THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: JANUARY 8, 1877.---Eight Pages. T A BRILLIANT ADVENTURF, ‘ ox, <What d> You take Your Old Pad | For?” From Harpe~'s Weekly. The time was about a fortnight | before Christmas. There were not many travelers, and I had a com- partment 1 the early tidal train to | mpeelf. My destination was Paris, i my errand fo convey from my | father (a London jeweler and silver- | smith) to bhis agent in that city a very valuable brilliant ring. “The diamonds in it are worth five hun- dred pounds if they are worth a penny,” my father had said to me; “igo T hope you will take spacial care | ¢ of the ring, Ned, and neither lose it'| - on the way nor allow yourself to be | I smiled a little su- | robbed of it.”” | perciliously as my father spoke. A« if it were at all likely that I should | ei*her lose it or #llow it to be stolen | from me! I was just turned one- | and twenty, and father had no right | to speak to me as if I were stilla! boy. . I had got the ring in an inner pocket of my waistcoat, as I took care to assure myselt trom time to time. 1 had not seen it since my father put it into a velvet-lined box, in which it was still shut up. When I bhad finished my first cigar and had got through the morning news, the thought struck me that I might as well have another look at the ring. There could be no harm in that, you know. I took the box out of its hiding place and opened it. My eyes were dazzled as I looked There laid the darling in its nest of purple velyet. Who could have res- isted the pleasure of taking it out and trying iton? Certainly not I. First on one finger and then on an- other [ tried it. Had it been made for the third finger of my right hand, it could not have fitted me better. It looked simply exquisite Now 1 came to think of it, was there or could there be a saferhiding- place for the ring than my finger? luncheon would be a desirable feat- ’ Madame by profession is not a thief | AMERICAN SURGICAL INSTITUTE ure of the programme. According- | ly, while she went about her busi- ness, 1 took a voiiure and drove to the Hotel Dessin. There in the course of half an hour, madame jomed me Now, one can’t very well partake of luncheon in kid gloves. The quest'i n was whether I should pr take mine with the rin- en my fin- ge, or whether I should put it care- fully away in the box and hide it out of sight. If you have anv knowleage of what human nature is at twenty-one, especially when there’s a pretty woman in the case, vou will know the decision I arrived Madame pecked a little at this and that, but hardly ate more than a sparrow might have done. How swifdy the minutes seemed to fly! I"could have lingered (n in that cozy little room for a year. When the cloth was drawn and we were left to ourselves, with a bo'tie of hock on the table between us, some- how our chairs seemed to gravitate toward each other. Or perhaps it was the stove that attracted us, for the atterncon was chilly. In any case, we found ourselves in closer proximity. Then said madame. “Do you smoke, monsieur?” “Yes, considerably more than 18 good for me I'm afraid ” “Then smoke now. Oblige me. I like to see a gentle- man smoke.” I rosein order to get my cigar case out ot the pocket of my overcoat. Madame laid her hand lightly on my arm —and what & charming hand 1t was. “7Zenez. 1 am going to make a confession,” said she. “I smoke, too,—moi Cigarettes. I lived for several years in Bpain, where nearlyall the ladies smoke. You are notshocked, I hope at the idea of a lady smoking a cigarette 2"’ &°Shocked, madame—"" “No, of course not. You are too much 8 man of the world. You are above such 1insular prejudices. I had only to keep my glove on and not a soul would know anything about it. 7t was far safer there than in my pocket. In such a case to hesitate was folly. I placed the ring on my finger, and put the empty box back into my pocket. As 1 was alone, there was no occasion to put my glove on just then; so J mused and smoked, and watched the many- colored rays of light that flashed from the brilliants, and wondered what great swell's finger it was @ destined to decorate. How 1 wished that I could call it mine. There was no harm in dazsling the eyes of the ticket collector witn it He was only a railway official. But I took care to pull on my glove and button it before alighting from the train. A quarter of an hour later we were steaming swiftly out of Dover harbor There was not more than a dozen passengers on deck. The day was cold and clear, with just anough sea on to make the voyage unpleasant for bad sailors. Only two ladies were visible One was a stout, middle-aged person. who was eating and drinking nearly the whole way across—evidently an old salt. The other was —well, simply the most charming creature I had ever set my eyes on. In point of fact, I could not keep my eyes off her. T passed her and repassed her as I paced the deck from end to end, and every time that I passed her I look- ed at her. What lovely gray eves ! What superb yellow hair! But as for her complexion, it would need a poet to describe 1ts wild--ose tints. Once or twiee her eyes met mine just for a moment, and it struck me that they were full of a wistful sad- ness. Bo far as I could judgs, she was entirely alone, We were about halt way acrose when, as I ner for the fiftieth time, she spoke. “‘Would monsieur have the goodness to ask the steward to bring me a Iittle cognac?”’ Shespoke in French. As the song says, ‘“Her voice was low and sweet.” 1 was too flattered to answer her. I could only bow and grin, and make a bolt to the steward’s den. Of ceurse I took the cogoa® to her myself. You should have seen how prettily she thanked me. BShe sipped at it as a canary might do. if that bird were in the habit of drinking brandy. “I hope that mademoselle is somewhat re- vived,” I ventured to observe pres- ently. ~*Yes, very much revived, thanks to monsieur. But I am not a mad- emoselle. Iam a madame. Iam a widow.” She pressed her hand- kerchief to her eyes as she spoke. How interestina, nay, how touching was this simple confession. The wistful sorrow in her eyes was at once accounted for. Would that it :ld been my happy lot to eomfort er ! There wasa camp-stool close by. Presently I ventured to draw it a little nearer and to sit down on it, blushing at my temerity as [ did 80. She did not seem at all offended and we were presentiy in the midst of an animated and interesting -on- versation. There was no hauteur about madame. On the contrary, she was candor itself. only been three days in London, she told me. She had been staying with Bir Henry FKitz Evans, who had charge of her husband’s inter- ests in England. Bhe was now going back into seclusien—going back to the little cottage in which she had dwelt ever since her dear husband’s death. She would not be able to go forward by the tidal train, she told me, haviag a business call to make in Calais. Bhe wou'd go forward by the evening train. All this was told me with charming frankness. ‘lhere was no reason why Ishould not wait and go for ' ward with her by the evening train "d —if she would allow me to do so. |/ 15/ When I tbrew out a hint to that 7" effect, she offered no objection. Ehe admitted at once that she was fond of society, and then she looked at me and—well, I could almost sworn that she blushed. I bad already told her that I was bound to Paris on a special errand for my father; bat I had not said a word about the | nng, nor had she even seen it. I had put on on my glove before leav- ing the train at Dover, and I still wore them. A little while longer and we found ourselves at Calais. When we landed, madame admit- ted that shs was hungry, and that Fh bien, you shall smoke one of my cigarettes.” From the sachet by her side she drew an embroidered case which she opened and bade me choose a cigarette. I did so, and she took another. 1hen with ber own fair fingers she struck an al/u mette. and held it while I lighted her own. BShe could not fail to see my ring as she lighted the match. “I aare say you will find the flavor a little peculiar,” said madame, a minute or two later. ““These ciga- rettes are made of perfumed tobacco. I never smoke any others. 1 hope you don’t find yours very disagree- able.” 4On the contrary, madame, 1 am quite in love with it. As you say the flavor is quite peculiar, but aro- maticand pleasant—very pleasant.” To tell the truth, I didn’t iike it at all, but I wouldn’t have said so tor worlds. We smoked on in silence. What would this superb creature say to me, I wondered, if I were to tell her how madly 1 had fallen in love with her? Would she refect me with scorn, or would she—I gaye a sudden start, and was shocked to find that 1 bad be2n falling asleep. Fortunately madame bad not no- ticed me. Her large melancholy oyes were bent upon the stove. There was certainly something very soothing, something that inclined to slumber and happy dreams about madame’s peculiar cigarettes. If I had but two thousand a year now, and this swest creature to share it with me, how happy could I be! Certainly she must have been some six or seven years older than my- self, but I never was one to care for your chits of school giris, who set up for being women betore they are out of their teens. Here was an angal who had been left desolate, who had been cast on a bleak axd unfesling wor'd, who had pinec for & heart and home — for a heart brim- med over with love. Gracious good- ness! 1 had a heart that yearned toward her—that—that - Why---eh —how was this? And where was 1! + awoke wiih a shiver. But for the lamp in the courtyard the room would have been quite dark. My head was achiug frightfuily. I got up and staggered to the window. When I looked out and saw the familiar courtyard, everything csme back to me like a flash of light. Where waamadame? Why bad I slept so long? What a boar she must tuke me to be? 1 groped for the bell and rang it violently. Up came the wailer with a candle. ““Where is madame ?"” I demanded. “Madame,” he answered, ‘‘went out nearly three hours ago, saying that she wanted to make a few pur- chases, and would be back in a little while. On no account, she said, was her brother, who had suf- fered from mal de mer in crossing, to be disturbed. Madame,” he added “has not yet returned.” Gone three hours ago! Her broth- er! Mal de mer! What eould 1t all mean? AsI sat down, utterly bewildered, my arm pressed against the little box 1u my pocket. Me- chanically I glanced at my finger. The ring was no longer there! My Bhe had | heart turned sick within me. I sank down and buried my face in my hands. The waiter thought I was ill; and ran to fetch some cognae. I saw it all now. Fool—fool that I w®s! I had allowed myseli to be swindled, and by a common adven- turess. * At 9 o’clock next morning I stood before my father, a miserable, hag- gard, woebegone wretch. Itold my tale, but as I did so I could not keep down my tears—tears of mingled shame add vexation. He listened to me with a curious, cynical amile. When Ihad done he went to his bureau and opened a drawer. ‘‘Set your mind at rest; Ned,” he said. “Here's the ring. safe and sound !”” I could only stare at him 1n open- mouthed astonishment. “When madame, with the ring in her pos- session, left you asleep, she was just ‘in time to catch the afternoon boat back to Dover. Thering was in my hands again before 10 o’clock last night.” “But—but,” Istammered out, “1 don’t understand. When she had once got the ring in her possession, why did she bring it back to you 2" “Because she was paid to do so. Because she was hired by me through the agency of a private in- quiry office to act as she did act. but a thief-catcher. You had grown | 80 self-conceited ot late, Master Ned, you had such a mighty tail opiion of yourself and your abilities that 1 thought it would do you no ha m to take you down a peg or two 1 hopeI have succened in con- | vineing you that there are people in the world quite as clever, or it may he cleverer, than a certain young nincompoop of one-and-twenty.
