They were known to bo in a slnto of chronic irnpeounioa Ity, and yit, somehow or other, thoy contrived to show a bold front to tho world. Their pretty rivcrnido villa at Twickenham was furnished luxarious ly. Captain Vallitoit, who had re tired from tho service toino years be fore, drovo n dashing mail phrcton nnd pair and Mrs. Vallctort was .0110 of tlio best dieted women in London. How It was dono no onu knew, Capt. Vallttort dabbled on tho stock ex change, atid was onu of tho best escarto players going, but neither of theso sources of income was likely to altord him the means of gratifying his very expensive tnstcs. Mrs. Vallctort had no privato foiltinc, but she, too, spent r grent deal of money, although sho was always lolling her friends bIio was (I ic.nl hilly nam up, for Jidwartl had niado soveral iiiifortuuato speculations latelv, etc., etc. Still in spito of this, the impecunious Iiair lived in good style and were an parcntly procperous. ll.ey wore in debt of course, but by Homo unknown means they kept their creditors and duns at bay. They did not entertain much, but as Mrs. Valletort was ex tremely pritly, and her hiirbatid had tho knack of makiog himself agree able in society and niado it a inlc fever to borrow money of his friends tho Valh torts wero a good doal in re quest at dinners and dances during tho season. People wero always glad to see them, for their light-hearted, semi Uoliennan iravety was wondertully in fectious, and no dinner party nt which they were present ever went off badly. Uantain Vallctort was, besides, ex tremely popular at his club the Bavonpt : and Charles Kenton, of tho guard.-), was in tho habit of sayinc that ho would rather lose monoy to JNcd Vallctort than to any man lie knew. It was" fortunato ho took that view of tho matter for the unhappy youth very often roso a very heavy loser when tho captain employed his talents against h'in i and it was equally fortunate that tho latter posesrd tho difficult art of winning gracefully, for ecarlo was his principal means of bringing grist to tho mill, and many men less pluloso phio than young Fonlon might have declined to try their luck against sucl: skill as his. had it not been for the pleasant, good humored, nonohalnr.t way in which tho captain pocketed tho winnings. Ono morning tho husband and wife were seated at breakfast, when tho captain looked up f-udilenly from a newspaper he was carelessly readinsr, and said with sudden eagerness, as his oye caught an announcement among tho "deaths :'' "Jly dear, wasn't Lady Araminta Belchambro a godmother of yours V 'Yes but why do you ask '!" "She's dead died at Mentono o week ago." Mrs. Valletort clasped her hands, and her eyes brightentd. "O, Ned 1 I wonder if if sho has left tne anything. I can't pretend to bo sorry sho is dead,1' sho added, half apologetically,"because she was ever so old, and I haven't seen lur since I was a child." "Jly dear Lilla, don't think that I expected you to dissolve into tears at the news," he interrupted with a short lauuli. "Wo always agroo to be candid with each other. You didn't caro a straw for Lady Araminta living, but if sho has rcaliy dono her duty as a godmother by putting you down in her will for a handsome sum, 1 am qnito willing that you should get up any amount of enthusiasm for her virtuo. I3ut, sciiously, do you think it likely sho has dono sot'' "I think it just possible, tho may,' said Jlrs. Valletort, looking thought fully nt the tlowcrs on tho table. " wish I had wiilten lo her ofiener." "It is no good regretting anything of that sort now, my dear. We shall probably hear in a day or two from her solicitorsthat h. it you aro really down for a legacy." "it will bo a wonuerltil piccool luck if I am," remarked his wife, stirring her coffee thoughtfully. "Wo aro dreadfully short of money just now." Captain Valletc rt assented. "Do von think wo could lane any thing on my expectations!" said Lilla, ookintr up brictiy. "I am afraid not.

Valletort was usually tlio most docile of wives ; but sho resented her husband's angry words, and was trebly etcrmined to hold her own in this matter. Tho captain saw that it would bo useless to arguo with her, so ho turned away with a half contemptuous shrug of tho shoulders, and a muttered anathema on tho folly of women in general and of his spouso in particular. it was really too bad ot Lilla; a tow thousand pounds would havo set him on his financial feet again. in due course, arter tho numerous lelays inevitable in all legal nutters, Jlrs. Valletort came into possession of her legacy. Iiy her husbind's advico sho had a safe constructed for tho dia monds in her dressing-room, and tho dingy leather cases containing the jewels wero at onco consigned to this repository.

Valletort created quite a sensation. Tlio story of her grand mother s costly bequest had got out about, and every ona was anxious to sec tlio celebrated Uelchambro dia monds.

Sho enjoyed herself immensely, quite ignorant ot tho tact thai her husband looked unusually morose, not to sav sulky, as sho whirled past him iadiant in the jewels he secretly coveted. CteditorB pushed tho gallant captain lo desperation, and ho mado one last appeal to his wife but without success, "I refu&Q to part with my diamonds," sho said coldly; "it is unfair of yon to ask me to mako such a saenhce. "Very well, my deai: then the do lngo must come, replied the captain quietly. Ho turned and left tho room. Tho captain did not alludu to tho liamonds again, and things went on much ns usual at tho Laurels. Hut Jlrs. Valletort grow nervous and fret ful, and took to sitting a good deal in her dressing room.
