one of the front pillars.

Watson began to catch glimpses of a
character beneath all that couventional
veil which he had not expected to find.

dressing-maid had made special inquiry
into his cane, seeing her iu confidential
confab with the floor-stewardess and room

not entertained with others, kept apart
from Miss Oromanes.
On that third evening of his changed
fortuues, when the Sappho of the Cas
cades annihilated him, greatly to the
pleasure of the youns; "bloods" around
her, Watson wandered away at length
upon the piazzas; and through the loug,
deserted halls, restless, thoughtful, di

the relative value of a man without mon

"A letter for Monsieur Watson from

So the baggage of Robert Watson was
lifted'and borne from the elegant suit on
the second floor to a little seven by four
teen room on the fifth floor.
How quickly it became known that
the change had been made ! Every serv
ant in the house betrayed the knowledge
in the absence of the usual deference paid
to the possessors of "parlors." At dinner,
the "boy," who had been too eager to
anticipate Mr. Watson's wants, suddenly
became oblivious to those wants, and only
answered theui after repeated orders.

his bill was unpaid, he was the happier,
because wiser for the upward reverse.
Suddenly, in his solitary promenade,
he confronted the heiress. She was walk
iug arm in arm with young Evans, of her
"set," in confidential communication it
would appear, else why should they have
been in that long hall alone ? asked Wat
son, as, with a glance, he took in the situa
tion. The meet in r was a surprise to both
parties, and the inclination of both men
was to pass without recognition. Evans,
indeed, frowned ; Watson flushed iu
anger, and with head erect bore down
and passed his enemies, like a suspended
or cashiered officer of the line, conscious
of bis soldierly qualities, but equally con
scious of his "altered circumstances."

Watson, hailing from Baltimore, had
been a season guest at the Cascade.
Friends he had in plenty. He was cour
ageous, well-bred, good-looking, intelli
gent, and, apparently, rich what more
could be asked ? Among the ladies he
had moved quite a prince ; and many
were tho gossamer web? woven as toib

of voice, manner , and sentiment,
beautv of person "the elegance of attire
all were agreeable to him, deeply so. for
he seemed to enjoy them immensely; but
not the brilliant poetess, Miss Mountjoy,
nor tho coy and artless Miss Dumain. nor
the rattle-headed young Miss Lambert,
nor the very rich Miss Oromanes, ap
peared to command him. He was to all
alike, the agreeable companion, the can
did friend, the shrewd resisant of all arts
to lead him into love's labyrinthine
mazes.
How would all these beauties of the
saloon receive the announcement sure to
be made of his "altered circumstances,"
as the Major expressed it ?
Evidentlv Mr. Watson was not indif
ferent. He still frequented the piazzas
and parlors, giving every friend, male
and female ample opportunity t6 "cut"
hia acquaintance, or otherwise to express
themselves. It was somewhat curious to
note the progress of his decline, not fall,
for Watson had that iu his character con
struction which, even if poverty and trial,
would preserve him from a sacrifice of
personal dignity and self-reliance. But
that he was on the decline became to him
a sorrowful fact.
Sorrowful did we say ? That is, jugd
ing by the usual standard of human fe
licity or misery. To lose one's friends,
to behold your position in society grad
ually slipping away, to realize that no
longer you are held in coveted considera
tion by a chosen few, is, ordinarily, a
source of sorrow. Hut in Watson's case
it was difficult to tell how keenly the
knife cut to the quick of his sensibilities ;
for, while every acquaintance was given
full facilities for doing the disagreeable
office of giving the "cold shoulder," the
Baltimorean appeared like an interested
spectator, and was as unmoved when
passed by a supposed friend without the
slightest notice, as if he were a newspa
per reporter, anxious to see the act and
not the fact.
Into the parlors during the evening he
particularly pressed his way. If a bevy
of gay fellows surrounded Miss Mountjoy;
he worked his way to the circle, and, at
last, received from that lady of Sappho
like lips hia discharge. She did most
gracefully and crushingly turn her back
upoD hina not three days after his remov
al from the second floor.
Miss Dumain he sought, confident that
one so artless certainly would be above
the hollow-hearted crowd, and etill give
him her friendly greeting. Vain con
ception ! The artless girl was ooy indeed ;
and when at length he cornered her, it
was to his discomfiture. She suddenly
turned and forced her way past him,
without even one of her downcast glances.
On the contrary, her eyes were fixed fully
on his faee, and plainly said, "Sir, we are
strangers."
Next he tried rattle-headed Miss Lam- '
v bert, and ahe rattled on quite as usual
but Watson soon discovered that the rat'
tie was not for him.
Strangely enough, and proud and ex
elusive Miss Percy unbent somewhat
from her lofty carriage, and gave him a
welcome ; .but over it all as a shadow
r'
anger.
"Dolt," he hissed.
Watson passed on, staying to make no
apology, but he heard the lady say :
"Fie, it is nothing;" and he was con
scious, too, that she was looking at him
j wondcringly.
! An hour later Watson was down on
the piazzas again, evidently on the quest
i for some person, and he found his man
! ere long. Evans was the gentleman
wanted. Going up to him Watson said :
I "Mr. Evans, what was the word you
j used at the time I trod on the trail of
iMiss Oromane's dress?"
I "I said dolt, sir ! and I say it again.

his hands were clenched as if to strika ;
by a Etrocg effort, he mastered his pas
sion. "Evans, no gentleman ever would have
uttered that sentence. Only a coward
would liing another's poverty in his face.
Miss Orcmanes, educated as 6he has been j
to give virtue to wealth, might find in j
my inability to pay my hotel bill a jusci- '
fication for dropping my acquaintance;
but I doubt if ever she would have coun
tenanced incivility. I owe her an apol
ogy for my seeming rudeness, and will
give it to her ; but you I hold in su
preme contempt even to exchange words
with you. Hereafter do not speak to
me, for if you do I shall slap your face,
eveu in the presence of ladies." And the
speaker went his way to his attic room.
This scene, overheard by several gen
tlemen and ladies, soon was the talk of
the rooms. Evans, being a recognized
leader of a very aristocratic circle, soon
convened others of the 6et, and Major
Snow was, ere loug, summoned to be in
formed that he must "clear out Watson"
Evans offering to pay the delinquent's
bill.
And tho news flew throughout the
parlors and promenades that Major Snow
was to give Mr. Robert Watson of Balti
more, hia walking papers in the morn
ing.
An observer of the Beene between the
two gentlemen on the piazza was Miss
Oromanes. Having at once retired to
her room to repair the accident to her
skirt, the lady donned another dress, and,
to enjoy half an hour undisturbed, stole
out upon the pleasant open weather
promenade, obe was thus a witness ot
what transpired. She, too, retired, in
circumstances.
Many were the guests who "turned
out" fully two hours before their usual
ten o'clock breakfast the nest morning,
in order to see Mr. Kobert Watson do-
part. To their surprise there was Wat
I son, cheerful and content, promenading
! up and down the back piazza, arm in arm
j with Miss Oromanes, and Major Snow
j looking on admiringly. To Evans and

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford. Iusurancc Commis
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 863,
speaking of Dividends in Lifo Insurance Compa
nies, says , ' The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on itstruo
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the best security, with tho most up
right and judicious management."
