The reader. we trust. will now understand that Carlton Ellery. when he took leave of the fair opera-

cunspiracy. were Jack Bilbo. and a shrewd. de- praved lad. who war the illegitimate child of the burglar. who had been recently discharged from the [loose of Correction. and whom Brigs had under- taken to train in hts own career of wickedness“ The boy was of fair complexion, with blue eyelid and of rather a genteel person. and quick and intelligent. The comprehensive mind of Ellery at once discovered his usefulness to him. and when ho had decided on forging the drafts and checks which were to criminals Daily. be secured thio lad's ser- vices. dressing him precisely like Mr. “’eldou's son. to whotu.ho noticed, he had a general air oi resemblance. .

It was this lad. who went by the soubriquet oi ‘ Little Jack.‘ who offered the drafts to Mr. Morley. The negro was the burglar himself. disguised by lamp-black and oil so completely, that. with hits tatutally blunt features. he could not have been letected. This Ethiopian masquerading. be it said nerc, had of late become Jack's favorite mode of tppesring abroad ; ltitnoloriety in his own character rendering his appearance by day-light far toil perilous for his personal liberty. The note signed ‘ Eveline Dernel.’ was. its the reader will have guessed. the skilful handicraft of Cptltou Ellery, be having no other confidante in his scheme that those already named in the story.

The result of this diabolical conspiracy the reader has. already witnessed. lIc has seen it. skillfully artfully. deeply. secretly. planned as it was to malice. hatred, envy. and jealousy-«he has seen it defeated by the simple resistance of the spotless integrity of its destined victims! This allows th. value of character. It proves the iucslculable ad- vantages ofa good name! It shows the potency of a pure life. llad James Daily been tlte least irregular in his habits; had it been known to Mr. Weldon that he had ever departed in the sliglut-ot instance from the straight-forward path of integrity and uprightness; had his mind been able to recall from the pest tho least delinquency of conduct or of chums-tor; had I. shallow. however faint, passed across the bright vista of his life, as be mentally looked back upon it when he was arraigned. as We have seen. him, arraigned. in judgment before him. "1." our young man had fttllcn'l then the hero of our story would have been without a shield to turn aside the suspicions that might be turned upon hitn 1 If Mr. Weldon had lighted upon one dishonorable net of his life. recallod one dishonorable principle. even James Daily would not have stood the ordeal 1 He would now have suspected his integrity. and given him into the hands of the law; for the evi- dence against him was sufficient to authorize this otep. without giving him the opportunity of speaking in his defence. The guilt of his clerk and con- templsted partner scetnrd conclusive ! It Was. as it were, irresistible. ‘All tltarstood between the young man s‘nd tho-date oi the criminal. was the bright shield of his own spotless character. Mr. Weldon cast his eyes upon this! Adamant. as it was, to turn aside the arrowa of calumuy. it was transparent g; gin”. to show his. bio heart through it. He 3.“. written upon it the Innocence and purity of his life ! It. was easier for lllln‘Jo‘ refuse credence to the accusation against such a man, than to believe!

He did refuse to admit the evidence, convincing, powerful as it was. He treated him as if innocent ; gave him the privilege of asserting his innocence. and cast to the winds the chargestltat were intended to crush him! Such is the divine potency of character. It turns aside the shafts of suspicion, nndits poosossor is clad in mail oi proof.

Neither Mr. Weldon nor James had yet. however. discovered the guilty party. Their suspicions were, it he been seen. fastened upon the right one. But. so strong was Mr. Weldon'v convictions of Jemes’s innocence. that. should he never be able to fasten 1h. forgery upon another. he would Inever have anspeeted James. Innocency of life is a corner- stone. The character built upon it. neither storms nor floods oaa overthrow.

The' chief motives which led Carlton Ellery to seek the destruction of our here being rtvslry, ontficient was achieved for his purposes when an irrevocable breach should have been made between him and the father of Grace Weldon. This now

aioner. had no suspicion whatever that the note

il‘ltilip had shown him. addressed to Daily. inviting

lllifl to ascertain house to see a lady. was really written by her, or that Daily was to see her in cans-

ipliance will: it. not many minutes atlor he took his

leave. That Ilain or she know of one aunther‘s

‘etistonce. he had not the most distant suspicion!

That the were about to meet. and through the agency 0 a note he had himself road and consented should go to Daily. he as little dreamed oil The note he had believed penned by Philip. assuming, tor the purpose. a delicate \votnanly etylo’ of pru- manship. on which. it will be remembered. be com- plimented him. But thsttbe note was toaccoutplish more than to bring Daily into a trap in which Mr. Weldon might discover hill, had no place in his conceptions. He knew the note invited Daily to call at eight o’clock at No. -—— Dormor Plan; but be supposed this. as Claw told him it was. a house En which to be seen would compromise his character with Mr \Veldnn. That his ‘ beautiful Jchss ' dwelt in the same house. and that it was only another part of Clmv'a habitation. he had no idea; and the mulutto. by the secrecy with which he took him there. took precautions that he should have no sus- picion oi their identity. When. therefore. Ellery took leave of Claw. after they had ridden home from their visit. at the window of the cab, he declined to have anythiugi'ut'therto do with Daily's downfall, feeling he could now no farther interfere with his own personal views ; and. although aware that the hour was approaching when he might be expected to reply in person to the note sent him, and thrust himself in their power. he chose to proceed to the opera. us we have seen, rather than wait to see him; for the guilty man was. in truth. afraid to meet his victim ! If he had suspected that No. -— Dormer Place was the house he had just left. and that the ‘ feigned ' female was the fascinating woman he had just left. he would not so calmly and iutliilcrcutly have left Philip. the mulstlo. to take upon hintscll any, further revenge: towards the victim of their joint hatred.

‘ If you go to this house in Dormer I’lncc. you spoke of. l’ltilip.'hc said carelessly, as the cab drove nil, ‘ and Daily makes his appearance. you had best let him pass. and do nothing. The more quiet \vc are now the better!’

I‘hilip Clow rustle no reply which he could hear. but as he entered his house to visit Isabel. (whithct we have already followed him.) he smiled derisively, and muttered.

‘ Yes, you! It ts easy for this guy blood. now he has succeeded in his object, to recommend quiet! lie tears we may good the young man to turn upon his foes! Ilc tremblus for the consequences of his forgeries. He not. I. had the penning of those dangerous papers. I don't fear on that score! He will have to bear the consequences if it is dis- covered ! James Daily is now my victim! I have not done with him! Nor would be done with him if he suspected who had penned the note which has been sent to him. ,wakmflerlton. to thy ignorance! [shall now have the victim all in my own hands! H0 known not. all'tho clap motives of vovengo I held against ltim! I told him of my love for Frederico the bonnet-girl. and that I was actuated by rivalry ; but I did not tell him Tinned him for coming be- tween the and my ambitious purposes wiLh regard t0 himself! I could not tell hint that without ro- vesling to hint that the beautifulopera-siuger who has fascinated htm. and Philip Clow, the mulatlo. are brother and sister. It is not time to make that rudmion ypf. Wait awhile. till the knowledge of it will make him foam at the mouth with madness! Then will I have my revenge on him, for this man I hate next to Daily! I shall never forget nor for- give the degrading epithets applied to me, for my color and blood, when I have in his need refused to lead him money without suitable security! llis pride shall be lowered. high as it carries itself!’

It was in this mood he sought his sister, the inter- view bctwecn which personages has already been given in the preceding chapter.

We shall now proceed to see how James Daily escapes out of the not that has been laid for him by love and revenge combined, and eventually estab- lishes his own inuocenc ey the overthrow of the guilty. But we defer this deuouement oi our subject

seemed to hint to have been accomplished ; and he did not care to trouble himself or involve himself any further in prosecuting his further rain, which be supposed would follow rapidly enough. Other parts and features of his plan were. therefore. abandoned, These were to servo as corps do reserve in can he should acquit himself of the forgeries; but these latter having (as be supposed) been eilectnal. as for as was necessary in destroying him as a rival, the other parts of the conspiracy were abandoned by him. as be has already been heard to signify to

Philip Clow.

These parts of the plan we will here mention ; they were. that if the forgery and cite scheme failed by Dolly“ being able to advance It personal chora'ctor.‘(for' Carlton placed great weight upon this species of defence.) against the evidence. they were to beguilo him by forged letters. appealing to his benevolence. to visit by night a noted house of ill-repose 3 and while therein draw Mr. Weldon to the place by a prov lens private lettormotifyiug where he could establish at once. by personal observation. ‘tho pr‘oligoey of Dailv's ltnbitl.‘ It was enough for their objetz. if Hr.

CHAPTER xxv. coacncsxox.’ 1.

Wm: this chapter closes the story with which we have so long been trespassing upon our kind reader's patience. We have much to do in a little space to take care of all our characters. but we trust they will all have due justice done them. We have said that our hero resolved to accept the invitation contained in the anonymous note which he had received. believing it might come from the female who had addressed the bank in reference to the drnits; which female had. as we know. a fictitious existence. .James had suspected indeed that the note to the book might have been penned by Carlton. but when he received this he believed that then it might really have been written by a woman. Hoping to obtain some clue to the shelters of the plot against him. be determined to go to No. - Dormer Place. A few minutes beforo eight ho rang the bell and was admitted by the young fair-haired slave of the mulslto. From the appearance of lasary in the hell he believed it was the abode of ‘a respectable prfvate family. Giving his agree, the young girl at once. as if previously instructed. led him to the upper drawing-room and left him to enter. At lrot he saw no one. for the apartment was obscure and objects indistinct. [do crossed. as Ellery had done. to the door whence the light issued. and was met by Isabel with an enchanting smile upon her features, and eyes brilliant with passionate love.
