It was centrally minute. as such places should - 7 r r 7 W vâ€"-<v* ~--v-c>v' Walking along the lane at dusk the stranger was struck by two or three peculiar features therein. One was an Intermittent rumbling from the back premises of the inn half-way up; this meant a. skittle alley. Another was the extensive prevalence of whistling in the various domicilesâ€"a piped note of some kind coming from nearly every open door. Another was the frequency of white aprons over dingy gowns among the women around the doorways. Yet amid so much that was bad, needy respectability also found a home. Under some of the roofs abode pure and virtuous souls. whose presence there was due to the iron hand of ne- cessity. and to that alone. Mixen Lane was the Adullam of all the surrounding villages. It was the hidingâ€"place of those who were in disâ€" tress, and in debt, and in trouble of every kind. Farm labourers and oth- er peasants, who combined a little poaching with their tanning, and alit- tie brawling and bibhing with their poaching, found themselves sooner or later in Mixen Lane. Rural mechan- ics too idle to mechanise, rural ser- vants too rebellious to serve. drifted or were forced into Mixen Lane. Yet this mildewed leaf in the sturdy and flourishing Casterhridge plant lay close to the open country; not a hund- red yards frmn a row of noble elms. and commanding a. view across the moor of airy uplands and cornfields, and manâ€" sions of the great. A brook divided the moor from the tenements, and to outward View there was no way across itâ€"no way to the houses but round about by the road. But under every householder’s stairs there was kept a mysterious plank nine inches wide; whtchglauknvas a secret bridge h Coming into the' light at the bridge which stood at the end of High Street, he beheld lounging thereon Mother Cuxsom and Nance Mockrldge. " We be just going down Mixen Lane way, to look into Saint Peter’s Finger afore creeping to had," said Mrs Cuxâ€" 50cm. "There's a fiddle and tambour- ine going on there. Lord. what’s all the worldâ€"do ye come along too, Jopp â€"'§won’}; hinder_ye_ five‘ minutes." Jopp had mostly kept himself out of this company. but present circumâ€" stances made him somewhat more reckâ€" less than usual, and without many words he decided to go to his destina- tiqr’x» that_way. J opp knew there had been something of the nature of wooing between Hen- chard and the now Mrs. Farfrae: and his vague ideas on the subject narrow- ed themselves down to these; Hench- ard had a. parcel belonging to Mrs. Farfrae, and he had reasons for not re- turning that parcel to her in person. What could be inside it? So he went on and on till, animated by resentment at Lucetta's haughtiness. as he thought it, and curiosity to iearn If there were any weak .sides to this transaction with Henchard, he examined the package. The pen and all its relations being awkâ€" wtard tools in Henchard's hands, he had a fixed the seals without an impres- sion, it never occurring to him that the efficacy of such a fastening depended on this. Jopp was far less of a tyre; he'lifted one of the seals with his pen- knife, peeped in at the. end thus opened, saw that the bundle consisted of let- ters; and, having satisfied himself thus far, sealed up the end again by simâ€" ply softening the wax with the candle. and went off with the parcel as reâ€" quested. "I think, ma'am, that a. word from you would secure for me what I cov- ot very much." he persisted. She steadily refused to have anything to do with the affair, and, because of her anxiety to get indoors before her husband should miss her. left him on the pavement. " It is a. thing 1 know nothing said Lucetta. coldly. "Blitz you can testify to my trust- worthiness better than anybody, maf- am,” said Jopp. “I was in Jersey sevâ€" eral years, and knew you there by sight." " Indeed.” she nothing of you." He watched her till she had vanished. And then went home. When he got there he sat down in the fireless chim- ney comer looking at the iron dogs. A movement upstairs disturbed him. and Henchard came down from his bedâ€" room. where he seemed to have been rummaging boxes. He handed a package in brown paper. sealed. Henchard had been as good as his word. " There never will be in Caster- bridge." declared Henchard decisively, " You must roam farther afield." He then returned to his own part of the house. CHAPTER XXXVI. Ratur'ning from her appointment Luâ€" cotta saw a man waiting by the lamp nearest to her own door. When she Itooped to go in he came and spoke to her. It was Jopp. He begged her pardon for address- ing her. But he had heard that Mr. Farfrae had been applied to by a. neigh- bouring cornâ€"merchant to recommend a. w0rking partner; if so, he wished to offer himself. He could give good security. and had stated as much to Mr. Fatima in a letter; but he would feel much obliged if Lucetta. would say 3 word in his favour to her husband. " I wish," said Henchard, "you would do me a service Jopp, now, toâ€"night, I mean, it you can. Leave this at Mrs. Farfrae's for her. I should take it myâ€" self. of course. but I don’t wish to be seen there." " \Vell, how have ye got on toâ€"day ?” his ledger asked. " Any prospect of an opening 3" 7"I am afraid not," said Jopp. who had not told the other of his applica- tion to Farfrae. replied. " But IkneW GOOD about," trust- “Not in particular,” said. Char]. "There’s a. river afore ye." "[ don't careâ€"hare‘s for through it," said the man in the mom. “I've had travelling enough for to-day.” ‘ “Stop a. minute; then." said Char], finding that the; man was no enemy. “Joe, bring the Iank and lantern; here’s souncbody t at’s lost his way. You. should have kept along the turn- pike road, friend, and not have erook across here." "I shouldâ€"as I see now. But I saw a. light here, and says I to myself, that’s a short out, depend on’t.” ‘7‘[ say, what a good foundation for a skimmityâ€"ride,” said Nance, “True,” said Mrs. Cuxsom reflecting. " ’Tis as good a ground for a skimmiâ€" tyâ€"ride as ever I knowed; and it ought not to be wasted The last one seen in Castarbrldge must have been ten years ago, if a day.” A'i; thxs momsnt there wasa shrill whistle, and the lamdlady said to thc man who had been called Charl, “"l‘js Jim coming in. \Vould ya go and let down the bridge for 111-9?” \Viythout néplying Charl and his coun- rade, Joe rose, and receirving a lantern from hher wenL our at the back door and down the garden-path, which end- ed abruptly at the edge of the stream already mentioned. They asked him if he had had much luck. “Not much,” he said indifferently; "All safe inside?" Receiving a reply in the affirmative, ho went on inwards, The others with- drawing the bridge and beginning to retreat in his rear. Before, however, Lhay had entered the house a cry of "Ahoy" from the moor led them to pause. The cry was repeated. They pushed the lantern into an outâ€"house, and went, back to the brink of the stream. “Alloyâ€"is this the way to Caster- b‘r‘idge’!’ said some one from the other A pedestrian would be seen abstract- edly passing along Mixen Lane: and then, in a moment. he would vanish, causing the gazer to blink like Ash- ton at the disappearance of Ravens- wood. The abstracted pedestrian had egg‘efl into the _s}it by thq adro‘it fillip of his person sideways; from the slit he edged into the tavern by a simi- lar exercise of skill. l The company at the King of Prussia were persons of quality in comparison with the company which gathered here; though it must be admltted that the lowest fringe of the King’s party touch- ed the crests of Peter’s at points. \Vaifs ind strays of all sorts loitered about, ere. To this house Jopp and his acquaint- ances had arrived. ’The thunder of bowls echoed from the backyard;swin- gels hung behind the blower of the chimney; and err-poachers and exâ€"game keepers, whom squires had persecuted without a. cause (in their own view), sa§_ellgowirug»each other. be, and here about the same social reâ€" lation to the King of Prussia as the latter bore to the Golden Crown. At first sight the inn was so respectable as to be puzzling. But at the corner of the public-house was an alley, a mere slit, dividing it from the next build- ing. Half-way up the alley was anar- row door, shiny and paintless from the rub of infinite hands and shoulders. Ihis was the actual entrance to the i-nn. now’s man 1‘ n’t see which was uppermost. ” Where beest thee, Joe. under or top ?" she screeched. "Ohâ€"under.” says be. She then began to rap down upon my skull. back and ribs with the pyle till we'd roll over again. " Where beast now. dear Joe. under or top 3” she'd scream agam.

And then when we got up m hall she syv_a.re that the cock pheasant “Yes-â€"'tis not our greatest goings that the world gets wind of," said the furmityâ€"woman. who lately settled In this purlieu. sat among the rest. It was she who presently asked Jopp What was the parcel he kept so snugly un- der his arm. " "Ah, therein lies a grand secre , said Jopp. “ It is the passion of love. To think that a woman should love one man so well, and hate another so un- mercifully.”> ” One that stands high, in this town. I’d like to shame her! Upo'n my llfe 'twould be as good as a. play to refid her love-letters, the proud piece of sxlk and wax-work!

These pas- sages soon began to uncover the secâ€" ret which Lucelta had so earnestly hop- ed. to keep buried, though the epistles, being allusive only, did not make it altio‘g‘grtlml:~ pIgin. "Mrs. Farfrae wrote €hatl” said Nance Mockridge. "'Tis a humbling thing for us, as respectable women,that one of the same sex could do it.

HOW I Won My Wife It was getting toward nine o'clock when my attention was attracted td a pretty little girl who was tripping. across the street. J ust as she reaclh ed the curb she slipped on a patch ofl ice and fell heavily. It took me about half a second to reach the little woman and pick her up. She was shaken by? the fall, though not injured. and 113361 to support her for a. moment. Then] she Went her way. I had tramped up and down my beau three or four times when 82 barehead- ed cars-bl boy ran out of one of the big stores and yelled at me: ceilvt "Come, quick! The manager has caught a. shoplifterl" ' “Ah', pfficer," said the manager, who. was a. mere business machine, "I am glad you have come. One of our clerky at the lace counter discovered that as valuable piece of lace had. been stolen and gave the alarm. This woman but- ried away from the counter. The lace was found in an outside pocket of her‘ cloak. This is the piece on the desk' here." I glanced up and fairly started. for one of her ears was mutilated just as the girl and the note in the office had. described. The woman swept on and Ifollowed. She entered the very store where I had arrested Minnie, and went up to the very counter where the lace was stolen and began examining the stock. And then, selecting a trifle. she paid fog it an_d turned to go. I was in a quandary. But; I was de- termined to make an effort and run the risk of making a serious mistake. Stepping up to her, I touched her shoulder and whispered. “Come wtth me. 1 want you a moment," at the same time looking straight into her eygs. Seeing that she was caught, the shoplifter owned up that she had stol- en the piece of lace. \Yhen accused of the other theft. for which I wanted her, she confessed to that, too. My, but wasn't that a. grateful little woman! She just ran and placed her There was a. sudden movement on tha part of he woman. She snatched her handkerchief from her face, extended) her right arm and finger, which should with rage. and, turning her blazing eyes upon the business machine. she fairly screamed; " "fig false!

Every drop of blood left the woman's face. She fairly trembled [or an m- stant. and then she. looked back de- fiantly and went with me. \Ve had moved but a step or two in the direction of the bookkereper's den, where the girl had been sourph- ed three days before, when somethmg struck my teet. I stooped and picked up a. bundle oi lace. The woman had dropped it. 1 was rightâ€"I had found my thief. My, but wasn't that a. grateful little woman! She just ran and placed her arms around my neck and kissed me. I was kind of taken back, for although) I rather enjoy kissing, I don't like too‘ many witnesses. I married her two weeks afterward, and the business machine gave her a .250 outfit, and was glad to get out of the awkward fix at that price. Then she told me her little story. She was an orphan and had been brought up by an old aunt in the country. About six months before this her aunt had died. and she came on to the city and. turned her hand to lacemaking, and had been able to support herself de- cently since then. Somehow I coufldn"t get the sorrow- Eu] look of those eyes out; of my mind, and I couldn't leep, and when day- light came time hung on a. peg until court time came. 1 walked around thinking over the case, trying to ar- rivoi‘, at some solution favorable to the gur .
