CLINK.,,
I
It WBS a winter night. I was sitting j
over tlie fire at my chambers in the j
Middle Temple, and my friend, Frank
Bowser, was pacing about the room.
"Arthur," said he, stopping suddenly
and tossing a bag of gold toward the j
ceiling, "I shall soon claim the hand of j
Alice Darell now."
Again he pitched the hag of gold into i
the air, and the pieces of money, clink- j
ing together, sent forth a low ringing
sound.
"Bowser," said I, drawing my arm- |
chair closer to the fire, "this is a dan- j
gerous scheme. It will end in disaster.
Take my advice, and don't pursue it
further,"
In the old college days Bowser had
gained a reputation for recklessness,
and he had not changed in character
since. As I expected, his answer was a
laugh.
His inflexibility irritated me, but our
conversation was cut short by a pecu
liar knock, on the arrival of "Scroggie."
My old schoolfellow Scroggie was one
of the strangest characters I ever met.
Nobody knew where he lived, or how.
Nobody saw him in the streets until
after dark, and then he was usually
walking at a (prick pace, with a slouch- j
ing swing about the shoulders which j
distinguished him even in the j
dark streets or in a crowded
thoroughfare. He woro a low felt hat,
and at all times and in all seasons a
thick rough overcoat, buttoned tightly
about his neck, giving him more the
appearance of a sailor than of a lands
man. He had, in fact, since our school
days, passed most, of his time npon the I
sea; at least, so I gathered from his
conversation. For many a night we |
had sat together over the fire in these I
chambers while he recounted to me
the shipwrecks and other perils and |
dangers he had experienced. He had a
quick, bright eye, a red beard, which
he had a habit of sometimes stroking
with his small, nervous hand when he
talked. His hair, thick and curly,
always looked to me as if defying a
brush and comb, and his coat had in
variably that dusty appearance so sug
gestive of the wearer having tramped |
over country roads. Why I had re- j
sumed my acquaintance with this man j
—having met him accidentally in the |
streets some two or three years ago—
and why lat once became as intimate
with him as I had been in our school
days, is a mystery in human nature I
which I will not attempt to solve. He I
was amusing, which may account for a I
good deal, and I had known him at j
school to belong to a good family, j
though I remember his education had |
been much neglected. It was of little
consequence to me that he was peculiar 1
in his dress and manner, for we never j
met, except on rare occasions, in any I
other place than my chambers.
"Now, Bowser," said I, when 1 mixed
a glass of whiskey far Scroggie, and
had resumed my seat by the fire—"Now.
Bowser, put that bag of gold into your
pocket and listen to me. lam going to [
explain your scheme to Scroggie, and
show him how very unsatisfactory I j
consider your conduct. Now, Bowser, J
for goodness' sake, sit down."
Bowser bestowed upon me a half
amused, half-impatient glance, and. !
giving his bag a parting toss, dropped j
it into his pocket, and sat down away |
from the fire, in the shade, beyond the j
reading-lamp, and with his arms folded |
on the table. He was a large, powerful I
man, and I remember thinking how j
gigantic his shoulders looked in that j
semi-darkness, as he leaned forward to j
listen.
"The facts of the case," said I, "the j
facts of the case are somewhat as fol- j
lows. My learned friend has fallen in j
love, if lam not mistaken "
Bowser nodded.
"Has fallen in love with a young lady j
named Darell " I thought Scroggie |
had spoken. He had started and mut
tered something beyond doubt when 1 J
mentioned the name of Darell.
"Nothing," said Scroggie, returning j
with a quick glance the inquiring look |
which I gave him.
"And moreover," I then resumed, "if J
lam not mistaken, my learned friend j
and Miss Darell are engaged."
Again Bowser nodded.
"But," I Haid—"but there is a clause
in the engagement. Miss Darell has j
lost her father, who met his death nil- j
der circumstances of a very painful
nature, fn a word, Miss Darell's father i
was murdered."
At this moment I happened to lie j
looking straight at Scroggie, and a dark
shadow seemed to gather over his face.
The expression startled me and van
ished.
"Stay!" said Bowser an I was about
to continue. ' Let mo toll the story as
I heard it from Alice Daroll."
I said, "By all means;" and leaning j
back in my chair I waited for Bowser |
to proceed.
"Miss Darell's father," said Frank I
Bowser, "was chief cashier at a bank
in a large market town in the north of
England. Ho lived on the premises, 1
and his daughter Alice lived with him.
His position was an arduous one. He j
was froqnently engage. I over the cash, I
OT in examining the ledgers, until late
into the night; especially on evenings
preceding market days. It was part of
his duty to weigh, or count over and j
check ofT in the bullion book, the var- i
ions bags of gold, large and small, bo- j
fore they were handed over or distrib- 1
utod among the cashiers. And so, I
night after night, the chink of gold
might be beard **ou rooiJl . be-
yond the back j.ai-lor; for night after
night Mr. Darell sat there weighing the
gold in the scales, or counting it, or
shoveling it into the bags—clink, clink,
clink."
Here Bowser paused, and, taking his
own bag of gold out of his pockot,
placed it on the table before him.
Srroggio was sitting in an attentive
attitude; but his eyes were never raised
from the tire; and a worn look, which
I had not observed at first, had settled
upon his face. Bowser moved nearer
toward us, coming within the circle of
light under the lamp, and, emptying
out of his bag a quantity of bright
sovereigns, he continued in an impres
sive voice:
"One night," he told ns—"one night,
between eleven and twelve o'elock, the
cashier is seated in the iron room under
a shaded lamp—as 1 am seated now
weighing the gold as usual and filling
the bags, one after another, entering
them in the bullion-book, tying them
up, and casting them aside. He is
deeply engrossed in his occupation. Is
ho thinking—this honest, industrious
cashier—is he thinking, as he looks
upon this glitter and listens to the
clinking and ringing of this gold, what
a hatoful thing money is? Or—who
shall say?—who shall say but that—
with a desire for his daughter's happi
ness passing through his mind—who
shall say but that, for her sake, he is
wishing that the sovereigns were his
| own ? He is working, working now,
solely for her, and if lie is dreaming of
riches, what more natural on earth ?
But, whatever his thoughts may be, ho
is so absorbed that he hears no cat-like
footstep moving steulthily toward the
spot where he weighs the gold—clink,
clink, clink—ho sees no shadow cross
the light in the outer room, within
a short distanco of where ho stands; he
hears nothing, observes nothing, until
an arm is uplifted swiftly behind him,
and a stilled cry escapes him—no time
for more. Ho falls, beaten and crushed
by a heavy blow. What's happened?
A murder! committed in the dead of
night."
"WHAT'S HAPPENED? A MURDER!"
When Bowser had uttered these words
there was a silence between us for some
minutes; Seroggie was the first even to
move in his chair. I had refilled his
glass during the last pause in the narra
tive, and he now stretched out his hand
hastily and lifted the tumbler to his lips
and d&mkit off as if it were water. His
hand shook violently as he placed the
empty glass on the mantelshelf. 1 had
often seen his hand tremble; indeed it
was seldom quite steady; but he had
never exhibited excessive nervousness
before.
"Well," said he, without looking
round.
"There is not much more to tell,"
said Bowser. "It was evidently a col
lusion between the bank porter and a
sailor—or at least a man that looked
very like one—seen loitering about, in
the neighborhood of a public house, on
the night previous to the one 011 which
this tragedy occurred. The porter was
arrested, tried, and sentenced to penal
servitude for life."
"And the sailor?" said Scroggie.
"Escaped. He mudo off with bags
containing a large sum of gold, and he
has never been heard of since."
With these words Bowser rose from
his seat and began to pace up and down
the room, playing with his bag of gold
in an excited manner.
"Yes," said he. presently, "the mur
derer escaped. But 1 have sworn to
solve this mystery as to who is the mur
derer of her father Itefore I marry Alice
Darell. That is the clause in our engage
ment. If the villain IH alive I will
ferret him out, hunt him down, and
bring him to justice. For I love Alice
Darell more than my life, and for her I
would run any risk. Mr. Darell was
my friend. I honored him as much as
if* ho had been my own father.''
lie stopped, glanced around the room
with a savage energy expressod in his
Pace, and then, Hinging up the bag of
soverigns defiantly, he cried: "But the
clink of gold will Home day awaken the
evil conscience! The man who has
committed this crime will betray him
self at last. His guilt will be branded
on his face, like an ugly scar, when he
hears the sound—clink, clink, clink!
There is no escape. The conscience is
stronger than the man!"
Again Bowser tossed up the bag of
gold, and paced the room, more excited
than ever.
"My dear Bowser,' I exclaimed, "for
heaven's sake be rational! To visit, as
you do, the lowest haunts in London,
to mix among savages—for some of
these men in the East End are noth
ing better —is to expose your
self to real dangers. These sailors know
the sound of gold only too well. Soino
night you will, I again warn you, be
robbed and murdered. And that," I
added, "that will scarcely be agreeable
news for me to carry to Alice Darell.
Once more lot me seriously advise you
to ulwndon thiH scheme. And Scroggi","
I added-—'"Scroggie will, 1 know, up I
Iort me in my appeal."
"Abandon it?" said Bowser, as he
walked toward the door. "Why, I've
already taken two or three sharp detec
tives into my confidence. Good night 1
I'm going to meet one now."
As lie went down the passage I heard
the clink, clink of lis hag of gold; and
it seemed expressive of his contempt for
my opinion; and when he had slammed
the outer door of the chambers and bis
footsteps on tlio staircase bad died
away, the sound was still ringing in
my ears.
11.
No sooner had Frank Bowser gone
than Scroggie's whole manner changed.
His face grew cheerful, and his voice
again sounded natural and pleasing.
"Does Bowser entertain you in this
! musical style every night ?" said Scrog-
I gio, with a laugh.
"Yes," said I, stirring the tiro into a
j blaze. "It's a habit which seems to have
I become a necessary part of his existence.
As you or 1 may derive pleasure, for ex
j ample, from a quaint thought, so Bow
! ser derives pleasure from the sound of
, gold. In fact, he fancies that he does
i not deserve to gain Alice DareH's whole
| heart until he has succeeded in cleaving
; up the mystery as to who murdered her
father. It is a strange mistake. 1 know
j Miss Darell well, and, ultliougli 1 have
never mentioned this subject to her, I
I am convinced that she would he the
| first to dissuade him. Indeed. I have
j no doubt she has done so already, if she
i knows anything about his scheme."
"Frank Bowser is mad," said Scrog
gie.
"To-morrow evening," said I, "Miss
Pilkington—an aunt with whom Miss
Darell is living—expects me to afternoon
tea. I shall go early, and, before Bow
ser arrives, try to learn what they know
i about the matter. I shudder when I
think what may happen."
i "Then don't think," said Scroggie,
"Let i s change the subj >ct."
I "You're right," said I, rising from
j my seat and standing with my back to
the fine, and looking round the room.
"You're right. Change the subj et.'
Scroggie had also risen and had
glanced at the sideboard, and then at
the bookcase.
"Field," said he at last, without
changing his attitude—"Field, old fel
low, for more than two years 1 have
been living in London, and almost on
my arrival 1 began to receive hospitality
from you. You gave me a hearty wel
come when we met, and ever since 1
• have been 'dropping' in hero, and, lam
afraid, wasting valuable time."
I assured him—how could I do other
wise?—that he had never wasted an
hour.
"Well," said ho, doubtfully, "I hope
not. However, it will end to-night. I'm
going to travel."
j 1 expressed astonishment, though
nothing could have surprised me less.
"Yes, I am going to travel,'' he re
peated; "and although it was my inten
tion to have started, without mention
ing the matter even to yon, somehow,
alter all your kindness, 1 thought per
haps if 1 did, it might have created a
wrong impression. 1 wished to thank—
j I wished to—to Yes. I'm going to
| travel."
"America?" I suggested.
I "That depends," he replied, quickly—
'that depends on circumstances. I'm
waiting for a—for instructions. Anv-
I how," lie added, "I'm going to travel."
Now that he had relieved his mind of
the confession, ho began to grow
drowsy, and frequently nodded at the
fire, as though he were bidding it adieu.
But as soon as he fell into a doze, ho
would get a start, and gaze about him
with a frightened look in his eyes; then,
as soon as he caught a glimpse of mo,
quietly smoking my pipe, ho would
smile, mutter "All right," and go off
into another doze.
"You're tired," said I, at a moment
when I thought he appeared to ho look
ing in my direction.
j "I'm going," was his reply, shutting
his eyes and again nodding at the fire,
I "to travel."
"Not to-night?"
j lie started up suddenly, with a cry
1 upon his lips.
"What V"
I 'Tasked you if yon were tired,'
raid I.
"Tired? No, Was I dreaming?"
"Yes," said 1. "Won't you liedown?"
"Well," he answered, looking toward
the sofa sleepily, "if you've no objec
tion. Yes, I think I will for live min
utes, I shall bo all right in fivo min
utes. Eli ?"
He always said "five minutes," hut
his sleep usually lasted over the night,
and often far into the day that followed.
JIo pulled off his coat, threw my rug
over his shoulders, and lay down.
"I say, Field, old fellow," said ho in
a scarcely audible tone as he turned his
weary face to the wall, "what a hospi
table—old chap—you are. I say—dear
boy—l'm—going—to—trav "
Then 1 heard his heavy breathing,
and knew that he was fast asleep.
[ How long I nat in my arm-chair, be
fore the fire, after Soroggio had fallen
asleep Ido not know; but hours must
have passed before the incident occurred
which lam now about to relate. I felt
no inclination to retire to l>ed; and in
this wakeful mood many strango fan
cies took possession of me; and the most
strange of them all was that a sound
like the clink of gold was ringing in my
brain. I could not dismiss it; it kept
my thoughts constantly fixed up.,u
Frank Bowser, until I became abso
lutely haunted by scenes in which 1
imagined that he formed a central
figure; scenes on the docks; in noisy
taverns and dark streets, where men
lurked about with villainous looks, until
at last the river and its mysteries rose
up before me and I became troubled
i with a presentiment that some harm
had befallen my friend; for when the
sound of a footstep echoed in the court
below my windows or a heavy tread on
tbe staircase outside reached my ear, 1
feared it was a messenger who had
come to confirm what was passing in
my mind.
In this nervous, dreamy condition niy
thoughts became wo completely sepa
rated from my immediate surroundings
that when, with a suddenness that ap
palled me, the dead silence of the night
was disturbed by a prolonged and
dreadful shout, my heart Boemsd to
have ceased to beat and my limbs to
he paralyzed with terror. The impulse
was strong within me to spring to my
feet, lint although my brain vas re
markably active, strange to say my
body was dead to all sense of volition.
Yet, ulthough I could not move my
head, objects which passed within the
limits of my vision were not even
clouded, but distinctly defined; and
there I saw, with the pale and haggard
face of one who is haunted, my old
school-fellow Scroggie. His eyes woro
wide open, and seemed to express an
irresistible fascination for some beckon
ing spirit. Presently he spoke in whis
pers, as though addressing this phan
tom of bis brain, but in a voice so low
that not a word reached my ear. At
last he looked about as though the
shadow had vanished; though his
breath fell more quickly from
; his lips, and his right arm now
' stiffened from the shoulder, and
I ho grasped, in fancy, some heavy
1 weapon which lie was handling with a
look of dogged energy and resolution;
1 his face hail changed into the expres
j don of a demon, dark as night; and he
i seemed to be groping his way, as if
blind, and stopping in a listening atti
j tndo, and then groping on again; but
! with one over-mastering purpose.
I Suddenly he raised his arm, and. with
his imaginary weapon, aimed at the air
| a blow so full of concentrated force
i that ho staggered under it, uttered a
low cry, and fell heavily to the ground.
Then, and only then, the power to
move came back to me, and 1 sprang to
| his assistance. He was lying on his
back, gasping; he had become as black
in the face as if he had been trans-
I formed into a veritable demon. With
! great difficulty I succeeded in loosening
his collar; each moment, it seemed to
I me, must he his last.
J raised him from the floor and placed
him on the sofa, and slowly signs of
consciousness returned. After staring
around the room in a strange, be
wildered fashion, his eyes settled upon
my face.
"Are you all right now?"
lie put his hand to his forehead, and j
a look of pain passed over his face such
as I shall never forget.
"All right," said he, "all right, it
was only a dream."
Then he again turned his weary face
toward the wall, muttering, "only a
dream;" and then he again ft 11 asleep.
At this moment the flame of the read
ing lamp fluttered, like a heart, and ex
pired, and 1 was left in darkness. The
fire had burned out, and the midnight
air had a ghostly chill in it as it touched
my cheek; and my pulse, beating
loudly, sounded in my ear like ghostly
whisperings that seemed to warn me
that 1 was alone in my chambers with
tie. man who had murdered the father
of Alice Darell.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Matter* of a Local Nature Written Up
anil Placed lief ore the Header* of the
••Tribune" by tlic Saunterer Something
Here 111 ay Interest You.
The men or set of men who
will undertake to deceive and
blindfold the citizens of the
present day by political trick
ery will find that in most cases
they have been caught in the
act long before the ''job" was
half completed. The people
can't be hoodwinked with such
perfect ease and effrontery
now as they were in the past,
for things, politically, are not
the same as they were several
years ago. Then, right or
wrong, the dominant party
was usually sucessful, but now
the majority party is just as
apt to suffer defeat as the
minority, and it is owing to
this that the bosses, or assum
ed bosses, cannot count upon
anything in absolute safety,
because their orders are sim
ply scoffed at by the voters in
general.
In this district, the fourth,
there is probably more free
dom of opinion exercised by
its citizens when casting their
ballots than in any other dis
trict in the state. A man's
record and reputation for hon
esty or dishonesty, deceit or
hypocrisy, is a vital point and
one that is always given the
utmost attention by the voters,
and it is this independence
that knocks all the calcula
tions of the bosses' petty trick
ery silly. I must admit, how
ever, that the bosses still give
evidence of activity in the
county on both sides, but it
seems to prevail to a greater
extent among the Democrats,
as was shown by a convention
held at Hazleton a week ago
last Saturday.
This convention was called
by authority of the chairman
and secretary of the fourth
legislative committee, and al
though the time and place was
proper and legal, it was noth
ing more or less than a conven
tion of applicants for the Haz
leton postoffice—held under
the guise of a Democratic con
vention. It has been a matter
of much wonder why that lu
crative office has been left va
cant since Mr Wilde resigned.
Many little schemes were laid
to deceive the public before
that convention took place, but
it is all very plain now. Billy
Hines' actions in congress,
right or wrong, had to be in
dorsed regardless of the opin
ions of the Democrats of the
district, and had it been sus
pected that such a trick would
he sprung that day there would
have been delegates from every
district and the resolution
would never go through as it
did then.
How those postoffice appli
cants of that city, ahout a half
dozen in number, could refuse
Hines the favor and at the
same time each clamoring
for favor from him was a hard
problem to solve and no at
tempt was made to solve it.
If they had refused to indorse
Hines, as they should have
done, their hopes for the post
oflice were at an end, and to
have Billy waddling through
this district next fall in search
of votes without an indorse
ment from the district conven
tion would he decidedly un
pleasant and uphill work.
However, he secured it as was
intended and as the work was
performed well, and according
to rule, 1 will not be surprised
to hear of 1 he office being filled
at any time from now on.
They were so faithful in obey
ing orders, it's a pitv that
llines hasn't a postoffice to
give to each of them.
