THIS AC UK RY SELP.PU.MSIIEI). '^There have been a good many bur? glaries of late, Tho mas," said Mr. Thorn? ton, ns ho wits about leaving the bank for the day, "and I have been thinking it might bo well if you remained here of nights for the present-especially ns one of the ?ntranos keyB is missing, and may have gotten into wrong bands." "? have been thinking that same my? self, sir,*' Thomas answered. "I can lie on the lounge there, you see, in the back office, quite com fort nb! o like." "And sleep through a dozen safe ex? plosions, most likely, and never loso n snore." ''Never fear, air; tho stirring of n mouse wakes nie." "Well, take this revolver, then; I sup? pose you know how to use it?" Thomas hoped he did; boped he hadn't been four years in the army without learning that much. And so Thomas was left on guard, and the rich banker, who had out-stayed all his clerks this evening, took his de? parture. Mr. Thornton was a widower, having an only eon, whom he had set his heart on marrying to a ward of bis, a young heiress, whoso fortune had lost nothing under his management, the fruits of which he wonld have been loth to see reaped by a stranger. But Mary Burton had a will, as well as a heart of her own, and naturally felt that the former was entitled to some share in the disposal of the latter. Sbo esteemed Edward Thornton, but nh o both loved and esteemed Lawrence Ridge ly, and that made a mighty difference. As for the young men, they were both her adorers, though Edward knew bis snit was hopeless, and had long ceased io press it. There was even a warm friendship between himself and his riva). They had been class-mates aud com? panions in the days when Lawrence Ridgeley's father was a prosperous mer? chant, whose son was little likely ever to be under the necessity of earning his bread, as he was now doing, in tho po? sition of a hard-worked clerk in the banking houso of Abel Thornton. That gentleman, we have said, had sot his heart on the marriage of bis son to his ward, and he was not slow in disco? vering that Lawrence Bidgely was a se? rious impediment to his plaDS-an im? pediment which he would have gladly removed without being over-Bcrupulous as to the means, for he was a hard and cruel man to those whom he conceived to stand in his way. Before Lawrence Ridgely left tho bauk on the evening in question, ho received directions from Mr. Thornton to meet the latter in his library, after tea, to as? sist in the preparation of some foreign correspondence to go out by next day's steamer. The young clerk was on hand at thc appointed time. He wrote, nt his em? ployer's dictation, till a late hour, when it became necessary to tho further pro? gress of their work, to consult some papers, which Mr. Thornton remember? ed he had left on the desk in his private room at the bank. As there was no getting on without the absent papers, Ridgeley offered tc go and bring them. Mr. Thornton ap? peared pleased with his promptness, and apologized with unusual civility for ac? cepting the offer. Lawrence at once set out on his er? rand. He was wailing at a crossing for the next street-car, when Edward Thorn? ton accosted him: "Whioh way so late?" "I am going to tho bank," said Law? rence, "for a package of papers which your father wishes to consult to? night." "Ah! that reminds me-I will nave you the trip, with your permission. ] forgot a parcel there this afternoon which I will need in ihn morning; so, if yon will tell me where the papers aro to be found, I will do your errand and mine at the same time." "But I could bring your parcel." "Yon would never be ablo to find it, or to know it if yon did; I'm tho worst possible band at descriptions and dircc tiona. So give me the door-key, and tel mo whe.ro tho papers aro." . "They ure on your father's desk," soi?: Lawrence, handing him the key; and jusl Near?yjuvnour wou?oVbe required to go to the batik ?dd return; aa? Lawrenoe in?nitoly preferred a stroll in the.bright, moon-lightiopatisihg iae time iq 'Mr,' Thornton's sombre company. A short walk brought him to one of those beautiful eon ares, which, here and there, like oasbd in a desert, relieve the monotony of this peopled wilderness. The walks were now quite deserted, nnd everything was still, save the murmur of a fountain, whoso dancing spray, as it sparkled in the shimmering light, de? veloped a series of tints, varied ns tho hues of hope and changeless only in their beauty. pA.ll lovers are poetic. No wondor, tuen, that Lawrence Ridgeley, under the enchantment of such a scene, sat and dreamed away an hour before he had thought it well begun. But the striking of a clock recalled him from his rovory, and ho knew it was time to return to his employer, who, he feared, had already been kept waiting. Mr. Thornton met him with a lowering and sinister look, iu which a tinge of disappointment waa visible. ..Well, have you brought the paper? You have taken your time, nt least." ..I have not been at the bank, sir; Edward-*' Mr. Thornton's face was like marble. "Edward! what of Edward?" he ex? claimed, frantio with excitement. Lawrence briefly explained how it had happened that Edward had gone to the bank in his stead. Simple as was the recital, tho listener seemed paralyzed at it. He clutched at tho nearest object for support. Then recovering himself with a desperate effort, ho rushed toward tho door; but before reaching it, his steps wero arrest? ed by a violent ringing of the bell. "Great God!" he cried, "it is too late!" And he sank shivering into a seat, and covered his face with his hands. Lawrence opened the door, and a stranger presented himself. "Can I seo Mr. Thorutou?" he in? quired. Lawrence conducted him to his em? ployer's presence. "I bring you sad news, Mr. Thorn? ton." But tho messenger might have ?pared himself tho trouble of telling it. Nono knew better than Abel Thornton that tho snare which he had spread for another's life had proved destructive to that of his child. He had intended that Lawrence Ridgeley, entering the bank at an unseasonable hour, without know? ing any ODO was on watch, nnd conse? quently taking no care to aunounco him? self, should be fired on and slain as a burglar. Everything had worked as ho had planned, but the victim was his own son! Insanity is n boon when it brings for? getfulness of ills too grievous to be borne; bnt not such is the insanity which now consigns Abel Thornton to a ma? niac's cell. Ghastly visions of his crime are ever present to haunt his waking, and still more horribly to torment his sleeping hours. Charleston Advertisements. Shaw's Cotton Seed Huller.
