silence, with the exceptions of Cray
footsteps as he paced up and down th'
room. Murchisson sat nibbiug his fin
gers, as if in profound thought.
"By Jove,I have it at last p he cried
looking up.
| Gray stopped short in his walk.

Murchisson, "he's deucedly hard up for

eagerly exclaimed Gray" "providcd Lily's

I" That won't BE- enough" shrewd'y
answered MurchiSson q" Before giving
him the money, must have Il written
promise from him that Lily is to be

my dear Murchisson - cried the
young ardent lover grasping his hand,
II never shall sufficiently repay this
kind interest in me. How can reward

"Wcll-by making Lily a good hus-

"Nevcr fear me, only let her be mine

Murchisson cried euthu.as.icaly,
"Suppose, then, we at once proceed
to business. Give me the money, and

you gave it ; SO when you see him don't
allude TO it..
"Oh, of course not.
1t would seem strange that such a
fellow should have certain pride about
him, but we're all Of us contradictions.
He wouldn't like you to know he was in
difficulties, it might mar all I'll terd
him the money, aud thus shall have u
hold upon him.
Bravo exclaimed the young, hope
full lover, rubbing his hands. ...
And when Eve seen him, I'll come
back to YOU
The unsuspicious Gray drew cheque
for a thousand pounds as readily as some
would for Eve.
t" I'm of, then" said Murchisson,
eagerly handling the precious document,
which he put into his pocket book, and
with warm shake of the hand he left
the anxious lover, promisin: to return as
soon AS possible and relieve his anxiety
1t should be remembered that this
scene took place at ) clock in the af.
tcrnoon, Fer some moments after he
left, Gray paced up and down the room,
in loves sweet re.crics and dry drr"",c.
Quietly the door opened, aud head
popped in.

"Oh, that's you. james exclaimed
the groom whose Information on the
race day had been SO Invaluable Out
of gratitude, Gray had takeu the man
into his service. -
"James' said Gray Russell to his
man, they've carried of Miss Huson,
there's pretty sffair
Beg pardon, SIR" answered the
groom Who's they?
"Well, l should have said he Her
fathers done it."
"Qui,e sure it amt they, sir? - asked
the man with peculiar look.
What, the lady's father aud Mr..
Doe %
Il warn't thinkin' of Mr.. Doe, SIR"
was the answer. But of he as is Just
gone out
"What, Mr. Murchisson ?" and Gray
laughed 10 an unequivocal tone of mock
cry at such an idea.
"Why, Mr. Murchisson is my most
intimate friend. and most kind adviser
in the affair He's just put me into the
way of finding out the whole business
Beg pardon, sir, but who pays for
it?"
"Who pays for it - echoed Gray.
Yes sir, who pays for it You see,
SIR" continued james, I" lived four
years with my late master. He wur rich
when | went to him Mr.. Murchisson
was his most particular and most init
mate friend-rid his 'osses, druv his
carriages--but somehow there wur always
money to be paid for something. So at
last my poor master got sold up. Mr..
Murchisson did it all, sir"
1t is wonderful how light penetrates
into place. Even mere pin-hole at
first, through it creeps, until the whole
place becomes light as day
There was but this pin-ho,e at first in
Gray Russells bosom but as James
spoke, the rays streamed in, and he be-
gan to think that the groom might
know better than himself Word by
word James arrived at the truth-cheque
and all. Looking at his " Itch, he said:

Before the man had reached the hot
tom stair, Gray called him back. He
felt It ungenerous to even susncct h;s
best friend, Murchisson.
But james was shrewd, and susnec,ad
what his master was going to do, SO he
turned deal ear to the call, and hurried
away.
