Srlections. MY FRIENDS TI TEMPTATION. BY EUGENE J. HALL. "" An Monsieur! The world has many temptations that try the ficmest friend- ships. There are few men living that are not selfish and covetons : acquidiveness is an odious attribute that is common to all, and many allow it to overcome their better reason and honor." The speaker Jacques Vaulios was a ner- vous and excitable Frenchmap who in company with a frend named Paul Dur- and was strolling through cme of the shady avenues of the ** Bois de Bou- logne." " Eh bien," returned Durand, * the Ge- sire of secummulating riches is but -humau --but what should eause you refer to this subject I" *"1 was thinking of past experiences." '"And did your remark apply to any particular one 1" "It dud. Did I ever tell you of my trip to Vienra and a singular adventure that befel me there 1" : "" No." The two friends came to a rustic seat and sat down, while Jacques Vaulios relat- "A few years ago I had occasion to visit Vienna. I held at that time an im- portant and responsible position in a bank ing house, and enjoyed the full confidence and trust of my employers. Iwas called to that city by important business of my own ; a wealthy relative having died lesv- ing me a large legacy and the settlement of which involved considerable difficulty, and it was found my presence was per that my sonally required at that capital, " Just as I was about starting upon my journey, one of my employers sent 4 me requesting me to come to him. He re- ceiyed me very pleasantly ; he expressed a great degree of fid in my ch ter and integrity and stated that it was his desire that '1 should andertake the delivety ofjsonte'diamonds of great value, to a gentleman of rank whose home was in the city whero I was going. Ib seemed to me too responsible an undertaking and, at first, I demurred to his proposition, but he 50 earnestly importuned me to comply with his wishes, that I found it difficuls to refuse him. He bade me come to his house early on the following morning and he would more particularly instruct me, with regard as to how and to what I ould do. "arly cn the following day T kept my appointment with him, according to agree- ment. He produced a small red morocco casket, which he opened in my pr the morning to appear. I fancied I could hear footsteps approaching my door, then it scomed as if I could distinguish the sound of .a person breathing in the room. Determining to assure myself that noching was wrong, I arose and turned up the light ; 1 looked into every corner and pos- sible hiding place ; I again looked to the fastening of the doors, there was nothing visible to excite my ici '" We shall see presently." ' We returned to where my friend stood waiting ; he regarded us uneasily and could not conceal his nervousness, which visible emotions the keen eyes of the official wete not slow to dbesrve. " Be seated, gentlemen,' said the officer. " Pushing writing materials towards my friend, as ha sat down beside the table, he (3 ; the was still where I had placed it 3 it's pre: cious contents were safe, why I had such a vague indefinable fear in my heart; I cotild not understand, nor, could I banish my strange feelings of apprelension. *¢ At last I fell asleep again, I know not how long I had lain thus, but I was awakened by a most strange and unac- countable sensation, I was perfectly con- scious. 1 could bear every sound and dis- tinguish every object clearly in the room, yet my body seemed to tingle with a most revealing a number of very rare and costly gems which 1 knew to be valued at many thousands of francs. "' " You see,' he said to me, as he closed the casket and guve it into my_possession, 'how very valuable these treasures are. It will be necessary for you to be extreme- { careful, to avoid all dangerous places and company, and on no account to of the casket or to reveal the secret contents to dny one until you present it to its proper owner.' 'I assured my employer that his wishes should be carefully heeded and taking my leave of him,immediately started upon my | journey. " As the rouse I took was a very direct and putlic one I had little appreh , & strange feeling of numbness. I could not lift a finger nor move a limb, ; "1 was under the influence of chloro- form. ' Bending over me, in her snowy night robe, I saw the wife of my treacherous friend. There was a smile of wicked satis- faction upon her face. In her small shape- ly hand, she held the casket of diamonds. ts | I knew I was being robbed ; I knew [ was not dreaming ; I struggled to move ; I es- sayed to cry out, but was as helpless and powerless as a dead person. 1 saw my friend standing by his com- panion in crime ; heard him whisper to ber that all was well.

I learned that he too was going to Vienna, which afforded me much pleasure. The prospect of his pany trange and fantastic fers present. ed to me. I felt a mad incolitrollable de- sire to laugh immoderately, whi lowed by emotions of describable. A jumbled up | mass of ani- mate and inanimate things seemed passing before and circling about me ; the mo- meats were lengthened into hours. "How long I remained thus, I cannut tell. When addedto my sense of personal security. I had not seen my friend for many years ; he having lived in a different part of the | ampive, and, we consequently had 'many able remini to recall, and pleasant associations to talk over. He was | accompanied by his wife, whom he had | lately married,and who secmed very happy and proud of him. " Now I had known this man very inti- mately in former years; we had been at | school together ; we had played together, | and, so far as I had ever heard, he had been always upright, honest and honcr- able in his character; he had even. been {like a brother to me, and the years of | separation, that had gone by,only had en- | deared the old 'memories-of our friendship for each other only seemed strengthened by the unexpected renewal of our_acquaint- ance. \ "" His wife was a lovely little ereatare, she seemed in every way worthy of him. She was young, timid and shy, yet her diffidence was so childlike and unassum- ing that it added rather than detracted from her loveliness and beauty. I con- gratulated my; friend many times on the singular good fortune that had enabled him to obtain so charming a wife, and his actions earnestly bespcke his satisfaction at my good opinion of her. " At first 1 thought I would say nothing to him ning the di ds in my possession, remembering the parting in- structions of my employer, but proud of the confidence reposed in me, I at last foolishly told him all about the di d my scattered senses came slowly 'drifting back to me, my head throbbed with a dull heavy pain ; my body was moist with a cold clammy perspiration ; I felt weak and exhausted, and it was many minutes be- fore I could fully understand what had happened. My first impulse was to feel for the casket, which I had placed under my pillow. It was gone / "yl g ge oft 4 ay. my emo- tions at that moment I was lost, ruined ; no excuse I could invent would free me from the shadow of suspicion. 1 cursed myself for assuming so great a responsibi- lity ; bitterly lamenting the foolish vanity that had prompted me to reveal my | secret, : ort "The light was brightly burning; I sprang out of bed, and hurriedly glanced about me. The door leading into the apartments of my fiiend, was securely fastened, the one opening without into the hall, was partially adjar. "Had I been dreaming! Were my friends guilty of this great crinie ? and had they thus sought to turn suspicion from them by tampering with the door! What proof had I that they had entered my room! What possible clue had 1 of their guilt! These thoughts flashed through my mind, with the rapidity of light. fo "Once more I returned to my bed ; I pulled down the coverlid ; I removed the . "Suddenly my eyes caught the gleam of a woman's ear-ring. I snatched it up ex- citedly. It was hers. She had worn i# the day bef: It had b unfast of their great value and how and where I carried them. I noticed at the time, the significent exprestions interchanged be- tween himself and his wife, yet 1 mistook their real character for mere pleasantry. 1 understood what they meant after wards. * At last we arrived at Vienna, to me it was u great rglief, on the morrow 1 would deliver the diamonds and my great anxiety about them would be ended. It was night- fall when we came to the grand hotel where our company proposed stopping. We engaged pleasant rooms adjoining each other, and looked forward to a very plea: | sant and enjoyable sojourn in the city we were visiting. "I passed the evening in company with my friends. I would not go out, Hor run any risk about the diamonds. So I stayed in my room. A wide door connected it with the apartments of my friend and his wife which we threw open until the hour came for retiring. "I had never seen my friend more live- ly in conversation, nor his young and pretty wife more witty and attractive, they | ™3™ bade me good-night with many pleasant wishes, and, I, after making sure that my doors were all securely fastened, undress ed, and after placing the casket of dia- monds tinder my pillow, I retired. '" As 1 was very tired, I soon fell asleep, strange fancies and forms seemed present- ed to me ia my slumber. The at h and had fallen there while she bent over me. I wanted no further clue to settle her guilt in my own nfind. '" What course should I pursue? It would not do to let my friend know that I suspested him. I must disharm him of all , and ge in some way lo ry outwit him, ; "I rushed to the door that opened into his room, and, aftér much loud knocking, succeeded in arousing him. He professed the greatest astonishment, and the woman the greatest alarm, and were immediately loud in their expressions of sympathy. We dressed ourselves and sat down to con- sider what was best to be done in order te recover the gems. ' Ah, my friend,' said the woman, ' It is too bad, too bad. It must have been some professional thief, soe how easily he effected an entrance, and with what dex- terity he opened your door.' * " Yes," I returned; * there is mot so much és & mark on the door. [am un- done, lost, ruined ; what shall Ido I' i agian Nout 1 eres id te 'go to the police, the dectectives will work up the case for you.' "I looked the woman squarely in the face, she quailed and bent Hef eyes upon the floor. One of her earings was missing. The mate to the one I had found in my room, was still dangling in her ear. *' And so we sat and planned and talked until g came. My friend had pro- Ld of my room scemed to have an unearthly luminous giow. I started up in sudden alarm and looking out through the bed- curtains, I saw an odd looking old man sitting in an arm-chair warming himself before a brightly blazing fire.

Yet as I became more fully awake his form seemed to pass into shadowy outlines and finally disappeared altogether and I saw that | had been dreaming, "J know not why, I codld not banish- from my mind a strange presentment that some sudden and unexpected misfortune was about to hefall me, I grew nervous snd uneasy, 1 toesed restlessly to and fro, upon my pillow, wishing and longing for posed a dozen ways, in which I might it was fairly daylight we for the office of the Prefect of police: We found one of the chief officers there, td whom we stated the case, my friend doing most of the talking.

The officer took the letter, and folding it, despatched it at once to the hotel by a special nves- senger, who found the lady anxiously awaiting her husband's return. She swooned quite away upon reading the note the man had brought her, but soon re- covering, she took the casket from & rmall drawer where she had scereted it, and handed it to the messenger, who imme- diately returned with his precious parcel the office of his superior. ¢onfessicn. He had been temted, he said, terribly tempted by the great value of the gems phat lay within his grasp. His gay and giddy young wife, who was not exactly what she ought to have been, had urged him on to the commission of the crime,as- suring him that no shadow of suspicion would ever rest upon him, and that the prize before him would place them both beyond the possibility of any future wani. He had thought of it and dreamed of it; he had put it off until the last hour, and then had yielded to the irresistible temp- tation, " Hig poor wife came in shortly after ; she was wild with grief st the misfortims | that had | aken them. It was an affec- | ing sightto see that young couple, now so degraded, who had seemed so full of hope and happiness on the day before.
