On the warning cfâ€" ear. the 20th (A Feb- mary, 1870, 1 readied my offioe at the ukoal hoar, half pimt nine o'clook; and having pe- maed my wtten, munmoned my confidential dark, Mr. Wil'Oo. (•Are Mr. NorthwicVs papers ready?" I aakel, as ho entered my rorm. "Qnite ready," replied Mr. Wflion; who jnraaing irtiat I wanted, had brmuthtthe -aocnmcnts with him.. He placed them in dne ordf r before m;; and after glanoing throngh them, and satis- fying myself as to the manner in wiiioh they had Man prepared, I sat awaiting the ap- pnarsnnn of the gentk mux 5or whote signa- the papera were ready. Roluid Northwiok waa not only a good dient, bat a dear friend of m'ne. Hii fath- er before him bad borne the rame relatioa to me. As my age lay about midway be- tween the two generations, it had bacn [my imtone to be abM to stand oa equal terms of friendship with both father and son so that npon tiie death of the former, the man- agement of all the legal bnsinecs oonneoted with the estate oonned in my hands as befwe. The partionlsr bnsiaess which now en- gaged me on Roland's behalf was a very pleasant task to me. He was to be married u a few days, and the match was in every way snitable and desiiable one. Miss Mas- grave, the lady of his choica, was well bom, well dowered, and moreover, a beaati 'aland amiable girL Everything was going well and smoothly â€" no hitohes in the aettle- menta, no nnpleasantneas with.fnenda on either side. In all human probability the union would bring happiness to the oontract- nsparties. I was very fond of Eoland; but having known him from a boy, did not hesitate to lecture him en certain things connected with his batchelor life which had, from sime to time, come to my knowledge. Tet many of these were only the faults common to young men, and I felt convinced that marriage, and marriage with a girl he really loved, would lead him lo far away from the errors of youth that there would be little diance ot his returning to them. In truth, I hai 80 hish an opinion of tiie young man, that I womd not have hesitated to entraJst my own daughter's happineaa to hia keep ing. He poasesaed a large property, and as there were aeveral thinga connected with hia eatato which I wiahed aettled before hia mar- liage and departure on the long tour he pur- posed making with hia bride, I waa vary buay with hia afEura. Thia morning he had promiaed to call at my cffioe, a^ut ton o'clock, to aign aeveral doonmenta. Later on, I knew he intended to leave town; ao aa the papera were of importance, I felt much annoyed when half-paat ten came and be had not yet made hia appearance. I locked over the papera once more, then aaid to my clerk: "Perhapa Mr. Northwiok miaunderatood me and thinka I am coming to him. I will take a cab and go to Jc rmyn street. If he should call, ask him to wait till I return." Roland Northwiok lived in obambera in Jermyn Street. Hia town houac bad been let fnmiahed aince bia father's death. Now, I waa glad to think, the baohelor'a obam- bera wonld be given up, and the honae acca- pied by its owner and hiayoungwife aa acoa aa they aougbt fit to return from their Con- tinental tour. .In a few minutes I alighted at No. â€" Jermyn Street. Even aa my hand waa on the bell, the door was sut^denly thrown opsn, and some one roafaing out nearly threw me down. It waa Roland's groom, a reapectable man, whom I know well by eight. Hia face waa blanched with terror, hia looka were wild. He see mad to recog- nize me, and gapped, "Oh Gol! My maa- terl Upataira!" Then ahouting, "Police! Police 1" he ruahed madly down the atreet I ran up ataira to Roland's rooms. Oataide the bedrocm door cronched a tetr:fied aer- vant maid, with horror in her eyes- Inside, on the bed, lay Roland Northwiok, appar- ently fMt atleep, but in a aleep that would never be broken; for a felcn hand had driven a knife deep into his heart. It waa a tight I have never forgotten â€" a eight I never shall forget. Even after all thcae years it cornea to me in my dreams. Had the murdered man been a total atrioig- er to me, that sight would have haunted me; but as one of my dearet friends lay there, what wonder if the ahcck almost deprived me of my aenaea! I waa enable at the time to realize the extent rf the calamity, and atood g?zing at the frigbtfcl sight as motioa- leaa. and almoat aa powerleaa aa the form stretched in front of me. Then came the rush of feet, and the room filled with people. Policemen fcuaded m*! from thebedaide, and I heard the worda, "Make room for the doc- torl" I aaw a gentleman bead over and examine the corpse; then he ahook his head, and I knew that every lingering hope mnat be dispelled, and that Roland North- wick lay d( a 1 before me. Mnrdered as he slept â€" but by whom? As I stood by the dressing table, resting my liand npon it for support, I placed it ac- cidentally upon a morszl of paper. Why, I knew not; but my fingers closed on it, and mechanically, I read a few words written there. I am sure at the time I was quite ' unable to grasp the meaning, but the idea most have come to me somehow that the sabstance of that letter, or whatever it was, ought not to be exposed to every carious eye. This must have been the reason why I folded the paper and pli^oed it in my pocket. Shortiy after the room was cleared, and the necessary stops taken to sift the dread' ful mystery. The inquest opened the next day, and, after some formal evidence, waa adjoomod. The doctor deposed that Roland had been kiUed by a stab witii a knife, the point of which had penetrated his heart, ao tliat death must nave been inatantineona. l%e groom stated, tiwt aooording to eaatom, he had oaDed in Jermyn Street for his master's orders at Bin* o^doot in the monmig. He w-aa informed that Mr. Nortkwiek had not yetiiaen. He had them waited an hear, and, aa hia master did not make ton anpaw- anoo, had raffed at tha bedMNMs doer wilb- oat getting amy raapooae. At half-past ten he knooked again witiMMtanooeaa. Shortly afterward, fsMing his master, who waa eraUy. aa •vlynMr.maat beill.lii â-¼ratared to open the door, and i ahastiy disoovery.

It was no assassia'a dagger, ot weapon a robber would ba likely to choose. It was simply a short bladed, white handled carv- ing knife, audi as are designed to carve poaltry or tfuae. Use had worn itta • sharp poinC and a staong hand had found it an wsy task to drive it up to the very handle in poor Roland's breast. It aflForded no clew whatever likdy to lead to the de- tection of the wretch, who had wielded it. The maker's name had long been worn away and thtre must have becm milliws of similar knives in existence. The servant at the chambers next gave evidence. At first she roundly attted that by no poadbility could anyone have entered the house that morning witboat her know- ledge; but, under pressure, admitted that whilst cleaning the doorateps, bstween euht and nine o'clock, she had crossed the roaif to say a few worda to another servant, leaving the door wide open during her absence. How long had she been away? At first she only contessed to a minute, but a series of judic- ious questions proved her to have been ab- sent from a quarter to half an hour. She was aure no one entored the bouse, although she admitted that she had gone into the oppoaito house to inspect some new article of finery whieh her friend had purchased. This was sufficient. The murderer had waited liis time, entered the open and de- serted door, ^obably intent upon robbery, then, having struck the fatal blow, and walked away, unnoticed and ansuapected. It was all clear. The jury retumad a ver- dict of ' Wilful murder by some person or persons unknown." Govornment offered the usual reward of a hundred pounds, the heirs of the dead man increaaed this to five hun- dred pounds, and Scotland Yard was all agog. I need not enlarge upon the terrible time I had during those daya. The anguiah of Mira Mnagrave, who inaiated upon aeeing me and heuing aU the harrowirg detaila from my lips. The genuine aorrow X myaelf felt at tiie loss of my friend. The utter sad- neae and draarlncaa of the funeral, which took the place of the anticipated gay wedd- ing. The inquiries of well meaning but in- quiaitive frienda. The dreadful aight that waa ever before my eyea. All theae com- bined to render me almoat unfit for buaineas. Indeed,' what I should have done, without the assistance of my confidential Cjerk, Mr. Wilson, I cannot telL He rendered me yeoman's service a% that time, and resolv- ed to repay him when an opportunity pre- sented itaelf. James Wilson waa a man of about thirty- six; gentlemanly, sedate, and trustworthy. He had now been with me rome three j eua, and I placed every ronfidenoe in him, and respected his great ability. Originally he hao practisad on his own account, aa a solicit- orâ€" aomewhere in the West of England, 1 believe; but being one of those many men who are better off as se.-van's than as mas- ters, he had manrg ia lo come to grief over that precipice tha. yawns before all young scdicltors â€" transactiona with apesulative builders. After his failure he was strongly recommended to me as fit to fill a respon- sible post, and I installed him as my princi- pal clerk. Although a quiet, re ticent man, I soon dis- covered that be was well educated. I knew nothing of him in hia private capacity. The few well-meaning advancea, in a social way, which I had at firat made to him, had been reapectfuUy but decidedly declined, so that when office hours were over he went his own way. 1 did not even kcow where he lived. For all I knew it might be in an attic; but aa he waa the first to reach the office and the last to leave it, it was no conc^ m of mine. He waa an admirable clerk; but at firat I waa diatreaaed by the melancholy look he al- waya woreâ€" a look as though the world had not been kind to himâ€" but after a time I ceaaed to notice it; or conoluded that, in apite of his unhappy loska, my clerk waa as com- foirtable as the majority of people. The press of a professional business always seema to come when you ate least able to cope with it. It waa so at the time when the terrible event happened. Laaving evsry thing connected with Roland Northwiok oat of the queatiou, I had more work than I could do. Wilson waa my right hand, left hand, head and all, at the time. He worked ai I believe no clerk ever yet worked, and hia p^e face told of nighta spent in my ser- vice. I was afraid the strain would be too great for his rather delicate locking frame but he assured me hia health waa goad, even ii bis appearance belied it. It waa well I had with me some one whom I could traat to attend to my work, as, in truth, for some days I could think of little the than Roland North wick, and wonder, as ail the world was wondering, who killed bira. Robbery, said the general public: murder- ed by a cemmon criminal for the sake of plunder. Robbery, said S3otl*nd Yard, and easily to oe u-aced^the watch and chain will give ua the clew Robbery was Mr. Wilson's opinion when I talked the master over with him. Robbery, said all poor Ro- and's friends, save one. I alone knew tUat robbery had not been the murderar'a aim that if the watoh and chain had been taken it waa but to throw the hunters on a falsa scentâ€" that the man who stmok that deadly blow, struck it for vengeance, and ven- geance only. Not toat I knew a zmui in the world who waa Roland Northwick's enemy Gxj, pleasant Roland, with a smile, a kind word, and, whan neMed, an open purse for everyone. But ua I smoothed out that slip of paper, which I bad picked up from hu dresamg table, I found theae words: "My hnsbuid knows all. I oonld not help it. Bswaie." The writing was, of oomse. a woman's; this was. doubtiess, why in tiiat dreadful moment my oosifiised brain had led me to oonoealthe words whose numm 'mg attiiat time I coold not grasp.

Roland h^ lived as many another man lives, taking his pleMore when he found it, an I counting not the ooet. H 8 life, I fesred, had been shed to appowe the vengeance of an njorsd husband. He was no Bbertine; but he was young, and few young mm can resist tomptation when it as- saOs tiiem in the shape of a fair womw. I may have been wrongâ€" I weewrOTgin the course I took, bu* I was fuUy rewlved that the letter which I alone had seen should not become public propertyâ€" that it should not serve s a theme for the newspaper to enlarge upon and to point out innnotnons paragraphs what the wsgesof sin, eto., must be. Poor Roland's mar ler had rung through England, and the mind of the pub- lic had been greatly stirred ty it. It was unprecedented tiiat a man should be killed in broad daylight, in the centre of a popu- lous neighborhoxl, and that theasMssin should escape soot frae. Already the pa- pers had begun to sneer at the incompetency of the detectives, and to hint that a change in the prwent system was desirable. More- over, Iwas anxious that no word o! what I suspected riiould reach Miss Musgrave's ears; nothing that should lead her to think that aught save robbery had been the mnr- derf r's ob j' ct. So I determined to keep the matter secret until the inquest was over. Then I sent for the detective in charge of the case. I waa as eager as anyona that the guilty should be brought to justice, so lost no t-me in endeavoring to put the police on l^e right scent. "Mr. Sharpe," I said, "you are do'ng all tha*: can be done, I hope." ' Everything, sir; and I hoped to have caught him before this. But, strange to say, we can find no trace of the atolen pro perty. I am afraid it'a in the mdting-pot. " "Before you go any farther," I said. "I want you to disabuse your mind of the idea that the murder was committed for the sake of plunder." The dee:!tive smiled, as maoh as to say, "Everyone thinks be knows better than we do." "If I wanted to earn this large reward," I continued, "I sboald ascertain all about Mr. Northwick's habits â€" what acquaint- ances he had of which his friends knew nothing â€" any ties he might have formed. In fact, I will be candid with you, Mr. Sharpeâ€" I know that a day or two before he died my poor friend -received a letter warn- ing hm tobctware of sc ma woman's husband. I can tell you no mora than this, but it ought to be enough." "You should have said so before the coro- ner, sir. fair and liwi wasahdfshsatof koil^ pariiaps, to pNT«» aay name or ilaotiooathafe.good "Yea â€" and given the guilty min warning. Now he suspecta nothing, should easily be discovered." This reasoning of mbe was so cogent that Mr. Shwpe was forced to sgr-^e with it. I could give him no more iniormatioa, so he departed, certain of claiming the reward in a week's time. I heard no more i or some days, save the usual statement that the pouoe had a clew and were following it. When I raw the detec!;ive again he was quite crestfallen. "I have made every inquiry," he sud, "but I cannot find a word of scandal against Mr. Northwick. I think, sir, that you are making a mistake." "I am not," I ri plied. "The blow was struck m reveogA. and the m*n who atruok it ia probably in London now." Bat it waa no uae. Tne reward wai never c'amed, and poor Roland'a marder went to awell the already long liat of andit covered and unavenged cr'mea. After a while a atiUmore appalling tragedy drove it fr^m the public mind, and only those closely in- terested continued to think of it. I had done all I could, so I lo3ked the myeterioaa slip of paper in my secretaire, wondering whether fate or chance would some day re- veal the writer's name to me. It appeared to me that the whole affair bad been terribly mismanaged; as, with such information aa I bad been able to give Sharpe, saspiciou at least, should have fallen on st me one. However closely poor Roland m=ght have veiled any indisorstion of his, surely the skill of Scotland Yard should have laid it bare. There must have bsen meetings- there must have been servanta who carried lettera or messagesâ€" there must have been some persons who could throw light on the affair; and yet notthe slightest trace of the intrigue which I suspected could Inspector Sharpe's skill discover. I must confess that as I placed the paper in a safe drawer, I waa inclined to agree with the newspspars that a change was needful in our det ctive arrange- manta. ° Five years passed by. The grass had grown long on Roland Northwick's graveâ€" his memory had vanished from all but a few hearts. If his nam9 were casually mention- ^orthwickl He committed suicide, or was »• « "omethingâ€" I forget now what it was. Everybody save myaelf had given up the hope of seemg his murderer banged, but I had a conviction that the piece of paper lymg m my desk would seme day or another bring the guilty man to jusuce, Tne five years had been very nneventiul and was b^ginningto kwk forward to takini^ Ufa aomewhat easier; but when a manisS toe swun of a large professional buuness, he finds great diiibuTty in ro^shing tiie shore; of retirement.

Yet at the time of which I now writoâ€" five years after Northwick's murder â€" I be^ to realize the fact that I waa not quite so young ae I was so, after much considera- tion, and, perhaps, not altogether heedless of what appeared jast. I decided that the hour had oome to offir Wilson a partner- ship. He had now lean with me eight years. His coudnot and general bearing had been irreprFaobablo. His trausaotione were all striotiy honorable. I fdt I should be happier with the business in tiie hands of a man whom I so thoroughly knew and trusted, than were I to take as a partner one unprovedâ€" although the latter course might be more advantageons in a pecuniary sense. 1 told Wilson of my good intentions to- ward himself. His pale faoe flashed, and, for once, I saw him manifest signs of real feeling â€" so mich so tliat I began to hope, that, atanoiDg on terns of equality, we might be more comosnionable. Jadge of my aurprise when he said "I am really much obliged to you, Mr. M»itland^deeply grateful for this proof of confidence â€" ^but I retrret to say I mast de- cline your offer.' "Decline it, Mr. Wilson I You must be mad." "Perhaps I tmâ€" perhaps I sm philosoph- icalâ€" I told you I was peculiar. I am, al- though you woi't believe it, a restless man, and I know if I were bound ia partnership wich you I sbonld wait to 1 ave yon before three months were over. Now that I can qoit you at any tim I choose, I stay on, and probably sihall oontiaue to do so if yon wixh to keep ma." The man waa an nnsatiifactory riddle; but I did not like to see bim throwing away hii chances ia tbis fashion, so I ssil "B It, Wilson, have yon no belongings- lo fami'y dependent npon you?" "I have no near relatives," he replied. ••Wby don't yon get mirried? Yon wonld find life a grtat deat happier with a I ise pheasant wife to look after yon." "I ai all never get mrrriid â€" womsn and I don't agree." "Tben you are quits determined to refuse my offer?" "Quito, Mr. Maitland. Thanks to your generosity. I have a larger ioorma than I want, and am tree from ul bn iaess anxiety; so I oonld not be be better ff. Bit will you allow me to shake your hand and f^ank vou, O0C9 and for all, for your iivariable kiadness tome?" I said no more, but held out my band. Wilson grasped it, and then returned to bisdeakandbis diafto as though nothing unusual had happend. and he had not de- liberately thrown away the chance of a lif- time. (to BS CONCLTnED.)

In every large cuy there is avast asscciition of m?n- dicante, to whom every one who begs for a iving must belong. At the head is on stoled the Beggar King. His authority is absolute; and to him the others are amenable. The society has a code of rules, tnl by this every beggar has a right, according to cus- tom, to stand at the door of a dwelling and howl, sing, knocK, or maka any other noise he pless^B, until the occupant gives him one cash. Then he is obligea to desist and can apply at the same place no more that day. No two are allowed to beg together at the came place, yet theyare so nnmsrous that few doors are free from their clsmoringa long at a time. The proj^etors of ]a^e estab- lishments, who desire to save themselves from the annoyance of the continual viaita- tioM, do to by paying a certain sum at once to the Kmg, who caosee a written statem^t to that effect to be pasted by the aide ot the door, and this pocures for the bouse cer- tarn exemption. No beggar dare approach It, for, though few cf them, can read, all recognise the seal ot theur chief, and if one transgresses he may be beaten by the occu- ^ute of the house, or, being reported to the K.ing, be more severely punished.
