MARION'S UNCLE.

A Case for the Detectives.

By SYLVANUS COBB, Jcx.

CHAPTER XII. (Continued.) Arthur Singleton satin his great easy chair, with a brilliant gas-light over his shoulder, engaged in reading an evening newsprint. The air without was some, what damp and chili, and his windows were closed and the curtains drawn. Thus he sat when he was disturbed by a rap on his door. He threw aside the paper and at once answered the sum mons, finding his visitor, as he had ex pected, to be his confriar of the bank, Walter Vernon-

' Well, old fellow ! Here you are, at length, as large as life, and twice as natural. I've been waiting for you.' 'I was detained by a caller, who came just as I was ready to start out/ ' All right. Better late than never. There !'—when they had shaken hands and Walter had been led into the room, and the door shut behind him—' take that chair. I keep it on purpose for a chosen friend, when he is good enough to call. I like to sit comfortably, and I like to see my friend take comfort with me; so I bought these two chairs; they're just alike, you see, and I think you'll pronounce my judgement of chairs to be good.' ' Capital!' responded the guest, as he sank into the soft and grateful seat. 'Was it the tax-gather that caught you in your out-going V asked the host, with a merry laugh. ' Here—try a cigar. I've ordered a jorum of punch for by-and-by.' 'Not exactly a tax-gatherer, said Walter, as he took a cigar from the case which the other had extended. 1 You remember Dick Ashbury ¥ ' 'Blue-eyed Dick,' the girls used to call him. Yes, I remember him well. I'm afraid he's in a bad way.' 1 What makes you think so V ' I've been told, on very good author ity, that he has fallen into bad com pany, and that he drinks and gambles. That is bad enough for a young fellow of his temperament. I pity his mother, if it is as bad as I have heard—and I certainly fear it is.' ' I guess you have heard the truth, Arthur.' And. thereupon' Walter went on and told the story of his interview with the youth on the previous Saturday evening. ' This evening,' he went on, when he had told of having seen Dick safely to his mother's door on the former occasion, 'he came to inform me that he had been before the judge, and had been let off with a reprimand and a lecture. The judge —it was Lapham—' ' And a grand fellow he is,' broke in Singleton, warmly. ' You are right there, Arthur, as lus treatment to Dick goes^ to prove. He received the poor boy in his chamber, all alone, after the court had closed, and everybody had gone, saving only the one officer who had come in with the culprit, and there he gave him a lecture, spoke to him of his mother, and of the opportunities in life open to him, and in the end he made no costs, and imposed a fine of one cent. You see, the lad had been arrested, and a complaint entered, and he had acknowledged himself guilty • so the judge was obliged to fix a penalty, as he has not the pardoning power. Well, Dick told me the story- he had come because he had promised that he would do so and report —and then he wanted to pay me for my time and trouble. He really thought, as he had not been called upon to pay any costs, that I must have paid" them." But I soon set his mind at rest on that point, and sent him away happier than he had been before for a long time. He had taken a solemn pledge not to touch liquor not to drink a drop—for a year. I hope he will keep it; and I think he will. After this the conversation turned upon the war, and the latest reports from Grant and Lee. The subject was at length exhausted, after which fell a silence which lasted half a minute or more. Several times the visitor moved uneasily in his seat, and manifested other signs of unrest. His host noticed it, and finally spoke: ' Say, Walter, you have something special to communicate. When you asked me, at the bank, if I would be at home this evening, I fancied such was the fact, and your present look proves it. What is it ? Out with it, old fellow. Is it a message from Stephen Wilmot ? If it is, don't be afraid to speak.' Until this moment Walter Vernon had not realised what a difficult mission he had undertaken. He began to think that it would have been better if he had let Marion write, as she had offered to do. But she had preferred that he should be her ambassador. She had thought he could present the case more kindly than she could do in writing, not that she could not write kindly enough, but she had been afraid to trust herself, fearing that she might say too much, or not enough. However, he had come upon the mission, and he must execute it. Finally he threw away his half-smoked cigar and spoke. His voice was low and tremulous, and he spoke with difficulty : 'It is not from the old man. I wish it was. No, Arthur, it is from Marion —Miss Wilmot.' ' Ah!' said Singleton, with a quick, convulsive start. 'What can she have had to say that you should bring it V • Dear old friend!' cried the mes senger, bending forward and speaking eagerly, ' I know you will not be of fended. Marion would have written, |t. but she feiirod that she might £ay too I much, or not enough,'

'Well,' as Walter paused, as though for lack of words, • she would have written—what 1 In Heaven's name, out with it!' ' Arthur, don't blame her ; but blame me. You wrote to her.' ' And she showed my letter to you V demanded the listener* turning pale and quivering at every joint. ' Why, bless you !' blurted Vernon, hardly knowing what to think of the other's look and tone, ' why should she not show it to me 1 She aiid I have been solemnly affianced since last New Year's Day. We intended to keep it secret until I had become a partner in the bank, when we were to have been —' 'Married? burst from Singleton's lips, as he started Up from his chair and strode half way across the room, where he stopped and turned. ' Mar ried !' he repeated, quivering like an aspen.' 'Do you mean' that she — Marion Wilmot—is to become your wife V 'Yes, Arthur! 0, we. had not dreamed of this!' the ambassador ex claimed, stirred to his profoundest depths, and at the same time advancing towards his friend with outstretched hands. ' Dear Arthur ! As true as—' ' Hold! Do not add in9ult to m* jury !' cried tho young host, putting forth a hand and waving the other back. sDo not come near me !Do not touch me! 0, Walter, Walter! You knew that I loved her ! You-—' 1 Arthur ! hear me, I beseech you—' 'No no! Stand back! Do not touch me ! Shoot me ! Do anything ; but do not offer me the hand that has—' At that point Singleton stopped sud denly in full career, becoming aware that'a third person was in the room. He turned, and beheld the servant with a salver in his hands', whereon was the jorum of punch, with ladle and glasses, which he had ordered. ' Set it down, Jack. Set it down. I sha'n't want you any more.' When the servant had gone both the young men were somewhat cooler. Vernon was the first to speak, and his tearful eyes and heart-sent voice1 told how deep and true were his feelings. ' Arthur^ as true as Heaven, I did not know that you loved Marion like that. Answer me, honestly. Did you know that I loved her so deeply V Singleton looked into his tiom panion's face, at first with a vacant stare ; but presently his eyes bright ened, and he answered : • No; I did not.' ' Then,' demanded Vernon, ' how should I know that you loved her? Dear old fellow, our love has been to us a sacred thing—far too sacred to he lightly spoken of. In fact, I shouldn't have known how to speak of it, And yet, on my word, I solemnly swear to you, had I dreamed that you held a thought of -winning Marion's heart and hand, I should have told you tho truth as I believe you would have told me had the case been reversed. 0 ! will you not believe me f

Singleton did not immediately reply. Ho took two or three turns to and fro across the room, and then sank back into his great easy-chain He had become quite calm, but was still pale and unhappy. * Walter.' he said, in a low, hollow tone, 'forgive me if 1 have seemed to be unjust. You don't know how this thing has upset me. I wish Marion had written to me.'

' So do I. When she first asked me if I didn't think you would understand the case better from me, I did riot dream how difficult and delicate the mission would be.—Say, old fellow!' with a brightening look, f why not let her write as it is 1 Perhaps she can make you understand exactly hoW she feels; but 1 doubt it. Stiljj why not let her writej if you would like it V 'Look here,' said Arthur, after a little thought, 'if she Svill write, will you keep her in ignorance of this inter^ view V

' Yes,' cried Walter, quickly and impulsively. ' And I would rather it should be so. I will jtell her she had better write. I will say that, oil thinking it all over, I have made up my mind that that will be the best way'

I You will do that, honestly V I 1 will, on my honour. She shall never know that I have spoken a word in advance of her writing. 3 ' Walter, give me your hand. For get what I have hastily said, and let us be friends as heretofore.' They embraced with fraternal good feeling, after which the host ladled out two glasses of punch, and proposed the health of Marion Wilmbt. It was drunk in silence. The happy lover would not speak of her future; the other could not.

The silence lasted until a thought occurred to the visitor, which led hitn to speak. It was of Jasper Ketiwick's stratige infatuation. He told Arthur of Renwick's visit to Marion, and of his subsequent meeting with himself. ' And,' he addedj' if lam hot greatly mistaken, you will hear from him bh your own account. Hold on. Wait a moment,' as the other started to speak. ' Ah! I have it how. Didn't you write that note to Mariofl last Saturday at your desk V ' Yes.' 1 And the old man called you into his room before you had finished it 1\ 'Yes,' said Singleton, after a little thought. 'I remember it. The note was almost finished when t was called away.' • Well, Jasper Renwick slipped over and read it. I was in the vault, and could see him without being seen in return. I supposed, at the time, that he was looking over your account, though I couldn't understand why any thing in that should cause him to curse and swear to himself, as he did on his way back to his own place. And the tooks he has given you since

are all clear to me now. They puzzled me when I saw them, but I can under stand them now.'. _. t . < The villain ! The villain ! fairly shouted Arthur, leaping up froth his chair, and stamping his foot upon the floor furiously. 'OMf ho dares to open his head to me, 1'H — I'll —* 1 Hush!' interrupted Walter, with a warning motion of the hand. ' I hear a footfall outside. Let the wretch go. If lam not mistaken Mr Wilmot will very soon make an end of him in the bank.' Singleton went to the door and looked out, but nobody was in sight. He came back and resumed his seat, and when they had discussed the sub ject of Jasper Kenwiek and his wedding a while longer, the visitor arose to de part. Another glass of punch was ladled out and drunk to Arthur's own sentiment : ' Here's to our friendship, Walter— now and evermore !' And with that they shook hands, good-iiighfcs were spoken, and they separated. An hour later, as the servant who attended to the wants of the guests on that floor* was going his rounds of in spection previous to the closing of the house for the niglit, he Was startled by two sharp, loud reports in quick suc cession, as Of two pistols, or- a revolver twice discharged. The sound was certainly from a point close at hand, and his first thought, when his thoughts dame to his aid, was of the room wherein he >.ad been Witn&Ss of what he fancied an angry altercation between the occupant and a visitor, and where he had since that overheard a loud stamping of feet, accompanied by heated words.

To that apartment he speedily made his way, but found the door locked. Having called at the top of his voice lie until he judged it useless to call longer summoned the landlord. Thd latter, having tried his voice without avail, arid finding that the presence of a key in the lock on the inner side prevented the1 use of his pass-key, resorted to force. A few vigorous kicks opened the way. The room was dark, but the strong fumes of burned gun powder told them that they were on the right scent, and that something was wrong. A match was struck and gas lighted ; and as the bright beams dispelled the gloom, a sight met their gaze that thrilled them with horror ! (To he Continued To-morrow.)
