LOVE AND MAMMON. It was one dreary, foggy November day, bllly and dispiriting, whan I left my lodgtngi, and as I puihed on In tbe wintry gloom I grew more spirit brokun and de pressed at every step. "I was an hour over my appointed time when I reached my uncle's offio In Mine lng lans. I was Informed a oartaln yuuLg lady was with my unole. "How long has ab been here, Ptr" I exolalmed. "Maybe half an boar, mora or lata." "And has my unole sent down stairs to anow If I bad arrived during that timer "Shuro. Tbe boy Wiggins baa beau sont for ye twloe, and upon tbe last oooaslon tbe dlrtby young spalpeon told as how tbe bear was growling and grunting while the protty oolloen waa crying fit to break her heart." "And you think I bad better not go up?" I exolalmed anxiously and nervoualy aa I stood with tbe door ajar listening fur nay aounus irom auove. "Well, Mosthcr Frank, If ye took an onld fool's advice that's me ve would aay, 'Fat, darllnt, run up and sue bow tbe una lays.' " "Excellent I never thought of that Run along. I am In a fever to got tbe matter over, and, Fat, Just ask Mlaa Liv ingstone If ahe will mind calling at Bridget j lanagan's in Monument Yard. Tell her I wish to see ber very much; that I start for Liverpool tonight. You may add that x win not aetain ber long." "All right; don't fear; tbo pretty oolleen will be waiting for ye ; I'll answer for that same. Be the powers, what a fine oouplo ye would make, and It's the llkaa of me that would just like to dance at yer wed ding. Oob, now, don't obanga oolor. Doe ye think ould Fat Flnnlgan eao't see through ye both?" For some time paat I had been In tbe bablt of meeting a dear girl who at that moment was engaged with my unole. wnat was ner nuaineas with the moroae and gloomy colonial broker I bad never presumed to ask her. Dora Livingstone was an orphan and was roaldlng In Lon don with a relative with whom, I fancied, Mark Hammeraloy bad some little busi ness transactions which were carried on through tbe means of tbe timid and pretty Dora. For weeks and weeks I bad blind ly worshiped the fair being, wbo, by ber artleas and winning manners, won my heart First a brief and silent Inclination of the head was tbe only acknowledgment between ns, then a word at passing, until upon one occasion, waiting my uncle s ar rival, a trilling conversation led on to inn- tual explanations and the discovery that wo wore both wayward children or late, wltb tbe world before us and no one to love or oberlsh us. Both yonng, the re sult may be foreseen. For. myself I feu hopelessly In love. Just as I was getting Impatient she made her appearanoe, woep lng bitterly, while Fat, following behind, angrily exolalmed: "That Infernal ould mon bas been bully lng the pretty oolleen, and, bedad, ye'd better show up. Mastber D rank, enure, and If tbe ould baste came down we'd b ruined entirely." Pat literally tore me away from the weeping Dora, whom I bad oausbt In my arms, uecaiioa to mystui, J now bunted op stairs, my heart beating wildlv with conflicting emotions. I was about to be dispatched to Liverpool. 1 knew not bow long I should be sway and had to deliver an Inexplicable message given me In tbe street by a stranger, though apparently weu aoquainwu wuu my morose relative. tTnon enterlna the counting room I dls covered In a moment that my unole was In one of bis devil's moods. "Ho. yonna man. vou nave arnvea at IbbIl Lost yourself In tbe log, I auppoeer There was a erlm. surly sneer in this sum Cation, tbe evil look upon his features nhnnirlnir. however, to one of alarm as I exclaimed: "I met a stranger In Tower street lust now, uncle.

When I told blm that ho bad depicted the man to the very life, Mark Hammersloy exolalmed: "You must call tomorrow morning, Frank. Let me see you at 8 o'clook, be- fore Saunders gota here. Uood mgni.

Then, warned by a low langh from the Hps of Norab, I rapped at the door, and replying in invitation to come in at once entered thDortingtorword I now caught the little oft hands of the weeping girl Jn mine.
