THE STOSY OF
A TWENTY POUND HASK
NOTE.
'Will j'oti take clinrge nf twenty pounds
till to morrow morning, Mnrtin?'
Take charge of twenty pounds, Harold 1'
echoed my wife, in amazement. 'What do
you mean V
I settled myself down lo nn explanation.
Explanations are thing I hate, nevertheless
they are necessary sometimes. One was due
on this occasion.
'You know, my dear Martin,' I hegan,with
a btisincst-like air, 'that the failure of Hard
niro Brothers threw scores of men, women
and children in this neighborhood out of
work, in the very hardest part of a very bad
year. This evening a meeting was held with
a view of enlisting thesympathy of the pub
lie. A subscription list was got up, nnd a
collection made there and then to the tune
of twenty pounds. As nothing else could be
done with tho money to-night, I was as
treasurer, obliged to bring it home ;
nnd very nervous I felt' I can assure you, at
coming along these lonely roads with such a
sum. However, I have reached home safe
ly, in spite of my fears, and now I shall de
liver it over to you until I can get rid of
t.'
'And so free your mind from all responsi
bility,' added my wife, with a smile.
She knows that one of my chief weak
nesses is a dread of responsibility.
'As far at possible,' I replied.
Wo immediately went into a consultation
as to wbern tho money should be put, I
Mi rpeted the mpat-safe, as a place to which
thieved would never dream of going for
money, but my wife pnob-poohed the idea,
as well as several other suggestions of mine,
which I thought were not so bad.
At last nn idea, struck her in the shape of
the wine-drawer of Ihocupboard of the side
hoard. Ily this means the money would be
ioubly safe, she nrjued.for the drawer might
firtt be locked, In addition to locking the
door. I looked rather contemptuously on
the plan, for if tho truth bo told, I felt it was
only due to myself to do so, since my wife
treated every suggestion of mine in a simi
lar manner,
Roth nf ut failing tn hit upon anything
better, the wine bin was agreed upon ; and,
aa I looked over my evening paper, I watch
ed her place the black japanned box in tho
drawer, lock it, lock the side board, and
place the key in her own purse.
'There I' she exclaimed, triumphantly, 'I
shouldn't think any one would get at that
before to-morrow morning, for this purte
goes into the well of my dressing case to
night, aud that will he locked and the keys
put away in my dressing-table drawer, so
wo are doubly and trebly secure.'
In spite of these precautions there was a
load on my mind that I felt would only be
removed when the money was safe in tho
bank, I envied my wife her happy insensi
bility, for in less than half an hour she was
quietly sleeping, while I tossed restlessly to
and fro, thinking about the money, and
wondering whether any ono could possibly
get at it.
At last a grand idea struck me, which was
to put it ini-ide tho piano. Who would
dream of searchiug for treasure in such a
place ? Whereas, what robber coming into
a house would not go to n sideboard 7 and
tho very fact of tindiiig it doubly lucked
would make him suspect that something was
hidden there. Plainly enouuh, Mistress
Hariun, with all her cleverness, had chosen
the very worst place possible. Should I go
down and remove it ? I knew where the
keys were to be found, I had half u mind
to do so, if only for the sake of quieting
my mind and getting a little sleep. No
doubt I should have done so, had not a cir
cumstance intervened I fell asleep.
It seemed scarcely an hour afterward that
I awoke and heard soiinJs of life in the
street below, Well so far all was safe e nough,
no robber had molested us, aud I felt o
comfortable and easy now that all danger
was over, that I began to laugh at my nerv
ous fears. How stupid it would have been
to have gone down stairs in the middle of
such a bitter night ! Thank goodness, I had
been too strongmiuded for that,
I fell olT into another doze, and, as
natural consequence, was late fur breakfast,
That mial was a hurried one, and when it
was over and I had my coat and hat on,
ready to start off on an Important case, 1
remineded Marian of the money, and begged
of her lo get it out quickly,
'I had quite forgotten it I' she exclaimed
'Here Marian, run up stairs aud fetch my
pur.e outof my dressing case ; the keys are
in my dreeing table drawer.
Marian Hew up stars to do her mistress'
bidding, while I stood and chafed in the
bull and submitted to having my coat
brushed. In a moment ihe returned, bring'
( litf I til Mil If f Ifft
BLOOMSBUTIG, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10.
ing the purse, and Marian ran Ito the din
ing room. Two or three minutes passed, and
Marian was still fumbling about at the side
board, I entered tho room Impatiently,
Marian looked at me crossly.
This is quite too bad, Harold. What
have you dona with the box ?'
'Done with the box ?' I exclaimed j 'what
do you mean, Marian ?'
'I won't stand this trilling any longer,'
replied my wife. 'It's a shame to glvo me
tho responsibility of that money and then
leave mo like this ?'
'What on earth is tho woman talking
about ?' I crled.bewlldered. 'Say what you
mean In plaiti words, I beg.'
'The money's not here. It's gone, box
and all,' Marian replied, with a white
face.
'Gone 1' I cried, 'gone 1 Where's It gone, '
o'r who has taken it, I should like to know?
You must be raving. Let me come and
look.'
Marian moved aside and I knelt down to
the drawer. No sign of a box was there,
As my wife had said, the money was
gone.
Hut how, when, or where? The drawer
was locked, the cupboird wat locked, tho
dre'sing cae was locked, the purse was in
side it, tho keys In the dressing table draw
er. These things my wife and Martha were
suroof. A man placed in such a position is
bound to have an Idea on the subject and to
assert It, so I suggested that Martha mutt
be tho culprit.
'No, no, don't say that,' criod my wife,
excitedly. 'I'd as soon believe that I was
tho thief as she. I've known her all my
life. No, no, it isn't Martha.'
'You talk liko n child,' I replied, with an
air of superiority, for really women have no
reasoning powers whatever not even the
best nf them. "Can you suggest any one
else who by any possibility could have taken
the money?'
'Indeed I cannot,' Marian replied. 'It
could not bo a, housebreaker, for the locks
were jutt 9 I feft them j nothing had been
touched, apparently.'
'You admit that it could not bo any one
outside the house, so it must be Martha,that
it plain logic,' I said, with as much evenness
of temper at I could command at the mo
ment. 'It isn't Martha,' replied my wife, stub
bornly j 'I'll never believe it.'
For my part I felt sure that it was Mar
tha. And as It wat quite impossible that
she could easily recover it.
Rut sbo denied the charge so emphatically
that it was with a very anxious heart I be
took myself to the bedside of ray patient.
The case wat a complicated and peculiar
one, and my mind soon became so interested
in the progress of the various symptoms that
my, own caret becamo at things of nought.
After paying one or two minor visits I re
turned home. Martha opened the door and
immediately retired into the kitchen, with
out a word. Marian wa9 nowhere to be
found. I went up stairs in search of her.
She was not there, but a little table in the
corner, covered with writing materials, be
trayed her recent presence. An open letter
in a handwriting I knew and detested, at
tracted my attention. Husbands have cer
tain prerogatives. I atserted ono at that
moment and read the letter. If you can do
tho same, here it is ; if not, skip it :
"Dr.Ar. May' If you don't contrive to
sond tue ten pounds before this day week, it
will be ruination for me. If you Bend it you
will enable me to retrieve my former posi
tion, and become a credit to my famly.
Yours, affectionately,
FrtANi:."
'The young rascal ; what fresh mess has
he bsen getting into?' I exclaimed, angrily,
Tho same Frank had been the source of un
told squabbles between myself and Marian ;
holding a fairly good potition in the city for
an unmarrid man, and always getting into
debt.
Presently I heard Marian enter the hou'e.
With the letter in my hand I confronted
her. Sliotiirnol first whiteand then red, and
atked me by what right a gentleman enter
ed a lady's private room and read corres
pondence. I paid no attention to this high flown
lanzuage, but replied by asking her whether
she had been out to post a letter. She ad
inittcd she had.
'To Frank?' I inquired.
'I decline to say,' she replied, haught-
Hy.
'Containing money?' I asked.
"That I also decline to say,' she re
plied. Here was a pretty pass things had conio
to my own wife openly refusing to answer
my questions 1 I think any one else in my
plac would havo come to the samo conclu
sion as I did namely, that the letter was to
Frank, and that it contained money. A few
inquiries at the Post-office confirmed my
supposition. From the time of this dis
covery a cloud seemed to have settled over
the usually happy household. Marian was
sullen and angry, and sat at the head of the
table without speaking a word. Between
meal times I scarcely ever saw her. Martha
sided with her' mistress, and always looked
at me reproachfully,
In the meantime other cares were press
ing hard and fast upon me, In spite of a
rigid examination I could discover no clue
to tho lost money. Of course I bad been
obliged to make it good, and, jn order to do
this, had drained myself of every available
farthiug.
lheio events happened at a time of year
when it was impossible to call in many
outstanding d(bt3 ; so that after a while of
desperate struggle against our unfortune
circumstances, I was compelled, sorely
against my will, to appeal to my father. All
this while I had not been Inert about the
lost moriey, but bad hold several discussions
with a defective. A fear of incurring ad
ditional expense had deterred mefrom sit
ting him to work ; but as ho seemed to think
that lo ttace the money would be the easiest
thing in the world, I at last gave him au
thority to commence a strict investiga
tion. From the detective's 1 went to my father;
and plainly statiug the facts, asked him if
he woul d lend me the sum I bad lost. This
he agreed to do, and the conversation turned
ou family matters generally. The uuhappy
coolness which had arisen between myself
and Marian wat presently discussed, and
when uiy father taxed me with iiukindness
toward her, I felt bound to explain to him
Frank's demand, aud her resentment of my
interference.
My mother started up suddenly from a
fit of thinking and plied me with questions.
'Wat Marian the only person who had
access to the sideboard?'
'As far as I knew, the only person,' I re
plied, 'And did you say her letter to her broth
er Frank contained money ?'
'Yes a 1. 0. O. for ten pounds.
'Had she ten pounds of her own?'
'Not that I know of.'
'Was the'.likely to have saved It from her
allowance for housekeeping or private pur
pases ?'
'Very unlikely, Indeed.'
'Then,' my mother continued, 'it seems to
me that the nearer home you look for your
money the sooner you will find It,'
When I arrived home my mind was torn
and distracted by conflicting opinions. I
felt very anxious to discover some sign of
innocence, or, may be, guilt.
'Marian,' I said, as gently as I could,
whcrodld you get the money from that you
sent to Frank ?'
Sho started, and turned quickly round
upon me.
'How did you know I sent money to
Frauk ?'
'Never mind how I knew it,' I replied.
'Where did you obtain it ? You must an
swer me that question before you leave this
room,' I added, more sternly ; for her eva
sion of my question ditquieted me.
She looked at me steadily in tho face for
a minute, thcn.dropping her eyes and clatp
ing her hands tightly together, she ex
claimed :
'I see now the drift of your question. The
money wat lost at the same time that I sent
some to Frank. Harold, you suspect me
your own wife, of being the thief, and you
have sent that man (I saw ho wns.a detective
directly) to track mo out, and prove this
against me. Do you intend to send mo to
prison?
'Marian,' I answered, excitedly, 'when I
sent that man here, no such suspicion had
ever occurred to me, and now that I must
confess it has, ono word from you will dis
pel it ; or, if It should bo otherwise (here I
extended my hand to her, hut she flung it
from her), you have only to acknowledge it
to obtain my free forgiveness.'
'Your forgiveness 1' she added, haughtily,
'I do not need it,' and without another word
she left me.
For some minutes I remained stunned by
this new nspect of affairs. Could it be pos
sible that my Marian was guilty ? I would
never believe it. And yet she had not at
tempted to deny it. Again, the anxious
fsce she had lately worn, to-gether with oth
er circumstances of the case, served only to
confirm the Idea. Would that it had nbt
beeu so, or even being so, that she would
come to me for the reconciliation I was long
ing for and the forgiveness I was only too
anxious to bestow.
A day or two after this 1 found a note
awaiting mo when I returned home to din
her. Tho handwriting was Marian's, aud
my delight at seeing it was so great that I
kitted it again and again. Kagcrly I open
ed it and read it. It ran at follows :
'The society of a thief cannot be congen
lal. For that reason I have kent out of
your way till I had made up my mind what
to do. 1 shall not trouble you any more,
Ilaby and I have gone to my father. I know
you can claim baby if you like to do so, but
I think you will see that it is better for him
to he with me. Do not ask me to como back
I never can. The miserable life I have been
leading lately would soon have killed me,
and my life is precious to my child. Your
unhappy wife.
MAF.IAX.'
That wat all, except a few words at the
end that had been hastily scratched nut, of
which I could distinguish only, 'Oh, Har
old !'
Strange as it may sreni, this note did not
shock me at the discovery of Marian's guilt
had done. I felt so angry with her for her
unreasonable conduct that my tenderer feel
ings remained almost untouched. My love
for the Marian of former days had not de
creased one whit, hut my auger with the
p'e'eiit Marian was for tho moment para
wont. The child wat better with her, and
for the present sho should keep him, for I
had no idea of fetching her back. She had
lei. me through no uukindnest of my own,
and no wife could he justified in leaving her
husband in the way Marian had left me.
I wat beginning tn get a little accustomed
to my renewed bachelorhood, when one,
night, very late, a telegram was brought ine,
worded thua :
'Come at once to baby.'
The night train would leave in about an
hour's time. I packed a few things aud
started to catch it. In about three hours
more I wat conducted into the room where
Marian was sitting witli our little ono lying
In her lap, struggling hard for life. Some
medical man was already there, bending
over tho child and auxiously gaziug at its
contnrtrd and livid features, but, at far as I
could see, dol og but little to assist in the bat
tle against death, He left at once, and Ma
rian looked up into my face, and said :
'Thank God, you have come 1 He was
doing no good. Oh, Harold 1 save my ba
by ; save my child.'
'I will do what I can to save my child,' I
answered.
I called a servant and gave ray Instruc
tions. In a few minutes the room was filled
with vapor, every vent carefully guarded.
The cloud of vapor kept on steadily increas
ing, till diops of water began to trickle down
the walls. Still the child on Mariau'a lap
lay almost choked, its struggles growing
fainter each succeeding timo. The cloud
was still pouring out into tho room, aud
nothing more could be done, so I stood at
Marian's knee, watching for the approach of
some favorable symptom. Only once Ma
rian spoke, and thet it was to ask me with
blanched face and faltering lipt if there was
any hope.
'To the last moment, yes,' I answered.and
she was relieved at once, hardly compre
hend from my words how faint that hope
wat.
Presently the struggle grew more freouenl;
gradually the almott lifelesi limht became
imbued with fresh vigor, the heavy lids re
laxed, the gasps for breath became more ef
fectual, aud with a mighty eflort nature as
sertcd her sway, In u short time baby was
nestling peacefully In .Marian's arms, wrap-
pea in a sweet, lite-giving slumber.
When he was laid iu hit cot, his mother
turned to me and said pathetically :
tri. tr n .
un, uarom i wiieu uaDy was so near
death, and you fur away, I could not bell
seeiugbow wicked I had been to leave you
as I did. Will you forgive uie, dear, and
take me back, tor baby a sake ?'
1879.
I could only kiss her, and press her lo mv
heart. Alter a while I said :
'It was only thoso words, 'Will you for
give me?' that I wanted. If you would
have spoken them sooner, wo need never
have parted.
'Oh, Harold! how ran you? It was not
that I was asHng you tn forgive me, but my
folly in leaving you. I am at innocent of
taking that wretched money as my own
child, Won't you believe me ?'
'I do, my darling, I do,' I replied, with
genuine delight. 'I would havo believed
you then if you had said this to mo; but
you know you never deigned me a word.aud
what was I to think ?'
'I wat so horrified nt your evon suspecting
me that I fancied it was beneath mo to de
ny it. I cannot now understand whattcould
have prompted you to think such a dredful
thing of me. It Is very hard to bear.'
I was beginning to wonder, too, how 1
could have suspected my own Mnrlan. Cir
curattances'and my mother wero moro to
blame than I, however.
In answer, I murmured somethiug about
Frank.
'Ah, that letter to Frank, I remember it.
You were always so hard on him that I
didn't like to tell you about it. He really
had been trying to keep on steadily at the
post your kindness had obtained him, but
old debts were constantly coming in, and his
limited salary would not meet them and
keep him as well. There was one- man who
pressed him bard for .CIO. IIo had spent
has Inst quarter's salary within a pound or
two, and more would not bo coming for some
time. He wrote and told me this, asking me
to help him, but I could not. Ho wrote
again, and said be must draw on his salary,
but I begged him not to do bo, so soon, I
wat sure bit employers would think it a bad
sign. The man threatened to expose his
former habiu to the firm, which vou know
might have ruined him with them. I re
solved to help him this once, and in order
to do so sold my diamond brooch, which I
scarcely ever had occasion to wear. I got
10 for it, and I sent him notes to that
amount he little gues'ed at what cost,'
'My poor, persecuted, self-sacrificing lit
tle woman ; why did you not tell mo all
this? Why could you not trust mo ?'
'Why could you not trust me?' Marian
demanded, half playfully, half pathetically.
Then she added, earnestlg : 'I havo been
very much to blame. I wat proud and self
willed and all sorts of bad things, and then
leaving you was worso than all. Harold,
dear, I am so ashamed of myself for that1
No women is justified in leaving her hus
band on so slight a pretext as I had.'
I thought so too. She was becoming the
most sensible little women in the world!
but I had been to blame too, but I was not
going to let the magnanimity be all on her
side.,' We were both to blame,' I replied. I am
nntgoing to exonerate you quite, little wife,
but am going to own to my fault. I was a
brute to doubt you. Marian, you must lor
givo me, dear.'
'Oh, Harold 1 we shall be so happy again
now, shan't we ?' the little woman replied;
and then she wound up our reconciliation in
a truly womanly stylo, with tears and smiles
and kisses.
Iiut the mystery of the money was still
more dark after Marian's explanation, and
it was months before we penetrated it. We
did so at last, however.
Our piano being sadly in want of repair, I
sent ton piofesional man to como and 'do
it up.' I was in tho room when he proceed
ed to take it to pieces. As soon as the front
wat removed I perceived a little black box
snugly lodged inside, which I immediately
recognized. My grand idea now flashed in
to my mind. Hero, then, was the clue to
the mystery. I was the thief. In my anx
iety I had placed the money inside the pia
no, while still under the influence of sleep.
Marian was delighted. Sho actually sbed
tears of joy when I told her of my discove
ry. 'Ob, you abandoned man,' she said, shak
ing her head at me, 'to suspect mo when all
tho time you had stolen your own money 1'

Of the treatment ol political exiles In Si
beria, I have before me a thrilling descrip
tion from tho pen of Mr. Robert Lcmke, a
German writer, who has visited the various
penal establishments of Russia, with nn of
ficial legitimation. He had been to Tobolsk;
after which ho had to make a long, dreary
Journal (?) in n wretched car, until a high
mountain rose before him, In its torn and
crAggy flank the mountain showed a colossal
opening similar to the mouth of n burnt-out
crater. Fetid vapors, which almost took
away his breath, ascended from it.
Pressing his handkerchief upon his lips,
Mr. Lcmke entered the opening of the rock,
where ho found a large watch-house, with a
picket of Cotsacks. Having shown his pa
pers, he was conducted by a guide through
a long, very dark nnd narrow corridor.which
judging from its sloping descent, led down
into some unknown depth. In spite of his
good fur, tho visitor felt extremely cold
After a .walk of some ten minutes through
the denso obscurity, the ground becoming
more and more soft, a vague shimmer of
light became observable. 'We aro In the
mine 1' said the guide, pointing with a sig
nificant gesture to tho high iron cross-bars
which closed the cavern before them.
The massive bars were covered with a
thick rust. A watchman appeared, who un
locked the heavy iron gato. Entering a
room of considerable extent, but which was
scarcely a man's height, and which was
dimly lit by nn oil lamp, the visitor asked:
'Where are we ?' 'In thn sleeping room of
the condemned I Formerly it wat a product
ive gallery of the mine, now it serves at a
shelter,'
The visitor shuddered, This subterra
nean sepulchre, lit by neither sun nor moon,
wat called a sleeping-room. Alcove-like
cells were hewn into tho rock ; here, on a
couch of damp, half-rotten straw, covered
itli a sackcloth, the unfortunate sufferers
were to repose from the day's work. Over
each cell a cramp-iron was fixed, wherewith
to lock up the prisoners like ferocious dogs.
No door ; no window anywhere.
Conducted through another passage, where
few lantera were placed, and whose end
wat also barred by an iron gafe, Mr, Lerake
came to a large vault, partly lit. This was
thn mine. A deafening noise of pickaxes
and hammers. There ho saw some hundreds
of wretched figures, with shaggy bcards,sick
ly faces, reddened eyelidt, clad in tatters,
Borne of them barefoot, others in sandals,
fettered with heavy foot chains. No song,
no whistling. Now and then they shyly
looked at the visitor and his companion.
Tho water dripped from the stones ; the tat
ters of the convicts were thoroughly wet.
One of them, a tall man of suflering mien,
labored hard Willi gasping breath, but the
trokes of his pickaxe were not heavy and
rm enough, to loosen the rock.
'Why are you here V Mr. l,euike asked.
The convict looked confused, with an air
almost of consternation, and silently con
tinued his work.
It is forbidden to the prisoners,' said the
inspector, 'to speak of the cause of their
banishment 1'
I.ntombed alive ; forbidden to say why 1
'Hut who is tho convict ?' Mr. Lemko
asked the guide, with low voice.
'It is number 113 1' the guide replied, la
conically.
'This I see,' answered the visitor ; 'but
what are tho man's antecedents ? To what
family doe3 he belong ?'
tie It a count,' replied the guide ; a well-
known conspirator. More, I regret to say,

The visitor felt as if he were stifled in the
grave-like atmosphere as if his chest were
rested m by a demoniacal nightmare. Ho
hastily asked hit guide to return with him
to tho upper world. Meeting tho comman
der of the military establishment, he was
obligingly asked hy that officer.
'Well, what impression did our penal es
tablishment make upon you ?'
Mr. Limke stiflly bowing in silence, the
officer -teeme I to take this at a kind of satis
fied assent, and went on.
