days manifmtad a very remarkable power of dbinroyaaoe, or sseond sigh t, or whatever yt like to call it, which had areatad a great senaation among ns. On the previous day, for iastanae, my ancle had mat a gentleman at the station, aad had brought him home to dinner. Wa aaw them walking slowly up the garden together, in conversation, sad Lily had ewlaimed: "Who on earth bthisr Mr. Gregory looked and mid: " His name is ttniitii, and he is returning to town by the midnight train.' "You know him?' I said. " Never aaw him in my life before,' wm the answer. Sure enough, his name proved to be Smith, aad he returned to town that night, after a kmg private interview wrth my nncte; nor had he, he told as

in answer to our inquiries, ever seen or heard of Mr. Gregory before. On Saturday morning, also, the Rev. Mr. Briggs, taking a walk on the beach, tneditauajr oa his Sunday text, had encountered Mr. Gregory, who had volunteered information as to the text, with chapter and terse all correct, to the petrineatioB of the reverend gentleman. On another occasion, when our elderly lady friend mentioned that he had been making a small purchase, Mr. Gregory informed us soffo voee that a bottle of hairwash constituted the purchase ia question. This communication was, very uufortunately, overheard. Its correctness was not at (he time definitely established, but it was shortly after this that she lirst propounded her own particular theory on the subject, which she put forward with renewed confidence in the conversation above, after a fresh dhmlnv of the un holy phenomenon, as she called it. This wm the occasion thereof. Mr. Briggs bad been seen coming up the walk In great gice, with a parcal under his arm What hat he got there?" mid some one. All the works of Joeephm for ten pence." rtlied Mr. Oregon'. Imme diate! v afterwards Mr. Briesra e:i red the nxnn and said to the company: "What do yon think I have just bought?" to which the general response was: "All Joephus for ten-pence. It turned out that be had just ferreted it out from a second-hand book -stall. When questioned about hit mysterious powers, Mr. Gregory always became very serious, and gave no information, but changed the subject as soon as possible. In eoaseqnenee of all this, interest, curiosity, nneaines-, and even alarm, were in varying degrees exeited in the bnats of the several memlers of our company. Most of the ladies declared that thwi were daily expeing woniethinir serious to haotien. That thte expeetatwtns were not alt'igethor unfulfilled win bow off huh it- pwin. There were two new arrivals on the day on which our story open. Our company had hitherto 'been pleasant aal t. hot the l&dr and erentlctnan who now came amony us. and who were j named Mr. and Mr Griue, were exception to thi. Showflr drc-tsed. and loud in their enverstion, they rande great effort to mix with, ease in our company, and for some umrrutable reason seemed to make special endeavors to bMome intimate with our own party, Mr. (trice attacking ray uncle, and his wife devoting herself to us. We were at no pains to conceal our aversion to their iU-mannered and offensive intrusion, hut they seemed determined to accept no rebuff. Lily mid that we had met here the most pleasant and the most unpleasant persons whom we had ever seen in our travels. The former cla, I presume, mainly embraced Mr. Gregory. Ever since Mr. Smith's visit on the previous day. my uncle had seemed to be unusually worried ami anxious. Something had happened at the office, it appeared, which caused him very treat uneasiness, and he kept a constant watcn lor me poet. iuy anu i were troubled, but were hardly prepared for his sudden announcement at lunch the next day, upon receiving a letter from town, that we must pack up at once, and return by the first morning train. We had no objection to escape from the Grk-ea, but in spite of Mr. Gregory's ill-repute for his mysterious arts, we were very sorry to leave him, to say nothing of the abrupt and unexpected termination of our holiday. The Griees were sitting next tons when my uncle made this announcement, and Imw a peculiar look of significance pass between them. Mr. Gregory wm sitting at the other end of a kmg diniag tabk. and quite out of ear-shot, but he came up intmediatcly after we rose front the tabte, ana ansa: A very sad thing, this sudden departure of yours." Mr. Gregory." I replied, "you are perhaps aware that you are under grave suspicVms of being in league with the powers of darkness, and this is another proof. How could yu possibly knowf" Oh, 111 news travels fast," he said, laughing. " But it is a very hot afternoon: what do you say to a little readinr Idly here squeeeed my arm rigorously, but Iwmrwered: " I fear my uncle will not let us go out of his fight. He. feels it his duty to keep special guard jrer m while we are ta such dangerous Company." " Is ever mind," he said; " I will read to kirn as well" We were now In the center of the (rawing room, near a window looking tut on a covered balcony which overiioked the garden. My uncle came up tad returnvl Mr. Gregory's courteous greeting in a manner whleh was, I fear, tot Tery graclou. "May I trouble you for Uw paper, tiler yon, alt,' he mL " (rtidNly,H waf m aajwer.

your permission, I will read aloud to the company." My uncle looked condderably astonished at this unusual proposal. Lily looked up with open eyes and curious expresMioa, this beiag not exactly the kind of readinsr she bad intended. But

the offer was seriously made and repeated, and my an cm, who dearly Uked being read to, gave a dubious assent Miss Lily, with filial affection, made him particularly comfortable in aa arm oh air, and Mr. Gregory commenced reading a kmg prosy article on French politics. He read with anything but his usual spirit, and in a soft, low, monotonous voice. The consequence was (as had possibly been not wholly unforeseen) that my uncle was soon enjoying his accustomed afternoon siesta, the reading, having gradually become slower and slower, now ceased, and the reader, looking up, suggested by a slight gesture an adjournment to the garden. Lily and I tried to smother our laughter and looked shocked, but we adopted the suggestion. A book of poetry was quickly produced, and I found .that there is a difference between hearing French .... mm . . politics read in a stuffy drawing-room, to a middle-aged gentleman, and hearing "Enoch Ardin' read In a cool, shady alcove, to pretty, dark-eyed. lovable maiden, with tender bosom, heaving in sympathy with poor Enoch's sorrows, especially when the reader is a handsome young bachelor, with an exquisitely modulated vqice, able to do full justice to the harmonious numbers of the Laureate. At the end of half an hour I was startled by an exclamation from Lily. ixKiktng up, l uw in Ute garden oeiow. sitting on a seat under the trees with their faces toward us, our dear friends Mr. and Mrs. Grice. That gentleman was keeping up apparently a desultory conversation wait hut wife. They waved their hands on catoning our eyes, and beckoned to us to come and join them, which we did not do. Mr. Gregory instead ot going on with his readituT. continued to regard them intently, and asked us whether we knew went, we said "JNo." We explained how they had favored as with their attention. To our disappointment, he could not be induced to go oh with his reading, but he contin ued to stars at ute ooupie oeioreus; anu when at last thev strolled off in differ ent directions, be said be must apologize for having an engagement, and left us abruptly. "A strange young ed! ' we tbouirht, and we were still more surprised when in about an . hour he returned and asked my uncle to he allowed a short private conver sation with him. Mr uncle seemed startled by this ' request (and so, by the-wav. did Lily), but, after a short paue, he led the way to an adjoining apartment. The conversation wntcn ensuea, we subsequently learned, was as follows: " I am about, sir," said Mr. Gregory, "to refer to your private affair to an extent which will surprise Ton, but I -r a hope, to be able to render you t service which will be an ample excuse for my Intrusion. You are. I believe returning to town to-morrow r' Yes." " The cause of your return is, I be lieve, connected with the forgery of curtain check in your name." S r. how can you possibly xnow that?" " That check was brought to you for vour inspection three days ago by one 'of the clerks from the bank, a Mr Smith, and it is now in your possession." Mv nnele was speechless. " Hear me further. The accuracy of my statements nJtnerto may ouum credence for what I am about to affirm. Unless I am greatly mistaken, there are . A . a . ..... now in tms estaniisnment iwo persons who have been employed to retrain passession at ail costs ot the lorgeu paper. Thev ausnect that you hare it and alreaiiy your room and your uaugmers. and niece's rooms hare been searched, and it only remains to search your per son." Mr uncle turned pale. it is known mat you are to leave to- ... ..... morrow morurog, anu uw ,"hwf be made between now and then. Wiu aMi Maii auh - - aasra eaaauaa sriii vou allow me to offer van mr advicef" I will not attempt to describe my respected uncle's condition of body and mind at this part of the interview; sufhoe it to say that the proffered ad vice wm ultimately adopted. On that evenitur my uncle declined to accompany us when, an hour after dinner the house emptied on to the promenade. Mr. Gregory wm au miming, and had not ammared at dinner. The Rev. Mr. Brisss took us under care. My uncle was already nodding- in his chair when we went out Twenty minutes afterwards two of the company soft lyre-entered the room. This l had from an eve-witness. xneir names were Mr. and Mrs. Grice. Mrs. Grice stood at the door, and her husband ad vaneed gently across the Boor to where my un;le lay back in his chair, snoring " ... . . w. m a a w audibly, Ms handkerchief over hishead. just showing In hts breast-pocket. iii uwi rwwu Mr. Grice crept up to him, abstracted Ute book with a practiced hand, put it Into his own pocket and turned to go. Now m he vwsed the room he bad to imss lxfore a tarre lottnsn with low hangings in front, and he was, porhape, somewhat surprised to find his ankles seised in the firm irrio of a pair of hands thrust out mHWeoVy from under the lounge.

Mr. and Mrs. Grice warn removed at ones to another public ertabushment ia the aeighhorhood, where the company wm very select, the hours very regular, aad the maintenance very cheap; a style of establishment which it was

subsequently roved they had frequented ia more than one part of the country. Amid considerable excitement we promenaded late that night My uncle saidt "Mr. Gregory, you have mo. dered me a service which tape me under the greatest iligetkm to you. I bare no doubt that the original delinquents, of whom these creatures are only the tools, will be brought to justice. Finding that we are on their track, they have made this effort to destroy the proof of their guilt. and prevent us from submitting tt to experts. Thanks to you. they have failed. I can only say how welcome will be any opportunity of making any return to you, however slight." I shall certainly take you at yout word, air," wa the answer. "And now, Mr. Gregory, will you pardon our curiosity if we beg you to tell us the means by which you were able to divine the intentions of our departed friends?" 0, Mr. Gregory," cried Lily, "you must tell us. We are on thnrn to know. and will do anything in the world you like to mention, if you will tell u." On these term I content, saM he. with a curious look at Lily, which made her suddenly blush "very mu -h, as I could see even in the moonlight. 'You may have noticed, began Mr. Greco rv. " that I am somewhat deaf. ana x nave oeen niuvn more wj. jui consequence of this I have acquired the art which I believe almost any one can . , - . ...

I need hardly my that I avoid over-seeing conversation, if you will allow the expression, as much as I would overhearing it ; but I frequently see people speak a few words on accidentally glancing at them. I think that what has puzzled you will now be plain. Perhaps I ought to con fess that I have yielded a little to the temptation of mystifying the company during the last week, especially in the case of Mr. unggs, wno nas, use roanr people who have lived a good deal alone, & habit of talking to himself as he goes along, which he is scarcely aware of. This afternoon, however. 1 watched the Grices in good earnest I was very much astonished at what I aaw. Your sudden departure had disarranged their plans, and they bad a run aiscusnion at the past and future operations. It was not a bad idea to hold their deliberations before your very eyes, so as to keep up their watch on your move ments, and disarm suspicion; oui iney had taken no precaution against being overseen. Be rest you Know. " But hew about the wtrchase of the hair-wash, that sad fruit of occult art," Isftid, "O, that had nothing to do with it I was In the shod beimr shaved, aad I saw the transaction in a kioking-giass." Later still, when my uncle had gone in. I heard him quietly my, " So you will do whatever I like to mention?" But them words were not addressed to roe, and I judged it best to fall in the rear, and, having no gifts of clairvoyance myself, I cannot tell you the rest of the conversation. I can only add that our return was postponed, and shortly after these event Mr. Gregory again requested a private interview with my uncle; that he had again some revelations to make concerning a oonspira2- of two, male and female, in this case m; and mat shortly after the first pair of conspirators had been "sentenced for life" by one of Her Majesty's Judges, a similar sentence wm pronounced upon the other pah- by Bar.

For early pasture or soiling after rye apiece of land broadcasted to tall-grow-ing green pease, mixed with oats, is invaluable. The writer of this once kept a oow up to a Bow of milk tffl late m the season by a succession of such crops, and that too on a piece of white sand land. It is not known by some that if these vines are out and nicely eursd when just about to blossom they wfU furnish a good erop of nutritious hay, but if not cut at flowering time the leaves will crumble away. Ground pease o beans are economical for feeding, owing to the great saving they effect Farmers are tempted to part with them at $110 a bushel, and they often bring mom than that sum; but if we will stop and reflect that tins meal, mixed haU-and-half with com meal, will enable us to dispense with one-third the quantity of hay, a great saving is made through the wiater. For young calves nowingoan equal it If the farmer has no convenience for grmdlttg. them, the pease or beans can be cocked into a "mash" fat the ordinary way, and if thus given liberally to stock, especially to the younger portion, will push them rapidly forward.
