THE ROMANCE OF A COUNTING
HOUSE.
CHAPTER 1
lecame about in this way. 1 had married
and was going to make my fortune, and there
fore (having that laudable end in view) left a
good situation In Yorkshire to settle down In
Liverpool as a merchant "on my own ac
count," and commence to make it without de
lay. I had not much capital, and so resolved
to economize at first. In course of time I
imagined the tidy brougham and the: country
house across the Mersey would certainly come;
and one serene September (veiling, many
years ago, I was walking up and down St.
George's landing-staget Intl iii g castles in the
air, wondering whether rents Were high, at
New Brighton, and whether Kate would pre
fer a pony phaeton to a. brougham. lam not
sorry to add that I still reside in a modest
house up Edge hill way, and that I come to
business as Ciesar went to Rome, according
to Joe Miller, "summit diligentia," on the top
of an omnibus. I was waiting for-Mr. Moss
Moses to return to his °Plea in a street hard
by,—eall it Mersey Street,' and for the reason
that Mr. Moss Moses had a fitrnished place to
let which his ail vertit4ement called "two spa-
Cons eountiuga•onmts,' • —goodness knows I

inclined to be sculitnental ; li n t Mr. Moss Mo
ses claimed sty attention, and once more I en
tered his office and found him awaiting me.
110 was a little, g.,,,Ll.l(,mpered Jew, who
spoke decent English ; and who I afterwards
found out, was constantly affirming in season,
nod out of [hut he was no doscontlaPt
or Abraham.
" II illo, _Brunton !" he cried, jumping from
his chair. ".My lad lull me you'd- been ;

He took it and livid it to the. gaslight, look•
ed at the hick, considered it. endways, . and
pondered over it upside down. 'Filen taking
the candle his clerli had brought, held it close
to my face. .
"If you are not disposed to proceed 'to tnisi
efig, I will bid you o f night," said I, great
annoyed at his manner."
" It's him, and it ain't him," he said aloud ;
" Owl never could look a mhh in the face as
this one does. And yet I don't see my way
through the features."
" There is no necessity for you to trouble
yourself about my features!" I exclaimed,
opening the door,—"good night.
Stop, stop, my good sir ! and don't be
offended. It was a mistake. All Isaac's mis
take, upon my honor."
"All a mistake," echoed young Isaac.
Mr. Moss produced a key, and turning to
me with a good-natured smile, said," I'd have
sworn you were Brunton five minutes ago,
but lam sure now that I was wrong. Carl
always swore as !meanie up stairs, and you
haven't. It's Brunton's face all but the eyes,
:mil I'd swe:u• to the eyes any-where. •That •
is, to the twinkle or eat, you know."
And lie unlocked the door and invited , me
within.
Walking to a table on which he had placed
the light, I took IL chair, and produced toy
pocket• book. •
"Before we go lurthcr, Mr. Moss, let us
quite understand cacti other. I hove no wish
to derive any benefit any virtues Mr.
Brunton may possess, and I out going to con
vince yin that I ant what I represent myself
to be. Be good enough to read that letter-"
It was one from a merchant In the north,
Only received that morning, and mentioned
circumstances which were sufficient to settle
any doubts as to my Identity.
Mr. Moss read it, folded it up briskly, and
presented it to me with a bow..
" Sir, I apologize. I confess that up to this
moment I fancied it was Carl; bat what
puzzled me was, that such a surly fellow
should take to larking and playing the fool.
You aro very much like my last tenant, sir,
that is all."
" Very well ; now that matter is settled, let
us look at the rooms," •
The lighted gas showed me a large one and
very barely furnished. There was a large
leather-covered table with a desk on it, four
chairs, an inkstand, and a partially filled
waste-paper basket, and that was all.
"'Rather meagre, Mr. Moss."
" Now, my dear sir, what more could you
want ? Would you like a safe ? I've got one
to spare down stairs and you shall have it,
and a new mat for your feet,—there now,—
I hate haggling."
"Let me see the other room, pleaC"
It was one which a person sitting at the ta
ble would have right opposite to him, and it
had no door. "It u•us a clerk's (Ace," Mr.
Moss said, "and you wanted your eye on such
chaps." I suggested that the principal might
sometimes want privacy, whereupon he said
"he had the door down stairs and it should
be hung at once ir I wished it." But having
no intention of es:gaging a clerk at present I
told him it was of no consequence. •
The room was abont half the Bin of the
outer one, and contained a desk and stool.—
There was a large closet for coals and such-
like matters, and a good 'allowance of dOst
and cobwebs all over.
" have it cleaned up to-morrow," said
Mr. Moss. "It looks beautiful when clean,
and you'll find the desk to be teal Spanish
mahogany."
They would suit me well enough, and I
told Mr. Moss so ; paid him n quarter's rent
in advance, and rose to depart.
" 0, by the way, Mr. Moss, I exclaimed,
a sudden thought striking me ; •' I will send
a man to paint my name on the door, and on
the wall (low', stairs."
" Very good, sir ; I would do it at once If
were you. Carl WUS n loose fish,' and if you
delayed it until you got here you might be an
noyed."
" Ilow so ? What Wati he ?"
"'fake a cigar first, ;Nit.. Harker, you'll lied
no better in Liverpool. Lord ! how . like Ilia
you do look when I don't eve your !"
"And yet I have not been thought to re
semble a loose fish before, Mr. MOOR."
" I didn't mean that. Have you never see,,
an ugly person resemble a very handsome
one ? I have many a time, Well, about
Carl: he was here about two years, and call
me a Jew If I could reckon him up. He used
to come here about noon, and work up to
eight or nine o'clock at night ; but what bus
iness he worked at I could never hind out. I
know he had a big ledger, and two or three
such books; but a big ledger won't make
business any more than a big caapet-bag will,
and.he always carried one. Ile would conic
and smoke a cigar with me now and then ;
but I never came up here during all that time,
and he kept this door locked. . He always
seemed to be expecting a blow did poor Carl,
more like a rat in , a Minter than anything
else, poor beggar ! Well, sir, one morning I
found the key on my mat, and found the place
just as you see it, and have never seen Call
since. One or two queer-looking men have
Inquired about him, and asked if he was com
ing back, and I said most likely he would. and
likely enough he will."
" Not at all an interesting story," I thought,
and I felt inclined to yawn in Mr. Moss's
face ; but I thanked him for his information,
and promised to take posses;iiin in three days,
which I spent in presenting my letters of in
troduction, and making other arrangements
tin• the prosecution of my plans-
At length the eventful day, arrived, and I
stood in my own office, with my name em
blazoned on the door and passage wall. I
was waiting for a friend to cull on me (who,
by the way, had promised to pot me In the
way of doing sonic business that very day),
and felt impatient lie his coming. in conse-
quenee.
The °like was cleen and tidy, and the floors
find been iv ell scrubbed.
Why hadn't they eininied the waste-paper
basket of all that lumber 7
The office-keeper had lighted a lire, and I
took up the basket to perform the operation
myself ; but from some cause or other I plat.
ed it on the table and began idly to born the
scraps one by one-
I had nearly disposed of thorn all when a
scrap attracted toy attention and I rend it.
It was torn so as to leave a few words intact.,
and it ran thus :

Returning late In the evening, I relit the
lire and addressed myself to the writing of two
important letters to be posted at II:30 that
night, in order to be in time for the Cunard
liner, which sailed early in the morning ; and
then It was that the black darkness of the
doorless room opposite to me began to trouble
me most.
It had troubled inn before, but.on this nigh
it troubled me tenfold. From childhood I
have been imaginative, mid knowing this, I
stirred the tire, called myself an ass, and went
on witn •my letter. But not for long. My
eyes wandered to the black darkness of the
doorway, and I began) to ransack my memory
for statistics of men who could tell by some
occult power if any one were hidden in the
room they entered ; and I laughed aloud when
I remembered that I had read of one sensitive
gentleman, who by this same occult sense hat
-found that a surgeon's skeleton was in a close

I own I dislike being In the dark, but I will
do myself the justice to say that I have molt'•
don enough to overcome the dislike.
Therefore I proposed to myself to very quietly
walk into the dark room which troubled me

Ha ! there was a shuffling : noise thereby the

the door, and heard the shuttling noise close to
me, and the next moment a powerful hand was

the cold muzzle of a pistol pressed to my head
I was bound and dragged into the outer office,
thrust into my chair and confronted by two
quiet.looking men', one of whom laid his re
volver on the table, saying at, same time
with an ugly sneer, " So, Brunton, we have
caught you at last."
CHAPTER 11.
The speaker was a mild, intelligent-looking
man gf about thirty-five. In a proper dress
he would have looked like a High-Churchman
Ills companion was evidently a foreigner, and
I imagined a German.

about fifty
years of age, and wore spectacles, and wpm-
fusion of beard and whiskers covered more
than half Ids face. But he had a whining
smile and good teeth, which he often took an
opportunity of showing.
" We have found you at last."
I am thankful to say that I nm not !terrain
when I NY a danger, and I boldly replied—
" My name is Harker and not Brunton ; All..
Moss, the landlord of these premises, has no
ticed my resemblance to his late tenant, and is
satlalled that lam not the sane. Depend
upon it that I shall make you repeat tnis,out
rage."
I tried M Wee to call for help from the street
but the pistol was cooked and pointed at me,
and Uteri; was that in the titan' : v ino which
cautioned me against rasimass in my helpless
position. •
" I will sit down," I replied, " and hear
what you have to say ; but if I choose to do
I shall do my best to raise an alarm in spite
of your revolver."
" Veil spoke, Carl," said tho foreigner ;
" Louise always say he a plucky one."
"Now then, Brunton," whispered the
other, " let us have no nonsense. We have
not met before, it is tine, but Louise has so
well described you, that putting another mono
on your door was simply Idiotic. Besides one
of ours luts watched for your return, and we
comMunicated with hint directly we landed.
Go free if you like, bul we trill hare the platrs.'
"Dat's the matter rid us," echoed the Ger
man ; "ve will have the plates," •
"I knows nothing of any plates," I cried,
" nor of Louise, nor of you. All I know k,
that you will see the inside of a prison very
shortly."
And you think you call throw us, throw
us over in this way ! Du you think you dual

"I think I deal with a-burglar. Most cer
tainly with a rascal of sonic atoll or other."
llere my two friends held a whispered con
ference. Then he or the revolver turned
sharply towards inc.
" Will you marry Louise ? Will you give
up the plates, and marry my sister ?.

In spite of my salons positien I was getting
thoroughly'amused. The Mug: doorway held
unknown terrors to my excited imagination ;
lint two commonplace fellows who had made
a mistake only caused a feeling of merriment,
even in spite of the revolver.
•' I am sorry Ircannot oblige you," I replied.
" I Rlll (bittern . by the huly's preference ; but
having one wife already, I fear I must decline

explain what you mean."
The answer to this flippant speech AVM a
blow on the face, which sent the blood stream

"You'll remember insulting the sister of
Louis Orloff! Here, Baron, let us gag him,
and search ; he will be raising an alarm pips.
ently."
They thrust a piece of rope between my
teeth, compressing my windpipe to make me
open my mouth ; and there I sat helpless
whilst Blair turned out the Contents (rimy desk
and drawers, not forgetting my cash-box,
which was opened with a key taken from my
waist-coat pocket, and the contents appropri
ated. Knowing that the two scraps of paper
I had found in the waist-paper basket, and
placed in my drawer, must have reference to
their visit, I watched very anxiously when
they opened it. But they escaped notice, and
I felt that I Lai got some clew to the mystery,
even if these men escaped ; and I had quite
determined that they should not escape, for I
was insecurely bound, and had been working
hard to get my right hand free, and, thanks
to having a very narrow one, I now found
myself able to slip it through the loop which
encircled the wrist; but I "bided my time,"
for I saw that a false move might bring a bul
let through my heed.
" De plates is in cc *der room, Carl Brim

patting my shoulder. "Vy not say? Vy

My other hand was fres now. I tried to
speak, and Implored with toy eyes for Bt. gag

The Baron removed it, and while il4ting so
I resolved on a plan of operations.
" You will marry Louise and kivs us the
plates''"
"I will give you every satisfaction."
" That is business," said Louis Orloff, cent-
forward. " First the plates. Then you re-
turn with us to New York, and keep your
promise to Louise. Why give us this trou

" Look in the closet in the next mond; rake

" Good. Come, Baron."
And they left me to operaM on the coals.
Springing up, I seized the revolver, darted 40

fOr Orloff was on the other side like lightning,

Then I knew that Bib depended on the

and a dexterous feint threw Inc off my guard,

then all earthly thlngs seemed to be fading
away, and a workilkheyoud opening to view.
When I recoveaed, I found myself laid on
a mattress on the office table, aad my Wife
tearfully bending over me. There was a
calni-faced surgeon, too, who showed me • the
bull he had extracted, and told ate to cheer
up, for I should be better hi a few days, for
no damage was done. Mr. Moss was there,
ton, and came to my bed—l mean my Wits
side, and whispered how he had been called
up by the police,who, hearing a pistol shot,
had come up stairs, and arrested Orloff and
the Baron, and, finding me on the ground
bleeding, had sent for a surgeon and my wile,

I was only faint from loss of blood ; the

the one which seemed to be a plan, then
looking around, said—
" This is a plan of your office."
"Call me a Jew If It ain't I" exclaimed Mr.
Moss, taking it.
" Yes, it is certainly a plan of your office.
See, here is a doorway, and there comes the
other room. Then there is a cress against
the fireplace in this room, on what I judge
from the lines to mean the fourth board from
the hearthstone, and another cross against the
sixth from the hearthstone in the other room.
Get:a crowbar, Mr. Moss." '
"There's one down stairs."
I do believe that if you'd asked for a croco
dile he would have got one " down stairs."
Crowbar and a policeman to wield it "were
soon produced, and then the mystery was
u'i ravelled.
Close to when I sat were unearthed several
copper plates for the forging of Russian rouble
notes.of various amounts ; and in the back
room, under the flooring, were found several
hundreds of well.executed forgeries carefully
soldered up In a tin case, together with cor
respondence implicating Orloff and the Baron.
It appeared that Brunton was engaged by a
New York gang to engrave the plates, and
that lw had never seen his employers, the
agent between them being the Louise before
mentioned, whose fair hand I had item cont.
indica It) decline. Brunton had evidently be
xonte- frightened and had fled. lie was no
traitor, or he would have decamped with the
plates. Perhaps the dread of having to espouse
Louise may have had to do with his flight.
She was it very handsome woman, it I may
judge from a photograph of her found in the
tin case, but hooked like one accustomed to
rule, and who would not hesitate to adminis-
ter wholesoine'correetion to hee spouse
Assisted into a carriage which was waiting,
I had Ilw satisfaction of seeing the Baron and
Orlotr brought down in handeulTs,"the Baron
reganding me with a sweet smile, and oriotr
scowlin g on me like a fiend. I did not prose
cute, for they were so well known to the police
as lOrgetin, that there was evidence enough ,to
proenre it conviction and a sentence of ten
, years' penal servitude ; and in due time I re-
covered, and dismissed the matter from my
mind.
But 1 had not heard the last of it. About.
twelve months after the trial and condemna
tion of the Baron and his friend there came
one night a timid knock at my office door, and
my clerk (for I had such n. luxury then)
ushered in what, at fleet sight, seemed to be a
moving bundle of rags. Strictly speaking,
tic bundle of rags insisted on seeing me, and
ushered itself in, spite of all remonstrances.
It Caine and stood before me, and resolved
itself into the resemblance of a man,—a man
lean, haggard, sunken.eyed, ragged, and
dirty, but with a face something like my own;
and without putting aquestion, I knew that I
stood face to face with Carl Brunton, and I
addressed the rags by that name.
" I took that name," the poor, shivering
thing replied, " but my name is—but no mat
ter. May I speak to you ?"
" Yes, go 0n. ,,
" Will you give me some drink first? 1
have hod none to-day, and I feel delirious
tremens coming on. 0, hole• cold it is, and
how I shiver l"
I sent the clerk for some brandy, which he
took raw, and his shaking hand held out 11:0
glass for more.
wuktgine It is ➢lr. Moss you want to see,
is it not'? If so, you will find him to•mor
ruw, at ten o'clock."
" No, no, you, you I want—l—l. tun very
poor, very poor. Will you give me six
pence ?"
I gave !dm half derown.
"NOW What can I do for you ?"
1-1 hit some property here when I went
away. You don't rolbse to give it up?
seem poor, but I ant rich--ah ! so rich I—and
1 will pay pm well."
" You mean the forged rouble-poles and
the plate you engraved them front ?"
"Ah ! Who told you that ? Then you
havil found them, and used them? ran
away from thin, and wished to lead a better
life, but they drew me back ; and now you
have robbed me, and I shall starve."
I explained to the poor wretch what had
become of his possessions, and kow they were
found, and inquired if he had not heard ante
fate of I,is accomplices.
"No : 1 Iluve been wanddring about the
country, living in hospibils and workhouses
because they haunt me down from place to
place. They will kill me as they killed the
Posen Jew and the engraver at Stockholm,
They are dogging Inc to-night—one of them
is outside dow. Let me see, irlutt did I come
here for ? 0, sixpence. Lend me sixpence;
I'll give you it hundred pounds, for it to•mor
.
I made a further donation, and, as the man
was evidently in a suite or delirium, I told my
clerk to fetch a medical man. But before he
could execute the order, the bundle of" ragii
crept down the narrow stairs, sitting on each
step, and wriggling by aid of his hands to the
next below, whilst we, unable to pass hint,
looked on wondering how it would nil entl.
The street gained, he stood upright, and,
casting a terrified glance around, fled away
into the darkness, and we following In the di
rection he had taken, learned shortly
,after-
wards thatat Lugger lin4thrown himself Into
the Mersey from St. Gebrge's landingl!tage,
and had sunk to rise no more.
His body was never found, and I, having
had enough of Mersey Street, moved
quarters, vouch to the regret of Mr. Moss, for,
(tooth he, " Two of 'em are at Portland, and
another at the bottom of the river ; so you
may call me a Jew if any one troubles you
again."
But 1 went ; and the office is still without a
tenant, and I shudder when I pass through
the street at night, and, looking up, see the
two black shining windows like two great eyes
watching me, and fancy I can see a shadowy
form in rags, pressing its face to the glass, and
gibbering and moving at the busy stream of
human life which surges to and fro forever.
A WALL STREIIIT SENSATION
EDWAY D 11. RETOUCH iw A NEW ROLE;
The Herald says
The summer monotony of the Stock Es
change was relieved yesterday by a fresh sen
sation of an old actor in the Scene. At the
beginning of business a broker, acting as the
agent of Edward B. Ketchum, announced his
inability to fulfill his contracts—the formal way
or stating that he had failed. Subsequent in
vestigation allowed that Young Ketchum since
_his return to the street has been agalit specula
ting on a gigantic scale, his operations In gold
and stoelis reaching a total of about ten million
dollars. As a stock speculator lie was this time
successful, and his good luck In this line pro-,
vented disastrous results to his ventures in
gold. As it is, his broker fails fur the compar
atively small amount of only eighty thousand
dollars. The mistake which Young Ketchum
made was in endeavoring to " bull" gold,
which his old experience had led him to think
was always bound to rise. lie made a mis
take which many others made who forget that .
the war is over and that the country is stead

immense cotton crops of the South and the fi

only n natural result of the steady return of the
country to specie payments. -Burman foreign
