Bat that it neither her* nor there ; and, sore enough, they were only pnt into their pre tent thape juite recently. I can remember when half of them were ULOUI, or out in some barbarous, Oriental manner, pietor esqne enough, bat not fashionable. And come were mounted an note rings, tome clasps, some in tbs bills of daggers, and in I was a all aorta ot other ways.

We were thinking of going to Rome at Ibe time to apend tiz or eight montbt, and tbe first idea waa to give thi Job to Oaetellani.

Yon know my mother generally bad her way, aod she bad il io this CMS. The fellow cer- tainly did understand bit bnsioeis ; bis work waa well done, as yon may have ooliaed this evening.

He lived and worked ia s littls dark shop ID tbe Latin Quarter. He and I became qoue intimate. You see, I bad been eommteeioned to attend to thi* diamond business and to remain io Paris until it waa done. I was to watch il through all its stages and be sore that my mother's directions regarding the style of tbe setting were accurately followed. When all was finished I was to pay the bill and bring tbe diamond* on to Rome, where tbe family would by Ibat time be established. Well, I was a young fellow just feeling my oat", and psobably I was not mnob cast dowo al tbe prospect of spending a montb or two alone io Par!*, as yon might sop pose.

Mr. Birohmore at first paid I it; IB beed to my representation ; but fl Jally 1 induotd him u accompany me to Ibe Latin Quarter, and at kast roak llu attempt. The next morning, accordingly, we eel !or:h ; a: d, ae we tanntered aioug Ibe wide pleasant boulevard*, our oanver- tatioo b'.oaoie more frte and tfUble than it bad been hiibarlo. I found my com- pauiou could be exceedingly ontartaming when be obose it, and bad a v*l fu&d ot experience aud adventure to draw upon. He bal been almout everywhere ; be bid made bimielf familiar with all variation ot olviluid and uuoivilizid men ; as a matter of coarse, too, he wsa a versatile linguist. Tbe only direetion in which he gave any evidence ol comparative deficiency was ia that ot literature and the ttoe arts. Bis life had been essentially aa active one. Be oared little tor Tennyson and Swinburne, (or Mtllhew Arnold and Oarlyle. Be bad, however, read and appreciated " Macbeth, " and tome otber ot Baakipeare't plays, and be was well acquainted with several of Ibe romaooee of " Unabashed Dafoe." I did not discover all this in tbe course of that one ttroll over to tbe Latin Quarter, but it leaked out daring oar sabtequenl acquaint- ance, which WMI destined to btcjme more lutiomto aud prolonged than I had any idea ot then. A.I I have iutimated, Mr. Birch- more wae quite frank aid open in bis talk except upon one topic -himself. Ot hie inter lite and oireumitanwi I eoald learn nothing. Though be never waiobtiumely reticent, yet he contrived never to refer to bis own private affair*.

We arrived in due time at Buduipb'e little nhop and I ioliolnoed him to Blrebmora. lhad previoaaly told the latter ab.ul m> dia and now I made Rudolph proluoe them. The aim ot tbe world examiued the gemi with evident intereet and with a knowledge ol their value and qnalitiee which aurprieed me and caused tbe little jeweller to eye my friend wilb a keennest that I took to mdioUe jealouiy. "Tbeee are all Indian stones," wae Birobmore't first remark. " There u not an American among them or, etay !

" Monsieur's estimate would have been cor reel, bat tbat this stone here is a little ofl oolor and thu one has a slight flaw which it now ia pail concealed by tbs setting." " Too travel under proper precaution*, '. trust,' said Birebmore after a pause, turn leg gravely to me. " I know the confidence yon young fellows have in your courage and clcveruesi ; but a dczin or a rcore ot thieves might conspire together for each a prizs ai this, aud against tbeir skill and address co tingle man would stand a obauee. Ah I I know lomathiog of it. I WM robbed one*." " Do tell me about it : ' I exclaimed witb an impulsive betrayal ot interest that made me emile the next moment. " Auotber time," laid he shaking nil bead, and presently be added, " Yon will pardon me for preeuming to counsel yon ?" 11 My dear sir, I am much obliged to you. My idea il tbat the simplest precautions are the beet. I shall carry Ibe stonee In an inner pocket and I thall go armed. No one will Buspec) me ; and if I am attacked I Bhall make a good defence, at all event?." Mr. Biiohmore said uothltg more, and, indeed, seemed scarcely to listen to my re marke. I now suggested to him that In might tbow Rudolph bis ring. He pat bii baud to bis waistcoat pocket and gave a half-suppressed ijtonlaiion of disappoint meut and annoyance. Be bad left tbe ring at borne. " No matter ; I will call to-morrow, lierr Rudolph," he observed. " I ve no doubt I ball find what I want bore, il anywhere.

" And I have a watchman, also, wbo guards all night long." " A prudent fellow. Ye, that will do," murmured Mr. Birohmore in an undertone to himself. Then, with a parting nod and emile, to which tbe jeweller did not respond, be sauntered out, I following him. We walked back to the hottl. I did not see him again until after diucer, wben he offered me a cigar ; and wben we had smokel together awhile in silence, be said abruptly : " I vs found thai stone." I looked at him inquiringly.

Il wat my intention l> go trom there southward tbroogb Bwrz:rlud to Venice, aod thus to make my approach to the Eternal Oily. Dresden, however, detained me longer than I had eipeoled. II was in Aa^um that I reached il. Toere were not many people io town, but I wae delighted witb tbe Gal- lery, with the picturesque sweep of tbe river and with the green shade and good mutio ol tbe Groeser Qr!sii. Tbere were teveral charming drives, too, io Ibe neigh- borhood ; and at for beer, il waa really a revelation to a man wbo bid never known aoythmg leu heavy and solid than Alliopp's pale ale. I had pal ap at the Botel de 8xe, a broad-tided old building oo ooe tide ol a large, irregular " pit a." ealled, I believe, the Neumarkt. My landlord, wbo waa a young genllt in w of great personal attrac- tions, interested himself a good deal about my amutemenlr, and one day hi happened to ask un whelbsr I had visited a region known at Bazoo SwiUsrland. Tbia, it ap- peared, wai a mouottiooaa district tome twenty milea op Ib* Kb', in which waa solved tbe problem of putting tbe greatest amonot of ronuntio piotoretqueness into the smallest possible compass. Il wai a land of savage rookf, wild precipices and profound gorges, conveniently grouped witbio the limits of t good day's tramp. Il comprised all the soblime and startling features of yoor Yosemite Valley in Oali- forma, witb ao area about equal to tbs summit ot one of tbe table bluffs iu that region. I packed my valise for a sojourn of two or three daya among these pocket Alps, pal my diamonds in thsl secure inner rookel, and took a drosky for tbs railway nation. Tbe trip to Bobandao (the principal village of Baxcn Switzerland) eao also btr male by steamer, bat, after disonsiiDg the proi aad cow ol rival routai with my boat of tbs hotel tbe evening previous, I bad decided to go by rail, which provides nearly half as much pretty scenery aa the river road and lakes up less than a fourth aa mncb time. I alighted at the station door somewhat late, and, having given my trunk in charge of a porter, was harrying lo gel my ticket, when my attention was otngbl by a youug lady wbo was standing cm the platform in an attitude that baspoke sospenie aod anxiety. Her veil was down, bat, from the slender eleganoe of ber figure and tbe har- monious perfection of her eostame, I ooald col doubt that her faee was beiatifol. Evidently she waa oot a Uarmsn ; tbe was nol an English girl ; aa il wai, the might bi either an Austrian or an American. Even then, I rather loolincd to tbe latter hypothesis. Baa appeared to be entirely alone; bat she was scanning witb ill concealed eager- ness the crowd tbat waa enteriag tbe sit- lion, aa it io searob of a familiar face. When ber glance fell npon me, I fancied tbat she took an impulsive atep in my dirco lion, bat she obecked herself immediately and looked away. While I was hastily debating wilbio myself whether or uot it would be " Ibe thing " for me to go op and ask her if shs Deeded any aesiitanee, I saw a lutniimmn or carrier come op tbe atepi, and, taking off bin op, deliver bar a note. Bhe tore it nervon ly open, threw b*ok ber veil impatiently and ran her eyea over the contents. Beautiful she wai, iodeed ! My anticipations bad been behind the truth oa that score. Bach strange, mystical dark ayes underneath level blaek eyebrows I bad nivsr sesn. But josl then there waa ao expression ot dismay and dietraaa in them thai made me half forget lo remember tbeir fascination.
