CHAPTER It
FOX AND WOLF.
• Mr. James, left to himself, attempted, la
accordance with his daily custom, to com
mit a dishonorable action.
That is to say, he first listened carefully to
the retreating footsteps of his master, as he
went up the stairs; then ho left his table,
crept stealthily into the back shop, and be
gan to pull the drawers, turn the handle of
the safe, and try the desk. Everything was
carefuTly locked. Then ho turned over all
the papers on the table, but found nothing
•bag contained tha information ho looked
for. It was Ms daily practice thus to try
the locks, in hope that >orao day the safe, or
the drawers, or tho desk, would bo left open
by accident, when ho might be able to solve
n certain problem, the doubt and difficulty
of which sera let and hindered him—namely,
of what extent, fond where placed, were
those great treasures, savings and invest
ments which enabled his inaator to be care
less over his business. It was, further, cus
tomary with him to be thus frustrated and
Hsappointed. Having briefly, therefore,
&lso in accordance with his usual custom,
%xpressed his disgust at this want of confl-
lence between master and man, Mr. James
-•turned to his paste and scissors.
About a quarter past six the shop door
aas cautiously opened and a head appeared,
ahich looked round stealthily. Seeing no-
x>dy about except Mr. James, the head ncd-
led. and presently, followod by its body,
iteppod iuto the shop.
-Where's the Admiral, Foxy!*’ asked the
sailor.
“Guv*r»or> upstairs, Mr. Joseph, taking of
sis toa with Miss Iris,” replied Mr. James,
sot at all ofT.mded by the allusion to his
craftiness. Who should resemble the Fox
If not the second-hand bookseller? In no
trade, perhaps, can tha truly admirable
jualities of that animal — his patience,
)is subtlety anil cratt, his pertinacity,
sis sagacity — be illustrated more to ad-
routage. Mr. James folt a glow of vir-
■tuo—would that ho could grow daily and
hourly, and more and more towards the
perfect fox. Then, indeed, and not till then
would ho be able to live truly up to bis seo-
>nd-hand books.
"Having tea with Iris; well—-”
Tho speaker looked as if it required some
•ffort to receive this statement with resigna
tion.
"He always does at six o’clock. Why
ibouldn’t he?” asked Mr. James.
*am.vause, James, he spends tho time in
cockering up that gal whom he’s ruined and
spoiled—him and tho old Nigger betwoon
them—so that her mind is poisoned against
her lawful relatives, and nothing will con
tent her but coming into all tho old man’s
money, instead of going share and share
alike, os a cousin should, and especially a
•he cousin, while there’s a biscuit left in the
locker and a drop of rum in the cask.”
*'Ah!” said Mr. James with a touch of
sympathy, called forth, perhaps, by men
tion of tho rum, which is a favorite drink
with second-hand booksellers’ assistants.
"Nothing too good for her," the other went
on; 4 *the best of education, pianos to play
upon, and nobody good enough for her to
know. Not on visiting terms, if you please,
with her neighbors; waiting for duchesses
to call upon her. And what is she, after
all? A miserable teacher!”
Mr. Joseph Gallop was a^oung man some
where between twenty and thirty, tall, large
limbed, well set-up, and broad shouldered.
A young man who, at first would seem
eminently fitted to push his own fortunes.
Also, at first sight, a remarkably handsome
fellow, with straight, dear cut features and
light, curly hair. When he swung along the
street, his round hat carelessly thrown back,
aud his handsome face lit up by the sun, tha
old women murmured a blessing upon his
comely head—as thoy used to do, a long time
ago, upon the comely and curly head of
Absalom—and the young women looked
meaningly at one another—as was also done
in the case of Absalom—and the object of
their admiration knew that they were say
ing to each other, in the feminine way, where
a look is ns good as a whisper, ‘‘There goes
a handsome fellow.” Those who knew him
better, and had looked more closely into
his face, said that his mouth was bad and
his eye* shifty. The same opinion was held
by the wiser sort as regards his character.
For, on the one hand, some averred that to
their certain knowledge Joe Gallop had
shown himself a monster of ingratitude to
wards his grandfather, who had paid his
debts and done all kinds of things for him;
on tha other hand there were some who
thought he had been badly treated; and
some said that no good would ever come of
a young fellow who was never able to re
main in the same situation more than a
month or so; and others said that he had
certainly been unfortunate, but that he was
a quick and clever young man, who would
some day find the kind of work that suited
aim, aud then ha would show everybody of
what stuff he was composed. As for us, wo
have only to judge of him by his actions.
"Perhaps, Mr. Joseph,” said Mr. James,
’•perhaps Mias Iris won*t have all bequeathed
to her."
“Do you know anything?” Joe asked
quickly. “Has he mode a new will lately!”
“Not that I know of. But Mr. Chalker
has been here off and on a good bit now.”
“Ah I Chalker 1 * a close one, too. Else he’d
tell me, his old friend. Look here, Foxy,”
he turned a beaming and smiling face upon
the assistant. “If you should s6e anything
or find anything out, tall me, mind And,
remember, I’ll make it worth your whila”
Mr. James looked os if he was asking him-
self how Joseph could mako it worth his
while, seeing that he got notning more from
\ -

the Victorian age. be bad not gone to the
Far TTest, where he would, at least, have
had the chanoe of getting rhot in a gam
bling saloon.
“As for me, when I get the business,” he
Continued, “1 shall look about for seme one
to carry it on until I am able to sell it for
what it will fetch. Books at a penny apiece
all round, I suppose*Wames gasped-y“shop
furniture thrown in”—James panted—“and
the goodwill for a small, lump sum.” James
wonderod how far his own savings, and
what he could borrow, might go towards
that lump sum, and bow much| might ••re
main.” “My grandfather, as you know, of
course, is soon going to retire from business
altogether.” This was another lie abso
lute, as Mr. Emblem had no intention what
ever of retiring.
“Soon, Mr. Joseph) He has never said a
word to me about it.”
“Very soon, now—sooner than you expect.
At seventy-five, and with all his money, why
should he go on slaving any longer? Very
soon, indeed. Any day.”
“Mr. Joseph,” the assistant positively
trembled with eagerness and apprehension.
“What is it, James? Did you really think
that a man liko me was going to sit in a back
shop among these mouldy volumes rill day?
Come, that’s too good. You might have
given mo credit for being one cut above a
counter, too. I am a gentleman. James, if
you please; 1 am au officer and & gentle
man.”
Ho then proceeded to explain, in language
that smacked something of tho sea, that his
ideas soared far above trade, which was, at
best, a contemptible occupation, and quite
unworthy of a goutleman, particularly of
an officer and a gentleman; and that his
personal friends would never condescend
even to formal acquaintance, not to speak
©f friendship, with trade. This discourse
may bo omitted. When one reads about such
a man as Joe Gallop, when we are told how
he looked and what he said and how he said
it, with what gestures and in what tone, we
feel as if it would be impossible for the sim
plest person in I he world to be mistaken as to
his real character. My friends, especially
my young friends, so far from the discern
ment of character being easy, it is, on the
contrary, an art most difficult, and very
rarely attained. Nature’s indications are a
kind of handwriting, the characters in
which are known to few, so that, for in
stance, the quick, inquiring glance of an
eye, in which one may easily read—who
knows the character—treachery, lying and
deception, just as in the letter Beth was
originally easily discerned the effigies of a
bouse, may very cosily pass unread by the
multitude. The language, or rather the
alphabet, is much loss complicated than the
cuneiform of tho Modes and Persians, yet no
one studies it, exoept women, most of whom
ore profoundly skilled in this lore, which
makes them so fearfully and wonderfully
wise. Thus it is easy for man to de
ceive his brother man, but not his
sister woman. Again, most of us are
glad to take everybody on his own state
ments; there are. or.may be, we are all
ready to acknowledge, with sorrow for err
ing humanity, somewhere else in the world,
such things as protending, swindling, acting
a part and cheating, but they do not and
cannot belong to our own world. Mr.
James, the assistant, very well know that
Mr. Emblem’s grandson had already, though
still young, as bad a record as could bo de
sired by any; that he had been turned out
cf one situation after another; that his
grandfathor had long since refus*-d to help
him any more; that he was always to be
found in the broad path which loadeth to
destruction. When he had money he ran
down that path as fast ns his legs could carry
him; when he had none, he only walked and
wished he could run. But he never left it,
and never wished to leave it. Knowing all
this, tho man accepted and believed every
word of Joe’s story. James believod it, be
cause he hoped it. He listened respectfully
to Joe’s declamation on the meanness of
trade, and then he rubbed his hands, and
said humbly that he ventured to hope, when
the sale of the business came ou, Mr. Joseph
would let him have a chance.
“Your’ asked Joe. ‘I never thought of
you. But why not? Why not, I say? Why
not you as well as anybody else!”
“Nobody but me, Mr. Joseph, knows what
the business is, and how it might be improved,
nd I could make arrangements for paying
by regular instalments.”
“Well, we’ll talk about it when the time
comes. I won’t forget. Sailors, you know,
can’t be expected to understand the value ol
shops. Bay, James, what does the Commo
dore do all day?”
“Sits in there aud adds up his invest
ments.”
“Always doing thatr—eh? Always adding
’em up? Ah! and you’ve never got a edanoe
of looking over his shoulder, I supposeP
“Never.”
“You may find that chtuce, one of thesa
days. I should like to know, if only for curi
osity, what they are a id where they are.
He sits in there and adds ’em up. Yes—I’ve
seen him at it. There must be thousands by
this time.”
“Thousands,” said ihe assistant, in the be
lief that the more you add up a sum the
larger it grown
Joo walked into the back shop and tried
the safe.
“Whers are the keys?” he asked.
“Always in hit pocket or on the table before

“Or you’d ha’ known pretty sharp all
there is to know—eh, my lad? Well, you’re

Do you thjjnk now, seriously, do you think,
James, that the old man is quite right—eht
Don’t answer in a hurry. Do you think,
now, that he is quite right in his chump?”
James laughed.
“He’s right enough, though he throws
away his chances.” '
“Throws away his chances. How tb«

ever hear of a bookseller in his right mind

“Very well, then;for that matter, don’t

his chancas—all his chances, you said. Yot
are ready to swear to that. Most import
ant evidence, that, James.” James had not
said “all,” but he grunted, and the othei
man went on; “It mey come in useful,

panted.
“Ob, I didn’t know. You are to have it,

If Mr. James had been ten years younger

at the age of forty weeping no longer pre

usual to seek consolation in a swear. He
stammered, however, while be turnod pale,

"Hush, Mr. Joseph! Oh, pray—pray

You never hear him coming.”
•'Just for & trifle of a key you ore going

Jamos, I’ll be off.”
“Oh, I say, Mr. Joseph, writ a momcntl”
James was beginning to reali.ee what he had
promise.!. “If anything dreadful should
come oi this? I don’t know what is in the
safe. There may be money as well os pa
pers.”
“James, do you think I would steal? Do
you mean to insinuate that I am a thief,
sir? Do you dare to suspect that I would
take money?”
James certainly looked as if be had
thought even that possible.
“1 shall open the safe, take out the pa
pers, read them, and put them back just as
I found them. Will that do for youf’
He ihook hands again, and took himself
off.
At 7 o’clock Mr. Emblem came down
stairs again.
“Has any one been!” ho asked as usual.
“Only Mr. Joseph.”
“Wbat might Mr. Josoph wantP
“Nothing at all.”
“Then,” said his grandfather, “Mr.
Josoph might just as well have kept away."
Let us anticipate a little. James spent
the next day hovering about in the hope
that an opportunity would offer of getting
the key in his possession for a few momenta.
There was no opportunity. The bunch of
keys lay on the table under the old man’s
eyes all day, and when he left the table ha
carried them with him. But the day after
wards he got his chance. One of the old cus
tomers called to talk over post bargains and
former prizes. Mr. Emblem came out of
the back shop with his visitor, and continued
talking with him as far as the door. As he
{Missed the table’—James’s table—he rested
the hand which carried the k**ys on it, and
left them there. James pounced upon them
and slipped them into his pocket noiselessly.
Mr. Emblem returned to his own chair and
thought nothing of the keys for an hour and
a half by the clock, and during this period
James was out ou business. When Mr. Em
blem remembered his keys he felt for them
in their usual place and missed them, and
then began searching about and cried out to
James that he had lost his bunch of keys.
“Why, sir,” said James, bringing them to
him, after a little search, and with a very
red face, “here they are; you must have left
them on my table.”
And in this way the job was done.
CHAPTER IIL
IRIS THE HERALD.
By a some what remarkable coincidence it
was on this very eveiiin; that Iris first made
the acquaintance of her pupil, Mr. Arnold
Arbuthnot. These coincidences, I believe,
happen of tenor in real life than they do on
the stage, where people are always turning
up at the very nick of time and the critical
moment
I need little persuasion to mate mo believe
that the first meeting cf Arnold Arbuthnot
and Iris, on the vei evening when her
cousin was opening m tters with the Foxy
one, was nothing short of providential.
You shall see, presently, what things might
have happened if they had not met. «Thi
meeting was, in fact, the second of the three
really important events in the life of a girt.
The first, which is seldom remembered with
the gratitude which it deserves, is her birth;
the second, the first meeting with her future
lover; the third, her wedding day; tho othor
events of a woman’s life are interesting,
perhaps, but not important.
Certain circumstances, which will be im
mediately explained, connected with this
meeting, made it an event of very consider
able interest to Iris, even though she did not
suspect its immense importance. So much
interest that she thought of nothing else for
a week beforehand; that as the appointed
hour drew near she trembled and grew pale
that when her grandfather came np for his
tea, she, who was usuallv m> quick to discern
the least sign of care or anxiety in his face,
actually did not observe the trouble, plainly
written in his drooping head and anxious
eyes, which was due to his interview with
Mr. David Chalker.
She poured out the tea, therefore, without
one word of sympathy. This would have
seemed hard if her grandfather bad expected
any. He did not, however, because be * did
not know that the trouble showed in his
face, and was trying to look* as if nothing
had happ ued. Yet in his brain were ring
ing and resounding the words, “’Within
three wee>e—within three weeks,” with the
regularitj of a horrid clock at midnight
when one wants to go to sleep.
“Oh,” cried Iris, forced, as young people
always are, to speak of her own troutde;
“oh, grandfather, he is coming to-night. 1
“Who is coming to-night, my dear?” and
then ho listened again for the ticking of
that clock: “Within three weeks—within
three weeks.” “Who is coming to-night,
my dear?”
He took the cup of tea from her, and sat
down with an old man’s deliberation,
which springs less from wisdom and
fullness of thought than from respect to
rheumatism.
The iteration of that refrain, ,4 Within
three weeks,” made him forget everything,
even tho trouble of his granddaughter's
mind.
“Oh, grandfather, you cannot have for
gotten !”»•■•
She spoke with the least possible touch of
irritation, because she had been thinking of
this thing for a week past, day and night,
and it was a thing of such, stupendous inter
est to her that it seemed impossible that any
one who knew of it could forget what was
coming.
“No, no.” The old man was stimulated
into immediate recollection by tho disap
pointment in her eyes. “No, no, my deary,
1 have not forgotten. Your pupil is com
ing. Mr. Arbuthnot is coming. But, Iris,
child, don’t let that worry you. 1 will
him for you, if you like.”
“No; I must see him myself. You see,
dear, there is the awful deception. Oh, how
shall I tell him!”
“No deception at all," he said stoutly.
“You advertised in your own initials. He
never asked if tho initials belonged to a man
or to a woman. The other pupils do not
know. Why should this one? What does
it matter to him if you have done the work
for which he engaged your services?*
•But, oh, he is so different! And the
others, you know, keep to the subject.**
“So should he, then. Why didn’t her
“But he hasn’t. And lhave been answer
ing him, and ho must think that
drawing him on to tell me more about him
self; and now, oh, what will he think?
drew him on and on—yet I didn’t mean tc
till at last he writes to say that he regards
me as the best friend and the wisest adviser
he has ever had. What will he think and
say? Grandfather, it is dreadful!”
“What did you tell him for, Iris, my dear?
Why couldn’t you let things go on? /
by telling him you will lose your pupil.”
“Yes, of course; and, worse still, 1 shall
lose bis letters. We live so quietly hero that
his letters have come to ms like news of
another world. How many different worlds
are there all round one in Loudon? It has
been pleasant to read of that one in which
ladies go about beautifully dressed always,
and where the people have nothing to do
bat to amuse themselves. He has told xna
about this world in which ha live* and
about his own life, so that I know every
thing he does and where ha goes; and”*
here she gig bed heavily—“of course it could
not go on forever; and I should not mind so
much if it had not been carried on under
false pretenoea” '
“No false pretences at all, my dear. Don't
think it.”
•*1 sent back bis last cheque," she said,
trying to find a little consolation for herself.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Woman Kills,I
Bare Her Own Life.
New York, March 4—The re
lations between Mr. and Mrs. Wil
li* F. Fox, who live at
No. 150 South First street,
Williamsburg, for a long- time past
have been of the most disturbing
character. Early on Friday even*
iog Foil became enraged at his wife*
who is said to be a very respecta
ble woman, sober and quiet, be
cause she wobld not give him a
ten cents to buy a drink.
Finally, after quarreling with his
wife and begging her for the tnon-
ey, Fox said: “You might as well
say your prayers, for I am going to
kill you to-night. I’m going out to
get drunk, so as to give me the
courage to do it,” and then ran out
of the house.
Fox was then drunk, but when
he came back shortly after midnight
he was perfectly crazed from drink.
Mrs. Fox was lying down with her
clothes on, and at her husband’s re
quest got up and prepared him a
cup of coflee. Fox then repeated
his injunction for her to say her
prayers, rnd seizing her by the
throat attempted to throw her
down. The woman broke away from
him, when the brute picked up a
heavy dish containing steaming oat
meal, and threw it at her. The
missile, with its contents, struck an
infant lying asleep in its cradle, and
the oatmeal badly scalded it about
the face and body. Mrs. Fox then
ran into an ■ adjoining room, and
when her husband followed her she
picked up what she supposed to be
a shovel, but which proved to be a
short-handled axe, to defend her
self. Fox sprang at her, but as she
jumped out of his way, he fell pros
trate on the floor. Mrs. Fox shoved
him out of the room, but Fox smash
ed in the locked door, and advanc
ing toward the desperate woman,
again attempted to throw her down.
This time the woman used her
weapon and dealt her husband a
heavy blow with it over his head.
Fox convulsively sprang forward,
and as he caught his wife’s dre.s
she struck him five times with the
axe. He sank to the floor covered
with blood and Mrs. Fox Tan out
screaming for help.
A physician found that the brutal
husband was fatally wounded. He
was removed to St. Catherine hos
pital,and his wife was arrested. She
was arraigned before Justice Nae-
her, who committed her to await the
result of Fox’s injuries.

John Scott, Colored, of Aiken, Steals Ten
Cents From a Little .Negro Boy, and Then
Kill. HLs Brother.
Aiken, March 4.—On Main street
about 10 o’clock last night, two
young colored men engaged in a
fight upon the oavement, and in a
few moments the flash of a pistol
shot illuminated the darkness, and
Jim Parinento received a wound in
his left side, which in half an hour
caused his death by an internal hem
orrhage. John Scott, who did the
shooting, ran through the nearest
store and threw his pistol under a
platform in rear of the store, and
then ran with Inste to the jail, told
the jailer what he had done and ask
ed to be taken in charge. The jailer
told him he could not put him in
jail unless under orders, and advised
him toago up town and deliver him
self to one of the town marshals.
This he did as rapidly as bis feet
could carry him, crying out at eve
ry step he took for the police. Af
ter he was taken in charge by Mar
shal Gribben, he showed him where
he had thrown the pistol, which
was recovered. John Scott now
lies in jail awaiting the verdict of
the coroner’s jury.
James Parinento, the deceased,
during the evening, had given to
his little brother ten cents. A short
time afterwards this boy came to
the deceased and said that John
Scott had taken it from him. This
led to a meeting between Scott and
Parmento. They quarreled and
then fought, .Scott throwing Par
inento to the ground. As Parmento
fell, a’ pistol, which he had in his
vest, fell to the ground, and Scott
picked it up and fired at Parmento,
who was only a few feet distant,
with the result above stated.
To-day a post-mortem examina
tion was held by Drs. Wyman and
Edwards over the remains of the
deceased, and the coroner’s jury,
which had been empaneled, post
poned the final meeting and verdict
until to-morrow at 10 o’clock in the
morning, as they wished for more
testimonv in the case.
It is stated that the Texas Sift
ings, the Police Gazette and the
Christian at Work are all printed
on the same press in New York
city. It is an instance in which
wheat and tares grow together.
It is feared around Quincy, Flor

They Who Life in Glass Houses Should Hind
How They Cast Stones,
It is amusing to see how tender-
footed certain Dlood remedy proprietors
have become of late. They make much
ado about “apes and imitators” when
noue are in sight.
The proprietors of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should we
attempt to imitate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus oper-
andl of that which they o&er. Our own
iong experience in the profession pre
cludes such an idea. The field for blood
remedies is large and broad’ affording
ample room for all present aspirants.
We do not desire to.' close the door
againts other neither shall It be closed
against us. ■ B. B. B. is the dniekest
remedy, does net centaln mineral or
vegetable poison, does not Imitate, and
is in the fieldas an honorable competitor
for pnplic favor, and its success js with
