"Ruined! why, Robert, what can have

"And to I am, my lore; but in an unluck v

HWby have you not told me of this before,
"I wished not to pain you, love."
"I fear you have been imprudent; nay, I
will not reproach you."

"My own true wife I
This conversation occurred at the house of
a young New York shopkeeper. lie had
been married to a young, gon tie-hearted girl
only a year before, during which period they
had lived in uninterrupted happiness.
The young wife liad no suspicion that the
clouds of adversity were lowering over their
joyous home until her husband had communicated
the fact. For some woeka, however,
nhe had noticed that Robert was more than
usually dull. Unco or twice a week be had
absented himself from her side in the even*
ing, alleging thrt be had business demanding
bis attention.
Angoline Wilson, at the time of ber marriage,
was the possessor of a small sum of
money, bequeathed to her by ber father. It
bad been settled upon ber so that ber husband
could not control it, nnd could spend
no portiouofit without ber sanction.
Ihe young shopkeeper's business bad prospered
beyond bis most sanguine expectations,
so thnt bis devoted wi&, who would
willingly have placed her little fortuno in his
hands, saw uo occasion to withdraw it from
her uucle, in whose bands it was not only
deemed to be safely invested, but was producing
a handsome interest.
Robert Wilson wan a whole souled young
man, without a selfish thought in bin composition.
Ho had married Angelina for
herself alone, and had hardly bestowed a
thought upon her portion.
But the "bud speculation" had worried Lira
exceedingly. All tho ready money ho could
command had been exhausted, and in his
extremity, the thought had occurred to him
that his wife could supply his wants. Tho
idea of asking her for relief, was, to a man of
?.! . _ ? 1 .
ma uigtiairuug icuiperameui, bo nigniy repugnant,
that lie ouly hud the courage to
hint at the servico she might render him.
CHAPTER U. *
With the money in bis pocket, which
1 Angely had procured for hira, Robert Wilson
hastened down Broadway. At the cor
nor of Park Tlace he pausod, and cast a furtive
glance around him. Evidently much
agitated. He thought of his loving wife at
home.
He had deceived her, and his conscience
smote him. She was all lore and gentleness,
and sincerity and confidence, and he
had basely deceived her.
Should he not return, throw himself at
her feet, and beg her forgiveness I Such a
courso was certainly the most grateful to his
erring, penitent soul; but he had made a
"bad speculation," nud while there was hope
of retrieving himself, the demon of mammon
within prompted him to sin again.
Turning down Park Place, he entered
one of those gambling hells, which are the
curse of enlightened America. Again he
paused on the steps of the mAgnificont establishment,
to silence the upbraidiug of his
conscience. The beautiful, loving expression
of his wife, languishing away the tedious
hours of his absence in lonely misery, haunted
him.
But the usunl consolation, the oft-repented
resolution of tho erring soul: "Only this
time, and then I will forever abandon tho
way of the transgressor," came to urge him
Oil.
By the gas-light in the street, ho observed
a dark form, closely muffled in the ample
folds of a Spanish clonk, approaching the
spot where he stood. The stranger paused
by his side, glanced intently at him, and
then entered the saloon.
llwfollowed him ; the hall flashed with
brilliant lights, and the gay and fashionble
of the metropolis thronged the scene. Mon
smiled as though tho place was not the gate
of hell itself. The old and respectable of the
Hnr nn/i tirum *nrl (ha aralianmi warn
there, countenancing, by their presence and
exainhle, the iniquity practiced within thoee
gilded walk.
Robert Wilton shuddered aa be entered
the saloon. Yet why should he shrink from
a scene, in which the roepeotable men of the
community hesitated not to mingle f
Poor, simple, young men I hie soul had
not yet eouie to believe that wealth, station,
and the honors of the world can satisfy sin
and hollow iniqiuity.
In an unguarded hour he had been lured
into a uden of thieves," by a man of good
standing in society?the importer from
whom he purchased many of hts goods, and
who held nia notes in payment of them.
He had hazarded a few dollars, though his
conscience smote him all the while, lie
won; he was in the hands of thoee who were ,
experienced in the management of unsuspecting
dupes. He went away with bis pockets
well lined with the fruits of his unhallow.J
.
eu gums.
Inflated by the ambition to become suddenly
rich, no went again, and again ba
won. i
The devil lured bim on. With a firm
resolution to abandon these visits when he
should have added the gains of ono more
night to bis previous accumulation, ho went
i l 5,
a third time. If he succeeded on ttmocca'
sion as he bad on the two previous nights,
he should be able to par the only noto he
owed. The prospect of freeing himself entirely
from debt, suddenly and without labor
tempted him to engage once more in the exciting
game.
But the gamblers had permitted him to
run the whole length of his rope. On the
third night he lost?lost all he had beforo
won I
All his fine fancies were dashed to the
ground. But the hope of freeino himself
from debt, had taken stronsr hold of his im. I
agination, and he could not easily resign it.
Again lie went, trusting that the chance*
of the game would again favor him?again
and again he went tilTall his available means
were sacrificed. The gamblers adroitly permitted
him to win a fow dollars occasionally,
and thus his hopes were kept buoyant.
AH were gone, but the passion of gaming
had gainod intensity as bis worldly goods
had melted away.
Uneasily he strolled among tho gambling
tables, now pausing to glance an instant at
the game, and then hurrying nervously on
again.
lie had two hundred dollars in his pocket
and?humilitating reflection!?it baa been
K'ven by bis wife. He must be careful of it;
> could hope for no more.
As ho paced tho gaily thronged hall he
discovered tho dark-looking stranger who
had confronted hiin at the entrnnce of the
saloon, alono, at one of tho marble tables.
Tho eye of the dark being suddenly rested
sharply upon him. It was a dark, deeply,
expressive blue eye?it seemed not unfamiliar
to hitn. The glance?be knew not
why?riveted hiru to the spot, and he stood
tremulously gazing at the stranger.
The coinplection of the mysterious personago
wes decidedly white. Ilis beard jet
blaok, entirely covered the sides and lower
t?art of the face, oven to llie <?nntmir ?li?
mouth. It was very long and curled gracefully
down over the chin. Over his head
he wore a cap, from beneath which, long,
black, glossy curls floated down over his coat
collar. In stature he waa below the medium
size.
CIIAPTEtfttl.
"Play !" anid the stranger, in a low, guttural
voico, not unmingled with softness.
Robert Wilson involuntary seated himself
opposite the dark beiug.
With his gloved hand the stronger placed
a fifty dollar bill on the table.
"Highest wins,1' aaid he laconically, as be
pushed the dice box over to Robort.
This was certainly an irregular game, and
an irregular method of proceeding ;?but it
waa simple, and in this respect was preferable
to him, so ho placed a corresponding
amount by the side of it.
Robert shook tho dice, and cast them upou
the table.
"Twelve," snid the stranger, as he shook
up the box and made his throw.
"Eighteen" continued ho, sweeping the
stakes from tho table.
The next throw Robert won. The Slake
was doubled ; ho won again. Maddened by
excitement ho placed nil tho money be bad
on tlio table. The dark visaged stranger,
without moving a muscle of his brow covered
it.
At ono fell swoop Robert was penniless
again!
Rising from the bible in aproxyisin ofdisap]>oiutment
he was about to rush from the
scene.
"Stay l" said tlio atranger.
MI have not a dollar," replied Robert bitterly.
44Your watch."
"No," replied Robert, firmly, "it it* mv
wife's."
"Your luck will change again."
The young roan hesitated.
"Sure, to change," continued the stranger.
With a desperate effort, Robert drew the
watch from his pocket.
"Sevonty-five dollars," said he, tremulouslv.
The stranger placed the amount on the
table.
The dice descended?Robert won 1
For several successive throws Lc won, but
staking all again ho was onco more penniless.
The watch was put down again?it was
lost! Robert was In despair.
"You have a wife?" said the stranger.
"I have?God forgive me!" replied the
ruined husband, in a burst of bitterness.
"Of courso, you love her not or you would
not bo hero," continued the strauger, carelessly.
"I do love her?as I lovo my own soul!"
exclaimed Robert, perplexed by tho singular
turn the conversation had taken.
Tho character of tho professional gambler
was too well knowu to him, not to suspect
that the dark stranger had some object in
view in these inquiries. These fearless tales
of gamblers who have staked money against
the honor of a wife, dashed across his mind,
and ho shuddered to think how near he
stood to the fatal precipice, which might hurl
him, in his madness, into doeper dishonor.
"You would have her know what you
have done ?" said the atraugur calmly.
"Not for tho world."

"You know rae. tlien 1" i
"No; you aro a shonkccpor."
"I will." j
The stranger threw him threo hundred i

v"Can we make it here," said Robert overwhelmed

"No; I will go to your house." '
"Impossible, not for the woild." '
"But I will /" said the stranger, sternly. '
"By heaven, you shall not." <
"Ilist! you shall be exposed."
Robert was obliged to consent, and borne >
down by the terrible agony that preyed up- i
on him, he conducted liis mysterious com- paniou
to his once happy homo. The clock
struck eleven as they entered. 1
"Your wife is not at lioino," said the ?
stranger. *
Robert was surprised to fiud that Angely '
was not in her accustomed scat by the tire.? 1
Full of painful misgivings, why he knew not,
i he hastoned to her apartment to sou if she
had retired ; there was no trace of her to be
discovered. 1
Returning to tlio silting room, he found \
the strange gambler seated by the tiro, intently
poring over the pages of a book he j
had taken from the centre tabic.

"Left me! no!" exclaimed Robert, casting 1
himself into a chair, and vcuting deep groans,
the anguish of his soul.
"The mortgage," continued the stranger, '
sharply. 1
"1 will write it in my room," replied the 1
young man, leaving the apartment. 1
Wiping away the tears which coursed in 1
great drops -down his haggard cheeks, he 1
picked out a blank mortgage from his papers,
and proceeded to fill it out. The task (
completed ho turned to the sitting room. '
As he opened the door, ho started back '
with astouishniont at boholding Angely seat- I
ed by the grate, roading tho last number of 1
Harper! 1
"Why, Robert, I did not know you had '
got home," said she, rising and placing a
chair before the fire whero his slippers lay,
ready for him to put his feet into.
The dark stranger was not there.
"What is tho matter with you, Robert, '
how strangely yon appear,"continued his wife. 1
"Do I!" and Robert started and looked
round him in wild amazcincut. Whore was 1

"I have been out awhile, (his evening, hut 1

than before. "Where is Mr. , tho gen- (

"I havo not seen any gentleman."
"I came in at eleven with?." ;
"What time is it now, Robert 1"
The watch?his wife's watch?it was gouc!
"Your watch?I left?"
"I have it; it is half-past eleven," said Angely,
taking the watch from her pocket.
"What is tho matter with you, Robort ?
you arc Crazy I should say."
"That watch"-?Robert paused.
"Well," said Angely, beginning to wear
a mysterious, mischievous look, "how goe.i (

"B;ully, my dear," replied Robert with a 1
look of wonder.

low, deep tones. '
"Who are you, sir? man or devil?who :
