A VE you any
knowledge about
this, Mrs. Tun-
stall?" inquired
the judge, when
he and Martin
were in the street
together.
“It’s a nasty
com pi i cation,"
replied the Eng
lishuian “I
fancy Percy lias
hoen making a
' ' fool of himself
about her. There was no actual harm
done, you understand; but there was
some nonsense and imprudence, and
Tunstall, somehow or other, got wind of
it. Percy lias been in a state of mind
lately, hut 1 didn't exiiect the woman
would behave in this way. I suppose
she had the alternative of turning against
her husband or against Percy, and find
ing that the strongest battalions were on
her husband's side, she very prudently
and with much propriety sided with him.
Hut what is Percy's defense?”
"lie denies the charge,” the judge an
swered; “but he lias no theory as to how
the thing happened."
“What is the theory of the prosecu
tion as to the disap[iearance of the bank
notes?'
"They assume that Percy must have
passed them to a confederate.”
"Was anybody resembling a confeder
ate seen hanging about?”
The simp was full of people coming
and going: but no one in particular was
noticed."
“It's a lame theory," remarked Martin,
after a little consideration. “If Percy
had passed a confederate the money, lie
would have (Kissed him the purse too.
il is more likely that whoever did the
stealing kept the notes, which could not
he identified, and got rid of the purse,
which could he identified, by dropping it
into Percy’s pocket as he (Kissed by.”
“I think that view Is a sound one,"
said the judge; "but the thief lias got
off, and the prospect of apprehending
him is very small Percy may not be
convicted; I hardly think ho could he;
but there is, nevertheless, evidence
enough against him to produce a dis
agreeable effect upon persons not ac
quainted with hum And, of course,
when it is known that Mm. Tunstall was
acquainted with him, and yet did not
hesitate to accuse him, his position —
even after he has been legally exonerated
—will he a painful and eiubarrassii gone.
I am inclined to thing tliat the best thing
for him will bo to leave New York and
remain away for some years. Meantime,
the affair will be forgotten, and possibly
the true culprit may tie discovered.”
“1 agree with you,” said Martin,
thoughtfully. “Percy can ho of no use
hero, no matter how tho affair turns out.
I have a mind to propose to him to go
with me.”
“To go with you!” repeated the judge,
with an involuntary accent of surprise.
“I infer, then, that you contemplate
leaving New York?”
“1 shall leave New York very shortly.
My idea is to go to Australia by way of
San Francisco. ' In Australia Percy
would have a fair lit Id to start out and
do something. I might bo able to give
him some help.”
“His family should feel much in
debted to you,” observed the judge,
cordially.
“There's no obligation," returned Mar
tin. “1 am fond of Percy—not on tiis
own account only. If 1 can lie of any
good to him I shall consider myseif
lucky.”
The two gentlemen now entered a
horse car, and the conversation ceased.
Martin lapsed into a gloomy revery; but
the judge’s spirits seemed, for some rea
son, to have visibly improved. Ho had
received a severe shock at the moment
when he entered the room and found
Pauline and Martin together. Tho lat
ter’s announcement of his intended de
parture brought an immense relief. Ho
had already begun to like the young
Englishman, but be now began to regard
him with sincere affection.
They left the car at Blcccker street and
proceeded to police headquarters. There
was still a quarter of an hour before the
formality of getting bail could bo ar
ranged. They were admitted to tho in
spector's room, and at the judge's request
he courteously gave permission to them
to have an*intcrview tfltli tho prisoner.
"How is ho standing *, inspector?”
asked Martin.
"He doesn't find it amusiqg, I suppose;
but ho is ns comfortable as could bo ex
pected,” replied the impenetrable officer.
“There will bo no difficulty in getting
tail, will there?”
"I presume there will be notldng un
usual. Rut the case Is not a simple one.
There are some awkward features to it."
“How is that?” demanded the judge.
"Well, as regards motive for one
thing.”
"It would need a strong motive to give
weight to such an accusation,” Martin
remarked.
“That may be true for those who have
made up their minds beforehand not to
believe him guilty. But the jury will
not be composed of such persons.”
" What is the evidence you speak off
asked Martin.
“He lias been short of money for some
time past,” said the inspector. “There
is reason to think that he borrowed a sum
of money several weeks ago. But within
the last two days his needs liccame v :ry
pressing. He incurred a debt of nearly
a thousand dollars at play last night
The money has to be repaid this evening,
under pain of social exposure. He was
unable to borrow again, and It made his
situation very trying. When a man in
that condition suddenly find two or three
thousand dollars In h.s hands, and re
members that they belong to a woman
whom he has every reason to think will
not betrav him—well when a skillful
lau \ or tells that story to n jury, it would
not lie surprising if it make.-, son * ini-
pression on them."
' \ou don't take any stock in such
rubbish yourself, insjiector.'' observed
Martin, with a laugh.

got out of him.
They now descended (o the basement
and were conducted to the imprisoned
Percy, lie was much more com[iosod
titan they had expected to find him. In
fact- •w had experienced such intense
and varied emotion during the last few
hours that no mutter for diseonijxwure
was left in him. Martin's presence
seemed to gratify him He asked the
judge about his mother and sister, and
received ids somewhat rose colored ac
count of their condition with apparent
indifference.
‘But you will ho able til judge of them
for yourself at dinner,” the judge added,
kindly.
"You mean when I am out on bail?’
"Certainly; that will be in a couple of
hours from now.”
Are you going to furnish liail. Judge
Ketelle?"
“Undoubtedly I am. Who has a bet
ter claim to stand by your father's son?”
Percy was silent a moment. “Have
you ever believed that 1 might possibly
have committed this crime?" lie asked at
length.
“No sucli idea has ever entered my
head. I am surprised you should ask me
such a question,” said tho judge, with
an emphasis that indicated that ho was
a little hurt by the insinuation.
Percy took a long breath, and as he
looked up his face betrayed signs of a
feeling that lie had not hitherto be
trayed. "You are a good man,” ho said
in a husky voice. "I wish I had had the
sense to trust you long ago. I was afraid
you would pitch into me, and the fact
that I deserved it made it all tho more
difficult to face it. I don't know
whether you have heard that I borrowed
a thousand dollars from my mother two
months ago. She wanted to consult you.
but 1 wouldn’t let her. This morning 1
went to her again, hut she didn't have
anything, and there was nothing for it
but to apply to you 1 was on ray way

He broke off and altered his plirase—"if
things had not taken the turn they did 1
should long since have received your
blowing up and the money, (aid my
debt, and—but it turned out otherwise.”
“Who is the man to whom you lost
tho money?” inquired Martin.
“His name is Henry Cotton." answered
Percy. “Y’ou know him."
■ "To bo sure; and he is a friend of Tun-
stall's,” returned Martin, thoughtfully.
“Upon my word, the luck is against you.
Will you answer me one question?”
"If 1 can.”
“Y’ou can, and we are among friends.
Are you cured of a certain lady?"
Percy laughed, and that laugh of hit
ter resentment and humiliation was a
more convincing an a. i r than any words
could have framed It put all doubts to
rest.
“Ah!” ejaculated Martin, with an ex
pression of satisfaction. “ih:'ti it will be
all rightl”
At that moment an officer came with
the information that the court was ready
to decide the question of bail, and the
whole party proceeded totlieeourt room.
The transactions there were brief and
not particularly complicated. Mrs.
TunstaU's lawyers professed to consider
the ease an especially grave one, and ro-
questcil that bail lie lixed at the full
| amount permitted bylaw. Counsel on
' the other sidemaintain.-.l that the charge
against Mr Nolen was a pre(iosterous
one, and demanded that he be allowed
i goon his own recognizance, bile court,
after due deliberation, declared that the
facts against the prisoner, though not
conclusive, were sufficient to warrant a
prima facie evidence of guilt, and re
quired bail to be f urnished to the amount
of fifteen hundred dollars. Judge Ko-
tello immediately qualified for that sum,
the bonds were signed, and the prisoner
left the court with his friends.
“And now,” said the judge cheerfully,
“the worst U over. Let us get into a
1 hack, Percy, and drive up to tho house.
Your mother and sister will he anxious
to see you.”
“1 am much obliged to you, judge, for
all you havo done for me,” replied tho
! young man; “I wish 1 had known you
sooner and better. But this affair is not
over yet, and it may end differently from
what wo hope. Until the trial, at all
events, 1 must remain a suspected uian,
, and 1 can't go to my mother's house with
that suspicion hanging over me. When
I have been publicly acknowledged to bo
an honest man I will go to my mother
and sister, but not till then.”
“My dear boy,” said tho judge kindly,
! "you are a little off your balance after
all this trouble, and you naturally tako a
morbid view. I assure you you have no
need to feel sore about tho matter. I
need not tell you that you will find noth
ing but love and confidence awaiting you
at home, and that there can bo no other
place in the world where you can hope to
find them to, anything like the same de
gree. On tho other hand, your mother
and Paulino could not fail to feel hurt if
you did not appear.”
“Tliat is all very true, judge,” Percy
answered, “but there's something clso
that you haven’t considered, and which
will be certain to couie out, now that
the thing is going into tho newspapers.”
“What is that?"
“My relations with Mrs. Tunstall My
mother will hear of that, luul that is a
thing I can’t deny. I love my mother,
and I know she loves me; but she could
never make any allowance on such a
subject. It would be a useless pain to
both of us to attempt to discuss it, and
I am not going to put myself in tho way
of it No, I can’t agree with you, judge,”
he added, as the judge seemed about to
make a rejoinder: “I have been through
as much as I can stand for the present, and
any tiling more would break mo down.
Say to mother that I will see her by and
by, but not now."
The judge saw that the young man
was obstinate, and felt that his sensitive-
ness was, under the circumstarcus, not
discreditable. He further rellecied tliat,
in the course of a day or two, he would
probably be more disposed to modify Ills
resolution. Accordingly, he relinquished
for the present the attempt to persuade
him, and having ascertained that he
would take up his quarters with Martin
pending further movements, he hade
him farewell, little thinking how long a
time would elapse before they met again.
Percy and Valentine lietook themselves
to the latter’s rooms at once, and, hav
ing ensconced themselves there, Martin
poured out some whisky, offered his
friend a cigar, and after they had
smoked fora while, said:
“How much do you owe here, outside
of your gambling debt?"
"Not more than throe hundred dol
lars."
“Thirteen hundred dollars debts, and
your bail fifteen hundred. Two thousand
eight hundred altogether. I have over
■even thousand dollars. What do you
say to my settling all your liabilities to
morrow, and taking you with me to
Australia?” _____

staggered Percy
fora moment.
“I didn't know
you were going
to Australia," lie
said.
“To Australia,
or Mexico, or
South America,
or the North Pole;
it don't |^u>ke
much difference
where. But I am
going, and I'm
going to morrow.
And I want you
to come with me.
Percy."
“And jump my bail?”
“And jump your bail"
"I can't do that. Judge Ketelle is
liable.”
"Haven't I told you that I will settle
all your liabilities? Half an hour before
wo leave New York, I will post a check
to him for the amount. Your friend
Henry Cotton will receive his dues this
evening; everything shall be paid. And
we will bo off together and make a fort
une, if you like.”
“If I went off in tliat way,” said Percy,
after a little thought, “everybody would
come to tho conclusion that I was guilty
and feared conviction.”
“Y’ou aro not guilty, are you?”
"No.”
“But you do fear conviction, and all
the more if you're not guilty than if you
are. That stands to reason.”
"Of course I hope not to bo convicted,
but”
“Exactly; and now do you know what
I think? I think there is a strong proba
bility—a deuced strong one—that you
will bo convicted. Y’ou can see for your
self that your defense doesn't amount to
a row of pins. And if once you get into
jail, my boy, you are done for. Inno
cent or guilty makes no difference; you
will have a stigma on you that ail tho
years of your life will neve/ obliterate.
If I were in your place, I wouldn't risk
it. Y’ou have an op;>ortunity to escape
now, and you bad better take advantage
of it.”
“But if I escape judgment will go
against me by default, and I sliall have
tlio stigma just the same.”
“Listen to reason, Percy. To have the
stigma of being adjudged guilty is bad
enough; but what is it compared to being
adjudged guilty and sent to jail into
the bargain? If you were actually guilty,
or if I thought you were, the situation
would be different; but you are inno
cent, though you can't prove it; and,
being innocent, why should you spend
two or three years in Sing Sing just to
gratify tho spite of Cuthbcrt Tunstall
and his wife? It would be more sensible
to tako that razor and cut your throat.
Y’ou aro innocent, mid you have a per
fect right to avoid lieing imprisoned if
you can. No one will suffer by it. and
there is no telling how much you may
gain. Tho robbery of which you aro ac"-
cused was committed by somebody, and
probably by a proles.-ioi.ai thief. Pro
fessional thieves—pickpockets especially
—arc always practicing their trade, anil
sooner or later they are certain to get
caught. When the thief who stole
Mrs. TunstaU's money is caught it is
more than likely that the truth about the
robbery may como out; you will bo vin
dicated, and then you may come homo
with (lying colors. But if your vindica
tion came after you had served your time
in jail it wouldn't do you much good—
not to mention the (xisitivo harm that
jail life might have done you in the
meanwhile; people would never forget
that you had worn tho stripes, though
they might easily forget whether or not
you had deserved to wear them. But
come back with a fortune—como back
after having made a respectable name
for yourself hi another part of tho world
—or after having simply lived in free
dom instead of in bondage and in the
society of thieves—and, trust mo, you
will never regret it! This is not a mat
ter to bo treated on sentimental grounds;
it is a serious thing—quite as serious as a
question of life and death to you. You
are innocent, and you have a right to
your freedom; that’s tho case in a nut
shell. Don't throw away your whole
career for a figure of speech!”
This was 1 powerful appeal, and it lost
nothing by Martin’s delivery. It pro
duced an evident impression on Percy'.
“If I were certain that I should be con
victed,” ho muttered, half to himself.
“Y’ou may fairly tako that for grant
ed,” said Martin. “When there has been
a crime, there must bo provided a crim
inal; that is tho legal maxim, and in de
fault of a better you will have to bear
tho brunt.”
“It is not myseif, only, that is to be
considered, Val.; my mother and sister
are quite as important.”
“I don't deny it; it’s a part of my argu
ment. Y’ou said this afternoon that you
did not intend to see them again until
after you were vindicated. Did you mean
what you said?"
“Certainly I did.”
“I think you were right in your de
cision, for more reasons than one. But
if you remain in New York you will not
be able to keep your resolution. If you
don't go to them they will como to you.
But if you aro a thousand or two thou
sand miles away you will have no such
embarrassment And that isn’t all, my
boy. If you were put in jail It would be
a bad thing for you, hut it would simply
kill your mother outright and ruin your
sister's prospects ns effectually as your
I own. Whereas, if you go off with mo,
you and I can keep up a correspondence
with them and explain exactly how the
case stands. They can watch your career
step by step, and the knowledge that
they are doing so will give you tlio strong
est stimulus to succeed that you could
have. Meanwhile they will bo watching
the progress of affairs here, and as soon
as anything turns up in your favor they
can let you know and you can act ac
cordingly. If there were no other reason
for jumping your bail, consideration for
your mother and sister would be enough. ”
This suggestion practically decided
Percy. "I believe you are right,” said
he; “but I don’t see what right I have to
let you pay all my liabilities. You and I
have been friends, Val, hut I havenover
done anything for you, and I have no
• prospect of repaying you for what you
propose to do for me.”
“You will owe mo less than you sup
pose,” Valentino replied. “In tho first
place, my money is no use to me; if 1
didn't spend it for you, it would go into
tho pockets of the tradesmen and bum
mers of New Y'ork. In the second place,
1 want your company; wa suit each
other, and that is not a thing that hap
pens every day. But tho real truth is—
1 have never spoken to you about it, al
though you may have guessed something
for aught I know—the truth is that I am
a good deal iuflucnccd in what I am

“Ah! You caro for her, then?”
“Yes, I care for her. She is tho dear

her sake I would do most things. But
she can never bo more than my friend,
and I can do very little."

“Judge Ketelle told us that you were
staying with Mr. Martin. Is ho”—sho
glanced about tho room and hesitated.
“He has gone out,” said Percy. “Did
you como to see him?”
“I camo to see you, Percy. I can under
stand why you kept away from us, but I
wanted to tell you that I am your sister.
I love yOu and believe in you, and what
ever happens you cau trust mo. Let me
do something for you!” She spoke with
great emotion, though in a controlled
voice, and ho could perceive that a tremor
passed through her now and then as sho
stood before him.
A feeling of strong brotherly tender
ness and gratitude came over the young
man; ho put his arms round Pauline and
kissed her. “I couldn’t do that if I
wasn't innocent, my dear,” he said.
“Of course I know you are innocent!”
she exclaimed indignantly. “YVhat made
that woman accuso you? Sho knows it
is false. Why is sho your enemy?”
Percy hesitated. “Appearances were
against me,” he muttered.
“What aro appearances to any one
who knows you?” broke out Pauline, im
patiently. “Sho must have hated you.
Why did sho hato you? Women do not
hate unless • • • has she ever loved
you, Percy?” sho demanded with a
changed voice.
“She—why, she’s a married womanl”
j he returned, uneasily.
There was a pause, “Yes, I under
stand now!” continued tho girl, with a
sad laugh. “Oh, my poor brother!”
She caught her breath and sobbed once
or twice. “I am so sorry it is that,” she
said, tremulously.
“I have been a fool, but nothing worse
than that,” said the young man. “There
is no actual sin on my conscience, Pau
line. It is nu thaaks to me, but it is the
truth. It is all over now, and I thank
heaven it is overt”
“I thank heaven, too. Percy; for
whate-er you had done I should support
ycu and defend you; and if you were
wicked I should be wicked, too. I am
your sister”—it seemed to give her satis
faction to repeat this—“wo are the same
fiesh and blood) if wo do not stand by
each other who dse will? But what
shall you Jo, Percy? You cannot tell
that in court.”
He took a quick resolution. “I shall
never appear in court,'’ he said.
“Has the case been put aside?” she ex
claimed eagerly.
“No; I am going away. I am going
with Martin. H^has gone to tako our
passages to tho West Indies by to-mor
row’s steamer.”
“Well, perhaps it is best,” sho re
turned, with a composure that surprised
him. “Your bail has to bo paid, has it
not? I will do that—I havo money.”
“Martin lias done it already. Ho will
pay everything. I shall leave no debts,
thanks to him. I thank you just the
same, my darling sister.”
“He is a good friend—ho Is a good
man,” sho said thoughtfully. “I can af
ford to let him do it, for I know ho does
it willingly. So you are going away to
gether!” She gave a long sigh. "Well,
I will tako care of mother.”
“Poor mother!" said Percy, a great
wave of grief and remorse coming over
him. “Tell her tho best you can of mo,
Pauline.”
“I can manage her—don’t fcarl It
will como right at last, I know. I will
go now, brother." Sho throw her arms
around him. “Be good,” she said; “do
the best you can. Oh, Percy, Percy I”
she suddenly cried out, with % heart
breaking sob, pressing him to her with
passionate energy. “I must go now, or
never," she said, controlling her elf by
an immense effort; and tho next moment
he was alone. But the ardor of her last
embrace liad something more than sis
terly; it conveyed a message to one who
was absent.
