WWS & 2 S-3 SS Sf 2 © £ u & 33 S « in , ¦ SSt ^ VENTS began to 3 ucceed each other in rapid succession before the Hli « l W ^ kmg eyes 1 of DuttoB . He had now identified the house to which &i § H John Smith repaired ; lad discovered the beautiful young lady , and * H ^ R * had ascertained the facfc that it -was- Smith who . appeared as her gjuar-« & ** £ ? dmio . What right , lie- asked himself , had a common clerk to indulge in these fanciful recreations—to wander about the country at night—to visit lovely young Iadie 9 , and , in short , to behave as if life were a romance . Dufcton had done nothing of the kind , although he was a gentleman by birth , and might have taken these licences . He at once inferred that there must fce something wrong in Smith ' s accounts—a new object of investigation . He learnt . from the fair Aaavv indeed that the clerk was prudent and exact . " At Brbttpn ^ p wimps , " ha said to himself , but let us look at his books . " Tliere was ,, however , nothing there to , justify suspicion ; which only made Button
. suspect the more , and feel the more indignant at the deep villainy and &uiplicdtY of tha man . A wilder suspicion , crossed bis mind when ho once more dogged Smith to Cheam , ; for he now . prosecuted his watch best at early evening ; , which less excited his vague- alar aw * and . allowed , fcimto . repair afterwards to . the faithful ¦ Ajniy - Tho , gentle , creature ; had tacitly assumed a new position—donning a "dijaasi not , a , htiblo . wweanbHng a widow ' s weeds , a happy stroke-of good , taste "which charmed tha chivalrous Duttoa . He felt , that he was getting , to hunaelS a genuine . romance * of real life , but at . a cheap , rate ; and he really < bog ( wv to adore hi » Amy , who reciproe-afeed his devotion and gratitude .
Once more , partly to gratify the injured lady by a more exaot description of the " -lawless- Donuty " ¦ w tobm ho had seen so slightly , Dnttop clogged the wretched Smith , and obtained 1 more to toll than ho bargained for- He arrived before his plebeian , rival , and had to await him ; and he found that some oaev else was waiting for the same person . The slight oflicervlike man whom I > utton had soon before , loomed in the twilight , and aceitirned back again down the lane . Presently there wero voices , violent though , subdued*—there was » scufflo , —a piafcol went off * then another—* and { jjitnith hastify passed towards the cottage Aa soon as , Dutton * s nightmare , d limtbs could move , he made for the scene of action ; and thoro he foun 4 the
wyetqnous stranger sitting oa the road-aide . " Are you hurt , sir ? " 'Jhero waa a < fc first no answer , thqn a , very brief admission that" perhaps he was ; " and a few minutes later , tho spy found himself conducting towards his ow « cab m , imurediixuua v * b > q , waula na-t let a . hint eseapa of his injuries , hia contest , or Ilia object . Ho did not so . much as offer to pay for tho cab , nor whom loft at « lodging in Arundol-atrccfc did ho so much as thank his kind protector ; tmt Xtatton marked him , fooling as sure that the man would be kept at home for a day or two by Jbis hurta , as that ho might be made " lciug ' s wid < en , cQf " JBub hia not ) paying for tho cab I That rankled in tho mind of the anxious Duttoiv D « c « l © dl ^ Smith wnaa mor « oxponaive , to him thau hia Anj . yr ~ . far i » o > re ; now reason why he abliorrcd tho vxllain . And now ho was plunged in
a new expease , a& t&rough th © same heartless wretch . Bis petty cash was running law ; foa * tb * fcibol Jamrett , who had appointed him for a degrading reason , had tied hie * up and ; underpriced him , and now he should Save to trench upon his savings ; Touch his savings ! The idea haunted him . He hated Smith that made him do so ,. Jarrett that made it necessary , and * even thought that " Amy might have helped a leetle . " But of course he could not tell her so , ; an ( i , a ± : tha bottom of his heart he respected her for her discretion . Still them wa& tfce hateful thought—he should have to touch his savings to find moc ® mams * of unmasking the villain who had led him . into such an enormity as > "' eah-hire . " On the next raornjng v soon after Jarrett came to the place of business Smith , in the moat openj and xuablusbing way , took possession of his chief ' and they were closeted , together in Jarrett ' s closet , next to Dutton ' s . Jarrett
went in so much h&ssfce * thai ; he left his purse on the table—fat and gapinn-It was a common : negligence of his . " How , " asked the indignant Dutton , " could . «« c 7 i .. a mans have gat on in business ? " He would not keep his eyes oflf the purse , wfe&cJb he hated for its master ' s sake . Jarrett had no cab-hire to pay . I DUfetoax tried to listen , for he could hear that Smith alone was speaking" ; . but he could not distinguish the flow of murmured words ,, and he felt that his position with his ear to the door was not safe . An hour , or neair ^ did . the principal remain , and then he went forth by another door * leavahgf Smith , behind . Smith came once or twice into Button s room for pap . « J ! s . left behind by Jarrett : he was , with his own subordinaie hand , doing tjaweefetfs : special work , never entrusted to any other Hateful fact ;! The saaf ^ laatiag was clearly made out . To trust such a fellow , Jarrett 7 nusts have , bean swindled out of his confidence ; yet I ) utton thottnjht that he itiaiself ¦ would suffer too for the madness of his chief
Smith , too , muafe be a ^ very superior swindler , for he did not noiice the purse v though it lay ther » glaringly , impudently unprotected . Was it stupidity , or consuaaaaate-. art ? Dutton could hot answer , though , while he appeared to . be / meekly and sedulously writing , " as was his duty , " he was watching ; with ajfrfchie spite of a lame terrier . Smith again settled dowa to the chief partner ' s own table , in the chief partner ' s own room v and \ Xhitton was left alone with the purse , calculating the cab hire ando $ te& expenses '' to which he was put on Smith ' s account ;" hating Jarrefctfbr his .-stupidity , and , being so stupid , for his superior positition ; and further for ? favouring that swindler Smith . Why should Jarrett be- made to pay-for-thedetjeetiion of his deluder ? The idea was not strictly coaiventional morals , but Dutton felt its justice . Often he looked at the purse , and noted the ease- with which he might abstract a note ; and Jarrett would not miss it , for lie piqued himself not recording the money he kept
about him . It would'be far better than any mistake in the accounts ; mistakes are always suspicious things . However , after all , "honesty is the best policy , " and Dutton :, growa very nervous with that fiend , his headache , discarded the idea of taking ; the money . Indeed he never had thought of it ; no , he scorned it * Easy as the feat was , he was above it . , He knew it was easy , and Jarrett o-wed , the : safety of his pocket-book to the spotless honour of his partner-. There was xm * doubt of that , and to prove it , Dutton stealthilyapproached the book ,,, opened it , had all at his command , uninterrupted . N " ay , he proved beyo&d question , for he did it experimentally , that he could put one notes in , bi&j 1 B « aisteOiat-p . oel 5 et ; and if one note lay there throbbing , why not •« The sound of Jarrett ' s boots , heavy and alert , made him pause , and then he was conscious'of . a . g ^ ntle sound close by him : he turned . It waa Smith , bewildered , amazed , evidently shocked . Duttonwasrai bi&ow » -. d » sJE again in a second , writing .
Jarrett himself- looked' ira , and stared at Smith ' s strange and altered aspect . In the con-fusion , Xtoerttos * ibrgot to keep the pocket-book in his hand , and to avow tnat-hewas scrutinising the neglected treasure : he must now , he felt , sink , or be bold . Looking , up from his writing , he smiled , pointed with hia pen to the book ,, and , then to S * uith , and said , " Tour favourite , Jarrett , seems fond , of toying r with . your , pocket-book ; but I think my eye has saved it . " Smith had iwtyeaUy g £ vea rein to all his suspicion , nor to all his dislike of the maiv . Even , ujow a , hwr , or at the fate the wretch was dragging upon himself , was . the sfero »* gsv roaw ' s'first thought ; his next was of poor Amy .
Jarrett : remained immovable afc the door , only that he had ilung ifc wide open ; , and now stood' bolt upright , in the opening . Smith deliberately walked up close to Button , and said in a tone so low that the accusersalone . cou . ld , hear ifc , * You have forgotten the note in your oivn pocket .. " So ho had 1 u wa 3 . a . *» istak <» i ' . ' cried * Dutton to Jarrett , with his thin silkiest voice , srailingand ; bowingt'Ov « m'hi » desks "it was a mistake—Mr . Smith has convinced me . it was : ji : nsdstakfl- —it was a mistake . " Jarrott moved firoiw- tfee . door , and sto-od by his own desk , and looked intently at both men . B was quite clear to both , that he perfectly understood thereat situation .
Dutton triod to write , but his hand shook so that the poix rattled on tho paper . He , hatad' hiioaelf , as he never had done before , for hia want o £ u . ( jbvo + hatod ; . tito .
