you entered the banking house of Pow

The young man was about TO make
some remark expressing his willing
ness to undertake the mission with SO
agreeable a companion, when he was
interrupted by the entrance of a serv-
ant bearing the card of Mr.. Nathan
Farlow, Mr.. Powers partner in busi-
ness.

Mr.. Powers, exclaimed the clerk.
Yes" added Miss Powers, "Mr.
Waltser has come to offer me his SER
vices by accompanying me on visit
of mercy this afternoon.
"Ah!' and Nathan Farlow's face

call their homes"
The other part of the question she
seemed either not to desire to answer,
perhaps, on account of its delicate
nature, or else had forgotten it, at
least it went unanswered.
During this conversation. Waltser
had remained q quiet spectator. Sew
eral times he attempted to say that
since his services would not be requir

office, but on each occasion he was in
terrupted. Now, however, he em

left alone, the conversation turueo
upon matters which more nearly con

Nathan was Miss Powers aflianc ID
