WAITED FOR.
As I stood nt my door , looking for ft
piasin ? c\\ > , I could not help wishing
thi\t I hnd token my wife's advice , nnd
gene to Downlpy by an curlier train.
The weather hna grown TVOMO instofxl
of bettor , nnd not only did the wind
blow ns boisterously ; ia it hnd done nil
dny , but its gujta now drove before
them n hc.ivy rninrhich would Imvo
welted run ihtouglun a very few min-
lite.1' . As n rule , dtaong.itjed caba
crawling slowly pAit my house were n
nuiiancc , nnd now I had wailed full n
quarter of nn hour without socinRono ,
nnd I know tint the margin beyond
thu number of nrtiutoa absolutely nec
essary for getting to the station wns
growing dangerously narrow. There
wna n howl ! there wan rv deluge ! I
could nuwr walk to the etition in this
Ab' there wis one. In nmwor to the
nnn'a hail , I dashed through my httlo
garden , nnd in it few seconds MM in
side n fourwheeler. .
' ' ( .real Southern , tit ? yes , sir , " said
the mnt ) , us ho otoxl at the door ,
the niin pouring from his oiUikin in
streams. "An uncommon nasty
night , air. "
So it was , nnd BO I should fancy the
poor fellow found it ; for when ho
opened thu door for mo to nlight nt
the otntmn , n complete ring of water
formed whore ho ntood. Wo were in
pretty good time after all , und I got
my ticket and was toatcd comfortably
in the carriage for sjtuo minutes be
fore the time of starting. There wore
very few paasongore in any of the cit-
riagoa , mid In the ono by which I
traveled there were but two or three ,
and I wno the only occupuit of my
compaitnicnt. The last boll had
rung , the whietlu had sounded , ( ho
premonitory ecrcam from the engine
u.ul been given , and then , of courau.
hud followed the lirat tug , when I
heard n voica ahout :
"This w.\y , nir , this way. "
A guard tore along the platfoun ,
followed by n hulnted passenger ; my
door was unlocked , thu stranger
jumped panting in , thu door v. us olam-
mcd to , und H uhtlling changed hands
rapidly , und wo uivupt trom thu ata-
tton.
' - .tnvo " exclaimed the
15j.tnvo , now
cni i' > , wipmu IKB foruhead aa ho
poki < , " 0 love , that wna a cloao
'
"Very , " I ntsontetl , "and the Init
train , too "
'The last kdin , certainly , " laid
my companion. " ! behove that
there is no w y whatever of get
ting to Downloy if you miss this
tram "
"None , " I replied , "whinh makes
it very incpnvenieut. "
"Excessively so , " returned ho.
"llavo you any objections ? "
Of courao ivi ho biiid this ho exhib
ited his cigar oneo , and finding I had
no objection ho pressed a cigar upon
me , which , I may remark , was one of
the bust I ovur smoked.
Ho was n tall good looking man ,
with fine board and moustache , very
blnck and full. But I could not help
thinking that his head was a HtUe
too much like a head from n hair
licenser's window and hia attire ns a
trifio too much like a picture from a
fashion book.1 Somehow everything
WAS too new and glossy to please me
entirely , but it could not bo denied
that hia cigar was a capital ono.
I sank into a roveno as deep as his
own ; indeed 'I rather suspect I hnd
bciun to doze , when I wns reused by
the stopping of the train. My com
panion roused himself , too. I was on
the aide near the platform and looked
out"A
"A rough night still , isn't it ? " ho
said.
said."It
"It is , indeed , " I replied. "Just
put your head out nnd try how the
wind is blowing. "
_ "No , I thank you , " ho returned
with n Kin i In ; "I will take your word
for it. "
I laughed in reply , and was about
to close thu window when the guard
looked in. The ofticlal passed on , but
returned in n few seconds und stared
somewhat .curiously , I fancied , into the
carriage. The scream und the tug
came again , and on wo wont.
"That follow had a good ataro at
you , " said my companion ,
"Well , I fancied ho looked chiefly
nt you , " I oaid ; "but the fnuoy was ,
I have no doubt , , he smelt n eomowhat
powerful odor of tobacco , und ho
wished us to ecu that ho did. "
"I shouldn't wonder , " caid the
stranger , throwing himself back with
the languid uir of ono who takes no
interest in conversation. "Do wo
etop again baforo we arrive at the
Dnwnloy branch1' ?
"No , " I replied.
' Very good , " ho continued ; "lot
un make ounolvcs comfortable. "
And by way of doing this ho tin-
locked a black valiau ho had with him
nnd drew out u couple of bottles of
chr.mpugnu , which proved aa good in
quality na hia cigars , JJo next pro
duced contrivaneup for glaeaes , which
shut up into n mere ring. With these
appliances vo very merrily journeyed
over the twelve miloa which rmnainod
of. the main line , fthcn "Downloy
Junction" v.'iia shouted now , and ui
aoun til wo u > mo to u uUud our car-
riaga was detached from ( ho train ,
"All tickHts ready , if yon pluiso , "
said the culluctiT , nppuaring at the
duor.
duor.Aa
Aa wo handed our pieces of paste
board ti ) the man , the same guard who
had twice befuro lool.ud in und peered
over his * ! u ulder , to thoaniioyanco cf
my ccmiumun , who muttered numo-
thing strongly condumnatoiy of hia
iniiuduncR. |
In atiother moment the main line
wai thundering over the viaduct , nnd
dashing , with itn roaring aud its tiparks
iuto the udt-r durknosfl of the ni ht ,
while our incdeat little ngino U'lii. >
fuBfiiijj out of boinii titiii.y and was
hooked on to the smaller charge.
"Now wo 10 ofl' for Dowuloy , " ex
claimed my i it iv friund.
Jiut ho wan wrong , A delay of
seine minutes yet took place , which
really seemed quite unnecessary ; for
there wag not a eoul on the platform
along which the gusts of rain nnd
wiud swept fiercely save nnd except
the station master , who , well wrapped
up , twice walked slowly past our car-
jiago , and looked cidowayj at us with
a very keen expression , or so I fan-
clod. My fellow traveler did not aeo
this , as ho was fixedly staring into va
cancy from the other ido of the car
riage , At lait we puflVd on to the
branch. Wo got into pretty good
speed as T O passed the second plat
form , which , on the Downloy branch ,
o\isls for the convenience of up pas-
sotigora , when , to my amazement , the
door vi as pulled open nnd n young man
jumped in.
"Como , my lad , I remonstrated ,
"this Is n very dangerous game ; ami
surely wo have been long enough a-
the s'ulion for you to not in leiniroly. "
"Yes , " ho > id with n grin.
On looking at him , 1 thought ho
was ono of the most disputed , impu
dent lm > kinjount { follows 1 hnd over
scon.
scon."Yer ; > ou have been nt the station
lonrj eunuch , " ho nddod.
Then he stopped without any per
ceptible roaion , to erin ngnin , nnrt to
wink nt mo. I tried to froeao him
by n scornful look , but it had not the
lenittll'oct upon him ,
"Now1 ho continued , "do cither of
you gents krow mi ? "
"I do not , " was my reply.
'M / companion turned hia face from
thu tndow for nn instant , nnd bestowing -
stowing a lofty glancoof contempt up
on the npeaker , resumed hia gnze.
This newcomer wna in \rayabashcd
at the cool manner in which his ad
vanccd were received but resumed :
"I want to have a little talk with
ono of you , bat I don't know which.
Have cither of you ever heard of
T.twoll , the Quaker , who wns waited
for when ho got out of the trnin , nil
through the electric telegraph which
wan n now thing in hisli.no. "
I stared nt the speaker , while my
follow traveler bestowed a momentary
glance upon him no boforo.
"Oh , come , " continued the yonntj
follow , assuming n still more knowing
expression , "thin won't do. The
branch ia only novon miles long , nnd
ono of you in wasting time awfully.
Which ono of you ia likely to bo waited
for at Downlcy.
I could only continue my blank
stare at the boy ( ho was little bettor ) ;
my fellow traveler just moved , but 1
tuok no iu-ticj of him.
"Como , 1 say , " urged the youth ,
"don't bo n fool , ono of you. I'mtolo-
graph clerk at the junction , nnd 1 hnvo
wired down to Downloy to huvo n
couple of bluoa ready for the carriage
204 15 ; that'o the number you seek
Oh , that's enough , " ho went on , turn
ing to my friend ; "I can see which is
the party. You'ro in for it , mister. "
"but but why tihould how could
anybody know ? " bcsrau the gcut'emau ' ,
nnd hia voice was now husky nnd quiv
ering.
" That doesn't matter , thnt I sop , "
retorted the youth ; "tho only question
is , are you afraid of n policeman just
now , or are you not ? "
' \Vell , there nro ciicumstancea nt
present "
"That will do , " interrupted the
clerk ; "I don't want to know the
particular ! ! . It was the guard of the
down train , liill Rixon ( ho's been a
policeman hinisolt ) put the station
master at the junction on the scont.
They wuro very cloco over it. Didn't
ho a.iy to me , 'Hero Sam , youaharom
whatever reward wo got ; ' nnd , of
course , they expect to get nomething. "
"lint what is the uao of tolling mo
thin now ? " demanded thu gentleman.
"Just this , " roturncd Mr. Samuel.
"Can you find a pound or two for ad
vice that will got you safely out ? "
' 'Yes here are hvo sovereigns. Will
that do ? " said my friend.
"Uood ! " ejaculated the clerk ,
dropping the money into his pocket ;
"now listen. About a mile this side ot
Downloy the road is under repair , nnd
the orders are not to run over it moro
than five miles an hour , in fact , just
before they got there the train very
nearly stops. I'll toll you the right
place to jump out , nnd I've got a kef.
If this'other party can manage it ho'd
better make himself scarce , too , I
think. There will bo n row when
they open the doors at Downloy. "
"But what will they do ? " asked my
follow traveller.
"Why , you don't suppose I should
bo such a fool to stay in after you had
got out ? " retorted the clerk , with n
laugh. "Nobody knows I'm in the
train , nnd it'e worth my walking four
miles to my lodgings if I can earn five
pounds by doing it. "
'Now , sir , " said the stranger , turn
ing to me , "it is not fair for mo to
involve you in this trouble. "
" 'Don't mention it , " noid I. It was
c etupid thing to say , but perhaps the
champagne had something to do with
it.
"But I must mention it , " returned
my fullow-pas'iongcr. "Tho fact is ,
that it is dangerous for y.m to remain
horo. If the carriage arrives with no
ono but you in it , thu olliivra will cer
tainly mistake you for mo. Two days ,
nt least , will bo required to establish
jour identity , during which you will
Lo kept clesdy confined. "
This was an alarming prospect in
deed. Two days' confinement , not to
, spcnk of the annoyance and diegract' ,
would have been ruin to mo. 1 hail
business on the following day of vital
importance , which could not possibly
bu postponed , and my companion's
anticipation ! ! seemed only too prob
able. "I hope , " I said , hesitatingly ,
"I hope yon have not boon engaged
iu any transaction of u questionable
iiattui ? '
' Oh , as to that"returned my com
panion , "I will till yon frankly the
whole truth ubout tin's painful case.
You nro n gentleman and u man of

Bat I weary you. "
' Kir from it , " I exclaimed , " 1'rny
go on. "
' 'I liavo little moro to say , " ho ro
sumed. "You know why I lly , I
will tell you who I am. My naino is
Lionel Gerald do Mortimer have
you an army list about you ? "
I mechanically clapped my hands
.upon my waistcoat pockets , ns if to
bo quite certain on the matter , and
then regretfully said , "No , I have
not. "
"It'a ' of little "
consequence , ro-
numcd the officer. "I should merely
show you that the Hon. Lionel Ger
ald do Mortimer's name U in no ple
beian corps. My father's , the baron ,
name is of courio fumiliar to you. "
I murmured that it was , and Sam
uel , the telegraph clerk , nlso mur
mured that it was familiar to him.
"May 1 contido in yon ? " said the
fugitive ,
"You can , ' 1 exclaimed. "You
can , " echoed the Snmuol , the tclo-
> .r.i ( > h clerk , and then wo all shook
hinds. The otllcor stooped to his
\aliso n ! ? ii ] , nnd the clerk hurriedly
whispered :
" 1 fay we're all right. "
Ho winked nnd struck the side of
Ida n > ie with his finger , and I mohati-
ically imitated 1m gesture The tinin
was slackcntfg speed , but the captain

"Fling out your big , " s id the

"Now jump the way thu train ia going -

\Vo did BOjJUtd although n good
deal shaken , no harm was done end
wo saw the angry lights nt the rear of
the carriages disappear with quicken-
nit ! speed around n curve.
"Well , I'm oil1 , " exclaimed the clerk.
"Gooil luok to you , captain , " and ho
vanished in the darkness.
"Now , where on earth nro wo to
go to ? " aiid my friend. "I only
thought of coming to Dawnley , be
cause it was , I supposed , n quiet , re
tired place ; but 1 don't know the
neighborhood. "
"I do , " I naid , "follow mo. " Ho
followed mo accordingly , and I took
him to the little inn ut nhich I usual
ly lodgedj and where I could obtain n
bed for him. This latter oiler ho de
clined. He said ho would just wash
and have noiuu bread und cheese , nnd
then uall : across the country to ntown
ho named , eomo few miles oil' 1 , of
course , allowed hi'ii to decide on hia >
own movements without commentnnd
in a few minutca wonrnvodatmy inn ,
which was luckily a got d way out o (
Downlcy in our direction. Tired nnd
pplanhbtl ns ho was , for the night wns
Viet nnd tempestuous , thu ofiitor de
cided on having "ht crust , " ns ho
\llcd it , which turned out lo be n very
hearty meal of cold roast beef , before
refreshing himiolf with n wnah. I
then took him up stairs to my room ,
nnd aa wo crossed the landing he naid ,
pointing to a ttaircaso :
"Whoro doe * that ( light lovl to ? "
"Oh , only to the Inck j ru ot the
hoiist. ' , " I replied , nnd we entered
I hud obtained two uandlus , and he
wont , taking hia vnliao with him , into
the dressing room , whilu I sorted
ionic papain which I hud brought
down with mo. I hoard him washing ,
und in a minute or two , hearing
footstep coming from the drawing
room , 1 looked up. I recoiled with
an exclamation of alarm , for there
stood a man in n mole-akin jacket mill
troiisora , cloth cap and shaven free ,
and close-cut hair.
"Who are you ? " I exclaimed , grasp
ing my chair as n possible wonpon ol
defonco.
"Oh , it'a all right I should say , il
you don't know mo , " said the man ,
and I recognized the voice of Copt ,
do Mortimer.
"What ! " I cried , moro astonished
than before , "In the name of all that
ia wonderful , what dooa thia moan ? "
"You nro not a bad follow , but you
are very green , " returned the voico.
"A greater spooney I never saw nor
n bolter hearted ono. Why , old fol
low , you stare as if you had never read
of n sham mustache or beard. Good-
by , old chap. You have mudo n mis-
tuko to-night , that's all ; end our sharp
young friend of the telegraph depart
ment has made a much greater. I
won't ask you to shako hands nith mo
again , because you are n gentleman
and u man of honor , though soft , nnd
1 am a rogue ; but tnko thia. "
As ho epoko ho offered mo a ring.
"I don't wan1 , " I began.
"Nonsonuo , ' said he ; "take it. It
is ono of the few thtnga which are
really and honestly my own ; believe
me tor once when I toll you that I
hnvo had that ring for twenty years.
That's right. I wish you good luck
Good by.1'
llo was gone ; valise , moleskin
