Geneva's Trouble.

• It's the only time that Neva ever deliberately disobeyed me,' said Mrs. Bayliss. ' She's a good girl, in general a very good girl; but I can't overlook

this.'

Pretty Geneva Bayliss looked at her step-mother with large velvet-blue eyes, dilated with dismay. It had seemed only a frolic to her—the moonlight sleigh ride to Aston Park, the dress borrowed from Jennette Aston, the merry dance in honour of Jennette's own birthday, the staying all night be cause 'Flicker' had gone dead lame, and another horse could not be obtained to take his place before morning. 'We'll get there bright and early before the old lady has scoured the morning mist from her eyeglasses,' said Charlie Aston. 'She'll never know. It will be all right, Neva.' So Geneva had stayed all night, sharing her room with the beautiful Miss Clara Perceval, who had come with the Burnhams from the city, although her heart had failed within her at the idea of being compelled thus to set Mrs. Bayliss's authority at

naught. 'But it really wasn't my fault,' she pleaded to herself. ' I meant to have returned before midnight. And, after all, lam with friends; and a girl must have a little enjoyment, now and then. And everybody says how very strict mamma is with me.'

Clara Perceval was a gay, brilliant young creature, who talked a great deal, and seemed to know all that could possibly be known of New York and its vicinity. She pitied Geneva loudly because she had never been to the opera nor seen a ballet. She declared that life without bals masques and theatri cal spectacles was a barren wilderness. And she only stopped her lengthy de scription of the skating rink when she perceived, by the faint glimmer of the night taper, that little Neva was fast asleep.

But Geneva did not dare to tell her step-mother she had worn her new white brocade wedding dress, softened down a little with scarlet sash drapery, and vividly tinted geranium blossoms, and the diamond crescent which had descended to the old lady from a ]ong line of Southern ancestry. Fortun ately, she had been able to get to her own room and change her dress before Mrs. Bayliss sent for her, but her heart stood still when, unfastening the scarf of white tulle from her neck, she missed the half circle of diamonds.

'I know i laid it on the pincushion/ she said to herself. 'And I thought I put it under my pillow. Oh, dear, oh, dear ! what can have become of it ?'

Fortunately Mrs. Bayliss, now some thing of an invalid, seldom wore her fewe), and Neva, after receiving an hour long lecture from her step-mother, and promising never, never to be guilty of such a wild caprice again, was at length allowed to retreat to her own room, like Niobe, all in tears.

' All the parties in the world are not ■worth such an hour as this,' thought our little penitent.. ' I've felt like a wretch and a burglar ever since Charlie Aston met me at the hemlock hedge at nine o'clock last night. I've bartered away my own self-respect, turned thief and deceiver, told a dozen little false hoods to screen one big one, and now the diamond crescent is gone. I do really think it would serve me right to send me to the penitentiary.' The tear-blotted little note which she sent over to Aston Park was answered by an encouraging billet from her friend Jennette.

'It was such a pity. The room had been thoroughty searched,' wrote that young lady 'and nothing in the sem blance of a diamond crescent had been found. Clara Perceval had returned to New York that very morning, but she had telegraphed to Clara. It was just possible that Clara might, by mistake, have packed the crescent with her things in the hurry of getting ready. She (Jennette) would send to dearest Neva at once, just as soon as she heard from Clara Perceval.'

Poor Neva ! Words are powerless to describe the despair that filled her soul when she had perused this note. She could only watch and wait now; nothing was to gained by any further effort. But she felt that she could not look her kind step-mother in the face, lest her eyes should betray the secret that was weighing down her heart.

Mrs. Bayliss herself took pity, on the wan, trembling girl.

'My dear Neva,' said she, c don't look so heartbroken. It was a wild escapade, I grant you, and a foolish one, too, but it is really no laughing matter. I have said that I forgave you. There's an end ot it. Come here and kiss me, and not another word shall be said about it.'

' Oh, if mamma only knew,' thought poor Neva to herself, 'she never, never would kiss me again !'

But in two or three days Jennette Aston herself came over, and—oh, joy of joys !—she brought with her, in a tiny box, the diamond crescent.

• Clara was so vexed about it!' said she. ' And she particularly wishes me to explain that it was caught in the border of her lace handkerchief, and that she only discovered it when she began to unpack. She hopes you haven't been much annoyed about it.' ' I have,' said Neva, sadly, ' very much, indeed; but of course, that is no .fault of Miss Perceval's. lam so glad to get the trinket back again ; it is only another link in the chain of my own folly; and the worst of it is that mamma has been so good and sweet about it.' • -■'•' .

Just a week after this occurrence Mrs. Bayliss accepted an invitation to a state dinner party in the neighborhood. 1 1 shall wear my black velvet gown and the old point lace collarette,' said she;.' and the diamonds, of course.' Geneva drew along breath of relief,

'Yes, dear mamma,' said she; 'and I'll dress your hair in the puffs and braids that you like so well.' But when Mrs. Bayliss pinned on the crescent of diamonds, one stone be came loosened and fell out.

f How very awkward!' said she. 'I shall have to wear the amethysts, after all ; and it was only six months ago that Giraud examined the setting of those diamonds, and pronounced it perfect. I shall send them to town to morrow. But it was fortunate that the stone was not lost, wasn't it, Neva?' 'Yes, mamma,' Geneva answered, in a low voice ; ' very fortunate indeed.' The crescent was sent to New York, the next day, according to Mrs. Bay liss's determination. Mr Giraud him self, a spectacled little Frenchman, arrived within a day or two, and asked to see' Madame.'

'Perhaps,' he said, lowering his voice to a mysterious whisper, 'Madame is not aware that this pre cious old heirloom has been tampered with ?'

'Tampered with?' echoed Mrs.

Bayliss. 'That,' went on Mr. Giraud, 'the diamonds have been taken out, and re placed with an excellent imitation in

glass.' ' Man,' cried the old lady, ' you are crazy. Why, the crescent has never been out of my possession since the last time you examined the setting ; and I hope you don't suspect me of doing such a thing.'

Mr. Giraud nodded, screwed up his lips, and shook his head. He had no theory to offer, he said. ' But these were the facts. The diamonds were gone. In their place remained only bits of brilliantly-fasccted glass ! Eh! What! Was Mademoiselle ill ?'

For Geneva had fainted away in the quiet corner of the room where she was sitting.

The police were notified. Private detectives were put on the track at once. Pawnbrokers were warned; jewellers received printed circulars, but all to no i avail. Until, one day Jennette Aston sent for Geneva to come to the Park. ' Such a dreadful thing, Neva ?' she cried. 'Do you remember that Clara Perceval who was at our house the night of the party —Miss Burhham's friend, you know? Well, she has turned out a regular thief. She has been arrested in New York for robbery and shoplifting. And Blanche Burnham is mortified to death. She says that Clara was her room-mate at school, and she never supposed but that her name was really Clara Perceval instead of Caroline Scroggins.'

•Then,' cried Geneva, clasping her hands, ' it was she that stole mamma's diamonds !' j

And she told Jennette Aston all. Mrs. Bayliss was at once taken into their confidence, and the three, attended by' the family lawyer, pro ceeded immediately to New York, and confronted Miss Caroline Scroggins.

T That fair damsel laughed contempt uously. 1 Of course I took them,' said she. 'Do you take for a fool ? What have I done with them ? You'd better ask me where are the birds in last year's nest. I turned 'em into money, one by one, as I needed 'em, long ago. Oh, yes, it was a good find. I don't often come across such a bonanza as that, more's the pity. But you can't arrest me for theft, seeing I'm in limbo already. And, after all, it was that Geneva girl's fault more than it was

mine.'

' She is right,' said Geneva, with tears in her eyes. 'It was my fault,'

But Mis Bayliss took her step daughter tenderly in her arms.

' Neva,' said she, • the diamonds are gone. We will cease to regret their loss. Perhaps it will have taught both of us a lesson—you to trust me more, me to rule you less strictly. Let us forget all else.' • Mamma,' sobbed Geneva, 'you ere an angel.'
