It was not on a first impulse, but after due reflection, that I, George Dunning, articled derk in tho office of Messrs. Butler A Clark, solicitors, decided on retaining the bank note which I found behind my desk. My first impulse, I need hardly say, was to carry it to one of the ?rm, with an explanation of the way in which I had discovered it. For "the money was certainly not mine; rand I hope I was a sufficiently honest " man, if a poor one, to scout the idea of keeping what did not belong to me. So, as I say, my first thought .waa to carry it to one of my chiefs tho earliest thing next morning, and -to relate how, moving my desk in a search after a favorite pen whioh had . ?lipped behind it and the wall, I had come upon this Bank of England v note amid the dust and scraps there .accumulated. But second thoughts brought - doubt, and perhaps a grain of sel? fishness. Suppose, I argued to myself, (the rest of the clerks were gone for the night; I had the office to myself, and plenty of leisure for reflection,) suppose this money does not belong to Bustler & Clark moro than to myself? They have only tenanted this office for about two years, and the note is dusty enough to have lain between the desk end the wall for eight or ten years. Then Bastler & Clark took the furniture as . it stands, oo moving in. It is possi? ble the note may have lain there all the time. If they had lost it, I should sorely have heard something of it. AH things considered, I may have a right to keep the money with? out forfeiting my claim to be an hon? est fellow; at all events, I shall acquire that right if I convince my? self that the note never belonged to . Bustler & Clark. Thinking it out thus, I again som ' tinized the valuable scrap of tissue paper in my hand. Upon first find . mg it, I had thought it was some trash as Tom, onr office boy, waa ac - customed to purchase, in the street. ? Tom waa forever buying cheap pen? knives, which would not cut; cheap cast-iron cannons, whioh burst witt " the first discharge. And a favorite s "bargain of Tom's was to spend a pen : ny in a curious assortment of useless articles, including four brass rings, t .sham breastpin, a counterfeit sove reign, a printed puzzle, a couple o! ballads, and a not? for five pounds or the "Bank of Elegance." Therefore I thought my treasure trove might be ono of Tom's precious Bank ol Elegance notes. Yet it was no sham paper money, mine; bnt a promise to pay, sign?e on behalf of the Governor and Com pany of the national establishment Number 07,482-and for 500 pounds Trembling with the hope of sc sudden' an aceession to fortune more wealth than I had ever ownec at once-and with the fear of losing it as suddenly, I rc-opencd the safe whioh it was my duty to lock al night, and took out the bill-book Herein I knew the numbers of al bank-notes were entered which passel through the hands of the firm. I 07,482 had ever belonged to Bustloi and Clnrk during the last five years I should find a record of it in a spe cial portion of the bill-book appor tioncd to Bank of England notes. I ran my eye down the money columns looking out for live hundred pounds A chill sense of disappolntmen struck me as I came upon the en tn opposite a date of some eighteei months baok. Number 07,482 ha< passed through tho hands of Bustle and Clark. Moreover, it stood re corded as having been paid away U William Wylde; and there was a mar ginal note attached: "See letter o iustruotion from Theophilns Lang 'brace, Esquire," with number nm date quoted. Hore waa a mystery at the outsel Number 07,482 had been paid t William Wylde eighteen months agc and yot I had it in my hand, hunted np the letter of instruotio referred to,among the tied-up correi pondonoe of a oouple of years bacs The entry was correct. I found th letter of Theophilus Langbraco, on of tho firm's clients, anthorizin Messrs. Bustler and Clark to pa William Wylde the sum of five hut dred pounds, "in discharge of a claims" on Theophilns Langbraot and further requiring Messrs. Busth and Clark to obtain Wylde's rccoij in full for the amount I remembered Wylde now. shabby fcU0MrV!^fctt filled secondary porta at ? trauapoutine theatre, and ?who frequented a tavern at which our office-boy Tom A woe too often seen. BVwas in Toni*s presonco that I liad met Wylde, in whom ? little to admiro or even to tolerate. A boastful, truculent man ho seem? ed at the best, much given to gin and to an inordinate estima? tion of his abilities, which were moro patent to himself than to the mana? ger. He had married, as I learnt from Tom on tho first introduction, above his station; in fact, it was said that his wife had been n lady, the daughter of onr clieut, Tbeophilus Langbrace. How Wylde's vulgar manner nud loud assertiveness bad fascinated ber was a mystery which the lady would nover answer now, for she was dead. It has been an ill sorted uuiou; and Wylde, who had received somo assistance from his father-in-law during his wife's life? time, fell into worse ways after her death, and grew more druukou, more dissipated, and more arrogant. This, then, was tho person for whom the note for five hundred pounds had evidently been intended, and who appeared in our books as having received number 07,482. That he had never come into jiosses sion of his due, the obvious gift of his father-in-law, was proved by the note in my possession. The mystery was not to be cleared up that night, it was certain; so I determined to wait till next day and question old Graham. Old Graham was a olerk in the em? ploy of Bastler & Clark," a fellow worker of mine, with whom we younger fellows held little commu? nion. He was a shy, little, broken down, prematurely old man, whose retiring habits and general timor? ousness left nothing in common be? tween him and tho rest, and who made few acquaintances. The younger men spoke of old Graham with a haif pitying, half-contemptuous tone, ac one whose ways of life did not consorl with tho ardent spirits who enjoyed existence on eighty pounds a year. 1 believe I understood the old mau besl of all my colleagues. We were good friends, for beneath that shy ano shambling exterior he possessed r kind heart, and ho had a treasure ii his homo, of which the rollicking young bloods at Bustler Sc Clark'! never dreamt. I alone could csti mate that treasure. I alone was < welcome guest in the modest ground flour at Kennington, and knew hov much beauty and geutbj worth wen represented in Kute Graham. RTj intimacy with her father had taugh me this, and the knowlege sooi brought a warmer feeling. Seeinj how dear she was to him, I had com to hope for a time when I should sup plant him in her care and love, knew that I was welcome in th household, (it consisted but of him self and her,) and I left the rest t time and constancy. As matter stood, I was too poor to marry, unti the discovery of the five kundre pound note awakoned a bono which determined should only be realize' according to the dictates of stric honesty. At 9 o'clock on the morning aft? the discovery, old Graham appeare at his desk, punctual as St. Paul's I entered into a careless conversatior and at last broached the subject c the payment to Wylde. "You have been in the office a lon itme, Mr. Graham," I said; "do yo happen to remember a man who use to come about here named, if I r< member right, Wylde-Wm. Wylde? He turned a cadaverous color, an his fingers wandered aimlessly to hi scanty gray hair. "What-what do you know uboi Wylde?" ho asked, in his timid mar ner. "I? O, very little. I know he an actor, that's all. Ho used to gi money paid him on behalf of oi clients, did ho not?" I answerec carelessly. "I-I don't know; it is not my di partment. I don't pay money, nover heard of him," said Graban nervously. "No, I suppose not. Perhaps M Mardon will know," I replied. Mr. Mardon was oitr cashier. Tl old man grew moro agitated than b fore. "Yon had better not ask him," 1 returned, hastily. "Mr. Murdo does not like to bo troubled with sue -with these aimless questions. Wh busines is it of yours?" "O, nono; I morely asked. Th? he did get tho monoy?" I punnet pointedly. "Yes, yes, of course-at least, don't know. I never heard of hit it is not my department. Go to yoi desk. " It was evident ho know, but wou not toll. Under his nervous shat bling manner that faot was apparen Equally apparent was it that nothir could be got out of him farther tin what he had unconsciously disclose I bothered him no more, but went < with ray daily work, aud town evening, when the office was closiu I approached him again. "Are you going straight home, al Graham?" I asked. "Yea, George, yea; I am gob home." "If you have no objection, I w walk that way with you." "Certainly; I shall be glad. < course, George-come with me by i means." We walked^WilfltoF'tfHI^ ! house at Kennington, discoursing oft different topics. I Aras careful not to alarm him with" to? hasty a reference i to the subject of the morning, for I k ne vf his nature, and how liable he was to take fright, and how he could be if sharply questioned. Besides, I did not care to offend him. The regard of his daughter was too valua? ble for that. She met us at the door, with a kiss for her father and a warm smile for me. What a bright-eyed, glad-heart? ed, round little divinity she wast With such alight in my home leonid not have envied old Bustler himself, with a wife in May Fair of many pounds avoirdupois, and three stately daughters who might have sat sen? tries at tho Horse Guards. And whou she brought us into a trimly-ordered parlor, which her taste had rendered attractive beyond tho landlady's rosi? est dreams of luxury, und presided over a pleasant arrangement of the cups and saucers and water cresses, a very Hebe of the tea-board, I thought wistfully of Wylde's bank-note in my pocket, and of all tho comfort it could purchase to lay at my darling's feet, After tea, her father loft us for a moment together. It was an oppor? tunity not to bo lost, if I would learn whether she knew anything of what was evidently within old Graham's knowledge, and what he would not disclose. I drew my chair close to hers. "Kate," I began, "I want to ask you something in confidence." She moved back hastily. "I am afraid, George, we musn't have any confidences-at least, if they aro very particular." "Why, Kate, dear?" I asked, in some astonishment. "What do you mean?" "O, don't call me that," she cried in a distressed way; "there must bc no more of that between you and me." "But, Kate! Are wo not good friends?" "O yes, yes; but friends only, Don't look unhappy; I didn't mear to wound you; but indeed, you musl be guarded, for your own sako ant mine, in the feeling with which yoi regard me." "Guarded! Good heavens, why?" "Because," answered Kate, with ? sob which sho strove hard to stifle "because I am going to be married.' In the suddenness with which th? blow fell upon mo I did not notic< that the door had opened, and that i tall, sallow-faced man stood conten? plating us. A harsh, sneering voici woko me from my misery. "It is well you have made the an nouncement to our young frionc here," said the new-comer sarcasti cally; "it is well that he and all sud interlopers should know they an trespassing upon private preserve when they make free with my pro per ty." I started up in undisguised trepi dation. "Your property, Mr. Mur don I" I cried. "Do you mean t say that you aro going to-that yoi have the right to say this?" I had never liked our sallow-face? cashier; at that moment I positive! hated him. He was a tall, corpulen man of fivo-and-thirty, with a yellow skin and yellow whiskers, whia! would not grow on his cheeks, bu wandered aimlessly down his lon neck, and ended somewhere out c sight. Ho had an execrable taste i dress, for ho wore pale yellow shh collars, which matched villainousl with his hair and face, and a cree scarf. His short coateo and bagg trousers hung from, rather tba clothed, his ungainly stoutness. H had a halt when he walked. His fee tures might have been handsome br. for a sneer which always played o them when ho spoke, and n look t unhappiness which sat on them whe ho was silent. Evidently an ill-nt tured man, whoso temper tormente himself as much as it aunoyc others. "I don't know about the right, m young friend," said Mr. Murdoi grimly, "but I have the power, whic is quite sufficient for your bool Tell this fellow the same, Kate, au let him go." Sho was too deeply agitated to coi firm his insolent words, as I look i her with a heavy heart. Tho eashu swung himself into a chair, and ac mired tho big check pattorn on h legs. "Well," he asked, suddenly "why don't you go?" "I don't recognize your right, si to demand it. You aro not yet tl: muster in this house. If Miss Gri ham, here, wishes-" "No, no, George," she cried, ten fully; and added, in an under-torn "don't leave me with him." She did not love him then. Thei was some chilly comfort in that, smiled and sat down. "Egad, if you don't make a clea ing, I'll let you see whether I'm ma ter or not," exclaimed Murdon, h evil face darkening. At that m< ment old Graham re-entered tl room. "O, you're here nt last-are you 5 cried Mm dou. "What do you mea by lotting a parcel of puppies ove run the house, and poison the ear < your daughter, oh?" The nervous old man trembled. 1 didn't-didn't mean-you know Gei Dunning, sir." "Know George Dunning!" Mu don onswored with a sneer. "Yes, \ do know George Donning. I know ko is not an associate I should ohooan for my wife." The coarseness of his manner, even more than the insolence of his words, stung Katn in tho midst of her agi? tation. "I am not your wife yet, Mr. Mur don,"' she exclaimed, "and never will be, if this tono oontinues. You are harsh, cruel, impertinent; yon have not the right to treat me so, and I won't be so treated! Don't Bpeak to mo father; I would do anything for you-make any sam i fice, but I can? not forego all self-respect. When he looks and talks tims, I despise him." Her magnificent scorn lighted up her face with a beauty I had never seen before. The big bully before her was cowed for a moment, and then rose from his chair in suppressed rage. "O, very good," he said between his teeth; "I'il leave you to entertain your friends here with your fine tra gody airs. As for yon, Mr. Graham," turning to tho trembling old mau, "wo can settle this matter between us quietly. You kuow where to find me. My lodgings are in Wylde street, seven thousand four hundred and eighty-two. The same as before: I never move." Tho words, spoken with significant emphasis, struck us like a knell. On mo they fell with startling effect, coming after the discovery of the last night. What could they mean ? Beforo I conld recover, he was gone. "O Kate, Kate, Kate," cried her father, "you havo ruined me! O deary, deary me! What have you done? how conld you? and he sham? bled ont after Murdon in manifest trepidation. I heard him overtake the cashier in tho passage, and I distinguished Murdon's angry voice. I turned to Koto, who was palo and weeping. " Kate, what does all this mean? Why are yon going to marry this man? What does ho mean by bis reference to Wylde and seven thousand four hundred and eighty-two?" "Hush, hush, George-never say those words. O, listen! aro they quarreling?" I stole to tho door and listened. They were speaking under their voices, but their excitement made some of the words audible. I heard tho old man murmui*, "As heaven bears witness above us, I never stole the money." " I know nothing about that," re? plied the cashier's scoffing voice. "I only know it never reached its desti? nation, and I know the worth of tho receipt I hold." " And you swear to give it me baok?" "On the day when you fulfill your part of the bargain." 1 closed the door softly, and re? turned to Kate. "Tell me one thing, Kate. This Wylde-this money-" "If you love me, George," she cried in terror, "never speak of Wylde or of monoy. You do not know the dangc you might bring down on my fatber's head and mine." "Well, I will not speak of it," I answered calmly; "but tell me some? thing else. Yon do not love the man that has left us?" "Love him!" "And yet you ore about to marry him?" "I must. I cannot help myself. You do not know." "Kate-dearest Kate! If thisdan ger were removed; if this man's spite-for it is spite whioh animates him, not love-were nullified; if he could work neither you nor your fa? ther any harm; would you-could you-be brought to love somebody else?" "She sobbed, but did not reply. I took her yielding hand in mino; I kissed away her tears; and her father, returning, found us thus, and broke into a passionate exclamation. She glided to his side, hung over him, smoothed his gray hair, and murmured she would do anything in the world for his sake. Father and daughter wept together. It was no scene for an onlooker, and, without a farewell, I stolo out into tho night air to cool my brain and to think.
