Wet and dreary. It is midwinter; the

just after the night mail liad flashed

"Where's Dan?" naked one of the crowd
upon the platform.
"I saw him in the hut lust after the

come- to any harm, surely?"
"No; he said he'd seen something drop
from the train, and ho went down the

And Dan had picked up something.
It was a Inisket, a common white wicker

string. What did it contain? Dirty
clothes? What?

Jack Newbiggin was by prof ession a
convevanccr, out nature had intended
him for a new Houdin, or a wizard of
tho north. He -was more than half a
professional by the time he was full
grown. In addition to the quick eye and
the facile wrist he ltad the rarer gifts oi
the suave manner pnd tho face of brass,
lie liad even studied mesmerism and
clairvoyance, and could upon occasion
surprise his audience considerably by lus
power.
They entered the miserable dwelling
together. The children eight of them
were all skirmislung over the floor,
except one, a fluid of C or 7, a bright
yed. exceedingly beautiful boy, the
least wero not nature's vagaries well
known li'.:ely to bo born among and be
long to such surroundings, who stood be

"It Is good for all of us pow and again,

towards him, the children gradually col
lecting in a far off comer and comparing
notes.
You can't laugh, sir, if your heart'
heavy v if you do it can be only a sham."
While ho was speaking he had taken
the liible from the shelf, and resuming
his scat began to turn the leaves over,
"I'm an untaught, rough countryman,

"Ihats what I thought, sir, or IV.

said, as he took a small, carefully folded

"How did you como by it?" asked Jack
at once.
"I'll tell j-ou, sir; short as I can make
it. Conjuror or no conjuror, you've got
a kindly heart, and I'm main sure Unit
you 11 help if you can."
Dan then described how he hadsfftV-ked
up the basket from tho 10:13 LiverjKxd
express.
"There was the linen; I've kept it. See
here; nil marked quite pretty and pro
. per, with lace round the edges, as though
its mother loved to make the little one
smart."
Jack examined the linen; it bore a
monogram and crest. The first he made
out to mean ILL. M., and the crest Was
plainly two hammers crossed, and tho
motto. "I strike" not a common crest
and he never remembered to have seen
it before.
And was that all?
"'Cent the Iwink note. That was in a
poor old purse with a awn ticket and a
thimble. I kept them all."
Like a true detective Jack examined
every article minutely. Tho purse lore

out in the same name.
THE SECOND IIALF.
When Jack Newbiggin got back to the
parsonage he round that his host had ac
cepted an invitation for them both to
dine at the "big house," as it was called,
tho country seat of the squire of the
parish.
"I have been fighting vour battles all
day," began Mrs. Sitweil, the hostess,
when seated at dinner next to Jack.
"Was it necessary? I should liave
thought myself too insignificant."
"They were talking at lunch of your
wonderful tricks in conjuring, and one
said that tho skill might prove inconven
ient when you played cards, for in
stance." "A charitable imputation; with whom
did it originate?"
"Sir Lewis Mallaby."
"Please point him out to me."
He was shown a grave, scowling face
upon the right of the hostess a face like
a mask, the surface rough and wrinkled,
through which tho eyes shone with a
baleful light, like corpse candles in a
sepulcher.
Jack let his companion chatter on. It
was his habit to get all the information
possible about any company in which he
found himself, for his own purpose us a
clairvoyant, and when Mrs,' Sitweil
flagged he plied her with artless ques
tions, and led her on from one person to
another, making mental notes to serve
lum hereafter. It is thus by careful and
laborious preparations that 'many of the
strange and seemingly mysterious feats
of the clairvoyant conjuror aro in
formed. When tho whole party were assembled
in tho drawing room after dinner a
chorus of voices, headed by hat pf the
hostess, summoned Jack to his work.
There appeared to le only one dissen
tient. Sir Lewis Mallaby, who not only
did not trouble himself to, back up the
invitation, but when the performance
was actually begun was at no pains to
conceal his contempt and cligust.
The conjurer made tho conventional
plum pudding in a hat, fired wedding
rings into quartern loaves, did all man
ner of card tricks, knife tricks, pistol
tricks, an4 Juggled pn ponscientiously
right through 'his repertory. " There was
never a smile on Sir Lewis' face; ho
sneered unmistakably. Finally, with an
ostentation tliat savored of rudeness, he
took out his watch, a great gold repeater ,
looked at it, and unmistakably yawned.
Jack hungered for that watch di
rectly he saw it. Perhaps through it he
might make its pwner uncomfortablo, If
only for a moment. But how $o get t
into his hands? He asked for a watch
a dozen were offered. No, none of these
would do, t must be a good watch a
repeater.
Sir Lewis Mallaby's was the only one
in the room, and he at first distinctly rer
I used to lend it. liut so many earnest
entreaties were addressed to, him, he
hostess leading the attack, that he could
not in common courtesy continue to re
fuse.
With something like a growl he took
lus watch off the chain and handed it to
Jack Newbiggin.
A curious, old fashioned watch it was.
which would have gladdened the' heart

enameled, adorned with crest and" in
Bcnption an heirloom, which had pro
bably been in the Mallaby family for
years. Jack looked it pver puriOusly'j
meditatively; then, suddenly raising his
eyes, lie stared intently into bir Lewis
Mallaby's face pnd almost as quick v
aroppea them again,
"This is far too valuable," he said cour
teously, "too much of a treasure, to be
risked in any conjuring trick. An ordi
nary modern watch I might replace, but
not a worn or art like this.
And he handed it back to Sir Lewis,
who received it with ill concealed satis
faction. Ho was as' much, pleased, prob
ably, at Jack's expression of possible
failure in the proposed trick as at the re
covery pf his property,
Another watch, however, was nounded
into a jelly and brought; put whole from
a cabinet in an adjoining room.
"Qh, but it is too preposterous," Sir
Lewis Mallaby was heard to say, quite
angruy. ino continued applause pro
foundly disgusted him. "This is the
merest charlatanism. It must bo put an
end to. It is the commonest imposture.
These aro things which he lias coached
up in advnnce. Lej him bo tried with
something which upon the face of it he
cannot have learned beforehand by arti
ticial means."
"Try him, Sir Lewis; try him your
self," cried several voices.
" scarcely hike to end mvself to such
folly or encourage' so pitiable, an exhibi

ther protest would be in Jack's favor, so
he said, Can vou tell what I have in

"Stay!" said Jack Newbitre-in. f.icincr
him abruptly, mid sHaking in a voice of
thunder, "it is not so you know it it
is only the half!"
And as he spoke he took the xcket
look from the hands of tho really stupi
lied baronet, and exhibited, for insiHO
tion the half of a Iiank of England note
for 100.
There was muc h applause at this harm
less and successful denouement of what
threatened at one stage to lead to alter
cation, perhaps to a quarrel. Hut Jack
Newbiggiu was not s.itislied.
"As you have dared me to do mv
worst," said he, "listen now to what I
have to say. Not only did I know that
was only tho half of a note, but I know
whero the other half is to be found."
"So much the U tter for me," said the
baronet, with an effort to apiear humor
ous. "That other half was given to shall I
say. Sir Lewis?"
Sir Lewis nodded indifferently.
"It was given to one Hester Corrigan.
an old nurse, six years ago."
"Silence! Say no more," cried Sir
Lewis in horror.

eldest inherited the family title, but died

aleyance until time showed whether the
infant was a boy or a girl. It proved to
be a boy, whereupon Lewis Mallabv, who
nau tne iirst information of the fact, put
iino execution a nerarious project which
ue naa careruuy concocted In advance,
A girl was obtained in a foundliner hos
pital and substituted by Lady Mallaby's
nurse, wno was in iewis pay, for the
newly born son and heir. This son and
heir was handed over to another accom
plice, Hester Corrigan, who was bribed
with 100, half down, in the shape of a
hair note, the other half to be paid when
she announced her safe arrival in Texas
with the stolen child. It occurred to
Mrs. Corrigan in her transit between
London and Liverpool that though 100
would be acceptable on her arrival, the
child would be only an encumbrance.
Sho therefore threw the basket contain
ing him out of tho window, forgetting
that in it sho had for Bafety deposited her
purse.
It was the watch borrowed from Sir
Lewis Mallaby which first aroused Jack's
suspicions. It bore tho same crest two
hammers crossed. . with the motto. "I

with the monogram II. L. M. From theso
facts and what wo had been told by Mrs.
Sitweil, Jack rapidly drew his conclu
sions, and made a bold shot, wlueh hit
the mark, as we have seen.
Lewis Mallabv s confession, combined
with that of Mrs. Corrigan, who was
found by tho police, soon reinstated the
rightful heir, and Dan Blockitt in after
years had no reason to regret the gener

Loiidou'n Growth pf population.

was 9.8,8G3. The capital and the king

not quit triplo it; England (excluding
London) advanced in a still smaller pro
portion, and it will be seen that England,
excluding all its big towns, exhibits a
still feebler advance.
But note this point" about London: its
limits increase. 'If we had a series of
maps shaded so as to show the popula

of London getting bigger and bigger

Mr. Astor'a Expensive Yacht.
Witliin a stone's throw of a South
Brooklyn piet recently " were fifteen
yachts, sloops and schooners, little and
bi. They represented $1,000,000 of capi
tal. The highest priced w-as Mr. Astor'a
bis 273 feet long steam yacht Nourmahal,
wliich lay looming up like an ocean
steamer. Tlie NpurmahaJ post $300,000,
and Mr. William" Astor, her owner, uses
ner iot aoout inree montns in the year;
tho other nine months she lies idle. The
expense of running this leviathan toy is
$o,000 per month. By the necessary ex
pense is meant the cost of fuel and the
wages and keep of her crew. What Mr.
Astor spends in entertainments, etc., on
board, of course nobody knows but him
self.
The expense, therefore, of keening tho
Nourmahal for a year, outsido of her
owner's personal expenditures, is: Interest
on money invested, 18,000; expenses for
i injo tiio ij m commission, $l,000; re
pairs, etc., each spring, about $5,000;
total, $41,000. From these figures it
would be easy to estimate how much the
yacht would cost to keep should she be
iti commission the year round. Aloiit
$100,000 a year wpuld just ahout cover it.
Even Mr, Aetor, with all his wealth, could
scarcely afford this, and so tho Nour
mahal lies idle most of the time. Brook

Tlie manner of wearing the hair in
Japan is so elaborate tliat a Japanese
woman cannot do up her own hair, but
is obliged to go to one of these establish
ments. It is quite interesting to watc h
this operation. The worna seats herself
on the lloor before a round mirror made
of polished metal, and the hair dresser
sets to work. It is really quite a formid
able affair, as tho woman is apt to be
very critical and insists on each hair be
ing arranged just so. The whole ar
rangement may be descrilied as a kind
of large bow knot, and liecswax enters
largely into the material used for the
dressing. This has tho effect of makints
the hair very stiff and shiny. The
reason that the peculiar pillow is so much
used is jso that the hair may not be dis
turbed while asleep.
