turns away and picks np a book.
My brother George" is his aversion, and
the torment and trouble of Lis wife's family ;
always in difficulties, no sooner re.' cued from
one scrape, than rushing headlong into an
other ; sometimes invisible for months, and
suddenly re-appearing to levy contributions
on any relative able or willing to assist him.
Mark Las seriously contemplated forbidding
his visits; but then Fanny is so tender-hearted,
and cherishes such a kindly belief in the
prodigal's ultimate reformation, that her hus
band has not yet mustemd sufficient firmness
to enforce his wishes, although he knows
where his wife's brooch went, and why she
wears that old velvet bonnet. Fanny secus
to guess what is passing in his mind, by her
coming softly to his eide, and stroking his
hair, and pressing her ltps to his forehead,
but neither of them say anything, and Mark
leisurely prepares for his task of copying.
While he has gone up stairs to fetch hi3 pa
pers, she lights an extra candle, and ensconces
herself in a corner with her work-table, re
gretting as she does so, that her ,: poor boy"
must be bored with this odious writing when
Le ought to be restiDg. ITowever. Mark soon
comes down the stairs, three steps at a time,
to ask, rather angrily, why she has moved his
packet without mentioning it. With aston
ishment in her looks, his wife denies Laving
done so, and hurries with him to the spare
bed-room, asserting her belief that he has
overlooked the parcel. Not a thing is out of
its place. The old escroitre stands as they
left it, the lock had not been tampered with,
nor was the secret drawer open ; and there,
undisturbed, lie the love letters ; but the small
brown paper parcel, tied with pink tape, and
sealed with the official teal, is gone !
The husband, svispcctiDg Le knows not
what, looks almost sternly at his wife, whose
auswericg glance is confused and full of ter

those I can cot. Tell me at once where they
are."
" Indeed, Mark, I know no more about
them than you do yourself. They must be
here ; perhaps they have slipped behind the
drawer."
Although next to impossible, the chancs is
not overlooked. Ilaimer and chisel is soon
fetched, and the back of the escroitre is
soon knocked out, leaving no nook or cranny
whv-rc the smallest paper could remain unper
ceived. Almost beside himself, Mark leads his wife
down stairs, and commences questioning her,

besides, as she ventures to remind him, the
locks have not beeu forced, nor is aught else
missing, as would have beea the case if thieves
had entered the house. In uncontrollable
acitation, the bewildered young man paces
the room, while Fanny, unable to proffer ad
vice, or any reasonable conjecture, watches
him in trembling silence.
Suspicions crowd in upon his mind ; hints
given before his marriago about Fanny Rob
ert's brother, and regrets uttered, even with
in his hearing, that a respectable young mao
like Mr. Edwards should lower himself by
such a connection, are suddenly remembered
and dwelt upon. He pauses before his wife,
and sternly demands what errand had brought
that brother of hers to his house. That bro
ther of hers ! What a speech ! All Fanny's
sisterly feelings are in arms, and she falters,

a tap at the door announces a visitor, and that

Roberts eyes close involuntarily.
A footstep overhead startles them. " It
is only Mark," says Fanny, after a moment's
listening. " Poor fellow, I wish he had slept
longer."
In the modern six roomed house every
sound is distinctly audible, aud they hear him
enter the chamber where stands the now shat
tered escroitre. After a fdiort puss, Le is
heard slowly descending the stairs, and his
wife raises herself from her reclining position,
and smoothes her disordered hair.
As he enters the room, Mr. Roberts lays
his bauds on his daughter's arm " Look,

with astonishment that her husband is fast
asleep, and holds iu one hand the bundle of
old love letters.
