crime. A moment before lock- jaw set in,

breath: 'Brinsiey, I'm glad my sin has

him to my rooms, gave him an hypnotic
draught and kept him all night. In the
morning he was full of remorse at his own
folly, and seemed resolved to turn over q

seemed to write aimlessly for few min

some good resolutions, or pledge for me

LAW nj oFFrcER.

As Mr.. Norcross walked hor Ieward. the
streets seemed to close up beh Alhim: he was
shut out from the scenes cf his activity, no
more to return; Wall street was henceforth
for him a thing of memory. He had played
his game there. and lad lost; and now, after
checkmate, he must resign his place. How
he struggled against re ideal lie coali not
bring himself TO Acknowledge tnat the past
was iIrctrievable. His spirit seemed in prison,
shut in by the bars OF a dungeon, against
which he might tug and rage in vain.
At home, dinner was on the table, waiting
for MIN. As he entered the hall he met his
sister-in-law. She saw the fatal news in his
face, and with a sinking heart gave him her
usual greeting. irene took her place at the
table, but with less animation thar usual.
George sat down with his studied indiifer-
ence. Each one seemed to Be absorbed in
separate spheres Of thought, and the courses
came on and were removed in painful silence.
At last Mr.. Norcross spoke.

over
"All over!' exclaimed Irene.
SYes,-I have failed; so has Cleerskeigh;
so has Griesmann.n
"FailedF' said Irene, in an i~ncredulous
tone. II thought it was the great people,
mean people in business, or estates, that

Trembling with the unusual excitement.
and ~despairing Of being able TO aid his EN-
ployer, Jameson did not wait for a reply,
but rushed to The Summit again. Mr.. Nor
cross had gone ont on business, was the
answer. He had not gone far, If the truth
were known; for his position commanded the
office-door, aud he saw every visitor.
Time did not lag that eventful day. 1t now
lacked only fifteen minutes of 2, and Jamie
son, sick Mt heart, returned to Broad
street, to announce the utter failure of his
plan. Mr.. Sleavin received the intelligence
with more firmness than might have been
expected.
Jameson, my friend-for | can truly call

and swindled you. You generously offered

God, Jameson, that YOU may never go home

darling how can / tell your
Still murmuring to himself, Mr.. Sleavin
slowly walked out of the counting room.
Presently the notary came with the newt
able demand. He was a cheerful fellow in
his sorry business, blithe as an old stager of
an undertaken at a first-class funeral. He
chatted about the crisis, and, as a matter of
course, broughtalI the latest news from Wall
street. Jameson listened to one piece of
news, but lad ears for no more. "Norcross
and Cleerskeigh had failed, and the old Sum
init, which they had managed, was dead
broke, leaned out"
Mr.. Sleavin was not the only heart-stricken
man who left the counting room that day.

THE DEBTORS RETURN.

Early next morning the officer in charge Of
Mr.. Norcross' house was relieved by a
brother constable. Number Two was a
much more civil person in speech and man
ner than Number One; in fact. he speedily
made himself so agreeable to the housemaid
that she brought him a cap OF coffee, and
looked admiringly while he swallowed. By
the time Mrs Norcross and Irene came down
to breakfast, he had established an intimacy
with Biddy that was quite charming TO look
upon. One would have thought he was an
old friend Of the household-a favored crony
such an easy, familiar air he assumed. He
accosted the ladies with great gallantry-as-
sured them that they were looking finely
hoped they had passed e pleasant night, and
that Number One had given them no unnec-
essary inconvenience Irene met him with a
naughty stare which nobody but a woman Of
fashion can assume.
