Very well, since I cannot make you confess, perhaps Mr. Archibald can. The haughty even tones of Mrs. St. Aylmer had not varied in the least; and now only a more intensi. fied gleam in her eyes betrayed the anger sho was too proud to acknow- ledge. With a graceful little ges- ture, sho pulled the silken tassel that swung idly beside her, watch- ing the girl closely all the while. ¢ Don't--pleaso don't, Mrs. St. Aylmer! Please don't call Arch-- Mr. Archibald!' That unlucky slip of her tongue did not escape the lady's attention, she turned like a tigress upon Bes- sie. 'What!

You, a miserable charity child, who Las betrayed the kindness of ten years by robbing me of my diamonds !--You are a well principied young woman, I really think I' Her clear, ringing tones, so cut- ting in their sarcasm, lent a deeper glow to Bessie's check than her thoughtless words had called up.-- For a moment she did not speak. Then she raised her face--not a pretty} face at all, nor a face that one man in a thousand would have looked at the second time--a thin, sharp-featured countenance, lighted by a pair of elfin brown eyes, shad- ed by tangled hair, beautiful only by a small red mouth, enclosing white, perfect teeth.

' Bessie, child, tell me. Did you take the jewels? Answer me in God's truth. Look at me, child!' 'Archibald St. Aylmer was twen- ty seven, and he never dreamed that his mother's little dependant was aught more than a foolish child, ready fora game of romps or a doll, but now she lifted her eyes-- those deep wells of woman's love--and met his earnest, sorrowful glance.-- Perhaps her gaze confirmed his mother's words ; perhaps a revela- tion lay in those amber brown depths. = At any rate, Archibald St. Aylmer felt a strange thrill quiver over him, and he knew that his face glowed as he turned away from her. Hor clear voico followed after her cyes. Mr. St. Aylmer, I never so much us saw the diamonds since the first night your mother wore them.-- I did not know they were gone till she accused me of stealing them.' A scornful smile wreathed Mrs. St. Aylmer's lips. 'Suppose you keep on, Miss Brown, and inform us if the other charge be true?' > «Mother !' and Mr. Sf. Aylmer spoke sternly; but Bessie, with glowing cheeks and misty eyes, stepped proudly forward. «I am not ashamed to confess it. [ am going away, Mr. St. Aylmer, and yowll never sce me or hear of me again. I'm nobody but a poor unknown orphan your mother re ceived through charity, and treated as a sort of confidential dependent; and therefore it's a shame for any one to think or care ab me. But I am a woman, Mr. St. Aylmer,' as her voice grew tenderly low and musical ; "and I have learned to love you, I can't help it. You'll forgive me, and forget my folly. But I'll never forg you, fi with all my heart, all my strength, all my life. TI, poor Bessie Drown, your mother's humble dependent.'
