A CORSICAN VENDETTA.

By C. A. aUNTEB,

The Successful American Playwright.

CHAPTER XIII. (Continued.)

Miss Anstruther makes an attack upon the tables that afternoon, and returns to the hotel a heavy loser; and at night, being desperate from a mighty desire to c ompel Barnes thafc she is right and can take care of herself afc roulette, she puts in her satchel all the available funds she com. mands, except a little rouleau of gold bhab the one flash of reason remaining to he r that evening counsels her to keep for an emergency, and, getting Marina to accom pany her, goes to the Casino, nob to woo fortune, but to conquer ib.

"I will win," she hisses to herself' clenching her two rows of pearls together that serve her as teeth ; and whoever has said theso unlucky three words knows that they are a spell against good luck. This is the case with Miss Anstnitlier, and all through the evening she no sooner places her stake than it is raked in by the croupier, whom she be&ns to regard as an imp of darlmess. She can't lose for ever, she thinks, and makes a bold try lor for tune by befcfcing on a single number, and wins—fchirfcy-live times the amount ot her wager. Marina, who has been astounded at the sums Enid has lost, whispers to her : "Come away; it is luck enough tor to night. !" . , ~. , , And so she will. She is holding out her hand for her money when she sees Mi- Barnes looking at her. " He will think his power drove me away," mutters Miss Hot head. She shakes oil Marina's hand that would draw her from her fascination, and bets more recklessly than ever. And now fortune leaves her entirely ; and goes from bad to worse until she musb sbop, because her lasb louis has been staked and lost. But Barnes is still looking earnestly at tho girl—she thinks, with a lurking smile ;so she whispers hurriedly to Marina. "Certainly !" says the latter, " you know what I have is yours ; all English are rich, I believe ; but you must be very wealthy to lose as you lose !" Enid borrows from the Corsican an amount equal to what, she has left at bhe hotel. "This I can pay to-morrow! re plies the English girl, and will take no more. But this she bets very wildly, and in a few minutes says to Marina: "Ifc is the last, and it is gone !" Then looking about for fear Barnes may bo near and see her misfortune, sho whispers: " Como, let us go homo. I'm tired of bad luck." So the two walk to the hotel together m the moonlight, attended by Tomasso, who is like his mistress's shadow in this wicked place, though perhaps he may have had his orders from Count Dauolla, who never for gets anything. " Will you come up to my room and get your money, Marina," says Miss An sfcruther, " or shall I pay you in tho morn _•""«• i" ""*"• At your leisure, mia amina .'t And the Corsican girl kisses the English ono ; then, afijer a little, murmurs: " You are like ycur brother; he is reckless also.'* " Oh ! my losses are a mero batjatette, replies Misa Anstruther airily, for sho bus a fearful pride in her this night; and goes up the stairs very haughtily. But, getting to her own room, this mere bayatellc makes her sigh and shudder and givo a little groan." She has squandered her quarter's allowance; she has drawn every franc of her letter of credit. Sho remembers she has unpaid bills. When she has given Marina her money in the morning she will have to borrow from Lady Chartris, and Lady Chartris, she knows, is a most un comfortable woman from whom to borrow. Then she thinks of the cause of all her woo. 6b, if he had not said cruel things to her about her passion for gambling—bub she forgives him; it was thafc awful woman. And she imagines La Belle Blackwood as a kind of female dragon, devouring innocent youths that look like Mr Barnes, and cries oub to herself: "The horrid monster! 1 could kill her ! " and clenches her fist as if fco do ifc. ~._._ But here this chivalrous feminine brunt George utters a suppressed shriek; her doubty knees smite together, and she nearly faints ; for in the subdued light of the room, concealed under tho clothes of her bed, she sees a hidden form—a burglar, or a man, or somefching-and is aboub to let forth a cry fchatwillraise the hotel, when Maud Chartris puts her curly head from under the sheets, and in a pathetic whisper says: " Enid! don't shriek ; it's only me ! Don't scream, but forgive me 1" " What are you doing here? you irightful child ! Get out of my bed !" " Not till you swear you won't tell ma ! Here Miss Chartris begins to sob, and Enid can see the child is really in earnest. " Tell your ma-what!" " Tell her that I stole—l borrowed all your money." "My rouleau of gold ?" gasps Enid, rush ing to her drawer and opening ib trem blingly. "Yes ! You needn't look there ; its all

gone." " Wretch ! you have stolen my honour ! cries Miss Anstruther in a voico like Lady Macbeth's, and seizes the child who has brought despair upon her and drags her to the floor, where she lies grovelling for mercy among the bedclothes she has carried with her, for her victim's face and manner almost paralyse this youthful culprit. " Where has it gone ! Have you lost

it ?" "I played it away at roulette; you bragged to me laat night bow you won money, and I thought I could win too, and so I borrowed it, and—and lost it to-night after dinner. Oh, swear you won't tell ma. She'll kill me—she'll—!" Here Miss Chartris becomes inaudable for sobs. "My Heaven ! I must have that money to-morrow. I must, borrow it from your mother." " Borrow it from ma!" a howl of appre hension on the last word. "It'll all come out! If she knows she's got to pay back money I stole, she'll—l darsen't think—l shall be sent back to England ! Oh, Enid mercy ! Don't tell her-don't—don't!' And the frightened criminal goes into an other convulsion of despair. A moment's reilection shows Enid that Maud is certainly correct as to the pain 3 and penalties that will come upon her if her mother discovers; for if there is one breach of the Decalogue that Lady Chartris would visit upon her guilty offspring in a fearful manner, it would be the ono that compelled her to lay out money for that fault. Even in all her own misery, Enid can't help pitying the miserable child, whose crime, she grimly thinks, is not much worse than her own, as she looks at her Bobbins at her feet. She takes her in her arms and soothes her, and say.i: "Maud, darling, you need not fear ; your mother shall never know."

"You promise?" "Yes."

"Then you're a brick !" She has learnt this slang from Mr Barnes. And Maud, becoming smiles,again, for she knows Enici s word is her bond, takes to kissing that ypung lady, who is very miserable and sits in a stunned way, giving littlo gasps of desDair. After a little Miss Anstmtier begins to sigh, and to say, " What shall I do ?—I must have the money." " Must you have the money, to-morrow, Enid?" * "■"___ "Of course I must—why do you bother me V says the young lady helplessly.

" Well, then, Til get it for you !" cries Maud, who has hidden herself in the bed without removing any article of her dress, springing eagerly up "Get it for me? What nonsense? How?" asks Enid, only half heeding her. " Borrow itjrom Barnes !" screams Maud, and darts from the room. Those fearful words ily through Miss An struther like an electric shock. There could be no shame, no degradation like that. She rushes after the girl, calling her wildly to come back. It is only ten o'clock, and the grounds aro pretty full of people, and Miss Anstruther cannot catch sight of the child ; though she even leaves the hotel to do so ; for the horrible thought of what Maud means to do makes every nerve in lief body tingle with an agony of humiliation. " Borrow it ?rom Barnes ! Borrow it from Barnes !" sings in her cars, and every throb of her heart brings a flush of deeper shame to hey face. So ifc comes to pass that Enid, after wandering about the grounds for a few minutes, refcurns to tho house to find her self confronted by Maud, who has Mi- Barnes by the hand, and has juyfc been ex plaining something to him in a very eager and excited manner.

Miss Anstruthev comes straight up to them. There is a high colour on her checks and a sparkle in her eye as sho says very angrily to Maud : " Do not dare to speak another word—go upstairs and go to bed, or I shall forget the promise I made you." Tho object of her speech gives one look at her, collapses, and shrinks into the house, and the young lady turns to Mr Barnes. That gentleman, as he looks at her, has a kind of inspiration that his fate will be settled within the next live minutes. _ He knows, if ho wounds her pride in the slight est, Enid Anstruther will never speak to him again ; so ho waits for her to begin, wondering if this is tho last time he will ever hear her voice.

" What has thafc child been saying to you about me?" The question is put most un compromisingly, and Barnes knows it is best to answer it truly. So he gives a little account of what Maud has told him, which is simply a statement of what had oc curred in her room. "As I understand her," he adds, " Maud has taken, unknown to you, a sum of money which you were in need of to-morrow ;if you asked Lady Chartris to lend you the money, she feared her mother would discover her fault, and being anxious to save the child from punish ment you had promised her nofc to apply to her mother, and so she came to rue !"

"Of courso you know I did not send her on such an errand?"

" Of course not 1" says Barnes promptly. " Certainly not—after the way you have treated me !" continues Enid with a re proach in her voice. She has opened tho argument; Barnos knows she hesitates and that he has her, and disarms her with thb speech : " You are right; I apologise for tho injustice I did you the other evening. I reproached you because in the Casino you spoke to v woman tin worthy of your notice. Your in nocence could not know hor by sight, my wickedness did ; but, like most men of the world, I havo been perhaps n little careless, for I havo had nothing to anchor mo to goodness." This is very cunning, as Barnes says nothing of his warning Enid against her passion for gambling, iv which ho was all right, and only speaks of the La Hello Blackwood side of tho episode, in which he was all wrong. He gots tho advantage of this in the girl's reply : " Yes—but men havo so many temp tations."

"So wo havo," says Mr Barnes; " if I had bueu poor I might havo been better." " I do not regard wealth as such v great evil," says Miss Anstruther. "Nor I, ab present!" echoes Barnes, "for it enables mo to do something that will make me very happy if you will permit it. Won't you toll mo exactly how 1 can aid you in this matter, in which you have treated Maud so nobly? Como out for a little walk, we will bo more alone on tho grounds." Miss Anstruther finds it hard to bo very angry with him, and they go off to gether.

" Now," ho says, " you consented to accept a service from me in Lyons, when you knew me not as well as you do now ; will you hceitato to do mo a like honour this evening ?" This reminds the girl of his consideration for her during tho embarrassments of her railway journey ; sho grow.s very tender towards him, and tells him all her troubles of the last two days, nnd ho arranges her money difficulties in an easy oil-hand man ner rhat takes all embarrassment from her. She is to write to her brother ; and when ho sends her tlio funds—as ho is sure to do— she will repay Mr Barnes. This agony being off her hands, her spirits seem to leap from bondage, and she is more charming than ever she has been to him before, perhaps because she is a littlo more self-conscious in her manner, and blushes once or twice when sho looks at him as they come back to the hotel. "Then," says Mr Barnes, "you prefer being under obligations to me rather than to Mademoiselle Paoli ?"

" Y—e—s," a little bashfully. "And you like rae better than you did the other evening ?"

" Very much !" " And why ?"

" Because you haven't scolded mo—when to-night I really deserve it; for I havo been a gambler for tho last two days, and was in awful trouble if you hadn't helped me—oh, why aro you so kind to mo ?" And des perately fearing an answer to this question, Enid runs upstairs ; but before going to her own room opens softly the door of the wicked Chartris infant, and stealing up to her gives that sleeping criminal a most affectionate kiss.

Barnes looks out of his window and wonders why Monaco is such a jolly place, and says : " To-morrow !" as if he meant it to be a very important day in his life.

WHAT IT IS MADE OF.

It is simply the most wonderful remedy tho world has ever seen for the immediate relief and cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases. Its remarkable action has mystified doctors, delighted sufferers, and dispelled the doubts of the most incredulous. Its virtues are praised by thousands all over the land, who have been rescued from years of suffering and torture with every species of disease,and granted a newleasoofbealthand activity. When physicians have certified to theirinability to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, and othervery painful disorders bygiving up their patients to the stubborn claims of pro tracted disease and possible death itself, tho St. Jacobs Oil, by its unpretensious merit, has gained in every instance yet greater fame from its almost magical Influence over these diseases. This remedy has no uncertain or miraculous history ; its decided power resides in a peculiar volatile oil, carefully distilled from tho Pinus Sylvestris, and has been used and distri buted for hundreds of years by the inhabi tants of the Black Forest, a mountainous and densely-wooded region in Baden and Wurtembui-g, Germany. The introduction of the Sb. Jacobs Oil into Australia has been attended with the samedistineuishedresults as have ever characterised its employment in America and Europe; and its adoption as the national remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases is assuied. When it is considered that this wonderful pain-banisher and health-restorer can be had afc all drug stores for such a small sum, it appears as a mutter of duty to every sufferer with rheumatism, neuralgia, or kindred complaints to seek the relief which St. Jacobs Oil cannot fail to give. Try it and you will bo convinced.
