THE DOUBLE ISSVJLT. "Are you H till beat on risking your life with t h tit vicious animal, Mies Ros? lyn?" and the speaker, a gentleman of some eight-and-twenty years, barred the passage fe a young lady, who, equipped for a ride, had made her appearance. "I think; Mr. Roberts, that your ex? perience with Temper invests him with a greater share of wickedness, than he merits. He certainly is not meek, but that is a quality I scarcely covot for a horse. It is hardly probably that the same train of circumstances should com? bine to make him as unmanageable oe he was on the occasion you and I have canso to remember. Temper and I under? stand eaoh other, .iud I have no fear, the best talisman against accidents. Is it not, Temper?" and Constance Roslyn caressed the arching neck of ber hand? some horse whieh stood near, ready to receive his borden. It undoubtedly was a beautiful picture on which fell the declining rays of that early Autumn sun. In the back-ground, the pretty Gothic cottage, with its vine embowered porch in front, the smooth, well-kept lawn, giving it Ufo and anima? tion; the sleek, black-coated Temper, champing his bit with impatience for the canter he knew awaited him and his pretty owner. Not much, however, thought Calvin Roberts of the landscape, bnt he gazed with undisguised admira? tion at the animated face of Constance Roslyn, as the stood, the folds of tho handsome riding-dress gathered in one hand, while , the other toyed with tho dainty whip, that was decidedly more for ornament than use, and his eyes were not slow to tell his thoughts, even were his tongue unwilling to do its office. With ? light spring, Constance has reached her saddle, and gathering np the reins, she said: "Now, Temper, no break-neck paces to-day, if you please, or Mr. Roberts might not bo so conve? niently near to rescue your mistress." "Wrong for once, Miss Constance. I have so little faith in that horse's good behavior, that, with or without permis? sion,.I constitute myself your escort." Even as he spoke, a groom led up his own'handsome bay, and a moment more saw both cantering side by side. Silently, as if by mutual consent, they rode along, both bnsy with their own thoughts. Constance was nono too well pleased at tho constant espionage her companion seemed to have established oy$r her every movement in the last few weeks, yet she did not care to show her displeasure, as site remembered the ser? vice he had rendered her, when Temper, frightened at the vivid Hu di CM of light? ning and loud crashes of thunder, had become unmanageable, and was only saved from the fatal plunge on tho river's brink by his coolness and presence of mind. How ho had bapponed there was ot no moment, suffice it that from being a casual town acquaintance he had be? come a daily visitor at the country house, and, finally, through hor aunt's grati? tude, an inmate for tho last threo weeks. The length of his stay, :vs fixed by him? self, Mau already expired, and still bc lingered, until Constance was becoming uncomfortably aware that a sumraor's idleness was not thc only thing that de? tained him at the Oaks. lu vain had she openly avowed hor ongagement to Richard Vane; iu vain hud spoken of their Approaching marriage-be turned a deaf ear to all, and continued his un? mistakable attentions to her. While such wero her thoughts, his were very much ukin to thom. He host know what had brought bim to tho neighborhood of tho Oaks, when he loamed that Constance Roslyn was to be one of its inmates. He had no definite plan of attack, trusting to hia usual suc? cess with women, to whose good graces his handsome face, polished manners and immense wealth had always proved un? exceptionable passports. Chance had thrown an opportunity in his way, of which ho had not been slow to avail him? self. Nor had ho been ignorant of Con? stance's engagement, hut holding that all .t?fW'fail?^lW^^ W had not shrunk.from. kh? tatfr^winging Hw love of th? betr?thed bT?o mato wlidt* he called friend; Hie, ho kn ow, was a nature upright and generous from ncoi dent, not principio, and, lo his eyes, fhe fact that he bad loved Conatauce from their first meeting, with, all the passion Of h>s Southern blood, /wds O sn?icient excuse-for his treachery. He bad tact with little encouragement from tho girl, who, true-as steel to ber absent lover, Had too little of the co quette in her nature evett to while away the idle summer hours by a flirtation With her guest. Ho had trusted to Ri? chard Vane's forced absence, to tho efficiency of propinquity and to his dovo tiou, but above nil to his native inde? pendence. Ho had now roached tho end of his summer's vacation, and im? perative business calls, already too long deferred, warned him that a speedy re? turn to the city was necessary; yet, how? ever much his vanity might suffer by tho acknowledgment, be know ho was no nearer the desired goal than ho had been two months previously. Obstacles to his naturo were only incentives to action; the young lady's decided indif? ference only made tho prizo moro valua? ble; and, cherishing the old adage that "faint heart never won fair lady," bc had determined to make a bold push for it. Such were the thougbts that pnssed rapidly through his mind; yet ho hesi? tated to speak, somewhat with tho same feeling which causes tho gambler to pause, ere he throws the die by which ho is to recover or lose irrevocably his all. The silence had at length become awk? ward, when he said, abruptly: "Miss Constance, I leave tho Oaks to? morrow." "I shall not forget the laws of hospi? tality, and shall speed the parting, as I welcomed tho coming guest," sho re? plied, archly. "Is that all I am to carry away with me, Constance?" he asked, looking into ber face with eager, questioning eyes, bringing the hot blood to her temples. "And my etornol gratitude, poor ns is the compensation when weighed against tho preservation of my life," she said, seriously. "Gratitude!" ho exclaimed, sneering? ly, "that feeling luau shares with tho brutel I want none of it. Tell me you pity me, and I rejoice, for pity is skin to love, it is said, and that were some? thing!" "I do pity you, Mr. Roberts, if you have beguiled yourself with any such falso hopes," she said, resolutely. "I am aware that in romance thc rescued damsel invariably rewards tho rescuer with her hand and heart; but even then it is always considered necessary that thc heroine should be 'heart whole and fancy free,' ready to yiold ber heart, not only to the gratitude you so much despise, but also to tho shafts of Cupid. Un? fortunately, I do not happen to bo in that category, being, as you aro well aware, betrothed to Richard Vane long before Temper's fright gave you more than a passing claim to my regard." "What right has Richard Vane, or any other man, to a life which, but for me, would long ago have been extinguished in thc waters of yonder river? Ono mo? ment moro and his claim would have been forever canceled, by a power bofort which even my great lovo would bc powerless. That moment sundered all pre-existing ties. Besides, ladies aro not apt to consider such ties as very binding, when it suits their own sweot wills tc break the shackles! Tho words have not been spoken that bind you irrevoca? bly!" "As irrevocably, as far as you and ] aro concerned, as if tho minister had proclaimed us man and wife," sho nu swered, solemnly. "Look at me, Constance, and tell me if I am likely to yield one jot or tittle o: my rights. Death breaks ties tho mosi sacred. You have stood at tho portals ol death, and only these arms snatched yoi from its grim embrace. Think you, J will consent to yield to another's arms what has been given me by fate, because forsooth, of an idlo promise? No; th( life I saved is mine, in spite of twentj Richard Vanesl" "'Pon my lifo, you woo right royally Sir Calvin Roberts," she replied, sneer ingly. "I fear mc, oven such elaimi must bc disregarded by tho ungratefn wretch yon havo honored with you favor. In tho penny romances airead; alluded to, the rescuer infallibly prove, to be a knight sans pew' cl sans reproche who woes und wins, with honeyed words a willing damsel; and it has always beet a subject of wonder to me what thc con sequences might be should there bo au; deviation from this beaten track. It ha been reserved for mo, in propria persona to solve tho riddle. If, in lieu of tin chivalrous Calvin Roberts, some sahl Sambo or Pompey had rushed to nr rescue, what a triumph to tho causo o miscegenation your theory would prove Rut Sambo or Pompey would deem th feat ono of common humanity, am would look for no reward. It is reserve? lo tho gentlemanly Calvin Roberts t advance a higher claim. A truco t badinage, however." sho added, dropping tho mock heroic tone of the last sentence "Let my answer bo final, and wo can a least remain friends." "Forgive me, Constance, and lot ni great love plead for my folly. Lot u forget what ba? passed, and tell mc if may not hope to teach you, in my lovt to forget another's?" "Mr. Roberts, your persistence is ai insult to your friend and myself. If yo insist on continuing the subject, I sha! bo forced, howover much I might regie tho step, to roturn to tho honso. Ti now, I believed a gentleman could talc .no' for an onsWor," and her lip curie in absolute scorn. Tho swarthy brow of her compauio took a deeper huo of impotent rage, E ho replied, "Ayo, fair Constance, an bow to bear an insult from a lady! fe which bo will also know how to bo r< venged," ho muttered between histectl l' JJJ.. .."JIL'i_ J 1 .)*> ? .'JJ,'1" 1 .J .'

Constance pursued her onward way, place, and would have been well pleased, could she bara made him understand how really grateful she was, but that even had no Richard Vane existed, Cal? vin Roberts could never havo replaced the ideal hero her heart had enshrined. He had chosen not to liston, and she ac? quitted herself of all blame. "Dear Dick Bhall know nothing of this. It would annoy him so much," she thought. Could she have foreseen tho consequence of her silence, sho might have acted otherwise. When sho roached home, Calvin Roberts had left. Ono evening, two years later, in tho parlor of ono of the handsomo residences of tho city of B-, three persons were seated around tho bright conl Are, whoso warm rays, blcndod with tho shaded gas? light, cast a soft radiance around the room. Everything about tho apartment denoted wealth, and that rarer gift, re? finement, which money cannot purchase. Works of art adorned the walls, tho foot? fall fell unheard in tho soft carpets, colors everywhero were happily blended, while scattered with lavish grace wore those dainty trifles that speak of woman's hand and woman's presence; in this case, not speaking falsely, for in tho pretty hostess, Mrs. Riobard Vane, it was easy to recog? nize Constance RoslyD. Two years had left no impress on the fair, handsome face, for her lines had fallen in pleasant places, and Timo deals gently with the happy. On her right sat a gentleman, whose dressing robe and slippers indicated the master of the house, handsome, gene? rous, impulsive Dick Vane, while tho in? dolent, off-hand manner of his vis-a-vis, denoted plainly enough tho friond and habitue of the house. Such had Calvin Roberts really become, although in the course of Constanco's pleasant, unevent? ful life, no hours were fraught with bit? terer recollections than thoso connected with his name; yet sho had accepted him as Dick's friend from tho day when her husbaud had said, "Coustance, here is a friend who claims your remembrance," and Calvin Roberts, bowing low over her extended hand, had whispered, "Mrs. Vuuo, lot by-goues bc by-goues. Believe mc, I havo sufficiently repented of my ungentlemanly behavior." and Rho hail only been too glad to graut tho pardon craved. From that time, Calvin Roberts had becomo Dick Vane's constant friend ant" companion. If, at times, Constance looked with au uufavorablo eye on ihii growing friendship, sho wns too loyal tc harbor any ungenerous suspicions of hoi husband's guest and tho preserver of hoi own life. Yet "chasser lu naturel, il re vient au galop," and woman's prejudice.' aro very perverse, and will return whei wo believe thom most surely exorcised So, strivo as she would, thero were time* when the lurking suspicion that all wai not well, aud that Calvin liobcrts was ox ercising an undue infiuenco on tho house hold, would make itself heard. Such had been the case pre-emiuentlj to-day: and, accusing herself of' troasoi to Dick's superior judgment and ingrati tudo toward Mr. Roberts, she was eu deavoring, by increased affability, tc make "amende honorable" for her un generous distrust. Something had jus boon said of tho price of a picture sin desired to possess. "MoneyI What a blest thing it is. do love it," Constance exclaimed, impo tuously. "Why, Constance, what a morcenar creature you are," laughed ber husband Had she been less busy with her owi feelings, she might have detected a con straint in his voico very foreign to it. A it was, she only replied: "Indeed, I am no such thing, Dick although I'll admit I am open to th chargo, what I meant being decidedl; botter than what I said. I am no wot shipper of tho golden calf, but I cei tainly do love bim when he makes him self manifest in the shape of desires grn tilled; in a word, I do not love gold, bu what it can purchase. You r.ro none th less his devotee, bat yon lack my cando! I'm very sure you doll your hat with greater flourish to Mr. Moneybags tba to Mr. Goodman, not because of his pei sonni excellence, but because bis sign? ture is worth twenty times tho other's although his conscience may be as heav as his own coffers. Call mo what yo will, I must admit I don't know what should do without a full share of thi world's 'filthy lucre.' " While she spok her husbaud had risen, and already bool bad replaced the comfortable slipper) and tho dressiug-robe was laid asido fe Ihn heavy overcoat. "Why, Dick, I did not kuow you it tended going ont to-uight," she cxclain ed, as she noted theso preparations. had congratulated myself on having yo all tho evening. I declare, yon are ge ting to bo quite a vagabond!" and tli pretty lips shaped themselves into playful pout. Ono look into her hui baud's face, however, and all levity wt cast aside. "What ia tho matter, Did You are ill. Do not go out to-nigh Soe, Mr. Roberts, how pal?> ?io isl" "Do net make a Tool of yourself, Coi stance; nothing ails mo. Urgent bus ness calls mc out. There is no uecessil for a scone." He ?poko harshly; moro so than I had ever done before; and lim hand Coi stance had placed on his ann fell quiotl to ber side, while ?ho resumed tho sei she bad left when first attracted by h altered face, with a gesture of woumli pride. "Will yon come, Calvin?" "No, Dick; if yon will excuse me, I try and make your nbseuco seem less loi to Mva. Vane,'" Constnrico would have much profern to have boen loft alono, but making virtue of necessity was ono of her ch ractcristics, so she smiled an assent the words, and Dick Vano wont out alon little, dreaming of thc look of triumpha malice that followed him. LU II o.1 jv m No sooner did the lond summing of the front door assure "those he had left that tho master of the boase was in the aBoefc,- than Calvin Roberta turned to Constance and said: , "It ie very evident, Mrs. fVnne, that yon are not in your husband's confi? dence.*' "Perhaps not. I should have remem? bered the presenoe of a third party, and left the question unasked," she answered, moro iu response to her own thoughts than as a direct reply to a direct ques? tion. "Pardon mo if I reasoned from analo? gy. As loving a wife ns you are, would scarcely have pronounced tho eulogy on money, which, but now, fell from your lips, had she known of her husband's pecuniary embarrassments." "Embarrassments!" she repeated, ns if she doubted she heard aright. "Dick surely would not hold mc in ignorance of such vital interests." "Shall I enlighten you, Constance?" It waa thc first time he had ever called her so, since that memorable night; but she did not notico it, nor yet that she had no right to hoar, from another, what her husband lind chosen to conceal. She only knew that Dick was iu trouble, bear? ing it all for lier sake, and that sho had added to his nnguish by a thoughtless speech. "Shall I tell you nil, Constance?" he repented. "Yes, yes," she said, "all." "Your husband is a mined man. Of all ho possesses, there is scarcely a dollar he can call his own." "Oh! why bas ho kept this from me? Why left mo to pleasures ho could not share?" "Why? Becanso I so choose it. Be? cause I wished to be the bearer of the tidings." "You?" sho 6oid, half bewildered, passing ber hand over nor flushed fore? head, as if to assure herself she was not dreaming. "Yes, I. It is not a long story. Will you liston patiently while I tell it? I need not remind you that I was once mad enough to fall in lovo with your pretty face, and fool enough to believe that you would return that love. It is not plea? sant to recall tho way in which my pro? testations were received, but it is neces? sary. You chose to slight and sneer at me, and I have chosen to bo revenged. You now possess tho Alpha and the Ome? ga of tho whole secret. If your husband is ruined, you know to whom you owe it. To accomplish this, it was necessary to becomo bis friend and adviser. I curbed my impatience aud played tho repentant lo you. I succeeded only partially in this; that I saw; but I had a powerful ally in tho victim himself, whoso eyes, poor fool, had never been oponed, for I judge aright when I suppose that that little episode in tho woods, at tho Oaks, was kept from him. You played admi? rably iuto my bauds, fair Constance!" "Go on," she said, calmly, as bc stop? ped to note thc effect his words produced. "Well, thero isn't much more to tell. I lcd him iuto tho wildest speculation; by appearing to lead tho way, until to day he has received his coup de grace. Tho strangest part of tho whole affair tc him is, that, although ho knows he ii rained, his creditor does not appear. H< hos gone out to-night to discover tb( mysterious personage if ho can. I wisl bim joy of tho search, with the cluo ht holds. But you, with your usual pene tration. can, no doubt, unravel tho mys tory over which he, in his idiotic conti douce, will scarcely stumble. Can yoi guess who holds theso precious bits o paper?" "Thc most honorable Calvin Roberts,' she said, as calmly as if her heart wa: not bursting with indignation. "What a little sorceress! Don't wasb timo so unprofitably by using ir?nica expressions. They are lost on me, I as sure you. Perhaps you can rend tho mo ti ve which prompted the plan?" "Yon havo told me-revenge." "Right and wrong both. The loss o money is ono of the links in the chain Can yon supply the missing link?" Slie remained silent. "Then perforce I must tell you. Yoi can then appreciate the pleasuro thi evening's conversation has imparted ti mc, for his ruin is to compel his wife ti reward my love, in exchange for hi worthless paper," he hissed in her ear. "Fiend! traitor!" she exclaimed, juna)] ing from her chair, and towering abov bim in all the majesty of ber outrage* womanhood. "Go, proclaim yonr ow infamy to tho world, but dare utter sue words again tn my presence, and thes hands, feeble os they are, shall know bo' to resent bis wrongs, as well as my own ! "What a line tragedy queen you wolli? make, to be sure. Sinco you choose t refuse my generous offer, I would aug gest tho stage os a future means of snp port," ho said, sneeringly. "You will no doubt, relievo me of the anpleasail necessity of acquainting Richard Van of the holder of his precious signnturi and of your matchless indignation ut fair proposal?" "Of your treachery to himself he sba most certainly learn. Of the double in suit to both, never. His life is too pn cious to me to risk it against yonr wortl less one. Now, begone! or the servan shall show you out. To-night I am sti mistress here; to-morrow you can cou ruand." With a wave of her hand which he il a red not disobey, sho pointe t.> the dcor. With a how, as cool un graceful as if nothing had occurred t mar tho friendly intercourse of the tw< Calvin Roberta passed from ber presenc forover. Relieved of the oppressive weight sh felt in his presence, Constance sat dow to await her husbaud's return. Whit passed between the two none will, evt know. The next day all Richard Van possessed, even to Constance's jewell were given up to satisfy tho creditor demands. In a cottage, in nu obscui street, they began lifo anew, where, si enro in her husband's love, Constanc nover regretted that, loving money, st had loved honor more.
