XHE DIAMOND BRACELET. CHAPTER I. The afternoon of :i hot June day was draw¬ ing towanis r^vKiiiiig, aud flie great world of Loudou—l(ir il was the lieight Of the ssason— weiH br-i^ii ning lo ihiiik of dinner. In a well faruisheii dressiiii^-rooin, the windows being opeu for air, and the blinds drawn down to exclude tbe sun, stood a lady, whose maid- was giving the last toui;h to her rich attire. It wai Lady Sarah Hupf.
'¦What bracelets, luy lady?" asked the maid, taking a small buuck of keys from her pocket,
"Noue now: it is so very bot. Alice^" added Lady Sarah, taming to a yoang lady, who was leaning back ona sofa, " bave them ready displayed for me when I come np, and I will decide then."
" I havH them ready, Lady Sarah?"retnrned Miss Seaton.
" Ifyou wiii be so kind", Hoi^hes, give the key to Miss Saaton."
Lady Sarah left the room, andthe maid, Hughes, began takiug oue of the small keys oir the ring. "Ihave got leave to go out, miss," sheexplained, '* aud am goiug directlj My mother is not well, and wants to see me. This is lhe key, miss."
As Miss Seaiou took it, Lady Sarah re-ap¬ peared at the door. " Alice, you may as well brine the jewel-bos down to the hack drawing- room. I shall not care to come up here after dinner; we shall be late, as it is."
" What's tbat about a jewel-box?" inquired a pretty looking girl, who had come from another apartment.   -
"Lady Sarah wishes me to briug her brace¬ lets down to the drawing-room, that she may- choose which to pnt on. It was too hot to dine in them, she said."
" Are you not coming in to dinner to-day, Alice ?"
"K"o. I walked out, and it has tired me, as usual.   I hav© had some tea instead."
"I would not be you for all the world, Alice! To possess eo little capability of en¬ joying life."
" Yet ifyou were as I am, weak in health and strength, your lot would have beeu so soothed to you, that you would not repine at or regret it."
"You mean that I should be content," laughed the young lady. " Well, there is nothing like contentment, the sages tell us. One of my detestable school-room copies used to ba 'Contentment is happiness.'"
" I can hear the dinner beiug taken in," said Alice; "you will be late in the drawiug- room."
Lady Frances Chenevix turned away to fly down the stairs, ber light, rounded form, her elastic step, all telling of health and en- joymen:, presented a marked contrast to that of Alice Seaton. Alice's face was indeed strangely beautiful, almost too refined and dehcate for tbe wear and tear of common life, bnt her figur** was weak aud stooping, and her gait feeble. Of esceedincly good family, she had been suddeuiy thrown from her nat¬ ural position of wealth and comfort to com¬ parative povery, aud had found refuge as "companion" to L;idy Sarah Hope.
Colonel Hope was a thin, spare mau, with sharp brown eyes and sharp features, looking so shrunk and short tbat ho must have heen smuggled iulo ihe army under height; unless he had sini;e bnen growing downwards. No strauger could have believed him at ease in Lis circamstances. anymore than they would have believed him a colonel wbo had seen service in India, forhis clothes were frequent¬ ly threadbare. A black ribbon supplied the place of a gold chain as gnard to his watch, aud a blue tin looking tbing of a galvanized ring did duty for any other ring ou bia finger. Yet be was rich ; of falmlous riches, people said; buthe was ofa close disposition, t-spe- ctally as regarded hi.^ personal outlay. In his home and to his wife he waa liberal.— Tbey had been married several years, but had no clitldn'U, aud his large property was not entailed: it was believed tbat his nephew, Gerard Hope, wonld inherit it, but some dis¬ pute had recently occurred, aud Gerard had beeu turned from the bouse. Lady Frances . Chenevix, the sister of Lady Sarah, bnt cou- fiidijrahly yonuger, had beeu paying th^m au eight mouth's visit in the country, and now come np to town with them.
Alice Seaton lay on  tbe sofa for half an hour, and then, taking the bracelet-box in her hands, dtjscended to the drawiug-rooms. I It was intensely hot, asuUry, breathless beat, l and Alice threw open the back window, which iu truth made it hotter, for the sun gleamed right athwart the leads which 3tretche<l them¬ selves beyoud the window, over the out build- ' ing at the back of tbe row of houses.
She sat down near this back window, aud began to put out sorae ofthe bracelets ou the table bt'fore it. They were rare aud rich; of plain gold, of silver, of pearl, of precious stones. One of theiu was of gold links stud¬ ded with diamonds ; it was very valaable, and had been tbe present of Colonel Hope to hta wife on her recent birthday. Another diamond bracelet was there, but it was not so beauti¬ ful or so costly as this. Whea her task was done, Miss Seaton passed into the front draw¬ ing room, aud threw up one of its large win¬ dows.   SliU there was no air in the room.
As she atood at it, a handsome yoang man, tall and powerful, whb was walking on the opposite side of the street, caught ber eye.— He nodded, hesitated, and then crossed the street, as if to enter.
" It is Gerard 1" ottered Alice, nnder her breath. "Can he be coming here?" She walked away from the window hastily, and sat down by the bedecked table in tbe other room.
"JuBtas I supposed 1" exclaimed Gerard Hope, tmtering, and advancing to Alioe with
stealthy ateps. "WhenI sav yott at the win- don the thought atraok me tbat yon vere alone here, and tbey at dinner. Thomas hap¬ pened to be airin;; bimself at the dooTt 80 I crossed, aud asked him ; and oame np. How are yon, Alice f"
"Have yoa come to dinner?" inquired Alice, speaking at random, and angry at ber own agitation.
" / come to dinner 1" repeated Mr. Hope. "Why yoa know they'd as soon sit down with the hang man.'.'
"Indeed I kuow notbing abont it. I waa in hopes yon and the colonel migbt be recon¬ ciled. Wby did yoa come in ? Tbomas will tell." ^
" No be won't. I told bim not. Alice, the idea of yoar never coming up till Jane I Some whim of Lady Sarah's, I suppose. Two or three times a week for the last month have I been marching past bis house, wondering wheu it was going to sbow signs ol life. Is Frances here still ?"
"OKyes; she ia going to remain some time."
"To make up for Alioe, was it not a
ahame to turn me out?"
"I was extremely sorry for what happened, Mr. Hope, but I kuew nothiug of the details. Lady Sarah said you had displeased tbe col¬ onel, and after that she never mentioned you name."
"What a sbow of smart thinga you have got here, Alicel" Are you going to set up a bazaar ?" "They are Lady Sarah's bracelets." " So they are, I see I This is a gem," ad¬ ded Mr. Hope, taking np the fine diamond bracelet already mentioued. " I don't remem¬ ber this oue."
" It is new. The colonel has jast given it to her."
"What did it cost?" Alice Seaton laughed.   *' Do yoo  tbink I ara likely to know ? I qnestion if Lady Sarah beard, herself."
"It never coat a farthing less than two hundred guineas," mused Mr. Hope, tnrning the bracelet in various directions that its rich diamonds might give out their gleaming light. " I wish it was mine."
"WbatKhoaldyondo  with it ?"  laughed Alice. "Spout it."
"I do not understand," retnrned Alice. She really did not.
'"I beg your pardon, Alice. I was thinking of the colloquial lingo  familiarly applied to such transactions, instead of to whom I was talking.   I meant raise money upou it." "Oh, Mr. Hope!"
"Alice, that's twice you have called me * Mr. Hope,' I thoaght I was ' Gerard ' to you before I went away."
"Time haa elapsed -ince, and you seem like a stranger again," retnrned Alice, a flush rising to her sensitive face. " But you spoke of raising money—I bope you are not in tem¬ porary embarrassment."
"A jolly good thiug for me if it turns out only temporary," he rejoiued. " Look at my poaitiou! Debts hanging over my head—for you may be sure, Alice, all yonng men, with a limited allowance and large expectatioui-j contract tbem—and, thrust out of my ancle's home with tbH loose cash I bad in my pock¬ ets, aud my clothes sent after me."
" Has the Colonel stopped your allowance?" Mr.  Hope laid down   the bracelet   from whence he had takeu it, before he replied.
" He stopped it then ; and I have not had a shilling aince, except from myown resources, 1 firat Wont upon tick ; then I disposed of my watch and cbain, and all the other little mat¬ ters of value ; and qow I am upou tick again." " Upon what ?" uttered Alice. " Yoa dou't understand these free terms, Alice," he said, looking fondly at her, " and I hope you may never have occasion. Fran¬ ces would; she has lived in their atmos¬ pbere."
" Yes, I know what an embarrassed man the earl is, if you allude to that. But I am grieved to hear about yourself. Is tbe colo¬ nel implacable ? What was tbe cause of the quarrel ?"
"You know I was to be his heir. Even if children bad come to him, he bad undertaken amply to provide for me. Last Cbristmas he saddenly eent for me, and told me 'twas his pleasure and Lady Sarah's that I shoald lake up my abode with them. So I did, glad to get iuto such good quarters, and stopped there, like au iunocent, unsuspicious lamb, till—when was it, Alice?—April. Then the plot came out. Tbey had fixed upou a wife for me, and I was to hold myself iu readiness to marry her at any given moment."
"Who was it?" inquired Alice, in a low tone, as she bent ber head over the bracelets. " Never miud," laughed Mr. Hope, " it wasn't yoa. I said I would not have ber, and they botb, he and Lady Sarah, pulled me and my want of taste to pieces, and assured me I was a monster of ingratitude. It provoked me into coufesing that I liked somebody else better, and the colonel turued me out."
Alice looked her sorrow, but ahe did not express it.
'' Aud siuce then I have been haviug a fight with my creditors, putting them off with fair words ai-d promisea. Eut they have grown iucreduloas, aud it has come tu dodging. In favor with my uncle and his acknowledged heir, they would have giveu me unlimited time aud credit, but the breach is known, and it makea all the diflerence. With tbe value of that at my disposal"—nodding at the bracelet—" I should stop some pressing per-' SDual trifles and go ou again for a while. Su you aee, Alice, a diamond bracelet may be of use eveu to a geutleman, should some genia' fortune drop such into bis bauds."
"I sympathise witb you very much," aaid Alice, " aud I wish I bad it iu my power to aid you."
"Thauk you for kind wi.sbes; I kuow they are genuine. Wben my uncle sees tbe name of Gerard Hope figuring in the insolvent list or amongst tbe outlaws, be—Hark I cau tbey be coming ap from dinner ?"
" Scarcely yet," aaid Alice, starting up Rim. ultaneously with himself, and listening. " But they will not sit long to-day, becau.se they are going to tbe opera. Gerard, they must uot find yoa here."
" And get you turued out aa well as my¬ aelf 1 No, not if I can help it. Alice I"—aud- deuly laying his hands upon her shoulders, aud gazing down into her eyes—" do yon kuow who it was I had learut to love inatead of—of tbe other ?"
She gasped for breath, and her color went and came. " No—no ; do not tell me, Gerard.'* "Wby no, I bad better not, nnder present circumstances, bnt when the good time comes —for all tbeir higb-roped indignation must and will blow over—Men Iwill; and here's the pledge of it." He bent his bead, took one long earnest kiss from her lipa, aud was gone. Agitated almost to sickness, trembling and confused, Alice stole to look after him, terri¬ fied lest he migbt not escape unseen. She crept partly down the stairs, ao as to obtain sight of the hall door, aud make sure that he had got out iu safety. As he drew it open there atood a lady just about to knock. She aaid something to-him, and he waved bia hand toward tbe staircase. Alice saw tbat the vis ¦ itor was her sister, a lady well married, aud moviug in the fashionable world. She met ber, and took her into tbe front drawing- room.
" I cannot stay to sit down, Alice ; I must make haste back to dress, for I am engaged to three or four places to-night. Neither do I wisb to horrify Lady Sarah with a viait at this untoward hour. I had a request to make of yon, and thougbt to catch yon before you went in to dinner."
"Tbey are alone, and are dining earlier than nsual. I was too tired to appear. What can I do for you ?"
" In one word—^I am in pressing need for a little money.   Can you lend it me ?'
very Borry. 'I sent all I bad to poor mamma the day before we camo to town. It was only twenty-five pounds."
"Tbat would have been of no nse to me: I want more. I thongbt if ^ou bad been miser- lug up your salary yon might have had a hundred pounds or so by yen,"
Alice shook ber bead. " I shoald be a long while, saving np a handred pounds, even if dear mamma had no wants. But I send to ber wbat I can spare. Do not be in sncb a harry," continued Alice, as her sister was moving to the door. "At least wait one minute wbile I fetch you a letter I received from mamma tbis moming, in answer Ut mine. Yon will like to read it, for it is full of news abont tbe old place. You oan take it bome with yon."
Alice left her aiater atanding in the room and went np staira. Bnt abe was more tban oue minate away ; sbe was three or four, for she could not at first lay her band upon the letter. Wben she retarned, her sister ad¬ vanced tober from the baok drawing-room, the folding-doors between the two rooms be¬ ing, aa before, wide open.
" Wbat afine collection of bracelets, Alice I" she exclaimed, as she took tbe letter. "Are tbey Bpread out for show ?"
" No," laughed Alice; " Lady Sarah ie go¬ ing to tbe opera, and will be in a hurry»wben abe comes up from diuner. Sbe asked me to bring tbem all down, as she had not deoided which to wear."   '
"I like to dress before dinner on my opera nights."
"Ob, 80 of conrse does Lady Sarah," re¬ turned Alice, as her sister descended the stairs, " but ahe said it was too hot to dine in bracelets."
" It is fearfully bot. Good by, Alice. Don't ring ; I will let myself out."
Alice returned to the front room aud looked from the window, wondering wbether ber sis¬ ter had come in her carriage. No. A trifling evening breeze waa arising and beginning to move the curtains about. Gentle aa it was, it was grateful, and Alice sat down in it. In a very few miuutea tbe ladies came up from dinner."
" Have you tbe bracelets, Alice ?   Oh, I
ing to her. "Be at the trouble, vill yon, Hughes, to take it oat of my pooket; it is on that ohair, under my olothes."
The servant oame.to the pooket, aud speed¬ ily found tbe key. "Are you worse than nsual, mias, thia moming," asked she, " or have you overslept yourself?"
"I bave overslept myself.    Is it late ?" " Between nine and ten.   My lady la up and at breakfast with master aud Jjady Fran-
Lady Sarah went into the backroom as sbe \ spoke, and stood before the table, looking at the bracelets.    Alice rose to follow ber, wben Lady Frances Chenevix cauwht her by the arm aud began to 8pe"ak in a covert whisper,
" Who waa that at the door jaat now ? It was a visitor's knock. Do you know, Alice, every hour, aince we came lo town, I have fancied Gerard might be calling. In thecoun¬ try he could not get lo us, bnt here -Was
it Gerard ?"
"It—it was my sister," carelessly answered Alice, It was not a true answer, for her sia¬ ter had not knocked, and she did not know who had. But it was the readiest tbat rose to ber lips, and she wished to eacape the questioning.
" Only your sister," sighed Francea, turn¬ ing to tbe wiudow with a gesture of diaap- pointment. ^
" Whicb have yqu pnt on ?" inquired Alice, going towards Lady Sarah.
"Tbese loose fancy things; they are tbe coolest. I really am so hot; the soup waa tbat favorite soup of the colonel's, all capsi¬ cums aud the cayenne, and the wine was hot; there had been a mistake about the ice. Hill trusted to the new man, aud he did not un¬ derstand it; it was all hot together. What the bouse willbe to-night, I dread to think of."
Lady Sarah, whilst she spoke, had been putting the bracelets into the jewel-box, with very little care.
" I had better put them straight," remarked Alice, when sbe reached tbe table.
"Donot trouble," returned Lady Sarah, shutting down the lid. " Yon are looking flashed aod feverish, Alice ; yoa were wrong to walk so far to day ; Hughes will set them to right lo-morrow morning ; they will do till then. Lock them up, and take possession of tbe key."
Alice did aa she was bid. She locked the case and put tbe key in her pocket.
"Here is the carriage," exclaimed Lady Frances.    " Are we to wait for coffee ?"
" Coffee in this heat!" retorted Lady Sarah; "it would be addiug fuel to fire. We will have some tea when we return. Alice, you mnst make lea for the colonel; he will not come out without it. He thinks the weather just what it ought to be ; rather cold, if any¬ thing."
Alice had takeu the bracelet-box in her hands as Lady Sarah spoke, aud when they departed carred it up stairs to its place in Lady Sarah's bed-room. The colonel speedily rose from tbe table, for hia wife had laid her commanda on him to join tbem ©arly. Alice helped' bim to his tea, and as soon as he was gone she went up stairs to bed.
To bed, but not to sleep. Tired as sbe was, and exhausted in frame, sleep would not corae to her. She was living over agaiu her inter¬ view witb Gerard Hope. She could not, iu ber conscious beart, affect to misauderstand his itnplied meaning—that she bad been the cauae of bis rejecting the union proposed to bim.^ It diffused a strange rapture within ber, and though perhaps sbe had not been wholly blind and unconscious duriug the period of Gerard's stay with them, abe uow kept lepeating the words, "Cau it be ? cau it be ?"
It certaiuly was so. Love plays strange pranks. There was Gerard Hope, heir to the fabulous wealth, consciously prond of hia handsome person, his herculean strength, his towering form, called borae and planted dowu by tbe side of a noble lady, on purpose that be might fall in love with her—Lady .Frances Chenevix. Aud yet, tbe well laid project failed—failed because ther« happened to be another at that young lady's aide, a sad, quiet feeble-framed girl, whose very weakness may bave seemed to place her beyond the pale of man's love. But love thrives by contraats, and it was the feeble girl who won the love oftbe strong man.
Yes ; the knowledge diffused a strange rap¬ ture within her, as sbe lay tbere tbat nigbt» and sbe may be excused if, for a brief period,; she gave rauge to the sweet fantasies it con- i jured up. For a brief period only; too soou tbe depressing conaciousnesa returned to her, that these thoughts of earthly happiness mnst be subdued, for abe, with her confirmed ail¬ ments and conscious weakness, must never bope to marry, as did otber women. She bad long known—her mother had prepared ber for it—that oue ao afflicted aud frail as ahe, | whose tenure of existence was likely to be sbort, ought not to become a wife, and it bad been ber earnest bope to paaa through life unloving aud unloved. She had striven to arm herself against tbe dauger, against being thrown into the perils of temptation. Alas I it had come insidiously upon her; all ber ciire had been set at nought; and she knew that she loved Gerard Hope witb a deep and fervent love. " It is but anotber cross," she sighed, " another burden to surmount and snbdue, aud I will set myself, from tbis uight, to the task. I bave been a coward, shrink¬ ing from self-examination ; but now tbat Ger¬ ard bas spokeu out, I can deceive myself no longer. I wish he had spoken more freely, that I might have told him it was useless."
It was ouly towards morning that Alice dropped asleep; the couaeqnence*was, that long after her usual bour for rising, she was atill sleeping. The opening of her dpor by some one, awoke ber: It was Lady Sarah's maid.
"Why miss!- are you not np! Well, I never 1 I wanted the key of tbe jewel-box, but I'd bave waited if I had kuown."
" Wbat do you aay you want ?" returned Alice, whose ideas were confused, as is often the case on being cnddenly awakened.
"The key of the bracelet-box, if you pleaae."  .
Tbe key?" repeated Alice.   "Oh, I re-
"I wish I could," retumed Alice ; "I am [ member," sbe added, ber reo'oUecUon wtra-
Alioa rose tbe instant tbe maid had left tbe room, and made baste to dress, vexed with herself for sleeping ao long. She was nearly ready when Hughes oame in again.
" If ever I saw such a confusion as that jewel-oase was ini" oried sbe, in as pert and grumbling a tone as she dared to nse. "The bracelets were thrown together withont law or order—juat as if tbey bad been so muob glass and tinsel from tbe Lowtber Arcade."
"It was Lady Sarah did ii," repUed Alice. "Iwould bave put them straight, bnt sbe said leave it for you. I thought she migbt prefer that jou sbould do it, so I did not presa it."
" Of course ber ladyship is aware there's nobody but myaelf knows how they are placed in it," retumed Hughes, consequentially. " I could go to that, or to tbe other jewel-box, in tbe dark, mias, and take outany one thing my lady wanted, witbont disturbing tbe reat."
" I bave observed that yon have tbe gift of order," remarked AUce, with a smile. " It ia very aseful to those who posaeaa it, and saves tbem from trouble and confusion."
"So it do, miss," aatd Hughes.   "But I came to ask you for the diamond bracelet." " The diamond bracelet!" echoed Alice, " What diamond bracelet ?   What  do yon mean ?" "It's not in tbe box, miss." "The diamond  bracelets are botb in tbe box," rejoiued Alice.
''The old one is tbere; not the new one. I thought yon might have taken it out to show aome oue, or to look at yourself, miss,^ for I'm sure it's a aight for tbe pleasant eyes." "I can assure you that it ia in the oaae," said Alioe. "All are tbere, except what Lady Sarah bad on. Yon must bave overlooked it."
" I muat be a great donkey if I bave," grumbled tbe girl. "It muat be at the very botiom, amongst the cotton," ahe soliloqaised, as she returued to Lady Sarah's apartments, "and I bave just got to take every individual article out, to get to it. This oomes of giving up one's keys to other folks."
Alice hastened down, begging pardon for ber late appearance. It was readily accorded. Alice's office in tbe bouse was merely a sine¬ cure ; when she had first entered upon it La¬ dy Sarah was ill, and required some one to sit with aud read to ber, bdt now that she was well again Alice had little to do.
Breakfast was scarcely over when Alioe was called from tbe room. Hughea stood outside.
"Miss," said she, witb a long face, "the diamond bracelet is not iu the box. I thought I could not be mistaken."
"Bat it mnst be in the box," said Alice, "But it's not," persisted Hughes, emphas¬ ising the negative;   "cau't you belive me, miss?   What'a gone with it?"
Alice Seaton looked at Hughes with a-puz. zled, dreamy look. She was thinking mat¬ ters over.    It soon cleared agatu.
'* Theu Lady Sarah must bave kept it ont when sbe put in the rest. It was sbe who retarned them to the case; I did not. Per¬ haps ahe wore it laat nigbt."
" No, miss, tbat sbe didn't.   She wore only
thoae two "
"I aaw what she bad on," interrupted Alice. "But she migbt also bave put on the oth^r, withont my noticing. Then she mast have kept it out for some other purpose. I will aak her. Wait here an instant, Hagbes; for of coarse yoa will like to be at a cer¬ tainty."
"That's cool," thought Hughes, as Alice went into the breakfast-room, and tbe colonel came out ofit with his newapaper. "I should bave aaid it was some body else would like to be at a certaiuty, inatead of me. Thank goodness it wasn't In my charge, last night,if anytbingjdread fal bas come to pass. My lady don*t%e6p out her bracelets for sport. Miss ; Seaton has left the keya about, that's wbat shehas done, and its bard to say wbo hasn't beeu at it; I knew tbe box had been ransack¬ ed over."
"Lady Sarah,"said Alice,   "did yon wear your new diamond bracelet laat night?" "No."
" Then did yoa put it iuto tbe box with the others?"
" No," languidly repeated Lady Sarah, at¬ taching uo importauce to the question.
"After yon bad choseu the bracelets you wished to wear, you pat the others into tbe boxyourself," explained Alice. "Did vou put in the new one, the diamond, or keep it out?"
"The diamond was not tbere." Alice stood confounded. "It was on the ta¬ ble at the back of all. Lady Sarab,''^he pres¬ ently aaid. "Next the window." ^ "I tell you, Alice, it waa not there. I don't know that I should have worn it, if it bad been, but I certainly looked for it. Not seeiug it, I supposed yoa had not put it out, L* and did not care sufficiently to ask for it."
Alice felt in a mesh of perplexity; carioua thoughts, and vory unpleasing ones, were beginning to come over her. " But, Lady Sarab, the bracelet was indeed tbere when yoa weat to the table," sbe urged. " I put it tbere."
" I can assure you tbat yoa labor under a mistake as to its being tbere when I came up from dinner," answered Lady Sarah- "Wby do you ask ?"
"Hughes has corae to say it is not in the case.    She is ontside, waiting."
"Outside, now? Hnghes," called out her ladyship; and Hughes came in. " What's tbis about my bracelet?" " I don't know, my lady. The bracelet is not iu ils place, so I asked Miss Seaton. She thought your ladyship might have kept it oat yesterd y evening."
"I neither touohed it nor aaw it," said Lady Sarah.
"Then we havehad thieves at work," de¬ cided Hughea.
"It must be in tbe box, Hughes," apoke up Alio*. "I laid it out on tbe table, and it is imposaible that thieves—aa you phrase it— could bave come there."
"Oh, yes, it is in the box, no doubt," said her ladyship, aomewhat crossly, for sbe dis¬ liked to be troubled, eapecially in bot weather. "You have not searched properly, Hughes."
" My lady," answered Hughea, " I can trust my handa aud I can trust my eyes, and tbey bave all four been into every hole and crev¬ ice of the box. "
Lady Frances Chenevix laid down the Morning Post, and advanced. " Is tbo brace¬ let really loat ?"
"It cannot be loat," returned Lady Sarah. "You are aure yoa pat it out, Alice ?"
" I am quite sure of tbat.   It waa lying
first in the oase, aud "
" Yea, it was," interrapted Hughea. " That was its place."
"And was consequently the first that I took out," continued AUce. " I put it on tbe table; and the others round it, nearer to me. Wby, aa a proof that it lay there—"
Wbat waa AUce goiug to add ? Was she going to adduce as a proof that Gerard Hope bad takeu it up, and it had been a subject of conversation between them ? If so, recolleo tion came to ber in time, and she faltered, and abruptly broke off.

" It was certainly not tbere," returned Lady Sarah.
" Perhaps you'll look for yourself now, my lady," cried Hughes, returning with the jewel- box in bar handa.
Tbe box waa weU aearcbed. The braoelet waa not tbere.
" This is very strange, Hughes," uttered Lady Sarab.
" It's very ugly as well, my lady," answer¬ ed Hughes, in a lofty tone, " and I a'ra thank-
a°d Ups. from being olear of  tbia injuatice.   If the

"Then yoa had better," said her ladyship, j     "It isa mystery.   I only left tbe room
curtly.
" If I do," returned Hn^es," I shaU offend Miss Seaton."
" No you wiU not Hughes," cried Alice.— "Say wbat you please ; I have need to wish tbis cleared np."
" Tben, miss, if I may sp^jk my thoughts, I think you must bave left the key about.— And there are strange servants in the house, you know, my lady ; there's that kitchen- maid only came in it when we did, and there's the new under butler."
" Hughes, you are wrong," interrupted Alice. "The servants could not have touohed the box, for tbe key never was out of my pos¬ session, and you know the lock is a Braraah. I locked tbe box last night in Lady Sarah's presence, and the key was not out of my pocket afterwards until you took it frora thence tbis raorniug."
" The key seems to have had uotbing to do witb it," interposed Frances Chenevix. "Alice aays she put the diamond bracelet on the table with the rest ; Lady Sarah aaya wbeu she went to the table, after dinner, it was not tbere ; so it must bave been in tbe interven¬ ing period that the—the—disappearance took place."
" And only afew minutes to do itiu I" ejac¬ ulated Lady Sarab,    "Wbat a mystery 1"
"It beata conjuring, my lady," aaid Hughea^ "Could any visitor bave come up stairs ?"
"I did hear a visitors's knock while we were at dinner," said Lady Sarah. "Don't you remember, Fanny ? You looked up, as ifyou noticed it."
" Did I ?" answered Lady Frances, in a careless tone.
At that moment Thoraas happened to enter with a letter, and tbe questiou waa   put to bim.   Wbo knocked ? Hts answer was ready. " Sir George Danvers, my lady.   When  I said the colonel was  at  diuner. Sir George begau to apologiae for calling, but! explained that you were dining earlier than uaual, be¬ cause oftbe opera." "Nobody el.se called ?" " Nobody   kuocked   but Sir George,  my lady."
" A covert answer," thought Alice ; "but I am glad he is true to Gerard."
" Wbat au untruth 1" thonght Lady Frau¬ ces, as she reraerabered the visit of Alice's sister. " Thomas's memory must be sbort." All the talk—and it was mucb prolonged— did not tend to throw any light upou tbe mat ter, and Alioe, unhappy and ill, retired to her own room. The agitation had bronght on a nervous and a violent headache, and sbe sat down in a low cbair, Jtnd bent her forehead on her hands. One belief alone possessed her: that tbe unfortunate Gerard Hope bad stolen the bracelet. Do as she would, she could not put it fro*n her; she kept re peatiug that be was a geutleman, that he was honorable, tbat he would never place ber iu so painful a position. Common sense replied tbat the temptation was laid before bim, aud he bad confessed bis pecuniary difficultiea to be great; nay, had  he not wished for this
very bracelet, that be migbt raake money	
A knock at tbe door. Alice lifted her sickly oountenance, aud bade the intruder enter. It was Lady Frances Chenevix.
" I came  to Alice, how wretched you
lookl   You   will   torment   yourself into  a fever."
"Can you wonder at my looking wretched?" returned Alice. "Place yourself in my posi¬ tion, Frances : it must appear to Lady Sarab' as if I—I—had made away witb the bracelet, I am sure Hughes thinks so."
" Don't say unorthodox things, Alice.— They would rather thiuk tbat I had done it, of tbe two, for I have more use for diamond bracelets tban you."
"It is kind of you to try lo cheer me," sighed AUce.
"Just tbe thing I came to do. And to have a bit of chat with you as well. If you will let me."
"Ofcourse I wiil let you." " I wish to teU you I will not mention that your sister was here last evening; I promise you I win not."
Alice did not immediately reply. The words and their hushed lone caused a new trouble to arise within her, one wbicb she bad not glanced at. Was it possible that Lady Frances could imagine her sister to be
the	
"Lady Frances Chenevix I" burst from Alice, "yoacannot think it! She ! my sister —guilty of a despicable theft 1 Hive you forgotton tbat abe moves in your own posi¬ tiou in tbe world ? that our family ia acarcely inferior to yours?"
" Alice, I forgive yonr so misjudging me, because you are not yourself juat now. Of course your dialer caunot be suspeoted; I know that. But as you did not mention her wben tbey were talking of wbo had been bere, I supposed you did not wish her name dragged into so unpieasaut au affair, and I hastened up to say there was no danger frora me tbat it would be."
" BeUeve me, she is not the guilty party," returned AUce, " aud I have more cauae to say so than you tbink for."
"Wbat do you meau by that?" briakly cried Lady Frances. "You surely have no clue?"
"Alice shook her head, and her compan¬ ion's eagerness waa lulled again. "It is well thatTboma.s was forgelfaj," remarked Lady Frances. " Was it really forgetfnlness, AUce, or did you contrive to telegraph bim to be ailent ?"
" Tbomaa only spoke truth. At least, as regards my sister," she hastily added, "for he did not let her in."
"Then it is all quite easy: aud you and I cau keep our own counsel."
Quite easy, possibly, to the miud of Fran¬ oes Chenevix, but anything but easylo Alice; for the words of Lady Fraucedhad introduced an idea more repulsive and terrifying even than the one which caat tbe guilt to tbe door of Gerard Hope, Her aiater acknowledged tbat she was in need of money, "a hundred pounds, or so," and Alice had aeen ber com¬ ing from tbe back room where the jewels lay. Still—sAe take a bracelet Mt was preposterous. I'reposterons or not, Alice's torment was doubled. Whicb of the two had been the black sheep ? One of them it must have been. Instinct, sisterly relationship, reaaon, and common aenae, all combined to turn the scale against Gerard. Bat that there shoald be a doubt at all was not pleaaant, and Alice atarted up impulsively and put ber bonnet on. "Where now?" oried Lady Prances. '*I will go to Tay sister's and aak her—and ask her-—if—ahe eaw any stranger here—any eaBpioiouB person in tbe haU or on tbe stairs,"
wben I met you on the atairoase, and when, I went up stairs to fetch the letter for yoa. Directly after you left, Lady Sarab came up from dinner, and tbe bracelet waa not there." " It is incredible, Alice. And no one elae entered the room at all, yoa say? No ser¬ vant? no "
"Not auy oue," interrupted Alice, deter- mind not to speak of Gerard Hope.
"Then, child,it is simply imposaible," was the calm rejoinder. " It must have faUen on the gronnd or beeu mislaid in some way."
" It is hopelessly gone. Do yoa remember aeeing it?"
" I do reraeraber aeeing, amidst the rest, a bracelet set with diamonds, bat only on the
olasp, I think.    Tt "
" That was another; that is aU safe. Thia was of fine gold links interspersed witb brilliants.   Did yoa see it ?"
" Not that I remember. I waa there scarcely a minute, for I had only strolled into tbe back room just before you came down. To tell you tbe truth, AUce, my mind was too fully occupied with other things, to take much uoiice eveu of jewels. Do not look so perplexed; it wiU be all right. Only you and I were iu the room, you say, aud we conld not take it."
" Oh 1" exclaimed Alice, clasping ber h^uds, and lifting her while beseeching face to her sister's did you take it ?   In—in sport, or  in
 Oh, surely you were not tempted to take
it for anythiug elae ?   Yoa said you bad need of money."
" Alice, are we going to have oue of your old scenes of excitement ?   Strive for calmness. I am  sure you do  not kuow what yon  are implying.     My poor child, I  would rather help yoa to jewels thau take them from you." "But look at the mystery." " It does appear to be a mystery, but it will no donbt be  cleared  up.   AUce, what coald you have been dreaming of, to auspect me ?    Have we not grown up togetber in our honorable home ?   Yoa  ought to know me, |Tf any one does."
" And you really fenow noihing of it 1' moaned Alice, witb a sobbing catching of tbe breath.
"Indeed I do not. In truth I do not. If I could help yoa ont of your perplexity I would tbaukfally do it. Sball I retara witb you and assist to search tor the bracelet ?"
" No, thank yoa. Every search has been made."
Not only was the denial^of ber sister fer¬ vent and calm, bnt her manner and counte¬ nance conveyed the impression of truth, Alice left her, inexpressibly relieved; but tbe conviction that it mnst have been Gerard, returned to her in full force. "I wish I could see bim!" was her mental exclamation. And for once fortune favored ber wisb. As ahe was dragging ber weary limbs along, he came rigbt upon ber at tbe corner of a street. In her eagerness, ahe clasped his arm witb botb ber hands.
"I am so thankful," she uttered. "I wanted to see you."
" I think you want to see a doctor, AUce. How ill you look !"
"I bave cause," sbe returned. "That braoe¬ let tbe diamond, tbat you were admiring last evening, it bas been stolen, it was taken from the room."
" Taken when ?" echoed Mr. Hope, lookiug her full in the face—as a guilty raan would acarcely dare to look.
''Then or within a few minutes. When Lady Sarah came up from dinner it was not there,"
"Who ttfok it?" he repeated, not yet re¬ covering his surprise.
" I don't know," she faintly said. " It was under my charge. No one elae was there."
" You do not wish me to understand that you are suspected ?" lie burst forth, with gen nine feeling. " Their unjust meanness cannot have gone lo tbat lengtb !"
" I trust not: but I am very unhappy. Who could have done it ? How could it have gone ? I left the room when you did, but I ouly lingered ontside ou tbe ataira, watching —if I may tell the truth—whether you got out aafely, and then I returned to it Yet wheu Lady Sarah came up from diuner it was gone."
" And did no one else go iuto the room ?" He repeated. "I met a lady at tha door, who asked for you ; I sent ber up stairs."
"She went in foramiunte. Itwas mysis- ter, Gerard."
"Oh,indeed, was that your sister ? Then she counts as we do, for nobody, in this. It is strange. The bracelet was in the room wben I left it—"
" You are sure of it ?" interrupted Alicfif drawing a long breath of suspense.
"I ain. When I reached the door, I turn¬ ed round to take a last look at you, and the diamonds of that particular bracelet glearaed at me from its place on tbe table." " Oh, Gerard ! ia tbia tbe truth ?" "It is the Irutb, on my sacred word of honor," be replied, looking at her agitated face and wondering at her words. " Why else shoald I aay it ? Good by, Alice, I can't stay another raoraeut, for there's somebody coming I don't waut to meet,"
He was off Uke a shot, but bis words and manner, like her sister's, bad conveyed their conviction of innocence to the mind of Alice. She stood atill, looking after bim iu ber dreamy wonderment, aud was jostled by the passers by. Which of the two was the real delinquent ? one of them it must bave been. [to bb continued.]

The ruler is now struck upou the desk and tbe call for " less noise," given.— Some unlucky wight drops his slate aud for tbis is called up, taken by the arm and shook violently, and then told to take his seat and make less noise. During this operation, a I boy who bas been holding up his hand tn ask permission to get hia book from another boy, ! takes this opportunity to ask for his book ou bis own responsibility. The teacher having partially heard the voice looks around aa be aends tho boy crying to bis seat, aud per¬ ceives a book passing from one boy to auotber, Down comes the birch upon tbe back of the boy passing the book. Auother beavy bawl, from tbe jnjured boy who feels that be bas beeu unjustly treated.
It is some time before the teacher can com¬ mand sufficient order in school, to go on with regular exercises ; and even then, it is ready to break out afresh, with tbe sUghtest possi¬ ble pretence; aud wby? becanse the teacher has not had a command of himaelf, and not having this ; it is utterly impossible to have complete command of others. And who was to blame? It was not the teaoher I Oh uol He must clear himself and lay all tbe blame upon tbe ohildren. They were so unruly, so utterly unmanageable, that there was no doing anything with them. The d—1 was in the scholars but alas, if truly and critically examined, it will be fonnd to be in the teacher rather than in tbe children. And tbey, poor things, must not only be the suiTerers for the Bpleen of the teacher, but also bear all tbe censure.
Let us govern ourselves weU, before we attempt to govern others ; tben we may expeot to be more successful iu our efforts to govern others.
If our scbool is noisy or disorderly, think not that Old Nick is in tbe scholars, but look around and try to find the cause.
Perhnps tbe room ia too warm, or too cold, or too close, and needs fresb air. Or perhaps it is only ourselves that is out of humor, and we are blaming the wrong persous for it.— Damp, dnll weather has a tendency to make us feel dull aud stupid. Disinclined to Btudy or make any extra exertiou ourselves, bow can we reasonably suppose the children to do better than tbeir teacher ? In sucb cases let us look well to see "who is to blame," and leau dn the side of mercy, rather than punish wrongfully.

A TERRIBLE BLOW.
I. " Poor Jonathan 6now Away did goe All CD the rageu mace, With othar malee All for to ketch walen k uare cam hack agaa.
II. "The winds bloo hi, TbehlllerB toat All hands wera loBt Aad ha waa ona, A fiprlRbtly lad Nigh 21."
A jonth. who desired to wear tbe matrimo¬ nial yoke, had not sufficient conrage to "pop the qneation." On informing Ms father of the diifiunlty be labored under, the old man re- pled, quite passionately : "Why, you booby^ how do yon suppoae I managed when I got married?" "Oh, yesl" aaid the promiang lover, " you married moUer, bnt I've got to marry s, strange girl."
A phyaician who recently conducted the post mortem examination in the case of infat- Icide, reported that he waa "unable to discov¬ er whether the child waa alive or not at the time of its death." That waa probably the same doctor who advertised his having re¬ moved "from the place where he notoresides,"
A jolly thief, on receiving hia freedom from the State Prison, said he had been in abailA- ing where " the underpimng came up ^o the
Drawing as a Branch of Education-
While wo complain that Young America is goiug too fast, Old America ahould remember that he has had tbe training power, and is responsible if onr girls are getting their clothes too large, and our boys getting too large for their clothes. If the eld man laments the departure of his children from the home of their youtb, he mnst ascribe it to the training which led tbem to prefer wealth to the culti¬ vation of tbe heart through the love of the beantifal in natare.
As a remedy for these defects there should bo a more complete development of a pure taste in the cultivation of literatnre, mnsio, sculpture, painting, and drawiug. The latter branch should especially be cultivated, fo-' the benefits which woald result from a more active exercise that would be required in search of natural objects to be drawu, aud en- pecially for the good moral effects which it is fitted to prodnce. Tbe study will also devel¬ ope practical talent in the training the haud aud giving it dexterity ; it will cultivate hab¬ its of neatness and order,—invaluable habits, and necessary to insure success anywhere.
Drawing strengthens and developes those faculties which are placed above the visual organs,—the perceptive faculties; and upon the accuracy of their development will depend the correctness of our observations. Exam¬ ples of the effect of the carefal training of the faculties by which we make observations, were drawn from the American Indians, tbe Bedouins of the desert, andthe Gancho Trailer of the Argentine Republic. Blindness is L oked upou as a calamity : nohle institutious are founded for tbe comfort ofthe blind, and philanthropists have devoted years to allevi¬ ate their distress ; but who has ever thougbt of teaching those, who, having perfect visnal orgaus, have not learned how to use them ?
Drawing disciplines the imai;;inatiou, and enhances the pleasure aud profit of reading, by enabling us to paint the scenes described by an author upon our own mind ; and there¬ fore the more truly and correctly we sue ma¬ terial objects, tbe more perfect and harmoni¬ ous will be onr ideal.
Drawiug leads to the contemplation of ob¬ jects of pnrity and beauty; aud beauty and virtne are twin sisters. Virtue, truth, love, heaven, are always symbolized by objects of beauty; wbile crime, vice, sin, and bell are typified by distortion and deformity. The lovers of nature in every form have been— with only exceptions enongh to prove the rule—noble and generous sonls. If drawinii, as a school exercise, commended itself for the reaeons before giv^en,—if it would tend directly to remedy some of the most dis¬ agreeable national characteristica,—teachers shonld givo their influence in ita behalf.— Mass. Teacher.
Problems.—Answers and Solutions.
Problem 17.—A nmn has 3 horses and a saddle. The saddle is worth $'A0. If the saddle be put upon the back of tho first horse, bis value will be it of the value of the other two horses. If the saddle be put upon the back of the second horse, bis value will be 2 of the value of the other two horses. And, if the saddle be put upon the back of the third horse, his value will be ^ of the value of the other two horses.   What is thc value of eacb horse ?

Froulem 18.—Two men A and B bought a tract ofland containing'12 acres, 2 roods and 10 perches, for which they paid $1,137.50- A took 5 acres, 3 roods and 30 perches, B took the remainder for which he paid S20 per acre more thau A did for his. How much did each pay per acre ! ANTHRAX.
Solution to Froblem 14.—If he buys a gold case with the pen he will lack i of the price of tbe pen, then the gold case and i of the pen cost $2.75. If hc buys a silver case he will bave 25 cents remaining, then the silver case and pen cost $2.75—.25= $2.50. If the silver case nnd gold pen cost 5 the price of the gold case and sanie pen, then ^ will cost A of $2.50=$1.25, and Iwill cost 3xS1.25=$3.75. If the gold case and pen coat $3.75 and the gold case aud ^ of the pen cost $2.75, then | of the pen cost $3.75—$2.75=$1.00; and } cost iof S1.00=.25 and ;? eost 5x.25= .$1.25 which is the cost of "the pen. Ifthe gold case and pen cost $3.75 and the pen cost $1.25 then the gold caso cost $3.75— $1.25=2.50. If tbe silver case and pen cost $2.50 and the peo cost $1.25 then the silver case cost $2.50—$1.25=$1.25.
