Matket, éyoung man fresh from college, in winter of a year now too remote to Lightly recalled, I obtained the ap- 'tment of schoolmaster to the parish 'Bitburrock, an office which I have i' tained for near five and forty ... On my first arrival at Bit- ock, which is a scattered hamlet on .ie the Fifeshire coast, I discovered that some desirable repairs would post- pone my occupation of the school- house for some weeks. Accordingly, I took up lodgement in atavern, kept by one )IaeKinley, the Only convenient zlonse of entertainment in the neigh- lbourhood. This arrangement was not greatly to my mind. The tavern’was a mare but-andâ€"ben, situate on the high- road in a plot of ground crrcumscribed by a paling on tarred stakes. A pent- house which served as a byte, and a midden heap at the foot of the kail- yard, rendered the exterior unfriendly to the senses. N or was I more favourably affected by the hospitality Within. My landlord was a surly stoven, never absolutely inebriate, but for_ever tippling.

See to my nag, my man,” a voice replied in an English accent; and a dapper little fellow came swaggering into the kitchen. . He removed his cloak as he approached the fire, and began to kick off his dripping riding boots, swearing profanely at the weather. Just then his eye caught mine and he made me a bow, exclaiming. “Pardon me, sir; I trust my observation did no offence to your cloth. By the mass the apparition of a divine is more alarming than that of Mephisto himself, in a moment of imprecation !” “ It is an ill habit, sir," I said ; “but you are at fault in supposing me to be of the ministry, though (as I pine) my profession is scarce less sacred." “ Ah, I take you. Now I smoke the Domime; and what worthier employ- men ‘2 Am I not right ’3" “ Why, yes,” said I, somewhat amused. “ I knew it, I seldom missthe mark,” said he with complacence that was highly comical. “ But here comes mine host with supperâ€"and a poor one, 1 warrant.” Desplte his protests, he gave a good account of the platter and of a. bottle of wine (which he declared unfit for a. gentleman); and grew a trifle prolix over our outlandish country, as he called it. ' “ You wzll not be travelling in such a. barbarous locality for pleasure?” I ventured to remark. 7“Arhv! you say for pleasure? that would be telling.

See how I am situate. What I hinted at last night was not precisely the fact, tnougl‘. no great evasion. I am in the employ of a London ;firm of jewellers. I was sent hither on an errand of extreme deli- cacy. A lady of birth in this neighbor- hood lately negotiated with our Edinburgh agent for the sale of a diamond necklet of great value. The Whole affair was to be carried on with 1 the utmost secrecy, and a counterfeit in ‘paste’ forwarded to her ladyship at the earliest opportunity. This was the necklet which you beheld last night, and which I placed under my pillow when I retired, somewhat overtaken, I confess, by the disgusting wine I had drunk. I was startled from my ; slumbers by the shutting of my cham- ber door. I felt for the casket, and, finding it gone, ran into this room, where I discovered MacKinley, and grappled with him; but he must have had time to secret the jewels. Now, you see, if I apply to a magistrate the matter becomes patent, and I hazard my situation. A most confounded fix l” I listened with patience to this lengthy exposition, and replied that we must make another appeal to MacKm- ley, and, if that failed search the house. But neither threats of punishment nor promises of immunity could move the landlord to further response than that he “kent naething of the flegerries, whether false or no.” Our search was equally unavailing, and we soon sank down by the cold hearth in desPair. The morning was chilly, and my garments of the scantiest, nor did I dare to leave the disp‘utants together while I sought to clothe my pers0n more decorously. I invited MacKinley to set up the fire, but, as he declined, I undertoak the task myself and soon had the flames up the chimney. I was yet dusting my hands, when MacKinley gave vent to the most astonishing cachingnationâ€" the more alarming as the sudden access of laughter Induced a violent attazk of the hiccough which rendered him almost ‘ speechless. -. x 1 I ,- 4.

Noo’ seeing that ye had nae mind 0’ the matter, but had guan to your bed wi’ a considerable drap in your e'e no to say awfu’ fu’, thocht I to mysel’, I imaun e'en mak’ shiftâ€"â€"â€"" “Have done with this," cried the nanncnmm- “and 1e11 me at once “Have done with this," cried Englishman; “and 1e11 me at where you have hid my property." â€"â€"A “How should I ken when ye were dinging me like ane gone gyte ? There’s sma’ sense in being sae whippert wi’ a. body. I was that fleed, it‘s only come back to me the noo whaur I pit it. And whaur should I, but whaur nano would think 0' seeking? In the ingle, to be sure; and that daft man the Dominic's kin'led the fire.” Next moment the stranger was kick-1 ing the firebrands right and left (to the great prejudice of my garments and integument.) Sure enough in the ample heap of ashes lay the charred remains of the casket. We managed to rake them forth and found the neck- let uninjured in the midst, the silicious material of which it was composed having resisted the temperature of the fire. “1C. The Englishman could not retain hunself from capering with delight, though wringmg his scorched hands at the same time. “I trust, sir’ ’said I, addressing him, “that this will be a. warning to you “ I trust, sir,” sand 1, aauresswg uuu, “that this will be a. warning to you against the idle vantiy which caused; you to diverge so mischievously from the truth last night." :He made no reply but began to blow on his fingers. So I turned to MacKin- leyâ€" “ As for you, MacKinleyâ€"-â€"â€" “Never fash yoursel’ about me, Dominie. Sakes, but I wonder at ye standing there haivenng sic moralities in your nicht sark !” 77 7 an.
