OUR SHORT STORY THE POWER OF THE UNSEEN. CHAPTER III. (CONTINUED.) Miss Dalrymple shook her head despon- I dingly; but. still. our conversation seemed on the whole to have relieved her; and the ice being once broken I did not hesitate, as time went oil. to Question her when I thought her looking distrait or worried. It seemed, how- ever, as though the fact of having discussed the matter had put an end to her night-ter- rors, and I was' in hopes that we should hear no more about them. The pamphlets which had caught my attention on first entering i her boudoir sbe had collected, she told me. with a view of comparing their description of different trades and occupations with the work on which her dream figure wa-s employed. These I persuaded her to do away with. and. as London was becoming insufferably hot. I proposed that we should run down to the seaside for a few weeks, hoping that a change of scene would aesist me in driving away the cobwebs from the girl's mind, for now that my work seemed cut out for me I felt a cer- I tain amount of pleasure in battling with what I could not help regarding as a diseased imagination. Mr. Simcox, who looked upon his ward as a sort of white elephant, warmly seconded my wishes, and congratulated me on the influence I had acquired over my employer. When I related the means by which it had been gained, somewhat trem- blingly. for I remembered the exceedingly abrupt way in which he cut short my remarks on mediumship, etc., and I was afraid he would consider my advice to Miss Dalrymple as partaking somewhat of a belief in these things, his only remark was. "Pooh! pooh! my dear madam, say what you like and do what you like as long as you can keep the girl within the bounds of reason. Why I. who have so carefully avoided the responsibilities of married life on my own account, should have this burden thrust upon me is more than I can understand. I am only thankful the twin-sister did not manage to survive, or I should have had a pair of them on my hands, and I really do not know what I have done to deserve it." he added self-pityingly. Our stay at Brighton was pleasant and invigorating. May Dalrymple was not want- ing in physical strength and courage; indeed. her feate of swimming rather alarmed me. as I was not able to follow, and I felt like an old hen left clucking on the bank at a too ven- turesome duckling. In the afternoon she either rode or drove; and the time passed rapidly and cheerfully, with no return of the morbid attacks, whose career I too credu- lously hoped had been checked. On the day of our return lion*#- -she for the first time voluntarily alluded to our conversation on the subject. "Do scii know I am convinced that I shall; shortly meet that girl of whom I dream." "What puts that idea into your head now? Have you been dreaming of her again?" "-No, but the presentiment has been upon me all day that I shall meet her. And that I shall know her. too," she added. "Keep your imagination a little more in check," I replied laughingly. "Of course, it is our return to Landon which has brought back the old train of thought, in which you indulged too much before you went away." I suppose I was a little anxious and less guarded than I usually was in discussing this subject, for Miss Dalrymple looked up and said smilingly. "I am not frightened now; but if I get an opportunity I intend acting on your advice." We were glad to retire early after our journey. My slumbers were undisturbed for several hours; but about one o'clock in the morning the quick turning of the handle of my door aroused me. and in another second I was wide awake, for May Dalrymple was standing at my bedside. By the light of the night lamp which always burned in my room I saw that her eyes had that peculiar, dis- tended, vacant look which showed me that her mind was far away. She raised her hand, and, pointing over my shoulder, exclaimed in curious, muffled tones: "I see her! At last I see her! She is turning; ah! she looks at me. Those eyes! ah." with a wild, unearthly scream, "it is myself!" I sprang from bed, but was too late to pre- vent her from falling heavily to the floor. The noise of her fall and her scream brought Dawkins to my assistance, and. having as briefly a-s possible explained that her mistress had walked in her sleep and become alarmed, I managed, with her aid, to carry Miss Dal- rymple back to her own bed. for I judged it better that she should on recovering con- sciousness find herself there. It was some time before the restoratives we used were effectual. By-and-bye, however, her eyes opened, and, without completely rousing, she turned over on her side, and I soon saw by turned over on her side, and I soon saw by her even breathing that she was asleep. When morning dawned I crept back into my room, feeling completely exhausted, and the sun was shining high in the heavens before I made my appearance in the breakfast-room. Miss Dalrymple had already breakfasted, and she cut short my apologies by saying: "I want to talk to you, so make haste with your break- fast. like a good creature, and come and sit here." My appetite under the circumstances was very easily appeased. I was curious to hear her account of the past night, and to dis- cover whether she had any recollection of her visit to my room. Such was evidently not the case, for she began by saying: "Do you recollect what I told you yesterday of a pre- sentiment I had?" I nodded assent, and she continued: "Last night I must have travelled a long way in my dreams, for I saw her, the girl of whom I have told you. It seemed to me that I was walking alone down a narrow street in an un- known neighbourhood, when, as I passed the door of a building in a row of houses some im- pulse prompted me to turn the handle and walk in. I entered a passage, and, going into the first room I came to, I found myself among a number of girls, all more or less degraded looking, and evidentfy very poor. The room had been enlarged by knocking down a par- tition between two adjoining ones. The atmosphere was indescribably close. When I entered a discussion was going on, apparently about the rate of payment, for one girl at the end nearest me said: 'Here we may toil and slave and yet barely earn vittels to keep us from clemming, and I verily believe that the "dumb 'un" here cares less than nowt if she clemms or no.' "My eyes travelled on, and I saw the girl who had been apostrophised as the 'dumb 'un.' In an instant I recognised her figure, for as yet her face was turned away, but as the sense of her companion's words reached Tier she turned; and how can I make you believe me when I say that in the girl I recognised not only a likenega, to me, but myself, my very self, as I now sit before you. but with such a. despairing look in the eyes which seemed to say, 'Too late! too. lateOb, 1 ifs Fisher." exclaimed the excited girl, "vhat ies it mean?" A way went all my faith in sea breezes, hange of air, cheerful employment; cri- ;sntly. the malady was too deeply rooted to ,ive way to such mild treatment. What conltf L do? If matters continued as they were, I oegan to think that even the old drudgery A'oujd be better. If the days were spent over Lhe three R's, at least my night's rest was secure from interruptions of last night's des- cription. which to a person of my age and habits was a shock not easily forgotten.. I determined to pay Mr. Simcox a visit, and as gently as possible to intimate that the high determined to pay Mr. Simcox a visit, and as gently as possible to intimate that the high pressure at which I was living did not agree with my health, and that I should prefer resigning my appointment. Accordingly in. the afternoon, when Miss Dalrymple had started on one of her perambulations, I bent my steps towards Gray's Inn, taking an omnibus at the Marble Arch. which set me down within a short distance of my destina- tion. The old lawyer was not much pleased on hearing my errand, and begged me to re- consider my decision, adding many compli- mentary remarks about my conduct and management since my residence at Porchester terrace. "-Now tell mc," he said. "what all this non sense is about that the girl is turning thf house upside down for. What does she think she sees, and where does she see it? Upon my word." he grumbled, "a pretty state of things I am come to. that at my age I should have to listen to the hysterical ravings of ar moonstruck girl I gave as lucid an account as I could o Miss Dalrj^fiple's dreams, and was surprised to notice that when I came to the deec-rip. tion of the locality which she had hut dreamt of Mr. Simcox appeared strangely moved making me repeat my words once or twice. "Extraordinary coincidence," he muttered "Nothing more, of course," looking at mf over his spectacles. "Of course, it can bf nothing more." he repeated, glaring angrily at me. as though I had been the cause of hit annoyance, and striding up and down the room. I made no reply. He was evidently follow ( ing a train of thought which my recital had called uP. and until he chose to take me into his confidence I did not feel called upon to offer an opinion. By-and-bye, having got rid of hia superfluous energy, he seated him? self, and. although with evident reluctance explained the cause of his uneasiness. It appeared that he had a brother who owned large workshops in the East-end of London, employing many hands in wood-chopping and various other trades utterly unknown to West-enders. but which keep the retail trades supplied at low prices by grinding down the wages of the "hands" to the lowest possible pitch. Mr. Simcox did not attempt to palliate his brother's conduct, or to hide his disap- proval of it. but he went on to say that lately his nephew, a young fellow of five or six and twenty, had been causing his father some anxiefy on account of the great admira- tion he openly showed for one of the girls employed at the workshops, and. although he declared that the attraction went no further, his father, who had ambitious views, and was in constant terror of having an unwelcome daughter-in-law forced upon him. had begged Mr. Simcox to speak seriously to the culprit on the subject. With, this object in view the uncle had taken his way down to the work* shops, intending to catch his nephew as he returned from business, and the fact which bad struck him as so extraordinary was that, the street and building described by Miss Dalrymple were identical with the place he had gone to only the day before in his charac- i tcr of mentor. Seeing that he expected me to say something I inquired whether it would not be a good thing to take his ward to the place, leaving the result to take care of itself. "Quite impossible, my dear madam, quite impossible. What! do you imagine that I shall let the girl think I am as great a fool as herself?" I ventured to say, being angry at his awn- mary dismissal of my proposal, that I did not think that Miss Dalrymple's opinion of him had much to do with it. Our principal object ought to be to assist her. if possible, in shaking off the incubus, whether imaginary or real, which so seriously weighed upon her, and, however unusual and ridiculous it might appear to allow a coincidence, such as he had mentioned, to guide one's actions, I still thought that my proposal was the beat that, under the circumstances, we could act upon. If it failed in any good results we should only be where we were before, with, however. the satisfaction of knowing that we had done our 'best to help her. The somewhat long harangue in which I had indulged so far convinced the old lawyer that he consented for once to lay aside his rule of three principles, and to admit a little of the substance of the unseen, if such a. term be permissible, to rule his actions. We then arranged that be should call at Porchester- terrace at noon on the next day, and that at luncheon, to which he always remained after a morning's business call, he should propose a visit to his brother's workshops, not, of course, alluding in any way either to my visit to him or to the fact of the resemblance between the scene in her dream and the place to which he proposed taking his ward.

TIME'S CHANGES. Miss C. was born only two years earlier than her brother Tom. When Tom was ten years old she gloried because she was twelve; when Tom was known to be fourteen she confessed to sweet sixteen; when Tom proudly boasted of eighteen she timidly acknowledged herself past nineteen; when Tom came home from college with a moustache and a vote. and had a party in honaur of his twenty-first birthday, she said to her friends, "What a boyish fellow, he is! Who would think that he was only a year younger than I When Tom declared he was 25, and old enough to get married, she said to an inti- mate friend, "Do you know, I feel savagely jealous to think of Tom getting married. But. then. I suppose twins are always more attached to each other than other brothers a,nd sisters." And two years later, at Tom's wedding, she said, with girlish vivacity, to the wedding guests: "Dear old Tom. to see him married to- night, and then to think how, when he was only five years old. they brought him to see me. his baby sister! I wonder if he thinka of it to-day."

A FRIGHTFUL BLUNDER. A divinity student in needy circumstances had his dinners once or twice a week, free of ccat, at the house of a respectable artisan. On one exceptional occasion he was invited to supper, as it was intended to celebrate the birthday of his host with a rice pudding and a bottle of wine. When they were all seated at the table, the housewife snuffed out the candle by mistake, and went into the kitchen to light it again. It was pitch <i&rk in the room, and the poot student, with the bottle before him. coataio. ing a beverage which so rarely passed hit lips. could not resist the ten^jtin^ oppor- tunity; he seized, carefully uncorked it, toot a good pull, and quietly set it down again Directly afterwards the 'housewife came in with the candle; every face wore a look or astonishment, and the poor student turned pale; he had placed the bottle in the cLe- containing the rice pnddingi
