He pretended it had gone out of itself, aud asked Geo: Prattleton to fetch the matches frow the bench at the entrance door. As soon xs George Prattleton had gone for them, a light reappeared in the vestry, and I saw Rol wee what looked to be a piece of thick pasteboard behind one of the leaves, and then draw a knife down it and cutitout. He vat the leaf and the board and the knife into is pocket and blew out the candle again.” Did Mr. George Prattleton see nothing of » He was gone for the matches, and ew he came back the vestry was in dark- ness, ss he had left it. ‘Nothing risk, nothing win,’ I heard Rolls say to bi . ‘IE thought I eould do him.’ ”’ After that? * “‘Atter that, when Mr. George Prattleton come back with the matehes, Rolls lighted the eandle and continued to look over the register, and George Prattleton grumbled at him for being so es Presently Rolls shut the book and hurraed, saying it was not in, and Mr. Prattleton might put it up again.”” “Did you understand what he meant by it’? Can you repeat the words he used ?”” I believe I can, or nearly so, for I have thought of them often since. ‘It’s not in the register, Prattleton,’ he said. ‘Hurrah! It will be thousands of pounda in our kota. When the other side brought forth the lame tale that there was such an entry, we thought ita bag of mooushine. Put up your register.’ I think that was it.” “ What next happened ?” “T saw Rolls hand the book to George Prat- tleton, and then I went down the church as pap as I could, and found the key to the vor and got out. I hid behind a tomb-stone, and I saw them both emerge from the church, and Mr. George Prattleton locked it and put the key in his pocket. I heard them disput- ing at the door, when they found it open; Rolls acoused George Prattleton of unlocking the door when he went to fetch the matches; and George Prattleton accused Rolls of having neglected to lock it when they entered the ehurch.”” “Meanwhile it was you who had unlocked it, to let yourself out?” “Yes. And I was in too great a hurry, for fear they should see me, to ane it after me.’’ “A very nicely concocted tale!’’ sneered Sergeant Siftem, after several more questions had been asked of Henry, and he rose to cross- examine. -+You would like the court and jury to believe you, sir ’”* “I hope all will believe, who hear me, for it is the truth,” he answered, with simplicity. And he had his wish; for all did believe him; and Sergeant Siftem’s searehing questions, insinuations that the fancied George Prattleton and Rolls were nothing byt ghosts, failed to shake his testimony or his belief. The next witness called was Roland Lewis, who had just come into court, marshaled by the head-master. A messenger, attended by a javelin man, had been dispatched in hot haste to the college school-room, demanding the at- endance of Roland Lewis. Mr. Wilberforc: confounded by their appearance, and perplex- ed by the obscure tale of the messenger, that “two of the college gentlemen, Lewis and an- other, was found to have had som’at to do with the theft from the register, though not, he be- lieved in che way of thieving it theirselves,”” left bis desk and his duties and accompanied Lewis sre in the college school?’ said Ser- geant Wrangle. after Lewis was sworn and had given his name ~King’s scholar, sir, and third senior,”’ re- plied Lewis, who could scarcely speak for fright; which was not lessened when he caught sigat of the Dean of Riverton on the bench, next the judge *-Did you sout up acompsnion, Henry Chev- Arkell. im the church of St. James the L fternoon last November, when he had gone in to practice on the organ?” Lewis wiped his face, and tried to calm his breathing, and glared fearfully towards the bench, but never spoke You have sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth. and nothing but the truth, sir, and you must do so.” ssid the judge, staring at his ugly face. through his glasses. ‘Answer the ques- tion 1 —es Y bat was your motive fur doing so””’ asked Sergeant Wrangle ~-It was only done in fun. I didn’t mean to hurt him.” “Pretty fan!’’ ejaculated one of the jury,who had « timid bey of bis own in the college-sehool and thought how horrible might be the conse- quences should he get locked up in St. James’ eburch ~+ How long did you leave him there ?”” “T don’t know. I took back the key to the clerk's, and the next morning when we went to let him out he was gone.”” Who is ‘we’? Who was with you?” crigd Sergeant Wrangle. catching at the word. «Mr. George Prattleton. He was at the clerk's in the morning, and I told him about it, and asked him to get the key, fur Hunt would not let me have it. Sohe came with me and opened the church; but Arkell was not there. He had got out somehow.” When this witness, after a good deal of bad- gering, was released, Seargent Siftem, a bright thought baving eccurred to him. desired that the Ra. Mr. Wilberforce — get into the witness-box. The Rev. Mr. Wilberforce did so, and the Sergeant began, in an insinuating teue ~The witness, Henry Cheveley Arkell, is under your tuition in the collegiate school, I assume /* “He is.” sternly replied Mr. Wilberforee, who bad not forgotten Sergeant Siftem’s in- sult of the previous day “Would you believe him on his oath ?”” “On his oath or without it *’ “ Ub’ you would, would you ’”’ retorted the Sergeant. ‘Schoolboys are addicted to ro- waneing. though.” ‘Henry Arkeli is of strict integrity. His word may be implicitly trusted.” . I can bear testimony to Henry Arkell’s hesorable and truthful nature.” spoke up the Dean of Riverton, from his place beside the judge. “ His general conduct is exemplary— & pattern to the school.”’ ~ Heury Cheveley Arkell!’ roared out the undaunted Siftem, drowning the dean’s voice. « [ bayve done with you, Mr. Wilberforee.”’ So the master left the witness-box and Henry re- entered it ‘ + Lomitted to put aquestion to y@b.é Mr. Chorister.”” began Sergeant Siftem. ould you kaow this fabulous yentleman# your masgination—this Roll: you weypte see bim ’ *¥es,’’ replied He morving as [ came int} That shut up Sergea: Where did you udge I “Ta the oater hall, Mr. Valentine Carr.” ‘The judge whispered word to somebody with a white wand, wlo was standing near him, and that person immediately weot hunt- ing «bout the court to find Rolls and bring him before the judge. But Rolls had made himself searce near the conclusion of Henry Arkell’s first evidence, and, as it transpired afterwards, decamped from the town. The next witness put in the box was Mr. George Prattleton. « You are aware, I presume, of the evidence given by Henry Cheveley Arkell,’ said Ser- *T saw him this 2” inquired the d.

I consented, [am sorry to say, to get him a private sight; but I made the bargain that he should not copy a single word out of it, and of course I meant to with him and watch him.”’ “Did you know that his request had refer- ence to the case of Carr versus Carr?” in- quired Se it Wrangle. ‘No, I'll swear I did not,” retorted the wit- ness, in @ savage tone. forgetting, bably, that he was already on his oath. ‘He never told me why he wanted to look. He would go in at night; if he were seen entering the church in the day, it might be fatal to bis client’s cause was the tale he told; and I am ashamed to acknowledge that I took him in at night, and suffered him to look at the register.” “You knew where the key of the safe was kept?” * You; I was one day in the church with the Rev. Mr. Prattleton, and saw him take it from its place.’” «Nid you see Rolls abstract the leaf?’’ * OF course I did not,”’ indignantly retorted the witness. ‘I suddenly found the v in darkness, and he got me to fetch the marches, which were left ou the bench at the entrance door. It must have been done then. Soon after I returned, he gave me back the rogister, and I locked it up again. When we got to the horas door, we were astonished to find it open, jut——"’ * But you did not suspect it was opened by one who had watched your proceedings,”’ inter- rupted the judge. ‘“*No, my lord. Rolls left the town the next day, and [ have never soen him since. That’s all I know of the transaction, and I can only ublicly repeat my deep regret and shame that F should have been drawn into such an one.” ** Drawn, however, without much scruple, as it appears,” rebuked the judge, with a severe countenance. ‘Allow me to ask you, sir, when it was that you first became uainted with the fact that a theft had been perpetrated on the register?” Mr. George Prattleton did not immediately answer. would have given much not to be obliged to do so; but the court wore an omi- nous silence, and the judge waited his reply. “ The day after it took place. Arkell, the college boy, came and told me what he had seen, but——"’ The one was Mr. George Prattleton; the other # stranger of the name Rolls, who was staying somewhere in Riverton. Mr. Geor, Prattleton unlocked the safe and gave Rolls the register, and he down and looked — it; he was looking a long while.’ «What next did you see’”’ Then, sir, it was your duty to have pro- claimed it, and to have had steps taken to ar- rest yéur confederate, Rolls,”’ interrupted the stern judge. «But, my lord, I did not believe Arkell. I did not, indeed,” he added, endeavoring to impart to his tone an air of veracity, and there- fore—as is sure to he case—importing to it just the contrary. I could not believe that Rolls, or any one else in a respectable position, would be guilty of so felonious an action.”’ “The less excuse you make upon the point, the better,”’ observed tho judge. For some few minutes Sergeant Siftem and his party had been conferring in whispers. The Sergeant at this stage spoke : «My lord. this revelation has come upon my instructors, Mynn and Myun, with the most utter surprise, and——’’ +The man, Rolls, is clerk to Mynn and Mynn, I believe,” interrupted the judge, in a significant a tone asa presiding judge per- mits himself to assume * He was wy lord, but he will not be in fu- ture. They discard him from this hour. In fact, should he not make good his ese: from the country, which itis more than likely he is already ee to effect, he will prob- ably, next assizes, find himself placed before your lordship for judgment, should you hap- pen to come this circuit, and preside in the other court. But Mynn and Mynn wish to disclaim, in the the most emphatic manner, all cognizance of this man’s crime. They——”’ ~ There is no charge to be brought against Mynn and Mynn in connection with it, is there?’’ again interposed the judge. ** Most certaiuly not, my lord,’’ replied the counsel,in a lofty tone, meant to impress the public ear. » Then Brother Siftem, it appears to me that you need not take up the time of the court to enter on their defense.” “I bow to your lordship’s opinion. Mynn and Myun and their client, Squire Carr, are not less indignant that so rascally a trick should have been perpetrated, than the public must be. But this evidence, which has come upon them in so overwhelming a manner, they feel and cannot hope toconfute. I am therefore in- structed to inform your lordship and the jur: that they withdraw from the suit, and permit a verdict to be Sgetast jab aes other side.’- “Very good,”’ replied the judge. And A after cea ook icaltssen had been observed, the proceedings were concluded, and the court began to empty itself of its spec- tators; the next cause coming on, had no inter- est for them. For once the right had prospered. The Reverend Mr. Wilberforce laid hold of Henry Arkell. ‘Tell me,” said he, but not in an angry tone, *-how much more that is incom- rehensible are you keeping secret, allowing it to come out piece-meal?’’ td Henry smiled. ‘I don’t think there is any more, sir.”’ “Yes there is. It is incomprehensible wh: you,should not have disclosed, at the time, all you had been a witness to in the church. Why did pe not’? = could not speak without compromising George Prattleton, sir; and if I had, be might have m brought totrial for it.” “Serve him right too,”’ said Mr. Wilberforce. “It would have been an ungrateful return, sir, to the Reverend Mr. Prattleton, after all the kindness he has shown my fawily.”’ ‘ Gratitude is a praiseworthy oe 3 Arkell, but it should yield to justice. Had Mrs. Carr and her orpans lost their cause, through your not speaking. you would have retleoted on your- self all your life. You ought to have thought of this.” “Itisonly within a day or two, sir, that I knew the leaf, taken out, had reference to Mrs. Carr’s case; indeed, it was only yesterday evening that I heard it would be likely to cost her the trial. And [ immediately went to George Prattleton and told him be must ab- solve me from the promise I bad given him, or else [ should speak without it.”’ “Then y him a promise not to be- tray bim’’ nterrupted the master. © Yes, sir; bag aces The day following the scene in the church, I told George Prattle- ton what I had seen done. At first I could not decide how to act; had my father been in town I think I should have disclosed all to him; once T thought of telling you; then Mr. Prattleton; bat it was impossible to tell any one, without betraying George. At last I decided to go to Camps himself, and I did so, and related what T had seen Though he professed not to believe me, he Wanted me to take an oath never to divulge ittoany oue. I would not do that; bat I gave him my word not to disclose it, un- less circumstances compelled me.

So yesterday evening, when George found I was determined, he himself totd Mr. Prattleton, and called me in to confirm it: and then Mr. Prattleton made us go with him to Mr. Fauntlero; “ Did your ps in court to-day comprise all you say and heard ia the vestry ’”’ Yes, sir; nearly.”’ ‘Nearly!
