"And so you love my daughter ?"
John EvHiticigh, tho' merchant prinCc,
leaned hack in his chair, and looked long
and sternly at Basil ShcrWootl.
"Yes, sir, I do," the young man answered
frankly. "I am aware that there is a vast
(iiilcrcnco in our twsilions, socially, nt pre
sent, as tho world looks at it. But ydu
wero a poor boy once, and I think you will
not say that you were not as well qualified
to liolii tho position you hold hovV, eocially,
as you wero after you becamo wealthy.
do not wish to bo considered egotistical nor
conccitell, becauso I am not. But I am not
afraid to say, as I believo every young man
ought to, if ho can say it truly) that, savo in
the 0110 item of wealth, I anion a level with
your daughter. I do not consider that I am
aspiring beyond what I am justified in do
ing, and I do uot consider that sho is stoop.
ing at all wheii sho tells me that eho loves
me."
'Then sho has told you that she loves
you 7"
John EvcrsleigiiVtono was cold.'nnd hard,
His face was colder and harder than his
tone,
"Yes, sir, eho has," rltlsvf trcd Slrfrwood
"It is with her permission that I have told
you this. I havo received an ofTer of a posl
tinn in a largo cxpotting houso in India. If
I have your permission to marry your
daughter, I sh'slltlot ilccc'pt it. If you do
not consent, I shall go."
"You had better notify the parties making
the oiler, that you accept it ns soon as possi
ble," diiswtldd Mr.EvcrslcighjWith a scorn
fill curl of his lip.
"You don't mean" began Sherwood,
turning pale.
"1 do mean just this," cried fcvcrsltigh,
purplo v ill! lagc. "I mean that you aro an
impudent puppy, sir, and that if it wasn't
for compromising my dignity) I'd give you
a good horsewhipping. Love my daughter)
indeed 1 I know what you'ro after. It's
plain to eco that you nspiro to becomin;
rich man, aud you intend to take a short
road to wealth by marrying a woman who
has money, Lcavo my houso this minute,
sir, and if I hear of your insulting my
daughter any inoro by youraudocious atten
tions, I will horsewhip you! Itcmember
tliatl"
The old man seized the bell roire aud pul
led it violently.
"I waut to say a few words beforo I go,"
began Sherwood, palo to the lips with anger
nnd disappointment. But Uvcrsleigh would
not listen to a word.
A servant answered tho bell.
'Show this young man to the door," ho
said, motioning toward Sherwood. "If ho
presents himself hero in future ho is not
to bo admitted on any pretense whatever.
lou understand, William.!"
"Ycs,sir," answered William, with a grin
at bherwood.
The young man turned without a word)
anil walked out of tho house, lie dared not
trust himself to say anything, for his tern
per was up to fever heat.
"And so that ends my dream," ho said,
bitterly, when ho had reached tho street.
"Of course sho would not marry mo against
ins wishes. I shall go to India and try to
forget. But I shall not succeed in doing it.
I can never forget her."
Ono morning, about a month later, thcro
was wild excitement in the cityi
Tho bank of which John Eversleigh was
President had been broken open and rob
bed of $100,000,
Suspicion jiolnted to but ono person, and
that was Basil Sherwood,
He had been head clerk In the bank, aud
knew all about tho jilace. Ho had stood
high in tho confidence: of tho oflicera and
had had every chance to get at the money,
if diejuwd to do so.
He bad been seen In the city at dark, lie
had told a friend that he was going to tall
for India tho next day. But It was ascer
tained that he did not sail on any vencl
that left that port) and thcro could bo bill
ono conclusion) nnd that, that ho bad taken
tho money arid gono lit sonto undiscovered
direction:
Ho Wds tltlerinintdlo have money, and,
If ho could not get it ili 0110 way, ho would
havo it in atiottier," declared Mr. Ever
sleigh to his daughter, after tho discovery
of the robberv.
'You think ho was tho thief?" slid eried)
very pale, but with an indiguaut llasll ill
her eyes.
"Of course!," her father ailswercdj "What
else ban I think, Alice' V
"I don't know," she answered, tears coin
ing to dim tho fire in her eyes nil at once.
"But, if you knew him ns well as I do, you
would kitow that ho nerct took tho motiey.
Basil Sherwood never would become a thief."
"Who took It then?" cried her father)
angrily.
"I don't know," sho answered. "1 wish
I did; but I would as soon suspect you as
Basil Sherwood.'1
The old man turned upon her with a face
p.ilo as death.
"What do you mean t" he cried, clutch
ing her by tlid ami. "Would you take
sides w'illl that miserable fellow against
me 7"
"I mean just what I said," sho answered,
unflinchingly. "I do not believo that Basil
Sherwood took thb stolen lrioiioyi Who did.
I do not know. But I shall llever believo
that tho man I loved was a tliiefi You
havo chosen to separate usj I am your
daughter, and I recognize your authority
over me. But you have no autiiority oVcr
my heart, and I shall always love Basil
Sherwood atld have a woman's faith in his
honor:"
Five years went by;
Five years bring many changes lo yoting
and old. They slight no one. These years
brought maiiy added Jurrows to John Ever
sleigh's brow.
"How fast ho grows old," everybody said
Aud ho had aged wonderfully fast in tho
last fivo years. His form was bent atid his
btep had lost its elasticity. Ho was an old
man, and a man upon whonl card seemed
to weigh heavily. Looking at him you

Eversleigh. They slolo the youthful anima
tion her face had held, and gavo hcinstcad
a thoughtful look, and a quiet, subdued
manner that told you sho had thoughts of
her own to busy her. Sho seemed to bo
waiting, I do uot think sho realized it ex
actly, but for all that thcro was a vaguo
tenso of expectancy in her hcartlTiino
would work other changes in years to
come. Who know' what they would be?
Ono day a swift chango came. Her
father was stricken down in n moment, and
tho physician said ho would never rally
from tho sudden blow. It meant death.
''Ho may linger for days, and ho may die
in an hour," they told her.
And sho watched and waited, and hope.
Ono night ho woko up from a troubled sleep,
aud called to her. She was at his sido in
stantly.
"What can I do ioi yoti ?" she asked
"Sit down," ho said, "I want to mako it
confession to you beforo I die, I want you to
write it down, and when I am dead, you
must promise mo that you will do this?'
"Yes, I promise," shb answered, wonder
ing if his mind was wandering.
"Basil Sherwood did not steal that nlontfy)'
ha said slowly.
"I knew itlv,sho'cricd, with illy repressed
excitement. "Ho could not have become a
thief."
" stole it 1" John Eversleigh said, husk'

Ejaculations, and they had been losing ones.
I must havo money or becomo a (beggar.
knew that Sherwood was going away. But
I knew that tho robbery would bo discover
ed beforo his vessel sailed, and I did not
know how I could obtain the money, throw
the suspicion ujwn him in such a way that
it Would 6ecm well-founded. Butthat night
ho got a telegram froth a man in Bostou,who
Was connected with the firm for which he
Was to work in India, Ordering him to that
eity immediately) nnd saying that ho could
soil from there the next day. Tho message
Was imperative, and mustboobeyed at once,
as uo time could bo lost. By somo means
the message was sent to him in my caremd
bo I found out about tho change of plan. I
sent it to him, and no one but lis knew that
ho left for Boston that night. This afforded
me a chance to work on. I f-tolu the money,
and everybody suspected Sherwood at once.
It was found that ho did not sail on the ves
sel he had said ho intended to, nnd it was
taken for granted that he had gone in somo
other direclldn. I hushed tho matter tip, or
rather part of the money I had stolen did,
and nothing was tltntd to trace him. I have
kept my secret all these years, but I cannot
die with it on my soul. He is in India, but
ho knows nothing of the stain ujn his
name. When I am deed you must write to
him aud tell him all, and say that I begged
Ut his forgivenew, but you will let the
world, who deemed him the guilty jwrton,
know that he wa innocent and that I was
the thief I You may think It hard thing to
do of your father, who is dead, but I with it

to do to tlio dead, tU lid said ) hdt lie had
