It came to au end at last. The Professor,
with his hands under his °oat -teals, looking
not at all unlike a, diguified bantam cock,
strutted round the various rooms, turned
the key in the frout door with his wetland,
and descended the steps. One foot in the

" Teke care of the matches, dear," his
wife cried after him.
Dr Dow stalked majestically in without
vouchsafing a. backward gla,nce • he passed
the dining -room door, his study door, and
turned un a dim narrow passage; the closet,

served as a general receptacle for lumber,
and all the odes and ends of the household.
The Peofessor tumbled over two troulte, hod
knoeked his hat off against some sharp pro-
jection, before it occurred to him to dive in-
to his coat-tail pocket for a match. Then
he discovered that the unfriendly projection
had been thegas bracket, and that the shock
had knooked off the burner. No matter; it
was only one more annoyance. He lighted
the burnerless pipe and proceeded to look
for his coat. There it was, not even decently
hung up --just throat oat of sight and mind
behind an empty crate. The Professor
carried it out into the lobby andsorrowfully
viewed the creeees by the light of day. .
Mr. Grierson ; 1 have to look in here for
mine te or two,"
"Then perhaps you will allow me to wait
for you? 1 heve several other things to
speak to you about.° •
Very reluctantly, the Professor gave way ;
he had the instincts of gentlemen, and
conld hardly decline as curtly at his own
door as elsewhere. "The. h.oese is en des.
habilIe," he said, opening the door with his
latchkey; "butt if you leke te wait here for
a moment, I will not detain yen longer.
Leave the door open—it feels uncomsnouly

" Hullo ! is anything the matter ?" he call

she declared indignantly ; we have

But the Professor coming hi just then,
declined to interfeve. It was better—mach

be cheated than to cheat; and if there was
any imposition in the matter, he preferred
to leave it entirely to the conscience of the

It was cerious that Mr. Griersou took
much the same view when he saw the bill.

iniquity in high quarters.

the purpose of discharging out at sea the
sludge and mud from the London sewers.
AThen these are completed, there will be a
fleet of five ships engaged in this work.
These will be capable of removing 4,000 tons

the clearing of it away costs ih320,000 per

150 barges. These men have to deal with
two pounds of rubbish per head of popula-

Dr. Dew gathered up the maltreated coat

where were they? Whet way was this for a
man to setoff to his well-earned rot? In
j
a fever of uatifiable impatience at the utter
poreasonableness of all things animate and

Professor turned and locked the eloaet door
—which had swung to of its own accord --
and rushed once more into the street.
That was the last of the day's minor wor-
ries ; nothing else went wrong.They did

quite pethetically. He had held. his ground
through all her arguments awl entreeties.
" If 1 believed the young man to be worthy

Some days after the exodus from town it
chanced that the Professor had occasion to
go back to attend a committee meeting. He
was to return that same night. Neverthe-
less, Mrs. Dow and Mary escorted him to
the tiny railway station and surronnded
him with little attentions, as if it, were to be
a lengthy parting; a state of things that
tne Professor thoroughly appreciated. He
looked down upon teem from the window
of the railway carnage with quite a benign.
ant expression.

Dr. Dow reached town very comfortably,
attended his meeting, aud, after lunch, pro-
ceeded leisurely in the direction of his own
house. Not very far from it, he unexpect-
edly and rather unwillingly came upon John
Grierson. The young man was turning a
corner sharply, and the pair almost came
into collision. There was no loophole for
pretending they had not observed each
other; Mr. Grierson at any ra,te wanted no
loophole; it was a chance nob to be lightly
lost.
"Ab, Dr. Dow, I am lucky to have met
you," he said. "1 thought you were in the
country."
" So we are. A committee meeting
brought me in for the day --that is all,"
quickening. his pace as he spike.
Mr. Greerson quickened his too. "I want-
ed to tell you that I have got that at point -
meet I mentioned; it will make a very
cemfortable addition to my income."
I am glad to bear it," returned the Pro-
fessor frigidly, walking up his own door-
steps,—"I wid bid you good -morning now,

he locked the closet door! Aud there it

since the house was shut up. How the house

mystery not to be explained. From wall
and ceiling of the closet, from shelves and
pegs and crates and. garments, hung waving
penclicles of soot. livery box and bundle
was crusted with it, even to the boarded
floor; and the luokless Professor stood gaz.
ing helplessly in at the havoc he had accom-
plished.
Mr. Grierson gave vent to a prolonged
whistle. " Phew if that's the plight your
servants leave behind them, I'd make a clean
sweep of them, every one, Why, the place
might have been burned down three times

"It was 1 who left it,' gasped the cox:e-

Tho Professor might begreat, in metaphysics,
hut in a practical emergency he was no-
where. As far as John Urierson could per-
ceive, they were likely to spend the rest, of
the evening gazing at the sooty scene.
" You aro going back by the six train, I
suppose ?" he remarked tentatively.
"How eau I go back with a house like
this ?" desnaa ded the Professor. "1 shall
never hear the last of it. Look at Mrs.
Dow's cloak •, I was to have taken it back
with me." Ile lifted the edge of the gar-
ment as bespoke—the furdining might have

Mr. Grierson shook his head discouraging-
ly " Pm afraid Mrs. Dow will never ptt t that

"1 never had a misfortune like this in my
life before," wailed her unhappy husband.
"I'(1 almost as soon the whole place had

Mr. Griersoa shook his head a second
time. It was (tette a refreshment of spirit
to be able to look on reprovingly; he would.
even if ide own afFairs bat for
aardoodvdeeraiin'
consegnence. All at once a midden velem
of inept ation came upon him ; some expres-
sion that was hardly compassion so mac h
as self interest sweat ocro-s his complacent
face; he ditnly saw some beautifulpossibilie
of estehlishing a hold upon thi
e mmaculate
Professor, and working it rouod to his own
end.
" How NvEttld it be if you were to say
nothingat till about it?" he suggested ca.uti-
nutty. "Get a charwoman in and have this
mess elemed awley ? Its only soot, after all
—there's no real damage done."
The Professor gresped at the idea, like the
proverbial drowning man at the straw.
" Could it be done ?" he asked anxiously.
"There is that cloak, too, only bought la.st
winter."
"Couldn`t you get another like it ?" Main-
! uated the tempter. "They're sure to have
plenty more at the shop it came from
women's clothes are all cut after the same
pattern.
The Professor fell headlong into the trap;
the downward path is fatally easy, once the
first crooked step is taken. John Grierson
promptle placed himself at the head of affairs
and the Professor was like clay in the hands
of the potter. A charwoman was huuted up
brooms and brushes brought into full play,
Dr. Dow and Mr. Grierson assisting till they
might have passed for a pair of itiner-
ant Christy Minstrels. The cloak was vigor-
ously shaken out of the study wiudow, and
tied up in a clumsy paper parcel; ready for
negotiating the chaege next morning. By
ten o'clock that night the Professor's credit
was saved; but his innocence was gone. For
him, a grimy skeleton would haunt that
closet through all time to come.
"Would it be pessible to stop up thab gas
pipe, do you think?" he asked his aocom
"dice, as they stood. critically surveying the
result of their labours. " It doesn't look at
all bed till you tura that light on; a person
coming in with merely a candle would. not
notice any difference.
Mr. Grierson laughed. "All right. We'll
make assurance doubly sure. A plug of
paper will keep that pipe oft duty till it's
convenient to put it on again.—Now we
may as well look after some weep and water
for ourselves; we have put in a fair night's
work."
Whatever Jelin Grierson's failings might
have been in the past, Dr. Dow had
no reason to complain of his doing things
by halves on this occasion. He gave
the finishing touches to , everything,
swept away all trace of the oharwoman'S
presence took upon himself the sole respon-
sibility of the cloak transation, and present-
ed himself at, the station the next morning
in abundance -of time to hand it in to the
professor's carriage and asaure him that de-
tection was impossible.
"1 really do not know what to say to
you, Mr, Grierson," said the Professor, un-
eesily arranging his parcels hn the opposite
seat. "You have given yourself a good
deal of trouble over this unfortunate accid-
ent. lam almost afraid I lost my balance
slightly yesterday ; but it is so seldom that
ttnything of that kind has occurred, you
can perheys understan my unwillingness to
have it generally talked about."
"Don't think of it," said Mr. Grierson,
with great politeness. "Very. few of us
have contrived to get on so far without
some kind of skeleton to hide away. —Good -

Show that the proposed steamer will bear
a strong resemblance to the Macdougal
whalebecks, which have in the last few
years become such an important factor in
grain and ore transportation in the United
States and ehiewhere. The whalebaoks are
built, with both ends alike, very much in
hitpe of a spoon; but experience has shown
that such a shape exposes the rudder and
wheel to more than ordinary risk, and,
inerooher, can lay no claim to any eounter-
balancing aa vantage over the ordinary
style. For this reasoo it. wee deemed advis-
able to retain the old and tried model. The
motive power will be steam alone. There
are no masts, no rigging, no bulwarks.
There is nothing to break the sweep of

stern, strongly builb of steel to re-
sist all sorts at weather, and cover-

ment admits of speedy and convenient hand-

20 per cent. less than that of an ordinary
