A few years ago young man named
Lee TraffOrd opened a jewelers. shop in
a fashionable street in the West End of
London. That is to say, his name was
not Lee TraffOrd, but. as this is true
story, very naturally disguise him.
Trafford's fathers reverSes of fortune,
with heavy losses on the stock exchange,
caused him to be apprenticed to jew
eler, and in course of time he became an
expert in gems. His business pros
pered. He was handsome young man,
and his politeness and pleasant man
ners captivated the ladies. who were
his stancheSt patrons. His capital not
being large his stock was not heavy
one, but mercantile friends entrusted him
with Jewels to sell on commission. 50 he
was enabled to compete in attractive
display with his more wealthy rivals i'll
trade. In addition his love affairs pros
pered. He was sincerely attached TO a
young lady named GottO, by whom his
affection was returned.

One day dashing eQuipage rolled up
to the door of Trafford's shop and two
ladies alighted. One was the wife of a
wealthy peer and the other lady of
fashion, whose husband was banker.
They examined many articles. tried
on rings, bracelets, brooches, and sent

in quest OF articles TO various parts of
his establishment. After quite half-an-
hours inspection the ladies departed,
the peeress making a trifling purchase,
which she desired to be sent to her
house with the bill. The jeWeler saw
them to their carriage. which courtesy
was the work of a moment. and re-
entered the shop. On arranging the
jewels in their various eases lie missed
a necklace of diamonds of great value
which he had exhibited to his visitors,
and which they had regarded with adj
miration. This necklace belonged to a
merchant. to whom it had been COLI
signed from Amsterdam. and he had
cOnfded it to his friend TraffOrd to dis
pOse-Of.

There were yet two persons whom he
was most anxious, yet most dreaded to
encounter. These were the lady to
whom he was attached and her father.
Mr.. Gotto was retired merchant, and
had high notions of his daughters fut-
ure position. He was therefore averse
to the match. The first hint of storm
occurred when the young jeweler called
at the house and was Informed that Mr..
and Miss GottO were mot at hOme.p

solved TO seek an interview the next
morning. Then he was fortunate

Nelly murmured a disclaimer. Her
father. she said, had not asked to
abandon her attachment, but she
ha dpromised-what she could not
refuse an indulgent parent-that, as
there were rumOrs affecting Mr..
Trafford's character, as well as a
possibility of his complete ruin, she
would postpone further intimacy for sig
months to allow of matters being
cleared up.
And what are these rumors affecting
my character"
Let me answer that question:" said
Mr.. Gotto, entering the apartment

Trafford could not deny having held
conversation with protested gambler
in disreputable club, though in vain
urging the plea that he had been there
only once. His excuse was certainly
reasonable, as Mr.. Gotto admitted,
yet his appearance at such a place
about the same time of the loss of the
diamonds was a suggestive coincidence.
He was also forced to confess insolvency
if the jewels weIs not forthcoming, and
whether recovered or not, his business
was in measure ruined. Had he even

II was not long before the man who
had suffered such series of misfor-
tunes was installed in comfortable
home. He sought the merchant who
had confided the necklace to his care,
but he had died leaving no heiiS, so that
the ieweler retained $4,000 intact. His
next care was to look up the GOttos, as
he knew Nelly was now in England,
