Abel Goldwing's failure causcdmoro tlian a flutter of surpriso among tho social ami business circlcsof C . IIo was account ed beyond tlio breakers of financial ruin, and when tlio president of 'Change rend the announcement of Ii is failure, tho city mil lionaires looked In each others' faces and said"it cannot bo I" But thero stood tho man himself, pale, handsome, but as proud and unbending asever. To the many, whosur rounded hitn, trying to probe hisinisfortuno to tho bottom, ho said that ho had failed, so terribly j indeed, that ho feared ho would havo to part with tho Grange, hia elegant country seat overlooking tho rich mart of the West. Hail ho speculated rashly? Alas, yea 1 but ho did not say to what extent ho had been duped j ho kept to himself his fool ish speculation in English bond9, not worth tho paper they wero printed on! In his pride, crushed beyond licaling, ho kept tho particulars of hia failuro front tho gaping world, and let it feed on his reputation with out restraint. IIo closed his great business house, and met his creditors with that proud smile, which, in joy or mislortune, never left his lip?. IIo paid dollar for dollar, and, when tho last human wolf hail been satisfied, Abel Goldwing found that ho had mado several inroads upon his country scat known every whero as Greighton Grange. Buttoning his coat close about his form, ho left tho city, aud sprang Irom tlio vehicle as it stopped befora tho mansion. No wife camo forth to receive tho bankrupt and condolo with him in this tho darkest hour, but one, of his life; and no little children ran toward him cryim"napa' at tho top of their merry voices. Tho broken man was wifeless, and thero wero many proud belles in tho city ho had lust left be hind, who wero congratulating themselves upon what they termed their "escape." For, as things had turned out, they wero glad that Abel Goldwing did not, in the flush of his fame, ask for tlioir well gloved hands, "Uo cnloietl in his houo-hl homo no more. Tor without hearts there Is uo home; aud felt 'i no E0111 uuo of pcbmor bu own ooor Without a welcome 1" Jt was thus with Abl Goldwiuginowifej no sweetheart to greet him on tho threshold of Iho falryliko placo whero he had passed many happy days. Tho very servants seemed slatues of ice?, aud biting his lips for the first timo sineo his public downfall, ho passed up tho steps and entered tho soli ttulo of his library. Everything around him betokened wealth; tho luxurious furniture, tho great shelves of costly volumes, tho tas sels at tho damask curtains braided, as they were, with gold 1 Ho did not fling himself into tho chair whoso arms seemed ready to wclcomo and console him, and pour forth his heart in an agony of regrets. Ho stood erect, proud aud white as a ghost, in the centre of tho room f and for Iho first timo since leaving the city, lieaul tho sound of his own voice. Somebody's plan has succeeded 1" he sold bitterly, and Ihero was a tingo of hato in his tone. "Somebody has mado mo a financial wreck I Who hates mo so deeply? Where, in all my life, have I mado a single euemy who could deliberately blight my lifo aud mnko a beggar of me? What great sin have I dono to deserve all this? Tboso English bonds Ihoso worthies bits of paper, for which I paid my thousands to them I trace my financial ruin. Whero Is Gcofl'ty St. Wahn now? Whoso tool was tho crafty fellow? Oil, that he were hereythat I might rorco from him all tho infernal plot that succeeded so wcl( tearing me, fool that I was, from tho pinnacle of happiness and dashing mo ujion the rocks of disgrace. But I will rise I They may beggar me; but I shall still bo Abel Goldwing, able to regain my jwsition, tcrriblo to punish tho unseen foe who has so deeply wounded mo I" With the last word quivering his lips, tho broken merchant went to his desk, and drew forth a tiny gold locket richly set in jewels. Opening it, he gated upon the miniature of a girlish face framed in golden hair, beauti ful and fresh as a summer rose, jewelled with dew. Tho blue eyes tho inluiaturo was painted on ivory seemed to look straight into bis face with a world of lovo and tenderness, and for the first timo tho man betrayed the weakness of his nature. "Ifl had dealt fairly with you if I had listened when, on your kneos, you implored me to stop ami hear your defence, I might not havo these terrible resolves in my heart now," he exclaimed, looking at the picture. "I saw enough then to believe you fickle, bright eyed Amy Lee, ami, though my heart was wrong to its very depths, I cursed you with all tho bitterness of my soul, and Mi you on your knees beside the sea. I do not think you really loved me. After parted you never sent a message : but went and married him the man whom I fought be fore the whirlwind of inadiieM aw.pt you from my heart." He shut tho loeket with miwii UWotbm. and tossed it into the drawer from whlafa he had taken it. " Wo (here, forever," ho Mid. "I Oliver want to sec that Cice again !" Then ho took tho parcel of English bonds for which ho had plung.nl headlong into ruin, and, with nn angry toss, consigned them to tho grate, and smiling revengefully, watched tho fire consumo them. "I'm going now. Good bye, old placo I" ho said. Passing down tho steps, ho encountered Mr. Sandou, his business agent, whom ho had summoned to tho Grange. "A lucky meeting, Sandon," ho said. "I want you to sell Greighton Grange" "Yes, sir," was tho reply. "What shall you reserve?" "Nothing, sir, absolutely nothing! Give tho purchaser a bargain in tho place, furnl ture, books,evorythingl If you sell within thrco months write me at Athens, Greece. If you wish to keep anything for yourself, Sandon, take it and wclcomo) but sell the Grange, I don't want to think that I over owned it and was happy here." Sandon replied that ho would exert him self and sell tho estate, to good advantage, and thero followed a fervent pressuro of hands. The agent continued up tho steps, while Abel Goldwing passed out, and drove back to the city, A few hours later a tall, cold faced man boarded an eastward train, and as tho last steeple of tho metropolis faded from view, ho murmured in n tono of relief: "Thank Cud 1 I am out of tho city at last!" It was Abel Goldwing. CHAP. II. The Xeio Purchaser. Strange to say Abel Goldwing soon passed from tho memory of tho peoplo of C Once in a while a newspaper paragraph would recall somo incident of his life, and for a moment tho reader would sco beforo hiin tho handsome man who onco set all belledoni agog. Now and then somo con tinental traveller averred that he, or she, had encountered u man in Switzerland who look ed very much like tho broken merchant. He was seen in Australia, tho Netherlands, Franco, and one of C 'a scientists, sent out to observe tho transit of Venus, declared that ho had conversed with Abel Goldwing nnionir tho snows of Northern Russia. Ho seemed a veritable wandering Jew. Two months after his sudden departure from C , a person came into Sandon's littlo real estate oftico and asked if Greighton Grango was yet on his marketable list. The agent answered in tho affirmative, wonder ing if his questioner, a young woman, de sired to purchaso tho beautiful estate. "I would like to see it," shesaidjand San don drove her to tho Grange. "-Mr. Goldwing was compelled to part with tho place, I believe," alio said after tho mansion becomo visible with tho beauties of summer to mako it a very clysium. "Yes, miss," said Sandon, for his houso hunter had given her noma as Miss Tram pic. "In an evil hour, ho invested in a lot of worthless English bonds. But Abel Goldwing was honest honest as life." "Whero is ho now?" "I know not," Sandon sighed. "If they did bring him down if tho plot of somo cowardly man for that tho English bond business was an accursed plot I am satisfied did succeed, Abel Goldwing stands dearer to mo to-day than ho ever did, Ho was a man aftcrmy own liking; loo proud to bend, too grand to lllng himself into a chair, and play tho woilian. Your pardon Miss Tram plo;no Insinuation, I assure you." "Certainly not," tho poor creaturo said, who had been listening intently. "We havo yet a littlo distanco to go. Tell me all about your master. Anything will interest me. Tell mo something, at least." Her tono was almost pleading, and thero was a mist on her long, dark lashes, that es caped Sandon's detection. Ho told her all he knew about Abel Goldwing, and she never took her eyes away from his face while he talked. "IIo never married, then?" "No. His lifo seemed to bo burthened with but ono regret. He would not discloso it to me." Miss Trample started slightly, and turned her head away. Greighton Grango was in full view, and tho agent, believing that she was enjoying the sight, began to point out tho points of more than passing interest. At last the houso was reached, and tho agent took Miss Trample through it. She lingered in the library, for Sandon told her that tho broken merchant hail spent his last moments there, and when ha showed her whero he had stopped on the stair, and told him (Sandon) to sell the Grange, sho asked quickly t 'Can you show me the very step on which he stood?" The agent could not divino the causo of Angila Trample's interest in the distant exile i but ho did not attempt to fathom it, and so sold her tho lovely plaoo without so mueh as asking her who intended to occupy it.

"This Is add in ir insult to injury ryl" sho cried, stepping aside that ho might have an unlntcfujitcd passage to tho door. "Herbert uiatr, torn as you navo been not to ioiiow rao, why are you here?"

He looked at her for a moment, laughod coldly till sho shivered, and then left tho room. Tho beautiful tenant of Greighton Grango was alono. CHAP. III. After Storn; Calm. Miss Tramplo was Amy Lee. Tho visitor whom wo havo seen peremptorily dismissed from the Grango had called her by hor right name; and she had started at tho sound thereof as it was a nama which sho hail tried to forget. After Herbert Blair's da- Iiarture, sho went to tho window and saw dm go down tho walk, and out into tha high road that led to 0. Sho watched him until he passed from her sight in the distant avenue. With her hands holding tha curtains back, and the flush of imagination still on her faultless face, Amy Leo recalled soveral scenes of her young lite. Sho saw herself onco more the beautiful Inmate of tho mansion that over looked tho British sea; happy In tho smiles of a proud American who had accidentally encountered her when her hands were full of shells, and her eyes filled with girlish de light. Abel Goldwing was ii England then, making that tour during which he loved and cursed tho same fair creature in six brief months. Amy saw herself courted, petted belle again, admired by Herbert Blair, and loved by tho American merchant. Sho did not know that she could trillo wjth tho ono by flirting with tho other. Again sho recalled that one night beside the sea, wheu Abel Goldwing found his rival on his knees beforo tho girl who seemed to bo listening with a smile on her lips. She caw In in spring forward and fling tho English man to tho very grasp of tho tide; she heard him call her who loved hint so a giddy, fickle hearted girl, and with his last eurso of madness ringing in her ears as she swoon ed, sho saw him turn away. Then followed tho duel m which Abet Goldwing held his rapier's point to Herbert Blair's throat, and (pared tho schemer' life. "Now, after thrco years of remorse, such as few women sometimes know Amy Lea Btood beneath tho roof which had sheltered Abel Goldwing, Had ho thought of tho girl who had trifled with, his love? Some times she imagined that never for ono mom ent had sho been absent from his mind, and then again when she found her picture in his deslc, sho thought that ho had banished her from his memory. A girl no longer, but a woman with tho beauty of girlhood still her own, the stood nt tho winduw calling back tho past, and trying to pierce, by looking heavenward, tho future which tho angels screened from her .yes. At last, when the figure of Herbert Blair was no longer visiblo on tlio road, sho let tbo curtains kiss again, and went down into tha golden woods. They were, indeed,, golden, lor tho soft skies of "Indian summer" wero overhead, and the loveliest sunset of tha year was already burning in tho west. Leave liko angelic benedictions fell Uion her head as she went down tho path with tho hand some dogs that frightened tho quails front cover, and raised tho woodland gold about them in a shower. Sho did not ting as sho was wont to da till the servants listened enraptured but her heart was merry all tho time. For had sho not triumphed over Herbert Blair? bad she not boldly told him that sho was trying to atono for her fickleness where tho wrong ed heart had sullered in sileuco 1 Down upon a leafy knoll, in the prettiest part of tho woodt Amy sank to play with tho little animal which the big dogs often chased to ner arms, in ucr laugnter, sne seemea to havo forgotten her recent visitor, as fpt a moment wo banish from our heart the clouds that cover them. But all at once tho larger dogs came run ning towards hor with loud oavinir. and planted themselves quite near. Amy knew that they had seen something, and looking over her shoulder sho beheld the object or their fright a man! He bad stopped in tho path and stood like) a statuo there, with his eyes fixed upon her. Tall and very handsome, with gray hairs in his luxuriant whiskers, and with a look that mado Amy start and spring erect, ths man continued to confront her. The dogs had ceased to bark, and wero wagging their tails as if they recogniied him, Tho eyea of man and woman met, and tho next moment n figure bounded past tha dogs, and Amy, with a joyous cry, felt her drawn to wildly throbbing heart.
