rouse Mr. Riddles suspicious. Notwith-
standing his pretense of indifference to
Mrs. Montfort's charms. he had privately
sent to De la Bots. in the interim, and
found that the lady did reside at that
fashionable hair-dresser's, and on the first
floor he had done il. of course. in the in
terest of the firm. and in case she should
call again: but perhaps she would not
have been pleased had Messrs. Nation
and Boltby been made aware of this pre-
caution.
The locket that pleased her most was an
expensive one, perhaps too much so for
her friends purse, she said. II was very
foolish ofthat lady, but she had such a
complete reliance upon her (Mrs. Mont,
fort's( taste and Judgment that she had
placed the matter entirely in her hands.
It!was great responsibility. What did
Mr.. Riddel think ?
Mr.. Riddel's thoughts were always cut
and dried on such occasions. He expressed
his opinion that the locket selected by Mrs,
Montfort was certainly the most elegant
of all, and testified to the sagacity of the
lady who had such confidence in her good
taste. But as to the price, Mrs. Montiort
herself was the only Judge as to the state
OF her friends exchequer.
'.Oh, she's rich enough smiled Mrs.
Montfort, land as open-handed as any
woman can be- Our sex are naturally in
clined to be a little close" she added with
smile, ''don't You think so ?"
Mr.. Rddel did not think so he had al
ways found ladies very generous in their
dealings; in this lady's particular case he
felt more certain than ever that the locket
and he let the light play on it so as to
show the brilliants to the best advantage
was the very thing to suit her.
Il think so too" murmured the widow !;
..but you see there's the responsibility !
tell you what you must do. You shall
send all the lockets to my lodgings for
an hour or so, and then my niece who is
staying with me, shall give her opinion on
the matter: and by her advice | will
abide"
Mr.. Riddel smiled, but shook his beau

there were thousands of them-expressed
polished but decided negative. I'VE
