A Novel Chase.

Making my health the reason of my visit , I went with him to the Hotel des Isles Uritanique , where he was staying ; and the followingday I accompanied him by the " Gamblers' train " to Monte Carlo . For some time we wandered from one table to another in the magnificent Casino , occasionally trying our luck with moderate success .

All at once my friend drew my attention to a young fellow standing near a table , and informed mo that ho was a reckless plunger , who had recently appeared upon the scene . In a moment I recognised him as the original of my photos , and my next move was to get an

introduction to him , so I placed myself near to him and made a few more ventures , strange to say I was a considerable winner , while the young , fellow kept on losing . I managed to get into conversation with him , which ended iu my inviting him to dine with my friend and myself at thc Hotel Metropole .

During dinner I succeeded in inducing him to return that evening with us to Nice instead of remaining in Monte Carlo b y himself . Leaving him and my friend to enjoy their smoke , I made my way to the telegraph office and wired to Mr . Warren requesting a reply to bo sent to mc at Nice .

Before retiring for the night I received a telegram stating that the General nnd Mr . Warren were leaving London that evening , and appointing to meet me in Marseilles in two days . In order uot to lose sig ht of Weston , I accompanied him the next day to Monte Carlo , but by my advice he abstained from gambling .

In the afternoon on onr arrival at Nice I found letters awaiting me find , assuming an important business appointment in Marseilles , I left Weston with my Manchester friend and started off that evening promising to return the next day . I waited anxiously on the railway p latform for the arrival of the express from Paris , and was pleased to see the face of Mr . Warren accompanied by an nnmistakeably

English military man . in the short space of time allowed to the passengers for refreshments , I managed to impart sufficient information to the two gentlemen to enable them to find young Ralei g h , and thinking that the scene of the Prodigal Son would be enacted better in my absence than in my presence , I sent them on their way rejoicing , with a promise to send me a wire as soon as they had met with the runaway . That afternoon I received a satisfactory telegraph message from the General , and the same evening saw mc on niy way home .

A Sea Memory.

A Sea Memory .

^ STAND beside the mist-wrapp'd sea ,

( 111 Which hoarsely roars , aud shoreward swells ; - *? Borne on the chilling winds to me Come chimings of the distant bells .

¦ Now loud they sweep the murky air , Now faint they fall npon the breeze ; No single star shines , silver , fair , Above the stormcast , sailless seas .

The Village , half a league from shore , Shows here and there some casement bright , Between , the leafless elm trees hoar , Black eerie phantoms girt with night .

The rough-hewn pier , with flaming eye , Looks out upon the tossing deep , Whose ghostly foam-wraiths dash and fly As thund'rous waves the timbers sweep .

It is the Christmas bells I hear Above the restless wind and wave , This time , of all the darken * d year , Hearts human sympathy most crave .

Alone am I—yet not alone , Since happy visions are with me , And , in the storm ' s wild undertone , Voices I hear , that used to be .

Friends safely housed beside your fire , Bestow a tender thought I pray On them , who , with heart-whole desire , Long to be ni g h just this one day . Is life not like a restless sea ,

Which , tempest-ravish'd , moans and swells , Mingling its hoarse-toned symphony With chimes of peaceful Christmas bells ?

Speed song , and tell of Christmas Peace , And Love that bridges lives apart , Go , ere the silver chimings cease , And with dear mem ' ries fill each heart .
