We all meet just outside the house, and theca it came out that Hawleyhad left his friend hehind, though he would give no ex- planation of his action; only saying that there would be enough. " Hut you lrnow the man we expect to find Bin Bill ?" Tom whispered. Have y laughed. I wondered a little at .his coolness, for Ton and I had both shadowed Bill himself only 'the eight before. However, there was no tulle for argument then, and Tom sud- deuly burst in the door, leaving us to fol- low. Ono or two harmless shots were fired, and we found ourselves with two prisoners, a aaritarsgeteade-nadeseeumborestailsaa ,... bank notes aiid Coins scattez ed on the ground, but that was all ; no tools or any- thing that could prove the work had really been done by the captured men, and in the struggle which followed Tom's arrival a wig and false beard were torn off, showing the supposed Big Bill to be an entire stranger. . Tom swore roundly when he discovered his mistake, for he would rather have had Big Bill than all the counterfeiters put together. Hawley laughed et him and then I laughed, toe, whets I .picked up a certain little trophy which I happened to light upon, half hidden among the coin ; but still 1 didn't say anything, for I was niad, too, for -thinleiug--that- the- fact -that- - we Arad spotted Fury and could lay our hands on him fled blinded me as well as Tom. Hawley and his friend took the prisoAers to the county jail the next morning, but not before the former had said a few private words with me. Tom declared he had some business to settle before he could leave, and at last I got it out of him that he was going to marry his little country friend. " When 1" I asked. " .To -morrow, if we can get away. Those brutes would work her to death if they got the chance ;. but she likes me and I like her, so we've arranged it between us." I suggested that it was rather quick work, and that upset him ; he knew it was quick himself, but hated to hear anybody else say it. . That same afternoon, to all intents and purposes; I left, never minding Tom's re- quest that I should stay and leave with him and his bride. But the next, night I watched him help the girl over the stile to where eld Tuttle's fleetest horse stood har- nessed to the trap a little way up the road, and just as the distant sound of the wheels died away a muffled figure came through the gate, and in another moment Hawley and his posse were in the house itself, while the two trusty chaps he had left outside aided me in felling Big Bill to the ground and slipping the irons on him. Hawley's friend saw that Tom came to no harm, foe lie.-tivas waiting for them-at--the- railway station ;• and when Tom drove up be arrested the bride 'off-handas one of. Bill Fury's accomplices, and at the trial it came out that she was his wife. I never dis- covered how it leaked out, but it seems the gang heard of our" being on their, track, and sent the ,men. and money to the cellar as decoys, the real work being done in the house itself. To save her husband, Polly formed the plan of meeting us in the train, getting us in the house -which was opened by her uncle, who was another accomplice of Bill's -and then enlisting, the sympathies of one or both of us, when Tom's unlucky love nonsense gave her a new idea. Bill's escape froth his hiding -place was to have been effected on the night we made the raid, if possible ; but Hawley, who was a fresh man, and a stranger to the gang, though they were known to him, checked that part of the programme by having his friend and another man " guard the house. They expected to have captured Fury than, lint Polly's sharp eyes spied the watchers and' put her on her guard. Perhaps' the shrewdest part of her whole plan was having a decoy Bill ; that took me in completely, for I thought I had already ' tracked the man to. his lair, and of course never looked for him anywhere else. The first suspicion I:•had was .aroused by finding one of the bows I had seen"on Polly's head in among the coins, and then I understood Hawley's coolness. , , She worked the whole affair, decoys and all ; but believing only two detectives were in the place, she never thought to guard against hlzI%, and he readily discovered her identity. She was a good wife, was Polly, and a talented,. clever woman, too ; only, unfortunately, she turned her talents to bad account. Poor Tom was,ahit hard, but it cured him of flirting, and a little while afterwards he married a pretty lassie and settled down as a good, steady husband.

Thrashed a khan Twice ails Size. The Story .of a Detective's Search and His Love Episode. It was in the winter of '53 or '54 that I Mist ran across Tom Trevitt, as I shall call him. Though I had been detective long enough to know him by hearsay as one of the best and cleverest men that ever hunted/ a criminal, still we had not met, and at last or . accident that I was e seemed to take to each 'tither, from the leery oppositeness -of our dispositions, I believe ;now, and we were just as contrary in appearance and looks, for Tom was a wonderfully handsome chap. Everything was in keeping ; dark hair, dark eyes and whiskers, and just enough red in 'his dark-skinned cheeks to give him life and animation. Torn had the girls on his- aide, and though they often called him heartless and made a great fuss over his .slighting ways, yet they took his part when the old y ... -people assailed hire. Tom and I were together, on and off, for a little -over three years, and then I lost sight of him, never seeing him egain until -after I had married and settled down a little, and then one day , we met in the street, and I found' him just as' jolly.. and handsome as ever. I took him home, intro- duced him to my wife, and before an hour teas over stood pledged to join him in a hunt for a gang of counterfeiters., Tom and another man had been given the case, each, working separately • until the •clues came together, showing them a little village as the probable place where the counterfeiting work was carried on. Tom proposed that he and I should go down to the village together, as surveyors, and stop at the first house near the supposed place •ctf counterfeiting ' that would take us in, while Hawley, the other detective, was to put up' at another place and have no -.ostensible ' connection or even intercourse with either of us ; so that if one failed, the other would be sure to succeed -for Trevitt had recognized the hand cif an old bird in - some of the work on the notes -a man knonfwn as Big Bill Fury, who had given Ane one or two fruitless hunts, and one of the sharpest cracksmen in the,profession. He was caught at last, though; and got a sentence, of twenty years, .but in a few years he was out again, and Tom Trevitt be - 'loved that he had taken to counterfeiting as he had done once before when he was hard up.

Dr. J. 1) Macdonald a leading citizen of Hamilton, Ont., Was asked by a London Advertiser correspondent as to his opinion 'for or against the political union of Canada ith the United States Republic. He said;: w " It is a difficult matter to discuss. It may be said that, to a patriotic man, there should be no difficulty, but under the condi- tions which surround Canada we may be allowed to hesitate before discussing even such a question as annexation to the United States. Undoubtedly. it is a question pre- sent to many minds at the present moment. -Tire great -or niin-icer, T believe, are -loath to look at political union, not front any aversion to the Republic or to republicanism, but ' from a desire. to put from themselves, as far as possible, the confession of political failure which would be iiiiplied in their seeking for Canada incorporation with her strong neighbor. Whether as a stepping stone to annexation, or as affording an op- portunity for development in a more honor- able way, many would like the experiment.. of. national independence. Attaining to national independence, Canadians would have conditions much simplified for ,any future arrangements. Tho advantage or disadvantage of such arrangements the satisfaotiort or disappointment from them, the honor or the reproach would be all their own, no friends across the sea would. be compromised. In the meantime the colonial condition is a source of great politi- cal weakness and uncertainty. It affects the, very manhood of the country • un- favorably.
