"You axe' rery welcome, child." 1 " Avs for my grulT old father, he shook hi9 head and sighed. I think he felt disappointed. Never before had there been a; Wentworth with rippling blonde hair and' i tfyes' like wood-viol eta. The anomaly seemed to give him an unpleasant sensa-!; tion. It waa utterly at variance with all j preconcerted notions {of what every scion of the dear old family tree should be j like. "You ought 110- be brown as a berry, j with eyes, black as sloes, and hair the; color of Margaret's," said he, shaking his. head still more decisively. ''I don't under- j; stsuid it." The color died out of Bessie's blooming cheeks for an instant, and then burned! brighter than ever. "I-am like my n;other," she said, in a' eilvory, svret-t voice. "You are like nobody I ever knew, or saw," sharply. " Your mother was ft Hig-; gfnson, and they were all dark, like the! Went worths." She drew nearer, and dropped her pretty i slender hand on his arm. "I'm so sony I don't look to please you, $ncle Joliu," she murmured, with an up-. : Ward glance of the liquid blue eyes, that j i ihight have disarm ,'<i a harder-Hearted man j than my father, even. | i "What nonsense !

"I'm glad:' you saw ht to anticipate the time a little,} however." I "I decided, qu:te suddenly, to come on 1 at once," Hee?ie answered, speaking hur-j riedly, I thought. "1 knew your welcome! would be just as warm, though I did take!* toll bv storm." w w I 1 "If you give us just so much more of I your eocie'.y, my dear?" But the concluding p.u-t of her sentenco | did not reach my cars I heir J a 8tep on the ! gravel just thcu?w?re all gathered on j the piazza at the time, 113 was our custom 1 during tiit? hot August evenings?and look-11 ing down into the garden, I caught a1 glimpso of Jack Tmirstune's wide-awake iJ hat among the rho.lo lendrons. |1 I r ui down to moel hisu. _ "Who've you got up yonder, Margaret ?'> 1 he asked, abruptly, the momeut 1 reached,1 his side.

" Do you mean to tell me i that girl has spent uil her life in the back- ]' woods V" "K I do, what then ?*' "You are laboring under delus'ion, that'6;, all. I know a New Yorker the instant I, hear one spoak. If tho young lady in ques- i tion has not spent several years of her life in the modern Gotham, you may use my' head for a foot-ball." '" Enough. Out of your own mouth are' you convicted. Seriously, though, your penetration ia at f:.uit for once. Eessie is Western born and brad. Come up to the house, and she will ieli you so herself." j Later, after the purple dusk had driven us into the parlors, which were brilliant with light, 1 re.ilii* d what a charming woman bes.-ie had :: row 11 to be. So mod est, bo sweet, so fi-ii-o.-nscious, so irnpul-, tdl . sive, 1 could not woiuUt that Jack was quits enKij'tur-nl with her.

The girl is no fool. See wh it a desperate flirtation s'i-j is getting up with ' Jack already!" . Jack's demeanor puzzled me. "We were j tho next thing to engaged, and now he j had deserted mo for a fresher fact1 with as j IgHk- little warning as well could bo. Sw|f Tho evening wore on, and it was nearly ! timo for us to break up, when, finally, j Jack loft his new divinity fur a few mo- , monts. and sauntered up to inc. "Your cousin is a charming girl, Mar-, et," said he, in a low voice. "I don 11 -ernbor when I hive passed another such ^PHr.ightf.1 evening." "Did you come here to toll me bo?" I asked sarcastically. "You needn't have i taken the trouble." He caught his breath quickly, and, bending down, whispered in my ear. "Bear with me, Margaret. I would not ask it if it wove not right and best." What did he mean ? I turned, looking | iround with a stare of surprise'; but Hb | iad swung on his heel, and was gliding j s jack to bask once more in llessie's smiles, j n Later, when my cousin and I bad gone i: jp-staira together, she said to me with J v painful flush snffusio<* her lovely face : "I am afraid you are displeased with me, j I Margaret, you so *m jso cold, so reserved.

She shrugged he r.hapely shoulders. j I "I was admiring your jewels ? that's | ' all. What a lovely ornament! It must; ' have cost a large sum of money." ! ' She picked up a pearl cross, and turned j : it over and over in the gleaming lamplight. ] 1 It was a unique trinket?the setting of ! 1 dead-gold fronted with pearls that a prin-| cess might have coveted.

She*; I said good-night quite abruptly, and wentj into hor own room, which adjoined mine, 1 1 and closcd the door. We were all seated at the breakfast-j 1 table the next morning, when a letter was I brought in for mamma. She apologized! ' for op it, sliv.lied it carefully, a few, ' monic: un ulteiv.i a sudden exclamation : w odd! Perhaps you can ex ; < plain Bessie. I'm utterly befoggedj ( Here's a letter from your mother telling! ] me not to look for you until next week, t What does it mean ?'. 1 Bessie had just been saying something in a low voice to Jack, who ?at beside hert t but at the:?e abrupt wor<ls <>f mamma's the i smile died suddenly from her lips, and her ; face grow as gray as ashes. ' ] "There is nothing so very strange about it," said she, after a brief silence. "I told; 1 yon last night that I changed iny mindi ipiitesuddenly, and starte I at once. That' letter had already been posted. I arrived, 1 a, few honrs in advance of it. That is not 1 remarkable, is it ? The moils are always I delayed more or less." "Oh, to be .sure," ami mamma seemed * wholly satisfied v.il'.i the explanation. Looking round the instant, I canght Jack's eve. There was something in its i depths tliat puzzled me Did he distrust Bessie, and disbelieve her story ? j While dressing !or linnor, I ma-laadis- * :overy which sUvrlei me. My pearl cro33 was trone! I coul 1 imL tiud it in my iewel-! box, though I remembered perfectly hav-! ing placed it there the night before; nor was it on the diossmg-burem Had it been! stolen ? I My loss troubled mc* greatly, and jet Ij determined not to speik of jit until I had; made a more thorough search. After all my memory might '<e treacherous, and I bad simply mislaid it. One often falls into errors of that sort Bessie was in the drawing-room j singing a duet with .Tack, when I came down-stairs. She turned her head at the sound of my step hcliind her, giving me a keen, searching glance as if to allay some ! lurking doubt in her own mind.Apinxonily she wrs satisfied with the; result of her scrutiny, fur she drew a quick j breath of relief and took up the chorus of. the srav litlle ehans.m 'she wrs sin nrxr 1 leane i over hur shoulder, uu I ?\tichcil ( the rretty, slender hands tnit slipped over the keys so gracefully. The glitter of a { magnificent diamond ring on one of her I taper figers instantly caught my eye. I 1 gave a start of recognition. Jack saw it. 1 "Yes, it is my ring Margaret," he said, ! answering the quick uplifting of my eyes. 1 "How much handsomer it looks than it did 1 when I wore it." | i Bessie stopped playing, an' appealing' < smile curling her full ml lips. | f "Mr. Thurstane has loaned it to me un- i ] til to-morrow," said she, with charming frankness.

Was she so; unsophisticated as she pretended, or wasJ her artlessness the perfection of art ? It j was a difficult question to answer, but I j had my convictions, and they were strength enod by a remark Jack made to me laterin the evening, "Your cousin sings gay little French chaLsons, Margaret," he said, following me jto the veranda, where I stood gravely studying the st:tr?.

IleSfiie and I went up-stairs at a later; hour than usual i!;;it night. I noticed an! < indefinable change in the girl when we! 1 were alone togeti:er. The sweetness left ' 1 her face put as if she had suddenly dropped a mask. She looked sullen and insolent, and after lingering long enough to take a hurried survey of my apartment, , as if elw were making a secret inventory j ] of what was in it, she passed on to lmr own ' ; room. i j Iler singular demeanor made me ncr-! j vous ; it w.mld bo impossible to toll why. ( | I did net fool like sleeping after she loft I | me, and so, extinguishing my lamp, I ' lay down upon the bt>d without undress- ( ing. Somo hours wore on. At last I heard a plaintive cry, like a whippoorwill's directly underneath my window, But some-1> thing told me no bird had uttered it. "Was . 1 it a sigual ? Breathlessly I waited. 7 Not Ion?. A door croaked softly?"Be3ie's door. Did I see a dark shadow flit irjiselessly out upon the landing, or was it niacin,il ion ? I stole softly out of bed. ly door was certainly ajar. Filled with <iie most horrible misgivings,; ran to the window and looked out. There r ;ns no moon, but the stars shone brightly a the purple arch above, and by their low I saw throe or four speetraldooking igures steal over a bare bit of lawn and tcalthily approach the house. A moment's delay, arid' thtn a sash went ip softly. I should not have heard it an ir i i)y souses had not been preternaturally i luirpcned, For a few awful seconds afterward ' struggled with a deadly inclination- to I aint; then strength and courage carao ] >;ick ag.iin. Scarcely knowri:g what I did, I caught I ip the lamp, lighted it, and rushed out I ipon tlie landing, shrinking at the top of ny voice: "Thieves ! rrftibero ! help!" A yjiO'-io-s of ln.'i liiess seemed to possess no. The d:t~k Injures I had seen had, I vas sure, entered the dining room, where, u a convenient closet, the family plate vas kept in a small safe. Of course that vu.8 what the burgl u-b were after.''D'Owa-Btiirs I rushed, two: at a time, ,nd bounded* iivto^. tho drawing-room. A lark lantern was* flushing. --itSS^ stream of ight across 1rtie apartment. Eight iif its flow stood tho safe, with two burglars eaning over it in the expectant attitude rom which they had been' aroused by-the :ound of my cries. They seemed uttdedd>d whether to remain or fly. Another shrill scream broke from my ips at this startling sight. In an instant t was surrounded, and a cold rim of steel louched my forehead, while a low, resoute voice? Bessie's voice; I knew it instantly. in spite of tho excitement and ter orof my situation?hissed in my ear the ivords: ' Silence! If you make another out;ry, I'll put a bullet through your brain!" j I felt stunued, frightened, bewildered, j What happened afterwards is not very | ,-lear to my mind. I only know that there J TO3 a sudden crashing of tflass, a glare of i light, curses, shots, groans, and the room j ivas full'of policemen, and a desperate strug- j jlc going on. I woke up presently, as if out of a- lethu-gy, to find myself lying in Jack's arms, I tvith his kisses dropping hot and fast upon :ny cheeks and lips. 4 "Oh, Jack, Jack !" I cried, "It is all so | iorrible! Where is Hessie ? Did I really Bee : icr with those awful men !J" "Bessie was an impostor,11 he answered, pute savagely. "She is no more your1 :ousin than I am. 11 w us all a part of the! >lot to rob the house.

"And my poarl cross Jack !" a sudden J ight breaking in upon my mind. "What?" be demanded sharply. "You are not the only loser?that's all. | tall seems so strange, so incomprehensi-1 >lo. My mind will not be clear again for j i month." A brief silcnco fell between- us, and then ' ; lifted my eyes to say : "Jack, Jack, forgive me for doubting; :ou ! I see it all cloarlv now. Your al-1 egiaccc never wavered " * "Never!" be interrupted. ''Silly little joose, did you think I could ever find any ither woman half so precious ? But I was louipelled to play a part. Who would lave believed me if I had declared the ruth at once ? And I was not thorougly onvinced myself. I wanted time and op>ortunity to test my suspicions." Wo now had leisure to look around us. Hiree of the burglars were lying on the j loor, securely bound. One had escaped, and j ihe false Ucobie with him.
