A bitter December midnight, mid tho up express panting through its ten min ute' rest at Rugby. What with passen gers Just arriving, and passongcre just departing; what with tho friends who camo to seo tho last of tlio departing passengers, or to meet the arriving ones; tho platform was full enough, I can as sure you ; and I had somo difficulty in making my way from carriago to car riage, oven though I generally find that peoplo (almost unconsciously, perhaps) move asido for the guard when they seo him walking up or down closo to tho carriago doors. This difficulty was in creased too, by tho inaiifouvrcs of my companion, a London detective, who had Joined mo to give himself a better opportunity of examining tho passen gers. Keenly ho did it, too, in that seemingly careless way of his; and, whllo ho appeared to bo only un idio lounging acquaintance of my own, I know that under his unsuspected scru tiny it wits next to impossible for tho thioves ho was seeking, to escape oven in hampers. I didn't troublo myself to help him, for I know it was n't necessa ry, yet I was as anxious as hundreds of others wero that thoso practical thioves whom Jho polico had been hunting for tho last two days, should bo caught, nsJ llioy deserved. Sometimes wo camo upon a group which my companion could not take in at a glance, and then ho always found himself unusually cold, and stopped to stamp a littlo II fo into his petrified feet. Of course for mo this enforced standing was tho signal for an attack of that per sistent questioning with which railway guards aro familiar ; and, in attending to public questioners who deserved an swering, and unpollto ones who insist ed on It, I had not much timo for look ing about me; but presently I did catch myself watching a girl who stood alono at somo distauco. A girl very protty and pleasant to look upon, I thought, though her face, and her d'res-i, and her attitudo wero all sad. She stood Jii3t at the door of tho booking ofllco ; a tall, slight girl, In deep moumipg, with a quantity of bright, fair hair plaitod high upon her head, as well as hanging loosely upon her shoulders j with a childishly innocent fuco and protty, be wildered oyes. I wished I could havo gono straight lo her, nnd put her into ono tho most comfortable of tho lino of carriages at which sho gazed timidly. Just as I hesitated a very remarkablo flguro elbowed its way to mo ; a stout, grandly dressed old lady, panting pain fully, and almost piercing mo with a pair of restless, half-opened oyes, that looked out through tho gold-rimmed spectacles perched on hor sharp noso. Two porters followed her, laden with bags, cloaks, umbrellas and flowers the only flowers in tho station, I expect that winter night and ono of tlio men winked at mo over her head, while tho other guarded her treasures with a fuco of concentrated anxiety, and thoughts engrossed by posslblo fees. "This is tho Loudon train, is it, ga'ad?" sho asked, peering sharply into my faco with half closed oyes, as if she found it difficult to distinguish mo through her spectacles. From her wholo attitudo I guessed her to bo deaf, but I never guessed how deaf, uutll, after yolllug ray answer so loud that tho onglno driver must havo heard It eighteen carriages off, sho still remained stonily waiting for it. "Deaf ns n dozen posts," said tlio do. tectlve, aloud, giving tlio old lady nn express! vo littlo nod in tho direction of the train. "Slow train?'' sho nuked, in that plalntivotono which tho very deaf often use. "Mull !" I shouted, putting my mouth as close to her check its I fancied sho would like. "Aio t" sho shrieked back nt mo, tho spectaclis shaking a little on her thin noso. "Why should you wont nlo fnr listening to civil questions that you nro paid to answer. Aio indeed I I beliovo railway men think of nothing else." Then sho shook hor head angrily nnd waddled off, looking as aclil an old par ty ns T should over try to avoid. Iu ut overy door alio pcored through her gilt tcrlng spectacles, tho two porters tol lowing hor. until sho liutdo a stop bo foro an empty second-class carrlugo near my van, nud with much labor and ns slstanco Qot liersolf nnd her packoges into it. When I pussod, n fuw minutes ufler wards, sho was standing in tho door way, effectually barring tho door to atiy other pnsseugcr by hor own uiiattract Ivo appearance there, uud prolonging with nn ovidont relish tlionnxloly of tho obsequious porters. I fancy that though tho ptirso falio fumbled In was largo, tho FRIDAY, MAY 24, coin sho wanted wa3 but small, for I passed ou nnd left her still searching, nnd still nsklng questions of tho men, but hearing nothing either of tho re plica or of tho loud nsldcs which they Indulged in lo each other, I had reach ed tho other end of tho train, nnd was Just nbotit making my way bick lo my own van, when tho young lady I had beforo noticed wont slowly in front of mo towards tho empty flrst-clas3 com partment near which I stood. "Am I right for Euston?" sho n3kcd mo gently, ns sho hesitated nt tlio door. "All right, Miss," I said taking tho door from her, nnd standing whllo sho got in. "Any ltiggngo?" For from that vory moment I took her in n Bort of wny into my charge, becnuso sho was so thoroughly nlono, you sco, not hav ing nny friends there oven to sco hor off. " "No luggage, thank you," sho an swered, putting her littlo leather satch el down bcsldo her on tlio scat, nnd set tling herself In tho corner farthest from tho open door. "Do wo stop nnywhero between hero nnd London?" "Don't stop ngnln, Miss, except for n fow minutes to tnko tickets." Then I looked nt her ns much ns to say, "You nro nil right, becauso I'm tho guard," nnd shut tho door. I supposo that, without exactly bolng nwaro of it, I kept a sort of watch over this earriagc, for I saw plainly enough n lazy young gentleman whoperslstont ly kept hovering about It and looking in. His inquisltlvo eyes had of courso caught sight of tho pretty faco In there alone, and I could sco that ho was ma king up Ids mind to Join her ; butho scorned doing it in n most careless nnd languid mannor. He wa3 no gentleman for that reason, I said to raysolf, yet his dress was handsome, and tho hand that played with his long, dark board was small and fashionably gloved. Glancing still into tho far corner of that ono first class compartment, ho lingered until tho last moment was come; then, quito leisurely, ho walked up to tho door, oponed it, entered tho carriago, and in an Instant tho door was banged to bo hind him. Without tho least hesitation I wont 'upto the window and stood near it whllo tho lamp was fitted In tho com partment. Tho gentleman was stand ing up within, drawing on a dark over coat; tho young lady in the distant corner was looking from tho window as if oven tho half-darkness wa3 better to look at than her companion. Mortified a good deal nt tho falluro of my scheme for her comfort, I went on to my van, besldo which tho detective waited for me. "No go, you see," ho muttered crossly "and yet It seemed to mo llko that they'd take this train." "I don't sco how it should seem liko- ly X I answered, fur I hadn't koho with him in tho idea. "It doesn't seem to mo very likely that threo such skillful thioves as you aro dodging, who did their work iu this neighborhood so cleverly two nights ago, should leave tlio station any night by the very train which the polico watch with doublo sus picion." "Doesn't it?'' ho echoed, with a most satirical knowingnoss. "Perhaps you haven't yet got it quito clear in your mind how they will leave the town ; for it's suro enough that they haven't left it up to uow. That they'll bo In n hurry to leavo it, is suro enough too, for this Isn't tho sort of placo they'll caro to hido in longer than necessary. Well, what's tho hardest pluco for us to track them in? Loudon. And what's tho easiest placo for them to got on sea from? London. Then naturally enough to London they'll want to go. Isn't this n fast train and shouldn't you chooso a fast train if you wero running away from the polico ?'' I didn't tell him what sort of train I should choose, becauso I hadn't quito mado up my mind ; and ho was looking ciuss enough for anything In that last glimpso I caught of him. Having nothing better to do, I won dered a good deal how theso thioves could arraugo their gottingnway whllo tho walls wero covered with tho descrip tion of them, and overy official on tho lino was up in It. Thoro was no doubt about their being threo very doxterous knaves, but then our dotectlyo forco was very dexterous too, though they weren't knaves (and I do beliovo the greater doxtority Is not on tho knavish sldo) and so It was odd Hint tho descrip tion still was Iticffeetivo and tho ollercd rownrd uucliiimed. I road over again tho bill in my pocket which described tho robbers. "Edward Capon, alias Captain Winter, alias Dr. Crow; a thick set, actlvo man, of mlddlo height, and about fifty years of ago; witli thick iron-grey hair nnd whiskers, dark gray oye3 and nn nquillno noso. Mary Ca pon, his wife, a tall woman of forty, with n handsomo fair uco, u quantity of vory red hair, nnd a cut ncro her up- por lip. Edward Capon, their sun, a slight youth of not moro than llftoon or sixteen, though, for tho matter of that, I thought ho might havo had cunning enough for. twice his ngo, with clo3ely cut black hair, light gray eye, nnd del- lcato features." Wo all know this description well cuough, nnd for two days had kopt our cyo3 open, hoping to identify thorn nmong tho passeugcrs. But our scruti ny had all been lu vain, nud as tho train rushed ou, I felt how disappointed tho pollcoat Euaton would bo when wo ur rived ngaln without oven tlding3 of them. I was hoou tired of this subject, and went back to worrying myself nbotit tho sad looking, yellow haired girl, who had bo ovldontly wished to truvolnhjno nnd been so successfully foiled lu tho at tempt by that Intrusive fop with tho lmndsomo heard. Foolishly I kopt on thinking of her, until, in wo wero dash lag almost llko lightnlug through tho wind nnd ityrkucss, only fifteen or twenty minutes from Chalk Farm, tho boll lu my van rang nut with n sharp nnd sudden summons. I uovcr won dorcd for u moment who hud pullod tho cord. Instinctively I know, nnd It wna tho carriago farthest from my van I I loft my pluco almost breathless. Iy ns tho engine slackened spood, and, hastcnliignlongthofoothanrd, hcsltntod 1872. (JOL. nt no window until I reached tho ono from which I folt quito suro that a frightened young faco would bo looking out. My heart literally boat in dread as I slopped nnd looked Into tho carri ago. What did I sco? Only tho two passengors burled in their soparato cor ners. Tho young laiiy raised her head from tho book sho hold, and looked up at mo nstonlshcd childishly nnd won dcrlngly astonished. "Has anything happened to tho train ?" Sho nsked, timidly. Tho gentleman roused himself lei surely from n seemingly snug nap. "What on earth has stopped us in this holo?" ho said, rising, nnd pushing his lmndsomo faco nnd Ills long beard past mo at tho window. It was only too ovidont that tho alarm had not coino from this carriago ; yet tho feeling had becti such a certainty to mo that it was long beforo I felt quite convinced to tho contrary, and I wont on nlong tho footboard to tho other enr rlagcs very much moro slowly than I had gono first to that ono. Utter dark ness surrounded us outside, but from tho litmplit compartments eager heads wero thrust, searching for the reason of tills unexpected stoppage. No ono owned to having summoned mo until I reached that second class carriago near my own van (which I had hastened past before) where tho fidgety, deaf old lady who had amused mo at Rugby sat alono. I had no need to look in and question her. Her head was quito out of tlio window, and, though sho hud her back lo the light, and I couldn't seo hor face, her voico was cool enough to show that sho was not overpowered by fear. "What n timo you'vo boon coming," sho said. "Whorois it?" "Where's what?" But though I yelled thoqucslion witli all my might nnd main, I beliovo I mlghtjustns'hopefully havo questioned tho telegraph post which I could dimly sco bo3ido us, and hnvo expected an answer along tho wires. "Whcio's tho small luncheon basket?" sho inquired, pulling out her longpurso with great fus3incs3. "Asmall luncheon basket, my good man and mako haste." Shall I over foiget tho sharp expect ancy of tho old lady's eyes as they looked into mine, first over, then under, then through her glittering, goid-rlm-mod spectacles? What surprised mo most particularly was tho fact of her not being, as nny ono might suppose, a raving maniac. "Bo quick with tho small luncheon basket, please," sho said, rjlgnedly sit ting down, and pouring tlio contents of her purso out into her lap, "I'm us hun gry as I can be," I saw that when sho looked up at mo from tho silver sho was counting sho saw my utter bowlldcrnient I didn't try.now to mnko hor lionr, for I Know it to bo hopeless for sho raised her voico suddenly to n shrill pitch of peevish ness, and pointed with ono shaking hand to tho wall of tho carriage. "Look hero! Doesn't it say "Small luncheon baskets. Pull down tho cord?' I want a small luncheon basket, so pull down tho cord. Mako haste, nnd get it for mo, or I'll report you to tho man- ;er. Seeing now that sho was almost as blind as eho was deaf, I began to under stand what sho meant. On the spot to which sho pointed above tlio seat oppo site her, two papers wero posted In n lino; ono tho ndverllsemet of "Smnll luncheon baskets" supplied at Rugby, tho other, tho Company's directions for summoning tho guard and stopping tho train in casc3 of danger. As thoy hap pened to bo placed, tho largo letters did read as sho had said : "SMALL LUNCHEON 11ASKETS PULL. DOWN THE CORD." Whllo 1 was gazing from her to tho bills, getting over n bit of my astonish incut, and sho was giving mo every now and then n sharp touch on tho shoulder to recall mo to my duty, nud hasten mo witli hor refreshment, wo wero joined by ono of tho Directors who happened to bo going up lo town by tho express. But his just and natural wrath loud as it was nover moved tho hungry old lady ; no, not In tho slightest degroe. Sho nover heard ono word of It ; and only mildly insisted, In tho midst of It, that sho was almost tirod of waiting for her small luncheon bask et. With a fie'reo pertlngsliot, tho Direc tor tried to mnke iter understand that sho had incurred a penalty of C, but ho couldn't, though ho bawled it at her until tho poor old thing perhaps mor tified nt having takou so much troublo for nothing ; perhaps overcome by her hutigcr; perhaps frlghtoucdof tho com motion sho saw though sho didn't hear sank back lu her scat Iu a strong tit of hysteric and lot tho shillings nnd sixpences roll out of her lnp nnd settle under tho scats. It scorned to moa long timo beforo wo started ou ngaln, but I supposo it was .only n six or seven minutes delay after all. I expect I should havo waited to explain tho stoppage to tho pretty young girl of whom I considered mysolf nsort of protector; but, ns I said, sho was nt tho vory opposite end of tho train, nnd I wns in husto uow. Thoro must havo been n good laugh In soveral of the car riages where tho cnuso of our stoppngo got whispered about. As for me, when I got back into my vun, solitary na it was.I chuckled over it until wo stopped nt Uliulk Farm to tnko tickots. It bceineil to ino that tho train was taken into custody ns soon us II stopped hero. "Of courso you havo tho carriago dours all locked, nnd I'll go down with you while you open thorn ono by ono, My men nro in possession of thu plat form1." Thl3 was said to mo by Davl3, n do tectlvo officer whom I know pretty well by now. lmvlug had it good bit to do with him about tlio Warwickshire rob bory. "It was no use," I said, beforo wo started, "tho train was sturehed, as you may Buy, at Rugby. Every passenger has uiulorgouo u closo scrutiny, I can toll you. What causes such sclctitlflo preparation for us horo?" "A telegram rocolvod ton minutes ngoV'ho nuswored. "It seems that two v i,'t' DEM. - VOL.

Havo you noticed" ho dropped his voico n littlo hero "a young lady and gentleman togothor In ellhor carriage?" I felt n bit of nn odd catching in my breath ns ho spoke. "No," I said, quito Inn hurry. "No young lady nnd gon llcmnn belonging together; but thcro may bo plenty In tho train. What if there are. though? Thcro was no young lady orgcutlemun among tho robbers I" "Among tho robbers," rejoined Davis with suppressed enjoyment, "was n woman who'd mako hersolf Into any tiling ; and you must own thnt n gentle man with n dark, long benrd isn't bad for n lady known to us protty well by her thick red hair, and n cut on her un der Hp." "But tho young lady?" I asked, cogitating this. "Ah I tho young lady. Truo enough ; well what shall you say, if I told you sho grow out of that boy with tho closo ly cut, dark hair that wo'ro after." I remembered tho pretty plaits, nnd tho looso falling hair. I remembered tho bowlledrment In tho oyes which entirely hid their natural expression, nnd I didn't answer this at all. "I wish I had u good chanco of catch ing tho old fellow ns I have of catching tho woman nnd boy," continued Davis, as we moved slowly past tho locket bag gago van. "I know they're hero, and that I shall recognizo them under any dlsgulso; but we'vo no duo yet to tho othorrascal. It's mo3taggravatIngthat, by somo means, wo'vo lost sight of tho biggest rogue of all. Como along." I did como along ; feeling very stu pidly ghul that there wns all tho train lo search beforo wo could reach that carriago at tho other end, whcro sat tho girl whom I had, iu n way, taken under my protection. "When nro wo to be allowed to leave tilts train, pray? Cull mo a cab," cried tlio deaf old lady, plaintively, as wo reached her carriage, and found her gazing out iu tlio most ovidont and utter Ignoranco of all that was going on around her. "I am locked in, Ga'ad. Do you hoar ?" I heard ; ny, sharp enough. I only wished sho could hear me a3 readily. Davis stood aside wntchlng whilo I un locked her door and helped her down. Then seeing her helplessness, nnd her countless packages, ho beckoned a por ter to hor, winking expressively to call his attention to a probablo shilling. Carriago after carriago wo cxamiued, nnd though Davis detected no thief, ho turned away only more and moro hope fully from each. Ho was now suro they were thoro, and that cscapo was Impossi ble. Wo reached tho last carriago In the line, nnd now my heart bent In tho od dest manner possible. "Is this compartment empty, then ?" asked Davis, whilo my fingers wero actually shaking, as I put my key in tho door of tho centra ono. "Empty and dark ?" "Even if it had been empty it wouldn't havo boon left dark," I mut tered, looking in. "Hollo 1 what's como to tho lamp ?" I might as well ask what was como to tho lamp, for tho compartment was as dark as If It had nover been lighted ; yet had not I myselfstood and watched tho lighted lamp put in at Rugby ? And tho carriage was empty too I "Why was this?" asked the detec tive, turning sharply upon mo. "Why was not tho lamp lighted?" But tho lamp was lighted, and burn ing now as sensibly as tho others if we could but have seen it. As we soon dis covered, the glass wi3 covered by a kind of tarpaulin, intensely black and strongly adhesive, and tho carriago was ns completely dark as if no lamp had been thero at nil. Tho perplexity in Davis' faco was ns great ns my own, when I told him who had traveled here. "Thoy couldn't havo loft tho train here, nt any'rnto," ho said ; and Tknow that as well as ho did. But you havo guessed tho end. Dur ing thoso few minutes that wo stopped on tho line, tho two thlovos darkening tho lamp even after Iliad left thom, and using their own key had loft tho carriago under cover of tho durkness, managing their escapo in thoir black dresses out into tho blackness of tho night as they had managed their theft aud subsequent concealment. But how could thoy have depended on this un usual delay this exquisite opportunity given thorn In tho uttor darkuces, closo to tho city, yot at no station ? When I officially mado my deposition, and ex plained tho cause of our8toppago,somo- thing of tho truth seemod to break upon us nil ; but it wasn't for a good whilo thai it settled into n certainty. Then it got clear to everybody thnt tho older scoundrel had duped us moro Iugcnlous ly thnti tho younger ones. As tho in capnblo old lady, deaf as nstono,nnd bo blind that eho had to peor through hor glittering glasses, with oyes half closed, and bo hungry Unit eho had to stop tho train for n luncheon baskot,ho had play ed upon us tho neatest trick of all Whcro on earth wero tho thick Iron- groy hair nnd whiskers by which wo wero to havo identified him? But by tho timo tho polico saw tho wholo thing clearly it was too lato to follow up nny cluo to him. Tho cab which had taken tho eccontric old lady and her parccU nnd flowers from Eustoti was lost in tho city, and could not bo tracked. A high rownrd was offered for luformatiou, but uo ono over won R. My firm belief is that It was no legitimately licensed cab ntnll but one belonging to tho gang.Jaud part of tho mushed fraud. I verily bollovo. too, that somotlrao3 now though per haps on the other sldo of tho cbaunol thoso threo practiced knaves enjoy a hcarly laugh over that Decouibor Jour ney by night oxpress. Davis still assures mo, with tho meat cheerful confidence thnt ho shall yet havo tho pleasure somo day of trapping threo of tho most ox port and skilful thieves in Britain. I wish I felt us suro of It. RATES OF A"nvi?T?TrSTNG. Ono Inch, (twolYO tltiM or It, equivalent In Nonpareil tynojone or two Insertion, fUO threo lnsci lions, tiw Hl'ACl.. 1st. 2)t. 3lt. liu, IY.
