is. I've got papers III them saddle-bags
to support all l say
| AT the mention of the papers and the
saddlebags, the President started, and
almost shuddered; but recovering his
self.possession, he walked back, with
significance that shone out in every mo-
ton.
i say, Squire, he exclaimed, that
young fellow, your nephew, is nightly,
of my opinion. He's lonesome, too, I'm
thinking.

well, it's about time You did. l
i don't say much, but see and hear the
more. That young fellow wants to come

But my dear sir, he is poor; he has no

Mr.. Jonathan Packwhistle withdrew
and the President began walking his
a library floor, rubbing his hands in per
feet delight. This occupation was in
terrupted by the door being thrown OPP
: en-, and Aunt Amanda, flying in, threw
: herself into the arms Of the astonished
brother.
Dear brother Clinton she exclaimed
weeping, 'how can l leave yon"
; why, Amanda, who the devil wants
you to leave me?'
Before she could answer the question
> the door again opened, and Ella and
Edward, rushed in like the Aunt, seized
our astonished banker, with screams Of
oh, Father oh, Uncle ?
'What the deyil-are YOU all insane :?
piteously demanded Mr.. Johnston, try
ing to extricate himself from beneath
the happy family; bnt another was added
to the group, Mr. Finkbme, under in
tense excitement, broke into the rooms,
dancing and swapping his fingers.
It's all right Johnston, old boy; the
Middleburg species on, hand-eight

let us to business. Where is old home

must apologize for the delay we have
made you suffer. But now, if you will
produce the paper, we will close up at
once
That's my sentiments said Mr..
Jonathan, sitting down deliberately I'M
locking his saddle bags. The company
watched his movements with great in
; terest. First, he fumbIed in each side,
thrusting his hand quite into the depths
of this travelling convenience. Unsuc-
cessful at this, he began unpacking up
1.-THE floor. First came numerous pairs
of country-knit socks, then red fan
] mel shirt, after several white shirts, then
few pair of drawers-these were fol-
lowed by cloth pantaloons and night
cap, and so until a tremendous heap of
t wearing apparel was piled uponthe floor.

shook them, when a package of papers
, tumbled out. These he handed to his
wondering host. They proved, on ex-
|, animation, to be title deeds and extracts
of title.
'Ah. yes said Mr.. Johnston you wish
} to invest with us, and these are the ey-
licences Of your ability. But, my dear

a partner for life, as I'm dreadful lone

The company could scarcely refrain
from laughing. An explanation follow
a ed. Mr. Johston's spirits were too much
g relieved for him to refuse anything and
$ he confirmed all he had promised be
l. fore, under error. He had scarcely done
so, when the boy from the bank appear
