the empty glass down upon the table with a
crash.
sWell,' said Jude, cody pooketing the
money, chat part of the business is settled
what comes next?'
sJude,' said Milton, after few moments
silence, 'would it not excite suspicion against
US, if we remove old LOOP 20,
mo one will suspect you, Milton, if you
will consent to adopt plan which I will
suggest
Name it, said Milton.
sAfter Loo has been removed, just 60 up
stairs; and, after seating yourself beside D.
Wilton, swallow portion of drugged wine.
why should do SO; and what will be
accomplished by it p asked Milton.
well, when the physicians come 10 the
morning, and finds you all under the inAu-
ence of a narcotic; when they discover that
old Loo has been removed, and I nowhere
to be found-of course they vii! charge it
all to me, and you will never be suspected
But that will involve you in a serious
difficulty said Milton, startled at the bold
daring of his accomplice. -rr
sNever fear about me- said Jude. What
do you want me to do with the boy that you
have sent homer
Nothing just now,' replied Milton. Il
wish to ask him some questions relative to a
bracelet.
"A bracelet?'
yes, D'Vilton asserts, that he put a
bracelet upon the ankle of the infant when
it was placed in the basket. The absence of
that bracelet may serve to frustrate my plans
altogether
Then it is plain said Jude, 'that whoev-
er took the infant from where [ placed it,
must be in possession Of the bracelet. I
think, that the papers which are in your pos
session will 60 far to prove that this boy
placing his hand upon Julius-'is the legi-
innate heir; but if We do not endeavor to
obtain the missing bracelet, we do not know
but what it may bring that other lad into
notice one of these days, and prove him to
be-as I feel assured he is-the son and
heir of Edward D'Vilton.'
In all probability said Milton, the per-
son who found the basket has sold the brace
let long ago-it is that which gives me SO
much uneasiness.'
q. Il am sure, said Jude, 'that it will be far
better for the success of your plans that such
really be the case; for, if the thing has been
sold it is out of the way, buff the lad can
prove that it was upon his right ankle when
he was an infant, and actually produces the
bracelet, that, together with his striking re-
semblance to D'Vilton will knock yourplans
into nothing
I'VE must obtain it if possible said Mil
ton.
'All, that you have to do, is to question
the boy about the matter; find out where
he has been living, and all that sort of thing;
and, if the bracelet can be obtained, prom
ise to get it for you. Before you make any
move in that direction, however, it may be
as we'll to get up some tale relative to the
missing bracelet, tending to satisfy DVil-
ton
The difficulty is,' said Milton, Il have
already expressed to D'Vilton my utter ig-
norance as to the whereabouts or existence
of such q bracelet
F.ool-likeH said Jude.
But, jude said Milton, 'the question
came upon me so unawares, that / could not
help manifesting surprise, and even alarm. ,
well, well; leave this matter to me,
said Jude, somewhat impatiently; 'and I
will adjust it,
BY the way, jude said Milton, 'what is
to be done with poor Barney, whom we left
at MayesvilleT
sWrite to Tom Gould at once, and instruct
him to give up Barney to the authorities,
replied Jude.
Heavens have you no hearth said
Milton.
Heart be id p replied Jude. what
have you and to do with such thing =
what does it tbeue6tauy man to have heart =
But the poor fellow has done no harm,
Jude; nor do I see how his Imprisonment
could rebound to our benefit
sOur benefit y said Jude, sneeringly; Il
don't care straw whether hebe imprisoned
or not it makes not the slightest difference
to me whether old Loo lives or dies; and
durn me if Icare the snap of child's fin
ger whether your bastard boy, or the legiti-
mate son of D'Vilton wins the day! All
am about to do is for your benefit am
only interested because I expect to make
money out of you; so you can either take
my advice or not
The devil take thee, for thine unblushing
impudence! said Milton. Il suppose that
you would betray me too, for good sum Of
money
WELL said Jude, re-lighting his pipe,
Il don't know, Claude Milton, but what I
would do that very thing, after I had made
all that I could out of you
.Incarnate devil = exclaimed Milton, start
ing to his feet.
Don't allow my remarks to frighten you,
said Jude; 'for expect several thousand
pounds out of your Golfers before I will even
dream of bringing to justice the cold blood
ed murderer of Charlotte D'Vilton, and poor
Flora Dixon -.
