For first broach eh in his life, Sam- son Brown shuddered. The idea of trusting a Precious chin to the foul compound of dullness and malignity that stood before him ! There was an awkward pause. Samson Brown turned his eye to the shop window, as the only shoppy thing about the place, hoping to find some small article of which he might make a purchase. Vain endeavor. Rapidly passing in review a miserable assortment of giass cases and pasteboard boxes, evidently containing the fragments of a business ruined years ago, he plainly saw that there was liter- ally nothing to buy. His only course, there- fore, was to jump at once into the middle of his et a “* What was the name of your patern: d- father ?”’ asked Samson eal = “You're another HT Sicko the barber. ‘* Pardon me,” said Samson Brown, “ [don’t quite perceive the force of your observation. I asked you what was the name of your grand- father, on the father’s side.”” “Very well; what was the name of yours?”’ was the respondent growl. ‘Through this uncouth question Samson Brown could almost fancy he heard the voice of a tempting demon, urging him to walk off with the money, and leave the surly barber encumbered with his wrongs, as a punishment for his bad manners. However, he resolutely conquered the fiend; and with every show of good temper, resumed the conversation. “« Was yourgrandfather’s name Jobn Jones?” “If you guess again, you’ll guess wrong,” was the periphrastic answer. “Ina pecuniary respect your grandfather was better off than yourself ?’’ The besotted individual did not know about that. He knowed that he himself paid his way, and that, if other people, who wore fine coats, always did the same, things would go on much better than they did. After a few moments pause, Samson Brown abruptly exclaimed : “Mr. Jones, would you like nine hundred pounds ?”” As this was a question that only admitted of one aoe, Jonathan Jones made no answer at all. “Would you like to have nine hundred pounds?"’ repeated Samson Brown. “ Be- cause, if you would, I will give it to you— now.”’ “Give me nine hundred pounds—now ! Come, come, a joke’s all very well—”’ ‘There is no joke inthe matter. The dis covery has been made that a thousand pounds is due to you from the estate of a certain party deceased, and the discoverer claims ono hun- dred pounds as the reward of his zeal and in- tegrity. So you have only to sign the receipt, and take the money,’ ard he presented a smail document duly stamped. From a state of degged stupidity, Jones had passed into a state of dogged shrewdness. He seemed more ready for information t for ready cash. ‘Who's this here Mrs. Stubbs that this here thing talks about?’ he growled forth. : *: Sign. my dear sir, without troubling your- self to ask questions,’’ said Samson Brown, im- ploringly. ** Well, but one likes to know what one is about; and then it seems I'm to have only nine hundred pounds, and I’m to sign for a thou- sand. The other hundred is for the hagent, you say? Are you the hagent? Because, if you are, [ think you have taken care of your- self, anyhow.” “No matter who is the agent, and who is not. The hundred pounds in question is agreed to by Mrs. Stubbs.”” ‘- £hat Mother Stubbs seems very free with other people’s money,”’ growled Jones. “And I say." he continued, with increasing acumen, “if Mother Stubbs is dead, how can she agree to anything?’’ For the infinitesimal fraction of a second, Samson Brown felt embarrassed; but immedi- ately recovering himself, he said: ‘Mr. Jonathan Jones, my time is valuable. Sign that paper without asking any questions, and I put nine hundred pounds in hard money on that table. Ask one single question more, I walk out of the shop, and you'll never hear - the nine hundred pounds as lorg as you ive” ‘There !’’ cried Samson Brown, after count- ing out the money, which he placed on the table “There, you!’’ grufily replied Jones, as be flung the signed receipt across the table to Samson Brown. Samson Brown retired, and betook himself to his troubled house. Jonathan Jones, having secured his newly acquired fortune under lock and key, snustered to the nearest tap, where he expended a penny in the purchase of half- a-pintof beer. During the whole day he was observed to repeat this process at intervals much shorter than al. * * * * At ten minutes before midnight, Mr. Samson Brown, who was sitting alone in the room where he had first made acquaintance with the late Mra. Stubbs, heard the now familiar rustle of stiff silk, and immediately afterwards the ghos: was visible, with something like animo- sity expressed in its countenance. ‘ Ha!” exclamedSamson Brown, in acheer ful tone; “I knew this business concerned you more than me ; for her you aro ten minutes before your time. Will this be sufficient ?” he continued, presenting the receipt, The ghost extended its hand, a parently closed its thumb and finger on the s Aaiestees and then Samson Brown was alone. The re. ceipt was gone; the ghost was gone. Whetber ithad departed by chimney, chink, or key- hole; whether it had ascended or descended, he could not tell. He only knew that he was alone, and that his hundred pounds were stil! safe in bis | rp He had slapped the pocket by a sort of instinct, at the moment when the spectre vanished. * #* *- os #* On the following morning, Samson Brown was aroused from a refreshing slumber bya loud knocking at his door. Of course heopened it himself, and perceived the agent of whom he had taken the house. Hi , and his in the evening, had been ob- served by several of his neighbors, and had be- come the talk of the village, The terrors of the house had consequently fallen ninety per cent., and its value had risen in the same pro- portion. ae under these altered circum- stances, that he had let the house far too chea 5 the mtcalied on Samson Brown, with his cheque-book in his pocket, to induce him to rescind the contract. On the afternoon of that day, Samsen Brown returned to London in a second-class carriage, bearing in his pocket the hundred pounds found in the cellar, and an additional fifty re- ceived from the house agent as a consideration for canceling the agreement. How he spent his wonderful holiday is only known to his most confidential friends; but it 18 generally remarked that his opinions on two particular subjects are not the same as they were a few yearsago. Noone in the world was more op- posed to superstition; never was man more se- verely in favor of sticking to business than Samson Brown. But now he is occasionally heard a remark, that a holiday now and then is a very good thing, if people know how to make use of it; and that, as for a belief in ee there is a good deal to be said in its a —————_—_—_—_—_—_—— ARRIVALS AT THE HOTEL JNATIONAL HOTEL —H T Tempe Cal; P Cooke, O; G L Nickolis, lowa; C Howell, Pas WW © Watts and ly, Mo; WH Tenney, Cal; JE Goede, USA; Alex Priestly, Pa; Lient Hamilton.
