MR. TEMPANY'S TEMPTATION.

MR Fodmork Tkmpany felt very much di«gusted when tho fair widow who had consented to share his name handed him a valuable bracelet in order that he might get a missing stone replaced. Ho was an elderly bnchelov of miserly proclivities, and did not half relish the commission, though be could not very well refuse. It had been the aim of his life to marry a wife with a fortune, and as Mrs Rramwcll Jay posessed this desirable qualification, ho was natur ally anxious to avoid ollcnding her. He therefore reluctantly took the brace let to Mr Bovls, the jeweller iv fcackvilo strcet, but finding the cost of replacing tlio niissini* atone would bo considerable, he could not summon up coinage to'give the order. Uo locked the brace ot up at lis ffiogs and fretted a good deal about the unnecessary expense the widow had put SK By tU'gVocs; however, he became cZeri forffippenod that Mrs Bramwcll Jay on itted to make any inquiry about her Si ty. As time slipped by. he began to Tiopo hat the lady had actually forgotten all about it-whicli, indeed, seemed to be |J IC case. Naturally Mr Tempany did no feci called upon to refresh her memory, and thus it came about that the bracelet ic maincd in his possession until the date fixed for tho wedding was close nt hand. Just nt this inconvenient lime a friend ol Mr Tempany's-to whom he was under obligations in tho way of business-must needs get married, and Mr Tempany felt compelled to give him a wedding-present, Ho resented this disagreeable necessity very much, bocauso ho bad sullered a great deal of uneasiness of late owing to the in crease in his expenditure incident to lus cn o'riwement He was also, at tho moment, particularly depressed by the prospect of having to pay for a honeymoon trip to the Italian lake?, not .to mention such com paratively trilling items as an outfit for himself and promiscuous gratuities to every one on his wedding day. Even tbo consol ing reflection that; once married, his wiles income would be amply sufucient for both failed to soothe him, and in this unhappy frame of mind he suddenly recollected Mis Jay's bracelet. Since ho absolutely, must give a wedding-present to his friend Bullivant, why should he not make use of tho bracelet? It was a great temptation, for the ornament bad lain in bis drawer several weeks, and Mrs Bramwell Jay had apparently for S otteu it. If .she should happen to ask for it before their marriage, he could luvct some plausible excuse to account for the delay in returning ir. When they were married, he could pretend he had lost it, or that it, had been stolen, and if driven into a corner, he could replace it by an inferior article. Asa matter of fact, howovcr,; Mr Tempany did not pause to reflect upoiiremotocontingencies, for he felt so Inexpressibly relieved at the prospect of avoiding further.expouso at the moment, that he yielded blindly to an overpowering temptation. As to the morality of the transaction, it can only .bo. charitably supposed that he vaguely imagined he had some sort of legal property ,n the bracelet in anticipation, of his; rights as-, a U HowLr this may be, Mr Tempany dis patched the bracelet, to his friends .wife with a neatlv-wordcd letter of congratula tions and good wishes. The fact of one of the stones being mining was a little awk ward, because it showed that tbe bracelet was not new. But Mr Tempany tattered himself that.ho got over this di lion ty very adroitly by remarking that the bracelet a Ac.ished heirloom in his family for years and that ho would never have pared with it to any one but the wife of bis dear and esteemed friend Bullivant. By'ret rn-of post'ho received a hearty letter 6f thanks from the lady, and also from h»i friend, and Mi" Tempany experienced a thrill or. vir tuous satisfaction at 'having for once in his life gained credit lor generosity. ' - . Of course, be did, not mention this little episode toMrs1 Bramwcll J*y, «"° "J 6"; tally resolved never to introduce Bullivant to her.'"But a few days afterwards be was considerably startled by tbe widow, 8tl"lBy-tIc-byc, Podmorc, a friend of mine mites that she has had such a nice letter from you.

Ll'L „ i,„ "How stupid of mc! .That, was her maiden name, of course," exclainled Mrs Bramwcll Jay, taking a letter from her desk "It appears she has recently been married. Her husband is Mr-Mr-such a queer name, and I can't read her signature I But he is a friend of yours. "'Not Bullivant 1" said Mr Tempany, W<V e , S ''she writes that her husband is an old friend of yours, and that you sent her a beautiful bracelet. How good of you, Podmoro I You never gave me a beautiful bracelet," added tho widow, reproachfully. •i All in the way of business I muttered Ml Tempany, feeling faint. " _ •' : "Amyoavs she vrill be passing through town to-morrow, and will make a! point of calling to show me the bracelet, continued Mrs Bramwell Jay, innocently..

Ishall certainly stay in for her to moirow. '.'- '' .., ' „.,., " I shouldn't, if I were you," said Mr Tempany, earnestly.' " Very inconsiderate of her,' I cali it, to swoop; down upon you like that."

I It Was an awful reflection, and caused Mr Tempany to break into a cold.perspirat ion. The disagreeable contingency—how ever remote*-of finding "himself: in. I the dock, had the eflect of spurring hia imaginative and inventive powers, so that, insDired by sheer desperation, he at length concocted a story which he hoped might serve his purpose. The cousequence: was that when, iv course of the next day, he "received a peremptory note from the widow, requesting him to call upon her Im-. mediately, he was able to keep the appoint ment with an outward appearance of

calm, .;..:; t.l "Mr Tempany, this is most extraor dinary?" saaid Mrs Bramwcll; Jay, after a very cold greeting. "Amy has been here this morning, and I find -that the bracelet you presented to her is mine ! I gave it to you to take to the jeweller' 3."' " Nonsense 1" exclaimed Mr Tempany, with a well-feigned start of surpriae. It is impossible!" ~• ~ --,;; >r •'lmpossible!

I will swear to it 'Oi course, Amy returned it to me, and I have lost no time in asking you for aa explanation." '.- '•* "What an odd circumstance-rquite ludicrbus ! I must 'speak ,to Bevis.

I "Still It seems extraordinary I" repea ted the' Widow, evidently only half convin ced. ''Tlia jeweller must bo a very care- Jess man, aud detorves o good scolding. {Suppose we go at once and ask him what ho means by it? The carriage is at the door, and I am dressed for my drivo, as you see." " Pray don't trouble, Theodosia. I—l really think you had better stay nt home on a coid day like this," cried Mr Tempauy, with feaiful eagerness. "I will call on Bevis at once—this instant—there 'is no occißion for jou to go." '" '.'

'Mr-Tempany was so utterly taken aback by this sudden nntl unexpected ,whim of Mrs Bramwell Jay's, that he could not lind another word to say. lie followed the lady meekly to the carrioge nnd took his scat beside lier, feeling like a criminal being led to execution. 'J his ill-timed visit to the jeweller's, must, ho felt, inevitably complete his discomfiture, for Mr Bovls would naturally deny all knowledgo of the bracelet. It really ' seemed ns though the only course open to hiui was to confess everything ou tho spot, to avoid needless exposure and disgrace. But' Mr Tempany could not bring himself to acknowledge his. deceit unless he were absolutely obliged, and during tho drive he rosolvcd as a last 'chain; 3 to huny into tho shop alone, on pretence of inquiring if Mr Bevis were within, and tako the opportunity to whisper a word of warning in his ear. No doubt the jewollor wnß open to a biibe, and would make no difficulty about screening him. In his do<perate etato Mr Tempany took heart at this idea, and even contrived to converse witb the widow with appnrent equanimity.

But alas? his little scheme was frus trated by the accidental circunistauco of the coachman taking a wrong turning, so that when the carriage atopped, the side on which tlio widow was seated was nearest to the pavement. The footman, too, was a very smart youth, and doi-ccuded from the box with such alacrity that the carriage door was open before Mr Tempany had re covered his surprise nt having roached tho jeweller's. The consequence was that the widow alighted first and stepped into the shop, whilo Mr Tempany, feeling that the Fates were against him, nnd that ho was pursued by a relentless Nemesis, followed after her in a state of despair.

" Mr Bovis, how caino you to make such an extraordinary mistake ? You are Mr Bevis, I presume?' said the widow, ap proaching tho counter, "\cs, madam," said the jeweller, quietly. "Will you be seated'/ What mistake?"

| Mis Bramwell Jay explained with fatal precision, whilo Mr Tempany stood by, bursting with desperate eugornoes to put in a warning word. By sheer force of will ami mesmeric iotltiouco ho succeeded iv catching Mr Bevis's cyo during the recital. Now Mr Buvis, tho jeweller, was a ahtewd little man, and n glance at the. agonised expression on Mr feuipany's eager and bloodless face sulliccd to put him on the alert. Ho knew tho unhappy gentleman by sis»ht, and aUo by reputation, and though their trausactions had boiin ex tremely limited in extent, ho had piotty well fathomed hia character. Ho there fore guessed at once .how the land lay, and what was required of him, ami though ho made uo sign, n ghost of a smile flickered for au iusiant about tho corners of hia mouth when tho widow had liniahed and awaited his reply.

: " I am extremely sorry, madam," he an swered, with calm deliberation.

" It-it was very careless," Mr Tempany was emboldened to say. though his ho.rt was beating fiercely. "Very,'said iho widow, emphatically, manifestly taken aback. " I cannot imagine how you could have dono such a thing."

"Mistakes will sometimes happen in tho best regulated cstabli*linient»." said Mr Bcvi«, with humility, whilo Mr Tempany felt a strong desire to evinco his gratitude by filling on his neck. " Where U tho bracelet this gentleman purchased, then ?"■ inquired tho widow, still iv an incredulous tono,

For an instant Mr Tempany s uneasiness revived, but Mr Bovis was quite eqnnl to the emergency. Without a moments hesitation ho turned round and produced from a drawer behind him a case, which ho laid upon tho counter, Mr Tempany was so overwholmcd with a blessed feeling of re lief that he felt no curiosity as to tho con tents of .the case. His attention was attracted to it by a startled exclamation from Mrs Bramwell Jay : ; "Oh!: Podmore. What a splendid bracelet l Why, it is a blaze of diamonds I" she cried, clasping her hands. • , "811 I" exclaimed Mr Tempany, hastily putting on his glasses with a startled air. "What! Good heavens I That isn't tho bracelet that I-ehoso," he added, seeing nt a glance that it must be worth several hundred ipounds. " Yes, it is, sir," returned Mr Bevis, in a ;very quiet, dcclnvo tone. "Oh I No. I-I think not, at least," gasped Mr Tnmpany, but observing the shrewd, .look on Mr Bevis'a face, which said as plainly as possible that the bracelet was the price of the service ho had -rendered,'"Mr Tempany subsided into a frightehed an uneasy silonce. Y''Qh!: Podmore;' This is really too good for Amy; Much more than is necessary', Pih'suie," said the widow, who had beon ganing enraptured, at the ornament. "Yes.

"You think riot? :Loofc, Mr Levis., What do you say ?" exclaimed the widow,' clamping the bracelet on hor shapely arm. . i " Excellent 1" cried Mr Bovis, in a tone of emphatic' admiration, Jor which Mr Tempany hated him on the spot "Nothing could look handsomer." . " Very well; Then that is settled," said Mrs BratliweHJay, pleasantly.
