-OCTOBER 20, 1S5S iiOW I vYAS YitsTlMlZKD. I will not mention the name of the firm with which I was some years ago - connected, bat let it suffice that their name vas well known in the jewelry trade. I was with them some twelve cr fcurt?ea years, and it was during that period that the incident I am about to relate occurred. I was seated one day busily examiniri some stones which were to be reset, when the principal came softly in. "Lock those up, Willis," he said, "and go and attend to those parties in the tront show-room. Thomas is with them, and I don't half like their looks." I hurried into the show room to relieve Mr. Thomas of his task, an proceeded to listen to the demands of a tall lady and gentleman in blacK both of whom wore respirators, and snoke in low. huskv voices. Ihe gen tleman looked verv Dale and ill. and the lady was very closely veiled as to the upper part of ccr race; due upon niv annroach she threw upheriall and displayed the bright bold eyes of a verv handsome WOEQSU. "Well. Lilla, what's it to be?" said the centleman. "I thought you had decided, love,' was the reply. "Something simple. and not too expensive now, whatever we may decide upon hereafter. Why not keep to what you said a brace let or across?" I procoeded to open case after case of bracelets of all prices, but though they were la&tidious and hard to please, I wa3 bound to confess tho lady's taste was excellent, and tho gentleman was no mean connoisseur in gems. I rather like that." said the gen tleman at last, selecting; a very pretty but slight bracelet, set with a sap phire, surrounded by pearls. "What is the price?" ' P . ' "That is sixty guineas." I said. "Yes, it's pretty enough," said tho lady; "but not sufficiently good." "You mean not valuable enough," said the gentleman; "but you know the old proverb ibout the gift horse. Lucille will, not study the value, depend upon it; and, beside?, I don't see anything I like half so well." "Have it then, dear, was the reply; and then, directly after, "Ah, what a sweet cross!" exclaimed the lady, looking at an enamel and gold ornament lying in a case and which I immediately opened for I must con fess I had almost forgotten our prin cipal s suspicions. It is a sweet little thing! exclaimed the lady, examining the cross ; such a fine pearl, too, in the centre. I shoul&like it." "What, to give to Lurille?" said the gentleman, smiling. ".No: of course not. I fancied it myself!" What i? the price of the cross?" said the gentleman. I named it. " It seems a good deal for so small an ornament, said the gentleman, turning and returning the cross, but, after a little hesitation, he decided to take i. "Where can I send these, sir?" I inquired. "Ah! we'll take them," said the lady; "Wo will not trouble you to send." I explained that it would be no trouble, but they held to their determination; and on payment being requested, the gentleman drew out a cheque-book, asked for pen and ink, and wrote a cheque for one hundred and ten guineas upon a small city bank. Now it was that my lip3 become a little tighter, and 1 feh that the principal had had some cause for his suspicions: and thoroughly on my euard 1 took the cheque, and explain ed that it was a rule of 'the establishment that goods should not be delivered until a cheque had been presented. "Ah, quite right, quite right," said the gentleman quietly, and without displaying tho elightctt annoyance. " I can easily suppose that you are obliged to be careful.'1 But the lady looked angry, and ro- i turned my bow very distantly, as I ushered them out, having promised to seed the purchases on to the fashionable hole! Moore's, in Brook Street at which they were staying. " As a farco, but well carried out," I said to the principal as he came up to me, and 1 showed him the check and the card given me, bearing the name, " Mr. II. Elliston Iloss," and in pencil, "Moore'B Hotel." " But we'll bend the check ait the same. Here, Johnson." The principal shrugged his shoul ders; and as Jch.ison came up to where I wa3 carefully running over the various items of jewelry, to see that nothing had been stolen, I gave him the check, and he went cityward. To our intense astonishment, at an hour's end, Johnson returned, smil10 " AH right, sir," he said. V Why, you don't mean" "All right, sir," ho said. " Check cashed in an instant; hundred and fifteen pounds ten shillings." A month passed, when on: cold January day I wa3 in the show room, and the same lady made her appearance alone. She stiil wore her respirator, but looked very pale haggard and troubled. The bold look seemed to have gone from her eyes; and as I recalled my thoughts, I felt that I had misjudged her, for ehe began to speak tenderly of her husband, Mr. Ross, who was lying very ill at the hotel. " I have brought back the cro33 to bo repaired,, she said, drawing the little morocco case from tcr rich sable muff. "The ring was too slight; and it brcke from my necklet the second time it was worn. I had a narrow escape of losing it; but Mr. Ross found it himself upon the lawn, trodden into the grass. I thought I would Icavo it until we come ur again. Of course, you can repair it." I expressed my sorrow, and promised to have it seen to at once. You need not hurry for a few da3'3. Mr. Ross i3 in town to consult Sir Ealing Dean, and 1 fear he will send us to Madeira. This climate is killing my poor husband." "Our friend was delighted with the little bracelet, a gift which Mr. Ros3 wishes to supplement with something a little more valuable. Perhaps I could be allowed to select a few things for you to submit to his choice at the hotel? I know his taste now pretty well, and it will save trouble." "Anything you would like to select shall be sent ma'am," I said ; and I then proceeded to open and display to their best advantage somo very valuable bracelets, which were one and all rejected. "Yes," she eaid tadly, "they are all very handsome, but Mr. Ross would not like them.Iam sure,and it is useless to tako things on that he would not approve. Hi9 taste was always good; and as his health fails, it seems to have acquired an indiscribabla tone that 1 cannot explain, except that it is artistic and dreamy." "Itionly fair to ay," eaid the

WFDNESDAY

lady smiling at least, I could see that she wa3 smilin?, in spite of her r-spirator "that Mr. Ross will not purchase many of these eles-ant orna

ments. I know ho would like a watch and chain, and a ring. Perhaps, too, if he admired them, one of those pearl suites: but I thoueht it better to sreak. a3 since his illness ho has become, not irritable but but perhaps a little hard to please, and I should be 6orry if he rejectad everythng you brought." . So much delicacy was displayed in these remarks that I could only courteously assure her that we should only be too happv to attend again and agatu upon Mr. Ross till we had hit upon something that ho admired; and nnon promising to send the selected goods on the next morning at eleven, our visitor ro3e to go. "I would ask you to send this afternoon," said the lady, on rising, but I don't think Mr. Ross quite well enough. He saw our physician this morning, and the interviews are always very trying to his nerves." I placed the little cross in the workmen s hands for repair; and the next morning, punctually at eleven, I was at Moore's Hotel, accompanied by a porter with a goodly assortment of jewelry. A lew words with the man ager set me quito at ease, though my i inquiries were a mere matter of form. Mr. Elliston Ross lived in Yorkshire, owned coal miaes, and was in town to visit the court physician, Sir Ealing! Dean; had been there once before for the sarae reason: perfect gentleman;, his lady quite an angel waited on i him night and day, I was shown into I tho room where Mrs. Ross was seated this time without her respirator. She rose with a sad smile, and motioned me to a seat: while putting on her respirator she went into the next room, remaining absent a lew minutes; and then returning, requested me to bring ia my cases for Mr. llosa to see. I had left the porter down stairs: so, takinz up the two small leathern boxes, I followed Mrs. RosJ into a slightly snaded room, where, looking deathly pale, the gentleman who had visited our place ot business lay upon a couch reading a newspaper. lie wa3 attired in a blue cloth dress ing-gown, and had a small table drawn up to hii side, on which were a bottle, glass, and a carauc3 which seemed to contain barley water, lie too wore a respirator; nut ne removed it tor a ew moments to take a little 01 the barley water, and then carefully re placed it, coughing hollowly the while. oorry to bring you into a sick room, lie said courteously. borry, in fact, to bring you here at all, for I would much rather havo chosen the trifle or two I wanted at your shop. trust you have not brought many things, thought iio then listlessly examined first one and then another ornament, as I opened them out, but always witn a dissatisfied air. "Don't you like those, dear?" said Mrs. lloss, in rather disappointed tones, as 1 displayed in the best lights the pearl suite. "No; not at all," Baid the invalid. Too plain; almost vulgar." " Might I be allowed to suceest." I said earnestly, " that to eca pearls to advantage, they must be worn. It is a well-known fact that pearls are gems which show to as great advantage upon a dark as upon a fair complexion, and if your lady" I paused here and glanced toward Mrs. lloss, who smiled graciously, and then clasped the bracelet round her bapcly wrist, the necklace over her fine throat, and placed the tiara in her hair looking at most regal as she tood before us. You see the difference," I said, drawing baclc. Yes. yes." EaM the invalid im patiently; " they look well enough on her; but they are tor quite a girl. Tako them off, Lalla." Here. Jjilla. jttve me a class of sherry. Confound this thing, it chokes me." lie tore off the respirator, and hurled it to the other end of the room. "Tor my sake, dear," I heard her whisper to him, as, stepping lightly across the room, she picked up the respirator and brought it back. "Well, there; get out tho sherry, then," ho said, pettishly, as he took back tho instrument. "No, no, dear: Sir Ealing said" "Confound Sir Ealing! If I am to die, let me die comfortably, and not be tortured to death. Get out tho sherry, I say and the port too." I saw a tear trickle down Mrs. Ross's cheek as sho fetched a couple of decantars from a side-board where they stood with glasses. . "Haven't you some cake, or did you send it down?'' ho said impatiently. "I have it here, dear," said Mn, E033, softly; and she placed a portion of a small pound-cake on the table. concluded to-morkow. INSTJUAIICE.
