scented itself, a suspicion too horrible.
1t made the suspense almost too terrible. I
heard the policemen arrive, and while they
were ascending the stairs to the spare bedroom
/ felt almost choked with an apprehension for
what | should next hear. The door was
unlocked, and there was the thief. He made
no resistance; the game was up. Thanks to
sthe old woman, - as I heard him style me, he
had missed the best chance Of clearing a fort
une he had ever had.
Who was he? Where had I seen hint
The mystery was soon explained. He was
the Dasent's magnificent head butler-one of
q gang, as 1t afterwards was discovered-and
who had, will the CO r~nivance of his comrades,
cleared off the plate, but hoped to secure for
his own private benefit the famous diamonds.
The fire had so far upset the r plans that he
had found himself left in possession of the
diamonds when his services came to be re-
quired in aiding to e%Itinguish the fire. In
place OF figh-, therefore, as he had at first
intended, The wary butler judged 1t best to let
his confederates make OFF with the plate while
he remained with the diamonds in his posses
sion, one Of the most active in subduing the
flames, and suggesting the most feasible
schemes for discovering the thieves.
When the detectives came down to Enfield
it became imperative upon him to hit upon
some safe place for the diamonds. Mr..
Mauleverer was blessed with an over
abundant wardrobe, and, during his visit to
Enfield, this butlerhad chosen to consider him
under his particular care, laying out his
clothes, arranging ana setting Things Eener-
ally for him. The idea of temporarily depos-
iting the precious gems within the lining of
one OF that gentleman's portmanteaus struck
him as a brilliant one. His intention, of course,
was to withdraw them directly. Mr.. Maulever,
er's departure was about to take place, and he
would, of course, have the best opportunity of
doing so while packing his clothes; but his
plan, by a mere chance, miscarried, and he
had the modification Of seeing the portmantean
leave Enfield with the diamonds still safely
secreted within it.
Mr.. Mauleverer's temporary absence from
our house afforded too good an opportunity
to be missed; hence the visit to the Wre rs
Nest, which very nearly terminated my exist
ence, for the shock and exposure combined
brought on an illness from which, for long, it
was not expected I should recover.
Amy was M tender nurse all through 1t,
and it was from her lips 1 heard all the par
%ticulars Of the robbery, in the sequel to which
l had been called on to play 50 prominent a
part,
Happily for both our sakes, she never knew

abled TO bid him a cheerful good by on the
strength of his speedy return. On the morn
ing of the second day after he had taken his
departure Amy was evidently expecting a let
ter from m-no un~reasonably, I thought,
as it was natural she should wish to hear that
he had reachei his destination safely. She
was rather restless and fdgety. Perhaps that
was the cause OF my own almost nervous feel
ings as posttime approached. / could settle
down to nothing.
'Amy, darling" I said presently, Suppose
you take the gardeu-scissors and snip these
geraniums for me; they want 1t badly"
So Amy stepped out on to the little lawn
with its still brightly filled parterres, and 1
watched her from the d~rawiDg-room window
witt feelings of mingled love, anxiety and ap-
prehension, for, do what l might, I could not
over the sense of some impending calamity
something sorrowful for her. Soon afterward
she Joined me, radiant with her letter, the first
she had ever received from him; a very ardent,
gentlemanly epistle, l was obliged to own;
satisfactory, too, as it contained the iniorma-
ton that he had heard from his father, who,
on certain conditions, which he saw his way
to comply with, had promised to consent to
the marriage. A letter for me from old Mr..
Mauleverer had been enclosed in his letter to
his son. but the latter preferred delivering it
to me personally; consequently l would not
receive it until his return to US.
Amy had an engagement that afternoon to
visit the Dasents, who were now installed in a
small house they had at some distance from
Tie SOurl, Wnle the latter was being repaired.
She was to drive over, taking our small groom
with her, and | was not to expect her back
until after nine O'Clock at the earliest; SO l
was to spend a solitary evening. After she
left me l wrote a few letters; then 1 tried to
read, but my attention wandered. A slight
drowsiness came over me, and l suppose I fell
asleep. All at once l woke up with a con-
seriousness of some one standing just outside
the closed window. l was not generally
nervous, but l confess a thrill of fear shot
| thrOuph me than and for a fnnmant moo
almost too terrified to stir. The next instant
l got up, and simultaneously with my doing

controlled all outward symptoms Of alarm, or
consciousness OF what | had seen, and after a
few moments-to me each seemed an h rur-I
moved toward the door and one of
my servants. l mentioned the circumstance
to her and enjoined extra care hat night as
to our bolts and bars. Though we had neither
gold plate nor diamonds to attract thieves,
still there was enough silver to satisfy moder-
