NTJMBECK 07,489.
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.
