“T did. siih" said Monckton, “and here it is—that is to say, an attested copy; but of course sooner or later you will examine the original.” Colonel Clifford took the paper with a lirm hand, and examined it closely. “Have you any objection to my taking a copy of this'f” said he. keenly". “Of course not.” said Monckton; “indeed. I don't see why 1 should not leave this document with’you; it will be in honorable hands.” The Colonel bowed. Then he examined the document. "I see, sir.” said he. “the witness is William Hope. Mnv 1 ask if vou know this William Hope?" “I was not present at the wedding, sir.” said Monckton. ’’.so I can say nothing about the matter from my own knowledge; but if you please, I will ask tin’ lady.” “Why didn't she come herself instead of sending you?” asked the Colonel, distrustfully. “That's just what I asked her. And she said she had not the heart nor the eouniLU* to come herself. I believe she thought as I wasp, clergyman, and not directly interested. I might he more calm timn she could be, and given little less pain." "That's all stuff! If sheisafraid to come herself, she knows it's an abominable falsehood. Bring her here with whatever evidence she has got that this Walter Clifford is my son, and then we will go into this matter seriously.” Monckton was equal to the occasion. "You are unite right, sir.” said he. “And w hat business has she to put me forward as evidence of a transaction I never witiies-a d? I shall tell her you expect to see her. and that it is tier duty to dear up the affair in person. Suppose it should he another Mr. Walter Clifford, after all? When shall I tiring her, supposing 1 have sufficient inlluence?” “Bring her to-morrow,as early as you can.” "Well, you know ladies are not early risers; will twelve o’clock do?” “Twelve o'clock to-morrow , sir.” said the < 'oloncl. The sham parson took his leave, and drove aw a\ in a well-appointed carriage mil pair. 1'orw c must inform the reader that lie had written to Mr. Middleton for another tTOO. not much expecting to get it. and that it had come down by return of post in a draft on a bunk in Derby.

Stout Colonel Clifford was now a very .inhappv man. The soul of honor himself, he could md fully believe that his own son had been guilty of perfldv and crime. But how could he escape ffimV.-’ and very grave doubts too? The communication was made by a gentleman who did not really seem to know more about it than he had been told,hut then he was a clergyman, w ith no appearance of heat or nartialitv. lie had been easily convinced that the lady herself ought to have come and said more about it. and had left an attested copy of the certificate in his (Colonel Clifford's) I lands with a sort of simplicity that looked like one gentleman dealing with another. One thing, however, puzzled him sore in this certilicate—the w itness being William Hope. William Hope was not a very uncommon name, but still, somehow, that one and the same document should contain the names of Walter Clifford and William Hope, roused a suspicion in his mind that this witness was the William Hope lying in his own house so weak and ill that he did not like to go to him, and enter upon such a terrible discussion as this, lie sent for Mrs. Milton.and asked her if Mrs. Walter Clifford was quite recovered. Mrs. Milton reported she was quite well, and reading to her father. The Colonel went up-slairs and beckoned her out. “My child,” said he. “I am sorry to renew an agitating subject, hut you are a good gill, and a brave girl, and vol’ mean to coiitide in me s a.-.gr ct liter. Can yov. pity the agitation and distress '.if a lather who for C:;* first time is compelled to doubt id., son s honor?” *1 can. r sa il (irace. "Ah.something has happened since we parted; somehod? has told you; that man with a certificate!” "What, then.” said the Colonel, “is it really true? Did lie rcaiiv show v,.a that certilieate?" "He did.” “And warned you not to mam "’ni-

ter?"

“He did. and told me Walter would be put into prison if 1 did. and would die m prison, for a gentleman cannot live there nowadays. Oh, sir. don't let anybody know hiit you and me and my father. He won't hurt him for my sake; he has wronged me cruelly, but III be torn to pieces bet ore I II own my marriage, and throw him into a dun-

geon.”

“Come to mv arms.you pearlnf goodness and nohifity and oie-ellish love!” cried Colonel Clifford. “How can I ever part w ith you now I know you? There, don't let us despair, let's light to the last. I have one question to submit to you. Of course you examined thb eertilicate very carefully?” “I saw enough to break my heart. I saw that on a certain dav. many ycarsl ago. one Lucy Muller had married Wal-

ter Clifford.”

“And who witnessed the marriage?” asked the Colonel, eyeing her keenly. “Oh, I don't know that.” said Grace. “When I came to Walter Clifford.everything swam before my eyes; it was all I could do to keep from fainting away. 1 tottered into my father's study, and. as soon as I came to myself, w hat had I to do? Why, to creep but again w ith my broken heart, and face such insults— Ah! it is a wonder 1 did not fall dead at

their feet.”

"My poor girl!” said Colonel Clifford. Then tie reflected a moment. “Have you the courage to read that document again, and to observe in particular who

witnessed it?”

“I have," said «be.

He handed it to her. She took it and held it in both hands, though they trem-

bled.

“Who is the witness?”

“The witness." said Grace, “is Wil-

liam Hope.”

"Is that your father?”

“It's my father's name,” said Grace, beginning to turn her eyes inward and

think very hard.

"But is it your father, do you think?”

“No, sir, it is not.”

“Was he in that part <>f the world at

the time? llid he know Bartley? the dergvmui^r o brought me this certiti-

r - '

cate'

The clergyman!” "Yes. my dear, it was a clergyman. apparently a rector, and he told me ” "Are you sure he was a clergyman?" “Quite sure; lie had a white tie, a broad-brimmed hut, a clergyman all over; don’t go off on that, ffid your father and my son know each other in

Hull?”

“That they did. You are right.” said (■race, “this witness was my father; see that, now. But if so—Don't speak to me; don't touch me; let me think—there is something hidden here;” and Mrs. Walter Clifford showed her father-in-law that which we have seen in her more than once, hut it was quite new and surprising to Colonel Clifford. There she stood, her arms folded, hei eyes turned inward, her very feature, and even her body, seemed to think. The result eameout like lightningfroin a cloud. "It's all a falsehood.” said she. “A falsehood!”'said Colonel Clifford. “Yes. a falsehood upon the face of it. My father w itnessed this marriage, and therefore if the bridegroom had been our Walter he would never have allowed our Walter to court me. for he knew of our courtship all along, and never once disapproved of it.” “Then <h> you think it is a mistake?” said the (’olonel. eagerly. "No, I do not." said Grace. “I think it is an imposture. This man was not a clergyman when he brought me the certilicate; he was a man of business, u plain tradesman, a man of the world; lie had a colored necktie, and some rattier tawdry chains.” "Did he speak ill a kind of sing-song?” "Not at all; his voice was clear and cutting, only he softened it down once or tw ice out of what I took for good feeling at the time. He's an impostor and a villain. Dear sir. don’t agitate poor Walter or my dear father with this vile thing (she handed him hack the certilicate'. It has been a knife to both our hearts; we have suffered together, you and I. and let us get to the bottom of it together." "We shall soon do that.” said the Colonel, "for he is coming here to-mor-row again.” "All the better.” "With tlie ladv.” "What lady?”’ “The huh that calls herself Mrs. Walter (’lifford.” “Indeed!” said Grace, quite taken aback. "They must he very bold.” "Oh. for that matter," said the Colonel. “I insisted upon it; the man seemed to know nothing hut from mere hearsay. Ho knew nothing about William Hope, the witness, so 1 told him he must bring the woman; and, to be just to the man. he seemed to think so too, and that she ought to do her own busi-

ness.”

"She will not come." said Grace, rather contemptuously. “He was obliged to say she would, just to put a face upon i*. To-morrow he'll bring tin excuse instead of her. Then have vour detectives about, for be is a villain;aiid.dear sir. please receive him iu the drawingroom; then I will lied some way to get

a sight of him myself.”

"It shall be done." said the Colonel. “I begin to think with you. At all events, if the lady does not come,I shall hope it is all an imposture ora mis-

take.”

With this understanding they parted, and waited in anxiety for the morrow, hut now their anxiety was checkered with hope. To-morrow bade fair to boa busy day. Colonel Clifford, little dreaming the condition to which Ids sonuml hisguest would be reduced, had invited Jem I tavies and the rescuing part ies to feast in tents on his ow u law u and drink his home-brewed beer, and they were to bring with them such of the rescued fhiners ns might tie in a condition to feast and drink copiously. When he found that neither Hope nor his son could join these festivities, ho was very sorry' lie had named so early a day; but lie was so punctilious and precise that lie could not make up his mind to change one day for another. Soa great confectioner at Derby who sent out leasts was charged with the affair, and the Colonel's own kitchen was at his service too. That was not all. Bartley was coming to do business. This hud been preceded by a letter which Colonel Clifford, it may he remembered, bad offered to show Grace Clifford. The letter was thus worded: “Coi.ox’Er, Ci.iFFoun, A penitent man iie.'s liiunlily in ;i|)|Hi>aeli you, an l nffec what c’nip'iisataiti is in Id- nower. I deslre to pay imtm d ntely i>.

This for my life on v. sine- 1 -had l’ , ave all 1 have in .tie world to that dear child, who will now be your dainthter. and perhaps m-v r d dtrii again to look upon the erring man wtio writes these lines, "1 should like, if you please, to retain the f<o iu, ”i at all «•, .aits a hundr*<1 round ahotir the house to turn into orchards and garden* xn that I may have some emp'oy-ne-nt, far from trade and its temptanon.-, I nr the remainder of my days.” in consequence of thin letter a dr-f-d was drawn and engrossed, and Bartley had written to say lie would come li) Clifford Hall and sign it, and have it witnessed and delivered. A bout nine o'clock in t he evening one of the detectives culled on Colonel Clifford to make a private communication; his mate had spotted a swell mobsman, rather a famous character, with the esun! number of alm«i*«. but known to itie force as Mark Waddy. be was at the Dun Cow; and possessing the gift of the gab in a superlative degree, had made himself extremely popular. Thev had both watched him pretty closely, hut he seemed not to he there for a job, but otdy on the talking lay . probably soliciting information for some gang of thieves or other. He had been seen to exchange a hasty word with a clergyman; but as Mark Waddv's acquaintances were not amongst tlieelergv, that would certainly be some pal that was in something (ir other with him. “What a shrewd girl that must be!” said t he < oionel. "I beg your pardon. Colonel,”said the man. not seeing the u lcvanty of this observation. “Oh. nothing,” said the Colonel, “only 7 expect a visit to-morrow at twelve o'clock from a doubtful clergyman: just hang about the law n on the chance of my giving you a signal.” Thus while Monckton was mounting his batteries, his victims were preparing defenses in a sort of general way, though they did not see their way so clear as the enemy did. Colonel Clifford's drawing-room was a inagnitieen; Hooni, fifty feet long and U u y y feet w idc, A number of Fryich ' J * G

w indows opened on to a noble balcony, w ith three short tlights of stone steps leading down to the lawn. The central steps were broad, the side steps narrow. There were four entrances to it; two by double doors, and two by heavily curtained apertures leading' to little sul>-

sidiary rooms.

At twelve o'clock next day .what with the burst of color from the jiotted flowers on the balcony, the white tents, and the flags and streamers, and arleur sunshiny day gilding it all, the room looked a “palace of pleasure,” and no stranger peeping in could have dreamed that it was the abode of care, and about to he vGited by gloomy IVnitence and incurable Fraud. The first to arrive was Bartley, with a witness He was received kindly by Colonel Clifford and ushered into ii

small room.

He wanted another witness. So John Baker was sent for, and Bartley and he were closeted together, reading the deed, etc., when a footman brought in a card. "The Bev.’rend Alleyn Meredith.” and written underneath with a pencil, in a female hand. “Mrs. Walter

Clifford.”

“Admit them," said the Colonel,

firmly.

At this moment Grace, wlio had heard the carriage drive up to the door, peeped through one of the heavy curtains

we have mentioned.

“Has she actually come?” said siie. “She has. indeed,” said the Colonel, looking very grave. "Will you stay and

receive her?”

"Oh no.” said Grace, horrified; "-but I'll take a good look at her through this curtain. I have made a little hole on purpose.” Then she slipped into the little room and drew the curtain. The servant opened the door, and the false rector walked in, supporting on his arm a dark woman, still very beautiful; very plainly dressed, but well dressed, agitated, yet self-possessed. "Be seated, madam,” sum the Colonel. After a reasonable pause he began to

question her.

“You were married on the eleventh Jay of .lime, isus.to a gentleman of the name of Waller Clifford?”

"I was. sir.”

“May I ask how long you lived w ith

him?”

The lady buried her fare in herhands The question took her by surprise, and this was a woman's artifice togain time

and answer cleverly.

But the ingenious Monckton gave it a happy turn. "Boor thing! Poor tiling!”

said lie.

"He left me the next day,” said Lucy, “and I have never seen him since.” Here Monckton interposed; lie fancied he I ad seen life curtain move. “Excuse me,” said he. "I think there is somebody listening!” and hewent swiftly and put his head through thecurtain.. But the room was emptv: for meantime Grace was so surprised by the lady's arrival, by her beauty. which might well have tempted any man. by her air of respectability, that she change’ 1 her tactics direef!?, and she was gone toiler father for advice and information in spite of her pievious determination not to worry him in his present condition. U hat lie said t" her can be hi ietl eleswhere; what heordered herto do wastoreturn and watch the man and

not the woman.

During Lucy's hesitation, which was somewhat long, a clergy man came to

the window , looked in. and

weep; ms tears bum me. 1 don't care for the man; I'll go no further. You. sir, have taken a deal of trouble ami expense. I dare say Colonel Clifford will couiiiensate you; I leave the mattei with you. Xo power shall make meaet in it any more. Monckton wrote hastily on his card, and said, quite calmly. “'Well. I really think, madam, you are not lit to take part in such a conference as this. Compose yourself and retire. I know yom mind in the matter better than \c>u do yourself at this moment, and I will act accordingly.” She retired, and drove away to the Dun Cow. which was tin* place” Monokton had appointed when lie wrote upon the card. "Colonel Clifford.” said Monckton. “all that is a woman's way. When she is out ofsightof you, and thinks over her desertion and her unfortunate condition- neither maid. wife, nor w illow —she will be angry with me if I don't obtain her some compensation.” “She deserves compensation," said the Colonel gravely. “Especially if she holds her tongue,” said Monckton. “Whether she holds her tongue or not,” said the Colonel. “I don't sec how I can hold mine, and you have already told my daughter-in-law. A separation between her and my son is inevitable. The compensation must be offered, am! God help me. I 'm a magistrate, if only to compound the felony .” “Surely." said Monckton, ‘ it can he put upon a wider footing than that; let me* think,” and he turned away to the open window; but when he got there he saw a lot of miners clustering about. Now he had no fearof theirrecognizing him. since he had not left a vestige of the printed description. But the very sight of them, amt the memory of what they had done to his dead accomplice, made him shudder at them. I lenceforth lie kept away from the window, and turned tiis back to it. “I think with you, sir.” said he,mellifluous])'. "that she ought to have a few thousands by way of compensation. You know she could claim alimony.and be a very blister to you and yours. But on the other hand 1 do think, ns an impartial person, that she ought to keep this sad secret most faithfully, and even take her maiden name again." Whilst Monckton was making this impartial proposal Bartley opened the door, and was coining forward with his deed, when he heard a voice he recognized; and partly liv that, parti? by the tel low s thin lips he i ecogni/.cd It in, and said, "Monckton! That villain

here!”

"Monckton.” said Colonel Clifford, “that is not his name. It is Meredith. He is a clergyman.” Bartley examined him very suspiciously, and Monckton, during this examination, looked perfectly calm and innocent. Meantime a note’was brought tw Colonel Clifford from Grace: “Capa was thewilness. Ha is quite sure the bridegroom was not our Waller, lie thinks it inus' have been the other clerk, Leonard Monekton, who robbed .Mr. Burt ley, and put some of the money into dear Waller's pockets to ruin him, but papa suv td

But we ato interrupting Colonel Clif-

ford's interrogatories.

"Madam, w hat makes you think this

“Indeed, sir. I don't know.” said the lady, and looking around the room with some signs of distress. "I begin to hope it was not your son. He w as a tall voting man. almost as tall as yourself. He was very handsome, with brow.i hair and blown eyes, and seemed incap-

able of deceit.”

“Have you any letters of his?” asked

the (Olonel.

"I had a great many, sir.” said she, “hut I have not kept them all.” “Have you one?” said the Colonel,

sternly.

“Oh. yes. sir.” said Lucy, “I think I must have nearer twenty; hut wlmt good w’ill they he?” said she, affecting

“Why. mv dear madam.” said Monckton.
