Van Cleef ?' in a nervom, anxious voice, was asked by n well fed, well clothed, close-cropped young fel low of llie liotel clerfc. 'Ah ? what name ?' demanded that ele- (ant functionary, not because he had not heard perfectly well, but lo find time to lounge over the ten feet intervening between himself nml the letter boxes. The name was repeated in a sharp, quick tone. 'No, nothing.' Tlenc look in C." The clerk started; wondered what was up; reflected that the new comer had brnnght but little haggnge ; mentally resolved to keep an eye on him ; shulrled over the let ters in the 'C box; shook his head, and then relapsed into an arm chair overcome by the exertion. Frank took the elevator, let himself into his room, lit a cigar, reflected, nnd then swore. Eight years in Europe, home at last, sum mer well under tho way, a fair Inheritance, principally in Chicago property and a fair prospect of being independent of his brush the rest of his life such were the time nnd circumstances tinder which ho found him self. Nothing to swear at in that. Hut a moderate wine bill, the tips to the waiters and a bad run of luck at the pools, made upon tho miles run in each twenty four hours on the voyage over, had exhaust ed the gold remaining in his pocket after he bad paid bis passage money. His lawyers and the executors of his late aunt Miranda's estate, had been instructed, however, by the previous mail to remit money to him at the Ilrnnswick, so that was a matter of no mo ment. Hut the remitlatico had not arrived. Most of his baggage hail been expressed to Chicago from the hold of the big Cunarder, and in it tho address of his new lawyers. 'My lawyers, sound wel1,' he reflected, 'but I wish to the deuce they would send me some money.' Tuesday came but with it no letters. It became annoying, tut still he could wait Presently he went out for a stroll, found it warm, and cursed the luck Hint kept him from getting away from the heat and dust to Newport, where he was to join some friends with whom he had speut the winter in Rome. Entering the hotel the clerk handed him a letter. Ah 1 money at last. No ; it was a note addressed in an Anglo Itoston hand, 'Dear Mr. Van Cleef: 'Come nnd dine with us to night. We saw your arrival in the l'artha's passenger list in the mnriiing paper, and are anxious to know how you are going to spend the summer. Come at 7, Dining by sunlight is like 'playing tea.' so we eat lute. Yours, sinceiely, Maiiii:. 'No. 21 West Hth street.' Now, who the j Marie, Marie I don't know any Marie, especially any Ma rie who is particularly interested in me, and who writes a charming note, saying things which with woman pass for wit, and, smelling the paper, 'who uses extract of violet liberally. Well, I'll be sure to go ; it may divert my mind from my pecuniary embarrassment. I'll have to make a clean breast of it to tho clerk soon, and probably be arrested for a swindler, A man who ex pects remittances and don't know his law yer's address, who has no baggage and wants money to get to Chicago with, looks liken sublimely cheeky confidence man.' 'Evening dress ; claw hammer coat, etc, but no gloves, no ties j why money is a momentary necessity, by Jove ?' said Frank as he took these articles from his trunk. I can't go to dinner nnd find out my un known friends if I don't have gloves. Oh, if there was only n Mont de Pielo in New York by Jove, Simpson's I I will rise and go unto my uncle aud say unto, 'Uncle, lend uie $10.' Frank laughed and then grew sober again, There was a sense of degradation in tht mere Idea, Then, with a shrug, and taking out a box of jewelry, none of it ex pensive he turned it over. 'Hello, here's just the thlug,' be thought, as ho took out a locket. It was un old nf. fair, a cameo, with the head nf tho Savior on It. Around it curled a golden serpent with brilliantly enameled scales and a pair of 'pigeon's blood' ruby eyes, Frank had picked it up in a little shop in London just before be sailed for home. It was one of the fancies in which he had begun to In dulge himself when ho received tho first re mittance from his new lawyer and new prop erty. 'Tills baublo Is principally accountable for my being short of money,' he thought. 'I will make It remember me.' On the back of the quaint old locket were tho initials V. 1). V. nnd below them 'M. E.' There bad been a picture on It once, but there was lelt only tho marks of tho knifo with which It had been pried out. It was growing lale, and calling a hack Frank jumped in and told tho driver to tako him to tho New Court House. Arrived there he told the driver to wait, passed through tho building and out the other door, walked briskly to Simpson's, hesitated a moment, bolted in the door and in a moment stood in a box nt tho counter, where a poor woman was pawn ing some clothing lor fond. Frank shud dered, drew out the locket and laid it down, A dark man took it up, looked at It, turn ed It over, scrutinized the Initials, tested tho gold on a rorner, and said laconically : 'How much ?' Ten dollars.' Tho man turned away, mado out the tick et, handed Frank the money nnd ills du plicate ticket, and turned to the next com er. With .iBigh nt the atmosphere of misery hanging nround the place, from tho dark corners of which the hollow faces of the specters of want and starvation seemed leer ing nt him, Frank passed quickly out ot the door, regained his cab, said to the driver : 'Ilrnnswick quick I' and rolled away. II. Two little red lips quivered perceptibly, and two big black eyes with tears. To bo hungry absolutely, unpoetically and prac tically hungry vas a novel experience lo Ilessie Prang. To be hungry in a fashiona ble lodging house with plenty down stnirs in a well filled larder and cool and pleasant dining room, was absolutely absurd. Sitting In a pretty room, amid a mass of pretty feminine knick knacks and bric-a-brac,hear-ing tho rattle of knives and forks come tip on tho air from the lunch tables below, and yet be hungry was positively maddeningly incongruous,' she thought. To be sure there was no reasons why she should not have gone to the land-lady and explained her situation and been sure of proper treatment, but they bad been in tho house but a few days, nnd had been taking their meals out at neighboring restaurant. Here's mother had been called nwny to visit a sick sister who was HI, and she had left her little girl alone, not without misgivings, and the night before liessic had lost her purse or had her pocket picked coming from dinner ; at any rate it was gone, and with it the money which was to have bought her fond for tho next two days. A practical woman would have done the obvious thing and interview ed her land-lady. Hut I!esio was even more than most women sensitive about go ing to strangers when in trouble, especially about money matters, and feared toencount er suspicion, and nt lunch time was raven ously hungry. What a etir-e a good appe tite is at times I Then it occurred to her that she had heard her cousin Tom joke about his 'Uncle,' and that ho was alluding to a pawn-broker. What a homed thing a pawn-broker must bo? A kind of cross be tween a Shylock and a Fagin, she thought, and they would ogle her perhaps. Oh, no ! she would starve before she would go there. Hut as the afternoon wore on and hunger increased, and with it her perplexity, she began to cry. Hut crying don't help mat ters nny ; on the contrary the pangs of hunger increased, aud with them her deter initiation to llnd her cousin Tom's Uncle. She resolved that no one hhould know of her perplexity but herselfnot even 11111111111,1, nor of her visit to the pawnbroker's never that.' From tinder :i mass nf ribbons and laces, artificial flowers and dainty lace handker chiefs, tumbled in a bureau-drawer, she fished nut a small box, and took from it a queer old locket. It was a carved head of Christ, surrounded by abrilliautly enameled snake with ruby eyes, and ou tho back the initials M. E., and underneath, V. I). V. 'Poor old grandma ; how horrified you would be if you only knew, nnd hadn't been dead these ten years I' sho said tn herself softly, as she put the locket hack into its place, and ran down stairs in the late sum mer afternoon. It was along walk down Uroadway, the pavements were hot and corched her feet, her face grew Hushed with exertion.her black hair clung damply to her white forehead Ilesldes,she was weak from long fasting. She thought at last that she did not know where sho was going, but she mustered up courage to ask a policemen. He eyed her curiously, and told her civilly enough where to go. Hot waves of crimson dyed her lace and neck as she pas-ed in at the door way under the trio of golden balls and stood at the counter. She heard a poor woman nexther refused the amount she begged for on an old shawl. It was moth-eaten, and they did not want it at any price. 'Then a voice said : 'Well, Miss?' She produced the locket. 'How much V aftern hurried examination she was relieved to see that the man took her novel situation cooly enough, nnd sho spoke for the first time. 'len dollars, please. The money was counted out, she bestow ed $1 of it ou the poor womnn whno shawl had been rejected and who stood in a dned way on tbo sidiwalk, escaped from her thanks into a Fourth avenue car, nnd was soon bathing In her cool room, and forget ful, now that she had money, of her hung er. Just then a noto reached her. 'Dl'aukst Unft!U : Ho come over and dine. Fred and I are in town a day or two. In haste, thine. Maiiiii. 'No. 2S West Forty-fourth street.' 'Put money in thy purse' and thou shalt be invited to dinner,' thought Hessie, as she mentally resolved to goat onco to her old school fellow and her husband. III. 'Mr, Van Cleef.' said the saino servant opening the door of tho drawing-room of No. 2S West Fortli-fuurtb street and Frank was ushered into the cool rooms and tbo prexeuceof u tall, fine-looking man, whom lie had never seen before In his life, n blonde matronly little woman ,thnt's Marie,' he thought and n charming girl in whlte.wlth great black eyes, and a mass of soft, black hair rolled upon the small, clean cut head For n moment the sight was cmbarasslng. Then Mr. Francklyu stepped forward, nnd Frnnk said : 'Thero seem to hn somo mlslnke ; I have a namesake somewhere.' 'Oh, no ; wo are cousins to your lale Aunt Miranda, who just made you her legatee, and as you hnvo come home at last wo mean now that you are here, to mako you accept a cousin's place In our house and our friend ship,' said Mr, Francklyu, It is enough to say that the dinner was perfect, the hostess charming, tho host n jol ly good fellow and Hessie so bewitching that Frank was In love over bend nnd ears before the dinner was finished. The letter from 'my lawyers' was nt tho lintel when Frnnk returned, covered wilh tho postmarks of half tho 'New lirunswlck' In tho country, among which It had travelled while lie was waiting for It nt the Hottl llrutiswlck. The last murmur llie mnde as ho dropped off to sleep was, 'Found an 'un cle,' two cousins nnd and' ' and he was dreaming of a black eyed girl lu whito in another minute. IV. The phlegmatic clerkjat the pawnbroker's turned over two lockets apparently just alike and examined them curiously, then put them back in their wrappers and in the pale. Tho next day both lockets wcro redeemed. They thought it curious at the moment, but odd things are of dally occurrence In the office of n pawnbroker, tho theater of tho daily tragedy of woo and wnnt, poverty, hunger nni dirt. Frank looked nt tho locket when he reach ed his Hotel, it was the same. There wss tho little bright spot where the pawnbroker's ncid had touched the corner of the casp, but the rest was the same exactly. No bo rub bed his eyes whereas when be took tho locket to the pawnbroker the initials on the case had read : v. 1). v. Of this hn was perfectly sure ; yet ; hero now, they were plainly reversed, aud read : si. n. v. n. v. lie puzzled over it sonio time. Then be went down in a car and demttided of the pawnbroker an explanation. The man Old hun of the two lockets, exactly alike, left within an hour of eacli othpr on the precd- ngd.iy, each pledged for $10, each redeem ed in the morning, and explanations how they must havo been changed, Tho young man hoped tbnt there was no harm done, remembered that the other locket wrs left by a 'young woman ;' really didn't rem m'i- er that she looked like, nnd then vent buck to his work. Frank returned homepuz.U-d. It really didn't matter; it was only achancu purchase of a unique trille in jewelry; ho hadn't tho remotest idea whose the initials were, hut he was superstitious about it, and it troubled him. That tho locket had a louhle in New York thero could bo no loubt. nnd so Frank resolved not to tell the story, but to wear it on his watch chain, in the hope sometime to nttrack the attention of some one who could solvo the mystery. 'Mamma,' cried Iiessie the next day, when her confession made, she had redeemed the piecious locket and was examining it,'Mum ma, this is not my locket. This is the other one. 1 ins is poor grandma s gage d nmour to her faithless lover eomc back to her grandchild ; see, sep,' s-ho rattled 011 in wild excitement. Mrs. Prayne looked sharply, saw the reversed initials, and was as excited in a moment as Hesse. Cousin Tom was Hip itched to the pawnbroker's for informa tion. He learn;d but little more than Frank, and so the mystery was talked of and speculated upon for the next week. Grandma's love storv was told over nnd over. lirielly it was this : Mary Emerson and Van Dyko edder were lovers years before. Tliey exchanged lockets made for them. Vedder went sailing away nut into the West and married, leaving grandma, then young, prtt ty, to soon console hen-elf with another lov er and husband. She always kept the lock et and ,1 warm spot in her heart, as every woman does for the man whom she once loved. Hut she never saw or heard of him again in life. Hessie received her blessing, her Utile fortune, and the precious locket from grandma on her death-bed. And now, after fifty years and without a clow, the lockets wero changid by some mysterious agency. VI. Two months Infer Hessie nnd Frank mot again at the FrancWyns' pretty house at Newport. They had both forgotten the lockets, nnd soon forgot tho world in each other. Ono summer evening Hessie promised to be ids wife, and, as soon as two littlo white arms went up arouud his neck, Frank was guilty of most unconventional proceeding, He actually was surprised out of taking im mediate advantage of his newly acquired privileges. Among the lace about Hefio't neck rested tbo other locket. The love tokens still. Hesslo told her grandmother's little ro mance, and tbo iuitlals were explained to hr.ink, who exclaimed, almost with awe 'Van Dyke Vedder, the faithless lover o your grandmother, Mary Emerson, was my grandfather.'
