But there was no alter- 'uative. To go on longer 1n the business was impossible. A meeting 0? ci‘editors was called, and a full statement of his afiairs submitted. The e'ziiise of his em barrassment ivas plain. one of his creditors who had not suifer ed by the l'ailure that ‘paralyz'ed him. - Some were for closing uh the dehior’ ’3 business forthwith; while others, seeing that he had a fair surplus if everything ivas settled, iiished to extend his tiiiie liberally, and thus giie him a chance to recover himself. iléautimeganfi wfijlc ah yct i‘IcEjindc'tcr- Blood, thc-nefié bf Mr. Pierson’s failure fipread .fro'x’n lip to ligcniil‘it {vac Enofin every'fihe‘i'e in the cit‘y. bf cofirée, the lover of Jeésie became aépi'i'ééd 6? the circumstance. The information received By Mr. V‘ Pierson in regard to Jessie’s intended 3‘ marriage was true. Garland had won a: the infatuated girl’s consent to leave her father’s house and become his wife “ father’s afi'airs could possibly be made, and Before the news of his failure had 1 'even reached his ears. The arrange.

Roomé »; had been taken at one of the principal i‘hotels, where the young 'cnuple were to lsojourn until the anger of J essie’s parents was appeased. ‘ . 'Jessie thought it rather 91363ng that ifor several evenings previous to the one on which the marriage was to take place, her lover had not 'called at the friend’s house where they usually met, two or! three times a week, nor h’ad‘he sent even 'y a perfumed missive to tell her that F. love’s flame still burned brightly. No doubt of his constancy came“, however, ,) like a shadow across her spirit; and she prepared herself to keep her engage- ment to the minute. . Mr. Pierso‘r'i had 'eome home gloomier 1 than usual. The day before he had hopes of making such an arrangement ii'ith his creditors as more enable him a to go 'On and finall-‘y i'e'eover himself ; but two or three parties were urgent for i an immediate settlement, and a realisa- tion of whatever his efi'ects would pay; and their influence upon other parties seemed likely to prevail. Amid his troubles, however, the unhappy man did not forget his ehil'd'. Her blindness and folly pained him, even more than the, wreck of all his worldly prospects. It‘ was his intentiou to intercept liis daugh- ter as she attempted to leave the house; and in order to be fully in time to 'do ‘so, he came home earlier than usual.â€" His first inquiry was for J essie ; and he learned that she had been in her room alone during the entire afternoon. 3539 1221133. - 0 ‘Are you certain than she has not. 3]. ready gone?’ he inquired, a. doubt. and- denly "crossing his mind. ‘Ob no; I should have heard her,’ replied the mother. ‘ ‘Suppose you go up to her room, and see if she is there',’ éuggeated Mr. Pier. sons Tile mother did 80'; but in a few mo- ments came down hurriedly, looking pale. and frightened: ‘She is not there i’ said Bheg‘huskily.

He told his love, said that he was from Scotland, that he was travelling incog. ., but ll) confidence gave her his real name, claiming that he was heir to alarge fortune.
