Not a word was there for me up to the last post at night. Home I trudged to Ham with horrible forebodings, and back again to Richmond after breakfast next morning. Still there was nothing. I could bear “it no more. At ten min- utes to eleven I was climbing the sta- tion stairs st Earl’s Court. If I dwell upon my appreciation of this occasion it is because. like most pleasures, it was exceedineg short- lived. I was very comfortable at the Star and Garter, which was so empty thatIhadaroomworthyofaprince, wherelconld cnjoytheflnestofall views (in patriotic opinion) every morniaz while I shaved. I walked many miles through the noble park, over the commons of Ham and Wim- bledon. and one day as far as that of Esher, where I was forcibly reminded of a service we once rendered to a dis- tinguished resident in this delightful locality. But it was on Ham Com- mon. one of the places which names had mentioned as specially desirable. that I actually found an almost ideal retreat.

I did not thipk; instinct was still stronger than reason, and, fresh from his funeral, I had taken up the cndgels for my dead friend as though he were still alive. Next moment I saw this for myself, and my tears came nearer the surtaeethantheyhadbeenyet; but the fellow at my side laughed outright. -, ___ 7 ,.,,... “It was his .real name," I mat inâ€" dignantly. “And. he has been dead for years."

His favorite name was names then.” My sensations at this announce? ment may not he believed, but I sol- emnly declare that I have seldom ex- perienced so fierce a satisfaction. Here was a new excitement in which to drown my grief: here was some- thing to think about; and I should be spared the intolerable experience of a solitary return to the little place at Ham. It was as though I had lost a limb and some one had struck me so hard in the face that the greater agony was forgotten. I got into the hansom without a word, my captor following at my heels. and giving his own directions to the cabman before taking his seat. The word “Station" wastheonlyonelcanghtandlwon- dered whether it was to be Bow Street again. My companion's next words, however, or rather the tone in which he uttered them, destroyed my capacity for idlespeeulatioa.“ “My name won’t help you,” he can pltyingly. “But you will guess where I come from when I tell you I have a warrant for your arrest" I now remembered hnvlng seen the fellow hovering about during the funeral. and subconsciously taking him for the undertnker’e heed men. He had certainly that nppearance, and even now I could scarcely believe that he was anything else. “Idon't mttomm~tooemm a oemotoryf’ said 3 votes. in a not un- kindly. almost confidentm whisper. “Will you get into your own ab and come quietly?” The melancholy ceremony was over and Jacques Samar-d had departed lo a tunereal brougham. evidently hired for the occasion.

Yet she was the only woman presentâ€"there we're not half a dozen of an altogetherâ€" and her flowers were the only flaw- I was still stupefled by a sense at mconcelvable lose, and had not raised my eyee from that which was slowly forcing me to realize what had hap- pened, when there was a rustle at my elbow, and a shower or hothouse flow- er: passed before them, felling like huge snowflakes where my gaze had rested. I looked up, and at my side stood a madeetlc figure in deep moum~ lug. The face was carefully veiled, but I was too close not to recognize the masterful beauty whom the world knew as Jacques Seward. I had no sympathy with her; any the contrary, name of my friend, of course, but it was the one under which he had pass- ed for many months.

But it was to the truth itself more than to the liquor that I must have owed my dazed condition. My next recollection is of looking down into the open grave, in a sud- den passionate anxiety to see the name for myself.
