 i.\ GOLDEN BUNDS. CHAPTER XXI. (Contixued). "Bat I haven't known you longer than the othfrs," said I, smiling. •But you have known me: so much bet- ter than the others," said he, deprecatingly. 'â- I am not qaite suie i f that." "Didn't you talk to me more than you did the others?"â€" "Yes." "Aid wa'k with me oftener than with the others? 'â€""Yes." "Anfl didn't you like me better than the others?" "J think I didâ€" yes, I did." "All that is very tepid. I can't think why you don't like me, when I like you so much." " Ob, you did not understand me. Mi" Carruthers 1 I do like you very much but "There you have spoiled it all with that unkind 'but' Don't you think me hand- some? I am considered one of the handsom- est men about town, I assure you," "Not really?" This slipped out quickly, for I thought he was in fun. I afterwards found out, to my surprise, that it was true but I did not learn it then, for he looked very much amused, and said â€" "That is blow number two but I am not going to be crushed. Don't you think me good?" "Oh, no!" ' 'Why not, Miss Christie?" said he pretend- ing to be in despair. My chief reason was that, if he had been very "good," he would not have made Lady Mills angry with me by taking me on the river late at night; for he had shown later that he knew it was not considered right. But it would have seemed ungenerous to re- call that when it had all passed over; so I only said â€" '"I know from the way they talked to you and of you that they did not think you very good, and that you did not wish to ba thought so." 'But I am going to reform after what you said on Sunday." "Oh, no, you are not! ' said J, shaking my head. "You say so only because it amuses you to see tow much you can make me be- lieve of the things you tell me." "Do you judge all the people you know as severely as you do me, Miss Christie?" 'Yea, quite," Eaid I gravely. ' Oa â€" er â€" toe gentleaian who gave you tho rod rose, for instance?" H3 said this in a mock-bashful tone, look- ing at the carpet, as if ashamed to meet my eye?. I could not heip getting red, and 1 thiuk he knew it witnout looking up. ' Or â€" or perhips he â€" never does anything wnna?" ' (-)h, yes, lis does, Mr. Carruthers!" said I with a bright idea in my nead--he had been laughing at ne locg tnough, I thought. "He did very wrong :n thinking he need be iealoua of any r,i tiie gentlemen I met at Denham Court." Mr. Carruthei'3 raised his head snd looked straijjht at me. I am not sura that he was not a litclu minoyoJ a; well as amused, thoi;gh he laughed very j:,o id -tempered ly. "1 will ntvor n\aka love to you any more, you ungrateful girl!" said be. "M^ike love! Do you call that making love?" sa-.d I, laugQiag. 'It is not the best I can do byauy means; but 1 shall be vtiy glad to show you " ' You Dted i;ot take that trouble, thank you 1 will take your word for it," said I laughiag agiin. 1 had learat to answer him back in his owu way; and I think he was a little sur- prised at :he v-f^grfiss I was making. "You are tco (juick of fence for me," said he, shaking hi» head. "Well, don't you want to kiioiv what has beeu going on at Denram Couri,?" he asked rather suddenly, in a different tone. ' Oh, yes! But there has not been time for mucli to happen. I left there on Monday, aiid this is cniy Thursday." "There has been time for a very serious misfortune to happen, for all that," said he gravely. "Liri; night D-iiiham Court was brokta into, and Ltdv Mills and Mrs. C-iruicgtaai and Mrs. Carew and some of the other ladies had ail their most valuable jewellery stolen and a quantity of gold pla^e was taken too." ^Ve had been standing by the window all thia time, I playing with the flowers in my basket. I went on mechanically twisting a chrysiuthemuui in my lingers after he had tinHhed telling nie this startling story, but I did not know what I was doing. "Last night, did you say?" aaid I at last, in a fr.ght ned whisper. '•Yes, last uight. Sit down," said he r, inuly, putting; me into a chair, " This seems to have quite overwhelmedyou. Why uhild, your very lips are white! Let me ring fc r some " "No, no," I interrupted, starting up. "I am qaite well I am not going to faint. Don't â€" don't ring. Tell me all about it quickly, please. When did you find it out? Have they Ciught the thieves? Do they know " â- 'Stay â€" I can't tell you all once. The thieves have not been caught yet, and we don't know who they are. The robbery was discovered this morning." " This mornirg 1 Who discovered it How?" '•Now don't get excited, and I will tell you all about it. This morning a ladder was found lying underneath Lidy Mill's dressing-room window, which had been opened by smashing one of the panes from the outside. It was Lady Mill's maid who firjt gave the alarm by a cry at sight of the open window, when she went into the dress- ing room this morning, after calling her mis- tress. Lady Mills ran in^; they looked oat together, and saw the ladder lying nnder- n( ath. The dressing-room has two doors the one which does not lead into the bed- room had bsen unlocked and left open by the thief, to pass into the house by. Bat, at first sight, nothing seemed to have been disturbed. The dressing-case was looked and in its place a strong tin case in which Lidy Mills kept the greater part of her jewels was still in the locked up wardrobe. But, on moving it, they found that the lock had been burst cptn, snd it was entirely empty. Jewels, cases and all, had disap- peared. By this time the head gardener had come into the hoase, saying that he hoped all was right, but that he had gfme to the tool house this mominK with (me of the ander-gardeners, a man nsimed Pirkea " "Tom Parkes?" "Yes. He keeps the key of the tool- house. And they had found the door forced in, and a file and one of the ladders gone. Of course the alarm spread quickly all over the house and then the other losses were discovered one by one. There is the mys- terious part of it. Everything had been done so methodically and so neatly, even to locked doors being found still locked, that it was not until after careful examination that the stiolen things were missed. Lady Mills and Mrs. Cirew found their dresaina-cases locked; but, when they opened them, each found that the most valtable of the contents were gone. The butler and Sir Jonas him- self examined the plate chest together. That was locked too, and, on first opening it, they congratulated themselves on its hav- ing escaped. But, en removing that part of it which is in constant use, they found that the gold plate, which is used only now and then, and some solid silver cups and candlesticks had been taken. But the loss which has caused the greatest sensation is Mrs. Cunningham's. She came into the breakfast room quite white and scarcely able to sptak, with so-ne pebbles and a piece of cotton- wool in her hands. She de- clares that she carried about on her person, sewn up in wash-leather and cotton-wool, a vf ry valuable set of diamonds and cat's- eyes that it was not until long after she discovered her other losses that she cut open the leather, just to make sura that her greatest treasure was safe that she found the jewels gone and the pebbles she pro- duced in their place. The pr or woman was so hysterical that it was a long time before she could tell us all about it. She declares that she slept with them under her pillow, and that no ens 10 the world knew where she kept them, for that she never mentioned the fact to any one " "Oh, but that is not quite true, Mr, Car- ruthers! For she told me." "So she said," said he, looking at me steadily. "But you could ttever have re- peated suck a thing to any one who could make a wrong une of the knowledge." "Oh. no! The only person I spoke of it to was Mr. Rayner." "Mr. Rayner!" said he quickly. "You could not have chosen a worse person to in- trust the srcret to, I am afraid. "What do you mean?" "Why, he's the most talkative man I know. I have met him at Newmarket sev- eral times â€" a bright amusing fellow enough, but the last man to whom I should tell anything I did not wish to have repeated for the amusement of the next person he met." "Oh, but he would not repeat a thing like that! ' said I earnestly, "He scolded me for telling him, and said such confidence should never be repeated, no matter to whom." "That's all right," said he much relieved. "Then I shall tell Mrs. Cunningham you didn't tell any one. The poor woman is half out of her mind it was she who sent me over here to-day, to find out whether you had spoken about it in the presence of any one who could use the knowledge. For my part, I thought it very likely she had only imagined she had spoken to you abQut it; but I want an excuse for coming so I gained my object, and put her under aa ob- ligation at the same time." I did not pay any attention to the im- plied flattery m these words; I was too much interested in the robbery. "And is no one suspected?" I asked, with trembling lips. "At present we know nothing, and we suspect a diflferent person every minute. The robbery had been so well arranged, and was carried out with such discrimination â€" for nothing but the best of everything was taken â€" that at first the servants were sus- pected of complicity. But my man Gordon, who has no end of sense, suggested that it was only fair to them all to ha.e their boxes examined at once. This was done, but no trace of anything was found. Of course that does not prove that they may not have given iaformation to the thieves, whoever they were. There has been a gang of navvies at work on the railway close by for the past fortnight, and a hat belonging to one of them was found in the garden, and has been identified already but it seems that the friends of the man it belongs to caa prove that he passed the night drunk in the village. So at present we know absolutely nothing, Gordon told me privately that he doesn't believe either the servants or the navvies have had anything to do with it, and he pointed out the resemblance between thi^ and a robbery which took place some time ago at the house jof another of my friends, Lord Ealston, whom I had been staying with not long before. He believes that it is the workof a regular Jewell robber, and that very likely he got a discharged servant to supply htm with information. I pointed out to him that no servant who had long left could have given him such precise details as he seems to have had concerning the jewels of the ladies who were only visit- ing there, for instanoa. But -I could not convince him. As for Mrs. Cunningham's, that really seems marvellous, because she is a cautious sort of of woman. I suppose her inaid some how found out the secret, and then told it to â€" Heaven knows who." "1 suppose so," said I mechanically. I was trying to put together what I had just heard and what I had already known. Mr, Carruthers rose. "I need not trouble Mrs. Rayner at all now that I have see* you," said he. "Mrs, Rayner!" I repeated, in the same mechanical stupid way. "Yes. When the servant told me you were out, she said I could see Mrs. B»yner. I did not want to disturb her. knowing that she has the reputation of being an iuTalid. Bat she insisted." "Wait one moment," said I, as he took my hand. " Are you quite sure, Mr. Car- ruthers, that the robbery took place last night." Before I uttered the last words, his eyes suddenly left my face, and were fixed on some object behind me. I turned, and eaw in the doorway Mrs, Rayner, paler and more impassive than ever, and Sarah. All the doors at the Alders opened noiselessly, aad they had overheard me. And, as I looked at Sarah's face, my heirtbeat faster with fear and with sus- picion become certainty, for I knew that I was on the right track. CELAPTER XXIL In his astonishment at Mrs. Rayner's ghostlike entrance and appearance, Mr. Carruthers had not paid much attention to the end of mj question, and I detennined to try to get an another opportunity of patting it to him. He expressed his sorrow to Mrs. ^yner at having caused her the tsonble of receiving him when she was evi- dently suffering, and said that he had ven- tured to call to tell Mi€B Christie about a great robbery which had taken place in tie houfie she had so recently visited, Danham Court. Nothing but physical suffering could have explained the impassive stol- idity whith which she listened, her great gray eyes staring straight in front of her, to the account of the robbery. She made no (xmment until it was over then she turned to him and asked, with a faint ex- pression of relief â€" "Then nobody was hurt?" "Oh, no, there was no collision at alll They vanished like spirits, leaving no trace." "I am very sorry they were not caught. Vf y husband has been in town since Tuesday morning, and I am nervous while he is away," said she, like one repeating a lesson. All this time Sarah stood by her, smelling bottle in hand, as if prepared for her mis- tress to faint. Yet to my eyes Mrs. Riy- ner did not look worse than usual. When he rose to go, I ascompanied Mr. Carruthers to the door, where a dog- cart was waiting for him; but Sarah, whose duty by her mistress's side was suddenly over, followed close behind, and I had no chance of suggesting to him my own suspicion about the burglary. When he had gone, I reflected that it was better for me not to have said anything to a comparative strang- er to implicate one of the servants in the house where I was living until I had con- sulted Mr. Rayner. To give vent to my excitement over the important secret I fancied myself cb the track of, I wrote to Liurence, With Sarah about, a letter was a thins; requiring cau- tion, as the event proved. I was so sensible of this that I contented myself with giving an account of Mr. Carruther's visit and of the robbery at Denham Court, only saying, in conclusion, that it might have some con- nection with what he had seen, and that I had something to add to that. I said that I would write more fully as soon as I had an opportunity of going to Beaconsbargh to post my letter myself and then I said a great deal more concerning different things which were perhaps really lesr import- ant, but which were much pleasanter to write about. The postman called for the letter-bag at six every evening; so I waited at the school- room window until I saw him come up to the house and heard. Sarah give him the bag; then I;ran out into the hall, as if I ha 1 only just finished my letter, and put it into the bag which he held. Sarah could not even see the direction as I put it in, and I congratulated myself upon my artful^ strat- egy; but I might have known that she was not to be baffled so. I had stood at the door and watched him turn into the drive, snd^returned to the schoolroom in a flutter of excitement at my own audacity, when from the window I saw Sarah flit after him. I dashed out on to the lawn, and got into the drive just m time to see the postman fasten up th 3 bag and go on again, while Sarah, saying something about "a misdirection" put a letter into her pocket; and I knew that it was mihe. With my heart beating fast I walked up boldly to her. "What did you take my letter out of the bag for, Sirah? ' said I, half choked with anper. "It's not your letter. Miss. What should 1 want with any letter of yours?" she said looking down at me insolently. "It's a letter to my sister that I've forgotten to put the number of the street on." I knew quite well that this was a false- hood, but I could not prove it for I had indeed been too far off to recognize my let- ter when she put it into her pocket, and my moral certainty counted for nothing. She knew this, and stalked off defiantly to the house with my letter, while I crept back to the schoolroom, and sobbed bitterly at'the tyranny I was suff.ring from this hateful woman. Well, it would soon be over now â€" that was a comfort. I would tell Mr. Rayner ail I had seen on Tuesday night, and about the cart Laurence hud met outside â€" perhaps I would not mentiou it was Laurena j who saw it â€" and about Parke's wishing to avoid me at Danham Court. I should not dare to suggest to Mr. Rayner any doubt about Gor- don, who seemed to be in some way a per- sonal friend of hie. But now. with all my thoughts turned to jewels and jewel-robber- ies, I could not help thinking again about that strange disappearance of my own pen- dant while I was staying at Denham Court, aid its restoration by this man. Then his treaitng Tom Parkes as a stranger at Den- ham Court, when I had seen them together one night at the Alders, seemed to me now rather a suspicious circunstaices. I con- gratulated myself on having been so cautious in my letter to Liurence that Sarah would not learn much by reading it, and wonder- ed when I could make an excuse to go to Beaconsburgh, to post one to him with my own hands. It seemed very hard to be cut off in this way from the relief of openins; my heart to him but it would be all right on the morrow, when Mr, Rayner came back â€" she would not dare to annoy me then. But the next morninc, fc my great disap- pointment, I got anouier letter, saying he should not be back until Monday morning. I had written to him on Wednesday, and he had got my note. He said, as I men- tioned that the weather was bad and the fogs had begaa to be thick, it would be better for Mrs. Rayner to I leave the ground floor and sleep up-stairs. "I expect you will have diflloulty in per- suading her to leave her own room," the letter went on; "but I am so anxious about her, for it seems to me she has looked paler than ever lately, and I feel so sure she be be better on a higher floor tliat I beg you dear Miss Christie, to use all your powers of persuasion to induce her to move. Tell her that it is only for a time, that she shall go back to her old room aa soon as the weather is warmer again; tell her I wi«h it tell her anything likely to affect her. I have great trust in your diplomatic powers, UttVe madam; and I att' cipate the happiest results f ro^tliem in thb instance. 1 have given Sarah orders by letttr to prepare the bie front epare-room. I ww^delighted with thia letter 1 it made me tor the moment angry with Mn. Bay- ner for her persistent ignmng of his kind feeing towards her. But, when I remem- bered her agony over her child on the night ot Haidee's illness, and the settled melancholy I now knew how to detect under her cold demeanor, pity got the better of me again, and I was glad to have an oppor- tunity at last of doing her some good. She was slways supposed to be attached to her room on the ground floor, and Mr. BAyner wrote as if it would be difficult to persuade her to move. But I hal two powerful weapons in her husbands loving letter and her affection for Hwdee, and I resolved to use them well. As I was dining alone, I wis just wonder- ing how I could get at her, when the opportunity presented itself as if at my wish, "Mrs. Rayner feels well enough to have tea in here with you, miss, this afternoon," said Sarah. That then would be my chance. Bat I reflected that I could not be very persuasive at teatime, subject to the chance of our common tyrant, Sarah, pouncing down upon us, I went out after dinner and sat, in spite of the damp, on the seat at my "nest" for a little while, trying to invtnt subtle plans for inveigling Mrs. "Rayner in to the drawing room or the school room for an un- interrupted tete-a-tete. As I sat therp, I heard some one coming along the path from the house. The trees between were not yet bare enough fcr me to see through; but, when the steps had gone by I crept through the branches, peeped out, aad saw Sarah getting over the stile into the path which led to the high road. I ran indoors, asked Jane where Sarah was, and learnt that she had gone to Beaconsburgh to get some gro- ceries I had noticed a black bag in her hand. I seemed to breathe more freely at once. Now was my time for seeing Mrs. Riyner, I was a little shy about going into the left wing without an invitation she might be asleep, or she might not wish to be disturb- ed. I thoueht I would reconnoitre first, Sol went into the garden with my knife and basket, as if to cut flowers, gathered a few China asters, and ventured round, past the drawing-room window, through the wet rank grass and the swampy ercU, to the left wing, I had put on my goloshes, but they were not of much use, for I sank iato pools that came over my shoes. Still I went on, through an unwholesome ma» of fallen and decaying leaves, to the dark yews and laurels that grew round Mrs. Rayner's window. I had never ventured here since the evening of my arrival, when I strayed thb way in my explorations, and been startled by my first dim view cf Mrs. Rayner's pale face at the window of what must be her room. Again I pushed aside the branches of the now almost leafless bar- berry-tree and looked for the secondtime at the gloomy window, overhung by an ivy- bush which now seemed to fall lower than ever. There was no face looking out this time a broken gutter-pipe had caused the rain-water to form a sort of slough under the window, so that I could not go close to it but went as near a? 1 could, singing, and cutting off little branches of yew, as if not knowing where I had strayed. My ruse suc- ceeded. Just as one of the branches I had pulled down towards me swung back into its place, Mrs. Eiyner's white face, looking astonished and alarmed, appeared at the window. I smiled good morning to her, and made a show of offering her my flow- ers. I wanted her to open the window. This she seemed reluctant to do. But I stood my pround until at last she put a hesi- tating baud upon the fastening. When the window was just a few inches up, I siid, opening upon a point where we had sympa- thyâ€" "Sarah has gone to Beaconsburg.h I saw her off. I hope she will be a very long time." 1 was right. She had opened the window, which was a little above the level of my head, more confidently and I sav that it was barred inside, " Haidee is so much better to-day, Mrs. R-tyner, I think she might come down stairs fur a little while to-morrow into the dining- room, if we make a good fire there. She was asking to-day why you did not come up and sea her, and I told her you were not well enough. She is very anxious about you." "Give her my love," said Mrs. Riyner, with a faint smile. " I could not do her so much good a? you have done." There was a plaintive expression of helplessness in these words that touched me. "Thank you. Miss Christie. "lam 30 glad she is better," remarked I, venturing impulsively into the slough that I might stretch my hand up to the window- ledge. "I think it did her good to go up- stairs. The lower part of this house is damp, you know Doctor Lowe said so," She seemed to shrink back into her- self a litkle at these words however, she said â€" " You have been very good to the child. It was I .jet for her to go." "Yc«., I think it was. Dja't you think that tae mist from the marsh makes vour room very cold this weather, Mrs. Riy. nerlf (to bb continued.
