“ But. my darling," he cried, despair­
ingly, “ by withholding from me such in­
formation, you render me powerless to
clear away this terrible mystery. Can
you think of no person who bears a strik­
ing resemblance to you?”
“ Ah. yes, I have it,” she cried, bright­
ening up. “ You say this girl was wonder­
fully like me?”
“ You shall judge for youraelf,” he said,
producing his copy of Circe, which he
had brought with him.
She eagerly examined it, whilo he wait­
ed breathlessly for her next words.
"B ut for the color of tbe hair, 1 should
unhesitatingly pronounce it to be a girl
who was at tbe same school with me,"
she said, musingly.
"H er name?” cried Stafford, trembling
with excitement.
“ Ellen Jenkins.” was the reply.
“ The very woman I suspected!” he ejac­
ulated.
“ Yea. but her hair was black.”
“ That verities another conjecture; I
know' where this woman is to be found :
I have the whole mystery in the palm of
my hand.”
“ But the color of the hair?” objected
Constance.
“ Psha! what difficulty is there about
that in these days? How many among
your dark-haired female friends suddenly
appear with golden locks? The clue you
have given me will enable me to clear
jour reputation from all suspicion.”
“ Do that,” she exclaimed, catching his
enthusiasm, “ and though I sacrifice every
farthing of my fortune, I will be your
wife.
Such a consummation to me is
worth a hundred fortunes; for it will re­
move the blight that lias poisoned my
whole life from girlhood.
“ I fear Arthur Penrhyddyn has fallen
into this Ellen Jenkins' rolla,” Be said,
aw he walked up the iane with her.
“ Do not say that I” she cried.
“ Indeed, I fear bo ,” he answered sor­
rowfully ; "and I shall apply your Infor­
mation to rescue him from her hands.”
“ Do not lose a moment,” cried Con­
stance. entreatingly ; “ you cannot conceive
the arts which that woman has at her
command.”

By ten o’clock the next morning he re­
ceived a letter, a bulky one. He went
Into his bedroom, locked the door, broke
the seal and read with trembling eager­
ness.
Instead of copying the contents of Con­
stance’s letter, the reader shall be pre­
sented with a more succinct and complete
narrative than her knowledge of events
could have supplied.
When about 12 years of age. Miss
Grierson had been sent to a school of
high reputation, some twenty miles from
London, kept by one Mrs. Williamson.
There had arrived, some time after, a
young girl of her own age, a relative of
the principal’s, who, while receiving cer­
tain instruction, was to assist as tutor to
the younger pupils. Ellen Jenkins was a
strange girl, and it was not long before
Miss Williamson began to repent of hav­
ing undertaken such a charge. Ellen had
from the first attached herself to Con­
stance Grierson.
Constance, a good-
hearted, generous girl, who loved all who
loved, or pretended to love, her, speedily
succumbed to her arts, and became Ellen’s
firm friend.
By and by it began to be observed that.
In features there was an extraordinary
likeness between these two girls. Con­
stance's beauty was of a melancholy cast.
Ellen’s was of a coquettish, foreign style,
and with a mobility to which tbe other
could not pretend.
But when the two
countenances were in repose, and Ellen
was In a graver humor, the resemblance
was marvellous.
The dark beauty very soon contrived to
obtain a complete mastery over the mind
of her friend. Constance's was a plastic
mind, only too ready, at this time, to re­
ceive Impressions from immediate asso­
ciations.
At church and during their walks they
frequently encountered a tall, handsome,
aristocratic looking man. who made a
point of staring at Constance, and, when
aver the principal or the elder teachers
were not looking, of raising his bat to her.
In a little time the young ladles began
to giggle and Joke her abont the hand­
some gentleman, and to be very envious
of her distinction.
One day. when they were alone togeth­
er, Elen slipped a not# Into her friend’s
hand, saying that the handsome stranger
bad met her that morning in the street
and begged her. In the moat pathetic
terms, to deliver It to the young lady with
the golden hair. At first Constance was
very much shocked, and refused to take
the note; but her companion soon laugh
•d and coaxed her out of such scruples.
The letter was full of such extravagances
of language as would delight a school
girl's fancy.
A fter that, the man dogged the school
more pertinaciously than ever, and the
young lady became so confused, and
blushed ao much every time the encounter
ed bis looks, that more than once Miee
Williamson was very nearly detecting her
confusion. At last, after much coaxing
and some scolding on Ellen's part, the
foolish child consented to give him an
Interview at the bottom of the garden.
The gentleman was soon kneeling at bis
Inamorata's fe et
Constance, however,
was almost too frightened to apeak. When
he seized her hand and poured forth hie
rapturous vows of love, all she could an­
swer was to beg him to let her go and
never see her any mors.
A t length she got back to her own
room, almost dead with (right, and pro­
tested that If Elien ever ao much as men­
tioned hi* name to her again she would
forfeit her friendship for ever. But Ellen
had too deep an Interest In tbe affair to
1st K drop. I f Mr. Parsons succeeded In
carrying off the heiress, aha was to hare
a hundred pounds down, besides indefinite
sums in the future. Nor was this her
. only motive for joining in (he p lot; In her
heart she Jespieed her victim as a poor,
meek, spiritless creature; and she hated
her because she was rich.
A fter a few days she again broached
the subject of the lover; but Constance
again peremptorily forbade It. On the
third, about mid-day, a brougham drove
up to the school, and the coachman pre­
sented a note, purporting to be from Mrs.
Grierson to her daughter.
Its purport
was that Constance must return home
immediately ; her father was dangerously
ill.
Constance, looking very pale and
agitated, had got into the carriage and
was driven away.
A fter pursuing the London road for a
mile or two, the carriage suddenly took
an opposite direction. The sequel may be
guessed; the note was a desperate ruse,
suggested and, as far as the writing of the
note was concerned, carried out by Ellen,
to place the heiress in the hands of her
employer, Parsons. The young lady was
conveyed to a solitary house, the abode
of a friend of the abductor, where the first
person who greeted her was her treacher­
ous friend.
Every effort was made to
coax and then to force her into a mar­
riage, but she resisted with a power of
will that no one would have given her
credit for. Instead of the hundred pounds
he had promised her upon the day the
heiress was placed in his power. Parsons
gave Ellen but twenty, and, when she re­
monstrated, coolly informed her that it
was all he intended to give, and that If
she did not take it quietly he would in­
form against her as the forger of the let
ter summoning Constance home.
Ellen took the twenty pounds, and then
sat down and wrote a letter to Mr. Grier
son, informing him of bis daughter’s dts
appearance from the school and of her
whereabouts. Having thug revenged her­
self, she made her way to London. In
a few hours after the receipt of the
news, Mr. Grierson was upon the spot,
and it was with the utmost difficulty that
Parsons and the owner of the bouse suc­
ceeded in making their escape. In her
letter Ellen had Insinuated that it was a
voluntary elopement; and aa such Mrs.
Griersou, to her dying hour, believed it to
be. It entirely turned her heart against
her daughter; and, being worked upon
by her cousin W ylie, was the immediate
cause of that strange, harsh will, which
was framed to guard against the young
girl forming any hasty or unworthy al­
liance.
"T h is ia my secret,” wrote Constance,
in the concluding paragraph of her letter.
" I t has given me many a bitter houx,
many a tearful, sleepless night.”
Little did Mrs. Grierson suspect that
her cousin W ylie was the concocter of the
whole p lo t; that he It was who first pro
posed to Parsons to try and make a run­
away match with the heiress, and who a f­
terwards supplied him with the means of
carrying her off. Knowing the stern dis­
position o f the mother, W ylie well knew
that if his plan succeeded, she would most
surely disinherit the daughter, and that
in such a case a portion of the large for­
tune must accrue to him.
O f Ellen Jenkins, Constance neither
saw nor heard any more. Weary of the
restricktfms and tbe monotony of her life,
and longing to plunge Into the great
world, Ellen had ben a most willing in­
strument in the hands of a desperate ad­
venturer like Parsons. T o return to the
school was impossible; and so, at 15, she
resolved to seek her fortune in a world of
which she knew nothing, save from books.
Wandering and wondering for the first
time through the streets of the great me­
tropolis, her eye presently fell upon a
large placard in a fashionable hairdress­
er’s window, which told of the wonderful
effect of “ The Auricous Fluid,” which
was warranted to change the darkest hair
to a beautiful golden color.
Here was the opportunity; and she
seized it. When the dyeing process was
complete and her hair arranged in little
careless curls about her face, she was
herself quite thrilled by the marvellous
resemblance she bore to her quondam
friend. A t first, she endeavored to think
of some means by which she might turn
this accident to account; but, upon fur­
ther reflection, it struck her that having
already committed forgery, she had bet­
ter leave well alone. It was soon after
her transmogrification that she met Je­
rome.
Upon the first opportunity she,
having come to the end of her cash, appro­
priated as much of his property, includ
ing the picture she had sat for, as she
could conveniently carry away with her,
and hade blm a silent adieu.
She next appears upon the scene as a
ballet girl at the opera. Here she en­
countered Parsons. They became friends
again. He Introduced her to Mr. Wylie,
who already knew her, from the report
of the former gentleman, as a clever plot
ter. By and by came her marriage with
Castleton. In the meantime she allowed
her hair to resume its proper color, hav­
ing gained too much confidence In the
power of her natural charms to desire
any such aids from art.
From Jenkins' own lips Stafford had
heard the story of his step-daughter up
to her disappearance from Mrs. William
son's school. The reader will probably
remember that having been a listener to
the dying fisherman's confession, the poet
master had next morning repaired to tbe
Castle and was for some time closeted
with Sir lAunce. He told how strangely
the shipwrecked child had been preserved;
how he had reared and educated her, and
how ungratefully she had behaved; but
how, spite of all, he still cherished in hla
heart an interest in her fate. And he
asked whether he. Sir Launce, or tbe
London gentleman, could give him any
suggestions aa to any way in which he
might trace her.
When Stafford was introduced to Mrs.
Castleton, in the Strand, her face struck
him as one that he had seen before. Upon
looking at tbs sketches which he had
brought from the Castle, he at ones per­
ceived her great reeemblance to Rleoooto
de Solaaona, a a well aa to the picture of
Circe. This aat him thinking; and by a
complex chain of Ideas, he began to weaee
a fancy ia which Ellen JankIn» M rs

Before he had finished the perusal of
the letter, Stafford had made up hla mind
to his course of action. He would pro-
ceed to London at once, seek out Arthur,
tell him of the discovery he had mad#
respecting Mrs. Castleton, procure from
him that lady's address, and at once, with-
out any hesitation, accuse hep of being
Ellen Jenkins, and the Circe of Jerome’s
picture.
By 2 o’clock that same day he was
knocking at the door of Arthur’s old
lodgings in Arundel street. Strand. Mr.
Arthur Peurhyddyu was not within, tha
servant replied to his inquiries; did not
know when he would b e ; he had left word
that all letters should be forwarded to an
address at Brompton.
Stafford's heart sank at those word#:
he remembered that Mrs. Castleton lived
at Brompton. Agitated and anxious he
hurried away. Just as he was turning
into tht Strand, he ran full against the
very man he was seeking— Arthur him­
self.
“ My dear fellow, how glad I am to see
you,” he cried, eagerly grasping both his
hands; " I have just come from your lodg­
ings. I have something of the utmost im­
portance to communicate to you— some­
thing concerning that lady to whom yon
introduced me the other day— Mrs. Cae-
tleton.”
Full of only the one thought, Stafford
was plunging ahead when Arthur stopped
him.
“ Mrs. Castleton no longer,” he said,
hastily, "but Mrs. Arthur Penrhyddyn,
my wife.”
“ Heavens!
Your
w ife !” ejaculated
Stafford, staggering as though he had r e
ceived a heavy blow.
“ Yes; until a certain crisis In our a f­
fairs is over, I wish the marriage to be
kept secret from my father. But what
is the matter? Are you ill?”
Stafford's scared and pallid face, which
was attracting the attention of every
passer by, might well evoke such a ques­
tion. "Yes, a sudden glckneea,” he mut­
tered, trying to r a lly ; "a little faintness
— I am subject to i t ; but I can’t stop
talking now, 1 have eome Important busi­
ness.
I will drop you a line.
Good
morning.”
And he bnrrled away, leaving Arthur
standing amazedly upon the pavement,
Much as he tried to shake off such an im­
pression, the manner in which Stafford
had received the news of his marriage
made him sick at heart
In the meantime the artist jumped luto
a cab and bade the driver proceed to
Brompton. Arthur's words had stunned
him. What was to be done now he could
not in any way foresee, beyond that he
determined to take advantage of Arthur’s
absence and at once to clear up all doubts
one way or the other.
*
Mrs. Castleton was at home and would
see him, the servant brought word, and
he was shown into a little boudoir. Ha
sat down, and with a beating heart await­
ed her coming.
A t length she entered, looking very ra­
diant and charming, as became so young
a bride. But her face was no index to
her m ind; the sight of Stafford had filled
her with evil bodements; she had con­
ceived a dislike to him st first sight, and
felt convinced that hU sudden visit meant
mischief.
“ I am delighted to see so great a
friend of Arthur's,” she said, advancing.
“ I did not expect to receive your congrat­
ulations so soon.”
“ The object of my visit het# It not to
offer congratulations,” he answered, cold­
ly. “ My business is to make Inquiries
concerning Ellen Jenkina and Katie Do­
ran. And I perceive I have the honor
of addressing both those personage# in
you, madam.”
"W hat do you mean, air? H ow dar*
you-
But she could proceed no furrher; she
felt that she was conquered at the first
blow— that she win at the mercy o f a
pitiless inan, and she sank Into a seat,
pale and trembling.

T h e origin o f the popular phrase,
"B e fo re you could say Jack Robinson,"
lias sometimes been attributed to one
Hudson, an old professional w it and
song w riter o f London. In the peculiar
orthography o f that early period, the
lines r a n :
“ A warke It ys as ensle to be dona
Aa tys to aaye Jacke robys o n ”
But a more creditable story Is that
told by Lord Eldon In hla manuscript
anecdote book. “ During the debates on
the India b ill," he wrote, “ at which pe­
riod John Robinson was Secretary to
the Treasury, Sheridan, on one evening
when F ox’s m ajorities were decreasing,
said, ‘ Mr. Speaker, tills Is not at all to
he wondered at, w hen a member Is em­
ployed to corrupt everybody in order to
obtain votes.’
“ Upon this there was a great outcry
made by almost everybody
In the
House. ‘W ho Is it? Name him ! Name
h im !’— ‘Sir,’ said
Sheridan to the
Speaker, ‘ I shall not name the person.
It la an unpleasant and Invidious thing
to do so, and therefore I shall not name
him. But don’t suppose, sir, that I ab­
stain because there Is any difficulty In
naming hi m; I could do that, sir, aa
soon os you could say Jack Robin-
non.
