"Well, he carried away a suit of

"Deserting his wife!" echoed Mont

To Judith there."
Mpdtgouiery was struck speechless
with astonishment, and, for a moment,
Sould ouly Mare with the most bewli

merged Into one of intense satisfaction.
"More food for revenge upon that

round a young girl's waist. I got Into

and learned a few particulars; but uutll

this girl precisely fthswers to the de

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
