glcd with doubt and distrust, was plainly de picted on the guard's handsome countenance, as, rogardiucincwiOi a puzzled, hnlf comical oxpvossion, lie Siiid, iificr a minute, " Well, sir, if.you really believe you caw her, I should advise you changing your carriage." "Why so?'1 I demanded, iv surprise " Because it's well to be on the safe side, sir, fur I've in aid something of this kind before. Young ladies are dangerous cus tomers in trains sometimes, sir," he added, with the twinklo coming into his eye again. As I drew myself up somewhat indignantly he continued : "They say an accident is almost certain to occur when an apparition has lieen seen." So, opening the door, he began to collect my bags and tiaps, while I, perplexed, and uot without some feeling of alarm, alighted, and followed him hastily along the side of the Hue. " You might have feen some ladies and gentlemen all dressed for a party gut into the compartment in front of yours at Peterborough," resumed the man, as he steered me by the light of his lantern over the rough ground ; " and live and merry they were ; they were going to a ball at Grantham. I fancy you must have been dreaming, sir, for certainly none of them got into your carriage, though one did try, and as to'nppaiitions, well—" He did not finish the sentence, for just then v,c found an empty comparlmcDt at the rear of the train, and the engine's whu-lltf at the 'same mo ment announcing the line clear, with but few more words I was very soon again locked in and left to myself. My first act when the train was once more in motion was to examine carefully the ear ring to unaccountably found. The shape struck me as curiou.s. It was a wheel suspended from a bird's claw, which turned when touched. Surely, as J told the guard, this trinki-t was a pror.f that 1 had not been deceived or dreaming; at least, this was not the apparition of an pairing, at any ra'c. What could it mean? The more I thought of it the more I was perplexed, and finally I put it away in my porlcmonunie, and with a mind wearied with puzzling over the strange occurrence, I at length fell asleep once more, but not for long. Suddenly I was rudely awakened by a tenific crash and a shock which threw me violently foiward, while the carriage lurched over and nearly capsized. 1 knew at once an accident had happened— the accident half prophesied by the guard. As soon os 1 could collect my scattered senses aud found myself unhurt, I clambered out of the carriage and ran down the line to the front of the train to ascertain the extent of the catastrophe. It was dillicult to make one's way iv the darkness and confusionjbut what were my feelings of horror and amaze^ ment joined to intense thankfulness, whenl discovered, after some light had been obtained from a hastily-kindled bonfire, that the carriage I had previously occupied vas lying a coinpfete wreck ! I knew it by its color and the number, which I had remarked, c! II visible on the battered panel. Then 1 learned that several passengers in the othei compartments, of it had suffered fearfully, and I was so overcome that 1 felt quite dizzy. b ere was a wonderful and miraculous es cape indeed. All the events of the past half hour rushed through my troubled brain. On that smashed and splintered seat I ludsat; and but for the presence of my mysterious companion, there Ishould belying—crushed maimed, perhaps dead! Horrible! The bead liroke out on my brow ns I thought of it. When my neivcs had recovered a little, I sought out the guard, who, pale nnd grave, was endeavouring to reassure the frightened passengers assembled on the bank. lie was comforting them with the intelligence that a special train would arrive .shortly from Grant ham, and take them from the scene of the disaster. " My good fellow," said I, "you must ex plain to me what you ment respecting that young lady—the apparition I mean, as you chose to call it. You said an accident—" " Lor bles.s you, sir,'1 he interrupted sadly, " 'twas only my chaff. I never heard any thing about a lady ; but I thought as you seemed a bit scared it would make your mind easier like, and that's why I shifted you. I can't give any reason why such a fancy came into my head ; but it's well it did, tir, for it just saved your life, saved it by 'the ghost of a chance,' as one may say;" and there was a faint return of the old humorous twinkle in the man's eye as he thus aptly made a play upon the words. "It was the carriage you were in that suflered most." II Well, there's many a true word spoken in jest," returned I. "Are there many hurt 5" "About seven, I fear, sir, and four or more killed. We don't know the cause at present, sir ; 'twasn't a collision, and don't appear to have anything to do with the stopping of the train a while ago. These things do turn one up more than a bit," added the man, as he was called away. The lamps of the special train wcreno weighted, and we, the unscathed were speedily in our places, and arrived at onr destination without further hurt or hin drance. But what perplexed ideas whirlled in rapid succession through my mind as we ■were hurried alorig ? Hrre was I saved from dreadful and un timely death by—what? Nor a dream, cer tainly ! but whatever it was, by a most marvelous interposition, or, perhaps, as the the guard said, " by the ghost of a chance." How could I call it a dream or entertain the notion of ghostly influence, when the earring picked up by my own hand was now safe in my pocket ? Was it safe ? I looked. Yes, safe enough, the wheel suspended from the bird's claw. A wheel of fortune it had indeed proved to me. "And do you mean to tell me this is a fact ?" I asked ironically, as I finished my friend's manuscript. '' Every word of it, as lam a living man," he answered. "See, here is the earring," and he handed me the trinket. "Well," I continued, after examin ing it. "What are you going to do? How are you going to finish your stnry?" "Oh, I don't know. Can you give me a notion ?" He knows I have on eye for dramatic situa tions. " Not I, indeed ; you will have to invent that, I suspect." And we talked a good deal more, of course, about the strange affair before I left him, and equally of course, at the end of two years the story was not finished. My friend is only a dabb'er, and seldom brings any cf his efforts in art or literature to a fruitful issue. I little thought that it would devolve on me to take up the thread of this one and finish it for him. Before parting, however, I asked, "Did you sec the girl's face ?" " Not very clearly. The light was dim. I could uot distinguish her features precisely, nor the eoler of her eyes, nor any details exactly, you under stand; yet there was a look"—he vent on aftera pause—" which remiuded me of some body, or I thought it did, I could not tell whom, that I had seen before. It was a mere impression, quite unformed, vague to degree. I had forgotten, even, that any thing of the kind crossed my mind until you asked the question." " Would you know her again J" " Humph I"—he hesitated —" I hardly know. I think I should if she were similarly dressed aud posed." Then he said good-by ; and for two years I do not think we have mentioned the subject above twice ; once, when I inquired if he had finished the story; and once later on when, if I did not clear it up, I at last threw a wicrd light upon the mystery; the light by which lam enabled to make a sort of second part to the lirst which I found him writing. Myfiiend's rooms again ; looking much as usual, save that he is at his ea'el instead of at his desk. Again, as usual, keen for the time being upon what he is doing, he does not rise when I enter, and I stand talk ing to him for awhile behind his ebai'\ We have not seen each other lately, aud he rallies me goodhumoredly about dropping the acquaintance of careless bachelors like himself since my marriage—for that momen tous event has happened within the last six months. He was abroad at the time, and docs not know my wife yet. Soon we passed from this interesting topic, and I said something about the water-color drawing he was working at, as 1 still stood watching its progress over his shoulder. It was a small study, done the previous evening at a life-school, as he told me, from what artists call the draped model—a, rustic figure of a girl seated on a stile. "But stay," he cried, "you should see it under a white mount. I have one here cut out to the size. Wait, let me get it." He rose and went toihe other end of the room. An idea struck me; and taking from my pocket a certain cabinet-sized photograph, which I had brought to show him, I stood it on the easel in front of his picture, which it exactly covered. Returning with the mount, aud talking volubly atout what he was going to do in. painting, he automatically put the hollow center of the white cardboard just over the photograph, but without, fora moment, noticing the change I had made. Suddenly he saw it, and, with au 6xclama tion of wonder, started back. • " How came that here?" he went on, pale j and agitated, as he looked inquiringly from : the picture to me. "Did you put it there? • Do you know the lady? You recognize it ?" | "Yes, certainly. ■ I haven't seen her for , some years now; but I should know that like- j ness anywhere. " He bit his lip and paused, J and then added, " I didn't know you knew i her." " I don't," I answered; "and I never ; knew that such a person had ever lived till i yesterday. " " Then how do you come by her portrait? and -why do you bring it to me!" "To ascertain if it really was the same per son. " " Same person as who?—what ? I don't understand!" "Why, whether, by any.strange coinci dence, this lady—my wife's old triend and schoolfellow—might happen to be the lady I you once—well, shall Tsay once knew under j very peculiar circumstances?" He looked at me now somewhat angrily as be said, " See

hero, old fellow, there are matters fiometimos in a man's life that he doesn't Care about hav irit; raked up again. I toll you horiCßtly this is one of them, andl don't quite like this kind of joke. ""Is o joke, on my word," I con. tinned; " and if lam touching on anything unpleasant;, please foraivo me, for I havo a purpose. Not that I imagined you wercbo sensitive on the.-mbject, especially asyou con templated turning it to literary account."

" IV—literary account? What do you mean?" he asked indignantly; I should us lief think of turning cannibal as of turning anything connected with that young lady to account, as you call it.'' 1 was a little'puz zled now, so I said, " Well, but who do you say the young lady is?" " Met name—if you mean that—was Mis? Kaugliton, Uo&e Naiightou when I knew her; but I confess I don't see that because she happens to be a friend of your wife's you are warranted in re. foi ring thusabruptlytomy acquaintance with her." "My dear fellow," Iciicd, "I hail no idea of this, believe me. I hadn't v. notion that you knew her name, and we arc cvi. dently a little at coss-purposcs But bear with me a minute longer. Admitting that this is a portrait of the Miss Eooe Naught on whom you seem to have known, though I never could have guessed that, just look at it carefully again and see if it does not remind you of some one else—some one whom you ouce saw, I repeat, under very peculiar cir. cumstances."

He bends forward to examine the photo, graph, and presently Baya. " No." Then I i-ay, "Will this help jour motnoiy?" and while he is still looking at the portrait I put down on the ledge of the easel, jiut under his. eyes, an earring. "Good God?" lie cries "Whatarcyou up to? Whathavejou taken this out of the cabinet for?" "I have not been near the cabinet, if you nie.ii! the place where you keep your jewels." "Thenwjmt on eartli—" He hesitates, aud, taking up tho earring, walks with it acioss the room to his treasure store. I cannot help, with my dia matic instincts, watching him eagerly: and it is as good as a play to sec his surprise and wonder when, opening the cabinet, he taken foith the earring he picked up in the railway carriage, and finds that he has the fellow to it in his other hand.

Yes ; there they are, clearly the pair—two birds' claws, each holding a revolving wheel " Now look at the portrait again," I said,' when he had slood for a minute regarding me with blank amazement. "I don't say that you will, because it is mere speculation, but do you not see in the portrait of Mi«s Naugbtou something to remind you of the young lady, your mysterious traveling com panion ?" He i 3 examining the photogrrph ugain. " Well, it is very absurd, but really now you put it to me, there might be some thing of the same look iv it, aud " He ponders. " Was it she, then—Hose— after all, that I in a n'casure was reminded of that night. Un n^v honor 1 seem to think it must have been.' Then, turningto me, she asked: ' But what is the meaning of all this ? Why do you want to know whether I can see any resemblance in this photograph to that girl, and where, above all, did you get this other earring from ? Explain your self, for God's sake !" " Because, as I say," I replied, "it seems to me just possible that, if there be such a thiug as ghostly influence, or spiritualism, or clairvoyance, or whatever one may choose to call such mysteries—because, I say, if such things exist, you may have received the warning to leave your seat as you did through tnc mysterious influence of Miss Naughton herself, for she was in that rail way train that same night, and those car rings belongod to her. " Again the wonder in his face would have been amusing had it not been mingled with an expression ot pain. "Incredible, preposterous!" he said at length. " You Bay that Miss Naughton is a friend of your wife's ? "

"Yes; and I will explain how I came upon the fact forthwith. Yesterday, as my wife was dressing, «he asked mo. to fetch her a hrooch from the drawer in her drcts ing-case. Ou openiugit, the first thing that caught my eye, amongst a lot of little trinkets, was that earring, and a moment's examination showed it to be the counterpart of the one you had so mysteriously come by. The device was not easily to be fur. gotten. You may jud«c of my surprise, and how it led to my telling her about your strange adven! ure. Then we went into tbo matter, and she on her part tcld me how the earring had belonged to a school-fellow of hers. Kose Naughton by name, who had lately gone abroad; and how, two years ago, she had been in a, fearful railway acci dent one evening, while on her way from Peterborough to a ball at Grantham— how two of her party had been killed while sitting beside her; how she escaped by a miracle, uninjured ; and how, amongst the trifliug events connected with the terrillo circumstance, she had Josfc one of her ear rings—one of a pair which had been given to her that night by the man to whom she was engaged, and who was himself killed."

My friend's face, with a stiange perver sity, seemed for a moment to lose its pained expression as I uttered these last words. I resumed: "When Miss Naughton went abroad she gave my wife her photograph— that on the easel-and amongst other sou venirs that odd earring; for it appears the tragical accident brought about one good result for Jid-— -it cut short an engagement entirely distasteful to her, and into which she had been foiced—well, I .didn't hear exactly how ; at any rate, she never loved the man—disliked him in fact, wy wife says, and she had no compunction-about giving the earring to my wife, who was struck with the quaiutness of the device. You will readily understand how this story instantly associated itself with you in my mind. A comparison of dates and other circumstances left no doubt. I was bound to come and tell you ; and I hope, my dear fellow, you will acquit me now of an idle in trusion upon your affairs. I assure yov I had not the faintest idea trut you knew Miss Naughton by name. I thought you might have seen her, as I believe you did; for assuredly her presence—either in the flesh or in the spirit, whichever it was-saved your life." My friend, full of amazement, held out his Land, and, in shaking ruiiift warmly, evinced more feeling than I had ever given him oredit foi. 11 Of coarse, of course, old man," he said, " I know you didn't mean anything; only I was taken by surprise, as well I might be, for I was tremendously fond of Eoso Naughton once—am so still, for the matter of that- and the sight of her face rather took me aback. We were half engaged once, only her old mother broke it off, and 1 wa? angry and hastj, and—and I dropped them, and have been sorry ever Bince; and then I was too proud, and, in short, have made an ass'of myself. Do you know where she is now ? Do you know, where she has gone T " No; but I can find out." " I wish you would ; for after all you tell me, I have a strong inclination to follow her and try my luck again— try if fortuue will turn her wheel for my benefit." " Most certainly do so;you would be flying in her face if you did not; for really this is the most astounding thing on the whole that everhappened to a fellow. There must Lave been some mysterious agency at work when you were thrown to close together that night without cither of you knowing it. Say that the appearance wr.s but a vapor of the brain, partly due to ill health and uneasy sleep, still its aspect and nature are clearly traceable 10 Miss Naughtou's prersnee hard by; and mere coincidence is not sufficient to account for all that happened." " Very marvellous, truly," faid he ; "ana we can only call it, as the guard did, ' the gho4 of a chance.' Still whatever it was, it hardly accounts for the earring being' in my compartment ; that, as I originally wrote, was not the ghost of an earring; how dove set over that Ah," I answered, " we are as far off in VUc solution of that as ever. IN ever mind ;be thankful that things areas they are. I will ascertain fiom my wife Miss Naushton's present address, and do you go and see if she can explain tne mystery." He followed my.advice, and he hnally married Rose Nau^hton, of course; butstm it was a long time before any light was thrown on the earring side of the mystery. This eventually came, however, thuswise : In the course of the whirligig of society in which my frieud and his wife move there has turned up a young man, who was one 01 the ball party on that fatal night, and bo thus explains the enigma : He says he was late and was hurrying along the platform at Peterborough when Mis Naughton and her friends were trying to find seats. They were a little a head of him, and in the contusion she must have lost one of her earring?, wr he picked it up, and fearing to be left Be hind—for the whistle was soundmg-ue _ made a dash at thojpearest carriage. The window wl open, but the door was locked, and on precipitately thrust og in his head to see if there was room, U» elbow struck against the edge of the doo. and the blow jerked the trinket out of bis hand to the further side of the carraige ana across the lees of a recumbent passenger, half asleep. There was do time to arouse the passenger or call the guard, t"6*^* been actually in motion, and it was only uy jumping into the next compartment that "a managed to save himself from being If" tie hind. Of course hecoucludedthathesuouia recover the earring when they stopped J* Grantham ; but theu came the accident, anu the loss of the earring was held of Utu° account-albeit it was a-potenuactorinw" ing my friend's life.—" Time."
