Last week he drew out the two thousand dol- lars fromrthe bank, and lent it to Mr. Bryce for ten days.” “Who is Mr. Bryce?” 7 “He is a' broker. My father gotac- quainted with him thrOugh George Chan- dler, who boards with us, and is Mr. Bryce’e clerk.” The poor girl blushed when she men. tioned the clerk’s name, and it did not “No, sir; but people take advantage of him.” “ What has happened '1” “He had the money to pay the mor- gage on the House in which we liveâ€"but it is all gone now. ” “the l” “ Vac 0011A.” “I hope his infirmity does not render him troublesome at home ?” “Perhaps not, Miss Wallace,” I repli- ed, trying to console her, and give the afi'air, whatever it was, a. brighter aspect. “You know my father, Mr. Dockett ?” “ I do very well.” “ You know his infirmity?” “I doâ€"I am sorry for; him. There is not a more honest or better disposed man in Boston than your father.” “ He is very kind and good to us all; butâ€"” One day his daughter Annie came to my ofiice in great distress, declaring her father was ruined, and that they should be turned out of the house in which they lived. The mortgage note was almost due at the time when the circumstances occured which made me acquainted with the af- fairs of the family. But Wallace was ready for the day; he had saved up the money and there seemed no possibility of an accident. I always bought my hats of Wallace, and am free to say they were the best hats the city afforded. Ihad also done some little collecting, and drawn up some legal documents for him. Lg}; a. sixi,L'”’§s\tmke Orin-fortune; 9 than once; have I seen a. man wk He was a. hatter by trade, and by his industry and thrift had acquired money enough to buy the house in which he lived. He had purchased it several years before for three thousand dollars, pay. ing one thousand down, and securing the balance by amortgage to the seller. Except that he indulged too freely in the use of the intoxicating cup, John Wallace was an honest, high minded and exemplary man. His one great fault hung like a. dark shadow over his many virtues. He meant well, and when he was sober he did well. The instance which I am about to re. late, though happily the designs of the robber were frustrated, is one of this character, where an unscrupulous person designed to send misery and min to the family of an humble mechanic. What seems to me the most remark- able phase of villainy is. that a man. him- self wenllhy, can find in in his heart to plunder the poor of the earnings of long and weary years. When the rich rob the rich, it, seems not half so wicked as when a. man of humble means is deprived of his substance. I have often seen the en- tire preper’uyuof individuals swept away gt a. simigs‘tmke ofill- fortune; and more than once have I seen a. man who thou ght he had a. comm tence, mined in a. single day by a villian.

I was not much in liquor at the time. I remember very well of going home as regularly as ever I did in my life. I could tell how I passed every moment of the time.” 5:): liked the man and I pitied him in his present distress. “ What do you think about it ?” asked he gloomily. “I don’t know what to think.” “I con fess I had been drinking when I went to his office at: the time he says he paid me. And with the help of God I will never let another drop pass my lips.” He spoke with earnestness, and when he uttered the name of God it, was I-ever. ently spoken, with his eyes raised to heaven. “A Wise resolution, but I fear it has come to late.” “She has told you about it, I suppose, said he in a very sad tone. “ She. has.” Ipiticd him, poor fellow, for the two thOus'de dollars was a large sum for him to accumulate in his little business. The loss of it would make the future look like a. desert to him. It would be a misfor- tune which one must undergo to appre- ciate it. Besides Wallace was an honest man, and a. person of fine feelings. Liquor only made him more free and more generOus; it only seemed to mien- sif'y the peculiarities of his nature. De Quincy says that men are not rlivrjnis-MZ by liquor; on the contrary most men are disguised by sobriety and it is when drink ing that men display themselves in their true complexion of character. Wallace when tipsy was never more truly himself â€"he was himself intensified; his good and evil traits were tenfold more vigorous than when he was sober. “ Have you seen the note since it was placed there ‘2” “ No.” “Has your father '2” ‘~' He says he has not.” “ Very remarkable.” “ It is, indeed. I know my father would not tell a, lie about it. But. he might have taken it out; when he did not know what he was about.” “I don't know; Georgeâ€"that. is George. Chandlerâ€"likes him very well, only he says he is very close.” I do not see how Bryce could have ob- tained the note unless he paid the money.” “ Nor I." “Where did your father keep it ‘2” “ He gave it to me, and I put; it in the secretary in the front room.” “ Did you give it to yPur father again ‘3'" “ No.” “ Who was in the room when you put it in the secretary ?” “ Mr. Bryce, George Chandler, my fath er and. myself.” The conversation was here interrupted by the entrance of Wallace. He looked pale and haggard, as much from the ef» fects of anxiety as of the. debauch from which he was just recoverina. ear of the devoted girl. “Mr. Bryce says my father was not just right when he paid him. though not very Very 13kely; but if he was in a. condi- tion to take it out at all, he could under- stand what he was about.” What kind of a. man is Bryce ?" require a great deal of penet-ratiOn for me to discover that he was her lover. “ Docs Mr. Bryce refuse to pay it ?” “He has paid it.” ‘ “ Well, what is the trouble tlion ?" “Father says he has not paid it." “Indeed, but the note will be evidence that he has not paid it. Of course you have the note?” “No; Mr. Bryce has it.” “ Then of- course he has paid it." “'I supp0se he has, or he could not have had the note.” “ W hat does your father 53)} 1’” “He is positive he never received the money. The mortgage must be paid to- max-row.” “Very singular. Was your fatherâ€"” I hesitated to use that unpleasant word I knew must have grated harshly on the “ I will see your father.” “He is coming here in a few minutes; I thought I would see you and tell you the facts before he came." on “I have.” “Nevertheless, if within one hour you do not pay me the twe thousand dollars, and one hundred dollars for the trouble and anxiety you have caused my client, I pledge you my word and honor that, at the end of the next hour, you shall be lodged in jail to answer to a. criminal charge 1” He turned pale, and his lips quivered. “What do you mean, sir?” “I mean what 1‘ say. Pay or take the consequences." -" When you lost your night key7 he found it. Where did you keep it, Mr. Chandler?” “In the pocket of my outside coat.” “Exactly so ! " I wrote 'a lawyer's letterâ€"“demand against you, c.”â€"whicb was immediate 1y sent to Bryce. Cautioning tho parties not to speak of the affair, I dismissed them, and awaited the result. Bryce came. “ What have you against me ? ” he ask- ed rather stifliy. The rascal quailedâ€"I saw that he was a. villain. “A claim on the part of John Wallace for two thousand dollars,” I replied, look- ing over my papers, and appearing su- premely indifferent. “Paid it,” said he, as short as pieocrust. “ Have you?” and I looked him in the eye as sharply as I could bring my optics to bear upon him.. “How else could Brycr‘ have obtained the. note, but. through him? What time does he come i: :1! night ‘3 "' “Always at 131457110. He. nm‘m- goes out in the. averting." answered Wallace. “Put. father, he did not come home till ton o'clock the night before, you Wont- to Bryce's. He had to stay at the ofiioo to post books, or something of that, kind." “ How did he get in? ” “ Ho has 21. night-key.” “I must see Chandler.” “I hope you don’t think he has any- thing to do with it ! ” “I cannot tell. I should like to soc: Wallace looked at Annie, and Annie looked at her lover. ~‘ Who was it '3 ” she asked. “It was Bryce?" I replied, “ you may depend upon it.” “ The villwin! exclaimed \\ allz.ce, at once taking it for granted. “He is mean enough to do such a thing.” added Chandler. “A, very iim1 young man. Bless you} he would n’t do anything of’ HM! kind." "1. ’m sure 110 Would 1ft!" repeat-d Annie, earnestly. I began to be deeply interested. “A watchwan happening along, I told him my situation. He knew me, and taking :L ladder from an unfinished house OppOsitc, he placed it against one of the second story windovvs, and I euLorcd in that way." .. He never paid me," repkd Vt .1l‘ac. firmly. "Thou hr- luls fmudulm‘tly n‘vtrxiuml the note. W:th mxt of a pa, son is this Chandler who boa'rds with you" . him. ” “He IS innocent, I am sure!" exclaim- ed Annie. “Good; now, who was it you hoard at ten o‘clock 17"“ “Had you the note with you?
