BY CHERRY JAMES. f I C J 1 < À t b- “She lias stolen my ring; I tell you no other could have taken it. I remember clearly that I pulled it off and laid it on the counter while I tried on thosq fur rid ing gloves. No oue but this girl has waited on me, and no other has taken it. z There stands the thief!” The speaker, a fashionably pressed, stylish young Udy, was greatly excited ; she stood the centre of a gaping' crowd at one of the counters in the large estab lishment of Burt &, Bond, while her finger pointed with stem accusation at one of the shop girls, uho, with face pale as death, clung in a sort of dumb stupor to the counter for support. The speaker had missed a valuable diamond ring from her finger, the counters and floor had l>een carefully searched without leading to its discovery, aud ti.e suspicion which the loser had entertained from the mo ment of first missing the ring was no longer concealed. “There stands the thief! I am as posi tive of it as that I live,” she continued, sternly. “D> uot Bay that. Oh, please do no^!' the accused, after several choking-efforts, managed to gasp out. “1 have not taken the ring. T did not even see it. ‘Search me, if you think I am deceiving you.” “Oh, no doubt you have safely con cealed it long l>efore this. Such hard ened wretches as you understand such things,” sueeringly remarked the other. “Guy,” she added, turning to the gentle man accompanying her, “call an officer at once, please. I shall deliver this crea ture ovfcr to justice.” “Mercy, oh, have mercy!” moaned the accused, piteously. “It will kill my poor old mother; and oh, I am innocent.” The handsome face of the young man flushed a deep red, as, laying his band with a reatraininjyjesture upon the lady’» arm, he pleaded: . “I beg of you think this over again, Anna. That po0r girl don’t look like a thief or criminal, Her face and actions are too innocent and honest for that, and I feel certain that she has not committed the theft.”' “Tush, Guy! you are led captive by her pretty face, and your silly disposition to believe all the world as honest as your self,” site replied, impatiently, and with a sting of something like jealousy in her words as well. “Besides, you seem to forget, Guy, that it is the diamond ring that you gave me.” “I will purchase you a handsomer one to replace it. Come, we willgofor .it at ouce, and forget all about this affair.” She broke away angrily from his re straining grasp. “Guv, you are blind. I know this girl deliberately stole the ring, and I shall remain here until she is in custody. Will not some one call an officer!” ; ! L ’ ■ In a few' moments a police officer ap peared, who, jifter listening to the charge made against the poor girl, by the young lady, said, looking upon the deathly pale face of the accused (it must have been a timid, trusting, honest face, and very lovely before the terror of this charge changed it, and it strangely moved the officer, for he had a daughter just about her age also serving in a store, and he thought how it would kill him if some day she was charged with a crime like this): “Of course, miss, if you charge her with (lie theft aod demand her arrest, I must take her with me; but a jail is an awful place for such a tender, innocent looking thing to be locked up in. May be some one here would like to accom pany us to a justice aiu$«go bail for her appearance. It would be an act of mercy ' to the poor thing.” ’ He looked straight at the members of- the firm, but they saw, if'he did not, the storm of passionate anger his woids oc casioned in the breast of the accusing lady. One of them drew him aside to whisper, “We dare not assist the girl. This lady who makes the charge is the daughter of the wealthy and influential Mr.'Reynolds, and we cannot afford to do anything that would alienate her patron age from us." The officer’s lip curled in scorn, as, turning to the accused girl, he said, grasp ing her hand tenderly, “Come with me, poor thing; there is no help for it. Keep np like a brave little woman, now.” It probably was his touch that aroused the girl from her stupor. Casting one last Bewildered stare upon the faces about her, she seemed to fully realize the ‘ -r lesaness of her position, and moanii out i “My poor old mother! my poor me bt ,” A : « r » ' she dropped to the floor uncon scious. At this juncture the gentleman wllO WH8 with the accusing young lady turned again to her, and, laying his hand gently upon her shoulder, said:— “Anna, I plead with you, for the girl’s mother’s sake, if not for her own, relin quish this purpose of yours, and forget all about the fatal ring.” “Guy Halford,” she exclaimed, throw ing off his touch, her face livid with anger, “your interest iu this creature u very unreasonable, to say the least, Your petitions in her behalf only make me more determined to not rest till I see her the inmate of a prison, where she de servedly belongs.’^ J The young man stepped aside with a very flushed face as the accused girl was carried out by the kind-hearted police man, placed in a cab, and driven off to a (lolice lolice station. A A minnte after, Miss Reynolds, having completed her pur chases, called upon him to escort her to her carriage, aud. at bor direction, they were driven to the police court. The magistrate in attendance, learning that she was Miss Reynolds, daughter of the wealthy merchant, to whom, in a great degree, he owed his position, blocked the wheels of justice long enough to grant her, in the most obsequious manner; a private interview. She reiterated her chargeof theft against tbe shop girl, and he, after listening at tentively, begged to know her wishes in the matter, promising to carry tjiem out literally. “I wish the creature prosecuted, and punished with all the rigor of the law and without any consideration of mercy,” she said, bitterly, with a meaning look at Guy Halford. “It shall be done,” the magistrate said. “You need not be detained here; I shall bold her for trial under heavy bonds, which of course she cannot furnish, and sho will therefore be locked up.” “I am glad of that—a prison cell is her proper sphere,” she added, as she and Guy returned to her carriage. He handed her in and was turning away, when she cried to him, in surprise, “Why, Guy, of course you mean to ride back with me!” “Thank you, Miss Reynolds!”/ he said, politely but coldly, “I have business that will detain me.” .* ' , She fell back in the seat with a gasp of dismay. What could it all menn! Why this calling her Miss Reynolds, when he knew how fond she was of “Anna” from bis lips? Why this sudden inde pendence, when she had domineered over him so long and in so many wavs, always finding her will his law! Was there rea son to fear that she was losing her power over him; that her severe treatment of the shop girl was alienating any of his affection from her! The thought brought a burst of wild tears and of terror with it. She, of all persons, alone knew of the months of anxious planning and manoeu vring it had cost her, the admired and envied heiress, to catch brave, honest Guy Halford, for whom she had spurned a score of other offers that the world would have called more brilliant, and now, was she to lose him merely through her spite at the shop girl! Distracted at the mere mention of it, she reached to call the driver and instruct him to drive her back td’the police bourt that she might with draw the charge of theft against the girl, in the hope of meeting Guy on the way. But no, on second thought she felt she could not do this, she could not humiliate herself so, even were it doing an act of justice to another. “Guy will call as usual this evening,” she murmured to herself; “he is too greatly under my control to remain away,” and with this belief she dismissed her fears. And while she rode homeward, apd for long hours after, the accused girl sat cowering and shivering on a seat in the police court; surrounded by filthy, blas phemous victims of crime, and stared at and cruqjly joked about by the cyrious and vicious. The magistrate called up and passed upon one case after another until tho list was exhausted; he lounged and gossiped, drank and smoked, cracked jokes and uttered tremendous oaths with every bummer, politician and criminal that happened near, and, at last, when it was im]x>88ible to avoid it longer, he took notice of the shrinking, weeping girl. It was not necessary, he said, to open any inquiry into the charge against her. He was sorry that he could not pass sen tence on her, instead merely of binding her over to appear, as he was satisfied she deserved the severest rigors of the law. He would hold her over in |2000 of bonds, and as, of course, she could not fqrnish such bonds, he would order her locked up at once. Mingled with the hopeless cry of the poor girl on hearing this, came a firm voice from an obscure corner of the room, where, during all these hours, a man sat almost moveless with a newspaper held before his face. “I will qualify as bondsman in flSOOO, or ten times that amount, if required.” The accused girl, the magistrate and the other listeners in the court-room turned their gaxe in amazement towards the corner. Guv Halford stepped forth. “Mr. Halford,” the magistrate ex claimed, recognizing him, “certainly you do not» wish to interfere in this creature’s 'behalf! She undoubtedly is a hardened thief and criminal!’’ » •I Your duties, sir, are not to pass a final judgment,” uttered the other, in a tone that convinced the fiiagistrate be was not to be trifled with. “Any mnn, yourself included, who dares, from this moment, to cast an aspersion upon this poor girl’s honesty and worthiness, until it has been proven in a court of justice, will do it at his peril.” The magistrate, realizing that, in his ardor to secure Miss Reynolds’ approba tion, had overstepped the bounds of his duties, and quite bumbled now, hastily prepared the necessary 1 papers, which Guy Halford signed.
