On the other hand, Gest:lane' is credited with 580,000 men on a peace footing, Austria with 380,- 000, and Italy with 300,000, making an Fdvregate of 1,260,000.

Do not ruse any objection; I can walk baok perfectly well alone,' 'You are a true friend in need, Miss Stuart,' said, he with emotion. 'What We 0.0111d, have done without you at this time, Heaven knows, for I am quite un- nerved. I am sorry uncle is not here; I should like to have said. good-bye to hira.' We loft the house, Mr. Vaxtburgh car- rying the bag concealed under the long cloak. None of the servants by good luck were about. Mrs. Farquharson did not come to the door elm wished it to a; par as th :ugh we h 'd goae mra- ly for asixoll. On my return she would tel Mrs. Glass the housekeeper that Miss Selwyn had. gone. • THE EXETER S NIECE, P Meat:elms,1 tetl heard the parti- culars of the alleged, forgery from Mrs. Farquharson. 'One night ebout a =Deb ago,' she said, 'old Mr, 13als- ooxabe wed Jack were detained in the office on business later than time', the others having left before tbonis After Mr, lealeconabe left, Jaok eoticed his cheque-book Mug anioriss some papers. on his desk. 1e was usually very care- ful to keep it leader lock Ana key,. J'aelc picked, it up awl put it in the meide Pocket of bets coat, intending to look it up in the ,safe in the other room ; but having some ether tlaings to do first, forgot all about it. Dering that evening he and. Mr. Balscombe's nephew wets out playine at billiards together, and Jack got himself rather tee worse or liquor. Young Balscombe had to take him Imme and see him to bed. In the morning, jack sudcleely reraembered the cheque-book, and on examining his pocket, touslel it all riglat where he had placed, it the night be- fore. When lie got to the office, he handed it to 1Y1r. Balscombe, explain- ing how it came to be in bis possession. Some days aeterwards, Mx. Balscoinbe diseovered, on looking over his bank- book, teat a sum of fifty pounds, for whit:1h he did not remember writing a cheque, had been withdrawn fropx his account,. He called at once at the bank, and was hoven a cheeses; for that amount purporting to be signed by. We took down the garden, path and along near to the river -side until we reached the bend of the river, which brought us outside the Manor grounds into Squire Boldea's, between which and 3ths. Faxquharson's there was a high hedge, the counterpart of that which bounded the Manor lands on harmer Shieles side. By taking this road we kept completely out of the de- tective's view, should he be on the out- look with his glass. A small footpath led us out on to the main road. lead- ing to Harley. Our walk was it very silent one, for we scarce exchanged half -a -dozen words. When we reached the station, we had not long to wait. I secured Mr. Van - bargee's ticket for him. '1 caunot thaule you,' he said, lnaleia agitated, as he was about to step into the train: 'I will try and drop a line. • Perhaps we shall yet see epee other again. My aunt will tell you the whole story. Believe me, Vies Stuart, I am innocent of this charge.' 'I never doubted it. We shall long to hear from youllow you get on. Might I ask you a favour, IM. .r Vanburgh? It is that you promise inc to give up gam- bling and betting from this time.' himself, but NVII1Oh he at once detected to be a forgery, On examining his cheque-book, one cheque was found to be torn away, counterfoil and ell, He then remembered the occasion on whieh jack had charge of the cheque-book as being the only time it MS out of his Possession. The cheque had. been filled up in it strange name, but had been e,ndorsed all right, and the money paid—so far as the teller of the bank cop.lcl. recoflect—to a young lacl about eighteen or so, the morning Jack re- turned the book to Mr. Balscombe. Jack was then questioned on the sub- ject, but indignantly repudiated all knowledge of the forgery or of the cheque. He had forgotten all about the book, he said, till next morning, and consequently no one knew from him of his having it in his possession. He hact riot stolen it himself, and therefore the cheque must have been abstracted earli- er, Mr. Balscombe was furious. Al- though the amount was trifling, the crime was none the less.—You know the rest, Naomi. If the ,cheque was really taken out of the book that evening, it must have been done unknown to hun for J'ack swears he is innocent, and. can belie-ve him.' And I also,' I said. 'But who could have done it?' cannot tell,' said Mrs. Farquharson sadly. 'Mr. Balseembe is positive the che tee was not takenbefore that day, and the very next morning it was cashed.—When Tack came here that aftern.00n,' she continued, 'I did not know him at first in ids disguise. He told me then that Mr. Bates the cashier had. warned 'him to flee at once, for Mr. Balscorabe had ordered his arrest. The disguise he wore he had lately used in some private theatricals, and adopt- ed it for safety. He was anxious to'get out of the country, and until he could do so, we agreed that he should pass himself off as my niece, Doris Selwyn, for I had no acquaintances with whom I was on sufficiently- intimate terms to have their daughters visiting nie, as I mix so little in society.—You have never heard. me mention Doris, Naomi; the subject is too painful. Three years ago she was to ha.-ve been married and on the very morning of the marriage day, her lover was killed in one of those dreadful railway accidents. The shock turiaed her brain and nearly kill- ed her, and. she has been out of her mind ever since. The doctors, however, still hold out hope of her ultimate re- covery.' 'Poor girl I Her lot has been a very sad one, I said. I pity her from my heart.' ,Tack has no hppe of proving his in- nocence,' added Mrs. Farquharson after a few minutes. `Mr. Bates has been writing here since he came here as to how matters stood, and he. says his master is as wild at Jack as ever. It is curious, too, and he such a favorite with him till recently.' I then related the incidents of the razor and the cigar -smoking which I had noticed. Ms. Farquharson could not help srailieg, especially at the men- tion of the razor. 'I remember seeing the door ajar that morning,' she said, 'for I heard you come in, and was just ready to leave my room at the time. The Professor, who of course was in the secret, had been in Jack's room hunting for one of his books, which Jack had mislaid, and neglected to close the door after hirn. The draught from his own door when he closed it must have blown Jack's door further open. Jack is so careless, he had not observed it.' More than a year slipped past. I was still with Mrs. Farquharson. Mr. Van - burg, we had long ago heard, had land- ed at Sydney all right; and on the re- commendation of Captain - Gray, to whoin he had cOnfided the position in which he was placed, succeeded in ob- taining a situation in a large mercan- tile firm, where he was doing well, He wrote home regularly to his uncle and aunt. I also had recently received. a letter from him, the contents of which I need not divulge; suffice it to say that I wrote back in answer to his re- quest, promising to go out to Sydney to him as soon as he could make a home for me; but this promise I was never called upon to fulfil., for shortly there- after Jack himself was urgently sent for to come home by Mr. Balscombe, with an offer of partnership. The mys- tery of the forged cheque had at lett been cleared up. As the reader may have guessed, the culprit was no other than Henry Balscobabe, Mr. Balsconibe's nephew. On his recovery from a vio- lent attack of fever, with which he was seized about a year and a half after Jack's hurried departure, and during which attack his life was despaired of, he confessed all.. He had been jealous of Jack's favouritiem with his uncle, That night he took him home, in help- ing him off with his coat- the cheque- book lad fallen from his pocket to the floor. Henry Balscombe picked it up, recognized it as his uncle's, and a de- mon must have prompted hire. He tore oat one of the cheques and put back the book, filled the cheque up next morning, imitating his uncle's hand- writing adnairably, and finally sent his landlady's young son to the bank for the money, bidding him say, if any ques- tions were asked, that he came from Mr. Tayldr, the name in whieh the chentte had. been filed up. His plot was only too successful. Ile saw his rival de- throned; but he himself was fax. from happy, and. Oyer and over again had been Ott the peitit of confessing every- thing. Suspicion had. never in the slight.eat degree attached ,to him, al- though it VettS knoWn he had been with jack that night, It wad simposed he estild have had no object in purloining the cheque, even though he had known the cheered -book to have been in jack's; neseession, as he had plenty of Money of hie Own, While Jack was well known 1-0 be rather hard up. He suddenly stooped, and imprinted a t kiss on my forehead. 'Forgive rae. I* do promise. For your sake, I would p onuse anything? Next minute, 1 was standing alone with crimson cheeks waving my- hand- kerchief as the train glided off. My thoughts were full of that kiss all the way back. Mrs. Glass coming into the room on my return, was then told of Miss Selweeies departure. She seemed. very much sur- prised, but made no remark.. That young lady's eratic movements were evi- dently too much for her. She was sim- ply told. Miss Selwyn had received word which necessitated, her leaving at once. It was not without sorae trepidation that I descended next Morning to the breakfast -room. Mrs. Farquharson was already seated there, calm and compos- ed as usual. I could not help admir- ing her fortitude. In the midst of the meal came a ring at the door bell. Mrs. Glass, being at that moment in the act of crossing the hall, herself opened the door. 'We wish to seta Miss Selwyn,' salt a ' voice, which I recognized as that of theman .Tacobs. 'Miss Selwyn is not here,' replied Mrs. Glees. `She left last night before seven o'clock. She was telegraphed for to go home.' This statement she made entire- ly on her own authority, as tothing whatever had been said to her either re- garding the eriode in which Miss Selwyn had been summoned away to her desti- nation. She had apparently- arrived at this conclusion of her own accord. 'Stuff and gammon e cried the man coarsely. 'Where could she go You don't catch a weasel asleep. Try that on with some other, my good woman. More likely see saw us from the window and is hiding. Tell your mistress we wish to see her at once.' Without waiting to be invited, they followed Mrs. Glass into the breakfast - room. There were three of them the third, I presume being the man whom .7acobs had called Bob. 'The foremost, Jacobs, held what I supposed was the warrant in his hand. Mr. Farquharson's presence of mind was admirable. 'May I ask the mean- ing of this intrusion, gentlemen?' she asked calmly.'Mrs, Glass, show these ,gentiemen into the front drawing -room for a few minutes. Miss Stuart and I are engaged at breakfast just now.' They were manifestly taken aback at her coolness. 'I beg your pardon, mad- ame and yours too, •miss,' said Jacobs; 'but our baseness will not wait. I have here a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Jack Vanburgh on a charge of forgery, who has been steying here el a'. three week 3. un esr the n mi Og Miss Doris Selwyn.' Mrs. Glass gave a scream, and seemed about to drop. 1VIrs. Farquharson still preserved an unruffled front. 'Mrs. Glass has already told you that Miss Selwyn is not here. I have no- thing more to add, gentlemen. It you. wish, you. can search the house and grounds. Perhaps you will kindly re- lieve us of your presence, and allow Miss Stuart and me to finish breakfast.' I never saw such an expression of baffled rage on the face of any latinlan being as that which overspread the CountenanCe of Jacobs. Perhaps the knowledge of his own dilatorirtess made him feel worse. 'It is false 1' he shciut- ed. 'He is here! r11 bet my life.—May- be you are not aware, madam, that in concealittg this youngman from pun- ishment, you run a. risk yourself,' he added ferociously, '1 am concealing no young man,' she said and if I were, am not one to be intimidated by threats.—Excuse me, gentleraen, but if you do not retire, Miss Stuart arid 1 must? Thereupon they went out, but not before casting suspicious glances round the room. They searched the house from top to bottom—of course with no result; and all day two of them hov- ered about the house and grounds, the third probably making inquiries else- where. I do net think they suspected Me in the matter. In the course of the day 1 receSved a letter, which Was, 1 understood, direct- ed to me to avoid strapidion. It contain- ed simply these words: 'tverything arranged. To-raorrow six ant' No signature was attached, and it bore the London postmark, This was sufficient, beWeYer, to satiety us that all was right, and that, Mr. Vanburgh would by this time have eelled and the note been evritten by him the night befOre. er on,1 would get full dating frorili my father, At first, on beaeitie his confession, his uncle refused to have anything fureher to ao with him.

" CHAPTER I. is the shadows began to lengthen over Belramet—foe the cathedral dames floating along the bosom, of the waters 'proclaimed the seventh hour—it long outrigged gig pair flashed round. the point into the level stretch of dead pool reaching right away to the Wye Bridge. There wa,s a pleasant smell of flowers lying upon the sweet August eir, it low- ing of cattle, e reflection. of many boats in the track as the gig, propelled by four muscular arms, slid on towards the town.. There were only two men in the narrow craft; and as they were double sculling, -with long clean sweep, making a musical click of oars in the rowlocks, there was not much opPor- tunity for conversation. The 'stroke,' a young fellow with clear gray eyes and. pleasant face, was clad in a suit of plain white flannels; and perched» apon the back of his head was a light -blue cap —the badge of distinction sacred to those only who have fought fox. the honor of the 'Varsity against their rivals from the twin seat of learning, Oxford. Egbert—or as his familiars called him--Bertie Trevor, the stroke in question, had. rowed 'four' in that year's Cambridge boat, and .now, with hi,s friend Frederick Denton, was mak- ing a Wye boating 'kit= from Hay .to Chepstow. Denton, a somewhat older man, sported. the light -blue and, black of Caius College. He was not a blue, for tveo reasons: first, because the se- vere training was not to his taste • and. secondly, a restless ambition and. the result dependent upon a successful uni- versity career had left him no time for such a serious and practical busi- ness. A hard-working college tutor has no time 'for the toil of pleasure. They pulled on with regular set-eels- ing rhythm till they were almost with- in the bridge -shadows. An arrowy• craft bearing a town four rushed by with clean sweep and swirl up -stream, a little knot of admirers running along the bank in the wake of a flannel-elad youth who eves bent upon exercising an extraordinary ingenuity for giving each of the unhappy crew the most appar- ently contradictory directions. As they sped swiftly. by, Denton paused» m his stroke and looked over his shoulder at .the thin line, like ay. -gigantic spider, fading in the golden track. 'That is what some people call plea - jure,' he observed—sacrificing a per- fect summer evening for the satisfac- tion of sitting in a confined space for two hour s to be bulliea by an implac- able miscreant called a coach. Depend upon it, if it was Galled work, they wouldn't get a man to turn out.' 'I like their stroke,' Trevor replied. Well marked and lively, and the last ounce pulled out.— What a grand stretch of water this is, Denton I—two miles without a curve, and room for at least five eights. If We only had, such a river at Cambridge!' A few more strokes an.d the landing - stage was reached. A bronzed. water - man, with visage tanned to the color of Spanish mahogany, awaited. them OD., the barge: old 'Dick' Jordan, with his solitary keen eye and everlasting pipe., best of men and. bravest of waterraen, as every rowing man on the Wye ,can tell. He looked en) into the fading blue sky and prophesied, after the manner of his kind, a fair day on the morrow. 'What time be you gentlemen 'going to stare in the morning?' he asked addressing Trevor, .whose light -blue cap he had. immediately. spotted. Trevor turned to his trien.ce and askei what hour it wad' to be. 'It depends altogether upon Pbil, you know. He may get here to -night, or not till to -morrow afternoon.—We must leave it open, Dick. Only, you had 'better have everything ready by ten o'clock.' The two friends strolled together over the old stone bridge, below wlaiely lay the cathedral and bishop's palace, with the trim cloister gardens sloping down to the water -side. The clean city lay very quiet in the evening. As they passed through the olose, under an avenue of ancient elms, there was a clamour of rooks in the feathery branches, cut clear against the sky. Turning into Castle Street, Dentin:ice:me to a house at length, the door of which he opened with a latchkey; for the twain had deemed it best to take a lodpring, instead, of availing themselves of the acconamodation of the Green Dra- gon. In the hell were two small port- manteaus, bearing the raohogxam 'P.D. in neat black letters. Denton's face lighted with pleasure. In the joint,sit- ting-room upstairs there were the re- mains of a meal, as it someone had re- cently partaken of refreshment; and on the table a eard, upon which were writ, - ten the words, 'Back in half an hour.' But the appointecl time went on, and the expected guest had not reappeared. Tea had been ,disposed of; the windows were thrown open, and our friends sat over their pipes, looking out upon the Castle Green, Where the World. of Here- ford was taking its pleasuxe in the cool summer evening. I wonder what has become of Deck ?' Trevor observed. It's nearly nine teelocke I hope he isn't going. to make an ass of himself as he did in the Baster " Vac," ' Denton said practically. "You never Saw Math a wet blanket; and a fellow who had just demo into•e clear three thousand a year, too I Andievelve months ago there 'wasn't a cheerier:, happier man in the 'Varsity.' Trevor pulled at his pipe a few mo. merits in refleetive silence. '1 noticed the ohange when. we were at Cookham together at the tomnaeocement of Ude "long," Cblcien hue it houseboat there with a let of people in the party; and when Dixon. and I agreed to join, Phil cut it, After agreeing to join, tool Mies Rashleigh was one of these.; end, between ourselves, Decica would, have juniped at the chesace of naeeting het once.' lelies Reehleigh was there ' Den- ton replied refleetively.

Everything seemed to go amoothlY enough, till that unpleasant affair over tbe diamond bracelet,' '1 never heard of it,' esed Trevor. 'Where was that ? ' 'Well; perhaps 1 ought not to men- tion it ; but I was under the impression you knew. It was daring the MAY races last year—you didn't keep that term I readied now, And, they were all tip there—Colonel Scobell and his family, with Miss Raslaleigh, who is his niece, you know.—I was all the more pat out because the affeir happened, m my rooms. The Soobells had been very kind to Decie the "long" before, and nothing woald 'do but he must give them a lunch; and my rooms, being some of the best in the college, were borrowed for the purpose. Miss Hash- leigh's diamond bracelet, the last thing her mother gave her before she died, was lost.' Seems strangs to lose a thing like that ea a man's roams.' 'Precisely—that is the most unpleas- ant part of it, n was only laid down for a ratement in au inner apartment; and when Miss Itashleigh went in, it was gone. No servant had been there —no one but Decie and Gerard Rash- leigh, her brother, you knows—Anyway, it was never found.' What do you make of it?' Trevor asked cautiougly. ''Valuable trinkets like that don't disappear without aid. Still, at the same time, it would be ab- surd. to dre,am of Phil having a hand inietn Dton watched the smoke curling round his head for a few minutes. His next words startled Bertie out of his philosophical calm: We shouldn't; but there is no doubt Mies Rashleigh did— and doe,se 'My dear Fred, you rave!

Besides, with all his money '-- ` Now, see how rash youth rushes to conclusions.—How long is it since Phil- ip's uncle died and left him a fortune? —Five months.
