CHAPTER II.—(C'utt'd)
' My word, Middleton!" said
Charles, coming to meet tee. ''I
thought 1 had seen the last of you
when I left you reclining on George
in the drift. I do believe you have
got yours.•lf into this state of fever -
heat purely to bo of use to us two;

cut :tire. Let bygones be bygones,
and let us shako hands while you
are in this melting mood."
I could not speak. but wo shook
bands cordially, and I hurried off to
get my ticket.
"You can only book to Tarbor-
ough," he called after tee, "where
wo change, and catch the London
express."
The station -master gave ale my
ticket• and then approached
Charles, arid touched his cap.
"Might any of you gentlemen be
going to London, sir 1" he inquir-
ed
"A11 three of us."
"I don't think you will get on,
sir. The news cause down this
me•reing that the evening express
f►une 'Yarborough last night was
thrown off the rails by a driftand
got knocked about, and I don't ex-
pect the line is clear yei. There
seili bo no trains cooling till later
it the day. I ani afraid."
"The night express said 11311)11
suddenly. "Do you mean the 9
train, which you catch by the 8.2

"Yes, sir."
"She was in it!" said Ralph in
a hoarse voice, as the man walked
away.
-How late the train is :" said
Charles. -Quarter of an hour a1 -

lily. 1 say, Jervis"-- calling af-
ter him—"any particulars about the
accident ? Serious?"
"Oh dear no, sir, not to my

as the train came in sight ; and he
went through the certnnmy of ring-
ing the bell, although we were the
yule travellers on the platform.
It was uuh- au hour's run to Tar -
waiting -room fire, keeping a sharp
look -out for the arrival of the
train. When 1 cane out some time
1r.t•or, wondering if it were ever go-
ing to arrive at all, 1 found Charles
and the man in black walking up
ar'J down together, evidently in
earnest conversation. When I join-
t) thou they ceased talking (I nev-
et can imagine why people general-
ly do when I come up). and the lat-
ter said that he would make in-
quiry at the booking -office, and left,
its.
"Who is that man?" 1 asked.
"flow should 1 know 1" said
Charles absently. "He says he has
been a London detective till just
lately, but he is an inspector of po-
lice now. Weill" as the man re-
turned.
"Buoking-clerk can't remember
it, sir; but the clerk at t•he tele-

lady leaving a telegram last night,

"Has it. been sent yet 1"
"Yes. sir; some tune."

Oentlemen,--1 wish to express my appreciation of the 38
h.p. llainller which you have delivered to me. ilefore ship-
ping the car to ('analis I made a three weeks' trial of it, cev-
ering some 1,21)) miles. The car ran perfectly, and i never
had the slightest trouble of any kind, and I think it quite lives
up to the many claims von nlnke for it. The silence, smooth-
ness of running, and power of ac:•eleretion on hills is really
remarkable.
My petrol con9nrnption was 16 miles to the gallon, includ-
ing a great deal of driving in traffic. The tyres show no ap-
preciable signs of wear, and 1 think it will prove light on tyres.
I am really delighted with the ear.—Yours sincerely,
(Signed) C. A. BOONE, of Toronto, Canada.
