the converstloi,' hitherto "rather lai:
guid, chanced to turn on a - b rglary
that had lately taken place in the
neighborhood: ' ' Every 'one at once

ley's, a very 'pietty girl dd an heiress
to boot, who had hithexto taken no,
part in thil talk, skepsuddenly d

"I think I should die if I were to
awake and see one in my room," ex
claimed little Lady Langrey, shrug
ging her pretty white :shoulders. in not
wholly affected freight..
"At all events, the man would not
trouble you long with his company it
that tin case of yours, with your dia.
monds in it, were lying on your dres
sing table, as usual," returned her
cousin. "I know you'll be murdered
through those diamonds, one day!"
"Do you really mean that Lady
Langley keeps her jewelry on her dress
ingtable?" asked Captain L6Marcliant,
- an hmpectinious young , man, who was
suspected, on very good grounds, of
being au mieux with the pretty heiress,
and who was, in consequence, rather
out of favor with her guardians.
"To be sure she does," laughed his
hosti "and, as Cecil says, I know we
shall wake up some flne morning to
find ourselves corpses because of that
whim of hers."
"What is the use of having jewelry
,if it is always to be at the bankers?"
retortedl Lady Langley,
- "I wish to goodness you'd be sensi
* .ble, Flo,' " remonstrated her cousin,
"and have it kept in the plate-room, at
all , events. I know that .1I shall do
nothing hut dream of your diamonds!"
Lady Langley laughed gayly, and
seemed to take -a malicious pleasure in
keeping the conversation on the same
*subject, despite her cousin's very evi
dent dislike of it, in which she was as
sisted by Captain Le Marchant. who
chafled Miss Clifford a great deal about
*her nerves,, until the party separated
for the night.
N ext miorninig 'the 'house was in con
fusion, for the d'iamonds were gone!,
*Lady 'Langley missed them the
nioment she' arose, for,' her nfald being
far from well at the time, she had bid
- den the- girl not sit up for her, and had
undressed herself, leaving her dia
mends, which, she had been wearing,
loose on her dressing table ;where
Cecil Clifford found them when she
caine to her cousin's room to bid her
'good-night'as'usual, 'and she put theni

The police haxx1e, but were equally ui-,
successful. Not a trace of 'eithier the

W iether from conviction or op
ion, Miss Clifford embraed the i S
theory, and before long her ,suspi
fell oin the miid 6fd na6f the visI os
whom she felt convinced was at least an
hecoeofliCe. 'Unfortunately fort this
poor girl, Cecil lifford '6bntded her

mediately placed under a surveillance

and uiltimately cost her her situation.

late, from some cause or other,' his
usually sunny temper had quite deser
ted him: his tongue had aqquired a
bitterness new 'to his 'friends; while his
andso me, ierry face had grown to
luok worn and haggard.
'MWas. Clifford, though still persisting
in her.opinion, bore his strictures with
gentle patience, laying tile very'evi
dent toenper he showed to the account
of some money troubles that she, well
knew .wore worrying him; but at last
he went too far, and ere their inter
view on this occasion- termihilated the
engagement between ..heih was sum
marily broken off by the lady.
Captain Le Marchant never took any
ps. to, bring al opt "g re bnellation,
hichi on her side,' teol Clifford was
far too proud to dream of, though
what the estrangement cost her she
jt\l'only have told. All she knew
about him was that he had exdhanged
into a regiment stationed in India, and
beyond one other fact she heard no
mor9 of b4lp till thrO 0o! four years
later 'the ,iewsp irs told b that he
had joined 'the 'army fn %gypt, and
formed one of the' band sent to tho' re
lief of qordon and Khartoum.
Strangely enough, the one fact that she
aid hear privately-namely, his having
before leaving 'lEngland) pr9vided for
the future of the poor girl who 'had
suf'ered so severely from the
suspicions that were cast upon her
about the lost diamonds-only seemed
to render her more incensed against
her erstwhile betrothed.
Six or seven years had passeg since
the burglary of Langley, when, one
night, toward the end of the season,
Miss Clifford-Miss Clifford still, in
spite of her wealth and beauty-at a'
dinner found herself being introduced
to "Colonel Le Marchant" by her host.,
who, Ignorant of their previoue ac
quaintance, had been actuated by a
benevolent desire "to do dear old
Denis a good turn" by n4aking him ac
quainted with the heiress.
The old lovers stood, for a m'noment
face to face in slence, scrutinizing one
another, the lady secretly, though not
a trace of the hard work he had under
gone escaped her; the gentleman
openly~ He was th.e-flistito Apeakg.
"It is long since we met, Miss' Clif
ford."
"Not long since we wvere together'
at Langley, she,replied softly.
"Yes, when the diamonds were
stolen. I wonder If that business 'wll
ever be cleared up?"
Just 'then dintier' was announced,
and tihe guests filed down "in solemn
procession. Although Colonet~ -
Marchant escorted Miss Ciffor'd, her'
attention was at first claimed by hdr
other neighbora, Bu6 wie'n the -Ccn1i
versation had' become 4ufilelently ani
mated to allow of private conversation,
Colonel Le Marohant turned to#~ard
her and their eyes tuet ,
"What a wretched time 'that swas,"
she said'-softly.
"At Langley, do you mean? Yes,
indeed, it '*aa. But was it not
curious how theyr found these dia
mondsl"
"Found them! yotg don't say soi"? he
e'golaImned gegerly. ' ',5hen? Do tell
