CHAPTER II.
Tom Halliday Was copying
raessenger in the office Of
Sharpe & Floyd. He was just
twenty, earned IS shillinge
which till lately had suffice
moderate ueeds. We say tit
for, some few mouths previou
had-, in a rash monient, fallen
which. he found to lead him in
travagant outlay in pomatum a
ties, and in various ways to c
a considerable tax on his mo
sources. His sweetheart was th

house in Chancery -lane, in
Messrs. Sharp & Floyd had

he hung up his well worn office coat,
gave his hat an extra polish, and then
started off to a certai tree in Regent's
Park, where he found Bessie More al-
ready awaiting him.

• The main topic of conversation, n
unnaturally, Was Mr.eorpeth's adve

ed themselves by discussing hypothe
pally, what use they w uld make of t
reward, supposing the they were luc
enoTigh to find the missing deed; , Va

much aggrieved.
" I didn't.": said. TOm indignant..
ly. "1 never said anything of the
sort,"
Young man," replied Uncle Keck-
widge, with dignity, "you said distinct-
ly winkles; I noticed it particular. I'm
very partial to winkles, but shrimps
ain't no account."
"Come, Miele," said Bessie; "you
know the last time Torn brought win-
kles you said you preferred shrimps."
"We ain't had winkles," resumed the
old. man, quite ignoring his niece's re-
mark, "not shape that day when we
found the earwig in my Sunday hat.
And then they was in a pie."
"No, no, Uncle," said Mrs. Moyse,
laughing ; "that wasn't winkles; .that
was eels." '
"1 dunno about that," geld Uncle
Keckwidge thoughtfully; "but I know
you pick 'em out with a pin. With a
pin !" he repeated' at intervals, like
an echo, fainter and fainter each time.
"With a pin !" and then relapsed into
silence.

great case of Davis vs. Morpeth w IS ex-
pected to come off Wednesday week,
and how the most important title deed
was mysteriously missing, and. Mr. Mor-
peth had. offered a reward of five hun-
dred pounds to any one who would restore
it.
Uncle Keckwidgebrightened up sud-
denly at the word "reward."
"1 know," he said, nodding his head
sagely. "1 saw the bill myself, at the
baker's round the corner. A terrier dog
with one eye, answers to the name o'
Bob. Ten shillin' reward."
" No, no, Uncle," said Bessie ;

e But scarcely bad he taken the first

g his lower jaw dropped, and be remained

was spell -bound. ,
Good gracious, Tom," said Bessie;
"what's the matter? Are you ill ?"
"Don't say it's a black beetle," said
k Mrs. Moyse, peering anxiously into the

that he had (quite nninteutioually) mad

if he had 'said it on purpose.

"Why could e't he le ve my trousers

means pacified;
Here Uncle Kecksvid e, who had been
looking about uneasly, s if in search
of something, pulled a 1 rge pin out of
his necktie, and beg n gging vigorous-
ly at a shrimp .as ho gh apparently
without satisfactory esul t.
"N�, Uncle, said Me . Moyse, tak-

are shrimps." (We gei ve to confess
that the good. lady prone need the word
as Writ:laps.):
"Then what did. he s
5 one eye, anssvers to the name of Bob ;"
and relapsed into vacancy.
_ But Tom did. notions continue in his
u .mornentary condition of -bewilderment.
. He pulled out -the rough draft of the
advertisenient, which was still in his
s poeket, and began to compare the
uames of the parties to the d.eed, as-
% there mentioned, with the piece of
parchment which had covered the jam -
pot, and which now lay upside down on
g the table.
, "Ralph Howard and Frederick Pot-
t lock Thomas Burt and Siduey Forrest
Dysart Wm. Henry Austin. Yes, the
very names. Mrs. Moyse, I've found
; the missing deed, or at least a piece of
- it ; and now, if we can trade •the rest
our fortune is made!"
. "You- don't mean .that dirty old
- piece of sheepskin that lay about
. here for ever so long, aad that I
f took to cover my jam pots! Good
graciOus !"
"Mrs. Moyse, that dirty old piece of
parchment is worth £500. But where's
the rest of it? For heaven,s sake, don't
say it's destroyed." _
"It's all up, at Any rate," said Mrs.
Moyse, flinging open her cupboard.
"There's two -dozen pots there. and they
have each got a piece of it. That pot
was the first that we've opened. And
I rather think "—rummagingin the cup.
board-'--" yes, here it is—I rather think
this is all the rest of it."
It was an anxious moment. The mu-
tilated parchment was spread out, the
pots uncovered, and the circular frag-
ments restored, though with some diffi-
culty,- each to its proper place. At last
the task was finished. A few of the
"and whereases " and. "provided alsos "
were slightly sticky, but not the slight-
est part was missing.
