FAUNTLEROY,
The English Banker and Forger.
BY CHARLES DICK EMS.

The bottles went round-claret for
the degenerate youngsters port for
the sterling, steady-headed, middle
aged gentlemen. Mr.. Trowbridge
slipped his wine-meditated little
slipped again-and started with
the promised anecdote, in these
terms:
What I am going to tell you, gen
tlemeu, happened when | was very
Young man, and when | was just
setting up in business 90 my own ac-
count. My father had been well &C
quainted for many years with Mr..
Fauntleroy, of the famous London
banking-frm of Marsh, Fauntleroy,
Stracey and Graham. Thinking it
might be of some future service to
me to make my position known to
great man in the commercial world,
my father mentioned to his highly
respected friend that | was about to
start in business for myself, in a very
small way, and with very little mo-
nev. Mr.. Fauntleroy received the
intimation with kind appearance of
interest and said that he would
have his eye on me. I expected from
this that he would wait to see if |
could keep on my legs at starting !;
and that, if he found | succeeded
pretty we'll he would then help me
forward if it lay in his power. AS
events turned out, he proved to be a
far better friend than that; and he
soon showed me that | had very
much underrated the hearty and gen
erous interest which he bad felt IN
my welfare from the first.
While | was stillfshting with the
first difficulties of setting up my Of
fee, and recommending myself to
my connection, and so forth, | got Il
message from Mr.. Fauntleroy, tel
ling me to call on him, at the bank
ing-house, the first time | was pas
sing that way. As you may easily
imagine, contrived to be passing
that way on a particular early occa-
sion and, on presenting myself at
the bank, l was shown at once into
Mr. Fauntleroy's private room.
He was as pleasant man to speak
to as ever l met with-bright aud
gay and cempanionable in his man
