FRED D. BUSH,
D. P. A,, L. * N . It. 11.
BO Wall St., Atlanta, Ga.
was mainly my own fault 1 well know
— now! But. at the *.itn<\ I got myself
Into a hitter, don’t care state of mind.
I shunned home and friends; 1 isolated
myself, and proudly determined to hold
aloof to the end. Bit bv bit 1 went
down hill. My slender stock of money
disappeared, my wrrdrobe, bool<R, well-
high everything followed. 1 became
shabby!
Then eatne a serif- of horribly hard
times, dearth of food, lack of occupa
tion or aim. I think 1 was very near
the end when I received an offer of a
place In an auctioneer's ofllce. My soul
reheled, my heart sickened at the pros
pect of becoming a clerk; but it was of
no use lighting agalln !. destiny. I heat
down my pride and accepted.
Behold me then au assistant in the
ollice of Messrs. & Co., at a salary
of twenty-live shilliligs a week. My
duties were various mid progressive— |
correspondence and general ollice work
at first; inventories and sale clerking
ns I acquired more experience; and
lastly, tiie sole charge of one of the
many departments, my salary raising
to tiiirty shillings a week. It was at
this time, and while I was receiving
this munifleent "screw," that the
luckiest event of my life occurred.
I had a large amount of outdoor work
todo, and among others had one very
unpleasant task allotted me the levy
ing of distraints. That It was useful to
affording a means of gaining ex
perience of. uiul insight into, life, than
which none could have been better, I
do not deny. It hid me among all |
classes, from the highest to the lowest;
it taught me how much lies beneath
the surface, how the seemingly wealthy 1
arc often on the very verge of poverty; '
it read me many u hitler and heartfelt
lesson; but the occupation was always
utterly, miserably distasteful to me.
To plunge unawares upon a man,
whether poor or rich, to upset the
quivtude of the home und peace of the
family, to have to appear hard and
callous when my heart was nearly
bursting with sympathy, was bitter
ness itself. 1 felt the work beneath
me, and for him who feels that there Is
no hope.
“I want to see yoi| before you go,"
said one of the purtners to me as 1 was
arranging some papc.Tiou my desk pre
paratory to closing for the day. “You
will have to levy a distress on your way
home—you live In Million, don't you?"
"Yes. sir," 1 Raid, with a suppressed
curse at the prospective Job.
"Well, you cun manage It If you leave
here at live sharp—tin wj’ll be plenty of
time."
1 went to him at live and received In
structions. I was to levy for arrears of
rent upon a gentleman I will rail him 1
Mr. Lcvcson -who had a bachelor suite
in one of the numerous mansions in j
Victoria street, Westminster.
“I need scarcely caution you, Mr.
Williams” (the Lame I went under), ‘‘to
be very careful. This is a speciul job, j
the lirst we have received from u man
who is likely to he a very good client in
the future. Carry It through to the
best of your ability he firm, but do all j
you can to suit the convenience of Mr. >
Leveson. Take a decent man with you
— Johnson is about tlie murk, 1 should j
say.”
I hunted up Johnson. lie was, of ;
course, in the public house at the cor
ner; hut he was sober, and, I knew,
thoroughly trustworthy. I’nt him in
possession and nothing could remove
him; he would stick like death, and
this is more than can he said of all men
in his line of business.
Wo—that Is, Johnson and I—reached
the mansion In Victoria street wherein
resided Mr. Leveson. He occupied u
suite on the first floor.
"Remain here,” 1 said to Johnson. “If
you are inquired I will open the door
ami cull you.”
It is not the practice on good jobs to
take the man in when the demand is
made. There is a chance of being paid
out on the spot, and in that disc it is
better to depart with the uppeurance
of only having called for the rent—
leaving the fuct of the proposed levy
out of the question. It makes a better
impression and, too, it does not give a
hint to the tenant of what lie may ex
pect when next it is your unpleasant
duty to call in person.
I knocked at the outer door.
"Is Mr. Leveson in?” 1 inquired of the
man who opened, inserting my foot at
the same time, so that in the event of
any suspicions being aroused I should
he certain of gaining un entry.
No precaution was necessary, how
ever. J was admitted to Mr. Leveson
on presentation of the firm’s curd.
"I have a very unpleasant duty toper-
form,” I said, as he rose and bowed; “so,
perhaps, it is best to come to the point
at once.”
"Certainly,” he replied.
“There is now,” I said, referring to
my papers, “three-quarters of a year's
rent due—one hundred and fifty pounds
sterling. Are you prepared to pay that
sum on the spot?”
“Then I must levy a distress. There
is no other eourse open to me.”
Before he could say a word I went
out of the room, opened the front door
and called in my man.
“Here is your warrant,” I said to
him. “We must proceed at onee upon
the inventory.” Then, turning to the
astonished Mr. Leveson; “I deeply re
gret the duty that is imposed upon me,
hut I must obey the firm's orders.”
He did not answer for a long time.
We meanwhile proceeded with the in
ventor.y. lie'sat watehing us, appar
ently in deep thought.
“Look here.” he said, suddenly—so
suddenly that I nearly upset the ink-
tjtand at my elbow. "I sliull he able to
settle this infernal rent to morrow or
the next day at the latest. Will not
that satisfy you?"
“No,” I replied; “my orders are—rent
or levy. There is uo third course."
He relapsed again into silence.
We finished the Inventory. I gave a
few final instructions to Johnson in a
low tone, took up my hat and walked
toward the door.
“Surely you are not going to leave
that that (the words eatne out in an
effort)—that man here!"
“lie femains In possession," I re
plied.
“What, all night?”
“Ail night, and every night until an
arrangement is arrived at.”
He rose from his seat and walked up
and down the room in agitation.
“Do von know what lids means to
me?” lie asked, suddenly facing about,
“It means ruin—nothing more nor
less.”
“Very sorry”—
“You can have no feeling in the mat
ter," lie interrupted,bitterly. "It Is your
work. You are used to It. I have a
dinner party hero to-night—a semi-
social, semi-business affair, and the
presence of that man," he pointed to
the stubborn Johnson, who was calmly
filling Ids pipe, “whose mission no one
can mistake, will ruin my credit I
have 11 weighty affair on hand, which,
if it comes off, will bring me in four or
live thousand pounds steillng to-mor
row. To-night settles It one way or
the other. Your mail's presence can
bring alsiut hut one termination—
ruin!"
1 stood there, my hand nervously rest
ing upon the handle of the door. What
could I do?
"For God's sake,” be continued, "find
some means to leave me free tills one
night. 1 will enter any undertaking.
You sliall have double the amount
claimed to-morrotf. He must not re
main.”
“He must," I said, (Irmly. "I cannot
withdraw him.”
And 1 turned the handle of the door—
my foot was upon the threshold.
“Look here,” lie suid, ills face bright
ening with hope, "you are a presentable
sort of a fellow."
"Thanks."
“I beg your pardon." (He saw the
quick fiusli mount my forehead.) “I
did not mean to Insult you. Will you
remuin hero?"
The question was so unexpected that
I hardly knew wlmt to answer.
"What good would tuy remaining
here do?" I asked. "There ure many
possession men quite us respectably
dressed as 1 tun -at present Suspicion
would lie amused all the same were I
seen hanging about."
"You misunderstand ine. You would
attend the dinner us u guest.”
I looked down at my clothes.
"1 will lend you a dress suit We are
about the same cut. Will you stay? 1
shall lie eternally obliged "
I did not trouble to go further into
the matter.
"Give me your warrant, Johnson. I
will remain. Of course, you'll be paid
all the same, and you must resume pos
session to-morrow morning."
Mr. Leveson gave me u look of deep
gratitude.
"Your man sliull not suffer," ho said.
“Hero and keep your tongue quiet.”
Johnson flushed with pleasure.
“Mum's the word," he laughed. "Half
a thick 'un, eh?" Mr. Leveson had
given him lullf ft sovereign.
“Now,” said my host, us he closed the
door lifter Johnson, "iiwiiy witii nil dis
tinction. You tire my guest. I expect
the others in an hour or so. You had
better go and dress. My manwill give
you alt you require."
lie rung the Dell.
"Go with this gentleman, Parker.
Whatever he asks for let him have.”
I followed Parker into one of the bed
rooms.
"Well," I mused, us tile mull laid
the garments I required before
me, “this is one of the strangest
events of my very checkered career.
Who would ever have thought half an
hour ago that I should have again
donned full dress und associated, so fur
as externals go, 011 terms of equality
with recognized members of society—
I, the bill 1 iff, to remain the possession
man, and, in becoming the possession
man, to ape the guest? What a series
of improbable events in a few minutes.
I wonder what will be the end of it
all?”
I made my toilet at my leisure, en
joying the sensation of once more don
ning the garments of civilization.
"There is one comfort," I reflected,
as 1 made my way to the dining-room,
“there is no need on my part to force
good manners, and he upon my best be
havior. Thank Heaven, I sliull lie no
fisli out of water, whoever Lcveson's
friends may he.” From that moment 1
determined to cast aside all thoughts of
the past and to enter fully into the
spirit of the evening. I knew that the
more I did this the better I should
plcuso the host.
1 entered the room. Mr. Leveson was
talking with a young fellow of about
my age. I saw a kind of fear come
Into his eyes as I walked towards him.
"Evidently,” I said to myself, "he is
already alarmed as to how I shall con
duct myself. lie fears that the bailiff
may leak out through the dress trap
pings.”
“Sorry to have kept you waiting such
a devil of a time, Leveson, old hoy, hut
your place well. I have friends living (
within a stone’s throw the Courte
nays, of Courtenay park,” ho turned
upon liis heel and fled.
1 found means to have a word alone
with him before the other guests ar
rived.
“You’ll excuse me," he said; "but,
really I ni'awfully obliged, you know
—only don't go too far.”
"It's quite safe,” I laughed. “I know
all I say, and i’ll stick to facts."
Before he could reply Elmslle saun
tered up, and 1 had no other chance of
a private word. He seemed quite easy,
however, and I was heartily glad to see
it. I knew that 1 had plunged so far
that an awkward explanation would he
necessary lu the morning, but I felt
that 1 must have iny fling now. Lord
Elmslle and 1 got on marvelously well
together, and 1 smiled inwardly when
he gave me a standing invitation to call
at his club.
“You might have a run over my pre
serves," he added; "thut Is, 11 shooting
is in your line."
“Awfully obliged," I replied, "hut It
scarcely Is."
I studied Leveson's face when I said
this the same thought must have come
upon him as upon me; what a different
line mine was.
All the guests bail arrived save one.
It was past dinner time. Leveson he-
Utttue nervous uml restless. Evidently
the defaulting guest was the man he
relied upon to pull off hls marvelous
stroko of business.
At last, a vig knock at the front
door, steps advanced, the door of the
room was thrown open.
Lord Brayshorough," said the serv
ant.
I gave u great start; It wus my fa
ther.
He did not see me ut llrst—he was
engaged shaking hands with the guests
that were known to him. At last my
turn came.
My father advanced, and then puused
for uu Instant as lie eauglit sight of mo.
Astonishment was expressed on his
every feature, but and here the breed
ing stepped in—lie put out Ills bund and
said as though lie had seen me only u
couple of nights ago;
"Ah, Jack, glad to see you. Didn't
know you were acquainted with Levo-
son. lluppy to find you in such good
hands.
Leveson wus wonder struck, and the
climax of his umuzement was reached
when iny father turned to him and re
marked:
“You didn't toll me my son wus coin
ing. ”
Luckily before Leveson could find an
answer, the indefatigable Elmslle came
up and turned the conversation.
The evening passed very pleasantly
I shunned my fattier as much as possi
ble and never gave him a chance of u
word in private with ine. I could see
he was intensely puzzled, but know
thut the truth—now that lie hud ac
knowledged me as hls son—would widen
(lie breach that alrdAdy existed be
tween us.
“Are you going up my way, Jack?”
he asked as the party broke up.
"No,” 1 replied, nonchalantly, “I am
stopping with Leveson."
He opened Ids eyes more and more.
"Oh," he remarked, “all right. Neo
you in a duy or two, ( suppose."
"Possibly. Good night.”
He was gone and the rest followed.
Leveson and I were alone.
"For heaven's sake,” said Leveson,
“expluin all this mystery, or I sliull
fancy I am mud! Ilnw on earth can
you, the hall iff-you’ll pardon me,
won't you -be the son of Lord Bruys-
borough?"
I explained—my early wildness, my
reverses, everything; lie listening curo-
fully the while.
"Well," he said, when I had finished,
"take my advice, and make It up with
the governor."
“But how?" I asked. "When he
knows the truth—us he must—"
"He need never know, lie thinks you
are moving in good society pardon the
conceit this implies on iny part—let him
think so still.”
I shook my head hopelessly.
“To-morrow I must return to the old
life.”
“Not so.” He placed Ills hand upon
iny shoulder. "You have done mj a
service which I cun never forget. Let
me to some extent work off the obliga
tion. You want money. Here you can
have five hundred pounds sterling to
morrow, My business lias come to a
happy termination—I am rich! Let me
advance you this. Without your help
everything would have gone the oilier
way. You must not go back to the old
life. It is beneath you—you, the friend
of Lord Elmslie." We both laughed
“Accept my offer—rig yourself out
well, and go home to see your father.

He put out his hand und after u mo
ment's hesitation I took it.
“That’s good,” he said. “Don’t fear
for the result.”
I saw my futher. He was wise and
asked no questions. My friendship with
Mr. Leveson und Lord Elmslie was a
sufficient guarantee of ray respectabil
ity. I q uickly recovered iny lost position
In the world, and all thanks to my
i.ovk kniii iim;.
Nay, tell me not, my dearest,
I hat time has dimmed thine eye;
Mill, still my until t.liou cheerost,
Ah in days that are gone ny.
Say not thy cheek is faded.
By sorrows, cares and feats;
I lint thy hmw is somewhat shaded
By the ootids of otfci 1 y< are.
If time much mote had taken,
oiild forgive each theft,
Whilst thy 1 cart icmaim d unshaken,
And its love for me was left.
I, too, ant something older
Than when I met with thee;
But hearts become no colder,
It they are what hearts should lie.
Thy own has never altered.
As yen is have o’er me past:—
I'liV love lias nevut faltered,
When my brow has been n’eieast.
Then tell me not of changes
111 cheek, or brow, or hair;
The love sueli loss estranges
Must.be lighter far than air.
Through morning's early splendor
May rapture's thrill impinl.
The vesper hour more tender,
Sinks deeper in the heart.
Though spring he gay with roses,
And summer skies are rletir;
Yet autumn's I1111.il encloses
The rich harvest of the year.
E'en age’s wiutiy weather
Implies no thought of gloom,
In hearts that share together
Hopes of bliss beyond the tomb.

To the f’ounty School Commissioners
of Georgia;
ho many inquiries, asking for permis
sion to begin the schools for ISD-I Iho
first of November, resell this depart
ment, that I deem it my duty to issue
1 Ills circular for yi ur information and
guidance.
The s.-honl law s in inn old vocal terms
makes the school yea 1 ami the calendar
year co incident. Ibis provision has
been emphasized by the refusal of the
eneial assembly to change the date of
he commencement of the scholastic
ear to the first of Novemhor as was
proposed.
It would indeed he a “leap I11 the
dm k“ to commence the public term now,
when in. mail can tell what the funds for
I RIM Will he, what the length of the term
will he, what, new conditions may lie
imposed by the legislature soon to as
semble, 01 what changes in existing law
may he made. Some important itlteia-
lions and additions will he rccommcnd-
o I to the gcncial assembly, which we
trust will no et with their approbation
and become law ; and no school begun
before these facts are made known by
this department could possibly reap any
benefits from thest proposed iimcnd-
nietits.
As the officer charged with the ndmin-
istiatloii of the school law s, I cannot au
thorize any sc! ool to begin tiie public
term now, or consent to any arrangement
(or November amt December to.In count
