The plrassnt fccue was Neucliatcl; the plea 8Rnt month whh April; tbe plraMiut place was a nolarj's oilice; tlie pleasant person In it wat the notnrv a roy, henrty, handsome old m:i, the chlof notary ot Ncuouatel, known far and wide in the cautoii as Maitre. Volgt. Professionally and persouHlly the notary was b popular citiKen.

Ilia lorn brown frockcout and hii black pkullcap were anion;; Ihe Institutions of the place; and he carried a snuff box, which la point of size was popularly believed to be with out a )urlleltiu Europe. There watt another person In the notary's of fice, not oo pleu-uut as the notary. This was Obenrcior. An old pastoral kind of office H was, and one that would never have auswered in End mil, it flood in a neat buck yard, fenced otf from a pretty flower garden. Jots browsed In the door way, and a cow was within half a dozen leet ot keeping compauy with the clerk. Mattra Voigt'ii room was a bright and varnished little room, with panelled walls, like a toy-chamber. According to the tebsonsof the year, roses, nuufloweis, hollyhockf, peeped Jo at the win- ?S--Muii.tri Vo'?l'8 bee hrainpi through i, iif 1 1 tho Stumer, in at thia window and cul,tl -at, tHklng it lrequently in their diy's work, aa it honey were to be made from Maitre Volpt's sweet ditpoiition. A laij;e musicul box on the ehimncy-piece often trilled away at tha overture to Fra Diavolo, or a selection from William Tell, with a chirruping liveliness that had to be stopped by force ou the entr ince of a client, and lrrepress-ibly broke out again the moment his back was turned. "Courage, coivaiic, my gi.od fellow 1" said Maitre Voigl, purling Ubenreizer on trie a"" in a tnUierly and comforting way. ''Vou'will begin a new life to-morrow mcialng in my office ubenreizcr dref-ed In tnournltig and sub dued in manner lilted his hand, with a white bandkerchittf in ft, to the region of his heart. "The eratitudr-1 h re,1' lie tatd. "Bat the words to express it are not hTc." "f u-ta-ta 1 Don't talk to me about eratitudc!" said Maine Vo gt. "1 hate to tee a roan op pressed.

Do I owe nothing to your lather's son? 1 owe liim a debt of friendly obligation, and I pay it to you I That's rather neatly pxpief-bel, I think," added Maitre Voiiit, in hi;h uood-humor with himself. "Permit nic to re ward my own merit with a pinch of swiff I" Obenreizer dropped bis eyes to the ground, as though lie were not even worthy to see the notary take snuff. "Vo me one lut favor, sir," he siid, when be raised hi3 eye?. "Do not act on i n pulse. Thus tar, you have only a tiencrul knowledge of my position. Hear the ca.-e for and against me. in its details, before you tike me into your oilice. Let my claim on yourbenuvoleuce berecocnized by your sound reuon as well as bv your excel lent heart. In that cue, J may hold up ray head ugainst the bitterest of my eueinlc, and build niyt-elf a new reputation on the ruins of live character I have lost." "As you will," s-akl Mnitre Voigt. "You speak well, mv son. You will be a hue lawyer one of these days." "The details are not many,"" pursue! Oben reizer. "My troubles, heyin with tho accidental death of my late truvllinq companion, my lost dear iriend, Mr. Vendale." "Mr. Vetidale," repeated the notary. "Just so. I have heard and read of the name several times within the last two mouths. The name of the uufoitunate English gentleman who was killed on the Uiruplon. When you got that scar upon your cbt-ek and neck." "Kr om my own knit'e," said Obcnrcifr, touchiug what must have been an ugly gash at the time of its infliction. "From your own knit'e," assented the notary, "and in trying to save hitu. flood, good, good. That was very good. Veudalo. Yes. 1 huve peveial times, lately, thought It droll that 1 nhould once have had a client of that name." "But the world, sir," returned Obeureizer, "is so hmall !" Nevertheless, he made a mental note that tho notary hud ouce had a client of that name. "As 1 was saving, sir, he death of that dear travelling comrnde begins my troubles. What follows? I save myself. I go down to Milan. I am received with coldness by Detiesuier and Company. Shortly afterwards, I am discharged by Delresnier and Company. Why They give no reason why. I ask, do they assail my honor? Ho answtr. I air, what Is the imputation against me? No answer. 1 ask, where are their proofs against me? No answer. I ask, what am I to think? The reply is, 'M. Oben reizer is free to think what he will. What M. Obenreizer thinks is of no importance to De fresnier and Company.' And that is all." "i'erfeetly. That is all," assented the notary, taking a large pinch of souff. "Hut is that euoUKh. sir?" "That is not enough," said Maitre Voigt. "The House of Deiresuier are my lullow-towns-- men much respected, much esteemed but the nouse ot Ueireenier mum not sueniiy aesiroy a man's character. You can rebut assertion. But Low can you rebut silence ?" "Your sense of justice, my dear patron," answered ObenTcizer, "states in a word the cruelty of the case. Does it stop there? No. For, wbut follows upon that?" "True, my poor boy," said the notary, with a comforting nod or two: "your ward rebels upon that." "Rebels is too soft a word," retorted Oben rnizer. "My ward revolts from me with horror. My ward defies me. My ward withdraws her self from my authority, and takes shelter (Madame Dor wita Iit) in the house of that English lawyer, Mr. Biutrey, who replies to your summons to her to submit herself to my authority, that she will not do o." "Ai,d who afterwards writes," sutd the notary, moving his large snuff-box to look among the papers vinoerneaih it for the lettor, "that he is coming to router with me." -1lde?',?'1 rpiVed Obenreizer, rather checked, 'well, sir. Have I no legal riehts?" Assured y. my poor bov." returned the notary. All bin teim8 have their legal rights." "And who calls me lslon?" said Obenreizer, iercely. "Jsoone. Be calm under your wrou2s. If the Ilouee of Detrer,ier would call you felon Jmleei), we should know bow to deal with them ' While sayine theso words, he bad handed Bin trey's very short leHer to Obenreizer, who now lead it and cave it back. "In sayinir," observed Obenreizer, with re-, covered cooponure. "that he is coming to con fer with you, this Knglii-h lawyer meaus that be is coming to deny my authority over my waid." "You think so?" "lam sure of it. Iknowblm. He is obsti nate and contentious. You will tell ine, my dear sir, whether my mithority ia unavailable, until my ward is of ae?" "Absolutely unassailable." "1 will enforce it. I will make her submit herself to it. r'or," said Obenreizer, chantrintr bis angry tone to one ot grateful submission, "I we it to you. sir; to you, who have to con fldincly taken an Inlured man under your pro tection and into jour employment " . ''Wlke your nnnd easv," ssi.t Maitre Volgt. Ho wore of this now, aud no tltuuktrl Be here to-morrow mcrning before tho other clerk tomes- I clwien seven and sikIH. You will find me in this room; and I will mjfelf inltia'e you in your work. (Jo awavl go away! I have letters to write. I won't hear a word more." Dismis.'ed with tbi-i srenerous abruptness, and satisfied with the favorable impression he had left on the old roan's miud, Oucnreizc-r was at li'i.-ure to reveit to the mental note he tml made that Maitre Voigt once had a clicut whoee uauio w as Vendale. "I ouiiht to know Engltnd well enough by this time;' so bis meditations ran, as he sat eu a bench in the yard; "and il is not a name I ever encountered there, except'' he looked in voluntarily over his shoulder "as hie name. Is the world so small that I cannot get awav from him, even now when he Is cead ? lie confessed at the last that he bad betrayed the trust of the dead, and mixmlierite J a fortune. Aud I was to sre to it. And I was to sttn 1 off, that my lace might remind him ol it. Why my lace, unless it concerned me? I am Hire ot his words, lor they have beeu in my ar ever since. Can there be anjihing beariDg ou tbum, iu the keep Ir.goftbis old tdirit? Anything to repair my fortunes, and blacken bis memory? He dwelt upon my earliest remembrance, that uiht at Bsnle. Why, unless he had a purpose iu 1;?'' Maitre Votgi's two largest he-goats were but ticg at him to butt him out of the place, at If foi that disre'i cctlul mention ot their uis-ter. So he got up hikI left the plare. But be walked alone for a long t ime on the border of the lake, with his head drooped in deep thought. Between teveu aud cicht next morning he presented hlmselt again at the oilice. lie tound the notary rcudy tor him, at work ou soiuo papers which had come m ou the previous evening. In a tew clear words, Maitre Voit explaiued the lontiLe of the oflice, and the dunes Obenreizer would be expected to per form. It still wanted live minutes to eight when the preliminary Instruction were de clared to be complete. "I will show you over the house and the offices." said Maitre Voigi, "butl must pat away these papers first. Tiicy come (runi the munici pal authorities, and they luutt be taken special care of," Obenrc'zer saw his chance here of 6ndiner out the repository iu which h'.s en ployei's private papers wei c kept. "Can't I save you the trouble, sir?" he askpd. "Can't I put those documtnls away under your directions?" Maitre Voigt laughed softly to lilrusoi'- closed the poitfolio in which the r ',, i"M, been sent to him; handed it "l""' " hd of ffiEKS JU ,rv" n "AlYSS p,per. onmport,;-o(. are kept soudKlv ..r pointed to a heavy oaken door, thickly Btudded with nails, at the lower end of the room. AppronchiTiji the door with the port folio, ObeEicizer discovered to his astonish ment that there were no means whatever of opening it from th outside. There wts no handle,' no lock, no key, and (climax ot passive obstruction 1) no keyhole. "There is a second door to this room ?" said Obenreizer. appealinc to the uotary. "No," said 11 litre Vigi. "J JebS again." "There is a window '(' "Nothing of the or The window has been bricked up. The only way iu is the way by that door. Do you give it up? " ciied Ma tre Voigt, iu high tiiumph. "Listen, my g ndfeilow, aud tell me it you hear u'.hing inside?-' Obenreizer lisUned lor a moment, and started back from the door. "I know 1" he exclaimed. "I beard ot this wbeu I was apprenticed here at the watch maker's. Ferriu Bro.hrrs have tiu;shed their famous clock-lock at last and you have got it." "Bravo!" said Maitre Voig1,. "Ine clock-lock ilisl There, my soul There, you have one more of what the good people ot this town call 'Daddv Voiet's folhe;.' VVith all my heart ! Let those laush w ho win. No thief can steal my kcjs. Ho burplar cao pick my lock.

That I" cried Daddy Voii't, snappins his 111 ger, "tor all tUe tnieves in Christendom 1" "May I see it in action ?" usUed Obenreizer. "Pardon my curiosity, dear sir! You know that 1 was once a tolerable worker in the clock tiade." "Certainly yon shall see it in action," said Maitre Voigt. "What, is tho time nov? One miKUte to eight. Watch, aud in one minute you will eee the door open of itself." In one minute, smoothly and slowly, as if in visible hands had set it lree, the heavy door, opened inward, and disclosed a dark chamber bejond. On three sides, shelves filled the walls, fiotn tloor to ceibng. Arranged on the shelves, were rows upon rows of boxes male in the pret'y inlaid woodwood of Switzerland, and beaii'ug inscribed ou their fronts (for the most part in innciful colored letters) the nmes of the notary's clients. Maitre Voigt lighted a taper, and led the way into the room. "You shall see the clock," he said, proudly. "I possess the greatest curiosity in Europe. It is only a privileged lew whose eyes can look at it. I give the privilege to jour good father's son; you shall be one of the favored lew who enter the room with me. See! hre it is on the right hand wall at the side of the door." "An ordinary clock," exclaimed Obenroizer. "No 1 Not au ordinury clock. It has only one hund." "Ahal" Fald Maitre Voigt. "Not an ordinary clock, my friecd. No, no. That one baud goes round the dial. As I put it, go it regulates the hour at which the door shall open. Seel The hand points at eight. At eight the door opened, as you saw for yourself." "Does it open more than once in the four-and-twenty hours?" aked Obenreizer. "Moie than orcu ?" repeated the notary, with great scorn. "You don't know, my good friend, Tick, Tick 1 He will open the door as often as I abk him. All he wants is his directions, and he gets them here. Look nelow the dial. Here is a half circle of ttel let into the wull, aud here Is a hand (called the regulator) that travels round it. just as ray band chooses. Notice, if you please, that there ate figures to guide me on the half ciTcle of steel. Figure I means, Open once in the four aud twenty hours. Figure II means, Open twice; and so on to the end. I set the remilutor every morniuir, after I have read my leticr, and when I know what my day's woik U to be. Would you like to see me set it now? What is to-day? Wednesday. (od ! This is the day of our rifle-club; there is little business to do; I plant a half holiday. No work here to day, alter 3 o'clock. Lt us first put away this portfolio of municipal papers. There! No need to trouble Tick-Tick to open the door uutil 8 to-inorrow. (iood ! I leave the dial-hand at 8; I put buck the regulator to 'I.'; I cloee the door; and closed the door lemaios, past all opening by anybody, till to-morrow morniuer at 8." Obeureizer's quickness in'tanlly saw the means by which he luigbt make the clock-lock betray its mastei's confidence, and plaee its mastei's inioers at bis disposal. "ritoji, sir!" he cried, at the moment when the notary was closiog the door. "Dou't I seo soine thiutf movina; uiiiouir the boxes ou the tloor there ?" (Maitre Voiet tamed his back for h moment to look. In that moment. Ob'-nreizer's ready baud put tho regulator on, from the tiuuie "i." to the lisure 4 II." Uidess tho notary looked aeaiu at the hnli ci'de of steel, the door would ot.en at 8 that eveiduc, as well as at 8 next morning, auu nooody but Oocureizor would know it. ) "There is nothing 1" said Maitre Voigt. "Your troubles have shaken vour nerves, mv sop. Some shadow throwu by my taper; or some poor "i'ie uecue, wuo lives among t tie old i.ivyer secietH, ruiiuini; Hwav from ttie light. Hulk !

He good-humored I y pushed Obenreizer out belore bitn; exUiiicuUaed. the taper, with a last fond glanc at hi clock which passed harm lessly over th regulator beneath; and closed the ouken door. At three the office was shut up. The notary and evtrjbodj in the notar's empiovmeut with one fxcepiioii, went to see the itfle-sbooting. Obenrcliser bad pleaded that be was uot in rjjhlta lor public Icitival. Nobody knew what had became ot hlni. It was believed th.it he bad slipped Bwtiy tor a solitary walk. lhe house and' offices had been closed but a few minutes, lieu the d( or of a shining ward robe, in the notary's sluuitie ronni, opened, and Ooenreizcr stepped out. Ho walked to a win dow, unclosed the shutters, satisfied himself that ho could Cfcape unseen by way of the ssrdrn, tun e I batik into th room, and took his place iu the notary's esy-cba!r. Ho was locked up in the house, Lnd there wore five hours to wait before eight o'clock came. He wore his way through the five bourn: sometimes reading Ibe books aud newspapers that, lny on the table, Fometrncs think ner, someMnirs walkinar to and fro. Butset came on. He closed the window shutter before be kindled a licht. The candle l'trht, and the time drawing nearer and nearer, he sat, watch iu hind, with his eyes ou the OHkeu door. Ateiciit, smoothly and softly and Silently the door opened. One afier another be read the names on tho outer lows of boxes. No such rauie as Ven dale ! lie removed the outer low ami looked at the row behind. These were older boxes, and sbsbbifr box"s. The four first that he examined were in cr bed with Frci ch nud German names. The filth bore a name which was almost illeiii hie. lie broueht it out into the room aad ex amined it closely. There, covered thickly wl'.h ttmestaius and dust, was the name "Von date." The key hnne to the box by a strm?. lie un locked the box. took out four loose paoers that were in it. spread them open on the table, and beean to read them. He had not so occupied a niinuoe, when hi3 face fell from i's expression of eogeiness atid aviditv, to one ot hsg'rard aston ishment aud disanpointment But, after a little consideration, he copied the papers. If? then replaced the pspers, replaced the box, closed the door, extinguished the caudle, and stole away. As his murderous and thievish footfall passed out of the garden, the steps of the notary and some one nccon pnnv'ng him stopped at the front door of the nouso. The lamps were lighted In tho little street, and the notary had bis door-key in his hand. "Pray do not pass my house, Mr. Bintrey," he ssid. "Do me the honor to come in. It is one of our town half holidays, our Tlr b people will be back direct!'. flron"that you should .skTO- wayto-tnVfi0tWf me! . cat and drink before you go there.-' "Thank you: not to night," said Biutrey. "Shall I come to you at ten to-morrow?" "I shall be enchanted, sir. to take so early an ODDortunitv of redressioe the wrongs of my in jured client," returned the good notary.
