THE LUMP QF'dAY. My htnband waa a sculptor In New Orhwna. He was not a poor artist, but Wtwll^y. and aprat hie mnoey laviably, so ! that our houae was crowded with ersrly \ n trifle*, and our pbte tbe finest la tbe city. ' Often frienda spoke of ua, balf in jest ; is and balf in twroest. of the lamp ing bail our dwelling offered to burglars or dise honest sertwnU; bat Lndleicc langbed at tbeir trarnmgs, and 1 ocver knew fear wben be was by. * So we lleed fire years, lest carofnl of bolta and ban than many who bad little n saee tbeir focr walla to proteeff aod nqver \ suffering tare from some petty pilfering. In the antumn of 18—. we had jeat re^ turned from a ti Ip Inland, and Ludieioo , e waa busy oo new work; fresli clay bad *■ bren carried to bis studio, models engaged and everything prepared far a busy win! * ler. I bad my new dntlea and cares also. | for an Infant, not three rnaotbi old. lay npoo my breast. And we were eery ; proud aod happy in our new treaaore; ncete In our lives bad we talkeJ so much r of tbe future. Every hour of tbe coming 1 winter waa portioned off One night 1 put my babe to sleep End : . went out to tbe kiicban to see tbe cook ] ; concerning breakfast, bat could not find , . her. Our errroots were forbidden to re- j , main out later than nine, and It was near- ' , ly eleven. I felt angry with the girl, the ( more so tbat she had left an outside door ; awinging In tbe wind: and with an ex- , clamaiion uf Impatience I went to dose . 1 il- A" I alood foi a moment on tbe Ihres- , . bold. I could see the garden still full of , f flowers, and at tla foot, leaning over the , B low fence, atood tht girl, Jane, talking to , ' Tbe moon ahooe full a poo Ibeni. and 1 , 1 I taw the features of both plainly. Jane . I waa a light mulatto, but It was impossible la tell whether tlie man waa her onlor or ; , a (Withy while. But white or tOEek, Die , expression of bis face was brutal, full of ' ( cunning; a face to be seen among felons I gxxed on moment, tbeo 'called out ( sharply and quickly. In a moment Jane , was with me. apologising in ber servile , way, and taking my rebuke very quietly. ' j - 1 gave ber my orders and lent her to bed. f : and then I went up stairs and forget all ; ' about tbe matter, though it was in my , . mind wben I was al tbe door. For, once j in my room, I found my husband had , - brought in upon a board a piece of -wet ' 1 clay and act U at tbe /oo! of the bed. ! "To-morrow, tbe first thing, I am going ! , , to begin— can you guess whatP asked i Ludivico. ' "No." aaid I v "Our baljv." said my husband; "we will make f sleeping cupiJ of him. It , * shall be my first work this winter." , I laughed with glee. •'I shall pri» it so." I mid. "Hets !* Jorrly, Is he not?" end 1 kissed tbe child . Vdrij as be slept An hour after thst I f ; was sleeping also, tranquilly, dreamleasly. ; The lamps were out, all was darkntssand i pvaee. ( How long H lasted, I do not know. 1 - awakened with a start, aad after lying a , ' few momenta, I became conscious thst ; some ooe waa moving stealthily about tbe t ' room— aome one with hare feet. Boon I r heard a stumble and an oath, suppreased, , but plain: then tbe board on which tbe clay rested seernsd to be pushed across tbe floor. My heart throbbed fearfully. I ^ knew that burglars were in tbe houae. aod a I thought only of our perianal safety. ( They might lake all, if -they did not barm j husband and child. I watched and listened holding my bnatb until a ray of light shone in tbe room, and I knew tbe thief ( bad a dark lantern. I heard rhr tinkle of ( the different arrideahe slipped into his , bag. I beard drawers aad wardrobes stealthily epeocd. and I prayed that bis cupidity might be satisfied, and tbat be ( might go, leaving ua unharmed. t Alaal tbe prayer Ihii vain. Some oolw ( than ;the rrU awoke my bus- 1 I strove in vgln ts restrain hlmHe shouted. "Who k tbereF" and mule ( foap^e dark abape jur- visible. [ , In an inatant Ibe laKtcrn was dsrfecnt ( and t struggle in tie dark began. I e shrieked frantically, Bteps and light' approached. A pistol Was fired, a heavy . fall followed. I heard ibe robbtr dash B from the rScm and down tbe ataira, and tbe next moment tlV riooi waa full of ^ trembling servants, and I Saw by tbe lighu they -Carried, Ludivico lying upon tbe . A*-r, writcring in bla blood. I called bla name. He made no answer- . | 1 lifted tip fail face. AJssT.tbe truth was , written there — tbe bullet had entered his , heart He was dead! What need to 1 dwell oo tbat md time? Friends flocked ^ , to my sid, ^ot I cared for nothing, now that be was dead. Tbe houae had been t stripped of valuables and moocy. . It was tbe boldest robbery accompli*ed t for ysara— ssid the pnlioe. But despite c ell efforts— all offered rewards— tbe col- | prit was not -found. He bad escaped as a completely as though bt had vaalabed t Wben I bad buried my.dariicg in tbe J strange city of sepulchres, where the dead of New Orleans repose, and waited many , r weeks in hopes that his murderer might 4 J be found, 1 took my child and went borne fj - to my kindred In old OonaecticuL I mil f I wealthy, and in no fear of want daring V S my life. Bst tbe only posKsston I now 1 } valued was my child, tbe boy who some J - 1 day ought Wear bis. father's tnein. and t speak to me in bis father's voice. , ' 1 had dismissed Jatft. Bbe bad t*eo , but ahe-appewred innocent. Of al! lbs I J servants, I kept but one to assist me in i o packing, aod to travel north with fee. i While the packing wis going on she i came to me and aaid : "There's a quaes bit of day on a board , ~ under your bed, ma'am. Shall I throw , « awayr 1 buret Into lean. •. o "The last tiling Ua band rat toadied," r- I -Cried. "Oh, no.

Tbey treated the idea with in- ' i culrent pity, but I felt sure God would ■ " i help me. The face at the garden gate waa ' ' i (tamped open my memory. It was tbe 1 eoly clue I had hot it waa something. Soon I bad another. One day I hryan 1 to unpack my effects, and arrange them ' in my prevent borne. Almost al tbe lart of tbe work I came to tbat wbiah was to 1 be our sleeping cherub, but which »a» ' now, like tbe band which thought to mould It, a mere cold lump of clay. I : laid it on tbe table and looked at iL I thought to weep, hut amazement checked ' the tests. There In tbe midst of tbe dry mould, was Ins . impress of a fool— tbe I j lower part of a cause, large maimed man's "ifooL ' I The truth buret upon me at once. The robber bad trodden in tbe clay. 1 retnem- * , bered thai tbe stairs and floors wsre sp-v-ted with It. I remembered bis ejacnla- ' Hon and the thud of tbe clay against ibe : t-dstead. It was plain. I looked the doot.gnd sat down witb both hands to my A fierce joy possessed me. I knew ' not what In do. My bands had dahhlrd In cast-making ofien enough. I found ' , some plaster of 'Paris, and leonn tbe foot, ' I up to the InUep, stood before mc,wiih two ' ' toes gone — and an Incision In the aide. »■ , though it bad been cat away.. Wben I done this, and though il was a matter ; dowa, and lay a long while. The excitement had .been very great and 1 , on a fever, from which I nearly 1 j died. Yet, deapite ail this, nothing came of discovery. I waited and hoped "ix vain. A year passed— five — tbe sixth be- . gan and crept on until winter, and yet, though I hail written- lo Influential friruda . in New Orleans, nothing waa made of my discovery. At last I arid: "Tbe secret is trailed from human eyes forever. I must give up . hope." And I was calmer after that. My boy waa oow a comfort to me, and j 1 bad gone lo housekeeping with s young . sister fur my companion. She was a beauMy bouse grew gay, for X could not doom to dnllncsa. and young voicea ami ; and music filled tbe parlors al - , nightly. Sometimes, however, I waa alone there, while she waa away amidst gay scene! and merry friends, and then I thought until thinking waa a pain and the hours seemed yeara One cold winter night 1 had been thus ; was in a merry mood, and cast her fur wrappings from her fully, as she sal down by Ibe fire. "I've made a conquesj, my dear," she aaid. i "Is that anything new?" asked I. ] "He is- What do you say so a million- , "I should ask what ia be besides a mil- i "Oh a Cuban, forty odd, I suppose, and not a bit handsome; but be adores me al , ready. It's no joke, Ella, aod I always , aaid I would marry a rich man." "Not without loving him*" i "Bah! Its enough if be loves me. How love matches end?

In a worldly point of view i seemed a -good match lor aqy girl, and i 1 wailed to see tbe man. Three- days ( after I bad tbe opportunity. Grace bad been lo church In the evenmy boy waa Ui aad I bad to suy i away. Wbao U was time for service in i ever, I sat ky the window watching for I ber. Tbe bedroom was dark, and tbe i outside very bright; consequently 1 could see tbe garden very plainly. I Sooo Grace came up tbe path on a man's - arm. At Ibe gate- she bade him good r night, aod stopped lo say a Jew words. | He leaned with both arms folded on the fence outside. < I had acen the picture before— where? | with a leap my mind went back lo tbe i"V '■ my husband was msrderrd. 1 saw Jane, tbe mulatto cook, and her i oimpsn k<c; and, oh, merciful bearent: she man's face waa the feme. This waa i piaded by a fashionable hat -a fsahi-n- , able ea-.lar and cravat, an elegant overc- «t -finished the owtume; while the first face ' set off by ragged garments, the per- I were the same. I could have lain my hand uppo Ibe Bible and sworn to tbat fact I upon the apot- Aa 1 graw positive of Ihla. ! senses departed, as my awtar, wben ibe enured found me in a swoon upon the i i floor. When I recovered I doubted my osm ' sanity. I laid what I had seen to tbe illu- ' skc of moonlight and distance. I argued with myself that aOlD I bad ansa tbe Coban I most regard the affair asa delusion. 1 waited not patten: ly, but silently. Sooo ' -1 met him faos to fare in my own par. lor. The .moment wia a terrible one. I - knew now I bad made no mistake. , a in mj miml .Lai Uro t-rppanirn of Jane's

a ! night. Tiic:c was qp doubt now that Ibis s me thai to accuse a wealthy gentleman on . such slight grounds as the memory uf a 0 . face seen by moonlight, would br absurd. . I should be called insane. But, If 1 srtse 1 , this was a bold, bad man. and Grace should • 1 bave no more to do with bun. . 1 told ber e so tbat nigbL aod abe turned uo me aogriiy. "You should bave spoken soouer," she a laid. "It's guoe too far. I'm balf eoa gaged to him. It is a splendid runout far t a poor girl, and I'll marry him." a "Do you iose Win?" aaid I. < She laughed. "No. but as 1 said once -i before, be loves me. Tnat ia enough.I 1 shall get used to his ways and looks, no I doubt ; and shall he mistress of a splendid j 1 bouse, canisge. bone, ale., and shall r enjoy myself. ' il is only for bis ugly : face that you bale my Cuban. Don't yon s remember Shakespeare? "Misldte ine not for my complexion, etc." To be sure : be Is suspiciously dark; but iu Cuban— And changing at once from angry to - gray she kliord me. ^ B "Hhytas a horrible fare," 1 said; but ■ that Is noTal) Grace, this must not go ua. f 1 will tell you a secret. The face I saw. r over tbe gate ou that awful nigbL talking I to Jane— tbe face of one connected, 1 am 1 sure, with the murder, was this man's , fare; and be, Grace, is the man himself." i Grace answered with a laugh. ■ . "You are wiia," she aaid. "Tbat. you I hs\-e already aaid, was a ragged, wretched r felloa." \ I "Yes. bnl still Ibe same man in other • burglar." I "How did thia man make his money ?

The i.lca! Boesusvlhe poor man > is ugly ! Ill make him tell bow be came by hie fortune Bleep on IL and you'll see your insanity^' : She danced away, and 1 crept to bed - with a heavy heart. The next day she came to me.gleefully . i "Mr. Caliban made Lis fortune in I trade." she raid; "he took his father's - business and gave it up wben bis million was made. He showed me papers and tellers aod things I didn't understand. 1 though I pretended to. He didn't find his millions in peoples cupboards. Aod ' he baa popped tbe qnsatloo aod I bave accepted— so there's an end. Come I - know you've bad too much trouble, but don't brood over il aod go out "of your bead." She tried lo kiss me, but 1 held her "Listen, Grace," I said. If you marry this man and I discover afterwards that he •hall still denounce him." "And welcome," said she. Then with sudden childish burstof lesuvahec'as.-d "Oh, Ella, don't go craxy — don't to crazy! Try lo take com foil; try to t« yourself." Il was useless to argr further, and I left her. So ia-ing betrothed to Grace, the Cuban ' Mr.'Zenzee was his name, brought hit hideous face to rair house every nigbL I lcwi bed il, hut I determined to watch With Ibis end I endured Ihe sighl and lu~>rd them talk. At last I made him 1 mntradict himself as to tbe places be had ynot certain years. 1 confused him by blunt inquiries concerning Cuba. 1 became convinced tbat he was no mores Cuban than myself. TTien watching him •till closer, I saw terror as well as brutalI in bis eys. 1 knew the man feared something. Closer and closer my fancied i prods were gathered about him, until man who bad stolen barefoot aboet our room, aod tbe clay imprest! oo of whose mutilated foot I bad locked In a cloarl in my room. Could I see his foot : I should he sure— not else. And tbat has become tlie object of my. life; and all tills while, deapite of my prayers and prtgestationa, tbe preparations for my sister's marriage with Ms. Zen zee were going forward. The day waa seL Tbe time narrowed. Before that wedding day 1 bad sworn to i make my discovery. I worked now with two ends. My old one abd that of taviog Grace from becoming Ibe wife of a mon I watched tbe foot as a cat watches a I but discovered nothing. My : grew greater. Time moved too i fast, for me; I could bave prayed for days ! and hours lo lengthen those months out. : At but there »s> but ooe day between 1 the present In which 1 lived, ami that in which my sister sroald become Mrs. ZenOn tbat morning I awoke with my plan fully matured. I arid to Grace al breakfast: "Since tbe < wedding is so near, invite Mr. Zeczre lo : peas the evening with ua." Sbc looked up with a smile. "You are ootn lag to your senaca." slle 1 •aldr < i made no answer. After awhile 1 1 i asked again. "Do you love him?" aud ' abe aurfeWoi: "I told you cocc why I accepted him. i ia my reasoe stall.
