The three magistrates had sat uninter- ruptedly far into the autumn afternoon, and had now retired to consider their decision, -- It was a distressing case, occuring fn Single- bridge, which is a mere handful of atown provoked intense interest among the inhabitants. Everybody koew the parties concerned. Silas Westbrook, the reluc- tant prosecutor, was senior partner of an impressively solid frm which had flourished in the borough for gencrations. He enjoy- od a reputation for strict probity and broad benevolence which was singularly merit- ed. Hie son Augustus--also in the firm--a witness for the prosecution, was held in much esteem by eertain of the younger sort in Singlebridge, who sympathised in his amiable wildness, and if certain of the older sort looked askance at these, why that was ouly natural, About Mr, Blanchard, an- other witness for the prosecution, littl: was known to inquiring gossips. | He had been resident at the Westbrooks for about eight months during which period he had sat alongside Gus In the office in business hours and had been & good deal about with him at other times, Thcy got on amazingly well together, people observed, but despite all his efforts--and some of them were marked enough--Mr. Blanchared failed to similarly captivate Gus' pretty sister, Fanny As became her father's daughter, she treated the West Indian connection of her father's firm with unfailing graciousness. But her sweetest moods, her tonderest looks, snd gentlest tones were not, for him, The ruagician at whose bidding they gladly came was Blanchard's instinctive foe, From the moment Herold White, eonfidential clerk of the firm, and potential partner therein, met and simply shook hands with the West In. dian, they hated each other with a hatred that owed its substance on the one side to contempt, and on the other to all unchaitib. | leness. To-day will behold the triumph or) discomfiture of Blanchard. court of Singlebridge, in the presence of a crowd of people, the majority of whom' are personally known to him, Harold White stands accused, oh the united testimony of of the Westbrooks, of embazzlement, To profound chagrin of the magistrate's clerk, who cordially dislikimg Blanchard, wishes well to the accused, the latter con- ducts his own defence, "Silence in the court I' Of the four actors in the little drama, old Mr. Westbrook betrays the most agitation as the opening of a door in the back of the court heralds the return of the magistrates to their seats on the bench. 'The silence is | oppressive when ina voice full of meaning | PERFEOT LOVE 1S SIMPLE . FAITH. the chairman turns to the accused and says-- " Harold White, I who have know you for 80 mary years that the examination which my brother magistrates and myself have this day conducted to tho best of our ability has been to all of us fraught with the utmost pain, And we are bound to admit in your behalf that nothing has transpired in the course of this hearing which reflects in the least ou your conduct during the period to which I refer. We have given one consider, ation to this fact in your favor, and have come to the conclusion, actuated by motives | which we earnestly hope you will love to appreciate in the proper spirit, to dismiss this case. You may go.' 'But my char- acter I' exclaimed White, in a voice husky with emotion, 'Who is to clear it of taint ? 'Yourself,' answered the chairman, Call the next case' Dazed, trembling under the influence of daritng passions, he left the dock and passed out of the court into the sunlight street. -- Whither should he direct his feet? As he slowly and mechanically, seeiog nothing bearing nothing, with bowed head andy leaden gait, stole along in the direction o the river, he folt a touch on his arm, He paused, It was one of Mr Westbrook's clerks, -- The lad's mouth was tremulous with sym- pathy, 'Mr. Westbrook has sent me with this note, Mr. White,' he said, Is there any answer ?' 'Yes,' he replied, tearing the paper to atoms; 'there is. Mr. Westbrook wishes to see me, Tell him we shall not meet again until he is prepared to stand up in that court house and pray to be allowed to pro- claim my innocence in tones as loud as those which he used to-day in declaring my guilt.' The lad left him. The September sun was sinking redly beneath a familiar belt in the woods which fringed the further banks ot the river as he continued his moody walk, He had held on for miles, heedless of the direction he took, and now he awoke from his fit ot passionate bitterness to find himself on a spot that had often been hal- lowed by the prosence of the girl he loved. What did she think of him ? 'Harold I 'Fanoy I' . Iu these two words all was expressed. In that flerce embrace doubt was slain. 'Oh, Harold, I have followed you for hours, fearing to speak, you looked so pale and changed.' I am changed, They have not sent me to prison, Fan, but the prison taint is on me. Why don't you shrink from the moral leper as the rest of them have done ?' B '--and it seemed to him her voice had never thrilled with such sweetness be- fore--'1 know you.' ¢And you believe--' 'That all will be righted yet. I can wait dear--it you will let me. You were never more precious to me than you are now.' 'Miss Westbrook---- Come, Fanny this is no place for youn.' They had not heard the footsteps. It was Blanchard and her brother who had ap- proached unnoticed. «And no place for you, either,' said White to Blanchard. 'Faugh,' replied that worthy, 'I have no wards to waste on such as you, I am here to perform a duty, : 'Scoundrel,' Harold began at the same time raising his hand. and he was still, In the police yet She touched him } ed actions. If I choose to accompany my brother, it is because-~because I choose. -- Harold, good-bye! Come what may, my faith will not altar, my love never change.' The Inst four words were murmured. As she shaped them she stooped forward and kissed him before her brother, whose sur- prise at her deflant attitude was unspeak- uble, y? They parted and went thelr several ways. The charge against Harold White on embesslement and the result of it produced a wonder that lasted much longer than the proverbial nine days. His departure, the day after the trial, no ome knew whither, had the effect of Increasing the number and sympathy of his triends. It was genacrally admitted that his defence had been weak-- incomprehensibly weak. But who knew? He might have had his own invincible reasons for not making it stronger. Why had the brother ot his affianced (for she was affianced im all but am open declaration of the fact) broken with him so suddenly 1-- Until Blanchard appeared on the scene they were inseparable. Depend" upon it the West Indinu was at the bottom of it. In this fashion did the gossip of Singlebridge dis cuss the events of Harold's dowatall sad 'departure, Three months elapsed, and not a word had been heard of or irom Harold White; unless the female gosslp suggested he had written to Miss Westbrook, which consider~ ing the circumstances which proceeded his departure, he was hardly likely to have done, For once, however, they were out of their calculations. He had written her a letter in which these words occured : 'If I thought, darling, that you would be happier to be rid of me for good and all, our bond should be dissolved. It is your love for and simple faith iu me that sweetens my life, and keeps me steadfast in my de. termination to undo the miserable wrong from which I suffer, They shall right me ' +I bave borrowed for the present another name--my mother's before her marriage ; but the people with whom I am know that I am Herold White, and are acquainted with my history. I must try, dear, to rub om without the consolation which your letters would bestow, It is better that we would seem to have parted forever. In good time we shall meet--and then!' It puzzled well-informed Singlebridge to hear Fanny Westbrooks's cheerful words, to note her placid brow and bright manner.-- She never could have thought much of that Harold White, you know, or she would | have manifested some regret at his misfor= unes, Blanchard too, was mystified by her.-- what did it portend ? Had she resigned all hopes of becoming restored to her lover : The speaker 1s the call boy. - His tempter is Mr. Blanchard. "Wery well, sir, I'll risk It. If you are an old friend, I suppose it will be all right." Induced to commit a breach of discipline by the beatowal of a rather potent bribe, the call boy disappears behind a pile of scenery, and is presently heard In altercation with Harebell's dresser. . What do you want? Miss Harebell 1s nog A'beginner,' Bhe is not on until the second scene.' 'I know that, Mrs. Cummings, I want to speak to you' Blanchard heard no mote. A Pp conversation between 'the leading lady's dresser and the call boy was immediately succeeded by the appearance of that pre. cocions yonth, p 'hiss Harebell will meet yon after the performance, at her hotel, the George. She has apartments there. All you have to do is to send in your came. How yoa got in I don't know, If Mr. Bowshang was to stag you, wonldn't there be ashine, neither.' Meantime his note had produced a-start- ling effect on Miss Harebell. It ran thus 'At last I find you, In Miss Harebel! 1 find Fanny Westbrook. At the peril of those dearest to you, see me to-night, {am desperate.' 'Cummins,' gasped =e, 'lock that door.-- You did it for the best to get rid of him- It is always convenient to decline receiving a visitor at one's hotel ; "but I'l see him. -- Finish my bair and then find Mr, Beau- champ. I will speak with him before I yo on' Blanchard had again curiously under valued the strength of his lovely opponent. She saw the manager and exchanged with him & few whispered words, He grasped her hand warmly by way of emphasising hi chivalric intentions in her cause, Since the day them twelve months pre. viously, that Miss Westbrook had emerged her identy in that of the now talented actress Mins Harebell, Fanny had played many parts both off and on the stage. On thi particular night she excelled herself. The applause of her crowd of admirers was what would have been termed in a stage parlance "terrific." Such was the electric foice of her acting, it carried all before it. Was she playing up defianily to Blanchard ? Perhaps: On the conclusion of the play, she, laden with bouquets, retired to her drsssing room and in a few minutes had resumed, with she aid of Mrs, Cummins, the attire of ordinary life, Inthe space of a very few minutes Miss 'Harebell' was proceeding unnoticed, through a crowd of youthful idolators, who surround ed the pit door, under the convoy of Beau- champ, to her appartments at the George. Refore ascending the staircase which led whom he had so effectually helped to dis= | grace, and banish? He would see. His impetutious love for the sunny-haned, Sexon-eyed girl, a love that had sprung into existence the moment they met, had grown mightly since the first going of White, He would put an end to 'his uncertanty, He could face his fate. 'An interview with me?' replied Fanny: to his blandly proferred request ; certainly Mr. Blanchard.' , Her tone was provokingly even, 'And, if you please, let it take place now. Pray be seated.' If she bad only been embarassed, 'Miss Westbrook, I--I--fear that the im= pression which I made upon you the day of that unfortunate rencontre by the riverside was not fovorable, I ! 'Pray proceed, sir,' she remarked in icy tones, (Well, then--allow me--you cannot sure- ly have remained firm in the resolution yon then expressed--to cleave to--' 'Mr, Blanchard, I will assist you, You apparently wish to say that I must have ceased to love Harold White ? Is that so? 'Miss Westbrook--Fanny--pardon me ; I do, He is unworthy of you, Oh, if you did but know the depth of my love for you a? Stop, Mr. Blanchard,' said she, rising from her chair and moving slowly toward the door. 'Let us understand each other. -- Whether or not Harold White holds the place in my heart he once did concerns me and me only. The honor you 'have done me' Mr Blanchard--call it by what tender name you please--I despise. Mr. Blanchard, I know you I' 'Stop, Miss Westbrook I' he exclaimed making one step forward, and barring her way to the door, 'and harken te me. You have thrown the gage. Very well, I accept it. It was I who drove Harold White from Singleoridge Ah, you can be impressed, I see. It is I who can compel you to cosent to my demands: Now, Miss Westbrook, know me | Her face was very white as she swept proudly past the West Indian; but it was not the whiteness of fear. They measured swords with their eyes--how clear and searching hers were |--and parted, Next day Fanny Westbrook was missing from Singlebridge* For twelve months Silas Westbrook has been daughterless, Fanny was sought for far and near, but without avail: Gus had to quote the idiomatic expression of that con- genial companion already referred to, 'gone clear to the bad." Of all his former chums, Blanchard was the sole possessor of a know. ledge of the young scapegrace's whereabouts, As to the West Indian, he seemed to have relinquished all intention of returning to Jamaica. However, we must for the present leave Singlebridge; and make our way te the Theatre Royal, Easthampton, The house is crowded by the admirers of the leading lady whose night it Is, EN Old Fusston, the stage doorkeeper, is ay this moment in a state of mind bordering on despair.
