THE VANDEVEER RING.

From Harper's Weekly.

'Stupid old heir«looins!' said Rose, with a grimace. 'Why didn't my great grandfathers leave me something more to the purpose out of all their worldly goods than an old silver snuff box and'a f«iiiily ring hall a mile too large lor me?' 'I would sooner have &o<nething of this kind than the wealth of the lndie«, 'pon my word! I'd sooner choose a wile with such a dower than from among your mubhro-.m nabobs,' taid Angus Derrick, holding K.ose's family ring in his white pal.ft, «ind looking at it admiringly, as 'well as at its owner. '\Vould you?' returned Rose. Now bow much do you suppose it worth?' 'It is priceless—as an heir-loom.' 'Doubtless, to those who care for heirloom* out how much in a. mercenary point of view?' y?®f,| 'You don't look at it from that" point, surely?' •Yes,' replied Rose, doubtfully. 'I don't mind telling you' (she did inind it very much, but meant to tell it all the same), 'but I want some money dreadfully, tor an object'—of cnarity she was about to say—'for a good object. I must have it, and I've made up my mind to pawn my ring. But I don't want to be cheated, you know, in case 1 should never be able to redeem it, and I thought you would know about sucli things.' i) vey sorry, Miss Rose,' said hen companion. 'I—1 wish you would exchange it with me—or a solitaire now.'

That wouldn't bfi fair,' answered the absorbed girl ,and betides, I want the money, not a solitaire.' 'Yes? And then I—you should have no further lack ot love or money.' 'Oh, should I not? That would be l»l^a6ant indeed, but hardly fair to give so utile and accept EO much.'

But I do not haggle over the terms.' 'It wouldn't be honesty, you know. I thank you, Mr. Derrick! you are very kind. But no, I ceuld not

A brief silence followed, while the young man tried to swallow the bitter draught without distorting his handsome features. •Since we can not arrive at a pleasant understanding on the subject, let us post pone it for to-day,' he said. 'You were speaking about a pawnbroker 'Yes I thought you would know the value of such articles.' 'Allow me to negotiate the affair for you. It is an awkward thing for a lady— tor you—to be obliged to traffic with these men. I wish to Heaven you would let me help you in my own way. However, I shall be proud to be of service in your way.' 'How kind you are! I nhall be so grateful to you! You can't think how much 1 want this mone\. They would take advantage of a woman I suppose, Byt I hate to trouble you.' 'It is a happiness, Miss Rose and he placed the curious old ring in its case, ana iae casf* in iu» pucnet. And ax lie walk ed uvva) in nia bmicly maum, Ins head elevateu, and an affable sniiie about his lips, no one would have dreamed that he was a discarded suitor. 'What in the deuce can she want of the money? Must be a pretty tmuug induce ment to make her pan, with a.i heir-loom! he said to himself, and laughed at his own poor wiuictsm. 'Old Vanctevoer wouid put her into a straight jacket in no time it he knew but as to giving her the money himselt, he would be hanged first oti the genealogical tree. However, it I havethe clew, I shall prove a fool for my pains.'

An hour later, Miss Vandeveer was out walking in the wind on the causeway, and counting the sails of the mackerel fleet putting out to sea, in company with Austin Gregory, a penniless young fellow, who, by some ill luck, had lost his inheritance just a* he emerged lrom college, and who was just no *, with expensive tastes and extravagant ideas, keeping his head above water by means of tutoring Presently Othello's occupation would be gone, and Mr. Austin Gregorj would be hard up, in the hardest sensu of the phrase "I've half a mind to ship before the mast or join i* mackerel fleet myself," he was saying. "If I should come home some day with my weight in doubloons, what a clever tellow, what a PARTI, 1 shoiild prove, seen through your worthyuncle's gold-bowed glasses!" •'I'm afraid he does not think too much of money," said Rose, ruefully. "He doesn't think much of me, that]s certain wnatever the leeiings of his, ami able niece may be. A cnange has come .i'er the spirit oi his dream since that •iv. ^.ward affair of mine which obliges me to earn my bread by the sweat of my brow." "You nave not given up the idea ot 6heep-raising?" asked kose, indifferently 'I shouldn't give it up if I had the money to engage in it. You can'i go into that sort of thing empty handed. As I tuld you, Morgan wrote me, if I could ruise" twenty-five hundred dollars, I id join their enterprise, and in time— Heaven knows what migl»* happen only t*s no use to speculate about it. 1 might LS vvcil try the—the—Do you know, Derrick offered to lend me the cash 'That was ger.eryus cf him, I'm sure," said Rose.

Was it I don't know, I hate suspicion Rose, at well as ingiatitude, but, do you know he was so awtully off hand about it that I fancied he wished to get me out of way. If it was iu mediwval days, 1 should be offered the hospitality of his castle instead, and allowed to stumble into an oubliette. Eh, Rose!' 'Oh. fie! why should he want you away sir?'

You oaght to know—but perhaps I flatter myself. Let me sec three weeks more of this beggarly tutoring, and then chaos!' 'How melancholy you are! ihall we turn homeward?' 'If you say so. I should like to stay here in the sunset forever.' •But the sun won't be foiever setting. 'When shall we two meet again?' 'It may be tor years and it may be never,' sang Rose, lightly. •By-the-way. I saw Derrick leaving your door to-dav. What had he been saying to you Rose?' 'There was never a rose without a thorn.' "He had such art &r of being master of the situation that—What had you been

'What shall I call it? Red as a Ro*fc in she? Well, adieu. II anything turns up to my advantage will you be giad to know it?'

'You know I shall.' 'Even if it takes me out of Derrick's way? 'how can you imagine that you are in hitt way, foolish teilow?' 'Well, then, perhaps he is in my way.' 'And supposing he were? It seems to me jkou make an unnecessaiy bugbear of Mr. Derrick. I should think he was an ogre at least do let u$ drop him

With ail lpy heart—if you'll set the ex ample The next time that Rose and Derrick met was in the grand ri^ht and left ot the Lancers quadrille. 'I've arranged that little affair,' he feaid holding her hand an instant too long, "The ring is—' 'Thanks.' taid Ruse, hastily, as he re leased her to Austin Gregory, jp, 'Confound his impudenceI'^^Whst right has he to have confidences with you?' grumbled Austin, beneath his breath.

Rose laughed gayly. 'Hush! aren't you growing sour? Can't Mr. Derrick say a pleasant word to me without—' •My interiere ce?'flashed Austin.

Later, as he approached with the ice sin- had commissioned him to bring her, he saw Derrick bending over her and speaking in a somewhat eager aside, while Rose listened with attentive upturned tace, and a world of interest in her trader eye* then, be ore he could reach them, she had moved slowly away on Derrick's arm, he still bending toward her, she still absorbed. Had shetorgotten Austin and his errand in this new in terest?

He bestowed the ice on a neglected wall flower, who wamied into speech under the attention. 'Mr. Derrick is very sweet on Mist. Vandeveer is he not? I fancy it will be a match shortly,' she vouchsafed. 'Really, you know, I couldn't help overhearing something about a ring while they talked together. I coughed and tried to show them that they had a listener, but they heard nobody but each other. Ouite embarrassing, I assure you.' 'About a ring?' repeated Austin, carelessly, with his heart in his mouth. 'Yes, truly, something about a rihg, something he would carry to her to-mor-»ow. I couldn't catch the exact words— not that I tried, you know—^-something about exchanging rings, I gathered. Isn't that the way they do in engagements?' 'You ought to know,' returned Austin gallantly. 'Oh Lrfr, now you don't believe I was ever engaged, Mr. Gregory? I do hope you don't consider me a flirt.' "bhall ^we» ^l take |U advantage of thi* 'waltz of Von Weber's?* he a-ked, tie wanted to lose hirnscii tor awai'e in die frantic muel strom but when he had seated the exhausted wall-flower and rushed away to find Rose, he had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Derrick assist her into the carriage, which ifncle Vandeveer had sent at an earlv hour, and follow himselt.

Ceuld it be possible that Rose was playing talse? he asked himself. Should he go to her to morrow and intercept Derrick, find demand an ^explanation, and ask her to marry him? But how could one prove false who had made no professions? and what right had he to demand an explanation? and how could he ask her te marry a pauper? The poor fellow was aghast at his perils and per plexities. It Rose failed him, then let the solid earth fall beneath his feet. He would go away on a whaling voyage, to the devil ^perchance. Yet what right "th nothing but a heart to offer, not commanding a premium, e6e hall' do2«n years—what right had he to stand between her and independence? Should he not prefer her happiness lo his own? Yel he could iwt easily persuade himself that she would find it apart from him. Unhappy and restricted as she was in the state of depend er.ee into which it had pleased Providence to call her, was it not natural that she should accept the succor at hand? While brooding, in the very Slough of Despond, over these thoughts next day an expressman put into his hands a small package. He tore off the wrappings impatiently, and ^iscloseo a roll of bank bills. Austin stared wildly from the money to the expressman, as if one or the other should offer an explanation. 'All right, ain't it?' said the other. 'Twenty five hundred dollars? Don't fall short, eh?' •Fail ssl ort! I'm afraid—I'm sorry to say—this is a mistake,' said Austin. "'Ain't you Mr Austin Gregory? Ain't you a tutor? Don you live at No. io Avery place?' asked the man, with an imied contempt of one who wouid hesitate about receiving money. 'Ves, but—' 'Tnen it's all right—express paid. Good-day, Sir.' 'Yes, but—' pursued Austin. 'Perhaps you could tetl me from whom you received this package?' *1 reckon they wanted to keep dark. A woman she brougat it to the office— stranger to me but she took a receipt in the name of John—no, James Morgan.' 'Old Morgan!'cried Austin. 'What a trump he is! Thank you, thank you. Good morning.'

Was not everything righted by this stroke of luck? Had not VIorgan loaned it out of pure friendship? Now he would join the sheep*iaisiug enterprise in Virginia he would ask Rose to promise to wait for him whilt, he made a fortune. Now there was no reason why he should hesitate to tell Iter all his doubts and hopes. Now even old Vandeveer cou'd not separate them, could not gainsay him. Going at rapid pace to the music of his though %s, with

his

eyes on the future,

Austin quite naturally walked into a gen-, tleman coming from the opposite direction. 'Pardon,'he

6aid,

hardly looking

up, in his pre-occupation—'a thousand pardons.' And then the flash of a curious ring detained his glance—-a quaint old intaglio set in diamonds, shining on the hand of Augus Derrick,. the stone turned inward the white palm, but revealed when he lifted his hat. 'Where in the deuce are you going at this break-neck-pactf^' asked Derrick. •Where in the deuce did you get that ring?' answered Gregory. '•Oh, this ring?"—with affected hesitation—"oh, it is an heir-loom. 'It is not yours.' 'Posession is nine-tenths of tne law, and exchange is no robbery. See, it's a rare bit of workmanship, a relic of the days when a lifetime was spent upon the executio of such trifles. But, naturaHy

1 value it more for the ver« fake than lor its intrinsic worth.' '•,£ The'twenty-five hundred dollars in Austins pocket had suddenly become as so much waste paper. He was no longer i:. a hurry he walked like an oid man. with bent shouideis, and an air as if he had given up batting fi any thing. Why should he hasten to tell Rose of his good fortune since she bad given Derrick that precious heir-loom, the Vandeveer ring, which no woman would give to any but an accepted lover?

With the money which he had lenged for in his hands, it seemed to him as if he were beggared as never before. He went to his lodgings packed his wardrobe, and took the evening train on tiis journey to Virginia. Then he remembered that he had promised to tell Rose if anything turned up to his advantage, and he dropped her a few words. 'Dear Miss Vandeveer,'—he wrote— though absorbed in your own happiness, you tnay be interested to know that, through the timely interposition of a friend, I have obtained sufficient capital to engage in rheep-raising, and I am even now on my way to Virginia and El Dorado. This may be superfluous on my part, at you may have forgotten that I wished to join such an enterprise, or that I required the shekels. Though our friendship has come to an untimely end. I wish you every blessing, while I need not beg you to forget

AUSTIN G«JKGORY.'

'What a wretched l.ttle flirt!' he tho't. It she did not care for me, she was a consumate actress and if she did—the worse for her. I will show her taat I am not heart broken, at least. There are as good fish in the sea as ever yet were caught, though I'll never trust one of them again.'

But, tor all his bravado, he was as nearly heart broken as it is possible lor one ot the sterner sex to be.

Mr. Derrick had merely said to Rose during that conversation which the wallflower magnified and misinterpreted, 'I lind that your ring is much more valuable than I supposed—an intaglio, executed in the very best manner and the diamonds—the solitaire I proposed would indeed be a most unfair exchange, but for thu motive that prompted it.' 'Yes,' answered Rose, ignoring the motive, 'I supposed it would bring some hundreds.' And then he had gone on to teli her what sum he had been able to raise on it at the pawnbroker's' and Rose listened with bated breath, the color rising and receding upon her cheek. A looker-on might easily have mistaken the interest. He brought the amount to her on the following day. 'I knew the ring was valuable, but I never dreamed ot such a harvest.' Why, 1 should be able io supply all the American squaws with a blanket and—' 'I must confess I am curious to know what you are going to do with it,' laughed Dcrrick. 'Some missionary folly, I suppose, inspired by Mrs. Jelly by 1 ou musu task tne,' sue returned '1 can only lei. you thai it is not a tolly.'

And a.l tne while Mr. Dernck knew jjoiccuy wiii whaline »vouiO do wun it, and hrfd taken tne tnaUcr in liand on the strength ot tnat knowledge, in the mean time Rose hud never heard of a pawnbroker's ticket, and tit did not offer her one, tor very good reasons—the ring had never been at the pawnbroker's at all it was even then reposing in Mr. Derrick's pocket he had simply taken it to the jeweller's and priced it. 'All's fair in love and war,' he said to himselt.

.FIRST DOSE aer

Austin Gregory's letter was an immense surprise to Rose. What had she aoi.e to merit such coldness and cruelty? 'Her happiness!'—had he not taken it away witn him? Why should he doubt her interest in his prospects, she who had them always in mind? What a mockeryit was to wish her every blessing, and yet to say that their triendship had come to an untimely end! 'All's fair in love and war,' Mr. Derrick repeated, as he put on the Vandeveer ring with the express purpose of b:inging it to the notice of Austin Gregory, and proceeded to go out ot his way to meet him. Being familiar with Austin's impulsive nature, he felt no doubt but that young man would act with the desperation be$10!

coming to a deceived lover and even if he hastened to Rose and demanded an explanation, she would be the last person atfc: to offer one und, mrthennere, Mr. Derrick had ascertained that the had gone to the city, in order to lorwaid the money by express without betraying herself, thereby avoiding the chance ot a refusal, and sparing her lover's pride, and had not returned and even should Austin await her return, it woulc not be clear to her mind that Derrick had been seen in posession of the ring aiter it was suposed to be at the pawnbrokers. But alter this encounter with Austin on that eventful day, Mr. Derrick had goue to hi» office, and had there found a telegram urging his immediate p.eaence at the death bed of a distant relative, to draw up a will at the last moment—a journey involving lorty miles of railroad travel and ten of hard riding, but perhaps a legacy as well. The summons was so impel ative, the train so iivaru uuc, that he had no time to think of any thing but answering the one and catching the other. Arrived at Fearviile Station, he procured a suda It-horse and started for Amity place but he never reached it. Old Mr. Lucre died inestate and a farmer going into Fearviile next morning, with the news and a load of hay, found a strange man lying across the dusty highway, whose only bruise, besides a broken arm, was a small gash on the temple, caused by the sharp iracture ot a curious stone in intaglio, which he wore ou his finger. It was not difficult to identity the dead stranger with the*lawyer who had been .expected at Amity place. It seemed to Rose, already benumbed by Austin's unkindness, as if the world had swung out of its orbit and was chopping into ruin. Derrick's sudden death was no less unreal to jier than Austin's desertion.

Cut his temple on a sharp stone, they, say,' echoed Mr. Vandeveer 'that leu the life out in a jiffy! Poor Derrick! Well, Miss Rose, what are you pulling long face about? You might have said, •It's an ill-wind that blows nobody good!' You might have been a pretty widow to? day, up to your chm in bank-notes, but for vour beggarly nonsense

But RoseV share in the disaster was not to end here Mr. Vandeveer called her into the library one morning, after having bee a closeted with Derrick's executof for some time. *,
