CHAPTER. Nv.


Sydney Drummond was one of the
most confidential clerks of a large
banking establishment in the CITY of
London.
He had been sent to Wexford to
transact some very important bust
ness there with a correspondent of
the firm in whose service he was EN-
ployed.
When the DreadnOught had arrived
at Wexford, Frances O'Meara, taking
her leave of Sydney, had again said
to him how rejoiced she knew Sir
! Loghlen would be to make the ac-
quaintance of a gentleman who had
been so kindly attentive to the Baro-
nets niece; and, when parting with
Sydney, had extorted from him sort
of half promise that, before quitting
Ireland he would venture to Sir
Loghlen O'Mearas mansion.
To Frances herself it appeared in
explicable that she should thus strive
to prolong an acquaintance which
every worldly consideration told her
should be at once dissolved.
But Frances, although, at present,
she had no suspicion of the fact had
fallen in love with the handsome
young clerk; and not every girl in
love for the first time in her life has
corner of her heart to spare fo4
worldly considerations.
Sydney's business in Wexford, for
the settlement of which a month had
been given him by his firm, was CON
Guided, as it happened, in about a
couple of days; and, free so unex-
pectedly, the bankers clerk asked
himself should he, dare he, accept
the opportunity which had been of
fered to him of once again beholding
Frances O'Meara.
Return at once to England, and see
her no more, his reason loudly said:
hasten, and feast thine eyes upon the
most beauteous image they ever look
ed upon, softly whispered his heart.
The hearts victory was never for a
moment doubtful in the foregoing ar
gument, and reason retired defeated.

quered.

would be but to increase the poign-
ancy of that suffering which passion
he could not believe most utterly hope
less had already brought him.
For all that, he lost no time in set
ting forward towards Sir IoghIen's
mansion; engaging a "car" to take
thither himself, his pOrtmanteau, and
a small strong box, which contained
some important documents, numerous
bank bills, and a rather considerable
sum in hard cash.
All of which were the satisfactory
results of the business matters he
had gone to Wexford to transact, and
