In the winter, as we all know, many hotels at the seaside arid • °thee places of summer resort are closed; then the swallow, as has been ascer- tained, flies south.; but whither does the man with the swallow -tail --the John" or "George," whose vocation is over for the season at the Cr wn or the Vulture—fly?

But in theatitutnn o the year before last a curious thing hat pett- ed at that hotel. It was the race week at • Brig iton, when we are always full, and 4 very room was engage(1; Most of them; b old custeiners, but one or two, of Gears;, by strangers. One of these last . was Mr. John Adamsota; he . was a c ance comer —that -is, he had not ,writte be- forehand to secure a'robni; as is sual at that time, and therefore he g t a very bad ou,e. It was No..47, Noll' h in `ack seasons was oeier.'.oecupied ; it looked arto the little _courtyard in the• middle of the house, and had. not ing to reconimeud it but its great hei•ht ; it was, in fact, two floors thro•wn. into one; some nervous persous .had a f ncy for it,howeveabecauee afew steps wn. thepassage was the trap-door in the roof, under which stood the ladder hat foimed the fire -escape; but, as .a tile, our people who Were shown to No. 47 ob- jected to it: Mr. AdaMson, however, made no objections, and, indeed, to look at him, you would have said that he had been used to worse rooms. It wasnot so much his clothes—though they didn't fit him, and yet looked as if he was wearing them for the first -time —but a certain hang -dog, oringing-way he had with hinij which allowed he was a luta fellow. He was a turfite, 'of coursee-a man wb.o made his living, or tried to make it, by horse racing, and shad. come •dotva to till his pockets at the expense of other people; but, so far as that went, so had alt our other guests. There was the great Mr. Dodds, the bootmaker for instance--soaly second in the extent of the operations to the Le- viathan himself, who travelled with his secretary, and had our first -floor front; there was Captain Ledger, -wlso went halves in wiunings—whatever bo did in losings—with the Marquis _of apavin ; and there was Sir Toby Gray, who had three horses oti the bill himself, and one of them first favorite for the Cup. But all these nten for the present, at least, were men eisubstance, and look- ed like it. You might have said they Nivere made of Money, for every oue of ahem had a ipoeketbook bursting with bank notes, which was certain to be either fuller or emptier before the week was out. Now, Ma. Adamson did not look though.b.e.•owned a bank -note in a world, and, if I had to name his trad I could have dense it the first moment clapped eyes on him; it was Welshe However, it is not the business of hotel -keeper tO turn any man from b door wOo. want e a bed and can afford pay for it; and as for picIting and' stea ing, our plate Was all Britannia met while Mr. Dodds and Captain Leger en gir Toby knew very well how to tal care of themselves and their moue having been on the turf for .the la twenty years, and accustomed to all d scriptions of villainy. As for me; I li enough to do'at that busy time with° leoking after the seedy tenant of No. wh.o went up the hill every day to t coarse ou loot, and took six. peun'or of whiskey iitli his dinner in • the co fee -room, aud nothing after it. Only course it was suspicious; for the .Hai and Glove was not a hotel meant f the likes of bine and he knew it. 11 was always apologizing; as it were, f being there, and hoping he was not gi ing trouble„when he asked for this an that—always something cheap—at ti bar in the public room. He also pr tendea to be ignorant as to who w who, and iequired .of me ou one ace sion whether that was the lir. Dodd whom he hied just seen comp out of N 4; whereas it is my opinion that 1 knece. them all, and who was th principal winner after each day work. There was.a good deal of betting o Use race for the cup that year, in whic were entered two public favorites, wh were very heavily backed by the gentl existed:aping him.. He had not left the house that day since he had re- turned from the races, and ,even now he showed no signs of . departure. He • said he bad been in famously treated, but had too much respect for Mr. Dodds to take the law of him for the insult that had been inflicted ' upon hints And he stayed for the next day's races, where he told me he had been " welshet." out of fifteen shillings, or .heshould have been nippy to give me half-a-crown, though a attendance" was iueludedau our bills. In justice to himself, myena.ster sent for the police; but, of coarse,- they were no good, and ' Mr. Dodds had to give . them five - pounds, in consideration of having ex- pressed an opinion, in his usual terms, upou their incompetency. He offered. oue-thousand pounds reward. for the re- covery of the notes, and: started off with the secretary (with his tail between his legs) for the next race meeting. . - Some people thought it was the sec- retary who had dope the trick; but Arr. Dodds knew better, and so did. I. I .aiave lieard of things being..." borne in" upon folks —a firet cousinof mine by the mother's side being a bit of a Cal- viu—bot never was auy man more con- vinced of what he hadn't seen than I was that Mr. John Adamson bad taken that money. The I Itold it got on nee iVall surprising, especially after the as . thousaud pounds reward was offered, te which did not make my brain less busy e, about the matter, You may be certain. I At first I could talk of ',ailing else, 80 a. that" got to be quite a -laughing-stock to with my fellow -servants at the inn, i • .-elhen I gre'w sulky and dropped it, t� which. was afterwards lucky for me. 1- They, of course, talked about it too, for al, a robbery ef that magnitude under one's - d . own roof was enough to set any tongue se wagging; but after a month or two the y, . thiug wore away from their minds; st whereas, with me, it was as fresh as ever. Where could he have put that money when we searched him and his room so thoroughly? and did he get clattraway with it? were the two ques- tions that worried me most. That he stole the notes froru Mr. Dodd's drawer I took for granted. • . Perhaps I should not so soon have 0 - ad ut 7, he th f - of id got free of my fellow i3ervasits' chaff— er especiallyats it had begun to rile me— e if something else had not presently oc- or . curved: tp turu their attention from the v- subject altoptiaer:• This was a inur- d• der committed. at Lewes, withiu a' few io miles•of us. A -murder is always more e- excitieg than a robbery, and in this he- m stance the victim was a Brighton cab.- • drivet, known to Many of • us, which,' of s course, made 'the '.iecident. _more at - o. tractive. Otheawise it was a common le case enough; the man .had made a few e pounds in a Derby lottery, and for 's those and a watch in his pocket, the other, -who was a bookmaker 011 the n tad, called Kyneton, had murderea d I him. The trial had nothing noteworthy o iu it from first to last; but when the e- • murderer had met hi deserts, a cer- ed ill a LQWCS pied into . other h atttention, and more than any- derer was found d made a voluns of the prison men; and as a rank outsider 'WOO, s also, of couPse, did the book -makers., was -rumored 1111 the coffee room tit evening that Mr. Dodds bad cleaxe twenty thousand pounds out of th taansaction, and by the way he and h friends and his • secretary kept it that night in the first -floor front, .yo would have thought it might have bee forty thousand. What I will tear fo the racing folks, whether gentry ( otherwise, is, that -they -ere free-hand ed; it is " light come, light go," wit them, I :suppose; but when fortan sends them a stroke of luck they le other people share it. It was ope house iu No. 5 that night (next to lii bedroom the room- was, and thea th secretary's as I well remember) for as knew him, and I dare say a goo many as didn't know him (more tha to say "Bravo, Dodds !" when • he we 'reported to have pulled !off a stake took their glass at his expense. Bum Dodds had his eyes' about hifor A that, and his secretary -too, and eve would. have been to the man wh tried to take more than what was o fered him—that-is, aught beyond foo and liquor.
