THE WICKED WIDOW. I m in the Northwestern express go ing to Liverpool en route to New York, t which latter place I had important business to transact en behalf of taj employers, a large and influential firm of solicitors in London. Just before the train started from Euston lad was handed into the compartment by the obliging guard, who doubtless savr ft tip at the end of the journey. No body else got in and we started. Being only human I couldn't help stealing a glance at my companion, and the first glance only made me anxious to take another. Klie was a widow, or at any rate she was dressed as one ac cording to our modern fashion, and al though she had hor veil down it struck me that her features wore prepossessing, and I felt inclined to attempt a conver sation, bo with my hand' on the window strap I said : Would yon like the window up, madam T Sitting as you are you eatch the draught." "Oh, thank you, sir, I would," and I thought her voice angelic and felt that I should make a fool of myself, when she put up her veil, and I caught sight of her eyes, whioh were large and of a beautiful dark brown shade. I was al ways very partial to nice eves, espec ially brown ones. I concluded to say something more if I got snubbed for my trouble. But I must say I didn't much fear this, ns I thought she didn't seem at all averse to a conversation ; so, feeling like a man does just before plunging into cold water, I said : " I trust, madam, you will not think me ill-mannered if I venture to ask if you are going the wholo journey ? I know most ladies have a great aversion to speaking to a man without a formal introduction, but I think myself that is a barbarous custom and quite unneces sary." " I agree with you, sir. I soe no harm at all iu our speaking. In fact, I think it much moro sensible than sitting like rnutes all the way to Liverpool. You ask if I am going the whole jour ney. Yes, I am, and hope to go on to New York by to-morrow'B boat if I can manage it." "If you can manage it," I repeated. "May I ask what is likely to prevent jou?" "Well, sir," she replied; "it seems Strange to tell a perfect stranger of my affairs, but I feel I must talk to some body of my troubles, so if you would care to listen 1 will give you an account of my unfortunate position." Being a man of the world I ought to have been put on my guard by this, but those eyes quite blinded my sense of perception, and I said I should feel honored by hor confidence, and I should Is happy to render any assistance in my power. " Well, sir, I have only been married Bix months, and lost my dear husband three days ago. In our case the old adage that 'the course of true love never runs smooth' was quite true, as by our marriage he offended his father and I became cstrauged from my mother. We met at New York, where he was spending a few weeks' holiday. Ho came to our house several times, and when it was time for him to go back to England ho asked mo to go with him as his wife ; and as I knew he loved nie and I loved hiin, 1 consented. My mother was very angry, and said sho never wanted to see me again. Harold telegraphed to his father to say ho was just starting for home and was bringing back a wife with him, and to make matters worse for us his father telegraphed in reply that he wouldn't receive any wifo, and made an allusion to a 'penniless American girl,' and we might both go to the dogs for all he cared. "On arriving at Liverpool we took apartments there, and my husband went on to London to see his father and pre pare the way for my coming. He soon returned, and said his father was de termined not to reoeive ua, and he had also stopped my husband's allowance, bo we had nothing to live on beyond the money we had with us, and that wasn't much. For some weeks Harold tried to obtain employment, but was unsuccessful, as he had mo practical knowledge of commercial matters ; and then, to crown all our troubles, he caught a chill and was laid up with rheumatic fever. I nursed him for four months, and then he was taken from me. Before he died he made mo prom ise to bury him in the churchyard of the choroh we were married at in Amer ica, and of course I promised to fulfil his wish, although I hadn't the slight est idea how I was going to do it, see ing I had but 30 left and several debts outstanding. After his death I thought the matter over and decided that the only thing I could do was to go and see his father. I had written several times and acquainted him with his son's con dition, but my lotters had not boon an swered. Yesterday I went to London and Baw him. He was very cold and reserved, and when I told him of his eon's death he merely suid he was sorry to hear it, but that we had only our selves to blame. I kept my tempor as well as possible, told him of Harold's wish to be buried in Now York and Asked him if he would advauce me the money necessary for transferring tho body. I told hira I didn't ask anything for myself, oh I could work for my liv ing when I got back to Aiuorieu. At first he refused to entertain the idea, but I reiisonod with him as well as I nould, and finally he promised to think the matter over, and if ho rolonted would send mo tho money by the night's post. With that I had to bo contented, and am now going back to Liverpool. If he doesn't soud mo the money I don't know whut I oan do, and it breuka my heart to think I can't fulfil my last promise to poor Harold ;" and here she gave a little sob. And now, dear reader, I auk you to put yourself in my place and consider the matter. Would you not feel in clined, after hearing such a aad story, and told by such a charming woman, to throw Mr. Weller's advice, or anybody else's for the matter of that, to tho four winds T For my part, I felt inclined to offer myself and possessions then and there, but for the time I contented my self with condeling with hor in hor trouble, and telling her to hope for the best, as doubtless the father's heart would relent and she would find a check on her arrival in Liverpool. If not, I said, why, strangers as we are. I shall be happy to lond you any assist ance you way require, either monetary or otherwise I am going to New York myself by to-morrow's boat, and if you will truet me I will settle the whole busisess for you. Suoh a promiso as yonrs should be kept at any cost. Hhe thanked me very sweetly, and soon after we arrived at Liverpool. I axkod permission to escort her to her house, which was readily granted. Ar riving there she askod if I would go in and see if tkore was a lettor, an invi tation I gladly accepted. No, thero was no letter, and I thought she was iroing to break down completely ; but I did my best to comfort her, and said if fhe would allow mo I would make all arrangements for her passago, and we could talk the matter over on board. At first she said sue didn't think sho could acept such kiudness from a stranger, but finally agreed to it. Be fore I went sho took me into an ad joining room, and showed mo the cof fin with its one solitary cross of flowers placed thero by herself. On the plate was simply "Harold Meredith," with the date of his death. It was early in the afternoon when I left her armed with the certificate of death and other necessary papers. In tho evening I called again to say I had mado arrange uiouU, that the coQiu would bo culled for early in the morning and I promised to call for her about 3 o'clock iu tho afternoon, tho boat starting at 5. Uoiug across we became very friendly, so that at the end of the four days I felt my future happiness depended upon her. On arriving at Now York I took rooms for her at the hotel I intended staying at, the coffin being sent on. I promised to go the next day with her to the church and make arrangements for the funeral. My business kept mo employed until lato, so I didn't see any more of her that day. The next morn ing a waiter earns to my room to say a gentleman was below and wished to see me on important business. He did not send his name, the waiter said, "as I wouldn't know it." I told the waiter to show him up, which he did. I cer tainly did not know the man who en tered, but after tho waiter had retired he handod me his card, which informed me he was " George Morrell, Detective." "Mr. Maitlaud, I boliovo, sir,'' he said. "Yes," I replied, much surprised, and asked hiin what it meuut. He smiled and suid : "Oh 1 I havo no doubt it is all right, sir, but I want you to come down to the station with mo at once. I shouldn't ask any ques tions if I were yon, as it will only waste time, but wait and explain to tho Justice." I wus dumfounded, and ut first felt inclined to argue tho mutter and usk for his authority; but on second thought I decided to go with him, us my con science told me I could be no worse off i.t the police station. On entering the station the first per son I noticed was Mm. Meredith in tho dock. She recognized me and gave mo a bewitching smile. Tho sight of her only made matters more complicated and I didn't know what to Bay or do; but my friend, tho detective, told me to standnear tho dock, and the charge was read over to me, by which I learned that I was charged with aiding and abetting one Sarah Bentley, alias Blanche Meredith, with attempting to defraud the United States Government by smuggling into tho country goods upon which duty was chargeable When asked what answer I had to the charge, I was so surprised that I could only say I didn't understand the accu sation at all aad asked for a further explanation, and then the whole story came out It appears my charming widow was really a widow, but not of Harold Meredith. She was the widow of one George Bentloy, the head of a very clever gang, who for some years had eluded the vigilance of the New York Custom-House authorities, and since his death his widow had been in strumental is smuggling a good deal into the country. She was very clever at devices, and her latest had been to make use of a coffin which was supposed to contain the body of her husband, but in reality was full of valuablo stuff. She had somehow obtained the certificate of death which I had used to obtain the passage across, and it was one of tho gang who had disclosed the trick out of revenge for Borne petty insult ho had re ceived from his fair chief. My doteo tive friend, for my consolation, in formed me I was not the only muu sho had swindled, and when I told him the facts of the case he said he didn't think it was at all planned, but sho had sim ply made up hor story on tho spur of the moment with the viow of obtuiuing money from me. She had been arrested the evening be fore whilo attempting to leave the hotel with her " coflin." With the assistuueo of my business connections I was soon able to satisfy the Court that I was not an accomplice, and I was allowed to go after being bound over to appear as a witness. Noedless to Bay, I have not since seen my fair widow or my money, and, as I said before, I am now very careful indeed to follow Mr. Wollei's advice, to " bevare of viddors," OHpeo tally in railway trains. la the Divorce Country.

Thomas Odell, a young man of twenty-two years, living seven miles back of Greenup, Ky., has met death in a strange manner. Ho had been a puzzle to phy sicians for soveral yonrs. He was affected by what he ate to such un extent that when be indulged in buof eating about an hour afterward he would become restless and wander out in search of cuttle uud bellow us an ox, and would got down on his hands and knees and eat grokS like a cow. When he partook of mutton his actions were those of a sheep, and he would plaintively blent like a lamb. When he ate chicken he would go out and scratch for worms, which he would devour with apparent relish. Altar eating fuh he would wander to the creek and go iu swimming. One day his father killed soveral squirrels, of which the son ito heartily for dinner. Ho left tho houoo shortly after and was followed by tho father. The father saw him enter an oak grove, and Boon saw his sou jumping nimbly from limb to limb, ut the same time barking like a squirrel. Ho culled for him to come down, but this only seemed to make tho boy want to escape, and he attempted to jump from ono tree to unother, but missed and full to tho ground, a man gled, breathless mass of humanity, and expired iu less than five minutes.
