lie had come to the city within the
year and entered into business with a
young man named Wellington, the son
OF wealthy broker, who was at the
time travelling in Europe On his re-
turn and introduction to Ralph Merrill.
%ttracted by his fine physique and
( pleasing address, his cultured mind and
generous heart he invited him to his
elegant home, introduced him to his
daughter Edith, a fair and graceful girI
and showed a desire in yariOus WAYS to
be his friend.
Not long after Mr.. Wellington's ra-
| turn from abroad some of his intimate
business friends planned to give him a
banquet at DelmOnico's. Evervthtno
I that could give pleasure or grace to the
entertainment was ordered. Rare and
costly wines helped largely to make up
!he carefully chosen menu. Thegues
invited were gentlemen prominent in
the commercial world; the Younger
Wellington and Ralph Merrill were
among them because of their relations
with the honored guest of the evening.
When the time appointed arrived the
banquet was found to be all that couId
be desired. After the substantial
Nlands were enjoyed, variety of deli.
cleus dainties were set before the
guests. Just then it was that Mr.
wellington spoke to Ralph, whose seat
at the table was not far removed from
his own.
Mr.. Merrill, will you not take wine
with me?" at the same time sending
TO INN the waiter, with the bottle of
rare wine from which his own glass
hadJuSt beentilled. Ralph Indicated to
the servant that the glass beside his
plate was not to be filled. Mr.. Wei
hngton saw the motion, and the Quick
words came
" What, Merrill not take wine with
me! Why not, sir?"
For moment there was no renlv.

But a moment, and courage. God
like, came to the front.
Steadily, yet mOdestly, his dark ewes
met those of Mr.. Wellington. i'm which
an omlnous, half-angry light had gath
cred The attention of all at the
table was on the two, and in their
midst there was brief silence On
that silence the young mans voice fell
