CHAPTER II
spf , et, esteemed Sir, I remain your Anoat humble
servant, EIJINftI VAN HOMBRE,' "
"It is ell done in a proper manner," said the
Burgomaster, while carefully refolding the let
ter. "Id you hear? His Excellency, Henn
Van Hockbery." •
'He is your most humble servant," said the
Postateater
"•With the most profound respect," added Miss
Spindle
"He will seise the first opportunity," said the
Burgomaster "He is a man. Children! Hen
ri Van Hockbery is a man for all time. But be
shall also learn that I, too, am such a man.—
Huh!" exit , ' he to the man that had brought the
letter, "march: away! get out! take my humblest
acknowledgments to the unfortunate gentleman,
end tell him my carriage shall be at his dispo-
Nal in the twinkling of an eye."
"Brother! what are you thinking about?" in
quired Misa Spindle, sharply. "Our horses are
out in the field, plowing."
"What!" exclaimed the Burgomaster, "how
unfortunate Boor, run down to the host of the
Golden Cot; tell him to harness his horses; tell
him to put on his militia uniform. He shall
drite the eoseh, himself. Away! away!"
Wit Lout replying, the man hastened from the
room to fulfil his mission Rosa returned to
the window that she might give way to her
thoughts unperceived. He had oome at last,
and the joy of that th.,uglit filled her heart until
it had no room for other emotions.
"I nut understand, brother," said Miss
Spindle. "wily you sent the stranger your hum
blest acknowledgments. That was too much."
"To.) much?" repeated the Burgomaster, "is
be n ,, t 'he friend of his Excellency, Henri Van
liockbery, G. , vernor of Ouildenbery, my most
humble .ereaut?"
"T..s, but His Excellency did not even men

"Tru , true," said the.Burgotnaster, "what is
• to. done? The messenger is running at full
speed with my acknowledgements."
"I think, sister," said the Postmaster, "that
pu are mistaken. If Mr Eager, was simply
Mr Eager, His Excellency would be a simple
ton to call him his esteemed friend. Why it
wa. only yesterday that I was reading in a ro
man.... about • gentleman who traveled at least
tw.nty years unknown. And he was a king.—
No, n I believe that Mr Esg..r travels incog

"Now Rosa, make haste," said Miss Spindle.
"The damask table cloth must be laid ou the

you are Mrs. Gustavus Adolphus Pippin."

Miss Spindle instantly left the room to search

This delightful conversation was interrupted

"Good God!" cried Pippin, half wild with vex

"Forward with the children!' shouted Van

the children through the door.
"My bread and butter! my bread and butter!"
screamed the children.
"Will you shut up?" is:claimed the Burgo
master, and in the utmost court:ism they rushed
through the door.
But as Miss Spindle sonsidered it would be
impolite if s he preceded her guests, and as both
Mrs ildelniar and Mrs. Holtsitoff would not be
guilty of the impoliteness of preceding their

A LITTLE INCIDENT.—it was about half-past

SINGULAR MYSTERY AND PRZILT.—
The Cleveland Herald gives the following story
of abandonment and evasion. What it means is
not yet explained:
"A few days since, a young mother applied
for board at a reputable house on Michigan street.
--Shebrought with her a child of f"urweeks old,
and some baggage, and paid a week's board in
advance. Her story was, that her husband.
Charles Raymond, had stopped in Buffalo to sell
some property and would soon come on to this
city and engage in business. Nothing very par
titular mewed for a week to excite suspieion,
although Mrs. Raymond was though to be rather
retiring, and disposed to keep her room Day
before yesterday, in company with a fellow boar
der, Mrs. R went out to do shopping, and leav
lag her companion in a store tinder the Waverly
for o moment, said she would step to a drbggi•t
to get some medicine fur her child Tea time
came, but no Mrs. Raymond, her baby was very
soundly sleeping on the b,4,—evening brought
no mother, and no mother has tame yet. The
child slept until yesterday morning having been
under the influence of a drug, and the suspicions
are now well founded, that the intention was to
:ye it a sleep which should know ao waking.—
the morning of the absence of the mother, a
gray-haired man called fur Mrs. Raymond's lug
gage, and she said it was to go to a friend's house
on the West Side, were a visit was contempla
ted. The clothing for the child was left, howl
ever.
The question is, who is Mrs. Raymond, and
where is her husband? She is young, hot over
eighteen, and appeared like an honest, simple
country girl.
