'One week, to-morrow, over the month,' said the clerk, examining the ledger. 'Whew !' whistled the landlord, 'Has he no lriends to pay for him V 'Plenty of friends now, but let them find out that he is broke aud they'll be off like a convey of birds.' 'I must see him ;' and the hotel propri etor, vvnlking out upon the piazza, approach ed a young man leaning against one of the front pillars. Olr. Watson, your bill, I see. is in ar rears one week over the settlement-day. Why is it?' The young man flushed at first as if in anger j then a smile overspread his hand some face. '1 know I ara a delinquent' Major Snow, but I snn't pay at present.' 'Do you expect money soon V 'Well, really, I don't know who should send me anything from their surfeit of cash.' 'Thea I am to understand that you are not only unable to pay, but do not expect to bo able.' 'Undoubtedly, JIajor.' 'Sorry, Watson, for you have been a fa vorite of the season, and I don't like to turn you out before the break-up. Nor will I. If you can civo up your suit of rooms and take up with ono suited to your circum stances, I will let ynu remain the season out, trusting you to pay nie in the future.' 'You are very good, .M ajor, and I guess I'll have to conseLt.' So tho baggrtgc cf Robert Watson was lifed and homo from the elegant suit on the second floor to a little seven by four teen room on the fifth floor. How quickly it became known that the change hud Leon made ! Every servant in the house betrayed the knowledge in the ubseuco of the ueual deference paid to the possessors of 'parlors.' At dinner, tho 'boy who had been oaly too eagar lo anticipate Mr. Watson's wants, suddenly became ob livious to thofe wants, and ouly aoswered them after repeated orders. The cashier and register clerk, always so obsequious, grew dignified and iudilferent. Only the urbane Major preserved a kindly greeting for the guest too poor to pay his bill, and remaining by sufferance, 'Queer,' thought the hotel proprietor. 'Ho certainly had money enough when he came, for he deposited a cool five thousand in the safe. He hasn't beer, fast, I am cer tain, and his bloods have rather played off from him. But he has been a favorite. Not a belle in the room "but would have drop ped her best friend for his attendance. Hang me if I can understand it.' Watson, hailing from Baltimore, had been,a season euest at the Cascade Friends he had in plenty. Ho was courteous, well- bred, good-lookiug, intelligent, and, appar ently, rich what moro could bo asked ? Among the ladies he had moved quite a priuce j and many were the gossamer webs woven as toils to captur him, but to all he proved a very incorrigible recusant he wonld cot be any one's prizs. Tho exquis ite charm of voice, manner, and sentiment, the beauty of person, the elegance of attire all were agreeable to him, deeply so, for he seemed to enjoy them ell immensely ; but not the brilliant poetess, Miss Mount joy, nor the coy and artless Mies Duiuaiu, Dor the rattle-headed young Miss Lambert, nor the haughty, elegant, and exclusive Miss Percy, nor the very rich Miss Orc manes, appeared to command him. He was to all alike, the agreeable companion, the candid friend, the shrewd resistant of all arts to lead him into love's labyrinthine mazes. How would all these beauties of the salon received the announcement sure to be made of his 'altered circumstances,' as the Major expressed it 1 Evidently Mr. Watson was net indiffer ent. He still frequented the piazzas and parlors, giving every friend, male or female, ample opportunity to 'cut' his acquaintance, or otherwise to express themselves. Ic was somewhat curious to note the progress of his decline, not his fall, for Watson had that in his character construction which, even in poverty and trial, would preserve him from a sacrifice of personal dignity and self-relianoe. But that he wafe on the de cline became to him a sorrowful fact Sorrowful, did we say ? That is, judging by the usual standards of human felicity oi misery. To lose one's friends, to behold jour position in sooiety gradually slip-ring away, to realize that no longer you are held I in fionvotpd rnnaiilnr-ilinn Viv n olinenn four is, ordinarily, a source of sorrow. But in Watson's ca?e"it was difficult to determine how keenly the knife cut to the quick of his sensibjlitics; lor, while every acquain tance was giving full facilities for doing the disagreeable office of giving the 'cold shoulder,' the Baltimorcan appeared like an interested spectator, and was as unmoved, when passed by a supposed friend without the slightest notice, as if he were a news paper reporter, anxious to see the act and to note the fact. Into the parlors during the evening he particularly pressed his way. If a, bevy of gay fellows surrounded Miss Mountjoy, he worked his way to tho circle, aud, nt last, received from that lady of Sappho-like lips his discharge. She did must gracefully and crushingly turn her back upon him not. three days after his removal fioni the second- floor. Miss Dumain he sought, confident that one so artless certainly would be above the hollow-hearted crowd, and still give him her kindly greeting. Vain conception 1 The artless girl was coy indeed : and when at length he cornered her, it was to his dis comfiture. She suddenly turned and forced her way past him, without even one of her downcast glances. the contrary, her eyes were fixed fully on his face, and plain ly said. 'Sir. we are .strangers.' Next l.e tried rattle-headed Miss Lam bert, and she rattled on quite as usual ; btt, Watson soon discovered that the rattle was not H'r him. Strangely enough, the proud and exclu sive Miss Percy unbent somewhat from her ofty carriage, ami give him a welcome; but over it all was a shadnw a fear, ap parently, which made Miss Percy shy rather than haughty ; and Watson began to catch glimpnes of a character beneath all that con ventional veil which he had not expected to End. Of course the wealthy Mi.-s Otomancs would scorn his further fr'ufhdly telations. Her rooms were ticar his uvu second-floor apartments ; she daily, all tlio season, bad encountered him m his walks through the long currldor, and must h ive been one of the fiist to learn of his fallen fortunes. In deed, he half surmised that h'.T dressing maid had made speeial inquire into his case, seeing her in confidential confab with the floor-stewardess aud room-girls. So Watson, with a reserve or pride n jt entertained with others, kept npart from Mis Oromanes. Ou the third evening of his changed for tunes, when tho Sappho of the Cascades annihilated him, greatly to the pleasure of the young 'bloods' around her, Watson rcun dcredawayat length upon the piazzas; then up through the long, deserted halls, restless, thoughtful, digesting the notes which he bad boon tatiug of huaian nature, and trying to fix the relative value of a man without money. It was the crystalline truth he was learning not the truth in mere so. lution, sometimes clear, sometimes opaque, but always thin, but the precipitated, bard angular, clear-cut crystals of experience, mined iu unexpected places. Had he re mained upon the second-floor, never would he have obtained the gems ; tho mere so lution only would have repaid his keeoest search. But that initiation to tho upper spaces had given him a wonderful lens; his Lorizoo was so immeasurably extended that, barring tho fact that his bill was unpaid, he was the happier, because wiser for the up ward reverse. Suddenly, in his solitary promenade, he confronted the heiress. Sle was walking arm in arm with young Evans, of her 'set,' iu confidential communication it would ap pear, else why should they havo been in that loDg hall alone? asked Watson, as, with a glance, he took iu the situation. The meeting was a surprise to both parties, and the inclination of both men was to pass without recognition. Evans, indeed, frown ed ; Watson flushed in anger, and with head erect bore down and passed his ene mies, like a suspended or cashiered officer of the line, conscious of his soldierly quali ties, but equally cousvious of his 'altered circumstances.' Too high he held his head, in fuct, for he caught no soft glance from tho lady's eye, and tread so Grmly upon the trail of her elegant evening dress as to cause a per ceptible cracking of seames at the skirt pleats. Evans turned with a sudden an-1 ger- Dolt !' he hissed. Watson passed on, staying to make uo apology, but he beard the lady say : 'Fie, it is nothing;' and be was conscioifs, too, that she was looking at bita wender iugly. . An hour later Watson was down on the piazzas again, evidently on tho quest for some person, and he found his man ere long. Evans was tho gentleman wanted. Go" ing up to him Watson said : 'Mr. Evans, what was tho word you used at tho time I trod on the trail of Miss Oro mancs's dress ?' 'I said dolt, sirl and I say 5t again. We have hitherto supposed you to be a gentleman, and now W9 learn that you can nut pay your bills ;' nnd he laughed, half in scorn and half m humor of the fact so opportunely giviug him to crush another. The hot blood flew to Watson's face ; his hands wore clnnched as if to strike ; but by a strong effort, ho mustered his pas sion. 'Evans, no gentleman ever would have uttered that sentence. Only a coward would fling another's poverty in his face. Miss Oromanes, educated as she has been to givu virtue to wealth, might find in my inability to pay my hotel bill a justification for drop ping my acquaintance ; but I doubt if ever she would havo countenanced incivility. I owe her an apology for my seeming rude ness, and will give it to her, but you I hold iu two supreme contempt even to exchange more words with you. Hereafter do not speak to me, for if you do I shall slap your face, even in tho prtscneo of tho ladies.' And the speaker went his way to his attic mom. This Fecno, overboard by several gcntle nian and ladies, soon v us tho talk of the rooms. Evans, bcit.g a recognized leader of a very aristocrat ic circle, soon convened others oi the set; and Major Snow was, ere long, summoned to be informed that ke must 'clear out Watson' Evans offering to pay his bill. And the news flow t'irouhout the parlors and promenades that Major Snow was to give Mr. Itobcrt Watson, of Baltimore, his walking papers in the morning. An observer of the scene between the two gentleman cn the piazza was Miss Oro manes. Having at once retired to her room to repair the accident to her skirt, tho lady douued another dress, nnd to enjoy half an hour undislured, tole out upon the pleasant open weather promenade. She thus was a witness of what transpired. She, too, re tired, in evident excitement, to her rooms ; and when her maid, half an hour later, brought tho house-news that the Major was to clear Watson out in tho morning, the hcircs, with perfect deliberation, but with brightened color iu her cheeks, and a clear spraklo in her beautiful eyes, gat down to her desk aud indited the following note : "Major Snow will pleaso take no action in the matter of the difference between Mr. Watson and Mr. Evans. I overheard every word that passed between the gentlemen, and I fully justify Mr. Watson. Were it not an insult to him, I would offer to be come responsible for any amount which be may not now be abloto pay ; but I hnow that he is a thorough gentle, nan, and would equally scorn to wrong you or to leave your house at the dictation of others. 1 am. sir, yours. 'Helen Oudmases." This the maid was instructed to place in Major's hands at once. Tho maid had not far to go, for she met the proprietor advanc. ing up the stairway. He glanced at the bil let pnd laughed ; then paused and said : 'No uso of my trip up five pairs of stairs. Mr. Robert Watson has tho freedom of of this housb for tho next fivo seasons.' And down stairs he went again, while tho opened-eared maid, having lost not a word, returned to her mistress to fiud her penning another note. This was written with grrat caro and ninny pauses. It wus finally finished and read as follows : ''Mr. Watson will please excuse the bold ness of this note ; but, having been a wit ness to the meetiug between yourself aud Mr. Evans on the piazza, I feel it incum bent on me to say that I fully justify your proceeding aud your words. I ask no apology from you. Indeed, 1 will be pained to receive it. Believe uie, I am exceedly pained at tho inference you have drawn, uamely : that I could find a justifica tion iu dropping your aoquaiutaoee in the luct of your temporary embarrassment. Alas for my riches, it they compel mo to bear such imputations ou my souse and mo tives ! "1 am, bir, yours very siiieerely, IIellen Oromanes." This missive the maid bore to the fifth story It touud the romautio llobcrt in bed ; the latter was flung iu over the dour ventilator. "A Utter for Monsieur Watsou from my lady,' said a voice at the door ; and Watson sprang up as the envelope floated down to his feet. "A note from my lady ! What ou earth did that moan ? Another rumpus brewiug, of courso ! Turning ou'the gas b read aslouishud, pleased, de!!ghiod, gi the rich color mounting to his temples testified. And then, foolish man, he kis sed the note 1 So very preposterous for one oi til cir cumstances I Many were the guests who "turned out" fully two hours before their usual ten o'clock breakfast the next morn'ng, in order toseo Mr. Kobert Watson depart. To their sur prise there was Watson, cheerful and con tent, promenading up and down the Piazza, arm in arm with Miss Oromanes, and Maj. Snow looking on admiringly. T- Evans and his set it was a declaration of war: but who would dare take up arms against the spirited heiress to a million ? They all re tired, resolved to let events take their course. And they did tako their course, of count In three days' time a magnificent equip age drove to tho stand, and Watson soon appeatad with the beautiful Miss Oromanes lor his companiou in tho morning drive. "Whoso equipage is that?" demanded Evans ot the Major, who had escorted his guests to the carriage. "Oh, that's Watson's, to bo sure !"was tbo reply. "Watson's be hanged 1 Say, Major, has ho payed his bill ?" asked Evans, ma liciously. 'Paid bis bill ? Lord bless you, he is rich enough to buy out this whole coucern, and to hire you and me for call boyg I" "Explain yourself, then, sir 1" demanded Evans irately.. 'Did you not inform tho guests that ho could not pay his bill, and that, you had sent hitn up stairs out of hia seouud-floor suit?' 'Not I ! Soma of the clerks may have said something, to which others added more ; but I really thought too much of the gentleman to mention the matter to any one. Now it turns out that it was all a little gamo of hiswn.' 'Little game ? What object could ho have had in playing such hide and seek?' demanded Evans again, in tones premp tory. 'Well in part I suppose, to test the val ue of friendship in general, and the power of money in particular both of which I have no doubt he has dooo to his entire satisfaction. Ha-ha-ha! What did vou think about it Mr. Evans?' 'Think about it ? Why, that it was it was 'What?' 'Why, a very artful dodgenothing less." 'Capital dodge, that's a fact, seeing that, as a poor man, he won Miss Oromanes, and" "Xow, what do you mean ?" fairly shouted Evans in his excitement. Mean? That before 10 o'clock on tho morning of the day when lie was to havo had his walking papers, by your orders, ho was dead in love with tho heiress, and " "And what, sir ?" "And she is dead iu love with hitn !" '-It's false, I know !" cried the man now white in the faco from some inexplicable emotion. 'False, ch ? Going off in that carriage together lo tho preacher's looks like it, don't it?' 'Good Heavens !' Tho Major's conjecture was premature, as he well knew; but the shaft had struck Evans to the heart, and he fairly staggered toascat. Evans bad played a long and deep game to win the heiress. He bad long been her recognized suitor ho had discounted her posessions in his gay life; and the result was he. was dead broke I He left the watering-place that day. A Ceuemosuius Judge.
