Then followed nn announcement
which, for nn instant, caused tho book
keeper to turn hot and cold with light
ning rapidity,
Perhaps you will bo interested in a

an important addition to the banking
account of tho linn, and especially an-

his heart with a sort ot comfortable
condescending benevolence and good
will to all the world, which descended
even to the affairs of ho unimportant a
personage as Ins book keoper.
"Have you had any bad news 7
"No, sir."
"Perhaps you aro in debt. Don't
be afraid to tell mo the truth, Wynn.

I assuru you, nnd I might do some

"I thank you most gratefully, Mr.
Blair, but I have no debts."
"I lien there is nothing else for it,

Wynn started, blushing to the very
roots ot his hair, but could hud no
words to reply, whilo tho merchant
stared at him for a moment, and then
laughed uproariously, rubbing his
hands for glee ns ho exclaimed :
"There, I have it at last I Uome, out

"The sootier the better ! My boy, I

As ho speko tho merchant turned to
his desk and filled up a check, which
he handed to his companion. "There
is tho wedding present of which 1
spoke. Of course you must get n
special license. My carriago will also

tho way, what does tho young lady

"She is anxious that I should do

"Ah, I seo sho is n sensible woman 1
I should like to call in tho course of

"Very well, my boy. I wish you

course of the morning, and I will give
you tho letter I promised to my friend
the clergyman."
About nine o'clock p. m. on tho day
of tho marriage Mr. Blair, adorned
with the unusual splendor ot light kid
gloves and a white necktie, and carry
ing an enormous bouquet of roses and
orange-blossoms, entered tho Grosven
or Hotel nnd inquired lor Air. and
.Mrs. Wynn. no was told that tno
gentleman had been at tho hotel in tho
morning and ongaged rooms for him-
self and wife, but had not as yet ap-
peared with tho lady.
"Then I will wait in their room tin
til they arrive; it can't bo long now,'
replied the merchant; nnd ho was
shown into the pleasant little sitting

astute clerk had already settled in his
mind to bo bride and groom
Mr. Blair had not long to

Ho had received a letter from tho
young man whom he hoped to call his
Hon-in-law, appointing a day for his
visit to Richmond, and tho prospect of
this marriage was abovo all a source
of self congratulation with him.
Then, too, this ovening's event af

Later tho merchant had taken out

To his own surprise, even in tho

Bomething in his daughter's pathetic
words caused him a pang of genuine

wlint a lonely, neglected lifo his child

This is a great disappointment to
