It fell out in this way : SLIc years of grinding office work,: with wretclual pay and dreary toil, had eaten in- to his endurance ' and .sapped hid courage. Hopelessness was growing upon him, when one morning the purser. of the Hong -Kong steamer, just arrived in San Francisco, pieced in his hand a roll of, Bank of. Eng- land notes, amounting in American money to about $14,000. Tr.is was to be delivered. by Riley to the wife of one Manning, a former frieud of hist but for five years a resident in China, and now reported to be. de ing of an incurable ailment. Mrs. Nlanning lived at a town sonic twelve houre' distance from San Fran- ciseo. Riley had never teen her but he had heard of her often frorti Manni,ng, who, .after a few years of married unhappineee, had parted from her intinger and had gone to China, vowing never eo eee her -again. At,- intervals he correeponded with Riley, but not with his Wife, with whom his gime rel bad been bitter, and who was provided against want by -a fortune, in her. own right. A letter came with the money, giving the - reason for the. peculiar mode of traneferi _and requesting Riley to take the -sum to • Itlre. Menning, 'tend place it. in her hand§ as a last reniembrauce from one who had loved her to the end. The bearer, of the packet and letter had seen Manning a short time before the steamer left China, and judged' that hisillnees,inuat already have terminat- ed fatally. Reeovery was imposeible, The money thus sent to hie wife was his entire fortune, and it was heeded to Riley just as it had been handed 0 the purser, in Bank of England metes, wound round a small piece of wood, and making a little cylin• drical packee•that could be easily held in the 41o8ed hand. That night Riley, shut in his 'room with the money, had wild thoughts. He knew Mra. Manning to be well provided -for, He kuew Manning to be dead. The man who bad given him the . peeked, would probably never think of it again, The . woman tor whom it was deetieed had not expected it, end would therefore -never raise. a question about it. Li a whole lifetime euch a chance _as this inight noe Occur again. The purser had told heel that -in twelve days the steam- er would Otarn to China, and he with it. When he ireets gone there was hot one per- son in thrl world frein whorn to fear dote° 8i°Pe"t•ley (was a man of a refined and sensitive nature, but week and timid.; end before thie, the. feat great temptetinn of hie life, he *ell, Clever and adainive, but unstable as water, his mind Was filled with splendid -dreams of wealth and succese, which -he lacked the force and ddeing eo try acid realize. Ile re-velled in viehine of greatness and luxury, and woke teem his roveriee to eee tho rgettli.1 walls et the office about him, hi3 (leek and ledgere below him, the coarse and common faueti of his fellow clef ks on either hand, and -he mined his fate. He, loathed his life, arid.' was too fainehearted too shrieking and fearfel, to attempt any other. Ho girded againat the deseiey Ghat had pieced him amen this . sordid lot, and yet waS afraid to, raise. in his might and throw down his challenge to the world. Too dejected and disheat timed to. fall to the brutal level to which wen of his tompermeut will eink under the blows of fortune, he lived on in a sort of a dreary torpdr, SOMO•. thnes dreamily happy in .follovving out the fruitlese schemes of hie evening meditations, sometimes numbered by a creepiug self.des- pair, always turning the dull °yea of a sick mind on the world 'about him, as if in .a pleading- which had once be- n pitiful, but was now only spiritlese. _ He was a man Made fat wealeh, Under the Warmth of proepanity all the charms and graces of his effeminate nature would have bloomed into -beauty. He could then heves cu/tivated his talenes, euppressed now by thankless toile Idlenesti and plenty, relief from care and responsibility, would net have spoiled him ite ehey more strenuoue characters, but, would have encouraged and stimulated all his latent abilities. and fiaer qualities. Money,. instead of opening the way to still greater etemptatione, would have mated barriers to those 'that now as- sailed him. Where stronger! men .would have failed end fallen, this weakling would rise te iumphant, This was the life that allured him, not because through it he could . gratify the lower mettle, bet because it. would eneble him to deeelop the higher. He would melte. it a life of be'Mity and of peace. le would be full of kindlinese, of charitn, of grace and 'subdued eplendor. Aod some gentle and loving woman would glorify- it with him. Siturg in his miserable room, his glaoce riviterl un the yed 'eye of h;s emall stove, he dreamed of her, shining through the dimneee of hi2.4 revery with the softened radiance of a star. She ,would share. his joys and ch feats-an.1 triumphs. -In hie hour eadnee.e he woold feel here hand in hie,. and the toueli of her lips' would have power to brush away his glootn. :All the trouble nnd sot row cf the world would melt. from his men. o•y,. hil head pillowecl on a heart that heat nlv for hirid. • • Merbi,t, solitary, and hopefeee, the sud.- den tertgeetien to ttke the money struck him a 1110.4 h:numbeel his conseience. He waited for a few days before the Hong Kong et(etner seiled, then resigned his posh. Hon, drow hie emelt savings from the bank and fled. All through the j matey he was uphorne he, a tirglorg cense of exhilaration and exultation. Wild Fell:ones for the in- vestrneut el tae money flitted through his head. At one moment he would go north to hied -mint end the grain lands ; at the next, sou'h to Florida and the orenge grove.. He epeculated on, the chances of- fered at. the Cepc of Good Hope, and the openiege in Farther India. He would go. ammo here where leo eign or pound from his old life could intrude. He Would change hie name and brgin .anevv. If hi3 schemes succeede.I he would devote most of hie in• come to elotriteetind eoed worke. He would forget the toll cf the put, and try to make a heaven of his future. lie felt no remorse, for he tholightehe had wronget no one, and he barrel with high hopes an eager expec. tatiuns when he speculated o the poeeibili• ties of :-.e day to come. He ktalked brilli- antly fold gayly with- the people on the eareeerd train, for no fears of p.ursuit or detection Ween he arrived in New York there was enapin the tension and then a terrible collapee.' He hud put up at a small- hotel for econemy,_ and here, alone, tired and ir- resolute, he had time tq. see what he had done. In the eolilitde of his wretched -room hie sin rose.\Jp and looked him in the face. He had beeruyed the trust of hie dead friend ; he had robbed the widow and tho orphan.

Y. of the nerves, be" suddenly ecarzed that he knew literally nothing of Mrs. Manning's preeent circumstances. Years before, when Mantling had married her, .she had been rich,but eince then reversesof fortuee might have dissipated her income, At this ' mo- ment, while he sat in a hotel in New York, with her mnney his hand, she and her children rnight he in grindieg need of it. He _was a thief -a pariah among men. Horroe seized upon him. He could find no aeet. At night he lay broad awake, hie eyes Rearing into the dark. In the day he eat in • his little room, his elbows on the table and hie face in hie hands.. Outside or inside, alone or in a crowd, he could find no releaee from his growing remorse and shame. , It seemed to him that he read disgust and scorn iu the eyes of the_ paseers in the street ; that the waiter at the table epoke to him with a hardly veiled contempt ; that the chamber -maid who cleaned hie room touched his boots and -clothes reluct- antly, as pertaining to one utterly deepic- able and looked a_thim with a furitive, die- dain'ful curioeity from the ends of her eyes. Everybody seemed drawn a great way from him, and he felt es if hp was looking wist- fully.at their dwindling figures from a huge distance. He was alone in the world of men, who all seemed to point a finger at him as he, the thief, slouched by.. A week of sleepleeeness of sotitary brood• ing, of 'haunting remora:), broke him down as completely as three menthe' illness would have done. On the eveniug of theeeventh day, sitting in,hisi roomed° the heavy tor• per of dogged ihoPeleeeneas, he came to the conclusion that he a ould make the only reparation poeeible, by returning the money. to Mrs. Manningd By continually dwelling on the idea that ehe might have lost her tor - tune, he had come tie' believe -it, as an ablao. lute certainey, and day midnight was one - sued by the thought of her in diCe poveriy, waiting for word from her absent husbaed. He had at first thought .of writing het a letter acknowledging eVerything. But this was too hard -the words -looked so Itrutall on paper. With curette and groins he toreolo sheet up, and in deepair flung his arms and head on the table, wiehing for death., Then an inspiration came to him, and on a blank sheet he wrote the - words, " Bo merciful, and keep my secret," wrapped the paper round the mooey, -and sealed the ends wIth wax. She had seen his writing, and he. 'thought she would undUrstand. But oven now he was reluetant to part with ite Not HO lini0h beeaune he wantied the mouey, as becatme he ceuld not boar Ole thought that one unknown woman might brand him with the name of thiet. In afeer years he might meet her, and he would read her knewledge and her scorn in her oyes as he seemed to now inthe eyes of the waiter. He thought he would wait till the mernieg before• a final decision. One's thoughts were so much clearer in the morning. To. night he fele exhatnited and sick; sick to the heart with self loathing and shame, .sick with sense of oppreasion thut amounted to phynie31 He was too weary to think, end too overwrought to` sleep., He would ge out, go out and try to divert -his Mind ; tee people, hear them talk, listen to them •laugh ; forger, forget, if only for one half' hour; go somewhere where they would not all seem. to know he was a thief, and stare at, him with a wolfiah eligcr -curiosity. -A theatre would be the beet place, and taking up a morning paper, ho -looked over the ad- vertisements of the different plityhoutes. At the bead of the list he saw the announce. ment that a great prima. donna atould sing at the opera house that, night.. He had never heard any of the mere celebrated singers, and, as he Was fond of music, this would be the best, calculated to engeoss his attteatien. He put. on hia drese suit 'and without directiog the packet, thrust it in hie pocket and wept forth. When he reached the opera house it was paetnine. The prices of the seats being too bigh for hie pulse, he paid _the admission fee and walked in. There was a great con• fueed mass of people, and lights and color and heat; Ho saw it all dimly, and dimly over it, through it, holding it together like a cord, girt -tieing in and out, and winding over and under it like a golden thread, he heard a yoige, a dreamy, melting vdiee, so -rich, so soft, so liquidly tender that even he was" wooed into forgetfulness, At one piece when many men like him- self were leabilug against a baluetrade, he etood hack -near the wall, and, with his arm downcast, listened. The voice rose higher, , and, like a bird's, the song seemed to cum.. prese itself into an ecseasy of rapture, as though thesinger -tried to crowd all ehe joy " of life iuto One perfect- moment.. And then it died softly like a nigh, a little sigh, half pain, half pleasure,t breathed suddenly from between -parted lips, with a throb in the throat, and a turn of the cool white neck. It made Riley thiek of his old dreami when he looked at the etovide red eye, and Ivhile the teat net° melted into the after hush, he.seemed, todeel the love of those dreama pressing with -spectral softness against his aide, With the applauee he woke to memory • and remorse. People about hint spoke excitedly, and men ejeculeted and stamped. Some. ona accid-entally jostled him, and made him turn faint itud gray with a eud- den throttling s,pa.sm of fear. Ai he ie. covered, two men passed near him, one re• marking "Aceually scraggy, and with eyebrows that metover her nose, and--" Tne other, his eyes eetchiug Riley, inter. rupted with, " That fellowts ill." .They both stared at him with curious and Iso-mewha touched nterest.

Ever after, when Ril y saw a woman's head in that tioeition, the throat so bent that the large tendon f om the s &sir to the collar bone started o t in relief, he felt a sudden tight, - ening at is heart, ahd a deadening sense of sinkiog a d oppressien.

Riley watched it meohanic- ally, kithout thinking of it ; hut unknown to hfinself, every detail of ite appearance produced an -indelible image op his mental vision -the crumpled, citshionyl look of the pink palm, the manner in whigh the points of the nails curved downward over the tips of the fingots, the contraction fp the second joint of the thumb called byl students of palmistry " a whist." Then even as he gazed, it seemed to blend with' another wave of melody, its outlines mingled with the pleadin of the violins, it dissolved itself ire to the harmonies breathing through the air, and swim before his eyes like ft white miet. Again came the lull, the drooping of sound toward silence, ite pensive decline into annihilation, and again the hand mem- ed to condense and take shape, growing, as the hush absorbed the fading musio, into a real hand, warm and white, ;against the cushioned ledge. It was so close to him that 'he could have easily touched the curved fingers, but his own were deep in his pocket, clinched round Mrs, Manning's money. The fell of absolute if momentary silence roumed him. He turned his eyes away, and let his glance wander over the heads in the orchestra chairs till it was &treated by a trim hat high with bows of ribbon aud a sweep of blond hair drawn up from the whitoet of necks, againet which a few gold- en filamentee curling downward, shone in glietening semi circles. There was some. thing extremely attractive add dainty about the back of the girl's head, and wondering whether the face would be equally pretty, Riley continued to watch her. Presently she half turned to speak to some one beside her, pursuing her itps, and letting some slow monohyllable fall reluotantly from them. It might be " Yea" and it might be "No." She was pretty, with' her richly curved cneek, and her fine, slightly retro- ussi nose. Now she was smiling, and look• ing at her companion from beneath her eye- liehas in a coquetish way. He was a large, brown -haired man, with the !neck of his neck red above hie white collar. His face, as he.slowly turned it toward her, was red, too, sun burned it seemed, and-egreab God ! *Riley felt the whole theatre rise and fall and sway like a ship in a heavy aea, and all the heade teemed to seethe together sudden- ly into a bubbling blur -it was the pureer of the Hong Kong eteamer ! For a moment Riley was unable to move. lie sat there frc zan, ghastly, gray -faced and looked. The purser said something to the girl beside him, in answer to which she made a little pouting grimace. He half eose, eat down again, and felt under his ehair for his hate Then be dtew it forth, and rising, backed slowly into the mile. He was coming out ! lk Riley sank into the Sluedow but still sat rigid, with his brain on fire. 'In his pocket - his hand tightened on the. money. The musicians were playieg again, and his thoughts begen te blur as the people's heads had done a few moments before. But from the turmoil of hi3 mind one flicker of reason kept leapieg up like a jet of flame in a draught -he was trapped. The man had seen him and -was coming. He would be at the door in a dement. He would catch him here int this box, like a rat in a hole, With the mpney in his pocket. It must be thrown awiay, hidden. and now on the in. stant. Ilellooked wildly about. There was not a ereviieei., not a cranny, not a chink where he could conceal it. The music rose higher and higher, throb- bing like a heart in a frerzy of exultation n,od triumph, and like a muffled undertone come the eoft, regtar fall of footsteps in the corridor, Riley'e soul went up in a sudden passion of prayer for deliyery. Then came the thought of ruabing out, beating hie way through, killing his' pursuer, trampling him to blood and oozing pulp. The desperation of the animal driven to bay was upon him. Before yielding to the madness of this thought he cast a last look about him, and hii eyes fell on the hand resting idle end bite on the ledge beside him. For an instant he gazed at, it. The answer to his prayer htd come. He noise- leeely thrust out his aim, pushed the roll of money ineide the up curled fingers, and was gone with the stealth and swiftness of a thief. Next day Riley sailed for Liverpool, and ten days later was on the deck of an Aus- tralian liner bound for Melbourne. When he reached his destination he was penniless. Then began a life of toil, of struggle, and of triumph. He changed hie name to Parker and strove to banish from hie mind all memories of his old life. He tried to forget, it, to blot it out as though it had not been. Nothing existed for him anterior to the day of hie landing upon Australian soil. He worked hard, and, by degrees, saw himself grow rich and prosperous. Success, sur: prieing and continual, crowned hie enter prises. People began to allude to his luck as something marvellous. The golden touch of King Midas eeemed to have become his:, In the eyes of the world he was a gener ous, just, fearless man, but underneath his quietly self-confident exterior the inborn weakness of his nature cowered in secret. It now lay in a horror of the old days, in a haunting fear of betrayal. With slow toil he had built up fortune and name? and he valued the latter as only a man can who knows himself a criminal. He wanted to be respected and honored as one whose record Is spotless. He cherished a longing to be well thought of that was almost pitiful ba its wistful intensity, and he hoped, by the rigid honesty of his present life, to pay -off the debt of his past. When his fortune began to increase, and he saw himeelf suddenly rich, all the pleas. ure he felt rose from the thought that now he could make retribution, now he could shower money on charity, on desolate women and homeless children, and to make amends for his theft. The first atonement was, of course, to Mrs, Manning. Search proved that she had died a year after her husband. To her children, though already well provided for, the monsy was restored, and this gave to Parker the first real hap. pines@ of his life. But he hated to remember. This kind and honeet man, who seemed to find no pleasure in life outside of thee doing of good deeds, feared the memory of one epoch in his career as a nervous ehild fears the ghost that is always at ite heels when it mounts a dark staircase. He was afraid of the hours of revery ; he dreaded the wake- ful moments in the night. He lived in hideous apprehension of some turn of des- tiny reveeling him to the world that honor- ed him, sweeping away with one swift, sud- den movement the little place he fled made for himself with Mich patience mid (tare. As the years passed and still no revelatien betrayed him,he gradually felt more seem and a sort of dull peace settled on hos RPHiriits. fears of the purser had soon died out. The fellow's presence in the opera house on that particular night could have had no connection with his. - Any one lees dis- traught than Parker would have seen this at the time from the man's gay and insouci- ant demeanor, which was certainly not that of one who pursues a criminal. When, the turbulence of his mind had subsided Parker remembered having heard the man say that some day he intended leaving the steamship company'a service, as he could hope for no further advancement there. He must have resigned his position some tiny) before the steamer sailed, come directly to New York, and happened by chance to choose that very night to go to the opera. How needless, how purposeless all that out- lay of agony ! So Parker mused, and smiled bitterly at the memory of hie cause- less despair. Occasionally, too, his vagrant thoughts flew back and touched the woman into whose hand he had thrust the money. And these were ghastly thoughts. He felt as if he had a compact with a ghost or a devil, so impalpable, so unreal, seemed the per- eonality behind that &lender hand. In wakeful hours of the night he felt that ib had only existed in his imagination that it Was a delusion of his over!. strained brain. But at other_ times - sitting over his wine at his lonely dinner table, watching the sunset from the steps of his deep balconies -he knew that it was real, and closing his eyes, he could call up again the feeling of that soft,eool,hand as it moved under his. Eight years after his arrival in Australia he left the country for the first time, intend- ing to spend a year in European travel. He now felt perfectly safe, and able to look the world in the face, for he knew that the world did net know what he did. He had got as far as London when he met Helen Adair, an American girl travelling with her father, and fell in love with her at the first meeting. She seemed to him the ideal of his dreams. He had never before felt real love for any woman, and when it came, all the pent-up tenderness, the suppreseed pas- sion, of his nature buret into life. His heartjnarrowed and compressed Ly hard- sleip and self abasement, 'opened like a flower under a warming sun. Hie sweetheart, was worthy of his love. She was an exquisite woman, lovely, gentle, intelligent, sweet. She was twenty-six or seven ears of age, but seemed much young- er, partly by reaeon of her extremely youth. ful appearance, partly through her manner, which had in it a sort of girlish gravity, a serious intentness, such as one sometimes noticee in the manner of a thoughtful child. She was slender and graceful, with a fine air of distinction, and a gracious bearing free from all coquetry or caprice. In the expres- sion of her earnest, almost sombre, brown eyes, looking out gravely from under a straight line of heavy eyebrow, in the firm- ness of her curved mouth, in the bold sweep of her jaw, one eaw eincerity, fortitude and courage. It did not take a physiognomiat to discover that this was a woman made to be leant against, not to lean, a wife to sus- tain and uphold, a mother to cemfort and protect. All her intent tenderness lay hid- den under the still reserve of her manner, and it fell to Edward Parker, ex -thief and coward, to arouse it. There was something almost pathetic in their love. Both vaguely realized the su- periority of the woman, and both, to hide this realizetion, redoubled their tendernees. The feet of the idol were of clay, and idol and worshipper knew it, yet tried with ut- most cunning to make each think that the other was blind to the flew. To the woman this discovery waa keen pain, stinging her heart as a secret dieloyalty to the man she loved, and lending to her attitude toward him something at once of fostering protec. tion and impassioned solicitude, while be- tween him and the world she seemed to stand proudly defiant. H3, on the other hand, was too cowardly even to admit to himself hisdnferiority, or te opeDly own it toiler, and, in a tremor of fear, he strove to deceive both. He could not bear to think that through any defect of his own, one grain, one fraction of his love ehould be withheld. • Thus, in their efforts to blind each other, perfect confidence was lest, and a constraint existed between them which oppreseed them, arid yet which neither could banish. Parker felt this most, for it was heightened by his morbid vanity and sensitiveness. If he had longed for the esteem of his fellows while in Australia, how much more deeply did he long forth° complete love and confid- ence of this woman Ho wanted her to be- lieve and trust in him as she did in her God. The thought of her ever finding out the stain on his career was a nightmare to him. The thought that he would ever see a shade of suspicioia or reproof dim the clear trust. fulness of her glance filled him with a sick nread. He hated his eiu with renewed in. tensity became it seemed to be the one hinderaece to the perfect fusion of their two lives. By reason of it his life could on. ly tounh hers at occasional points, not blend with it from now till death. That one wild act lay like a naked sword between their souls.

In the. dusky corners of the room the mirrors ans. wered with shooting, spectral gleams to the - dance of the 'limes in the grate, and the long draperies of the heavy curtains seemed to fade into the darkness of the walls. Into the sombreness of this room Mrs.. Parker came suddenly like a spirit of light. With one hand bent backvrard over her shoulder to catch up her heavy cloak of ell. very plush, and the other still keeping a. light hold on the portiere, which seemed, slipping from between her fingers vvith slow, lingering reluctance, she stood silent, look- ing at her husband with a 'sort of shy con. scrousnees of her beauty. He had never seen her look so lovely. The moving lights touched her glimmering figure into still; greater splendor, throwing into high relief the sheer outlying films of her gauzy draper, - les, catching here and there a winleing • jewel, stirred by her breath or vibrating on its spiral support, shaking along the loose ripple of her hair as she moved her head.. Then, as she still stood motionless, looking, wistfully at him for some word of common - dation, he held out his arms to her, in sil- ence, and felt hers warm about his neck, But in his heart was bitterness. Hte felt. the barrier between them preseing their souls apart as he bad never felt it before, He knew that in reality, he was a stranger to his wife, that he deceived her, and that daily communication with her was making, 'light of truth, where you may judge me by longed to coulees, to cry aloud 8ee me ! allow me ! but let me stand free in the the deception more horrible to him; what I am See whit I have been I Pity what I have done," The faleenees of grew every day more unbearable, and cone tession every hour more impossible. In the - heart of his heney-moon, married to the Ave - man he loved, he felt a terror when he look- ed into the future. The operahouse was unlike that other one xvherobe had had a. foretaste of hell eight years before, and in the novelly of the scene, the beauty of the music, the scene of happiness na the close preximity of his beloved, the memory of that other time was forced into the back- ground. The box they were in was wellt eituated for seeing and hearing, and up- holatered in clink red velvet, made a finer setting for the beauty of Mrs. Parker, who. was soon the object of much staring an& comment. She, being a music lover, war oblivious to this, and sat well leeward. hi the front of the box, her hands olasped in her lap,ber head bending like a flower bell on her white throat, her eyes on the stage..

Mre. Parker pushed -back the boa of pale yellow feather& she wore, and being a lady who set aside fashion when it proved uncomfottable, drew: off one of her gloyee. Parker, accustomed; to a hot climate, did i3ot feel this ; but, fore getful of his remark that music bored him, and becoming interested in the performance, he moved forward to see the stage. He was now sitting near his wife his chair slightly behind here to the left, 'She had leant tote ward for the momenteto piece her glove on the velvet ledge beside her fan and -flowers ; then, ae her murmured to her, she made a geeture that meant silence, and kept her eyes on the stage, in her absorption letting her hand remain on the ledge. Parker, lezly amused at her interest, fol- lowed the gesture with fond eyes which continued to dwell on her hand as it' rested on the cushion. In was the one from which she had drawn the glove, and was a ,beauti- ful hand, email and fragile, with pointed fingers and pink nails. His glance travelled along her arm to where the lace of her short, sleeve drooped over it like a powdering ot blown snow, then passed down again to the delicate round wrist. She had moved her hand, and it now lay eidewaye, the fingers upeurled hke a sleeping baby's, The palm was pink and crumpled, the points dace naile curved downward over the tips of the fingers, and the thumb was small, with the contraction in the second joint which stud - mite of palmistry call " waist."
