in AN IIEVAT TOR.

& the heart OF the New York retail n1er-
chant rejoiced. Perfectly appointed
II carriages rolled in an endless stream
4 along the more spacious thorough
y fares, or stood in long lines outside
the various stores pacronized by their
fair owners. The streets in front
OF the fashionable ones was hopeless
" blocked. It was just such scene
as may be witnessed any fine day in
the season, but to one tall, dark, sun
burned man, whose upright carriage
betrayed his profession, the whole
phantasmagoria Of fair women, per-
fectly well-got up men, equally we'll
got up pcarriages, and lofty s'steppers,
was replete with the charm OF COM
parative novelty. But though the
scene was inspiring enough, he did not
linger long in the region sacred to the
Eleusinian mysteries OF shopping
Just'as he was crossing the threshold
OF the Bayonet club, he was hailed by
we'll remembered voice.
"Bourchier! by all that's wonderful!
Why, I thought you were far away in
Europe!"
! The speaker was a fair, fresh.col-
ored man, little over 80, of the ia
miliar type of the man about town,
well-dressed, spruce, and with the air
of one who is on good terms with him.
self and all the world.
"Come and have q cigar and a chat.
Why, it must be ten years since you
lett New York;
1T is. shall be a sort OF Rip Van
Winkle."
Nonsense, man! We don't forget
our friends quite 50 soon, even in New
York, retorted the other, leading the
way into the smoking room.
"Now for your news, Huntley," "said
Bourchier, as he settled himself in al
easy chair and lighted a cigar "Who
has been born, who has married, who
has died since saw you last?''
"Let ME think. It is difficult thing
to arrange ones ideas when one is bid
den to stand up and deliver like that"
In spite OF this protest, Huntley
during the next half hour contrived to
retail a fair amount OF gossip.
