f fcus mentally disposed of Fanny Essex,

we* not college bred, but he had gradu
ated on the bnttlu-fiuld, taking his diplo
ut* from the disastrous plain* of Appo
if?i^toJE H<s returoan homo to find a
desolate heart'; aud a broken household.
There was nothing left to him hut to look
out for himself, and he commenced the
study of law* in that same little, dingy
offico, iu a narrow street in Richmond,
tho very place where ihe Tetter of Mr.
Rlack, attorney for the estate of j his;
uncle, reached him, bringing tidings of
his great good furtuno. Iiis spirits, that
had been weighed dovru by the sad
changes uiisfbrtunes hud wrought, now
sprang up with the clastic rebound natu
ral to youth and joy.
"A parting visit to Fan !" he cried
gaily, "and then for New York and plea
sure !"
That evening found him seated by
Fanny's side, iu her mothor's parlor,
talking grandly of his possessions, his
Bchcuics uud pleasures. She listened nt
first, with n bounding pulse und a kin
dling fuc -, for the happiuess thut hud just
been awaiting a turn in fortune's wheel,
would surely be theirs now. But as he
went ou with hm uiry braggadocio, it
suddenly struck her, like u blow, that he
had not ouco included her in any of h':
plans. Tt had been?"/will do this
and, will do that," with a selfish
oblivion of her dearest hopes. When
this thought came to her, her hands
ceased their happy, nervous fluttering,
and tho flush died from her face. She1
sat by him very still, her lips never
moving?just her heart crying out, in its
great agony, "If (Jod hud but given this
Voalth to me, how freely, how gladly. I
would have luid it all iu his, hand." And
he, utterly selfish, rattled on, unheeding
the fierce* warfare that love and pride
were waging iu that gentlo busom. At
last, ho rose to go. "Well, Fan, rather
patronizingly, "I suppose you will hear
from me while I am in New Yojk."
Fan raised her eyes?how tender and
sad they were!
"I du nut know why. I .should, Mr.
tiroham."
??Mr. tlruh.-ini," who had qlw.-iys been
??Paul" before, had uever started nt the
' shriek of .passing kIioIJ, as. ho did at a
nameless something in that loW> even
tone.
"Why, Futi," he cried ; "in the name

"I hiive been dreaming," said the girl,
"and have just awakeucd. I hope l.did
not startle you !"
"By the gods! you did, though ! Bcon

"About a great .possession, that I
thought was mine. I dreamed that you
loved nie, Faul."
"So I do, my angel. 8o I do."
"You do not," she answorcd, calmly.
I "Vor love but two things on the face of
the earth?yourself aud your niouey."
" You arc wrong, my dear little Fanny,
Ibr I love you ; and you must not be so
bar' on a fellow, whose greatest fault is,
(lint he want.- to enjoy himself a little
before settling down."
"There was a time," Baid she, "when
you swore your elite! joy was to be near
me. But all this wealth has changed
you. I was foolish not to know it. For
give me, Paul, that I did not release you
at ouco."
Bho spoko without any passion, and
he looked sharply :'.t her, to see if she
could be ? iu earnest, but there was no
smilo on the glowing lip, and no light in
the tearful eyes.
"Why, Fan, you abominable jilt !" ho
exclaimed, lightly ; "you do not think 1

?You are to be my truo princess always,

ried, and, as the story books s?y, 'livo

But she only shook her head, and said,
'No, Paul j you arc free. It is bettor so.
I know it is.
And he, not fully persuaded that she
waft *?rong, did not entreat with the
warmth and passion he would have
evinced before his fortunate windfall;
for he, silly fellow, thinking half a mil
lion would buy everything he could pos
sibly want, wi'.ii the trifling ingrodieut
of happiness thrown in, left her stand
ing there with her firm denial and
breaking heart. "She'll come round,"
thought he; "and if she don't, why, by
th( powers, thore are plenty more. Pick
and choose. Paul, my man, take your
time <'nrp* diem! That's your mot
to!"
Carperlttm! With what a relish it
went. Women and wine, houses and

which he was ruahiug to ruin.
Could the old man who had amassed
all that money, with such pains-taking
and miserly caro, scraping it together
from highways and by-ways, have seen
how rapidly it was flowing back into its
old chanuols, ho could not surely hare
lain so still in his narrow house.. No
phantom hand, however, closed around
the money bags, and the string of Paul
Graham's purse always "hung on the out
side."
Thus it continued fur two-years. "Dear
little Fan" was well-nigh* forgotten in
the multiplicity of exciting pleasures, ho
managed to crowd into the days. Ilia
friends?of whom he had a host?(for
what good fello.v who spent money free
ly cvor lacked^ them t) His friends, I
say, looked on him with a oertain kind
of admiral ion for his reckluxsnera, and
pity for the ruin that was inevitably com
ing upon him.
At first, Paul had supposed that tho
purse of Fortunat us never in its palmiest
days contained more than half a million;
but latterly he began to have .forebod
ings that, through the glitter of the coin,
he could t?oe something that looked mur
vclously like tho bottom of the wallet.
And though he had enjoyed the day
wonderfully, he did not like the prospect
of night coming on with its darkness and
want.
"Sotno fools would tell me to econo
mise on what is left," he soliloquised,
in taking a mental review of the situa
tion ; "hut that's not my stylo. Live*
while you do live, iV.nl, my hearty, and
die, if die you must, bravely, with colors
flying ! Before giving up, however, l'lj

All night long he sat in Tulbot'a mag
uiGeeut gaming saloon, watching the
revolutions of his fluctuating fortune.

early hours of morning, but then the
fickle jade gave him the cut direct, ami

4, 5, G o'clock, and the pale dawn
looked in upon the paler faces of the
miserable devotees. And still tho wheel
turned, sud still fortune frowned on the
boldest gambler that ever quaffed the
maddening wine in her honor.

unhallowed shrine. lie got up and
strode fiercely through the glittering
rooms, as if to shako the dust of the ac
cursed place from his feet. He hnd
reached tho door, aud turned it on it*
silent hinges, when a subden thought
caused him tu close it softly aud turn
haughtily back. The men who stood
urouud were his friends; they had eaten
of his salt, drunk of his cup, and reveled
on his bounty. Verily. Paul Graham
had been "wouuded in the lw>use of hia
friends," and they looked on now, won

could be going to say, for they thought
ho was one that "would die, and
make no moan," aud not like some of
nerveless mould, come whining around
his lost fortune.
lie atood just iu front of tho man who
had heaped tip before him the remnant
of his abundant wealth. The wine Ilm h
had died from his face, and his fiery eye*
gleamed from their pnle settings, like
living coals iu the dead white ashes.
"Walter Klbert," addressing his fortm
uatc rival, "you have known me long,
and known mo to be an honest man,
though a foolish one. Fortune came to
me unexpectedly, and turned my braiu ;
but beforo i.' came, I had one treasure
that t prised above all the gold that ever
glittered on that table I have it yet.
Bisk something against it, aud give me
one more chance to walk out iuto God's
fVee world, for as a heggar, I will never
leave these walls; aud I tell ynu, though
smiling and unconcerned as you sit there,
my blood will bo upon your head."
"What is your treasure, Paulasked
tho other, lightly. "Perhaps I'll stake
a few thousands against it. I may just
as well add it to these," touching the
nctes and money lying before him.
"It is the woman who onoe promised
to be my wife?the fairest and best in all
lite world."
Such a laugh as went up from these
uen!

'Waiter Eibcti. ' That happens to be a

"However," he continded, "I never
did tho shabby by a fall^tffoe, so there
goes fur a thousand ou yesr fair capital,
and may she bring you lufck, any I." ? j
She did bring him luck. Once more
they stood front to front on that despe
rate battle-field. The ground that had
already been won and lost was gone over
again with bitter tenacity. The sun went
down, and night deepened, bot still liioy
pin; cd?fortune balancing her favors so
evenly that the young men cursed her
for the fickle jade she is ever rcpiesented
to be. Put at lust iltoro was a change,
and the heap before Puut'grew in magni
tude, until it swallowed all the wiouiogs
of his ?ppoucut, and made deep iuronds
into the capital of the bank.
Ho was rich again ; and he bet with a
maddened recklessness that startled the
oldest habitues of that splendid toinpl?
of siu.
A few' more nervous revolutions of the
wheel, and the buuk w?f 'broken 1 Paul
Graham had redeemed his squandered
heritnge. His gold, his notes and vouch
ers were all arranged ; then he arose,
smiling, with his haggard,-- ghastly face,
and 'pointing to the OttWdtig day, said,
"Carite (firm! (iciitlfJEglMwI bid you
a hnppy farewell." >3>iW5
He reached the sidewalk, managed tu
signal n carriage, and, wjth the driver's
assistance, got in. That was the last he
knew for many long days and weeks; lor
the tense bruin and ncVtttfci relaxed, and
a lever, that almost took the mind and
life out'oi him, hold jjflii long -.c;ii
suuiing fires. Untsthrough nil h.*? intol
erable burning and nnguishj there fceui
ed to be a pitying angel ever near, miu
istering to his frcnr.ied wants. And
when the disease at length released its
death-like grasp, and he opened his eyes
again to consciousness, the some angelic
presence stood by his side, and louk<.-d
pityingly down ou his helplessness. His
feeble lips could just form the syllable
"Fan," when they were sealed by a light
kiss, which gave thu impression of for
giveness and reconciliation.
Whcu he grew strong enough, which
he finally did, mutual explanations were
givon. He learned that he had been Ich.
at the Fifth Avoiiue Hotel. The physi
cian who was called in, hearing the
young man's piteous entreaties for ' sweet
Fan," looked among his papers, und
finding that young lady's address, did
n^f hesitate to dispatch for her.
And she, tender, compassionate, for
giving Fan, came and nursed hiin
through his desperate and tedious illness,
and now, that he was getting well ?gain,
was going back home, to the old aimless
life.
Put he took her in his feeble anus and
I swore that that should never be, declar
ing he needed her now more than ever.
He made a full confession of the vicious
life he hud been leading, even down to
his insane and audacious recklessness iu
Talbot's saloon, and then he swore, by
the piper that played before Moses, th.it
she alone would keep him from sueh
wild pranks in tHc future.
?'For you see, child, I am rich yet,
and my conduct has proved that I mo
not a fit recipient of fortune's favors. I
must have a custodian to taku caro of
inc and my money, ami you, Fan, have
been my guardian angel, und guardian
and angel you must be still."
A ml so she was.
The dignity and gTavity had come to
her with time and trial, and no une who
seos her ns she rolls by it< ncr splendid
cquippnge, thinks that she is wanting in
stylo either.
A few of tho initiated, when they
meet her und Walter Elbert iu society
together, whisper to him :
"Walter, old boy, you were devilish
unlucky." And Wall tr thinks if he
could find a duplicato Mrs. Graham, be
might he !ndneed to become a marrying
man.
Paul has not changed his motto, but
he makes it mean nobler things, and he
sets a seal to all of his many ohsritable
deeds, by softly saying to himself?

the topic of convention to-day in
sporting circles is the raco of yestcrdny
over the Goinotte track. *>. fkm astory *oo
good:to keep, bat out of pure sympathy
lor the Iterated feeliuga of a dozen gen
tlemen who thought they knew a thing j
or two about horses?but were badly '
picked -up by a greeny yesterday?we
won't give the names of the sufferers.
The race last Wednesday after*so*t
. was attended by quite a number from
this city and elsewhere. Among Ihom
present was an ofd nod seedy-looking
farmer from near Riebmond, Kay coun
ty. Ahmg the fence he had three lank,
rawboned- horses tied. After the adver
tised races were concluded the aged agri
culturali&t was bantered to put up 'some
.money on ono of his "plugs," und so
help to get up a "scrub race." He re
plied that he believed that animal, point
ing to an old mare who stood with her
head down and half asleep, could run
pretty tolerable well if she wss "trained
"Hut," said he, "she's been at work all
spring and summer, and ain't fit to run
now." q
While several sports were trying to
cajole the old fellow into a wager, an
other party slipped around to the roar of
the stable where stood "Punch," a very
fleet goer for a race of 300 yarda.?
Punch is, in fact, one of the fastest races
for a short distance that is to be found
in the State. The blanket was stripped
from the nag, an old rope halter, torn
bridle, and half-worn saddle put on htm,
j and he was quietly led a abort distance
and tied to a fence.
After considurab'e talk, the veteran
son of the soil burst out with the propo
sition to bet $25 that his mare could
beat any other ordinary horse on the
ground., lie was then tnken to where
.Pnnoh was tied, saw that the animal
looked to be anything but a horso,<.kept,
for racing, and 'expressed h'iinaclf sntis
to run his mare against "that air
ufTV.
against his old nag ttercd. The
farmer, who appeared to Ii.se all his wits,
took up the beta one after another till
he had staked $250 against an equal
amount put up by several parties, in
sums oT from 610 to $50.
It was agreed to postpone the mee till
yesterday attcruoen. The " ports" of
this towu rode back to the city in high
glee. They bad a sure thing on th t
confiding old rustic, they thought, and
indulged among themselves in all sorts
of witticisms over his simplicity.
When the time for the race occurred
the foolish farmer was promptly on hand.
Again he was tempted to stake more
ni'-ney, and he recklessly plunged down
into the depths of his pockets after
greenbacks, uutil he wagered $1,500.
Sums of $300 and less amounts had been
staked by the "knowing ones", of this'
towu chuckled over tho "soil thing"
thoy hud secured, until the entire pile of
the "greenhorn" had been covered.
Tho word to "go" was given amid the
wild shouts and loud laughter of the
backers of "Punch." "Go it, old sor
rel!" "Harry up that mare!" and
other jeering expressions passed from
mouth to mouth.
The "old sorrel!" did just more than
hurry up. She shot ahead of the racer
"Punch," kept the lead easily and came
in the winner by forty feet.
Well, wasn't that a sick crowd of
sporting men, aa the old ?greenhorn"
received the fifteen hundred dollars ho
had won ? Shouldn't wonder. Aud
when they rode uWay from the track
yesterday afternoon did they uoacklc"
to any perceptiblo degree? Scarcely.
The nice trap they hud fixed for tho old
man didn't catch him, but he worked
out his own little game most beautifully.
