About eighteen months agoâ€"we had then been married a little pver a yearâ€"Algy and 1 came to the conclusion that married people ought not to be too constantly together if they wish to keep on good terms with saoh other.

Now, although ours was a loveâ€"match, if evar there was one, we had not run together in harness ; very long before we made the discovery | that in many things our likes and disâ€" | likes were opposed. For instance, next | to me, I believe Algy loves his yacht;| whereas I detest yachting: it seems to | me a most stupid way of passing one‘s | time.

A train at Wimbledon, Eng., was just starting for London, when a young woâ€" man reached the station, and simply had time to jump into the first comâ€" partment she reached and flop down on the cushioned seat. "Only then," she writes, " did I observe that I had, as a single fellow traveler, a man as a single fellow traveler, a man, young, well dressed, but of somewhat forbidding aspect. For the moment, however, I did not feel in the slightest degree nervous, and rommenced . to read a paper. After the train had passed one station I happened to glaace toward one end of the carriage. 1 obâ€" served the man to be greatly agitated, and gl?zing intently in my direction. Then he got on his feet. A sudden, overâ€" whelming fear took passession of me, he was a murderer, L was certain, . I thought of shrieking for help, but my tongue refused to move.

What was that which he held in Bis. hand f h - Mr. Barnett stooped down and whisâ€"~ pered his discovery of who the appariâ€" tion was into the ear of the terrified Mrs. Crawford, who speedily recovered from ber fright, and both together watched the movrements of the somnamâ€" bulist, who seemed uwncertain what to do next. First bhe laid dowin the blue packet he carried on the desk, which the solicitor now saw to be a long enâ€" velops, evidently containing something.

Struck by a sudden thought, Mr. Barnott bent across the desk, took up the eavelope, drew out the docuâ€" ment enclosed and hastily scanned it over. A single glance was sufficient. It was the missing will. Quick as thought he snatched up‘ the will found by Mrs. Crawford, which was lying beside him, thrast it into the envelope, and slipped the newly discovered one safely into his pocket. Next he leant over and soflty placed the envelops with its new enclosure back where it bhad lain. It was but the work of a second or two; Mrs. Orawford watching him the while with bated breath, half suspecting what the \envelope had contained. The somnambulist, after standing in the same position at the fireplace for some seconds longer, retiurned to the desk, took up the will, went again to I the fireplace and held the envelope and | ; its contents above ths now hurntâ€"out fire, as thaigh about to drop them | into flames which heimagined he saw. || Then he turned hurriedly and glanced towards the door, put his hand containâ€" ing the will behind him, as if wishing to hide it from the gaze of some one, | stood for a minute in that position, and 1| then slowly walked ofit of the room.l closing the door behind him.
