Ith ICdrl1, 'r The Mystery f No. had entered, and, in any case, ?cost assuredly would have taken the sap- p ares; w i while tlleery that the room h ki h had been entered from the skylight in the house looking on Mr. St. George's leads, fell to the ground when inttury only elicited that the house was inhabited by an old Theuixiatie. cobbler, who lived alone in it, and could only crawl about at a snail's pace. His assistant slept in Marylebone Lane, and being duly followed there, it was proved that he had come home to 'his lodging as usual, had his tea, retired to bed and come down at his usual time next morning, so that it was impossible lie should have been inside the cobbler's house that night. Elizabeth, herself had never given the sapphire theory a thought. If she did not value the stones particul arty she'sufficiently realized their worth to hide them in such a way that no outsider could- positively know where to look for them and as to the seiry autt s in :the house any of them - could have robbed her at any time.. Jack simply hated the stones, and had protested against her, accepting a gift that marked her. out as a sub- voman for violence and possibly murder, besides being a perpetual source of anxiety to himself. But a woman, must be an angel who will refuse a priceless jewel that exactly suits her eyes and complex ion, and moreover makes her at once a target for the envy and malice of her kind; for wherever 'Elizabeth went, those two enormous sapphires — so enormous that they were seldom be- lieved, to be real save by those who knew Ober—riveted every eye upon her arm. Two conditions had been attached. to this gift, that she should never let them out .of her own personal possess- ion, and that she should never raise money upon them on sell them. Gayly enough Elizabeth had made the necessary promise to her rich god - tether, now dead, but long ago she htad repented her of making either. Gladly would she have turned them Leto ' money, for Jack's progress at the Bar. was slow, and food and house - rent were dear, so was society, and life in town meant a perpetual dis- bursing of small and big coins, while the employment purchased by the same was disproportionately small. But she had given her word, and instead of breaking it, she hath hit on a little plan by which she might ob- tain some money, and enjoy the b.iss ot pouring it all one day into Jack's brown hand, and sy she had collogued with, Barry, and confusion had come of it, and despair and death. Long before that she had sacrificed her own comfort to economy in the house, that she might take a small cottage in the country •where fresh ar.r, urgently required by a certain precious somebody, could be obtained and so she had airily told Barry they had rooms to let, and he had moved into them gladly, not knowing the bad ttcconimodation she had reserved to herself above. To Jack an attic, with Elizabeth in it, was a palace, and) he bore philoso- phically what caused her, really acute pain ; but she often went down to the' cottage in Berkshire, as often indeed as her care for Jack permitted. They had never fallen out of love with each other, these two—nobody had come between them during the five years of their married life, for theirs had been; that{ perfect sympathy of heart and soul ;which makes united lives one long feast of delightful com- pany. And who would have dreamed that any interruption to their happi- ness should ever come ? And now she was alone—and friends ar I enemies alike marvelled that she could remain in that Louse whose num- ber and story were on every tongue, and that no one passed without a curious stare up at its pretty win- dows, as if expecting to see a ghostly tragedy enacted. She wio had once been so sensitive was surely not sensitive now, or she must have fled frons it long ago; but they did not know that her courage was stronger than her sensitiveness therefore she remained, When Jack came home—ay 1 but would he bear, to put up with her com- pany always, if his prison -doors opened, and sent him forth a free man. Elizabeth did not break down as some women would have done under the awful strain, Some people go down under adversity, others are braced up by it. If she had an enor- mous capacity for suffering, she had also a good .constitution, so that high - mottled courage which rises to the oc- casion, as the thoroughbred horse will respond to the call upon him even if, in accomplishing it, he. burst his heart and ,die. So her back grew to its burden, and if 'she wasted day by day, her spirit was yet unbroken and whole', within her. Nervouts as •$he was, indeed, with that terrible physical nervousness known only to the deaf, who never grow accustomed to the strangeness of people apPearing suddenly, without sound, before them, and who are weary with the perpetual strain of trying to hear indistinct, and unsym- pathetic voices that irritate and wound their ears. Common people look upon a deaf person as only one degree removed from an idiot, and not only roar at Elm, butt think it necessary to elab- orately explain everything down to Lie liinitecl intelligence.; much as an Englishman, when he is trying to talk l+reneh, holloas at a Frenchman. It had, collie with such cruel swift- ness on Elizabeth, and it had come to remain forever. A bright, eager child, thirsting to be first in her school, over work, a sudden chill, and then—silence to all the sweetest sounds of nature, and. the tenderest, most delicious notes of the human voice, To sit axone, while other. laughed, to be the fool of her Company, = when mast eager to wider - stand, to see life only from one nar- row stand -point, and hear it not at all with " Wisdom at, one entrance quite shut out " this was the life, of Elizabeth, and she had 1)Orne it, yea., and gayly, with love to turn all its broken promise to gold; but now that love was gone, the sal- erste seemed - to toueh her heart, and oho shrank farther into her chilly lone., OHAPTBR IV :--Continued. "Barry Ross was a good. fellow?" be said. abr,,uptly, Elizabeth stepped back as if Kr. Larteille had, struck her. "He was a hound," she said, with e gesture of fiercest loathing and re, pudation " a traitor and a coward, and he deserved what he got, and more—and mores" Her blue eyes blazed her slight form grew taller, she had leaped at a bound from a timid gird to an aveng- ing goddess. Before Godi" said Mr. Latreille, below his breath, ";the is capable of a,nyrhing—what if she has been tell- ing the truth right through, after all." The moment of revenge, of fancied annihilation passed; itt was bat a young thing trembling in every limb who stood before him with. slender hands held up to him in prayer. i "You will do your best for Mimi sheet said. Yes—I will—but. I tell 'you pl.atn- iy I have little hope of getting him ol;f, All I nave to put against the overwhelming testimony to his guilt is ante small scrap ot evidence that may be worth much, ar nothing at all." If any one can save hien, you will,"said Elizabeth, trying to still her quivering limbs, "and: 01 may God bless you if you do." Mr. Latreille took her poor little fluttering hand, and held it fast between his two strong ones. "You a bad woman?" he said, 'liter- ally thinking aloud, "not a bit of it —a better one never breathed, for all your tantrums, and though you can tell a lie, and stick to it, too. Arid I'll do my best. So he won't see you, eh?" "A pity," said Mr. Latreille, his, side glance taking in all the pride and suffering of her face "for Ithink--" "Tell him," she said earnestly, "that I have but one favor to beg of .him. and that I beseech him to grant me—That he will plead 'Not guilty.' Thai it he does; so, if not acquitted, he may be punished for manslaughter only, and we will wait for him, Daffy and I, till he comes back to us we will wait all our lives long it needs be. But if he refuses thys request ot mine----" she paused, and in her white face Mr. Latreille read her in- tention, "I will tell him," he said, below his breath, "And I will come and see you again as "soon as I have any- thing to .tell you." ale pressed her hand. There were tears in his eyes as he went out. CRAPTE,R V. "01 thinkna ye my heart was sair As I laid the moolt :on his yellow hair? 01 thinkna ye my heart was wee. As 1 turned about, awe to gas?" And Barry Ross' place knew him no more. By the side of her dead boy his. mother had kneeled and cursed his murderers, and when at, last she had been suffered to take him away, she had buried him among his own people ; and the names of Elizabeth and her husband were the most horrible of all names in her widowed and child- less years. For she believed, as did so many others, that the woman had cogetted with her son, had led him on, and then turned upon him, and eith- er slain him with her own hand, or by force of the situation in which her husband found her, had actually con- strained him to the crime. If this woman were not guilty, why had she not comato her, the bereaved mother, as she looked on the dead face of her boy, and wept with her over him, as for a lost friend whom she had sincerely valued, Mrs. Ross had not thought , it strange that her son should occupy, some rooms in Mr. St. George's house; the two men had been at .Eton and at Oxford together, and when one had married and the other had re mained single, the friendship[ still con- tinued. Looking back, Mrs. Ross re- membered that Barry had often spoken of Elizabeth, of how lovely she was, how good, yet how full of fire, and how patiently she bore the deafness that had afflicted her from earliest youth;. But she could recall no sign that he loved her, or gave her undue place in his thoughts, though she re- membered, too, that he spoke in praise ot no woman save Elizabeth[. Barry had never been known to do a shady thing in his life; he had been loved everywhere for his sunny looks and temper, for his sweetness of nature which had never suffered him to sin against anyone but himself; and now he lay in his grave, with a dark cloud of dishonor resting over him in the eyes of all save his friends, who swore that it was impossible he should have stolen down in the night on; so base an errand as was said to be the cause of his death. There were others—neither friends nor foes—who suggested that, when -acting on a mach impulse,. . he had descended to the drawing -room, eith- er struck with remorse or maddened by .Elizabeth's reproaches, he had, turned the pistol against himself; but was it possible that after such an occurrence she could have slept calm- ly for many hours? Merciful souls said; that in very truth she had not wakened at all that night, her deafness having placed her in the extraordinary position that she might, be in the midst of a tragedy and know nothing of it, brut Jaek, happening upon Mr. Ross there, and doubting both her and hint, had slain his false friend, and left him there to silently tell his own tale. Others, again:, opined that a burglar, tempted by the sapphires, might have got in, and surprised by Mr, Ross had self-defence shot him; but were a pistol in, Barry's posse,ssiolu Was it not More likely that he would have shot. the thief/ And the weapon was St. George's, not Barry's. Again, burglars do not as a rule go anywhere without being pretty sure of their ground, and if they had received information from a oonfecler- ate in, the house, they would probably not have boon surprised at all, but departed with, the sable ease ns they X4 ir Bi T I E NS !lanes, as one who could naverbe wnrin 1 again.

Why did she find it a constant struggle now trio be •kind to her ? Was the difference iherself; or in Rose? The latter ldid not speak, and some- thing ng in her silence, and her averted head, struck Elizabeth painfully, and a sense of profound humiliation stung her through and through.

Was she not in as piteous plight as the ruined heir of Linne?

Onc, of the greatest and most con- mon defoiirnities of the day is one that with care and attention can be remedied. It ie the round-shouldered or stooping habit. Many of the most natural figures show this tendency to stoop, while in the narrow -chested it is marked to a painful degree. ; .And yet, by raising oneself leisurely linen the toes in a. perpendicular position several times a day this deformity, can be easily rectified. To do this proper- 'ly one must be in a perfectly: upright position, the grans dropping at the side, the heels well ,together and; the toes forming an angle of 45 degrees. The rise should be made very slowly, and from the balls of both feet, and the descent' shoulii be accomplished in the same way, without swaying the' body out of the pea.+pendiculatr, The exercise _is not an easy one, bulb may be accomplished by patience. It can be ,,modified, too, by standing first on one leg, h g, then on thd:other.
