' Your Serene Highness, there is no joke. Nothing is further from my mind than a joke. The Fuego del Ammo has been found.' 'Did you see it?' asked the Grand Duke. He was still incredulous. Yes; I saw it. I had it in my hand.' Where is it'?' asked the Grand Duke, all his self-control breaking down at the prospect of once more possessing his beloved ruby. • 'I returned it to the man who recov- ered it.' 'You what 2' shrieked the Grand Dak'Ree•turn.ed it to the man who recov- ered it.' ' In the name of all the madmen, an- cient and modern, what did you mean be, that?' He was livid with rage. He clutched the arms of his chair, leaned forward and glared at the Chancellor. Because,' said Brincken blandly, 'the reward had not then been paid; and I thought he had a right to hold the gem until we had discharged aux part Of the contract.' ' Brincken—' The Grand Duke paused. He was not accustomed to disguise his feelings -But now he was plamngfor a large stake— the great ruby against fifty thousand. pounds of our money. He was still of the opinion, long ago expressed, that if the stone ever was offered in exchange for a reward, the whole thing, from be- ginning to end, was the result of a con- spiracy to obtain the reward. Hence he had offered one million marks, meaning never to pay that or any other sum, but simply to lock up the man who offered to restore the jewel. Now, here had. come Ilrincken with news that the storie had been found; and long ago Brineken had told him that young pho- tographer had gone in settrob of it. Brincken had seen and handled the stone; he was on friendly terms with that youn Englishman. The deduce Mrs, Ellis's Memel, Miss al allis, was not likely to suit bit: and he had taken the obvious hint of the widow Wank- lyn, and based all his expectations of fortune and domestic happiness on Miss Louisa Stamen Under ordinary circumstances, the approaching ruin of the Cannon -street firm would have warned Mr. Stanley I3ayless off; bat Mrs. Wanklyn's prom- ise had been perfectly explicit, and ad- mitted of no doubt. She would leave half her fortune to Leo. In the face of his own exhausted treasury and Mr. Stamer's position, he did not veryclear- ly, see how he and she were to live, sup- posing he won her. He knew that now nothing was to be expected from Mr. Stamen but he had a vague hope that Mrs. Wanklyn would do something handsome. He had no exact idea of the extent of the widow's fortune; but he had made up his mind that, if he mar- ried Loo, she could, without inconven- ience to herself, allow them. a few hun- dred a year; and a few hundred a year seemed to him it fortune. All his life he had been more or less sailing under false colours, and now he began to feel he could do so no longer. This was a trying experience, and one well calcul- ated to depress and dispirit him. At the lowest calculation, he could not car- ry on his present scheme of life with the money he had for more than a few months longer. Whatever he did would be better than eating out his last pound, and then going to the poor- house or into the Thames. Only coarse people went into the poorhouse, and only people who were worse than coarse went mto the Thames; besides, people in the poor -house were not ha the least nice, and did not live in a comfortable way, as Mr. Stanley Bayless understood com- fort. He did not expect eight removes for dinner, but he liked four, and. a lit- tle dessert. In the poor -house or the Thames they had not four removes and dessert. No doubt he could have lived without even a modest dinner of the di- mensions he approved, but he would much rather not. Just as we could all, like Blue -coat &hoot bets, get on with- out hats, and yet, owmg to habit or what not, we prefer to go with our heads covered. Mr. Bayless had no particular love for Loo Stainer. He thought she was a very nice ladylike young woman, such as, in the ordinary course of things, ought to fall in love with hira. He was, as a matter of patent fact, far above the human, weaknesses of falling in love with any woman, old or young, rich or Mon was o mous: that young Enghlish- Eepor ; but this in no way interfered with man had brought back the gem, ad is desire that an eligible young woman 4. tunity of discussing the matter than round the family mahogany at Clap- ham common. Accordingly Mr. Bayless was bidden, and arrived duly at the old. man's club, situated ins street off Piccadilly. Here the two men sat down to a nice little dinner. When the dessert had been disposed of, Mr. Starner led 1 he way to the smoking -room, and, having ordered a bottle of excellent port, cigarettes for Bayless and eigars for himself, he seat- ed himself in one of the capacious chairs, and prepared to approach the subject as soon as opportunity should offer. To the elder man's agreeable surprise, the other opened the matter. 'I do not know,' said he, 'whether or not you may have a personal feel- ing toward me beyond the ordinary good feeling of pretty intimate acquaint- ance?' This was put in a mildly interrogative form, 'My dear Bayless,' said Mr. Stamer, who was now cheered and sustained by a good dinner and a moderate share of generous wine, 'I entertain for you the very highest respect and esteem.' Mr. Starner was a temperate man, but a dinner at his club always meant a little feast and an extra half bottle of wine. At one's club, when troubles pre- vail, there is more freedom from the consciousness of impendingdifficulties than in the haunts of business or by one's own fixeside. 'I am very glad to hear you say so; for I have something of great import- ance to see- to you, and without your good opinion I should not hope for suc- cess in the direction of my wishes.' Mr. Stanley Bayless was not a villain, but he was a very weak man, with a rooted antipathy to work and poverty. He would not wilfully harm a person, beyond the harm which may be done by the chatter of an idle tongue. But he would not scruple to take advantage of any piece of luck which came in his way; and he looked on Loo Starner and the fortune her aunt proposed leaving her as luok which it would be folly on his part to lose. Mr. Stainer bowed. He knew what was coming, and did not care to say anything more. The other went on: 'For some time, for a time before I first had the pleasure of ranking your acquaintance, the one great hope of my life has been that your 'daughter Louisa might, with the sanction of Mrs. Sta- mer and vou. consent to share that life with me event—national or Court mourning— snakes in Australia, so fax as known, throws a gloom over the country a number forty-two, and Mr. Smith has a Line " fish, ' weighing, perhaps, 140 lbs., of all of them.
