“Part of the truth!" said Bella. “Oh, what deceitful thing's you men are! Leave me alone, James, 1 will speak. I won't sit by and hear poor, dear Miss Collum deceived in this way. Miss Collum, ask him if that is all he knows about it. Ask him and see what he

Bella.
“If you think so, Miss suppose you must say so. ”
“I do say it,” said Bella; “for it's a ! sorrowful sight to see meekness all run to poorness of spirit. You have a right to an explanation from Mr. Tweddle I there, and you would insist on it if you wasn’t afraid (and with good reason)
of the answer you'd get!”
At the beginuing of the short colloquy Miss Tweddle, after griWving very red and restless for some minutes, had slipped out of the room, and came in now, trembling and out of breath, with a bonnet in her hand and a cloak over
her arm.
“Miss Parkinson,” she said, speaking very rapidly, “when I asked you to come here with my good friend and former lodger 1 little thought that anything but friendship would come with it; and sorry I am that it has turned out otherwise. And my feelings to Mr. Jauncy are the same as ever; hut—
“Miss Parkinson," he said, “I've been badgered long enough. What is it you're trying to bring up against me about your sister Ada! Speak it out, and I'm ready to answer you!" “Leander,” said Matilda, “I don't want to hear it from her. Only you tell me yoti've been true to me, ami that is
quite enough.”
“Matilda, you’re a foolish girl and I don't know what you’re talking about, ” ■aid her mother. “It is not enough for me; so I beg, young woman, if you've anything to accuse the man who's to bo | my son-in-law of you'll say it now, in I my presence, and let him contradict it

“ Will he contradict his knowing my sister Ada, who’s one of the ladies at

rect; the relief of finding T.enr.der gtiiltless on the main count had blinded her to all minor shortcomings, and he had the happiness of knowing himself fully and freely forgiven. If this could only have been the end: hut, while he was still throbbing with bliss, he heard a sound, at which his “bedded hair" started up and stood on end- the ill-omened sound of a slow and
heavy footfall.
“Leandy,” cried his aunt, “how
strange you’re looking!"
“There's some one in the passage," ho said, hoarsely; “I'll go and see her.
Don't any of you come out!"
“ Why, it's only our Jane,” said his aunt; “she always treads heavy.” The steps were heard going up the stairs: then they seemed to pause halfj way and descend again. “I’ll tie bound ! she forgot something,” said Miss Twed- | die; "I never knew such a head as that girl's,” and Leander began to be almost
reassured.
The steps were heard in the adjoining room, which was shut off by fold-ing-doors from the one they were oc-

Bella hurst into tears, and demanded from Mr. Jauncy why he had brought her there to be insulted. “You brought it all on yourself," he said, gloomily;! “you should have behaved!” “What have 1 done,” cried Bella, “to | be told to go, as if I wasn’t fit to stay?” “I'll tell you what you've done," said Miss Tweddle; “you were askvd here with Mr. Jauncy to meet my 4ear Leandy and his young lady, and get all four of you to know one another, and lay foundations for Friendship's flowery bonds. And from the moment you came in, though I paid no attention to it at first, you’ve done nothing but insinuate and hint, and try all you could to set my dear Miss Collum and her ma against my poor, unoffending nephew! and I won’t sit by any longer and hear it. Put on your bonnet and cloak, Miss Parkinson, and Mr. Jauncy (who knows I don't bear him any ill feeling, whatever happens) will go home with
you. ”
“I've said nothing,” repeated Bella, “but what I had a right to say and what I'll stand to. ” “If you don't put on those things,” said Jauncy, “I shall go away myself and leave you to follow as best you
can. ”
“ I’m putting them on,” said Bella, and her hands were unsteady with passion as she tied her bonnet-strings. “Don’t bully me, James, because I won't bear it. Mr. Tweddle, if you’re ' a man will you sit there and tell me you don’t know that that ring is on a certain person's linger—will you do
that?”
The miserable man concluded that Ada had disregarded ids entreaties and told her sister all about the ring and the accursed statue. He could not see why the story should have so inflamed Bella, but her temper was always uncertain. Everybody was looking at him and he was expected to say something. His main idea was that he would see how much Bella knew before committing himself. “What have I ever done to offend you," he asked, “that you turn on me in this downright vixenish manner? I scorn to reply to your insinuations!" “Do you want me to speak out plain? James, stand away if you please! You may all think what you choose of me, 1 don't care. Perhaps if you were to come in and find the man who, only a I week ago, had offered marriage to your youngest sister, figuring away as engaged to quite another lady, you wouldn't be all milk and honey, either! I'm doing rigid to expose him; the man who'd deceive one would deceive many, and so you'll find, Miss Collum, little as you think of it!" “That's enough,” said Miss Tweddle; “it's all a mistake, I'm sure, and you'll be sorry some day for having made it. Now go. Miss Parkinson, and make no more mischief!” A light had burst in upon Leander's perturbed mind. Ada had not broken faith with him after all. He remembered Bella's conduct during the return from Roshurwich, and understood at last to what a mistake her present I wrath was due. Here, at all events.was an accusation he could repel with dignity.with truth, j Foolish and unlucky he had been, and 1 how unlucky he still hoped Matilda' ! might never learn: but false he was not, and she should not be allowed to believe it.

Paul's,” protested Leander. “I dance with her, I own. not to seem uncivil; but we only waltzed round twice. ” “Then why did you give her the ring —an engagement ring, too?” insisted
Hella.
“ Who saw me give her a ring?” he demanded hotly; “do you dare to say you did? Did she ever tell you I gave her a ring? You know she didn't!" “ If I can't trust my own ears,” said Bella, “1 should like to know what I can trust. I heard you myself in the railway carriage ask my sister Ada not to tell any one about some ring, and I tried to get out of Ada afterwards what the secret was, but she wouldn't treat me as a sister and be open with me. But any one with eyes in their head could guess what was between you, and all the time you were an engaged
man! ”
“See there, now!" cried the injured hairdresser; “there's a thing to go and make all this mischief about! Matilda, Mrs. Collum, aunt, I declare to you I told the — the other young woman everything about my having formed new ties and that I was very particular not to give rise to hopes which were only doomed to be disappointed. As to what Miss Parkinson says she overheard, why it's very likely I may have asked her sister to Say nothing about a ring,and I won't deny it was the very same ring that 1 was to have brought here to-day, for the fact was, I had the misfortune to lose it in those very gardens and naturally did not wish it talked about; and that's the truth, as I stand here. As for giving it away, I swear I never parted with it to no
mortal woman!”
“After that. Bella.” observed Mr. Jauncy, “you'd better say you’re sorry you spoke, and come home with me—
that's what you'd better do!”
“I shall say nothing of the sort.” she asserted; “ I'm too much of a lady to stay where my company is not desired, and I'm ready to go as soon as you please. But if he was to talk his head off, he would never persuade me (whatever he may do other parties) that he's not been playing doable, and if Ada were here you would soon see whether he would have the face to deny it. So good night. Miss Tweddle, and sooner or later you'll find yourself undeceived iu your precious nephew,take my word for it. Good night, Miss Collum, and I’m only sorrow you haven't more spirit
than to put up with such
And his foreboding was justified to the full. The doors yielded to the blow, and. opening wide,revealed the tail and commanding figure of the goddess; her face, thanks to Leander's pigments, glowing life-like under her hood, and the gold ring gleaming on her out-
stretched hand.
“ Leander, ” said the goddess, in her low musical accents, “come away!” “Upon my word!” cried Mrs. Collum, “who is this person?" He could not speak. There seemed to be a hammer beating on his brain,reducing it to a pulp. “Perhaps," said Miss Tweddle, “perhaps. young lady, you'll explain what
you've come for?”
The statue slowly pointed to Leander. “I come for him.” she said, calmly; “he has vowed himself to me—ho is
mine!”
Matilda, after staring, incredulous, for some moments at the intruder,sunk with a wild scream upon the sofa and hid her face. Leander flew to her side. “Matilda, my own,” he implored, “don't lie alarmed; she won't touch you—it’s me she come after!” Matilda rose and repulsed him with sudden energy. “How dare you!” she cried, hysterically. “I see it all now; the ring, the—the cloak, she had them all the time! Fool that I was—silly, trustful fool!” And she broke out into violent hysterics. “Go away at once, hypocrite!” enjoined her mother, addressing the distracted hairdresser as he stood, dumb and impotent, before her. “Do you want to kill inv poor child? Take yourself off!" “For goodness sake go, Leandy,” added his aunt; “I can't bear the sight of you!” “Leander, I wait,” said the statue. “Come!" He stood there a moment longer,looking blankly at the two elder women as they bustled about the prostrate girl, and then he gave a bitter deflunt
laugh.
His fate was too strong for him. No one was in the mood to listen toany explanation; it was all over! “I'm coming.” he said to the goddess; “I may as well; Fin not wanted here!" And. with a smothered curse, he dashed blindly from the room ami out into the foggy street.

James, are you going to keep me wait-
ing any longer?"
Mr. Jauncy, with confused apologies to the company generally, hurried his betrothed off, in no very amiable mood; and showed his sense of her indiscretions by indulging in some very plain speaking on their homeward way. As the street door shut behind them, Leander gave a sigh of relief. “Matilda, my own dearest girl,” he said, “now that the cockatrice has departed. tell me, you don't doubt your
Leander, do you?”
“No,” said Matilda, judicially, “I don't doubt you, Leander; only I do wisli you'd be a little more open with me; you might have told me you had gone to those gardens and lost the ring, instead of leaving me to hear it from
that girl. ”
“No I might.darling,” ho owned; “but I thought you'd disapprove.” “And if slies my daughter," observed Mrs. Collum, “she will disap-
prove!"
But it was evident from Matilda's

As I « was thinking of his g'ooiny prospects he noticed, for the first time, that tie statue was keeping stop by his side,and he turned on her with smothered rage. “Well,” he began, “I hope you're satis-
fied?”
“•Juite, Leander, quite satisfied; foi have I not found you?” “Oh, you've found me right enough!’ 1 he replied with a groan, “trust you for that! What I should like to know is, how the dickens you did it?” “Thus,” she replied: “l awoke and it was dark,and you were not there and I needed you,and I went forth and called you by your name. And you, now that you have hearkened to my call, you arc happy, are you not?” “Me?” said Leander, grimly. “Oh, I'm regular jolly, I am. Haven't I rea-

coming,” she said; “why?" “Well," said Leander, “they aren't used to having marble goddesses drop' ping in on them promiscuously.” “The youngest wept: was it because 1 took you from her side?” “I shouldn't wonder," he returned gruffly; “don't bother me!" When they were both safely with n the little upper room again lie open d the cupboard door wide. “Now inarm, 1 he said, in a voice which trembled with repressed rage, “you must Ik* tired with the exercise j’ou've took this evening, and PH trouble you to walk in here.” “There are many things on which I would speak with you,” she said. “You must keep them for next time," he answered, roughly. “If you can see anything,you can see that just now I'm not in a temper to stand it, whatever 1 may lie another evening.” “Why do I suffer this language from you?” she demanded, inuignantly — “why?” “If you don't go in you'll hear language you'll like still less, goddess or no goduess," he said, foaming. "I mean it. I've been worked up past all bearing, and I advise you to let me alone just now or you'll rep-nt it!" “Enough!” she said, haughtily, an^ stalked proudly into the lonely niche, which he closed instantly. As he did so he noticed his Sunday papers lying still folded on his table and seized one eagerly. “It may have something in it about what Jauncy was telling me of,” he said; and his search was rewarded by the following praragraph: Daring Capture of Buriflars In Bloomsbury. —On the iiiiciit of Friday, the —th. Police Constable Yorke, B WA4, while on iluty, in the 1 jourso of one of ills rounds, discovered two men in a fainting condition and covered with blood, which was apparently flowing from sundry wounds upon their persons, lying against the railings of Queen sSijuaro. Being ; unable to give any coherent account of themselves, and house-breaking implements being found in their possession, they were at once removed to the Bow Street Station, where the charge having been entered against them,they wore recogn zed by a member of the force as two notorious house breakers who have long been “warned" in connection with the Walham Green burglary, in which, as will he remainbored, an oilicer lost his life. The paragraph went on to give their names and sundry other details, and concluded with a sentence which plunged Leander into fresh torments: “In spite of the usual caution, both prisoners insisted upon volunteering a statement, the exact nature of which has not yet transpired, but which is believed to have reference to another equally mysterious outrage—the theft of the famous Venus from the Wrieklemarsh collection^—and is understood to divert suspicion into a hitherto unsuspected channel.” VVbat could this mean, if not that those villains, smarting under their second failure, had denounced him in revenge? He tried to persuade himself that the passage would bear any other construction, but not very successfully. “If they have brought me in,” he thought, and it was his only gleam of consolation, “I should have heard of it before this." And even this gleam vanished as a sharp knocking was heard below, and, descending to open the door, he found his visitor to tie Inspector Billbow. “Evening, Tweddle,” said the Intpector quietly. “I’ve come to have another little talk with you.” Leander thought he would play his part till it became quite hopeless. "Proud to see you, Mr. Inspector,” he said. “ Will you walk into my saloon, and I'll light the gas for you.” “No,don’t you trouble yourself,” said the terrible man. “I'll walk upstairs where you’re sitting yourself, if you've no objections. ” Leander dared not make any. and be ushered the detective upstairs accordingly.
