TI'O'J AKT Tllli MAN.
There was an awkward pause for a
moment. Mr. llelmout appeared rest- l
ivo and uneasy under the other's steady
gaze, and soon broke the silence.
"c'eo here, my man?it was understood
before I cimo in hero that I was !
to pay for what I had, and, poor as it !
is, you w'ght havo spared me tlioexhi- <
bit ion of your boorislmoss with it. I '

and 1 am compelled to remain hero all !
night, lint there is one thing I can do, ;
that will, perhaps, tako somo of the ,
surliness out of you. I will pay my
bill in advuuee. How much is it?"
Ifyroil said nothing.

"My account against you, Mason Belmont,

Belmont started at the mention of his
name, and the altered tone of ilryaou. i
"Follow, what do mean? Where did :
ycu learn my name?"
"You oiler to pay me," said the
other, not heeding tl'io interruption. j
"'Jhere are (.01110 debts that never ean '
bo paid. I was r eh, lionorod, and
prosperous; 1 was your peer, tho peer i
ot an}' merchant in tho eitv where wo 1
lived. _Tho pa xioa^*f-gTmrTTg seized
me; I was mined. A charge of forgery :
to a large amount was brought against '
1110. I was perfectly innocent, but up- '
pear an cos wore strong that I was
guilty. The eloquence of my counsel !
on the tr'al and some remnant of sympathy
in the jury saved lne, after a
? " long' deteofnni wiuf wusMlis- ;
charged. I came out a branded man! |
Everybody believed 1110 guilty. I was 1
a Cain where I had been almost a
prince. Yet 1 bad not lost heart. J I
took courage u:.d resolved to conquer |
the world again. My beaut f .1 home, !
my gr.oat block of stor-. s, wore heavily !
mortgaged, but 1 knew that with time 1
given me 1 could clear oil' the incum- j
brancCB and save my property. Yo 1 j

you?you who had often dined at my j
table and begged favors of 1110?and 1
assured yon of the new life that I meant
to lead. 1 asked yo i for tinio in !
which to savo my property and pay all I
that was duo. \'ou met my appeal J
with a heartless demand of instant
payment. I begged for so little as a
viar; you were obdurate. You took
advantage of the depression of the
time; you foreclosed, bought in tlio
property at half its value, crushed me
at a blow. My dear wife sank under
the a'Uiction anil die I. I was a beggar,
even regarded as a criminal. J tied

Ho raised hio voice, VnflRes glowed,
his form wa; erect, h'-fMHffls beat the
air with emphatic ges; His guest !
fell back to the wall in terror and astonishment.
'"Why?bless me!- but this seems
impossible. Can you be Newland Wen- \
dell?"
"Aye! Look nt nie?thuak of my j

"Why, rea ly, Wendell-- Mr. Woudell?this

"And so I am! Dead to my good

not cruelly denied me the chance. Oh,
I'm dead enough; I shouldn't be more
so if L wen - buried."
"I don't know precisely what to say to
you, Mr. Wendell. I don't apologize to
anybody; but I will say thut, perhaps,
w J was a little too hard on you."
"Yes, a little?just a little!" said
Urvson (as we shall still call him, his
livid face trembling with rngo and
grief. "Monstrous Shy look that you
fwere, a devil ,iu?t stepped out of holi
A couldn't have used a former friend as
v you treat'd inc."
"Don't bo unreasonable, my dear air,"'
itaid I'elmont. with an attempt to speak
soothingly. "I did what the law allowed;
that you'll admit. As for the
forgery, 1 believed you guilty, just as
everybody did."
"1 wan not guilty.'*
"Yos, I know that; all your old
friends in the city know it. Simon Osborn
died two years ago, and on his
deatli bed ho Kai l that ho had been
hasty; that lie was satisfied that tho
check was as he wrote it, and that you
had not altered tho amount. He tried
hard to find you. Did you never hear
of this?"
"Hear of it? No; how could anything
of this reach my ears? My name
is changed; 1 am changed myself. You
did not know me; nobody would. Look
nt these rough hands, at these bent
shoulders! 1 am a common laborer, a
drudge in tho fields and woods, barely
supporting myself and that poor child.
My past life has gone from me. There
is a gulf between it and uie that 1 cannot
cross."
JIis violence had almost dcpai ted;
ho spoke now like a man almost heartbroken.
Staggorod by this sudden apparition
of one whom he had deeply
wronged, and whom he had thought
long dead. Mason Belmont was in consternation.
He knew not what to say;
to offer any reparation was gall to liis
miserly soul. The change of Brysou's
mood gave him an opportunity to escape
for the present from these bitter
reproaches.
"Well, Mr. Wendell, it's long past
now, and I don't see just what can be
done about it. Ten years is a long
time, you know. 1 hope you'll believe
mo when I say that this painful disco ery
has almost upset mo. Let me go to
bod aud sleep on it, and I'll talk with
you further in the morning. Will 3*011
take this live dollars now for my koeping?"
"No; put it away with tho rest of
your ill-gotten gains."
1 Mr. Belmont returned tho bill to his
pocket, and did not resent tho bitter
taunt. Bryson had taken tho eandlo
ruu started ror the door; the guest followed
him with his sachet.
Five minutes later, 13ryson returned
to the room. He throw some of the
wood on the lire, und snt down beforo
it. When the little clock on the shelf
struck eleven he was ? till sitting there.
A tempest was raging in his brain.
CHAlTEIt V.
THE I> V I.'$ B'iC K'lMVO.
'1 lie presence of Mr. llelmont. in this
house, and the few words he had said,
had raised a torment in Torn I-Tyson's
breast that oiVcctually banished sleep,
lie sat before the lire deeply wrapped
in thought; but bis thoughts moved
about in a ceaseless circle, and nothing
came of them. Mr. Iteimont and
his fornior friends should holp him and
he never would accept of their
help, l'o would return to the city
with Jessica -and he was no longer lit
for the companionship of his old
friends, llis child should bj rescued
l'roui this poverty and obscurity, and
placed in the station t > which her
birth, her beauty, and her mind entitled
her?and sooner thin accomplish
it by alius of tho.Ne of whom he
was ouco an opinl, elio should share
his fate, bitter as it was.
An hour passed with these thoughts, j
and the clock struck twelve. The tire,
fed by light, dry branches, had en- I
tirely died out; the candle in tho
further ond of tbo room shed 110 light ;
horc: and so it. w in (imi ?
light coming through the chink in tho |
wall near where lie sat now atf-mctert^
his attention, lie understood at once
what it meant, an I w.tli the kuowicdgo
came suggestions troin the tempter!
The room usually occupied by J5ryson
for a sleeping apartment, anil into
which ho had conducted the travel or,
\va : next adjoining this one. To reach
it the two had eutci'od a hall, passed
back twenty feet, and entered the
house had been substantially built, with
thick partitions; but the wall between
these rooms had shared the misuse of
tho whole house, and in places groat
patches of plastering were gone. In
one spot, about four foot from the lloor,
a small piece of lathing was gone; and
it was through a wide crack hero that
the licht came.
liryson's curiosity was instantly
aroused. ^Ir. llehiionl had said he was
tired. His candle was still burning.
"What was he about?
lie might look and find out. Tho
sitting-room was dark atthisoiul; thero
was no danger of detection.
Tho Nowland Wendell of other days
would have scorned the net that Tom
Ilryson now committed, llo was, indeed,
a changed man.
Ho stooped and put his eye to tho
crack.
* * ? * *
lie-moving only lus coat and boots
when his churlish host had left him,
\ir. Helmont placed his sacliel uuder
the pillow and threw himself upou tho
bed.
But ho could not sloop.
Ho was not superstitious; he had not
an atom of sentiment in his hard, dry
nature; but thero was something in tho
rapid succession and the strangeness
of the events of the last five hours that
deeply impressed him. Tho accident
to the coach, tho storm, the falling
in with Kdgar N un Wyek, were
tho links in the chain that had drawn
liiin to this out-of tho way place, ami
to a most disagrooablo meeting. Ho
thougnt of tho morrow, and groinel.
No remorse troubled him; it was simply
tho fear that if this man should
continue to reproach him for his ruin,
i ho could not escape ottering him
money.
"Hang tho follow!" lie muttered.
"Why does ho bother mo? 1 only took
my own. I do i't owe liim a cent."
Ho could satisfy his own coarse soul
by s ich reasoning as this, but he cou'd
not shake oil' the suit oct.
"It was hard on the poor devil," he
rollected; "hut hoVl ruined himself bofore
1 took liim in hand."
Then came a thought that startled
him from tho bed, as it with a shock.
"A prottv place this is for mo to bo
! in all night, with what I've got along
i with ino! Can that crazy fellow suspect
it? Hardly. I've boon caroful
not to drop a hint ahout it. \\ hat
I might ho not do if lio did find it out,
| oil'in tli h lonely place? It makes mo
! tremblo to think of it ! I can't sloop
now, hure, till l'vo mi that it'u nil
j right."
A match from a pocket eaao vclit tho
i candle. Ho went to the door and nliot
; the rusty boll. .Sitting upon the aide
| of tho hod, he took t hu sachol and
i opened it with a key from li h oocket.
As tho beginning of our narrative has
found Mason Belmont, lie was only
, midway upon his journey. it? object,
J known only to a few conthlcutial friends
r.t his home, was to attend a largo landj
sale at the capital of one of the new
, Stales which was at that day considered
j tho Far West. His business slirewdi
moss had foreseen chances for enormous
i gains by liberal investment in that lo '
cnlity; but ready monov was requisite,
! and bank paper at that sale would not
I answer.
So lie secretly, carefulIv carried a
j small fori tine with hint. The suchel
i couta ne 1 twenty-live thousand dollars.
One after another In pulled out from
' il bundles of notes, arm-thick, securely
tied with tapes. He examined the figures
poinded on the back of each, and
ouo ol tli buudlcs he unfastened and
counted. It was a goodly sight. Bills
there were of the denomination of fifty
doilars, one hundred, five hundred,
and at leust throe representing one
thoii?and each. The examination was
fcatiffactory. Tlio merchant returned
| tiio treasure to the sacliel, replaced it
| beneath his pillow, put out the light,
i and found sleep.
? + * *
The scene that has just been do|
f cribod was silently, stealthily viewod
j by Tom liryson from his concealment.
r.ikcono fascinated, he gazed at the
; wealth spread out on the coverlet. For
I years he had seen no such sight as this;
I for veuvs he had known nothing of
j money but the pittanco that his hard I
| toil produced. i
Tlio tempter whispered in his ear, ,
I and his heart throbbod madly at the :
! thought. Here was wealth enough to. j
| make him comfortable, to make Jessica
happy. . . .
Who owned it? "j H
| Hie-own worst enefty^ <
1 boing, tho faithless friend who had no '
! compassion for him in his extremity; *
who had joined tho crowd in outlawing 1
j him; nay, tlio very man whose hard 1
hand had deprived nim of his all with- 1
out grace or mercy. 1
| A wild, fierce exultation rose iu I3rv- | <

1 right here, to make recompense for tlio
j grievous wrongs lie had done?
Hut Ins life stood in tlio wa;?.
The life of such n man! (Should he

The candle went out; there was darkI
ness everywhere in the old house. Tor
: half an hour Bryson never stirred as ho
| le.mod against the wall. Tlio deep,

It was past one o'elo -k, when, with
out a light, and with bet unshod, Bryson
groped his way down into the cellar.
! eeling about in the pitchy dark- ;
ness of the place, ho found a sholf.
Several articles upon it ho handled
and rejected, but presently seized the
| one for which lie searched. It was a
thick, heavy iron bar, two feet long.
He placed it inside his waistcoat, and
followed the wall along to another part
of the cellar, beneath the lloor of tlio
room where his guest wu3 sleeping.
Mounting an old hot, ho cautiously
"triedThoiloor. It did not yield. Several
times ho changed tlio position of
the box, and pushed the hoards with
his hands, before they yielded. At
list a trap-door v. us lilted a few inches,
lie paused a moment, with both bauds
above liis head, to lii.iko sure that

pain; but ho succeeded in drawing t
himself up, unt. 1 his knees rested on I
the lloor of the chamber. Then oe- i

| but could not prevent. The heavy

i back, and fell over witn a c rush.
The sleeper started up, thoroughly ! '

''Who's there?" he demanded. '
There was no answer. The room was I 1
fts still again as it was dark. t
i "I say?who's there?" j i
Still no answer. 1 i
"Was I dreaming about a noise, I s
wonder?" Mr. liniment thought. [
He jumped from the bed, and linding
his mate h-casc, struck a light. The I
llasli revealed his face as he stooped to- j
ward the chair to light the candle.
A dim figure glided swiftly and sil- '
ently to him; there was a dull noise as j 1
tho merciless iron bar descended in a ' 1
terrific blow upon his temple, and j I
Mason lielmont fell like a log, dead at i i
the foot of his assassin. * i ]
Tho lighted match still burned upon 1
t tho floor where it had fallen. Bryson
snatched it up and re-lit tho candle. I
The victim lay prone on his face, his 1
arms thrown abroad.
A moment's hesitation: a shudder, i
and then tho murderer pulled the body
to the trap-hole, and hurled it into tho
cellar. The victim's coat, shoes, and j
hat followed. Then tho iron bar, then j
