"Yellowish, I thlnk, air ; but it we.a that pretty I " Suddenly George pushed b i ck his sleeve and untwisted the long waving tress of Floss's hair ; he shook it out before the man's eyes. "Wa111t like this 1" he exclaimed. "Yes siir, t hat's it," replied the man "I couldn't describe 1t ; but I could awoar to it. l never saw such hair as that before or since. " "You have done me a great service, my man I " George said. "Don't be afraid for her pretty face ; I shall not repeat what you have told me to any one. Nor do you ; don't let your tongue be as loose agatn as it has been thi2 morning " I don't know what's ma.de me talk, sir , returned the man; "it was eomethmg in your face. You didn't look like one to hurt anybody." "Nor will I," sa.td George, with a sigh ; you have done me a. geod turn, and I bhank y(Ju for it. " "Thank you, eir," answered the lamp· light er, and, touching his hat, he went on about his busmess. It was quite t ime, for every moment the lamp3 looked mere absurd and out of place as the dayllght grew broader. When he was out of sight, George turned away into the Park and walked at a great pace until he reached the Serpentine. Then he fom>d a heavy atone, and twisted and knotted the hair round it very firmly; he hardly knew what he was doing-these twistings a.nd knottings were half unconscious. His mind was away-he 11aw before his eyes the lovely head from which this golden t ress had been cut-the glorious smile Floss had given hlm such a short t ime ago ! He took the stone at fa3t and flung it away mto the water, and watched its d1sappearnnce, and watched the ring die a way on the water where i t had gone down. "There goes my heart," he said to himself. "I awear I will never agam believe in any woman I If Floss is false, it is not worth while for any other woman to be true." He turned away and Wl!-!ked back through the Park, but slowly, with a. step as though he wtr~ tired. And so he was, though not from being QUt at night. He was weary because his heart was sick. Nothing can make the step so lagging as a. dead hope within the breast, And t o George it se_emed as if all hope, all JOY, were dead for him for ever. When he reached his rooms, he experienced a sensation of being utterly worn out-a feeling quite new to lum. Since yesterday he had gone through such various emotions that it seemed to him as if the night had been a. century long. Since yeater:lay he had lost forever the woman he loved. For, even if he married Floss-and he very well remembered what he had said to her-yet it would not be the Floss he loved. The past was dead, the future a blank, even if the beauty he had adored b ecame his ; for h e could never regard it l:li\Ve as a shameless mask for a hideous soul. He wae greatly perplexed how to act. He knew he must screen Floss from any further consequences of her guilt ; he fel t too that he must conceal from Heatherbloom, fr0m every one, the evidence which had convinced him ol that guilt But h :>w to do this he hardly knew; for George was no actor. He thought bitterly to himi;elf tha.t he needed a lesson from P loss. Nevert heless ib muat be done. But he felt altogether incapable of going through any pretence with Floss ; he could not m1mlc the love she had killed In his heart. The day for love-making_ was over ; the only course t hat h e could see open to h1m was t o tell Beatherbloom he intended to marry Ftoss a s soon a! she came of age, and llimply wait then till that time arrived. Consoling himself with this refteetiGn, he sat down i mmediately after breakfast, and wrote a brief note to Lord Heather· bloom, stating hJ.S intention with rega1·d to Floss. Then he told his man to pack his portman t eau. He did not care where he went ; but he longed for change, for movement, that he might escape from tne nightmare m which he seemed to have become plunged. But it wa.s not so easy to escape. .A servant came to his rooms. bringing an answer from L,.,rd Heatherbloom; it was but a single lme, ask ing to see him as ~oon as possible, CHAPf.lm YI. Very reluctantly George prepared to go and see his brother. R11.ther than go t<· the house which held Floss he would have asked L ord Hea.the1bloom to come to him ; but he could not think of any reason togivefor thie, and hewn.a nPrvously afraid of betraying his change o'f feeling towards Floss. Altogether he felt any· thing but fitted for a difficult interview ; u.ni he could only hope and pray that Heatherblo<.>m had really got nothing part icular t o eay to him. This hope, however, was a delusive one. George's hearb sank within him when he found L ora Reatherbloom was so eager to see him that he could not wait, but th11 momer.t he heard his familiar knock hurried out into the hall to meet him. "Come to my study, George I" checking his brother in a tendency to go t owards L ady Heat herbloom's morningroom. " Is Cordelia, in 7 " aaid George, feeling conscious of his cowardice. 1 want to say 5ood-bye to h er , as I am g:iing away for a time. London is so awftilly hot." " Nonsense I Yon ca11't go away just n ow," declared L ord Heather bloom very decidedly. " Come i n here and listen t o what I have to say." L )d li~atherbloom took him into lna study and shat the door. "I behave we shall clear Floss I " he excla1med, triumphantly. "Then thre'l! be no need to wait till she comes of age for the marriage. I won't stand m the way of her happiness an h our whrn once I ha1·e cleared her ; and I believe I can I " "Do you'l" said George, trymg to put a great deal of eagerness into l 1s tont.i. He was consc10us the result was a lame ntable failure. But Lord Heatherbloom did not observe it. His mind was completely taken up wit;h what he had himself to say. You remember t~at it was principally Riddell s evidence which condemned Floss; well, I am going to say a thing which sounds extraordinary about an old and valued servant. I begin to think Riddell henelf took tue diamonds, and very cleverly threw the suspicion on Floss." " Ah I " wa· all George's comment; could Lord Heatherbloom have understood, it meant-" You're on that old track, are you 1 That 's a. worn-out path." Lord Heatherblooom did not understand. N everthele.1:!11 he was puzzled by the dry tone in which the ejaculauion was uttered. " You think it very improba.ble 1" he said. "So did I at first-not only Improbable, but impossible. Yet, after all, it is easier to believe it of old Ridiell than of Floss. " " One would say so indeed ! " said George, by a great effort, speaking with tolerable naturalness. His heart was heavy as itoad at th~ thought of how short a. time a.go he would have agreed vohem· ently to this. "Mills came to me a aay or two ago here m the study, and began by burstmg mto tears I saw she had worked herself up to saying something, so I waited to hear what it was. .At last it came out. Certainly it did not amount tovery much; but it put me on t he track. She said Riddell had been talking down-stairs about a fortune that h!!.d been left to her, and that she meant to leave our service. Mills thought I ought to know this, and also the fact that Riddell was the only other servaut in the house who knew of tha place where the key of the jewel-case is kept. Well, I applauded Milla for telling me anything tha.t came to her knowledge ; but I did not think much of her information. Soon afterwards, how· ever, Riddell herself came to me and told me the same story-that she had had a small fortune left to her, and that she proposed to take a holiday for the rest of her natural life. I thought I might ven· ture t o ask who left her tne fortune. She hesitated, and seemed not to wish to answer; 20, to help hcl', I hs,zardod the remark that I had always understood she had no relatives alive except an aunt who was poorer than herself. 'Quite true, my lord,' said R1ddell ; and positively the old woman blushed, which I should have thought was a physical impossibility' t rue,' she said ; 'and indeed I thought so myself.' Then she turned still redder ; evidently ~he thought she had made a mistake. She closed her lips after that, and would not say another word. I tried all I could to get something more out of her ; but no, she had made up her min d to let out nothing else. I got Cordelia to question her ; but she sald she might li\s well question a stone. Now I am going to have the police in." Geor ge was standing with his back to him, looking out of the window. "Don't do that," he said, without turn - after a moment's pause " ·w hy is it that the suspicion m thu affair sh1fta from on~. U1nhk1>ly p >0rson to a., ot her 1" Im sure l don t know.

Ute llt1ll!en Coins, ing. "Notdoit! Andwh}"~ Oncegrantthat Riddell did the thmg herself, it's very easy to account for most of the circumstances that went 110 against Floss. Riddell put the rose into the safe ; R1dltell put the mom·y on Floss's desk. .As to the story of ]'Joss been seen leaving the house that night, it all falls to the gronnd. Riddell made it up. How she could have the face to tell it me as she did I can't imagine-a woman that's borne a character for uprightness and honesty all her life ! Sht.i must be a consumate hypocrite." " 1 don't think she is," answered Geor!!e qmetly, turning round, "and I don't think she d id it." "Oh, indeed I" said Lord Heatherbloom, somewhat nettled at last by solli e thing he could not uuderstand in George's manner. Perhaps you prefer to thmk that Floss did it then~" "No, no ! " answe1·e:i George, for a momeut haidly kn owing how to reply. 'l'hen he added-" Bub I don't lik e the idea of puttmg the police on to Mrs. R iddell. She has had a charact.er in this house good enough to weigh against such a suspicion as this. " Heaven bless my soul, George I " exclaimed Lord Heatherbloom, m unmixed astonishme ut. ·· The last time I saw you you were :i.ll the other way; you'd have had the whole household of servants put into the dock at cn<..'l-l. I don't under· stand you. And you look queer, as if you'd been up all n ight." "So I have," said George, with a joyless laugh. "It's muddled yonr brains, then. It an do n o harm to R·ddell to have the thing thoroughly inviost1gated now ; if she gr>n her m ·.mey ho.1estly, it will come out all righb." " If she had got her fortune from the sale of the diamonds," ob~erved George, and were the liar that you give her cr edit for being, it seems to me that she would have prepared a story for you as t o who left her the money." "Oh, I don't know ! " said Lo·d Hea.therbloom. "It is a well-known fact that the greatest crimes have been discovered in consequence of some such little overa1ght. It is not ~o easy as it seems to frame a complete tissue of lies; it nearly always breaks down at some unimportant unthought point, which betrays the whole thing. I suspect it is so m this cr.se. Riddell probably never for a moment though~ that I should take the trouble to enqmre who left her t he money. Indeed I never should have done so but If for the idea t.hat wa:i in my mind. M ills had not made the suggestion to m~, I am sure I ahonld n ever have th ought of it. .And Riddell probably r elied on her kn owledge of my character; a nd she <Vas very correct." " This is h orrible ! " exclaimed George, Stuart Cumberland was recently tli.e hero of a strange scene enacted m the state prison at Warsaw, where two Russian workmen lay, charged with having first discovered and afterwards disposed of treasure hidden on the estate of M . Bartholdi, supposed, according to family tradition, t o have been buried during the troublesome times of 1831. Failing to elicit any information from the prisoners, the authorities ca.me to 1\'.Ir. Cumberland, who happened to be in vYa.raaw, for ae111st1nce iii tt1e matter. He r eplied that he was not a clairvoyant, and that he could not r ead what a m1.n did n ot wiah to tell, but that he was perfectly willlng to try his hand at readmg the prisoners' thoughts. At;icordingly, in company with the judge who had ~ried the prisoner and the English consul, he visited the prison. The prisoners were brought into the governor's priva.te room. M r. Cumberland took out of his pocket some coins, saying that they represent ed a port10n of the money dropped by the tlueves m their haste when moving t h e box contaimng the treasure, adding t h at no matter where the pr iR oners hid the money he coul<l find it. The t wo m en received this with dogged defiance , Fu ll en ly entering into the experiment. M r Cumberland wrapped up the pieces of money in paper, ask ing tha.1J one of t h e prisoners should, with the knowledge of his companion, hide the same during hfo absence from the room. This was done, and Mr. Cumberland, returning blindfolded, took the confederate by the hand, and in a moment went to an old-faslnoned Ruesian stove which st ood in a corner of the room, nns rewed the door, and from among the ashes, unearthed tho co1Us. The subject waa so deeply impressed at this success th&t he went down dn his knees and confessed to having been present when the money was found, s9ying that his companion harl got up in t he night and removed it on his own account, and tha t d id he but lrnoj\' where it the11 was Mr. Cumberland must certainly dis. covet its whereabouts. Thia t he m::m did not deny, decltnmg, how~ver, to have his thoughts read. Should the actual thwf confide his secret to his companion - who is an emotional individual-there is but little doubt, after this experiment, of .Mr. Cumberland's success with h im The treasure, a~cording to traditio.1, is estimate l to be worth from 150,000 t o 200,000 roubles, <Jut of which Mr. C um berland is to rP.ce1 ve a quarter if it is discovered through his agency.
