Reverently I took charge of the poor bov'i legacy to his slater, his medaU sal croeavs, won at the peril of his life, ami soon afterwards fate led me Wk to SuroM. Jack's sister was in Paris, and thither 1 was ger to betake myself with all possible speed, to resign my tharge, and, if possible, on the strength f mjr intimacy with Jack, to win a place in his sister's regard. If a fellow can fall in love with a photograph and a glowing description, 1 thanks to poor Jaek s affectionate eloquence,, was in love with Mora Moncrieff. I believed that my comrade's half-uttered wish when dying ai that I might win the right to pro Wet Mora. But, then, there was Dylan Who was Dysnrt, any way? Orariy I had better remove all unninty upon this point aa soon as JkMsible. Arrived at Marseille. I found a letter from my aunt, Mrs. Carriaton, begging me to visit her for a few days at Mentone, as she bad aa important matter to dbu with me. This invitaUoa, interfering as it dkl with my desire to seek ont Mora at once, whs mot unwelcome; particularly as I strongly suspected the reason of my aunt's ardent wish to see me- She bad doubtless been playing a little too recklessly at Monte Carlothe hive of gambling being a long-established infirmity with her and wan toil me to help her out of a tight plaee. Well, we good turn deserves another; in my hreml-and-jam days many a half sovewgn had found its way from Attnt Carriston's purse to my jacket-pocket why should not put a cheerful faoe kpon tlte matter and befriend her now? though I devoutly wished the sumntotui had eome at any other time. Accustomed as I had been of bite to the very light attire of African ladles on their native soil, my aunt's toilet d appearance struck me forcibly. &he was a haatbHHue woman, perfectly aware of the fact, and the rustling, tinkling and faint odor of tmtchouli h!ch accompanied her morements attracted an attention which was not, on the whole, itl-paid for the trouble it took to look. She wore her silkyhUe hair high above her still fair forehead; some soft-tinted shawl hung uftttallv about her silken shoulders in a loose, picturesque fashion; n glltteriM protushm of costly rings detracted from the beauty of her bandit, and Pendant from her waist dangled a bewiWerlng array of ornaments, mostly consider Wo value a velvet bag ith massive silver clasns. embossed aixl ewel-ttdM scent-bottles, and a nWriuine so hmdecl down with trinkt tkwt It was as if she had dragged a rohA-bHk aeroee a kwelrmnww, retalMug all the mumti-

I thottgnt this diapiajr vulgar te Um extreme, but coMteated myself with expressing a fear that she aright be robbed some fine day M o of iur walks abroad, aa she perslstsd iu wearing all this warpauit indoors and '-.it. Dun't be a fussy old granny befom your time. Wry, dear,' was all i)u thanks 1 got for my solicitude. "1 haven't lived tea years on the Riviera for nothing" (she had not, as her losees at Monte Cr could tuatify) "and I'm quite able to take care of myself and my proierty. We have, forturn' ely, outlived the days of highway robberies uHn public thoroughfare." My aunt had kuowuJuck MoncriefTs family in past years, and was deeply interested in my mission to Paris. Very reluctantly, to satisfy her almost obilduh pleading. I showed her Jack's souvenirs, placed in my bands iu trust for his sbter. Jt seemed a sacrilege to roduee them iu such an atmosphere, y aanoyauee was extreme wbeu Aunt Carriston bogged to Imi allowed the custody of these valuables until evening; as she particularly desired to show them to a friend. 1 refused at flint, but her voluble pleading at last made me weakly give iu. A lew hours later, aa I was particularly distinguishing myself over a game of billiards, a fellow brought me a note summoning me to the Hotel dec Palmier, where my aunt lived, with all possible speed. Here I found a pretty state of commotion. Mrs. Carriston, my aun, had been attacked in tlte avenue, and robbed, the thief escaping with his plunder. As soon as I had ascertained that my respected relative bad eome off without bodily hurt, 1 could not re IH'ee an unworthy feeling of inward triumph at my astute prediction being

m promptly and forcibly verified, but I. of course, maintained a discreet silence upon this point while listening to the victim's account of her misfortune. "I was returning to luncheon leisurely enough," she began, "when, on turning info that quiet bit of ilox-waik, I wax startled by a man jumping over the hedge and saying something to me which I did not understand.. Then, all in a dash, he.pushed me back against a tree, clapped one hand over my mouth -oh, such a dirty hand 1 and with the other tore oiT my bag, the chatelaine, nd all the rest of it. He got some of my bracelet, too, though I don't quite know how many. Then he bolted, and how I did yell ! but it was of no use. A cloud of waiters went scudding down the road after the rascal, but he wan too quick for them. I'm very sorry, Larry, but those medals and things of poor young Momerieff were In the bag. Tiiey were fortunately not of muoh value, and I don't suppose" " Good heavens 1 you don't mean to say the thief bus got Jack's last gtfta to his sister 1" 1 cried. In horrified dismay. "Yes, they are gone; but what are those bits of things esmtpared with my btaek pearls, the real Indian ftligree, and" I interrupted with some exclamation more forcible than polite, I fear, for I was vaguely eonscioua of my aunt's gaxingat me in high dudgeon. What a fool 1 had been to allow Jack's trust to leave my hands for a moment! I was no more fitted to be given such a hum ion than any rascally blackleg. Could I ever hold up my head again at the bare thought of Mora Mourrieff, whom I had so wronged with my dastardly carelessness ? and for looking in her face, how con Id I dare do that, unless these stolen goods count be recovered ? They must be recovered ; if It took my lat penny, I would win back poor Jack's legacy, or never know a light conscience again. "What was the fellow like, aunt, who made the attack ? " I asked, with flattering eagerness, provided my de sire hail been to search for her stolen treasures. "A shortish, stumpy man, with a broad nose, and amill, dark eyes. One of hit hands had the letters S. M branded on the back," This was a useful and important clew which the police officer noted with avidity, and I shortly had the as surance that the best measures possible for tracing the criminal would be taken at once. My state of mind bordered on do iteration, and I eoidd not see no ele t way out of my difficulty. I shrank from presenting mjself before Miss Monerieff minus her brother's gift, ami yet she must wonder at my non appearance, having been tola oi my mission by DysarU On the other hand, I loathed the idea of tarrying at Mentone, where the mishap had occurred. In tho midst of my perplexities I heard th day after the robbery that suspicious characters had been tracett to Marseilles, one of whom might turn out to be the man we desired to entrap. Marseilles nelnir a step towards Mora, 1 decided to betake myself thither, to find out if there was any satisfactory truth iu this statement, My onlr eomnanion in the railway carriage was a sharp-featured lady of uncertain ajm, with muititMinoun par oelA Mid bags. Hot wishing to annoy her with attempt at eeurersation which mnrht be unwelcome, I retired behind my newspaper, and forgot the ladv'a existent. Though t stared fixedly at the print ed page, my mind was miles away with Mora, whom I was fused perhaps never to aee. My bitttr-swset reverie was disturbed unexpectedly by my t rare ling companion twitehing nervously nt the corner of my payer. I looked at her iu astonbthment, mm! saw that the was muck agitated; she drew th paper from my hand, preaciug her finger to her lip to enjoin ailsuce.

I'm in for some sort of a rom intlc

aot-to with a cruay woman, I thought to my Mil. as i iu voluntarily gianood at the ai trm-signal on tuo wall opposite. xue I any wrote nastily sme words upon the m&rgin of my paper, uhich she th:ii retiiruod. I read: There it a man hidden un der tlte seat; aru we in danger of au attack F" Much puzxled to know whether my companion was oi her head, or really frighteued with cause, I wrote in reply: " Are you sure? Dkl you see him get in?" 0 "No, I felt him; he clutched at my foot," was scribbled hastily beneath tny query. Surely no would-be highway robber could be so injudicious as to assail the anklet of bit victims before beginning a more violent attack, so with a patriarchal, reassuring smile, I inscribed: "Probably it was only a dog." "JSo; I felt his fingers. Shall we not stop the train? Something must be done!" she wrote, vigorously underlining the last words. It was clearly my doty to Investigate the cause of my fair neighbor's growing alarm, so with astute caution I asked with marked distinctness if the lady objected to 'tobacco-smoke, contorting my face the while with signs that she was to answer in the negative. She confessed to a decided prefer ence for the odor of a good cigar. "Thank you for the permission, madam; deprived of my smoke, I really suffer." It was such a relief to speak after our solemn interchange of written sentiments upon the ragged edge of the limes, that I was prepared to give utterance to any amount of garrulous platitudes. 1 lighted & match, talking volubly the while, and when it was biasing, purjvosely dropped it upon the floor, exclaiming noisily ft my own awkwardness: "It was my last match, too. I really must try to save a spark of it to light my cigar." 1 stooped to pick up the burnt fragment, and took one sharp, cotuprehensive lance beneath the seat. My companion was "right a man erwtcbed and huddled there among the shadow. His face was turned away, but I saw his hand dearly, upon the back of which the letters "S. M." were legible through tbe dirt and grime. At sight of this villainous-looking hand niy heart began a merry dance. Not from fear my self-respect obliges me to protest ngninit this possible imputation but because we seemed to have in our clutches the rogue who had stolen poor Jack's medals. I might dare to present myself before Mora, after all, instead of hanging back like a whipped hound. "Am I not right?" the lady said, with her oves this time, instead of with her pencil. fellow in charge as toon ae possible. Don't hit him knew w suspect his presence." I reflected that our precaution of writing every thing referring to the culprit was pern apt needless, as a common thief from the Kiviera woukt scarcely be likely to understand -English; still, in suoh eases, the extreme of prudence was better than the lack of it altogether. The half-hour elapsing between the discovery of this man and our arrival at the next station was fraught with ill-concealed terror for the sharp-facvd ltdv, and much repressed excitement for me. Would the man dash out, and either attack me or make good his nscape before the train stopped? Far better for me to be worsted in a tussle with him than to lose him and hi booty forever. I could not form a guess as to his strength, not having seen more of him than the branded hand. For the lady's take, I devoutly hoped we might be spared a scuffle. Presently, to my intense relief, tbe train began to slacken its speed, and the hoarse voice of the guard shouting the name of the station sounded like celestial music in my ears. I seined ttKn the first official I conld find, as we stopped, and he collecting tbe deired force, made short work of arresting tlte man who was stealing hit ride. He was dragged forth with very little resistance; he saw how useless a fight would be, and was soon in safe enstody. To my inexpressible joy, poor Jack's medals were found upon the thief s person, together with the greater part of my aunt's property. The man, a hardened scamp, was dwpoeed for joking und sarcasm upon the subject of his own detection. " Were you mad or asleep when you betrayed yourself by touching that lady's foot?" I asked. "Why, you see, sir," he replied, with a leer, ' those Englishwomen have such stick of legs covered with black stock ings, 1 mistook this old girl's for the leg of the bench, and took hold of it to give myself a bit of a rest. Kever was a fellow so upoet in his -calculation than I was when that leg moved. It was an unlucky mistake." Whether her ankles were those of a sylph, or like drumsticks, I was devoutly thankful to this lady for the rxtk her black stockings had played in helping me to recover my stolen property. As I assisted her into the train for the conclusion of her journey, I inadvertently snw for myself that the thievish rascal's mistake about the leg of the bench was not altogether surprising. I wished I might In some way be of service to her, in acknowledgment of the great help site had given me, but 1 wared this exemphry desire could never be J(Wb1s.

"Only think of our having had such an exciting adYen t tire together without ever discovering that we ought to be friends." You ro Miss Gould, I suppose?" Yes.

I loved her from the moment when she put both her hands in mine and welcomed me as the friend and companion of her lost brother, and before many weeks had puased by I won from her the assurance that my love was returned. Aa for the estimable wearer of the black stockings, she has made me her slave for life.and I can never discharge tho debt of obligation I owe her for he blessing she indirectly brought upon me.
