THE UNKNOWN GAMBLER.
TRNEST CLIOOIth had been left
heir to wheat little fortune., ' but not
content with , this sum, and being Indis
posed to laber, he commenced to tamper
with the fickle geddess,Fortune. At first
- he
_ventured only, a few dollars, but grow
ing bolder,'he at last 'stood on the very
threshold of ruin. , His friend, Charles
Seymour—who had 'once played heavily,
but having seen the error Of his ways,
reformed—warned him in vain—
begged, remonstrated with' him, but all
to purpose. He would promise to
desist, but the next night was sure to
find him in the same _ place. The night
~- before we introduced him he net with a
• heavy lose. He was not or& fleeced of
all the ready money he had, but l under
the influence of the maddening excite
ment, be pledged his - watch; the last gift
of his dying father—and lost.,
His antagonist was a person unknown
in the saloOn., He was a tall, dark look
'
big man, with' broad. shoulders and long
'hair, which hung in dark masses over his
neck., His features were. nearly covered
with a heavy beard, and he , wore his hat
inauch'a manner, that the upper, portion
of his face Was entirely concealed. Er
" nest thought he had . seen him hefore, but
when„or where; he could not tell. He
bad agreed , to meet him dgain on, the
, '' - .night otir,story opens, and-• was now on
his way to the rendezyous.
.The large ball was brilliantly lighted
lzy:the many lamps that hung from the
. lattily arched ceiling, and on every side
stood ornamental tables. around which
many 'wereplaying, others stood looking
on,' watching the vicisitudes of fortune
that were constantly taking place.'

"Hours passed on, and yet no signs o i

but a very large sum, besides. - t
- "Do you wish to play more ?" asked
the gambler at :length ; "you hive won
your watch,
. together with more than
you lost last night." .‘
, . The young man gazed in the face of
the - speaker, and thought he detected
signs of alarm on his countenance. He
thought he saw in his hesitation the fear
of losing his., gold, and exultingly ex
claimed: ' . •
"If you rear to play longed we will
stop—if not ive will proceed.' • .
"Go on," was the reply; "perh,ps the
luck 'will turn." .
The dark features of the gambler wore
the same, expression of cool, quiet in
difference ; yet a peculiar . change came
over his countenance as he spoke. There
was ,a sly twinkle in his eye—a kind of
half hidden smile that bode no good to
his opponent. The bets were immense,
and every person in the room gathered
round to witness the . result. . For some
time the tide of fortune seemed. to favor
neither ; sometimes Ernest wonat others
his antagonist. ; SoOn, however, it be
gan,to turn in favor of the tatter. The
yonth became ,more and more excited,

The clock struck the hour of -midnight ;
and every dollar Ernest bad brought to

again in the hands of the unknown gam

THETWO LOVE
"We don't take boarders," said Mrs.
Farquhar, looking in an owlish fashion ,
through her spectacle-glasses itt Mr. Stu-
Art Waller. "'We've got: plenty and to
spare without the trouble of 'em. You
will find the, tavern three•quarters of a
mile below. You mtrzt have opine,right
past its, door:"
"So I did," said. Mr. Waller, who poss-,
essed the insinuating,semi•chivalric man-'
ner that made every lady whom he ad-;
dressed feel herself, for the time being{
the only feminine .creature in the nut.:
verse ; "but no amonnt of money *would
hire me to make my :home in u place like
that. Here it, is like a glimpse of Para-
dise,"-looking admirably 'around at the
:shady lawns, the clemantis-hordered
porch, and the rose hedges 411 sprinliled
ovet with pink buds. "I'm sure, nindlim,
you will reconsider your decision and
take me in for a few: days, and I will
promise to be no more . trouble about the
house than a kitten." •
Mrs], Farquhar was but human, and
the upshot of affairs was that,Mr. Wal
ler's trunk arrived the next day.
"Ch, mother I" said Petty Farquhar,
knitting her pretty black eyebrows, "why
did yOu let him in ; and we so peaceful
and comfortable here.?"
"Child, why shoutdn't I?" said ' T the
widow. "Ile's to pap ten dollarti a ve,ek
board, and I haven't any use for the lit
tle threecorriered room over the piglor."
"I don't know, but it seems I feel ex
actly as Eve must have felt when she saw
the serpent writhing his way into para
dise."
"Nonsa sa !"said Widow Farquhar, al
most angrily.
But Patty only laughed,: and ran away
under the shadow of pink buds, to meet
Morris Newton, her affianced lover.
"Little one," said Morris, imprisoning
both her soft, white bands, in Ids, "I've
got bad newsfor you."
"Bad news Morris -?"
"Pve got to go to Colorado next week
to see about those silver mines that one
of my client's has an interest in.
"Oh; dear!" cried Patty; pursing tip
her 'strawberry of a mouth. ;
• "I shall be gone i3tX months."
"Worse and worse," said Patty.
"But if you say 'so, Patity," drawing
her gently to his side, "we can be mar
ried first, and make . a wedding trip of
"qtr. idea I" flashed back Patty, draw
ing herself .out of his embrace ; "and I
withouta dress made !".
"We`,can buy all the dresses afterward."
"That's all's inah knowS about it."._
"You are sure it'd impossible ?" with a
disappointed air. •
"Yes, quite," answered :the little bru-
nette.
' "Then," said Mr. Newton, with a sigh,
"you must be sure 'and write very often,
and be getting your , fol-de.rols , ready to
be married in, as soon as ti come home."
"Yes," - said Patty, gravely, "that is
more reasonable." .
And she went back into the house, ut
terly ignorant that, at the same time, Mr.
Stuart Waller was laying a wager with a
boon companion, ,at . the Easterworth
'Arms, "that he would cut out that con
ceited lawyer in less than four weeks:l
Mr. Waller was piqued by Patty's cool
indifierence, and, uniorfkmately, his were
the "idle hands" for which Satan is said
to find . plenty of mischief to-do.
"She's pretty, alter a fashion," said he
to himself ; "and I mean to make her
dead. in love with me before I'm through."
• Mr. Waller was a man 'of the world.
Patty Farquhar was as young in experi-'
elice as in years. They, were an ill-match
ed pair, and, it - was hardly three weeks
before' the' tongue of gossip began to
him) , itself with the widow's dark-eyed
daughter. - , •
'Mrs; Farquhar came into Patty's room
oneMorniug, and found her crying as if
her; heart would break, and with'in open
letter on her lap.
- "geart alive, child, what is the mat
ter'?" i..,ried,the old lady
"Nothing, Mother—nothing !" and
Patty huriedly wiped her eyes. "Only
I've got a letter from Morris, and it
makes me, so. glad and au, sorry."
"Folks didn't cry over love, letters. when
I was a girl," said Mrs. Farquhar.
But the letter was more to Patty than
the old lady suspected.. Every trusting
word, every caressing adjective was an
envenomed arrow in her heart. r
Potty knew that - almost unconsciously
she had been led into what; seemed to her
an innocent enough flirtation With Stuart
Waller. She had walked with him in the
twilight, and she had'written two letters,
when lie was temporarily absent in New
York—careless, girlish letters, which,
although she had thought no harm at
the time r she would now give worlds to

"they are a great deal to precious to me."

"I never refuse anything -to a . lady;

Patty did-not stay to hear the conclu
pion; but flashed out into the afternoon
sunshine, with 'a huge lump in her throat,
and. a curious sensation as if!all her blood
were turned to fire. •
"What'a fool I have been!". she tho't,
pacing up and - -i s down the tiny graveled
walk like a chained panthaess, and bit
ing her scarlet lip. "Oh,. what an idiotic,
unreasonable, fool! And what :'will be

with a troubled effort of the memory, "in
the wildest moment of my 'infatuation,
I never addressed. him as ( Dear Stuact!
Be that as it may; however, I must, and
get those 'letters back."
Fired with-.this determination; Patty
Farquhar resolved herself at once into a
private defective; searching' Mr. Waller's
room,. and even got a false key to his
trunks and went through their contents,
but all in vain: And, she had the sorry
satisfaction of perceiving, by:Mr. Wall,
er's amused and patronizing air, that be
knew•all about it. .
"I'll have them yet," said Patti.
Miss Farquhar was standing, with clasp
ed hands before the wide-opened"door of
the old-fashioned oven, built by the side
of the kitchen chimney, and extending
a sort of hump-backed excrescence ,out
into the lilac bushes of the back, garden,
