AUGUST 13, 133 Th Argosy. ' BEHIND A SOFA. coxcxrrjuD It was daring these days that Louisa and Phillip had a falling out; why, I did not kcow, but tome ouble there evidently was. Louise fcrew ead and coustraiDed, but made ncf confidant n'onT? nnn n'il it WAS EmilT. I would have cut my right hand off at any time to serve Louise, but shenev ,0,. ocl-o.4 ma tn rvn her. One day I heard her pay to Emily, " You must see him whoa he comes sf.'srnnin. T cannot. Anti O make bin understand that I never could have written those dreadful letters, and tell hia thst I cannot see him till he has faith ia me again. It would break my head to see distrust in his eyes. O Emily 1" And my bonnie Louise lowed her head and wept. It cut me to the heart, and 1 was bo helplesstoaidher! For the first time in my lila I regretted my peculiar phytincue, lor other brothers were expected to defend their sisters, and did it: but what could I, a poor dwarf, do to bold, athletic, handsome .Phillip Ilayburn? I felt very ignominious, and crept away to my corner and my chloroform behind the sofa for consolation, and there fell asleep inmy mi awoke suddJenly at last, hearing voices. I am alway3 on the alert, and never startled into nuking a noise, so I lay perfectly still aud quiet to hear what was going on. Emily Gray was talking to Phillip llaylurn in her characteristic, low, sweet voice, and 1 could imagine just how her lovely, pale lace looked with its gTear, blue eyes, and her yellow curls floating over her shoulders. . ' It puzzles me so," she said hesitatingly; "I cannot bear to believ that Louise .wiote them; and yet what can 1 believe, Mr. Ilayburn? O do not say you are sure of her guilt "Hiss Grey," Eaid Phillip. -sternly, ' your affection must not mislead you. The letters were sent from this house, and the writiDg is undeniably that of Louise. She is affraid to meet the one she has so deceived , and injured. Do cot let your kind heart excuso her too far, Miss Grey!" ; Emily'" voice irembled as she replied :"0 Mr. Kayburn,I cannot bear it! To deceive you you who are f-o true and Doble! She could not, indeed, she could not!" - : . ' , Phillip spoke in softer .tones,' 3 ou pity me, Emily? The world h cot all false, then." . ; A moment's silence ensued. O, if I could only have peeped out at thrn unseen, fori certainly believe that Emily tent her arac-ei'ul head over Phillip's hand and wept upon it. I was fierce with indignation, but perfectly collected. Perhaps the dwtrF could help his darling, after all. Presently Phillip rose to go. "I suppose, then, we shall not see you any more?" murmured Emily, plaintively. IIow I bated that lal-:c, plaintive murmur! "Ilardiy again," bo said, gloomily. "And yet Emily, I shall not . wish to lo-e yoar friendship. In ten days I will call and inquire for you, and (tivo into your hands the letters which J have received from Louise, and you can return them to her." Then ha wont. As thctrcet-dv.or closed after him, Emily threw herself dowuupon the sofa, and with herfce in the pillows, muttered very low, "1 love hini, and I shall win him now. And yet.end yet, his heart will never be really mine. O cruel fate! Why wa3 Louise ever born to spoil the ly love I cira for?" And she writhed upon the tula in her malice, till she seemed to me like some creature of olden time possess edbademon within, which raved and tore. I lay hidden away in my corner, thinking deeply, with a volume pressed to my cheek. What was Emily plotting against my sister? I began to believe her capable of any Borgia scheme and resolved to spy upon her unremittingly, and foil her where I could. How low I breathed, lest she, to near me, shouldcatch a soand. Twilight shadows crept into the room at length, and in them she floated away, and 1 presently emerged from my lurking-place, j IIow I wished I were an invisible gnome to chase her, and haunt her, and find out all her dark deeds! Bat I bad to content myself with smearing phosphorus all over my face, and meeting her with a horrible grin in the unlightened upp-jr hall whea she came out at the Tinging of the tea-belL It did my very heart good to see the white terror in her faco as she crouched back in a corner toesape me. I had appointed myseli a .Nemesis to punish her, but she did not know that. I had noticed that when Emily went out alon j to walk without camfag her destitution, she was always abaent three or four hours. And the next day bricging an occasion of this kind, &3 sooj as she was safely down the steps I went straight to her room and looked all about it. The white bed, dainty and pure, the drooping curtains, the flower, the books, were all correct and maidenly enough, but I w3 a detective for the nonce, and passed them carelessly by. A small desk-table fastened my attention; I attempted to lift the lid, but in vain; it wa.' locked. Still, the key, with a blue ribbon attached, rested in the key-hole, ad I tried to turn it to unlock the dc.'k, but it -would not move the wards did cot fit. The key evidently was cot put there to help prying fingers. The next thing to do was to find the right key, and to that end I glanced curiously about. The recent reading of some of Edgar Poe's strange aaalytical stories sharpened my perceptions to painful keenness. I threw myself down on Emily's ea.y chair, and leaned my head back in a position I had often ecen her adept. Then I narrowed my eyes mrf Piimrrefesed mv 15 pa as she did wheD thoughtful, thinking that. so. j perhaps, my mind might momentarily j take the tPm of hers, and give me j some insight into tho mode of con- I cealment she vrcuU ba likely to piue- j tice. With my heal thus thrown j back, my eye naturally fell upon the i cornice above the long lace window i curtains, and I distinctly saw, half hid by a projecting gilded grape-leaf, j a bit of blue ribbon. Still keeping my features after Emily's fashion, i the thought suggested 'itself to j me how natural it would be j to put blue ribbor- cn each of the two ! keys, that a spectator might never know that more than one was used.') Full of excitement, I sprang from the i chair, and taking the long gas-lightiu? j rod which stood in the corner, li reached up and dislodged the bit cf blue ribbon. As I ejpeeted. a key ' fed with it to tho floor. With tremWin? fingers I tried it in the lock; it turned easily, sud I lifted the lid. ; That way at last I discovered Emily's ' treachery! There on sheets of paper were words and sentences carefully ; written and rewrittea dozens of times, in evident imitation of my sister's ' hand. Cleverly done, too. I looked them over hastily, and found beneath copies of two letters purporting to be from Louise to Philip Ilayburn, I

FRIDAY.

read thea in a sort cf delirious glee, for now I held the clew to the whole labyrinth in my hand. But what base letters! In them Louise was made to avow her falseness to Philip to confess that she never really loved him that all had been a nrettr farce to

conceal her passion for another; thai remorse had seized her, and a determination to be henest at length; so now these letters begged him to set her free aud to keep her secret. A slial Inw nlot. indeed, which a few straightforward wor's between the two would hive set r;ht at once; but Louise was proud and Philip pitiless. Emily hazarded much, and bad eo f :r won, dependiDtf on the pride and the pitilessnesa. .Then the haad writing! It would have deceived my own parents; but I I, the cunning dwarf had fathomed the whole, aud held the proof in ray hand. Then came the question, what to do with them? It' ltook thera away with me, she would discover the lo38 at once, and take measures accordingly. Was the hour arrived for exposure? I thought not. I determined to leave the papers, trusting to that fatuous blindness which sj often leads criminals to retain the damning proof of their guilt. Tho ju3tica of - romances suggested itseltto my mind, you know the true will is always hidden somewhere undestroycd , the fatal letter always found, the deed or certificate lost for years, but not forever; and I felt sure these letters would wait for me. Was I not the servant cf Nemesis? So I relocked the desk, lifted the true key with . Its bit of blue ribbon to its hiding place behind the gilt grape-leaf again, and placed the false key with its bit of blue ribbon also in the lock. Thea:I crept array to think it all over. ... , . In the hall I met toy sweet, sad Louise, with that new look of desolateness in her face. I kissed my hand to her. She stoppid instantly, and winding her dear arms about my neck said, softly, "You will always IUC 1UC, uu V 1UU, VUHII1CI "Yes. I will, and every one else cball, -; too! "i. I answered, stoatly. at which her smila wai sadder than tears could have been, and she passed on. "' " ; - ;- You may be very sure I kept close watch of the yellow-haired Emily during tho days which . followed. Many, a lonu rever? of hers bd mo for spectator, peering through a key hole or tue crack ol a door, or with cue eye bent on her from behind a curtain.1 I knew her reveries meant mischief. . One afternoon my viailance had its reward. My mother asked Emily if she would get her some riolet silk when she went out, and Emily answered, sweetlj "I thought I should not go out this afternoon. I have a headache; but rather than disappoint you " Of -course my mother interrupted her with an assurance thatshe should not think of letting her go. A little after, I asked, just to seo what she would fay, " VilI you buy me a little ivory skull this afternoon, Emily, if I give you the money? There's a man down an alley, two streets off, who carves such things." " 5 Under . the.se circumstances I thought it Lest to be on guard in the drawinff-room, so went quietly down.

climbed Gvcr the back of the antique ; uiy uianop, though; ho was too full sofa, and eo down into my lurking ' of wrath ai.d grief and contrite love, place. There, with that horrible, I almost began to pity him at last, but fascinating Look " Frankenstein," , remembered that would never do, so uuder my head, I lay dreaming and I told him that I accepted his apolowaiting. Presently the door bell ' gies. but ho must never insult us by rang, and Philipcame, inquiring for j his pre-ence again. That moment Emily; on!yLmily. I heard her j Louise came in hurriedly, looking quickstep ou the staircase, and she terrified and perplexed.

glided into his arms could it be that j it was into his arms? A. subtle in- ; stinct told me it was so. Philip's : voice was changed from the old light j tones, and there was no tenderness in ; it, though he called her " darling." "Here is this package." he said. I " which I wish you to return to Louise i- ; yv, i ! with my loraivencss. Che will soon see her heartlessness has not destroyed my happiness !:' and he laughed bitterly. ' . "Dear Philip!" murmured Emily's fal,e, sweet voice. " Emily, you arc the only true woman I know, atter all. My life shall bo devoted to you." "And you love me, Philip?" she asked, longingly. "You know my love's not worth much; such as it i3 now you may have it, Emily," and his tones were reckless. V Let us have it over at once. Can ou be reedy to-night at eleveo ?' "Yes," she answered breathlessly. " I wilhave a carriage here at that hour. When the clock strikes, you must come down to the door all ready. You wiil find me there, and I will carry you away at once. A pleasant surprise to Louise, to morrow morning, to find her lover so easily consoled! She hardly knows how frequently wo have met." m " Ba not marry me only from pique!"' said Emily, with a touch of sadness which was real, I think." , " I simply ask you, Will you marry me, Emily?" ' was all his answer; and Emily said " Yes," without hesitation. I did not want to come out and denounce them then and there; I had a better plan ; so Philip went at last no wiser than he came, and Emily led to her room, lull of her plots; whilst I climbed up out of my ambush, and lay down as any one eke might on the sofa, thinking my own thoughts. I wanted those letters now, quick, too how could I secure them? J could think of no . opportuniiy till tea-timeunless fortune favored. Fortune did favor about an hour after, for a young lady iu silk and velvet came to call oa Miss Giey. As the servant hesitated, not having received instructions. I called out lrom the drawing-room. "Eaaily is at home; sho is up in her room. I'll call her. So the young lady swept in and took a .scat. In high glee I went up j to Emiiy'n room acd rapped on the door. ; . "Emily, there's Flora McFlimsey j down in the drawing room to see j you!" ! " Tell her I'm not at home, Charlie." ! j, tut i can t, Kmiiy; 1 have already told her you were up stairs, and I would cali you." "Then, I supposes I muat go down," she said, in a tone of vexation, and came out, carefully closing and locking the door after her. So much the better I knew another way to reach her room by going through my mother's, aud my mother had gone herself for tter violet silk, so there tc-iu un rhincrr nf brirflr wsvlsid. This plan succeeded, and i stepped boldly ! into the pretty chamber, where a j subtle perfume of holiotrope pervaded ' the air. Emily bad laid out all her : dresses cu the bed, and her trunk wa , y open. I wondered if she would have j the effrontery to setd font some time. But my business was with letters, not j ire?ies, so 1 sought the little deefc table the true kty was in the lock this time, and in a moment I possess- . ai myself of the fatal documents. ' IIow fortunate that Flora came just at that time, for it might be that Emily was about unlocking that desk to destroy the papers ! My heart beat ; fast with excitement as I left the room ' again, by tho same way that I entered, j and hastened to my own little den, a j flight above, bohio by door after me. !

Then I cat down and wrote a letter to Philip Eayburn, telling him all I had heard, and all I had done, enclosing the sheets of paper 83 proofs. I felt very manly at last, so to vindicate my sister's truth ; and it made me mile to be able to write that I ex

pected him to apologize fully to Louise, 8nd after that never to" darken our doors again. I finished the letter, sealed it, coaxed the -butler -to deliver it at once into Mr. Eybarn's hands, and had ten minutes to compose myself before Emily politely attended her visiter to the door. Then she flew up to her room again. My spirit; ran so high I could hardly keep from shouting my secret aloud. I found Louise sittiog lonesomely in her chamber, like ''.Mari ana in tie moated grange," end I kissed her hand again and again, telling her I would set everything Tight, while she looked at me half frightened, and wholly puzzled. : Then I imitated an Indian war-whoop at Emily's keyhole, and 33 it grew darker lay in. wait for her behind an open door, and sprang out at Ler whn at last I heard her gliding step. - I liked to see her shrink and shudder. At tea she was pale and thoughtful while my father , and mother and Louise gTew kinder than ever, heaping her plate with delicacies, and delighting to pet her. But I took no trouble to pass her anything but strawberry jam, which 1 knew she hated. : - The night was clear there were stars in the heavens. After tea we all went into the parlor; Emily played, and sang, ana chatted, with now and then a restless glance at the clock on the mantel-piece.' Jvt ten she said she would retire, and bade us all good-night. That was the siz- ' nal for a general departing, and betcre loug 1 was goiceup the stairs noisily, so that Emily might hear me and think all were out of her way at la?t. But no sooner had I slammed my door than I turned again and crept down stairs quieter than any mouse, past all the sleeping room?, ; down to the drawiDg room, and there I waited in the dark.. I always liked ' to stay in the dark imagining grotesque creatures ia every corner un seen; acd there I lay on the sola jvery contentedly, hearing the clock ; tick and my heart beat. --t ; , . At last I became conscious by seme instinct hnar than hearing, that Eajily was coming down froas her room- ! The clock ehimed eleven, and I began to fear a y plot would fail, or why was there no word: to uie from Philip? How softly Emily glided down, like some impalpable presence! She stood hesitating an instant on the lower S siair, when the door bell rang a peal ; which 4artled ail the sleepers. ; I r out with a shout. Emily would ave fled from mo, but I caught ; her hand and t dragged her to. the door, which I 'opened. "There stood Philip Ilayburn, his eyes ablaze with fierce indignation, grasping the fatal letters in his hand. He held them up b-jfore Emily; he compelled her to recognize their meaning; then casting them at her feet with a gesture of utter scorn, he strode into the parlor, drawing me with him. I was proud then, as I collected all my four f--et high dignity, and called him to account. He did not notico Where lmily, Uharliel W Jio raDg the ball, and why is the door open? O.J'kilip!" ' I will go and find Emily." I Eaid. " I will leave you with Mr. ltajburn. He bas a confession to make to you, Louise, and after that you wiil forbid him the house ! " v,;kEmily was uot to be found: I hunt ed for her above and below, but she was gone.' The ha!l-door still stood open. She Jul fled away with her guilty cons-jiT's under the keen-eyed stars. So I went back to the parlor without her; Louise and Philip were at the door.- ; ". "I will come early to. morrow," ho said, smiling, brightly, and Louise smiled brightly too. "What! Have you not forbidden him the houe?" I exclaimed'No, Charlie! that I' cannot doj " And with an- astonishing lack of spirit, she let him fold her in his arms. . I have decided to have nothing more to do with my sister's loveaffairs or the family dignity. My little part is played, and now I will hide away behind the curtain with my dreams of fairies and elfs. , INSUEAIJCE. J. W.
