“ My dearest Violet, what do you
think? Here is Captain Thorny-
crolt’s carriage at the door. This
bitter day, too. What does it roeaD?”
Mrs. Rntherforii tamed from the
window and gave her daughter a
searching glance. Violet simpered
and tossed her red gold curls.
« Change your ruffle for a lace frill,
and put on your diamond^piij^hy. YotPri
love,” her mother continued, With a ~g|| 01 [ gome plan
long breath of content, “and go
down at once.”
Violet hastened to obey, while
Cousin Nell bent over her embroidery
in silence. She tyaf oply a country
cousin.
“You see, Nell,” continued her
aunt, “this Captain Thornycroft
comes of one of our best families, and
is the best match of the season ; and
you know, Nell,” looking sadly pa
thetic, “ while it would quite break
my heart to part with Violet, I nat
urally feel solicitous about seeing her
suitably settled, and this Captain
Thornycroft is ”
Further mention ot the Captain
was cut short by the reappearance of
Violet carrying her head high, and
shooting bine fire from her eyes.
“ Why, Violet, what is the matter?”
cried the amazed mother; surely
Captain Thornycroft cannot have
gone so soon ?”
“No, mamma, but we made a
mistake,” replied Violet, “Captain
Thornycroft has called to see Nell!”
“ What ? Nell, do you know Cap-
lain Thornycroft?’’
“Yes, Aunt Eunice, I know him,”
answered Nell, demurely, and a min
ute later she was gone.
At supper, Violet’s sharp eyes
caught the glitter of precious stones
on her cousin's finger.
“Whatd«*esit mean, Nell?” she
questioned, when they were alone.
“ It means I have promised to be
his wife,” faltered Nell. “ I have
known him for over a year, and oh,
Violet, I am so happy!’’
“Undoubtedly ! Let me see your
engagement ring.”
Nell held out her Aetly digger. ^4
“It is spendid,” said Violet, **'
moodily ; “I never saw a finer opal,
and those small diamonds are superb.
It didn’t cost a cent less than five
hundred.”
Nell ran away to her room, and,
rfter having a silly cry over her great
happiness, she sat down to write to
her father and mother.
The bells were striking for midnight
when she sealed her letter.
A rap against her window-pane
made her start. She caught sight of
a face pressed against the glass. It
was her brother’s face, wan, and
worn, and changed; yet, she knew it
iu an instant. She raised the sash.
“ Oh, Jack, is it you?”
“ Yes, Nell. Don’t speak so loud,
i’or heaven’s sake! If any one sees
me hero, I am lost!”
Poor Nell grew white as death,
but kissed him. He was her twin
brother, and, despite his faults, she
loved him.”
“ What is it, Jack,” she asked
tremulously. “Tell me, and I’ll help
you, it I can.”
“ Yes, you have always helped me,
Nell. I’m an ungrateful dog to
come to you now. Poor little Nell!
I wouldn’t mind, only for your sake
and the old people’s. Nell, I meant
to do better, I did, indeed. I’d got
into good quarters in a banking
house, and I was keeping dark till I
could surprise you all. But the old
sins got the better of me, Nell; I fell
into bad company again, took to
whisky and gambling, and embezzled
some of the funds—I meant to put it
back, Nell, but I can’t, and unless
you can help me, I’m done for. It
will be out in less than a weeks time.”
Nell looked at him with wide,
piteous eyes.
“Oh, Jack, is it so bad as that?
How can I help you ?”
“I must have money, Nell.”
“How much, Jack?”
“Three hundred and fifty—”
She gave a little cry of terror.
“ So much ? How on earth could
I get so much money, Jack?”
“The Governor’s got it.”

Couldn’t' you get
it for yourself? The old folks would
give you anything.”
. “ No,. Jack; I couldn’t do that.”
“ Then^X-lUHSt. Iape „tl>e worst,
Nell. I’ve half a mind to blow my
worthless brains out, aud have done
with it.”
“ Oh, Jack, hush! Maybe I can
help you. Let me think.”
She clasped her hands in an agony
of irresolution, the flashing opal
shining on her finger.
“Violet said she thought it was
worth $500, and she knows.” She
thought, “I might borrow something
on it, or sell it. What shall I do ?”
“ I won’t keep you here in the
cold, poor little Nell,” said her
brother, turning his haggard face
away from her. “ I’m. a villain for
coming to you at all Never mind ;
let the worst come ; I’ll stand to it.
I’ll get off if I can, aud when the story
gets afloat, Nelf, try and remember
that I didn’t intend to steal. I was
sure I omiM put the money--back.
Good-bye, Nell.” 1 -
“ Come back, Jack. I iliiuk—Fni
not sure—but maybe I can help yon.
Where can I see you to-mo r row
night? Yon musn’t come here.”
“On the old bridge, Nell; it is
quiet there. What hour ?”
“About nine, Jack. Goodbye
you’d better go now.’’
“ Heaven bless you, Nell ”
The window closed aud Jack dis-
appeard.
“ It is my duty to tell yon, Cap
tain Tnornvcroft, though you may
fancy how unpleasant it is.’’ explained
Miss Violet - a few days after.
She hatfcjyiet the Captain’ by ap*
oifttmen&o
“ It is thy duty to warn yon. I’m
very much afraid, Captain Thorny'
croft, that Nell is deceiving you
Her actions of late have been so un
accountable that mamma has decided
to send her back home to Maple
wood.’’
The Captain’s dark cheek flushed
and his eyes blazed.
“So this is why you’ve sent for me,
Miss Rutherford,” he said, hotly;
“ to slander my promised wife ?
beg your pardon, but I don’t wish to
hear, neither will I believe, a single
word against her.” Violet laughed
softly
“ Spoken like a loyal lover and
gentleman. All the same, Captain
Thornycroft, it is my duty to tell yo u
the truth. Nell went to Wichcrly
bridge after dark two nights in suc
cession, and met some unknown man;
more than that, she has sold her en
gagement ring.”
“You seem to have been playing
spy pretty closely, Miss Rutherford?”
“ I have. You don’t believe me,
Captain Thornycroft ?”
“ I do not.”
“ Very well, go to Graham & Dal
ton and ask for proof.”
Miss Rutherford swept away, her
eyes full of exultation, and Captain
Thornycroft stalked out, jumped into
his carriage, and drove to Graham &
Dalton’s.
“ Show me some cpal rings.”
The clerk obeyed with alacrity.
“ This one, sir,” he said, “ has an
inscription. It was only bought in a
day or two ago, aud we’ve neglected
to efface it.”
The captain examined it, with a
flush of rage and pain in his check.
It was Nell’s engagement ring.
‘ If you like it,” pursued the oblig
ing salesman, “ we’ll efface the
name at once. It is really a superb
article.’’
No matter, I’ll take it as it is,”
said the Captain.
His next step was to go in search
of Nell. Hejfound her just leaving
her aunt’s house.

He£j%>$ was scarlet, her downcast 1
eyes full oT tears.
“You can’t tell mo, Nell?’’ said
the Captain, giving her a keen
glance: , . i_ ( \j
“ I would rather not dear
Arthur,” sjiq added, wistfully, touch
ing hisafrtp withhfsr cheek, “ if you
will only trust me a Tittle, all will be
well, Can’t you, Arthnr? Surely
under the same circumstances, I could
trust you.” , •
“I don’t know, Nell. I dislike
concealments above all things,” re
plied her lover sternly. “Fve a right
to ask an explanation of your conduct-
I don’t care to make even you my
wife under a cloud of deception—
‘ That will do, Captain' Thorny
croft,’’ interrupted Nell, a sudden
flash in her gentle eyes; “ there is no
compulsion in the case. You are
free; I will return your letters the
first hour I reach come. .And some
day,’’ she added, with a stifled sob,
“I will repay the value of your opal
r.ng. Good-bye, Captain Thorny
croft.” -
She was gone- The Captain
u atebed her light figure till it disap
peared.
“ So it ends,” he mut&red. “ Is
there a woman on earth worthy ot a
man’s love?”
Nell went home to Maplewood,
and Captain Thornycroft rejoined his
command.
It was a dreary Thanksgiving day.
Gray and overcast—a wild, wailing
blast, whirling the dead leaves in
every direction.
“ Come, father and mother,’’ su’d
Nell, “ let’s sit down to ofcr Thanks
giving dinner, it is quite reKdy.’’ •
The old father arose *an^T took off
his spectacles. \
“ A cheerless day for Thanksgiv
ing,” he sighed, “ and it will storm
before night? Aye, wife, it not like
the days we’ve seen.’’
The old wife’s eyes filled ; she was
thinking of her banished son.
“ Come, come, the turkey is grow
ing cold,’’ urged Nell, struggling to
keep back her tears.
The lawn gate closed with a clang,
and there was a sound of horses on
the gravel. Nell flew to the door.
Two men in blue and brass. One of
them she knew in an instant.
“Oh, Jack, Jack! Mother, Jack
has come home !’’ she cried out.
In another instant the prodigal son
was in the room, and had the old
woman iu his arms.
“ Forgive me, father,” lie said,
“ I’ve come for good this time, and
I’ll not put you to shame again—Nell
saved me.’’
The father clasped his hand in
silence.
“ Nell,” said the second one, ad
vancing, “is there pardon for me,
too ?”
“ Captain Thornycroft!”
“ Let me tell the story,’’ shouted
Jack. “ Nell was engaged to the
Captain there, father, and she sold
her troth-ring for money to help me
out of trouble. She saved me and
lost her own happiness. But I’ve
fetched your soldier back, Nell,” ho
went on. “ I chanced to strike his
company whon I went into the army }
and once, when he was near dying,
he told me his story. I saw how the
land lay in a trice, and here he is,
willing enough to trust you now.
You must forgive him Nell.”
“Will you, Nell?” whispered the
Captain.
Eor answer Nell put her hand in
his. He carried it to his lips.
“ Here’s the opal ring back again,’’
lie said, taking it from his pocket,
and slipping it on her finger. “ I’ve
kept it all these years, and, Nell, I
love you better to-day than the morn
ing we parted.”
