*But may f depend upon your forwarding them immediately?’ inqnired Mr: John, eagerly. ‘ You will not leave me in suspense & woment, will you?

‘' They are not found yet.’ said the lawyer, with a smile so crafty, that it drew a pas: sionate exclamation from the wronged man, who, fiow galled beyond endurance, scrupled

pair of designing villians.

The excitement of this scene was too much for Mr. Tredgold. who, calling for wine, que- raloasly requested bis visitors to depart.

‘I am not’ your legal ‘adviser,’ he said with a feeble effort to raise himself, and shaking his shrivelled hand at them, * you know you never jiked—never tolerated me, It was ‘through your influence with your father that he refused’ mé hs countenance when it would have been invaluable, Take

Ah! love. if it were not for you and the orphan girls who lean upon us——’

The voice died away as they left the cham- ber, and I grieved at my master’s requiring all my attention, for I longed to follow them, (and to whisper @ comforting word to the poor young lady, who it was evident to my expe- rience would soon be.a wother, that. she was wholly. unfit for the agitation ef. such an. in- terview.

‘ Bah!’ said my master peevishly ; ‘are you alwaye watehing and suspecting? Sup- pose he has been here, what then ?

‘You were not compelled to admit him,’ retorted the other. * Who knows what ad- uiissiong he has drawn from ‘you ?’

“* Am'L a Tool?’ demanded Mr. Predgold. ‘ Would it be to my interest to farther your brother’s views ?’ ;

he met the scrating withdut finching. Ue made. an attempt ab apologising, which was heard in silenee, and lL hoped.that the unwel- come guest would now take his departure; bat drawing a chair close to the bed, he de- sired me to withdraw.

‘No, no,’ exclaimed Mr. Tredgold, ‘ Fean- not do without‘her! Tam not fit to be left without herassistance. Besides, she is deaf.’

He had imbibed this betief from the silence with which I passed over the ouths and tr tter speeches I hated to hear, and had no other way of repressing.

Mr. Norris nodded’ and the st fferer writh- ed and moaned at this confirmation of his worst fears, cs

So very ill as you, really are, Tredgold;* said Mr. Norris, drawing still closer to thé bed, ‘wouldn't it be wise to, band those writings over tome. If anything happens to you, we don’t know whose busy fingers may be at work; there 1s no harman making gure.’ ~ No harm at all,” replied’ “my master, quietly.’ ee

‘ Certainly not,” said Mr. Norris, with a satisfied air; ‘and they would be as safe

‘ Perhaps safer,’ interposed the lawyer; “they might now meet the doom from which { roacued them before; once on the ifire—eh, Norris? hook you,’ said he, suddenly changing hie jeering tone to one of passronate contempt, ‘while I live you shall never have them!
