of little use; and Mr. Nolen, after several
ups and downs, came down with some
what of a thump, to the extent of about
a third part of Ids total |iossessiona At
this juncture ho proved his exceptional
good sense and self control, for he never
risked another dollar in speculation
Neitlicr did ho reveal the fact of his losses,
which was at least prudent. But tlu«e
virtues could not save him from being
and feeling a good deal (>oorer than he
was before. He ow-nod tho house he
lived in, and continued to live in it; but
ho curtailed his expenses, and by strict
economy contrived to render them less
than his income. His sons would soon
be through college, and would then, it
was to be supposed, take caro of them
selves. It was for his daughter that ho
was saving, and ha hoped to leave her at
least a decent fortune after his death.
But other misfortunes were in store
for him. His oldest son. Jcrrold Nolen,
had graduated from college, and came
to New York to study medicine, living,
meanwhile, at his father’s house. He
was a young fellow of ability and agree
able manners, and was popular among
Ids fellows. His father was proud of
him, and treated him with partiality. It
soon became apparent that Jerrold was
rather inclined to dissipation; his sociable
nature had its detrimental side. This
was tho more unfortunate, inasmuch
as ho had a tendency to heart
disease, and was of an excitable
temperament. As this matter will
be dwelt on hereafter, it is enough
to say here that Jcrrold died under tragic l bare] - h to liv ; c^,^- on .

'•That is all I ask!” Mrs. Nolen ex
claimed.
“I have no doubt of it, my dear,” an
swered the judge with a smile. “ But in
this connection there is something that
I wish to impress upon you very strongly.

no sinecure.
Of the countless dramas and episodes
that come to his knowledge, many can
not be told again; and many, if told,
would not be credited, so different from
the strangeness of fiction is the strange
ness of md life. On tho other hand, not
a few of these tales can be repeated with
out indiscretion, and, in all substantial
respects, precisely ns they actually came
to pass. Sueh narratives have one ad
vantage over the conceptions of the im
agination, that they are a record of facts,
not fancies, and carry tho authority and
impressiveness of fact But they also
labor under a disadvantage which, per
haps, more than balances tho gain of
reality; for facts ore stubborn, aud ac
commodate themselves but awkwardly
to the rules of artistic construction and
symmetry. Like rocks in a New Eng
land farm, they arc continually cropping |
up where they are least wanted. And
yet it'frill sometimes happen that nature
so nearly accommodates herself to art
that the story assumes a tolerable grace
and proportion; and such a one is con
tained in the pages that follow. But,
although the sequence and cliaractcr of
the events has been adhered to, the names
of the [icrsons are changed; fertile affair
took place but a short while since, and
nearly all tho actors in it are still alive,
ami several of them moving in the liest
society in New York.
• • •••••■
Mr. Bart emus Nolen was a representa
tive of a good Now Y’ork family, and
was possessed of comfortable means; by
profession ho was a lawyer. Ho was a
member of the Episcopalian church, and
lie married, at the outset of his career, a
lady of the same persuasion, a woman
of excellent education and gentle and
benevolent disposition. Tho (irst twenty
years of their married life passed hap
pily and prosperously; two sons were
born to them, and a few years later a
daughter, Pauline. Mr. Nolen achieved
honor and cmiuenco in his profession; '
the boys did well In school and after- ;
word at college, and tho daughter gave
promise of singular intelligence and
beauty—a proorse which was afterward
fulfilled.
But at length the current of luck took
a turn, and began to set against the
honest lawyer. He was affected with a
cataract in one of his eyes, whiefi had
not proceeded far when the other also
showed signs of being affected; this mis
fortune was a serious drawback to his
practice, and finally compelled him to
abandon it almost entirely. Of course,
practice meant money, and tho cessation
from it diminution of income. There
was still enough left, however, to live
upon with comfort, if not luxuriously;
unfortunately Mr. Nolen, being do
ry mental employ*
took to thinking of other things;
medical studies. His death, besides
bringing bitter grief to his father and
mother, led to legal proceedings against
a person supposed to have been instru
mental in compassing his destruction-
proceedings which led to no good re
sults, and involved a largo expense. Mr.
Nolen never recovered from the shock
and disappointment of Ins eldest son's
sudden end; and in little more than a
year afterwards the morning papers con-
i tainod respectful but brief notices of his
! decease.
His will was admitted to probate; it
devised twenty thousand dollars to Ids
son Percy Nolen when tho latter should
come of age; tho remainder was settled
upon Mrs. Nolen, with certain pre-isos
in the event of Paulino’s marrying with
her mother’s approval. Percy’s bequest
was intended to start him in business, ho
having shown a tendency to take up
mining, engineering as a pursuit. Ho
too was an intelligent boy, and left col
lege in good standing as to scholarship,
but his character resembled Jerrold’s in
its lack of firmness and persistent en
ergy; while, unlike Jerrold, he was of a
selfish disposition. After graduating
and coming into possession of his patri
mony, ho announced his intention of
postponing for a wliile his professional
studies and seeing a littlo of metropoli
tan life. This made his mother anxious,
remembering tho Unhappy career of her
older son, but she interpreted Percy’s de
sign in the manner most favorable to
him, as simply a wish to become prac
tically familiar with tho ways and man
ners of good society.
Percy’s original purposes may, indeed,
have contemplated no more than that;
but that was far from bring tho limit of
what ho actually did. His advances to-
vvards_the best society were neither con
siderable nor prolonged. For a few
months ho went to darners and recep
tions and dancod at balls, but it soon be
came evident that ho was getting inti-
mato with a class of people who, by no
stretch of courtesy, could bo counted
among the upper ten. These were chiefly
young men who dressed well, had dash
aud assurance of manner and were com
monly to be met with on fashionable
thoroughfares, in the corridors and bil
liard rooms of tho best hotels, on base
ball grounds and raco. tracks, and, to
wards the small hours of tho night, at
certain restaurants and other places of
resort moro remarkable for brilliance and
liveliness than for respectability, in
which tho company ceased to bo ex
clusively masculine and was yet not im
proved by the alteration. "
choice, and this was the class with which
ho choso moro and more to associate.
They were, as a class, not wealthy; nev
ertheless to be with them was no* neces
sarily to be economical; neither did it
involve regular habits Or early hours.
Before long Percy was convinced that
the sort of life he was leading was not
compatible with making A home under
his mother's roof; so ho took bachelor
rooms on the west side of the city, and
went to bed and got up at what o’clock
it best, pleased him. He did not keep
look upon that as being as good as gone;
it is only a question of time, and no very
long time. Until it is gone U is no use
attempting to influence him. So much
for thatl But now, my dear Mary,” con
tinued tlie judge, changing his tone, “I
wish to speak to you on another matter
of no small moment to you, to myself—
and to Paulinel”
T
of your household. No, If we are to
take exceptions to him, it must bo from
another standpoint. What do you know
about Ida personal history and his social
standing in his own country?"
“I suppose it must bo good," said Mrs.
Nolen. “I think he said that his family
owned a large estate in Cumberland.”
“Is he the eldest son?"
“Tlie next to the eldest, I believe.”
“And what is his business in Amer
ica’"
“I don’t know. But a great many En
glish people come here nowadays, you
know. It is a part of their education.”
“Yes; but somo of them are pretty
well educated before they get here," re
marked the judge dryly, “and occasion
ally they manage to teach us something
before they leave. There is in England
tho same difference between an eldest
son and tho other sons that there is be
tween a rich man and a pauper. By tho
law of primogeuituro the estates, and I
generally tho bulk of the money, goes to
tho first born; the other boys get posi
tions, if they can, in the army, the civil
service or the church. They are seldom
fitted to enter the learned professions, system.
H rod good form for a
gentleman’s son to go into trada Of
course tho army and the church don’t
afford accommodation for all applicants,
and the consequence is that every year a
number of young Englishmen are thrown
on the world, who by training and inclina
tion are good for nothing but io be idle
and ornamental, and who nevertheless
have no means for honestly leading such
a life. They form a class of gentleman
adventurers. They are men of agreeable
manners and culture, talk well, look
well, are excellent at cards and billiards,
and live no one knows how. Somo of
them come over here for reasons known
only to themselves; they are very j ’
ant acquaintances, but it is well i. o
trust them too far. They have no l.xed
place in tho world and no responsibility.”
“You don’t mean that Mr. Martin is—
an adventurer?" demanded Mrs. Nolen,
in a voice of faint consternation.
“So far as I know he may bo the best
fellow in England. But I know nothing
about him ono way or tho other. How
did Percy became acquainted with him?"
“Ho met him somewhere—at some
club, I imagine.”
“That may be all right, or it may not.
At all events, you will seo that you should
proceed with some circumspection. Tho
rules that cpply to our young men do
not necessarily apply to foreigners. Mr.
Martin may bo much better educated,
to Qo is to icavo nor to iiiki you out ror
herself.’'
“If Mr. Martin be my rival,” resumed
tho judge, “lot lilm have his chance and
defeat me if ho can. If he be the better
man it will api>tar; and Ood forbid that'
1 should make her my wife knowing that
she would havo been happier with an
other But if love go for anything. 1
love her well, and In all my life she is the
first and only woman I have loved.”
“You might have rivals more danger
ous than Mr. Martin,” returned the
mother, with another smile, and so the
interview came to a close.

an expectant air.
“Paulino is now
eighteen years
old,” the latter
observed. “As 1
look back, it
seems impossible,
but so it is. I re
member her as an infant lying in your
arms; aud it does not seem to me that 1
have changed much since then. And yet
Pauline is a woman, and has more char
acter and substance, too, than many a
woman of twice her ago. What miracles
time works!"
“She is the best girl in the world!” said
the mother tenderly.
“I am much Inclined to agree with
you,” responded the judge.
“She is so strong, so clear sighted, so
faithful and upright,” pursued Mrs.
Nolen. “And yet there is nothing cold
or unsympathetic about her. When her
emotions are touched, she seems all fire
and spirit I am sure nosistcr ever loved
her brother, nor any daughter her moth
er, as Paulino loves Percy and me.”
“I can well believe it And have you
ever seen signs in her of another sort of
love—not that of the daughter or tho sis
ter?’
“Oh, I am afraid to think of thatl” re
turned Mrs. Nolen, pressing her white
hands nervously together. “It is so eas v
for a girl to mako a mistake; and for her
a mistake would be fatal 1”
“I think she lias good sense enough
not to fall into any serious error," said
tho judge, “though I am uo less per-
»» v. „„„ that, if She loved a man who in
Percy had his hbnself was worthy of her, she would
y allow no considerations of merely selfish
prudence to prevent her union with him.
But I was going to ask you," ho added,
with a certain subdued anxiety in liis
deep toned voice, “whether it lias come
to your knowledge—whether you have
any reason to think that she lias already
met any ore who—whom she would be
likely to prefer to any one else?”
“I have not thought of it—it has not
occurred to me I” said Mrs. Nolen, with
an accent of apprehension, looking at the
judge with wide open eyes.
“It is hardly too soon to take such a
away from homo altogether; ho would
drop tn now and then, when nothing else possibility into consideration,” be re-
was going on, sometimes to lunch, somo- turned. “Pauline is mature for her age;

“Yes, yes, you are right,” said the
mother. “Now that you speak of it, 1
seo that sueh a thing may hapiien But
she lias spoken to me of no one, and 1
am sure she would have spoken if
“Do not trust too much to that,” he
interposed. “A young girl, with a mind
as healthy and pure as hers, does not

meaning to come back to them. Ho was
living a fast life, and not tho best kind of

a while. “Percy has a good deal of un

will probably work It off In his own
fashion. His father gave him his money
without conditions or restrictions, hop
ing tliat tho sense of responsibility would
sober him; but it will need moro than
that He will spend it—that is, throw it
into tho gutter—and then we may look
for the dawning of reason in him.”
“I am sure he is a good boy,” said his
mother. “Ho is only fall of life and
thoughtless.”
"There is no reason to suppose him
actually vicious,” the judge replied,
“and, that being the case, we may expect
that the want of money will bring him
to terms. I donot look to see his father’s
son commit any act that will bring him
under the cognizance of the law; he is, I
take it, incapable of any dishonesty;
consequently, when he becomes bank
rupt, he must do one of three things:
either he will sit down and starve like a
gentleman, or he will find some employ*
ment lhat will give him a living, or he
will como back to you, like his prodigal
prototype in Holy Writ."
"Percy starvel Oh, judge!” faltered
Mrs. Nolen.
PDo no* bo unoarrt Percr will not 1

better that Pauline should marry the
least attractive of the latter than Mr.
Martin."
“I wish you would see him and find
out whether he is nice,” said Mrs. Nolen,
with anxious earnestness.
“I would willingly do so, but for ono
reason,” tho judge replied, “and that is
that tho peculiar circumstances might
disqualify mo from forming an unbiased
opinion.”
“Oh, I am not afraid of that. My hus-
band used to say that there could be no
ono moro impartial and just than yoi£”
“Even assuming that judgment of his
to have been impartial, I should never
theless be disqualified from presiding at
a trial where, for instance, the prisoner
was charged with the murder of sofne
friend of my own.”
“I do not understand. Mr. Martin
has surely not murdered any one?’
“Bless me, nol I was only using an
extreme illustration. But Mr. Martin ;
might wish to obtain something which I
had set my own heart on possessing."
There was a manifest embarrassment
In the judge’s manner. Mrs. Nolen
looked puzzled. She began to suspect
there was something behind all this, but
she could not divine what it was.
“I began life pretty early, as you
know,” continued he, after a pause.
I “Since tho ago of 14, I believe, I have
supported myself. Measuring my exist
ence by that standard, I might be called
| an old man. But though, in the matter
I of years, I am not exactly a boy, yet 1 |
j am but 43 years old, and you will admit,
j my dear, that men havo been known to
| live a good deal longer than that.”
j “I am sure you will live to be twice
! 43,” put in Mrs. Nolen kindly.
“Half that is all I would ask, if 1
might realize the happiness that I hope
for,” returned the judge, with a faint i
smile.
“And is tliis happiness anything that 1
can help to insure you?”
“I can hardly say that. In fact, it is
j essential in one way that it should come.
if come at all, as freely and spontane-
I ously as the sunshine from heaven. Nov-
ertheless, 1 am under obligation to speak
to you of my hopes, that you may ap
preciate my position and understand my
, conduct.” Ho stopped, and tho color
mounted to his face. “I love Pauline.”
he said, a strong emotion vibrating in
his voice. “I hope to make her love me
and to accept me for her husband.”
“Oh, judge!" exclaimed Mrs. Nolen,
taken wholly by surprise. She looked
at him intently for a few moments, and
then the siaii.i. d look in her face soft
en6d, and sho began to smile. She left
her chair, and, coming to where he sat,
put a b md upon ItU shoulder; and os he
locLcd up at her she bent down and
kissed him upon tho forehead. She was
still smiling, but there were tears in her
eyes.
‘ Do you think me absurd?” said the
judge.
“I think you are right," was her reply.
“At first 1 could not lielieve—I had al
ways looked up to you os to a sort of
elder brother—I could not imagine you
as the husband of my littlo daughter—
my own son-in-law But 1 think you
