.???The Gentleman With a Fading
' Name, a Story in Sepia.??????
WRITTEN BY OBABLOTTB DUNNING.
It tu neither prying curiosity nor aa eye
fortilr.tr (oiks that drew him eo near the win'
dow. He was a bomelne man indeed, bat not
??? vagabond. Bu.ir.ee, had brought him
PQIowrille, and after eating tapper in the
tavern he bad wandered about the droway
atreataof the town, until, through the window
ofalow-aet, modest dwelling, he oaught
glimpteoia group around a table. At the
table tat a pretty girl who waa evidently at
fording excellent enter.ainment to an elderly
woman, an old man and a gawk o( a boy.
Although the gentleman without could not
hear the words the spoke, he could well see
her bright eyea and the amllea the brought to
tho faces of thoee who listened to her with fond
eagerness. She was telling a story, gesticulat
ing in a graceful fashion, and turning her bead
from aide to tide like a bird. The old man,
who bad a flowing while beard, leaned toward
her, putting hit open hand behind hia ear so
that he should not loso a syllable ofher
sprightly talk, and the gentleman outside
etepppd cn the porch the better to see the
girl's winsome face. Tho gawk of a boy began
to grin, displaying largo teoth stranded on
reel of red gums; the cd man lay back in hia
chair in exquisite delight, and the elderly
woman laughed so that har ample bosom shook.
She waa very fat. and abo pressed her hand to
her eldest though it aohed Irom two muoh
mirth. Suddenly the rose, and before the
S ntleman on the porch could beat a re'
e heid opened the door.
???I thought 1 heard somebody hero," aho
said with great good humor. "The belt la a
little out of kilter, and it don't-ring first rate.
Who did you want to ate I"
The unbidden guest, who did not look suds'
city, asked if Mr. Brown lived thero, and the
woman answered that he did.
??????But do you mean Mr. Uughson Brown or
Mr. Perry Brown/' aho added.
"Neither, Mr. Henry Brown," ho answered
] n n. f'tly.
The woman els wood her hands. "Why, he's
-dtsA.'knt "scy: /Uiwiw w??w??es.-K* , .;-Xy' '
and ne'il be real glad to seoyou. Come
in." .
"Oh, it is of no consequenco," he stammer,
cd,' lo conn queue.!."
??????Do come in and eee Perry,??? the said, plead,
ingly. "He la my husband???a lltllo doef, too,
hut don???t you let on that you notica it. Talk
good and loud and you???ll ba all right. Ho
won???t.own up to being deaf. Coma right In.???
Be expostulated, but finally .ufiared him.
at 11 to ba led Into the cosy,lamp-lighted room,
It waa plainly furnished, 'but tho red table-
cover, the rocking chair, with ou.hiona on the
crate, tho presence of a comfortable oat gars it
??? mast homelike aspect. The pretty girl look.
Cd;.t the stranger curioualy, tie gawk of a boy
atared and the old man put on a pair of spec
tacles.
"Pa," aaid the elderly woman, in a abrill
voice, "here is a gentleman come to see poor
brother Honry, not knowing ho was dead.
The old man rose and held out a thin, large,
veined hand.
???1 didn???t qnile cateh the color ollyour name,
alrfha aaid, jocosely,
"Gray,??? waa tho faltering response, given
with a nelpleee smile.
And then the old man chuckled i ???"Taint
aa goed wearing a color ae Brown. Grays will
fade. I waa in tba drygoods lino myself. Well,
her# la Mrs. Brown and our aon Henry-
named for his uncle???and onr neice, Mita Hat ???
tie Brown."
The gentleman with the fading name bowed
poltlaly in e.eh amt awejited fir. chair his
hostess offered. She waa tba soul of hospital
ity; aha Invited him to taka a cap of tea and
soma bread and batter, and lamented that tha
atewed peara and smoked beef wars all oaten
up, diverging a little to dwell on her aon???a
appetite, which mads him look abjectly miser
able, and was prababiy tba reason why he
slunk out of tha room. Tha guaet assured har
ctfvely. "Out west, I guess. Leadvillo,
likely. Bid you aver have anything to do with
the Maria miner
Mr. Gray'a lace brightened, then clouded
over.
"I did, Indeed," he anewered.
E "And loet something. I'll bntaeeoky,"erlid
Mr. Brown in glee. "Henry loet every cent he
had, and it was the death ot him, too. He
didn???t cwo yon any thing!" ha added, with an
atxlcna pucker ot bis wrinkled taea.
"On, not a penny???not a penny.???
???And you hadn???t heard ha was daad," the
old men continued "Ho's been dead???temme
act???it must ba ntgh onto lour years.''
???Four years next month," put in tha girl
???oltly. Bba waa helping har aunt to clear tha
table, and tba etranger'acyea followed her trim
, figure aa it Bitted to and from a cupboard,
i "Bid you bava anythiog in particular ts aay
to poor Henry t??? Mrs Brown askad, pausing
with a salt cellar in one band, a vinegar cruet
Sn the other#
"No, I happened to ba hare, and I thought
I would look him up. I had???rather loat sight
of him.???
"Wo bava all loat sight of him," said tha
old man solemnly, "hat I guess I'H seo him
Mora long. I am moat 84, air."
I Mrerilh!??? d ?? &,>,0U b ** D>ael> broke
Bo shook his held.
???I am jolt sitting hero waiting for death,
Elisabeth, and there is no nso trying to git
nr cut d it I ain't so piens ae to want to bo an
???sgel right off, either," he added, with o
twinkle in hie eyee; "end I never was much of
% band at music, ??o t ain't snre ho* I???ll mtn-
ape a harp, 'though I used to play tho flat??
when I was young. HaUte there, now eht???a in
training. Abasing* in the choir already; and
Henry, he's practicing on tha mouth organ. In
days o' youtn prepare for death. Pity X giro

Mr. Gray teemed at a loss f or words. Tha
jcorggirl drew nearer to him and said:
??????I had not seen my father for a year bsfore
ha died,and bodied away from borne. Tell
znasomething about him'*
A Ouch of shame flamed np in tbe gentle
man's face aa he looked into her beseeching
eyes.
???I don't know what to tell you," ha aaid
remarked. "First ha inva&ted a patent tack-
hammer, and then he was a book agent for a
spell???You a book agent?" he asked, sudden
ly turning to hia guest.
- "I am a lawyer."
"Ob, a lawyer." Mr. Brown atroked hia
beard. "Well, Henry wa*n*t a lawyer, but ha
was pretty much everything else. 'Twa'n???t no
use, though. Be was the youngest and tho
???mtrtestofusall???there was six of us boys???
and he just went ahead, losing money the
cheerfnlest of anybody I ever eaw. Boon as he
J ot any he got rid ol it right off. He was a
i-vsble fellow, bad a friend on every corner,
but loo con fid ine. When he hadn't anything
eice to do, he'd indorse; It gave him pleasure
to go on paper. Then at one time he re'lly
was quito rich"???here the old man rose in
sudden wrath???"and he went and lent four
thousand dollars to tho meanest scamp on the
face o* the earth, and he didn't bother about
security cither. Ho, it was all betwixt friends,
though I say to him that Tom Hallow was
"Who?" asked the ftranger sharply.
"Thomas Hallow. Know him? I know him
well."
The old men sank back In hie chair. "Thou
you know a darn scoundrel," he mutterod.
His wife lookco at him reproachfully, which
rousrd hi* Ire. "Yes, sir, a darn soouhdrel."
he shouted. "He is rich, rolling in wealth,
snd Hattie ain???t got a peony, and it was her
tether who gave him a start,and if he had any
gizzard he???d pay her the $4,000 her father
loaned him???loaned him! Give him! He
knows we???re all poor, but what does he care if
some folks up here in Fillowvllle have to
scrimp and save long as he has got all he
wan's I Ho Is a darn scoundrel, and you can
tell him 1 said so."
He looked at his guest, whose eyes were
???hinirg bright.
"1 will tell him," he said holly, "and I will
tell him I agree with you."
"Good for you I" cried Mr. Brown, all his
wrath vanishing at once.
"How, pa, you simmer down,"said his wife.
She snd her niece joined in the conversa
tion, which wandered ofTina pleasanter chan
nel. It was not much that the girl said, bat
her words were spoken with a frank smile and
txtrayedher mother wit. Whop the guest
took his leave she followed him to the door.
"You must not mind what my ancle said,"
she whispered. "He it very bitter against
???. Hallow."
???1 don't wonder at it," he returned, and ho
whispered toe. "It is a debt of honor. I
would pay it if I died doing it."
She looked up in his face with wistful admi
ration.
"If he wore only like you," she exclaimed.
"Do you want the money eo muoh?" he
aaked as one asks an engagingohildif she
craves a particularly fascinating doll. She
shot another quiet, upward glance at him.
"Ab," she answered; "you would not ask
that if you had ever boon poor"

Mr. Hallow tnrnad back to hit mirror and

"Good-morning to you Mr. White."
The gentleman with tha lading name shrug
ged hia shoulders.
"This will b* a pratty ulah to let bofora tho
quren," ho aaid.
He wu about to leaya, but ha wu called
back,
???Ah, hold on, Bon Quixote, what tha duos
docs all this mean/' You pounce on mo and
abuae me before tha sleep la out of my eyea. I
had forgotten all about Brown; I never knew
he bad a daughter. If b* had lived I would

Ilia gueit heaitated and fingered tha door
knob irresolutely. It wu wall that tha other
could not aeo hia face, for it wore aa expression
ol mingled acorn and diaguit. Ho cjuquorad
hia rapugnanea, however, and presently ao-
companltd Mr. Hallow down Filth .venae. It
was Sunday morning. Early for men who had
been to a stag dinner tha night before???lata fur
thoee who ware going to chnroh with wlvu
end daughters. In Dalmmlo???e breakfasts
were dawdled oyer by lonely, lanquld gentle
men, but those two talked aarnastly asrou a
corner table, a bottle ol wine and anndry
pretty littla kickabawa between them. When
they patted they shook hands.
"Now yon seo I am not aueh a low-brad
???camp," aaid Mr. Hallow expansively. ???I'll
fix it up brown this week, hal bat hal Yei,
and I???ll writs the brown maiden tho aoltost

Tha old man???s fair mouataohe twitched and

"Don???t mix ma into tba gashing epistle,"
ho uid; ???bear that in mind.
??? Oh. I won???t, alnca you meka aueh a point
of It. But don???t you forgat that I always meant
to pay that money, only 1 had rather lost
sight of Brown."
Wa have all lost sight of him,??? tehoad Mr.
Gray-White with a tors laugh.
Then ha stunted away alone and entered a
fashionable club, when ba atarad blankly out
a window until he wu aecostod.
"Muting, White. 8iw you breakfutlng

Montreal, Que., November 15,???The city Is
full of French Canadian conservative mem
bers of parliament, who wero summonod by
supporters, h??ld this after-
loco in the chambers of Mr. D. Grouard, for
the purpose of discussing the future action of
he members io tho event ot Riel being exe
cuted
The caucus was hold at i o'olock and was
attccdsd by a largo number of Fronch morn-
fceri ot parliament. Most of the rnombers
wero In favor of sending a telogram to Sir
John McDonald to tho effect that tbo French
cotsrrvatives would bolt in a body from gov
ernment support If Rtel was hanged. Ittraus-
S ired in tbe course of discussion that Sir
>ctor Langevin at the interview at Bt. Mar
tin's junction yesterday had intimated that
Mr. Cnaplean would giro them explat'oos on
tbe subject today, and It was consequently
datermlncd to odiouru the meeting uutil the
secretary of stats had been heard.
Mr. Chapleau met the memberj at the
Windsor hotel and from ail that can be learn
ed his explanations were to the effect that the
cabinet ia unanimous in its decision and will
???tMd or fall by it. It Is learned on tbe best
authority that tbo following joint telegram was
indited by the meeting and forwarded tonight
to Sir John McDonald at Ottawa:
Under the present circumstances tbo exocutlou
cf Louis Kiel would bo anactot croeltr, tbe re
sponsibility of which wo moit energetically pro
test against assuming.
The telegram was signed by twenty old
conservative members of the province ot Qae-
b??c. A similar telegram will be sent tonight
from Quebec, signed by member* of
tbo Quebec northern districts. This
means tb&t nine-tenths of all the
members from this province will voto against
Bir John McLonald at tho next parliament if
Riel be banged. This vote would pat him
out of power and compel tbe Immediate resig
nation of the Quebec ministers. Tbo detec
tion of the French vote will mean a chaos* ot
forty-three members from the conservative
to the liberal???ft quite' sufficient number to
send the present conservative ministry higher
than a kite, a
