THE STOLEN^ LOCKET.
In tho elegantly furnished drawing-room
of a Wost ond mansion sat a young mau
whoso gonteol bearing, broad, noblo brow,
from whioh his chestnut hair was tossed
baok in gracoful carelessness, and large,
thoughtful oyes bespoko him to bo ono of
nature's nobloraon. He was evidently
waiting impatiently for some ouo; for, os a
slight noise wan heard on thc landing, ho
would start and Ox his eyes eagerly upon
. tho door.
At last npparonlly unable to sit still any
longer, ho aroso, and walking to tho window
stood tapping nervously on tho glass, and
wa to Ii od with listless eyes tho olia m cleon
liko crowd that passod. Whilo thus
oooupiod ho failed to hoar a slight rustic as
a girlish figuro entered tho room and glid
ing softly to his side, touched him lightly
upon tho arm. His quick start and tho
loving, gent?o manner in whioh ho gathered
her to his heart, showed at a glance that
they woro lovers.
- Whilo they- hold sweet converso let
us pauso a moment, whilo I describe my
horoino.
Sho was of medium height, of a slender,
dolioato figure, possessed of a nameless
graco of movement, which added to hor
olhor charms, . had won her tho name
of "Nellie, tho Irresistible." lier beauty
was of tho truo blondo typo, and clad as
sho was in a shining bluo dress she looked
worthy of thomaino. On her arms gloamcd
with tawny lustro, broad goldon bauds; and
from ono of these, suspcudod by a small
ohain, hung a tiny hoart shaped locket,
ono sido of whioh boro a forget-me-not set.
of turquoise, with a brilliant diamond spark
ling in tho center.
Guy Hartley, for suoh was our hero's
name, had oallod, glad, of on excuse, to
acquaint Nellio with somo arrangement
which ho had just coin plc tod with regard
to their soon npproaohiug marriage; and,
after a short time passed in pleasant oon
vorsation ho reluctantly arose, aud bidding
a'tender adieu to tho fair girl, left thc house
with a firm, elastic tread.
Hardly had ho taken his departure, when
tho front door bell again rang, and ouco
moro a young gentleman was ushered into
tho drawing-room. Tho newcomer was
tall and slight, with jct black hair, and a
piercing look in tho black oyes that boded
no good touu enemy. As ho sank into a
chair, something glistening upon tho floor
caught his oyo; and as ho recognized it ho
could acareo refrain from a shout of ploauurc;
for Frod Aoton had long been thc secret
rival of Guy, caoh striving to wiu tho hand
of fair Nellio Pornoroy. And now, as ho
hold in his grasp tho tiny locket, whioh by
somo evil chanco had become detached
from tho braoclct ou Nellie's arm, ho folfc
that he possessed an almost certain means
of rovonge on Guy, and stand, perhaps, a
bettor ohsnoo of winning tho fair girl for
his wife; for tho locket, as ho kuow, had
been Guy's first love gift to Nellio, sud was
prized as ono of her choicest possessions.
At this inomon t tho footman entered tho
parlor, presenting Miss Pomcroy's regrets,
and a roqucs't that Mr. Aoton would exouso
har that aftornoon. Tho truth was that
with hor womanly intuition sho had long
divined tho secret whioh ho had thought only
known to himself alone; aud having ever
treated him with polite indifference, ?ho
felt loss inolinod now than over to ouduro a
tete-a-tcic with him.
Rising as tho footman entered with hoi
message, and scarcely ablo to oonooul the
pleasure it afforded him at this moment,
when ho was still trombling with tho four ol
having boen seen as ho hastily hid thc
shining bauble in his bosom, ho loft Im
oomplinionta aud departed.
Going dirootly to a jowolor's, ho pur
ohnsod a small ring, with which ho fastened
tho locket soourcly to his watch ohain, and
then sauntered down tho street, in tho hope
of mooting Guy. His wish was destin od
tobo fulfilled; for ho woe shortly gratified
by seeing Guy approaching, with a sorono,
oontontod look on his handsome fa**-.
As they stoppod to ?I.?i-, L\od, as if nnx
?OUS to conceal something, placed his hand
oarelossly on his watch chain; but Guy, na
was intended, notiood tho aotion, and said,
laughingly:
?What is it that you aro so jealously
guarding, Fred? A lovo tokon from somo
fair lady?"
"Yos; but for foar that it might blight
your hopos in that dircotion, porhups I had
bettor not show it to you just at present,"
lttttghod falso Fred, norvously.
??Oh, novor foar for mol" said Guy,
?for I havo already oagod my bird, 'and
00shall not provo a dangorous riyal to your
suit."
?Well, thoo, behold!" ropliod Fred, re
moving his hand, ana disolosing to viow
tho tiny looket.
Guy turned as palo as dooth; but mas
tering his omotion by a violent offort, ho
ploy fully insisted upon knowing tho nanto of
Fred'? oharmor. -
"Oh, como," said Frod, "you aro feign
ing innocence; for suroly you must havo
often soon this trinket upon tho arm of
fair'Noll, tho Irresistible,' who-ha? thia
doy bestowed it upon mons a pledge of hor
tV Out? stood as if tur.nil to stone while
this llippaut npeeeh wnw being rattled out,
and then, with a foW ootntnonplaoo words,
passed on, but his tread was not as frOo and
oluatio as before bu met Fred, and bis hoad,
which thou had bcon raised proudly,, wus
now boot forward dojeotodly; for a dark
oloud had suddenly ariaou, whioh tbroatonod
to overshadow forovor tho bright morning
of his happiness.
Fred watohed him pass on with a sar
donio smilo on, his handsomo yet sinistor
fuco, and thought to himsolf, "Ali, my fino
follow, 'there's many n slip 'twixt tho oup
and. tho lip,' as you. may y find to your
cost; and then you will know tho
cousequcnoos of standing in tho way of
Frod Aoton!"
* * * *
That ovoniug, iu hor luxurious homo,
N'dlio watched ?nd listened in vain for
tho familiar footsteps shu had loamed to
know so well; and eho rctirod to rest at Inst,
sad and dispirited, and with a dim senso of
imponding trouble,- that was yet too vaguo
to shape itself into connected thought.
Tho noxt morning, ns tho family woro
gathered around tho breakfast tablo, a
servant cntorud tho room with a noto ad
dressed to ''Miss Pomeroy." Grasping it
eagerly, spasmodically, Nellie toro it open
and with blunohcd faoo read tho following
bronnie note:
NELLIE: All is ovor between us.
Thank God I havo discovered your poi tidy
before it was too lato. I had tho fullest
confidence in you, Nollie; but that is past
now.
I loavo for Franco to-morrow, never, I
trust, to revisit this country, whioh would
now bo but a sad homo for mc.
Your ouco devoted lovor,
GUY HARTLEY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pomeroy, occupied in
their own conversation, had uot noticed thc
sudden paling of their daughter's fuco, os
oho hurriedly soannod tho familiar writing,
till, na eho roached tho fatal termination,
hor.eyc8 closed, and with a low moan of
agony abo sank to tba floor in a death Uko
swoon.
+ # * *
For livo yoars Guy wandered through
Europe, for five years ho vainly shrove to
find forgetfulucsa and happiucss in constant
excitement and chango of ace nc; hut failing
in this ho ?md at last resolved to visit again
tho laud of his birth, if only to mark tho
ravages whioh time lind made among his old
friends. So ho returned to London.
Not onco hada suspicion of Fred Acton's
troaohory crossed bia mind, for to Guy ho
had always shown tho hotter port of his
nat uro; besides thc proof of Nollio's dupli
city hud seemed too conclusivo to admit of
any lingering doubt his lovo migltl have
Fuggcstcd.
And Nellie? Thrown iuto a nervous
fever bj tho cruel noto from Guy, she wa
vered long between lifo and death; hut
finally her perfect constitution gained tho
victory, and she again mingled in tho gay
world of fashion; but a certain sadness was
porooptihlo in her manner, and a weary
look in her bluo oyes showed that her heart
was uot interested in tho gay scones by
whioh sho wos surrounded.
Vainly hod Fred Aoton suod for her hand.
Fooling that ho was in somo manner con
nootod with Guy's mysterious behavior, sho
bad ouly scorn, to give him. At first eho
had hoped that some trivial aot of hors had
displeased Guy and ho would soon roturn,
but as thc weeks rolled on and no word
came from tho absent one, she finally ceased
to expect him.
Fred Acton, after repeated refusals from
Nellie, hod ot lost given up all hopes of
winning her hand; but loving her still, n's
muoh as his selfish nature waa capable of
loving, ho attempted to drown his sorrow
in tho wino cup; and, with drinking and
fast horses, was rapidly eating up tho ha mb
somo proporty left him by his father. Une
day, whilo riding at break nook speed, his
horse, frightened at a fluttering rag, shied,
and threw him. When tho hostil)
summoned physician lind examined his
wounds, ho pronounced him mortal!)
wounded.
Knowing, then, that for him all thought!
of rovengo on Guy were ^useless, and tba
ho must soon roudor up an account of hil
evil deeds, his thoughts tu'rncd to Nollie
with a fecblo wish that ho could uudo tlx
wrong he had dono hor. So ho diotatci
a lottor,. confessing his ein, begging he
forgiveness, and containing tho locket, om
dispatohod it to tho injured girl, who, tru
woman that .ibo was, could not but pity th
dying man, bitterly as ho had wronged hot
and, tliiit ho might not dio thinking him
self unforgiven, sent a note lo tho hotel t
whioh ho had boon carried, but tho mos
songor reached Micro only in lino to hen
that tho unhappy Fred Acton had breatho
his lost.

Could there havo been trcaohory in Frc
1 Aoton's conduct, und had ho wronged Noll
all tlioio weary years?
Wildly ho asked himsolf theso quostioi

that ho would at lonst seo Nollio and ha'
