CHAPTER X. *
“VVortH you have tfeo kiu<lnesss to step this
way, sir. Into Mr; Daw barn's room?”
These words wore addressed by a linker’s
(Jerk to a young man whoso dress and man¬
ners’. were a vulgar compound' of groom,
l etting man, and pugilist. The sporting
gentleman swaggered by tho desks and the
"clerks, looking infinite disparagement at tho
whole concern, and was ushered through tho
double doors into presence of Mr. Daw*iarn.
Mr. Da whim was t he principal banker in
Bramlinglon, and Dramliugdon was tho
county town of tho little county of HufTord.
Xt consisted of one long, straggling street,
beautified by five old churches, each a
splendid sjiecimeu of architecture, which
contrasted s.rough- with tlio Town Hall,
the Corn Exchange, and the Market Place,
which were modern buildings, and unpleasant
to look at. •
•‘Mr. Stridden,” said Mr. Dawbarn to tho
young gentleman of sporting appearance,
“I have to talk to you, sir, very seriously;
sit down, if you please."
Mr. Stridden sat in a chair as if it were a
saddle, shut one of eye his knowingly, and ex¬
amined tho thong whip with the other.
“Mr. Studden,V continued tho banker
solemnly, “I havo been informed that you
have overdrawn your account to tho amount
of’--,
“Yes; I know all about that, governor,”
broke in Mr. Studdeu. “l’vo been told so
twice.”
“I therefore gave directions that the next
time you presented a check, you should bo
shown in hero to me,” said tho banker.
“That is—a check of my own draw ing.”
“Quito so.”
“Well, now 1 am here,” said Mr. Studdeu,
ponding the sidqpif his imaginary horse with
his left heel;- “respectful comps, and should
like to know your little game. What's to bo
done!”
■ “Mr. Btudden, I havo known you from a
boy." "
“Well, 1 know that.”
“And I now see you a ruined man”-
“Hold hard, Matilda,” interrupted Stud-
fen; “not ruined—pushed for the moment—
on my kr.ees, but not staked. I’ve been un¬
lucky on the race3 this last year—unlucky at
play. Why, last night I lost a pot at loo,
and then that girl behaved to mo in”-
Mr. Studden,” said the banker, closing his
eyes, “I cannot listen to a catalogue of your
cri—cri—imprudences. I am the father of a
family, and”-
“Cut that, governor I” broke in the amiable
Mr. Studden. “What I want is money, and
not preaching—no p»:achee and floggqo too.
This is the state of the odds. I've overdrawn
my account, good; will you let me have
some more? tin, 1 mean. If you will, X am
sure to retriovo myself. I’ve some splendid
things on, but must have tho ready—ti—id-
dity—rhino.” *
“Mr. Studden,” said Mr. Dawbarn, “I do
not understand your jargon, nor is such lan¬
guage the sort of thing I am accustomed to
hear. You havo lost the fortune left you by
your father in gambling, horse racing, and
—and tho like. For tho last seven years I
have seen going to irretrievable ruin. As you
had a long minority, and no friends to advise
you, I have tried to help you, but I
regret to say, your complete ruin is inevita¬
ble—inevitable."
“Bet you fifteen to one it isn’t I” said Mr.
Studden.
“What you owe me,” continued the banker,
not noticing tho interruption—“what you
owo mo I shall never troublo you for.”
“Bless youl” said the irreverent Studden.
Mr. Dawbarn’s faco reddened. “Mr. Stud-
len,” he choked out, “I am not accustomed
to bo treated with rudeness, and I don’t mean
to begin now. I would havo given you some
advice, sir.”
“Don’t want it, thank you."
“Good advico, parental advice; but it will
be of no use, 1 can see.”
“Not a bit.”
“I shall leave you therefore to tho pursuit
of your career of profligacy, and may 1t—
may it”—Mr. Dawbarn stammered, for ho
felt that lie was proposing a toast at a public
meeting—“may it provo to vou that—that—
that”-
“Out with it, governor,’’ said the insolent
young sporting man,
“No, sir, I will not out with it,” said the
banker, majestically. “I will not say what
l was going to say.”
“Are you quite clear what you were going
to say?” inquired the young man, who re¬
spected neither age nor wealth.
Mr. Dawbarn covered his defeat grandly.
“I will not detain you any longer, Sir. Stuil-
ien.” He rang tbo bell. “I wish you good
lay, sir; my servant will show you out.”
“Very good, governor,” said Mr. Studden,
ilsmounting from his chair, or saddle. “You
throw me over—very good; and just at tho
moment when I could make a colossal for¬
tune. If I had your capital, or you had my
talent aud speculated—ka fooziluml—what
might not be made with the tips 1 have’. I
know tho way out, Chawles”—this Mr. Stud-
ien uddressed to the servant—“you needn’t
ihowms. Mr. Dawbarn, I havo the honor
to be, sir, yours truly, ever to command, et
setera—cetera—cetera. ”
Mr. Studden departed with a flourish,
leaving the banker in a state of the most
wrathful indignation. Mr. Dawbarn was n
great man in Bramlingdon and accustomed
to be treated with respect and deference and
servility, and though so excellent a person,
Mr. Dawbarn was something of a humbug,
Hid the you g man’s manners had convinced
him that ho knew it, and it i3 very annoying
to men of GO years of age to bo found out by
their juniors. Mr. Robert Studden, or, as ho
was called, Mr. Bob Studden, or Mr. Rip
Studden, swaggered past tho cashier and
fieri;x with tho ease of a jockey and tho gi-ucs
of a groom. A dozen steps from the door of
the ltub; ho met a clerk whom ho stopped.
“Halloa! ’ he cried, with graceful badinage,
“Muui’o, how goes it?”
“How do you do, Mr. Studden?” inquired
tho clerk.
“Don’t bo in such a hurry. Well, how is
She, ch?”
“Mr. Stud—I”-
“Don’t bo afraid, my boy. I’m not tho

Bolt! 1\1 land you my last fiver to help you.
I saw you too other morning. Ri-to’.-Uo-rol,

Studden closed eye, thrust his
tongue into his cheek and sfi’oiled down tbo
one long, straggling street of JUramiingdoii,
tho .pink of sporting seif conscious vulgarity.
CHAPTER II.
Itifisiyail country town it is impossible
that anyth';) ' can bo kept secret, except
murder, and then rumor points to so
many probable criminals that justice and
defective policemen become lost in surmise,
and embarrass the innocent that the guilty
may go free. Slow to dotect murder, the
provincial intellect is swift at tho discovery
of love. Had Romeo met J uliet at a fancy
Ball in PeddUflgbam, instead of at a mas¬
querade in Verona, and afterwards prowled
a!>oi!t the garden of his mistress’ father’s
house, the Signori C’apulet and Montague
would have been informed of the occurrences
early on the following morning by several
competent and credible eye witnesses—all of
the gentler sex, and the majority on the other
side of flre-and-thirty years of nge.
It was was Christmas Christmas day, day, cold, cold, clear clear and and
frosty. Mr. Dawbarn was dressed in his
brightest black, and his cravat was as a mon¬
ument t® (the most irreproachable of laun-
dresoes. But Mr. Daw bam was pale and
agitated, his head shook and his hands trem¬
bled, rill the’papers be held in them rattled

‘Mr. Mwiro,” said tb a banker, when
door was cloned, “you-, on-yon

Tho young clerk, who was os pale as Mr
Dawbarn, faltered out, “No, sir,” with
transparent an effort that the banker
that tlio young man perfectly understood
reason of the interview.
‘Your conduct, sir, has been such that
I I do not know how to address you,”
mered Mr. Dawbarn. “That ybu, sir,
servant, my paid and salaried
should have so abused my confidence;
have so dared to try to so injure mo

sir, alL You are discharged from tho
this moment.”
A pang shot over tho young man’s face.
“Vou will not be allowed to enter
again. This quarter's salary is there,
The banker put upon the table a small
packet. “As I shall not suffer you to
your place at your desk again, there is a
yeaVa salary.” Tho banker placed
small packet on tho table, and the clerk

to mo than a few paltry pounds; so X
hear of no objection.”
Mr. Dawbarn paused and drew breath,

“My accounts, sir”-he began, when

“Will bo found quite right, I daresay.

Munro took his eyes from the window,
looking full in tho banker's face, said;
“Lucy.”
Mr. Dawbarn’s face turned scarlet, and
again struck the table. "Don’t mention

won’t hoar it! How dare you? There,
aro tho rubbishing letters you have sent
her, and if you have any sense of decency
honesty left, you will return those you

Munro took up the letters his former
ter had tossed to him.
“Did you hear mo, sir?” asked’ the banker.
“I beg your pardon.”
“I say, will you give me back her
and will you leave Bramlingdon tonight?”
There wa3 a pause, and tho bells of
church rang out for morning service.
“I can mako no promise, sir,” replied
young clerk, very clearly. “I havo a

sho desires that I should”-
“You set mo at defiance, do you, sir?”
in tho banker. “Very good, very good;
don’t suppose that if you stay hero
that you will see my daughter, or be
to write to her. If you stop in
sho goes. Next week sho travels with
mother to London, abroad, anywhere,
from her father’s presmnptuous clerk,
becauso his master asked him a few times
his house, to sit at his table, and treated
as an equal, so far forgot himself os to
his eyes up to his daughter, his only child.”
'It had been a terrible Christmas
in tho banker’s house. Mr. and Mrs.
barn had been informed that their
daughter, Lucy, rose every morning
and had an interview with tho young
Munro, in the kitchen garden, tho door
which opened into a lano, and of which
oither Lucy or tho young clerk, or both,
sessed a key. Lucy had been forced into
fession, and lmd gone oil her knees to
papa, and wept and implored him not to
her George. Sho had given up all his

her pillow every night, and which
Munro had written stealthily in
hours and placed in a certain portion of
wall, near tho tool house in tho kitchen
den. Mr. Dawbarn went on wildly
frightened Mrs. Dawbarn, a good,
woman, into a fit. When Mrs. Dawbarn
covered, Miss Lucy went off into a

servants of his household should be

necessary excitement on bis part, as
the servants, had known all about it for
last eight months. Poor Lucy was told
Munro was to be immediately sent
but that she and her mamma wero to go

tion, and that she was to bathe her eyes

As Lucy and her mamma tho
of the dining room, Lucy heard tho
clerk's voice. Sho knew that sho
never sea him again, and sho could not

handle, and would havo ojjeuod it, but
mamma pulled her away, and on tho
side Mr Dawbarn rushed to tho door and
his back against it. Munro strodo to
window, that bo might take a last look of
mistress as sho left tW) house.
“Good-by, Gcorgo deal’, good-by!”
poor Lucy in the passage. “Wo shall
sco each other again; butgocd : by and
by and good-by again.”

Lucy was takon to Harrogate, to Chelten¬
ham, to Leamington and Scarborough, then
to the south of France end Italy. Whan she
returned to Bramlingdon she had to be lifted
from the osi-riago. Her father, who had pot
seen her for t wo months, was struck with the
visible alteration in her face and figure. He
himself carried her to her room and was
hardly conscious of his burden. She
said she was tired with her journey
and would go to lied. Mr. Dawbarn de¬
scended to dine with histHfe, and meeting

spoke but little, and when one caught the
the other s eye there was a great show of ap-
petito. Mr. Dawbarn drank a considerable
quantity of sherry. When tho cloth was re¬
moved tho conversation flagged. Neither
dared begin the consultation they felt was
Inevitable. Before they went into Lucy’s
room to look at her as she lay sleeping, Mr,
Dawburn put his arm around bis wife’s waist
and kissed her on tho forehead, a proceeding
which made the good old lady tremble very
much and her mouth and nostrils quiver.
Side by side in tho dark tbo couple lay
awake in their luxurious chamber, starting
at tho reflection of the window .frame upon
the blinds. The father began.
“Jemima.”
“Philip,” said the mother.
“What do you think of Lucy?”
The mother heaved a deep sigh.
Good God!” said tho banker, “when I
took her up in my arms I could hardly feel
her weight. She was like a feather*—like a
feather. Jemima, you’re crying, my love.
Toll me, honestly, now, honestly, candidly,
as yofi think. Tell me, tell mo.”
Tho wife threw her arm around her hus¬
band’s neck and sobbed: “I fear that wo
shall lose her."
It was spoken, and death was recognized
as a presence in tho house.
“D’ye think there's no hope?”
“Only one, and that a very poor one.”
Mr. Dawbarn felt a mental qualm, for he
knew what was coming.
“What’s that?” he asked.
“You’ll bo angry with me, Philip, if I tell
you.”
“Angry, my dear? no, no, not a bit," said
the father.^
“You know what I mean."
Tbo banker sighed.
“Do you meau”-he began.
“Yes, I do,” replied tho mother. “If Lucy
could see or hear of that young man, I be-
lievo sho would recover. I’m sure it would
do her good.*
Thero was a long pause. Mr. Dawbarn
groaned in spirit, but he felt that his wife
was right.
“I had such better views for her," groaned
the banker.
“Yes, my dear, I know you had,” said the
wife, pressing his hand.
“Lord Landringa was most particular in
his attentions, and Sir Theophilus Ilawdon
absolutely spoke to mo about her.”.
“I know he did," said tho acquiescent wife.
“Think of Lucy being Lady Loqdringa or
Lady Hawdon! county people—and then of
her being Mrs.-oh!”
“It’s a sad thing, dear, bat what can wo
do now that she’s so ill—poor thing! And if
wo could savo her life”-
Mr. Dawbarn turned in the bed. “I’ll ask
Topham about it to-morrow." (Topham was
tho doctor.) “I’ll hear h^ opinion.”
“I have asked him,” said the mother, “and
he agrees with me."
“But how can it be done?” asked the
banker, turning again restlessly. “I can't
ask tho fellow to marry my daughter."
“No, but you can offer him a situation in
tho bank."
“Suppose he refuses.”
“Ho won’t refuse.”
“But how can I find him? Where is he?"
“In America,” answered Mrs. Dawbarn.
“America!” repeated the banjter, sitting
up in bed. “Tbon how the deuco is ho to be
got at?”
“Advertise for him. If he will apply to
So-and-So, he will hear of something to his
advantage. I asked Dr. Topham’s advice
about all that.”
“Advertising is not respectable,” said tho
banker; to which his wife made no reply but
tho word ‘Lucy.”’
“Besides,” continued do™ iks. Dawbarn, after
a short pause, “if you like advertising,
send somebody after him to find out where
ho is.”
“Send somebody! Bend who?
“Oh, that Mr. Studden; ho’s doing nothing
and I dare say will be glad of the job."
“I supposo that'Topham advised that too?,’
“Yes, ho did.”
“I thought I recognized Topham’s interest
in that young vagabond. I suppose you and
kohavo talked this matter over now some
time.”
“I and Mr. Studden?”
“No, vou aud Tooham."
“Yes.”
“And you’ve arranged it all between you.”
“Yes."
“Why didn’t you tell me this before,
Jemima?”
“I was afraid.”
“Afraid! Afraid of what?”
“Of you.”
“Of mil, Jemima? Don’t you think I love
my child as much os you?”
“I'm sure you do; but you men don’t un¬
derstand some things. ”
“But Tophac's a man," remarked the
puzzled banker.
“But then he's a doctor,” was tho reply.
Mr. Dawtiam groaned inwardly, as a pos¬
sible coronet presented itself to his mind's
eye—and then faded away. “I suppose you
must have it your own way.” he said.
“May I, I’hilipf’ asked his wife, putting
her arm around his neck a second time.
“Yes, 1 believe you’re in the right. But
won't the shock—the surprise hurt her f'
“I’ll answer for that May I tell her to¬
morrow?'
“Yes,” sighed the vanquished father.
“Bless you, Philip!” said the good mother;
and sho kissed her partner, and both wife
and husband slept the sleep of the just
