real gentleman, whose only fault was for
getfulness. So again he waited until past
the small hours of the night. AT early
morning the landlord again returned and
he also began to think the case suspicious.
The jeweler was furious. He made dash
at the drawers, and, with the aid of poker,
broke open the flap. His next move was
to take the casket. He thrust his head
into the compartment, and sank back into
the arm chair. He saw before him moth

set of drawers in the next room. The land
lord did likewise, and so did the walters.

CHAPTER ii.

l think l have forgotten to say that l
was going to spend the Christmas with a
college friend. He had gone down few
days before, and had promised to meet me
at c. station.
You may imagine that l was not sorry
to find myself arrived there, nor yet to see
my friend Tom stamping his feet on the
platform, no doubt thoroughly tired of
waiting for the train. AS he drove me up,
he began talking of the different arrange
ments he had made for our mutual amuse-
ment. "To morrow" he said, give set
aside for skating party; have had the
pond in the park swept, and invited all
les .jeunes demoiselles within reach, and
as they have all accepted, it will give you
a very fair idea Of our native beauty"
Now, of all jolly things in the world,
says that am fond of showing my skating
off; but deny that this has anything to do
with it. In the first place. the frosty
weather and the mulled clareti induce high
