The Missing Neckl ace
[Original.]
A young girl aud her mother are re
turning from a ball. The girl Is but
eighteen, and she has appeared In so
ciety for the first time. She leans back
In her carriage, the gay scenes whirl
ing delightfully through her brain and
thinking especially of the first man
who has ever been attentive to her. A
warmth comes to her cheek on recall
ing the compliment he whispered In
her ear as they were sailing In a waltx.
Suddenly she puts her hand to her
throat and gasps:
"Oh, mamma!"
"For heaven's sake, Bessie, what la
It?"
"My necklace! It's gone!"
She had gone to the ball wjth a cir
clet of pearls of great vah# clasped
about her neck and returned without
them. In vain she sought to recall
where she might have dropped them.
Could any thief possibly have stolen up
behind her and unclasped them? All
efTorts to account for the loss were
failures. Detectives were put on the
case, but not the slightest clew did
they ever find. After months of hunt
ting, without success, the Jewels were
given up as lost.
???????
Twenty-five years have passed. Bes
sie Kingman, now a woman past mid
dle age, but unmarried, is sitting In
her boudoir after breakfast scanning
the morning paper. There is a whistle
without, a ring at the doorbell and the
postman leaves the mail. A maid
hands her mistress a small package
which, the wrapper being removed,
proves to be a pasteboard box. Lift
ing the lid from the box, Miss King
man meets the astonishment of her
life. There, nestling in a bed of pink
cotton. Is the necklace lost a quarter
of a century before.
[ Curiosity, one of the strongest of our
Instincts, prompts her first act. Tak
ing up the wrapper, she studies tlK>
handwriting of the address. She can
see no resemblance to any penmanship
she has ever seen before. One thing,
and one thing only, arrests her atten
tion. Frank Burrill, the young man
who had been devoted to her the night
of the ball at which she had lost her
necklace, had written her several notes,
which she had kept carefully locked in
her writing desk. He had a peculiar
way of making the letter F. This let
ter in the address resembled those in
her notes, but there was not enough
In this to serve as a clew.
???????
Another five years have passed.
Elizabeth Kingman is a woman with
more gray than black In her hair and
when she reads uses glasses. She still
has the letters of Frank Burrill locked
In her desk, and perhaps once a year
takes them out and reads them over.
He has been married for nearly thirty
years, and she has never seen him
since his marriage.
One morning on taking up a paper
and glancing at the death notices she
saw an announcement of the death of
his wife. It was a few months after,
this that she received a visit from her
first and only lover. He was just pass
ing the prime of life for a man. Miss
Kingman saw in him traces of that
. manly beauty? his engaging smile was
' all there ? which had so moved her
heart when it was young. Burrill came
often, and the two became fast friends.
Once Miss Kingman mentioned the loss
and return of her necklace. Mr. Bur
rill strove to maintain a serene counte
nance under her searching gaze, but
could not. Miss Kiugman assumed
that he had been tempted in those dan
gerous days of youth and had repented.
She forgave him without telling him
of her forgiveness.
In another year wedding bells rang
for the pair whose hearts had been
united years before. Each possessed
a secret that was kept well guarded
from the other. Except this they were
aa one. The wife-hid her knowledge, or,
rather, a belief of which she had no
doubt, that her husband had fallen be
fore temptation, had repented and
been forgiven. The husband guarded
his own secret which he of living be
ings alone knew. Their days were se
rene except for an occasional cloud
that passed momentarily over their
sun In this one matter of withheld
confidence.
Again the scene changes. An old 'wo
man of seventy, who has just buried
her husband. Is breaking up her home.
The desk that has long held his papers
must be gone over and all that is no
longer of use destroyed. The old wo
man spends a morning at this work.
One paper she reads before knowing of
its confidential nature. It is this:
My Dear Husband? I have lost your
love under this suspicion ever since you
discovered the necklace. 1 am 111 and
worn out with anxiety and remorse. Aft
er may years keeping this horrid secret,
I am at last resolved, now that my days
are numbered, to make a confession of a
sin committed In my youth. On the night
of the ball, when you were so attentive to
Miss Kingman as you took her to dance,
her necklace became unclasped and fell
at my feet. Mad with jealousy, I placed
the skirt of my dress over it and when
unobserved picked It up. My wish to re
turn It to her came too late. 1 dared not
admit that I had kept It so long. When
you return I wish you to take It and con
trive to send It to her without betraying
me. YOUR UNHAPPY WIFE.
Long the old woman sat with the
note in her band. Again she was back
In the gay scene of half a century be
fore. Thirty of these years instead Of
having been passed with the man of
her choice had been spent in loneli
ness. And who had stepped in be
tween them? A thief. A temptation
flashed before her to give the letter to
her friends. Then she remembered
that this secret was sacred to her dead
husband. She tossed it into the flaraea
on the hearth.
