TILE DEAD SECRET.
The day and night had passed, and the new
morning had come, before the husband and wife
could trust themselves to speak calmly of the
secret, and to fame resignedly the , duties and the
it imposed on sacrifices which the discovery of
them. •
Leonard's first question referred to those lines
in the letter, which Rosamon had informed him
were in a handwriting that she knew. Finding
that he was at a lobe to understand what means
she could bays of forming an opinion on this
point, she explained that, after Captain Trevor
ton's death, many letters bad naturally fallen in-
I to her po•seasion which had been written by Mrs.
Treverton to her husband. They treated of ordi
nary domestic subjects, and she had read them
often enough to become thoroughly acquainted
with the peculiarities of Mrs. Treverton's hand
writing.' it wits remarkably large, Grm, and
masculine in character, and the addregs, the line
under it, and the uppermost of the two signatures
in the letter which had been found in the Myrtle
Room, exactly resembled it in every particular.
The next question related to the body of the
, letter. The writing of this ; of the second sig.
nature, ("Sarah Leeson,") and of the addition
al lines of the third page, also signed by Sarah
Leesen, proclaim.-.I itself in each case to be the
production of the same person. While stating
that fact te her husband, Rosamond did not for
get to explain to him that• while reading the
, letter en the previous day, her strength and
courage had faded tier befone •be got to the end
of it She added that the postscript which she
had thus rn tied ...eead. was of importance, he
cau.se it we n d the circumstances under which
the secret had been hidden; and begged that he
would list. n while she made him acquainted with
its eontents without any further delay.
Sitting se close to his side, now, as if they
were enj..ying their first honeymoon-days over
again, she read these last lines—the lines which
her mother bad written sixteen years before, on
the morning when she fled from Porthgenna
Tower
" If this pit. should ever be found, (which
I pray with my whole heart it never may be,) I
wish to state that I have come to the resolution
of hiding it, because I dare not sho* the writing
that it contatus to my master, to whom it is
addressed. In doing what I now propose to do,
though I am acting against my mistress's last
wishes, I am not breaking the oedema engage
ment which she obliged me to make before her
on her (blabbed. That engagement forbids me
to destroy this letter, or to take it away with me
if I leave the house I shall Jo neither—my
purpose is to eonceal it in the place, of all others,
where I think there is least chance of its ever
being found again Any hardship or misfortune
which may follow as a coneequenee of its deceit
ful
proceeding en my part, will fall on myself.— '
Others, I believe, on my conscience, will be the
happier for the hiding of the dreadful secret
which this letter contains "
" There van be no doubt, now." maid Leonard,
when his:wife had read to the end; "Mrs. Jazeph,
Sarah Leeson, and the servant who disappeared
from Porthgenna Tower, are one and the same
person."
o Poor mature!" said Rosamond, sighing as
she put down the letter "We know now why
she warned n.e so anxiously not to go into the
Myrtle Room Who can say what she must
have suffered when she came as a stranger to my
bed side? Oh, what 'mil rtuit give if I had
been less hasty with her! It is dreadful to re•
member that I spoke to her es a servant whom I
expected to obey me; it is worse still to feel that
I cannot, even now, think of her ass child should
think of a mother Flow can I ever tell her that
I know the secret? how—" She paused, wi •
heart-sick consciousness of the slur that was cam
on her birth, she paused, shrinking as she thought
of the name that her husband had given to her,
and of her own parentage, which the laws of

"Perhaps, Rosamond, I over-rate the courage

it will be a hard sacrifice of my own feelings to
make strangers partakers in the knowledge of the

Rosamond looked at her husband in astonish,

Rosamond nestled eloper to her husband's side.

The door opened fur the second time, and there
appeared, modestly, on the tineabold, a little old
man, with may cheeks and long white hair. A
small leather sass was slang by a steep at his
side, and the stem of a pipe peeped oa of the
breast-pocket of hie oast. He advanced one step
into the room, stepped, raised both his bands
with his felt hat crumbled ap is them to his heart,
and made Ere fantastic bows is 2niek enoessaion
—two to Mrs. Frankland, twb or her husband,
and one to Mrs. Franklaad again, as an act of
separate and special homage to the Indy. Never

" Pray consider, Mr. Busehmann, that our

her usual frankness, "in hearing anything that
you have to tell us. You are the person of all
others whom we are, just at this time—."—
She stopped, feeling
_her foot touched by her
husband's, and rightly interpreting the action as
warning not to spea k too unrestrainedly to the
visitor before he had explained his object in com
ing to the house
Looking very much pleased, and a little sur
prised also, when he heard Rosamond's last words
Uncle Joseph drew a chair near to the table by
which Mr. and Mrs. Primal/tad were sitting,
crumpled yii.f.elt hat up smaller than ever and
pot it in one of his side pockets, drew from the
other a little packet of letters, placed them on
his knee as ho sat down, patted them gently with
both hands, and entered es hie- explanation in
these terms:
"Madam and good sir," be began, "before I
CM] say comfortably my little word, I must, with
your leave, travel backwards to the last time
when I came to this house in company with my
niece."
"Your niece!" exclaimed Rosamond and Leo
nard, both speaking together.
- "My niece, Sarah," said Uncle Joseph; "the
only child of my sister, Agatha. It is for the
lore of Sarah, if you please, that I am here now.
She is the one last morsel of flesh and Mood that
is left to me in the world. The rest—they are
all gone! My wife, my little Joseph, my broth•
or Max, my sister Agatha, and the husband she
married, the good and noble Englishman, Lee
son—they are all, all gone!"
"Leeson!" said Rosamond, pressing her hus
band's hand significantly under the table
"lour niece's name is Sarah Leeson?"
Uncle Jisseph sighed and shook his head
"One day," he said, "of all the days in the year
the evilmoet for Sarah, she changed that name..
01 the man she married—who is dead, now,
madam—it is little or nothing that I know but
this: His name was Jaseph, and he used her ill,
for which I think him the First Scoundrel! Yes,"
exclaimed Uncle Joseph, with the neire:t app
proach to anger and bitterness which his nature ,
was capable of making, and with an idea that he
was wing one of the strongest superlatives in
the language—" Yes! if be was to come to life
again at this very moment of time, I would say
it to him to his face: Englishman Joseph, you
are till First Scoundrell"
Rosamond pressed her husband's bard for the
second time. If their own convictions had not
already identified Mrs. Jaseph with Sarah Lee
son, the old man's last words must have amply
sufficed to assure them that, both names had been
borne by the same person.
"Well, then, I shall now travel backwards to
the time when I was here with Sarah, my niece,"
resumed Uncle Joseph. "I must, if you please,
speak the truth in this business, or, now that I
am already backwards where I want to be, I
shall stick fast in my place, and get no more for
the rest of my life. Sir and good madam, will
you have the great kindness to forgive me and
Sarah, my niece, if I oonfess that it was not" to
see the house that we tame here, and tang at
the bell, and gave a deal of trouble, and wasted
much breath of the big majordomo's with the
scolding that we got. It was only to do one curious
little thing, that we came together to this place,
or, no, it was all about a secret of Sarah's which
is still as black and dark to me u the middle of
the blackest and darkest night that ever was in
the world; and, as I nothing knew about it ex
cept that there was no harm in it to anybody or
anything, sad that Sarah wee determined to go,
and that I °add not let her go by herself; as
also for the good resson,that she told me she had
the best right of anybody to take the letter and

of its being found if kegler in that room she left

it sadden and turn away from him, after he bad
spoken his last words. "Are you sorry, madam,

voice.
"I pity her with my whole heart," said Ross'
mond warmly.
"And with my 'whole heart for that pity I

that many more would pass again, and I tried
to make her stop with me to the very last. But
she had still the same fear to drive her away—
the fear of being found out mid put to question

mine) and the grief at her heart,(and at mine,)
she went away to hide herself in the empty big.

up all people and all things that pour into it, and
which has now swallowed up Sarah, my niece,
with the rest: 'My child, you will write some

ed me, will write often.' It is three weeks
now since that time, and here, on my knee are
four letters she has written to me. I shall ask
your leave to put them down open before you,
because they will help me to get on farther yet
with what I must say, and because I see in your
face, madam, that you are indeed sorry for Ss.

kissed them one by one, and put them down in

fully with his band, sod taking great pains to
arrange them in a perfectly straight line. A

Room

sepb. "But if you will look through them first,
malain, I can tell you after, all the rexsos for
showing them that I have."
The old man was right. There wail very lit
tle t 1.,re311 in the letters. and they grew progres-
, ively shorter as they became more recent in
date All four were written in the formal, con
ventionally correct style of a person taking up
the pen with a tear of making mistakes in spell
ing and grammer. and were equally destitute of
any personal partieulars relative to the writer;
all four anxiously entreated that Uncle Joseph
would not be uneasy, inquired after his health,
and expressed gratitude and love for him as
warmly as their timid restraints of style would
permit; all four contained these two questions
relating to Rosamend:—First, bad Mrs Frank
land arrived yet at Porthgenoa Tower? Second
ly, if she had arrived. what had Uncle Joseph
heard about her? And, finally, 'all four gave
the same instruction* for addressing in answer:
"Please direct to me, 'S J., post office, Smith
street. London"'—followed by the same apolo
gy, "Excuse my not giving my address, in case
in accidents. for even in London I am still afraid of
being followed and found nut I send every
morninc f•ir IP••er-. -0 T am sure to get your

"I told von, nvi•litm 31.1 the uld man, when
Rosamond raised her hea from the letters,"that
I was frightened an sorry jfor Sarah when she
left ine. Now see, if you please, why I get more
frightened and more sorry yet, when I bare all , 1
the four letters that she writes to me. They
begin here, at the first, at my left hand; and they
grow shorter, and shorter, and shorter as they
get bearer to my right, till the last is bat eight
144 lines Again, see, if you please. The
writing of the first letter here, at my left band,
is very fine—l mean it is very fine Co me, be
cause I love Sarah, and because I write very bad
ly myself—but it is not so good ill the second
letter; it shakes a little, it blots a little, it crooks
itself a little, in the last lines. In the third it
is worse—more shake, more blot, more crook.—
In the fourth, where there is least to do, there
is Buhl more shake, still more blot, still more
crook, than in all the three put together. I see
'this. I remember that she was weak, and worn,
and weary, when she left me and I say to my
self, she is ill, though she will not tell it, for
the writing betrays her !"
Rosemead looked down again at the letters,
and followed the significant changes for the
worse in the handwriting, line by line, as the
old man pointed them out. ,
"I say to myself that," he continued," I wait
and think a little; and I hear my own heart
whisper to me, Go you, Uncle Joseph, to Lou
don, and while there is yet time, bring her book*
to be cured, and comforted, and made happy in
your own home! After that I wait; and think a
little again—not about leaving my' business: I
would leave it forever sooner than Sarah should
come to harm—but about what I as to do to
get her to come book. That thought makes me
look at the letters again; the letters show me
the same questions about Mistress Frankland; I
see it plainly as my own hand before me that I
obeli never get Sarah; my niece, back, unless I
can make easy her mind about those questions
of Mistress Frankland's that she dreads as if
there was death to her in every one of them. I
see itl it makes my pipe go out; it drives me up
from my ohair, it pats my hat on my bead; it
brings me here, where I have once intruded my
self already, and where I have no right, I know
to intrude myself again; it makes me beg and
pray now of your compassion for my oleos mod
of your foodness for be, that you will Dot den
me the means of bringing gir ab leek. If I
only say to her,' I have seen Mistress Fruitland
and she has told me with her own lips that she
will ask nose of those questions that y9n fear so
mush if I may only say that, Penh will come
bask with in., and I shin thank pis every day
of my life for making me a happy mass"'
The simple eloquence of the old man's words;
the innocent earnestiess of his manner, towelled
Rosamond to the heart. "I will do anything, I
will promise anything," she answeed sartlip
"to help you to bring her back! It she war

spread out both his bands interrogatively, and

unquestionably the most impalas' of the Om—
" Good! The least little word that you my to

out of hie pocket, and advanced to say farewell,
when Mr. Freakland spoke to him again:
"If you fled your niece well, and willing to

when you are both at home again?"
"At onee, sir," said Uncle Joseph. "To both
these questions I say at onoe."
"If a week from this tinpe pages," continued
Leonard, "and, we hear nothing from yon, we
must conclude then,, either that some unforeseen
obstacle stands in the way of your return, or that
your fears on your niece's account have been but
too well founded, and that she is not able to
to travel?"
"Yes, sir, so let it be. But 1. hope you will
hear from me before the week is out."
"0, so do I! most earnestly, most anxiously,"
said Rosamond. "You remember my mes
sage?"
"I have got it here, every yord of it," said
Uncle Joseph, toughing his heart. Es raised
the hand which Rosamond held out to him, to
his lips. "I shall try to thank you when I have
come back," he said. "For all your kindness
to me and to my niece, God. bless you both, and
keep you happy, till we most again." With
these words he hastened to the door, waved his
hand gaily with the old crippled hat in it, and
went out.
"Dear, simple, warm hearted old man!" said
Rosamond, as the door closed. "I wanted to
tell him every thing, Lenny. Why did you
stop me?"
"My love, it is that very simplicity which you
admire, and which I admire, too, that makes me
cautious. At the first sound of his voice I felt
as warmly towards him as you do; but the more
I heard him talk, the more convinced I became
that it would be rub to trust him, at first, for
fear of his diselosing„too abruptly to your moth
er that we know 'her secret. Our chance of
winning her confidence and obtaining an inter
view with her, depends, I can see, upon our tact
in dealing with her exaggerated suspicions and
her nervous fears. That good old man, with the
best and kindest intentions in the world, might
ruin everything. He will have done all that we
can hope for, and all that we can wish, if he
only succeeds in bringing her bank to Truro."
"But if he fails—if anything happens—if she
is really ill?"
"Let us wait till the week is over Rosamond.
It will be time enough, then, to decide what we
shall do next."
