some other quarter thus spoke mr norman doveor to his fellowclubman mr guy hamilton in the pleasant parlors at bradley hall deforest bradley tho new york million aire hiul invited a party of friends to spend the summer evening with him at his charm ing conntry seat he was a delightful host and known to be select in his tastes and associations his invitations there fore were eagerly accepted by the favored and by none with more eagerness than young norman deveer norman deveer was the degenerate son of an esteemed friend of mr bradleys receiving a large estate from his father he had got rid of the far greater part of it in various forms of extravagance aud uowhis only hope for financial recuperation was by a wealthy marriage the circle of society in which ho moved that is the respectable circle was as yet ignorant of his embar rassment and of the habits of life which had led to it therefore mr deveer still commanded the respect and goodwill of such men as deforest bradley and he longed for an opportunity to witi his way into the affections of mr bradleys lovely daughter patience patience was not a city girl her ways like her name had the flavor of irural new fngland her father made a widower while she was yet a babe unci when he was still engaged in the work of building his vast fortune left the care and education of latienco to a worthy sister of hip departed wife and the results fully justified his i course patience grew to be beaut fnl young woman pure in mind as she was charming in pcrsqn nnd with that refined selfcom mand and diyiiity which combined with modesty is the unerring mark of true american womanhood i sir bradley had summoned patience to aid him in entertaining tbe guests and mr deveer was among the first to put himself in tbe way of an introduction to the beau tiful hostess and heiress the magnet of whose reputed charms financial and per sonal had drawn him that evening from his accustomed haunts in new york among tho other gnests was a mr edgar weldon the master mechanic of a lending railway in which mr bradley possessed large interests he was a frank bright and energetic youug man a native of new york and hod won his way by merit and assiduity from a well served apprenticeship to the head of the mechanical department of a flourishing railway corporation ho wns- 0 fine epecimeii of manhood there was nothing of the weakling about him middlesized compact with clear complexion and regular features his well- knit frame and bright brown eyes and quick and vigilant expression at once marked him as a man of action a man to whom the important interests in his hand could well be intrusted with every presump tion of security mies patience showed a decided prefer ence for the company of mr weldon he had something to talk of besides the vapid nothingismg which too many men think to be the proper subjects of conversation with women and bis practical ideas interested her practical mind hence tbe spiteful remark of mr nor man deveer as he noticed- the beautiful heiress apparently engrossed in colloquy with mr bradleys mechanical friend but miss bradley was too- well trained to devote all her time to one of her guests however entertaining aud she soon found her way to the corner in which mr deveer was nur ling his suddenly conceived pre judice against mechanics in general and master lechauio weldon in particular now deveer wag far from being unat tractive j in person however worthless in mind i his father had bequeathed him a fine physique ab well as an ample fortune and dissipation had not ab yet effected any noticeable impress on his aristopratio fea tures indeed the blight tinge of delicacy fatler began life as a mechanicasa mej tianio ho accumulated hib fortune n3 tofl y althongfi wealthy

like your lather whoi e immense interests connect with him the e ttiployment of mochades t hy father mr deveer returned the maid bu in a firm yet gentle tone is no more of a man now that he is worth
