TEOU AltT THE MAN.
There was an awkward pause for a
moment. Mr. Bolmont appeared restive
and uneasy nnder the other's stendy
gaze, and soou broke the silenco.
Vee here, uiy mnn?it was understood
beforo I cimn in hero that I was
to pay for what I had, and, poor as it j
is, you urglit havo spared mo the exlii?
bitiou of your boorislmess with it. I J
can't undertake to got to Ayleswoi tb at
this tinio of night, over a strango road, |
and I am compelled to remain hero all 1
night. But there is one thing I can do, I
that will, perhaps, tako some of the
surliness out of you. I will pay my
bill in advance. How much is it?"
Bvron Ri*wl tinfliinrr
"Come? your < barge, I 3ay I Let mo j
. get to bed, anil forgot the miseries of
this day."
"My account against yon, Maaou Belmont,
is larger than X mako out in a
lew minutes; larger than yon can easily
pa v.*
Belmont started at the mention of his
name, und the a'.fered toue of ilryaou.
"Fellow, what do moan? Where did
you learn my naino?"
"You offer to pay mo," said the
other, not heeding the interruption.
"There are somo debts that never can
be paid. I was r ch, honorod, and i
prosperous; 1 was your peer, tho peer I 1
of any merchant in tho city wheu wo 1
lived. Tho passion of gain ng seized
me; I was ruined. A charge of forgery !
to a largo amount was brought against j '
me. I was porfootly innocent, but up- ,
pearancos were strong that 1 was =
guilty. Tho eloquence of my counsel
on tho tr al and some remnant of syrn- j
pathy in tho jury saved lqc, after a ]
' ...i L (u*1o ftgrna. and attar -?ueieutiou
in iail I was ms- |
charged. I came out a branded man! j
Everybody believed me guilty. 1 was \
a Cain where I hud been almost a |
prince. Yet 1 had not lost heart. 1 j
took courage u:.d resolved to conquer (
the world again. My beaut;f .1 home, ,
my gv.oat block of stores, wero heavily
mortgaged, but 1 knew that with time | ,
given mo 1 could clear off the incumbrances
and save mv property. Yo i
had borght up the mortgages, i sought
you?you who had often dined at mv
tablo and begged fa\ors of me?and
assured you of the now life that I meant
to lead. I asked yo i for time in
which to save my property and pay all
that was due. You met my appeal
with a heartless demand of instant
payment. I begged for so little as a
year; you were obdurate. You tpok
advantage of the denrossion of the I
time; you foreclosed, bought in the
property at half its value, crushed me
nt a blow. My dear wife Hank under
the a'lliotion and died. X was a beggar,
even regarded as a criminal. 1 lied
with my child from all who had known
me. For years we have been buried in
obscurity,.' cursed, with poverty and
hard toii. It is jour work, MasonFelmont;
how do you like it?"
He rsi?od his voice, his eyes glowed,
his form vat erect, his hands beat tho
air with cmphatio gestures. His guest
fell back to tho wall in terror nnd astonishment.
"Why?bless me!?but this seems
impossible. Can you beNewland Wendell?''
"Aye! Look nt me?thiek of my
chl'd?and say how yo.i liko your
work!"
, . "Whv, rea ly, Wendell?Mr. AVendell?tliis
is extremely sudden. I
thought you were dead; everybody
thought so."
"And so I am! Dead to mv (rood
: iiuim-i. dead lo tlie fortune that was
mine ?to the woalth and renewed honor
*' ^f "ib?t would liavo been mine?had you
not cruelly denied me the chance. Oh,
I'm . dead enough; I shouldn't bo more
so if 1 wcnr buried."
"I don't know precisely what to say to
you, Mr. Wendell. I don't apologize to
anybody; but I will say that, perhaps,
m I was a little too hard on you.*
~ "Yes, a little?just a little!" said
IJryson -(as wo shall still call him, his
livid faoo trembling with rago and
grief. "Monstrous Shy lock that you
were, a devil just.Hteppo.d out of lioll
couldn't have-used a former friend as
you treated me."
"Don't bo unreasonable, my dear sir,"
said Helmont, with an attempt to speak
soothingly. "I did what the law allowed;
that you'll admit. As for tho
fo/gory, I believed you guilty, just as
everybody did." i
"J was not guilty."
"Yes, I kuow that; all your old
friends in the city know it. Simon Osborne!
iod two years ago, and on hii
dosth-bed Lo said that he had been
hasty; that ho was satisfied that the
chetfk was as he wrote it, and that you
had not altered the amount. He tried
knr<4 trt vfni 1)tH TAii nnvnv Keen
oFYhis?'"'
"Hear of it? No; bow could anything
of this reach my ears? My nmue
is changed; I urn changed myself. You
did not know me; nobody wonld. Look
at these rough bands, at these bent
shonldors! 1 am a common laborer, a
drndge in tho Holds and woods, barely
Supporting myself and that i>oor child.
My past lifo lias gone from me. There
, is a gulf between it and me that I cannot
oross."
Bis violence .had almost departed;
vuuuHiu. xt was a goodly sight. Bills
I there were of the denomination of fifty
dollars, one hundred, five hundred,
, and at least throe representing one
! thori?nnd each. The examination was
i satisfactory. Tho merchant returned
tho treasure to tho sachol, replaced it
beneath his pillow, pnt out the light,
and found sleep.
* w * *
The scene that has just been dof
eribod was silently, stealthily viewod
| by Tom liryson from his concealment.
I Like ono fascinated, he gazed at the
wealth spread out on the coverlet. For
years he had seen no such sight as this;
for veuvs he had known nothing of
money but tho pittance that his hard
toil produced.
Tho tempter whispored in his ear,
and his heart throbbod madly at the
thought. Here was wealth enough tomake
him comfortable, to make Jessica
happy. .
Who owned it? v?*1
Hi*-own. worst enMfiy J. arfrjta*
boing, tho faithless friend who had no
broken. Staggered by this sudden apparition
of one whom be bad deeply
wronged, and whom lie bad thought
long dead. Mason Belmont was in consternation.
lie knew not what to say;
to offer any reparation was gall to liis
miserly boui. Tbe change of Br y sou's
mood gave him an opportunity to escape
for tbe present from tbeso bitter
reproaches.
"Well, Mr. Wendell, it's long past
now, and I don't see just what can bo
dono about it. Ten yean is a long j
time, you know. 1 hope you'll believe j
mo when I say that this painful disco - J
ery has almost upset mo. Let mo go to
bod and sleep on it, nnd I'll talk with
you further in the morning. Will 3'ou
take this five dollars now lor my Looping
?"
"No; put it away with the reat of
your ill-gotten gains."
Mr. Belmont returned the bill to his
poi-kot, nnd did not resent tho bitter
taunt. Brysou had taken tho candlo
and started for the door; the gnejt followed
him with his sacliol.
Five minutes later, Bryson returned
to tho room. He throw some of tho
wood on the fire, and sat down before
it. When the little clock on the shelf :
struck eleven he was :<till sitting there.
A tempest was raging in hi* brain.
CHAl TEK V.
the d"-v i.'fj bxckon1no.
The presenco of Mr. Belmont in this
house, and tho few words ho had said,
had raised a tormont in Tom I'ryson's ;
breast that effectually banished sleep,
lie sat before the lire deeply wrappod
in thought; but his thoughts moved
about in a ceaseless circle, and nothing
came of them. Mr. I'eimont nnd
his formor friends should holp him ?
nnd he never would accept of their
help, l'o would return to the city
with Jessiea?and ho was no longer fit
for the companionship of his old
friends, llis child should bj rescued
from this povorty and obscurity, and
placod in the slatiou t > which her
birth, her boauty, and her mind entitled
her?and sooner thin accomplish
it by alms of those of whom he
was oiico an eipial, uho should share
his fttto, bitter as it was.
An hour passed with these thoughts, j
nud tho clock struck twelve. The tiro, j
fed by light, dry branches, had en- j
tiroly died out; tho candle 111 the |
further end of tho room shed no light j
here; und so it was that a gleam of ]
light coming through the chink in tho |
wall near where I10 Bat now attracted j
his attention. Ho understood at once j
what it meunt, an I with tho kuowiedgo
camo suggestions irom tho tempter!
The room usually occupied by Bryson
for a sleeping apartment, and intq
which he had couductod tho travolor, j
wa 1 noxt adjoining this ouo. To roach .
it the two had entered a hall, passed
hack twenty feet, nnd entered the j

11 ouft0 had been substantially built, with j
lliinlr unrlifinnc* link flaA wall Unfwnnn 1
liieso rooms hnd shared tho misuse of
I ho whole house, and in pluces great
patches -of pluslering were gono. In
one spot, about four foot from tho lloor,
n small piece of lathing was gone; and
it wan through a wide crack hero that
the licht came.
Bryson's curiosity was instantly
aroused. Mr. llelinont hnd said he was
tired. His candle was still burning.
What was he about?
He might look and find out. The '
sitting-room was dark nt this end; thoro
was no danger of detection.
The Nowland Wendoll of other days
would have scorned tho act that Tom
Bryson now committed. Ho was, indeed,
a changed man.
Ho stooped and put his oye to the
craek.
* m * * * +
Removing only his oout and boots
when his churlish host had left him,
Mr. Belmont placed his sachet under
the pillow and threw himself upon the
bed.
But he could not sleep.
He was not superstitious; he had not
an atom of sontiment in his hard, dry
nnturo; but thoro 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, the storm, the fall
ing id with Ihlgar Van Wyek, were
tho links in (he chain that hart drawn
him to this out-of-the way place, and
to a most disagreeablo meeting. 1!o
thought of tho morrow, and groinel.
No romorse troubled him; it was simply
the 'fear that if this man should
continue to reproach him for his ruin,
he could not escape offering him
money.
"Hang the fellow!" ho muttered.
"Why does ho bother mo? I only took
my own. 1 do.i'fc owe him a cent."
"lie could satisfy his own coarse soul
by s ich reasoning as this, but he could
not shake off tho sub oct.
"It was hard on the poor devil," he
reflected; "but he'd ruined himself before
I took him in hand."
Then oamo a thought thnt startled
him from the l>ed, as if with a shock.
"A prottv place this is for mo to be
in all nigut, with what I've got along
with me! Can that crazy follow suspect
it? Hardly. I've been careful
not to drop a hint about it. What
might he not do if ho did find it out,
oft' in til s lonely place? It makes mo
tremblo to think of it! I can't sleep
now, sure, till I've seen that it's all
right."
A mutch from a pocket-case relit tho
caudle. He went to the door and oliot
the rusty bolt. Hitting upon the side
of tho lied, he took the sachel and
opened it with a key from h s pocket.
As the beginning of our narrative has

midway upon Jiis journey, its object,
known only to a few confidential friends
at his home, was to attond a largo landsale
at the capital of odo of the new
States which was at that day considered
the Far West. His business shrewdness
had forescon chances for enormous
gains by liberal investment in that locality;
but ready money was requisite,
and bank paper at that salo would not
answer.
80 ho secretly, carofully carried a
small fortune with him. Tho snchcl
conta'ned twonty-tivo thousand dollars.
One aftor another ho pulled out from
it bundles of notes,- arm-thick, securely
tied with tapes. Ho examined the figures
penciled on the back of each, and
one of the bundles he unfastened and

compassion lor mm in Ins extremity;
who had joined tho erowd in outlawing
him; nay, the very man whose hnrd
hand had cleurived biui of his all without
grace or inercy.A
wild, tierco exultation rose iu Bryson's
breast, lind not his time come
now? Had not fato brought his enemy
right here, to make recompense for tho
grievous wrongs ho had done?
But lbs life stood in tho wn;?.
The life of such a man! Should he
caro for that?
Tho caudle went out; there wa3 darkness
overywhero in tho ohl house. For
half an hour Bryson never stirred as ho
leanod against tho wall. Tho deop,
leg dar breathing of Mr. Belmont soon
told that he was asleep. And in silence
and dnrkuess tho liend whispered
in Brvsou's ear.

ix this dead or Kiour.
It was past ono o'clo -k, when, without
u light, and with bet unshod, Bryson
grojied his way down into tho cellar.
I eoling about in tho pitchy darkness
of tho place, he found a eholf.
Sovovnl articles upon it he handled
and rejected, hut presently seized tho
one for which he 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 tho cellar, beneath the floor of tho
room where his guest was sleeping.
Mounting an old box, ho cautiously
tried the tloor. It did not yield. Severn!
times ho changed tho position of
tlio box, and pushed tho hoards with
his hands, before they yiolded. At
hist a trap-door was lifted a few inches,
lie paused a moment, with both hands
above his head, to m.iko sure that
there had b.en no nlurui. Then with
a painful otl'ort lie vuisod liimselt by
his hands intn fho 1.J-. 1

muscular etfort filled his body with
pain; but he succeeded in drawing
himself up, until his knees tested on
the floor of the chamber. Then occurred
a mishap that he had fores* m,
but could not prevent. The heavy
door hud been raise I by his shoulders
to the perpendicular; in getting his
knees on the tloor the trap was thrown
back, and fell over with ft crash.
The sleeper started up, thoroughly
awake.
"Who's there?" ho demanded.
There was no answer. The room was
as still again as it was dark.
"I say?who's there?"
Htill no answer.
"Was I dreaming about a noise, I
wonder?" Mr. Belmont thought.
He jumped from the bed, and finding
his matt h-case, struck a light. The
flash revealed his face as ho stooped toward
the ohair to light the candle.
A dim figure glided swiftly and silently
to him; there was a dull noise as
the merciless iron bar descended in a
terrific blow npon his temple, and
Mason Belmont fell like a log, dead at
the foot of his assassin.
Tho lighted match still burned upon
the floor where it had fallen. Bryson
snatched it up and re-lit the candle.
| Tho victim lay prono on his face, his
arms thrown abroad.
A moment's hesitation; a shudder,
and then tho murderer pulled the body
to the trap-hole, and hurled it into the
cellar. The victim's coat, shoes, and
hat followed. Then the iron bar, then
; tho sachel? and tho trap-door was re'
closed.
