Mr.. Whifles-the respected parent of
our hero, Mr.. Adolphus Whites was
an opulent Berkshire farmer, who, be-
fore retiring from his business and leav-
ing it to his son, fancied that visit to
the great metropolis would have the eff
feet of sharpening the wits of that anna
BILE youth, an operation Of which that
young gentleman stood greatly in need.
The son jumped at the idea, especially
when he learned he was to setforth on his
travels alone. With the parental bless
ING and his purse well filed, Mr.. WHITES,
Jr.. duly arrived in London and installed
himself in economical quarters in Savoy
street, Strand.
The theaters, of course, occupied a
large share of Mr.. Whites attentions
during his stay in London, and the
neighborhood OF stage doors afforded
him q vast amount of satisfaction. The
sight Of professionals % in their every
day costume was to him source OF great
qualification, and his delight when he
made the acquaintance of prominent
member of the orchestra of the Royal
Dash Theater exceeded all bounds. He
vowed eternal friendship for him on the
spot, and there and then ratified the
agreement by entertaining his new &C
quaintance at recherche supper at the
Albion. Our story opens when Mr..

Mr.. OLeary sighed, shook his head
sadly, and emptied his glass by way Of
reply.
"Your supper has disagreed with you
you have eaten too much" continued
Mr.. WHITES tenderly.

observed his companion; it's the sub
stitute"
This mysterious answer puzzled Mr..
WHITES. He thought it over seriously,
then gave it up in despair, and de-
manded an explanation. Mr.. OIeary
vigorously pulled at his cigar and pro-
ceeded to enlighten Mr.. WHITES.
