To-morrow enrc iitnl Mr. Wester field's fnltlifiil .Tames jUHtilled her confi dence in lilm. She drew her chnlr near to him when lie called her by her Christian name for Uie llr.it time. "When Westerfield was courting me," nlie said, "his brother was n bachelor. A lady If one can call such n creature a lady! waH living under IiIh protection. He told Westerlleld he wan rery fond of her, and he hated the Idea of getting married. 'If your wlfe'H first child turns out to be a soil,' he said, 'there's an heir to the title and cstnteH, and I tuny go on as I nm now.' We were married n month afterward and when tny first child was Vorn it was a girl. 1 leave you to Judge ft'hut the disappointment was. My lord ran the risk of waiting another year, and a year afterward, rather than be married. Through all that time, I had no other child r prospect of a child. Ills lordship was fairly driven Into taking n wife. Ah, how I luito herl Their first child was a boy l big, bouncing, healthy brute of a hoy. And six mouths afterward, my poor little fellow was bom. Only think of It. And Jell me, Jemmy, don't I deserve to be n bnnpy woman, nfter suffering such n dreadful disappointment ns that? Is It rue that you're going back to America?" "Quite true." "Take mo back with you." "With a couple of children?" "No. Only with one. I enn dispose of ttlie other In Knglnnd. Wait a little be tfore you say no. Do you want money?" "You couldn't help me, If I did." "Marry me, mid I can help you to n (fortune." He eyed her attentively, nnd saw Mint who was in earnest. "What do you call a fortune?" he asked. "Klve thousand pounds," she answered. "Where's the proof of It?" ho suld, tteriily. She produced her husband's letter. He listened with the closest attention while iilic read. The uiiestlon of stenlliur the "illuiiioiids did not trouble either of them. 'It was a settled question, by tacit con- -neut, on both sides. They looked at each other. They were made for each other, and they both felt it. At the same time, James kept his own Interests steadily In view. He stnted the obvious objection to the cipher. Kx per'.a had already tried to Interpret the Igns, and hud failed. "Quite true," she added, "but other peo ple may succeed." GIIAPTKIl IV. An ndvertlsemeut In the newspapers, .addressed to persons skilled In the Inter iliretatlou of ciphers, now represented Mrs. WesterJIeld's only chance of discov ering where the diamonds were hidden. The first answer that she received itiudo iiim amends for previous disappointment. It offered references to gentlemen, whose nninoK were in themselves guarantee. She verified the utverlhclcss, nnd paid a visit to her cor resixindent on the same day. 31 U ihtsoiiiiI appearance was not In his envoi he was old and dirty, Infirm nnd poor. Ills mean room was littered with nliMiliy books. When Mrs. WeHterlleld jitleinjitcd to cuter Into explanations he vtiftcly Interrupted her. "Show me your dirtier," he suld; "I don't promise to study Jt uuI.'hs I find It worth my while," .Mr. Westerlleld was alarmed. "Do take Syd Into training ns a pupil teacher. "I'll force the child on." Mlm Wlgger promised, "till she can earn her board mid lodging by taking my lowest class. When she gets older she will replace my regu lar governess, aud I shnll save the sal ary." As the hour of eight drew near on Wed nesday evening, Mrs. Wcsterfield's anx iety forced her to find relief In action of 1 some kind. She opened the door of her I sitting room, and listened on the stairs. It still wanted a few minutes to eight ' o'clock when there wns a ring at the J house bell. She ran down to open t ho door, The servant happened to be In the hull nnd nnswered the bell. 'I he tier) moment the door was suddenly closed again. "Anybody there?" Mrs. Westerfield asked. "No, ma'am." This seemed strange. Had the old wretch deceived her, nfter all? "Look In the letter box," she culled out. The ser vant obeyed, and found n letter. Mrs. Westerlleld tore It open, standing on the stairs. It contained half n sheet of com mon note paper. The Interpretation of the cipher wus written on it in these words: "Remember, No. 12, Purbcck Road, St. John's Wood. Oo to the summer house in the back garden. Count to the fourth plank In the floor, reckoning from the side wall on the right as you enter the summer house. Pry up the plunk. Look under the mold nnd rubbish. Find the dlnmuuds." Mrs. Mnrshfield was on the point of sending for a cab nnd driving to his lodg ings, when James came in, eager to know if the interpretation had arrived. Keeping her suspicions to herself, she merely Informed him Mint the Interpreta tion was In her hands, "Put a chisel In your pocket when we go to church to morrow morning," wus the one hint she gave him. At eleven o'clock the next morning they were united In the bonds of wedlock. On leaving the church door, the married pair begun their honeymoon by driving to St. John's Wood. A dirty printed notice In n broken win dow announced that the house was to let; and n sour-tempered woman Informed them tliat they were free to look ut the rooms. The bride wns In the best of humor. She set the bridegroom the example of kee ing up appearances by examining the di lapidated house first. This done, she said sweetly 'to the person In charge: "May we louk at the garden?" "The woman made n strange answer to Mils request. "That's curious," she said. James Interfered for the first time. "What's curious?" he usked, roughly. "Among nil the Idle people who have come here, nt otic time or another, to seo this house," the woman said, "only two have wanted to look nt the garden." James turned on his heel and mndc n MinVini,flror tlu "" bouse, leaving it to his ,,? ,J,.,,!. I wlf t pnrHiip the subject or not ns she e rererenies ... , ,..., ... .,.... ,,,.. ,.i.i...

She laid the slip of paper on his desk. "Wuste your time on that," she said atlrlcally, "and see how you like It!" He eMiuilued it first with his bleared rvd-rliiiiucd ejei then with a magnifying glass. The only expression of opinion Mint t'senped him was Indicated by his actions. He shut up his book, and gloated over the nlgns nnd characters before him. On a mid 'mi he looked at Mrs. WeHterlleld. "IIiiw did you come by this?" he asked. "That's no business of yours." "In other words jou have reasons of your own for not uiiswerlug my ques tion?" "Yes." Drawing his own Inferences from that reply, he showed his three last-left yellow teeth lu a horrid grin. ".Shall you be long In finding out what it menus?" she asked. "Days iimy pass before I can find the clew; me n week The week passed. Repeating her visit, Mrs. Westerfield found him still seated at tils desk, still surrounded by liU books, mill cureless of the polite attentions that lie owed to a lady. "Well?" she usked, "have you eurued your money?" "1 huve found the clew." "What is It?" she burst out. "Tell mo the substance, I can't wait to read," He went on Impenetrably with what he had to say. "Hut there are some minor combinations which I have still to dlscov- rr tn my ou n satisfaction. My work must lie well done or not done at all. This Is Hut unlay, eleventh of Mie month. We will nay the evening of Wednesday next," Mrs, Westerfield Hiitllciently controlled herself to he able to review her engage ments for the coming week. On Thurs- ilny. the day exacted by the marrlogo II- cense would expire, and the wedding Midgut take place. On Friday, the express train conveyed passengers to Liverpool, to lx lu time for the departure of the ittenmer for New York on Saturday morn lug. Having made these calculations, she usked, with sulky submission, It she wns expected to cull again on the Wednesday tculug. "No. Leave me your name nnd address. 1 will send jou the cipher, Interpreted, at olcht o'clock." While waiting to hear from the expert, Mrs, Westerlleld made her arrangements for the di'M'rtlon of poor little Syd, The person on whose assistance sho could rely was an unmarried elder sister, illstluguUhcrt as proprietor of a cheap girls' Hihool In one of the suburbs of Lon don. This lady known to local fume as Ml Wlgger had ulready proposed to he.: serious misgivings, she, too, turned steps lu the direction of the garden. James had already followed her instruc tions nnd used his chisel. The plank !u;r loose on the floor. With both his big hnmli he rapidly cleared away the mold and the rubbish. In n few minutes the hiding place was laid bare. They looked Into It. They looked at eoch other. There was the empty hole, telling Its own story. The diamonds were gone. CIIAPTKR V. Mm. Hellbrldge eyed her husbnnd, prr pared for n furious outbtenk of rage. lie stood silent, staring stupidly straight be fore him. The shock that hud fallen on his dull brain had stunned It. She took his arm and led him out to the cab that was waiting at the door. The driver, helping him to get In, to. Meed a piece of paper lying on the front sent. He was about to throw it uw-iiv I won't attempt it unless you give when Mrs. Itellbridge took It out of Ills hand, "It isn't print," slie said, "It's writing." A closer examination showed that the writing was addressed to hcrsdf. Tills was what she read: "Don't trouble yourself, madam, about the diamonds. You have made a inlstuke you have em ployed the wrong man." Those words and no more. Knough, surely, to Justify the conclusion that he had stolen the diamonds, Wns It worth while to drive to his lodgings? Tfiey tried the experiment. The expert liad gone away on business nobody knew where, The newspaper came as usual on Friday morning. To Mrs. Hellbrldge's nuvue ment It set the question of the thef. at rest, on the highest authority. An article appeared In a conspicuous position, fitus expressed: "Another of the many proofs that futh Is stranger than fiction has just occurred nt Liverpool. A highly respeetcd tirm of ship owners in that city receiver, a strange letter ut the beginning of the present week. Promising that hu hud some remarkable circumstances to i.miii inunlcnte, the writer of the letter enletvd abruptly on the nurratlve which follows, A friend of his connected with literature had, It appeared, noticed u lady's viiltlug card left ou his desk, nnd hud Unit re minded by it of a criminal case which had excited considerable public Interest at the time the trial of Captain WestertleM for willfully casting nway a thlp unMtr his command. Never hurlug hcanl at the trial, the writer, at his friend's sub titlou, consulted a file of newspapers ll irered the report und became uwnre far i) first time that a collection of lUailL i ill monds, consigned to the Llverpy I tlrti, was mlkslug from the wreck. vessel. rhon she had been boarded by the salvage party, and had not been found since. Invents which It was Impossible for him to mention bad revealed to his knowledge a hiding plncc In which these some dia mondsin all probability were concealed. I Tills circumstance had left him no alter native, as an honest man, but to be be forehand with the persons, who contem plated stealing the precious stones. He had accordingly taken them under his protection until they were Identified and claimed by the rightful owners. In now appealing to these gentlemen, be stipu lated that the claim should be set forth In writing, nddressed to him under initials nt a postnfllce in Loudon. If the lost prop erty wus Identified to his satisfaction he would meet nt n specified place, nnd on a certain day and hour a person accredited by the firm, nnd would personally restore the diamonds, without claiming a reward. Tlie conditions being complied with, this remarkable Interview took place; the writ er of the letter, described ns nn Infirm old man very poorly dressed, fulfilled his en gagement, took his receipt, and walked away without even wnltlng to be thanked. It Is only an act of Justice to add that the diamonds were afterward counted, and not one of them wns missing." Miserable, deservedly miserable, mar ried pair! The stolen fortune, on which they had counted, had slipped through their fingers. The berths In the 'steamer for New York had been taken and paid for. James hnd married a woman, with nothing besides herself to bestow on blm, except au Incumbrance In the shape of n boy. Hy a refinement of cruelty, not one word had been said to prepare little Syd for the dreary change that was now close at hand lu her young life. The poor child hnd seen the preparations for departure, nnd tried to imitate her mother in packing up. She had collected her few morsels of darned and ragged clothing, nnd had gone up stairs to put them Into one of the dilapi dated old trunks In the great playground, when the servant wns sent to bring her buck to the sitting room. There, enthron ed lu nn easy chair, sat a strange lady; and there, hiding behind the chair in un disguised dislike of the visitor, was her little brother Roderick. Syd looked timid ly at her mother and her mother said: "Here is your mint." "Mnke your courtesy, chlhL," snM Miss Wlgger. Nature had so toned her voice as to mnke it worthy of the terrors of her face. Hut for her petticoats, It would have been certainly taken for the voice of u man. The child obeyed, trembling. ""ion are to go away with me," the school mistress proceeded, "nnd to be taught to make yourself useful under my roof." Syd seemed to be Incnpable of under standing the fate Mint was In 'store for her. She sheltered herself behind her merciless mother. "I'm going away with you, niuinnin," she suld "with you and Rick." Her mother took her by the shoulders nnd pushed her across tho room to her uunt. "You belong Jo me," said Miss Wlgger,' "and I linve come to take you nway." At those dreadful words, terror shook little Syd from head to foot. She fell on her knees with a cry of misery that might have melted the heart of a savnge. "Oh, mniiima, mamma, don't leave me behind! What have I done to deservo It? Oh, pray, pray, pray have some pity on mo!" Her mother was ns selfish and ns cruel n woman ns ever lived. Hut even her hnrd heart felt faintly the Influence of the most Intimate and most sacred of nil hu man relationships. Her florid cheeks turned pule. She hesitated. Miss Wlgger marked that moment of maternal Indecision and saw that It was .'line to assert her experience ,as nn In structress of youth. "Lenve it to me," she said to her sister. "You never did know, nnd you never will know, how to manage children." She ndvnnced. The child threw herself shrieking on the floor. SIlss Wlgger's long arms caught her up held her shook her. "He quiet, you Imp!" It was needless to tell her to be quiet. Syd's little curly head sunk on the school mistress' shoul der. She was curried into exile without u word or n cry she had fainted. &Uf'flruX0Sur Anchor Clamps and Uprights. Tbi Old Fine. Ths Amcuob Fsxca. Great Combination o( Strength and Beauty.

Dat ing from one iiukept nnd unacknowledged birthday to nn6ther, Sydney Westertield had attulued tlie sixth year of her mar tyrdom ut school. Iu that long interval no news of her mother, her brother, or her stepfather had reached Kngland. Roder ick Wcsterfield's daughter was, In tho sad dest sense of the word, alone iu tho world. The bauds of the ugly old clock In the school room .were npproachlug the time when the studies lu the morning would come to nn end. Wenrlly waiting for their release, the scholars saw an event happen which wns a novelty In their domestic ex perience. The mnld-of-all-work put her head In ut the door, and Interrupted Miss Wlgger conducting the education of the first class, , "If you please, miss, there's a gentle mnii In the drawing room," she said. "And here's his card." ltelug a mortal creature, the school mis tress was .accessible to the promptings of curiosity. She snatched the card out of the girl's blind. Mr. Herbert Llnley, Mount Morvcn, Perthshire. "I don't know this person," Miss Wlgger declared. "You wretch, have you let a thief Into the house?" "A gentleman, If ever I see one yet," the servant retorted. Miss Wlgger referred to the card again, nnd discovered (faintly truced Iu pencil) these words: "To see Miss S. W." The school mistresi Instantly looked at Miss Westprlleld. Miss Westerfield rose from her place at the head of her class. At a loss to understand the audacity of her teacher In rising before the class was dismissed, Miss Wlgger began by assert ing her authority. She did In two 'words; "Sit down!" "I wish to explain, ma'am. "Sydney Westerfield, you arc setting the worst possible example to your class, I shall see this man myself, Will you sit down?" I'ule already, Sydney turned paler still. She obeyed the word of command to tho high delight of the girls of her class. Miss Wlgger entered her drawiug room. With the slightest possible inclination of her head, die eyed the stranger through her green spectacles, The servant's esti mate of him was beyond dispute. Mr. Herbert Llnley's good breeding was even tapable of suppressing all outward expres lion of the dismay that he felt ou finding Mtiuelf face to face with the formidable person who hud received him. "Whnt Is your business, if you please?" Uiu Wlgger began. Suld Tickets on Him. It Im good to bo a celebrity, und It it Homctliuus profitable merely to recog nize one. While Cbnuticey M.
