"Your friends shall always be welcome

Mr.. Harding withdrew after brief
conversation, leaving Henry to win his
way to the heart Of the heiress.
There was that in the eye OF the young
man which is rresistibly attractive to "a
young maiden. lie was well formed, with
handsome face, musical voice, and "a
winning manner. Amelia was strongly
preposSessed in his favor from the first

Henry, percevipg his advantage. fol-
owed it up with energy, and ere half the

IN impression on the heart OF the maiden
whicn fairly opened the way for con-
quest.
But he could not but reproach himself
for the part he had accepted, and though
le felt that his intentions were good, the
consci .uness that he appeared before the
gentle girl in-an assumed character, was
any thing but agreeable to his lofty sentl-
nent.
Amelia was beautiful girl, and Henry
felt that to be loved by her was 10 him the
delights of paradise 10 the midst of a cold.

heart told him that even then he had gone
too far for his own happiness. lie had
seen her. and could not resist the desire
10 repeat bis visit He went again. and
the effect of the visit was irremediable.-

CHAPTER HI.

On the following day. Henry and Ame.
liza LETT for New York-for what purpose
the imaginative reader can easily divine.
The first intelligence that Mr. Harding
received of the marriage, he obtained
from the newspaper. Hastily leaving the
office, he made his way to the residence
Of the beiress, which she occupined with
a maiden aunt, as her companion and
house keeper.
The happy couple were at home and
Mr.. Harding was in high glee al the sue
cess of his plan. In his calculating brain.
he commended the diplomacy skill and
energy which Harry had brought the
transaction to its speedy termination.
Mr.. Harding found the happy bridal
party pleasantly disposed in the drawing
room, ready TO receive such company as
might honor them. Appearances must
be saved. and as the servant conducted
him to the presence of the wiIlul girl, he
contrived TO work himself into very tol.
cradle passion.
"What does all this mean, Amelia"
exclaimed he, in loud, aulhorative tones.
"My husband. uncle Obled," said she,
with charming naivete, as she rose and
went through mock presentation.
"Your husband, indeed !" sneered the
broker. elf mistake not, have not
been consulted in this affair"
''No, uncle, it was my affair."" s.
81 never was more contounded in my
ife," continued Mr.. Harding, evincing a
we'll feinged surprise, ''than when read
your marriage in the papers"
"You will be in moment though" ;"
thought Joseph Jones, Henry chum, at
the boarding house, who either by acci-
dent or design, was a visitor at the same
time.
You need not TO have been surprised,
uncle; you know | am a wild, wiIlfuI GIRL"
"You are aware OF the terms OF your
fathers will"
81 am"
"You have sacrificed your fortune, Of
course you never expected me to concent
to your union with beggar,"
"You ought not TO have brought him
here then uncle"
"What do you mean, girl 7"
Nothing, uncle Obed; but you will not
be so cruel as to deprive me OF my in
.heritance? e. said Amelia, looking mis-
chievously at him.
"Shall put it in your hands for this
gentleman 10 run through ! No; will
make over 10 him the sum of ten thou
sand dollars. The provisions of the will
shall be strictly enforced"

said Henry, who hal been only listen

"Sir ! you I"
"Sir, | !" replied Henry, putting a bold
face upon the matter.

the broker, exasperated by the impudenee
OF his tool"

Harding; she could not marry without

"Promise--swear."

Henry shrunk back in amazement at the
cool villainy which Mr.. Harding proposed
to perpetrate; but his curiosity was rous-
ed, and with as much calmness as be
could assume, he expressed his perfect
comprehension of the brokers' position

Henry paused to consider. The idea
of becoming party to such a nefarious
was repugnant to every man
ly feeling within him. But he had sworn
an oath, which sealed his lips so that he
could not expose the plot, even if he re-
fused to be engaged in it.

room.
