nearer the edge of the cliff. So far, the struggle had been carried on in silence; now he shouted for ‘help. With an oath, his opponent, tried to put his hand over his mouth, and, in so doing, partially threw back his hood. Just before, he had been gathering himself together for a final throw ; but when he saw Rimington‘s features, he suddenly started back,pausâ€" ed a second, and then saying, " Great God! it‘s Mr. Rimington," made off at the top of his speed. "Hullo! What is it?" cried a voice from the direction of Rose Cottage. " Hi! Stop him! Help !" cried Rimingâ€" ton, giving chase, for he had no mind to let him off so easily. ~ "It‘s much." bhit But what on eartl has been hapâ€" very good of you.â€"Thanks very " Mary won‘t be long," she replied.> **Perhaps she knows that I have someâ€" thing to talk to you about." Mrs. Rimâ€" ington spoke seriously, and hber son saw that she had something of importance to communicate. * " What has happened ?" he asked. * Your friend, Ogilvie Forward, has Eoposed to Mary. She has accepted him, and I have approved of her choice. He spoke to me about it yesterday mornâ€" ing, and Colonel Forward was here in the afternoon." " Well, mother," he replied, as soon as he had completed a very longâ€"drawn whistle, " you know him better than I do. Still, I have seen quite enough of Ogilvie Forward to be able to congratuâ€" late Mary from the bottom of my heart, as far as ‘his character goes,. But what about ‘his money ?" _ _ ie " Colonel Forward is very liberal about that. He has offered to buy and furnish a house here at Whitby, and is going to settle twenty thousand pounds on them, in addition to Ogilâ€" vie‘s present allowance, on the day that they are married. It might not be thought very much by some people ; but our Mary‘s hushang will be betâ€" ter off‘in this world‘s goods than her mother was ; and if she loves bim, and he will make her a good husband, what should we have to say against it ?"

He is not really Colonel Forward‘s son, W ho he really is,; who his parents were, he does not know. The colonel adopted him from a workhouse in the south of England. Of course it was right of him to tell us; but at the same time we know him and like him for himself, and I told him that it could make no possible difference." _ 4. " And unow," said Ogilvie, " you know why Iam the unhappiest man is the world. Yesterday, 1 would _not have called the Tzar my uncle.

Then he added, as if struck by a sudden thought. "Did he tell you what his name. was originally ¢" "I mean exactly whirt T say. There is a fortune waiting for Ogilvie Whit» tlechurch, and there _are detectives scouring the country to find him"â€"to find you.‘" AXp" t Old Colonel Forward was seated at the breakfast table, from which the reâ€" mains of that meal had not been cleared away. Rising as Rimington entered, he shook him by the hand, saying at the same time: " I suppose that Ogilvie has already told you about our misfortune ? Poor boy, it is hard for him to bear. For myself it does not matter ; but for _;;ou(x" sister and him it is hard, very ard." _ ‘"*My whole fortune was in that unâ€" dertaking," he said simply ; " aad now my son and I are penniless." After breakfast, Rimington announcâ€" ed ‘his intention of going to look up Forward. When he arrived at Colonel Forward‘s house, the bell was answerâ€" ed by Ogilvie himself, but looking so strangely disarranged and wild, that be could not help asking him if anyâ€" thing was the matter. _ j t "This, then, will tell you," said the old man, putting into his hand a busiâ€" nessâ€"looking letter which lay upon the table. It was the announcenrent of the failure of a Mining Company. _ _ _ _‘ No, sir," replied â€" Rimington ; " I don‘t know what your trouble is ; but it must be very great to affect you thus." _â€" Rimington read it through, and then; put it down and looked at th« colonel for further information. â€"____ _ At this moment there was a ring at the bell, and the maid brought in a card: * Mr. J. Pryer, Detective Departâ€" ment, Scotland Yard." At the bottom wae ‘written in pencil: " To speak with Captain Forward on important busiâ€" ‘"Yes; something is the matter," he replied, "and it has made me the unhapâ€" piest of men. But come in, and let me tell you about it." t ness "*Why, here‘s the very man‘!* cried Rimington laughing. " He already looks on you as a millionaire, and shows it by giving you brevet rank.. Well, I‘m off, and shall expect you at Rose Cotâ€" tage in an bour‘s time at the latest, bolding your head up with all the dignity of your newâ€"found thousands." _ _ His first visit was to the police staâ€" tion, where some very startling news awaited him. Miller‘s body had been pitcked up at the foot of the cliff, just under a wellâ€"known dangerous place, about half a mile from where _ the struggle took place. He must have doubled to throw his pursuers off the track, and then, venturing too close, without a sufficient knowledge of ~the neighborhood, have slipped and fallen. But the strangest part was yet to come. On the body had been found a cheque for the extraordinarily large sum of fifteen hundred pounds, signâ€" ed Pedro Bersano.
