PrSlestlfag that he would speak simply tha.bars-truth, Mr. Porter proceeded to relaleTne"same story that be had told Stlaa, suppressing, however, the mention of theock'et.

Well, that Silas had not lwlt rd more than a month, when I got a let ter from. Kogle Jc Quick, to say that he Hvas come Into an annuity, and I was to end him up to their office at once." "Hut I cannot perceive what hold you have upon this youth. What la the se rious ,rnarge you threaten to bring against him?" "Well, he carried away a suit of rlothewlth- him. for ono thing," said Mr. rorter. "The other thing is for deserting his wife!" "Deserting his wife!" echoed Mont gomery, lit a loud tone of astonishment. "Do you mean to say he Is married'" To Judith there." Mpdtgouiery was struck speechless with astonishment, and, for a moment, Sould ouly Mare with the most bewli ered of expressions, which quickly merged Into one of intense satisfaction. "More food for revenge upon that woman." was his flrst thought. "Well. 7011 have astonished me this time!" he cried, "llut I should have thought Silas Carslou waa the last man in the world that Judith would have selected. Uather a hazardous spec to risk that much on the fellow's probable marketable value. I wouldn't for the world make mischief txtween man and wife." he said, smer Ingly; "but I can tell you that he Is making up to a girl in the city. He neems to have a' weakness for golden hair," he added, glancing sarcastically at Judith's red iresses. "This girl has the most t yfhat reminds me No, such a coincidence could never occur out of a uovel." "Oh, the depravity of the human heart!" snuffled the Itev. Obadlali l'or ter, forgetting himself for an instant, Jbut the color had again flushed up Into Judith's face, and there was a dangerous looksln her eyes. "Ilmet your old friend, Itodwell, the other- night." said Montgomery, sudden ly looking up. "We were talking about you.V Judlth became, excited. It was a t-nance shot, but Montgomery perceived It had told.

With some llttlo dlRlculty 1 discovered tils destination, and saw him standing at the window with his arm very lovingly round a young girl's waist. I got Into conversation with the servant next door, and learned a few particulars; but uutll this moment It never occurred to me that this girl precisely fthswers to the de scription given me by Hodwell. It's tho same, and 1 have killed two birds with one stone!" Long and earnest was the conversation that eusned between the trio, lint It Is trot necessary to repeat It In this pluce. Hoth Its explanations and results will appear hereafter CHAiTEK XXt. Between six and seven o'clock on the next evening, an elderly man. dressed like a gentleman fanner, hastily entered tho shop of a picture dealer, situated lu the West End, and asked. In a nervous, impatient manner, to luspect some very pretty water-color drawings that were in the window. The shopman produced them. Instead, however, of examining the picture Itself, the gentleman seemed chiefly Interested In the back of It. It was growing dusk, and he carried the picture to the door and carefully exam ined the blank surface at the back, In oue corner waa faintly Inscribed In pen cil the word "Clara." With an exclamation of pleasure, and a brightened face, he went back to the counter, and asked the shopman for the address of tho painter. The young man hesitated. "1 beg pardon, sir," he said: "but it Is not usual to give the addresses of the lsdles aud gentlemen who work for us without their permission." "I.et me see your master," said the gentleman, sharply. In a few minutes the principal himself came forward. "I wish to purchase all the drawings you have by this rtit. aud at the same time to he favored with her address. I am not asking this for the gratification of Idle curiosity. The lady I believe to be a very near ami dear member of my family, whom I have lost sight of for several years whom I believed to be dead. Five days ago I was looking in at the window of a picture dealer's In the Strand, when I saw exposed for sale a water-color painting, representing ray own cottage down In Suffolk. I hove Just such a picture at home, and there waa a peculiarity of touch about tnis one that led me to Micro, wild as the thought seemed then, that both were the work of one hand. I went Into the shop, and purchased the picture. I was not deceived. Inscribed lu a corner at" the back was the word 'Clara.' Hut the salesman could give me no Information about the artist: they hsd bought It about two years ago, with several others. of a young girl whom they hod ntyer seen since. My nephew dined with me tli at day. and I told him of the circum stance. He at once requested the analr to be left In bis bands. He came to my hotel last night to tell me that he had Inquired, aud caused others to Inquire, of every likely picture dealer, but bad not met with the slightest success. As this was my last day In the city I thought I would take a look round the picture shops myself. I have been about all day, and was just about to give up my search In despair when I caught sight of these, I thought they looked like her work, and, sure enough, here Is her sig nature In the corner. Yet, stay a mo ment; to make assurance doubly sure, I will show you her likeness, painted some slv years ago. You will be then able to tell me whether it Is the same." He produced the identical miniature that Silas had found in I.lttle Bethle hem, and which. It will Ijo remembered, ha had left In a pocket of the dollies deposited with Mr. Jonathan Itodwi-ll. Tho shopkeeper hesitated no longer, but at once handed over to him the re quired address. The gentleman purchas ed the pictures at a very lianilsome price, got Into a cab that the shop boy had fetched for him, and drove away In the direction of the northwest. He arrived at Mrs. Wilson s about 8 o'clock, and knocked at the door. To Ills Inquiries, the servant repll.il, "Miss Clara has gone with missis to the play house; and I do not expect she will be home until late." 'Does she frequent places of amuse ment much? Is she often out of an evening?" 'Oh. dear no; this is the flrst time I have ever known her to go; the is never out late." 'How unfortunate! Hut I must see her to-night, at whatever hour she may return. I will come back at twelve." Mary looked very much astonished at the Idea of auch a late visit, ilr.ilqnn- than Itodwell ordered the.-cnlmiaji to drive to the nearest hotel, where he en gaged a bed and waited impatiently the passing away of time. At 12 o'clock be knocked again at Mrs. Wilson's door. They had not re turned. "Would Mary permit him to come in and wait?" Mary did not like the Idea of admitting a stranger at such an hour, ami she alone In the house. "Hut he looks a gentleman," she thought, "and he Is old enough to be my father." "Don't be afraid; I am not a burglar, my dear," said Mr. Jonathan, smiling, and slipping a coin Into her hand. He walked Into the parlor, and Mory lit the lamp. Oue o'clock by his watch, and still they had not come. He was growing uneasy; he rould not sit still; he walked up aud down the room, with bis watch In his hand, counting the min utes. The rumble of wheels at lust, lie ran out to the door; the night was dark; he could not perceive any object; but faster and faster, nearer and nearer, came the roll of the wheel, until they stopped before the bouse, CHAlTKIt XXII. The reader will probably remember that Monday night had been fixed be tween Clara, myself and Mrs, Wilson for our visit to the thenter. Mm lug had tn wait a very uumtsoiiahlo time fur the old lady to complete lier toilette, we did not arrive until Hourly hnlt-piist sev en. A magnificently mounted spectacu lar drama was at the time iu the height of Its popularity! the consequent was that when we presented utirsWve at the pit py-plce w were iHrormed that every sent wns full, At the upper botes v were received with the-initio luliiua tlou. On the opiHtslte eld of the Mad was a row of htllttoards of various theaters, We crossed over to road them. "Here Is the play, my dear." crid Mrs. Wil son, suddenly: "the 'l.ady of l.jons,' I saw It the very first tilaht It waa per formed, and a lovely play It l. too. You will be delighted with It. 11 me see which houe It Is at. The Corinthian. Oh, that Is close by. We can get thero In a few minute," I I did not like this arrangement. Since I had seen Mr. Uodn-etl there, 1 desired to aioid the Corinthian: besides which, 1 might cm-outilcr Joslah. or Mr. Mont gomery, which would be awkward; for, as I have before mentioned, neither Clara nor Mrs, Wilson knew anything of my theatrical employment. Hut aa 1 could oiTcr no plausible objection to 1 Mrs. Wilson's nmixiNltltiii. I - rln ' to quietly acquiesce. So to the Corin thian we went. During the whole of the piny Clara hnd been nipt In on ecutncy of delight. The novelty of the situation, the bril liance and bustle of the house, the de lightful music, the peculiar charm of tho story' Hint was being represented. Its vivid reality, the passionate earnestness of the nctors, the enthusiasm of every one nrouiid, and the heat of the atmos phere nil this was overpowering to a mi'ibldiy sensitive mind, totally unused to excitement of any kind. As I was leaving my seat, with Clara leaning upon my arm, I noticed a stag box In the upper tier. There, attentive ly observing us through a lorgnette, was Mr. Itodwell. As quickly as possible, I turned away, filled with that vague, lad ing fear which always oppressed me at the sight of that man. We did lint re turn to our first sent, but sat at tho back, where It was much cooler, to wit ness the remainder of the performance. Presently a man came aud seated himself in the rear of us, 1 thought I recognlied him as an employe behind the scenes, and I kept my back tnwnrda him lest he should recognize me. As the play drew towards a close I felt a hand laid Upon my shoulder, mid on turning round, saw that this man had risen from Ids seat and was making signs to me. Clam and Mrs. Wilson were breathlessly intent upon the scene, which wns the Isst. 1 glanced at them, rose quietly and moved away without their being conscious of the movement. "You are wanted behind," said the man, in a whisper. ".Mr. .Montgomery j wants you directly. If the ladles miss you, I will took to them till you com back." "Do not tell where I have goue," I said. I passed through the pit entrance end went round In the stage door. Mr. Montgomery had been playing an olllcer In the previous scene, aud wus stilt In his stage dress, "Oh! one of the parts you copied In the new drama tins been lost, and you will have to do another." he said.
