AP,

MY VEILED CLIENT.

| Avr the time of the accident | am about to relate, | was a young solicitor, with no _very considerable practice, and therefore, not always so discreet as | might have been had 1 been able to pick and choose my clients. My business honrs were

Fringes, Laces, Sumshades, ostensibly from ten to five; but the fact

of my house adjoining the office made me subservient to the wishes ot the ‘public beyond the time stated on the brass plate at my office door. In fact, it -was generally after business hours that my most profitable clients came; and 'though 1 can say | refused many a time the agency of some shady bvsiness, still | 1 must confess with regret that once or twice J found myself unwittingly involved in transactions which I would have much rather left alone. Ove of these I have occasion to remember too well, and | ‘never can think of it but Ithank Provid-

‘euce for saving me from becoming an accomplice unwittingly in a most

| audacious piece of imposture.

| I was interrupted one night at tea by the servant entering and saying that a \lady wished tosee me. Hastily fivish- ing the meal, | hurried into my business ‘room. As I entered aud bowed, a lady rose, made a slight courtesy and remain- ed standing. I begged her tobe seated, 'and asked of what service I could’ be to -her. Jt was a little time before she auswered, and then it was ina nervous, frightened way, glavcing arownd the

FENTON: T. NEW BER Yi latvcr pressor, Tanw that although

she was dressed in good style, she had not the air of a lady ; but as she wore a thick veil I could not distinguish her features, though I made out a gray hair here and there.

‘ | suppose I had better explain who I am and what I want,’ she begavu. ‘I am Miss Howard, of Graham Square, and | want you to make out my will.’

I started involuatarily, for this elderly jperson, thongh I had never seen her before, had been the subject of many a surmise and many a gossip with the neighbors. She was reported to be very wealthy but apparently abandoned the world, for during the past five years she had shut herself up in her house, seeing no one but ber servants. My cwriosity was therefore piqued at the idea of mak- ing out this old eccentric’s will. Taking up a pen, I asked her to give me the particulars of how she wished the pro- perty dispesed of.

‘That is very simple, she said. ‘I wish my whole property to goto Mr. ' David Simpson, of Siafford Street, here. I have never been married; aod T want the will framed so as to cut off any heir who might claim relationship to me. I also wish you to act as my executor in seeing my will carried into effect.’

| made a note of the instructions, and asked when it would be convenient for her to call and sign the deed.

‘If you could have it written out by to-morrow night I could ca‘l then and sign it. I would like if you could ar- range to havea doctor present to be a wituess to my signing~a young doctor, if possible.’

‘Certainly, madam. To-morrow night at this time will suit, aud | will arrange about a doctor being present. Is there nothing else you wish mentioned in the will?”

‘No; nothing,’ she ssid, rising. ‘ But be sure you make it cut off all relations.’

I assured her everythivg would be as she desired; and after assisting her into the cab which was awaiting, poticing the while that she had a slight limp iu her walk, I retired to my study to frame the will in accordance with my instructions. Next night, puoctual to a minute, she called; and as I had a doctor present, the ceremony of signing was soon over, the doctor signing as a witness along with my clerk, and appending a certifi- cate of sanity, as desired by my clicut ; and the deed was consigned to my safe.

The affair had almost completely passed from my mind, when I was startled one morning by receiving a note from Mr. Simpson, the legatee in the will, informing me that Miss Howard was dead. I immediately proceeded to the house, performed the usual duties devolving upon a solicitor in such cir- cumstances, and made what arrange- ments were necessary. After the funeral I had a meeting with Mr. Simpson, and explained to him the position of affairs —that he was sole legatee, and that I was executor. He seemed to take the matter very coolly, [ thought, but was anxious that everything should be real- ized as soon as possible. Our interview was very short; and | came away with a strong feeling of dislike for the man, ‘who I found acted as a, sort of factor | for the deceased lady.

Acting within the duties of my exe- cutorship, and also with a desire to find out if possible the relations the old lady had been so anxious to cut of, | inserted a notice of her death in most of the ‘leading papers of the kingdom. This had_the desired effect; for in the course

of a few days I was waited on by a | young gentleman, Edward Howard, by ‘name, who informed me he was a nephew of the late Miss Howard, and

had called upon me, having got my name aud address from the office of one of the newspapers to which I had sevt the advertisement. Durivg my interview with Mr. Howard I was much impressed with his bearing on my telling him the position of affairs, as he was more con- cerned at his aunt’s death than at the purposes of her will. He told me that five years ago he had married against bis aunt’s wishes ; she bad refused to recog- nize his wife; aud though he had written her several letters, he had never heard from her in reply. He thanked me for my information and said he would likely see me agaio, as he was coming into town to a situation he had just been offered.

Some weeks after this, after | was re- turning home in the eveuing from a con- sultation, my attention was arrested by the figure of a woman in front of me. She was hurrying along as if trying to escape observation ; but there was some- thing in her style and the limp which she had that struck me as familiar, though | could not remember where | had seev ber. Just as she was passing a lighted part of the street she happened to look round, and the face I saw at ouce explained to me the familiarity of her figure—both feceand figure being an exact counterpart of my client's, Miss Howard! Somehow or other suspicion flashed across my mind; my instinct told me somethiug was wrong, and I de- termined to follow her and see where she went to. Pushing my hat well over my brow and pulling the collar of my coat well up, I tollowed through two or three streets, and was almost at her heels when she suddenly turned into a public house, when so close had I followed her, I heard the attendant say iu answer to an inquiry by her, ‘‘Namber thirteen, ma'am ;’ and 1 saw her disappear into the back premises. I immediately fol- lowed, heard the door of number 13 shut and glancing at the members, quietly opened number twelve, and after giving an order for some slight refreshment to the attendant who had followed me, I tock a hasty look round the room.

[ found it was divided from the next one only by a wooden partition which did not reach the ceiling, and that by re- maining perfectly quiet, 1 could hear that a Whispered conversation was being car- ried on in the next room. The entrance of the attendant with my order disturbed my investigations ; but on his departure, and regardless of the old saying that listeners seldom hear anything to their own advantage, I did my best to make out the conversation, I distinguished the voices to be those of two men and oue woman. The latter I at once recognized, or at least my imagination led me to be lieve, to be the voice of the person who had called on me a year ago to make her will. The voice of one of the men was strange to me; but after the dis- covery I had already made I was not greatly astonished at recognizing the voice of the other man to be that of Simpson, the legatee of the will. The whole thing flashed upon me at once, and I saw I had been made the innocent ma- chinery for carrying through a clever piece of imposture. I, however, listened attentively to the conversation, in order to fathom the whole affair.

The first sentence I made out came from the stranger: ‘1 told you young Sinclair was the very man to do the work for you. These young lawyers never ask any questions as long as they get the business.’

* Well, well,’ said Simpsoz, ‘ that is all right now. But the present question is, what is to be done in the way of hur- rying him up with the realization of the estate without exciting suspicion? The sooner we all get away from this the bet- ter. I am glad that young fellow How- ard didn’t ask any questions. But one thing’s certain; we must get the old woman away from this immediately, or she’s sure to get recognized. She's been keeping pretty close lately; but I dare say she’s getting tired of it. Aren’t you, old lady ?’

‘Indeed,’ was the reply, ‘I would be glad to get away from this place to morrow if | could. I’m sure I only wish yon could have been content with half of the estate with Mr. Edward, instead of burning the will, when you found it was to be divided between you and him, and

luck would have it, nearly the first man ‘I met outside was a detective whom I had known very well in cousection with |some criminal trials in which 1 had been ‘engaged. A very few words explained ‘my purpose; and sigoaling to the near- ‘est policeman he placed him at the door ofthe shop, and both of us walked in. , He nodded familiarly to the bartender, and leaving over the counter whispered in his ear, The shopman started, and gave vent to a long, low whistle.

‘ You'll do it as quietly as you can for the credit of the house, said he.

‘Of course,’ said the detective. us ip.’

Io another minute we were inside the room, with our backs to the door, the detective dangling a pair of steel brace- lets aud nodding smilingly around the room. The woman fainied. We had no difficulty in securing the men; and in half an hour we had them safely housed in jail.

Before the trial came on we had work- ed out the whole story. The woman who had called on me and signed the will was Mrs. Simpsen. Miss Howard’s house-heeper, the mother of Simpson, in whose favor, the will was made, and the other man was a lawyer’s clerk who suggested to them the feasibility of such a scheme. The = fact of Miss Howard’s self-coofinement and my own impradence had nearly made the plot a success. but for my accidental recognition of the housekeeper. Each of the prisoners offered to turn Queen’s evidence ; but as we had no difficulty iu proving the case this was refused, and they were sentenced to various terms of penal servitude. I had then the pleasure of handing over the estate to Edward Howard, the rightful heir, who, notwith- standing that I had nearly been the means of depriving him of his inherit- ance, made me his agent.

The estate turned out to be much lar- ger than [ had at first thought, as I suc- ceeded in proving that a large number of investments made in Simpson's name really belonged to Miss Howard, and the management of so large a property fairly put me oon my feet as regards business. [ have hada good mapy clients since then, but I have often thought that my Veiled Client was my best, as she was the meaus of giving me my first lesson in prudence and my first start in life.

Here the conversation got so low that I could not catch more than an occa- sional word, and what that idea was I never found out, as he never got the chance -to try it on me, for I had heard enough to know that next door to me were three of the most daring conspira- tors | had ever come across, who had duped and made me, though unwittingly, the chief actor in the conspiracy.
