Tho Htrsnger aoemed confused, appar ently on account of his blunder, but he tiuhhly recovered hi poll to composure and profusely apologised to Armlda. "I hope you will allow that it was .itillo a natural mistake," bu said. "1 trust lam pardoned; tho fact Is that a pistol shot was fired near to my loft oar wbeu 1 was quite young which deafened mc, and as I stood to tho right of tho lady who introduced niu to Miss Delnro, tho mistake Is accuuntod for. Am 1 pardoned?" ho asked, turning to Ar mlda. "dortalnly," was the roply. The tall stranger did not remain long in tholr company after that. A few or dinary civilities wore passed and bu loft them, ostensibly to return to tho ball-room, but Armidn afterward re marked to l'erey that ho had not done SA "1 share your dUllko for tho Aifablo gentleman," said l'erey, as bo and Ar midn returned to their rooms. lato that night whon nearly every body had gone to bcnl l'erey went to Mr. Wilcox's room to have a few word with that worthy Individual. "Won't you smoke a cigar, i'orcy?" tho old man asked. I'orcy accepted ouo, and whon bo had lit It bo threw himself back in his chair and opened up quietly by saying: "Mr. Wilcox." "Well, my boy." for be still called I'orcy a boy, "I Am nil Attention; what's iu tho wind, anotbor clow?" W'o, not Ibis time. Wo are called upon 1 1 protect una uot to prosecut said l'erey.

Then l'erey told all be bud seen nnd board that night. "TbW mysterious man Is undoubted ly bestowing bli atuntloas oi Armlda lor a purpose of bis own, and as It only distresses her we must stop Ik" "You socio vory much afraid that Armido is falling Into danger In that man's prosuneo, but don't you thiol: that she is alio to earo for bor-uH?" ' Tht.t may b"," said lVrey, "but If I mUtuku nut, that man U a designing oi l villain, and the toa be sees of Armidn the bettor. 1 do not like bis look i and bo remind me too much of tho man v.e t.r.i loot Ins: f"r.

"Armlda ty ho has Invited her and i her mother to lake a few days aall In I hi yacht" "Did she accept?" , "So, sbe gave a quiet but vory posl- Uvo denial. He nloo told her some story about burylmyA wife yenm ago In Italy. j and altogether has been quite vommu- I nlcatlve with her," said l'erey, between tbo puds at bis cigar. "Well, we can make It Impossible for him to gel another chance of annoying her during the remainder of our stay here, and when we get back to New York it Is hardly possible that bo will meet us." "One good thing shout It la that our Address is not yet nettled upon, so we can not give It to him." nm lVrey's last remark. Then tho subject cb(.rti?cd n little, although Armlda was still the one discussed. Mr. Wilcox leaned on the table, and with a pleasant suillo on his face he looked serosa at the man seated op blte to him. "I'eroy." he said, "you are a good deal older than Artnids. but tell me now, like a man, don't you love her?" The question was ro sudden that l'er ey was non-pliusod. Ib bluxhed, glanced at bli fuel, and tin n tip nt bl employer, nhoihould fcmro propt rly !o culled hi') friend; then ho answered frankly: "Yei., vlr, I do."

"No, I never have, and for tbo pros ont 1 do uot luu-n l t do so." "For what reason?" "l'lr.3: anil fon intMt. I am too poor." "That Is no retaon ut all.

I hav - plenty an 1 to spuro and I gucsa when ) want to tnrry Armlda, you cut net all tho money you want for the ailvin;;." This wai r. l -.t.' i.peeeb for Mr. Wll cox to I'.uU"', but ii . as in Rood faith. "Yd." l'vrey lepllod, "tho probablll tl s aio thui if yvti bed iha taken me out of San l-'ranclaio 1 should be still as m 1. 1 cwr."

"Percy lt-aufort I.ovol," ald the good-hearted millionaire, "I have often told you that I object to tbo word rrrinf being used and applied to yoursolf. It may go' over in Hnglaud, but It don't go here, so pleaso don't uso It" Now Percy know that when .Mr. Wilcox addressed him by bis full nsino tho old gentleman was annoyed, so bo ft it bo must do something to please hi in and bring blm back to bis usual even temperament "Ills kind of you to place such entire confidence in me, Mr. Wil cox," he said, "but even if 1 did nee pi your asslstanco I could not ask Armlda to marry mo at prosont I hnvo sw.tii to myself to follow up every trail J find until that vila Velasquez meets hi deserts and until wo llnd him or proof of bis death, 1 can not sutilu down.

"Hardly any loar that iho would re fuse you, my boy. 1 oan'tato through a brick wall, but I ean ooo tbroujb a ladder, and if that girl is uot in love with 'the secretary I am very much mistaken," remarked Mr. Wilcox. "You have never heard Arutlda talk about an linKlisbmau' love, though," romnrkod i'orcy. "Cn't oay I ovor did," was the rrply. "Why. sho says an Knffllshmon'a lve is tbo most cold-blooded Itind of luv tu tbo world. Ono night sho bcearv.1 eultJ enthusiastic.

A Percy uttertd his latwo-s Mi U ileox looked at him with All admi llig )n :e ,.n 1 ald; "Percy, my boy. 1 bo lt, ye jull." l!y this time each had (Intuited hh Igar and they parted for the til.-ht Mr. Wilcox promising t take a guod Uok at Mr. limerick next morning.

Neither could havo explained exactly bet each felt a keen disappoint ment that they did not see tbe reputed woalthy blt.wner again, llesidee they were pusxlod to utidursund why he should havo made such a lianty depart ure. They did not gain much satisfac tion from tbo clerk, for that functionary said be tlid not know tbo reason, except that lr. iimerh k bad told biiu ho was osllod to New York on buslue. In an hour tiie ship-owner bad almost pvssctl from their thought and they b. un to make preparations for tholr own' departure on the following tlsy.

Now York, a section of tho strel tnade dark by the elevated railroad, not a groat way from tbe llattury, thero is an old-fashioned building which doubt less has a history of Its own. but which was many yvar ago converted into mer cantile office. Nut so very long Uuee, on tbe glass door of a room on tbe sec ond door, the following lettering mlht hnvo boon read: "Ktuorluk A. to., 'outh American Merchant. " On the left-hand corner was printed in smailei totters: "Julius Kmcrlck." and on the right was tho nauio "Heury Howe," In dicating that these woro tbo nam of the two partners iu the Arm. Inside this room, seated at his desk In a private office partiiicHcJ olf with glass, sat Julius limerick, tho senior i.omborof tbo Arm. It was tho aftur noon of tho day on which that gentle man hod uiado a hurried departure from long llrtnch. His sudden return had tip ,ot tbe calculations of tbo clerks, nnd two out of tho three whom tho firm emj loyed were away tj a base-loll jrauu at Htaten Island. Tho discover; of this fact wbuu bo camo dov.-n to the ofllco after lunch bad irritated Mr. V.m ertck beyond measure, anl tbe solitary clerk who had boon left in charge was having a rather unpleasant time ut it with his employer, limerick was natur ally an Irrluble man, and to-day bo acted In nn excessively disagreeable manner. "Oojeb," bo called out to tbo clerk. "Sir?" wa the aubmlsuive response, "Ha tbe Trinidad cleared',1" "Yes, sir. sho cleared tbl mornln, and every thing Is ready. Sho sails this evening at sundown." "H;vc we received any dispatch from Mr. Howe lately?" "Only the one lying en your desk, lr, which has not yet been opened. It came In about one o'clock, after tbo other clerks had gono away." Mr. Umerick walked to his desk, and at once called out In n sharp tone: "There 1 no dispatch bore." "It must be there, I plucod it on your desk myself, sir." Then the clerk began to look for It nnd found It almost immediately. It wa covered up by a pllo of pa pern s. s. S. V -V N . KlTIl!"

Ho did not waste any time up braiding Mr. ltcllow for leaving the of fice during his absence; time wa Um precious, lit apoko sharply enough, however, when he said; "tlooch, you stay and loett up the office, and you, Mr. Hollow, jump Into the cab with mo nnd I will give you your Instructions as we ride." Tbo instructions which he had to give wore brief but positive. No one wm to know where hu bad gono an I hi t rea sons, ho said, were purely perionat. Ho would attend to tho bit dues of tbo bouse In liuono Ayres, but his name would not bo used coii'.plctiouaiy. As they alighted from tho cal at the dock.
