of his lonely youth — his resolute

, chord of tender pity in her heart;
.and in short, before she was aware

when he would return. "1 tun ex-
ceedingly sorry not to see for myself
how port have borne your journey,"
ho added, "but a telegram from my
,
bi,e ur this afternoon obliges me to
start for Ostend to -night. 'f hope to
return speedily, and to be of any use

Mrs. Ituthven crushed up the note,
and thought profoundly for a few
minutes, Wil
with knotted tt brows is
of and
a
look ct . of pain; then she smoothed out
the paper, and, having copied the ad-
dress in her tablets, tore Shirley's
missive to pieces, and throw them in
the fire.
ft was altogether amiserable eve-
ning; llat:sdon promised to look in,
if there was time after an. interview
with the police officials charged with
the care of the "Evesloigh case,"
and a dinner with one of the at-
taches of the Austrian embassy: hut
the hours wore on, and he did not
come. All's, Ituthven was still un-
hinged and unwell from the result of
fright, but she ,was gathering
strength and composure. In truth,
though so slender and fragile in ap-
potu•unee, her nervous system was by
no means weak; nor did trifles, whe-
ther of filet or fancy, produce much
effect upon her; still she was glad to
ring for her !fluid, and retire to rest,
with a reacting -lamp beside her, and
a french novel of the strongest de-
scription in her hand.
But her own doubts, hopes, fears,
were of deeper interest. She did not
put implicit fancy in Shirley's asser-
tions; faith was not either her
strength or her weakness; after a
careful examination of her position
on all sides, she made up her mind
to inquire personally into the where-
abouts of the man she wished to em-
ploy. Site stretched out her ltancls
for her tablets, which lay on the lit-
tle table by her bed, and read over
the address: "Mr. John Waite, 11
Maryland Villas, Camden ]toad, N.
W." Where was Camden Road? A.
snap would soon tell. She would
drive there to -morrow morning,
Mrs. iluthven hacl none of the help-
lessness of a genuine line lady; no
shrinking from 'unaccustomed rough-
ness, if it suited her purpose to en-
counter it. -
Nor had she any fear of what her
s=ervants might say or think. To her

she would endeavor to ascertain all
about this man herself; vlie wished
Shirley had not gone away so quick-
ly. i fe surely was not fooling his
feet }irm enough to try standing
alone? Besides, his sudden anxiety
about his sister was curious. That
he had a sister, Mrs. ituthven was
aware, but ti tet was all; she did not
know she was in Europe. "Well, pa-
tience and perseverance will discover
most things—oven my rubies— per-
haps," was her last distinct
thought.
As soon as Mrs. Ituthven had had
her coffee and roll next day, she
dressed very plainly and warmly, for
it was a chill, misty morning, and
informed Virgenie, fur wrait, that
site was going to hold 0 consulta-
tion with her dress -maker. To carry
nut the idea, she directed that cer-
tain pieces of lace and Indian em-
broidery should be Imine up i11to a
packet, that she might take it to the
distinguished artiste she employed,
'!'hen a cab was called, and having
given audible direction where to
drive, she alighted at the well-known
establishment, dismissed her cab,
c
e-
Iosatel her parcel, with a verbal
message that Mrs. Ituthven would
call that afternoon or next day,
'walked to a little distance, and hail-
ing a hansom, drove to the address
which site gave the driver.

the wares dispensed. 'Within, flanging
about the doors, replaced the green

Mrs, iluthven desired her driver to

in black, with a pretty white aprolt,
and a becoming cap, not quite like
an English woman, yet scarcely fore

nice front parlor with a bay -window,
well shrouded by lace curtains, and
filled with good furniture, a little

"You wish to speak to me, ma-

"I do," Said firs, Ituthven, gazing
at him as she thought that Nature
had framed hirer far ,his work; he
was thoroughly tifuemarkable, not et

memory was likely to catch. IIis

"Because if it is, the gentleman

Waite handed her the card.
"L thought so. Well, Captain

"Thank you; it is a remarkable
case, oven us reported in the papers,

behind what thy get at. Will you
I allow nae?" ho drew a chair to the
table and took out a large note-
boole.
Mrs. Ruthven then gave a brief,
but clear, account of the circum-
stances under which the robbery was

Cast eyes and immovable attention,

ceased to speak.
"It is a, curious case, very," he
then said. "There seems no clew

"I should think not. I really do not
know; except that when in Paris
last spring, having occasion to send
my neeklace to a jeweler's, a large
oiler was made for it by 0 ratan who
was collecting rubies for some mil-
lionaire."
"Do you remember the name of the
jeweler?„
"Yes; Sergier et Moppert, Rue de
la Paix."
Waite wrote it down.
"Tuve you ever mentioned this be-
fore? Your maid, for instance—or any
one else?"
"I can not now remember."
"Have you any idea what time
elapsed between Mr. Marsden's de-
parture and the appearance of the
robber?"
"Not very distinctly. I certainly
