Alter the termination of the interview
between Arthur a.ul Eliza, in which tho
former wag told to Hope, he slowly wend
ed his way back to the hotei.
Hefe he seated himself beforo a large
window, and begin to think over what
'' bad transpired.
His intention had resulted fur more
favorably to his hopes than ho expected.
Instead of being driven hopelessly
from tho presence of his heart's idol, tho
? contrary assurance was given mm.

toy father hnd not written for me. How
dvect it would be to remain near FRiza,
tiow that lam mudo to hope I But I
will not disobey bis command. I will
go homo; but I vow him to-night
that not many days shall pass oro I am
by her side again. I will tell father of
thd dear, loved creaturo, and hew 1 love
her, and I know he will not bo so un
reasonable us to forbid mo from from in
dulging a passion for one so liko an
angel. Oh ! God, that sho was mine to
night that I might return homo happy,
A rap at the door roused Arthur froui
Juaaoliloquy.
He got up and opened it, and fouud
that the applicants for admission woro
! the friends whom ho had met that morn
ttnfj It ii'.jMi . . ft
ing and invited to his room that night.
He pointed them to seatB, and then
resumed his by the window again.

friends commenced * rogu-ar systematic
quitting -
"How did she receive you? What
did sUe-aay ? nod how did ahn aet ??'
' were among tho quest ions that were pro
pounded to Arthur without giving him
! a chance to reply.
"Promise that you will keep inviolable
the secret," returuod Arthur, "and I will
tali you all."
"Wo promise," cxcUtpied tho two
friends: ?
Horo Arthur related what transpired
ut the interview, and diHrdrmod tho hope
which Eliza's conduct towards him had
engraved in his bosom.
"If," (aid ho, "I hnd received uo ou
oouragetneut from the girl, despite my
lovo for her, an oblivion of herself might
hnve been possible My vanity would havo
felt iusulted, and I could have welcomed
the hour that took mo away from her.
But uow that she has encouraged me,
and 1 am inspired with a bright and glo
rious l.opc of winning her heart, I could
uot il I would, hush tho whisperings of
the mighty passion that now sits en
throucd in my heart for her and that
bids mo persevere. Somo folks call her
proud and unfeeling, but such an im
putation is a libel upou hcr'nature. She
is not nnfeeling. Because her heort
cannot be touched by evory one that
chances to meet her, and is foolish
enough to become cruzed about her, that
is no reason why slio sit on Id be denomi
nated hcnrilcss. She is too uoblo to wor
ship every sound and compliment that
love sick swains may s<?c fit to pay her.
The girl's nature is altogether different.
She is all heart. Put to win her esteem
one must not goat it in the ui.wjnor fbu:
gcuerally * 'finds acceptance with vulgar
backwoods girls. Such things are re
pulsive to her fiuo sensitive nature."
'?You approached her in the stylo ap
proved by professionals, then," inter
rupted oue ol Arthur's friends, who in
the most serious mattere, would always
fL'd a place to slip his jokes and irony
in.
"If you mean iu the style of ?profes
t-i mal love-makers,' I answer you in the
negative," responded Arthur; "but if
you allude to the manner in which 'pro
fessional' geutlcmcu ever approach young
ladies, you arc corrcet. But let that go.
1 sny the girl has a warm heart, aud I
beliove that I bRve made my impression
upon it. Now, fellows, to be candid, 1
am going away to-night, and if you will,
you can be of service to me after I am
gone. I am really iu love with Miss
Eliza, and as I believe thcro will be
many obstacles that will have to he met
am! coiiibatted, before I will bo permit
ted to Visit her, aud cultivate the esteem
sho baa for me, I desire you promise to
do a certain thing for me."
' You have that,",tho two friends re
sponded.
"Thon," resumed Arthur, "I want you
to fiud out how Miss Eliza's father rel
i: !!-?.-. the idea pi my v.v.wog ner m his
absence. He i? uoi in Liio city you
know. 1 have au idea that he will uot
like it so woll. ludaed, I kuow he will
not, because I have often heard that he
would insult tfny gentleman who dared
to show Eliza the slightest attention.
You kuow it is reportod that he is devil
bent in marrying Eliai to Claudius
Henry, tho parents of tho two having
set their bond* together for that purposo
years ago. IIcuco, I imagine that ho
will be uo littlo chagrined when he
Guds out that there is u probability of
his suicidal plan of disposing of his
daughter being thwarted. Of course
tho uowb of my visit to her will bo
spread all over tho city before to-morrow
uigtit tliin tuno. I want you to catch
every significant remark that il made,
and writo to mo. Aud by all means
don't forget to tell mo what Claudius
Henry says, lie will bo sure to repair
to her os'soon as ho hears that 1 have
boou ou'u visit to her bouse, aud bad au
interview in tlio parlor with her. Now
At this moment rep, rap, was heard at
the door, and Arthur was interrupted
from carrying his remarks any further.
Ho got up, opened the door, and to
his infinite Hurpriso, as well as that of
his friends, Claudius Henry stood erect
before him.
"Good evening sir," said Arthur;
won't you walk in."
' "No thank you. This is Mr. Aiustou
I presumes."
?'It is," replied Arthur.
"Thc~ I hsve business ~ith ycu, sir.
Will you please to walk down ataira with
mo?"
Hero our hero caught the eyes of his
two friends w jse expression teemed to
suy "don't g. '
But Arthur Aiuston was a man who
hud no physical fours, nud excusing him
self from his friends, ho turned to Hen
ry and said, "I am at your service, sir."
"Come ou," uttered Henry.
After arriving at the boitOm of the
steps, our hero stopped nud said?
"If your business is of a nature that
will admit of au adjustment here, you
will oblige me by making the purport of
your visit known/'
'?It cannot be settled here," sternly
replied Henry.
"Then you must wait until I run up
stairs ami excuse mysell from my com
pany for a longer time ihau I did just
now. I will join you again in a few
moments and he prepared to follow you,"
said Arthur.
"I will wait," gruffly replied th<; mys
terious visitor.
Arthur was in hi.s room io u few mo
UlOUtj.
Hero he hnstiiy told his friends the
conduct and demands of Henry.
One oi thutu feaivd th.it his visit
bjded evil to Arthur, but he could uut
be made to believe it.
'?What injury have I done him," ar
gued our hero, "that I should anticipate
hurtn from his hands?"
"What injury ?" they both responded.
"Did. you not visit Kliza. Uoyor this al
teruoou ? Wasn't that alone enough to
sting him iu his dearest iutcrest ? How
do you know but he has sceu her since
and found all ??learned that she loves
Arthur Aiustou ? What if she told him,
wo say ?''
"You talk wisely," replied Arthur
rather soriousl/. "Jiut he is waiting for
mo, and I must rejoin him."
"Let us accompany you," solicitously
petitioned his friends.
"No," Arthur replied. "He shall not
think, me a coward. If he designs tak
ing any advantago over me, I shall trust
to my good forluue to make me his equal.
I havo never yet failed in an omcrgoucy
to defend myself successfully. I am
much obliged to you fellows ; but Bit j
still. I will be with you again direct

his friends said to the other, "I havo a
presentment that Henry's business with
Arthur menus harm. I wish that ho
Ind consented for us to follow him."
"I too," unid the other. "Let's atroll
dowu stiiits any how, and if anything
serious comes out of it, wo will bo able
to hear it "ooncr than if wo worti to re
J main up here."
I As" Arthur's guests got down stairs
they could justaco their friend and Hen
ry going up Coinrncroo .Street.
Walking out upon tho street, they fol
dowed ; closoly in tho wake of tho two
After Arthur and lloury had walked
several hundred yards up tho street, the
former halted.
"If," said tho former to Henry, "you
have business with mo, let mo know its
nature right here. I will not budgo
another foot forward until I know for
what purpose I am following you. Suro
ly, sir, if you havo any matter of serious
cuuatdcratiou to .speak with me about,
you can do it hero 11 as further on.
I am at your pleasure."
Arthur uttered thtSp? words in a firm
and determined man
Henry turned and: looted nur horn
keenly in tho face, apparently undecid
ed what to soy.
"I am waiting, M*. Henry," said
Arthur. "And I demnad air an expla
nation of your conduct. If I have
offended you in any Wjf, I am certainly
able and willing to give you satiafuction.
But you might ask for it as a gentle
man."

anger. He seemed to'have discovered
