lions of men, from the depraved pick
pocket to the cultured millionaire; all
varieties of the daughters of Eve, from
the poor vulgar trull to the refilled and
lovely queen of society. Here meet
youth and age, virtue and vice, industry
and idleness, wise and foolish, good and
evil. Strange events are there brought
to light; life histories, fantastic, tragio,
comic, pathetic, romantic, crimes start
ling or sordid; human passions are there
unfolded of every species—love, hate, re
venge, avarice, Belf abnegation, ambition
and despair, which is the death of all
passion,.good or bad. And what a gal
leiy of faces follow one another, in end
less succession, across the threshold—
beautiful, hideous, sorrowful, joyful, con
tented, wretched, cultivated, degraded,
spiritual, bestial. And all who come have
some story to tell, some accusation to
faring, some defense to oppose, some end
to gain. Having said their say they dis
perse again—some to liberty, some to
trial; some to death, some to victory;
some to prisons, some to palaces. All the
contrasts of human existence, all its
lights and shadows, appear in the inspec
tor’s room, and disappear again, while
you look on in your cap of invisibility.
And there, at his desk, sits the in
spector, examining, weighing, deciding,
investigating, advising, reproving, en
couraging; cheerful or grave, as the case
may be, even tempered, firm, suave,
Stern, penetrating, impenetrable; the de
pository of all secrets, the revealer of
none; the man who is never hurried, yet
pever behindhand; never idle, yet never
weary; always patient, and always
prompt. No position under the munici
pal government requires more tact than
his, more energy, more courage, more
experience. He must be pliant, yet im
movable; subtle, yet straightforward;
keen, yet blunt. He must know all the
frailties of human nature, and yet be not
too cynical to comprehend its goodness;
he must bo an advocate, and at the same
time a judge. In short, he must be a
chief of New York detectives; and, what
ever else his office may be, it is certainly
no sinecure.
Of the countless dramas and episodes
that come to his knowledge, many can
not be told again; and many, if told,
would not be credited, so different from
the strangeness of fiction is the strange
ness of real life. On the other hand, not
a few of these tales can be repeated with
out indiscretion, and, in all substantial
respects, precisely as they actually came
to pass. Such narratives have one ad
vantage over the conceptions of the im
agination, that they are a record of facts,
not fancies, and carry the authority and
impressiveness of fact. But they also
labor under a disadvantage which, per
haps, more than balances the gain of
reality; for facts are stubborn, and ac
commodate themselves but awkwardly
to the rules of artistic construction and
symmetry. Like rocks in a New Eng
land farm, they aro continually cropping
up where they are least wanted. And
yet it will sometimes happen tliat nature
$6 nearly accommodates herself to art
that the story assumes a tolerable grace
and proportion; and such a one is con
tained in the pages that follow. But,
llthough the sequence and character of
the events has been adhered to, the names
of the persons are changed; for the affair
took place but a short while since, and
nearly all the actors in it are still alive,
and several of them moving in the best
sbeiety in New York.
^ • ***•#
Mr. Bartemus Nolen was a representa
tive of a good New York family, and
Was possessed of comfortable means; bv
jfrofe8sion he was a lawyer. He was a
member of the Episcopalian church, and
he married, at the outset of his career, a
lady of the same persuasion, a woman
of excellent education and gentle and
benevolent disposition. The first twenty
years of their married life passed hap-
K ly and prosperously; two sons were
rn to them, and a few years later a
daughter, Pauline. Mr. Nolen achieved
honor and eminence in his profession;
the boys did well in school and after
ward at college, and the daughter gave
K mise of singular intelligence and
uty—a promise which was afterward
fulfilled.
L But at length the current of luck took
a turn, and began to set against the
honest lawyer. He was affected with a
cataract in ono of his eyes, which had
not proceeded far when the other also
showed signs of being affected; this mis
fortune was a serious' drawback to his
practice, and finally compelled him to
abandon it almost entirely. Of course,
practice meant money, and the cessation
from it diminution of income. There
was still enough left, however, to live
upon with comfort, if not luxuriously;
but unfortunately Mr. Nolen, being de
prived of his customary mental employ
ment, took to thinking of other things;
and one of the subjects of his meditation
was the feasibility of getting larger re
turns f rom 11 is in vested property. Among
his acquaintance were many men whose
trade was finance, and Kartemus got in
the habit of counseling with them upon
financial matters. No doubt they gave
him the best advice at their disposal; but
when one begins to buy stocks, advice is
of little use; and Mr. Nolen, after several
ups and downs, came down with some
what of a thump, to the extent of about
a third part of his total possessions. At
this juncture .he.proved his exceptional
good sense and seir control; for lie never
risked another dollar in speculation.
Neither did he reveal the fact of iiis losses,
which waa at least prudent. But these
virtues could not save him from being
and feeling a good deal poorer than he
was before. He owned the house he
lived in; and continued to live in it; but
he curtailed his expenses, and by strict
economy contrived to render them less
than his income. His sons would soon
be through college, and would then, it
was to be supposed, take care of them
selves. It was for his daughter that he
was saWng, and he hoped to leave her at
least a decent fortune after liis death.
But other misfortunes were in store
for him. His oldest son, Jerrold Nolen,
had graduated from college, and came
to New York to study medicine, living,
meanwhile, at lib father’s houses He
was a young fellow of ability and agree**
able manners, and was popular among
bb fellows. His father was proud of
him, and treated him with partiality. It
scon became apparent that Jerrold was
rather Inclined to dissipation; his sociable
nature had its detrimental side. Thb
was the more unfortunate, inasmuch
as he had a tendency to heart
disease, and was of an excitable
temperament As tlus matter will
be dwelt on hereafter, It b enough
to say here tliat Jerrold died under tragic
circumstances in the second year of hb
medical studies. Hb death, besides
bringing bitter grief to his father and
mother, led to legal proceedings against
a person supposed to have been instru
mental in compassing hb destruction—
proceedings which led to no good re
sults, and involved a largo expense. Mr.
Nolen never recovered from the shock
and disappointment of hb eldest son's
sudden end; and in little more than a
year afterwards the morning papers con
tained respectful but brief notices of hb
decease.
Hb will was admitted to probate; it
devised twenty thousand dollars to hb
son Percy Nolen when the latter should
come of age; the remainder was settled
upon Mrs. Nolen, with certain provisos
in the event of Pauline’s marrying with
her mother’s approval. Percy's bequest
was intended to start him in business, he
having shown a tendency to take up
mining engineering as a pursuit. He
too was an intelligent boy, and left col
lege in good standing as to scholarship,
but his character resembled Jerrold’s in
its lack of firmness and persistent en
ergy; while, unlike Jerrold, he was of a
selfish disposition. After graduating
and coming into possession of his patri
mony, he announced hb intention of
postponing for a while hb professional
studies and seeing a little of metropoli
tan life. Thb made his mother anxious,
remembering the unhappy career of her
older 6on, but she interpreted Percy’s de
sign in the manner most favorable to
him, as simply a wish to become prac
tically familiar with tho ways and man
ners of good society.
Percy’s original purposes may, indeed,
have contemplated no more than that;
but that was far from being the limit of
what he actually did. Hb advances to
wards the best society were neither con
siderable nor prolonged. For a few
months ho went to dinners and recep
tions and danced at balls, but it soon be
came evident that he was getting inti
mate with a class of people who, by no
stretch of courtesy, could be counted
among the upper ten. These were chiefly
young inch who dressed well, had dash
and assurance of manner and were com
monly to be met with on fashionable
thoroughfares, in the corridors and bil
liard rooin3 of the best hoteb, on base
ball grounds and race tracks, and, to
wards the small hours of the night, at
certain restaurants and other places of
resort more remarkable for brilliance and
liveliness than for respectability, in
which the company ceased to be ex
clusively masculine and was yet not im
proved by the alteration. Percy had hb
choice, and thb was the class with which
he chose more and more to associate.
They were, as a class, not wealthy; nev
ertheless to lie with them was not neces
sarily to bo economical; neither did it
involve regular habits or early hours.
Before long Percy was convinced that
the sort of life ho was leading was not
compatible with making a home >inder
hb mother's roof; so he took bachelor
rooms on the west side of the city and
went tp bed and got up at what o’clock
it best pleased him. He did not keep
away from home altogether; ho would
drop in now and then, when nothing else
was going on, sometimes to lunch, some
times to dinner, sometimes to accompany
hb sister to the opera or theatre, but he
rad cut loose from hb mother’s apron
itrings and showed no present signs of
meaning to come back to them. He was
living a fast life, and not the best kind of
fast life either.
Ono of the executors of Mr. Bartemus
Nolen’s will was Judge Odin .Ketelle, a
gentleman who had at one period been a
partner of Nolen’s, and had always re
mained on intimate and friendly terms
with the family. He was a man of po
sition and influence, and was quietly and
steadily amassing a large fortune. Mrs.
Nolen, in her anxiety about Percy, nat
urally turned to this friend for counsel;
and probably she could not have done
better if she were to do anything. Tho
judge heard her timid and fond com
plaints, in which she tried to shield the
son whose misdeeds she was forced to
expose. When she had finished ho sat
with Ids hands folded on the table and
hb eyes under their thick eyebrows fixed
in thoughtful contemplation as he had
been wont to sit cn the bench when con
sidering some point of law advanced by
counsel
“If a boy wants to be a fool he mostly
succeeds in hb wish," he remarked after
a while. “Percy has a good deal of un
tamed Wood in hb composition, and he
will probably work it off ‘in hb own
fashion. His father gnve-hhn lib money
without conditions or restrictions, hop
ing that the sense of responsibility would
sober him; but it will need more than
that. He will spend it—that is, throw it
into the gutter—and then we may look
for the dawning of reason in him.”
“I am sure lie is a good boy,” said hb
mother. “He is only full of life and
thoughtless.”
“There b no reason to suppose him
actually vicious,” the judge replied,
“and, that being the case, we niay expect
that the want of money will bring him
to terms. 1 do not look to see hb father’s
son commit any act that will bring him
under the cognizance of the law; he is, I
take it, incapable of any dishonesty;
consequently, when he becomes bank-
rapt, he must do one of three things:
either he will sit down and starve like a
gentleman, or he will find some employ
ment that will give him a living, or he
will come back to you, like ins prodigal
prototype in Holy Writ."
“Percy starve! Oh, judge!" faltered
Mrs. Nolen.
“Do not be uneasy; Percy will not
starve,” returned he, with a slight flavor
of irony in hb tone. “He b not natu
rally disposed to asceticism, nor has he
tlie kind of pride that would prompt him
rather to die than betray signs of human
weakness. On the other hand he is
clever and quick, and could easily pick
up an honest livelihood in other ways
than by pursuing hb project of mining
should he find it necessary to forego
that. But my own anticipation is, my.
dear Mary, that lie b too lazy, and that
his habits of application, such as they
were, have become too much broken up
to make tliat course likely. YYtot I Jo
expect b that lie will come back to you
and ask you to provide for him.”
“Tliat b all 1 ask!” Mrs. Nolen ex
claimed.
“I have no doubt of it, my dear,” an
swered the judge with a smile. “But in
this connection there is something that
I wish to impress upon you very strongly.
Do not, as you value hb ultimate wel
fare, not to speak of your own, give him
any money without first consulting me.
If you fail toobserve thb precaution, de
pend upon it you will get into trouble.
I know what young men are, and how
they regard their mothers—as just so
much indulgent soft heartedness to be
taken advantage ofl No, it bn’t cynic
ism; it’s the truth; and so you will find
it. Now, what Percy needs is the con
viction that there b no choice for him
but to work. So long as ho thinks that
he can be supported without working he
will remain idle. It may be hard for
you to refuse him, but unless you do you
will only work him an ill turn. You are
not a rich woman by'any means. Bar
temus—it b as well you should know it
now—lost a large part of his fortune by
injudicious investments; and when you
take out of that the sum secured to Pau
line as her dower—a sum which, fortu
nately, neither you nor she can touch for
three years to come—you will have lefl
barely enough to live comfortably on.
As for Percy’s twenty thousand, we may
look upon that ps being as good as gone;
it b only a question of time, and no very
long time. Until it b gone it is no use
attempting to influence him. So much
for that! But now, my dear Mary,” con
tinued the judge, rhanging his tone, “1
wish to'speak to you on another matter
of no small moment to you, to myself-
and to Pauline!"

member her as an infant lying in your
anus; and it does not seem to me that I
have changed much since then. And yet
Pauline b a woman, and hdb more char
acter and substance, too, than many a
woman of twice her age. What miracles
time worksl”
‘She b the best girl imthe world!” said
the mother tenderly.
“I am much inched to agree with
you,” responded the judge.
“She b so strong, so clear sighted, so
faithful and upright," pursued Mrs.
Nolen. “And yet there b nothing cold
or unsympathetic about her. When her
emotions are touched, she seems all fire
and spirit. I am sure nosister ever loved
her brother, nor any daughter her moth
er, as Pauline loves Percy and me.”
“I can well believe it. And have you
ever seen signs in her of another sort of
love—not tliat of the daughter or the sis
ter?”
“Oh, I am afraid to think of that!” re
turned Mrs. Nolen, pressing her white
hands nervously together. “It is so easy
for a girl to make a mistake; and for her
a mistake would be fatall"
“I think she lias good sense enough
not to fall into any serious error,” paid
the judge, “though I am no less per
suaded that, if she '-»ved a man who in
himself was worthy of her, she would
allow no considerations of merely Ratfish
.prudence to prevent her union with him.
But I was going to ask you,” he added,
with a certain subdued anxiety in hb
deep toned voice, “whether it has come
to your knowledge—whether you have
any reason to think that she has already
met any ono who—whom 6ho would be
likely to prefer to any one eke?”
“I have not thought of it—it has not
occurred to met” said Mrs. Nolen, with
an accent of apprehension, looking at tho
judgo with wide open eyes.
_ “It b hardly too soon to take such a
possibility into oonH’dention.” lie re
turned. "Pauline is mature for her age;
and it is not too much to say that she is
one of the most beautiful young women
in New York. You take her a good deal
into society; she cpn hardly fail to meet
with admiration." .
Yea, yes, you are right, said the
mother. “Now that you speak of it, 1
sea tliat sucli a thing may happen. But
she has spoken to me of no one, and I
am sure she would have spoken if -—
Do not trust too much to that,” he
interposed. “A young girl, with a mind
as healthy and pure as hers, does not
readily ask lierself if she lie in love; she
may becomeso before she is aware of it,
and only the avowal of her lover will
open her eyes. Till then you cannot ex
pect her to speak of it to you. And then,
if she have made up her mind, it would
be too late to speak.”
“But would you advise me to question
her? Might it not suggest to her some
thing which she otherwise would not
have thought off”
“Tliat b not improbable. But why not
approach the matter from the other side?
is there no one among the young men
who know her who have shown signs of
any particular interest in her?”
“They all seem to admire her," said
Mrs. Nolen. “But I can think of no one
in particular—unless it be Percy’8 friend,
Mr. Martin.”
“Valentine Martin—the young Eng
lishman?" •
“Yes. Percy sometimes brings him
here. But his being a friend of Percy
makes a difference between him and the
others.”
“How so?" ■»
“In the fact of hb being here oftener.
I mean, if it were not for that 1 should
think hb visits had some further signifi
cance.”
“I am not altogether convinced that
bis being ^ friend of Percy would de
prive Ills visits of significance,” said the
judge. “It is conceivable, at any rate,
that ho might have made a friend of
Percy in order to facilitate lib access to
Pauline.”
“He seemed a frank, straightforward
young man, not one you would suspect
of doing anything underhand.”
The judge laughed; a very low, pleas
ant laugh he had, which made those who
heard it disposed at once to like him.
“You are more like a nun, in your un
suspiciousness and unworldiiness, than
like a married woman who goes in New
York society,” said lie. “Let me assure
you, my dear, that a man in love b not
to be held a criminal, or even a hypo
crite, if he uses some strategy to get near
the object of hb affection. I should for
give Mr. Martin even if he went so far
as' to pretend a cordiality for Percy that
he did not really feel, if so lie might in
duce Percy to admit him to the intimacy
of your household. No, if we are to
take exceptions to him, it must be from
another standpoint. What do you know
about hb personal history and hb social
standing in his ow.n country?"
“I suppose it must be good," said Mrs.
Nolen. “I think he said that his family
owned a large estate in Cumberland.”
“Is lie the eldest son?”
“The next to the eldest, I believe."
“And what b his business in Amer
ica?” - .
“I don’t know. But a great many En-
glbh people come here nowadays, you
know. It b a part of their education.”
Yes; but 6ome of them are pretty
well educated before they get here,” re
marked the judge dryly, *and occasion
ally they manage to teach us something
before they leave. There is in England
the same difference lietween an eldest
son and the other sons that there b be
tween a rich man and a pauper. By the
law of primogeniture the estates, and

observed. "As I have no means for honestly leading such
look back, it a life. They form a class of gentleman
seems impossible, adventurers. They are men of agreeable
but so it is. I re- manners and culture, talk well, look
well, are excellent at cards and billiards,
and live no one knows how. Some of
them come over here for reasons known
only to themselves; they are very pleas
ant acquaintances, but it b well not to
trust them too far. They have no fixed
place in the world and no responsibility.”
“You don't mean that Mr. Martin is—
an adventurer?” demanded Mrs. Nolen,
in a voice of faint consternation.
“So far as I know he may be the best
fellow in England. But I know nothing
about him one way or tho other. How
did Percy become acquainted with him?”
“He met him somewhere—at some
club, I imagine.”
“That, may be all right, or it may not.
At all events, you Will see that you should
proceed with some circumspection. The
'rules that apply to our young men do
not necessarily apply to foreigners. Mr.
Martin may be much better educated,
and have more polished and quiet man
ners, than nine out of ten of your Amer
ican acquaintances; and yet it might be
better that Pauline should marry the
least attractive of the latter than Mr.
Martin.”
“I wish you would see him and find
out whether he b nice,” said Mrs. Nolen,
with anxious earnestness.
“I would willingly do so, but for one
reason,” the judge replied, “and that is
tliat the peculiar circumstances might
disqualify me from forming an unbiased
opinion.”
“Oh, I am not afraid of that. My hus
band used to say that there could be no
one more impartial iuid just than you.”
“Even assuming that judgment of his
to have been impartial, I should never
theless bo disqualified from presiding at
a trial where, for instance, the prisoner
was charged with tho murder of some
friend of my own.”
“I do not understand, Mr.. Martin
has surely not murdered any one?”
Bless me, not I was only using an
extreme illustration. But Mr. Martin
might wish to obtain something which I
had set my own heart on possessing.”
There was a manifest embarrassment
In the judge’s manner. Mrs. Nolen
looked puzzled. She began to suspect
there was something behind all thb, but
6he could not divine what it was.
“I began life pretty early, as you
know,” continued he, tafter a pause.
“Since the age of 14, I believe, I have
supported myself. Measuring my exist
ence by that standard, I might be called
an old man. But though, in the matter
of years, I am uot exactly a boy, yet I
am but 43 years old, and you will admit,
my dear, tliat men have been known tp
live a good deal longer than that.”
“1 am sure you will live to be twice
43,” put in Mrs. Nolen kindly.
“Half that b all 1 would ask, if I
might realize the liappiness that I hope
for,” returned the judge, with a faint
smile.
“And is this happiness anything that I
can help to insure you?"
“1 can hardly say that In fact, it is
essential in one way that it should come,
if come at all, as freely and spontane
ously as tlie sunshine from heaven. Nev
ertheless, I am under obligation to speak
to you of my hopes, that you may ap
preciate my position and understand my
conduct." He stopped, and the color
mounted to hb face. “I love Pauline,”
he said, a strong emotion vibrating in
hb voice. “1 hope to make hei^love me
and to accept me for her husband.”
“Oil, judgel” exclaimed Mrs. Nolen,
taken wholly by surprise. She looked
at him intently for a few moments, and
then the startled look in her face soft
ened, and she began to smile. She left
her chair, and, coming to where he sat,
put a hand upon hb shoulder; and as he
looked up at her she bent down and
kissed him upon the forehead. She was I
srjlj smiling, but there were tears in her 1
eyes. *
“Do you think me absurd?” said the
judge.
“I think you are right,” was her reply.
“At first I could not believe—1 had al
ways looked up to you as to a sort of
elder brother—l could not imagine you
as the husband of myjittle daughter—
my own son-in-law. "But 1 think you
are right Pauline b a little girl no
longer; in almost everything but years
she b older than I; she b fitted to be the
wife of a man even so much older than
herself as you are. No one of her own
age would suit her as well.”
“Then you will not be against me?” he
said, starting up.
“Indeed, I will not All that I do shall
be done for you.” She put her hands in
his, and he grasped them warmly. “It
b more than half selfishness in me,” she
added. “It would give me some right
to rely on you. I should not feel so
lonely."
‘However thb may turn out, always
know that you may rely on me,” the
judge returned, with deep feeling. “Our
friendship began long ago, Mary, and
doesn’t need any other tie to bind it If
Pauline, when the question b put before
her, decides against me—and I am fully
aware how easily that may be her ver
dict—1 shall accept it like a man, and
you will remember that, so far as I am
concerned, it will involve not the slight
est change in my devotion to you and
yours. I sliall leave no honorable means
untried to win her; but, above all things,
I desire to avoid forcing her inclination,
either by any act of my own, or through
you. That you should approve of my
purpose is all I ask. Leave the rest to
Providence, and to her.”
“I understand,” said Mrs. Nolen, “and,
indeed, if 1 wished to help you, 1 should
not do it by singing your praises to her.
You being what you are, the best thing
to do is to leave her to find you out for
herself.”
“If Mr. Martin be my rival,” resumed-
the judge, “let him have hb chance and
defeat me if he can. If he be the better
man it will appear; and God forbid that
I should make her my wife knowing that
she would have been happier with an
other. But if love go for anything, I
love her well, and in all my life she is the
first and only woman I have loved.”
“You might have rivab more danger
ous than Mr. Martin,” returned the
mother, with another smile, and so the
interview came to a close.
