CHAPTER LV.

(Contin ned. ) | The poor girl was half-fainting at the sight of the man who had destroyed her | Robert and owned it. ‘No, no,’ she cried hastily; ‘let me get |away—let me get away from here—you ‘cruel, cruel map.’ | She tottered to the door, and got to her jcarriage, she scarcely knew how, without the information she went for.

The bill-broker was no fool; he saw now how the land lay; he followed her down the stairs and-tried to siammer excuses,

| ‘Charing Cross Hotel,’ said she faintly, ‘and laid her face against the cushion to avoid the sight of him.

When she got home, she cried bitterly at her feminine weakness and her incapacity ; and she entered this pitiable failure in her jou:nal with a severity our male readers j}will hardly, we think, be disposed to imi- tate; and she added, by way of comment: “is this how I carry out my pocr Robert's precept: Be obstinate as a man, be supple af a woman ?’

That night she consulted her father on this diffiealty, so slight to any but an in- experienced girl. He told her there must be a report of the trial in the newspapers, and the report would probably mention the counsel» she had better consult a file. Then the thing was where to find a file. After one or two failures, the British Museum was suggested. She went thither, and could not get into read without certain formalities. While these were being com- plied with, she was at a stand-still.

That same evening came a line from Mr. Arthur Wardlaw :—

‘‘Dearest Hexen: I hear from Mr. Adams that you desire to know the name of the counsel who defended Robert Pen- feld. It was Mr. Tollemeche. He has chambers in Lincoln’s Inn

‘‘Ever devotedly yours,

‘ARTHUR WaRDLaW.”

Helen was touched with this letter, and put it away indorsed with a few words of gratitude and esteem, and copied it into her diary and remarked; ‘This is one more warning not to judge hastily. Arthur's agitation was probably only great emotion at the sudden mention of one whose innocence he believes, and whose sad fate distresses him.’ She wrote back and thanked him sweetly, and in terms that encouraged a visit. Nexi day she went to Mr. Tollpmache. A seedy man followed her at adistance. Mr. Tollemache was not at his chambers, nor expected till four o'clock. He was in the court. She left her card and wrote on it in pencil that ahe would call at four. She went at ten minutes after four. Mr. Toilemache declined through his clerk to see her if she was a client; he could only be approached by her solicitor, She felt inclined to go away and cry, but this time she remembered she was not to be obstinate as a man and supple as a woman. She wrote on a card ‘I am not a client of Mr. Tollemache, but a lady deeply inter- ested in obtaining some information which r, Tollemache can, with perfect propriety, give me. I trust to his courtesy as a gentleman not to refuse me a short in- terview.’ ‘Admit the lady,’ said a sharp little voice, She was ushered in, and found Mr. Tal- lemache standing before the fire. ‘Now, madam, what can | do for you? ‘Some years ago you defended Mr. Robert Penfold; he was accused of forgery.’ “Ob, was he! I think I remember something about it. A banker’s clerk— wasn't he?’ ‘Oh, no, sir. A clergyman.’ ‘A clergyman. I remember it perfectly. He was convicted.’ ‘Do you think he wag guilty, sir? ‘There was 4 strong ease against him.’ ‘I wish éo sift that case.’ ‘Indeed. And you want to go through the papers.’ ‘What papers, sir?’ ‘The brief for the defence.’ ‘Yes, said Helen, boldly; ‘would you trust me with that, sir} Oh, if you knew how deeply | am interested!’ The tears were in her lovely eyes. “The brief has gone back to the solicitor, of course. I dare say he will let you read it upon @ proper representation. * ‘Thank you, sir. Will you tell me who is the solicitor aad where he lives ?’ ‘Oh, } can’t remember who was the soli- That is the very first thing you ought to have ascertained, Jt was no use coming to me.’ ‘Forgive we for troubling you, sir,’ said Helea, with a deep sigh. ‘Not at all, madam; I sm only sorry I cannot be of more seyviee. But do let me advise you to employ your solicitor to make these preliminary inquiries. Happy tocon- sult with him, and re-open the matter should he discover any fresh evidence.’ He bowed her out, and sat down to a brief while she was yet in sight.

indeed, was everybody, except one young (subordinate, who waa putting up the shutters. ‘Sir, said she, ‘can you tell me where old Mr. Penfold lives ?

‘Somewhere in the subbubs, miss.’

‘Yessir; but where?’

‘I think it is out Pimlico way,’

‘Could you not give me the street! I would beg you to accept a present if you could.’

Pimlico. She gave him a sovereign, to hia infinite surprise and delight, and told the |cabman to drive tu the hotel,

| The next moment the man who had | followed her was chatting familarly with | the subordinate, aud helping him to put up the shutters.

‘I say, Dick,’ said the youngster, ‘Pen- foldis upin the market, a duchess was here just how and gave me a sov, to tell her where he lived. Wait a moment till I spit on it for luck.’

The agent, however, did not wait to wit- ness that interesting ceremony. He went back to his hansom around the corner, and drove at once to Arthur Wardlaw’s house with the information,

Helen noted down Michael Penfold’s address in ber diary, and would have gone to him that evening, but she was to dine tetz-a-tete with her father.

The Eruption of Mount Aftna.

Mount A2tna, Sicily, is again in a state of eruption. Up to the present” almost sixty eruptions of Mount 2tma are re- corded, the most notable within the last hundred years being those of 1792, 1811,

1819 and 1831. The first of these con- tinned an entire year, the streams of java then being thirty feet deep.

During the last one mentioned there opened on the sides of the mountain many flaming mouths in the midst of tremendous explosions and convulsions, prodigious discharges of ashes, cinders and lava which overran miles of cultivated fields and threatened the town of Bron with ruin. The river of lava was then twenty miles long, over a mile wide, and forty feet deep. The lava which in 1669 overtopped the walls of Chatanin may still be seen coiling over their sumunit like a frozen torrent, On that occasion much of the city and 15,000 of its inhahitants were destroyed. The earliest erruption mentioned in history was 476 years before the christian era. Four years later a vast volume of water ig reported to have rushed down the mountain side. It was supposed to have come from the crator, showing, apparently, the connection between the volcano and the sea. A great eruption occurred in 1852, when mighty clouds of ash-grey dust were expelled, covering the whole surrounding country. From two new mouths on the eastern flank issued torrents of lava—one moving toward Zaffarana, the other toward (diarra. One stream was two
