I have sold out my stock at a loss to gratify your malice. If you can do anything more to crush me, I hope you will do it."' " " I don't want to crush you. What are you talking about 1" ad- ded my uncle, impatiently. ' " I don't know what you mean by ciowdiiig me so hard, then." " Paley, you are living too fast. All I have done has been for your good.". -" I don't see it; and I don't ex actly know by what right you pur pose to take tho management of by affairs into your own Hands. You have an offer fpr ray house, and you bave attempted to drive mo out q'f it. Let me say! that I would go into bankruptcy,'or into the State Prison before I would submit to Hiich dictation.

I shall take the first oc casion to tell her how you have used me." .;_ j " Do you want to make trouble in the familyi" said he, evidently startled- by myj throat; for the bundling of tho I invalid's property was of some importance even to a gentleman of Captain Halliard's wealth. j' " I want justice done, though the heavens fall. Aunt Rachel never intended that I should be driven up to fay this thousand dollars, as vou b vo done the busi- ness." '" I did what] thought was best for you and for her." I remained at the bank until half past three o'clock, at which time I had agreed to meet Cormorin, at Young's. He was nearly half an hour lute, but he: came,.and 1 saw; by his countenance that everything had gone well with him. I should say, in the light of subsequent ex perience, that every thing' had gone ill with him, for. tbe successful con cealment of guilt, whatever conse quences might follow its exposure, is the greatest n isfortune that can befall a man, inasmuch .as it leads. him farther and deeper into crime. " Five Miousa id ; there are the identical' bills 3 ou lent me," said Cormorin, as he laid the money upon tiio table before me. " I'm all right now", and I hope I shnll not have occasion to repeat this folly." " You will make enough by your operation in Ballyhacka to afford you a stffioient capital for future operation?." " That's so. I shall be worth ten or fifteen thousand dollars next week, us sure as I live. I urn go ing to pay what 1 owe tjie bank, and then keep siuare 'with the world. You ha ve done me a good turn to-day Glauwood, and I am not one of the kind that forget such things." ' " Mere are your certificates. I; am glad to'have been able to serve you," I replied, as I handed him the papers. " You said something about another company in which a fellow might mike a good thing, dollars he had just returned to me, to be invested.in Bustumups. " It will be a safe operation, over our. accounts and catjn.thia afternoon." " All right," I answered, care Glasswood," continued Cormorin. lessly, " Bustumups are sure to go tip." | I /deposited the eight'thousand I did not regard this last expres-, sion as one to bo taken in th< metaphorical sense.' ' "You have looked" into this matter,. Cormorin, and of course you understand it. As things now. stand, you and I niUHt hang to gether." . . ".:..'.'.'"',. "Tuat' so; count on me for anything you want." .. " "That's.enough." .";:.,' He leftTae-to .procure'..the certi ficates of stock in the .Bust\imiip company. I was to wait In the private room I had taken .until-bin;. return.- I was alone, and .when I began to think Iwhaj. I. was doing,! was appalled at the possibility, of failure. I was in debt to tha bank in the sum of ejght thousand dol lars. If thy investment should go. wrong I could not hope to make good the loss. I should be obliged to flee from ray wife and my home, and end my days in exile, if 1 should bo so fortunate aa to escape without detection. A cold sweat etood on my forehead as I thought of the possibility of discovery, -of being arrested even .before I sup posed any one suspected, me,, and of being condemned to; the State Prison for ten years or more.. : My new friend brought me the coveted shares, and helped me finish the bottle of champagne before me. For Boine reason or other ho., de clined to punish a second one with me, and wje separated. I went Itotno with my shares in my pocket. When the fitmea of the champagne passed- off, I "was uneasy again. I felt that I stood upon the brink of a precipice. If Bustumups went down instead of going i up, I was ruined. There was no possible way for me to redeem myself. I could not sleep that night when I went to; bed. I got up and drank half a bottle of Smith's old sherry, which- etupefied my brain,' and gave me .the needed rest from the loadings of conscience and the terrots of the future. My fate de pended upon tha success of the fiustumup Company. If that went down, I might be called at any time to flee Troth my wife, and wan der in fear and trembling as an exile in soine strange land. . j At twelve .o'clock, when -1 ;nm out for a lunch, I found that Bus-', tumiips were, quoted at twenty-five. This fact assured me, for already I had practically paid off more than one-third of my debt. The stock went a little higher before two o' clock, and my courage was 'corres- pondinglj increased. I was rather disturbed, however, at the close of the bank, to see my uncle in close conversation with Mr. Briatlebach. I fancied that I was the subject of their - remarks, especially as the prosideut cast frequent glances at me. Captain ' Halliard looked As the conversation continued I became alarmed. The president almost invariably left tlie bank Boon after two o'clock. To-day he remained. As he had done once before since I occupied my position, in'- my drawer, balanced.my, cash, and put the trunk into v*he. safe.
