THE STORY-TELLER.

- —-» THE LOST BANK NOTE \ CHAPTER 111 continued. I produced the receipt, previously pre pared on one of the fii’in s loose forms, and the bank-note Number 07,452. The latter Mr. Wylde eyed suspiciously, ques tioning its genuineness. But upon my Bhowing him that the receipt was merely for; this note, : with the number specified, and that unless the note were good the acknowledgment would be valueless, he abated his distrust, merely remarking that he should never believe his luck till lie had “cashed the flimsy.” But he affixed his signature without further protest. And on my expressing a desite to have the names of a couple of witnesses to the document, Mr. Wylde, relieved at the demand as corroborative of the genuineness of the note, summoned the landlord and waiter, who added their names with cheerful alacrity, pleased at being called on to witness so tremendous a transaction. . “And now,” said. Mr., Wylde, when it wasjconcluded, “ I shall quit an ungrate fill country, and seek to plant the stand ard of art in the far west—When I have acquired the • colossal fortune that awaits the'true artist in that more enterprising clime, -I shall punctually discharge this debt, Mr. Dunning, which I persist in regarding as :a mere temporary obliga tion.” n • * CHAPTER IV. The possession of the true receipt was ■ an important step gained : the next and more difficult one*-was to obtain and des troy the forged acknowledgment. To wards that attainment I now directed my energies. : - r '- - I knew; it could, be concealed in no drawer or desk accessible to the firm : it was too valuable to be allowed to slip out of Murdon’s private keeping. It was likely enough kept under lock and key in his own desk. Watching my opportunity, I abstracted his bunch of keys one day when he was engaged in the private room of the firm, having left them in one of his drawers. There was no time to rum mage in his desk, but I rapidly took an impression of all his keys—only five in number—in wax, which I had kept pre pared for that purpose. The mould I took to a locksmith, the son of my land lady, a man on whom I could rely. Trumping up some story about a fellow clerk whose honesty I suspected, and whose drawers I wished to search, I got him to make me a set of keys according to the pattern. The locksmith was not a man burdened with consciencious scruples; besides, he knew me well enough not to discredit my motives in ordering.the job. He made the keys readily and deftly. Armed with these, one evening, when the clerks were gone, I opened the cashier’s desk, and subjected its contents to a thorough examination. » : ""Not a paper, riot a memorandum could I find having reference to the Wylde business ; riot a document relating to Number 07,482. There were only two out of the five keys which fitted locks in the office—one the desk, another a private drawer. The others apparently belonged to drawers or chests at Murdon’s private residence; and there, in all probability, lay the receipt. The next day I sent an excuse for non attendance at the office, pleading illness, and set about elaborately counterfeiting the handwriting of Murdon, authorising > his landlady to allow me to visit his rooms for the purpose of finding a deed which he had left at home. This forged letter procured me a ready admission into his rooms, the landlady contenting herself with ’suffering me to go up-stairs unac companied. The coast was clear, for Murdon was down at the office, and I had all the morning and afternoon before me. I left no corner or creVice unexplored. I ransacked his clothes, books, and papers. ' I turned every pocket inside out, I peered behind the mirror on the mantel piece, emptied his dressing case, tobacco box, peered even into the cruet-stand, prodded the stuffing of the chairs and sofa, and turned up the corners of the carpet. All to no purpose. My search brought to light other keys, which sufficed to open every closed receptacle in the . place. But not a vestige of the receipt or clue to its hiding place could be found. After a long and fruitless search, I turned away with a heavy heart, convinced that if he still held the receipt, it must be ; '"'V carried about his person, or else lodged in § Borne distant keeping which I saw no ‘ ’ possibility of reaching. Disappointed and dejected, I turned my steps towards Kennington, hoping to gain strength of heart and acuteness of invention from the sight of her beloved face. For Rate’s gentle and reliant na ture ever stimulated and fortified me— taught me endurance, taught me to hope against hope. I found her alone. Though she read in my countenance that I had no good news to bring as yet, her patient, uncomplaining voice nerved me as of old, and I regained confidence. After all, fortune had befriended us generously; for much was already done towards clearing her father’s name. I did not despair of accomplishing all this | in time. But time. There was the rub. * Would time be accorded us 1 As if in answer to the enquiry, her father’s knock was heard, and Kate, look ing out of the window, saw that he was accompanied by Murdon. Her terror rose. “Oh, go—go,” she cried excitedly; “ there will be a scene if he meets you here again. He is so violent, and then he has my father in his power, and father’s health is so shattered. Not for your own sake, but for mine, do pray avoid him.” Unable to resist her entreaty, I slipped into an adjoining room, and as he as cended the stairs and entered the sitting room, I passed down. Murdon’s top-coat, an ill-fitting wrap-rascal which descended to his ankles, was hanging in the hall. He had divested himself of his overcoat, purporting to pass the evening at that house. There was a lost hope that I might find the receipt in one of the pockets. Quick as thought, I passed my hand into the pocket in the breast of the coat, and found a bulky pocket-book. It was full of old • letters. But there was an inner eceptacle. [to be continued. 1 i'li iv - i X 1

Medical. A DVICE TO MOTHERS.—Are you /\ broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button.” It has been in use in America, and is highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. U>d.—Depot, 493, Oxford street. TA7HO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this » * question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. V VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the V HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. fid. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of . changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walk den : “One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. fid. ppr bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London. /NOCIvLE’S ANTI BILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the flowers of the camomile. They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients ; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints ; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes at Is 2s 9d, 4s fid, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and lie Australian Colonies.
