hotel and sent up his card to Miss
Greenhall. She was in. of course, and
be shortly stood before her. Ii she had
captiyated him before she enthralled
him now. A becoming toilet enhanced
her remarkable beauty "A hundredfold,
and as she rose to meet her visitor aud
clasped his hand so warmly, and looked
into his face so truslfuiiy, his heart was
entirely 1T her mercy.
Il am so glad 10 see you," she said,
sweetly, rs they sat down near each
other; Il am SO anxious to hear about
Harry and it has been so lonesome
here all alone by myself. Have you
learned anything?"
Yes, replied Jack; "but not any
thing that need alarm YOU Your
brothers vices are not of an alarming
kind, being coniiued TO billiards aud
occasional mild sprees. | was intro
pleased with his frank and winning
manner"
Thank you for saying So" ex-
claimed Julia. Il am 50 fond and
proud OF him. that it is music to me to
hear you praise him. But it gricyes
me to hear that he IS bIt dissipated." ="
Never fear for him." was Jacks as
surancc; ''he has too good sense TO let
drink get the better Of him"
The evening passed rapidly, to Jack
at least, and the clock struck II before
he was aware OF the lateness of tie
nour.
Il fear have bored you" he said, as
he rose hastily to 90. The time has
passed so pleasantly that had no idea
it was so late" Nor l." said Julia.
"When do you return?"
Immediately for do not wish Har-
ry to know that have played the spy
upon him. even for his own good"
rs there nothing more | can do for
you?"
No; at least-well, yes - hesitated
Julia. You see, | expected to stay
here several weeks and so provided
myself with money enough for any
contingency. | shall not need it now
that my stay is so short, and | dislike
to carry with me unless obliged to
do so. Won't you please take it and
send It to me at home in a draft, or
something of that kind?n
Taking from her pocket roll of
bank notes she handed them to Jack.
What is the amount?" he asked
'.''Seyen hundred and eighty dol
lars" she replied, writing her address
upon card.
He placed the notes in his already
well-lilled pocket-book.
My roll looks insignificant beside
yours she said, laughingly.
That's because yours is in higher
notes" explained Jack. MY roll
really contains nearly Il hundred dol
lars less than yours. When do you go
home?'
'By the 10 o'clock train tomorrow.
| should die of cnnui if coopcd up
longer in this room. l do SO long for
a breath of fresh air. -
You shall have it if you will. We
shall have ample time for an early
drive in the morning, and You need not
fear that your brother will see you for
the hour and the direction we may take
will both preclude it."
The fair one consented and Jack
babe her good night Going home, he
placed her money carefully in
drawer and went to bed to dream about
her.
At the appointed hour next morn
inc he drove up to the hotel. Julia
was all ready, and looking as charm
ing a5 ever. She greeted him with the
sweetest of smiles and the coyest of
haud-preSsures. and they drove away
out Of the city in high spirits.
Jack was deeper than ever in the
meshes OF sudden love. His arm crept
around the waist OF his lovely comDan-
ion and he drew her 10 his breast She
demurred with Il pretty pout, and when
he begged for kiss made him promise
TO be content with one. He took Il
dozen, and talked more nonsense in
an hour than he had ever supposed
himself capable of doing in a week.
Julia's trunks had already been sent
to the station. which they reached just
in time for the train. Good-Gyes were
said, promises of correspondence made,
aud Julia was whiried away.
Jack went to his room, feeling quite
lonely. As he removed his coat, lie
felt for his pockctbook.
1t was gone.
In its place he found a dclicately-
scented note.
