short; and, after suatching up the letter, and

julius entered the apartment.
sHar said Milton, starting and turning pale ;
'why-wh-why did you not come in without knock

Nothing, but somebody speaking sir, replied
Julius, looking wonderingly upon Milton
| sYou have not been in the habit of knocking at
the door before this said the conscience-s e-stung
Milton.
Il thought you were reading, SIR said Julius.
well, sir. since you have been listening
| Il did not listen, sir knocked as soon as
heard your voice., said julius, coloring to the
temples
Milton silently motioned to Julius to be seated,
then threw himself into IN easy chair with deep
sigh but the boy continued to stand.
Sit down, SIR said Milton, somewhat sharply.
julius twisted his handkerchief; pulled ner-
vously Mt the ribbon around his cap but did not
obey Milton.
what ails you, julius p asked Milton; surpri-
sed at the remarkable conduct of the boy.
You never spoke so harshly to me sir, when l
| was living Wltn you, salu JULIUS, lufoiuhtotiy
rending his handkerchief.
| 'Pshaw !! said Milton, you know me too well,
nv boy, to suppose that I would willingly wound
your feelings. The fact is, am unwell this af-
ternoon, and am i'll at ease in mind and, you
know we are all too apt, because of these sinful
hearts of ours, to speak too hastily and often
harshly to those even whom we most love-
Did you want to speak to me, sir? asked Ju-
| lius, in an altered tone.
Il did, replied Milton; 'anG it was for that
purpose that sent Dedrick to the Park for you.
sWhat do you want me to do for you, sir p as-
ked julius, seating himself,
.Eiouise tells me- said Milton, that you met
an old man in the course of your walk this after
noon, and that he called me william, and told
you that Mr.. D'Vilton is not your father; is that
so?'
sEouise always tells the TRUTH SIR said Julius,
with animation.
DO you believe the old man?'
believe him ?-why, no, sir!' replied Julius.
perhaps you are not aware, julius said Mil
ton, sthat you have many enemies, who are doing
all they can to deprive you of the estate of Ed
ward D'Viton, which is justly yours ut his de-
cease. For this purpose, I am reliably informed
that several vile persons have obtained the SER
vices of half demented old woman, called Loo |;
who for sometime back, has been endeavoring to
palm of match boy as the genuine son of your
father. Now, what the old man told you this af-
ternoon you had better say nothing about for the
present as it is my intention to ascertain, if pos
ssible, who Ie is, so that can bring him to JUS
tice and expose his plot
4 will mention it to no one but father" said
julius.
Not even to him, boy; for we must pretend to
know nothing of the existence of this deep laid
plot until we can entrap the parties, and, as
said before, expose their villiany. Promise me
that you will say nothing about what you have
heard, and will make you handsome present.
