FOUR CHAPTERS or A WHITE LIE.
CHAPTER I

CHAPTER I.
How unfortunate! Mamma writes me
that she can not find her emerald bracelet.
Now don't dare to tell her that | have
lost it, as you remember did returning
from Mrs, Iacy's party. 1t is the last gift
of my father, and very valuable. I'm sure
don't know what to do" And Lena At
ley threw the letter impaticntIy down.
"lt's we'll you are here in New York, "
replied her queenly cousin, shaking the
heavy curls from her shoulders, as she look
ed up unwllingly from her book" what
does aunt say?'
"She wishes to know if by mistake |
could have brought it on, orif | remember
when ! last saw it, and where ?"
Easily answered, little simplcton. Just
tell, in general way, that you wonder at
her for thinking you so careless as to bring
it on here and say that before you went to
the party, you saw it fastened to the toilet
cushion in her room-yOu know you dressed
there
{" But won't that be a falschood, almost ?"
urged Lena, timidly.
"A iiddlesticl, you little puritan; where s
the lie You have not brought it to New
York, have you? You did SEQ il on your
mo Tiers toilet table, didn't you? You
must learn to distinguish between q pru-
dent way Of getting over matter and a
sheer falsehood, you little country bit of
perfection"
Lena seemed satisfed-she could not
brook the sneer of her beautiful cousin
nor could she bear the term puritanical
which her fashionable New York relative
styled her acts of conscience. The letter
was written, sealed and sent but that
night, in the midst of splendid throngs,
Lena's heart beat with shame for the deed
at which conscience rebelled.

Mary turned pale she was extremely
timid and the thought that she might be

When she answered her voice trembled.
Indeed, ma am, don't think I've seen it

But, Mary" and her voice grew stern

"That is the coolest impudence | have

given you had you been candid and told
the truth. But the charge you make against
my daughtcr-the soul OF candor itself

With cheek MS white rs any corpse and
avid light in her glazed eyes, Mary tot
tered from the room, felt her way along
the entry, flor darkness seemed TO have
fallen upon hcr) up tho stairs, into her own
little chamber. There falling hoadlong on
the floor she lay in silent, bitter agony.
Her spirit was almost broken. Where
now were all her happy dreams! Dashed,
like n temple by some strong wind-thcir
ruins chokcd up her heart. The long sunny
road was darktnod. The little cottage with
its honcysuclles, it's garden, its fruit trees,
struck by pitiess lightning. The priest
and the altar, the manly form of William,
with his honest dark cycs--shut from her
guilcless thought by the cloud Of doubt
of horrid ACQUISITION. Visions Of officers
and jails, and witnesses, and disgrace, float
ed before her.
For a long timo she lay there but at
length slowly rising, her brain beating with
