CHAPTER 1 lecame about in this way. 1 had married and was going to make my fortune, and there fore (having that laudable end in view) left a good situation In Yorkshire to settle down In Liverpool as a merchant "on my own ac count," and commence to make it without de lay. I had not much capital, and so resolved to economize at first. In course of time I imagined the tidy brougham and the: country house across the Mersey would certainly come; and one serene September (veiling, many years ago, I was walking up and down St. George's landing-staget Intl iii g castles in the air, wondering whether rents Were high, at New Brighton, and whether Kate would pre fer a pony phaeton to a. brougham. lam not sorry to add that I still reside in a modest house up Edge hill way, and that I come to business as Ciesar went to Rome, according to Joe Miller, "summit diligentia," on the top of an omnibus.

" II illo, _Brunton !" he cried, jumping from his chair. ".My lad lull me you'd- been ; where have you been theme Iwo months and tmire ?

'Filen taking the candle his clerli had brought, held it close to my face. . "If you are not disposed to proceed 'to tnisi efig, I will bid you o f night," said I, great annoyed at his manner." " It's him, and it ain't him," he said aloud ; " Owl never could look a mhh in the face as this one does. And yet I don't see my way through the features." " There is no necessity for you to trouble yourself about my features!" I exclaimed, opening the door,—"good night. Stop, stop, my good sir ! and don't be offended. It was a mistake. All Isaac's mis take, upon my honor." "All a mistake," echoed young Isaac. Mr. Moss produced a key, and turning to me with a good-natured smile, said," I'd have sworn you were Brunton five minutes ago, but lam sure now that I was wrong. Carl always swore as !meanie up stairs, and you haven't. It's Brunton's face all but the eyes, :mil I'd swe:u• to the eyes any-where. •That • is, to the twinkle or eat, you know." And lie unlocked the door and invited , me within. Walking to a table on which he had placed the light, I took IL chair, and produced toy pocket• book. • "Before we go lurthcr, Mr. Moss, let us quite understand cacti other. I hove no wish to derive any benefit any virtues Mr. Brunton may possess, and I out going to con vince yin that I ant what I represent myself to be. Be good enough to read that letter-" It was one from a merchant In the north, Only received that morning, and mentioned circumstances which were sufficient to settle any doubts as to my Identity. Mr. Moss read it, folded it up briskly, and presented it to me with a bow.. " Sir, I apologize. I confess that up to this moment I fancied it was Carl; bat what puzzled me was, that such a surly fellow should take to larking and playing the fool. You aro very much like my last tenant, sir, that is all." " Very well ; now that matter is settled, let us look at the rooms," • The lighted gas showed me a large one and very barely furnished. There was a large leather-covered table with a desk on it, four chairs, an inkstand, and a partially filled waste-paper basket, and that was all. "'Rather meagre, Mr. Moss." " Now, my dear sir, what more could you want ? Would you like a safe ? I've got one to spare down stairs and you shall have it, and a new mat for your feet,—there now,— I hate haggling." "Let me see the other room, pleaC" It was one which a person sitting at the ta ble would have right opposite to him, and it had no door. "It u•us a clerk's (Ace," Mr. Moss said, "and you wanted your eye on such chaps." I suggested that the principal might sometimes want privacy, whereupon he said "he had the door down stairs and it should be hung at once ir I wished it." But having no intention of es:gaging a clerk at present I told him it was of no consequence. • The room was abont half the Bin of the outer one, and contained a desk and stool.— There was a large closet for coals and such- like matters, and a good 'allowance of dOst and cobwebs all over. " have it cleaned up to-morrow," said Mr. Moss. "It looks beautiful when clean, and you'll find the desk to be teal Spanish mahogany." They would suit me well enough, and I told Mr. Moss so ; paid him n quarter's rent in advance, and rose to depart. " 0, by the way, Mr. Moss, I exclaimed, a sudden thought striking me ; •' I will send a man to paint my name on the door, and on the wall (low', stairs." " Very good, sir ; I would do it at once If were you. Carl WUS n loose fish,' and if you delayed it until you got here you might be an noyed." " Ilow so ? What Wati he ?" "'fake a cigar first, ;Nit..

" I didn't mean that. Have you never see,, an ugly person resemble a very handsome one ? I have many a time, Well, about Carl: he was here about two years, and call me a Jew If I could reckon him up. He used to come here about noon, and work up to eight or nine o'clock at night ; but what bus iness he worked at I could never hind out. I know he had a big ledger, and two or three such books; but a big ledger won't make business any more than a big caapet-bag will, and.he always carried one. Ile would conic and smoke a cigar with me now and then ; but I never came up here during all that time, and he kept this door locked. . He always seemed to be expecting a blow did poor Carl, more like a rat in , a Minter than anything else, poor beggar !

One or two queer-looking men have Inquired about him, and asked if he was com ing back, and I said most likely he would. and likely enough he will." " Not at all an interesting story," I thought, and I felt inclined to yawn in Mr. Moss's face ; but I thanked him for his information, and promised to take posses;iiin in three days, which I spent in presenting my letters of in troduction, and making other arrangements tin• the prosecution of my plans- At length the eventful day, arrived, and I stood in my own office, with my name em blazoned on the door and passage wall. I was waiting for a friend to cull on me (who, by the way, had promised to pot me In the way of doing sonic business that very day), and felt impatient lie his coming. in conse- quenee. The °like was cleen and tidy, and the floors find been iv ell scrubbed. Why hadn't they eininied the waste-paper basket of all that lumber 7 The office-keeper had lighted a lire, and I took up the basket to perform the operation myself ; but from some cause or other I plat. ed it on the table and began idly to born the scraps one by one- I had nearly disposed of thorn all when a scrap attracted toy attention and I rend it. It was torn so as to leave a few words intact., and it ran thus : "Louise has given your description, ant you limy rely on our finding you.

It had troubled inn before, but.on this nigh it troubled me tenfold. From childhood I have been imaginative, mid knowing this, I stirred the tire, called myself an ass, and went on witn •my letter. But not for long. My eyes wandered to the black darkness of the doorway, and I began) to ransack my memory for statistics of men who could tell by some occult power if any one were hidden in the room they entered ; and I laughed aloud when I remembered that I had read of one sensitive gentleman, who by this same occult sense hat -found that a surgeon's skeleton was in a close behind him. I own I dislike being In the dark, but I will do myself the justice to say that I have molt'• don enough to overcome the dislike. Therefore I proposed to myself to very quietly walk into the dark room which troubled me (and without a light), look ant of the wind. ows, and slowly return. I went,—the very first step beyond the thre shold dispelled my fears.

CHAPTER 11. The speaker was a mild, intelligent-looking man gf about thirty-five. In a proper dress he would have looked like a High-Churchman Ills companion was evidently a foreigner, and I imagined a German. spectacles, about fifty years of age, and wore spectacles, and wpm- fusion of beard and whiskers covered more than half Ids face. But he had a whining smile and good teeth, which he often took an opportunity of showing. " We have found you at last." I am thankful to say that I nm not !terrain when I NY a danger, and I boldly replied— " My name is Harker and not Brunton ; All.. Moss, the landlord of these premises, has no ticed my resemblance to his late tenant, and is satlalled that lam not the sane. Depend upon it that I shall make you repeat tnis,out rage." I tried M Wee to call for help from the street but the pistol was cooked and pointed at me, and Uteri; was that in the titan' : v ino which cautioned me against rasimass in my helpless position. • " I will sit down," I replied, " and hear what you have to say ; but if I choose to do I shall do my best to raise an alarm in spite of your revolver." " Veil spoke, Carl," said tho foreigner ; " Louise always say he a plucky one." "Now then, Brunton," whispered the other, " let us have no nonsense. We have not met before, it is tine, but Louise has so well described you, that putting another mono on your door was simply Idiotic. Besides one of ours luts watched for your return, and we comMunicated with hint directly we landed. Go free if you like, bul we trill hare the platrs.' "Dat's the matter rid us," echoed the Ger man ; "ve will have the plates," • "I knows nothing of any plates," I cried, " nor of Louise, nor of you. All I know k, that you will see the inside of a prison very shortly." And you think you call throw us, throw us over in this way !

They thrust a piece of rope between my teeth, compressing my windpipe to make me open my mouth ; and there I sat helpless whilst Blair turned out the Contents (rimy desk and drawers, not forgetting my cash-box, which was opened with a key taken from my waist-coat pocket, and the contents appropri ated. Knowing that the two scraps of paper I had found in the waist-paper basket, and placed in my drawer, must have reference to their visit, I watched very anxiously when they opened it. But they escaped notice, and I felt that I Lai got some clew to the mystery, even if these men escaped ; and I had quite determined that they should not escape, for I was insecurely bound, and had been working hard to get my right hand free, and, thanks to having a very narrow one, I now found myself able to slip it through the loop which encircled the wrist; but I "bided my time," for I saw that a false move might bring a bul let through my heed.

The Baron removed it, and while il4ting so I resolved on a plan of operations. " You will marry Louise and kivs us the plates''" "I will give you every satisfaction." " That is business," said Louis Orloff, cent- forward. " First the plates. Then you re- turn with us to New York, and keep your promise to Louise. Why give us this trou ble! I tell you frankly that the expense wiH be deducted front your share, and that you . will be strictly watched.in future. I should have out your throat but for my promise to Louise. Now, where are the platen 9" " Look in the closet in the next mond; rake out the coals and take what you Find."' " Good. Come, Baron." And they left me to operaM on the coals. Springing up, I seized the revolver, darted 40 the door, and in a moment had locked theta In. But my triumpe was of short duration ; fOr Orloff was on the other side like lightning, the rotten woodwork tore out under his vig orous wrench, and his hand was on my throat before I could grope my way to the stairs. Then I knew that Bib depended on the struggle, and I fought like one possessed tin. the revolver. The Baron came to his friend's ltelp ; but I found time and opportunity to send him reeling to the ground. Orloff was the weaker man, butt lie outdid me in skill ; and a dexterous feint threw Inc off my guard, leavingithe revolver in his hands. tigible with passion, he tired instiuttly, and ferit t slutrp sting in my. left shoulder ; and then all earthly thlngs seemed to be fading away, and a workilkheyoud opening to view. When I recoveaed, I found myself laid on a mattress on the office table, aad my Wife tearfully bending over me. There was a calni-faced surgeon, too, who showed me • the bull he had extracted, and told ate to cheer up, for I should be better hi a few days, for no damage was done. Mr. Moss was there, ton, and came to my bed—l mean my Wits side, and whispered how he had been called up by the police,who, hearing a pistol shot, had come up stairs, and arrested Orloff and the Baron, and, finding me on the ground bleeding, had sent for a surgeon and my wile, having foam! my private address front a letter in my pocket. I was only faint from loss of blood ; the bullet did little. dantags, and I preferred get; tiug up, and then gave an account of the eve ning's adventucc, not noticing at the time that a tall inspector of police was in the room.

"Call me a Jew If It ain't I" exclaimed Mr. Moss, taking it. " Yes, it is certainly a plan of your office. See, here is a doorway, and there comes the other room. Then there is a cress against the fireplace in this room, on what I judge from the lines to mean the fourth board from the hearthstone, and another cross against the sixth from the hearthstone in the other room. Get:a crowbar, Mr. Moss." ' "There's one down stairs." I do believe that if you'd asked for a croco dile he would have got one " down stairs." Crowbar and a policeman to wield it "were soon produced, and then the mystery was u'i ravelled. Close to when I sat were unearthed several copper plates for the forging of Russian rouble notes.of various amounts ; and in the back room, under the flooring, were found several hundreds of well.executed forgeries carefully soldered up In a tin case, together with cor respondence implicating Orloff and the Baron. It appeared that Brunton was engaged by a New York gang to engrave the plates, and that lw had never seen his employers, the agent between them being the Louise before mentioned, whose fair hand I had item cont. indica It) decline. Brunton had evidently be xonte- frightened and had fled. lie was no traitor, or he would have decamped with the plates. Perhaps the dread of having to espouse Louise may have had to do with his flight. She was it very handsome woman, it I may judge from a photograph of her found in the tin case, but hooked like one accustomed to rule, and who would not hesitate to adminis- ter wholesoine'correetion to hee spouse Assisted into a carriage which was waiting, I had Ilw satisfaction of seeing the Baron and Orlotr brought down in handeulTs,"the Baron reganding me with a sweet smile, and oriotr scowlin g on me like a fiend. I did not prose cute, for they were so well known to the police as lOrgetin, that there was evidence enough ,to proenre it conviction and a sentence of ten , years' penal servitude ; and in due time I re- covered, and dismissed the matter from my mind. But 1 had not heard the last of it. About. twelve months after the trial and condemna tion of the Baron and his friend there came one night a timid knock at my office door, and my clerk (for I had such n. luxury then) ushered in what, at fleet sight, seemed to be a moving bundle of rags. Strictly speaking, tic bundle of rags insisted on seeing me, and ushered itself in, spite of all remonstrances. It Caine and stood before me, and resolved itself into the resemblance of a man,—a man lean, haggard, sunken.eyed, ragged, and dirty, but with a face something like my own; and without putting aquestion, I knew that I stood face to face with Carl Brunton, and I addressed the rags by that name. " I took that name," the poor, shivering thing replied, " but my name is—but no mat ter. May I speak to you ?" " Yes, go 0n. ,, " Will you give me some drink first? 1 have hod none to-day, and I feel delirious tremens coming on. 0, hole• cold it is, and how I shiver l" I sent the clerk for some brandy, which he took raw, and his shaking hand held out 11:0 glass for more. wuktgine It is ➢lr.

" You mean the forged rouble-poles and the plate you engraved them front ?" "Ah ! Who told you that ? Then you havil found them, and used them? ran away from thin, and wished to lead a better life, but they drew me back ; and now you have robbed me, and I shall starve." I explained to the poor wretch what had become of his possessions, and kow they were found, and inquired if he had not heard ante fate of I,is accomplices. "No : 1 Iluve been wanddring about the country, living in hospibils and workhouses because they haunt me down from place to place.

Lend me sixpence; I'll give you it hundred pounds, for it to•mor . I made a further donation, and, as the man was evidently in a suite or delirium, I told my clerk to fetch a medical man.

But 1 went ; and the office is still without a tenant, and I shudder when I pass through the street at night, and, looking up, see the two black shining windows like two great eyes watching me, and fancy I can see a shadowy form in rags, pressing its face to the glass, and gibbering and moving at the busy stream of human life which surges to and fro forever.
