THE DIAMOND BRACELET.
[CCSTINUEP.]
CHAI'TER II.—coiso into esilk.
A Httt^ man was ;>irMiug about bis library with imjiatient step.s. He wore a wadded dressing-gown, bandsnme ouce, but remarka¬ bly shabby now, and be wrapped it closely ronuii uim, tbougb lhe beat of ibt* weatber was iutense. Bat Colonel Hope, large as were his coffera, never speut Upou hiiuseU a superfluous farthintr, especially in tbe way of personal adommeut; and Colonel Hope wonld not bavo felt too warm, cased in sheep¬ skins, for be had spent the beft part of his life in India, and was of a chilly nature.
The colonel had that afternoon been made acquainted wit.b an unpleasant transaction wbiuli Jiad occurred iu hi.s liim-je. The hoose- , bold termed it a luystnry ; be, a seandaloua robbery ; and he bad written forthwith to tbe nearest chief police-station, detuanding tbat an officer might bo despatched back with the messenger, to investigate it. So there he was, waiting for their return in impatient expectation, and occasionally baiting before the window, to look out on tbe bnsy London world.
The officer at length came, and was intro¬ dnced. Tbe colonel'ri wife, Lady Sarab, bad joined him then ; aud tbey proceeded to give bim the special ontljue of the case. A vala¬ able diamond bracelet, recently presented to Lady Sarah by her husband, had disappeared in a singular manner. Miss Seaton, tbe com. panion to Lady Sar.ih,had temporary charge ofthe jewel-bos, and had brought it down theprerious eveniug, Thursday, this being Friday, to tbe back drawiug-room, and laid several pairs of bracelets out on a table, ready for Lady Sarah, wbo was going to the opera, to choose wbich she would wear when she came op from dinner. Lady Sarah chose a pair, and herself, put tbe rest back into tbe bos, whicb Miss Seaton then locked, and carried to its place up stairs. In tbe few minntes that tbe bracelets lay on the table, tha most valuable one, a diamond, disappear¬ ed from it.
" I did not want tbis to ba officially inves¬ tigated ; at least, not so quickly," observed Lady Sarah lo tbe officer. "The colonel wrote for you quite against my wisb."
" And so'have let tbe thief get clear off, and put up with the loss i" cried tbe colonel. "Very fine, my lady."
*' You see," added her ladyship, explaining i to the officer, " Miss Seaton is a young lady I of good family, not a common companion ; a frieud of mine, I may say. Sbe is of feeble constitution, and tbis affairs bas so complete¬ ly upset her tbat I fear she will be laid on a sickbed."
"It won't be my fault if she is," retorted j tbe colonel. *' The loss of a diamond brace¬ let, wortb two or three hundred guineaa, ia not to be bushed up. They are not to be boaght every day, Lady Sarah."
Tbe officer was taken to the room whence tbe bracelet disappeared. It presented notb¬ ing peculiar. It was a back drawing-room, tbe folding-doors betweeu it and tbe front room standing open, and the back window, a large one, lookiug out upon some flat leads— aa did all the row of houses. The officer seemed to take in atl tbe points oftbe donble room at a glance ; its door of commnnication; its two doors opening to the corridor outside, with its windows. He looked at the latches of the two entrance doors, aud he leaned from the front windows, aod he leaued from the one at tbe back. IIm next requested to see Miss Seatou, and Lady Sarah fetched her —a delicate girl with a transparent skin, looking almost too weak to walk. SUe was in a visi'ile tremor, and shook aa she stood before the stranger.
He was a man of pleasaut manners and apeech, and be hastened to reassure her. " There's nothing to be afraid of, young lady," said be, with a broad smile. " I am not an ogre; thoagh I do believe some timid folks look upon us as snch. Jast please to compose yoorself, and t^ll me as mncb as you can recollect of this."
" I put the bracelets out here," began Alice Seaton, laying hold of the table, underneath tbe wiudow, not more to indicate it thau to steady herself, for she was almost incapable of standing. "The diamond bracelet, the one lost, I placed bere," she added, touching tbe middle of tbe table at the back, and the rest I laid out round and beforo it."
" It was worth more than any ofthe others, I believe," interrupted tbe official. " Mach more," growled  the colonel. The officer nodded to himself, aud Alice re¬ named.
" I left tbe bracelets, and went and sat
down at one of the front windows "
" Witb the intervening doors open, I pre- same."
"Wide opeu, as they are now," said Alice, "and the other two doors sbnt. Lady Sarah came up from dinner almost direotly, and tben tbe bracelet was not thera." "Indeed I you are quite certain of tbat." "I am quite certain," interposed Lady Sar¬ ab. " I looked for that braclet, and, not seeing it, I supposed Misa Seaton had not laid it out. I put on tbe pair I wished to wear, and placed tbe otbera in the box, and aaw Miss Seaton lock it,"
"Thenyou did not mias the braoelet at | that lime V questioned the officer.
"I did not miss it in one aenae, becaase.I did not know it batl been pnt out," retumed ber ladyship.   " I saw it was not there."
"Bat did yon not mias it I" lie asked of Miaa Seaton.
"lonly reached the table as Lady Sarah was olosing tfae Hd of tbeboz,"Bbe answered. " Lady Frances Chenevix bad detained me in tbe front room."
" My aister," explained Lady Sarah. " She is on a visit to me, and had come np with me from dinner."
" Yoa aay yon went and aat in the front room," resumed the officer to Alice, In a quick¬ er tone thaa he had used previonaly, "will yon show me where f"
Alioe did not stir, she only tumed her head towards the front room, and pointed to a chair a Uttle drawn away from the window. "In that chair," sbe said, *lt stood aa it standa now."
The officer looked baffled. " Yon must have bad the back room in fnll view from thenoe ; botb tbe door and window."
"Quite so," replied Alice. "Ifyou will se* dowu in it yoa will perceive that I had an nninterrnpted view, and faced the doora of botb rooms."
" I perceive ao from here. And you saw no one enter?"
" No one did enter.-It was impossil-le tbey could do so witbont my observing it. Had eitber of the doors been quietly unlatched, I must bave seen."
"Aud yet tbe bracelet vanished!'* inter¬ poaed Colonel Hope. " They must bave beeu confounded deep, whoever did it, bul thieves are said to possess slight of hand."
" They are clever euongh for it, sume of them," observed the officer."
"Rascally villians ! I should like to know bow tbey accomplished this."
'* So should I," significantly returned the officer. " At present it appeara to me incom¬ prehensible."
There was » panse. The officer aeemed to muse ; and Alice happening to look np, saw his eyes stealthily studying her face- It did not tend to reassure her.
'• Your servants are trustworthy ; tbey have lived with you some time ?" resumed tbo officer, uot apparently attaching much importance to what tbe answer might be.
" Were tbey all escaped convicts, I don't aee that it would throw light on tbis," retort¬ ed Colonel Hope., " If they came into tbe room to steal tbe bracelet. Miss Seaton must, have aeeu tbem."
" From the time you put out the bracelets, to tbat of the ladies coming up from dinner, how long was it?" inquired the officer of' Aiiuf. I
"I scarcely kuow," panted she,  for, wbat j with hia cloae looks and close questions, sbe i was growing less able to answer.   "Idid not take particular notice of theelapseof time; I was not well yesterday evening." " Was it halfan hour?" " Yes—I dare say—nearly so." "Miss Seaton," ba continued,   in a brisk tone, " will you ha*»re objection to take an ^ oath before a magistrate—in  private,  you know—that   no  person   whatever,   except yourself, entered either of these rooms daring that period V
Had she been requested to go before a mag¬ istrate and testify that she,herself, waa the; guilty person, it conld scarcely havesaffected her more. Her cheek grew white, ber lipa parted, and her eyes assumed a beseeching look of terror. Lady Sarah Hope hastily poshed a cbair behind ber, and drew her down upou it.
" Really, Alice, you are very foolish to al¬ low your.'^elf to be excited about notbiug," she reiterated ; you would have fallen on tbe floor in auotber minute. Wbat harm is there in taking an oath—aud in a private room ? You are not a Chartist or a Mormon—or what¬ ever tbe people call themselves wbo profess to object to oaths on principle."
The officer's eyes were atill keenly flxed on Alice Seatou's and she cowered visibly beneatb his gaze. " Will you assure Tne, ou your sa¬ cred word, tbat no person did enter the room?" he repeated, in a low, firm tone, which some¬ how carried to ber the terrible belief that bo; believed she was trifling with him. .-
She looked at him, gasped, and looked again; and then she raised her handkerchief in her hand and wiped ber damp and ashy face.
" I think some one did come in," whisper¬ ed tbe officer in her ear; "try and recollect." And Alice fell back in hysterics.
Lady Sarab led ber from the room, herself speedily returning to it.
"You see how weak and nervons Miss Seaton is," was her remark lo tbe officer, but glancing at her husband. " She has been an invalid for years, and is not strong like other people. I felt sure we should have a scene of some kind, and that is why I wished the investigation not to be gone into hurriedly." "Don't you tbink there are good grounds for an investigation, sir?" testily asked Colo¬ nel Hope of the officer.
"I must confess I do think so,colonel," was the reply.
"Of course you hear, my lady. The diffi¬ culty is, bow can we obtain the firat clue to tbe mystery?"
"I do not suppose there will be an iu- saperable difficulty," observed the officer.— "I believe I have obtained one."
"You are a clever fellow then," cried the colonel, "if you have obtained it here. What is it?"
"Will Lady Sarah allow me to mention it —whatever it may be—witbout  taking of¬ fence?" continned the officer, looking at her ladyship. She bowed ber head, wondering much. "What's the good of standing upon  cere¬ mony?" peevishly put iu Colonel Hope.   ' 'Her ladyship will be as glad as we shall be to get back her bracelet; more glad one would tbink. A clue to the thief!   Who canithavebeen?" The detective smiled.    When men are as high in the police force as he, they have learned to give every word its due aignifi- cauce. ''I did not say a clue to the thief, colo¬ nel; I said a clue to the mystery." "Where's the differeace?" "Pardon me, it is indisputably perceptible. That the bracelet is gone ia a palpable fact; but by whose hands it went ia aa yet a mys¬ tery."
"What do yoa auspect?" "I suapect," returned tho officer, lowering hia voice, "that Miss Seaton knows how  it went."
Tbere was a silence of aurprise ; on Lady Sarah's part, of indignation.
"Is it possible that yon suspect her?" utter¬ ed Colonel Hope.
"No," said tbe officer, "Ido notsnspecther se!f; sbe appears not to be a suspicioua per¬ son in auy way; bnt I believe she knows who the delinquent is, aud tbat fear, or aome otber motive keeps her silent. Is sbe on familiar terms with any of tbe servants?"
"But yon cannot know what you are say¬ ing!" interrupted Lady Sarab. "Familiar with the servants 1 Miss Seaton is a gentle ¦ woman, and bas always moved in high socie¬ ty. Her family is little inferior to mine; and better—better than tbe colonel's" concluded ber ladyship, determined to speak oat.
"Madam," said tbe officer, "you must be aware that in an investigation of tbis natnre we are compelled to put questions whioh we do not expect to be answered iu the affirma¬ tive. Colonel Hope will undera'tand wbat I mean, wben I say that we called them 'feelers.' I did not expeot to hear that Mias Seaton had been on familiar terms witb your servants (though it might bave bsen ;) but that quea. tion, being disposed of will lead me to another I auspect that some one did enter the room and make free with the bracelet, and that Miss Seaton must have been cognizant of it. If a common tbeif, or an absolute fitranger, sbe would have been the-first to fgive the alarm; if not on too familiar terms with the servants, she would be as little likely to screen them. So we come to the qnestion— who conld it have been?"
"May I inquire why you suspect Misa Seaton ?" coldly demanded Lady Sarah.
"Entirely from her manner; from the agitation she displays."
" Most yonng ladies, particularly in onr olasa of life, would betray agitation at being troagl^t face to feoe with a poUoe^iffloer,"
My lady," he returned, "we are keen, I     "For felony I "uttered Gerard Hope.   "Oh, experienced men; and we shoild not he fit | indeed I   Could you not make It murder?'
tirged Lady Sarah.
for the offioe we hold if we were not. We generaUy do find lady witneasea betray nn- eaalneaa when flrat exposed to ourqueationK, but in a very short time, often in a few mo¬ menta, it wears off, and thqy grow gradually eaay. It waa not so with Miss Seaton. Her agitation, exoesaive at first, increaaed visibly, and it ended aa yon saw. I did not think it the agiUtion of guilt, but I did think it that of conscions fear. And look at the related faots ; that she laid the bracelets there, nevtT left tbem, no one oame in, and yet the moat valuable ona vanished. We have many ex¬ traordinary tales brought before ns, but none quite so extraordinary as that,"
The colonel nodded approbation ; Lady Sar¬ ab began to feel uncomfortable.
"I should like to know whether any one called whilat you were at dinner," muaed the officer. " Can I see the man who attends to tbe hall door ?"
" Thomas attends to that," aaid the colonel, ringing tbe bell. -'There is a side door, but that is only for the servants and tradespeo¬ ple."
" I heard Tbomas say tbat Sir George Dan¬ vers called while we were at dinner," observed Lady Sarah. " No oue else. And Sir George did not go up stairs."
The detective amiled.    "If he had,  my
lady, it would bave made the case no clearer."
" No," laughed Lady Sarah, "poor old Sir
George would be puzzled what to do witb a
diamond bracelet."
" Will you tell me," said the officer, wheel- j ing sharply ronnd npon Thomas wben he j entered, "who it was that called here yester¬ day evening, while your master waa at dinner? I do uot mean Sir George Danvers ; the other one."
Thomas visibly heaitated; aud that was suffioient for the lynx-eyed officer. " Nobody , called but Sir George, sir," he presently said. Tbe detective stood before the man, staring him in the face with a look of amusement. " Tbink again, my man," quoth be. " Take ' your time.    Thero was some one else."
The   colonel   fell   into  an explosion—re- ; proaching   the   unfortunate   Thomas   witb having eateu his bread for five years, to tarn , round upon the hoaae and ita master at last, and act the  part  of a deceitful,  conniving
wretch, and let in that swindler " '
" He is not a swindler, sir," interrupted Thomas. I
*l Oh no, not a swindler," roared the colonel,, "he only steals diamond bracelets."
"No more thanl steal 'em, sir," again spoke Thomas. " He's not capable, air. It was Mr. Gerard." '
The colonel was struck speechless ; bis rage vanished, and down be sat in a chair, staring at ^Thomas Lady Sarah colored with sur¬ prise.
"Now, my man,"  cried the officer, "wby conld yon not have said it was Mr. Gerard ?" " Becanse Mr. Gerard asked me not to say he had been, sir ; he is not friendly here, just now, and I promised.bim I would not.    And I'm sorry to have had to break my word." " Wbo is Mr. Gerard, pray ?" " He is xay nephew," interposed the check¬ mated colonel. " Gerard Hope."
" But, as Thomas says, he is no swindler," remarked Lady Sarah ; " He is not a thief. You may go, Tbomas."
"No sir," stormed the colonel; " fetch Miss Seaton here first. I'll  come to the bottom of this. If he has done it. Lady   Sarah, I will bring him to trial, though he is Gerard Hope." Alice came back, leaning on   tbe arm  of I Lady Frances Chenevix ; the  latter baving ; been dying with onriosity to c. me in before, i "So the mystery is out, ma'am,"  began the colonel to Misa Seaton: "it appeara this gentleman was right, and that somebody did cpme in ; and tbat somebody the rebellious Mr. Gerard Hope."
Alice was prepared for this, for Thomaa bad ' told her Mr. Gerard's visit was known; and ahe waa not ao agitated as before. It was the fear of its being found out, the baviug to conceal it, which had troubled her.
"It is not possible tbat Gerard can have taken the bracelet " uttered Lady Sarah.
"No, it is not^ossible," replied Alice. " And tbat is why I was unwilling to men¬ tion his having came np."
"What did he come for?" thundered the colonel.
" It waa not an intentional viait. I believe he only followed the impulae ofthe moment. He aaw me at the frout window, and Thomaa, it appears, waa at the door, and he ran up."
" I tbink you might have said ao, Alice," observed Lady Sarab, iu a stiiT tone.
" Knowing he had been forridden the housei I did not wisb to bring bim under the colonel's displeasure." waa all tbe excuae Alice could ofter. " It was not my place to inform against bim."
" I presume he approached sufficiently near the bracelets to touch them, had he wished?" observed the officer, who of course bad now made up bis mind upon the business—and upon the thief.
" Y—es," returned Alice, wishing sbe could have said no.
" Did you notice the bracelet there, after he waa gone ?"
"I cannot say I did. I followed him from the room when he left, and then I went into tbe front room, so tbat I bad no opportunity of observing."
"The doubt ii solved," waa tbe mental comment pf the detective officer.
The colonel, hot and hasty, sent several servants various ways in search of Gerard Hope, andhe was speedily found and brougbt. A tall and powerfal young man, very good looking. ^
" Take him into custody, officer," was the colonel's impetuous command.
" Hand's off, Mr. Officer—if you are an offi¬ cer," cried Gerard, in the first sbock of the snrprise, as be glanced at tbe gentlemanly appearance of the other, who wore plain I clothes, " you shall not touch me nnless you can show legal anihority. Thia is a shamefal trick. Colonel—excnse me—but as I owe nothing to you, I do not see tbat you have any snch power over me."
The group would have made a fine study ; especially Gerard, bis head thrown back in defiance, and looking angrily at everybody, " Did yoa hear me ?" cried the colonel. " I must do my dnty," said tbe police offi¬ cer, approaching Gerard. " And for authority —you need not suppoae I abonld act, if with¬ out it."
" Allow me to underatand first," remarked Gerard, haughtily eluding the officer. "Which ia it for ?   What ia tbe aum total ?"
"Two handred and fifty pounds," growled the colonel. " But if you are thinking to compromise it in tbat way, yonng air, you will find yourself miataken."
"Ob, no fear," retorted Gerard; "I have not two handred and fifty pence. Let me see; it mast be Dobb's. A hundred and sixty- how on earth do they slide the expenses up. I did it, sir, to oblige a friend."
"The deuce yon did I " ech^d the colonel, who but Httle understood the speeoh, except the last sentence. "If ever I saw auoh a cool villain in all my experience 1"
" He was awfully bard up," went on Ger¬ ard, " as bad aa I am now ; and I did it. I don't deny having done such thinga on my own account, but from this particular .one I did not benefit a sbiiiiug."
His cool assurance, and his words, struck them witb consternation.
" Dobbs said he'd take care I shonld be put to no inconvenience—and tbia comea of it ? That's trusting your frienda. He vowed to me, this very week, tbat he had provided for the bill"
" He tbinka it's only an affair of debt I' aereamed Lady Frances Chenevix. "Oh, Gerard I" what a relief! we thougbt you were confessing."
" Yoa are not arrested for debt, sir," oried the officer, '*bnt for felony."
hf- adileii, saroaatloally.
" Off witb him to Marlborough street, officer," cried the exasperated colonel^ "and I'll oome with you aud prefer the charge. He scoffs at it, does he ?"
" Tes, tbat I do," answered Gerard ; " for whatever pitfalls I may bave got into, in the way of debt and carelessness, I have not gone ; into orime."
" You are accused, sir," said the officer, "of stealing a diamond bracelet."
" Hey I" uttered Gerard, a flash of intelli¬ gence riaing to hia face as he glanced at Alice. " I might have guessed it was the bracelet affair if I had had my reoolleotions about me."
"Oh, ho," triumphed the colonel, in sneer¬ ing jocularity, "ao yon expeoted it waa the bracelet did yon ? We ahall have it all out j preaently,"
" I beard of the bracelet's disappearance," said Mr. Hope. " I met Misa Seaton when sbe was out this moming, and she told me ft was gone."
"Bettermake no admissions," whispered tbe officer in his ear. " They may be used againat you."
"Whateveradmissions Imay make, yon are at liberty to use them, for they are truth,** haughtily retumed Gerard. " Is it possible that you do suspect me of taking the brace¬ let, or is thia a joke ?"
" Allow me to explain," panted Alice Btep¬ ping forward. " I—I—did not accuse you, Mr. Hope; I wonld uot have mentioned yoar name in oonnexion with it, because 1 am aure you are inuooent; but when it waa discovered that you had been here, I could not deny it."
" The charging me with having taken it ia absurdly preposterous," exclaimed Gerard, looking first at bis unole and tben at the officer.    "Who aecasea me ?"
"I do," said the colonel.
" Then I am very sorry it is not some one else inatead of you, sir."
" Explain.    Wby ?"
"Because they abonld get a kindly horse- | whipping."
"Gerard," interrupted Lady Sarah, "do not treat it in that light way. If you did take it, say so, and you shall be forgiven. I am sure you must havebeen pnt to it terribly hard; only confess it, and tbe matter shall be hushed up."
'¦ No it shan't, my lady," cried the colonel. "Iwill not have him encouraged—I mean, felony compounded."
"It shall," retarned Lady Sarah—"It shall indeed. The bracelet waa mine, and I have a right to do as Iplease. Believe me, Gerard, I will pnt up with the loss withont a mur¬ mur ; only confess, and let the worry be done wilh."
Gerard Hope looked at her—little trace of shame was there iu his oountenance. "Lady Sarah," be asked in a deep tone, "can you indeed deem me capable of taking yonr bracelet?"
" The bracelet was there, sir; aud it went; aud you cau't deny it," uttered the colonel.
"It was there, fast enongh," answered Gerard. "I held it in my baud for two or three minutes, aud was talking to Misa St^aton about it. I was wishing it was mine, aud saying wbat I shonld do wilh it."
"Ob, Mr. Hope, pray say no more," invo¬ luntarily interrupted Alice. "You will make appearances worse."
" What do you want to screen him for ?'• impetuously broke forth the colonel, turning npon Alice." Let him aay what he was going to say."
" I do not know why I should uot say it," Gerard Hope answered, in, it must be thougbti a spirit of recklessnes.4 or bravado, which he disdained to check. "I said I should spout it."
"You'll send offto every pawnshop in the metropolis, before tbe night's over, Mr. Offi¬ cer," cried the choking colonel,  breathless ' shook his head.    " One cau't help liking him with rage.    "Thia beata brass."
" But I did not take it any the more for having said that," put in Gerard, in a graver tone.    "The remark migbt bave beeu made
Prancet Chenevix. " Colonel, If you were to press the obarge against Gerard, I would go before tbe magistrate and proolalm myself the thief. I vow and protest I would ; jnat to save him ; aud you aud Lady Sarah could not prosHOUte me, yoa know."
"You 'lo well to stand np for bimi" retort¬ ed the colonel. "You would not be quite so ready to do it, tbougb, my Lady Fanny, if yon knew something I cobid tell you."
"Ob, yea I should," returned the young la¬ dy, with a vivid blush*
Tbe colonel, beset on all aides, had no cboice but to aubmit; but he did so witb an ill grace, and dashed out of the room with the officer, aa fiercely as if he had been oharging an ene¬ my at full tilt. "The sentimental apes theae women make of themaelveal" cried he, inhis polite way, when be had got him private.— "la it not a clear caae of guilt ?"
"In my private opinion, it certainly ia," was the reply ; "though he carriea it with a high hand. I auppose, colonel, you atill wiah the bracelet to be searched for?"
"Search in and out, high and low; aearch everywhere. The rascal! to dare to even enter my house in secret!"
"May I inquire if the previous breach with your nephew had to do with mouey affairs ?"
"No," aaid the colonel, turning more cmsty at the thoughts called np. "I fixed upon a wife for bim, andhe wouldn't have her; so I turned him out of doors and stopped hia al¬ lowance."
"Oh," waa the only comment of the police officer.
CHAPTER III.
It was in the following week, and Saturday night. Thomas, w ithout his hat, was stand¬ ing at Colonel Hope's door, chatting to an ao- qnaintance, when he peroieved Gerard oome tearing up the street. Thomas' friend back¬ ed againat the rails and the spikes, and Thom¬ as himself atood with the door in his hand, ready to tonoh hia hair to Mr. Gerard aa he paaaed. Instead of pasaing, however, Gerard cleared the steps at a bound, pulled Thomas with himself inside, shut the door and doa¬ ble-locked it.
Thomas was surprised in all waya. Not only at Mr. Hope's coming in at all, for the colonel had again harshly forbidden tbe house to bim, aud the aervanta to admit him, but at tbe suddenness and strangeness of the aotion.
"Cleverly done." quoth Gerard, when he could get his hreath. "I aaw a shark after me, Tbomas, and had to make a bolt for it.— Your having been at the door saved me."
Thomaa tumed pale. "Mr. Gerard, you have locked it, and I'll put up the cbain, if you order me, but I'm afeared it's going again the law to keep out them deteotives by force of arms."
" What's tbe man's head running on now?" returned Gerard. "There are no detectives after me—it was only a seedy sheriff's officer. Pshaw, Thomas I there'a no worse orime at¬ taching to me than a slight snapicion of debt."
" I'm sure I trust not, sir; only master will have hia owu way."
" Is be at home ?"
" He is gone to the opera with my lady.— The young ladies are up stairs alone. Mias Seaton has beeu ill, air, ever since the .bother, and lady Frauces is staying at home with her."
" I'll go up and see them. If they are at tbe opera, we sball be snug and safe."
" Oh, Mr. Gerard, had you better go np, do you think?" the man ventared to remark.— " If the colonel should come to hear of it "
"How cau he? Yon are not going to tell him, and I am sure tbey will not. Besides, there's no help for it; I oan't go out again for hours. And, Thomas, ahould auy demou knock and ask for me, I am gone to—to—an evening party up at Putney; went out, you know, by the aide door.
by any one, from a dnke downwards, if re^ duced to bid last shifts, as I am. I said ifit were mine; I did not aay I would steal to do it.    Nor did I."
" I saw him put it down again," said Alice Seaton, in a calm, steady voice.
"Allow me to speak a word, colonel," re¬ aumed Lady Sarah, interrupting aometbing her husband was abont to say. "Gerard—I cannot believe you guilty ; but consider the circumstances. The bracelet was tbere: you acknowledge it: Miss Seaton left the apart¬ ment wben you did, and went into the front room; yet when I came up from dinner it was there no longer."
The colonel would speak. "So it lies be¬ tweeu you and Miss Seaton," he pnt in.— "Perhaps you would like to make believe she appropriated it."
"No," answered Gerard, with a flashing eye. " She cannot be doubted. I would rather take the guilt upou myself tban allow ber to be suspected. Believe me, Lady Sarah, we are both innocent."
"The bracelet could not have gone without hands to take it, Gerard," replied Lady Sarah. "How else do you account for its disappear¬ ance?"
"I believe there muat be some misappre- sion, some great mistake in the affair alto¬ gether. Lady Sarah. It appears incompre¬ hensible now, but it will be unraveled."
"Ay, and in double quick time," wrath¬ fully exclaimed the colonel. "You must think you are talking to a pack of idiots, Muster Gerard. Here the bracelet was spread temptingly out on a table, you went into the room, beiog hard up for mouey, .fingered it, wished for it, and both you aud the braoelet disappeared. Sir"—turning aharply round to the officer—" did a clearer case ever go be¬ fore a jory?"
Gerard Hope bit hia Up. "Be more just, colonel," aaid he. " Yourown brother's aon ateal a bracelet!"
" And I am bappy my brother's not alive lo know it," rejoined the colonel, in an ob¬ stinate tone. " Take him in band, Mr. OM^ cer, we'll go  to Marlborough street.    " I'll
juat change my coat and "
" No, no, you will net," cried Lady Sarah, laying hold ot the dressing gown and the col¬ onel in it; "you shall not go, nor Gerard ei¬ ther. Whether be is guilty or uot, it must uot be brought against him publicly. He bears your name, colonel, and ao do I, and it would reflect disgrace on us all."
"Perhapa yoa are made of mouey, my la¬ dy. If so, you may put up with the loss of a two hnndred and fifty guinea bracelet. I dont chose to do ao."
" Then, colonel, you will; aud you must, Sir," added Lady Sarab, to the detective, "we are obliged to you for your atteudance and advice, bnt it turns out to be a family affair, as you perceive, and we most decline to pros¬ ecute. Besides, Mr. Hope may not be guilty." Alice roae aud stood before Colonel Hope. " Sir, if this charge were preferred againat your nephew, if it came to trial, I think it would kill me. You know my nufortanate atate of health; tbe agitation, the excitement of appearing to give evidence would be—I—I cannot continne; I cannot speak of it without terror; I pray you for iay sake, do not preseut Mr. Hope."
The colonel was about to storm forth an answer, but her -white face, her heaving tbroat, bad some effect even on him. " He ia so doggedly obstinate, Miaa Seaton, if he would but confeaa and tell where it is, per¬ haps I'd let him off."
Alice thought somebody else waa obstinate. " I do not believe he has any thing to con¬ fess," sbe deliberately aaid, " I truly believe that be haa not. He could not have taken it, unaeen by me; aud when we quitted the room I feel anre the bracelet was left in it.'*
" It was left in it, ao help me Heaven I" nt- tered Gerard. "And now I have got to speak," added
pened to be oonvenlently at the door, and I ruahed in and saved myself."
" A Bhark 1" uttered Alioe, in dismay, who lu her experience had taken the words liter¬ ally—"a shark in tbe Btreet I" Lady Frances : Chenevix laughed.
" Oue with aharp eyes and a hooked nose, Alioe. speeding after me on two legs, with a polite Invitation from one of the law loYda.— He ia watohing outside now."
" How shall yon get away ?" exclaimed Lady Frances.
" If the bashaw comes home before twelve, Thomas maet dispose of me somewhere in the lower regions; Sunday is free for us thank goodneaa. So please to make the moat of me, both of you, for it ia the laat time you will have the privilege. By the way, Fanny, will yon do me a favor ? There uaed to be a little book of mine.in the glaaa book caae, in the library ; my name in it, and a mottled cover; I wiah yon would go and find it for me."
Lady Frances left the room with alacrity. Gerard immediately bent over Alice, and his tone changed,      V
" I have aent ber away on purpose. She'll be half an hour rumaging, for I have not seen tbe book tbere for ages. Alice, one word before we part. Yoa must know that it waa for your sake I refused the marriage proposed to me by my nnole; you will not let me go'into banishment without a word of hope: a promise of yoar love to lighten it." " Ob, Gerard," ahe eagerly said, "I am so glad you have spoken; I almost think I ahoald have spoken myself, if you had not. Just look at me."
" I am looking at you," he fondly anawer¬ ed. <
" Then look at my bectio face; my con¬ stantly tired limba; my aickly handa; do they not plainly tell you that the topics you would speak of must be barred topics to me?'' " Why should they? You willget atronger." "Never.   There is no hope of it.   Many yeara ago, when the illneaa first came npon me, the doctors  said  I might grow better with time ; but the time haa come, and come, and come, and—gone ; and  only left me a more confirmed invalid.   To an old age I cannot live ; most probably but a few years ; aak youraelf, Gerard, if I am one who ought to marry,  and leave behiud  a haaband to regret me; perhaps children.    No, no." " You are crael, Alice," •' The cruelty would be, if I selfishly allowed you to talk of love to me; or, still more sel¬ fishly, let you cherish hopes that I would marry.   Wben you hinted at this the other evening when tbe wretched bracelet was lost, | I reproached my sel f with cowardice, in not an¬ swering more plainly tban you had spoken. I ahould have told you, Gerard, as I tell you now, that noihing, no persuasion from the deat-est peraon on earth, shall ever induce me to marry." "You dislike me, I aee that." "I did not say so," anawered Alice, with a glowing check.    " I think it very possible that—if I could ever allow myaelf to dwell ou I such thinga—I should like you very much ; I perhapa better than I could like any one." " And why will you not?" he persuaaively uttered.
'' Gerard, I have told you. I am too weak aud aickly to be other than I am. It would be a siu in me to indulge hopes of it; it would only be deceiving myself and you. No, Ger¬ ard, my love and hopes must lie elsewhere." " Where?" he eagerly asked. Alice pointed upwards. "I am learning to look upon it as my home," she whispered, "and I muat not suffer hindrances to obscure the way. It will ba a better home than even your love, Gerard."
Gerard Hope smiled.     " Even theu, my love: Alice, yon like me more than you ad- Thomas watched him run up the ataira, and ; ™it.   ^naay your words, my deare.st, and
give me hope." with it all; thongb where could the bracelet ,     " ^o "o* ^ex me," she resumed, in a pained have gone to, if he didn't take it ?" ; ^°^^ I " ^o not seek to turn me from my duty.
The drawing-rooma were empty, and Gerard i I—I—though I acarcely like to speak of these made his way to a small room that Lady Sa- ; scored things, Gerard—I have put my hand on rah oalled her " boudoir." There they were— ; ^he plough j even you cannot turn me back.' Alice buried in the pillowt of an invalid chair, j He did not auswer; he only played with and Lady Frances careering about the room, j the hand he held betweeu both of bis. apparently practising some new dancing step, j "Tell me one thing, Gerard—it will be She did not see him ; Gerard danced up to her i safe.

and took ber hand, and joined in it.
"Oh!" she cried, with a little scream of surprise, " you ! Well, I have stayed at home to aome purpose. But how could you think of venturing withiu these aacred and forbid¬ den walls ? Do yoa forget that the colonel threatens us with the terrors of the law, if we suffer it ?   You are a bold man, Gerard."
" When the cat's away, the mice can play," | will, cried Gerard, treating to a pas seul.
"Mr. Hope!" remonstrated Alice, lifting her feeble voice, "how can you indulge these spirits while things are so miserable ?"
"Sighing and groaning won't make them light," he answered, sitting down on a sofa near to Alice.   " Here's a seat for you, Fanny
Chenevix ?'
He contracted his brow, aud nodded.
" And you could refuse her ! You must leam to love her, for ahe would make you a good wife."
" Muoh chance tbere is uow of my making a wife of any one."
Oh, this will blow over in time; I feel it
Meanwhile-
" Meanwhile you destroy every hopefn| feeliug I thonght to take to cheer me in my exile," was hia impatient interruption. " I love alone, Alice; I have loved you for months, truly, fervently, and I know yon must have seen it."
" Love me still, Gerard," she softly answer- come along," be added, pulling Frances to hia : ed; " bnt not with the love you would give Bide.   "Firstandforemoatjbasanythingcome I to one of earth;  the love yoa will give—I
to light about that mysterious bracelet ?'
"Not yet," sighed Alice. " But I have no rest: I am in hourly fear of it."
"fear/" uttered Gerard, in astonishment. Alice winced, and leaned her head npon her hand ; sbe apoke in a low tone.
" You must understand what I mean, Mr. Hope. The .iffair has been productive of so much pain and annoyance to me, that I wish it could be ignored forever."
"Thougb it left me nnder a cloud," said Gerard. " You muat pardon me if I oannot agree with you. My constant hope is tbat it may all come to daylight; I assure you I have specially mentioned it in my prayers." " Pray don't, Mr. Hope!" reproved Alice. " I'm sure I have cause to mention it, for it is Bending me into exile: that aud other things."
" It is the guilty only who flee, not the in¬ nocent," said Francea. "You don't mean what yon aay, Gerard."
" Don't I. There'a a certain boat advertised to steam from London bridgewharf to-morrow wind and weather permitting, and it steams me with it. I am compelled to fly my coun¬ try."
" Be serious, and say what you mean." " Seriously, then, I am over head aud ears in debt.. You know my uncle stopped my al¬ lowance in the apring, and seut me—meta. phorically—to the doga. It got wind; ill newa alwaya does; I had a few liabilities, aud they have all come dowTi upon me. Bnt ior this confouuded bracelet affair, there's no doubt the colonel wonld have settled them^ rather than let the name of Hope be dubious¬ ly bandied by the public; he would have ex¬ pended his ire in growls, and then gone and done it. But that is over now ; and I go to take up my abode in some renowned colony for desolate English, beyond tbe pale of Brit¬ ish lock-ups. Boulogne, or Calais, or Diep¬ pe, or Brussels ; I shall aee : and there I may be kept for years."
Neither of tbe yonng ladies answered im¬ mediately ; they saw the facts were serious, and tbat Gerard was only making light of it before them.
" How ahall you live?" queationed Alice. "You must live there as well as here—yoa cannot starve."
"Ishall jnat eacape the starving. I have got a trifle ; enough to swear by, and keep me on pototnes and aalt. Don't you envy me my proapecls ?"
" When do you suppose yoa may retara ?', inquired Lady Frances. "I aak it aeriooaly Gerard." '
"I know no more than yon, Fanny.   Ihave no expectations bnt from tbe colonel.   Should he never relent, I am oaged there for good." "And so you have ventured hero to tell us thia, and bid ua good by ?'
" No 11 never thoaght of venturing here— how oould I tell that the bashaw wpuld ba at the opeta ? A shark aet pn me in the street and I had to run for my life.   Thomaa hap-
liope—to Francea Chenevix.    Think of me as one rapidly going—aoon to be gone."
"Oh, not yet!" he tjried in au imploring tone, as if it were as she willed.
"Not juat yet; I hope to see you return from exile. Let ua say fareweU while we are alone."
She apoke the laat sentence hurriedly, for footstepa were heard. Gerard snatched her to him, and laid his faoe upon hera.
"What cover did you aay the book had ?" demanded Francea Chenevix of Gerard, who was then leaning back on the aofa, apparently waiting for her, "A mottled ? I cannot see one anything like it."
"No? I am aorry to have given you the tronble, Fanny. It has gone, perhapa amongst tbe 'have-beena.'"
"Listen." said Alice, removing her hand from before her face, 'that was a carriage stopped.   Can they be come home?"
Frances and Gerard flew into the next room, whence the street conld be aeen. A oarriage had atopped, bnt not at their house. "It is too early for them yet," aaid Gerard.
"I am sorry thinga go ao crosa just now with you, Gerard," whispered Lady Frances. "Yon will be very dull, over there."
" Ay; fit to bang myself, if you knew all.— And the bracelet may tnrn up, and Lady Sarah be sporting it on her arm again, and I never know that the cloud is off me. No chance tbat any ofyon will be at tbe tronble of writing to a fellow."
"Iwill," aaid Lady Frances. "Whether the bracelet turna up or not I will write to you aometimes, if you like, Gerard, and give you all the news."
" You are a good girl, Fanny," retumed he, in a brighter accent, "and I will send yon my address as soon as I have got one. Yon are not to tum proud, mind, and be offthe bar gain, ifyou flnd ita au cinquieme."
Francea laughed. "Take care of yourself, Gerard."
So Gerard Hope got olear off into exile. Did he pay his expenses with the proceeds of the diamond bracelet ?
[to be COSTISUBD.l
In OUT last arlicie we held that teachers were often reprehensible for tbeir conduct towards their pnpils ; and many are the par¬ ents that will say "amen" to that. Still carrying ont the doctrine, "let vs blame others all we can, but don't attach any blame to us.' Now. censurable as we ofteu are, as teachers, —and we do not wish to offer an apology for all our omissions and commissions—yet there ifl another side to the picture. Parents may do that which will seriously interfere with the proper progress of the pupila.
In the consideration of this subject, we wonld humbly and earnestly desire, to so reach the parent's miud as to iuduce one-half hour's serious reflection upon it. Not only for the teacber^s benefit, but for the all importaut and etemal benefit, it would be to their own children's welfare. We are satisfied that the great error in tbis matter is caused more by want of thought, than from any want of feeling ; or interest in it. Aa parents, do we not allow ' too many frivolous and unwarrantable "needs" to intervene, to keep onr children from school? Are they not many times kept from achool, to do those little errands, whiuh could be done just as well before achool, or after school in tbe evening ? Then an excuse must be sent to the teacher, when next the child appears at
scbool; " Pleaae excuse J ,. as he was
needed at home," or " Pleaae excuse S , as
she had to do some errands for her mother." Bnt is this aU the excuse tbat is necessary ?—
Tbis may excuae the  absence of J and
S to the teacher, so that their seats may
not be forfeited. But to whom must tbe ex¬ cuses be given for their missed lessons ? Tbere is something lost, that cannot be so easily accounted for. Is tbere no one responsible for this ? If the children mias the lessons for two, three or four days, is thia not to be looked after or to be considered of auy consequence? n a parent should neglect to give its child food for three or four days, though it might be ouly an infant of no pecuniary benefit to its parenta ortbe communityatlarge,yetifknown, how soon would somebody be seeing into tbe matter and bring the negligent parent to justice, to receive condign punishment for such neglect_ Aud here, day after day we may keep our children at home, to the great sacrifice of their mind's improvement, and be as easy about it, as though we were no more responsible for it^ than puasy who is asleep behind the stove.
If parents are so careless about the matter how cau tbey reasonably expect their children to be otherwise. When a child is not only allowed to miss its lessons frequently, but ia enconraged to do so, unnecessarily by the parent, ttie natural consequence is, the child soon gets behind in the class aud mnst be tumed back, or kept mnch longer in the same class while its mates are transferred to a higher class, and because the cbild is not fit to be transferred the teacher is accused of partiality or blamed for the want of tbe child's proper improvement.
Charies is kept out of school a couple of months and then sent again. The teacher finds bim unfit to reenter the class where he form¬ erly belonged, aud accordingly is placed in tbe 2nd class. This displeases the boy very much. He thinks he is unjustly treated, to be placed in the 2nd class, after having been in the 1st class for some time, when he attended the scbool before. He goes bome full of the insur offered to his dignity, and presents his griev¬ ances to his sympathizing mother. She does not stop to consider, that either the pupils of his class at scbool bave not been learning any duriug Charlie's absence, or, tbat Charlie has beeu learning just as fast out of school; and that according to this tbeory, it is no use for her Charlie to go to school. Oh ! no, she does not think of tbis, but insists that her Chariie should be again installed in his proper class ; as though he had been improving with every lesson and lost nothing by his absence. And when she finds the teacher does uot feel williug that the class should be injured or retarded by his presence in it, and places him in tbe 2ud class, she takes liim from school, saying " it is no use in sending her boy to school to be put in tbe 2nd class for he can'tleara anything there." What then becomes of the child's education ? Is there no responsibility in this matter ?
We think there is a deep, a heavy, au awful responsibility in this matter. You, who keep your children ont of school for every little, frivolous pretext, are but preparing your children for the street college ; there to gradu¬ ate in all tbe crimes and vices, given in gratn. itous lessons, on tavem corners and in beer saloons. You, are responsible for the future miserable lives and characters ofyour illtreat¬ ed children. And when tbey grow up and you may deem them ungrateful, tbey can jnstly tum their finger upon you and say, "you have not done that to us, for which we can be thankful!" Oh, ye parents, take timely wam¬ ing. Look upon those who have preceeded you, and " having sowed tbe wind, are now reaping the whirlwind." Look well to this matter, for there is a double interest involved. yonr own as well as your children's present and etemal welfare is deeply concerned.

DEEDS—NOT WORDS.
A poor old mau, with garments torn.
And fluttering lu tba gale. Game to my door one wintry day.
And told a pUoons tale.
Of hunger, oold and misery. And craved my friendly aid,
I felt a glow of charity. And dtttng ftUBWor made.
** Ah, sad Indeed It is to want For raiment and for bread;
Go, go in peace, may thou be warmed. And be thon clothed and fed."
Ha looked at me, and shivering Baid. aa sad ha inrn'd away,
" May yon ne'er know the suffering That has been mine to-day;
And feei that not more sympathy. Though iu soft accents told.
Can loose the graap of poverty, Or shield from winter*! cold:
5«'er learn to mnnnar bitterly.
In soma aad honr of need, ffliid word* ar* bot * mookaiy,
WiUwut tha kliKUy deed."
