B t T. TV. ROBERTSON, ACTHOROl? “SOCIETY “SCHOOL.” ETC. 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 _ with her? man vo spoil sport. Why not bolt Bolt! 1\1 land you my last fiver to help you. I saw you too other morning. Ri-to’.-Uo-rol, lol-li-day." Mi-. on<f 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 end crumpled When at rraat opened the dining room rioar amt ibwnced “Mr Munro,” Mr Daw- fcarn b:- naler. urn? when the root’s clerk ^ ,.: r |^j .... . . _ tered, tho banker trembled moro violently. ‘Mr. Mwiro,” said tb a banker, when door was cloned, “you-, on-yon know why 1 have »eiit for you—on this tiv© occa—sion—si on, today f* 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 what I did not expect from you. I know 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 a deprecatory motion with ono hand. “I sist on it, sir, and shall take no denial. also insist on your leaving Bramlingdon night, or to-morrow morning, at the Should you havo any debts here, leave a of them, and today being Christmas day, will see that one of tho clerks pays them day- after to-morrow. There can be no cuse for j’our remaining, and your sir, is a matter of much more to mo than a few paltry pounds; so X hear of no objection.” Mr. Dawbarn paused and drew breath, tho young clerk lookod at him and then tho window, as if out into a far distance yond. “My accounts, sir”-he began, when banker interrupted him. “Will bo found quite right, I daresay. you only robbed mo of money, sir, I havo been better pleased. I have you only too well, and in return seo you have done.” Mr. Dawbarn struck clenched hand upon the table. “But matter. Do I understand that you will Bramlingdon to-night?” 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 daughter’s name to me, sir, if you please. 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 of hers—of—of my daughter’s.” 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 to your daughter as well ns a duty to you. 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 which sho was in tho habit of placing 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 and her father and mother had to her, and Mr. Dawbarn was in agony lest servants of his household should be of the disturbance, which was an entirely 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 church that day, as their absence might remarked by a devout but curious tion, and that she was to bathe her eyes look unconcerned, easy, comfortable and posed. passed 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 her impulse. She ran to tho door, seized 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.” CHAPTER XII. A rear had elapsed since Lucy had bidden farewell to her father’s through the dining room door. He had Bramlingdon and gone no ono knew Neither letter nor message came to Lucy; was too strictly watched. Sho often in tho garden and looked at that portion tho wall where they had concealed their * tetrs. Tho goad old brick that used to take out and put again was a tiling cf tho In its place there was a bran new red cemented by bran new white mortar that could see a mile off. Lucy bad been to don, and had been visiting not only father's and mother’s relatives but tbo nates of tho county, and had sa-.m ail sorts pleasures and fashion and distraction, and the end of six months had returned very and pale. weeks Sho hail'been homo but a few the news came that young Munro had from Liverpool for New York. It Lucy’s ears through a sympathetic maid. The next morning she sent word she would like to have a cup of tea sent her up stairs in her own room, as she had headache and beggod to lie excused from breakfast table. Mrs. iTawbarn knew sho had heard of Munro’s departure America, but sho did not dare to even tho name of- tho objectionable clerk her husband, who was entirely ignorant of young man's movements. Two or three after the doctor was sent for. The man hummed and hawed and said that patient was low. Lucy grew worse and A consultation was held. The young disorder was pronounced to be nervous and one white headed old gentleman London suggested to Mr. and Mrs. that if the young lady were engaged should not advise the postponement of ceremony. said “You see, my deariiif? Dawbarn," f old gentleman, “your dear daughter’s is partlT mentaL She has here no ment, that is, no fresh employment for mind. If you could substitute new fresh impressions, she would recover Her energy is wearing her to pieces; wants, so to speak, to begin her life again.

Italy, now, might create a desire to cultivate some art-say music, eh? Your dear daughter is not strong; her mind is too much for her body.* 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 on the stairs with tho sympathetic house¬ maid who lmd informed Lucy of Munro’* de¬ parture for America, and asking the girl why she was crying, and receiving for an- h'onHiV^r It for dinner.’ Miss Lucy> uedischttrgpd ( was a dismal Husband and wife 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 ?TO M COXTINCED.
