Arthur came of an old, well-defined Hud respectable biock, witb juit enough of aristocratic pride inherited from his progenitons to give him refinement and -ell-reliance.

Thus was life opened for Arthur Gravely with bright ad? happy promisee, tiatl ti Oue enemy, and one enemy alone, at this time ?food in Arthur's path. His wife did not see it then. She loved him ?o ^?u^^^^ty ^ro^f^^y^3cou*^ A^Tcw of Arthur's friends feared dan ger, aud one of them more bold than the real, spoke to him warningly, but kindly ; ibut. he turned away, from the warning with a sneer of derision. From early youth Arthur Gravely bad found the wino cup among the symbol* of like'a social phone. He hud used it upon his sideboard and upon his table ; and ho-hpd partaken.freely abroad. (Ur thc carly ye?rs it was wine ana only vvTrnf of. tho beat, aud the purestw Later, stronger liquors wen: required to Seep up thc tone. At the tige of eight-and-tweu ty, there lind come an undue flush upon Arthur's cheek, and there were blotches in the eye which ought not to have been there.

Shortly after this, in process pf closing hi? bunine**, Mr. Vandcrlain sent Arthur to a distant city to make some important settlement. Arrived at his destination, the young man called upon the corres pondent of the hank, and having made the preliminary arrangement*, ho found himself with a'few days upon his hunda which bo might enjoy.
