"Don't omit the slightest detail," he said, "Itfs most important you should put me in full possession of the facts." "The Viscount appeared awfully annoyed," continued NoeP 'I'm sorry you're fjoing to be long,' he objected. 'The fact is, my time is not my own. I'm engaged to be married to a young lady. Made moiselle d'Arlange, a fact which I believe has already been announced, and am expected to lunch in half an hour from this, Can't you postpone our interview?'" "Hilloh!" said Old Corkscrew to himself "here's another woman cropping up! I wonder if she's had anything to do with the mystery?" "I answered that the explanation I had to make would admit of*no delay and as I saw by the expression of his face that he was about, to dismiss me, I brought out my packet of letters, and, drawing one out of the pack, presented it to him. He recognized the handwriting of his father at once, declared himself at my service, asking rne politely to allow him to write a lew lines of excuse to the lady who expected him to luncheon. "He wrote a few lines in haste, gave them to l)i:s valet, with orders to deliver them immediately to the Duchess d'Arlange, and then, rising, asked me to follow him into the library." "Ae word," interrupted Old Corkscrew. "Did he seem much upset on seeing the letters?" "Not the least in the world! He was as cool as a cucumber. After carefully shutting the door, iio, pointed to an arm-chair, begging me to be seated,whilst he threw himself on apofa with the most perfect ease in the world. 'And now, ^ir,' he began, 'will you have the goodness to explain yourself?' "I had prepared, and, so to speak, primed myself, for the interview, and had decided not to beat about the bush, but to strike a decisive blo^ at once. 'Sir,' I said, 'iny mission is a most painful one. In fact, of such a nature that I hardly know how or where to begin.' 'Indeed!' he said, half laughing and raising his eyebrows 'it takes a great deal to surprise or alarm me I've capital nerves, and don't know what palpitation of the heart means.' 'I'm glad to hear it,' I answered, very gravely. 'I won't detain you long I simply wish you to read these letters.' And, as I spoke, I rose and advanced towards him. 'Sir,' I went on, 'I am a ba-^ster, and have the intricacies of the la-', at my lingers' ends.' "'1 beg you will proceed,'he said, the smile dying out of his face 'I'm all impatience to hear the news you have to tell me.' "'Sir,'I continued, 'these letters will prove to you that you are not the real heir to the Valcourt estates, and are the illegitimate son of the Count Lionel de Vaieourt. The rightful heir exists, and it is he who now asserts his claim!' "He boiin ded to his feet like a tiger, and, for a moment, I thought he was al: nt to spring at, my throat, but he recovered himself instantly, and in a voice that was almost a whisper, asked for the letters. "Without a moment's hesitation I handed them to him. "What!" half screamed Old Corkscrew "you don't mean to say you had the folly, the imprudence, to hand him the real ones —•the orhjhtals I mean?" "Never fear," said the barrister, in a low voice, and compressing his lips as he spoke,"[ was there, and had prepared myself for any emergency."

There w:!s such an expression of concentrated firmness and ferocity in Noel's face, that Daddy Tabaret recoiled instinctively. "lie would have strangled him," ho thought, "had he attempted any treachery!"

The barrister went on with his recital. "What I did for you old friend, I did for the Viscount Albert de Valconrt—spared him the tedium of reading through a hundred and fifty-six letters. I told him to peruse only those that were marked with a cross in red ink." "And you did quite right, my boy. You had placed him on the rack, but kiudly shortened the torture." "He was now seated," continued Noel, "before a small papier mache table, so extremely delicate in its make, that if he had leaned upon it, they would have gone over together, and spoiled the dignity of our interview. As for me, I remained standing, with one arm on the chimneypiece. I followed his slightest movement, and watched his face wit a hungry eyes. Never in my life, or in my varied experience, have I seen a face so alter. I shall never forget it, were I to live a hundred years! "lie took his handkerchief from his pocket, and from time to time passed it across his face and mouth. "He turned so pale that, at- one moment, I thought he would have fainted and his eyes were covered with a sort of film that almost made him look blind. "A nirt from this, not an exclamation, not a word, not a sigh. "Once he made my heart heave with pity. I long to advance, and snatch the fatal letters from his hands to throw them into the fire, and clasping him in my arms, to cry out, 'Brother, brother! let us forget the past—let us know and love each other!'"

CHAPTER XV.

OLD CORKSCREW LENDS A THOUSAND POtJXDS.

Old Corkscrew's queer old face lighted up with pleasure at, the words pronounced by the young barrister in our last chapter. "There I recognize your heart, my boy —your generous, noble heart!" "But I didn't, express those words audibly, you know," went on Noel, because I thought that the letters once burned, ten to one he'd have had me turned out as an impostor." "Of course—of course."

At the end of about half an hour the Viscount handed me back the papers, and standing up so as to face me, leaned against the chimney-piece. "•You are-right, sir,' he said 'and if those letters were written by my father, everything tends to prove that I am not the son of the Countess de Valcourt Have you any other proofs 1' "«Germain, the valet, can certify.' "'Germain died some years ago.' "Then I spoke to him of the nurse— the "Widow Lerouge—and explained to him how easv it would be to tind her, as 6he lived at the village of La Jonchere."

Tabaret, in an eager tone. "He w:i.- silent at. first, seeming to reflect then suddenly raised his hand to his forehead. "'Ah, I remember now!' he cried. 'I visited her several times with my father, and on one occasion I recollect he gave her a cheque for a money.'

recoup u«

I observed that here was another proof in the claimant's favor. He made no reply. but commenced walking up and down the room. At last he stopped and faced me. "•Do you happen to know the person

who claims to be the legitimate eon of Count Lionel de Valcourt I answered,' I am the man.' "He lowered his head, and turned! away.

I thought so,' he murmured then, advancing, he offered me his hand. 'I bear you no malice,' he said, huskily,' but •you have dealt me a fearful blow, and I hardly know what to say or what to think. My father will return in eight or ten days. I will ask you to accord me this delay, and immediately he arrives I will explain to him your case. I must, beg you now to leave me. I feel dazed—ill, in fact and as he spoke he sunk back, as if faint, on the sofa, motioning for me to ring the bell for his servant. "I did so, and left him, feeling' puzzled myself as to what my next move ought to be" but all my plans are scattered to the winds since the murder of my poor old nurse. Can you advise me

Not now—not now," said the old man, who was meditating a retreat, and was fearful he might be led into saying something imprudent. I'll sleep upon it, and see you again in the morning." Then lie added, affectionately, Poor boy—poor boy! what, an anxious time you must have had of it!" "Fearful! and joined to it all, worry about money matters." "Money matters! I thought you were such an economical fellow." "Before this dreadful revelation, which threatens to change my whole life, I had taken upon myself some'engagements for a friend, a dear friend. Those engagements I must meet, and, under present circumstances, I cannot- ask for assistance from the family piu'se." "You're right—quite right and I'm delighted you've mentioned it, for it just reminds me that ii's in your power to do me a favor."

Indeed!—and what's that Can you imagine, now, that I've got- in my desk, poked away among my pipers, no less a sum than a tlio asand pounds, in bank notes?"

Rather imprudent," remarked the barrister. "Of course it is that's just what I meant and what I'm about to propose is, that you can take care of them far better than I can."

Noel pressed the good old fellow's hand, and shook his head with an amused expression of face. "Thank you all the same," he objected, but I'm afraid I must refuse." "You'll do nothing of the kind," saM Daddy Tabaret, hotly "I'm accustomed to have my way, and I'll bring the money to-morrow."

But remembering he had an appointment with the magistrate, M. Daburon, and perhaps might be detainod all day, he added, immediately, "No r.otto-mor-row. I won't run any further risks you shall have it this evening. This evening, did I say?—you shall have it at once!"

And before Noel could stop him, he had seized his liat and left the room. In ten minutes he returned, with the roll of bank notes in his hand. "If you don't find them enough," he said, as he thrust them into the pocket of the young barrister's coat, there's plenty more at the same shop orders punctually attended to, and the strictest secrecy observed."

And, without waiting for a reply, he was gone. What a queer old fellow he in," thought Noel he hasn't taken an I O U, or receipt of any kind," and he ran to the door as he spoke, in order to call him back then stopped short and listened. Ile'll be coming again to-morrow," he reflected, and I'll let him have his own way now.-'

He opened his window and listened to the footsteps of the old man until they lied away in the lonely street then he wound up his oil lamp, and, after that, arranged his hair and put on an overcoat. Crossing to the door of Madame Gerdv's room, lie listened attentively for any sound that might proceed from the sickchamber.

All was silent, as if death already reigned there upon which he returned to his study, and, double-locking the door, descended the stairs on tip-toe, and, in a few moments after, was in the courtyard at, the back of the house.

Opening a small, green door, half hidden in ivy, with a key which he took from his pocket, he closed it softly behind him, and was soon lost- to sight in the darkness of the night.

CHAPTER XVI.

A. CAPRICIOUS BEADTY.

When the young barrister emerges again, it is before a handsomely-carved door in the Rue de Provence, which opens to him the moment he pulls the bell-han-dle.

The porter in the lodge salutes him deferentially, yet with an affability that is not only respectful, but cordial. onrl r»f SlIvPl'v" WelcO

This sort "of silvery" welcome will be well understood by those of our readers who have been in Paris, and know the arrangements of those huge houses, or hotels, of what was once the Queen City of the world.

Houses which can only be compared to a small London street stuck up on end, each floor being occupied by an entire family, with nothing to connect them one with the other, but a general staircase— a staircase which is generally kept in exquisite order and cleanliness by the porter at the lodge. Sometimes a nobleman or a rich banker may occupy the ground-floor or luxurious first-floor, while the topmost flight, or sky-parlor serves as a shivering refuge in winter, or an over-heated oven in summer, for milliners, flower-makers, water-carriers, and others of those who live or starve bv labor.

Dropping a silver piece into the hand of the obsequious, porter, Noel ascends the polished oak staircase, and only pauses when he reaches the third floor.

Then, taking a small latch-key from his waistcoat-pocket, he inserts it in the lock of the door to the right and enters.

But at the faint sound that the key makes in the lock, a maid-servant, coquettislily dressed in alight muslin dress, with mauve ribbons in her eaucy little cap. rushes into the hall. "Oh, it's you, sir!" she says, clapping her hands. Missus has been expecting you for ever so long."

This exclamation bursts from her in such extremely loud tones, that it must have been heard at the other end of the

uvru mo •». rooms, and might have served as a signal What did he say tothat?" asked" Daddy

young barrister seems too preoccupied to remark the ruse, if, indeed, any ruse wer meant.

because

I told nei it was against your orders. "You did qmto right," said Noel, looMnp frightened. -UhiM-e is «In thy m-.»k1av.,oom I'm getting tea ready. ill ou uike some, sir?" "Yes place an extra cup for me. How confoundedly daik is» give

light and, taking it from her hand, he traversed. successively several sumptuously furnished rooms, until he reached the one indicated by the maid-servant.

It is an apartment of an ovid shape, with a remarkably high ceiling, formed like a dome, painted in sky-blue, and dotted with stars.

An ordinary mortal would have thought himself three thousand leagues from Paris or London, and in the house of some opulent inhabitant of the Celestial Empire.

The fantastic furniture, with its extraordinary and incoherent ornaments the delicious yet brilliantly-colored tissues, that hung from the walls: the beautiful rose-colored lamps, that bloomed rather than shed a light, transported one at once to Hong Kong or Shanghai.

A divan, or sofa, very large, and very low. furnished with piles of cushions, covered with the same tissues that hung from the walls, was placed at the further end of this S!iiokin£room, upon which, smothered up in cashmere shawls, a young woman was lying,"smoking a cigarette.

She was a tiny little creature, but her throat, shouldeis, and yms were exquisitely round and faultless in shape whilst her dimpled, yet slender hands, with their rose-tinted nails, looked like costly jewels, only made to lje caressed. •She was not beautiful—hardly even what could have been called very pretty but she had one or those faces which, once seen, are never to be forgotten.

Her forehead was rather too high, and her mouth, notwithstanding its charming freshness of color, too large. Her eyebrows were perfectly arched, but they were so palpably artificial in their inky blackness, and extreme decision of line, that they gave a certain hardness to the whole face but, to compensate for this defect, her complexion was beautifully clear, and of a pale olive color, that had an inexpressibly cool and soft appearance. Her dark, velvety eyes had a magnetic power in them very rarely seen. Her teeth were very white and even and her black hair was long and fine, with blue gleams in its rich, wavy masses.

On perceiving Noel, who raised the silk curtains that hung.-before the door as he entered, she half)/raised herself, and leaned upon her elfjow. •'So, you've cor at last!" she said, speaking in a sharp voice "and it's high time, too!"

The barrister paused for a moment, almost suffocated by the tropical heat of the smoking-room. "What a stifling atmosphere!" he said. "Its like an oven!" "Do you think so?" remarked the young lady. "I'm sorry we differ in opinion. I think it awfully chilly but that's because I'm ill. I hate lying down it irritates me, and always brings on a nervous headache! Waiting for you has made it worse! I expected yon yesterday!" "It was impossible for me to come—utterly impossible."

Von knew very well, however, that two of my bills were due to-day,' and that I had several heavy payments to make."

Noel bent his head, and looked as awkward as a schoolboy whose master is rating him on Monday morning for having neglected his lessons on Sunday evening. '•Oh, come!" he expostulated "you really ought to forgive me. I'm only one day behind time." "And that's nothing, is it?" replied th9 fair occupant of the sofa. "A gentleman a—real gentleman, I mean—doesn't care a lig about his own b.lis, and all that but he cares about those of the girl he loves, and intends one day to make his wife. Recollect that I've a position to make and if I can't, pay my way, where am I?" "My dear Pussy," pleaded the barrister, "only listen "Don't call me Pussy. I don't want- any pet names now. My name is Nicholson— iS'i 1!in Nicholson and you'll oblige me by 'putting 'Miss' before it when you address me." "Well, then," said the young man, half amused, half vexed, "to- prove to you, my dear Miss Nicholson, i.iat 1 never forget you when absent, will you accept this bracelet, which you admired so much the Palais Royal last week?" "Miss Nicholson, without raising herself, extended her lovely arm and hand to receive the casket, opened it with the most indifferent air imaginable, looked at its contents, yawned and said, "Ah!" "Is it the right one?" said Noel, anxiously. "Oh, yes it is the same. Only it looked twenty times prettier in the shop-window than it does now." "I'm in ill-luck this evening," said the barrister, discouraged. "Nothing I say or do seems to please you." "And why, pray?" "In the first place, it's very plain that you don't like the bracklet." "But indeed I do it's a perfect love of a thing, and just makes up the dozen." "It was now Noel's turn to say, "Ah!"

As she made no reply, but simply gazed in a dreamy sort of way before her, as though she were looking into the dim distance, he added, "Well, I must say you've a queer sort of manner in expressing your satisfaction!" "Ah! that's just like you men!" cried the lady. "Never satisfied unless you see us all ablaze with love and gratitude! You bring me a present—pretty and simple enofifgh in its way—and you expect me to pay you back in ready money."

Oh, Pussy!" said the barrister, much' hurt.

Yes, in ready money. I don mean pounds, shillings and pence, of course not. I'm not so mean as that—but I mean in the ready money of thanks. According to your views on the subject, I ought to fill the whole house with cries of thanks and joy, whilst I clwp your knees and call you my' benefactor, my only friend!'"

Cool as he was on ordinary occasions, it was very evident that Noel was extremely irritated" now, and his irritation seemed to delight the charming Nelly beyond all expression.

Are not my simple thanks sufficientf she went on. Shall I call in Jeanette to admire this wonderful bracelet?"

Noel made no reply. He kept his eyes persistently fixed on the ground. But Nellie was determined to tease and torment him. "Oh, I forgot!" Jeannette's nobodyonly my maid! One of us, you know. Her thanks would go for nothing. Perhaps you'd prefer my sending jjown for the porter?"

The young man shrugged his shoulders, like a philosopher who thinks it bendat-h him to notice the playfulness of a kitten, or the wanton gambcls of a King Charles' spaniel in its puphood. "Why do you worry your little head, he said, appealingly, in trying to irritate me? It hasn't the slightest effect, I assure you. If you have any serious grudge against me, tell it me simply, and in as few words' as possibles and if I can remedy or remove any painful impression from your mind, I will do so at once." "Let's be serious, then," said Nellie. "I want, a plain answer fo a plain question. Why didn't you bring me the three hundred pounds for which vras so pressed

Because I had im| ortant business, and couldn't come."

"And you couldn't have sent themT" •he asked. If I did riot send or bring them, it was because I hadn't them. In fact—in fact—"

The yonng girl looked at him for a moment incredulously, then burst into a merry peal of laughter. "Why, you're trying to act the 'Romance of a Poor Young Man!'" "Act? my poor little Pussy! I'm not acting—I'm telling you the real truth! I'm ruined, Pussy! I'm. on my last legs! 1 haven't a farthing in the world I can call my own!"

The gii'l's beautiful eyes flashed lire and, springing from the sofa, she seized the young barrister's hands, and clasped them in both her own.

Oh, Noel, can I believe you?" she said. Oh, if I could but believe you were telling me the truth!"

Her lover received this sudden gleam of joy like a dagger thrust and placed his hand upon liis heart, as if in pain. "She believes in what I have said," he thought and rejoices in my ruin! She wants an excuse to break off our long engagement,and to be free to marry another!" lie was utterly mistaken.

The very idea that- a man had ruined himself solely for her, without letting a word of reproach escape him, transported this girl with a joy beyond our power to describe. She almost felt inclined to love 'dm half-broken-hearted, penniless man, whom she had despised when he was prosperous, rich and proud.

But, suddenly, she fell back on the sofa, witli another and more sudden fit of laughing. "'"What a sentimental little creature I am!" she said. "As if you men could think of anything else but yourselves! If I spent a florin more than you intended ma to spend, you'd take up your heart and your hat, and say good-bye to me lot ever!"

That's very true!" remarked the barrister, coldly. "As you never keep an account about anything, I am forced to do so and I find it useful in proving to me how my income is frittered away without the slightest profit or gratification to myself—"

The maid coining in with the tea. put a stop for the time to this tender duet between the lovers—a duet which had already been rehearsed on several occasions by poor Noel. And we seize this opportunity to introduce our readers more fully to the lady who has taken the principal part in the foregoing scene.
