Four years elapsed before llie Albicore returned to the port from wbicb she bad sailed. In that interval tbe death of Cosway’a patents bad taken place. Tbe lawyer who managed bis alliairs during bis ab sence from England wrote to inform him teat bis Inheritance from bit late father’s “estate” was eight hundred a year. His mother only possessed a life interest in her fortune; she had left her jewels to her son, and that was all. Coswn’s experience of tho life of a naval officer on a foreign station (with out political influence to hasten his pro motion) had thoroughly disappointed him. Ho decided on retiring from the service When the ship was “paid off.” In the tneaullme, to the astonishment of his comrade, he seemed in no burry to make use of the leave granted him to go on ■bore. The faltnml Stone was tbe only man on board who knew that be was afraid of meeting his “wife.” This good friend volunteered to go to the inn, and make the necessary investigation with all needfol prudence. “Four years is a long time at Ler ma; m • age,” he said. “Many things n in four years.” o.u hour later Slone returned to.the ship, and sent a written message on bmrd, addressed to his brother officer, in these words: “Pack up your things at once, and join me in the boat.” _!‘Wbat news?” asked the anxious hns- loskod significantly at the boat- . and only answered, “Walt till we n shore.” '•‘Where are wo going.” “To tbe railway station.” They got into a carriage, and Stone at )once relieved his friend of all further suspense. { “Nobody Is acquainted with the secret JrJ your marriage but our two selves,” be > -gun quietly. “I don't think, Cosway, i need go into mourning.” You don’t mean to say she’s dead!” have seen the letter which announces /’ btone replied. “It was so thst I believe 1 can repeat it, word for word: ‘Dear Sir: Wo have received information of the death of oar client.

ASAy best congratulations.” . driving in London, Stone went on at nee to his relations in the North. Coa- ,-*> proceeded to the office of tho family bwyerfMr. Atherton), who had taken ,re of his interests during his. absence, AM In father and Mr. Atherton had been >/*Vtclioolfkliow§ and old friends. He was /allectioiiaiely received, and was invited o pay a visit the next day to tho lawyer’s ifa at Richmond. (mi will be near enough to London tend to your business at tho admiral- Vr,” said Mr. Atherton, “and you will .jfiieet a charming visitor at my house who Tfi one of the mostcharming girls in Eng- . ■ Valid—the only daughter of the great Mr. > VAestail. Good heavens! have you never " Vieai d of him? My dear sir, he’s one of S Ajja partners of the famous firm of Ben- \flpavr, Restail & Bensh&w.”£ TtCosway was wise enough to accept this t? t piece of information as quite conclu- iflt/c. The next dsy Mrs. Atherton pre sented him to the charming Miss Restail; and.Mrs..Atherton’s young married daugh ter (who'bad been his plsyfellow wbcti they were children) whispered to him half in jest, half In earnest, “Make the best of your time; she isn’t engaged yet.” Cosway shuddered inwardly at tbe bare idea of a second marriage. Was Miss Res! all tbe sort of woman to restore his confidence? She was small and slim and dark—a graceful, well-bred, brightly intelligent person, with a voico exquisitely sweet and winning in tone. Her ears, hands and feet were objects of worship; aud she had an attraction irresistibly rare among the women of tbe present time—tbe attraction ■of a perfect natural smile. Before Cos way hatl been an hour in the house she ■discovered that his long term of service on foreign stations had furnished him with subjects oljeonversation which favor ably contrasted with tbe commonplace e sip addressed to her by other men. iway at once became a favorite, as Othello became a favorite in bis day. The ladies of tbe household all rejoiced in tbe young officer's success, with tbe one exception of Miss ltesUl.’s companion (supposed to hold tbe place of her lost mother), one Mrs. Margery. Too cautious to commit herself in words, the lady ex pressed doubt aud disappointment by her looks. She had white t air, iron-gray eye brows and protuberant eyes; her looks wero usually expressive. One evening she caught Mr. Athertou alone, and con sulted him confidentially on the subject Mr. Cosway's income. This was the first warning which opened the eyes of the good lawyer to the natore of the “friendship” already established between his two guests, lie knew Miss Itestall’s illustrious father well, aud be feared that nught soon be bis disagreeable duty to Cosway’a viait to an end. certain Suuday afternoon, while Vtu.-rtou was stiil considering how laid most kindly and delicately sag- to Cosway that it was time to aay ibye, an empty carriage arrived at the villa. A cote from Mr. Restail was delivered to Mrs. Artherton, thanking her with perfect politeness for her kindness to his daughter. “Circumstances,” he added, "rendered It necessary that Miss Restail should return home that after noon.” The “circumstances” were supposed to refer to a garden party to be given by Mr. Restail in the ensuing week. But why was his daughter wanted home before the day of the paity? The ladies of the family entertained no doubt that Mrs. Margery bad privately communicated with Mr. Pestall, and that the appearance of the carriage was the natural result. Mrs. Atherton’s married |danghter did all that coaid bo done. She Mips her own sluing room. Tbe young lady ap peared in the ball with her veil down. Cosway escaped to the road and saw the last of the carriage as it drofe away. In JiUle more than a fortnight his horror of a second marriage bad become one of the dead and burieu emotions of bis nature. He stayed at the villa until Monday morning, as an act of gratitude to his good friends, and then accompanied Mr. Ath erton to London. Business at tbe Admi ralty was the excuse. It imposed on no body. He was evidently on bis way to Mbs Restail. “Leave yonr business in my hands,” said tbe lawyer on the journey to town, “and go and amuse yourself on the Con tinent. I can’t blame yon for falling in love with Miss Restail; 1 ought .to have foreseen tbe danger, and waited till she left before I invited you to tbe bouse. But I may at least warn you to carry the matter no further. If you had eight thou sand instead of eight hundred a year, Mr. Restail would think it an act of pre sumption on your part to aspire to his daughter’s hand, unless you had a title to throw in the bargain. Loo] ‘VlMf |*jr|j, tbea —-w. ufcwwsiieak- iqg Cosway promised to “look at it in the true light.” The result, in his point of view, led him into a change oi residence. He left bis hotel and took lodgings in the nearest by street to Mr. Itestall’s palace at Kensing ton. On the same evening he applied (with confidence due to previous arrange- ment) for a letter at the neighboring post- office, addressed to E. C.—the initials of Edwin Cosway. “Pray bo careful,” Miss Restail wrote. “I have tried to get you a card for our garden party. But that hateful creature, Margery, has evidently spoken to my father; I am not trusted with any invitation cards. Bear it patient ly, dear, as I do, and let me know if you have succeeded in findings lodging near lus.” Not submitting to this first disappoint ment very patiently, Cosway sent bis re ply to tbe postoffice, addressed to A. R. the initials of Adeia Restail. Tbe next day the impatient lover applied for anoth er letter. It was waiting lor him, but it was not directed in Adela’s hand-writing. Had their correspondence been discover ed? He opened the letter in the street and read with amazement these lines; “Dear Mr. Cosway: My heart sympa thizes with two faithful lovers, in spite of my age and duty. I enclose an invitation to the patty to-morrow. Pray don’t be tray me, and don’t pay too marked atten tion to Adeia. Discretion is easy. There will be twelve hundred guests. Your friend, in spite of appearances, “Louisa Margery.” How infamously they bad all misjudged this excellent woman! Such was the natural conclusion at which Cosway ar rived. He went to the party a grateful, as well as a happy man. The first person known to him, whom he discovered among the crowd of strangers, were the Ather tons. They looked, as well thoy might, astonished to see him. Fidelity to Mn. Margery forbade bim to enter into any explanations. Where was that best and truest friend? With some d.fliculty he succeeded in finding her. Was there any impropriety in seizing her band and cor dially pressing it? The result of this ex pression of gratitude, was, to say tbe least of it, p, rplexing. Mrs. Margery behaved like the Athertons. She looked astonished to see bim, and she put precisely'the same question, “How did you get here?” Cosway could only conclude that she was joking. “Who should know that, dear lady, better than yourself?” he rejoined. “I don’t understand yon,” she answered sharply. After a moment’s reflection, Cosway bit on another eolation of the mystery. Visitors werefnear them; and Mrs. Margery had made her own private use of one of Mr. Restail’s invitation cards. She might have serious reason for pushing caution to tbe last extreme. Cos way looked at her significantly. “The least I can do is not to be indiscreet,” be whispered and left her. He turned into a side walk, and there be met Adeia a’, last. It seemed like fata'Jty; she looked as tonished, and said, “How did yon pet here?” No intrusive visitors were within heariDg this time: “My dear!” Cosway remonstrated, “Mrs. Margery must have told you when she sent my invitation.” Adeia tamed pale. “Mrs. Margery?” she repeated. “Mrs. Margery has said noth- ing to me; Mrs. Margery hates you. We ■nwbwatUs cleared op. No; not now; I must attend to our guests. Expect a letter; and for heaveu’s sake, Edwin, keep oat os say lather** way. One of our visi tors whom he particularly wished to see has sent an excuse, and fie is dreadfully| angiy about She left him before Cosway could ex plain that he and Mr. Restail bad thus far never seen each other. He wandered away toward the extremity of tiie grounds, troubled by vague sntpl-l cions; hurt at Adela’s cold reception of bim. Entering a shrubbery, Which SMm-l ed intended to screen the grounds, at I this pou,t, from a lane outside, he 41*1 covered a pretty little summer hoove] among the trees. A stout gentleman of mature years was seated alone In this re-| treat, lie looked up with a ir >ivn. Cos way apologized for ills.inning him, an.! tutored into a conversation as sc a:: of politeness. “A brilliant assembly to-day, sir.” The stout geotlemau replied by an in articulate round—something between a grunt aud a cough. “A splendid house and grounds,” Cos way continued. The stout gentleman repeated the in articulate sound. e^Cosway began to feel amused. Was tbe old gentleman deaf and dumb? Excuse my entering into conversation,” he persisted. “I feel like a stranger. There are so many people whom I don’t know.” * Tbe stout gentleman suddenly burst into speech, Cosway bad touched a fibre at last. “There are a good many people here whom i don’t know,” he said gruffiy. “You are one of them. What’s your name!’” . “My name is Cosway. What is yours?” The stout gentleman rose with fury m his looks. He burst out with au oath, aud added the intolerable question al- ready three times repeated by others, “How did you get here?” The tone was even more oflensive than the oath. “Your ago protects you,” said Cosway with the loftiest composure. “I am sorry I gave my name to so rude x person.’’ “Rude?” shouted the old gentleman. “You wan’t my name in return, I suppose? You young puppy, you shall have it; my name is Restail.” He turned his baefc and walked off. Cosway took the only course now open to him. He returned to bis lodgings. *i be next day no letter reached him from Adeia. He went to the postoffice. No letter was there. The day wore on to evening, and with the evening there ap- peered a woman who was a stranger to him. She looked like a servant, and she was the bearer of a mysterious message. “Please be at tbe door that opens on tbe lane, at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. Knock three times at the door and then say ‘Adeia.’ Someone who wishes you well will be alone In the shrubbery, and will let you in. “No, sir; I am not to take aDjthlng, and 1 am net to say another word more.” She spoke and vanished. Cosway was punctual to his appoint ment. He knocked three times, he pro nounced Miss Restail’s Christian name. Nothing happened. Ho waited awhile and tried again. This time Adela’s voico answered strangely from the shrubbery in tones of surprise: “Edwin, is it really you?” “Did you expect anyono else?” Cos way asked. “My, darling, your message said ten o’clock—-and here I am.” Tbe door was suddenly unlocked. «I sent no message,” said Adeia, as they confronted each other on the thres hold. In the silence of utter bewilderment they went together; into the summer house. At Adela’s request Cosway re peated the message, ami described the woman who b»4 delivered it. The de scription applied to no person known to Miss Restail. “Mrs. Margery neve? sent yon tbe invitation, and I repeat, I never sent you the message. This meeting has been arranged by someone who knows that I always walk In the shrubbery after breakfast. There is some underhand I work going on ” She checked herself ■considered a little. “Is it possible - Jkbegau and paused again. Her eyes filled with tears. “My mind is so completely npset,” she said, “that I can’t think clearly of anything. Ob, Edwin, we have bad a happy dream, and it has come to an end. My father knows moro than we think for. Some friends of ours are going abroad to-morrow—and I am to go with them. Nothing I can say has the least effect on my father. He means to part us forever, and this is his cruel way of doing it.” She put her arms arouud Cosway’s neck and lovingly laid her head on bis shoul der. With tenderest kisses, they reiter ated their vows of eternal fidelity until their voices-^altered and failed tbem. Cosway tilled up tbe pause by tbe only useful suggestion wbicb it was now in bis power to make—he proposed an olope- larcnt. Adeia received this bold solallon of tbe [difficulty in wbicb they were placed ex actly as thousands of other young ladies Lave received similar proposals before her time, and after. She first said positively “No.” Cosway |crsistcd. . She began to cry, and asked lim if be bad no respect for her. Cos way declared that bis respect was equal to any sacrifice except tbe parting with her forever. He could and would, if ahe pre ferred it, die for her, but while be was alive he must refuse to give her up. Did he expect her to go with him alone? Cer tainly not. Her maid could go with her, ■, if her maid was not to be trusted be would apply to his landlady, and engage “a respectable elderly person” to attend on her until tbe day of their marriage. I Would she have some mercy on him and just consider it? No; she was afraid to |consider it. Did she prefer misery for the rest ofher life? Never mind his hap piness; it was her happiness that be bal In bis mind. Travelling with unsympa thetic people; absent from England, no one could say how long; married when she did return to some rich man whom she bated—would she, could she, contemplate that prospect? She contemplated it through tears, she contemplated it to an accompaldment f sigbs.;kis»ea and protes tations—she trembled, hesitated, gave way. At an appointed hour of the coming night, when her father would be in the smoking-room and Mrs. Margery would he in bed, Cosway was to knock at the door of tbe lane once more, leaving time to make all the necessary arrangements in the interval. The one pressing necessity, under tbe circumstances, was to guard against the possibility ofbetrayal orsurprise. Cosway discreetly alluded to tbe nnsolved mys teries of the idvitation and tbe message. “Have you taken anybody into our con fidence?” Adda answered with some embarrass ment, “Only one person,” she said—“dear Miss Bensbaw.” “Who is Miss Bensbaw?” “Don’t you really kn>w, Edwin? She is richer even than papa; she has inherited from her late brother one-half share m tbe great business in the city. Miss Ben- shaw is tbe lady who disappointed paps by not coming to tbe garden party. 1 was miserable, dear, wben they toon me away from Mr. Atherton’s. Sbe happened to call the next day, aud sbe noticed it, ‘My dear’ said sbe (Miss Bensbaw is quite an elderly lady now), ‘I am an old lady, who has missed the happiness of her lifo through not having had a friend to guide and advise me when I was young. Are you suffering as I once suffered?’ She spoke so nicely—and I was so wretched— that I really couldn’t help it. I opened my heart to her.” Cosway looked grave. “Are you sure| she it to be trusted?” be asked. “Perfectly sure.” “Perhaps, my love, she has spoken I about us (not meaning any harm) to some friend cf ben? Old ladies are so fond of gossip. It’s just possible—don’t you think so.” Adeia lmng her head. “I have thought it just pcssible myself,” sbe admitted. “There is plenty of time to call on her to- day.*&I will set out doubts at rest before Miss Bensbaw goes out for her afternoon drive.” On that understanding they parted. Toward evening Cosway’s arrangements for tbe elopement were ccmplctcd. He was eating bis solitary dinner when a note was brought to bim- It had been left atthe door by a commissioner. Tbe man bad gone away without waiting for an answer. Tbe note ran thus: “Miss JBcnshaw presents her compli ments to Mr. CoSway; and will be obliged if be will call on her at nine o’clock this evening on bozmess wbicb concerns him self.” This invitation was evidently the result of Adela’s visit earlier in the day. Cos way presented himseli at the bouse, troub led by natural emotions ot anxiety and suspense. His reception was not of a nature to compose him. He was shown into a darkened room. Tbe one lamp on the table was turned down low, and tbe little light thus given, was still further obscured by a shade. The comers of tbo room were almost In absolute darkness. A voice out of one comer of the room addressed him in a whisper: “I must beg you to excuse tbe darkened room. I am suffering from a severe cold. My eyes are inflamed, and my throat is so bad that I can only speak in a whisper, bit down, sir. I have got news for yon.” “Not bad news, I hope, ma’am?” Cos way ventured to inquire. “The worst possible news,” said the whispering voice. “You have an enemy striking at you iu the dark.” Cosway asked who it was, and received no answer. He varied the form of in quiry, and asked why the unknown per son struck at him in the dark. The ex periment succeeded. He obtained a re ply. “It is reported me,” said Miss Bensbaw, “that tbo person thinks it is necessary to give you a lesson, and takes a spiteful pleasure in doing it as mischievously as possible. The person, as 1 happen to know, sent you your invitation to the party, and made the appointment which took yon to the door in tbe—Wait a little, sir; I have not done yet. The person has put it into Mr. Restail’s head to send his daughter abroad to-morrow.” . Cosway attempted to make her speak more plainly. “Is the person a man or woman?” he said. Miss Bensbaw proceeded without notic ing the interruption. “You needn’t be afraid, Mr. Cosway, Miss Restail will not leave England. Your euemy is all-powerful. Yonr enemy’s object could only be to provoke yon into piauuing au elopement, and, your arrange ments once comnleted, to part you and Miss Restail quite as effectually as if yon were at opposite ends of the world. Spite ful, isn’t it? And, what is worse, tho mischief is good as done already,” Cosway rose from bis chair. “Do yon wish for any furthor explana tion?” asked Miss Bensbaw. “One thing moic,” he replied, “Does Adeia know of this?” “No,” said Miss Bensbaw; “It is loft to you to tell her.” There was a moment of silence. Cos way looked at the lamp. Once roused, as usual with men of h.’s character, his temper was not to be trifled with. “Mias Bensbaw,” he said, “I dare say you think me a fool; but I can draw my own conclusions, for all that. You are my enemy.” The only reply was a low, chuckling laugh. All voices can be moro or less effectually disguised by a whisper—but a laugh carries the revelation of Us own identity with It. Cosway suddenly threw off the shade over tbe lamp and turned up the wick. The light flooded the room, and show ed him—His Wile. THE THIRD EPOCH IN MR. COSWAY’fl LIFE. Three days havo passed. .Cosway sat alone in his lodging, pale and worn; the shadowjalready of his former self. He had not seen Adeia since tbo dis covery. The only way In which he could venture to make tho inevitable disclosure was by letter. Through Mr. Atherton (to whom he had at once revealed his position) he was able to make mqairles at Mr. Restail’s house. Tbe answers sim ply Informed him that Miss Restail was suffering from illness. The laudlady came into the room. “Cheer up, sir,” said the good woman. “There is better nows of Miss Restail to day.” Ho raised bis head. “Don’t trifle with me!” be answered fretfully, “tell me ex actly what the servant said.” The landlady repeated tbe words. Miss Restail has passed a quieter night, and has been able for a few hours to leave her room. He asked next if any letter had arrived for hitn. No letter bad arrived. If Adeia definitely abstained from writing to bim, tbe conclusion would be too plain to be mistaken. She bad given him up— and who could blame her? There was a knock at the street door. Tbe landlady looked out. “Here’s Mr. Stone come back, sir!” ahe exclaimed joyfully—and hurried away to let him in. Cosway never looked up when his friend appeared. “I knew I should succeed,” said Stone. “I have seeu yonr wife.” “Don’t speak of her!” cried Cosway. “I should have murdered her wben I first saw ber face if I bad not instantly left the bouse. I may be tbe death of tbe wretch yet, if yoa persist in speaking of ber I" Stone put bis baud kindly on his friend ’s shoulder. “Must I remind you that yon owe some-' thing to your old companion?” he asked. “I left my father and mother, the morn ing I got your letter, and m7 one thought has been to serve you. Reward me. Be a man, and hear what it is your right and duty to know. After that, if yon like, wa will never refer to her again. Cosway took his hand, in silent ac knowledgment that he was right. They rat down together. Stone began: “She is so entirely shameless,” lie said, “that I had no difficulty in getting her to iak. She so cordially hates you that i glories in her own falsehood and treachery. In the first place, I may tell yon that she has a certain right, if alio pleases, to call herself ‘Miss Bensbaw.' She is really the daughter of the man who founded the great house in tho city. With every advantage that wealth and position could give her, the perverse creature mar ried one of her father’s footmen. From that moment ber family discarded her. With the money procured by tho sale of her jewels, her husband took the inn which we have such bitter causo to remember—and she carried it on after his death. So much for the past. Wo may now pass over a long lapse of years, and get to tbe time at which you and I were on the South American station, be ginning to think of the happy day when our ship would be ordered back to Eng land. At the date at which we have now arrived, the last surviving member of her family—her elder brother—lay at the point of death. Ho bad takenliis father’s K ‘ co in tho business, besides inheriting father’s fortune. The los3 of his wife (leaving no children) rendered it nec essary that he should alter his will. He deferred performing this duty. It was only at the time of his last illness that he had dictated instructions for a new will, leaving his wealth (excepting certain legacies to old friends) to the hospitals of Great Britain and Ireland. His lawyer lost no time in carrying out the instructions. The new will was ready for signature (the old will havmg been de stroyed by his own hand), when the doctors sent a message to aay that their patient was insensible, and might die m thst condition. He did die in that con dition. Your wretched wife. S§ heSt of kin, succeeded, not only to the fortnnd, but (under the deed of partnership) to her late brother’s place in the firm, on tbe one easy condition of resuming the family name. She calls herself ‘Miss Bsnsbaw.’ Bat as a matter of legal necessity she is set down in tbe deed as Mrs. Cosway Bensbaw. Her partners only now know that her husband is liviDg, and that you are tb Cosway whom she privately married. "Will yon take a little breathing-time, or shall I go on and get done with it ?” Cosway signed to him to go on. “ She doesn’t in the least care,” Stone proceeded, “for tbe exposure. 1 I’m the the head partner,’ says sbe, ‘and tbe rich one of tbe firm; they daren’t turn their backs on me.’ You remember the in formation I received—In perfect good faith on his part—from the man who now keeps tbe inn? The visit to the London dosor, and the assertion of failing health, ./ere adopted as the best means of plausibly severing the lady’s connection (the great lady now !) with a calling so unworthy of her as the keep ing of au inn. Her neighbors at the sea port wore all deceived by the elratagem, with two exceptions. They wore both men—vagabond* who had pertinaciously tried to delude her into marrying them in the days when ahe was a widow. They retused to believe in the doctor and the declining health; they bad their own suspicion of tbe motives which ied to ths salo of the Inn under very un favorable circumstances; and they de cided on going to London, inspired by tbe same base hope of making discoveries which might be turned into a means of extorting money. Their contemplated victim proved equal to the emergency. The attorney whom she had employed to manage tnq^leof tbe lease and good-wiii of the b.n was not above accepting a haudsome private fee. He wrote to tbe new landlord cf the inn, falsely an nouncing bis client’s death, in tbe letter which I repeated to you in the rail way carriage on our journey to Lon don; and he deluded tbe two inferior rogues, when they ventured to make in- qoiiy %l his office. Yon and I were de ceived, in our turn, by tbe lawyer’s letter. Your natural conclusion that yon were free to pay your addresses to Miss Restail, and the poor young lady’s innocent con fidence in ‘Miss BenshawV sympathy, g\re Ui!s unscrupulous woman tbe means of playing the heartless trickon yon which is now exposed. Malice and jealousy—1 have it, mind, from horeelf!—were not her only motives. ‘Rut for that Cosway,’ she said, (t spare you the epithet which she put before yonr name), ‘with my money and position, I might have married a needy lord, and sunned myself in my old age in tins mil blaze of the peerage.’ Do you understand how she hated yon, now ? Enough of the subject! The moral of it, my dear Cosway, is to leave (biq place, and try what change ofscetia will do for you. I have time to spare ; aud 1 will go abroad with you. When shall it be ?” “Let me wait a day or two more,” Cos way pleaded. Stone shook his head. “Still hoping, my poor friend, for a line from Miss Res- tall ? Yon distress me.” “I am sorry to distress yop, Stone. If I esn get one pitying word from her, I can submit to the miserable life that lie* before me.” “Are you not expecting too much ?” >' “Yon wouldn’t ssy so if you were as fond ofher as I am.” They woie silent. The evening slowly darkened, and the landlady came in as usual with tbe candles. Sbe brought with her a letter for Cosway. He tore it open, read it an instant,5*nd devoured it with kisses. His higbly- wreugbt feelings found their vent in a little allowable exaggeration. “She saved my life !”be aaid, as he handea tbe letter to Stone;* It only contains these lines: “My love is yours, my promise is yours. Through til trouble, through all profa nation, through the hopeless separation that may be before us in this world, I live yours, and die yours. MyEdwiu, God bless and comfort you.” THE FOURTH XFOCH IK MB. COSWAY’S UPS. The saparation had lasted for nearly two years when Cosway and Stone paid that visit to the country house which is recorded at the outset of the present narrative. In the interval, nothing bad been heard of Miss Restail except through Mr. Atherton. He reported that Adeia was lerdi'-.g a very quiet life. The one remarkable event bad been au interview between. MUs Bensbaw and herself. No praise, forgiven tbe woman who bad 60 cruelly injured her! Tbe two friends, it may be remember ed, bad traveled to London Immediately after completing the fullest explanation of Cosway’s startling behaviour at tbe breakfast-table. Stone was not by nature’ a sanguinary man. “ I don’t believe in our luck,” he said. “ Let us be quite sure that we are not the victims of another de- ceptio Tin be accident bad happened on the Thames; and the nowspaper narrative proved to bo accurate in every respect. Sumo personally attended the inquest. From a natural feeling of delicacy toward Adeia, Cosway hositated to write to her on the subject. The erer-heipfal Stone wrote in his place. After some delay the answer was re ceived. It enclosed a brief statement (communicated officially by legal author ity) of a last act of malico on the part of tbo late bead partner in the house of Ben- shaw &<Co. She had not died intestate, like her brother. Tbe first clause of her will contained the testator’s grateful rec ognition of Adeia Restail’s Christian acj of forgiveness. The second clause (after stating that there were neither relatives nor children to be benefited by the will) left Adeia Restail mistress of Mn. Cos way Benshaw’s fortune—on the one merciless condition thst she did not marry Edwin Cosway. The third clause —if Adeia Rostsil violated the condition —handed over tho whole of the money to the firm ip tbo city, “for the extension of the business, and the benefit of the sur viving partners.” Some months later Adeia came of age. To the indignation of Mr. Restail, aqjjl the astonishment of tbo “Company,” the money actually went to tho firm. Tbe fourth epoch it. Mr. Cosway’s life wit nessed his marriage to a woman who cheerfully paid half a million of money for the happiness of passing her life, on eight hundred a year, with the man whom she loved. But Cosway felt, bound in gratitude to make a rich woman of his wile, if work and resolution could do it. When Stone last spoke of him he was reading for the bar ; and Mr. Atherton was wait ing to give him his first brief.

It is gratifying that we trnth- fnliy and feelingly unite our voices in commendation of the lamented dead with those oi tbe many thousands of a common pie. The occasion which called for h a sentiment is as painful in its recol lections and as deeply deplored by tbe people of the South as by those of any other section of the country, the una nimity with which these resolutions were passed and the expressions conveyed in tbo resolution speak more than any words of mine, and you can rest assured, madam, that in them is voiced the tribute of ail old soldiers ot tbe Booth to the sterling worth of the late President.” Mrs. Garfield, by agreateflort, repressed her emotion, whil3 the aged mother of the late President wept freely.

Tbe syndicate now controls a total of 4,250 miles of railroad, and owns 20,000 acres of the richest lands in tbe country. Tbe roads may bo divided into four dis tinct systems. Tbo systems are com posed of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis, the Peoria, Decatur and Evans ville, and Lake Erie and Western, the ^hio Central, and the Virginia, Tennes see and Georgia railroads, formiug one of tho most comprehensive and wide-spread systems of the country. Tbe first is the road now being com pleted, theNew York, Chicago and St. Louis, reaching from Buffalo to Chicago, a distance of 321 miles. During the com* ing year this road will be extended from Valparaiso, Ind., to Joliet, 111., and will there make an alliance with the Chicago, Perkin and Southwestern, now In opera tion. This latter line will also be ex tended during tbe same time to Hanoibal and Quincy, and from there direct con nection will be made with Kansu City and all points southwest, by means of the Hannibal and St. Joe. At Chicago, the New York, Chicago and St. Louis will make connection with the Milwaukee and St. Louis for the Northwest. A close alliance bu also been made with the Northern Pacific. At Bnfialo connec tion wilt be made with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western extension, now nearly completed with the Etle and tbe New York, West Shore and Buffalo. These roads, so joined, will form a contin uous line across tho continent, connecting New York with Portland, Oregon. By order of the syndicate, the Pullman comoauy is now building at Chicago a special outfit of palace, sleeping and hotel cars, which are to bo run over tbe trans continental line from New York to Port land. They are to be or special style and distinguished from the other care now in use, and negotiations are now in progress by which tho New York, Chicago and St. Louis will receive another connection with the Pittsburg and Western, now building from Pittsburg to Youngstown. Tbe pur pose is to extend tbe latter line to Cleve land. Tbe exact plan for this has not yet been adopted. At Fort Wayne and Eel River Junction tbe New York, Chicago and St. Louis makes a connection with tbe Wabash and St. Louis Pacific, for St. Louis and Gould’s entire Southwestern system, with which intimate business re lations have been established. R. C. Cummins is also president of tbe Peoria, Decatur and Eransville, with 250 miles ot road in operation, and the Lake Erie and Western, with 365 miles of road. The Peoria, Decatur and Evansville is to be extended through Kentucky and joined to tbe Southern system. Tbe Lake Erie and Western is also to be extended daring the year from Mancie to Indianapolis and Bloomington to Peo ria. This will join tbe two roads and place tbem practically in one system. Tbe Ohio Central has just completed a consol idation with tbe Atlantic and Northwest ern of West Virginia, and has thereby secured lines extending from Toledo and Columbus through the HockiDg Valley coal fields to the Ohio river.
