T h e approach to the offices o f Girdle slime A Co. was not a very dignified one A narrow doorway opens into a long -white-washed passage. On one side of this Is a brass plate with the inscription. “ Oirdlestone A Co.. A frican Merchants.” and above it s curious hieroglyphic sup posed to represent a human 'land in the net o f pointing. Followfhg the guidano o f this emblem, the wayfarer firds hint- self in a small square yard surrounded by doors, upon one of which the name o f the firm reappears in U rge v h it ( let ters, with the word “ push” pr.nted be neath i t I f he follows this laconic invi tation he w ill make his way iuro a long low apartment, which is the countin' house o f the A frican traders. On the afternoon o f which we speak things were quiet s t the offices. Misty \ Loudon light shone hasily through the glased windows and cast dark shadows in the corners. On a high perch in the background a weary-faced, elderly a with muttering Ups and tapping fingers, cast np endless lines o f figures. Beneath him, in front o f two long shining mahog any desks, h alf a score o f young men ap peared to he riding furiously, neck and neck, in the race o f life. A n y habitue o f a L ondon office might have deduced from their re lent! ess energy and incorruptible diligence that they were under the eyes V some member o f the firm. T h e member in question lesasd against tbe marble mantelpiece, turning over the pages o f an almanac, and taking from time to time a stealthy peep over the top o f it at the toilers around him. Com mand was Imprinted in every lint o f his strong, square-set face and erect, pow erful frame. There was something class ical in the regular olive-tinted features and black, crisp, curling hair fitting tigLr- ly to tha well-rounded head. Yet, though classical, there was aa absence o f spirit u a lity I t waa rather the profile o f one a f those Roman emperors, splendid in k-s animal strength, but lacking those anbt’ e softnesses o f eye and mouth which speak o f an inner life. Suck was Kara, tin only child o f John G.rdleatoae, and the hair to the whole o f his vast business. . The junior partner waa silent, and th- clerks were working uneasily. Their fears were terminated by the sharp sound o f a table-gong and the appearance o f a boy with tbe announcement that Mr. Oirdlestone would like a moment’s conver sation with Mr. Kara. T b e sanctum o f M r. John Oirdlestone waa approached by tw o doors, one o f oak weth groundless panels, and tbe other covered with green baise. Tha room Iteeif waa small, but iofty, and the w alls were ornamented by numerous sections o f tiilps stock upon long flat boards, very much* an the remains o f fossil fish xra exhibited la museums. There were also several pho tographs o f the various vessels belonging to the firm, together with maps, char's and lists o f sailings innumerab’e. Above the fireplace was a large water-color painting o f tbe barque Belinda as she appeared when on a reef to the north o f Gape Palmas. A n inscription beneato this work o f art announced that it had painted by the second officer a n i ■ted by him to the head o f the firm. I t was generally rumored that the mer chants had lost heavily over this disas ter, and there were some who quoted it aa an instance o f Girdles!one s habitual strength o f mind that be should decorate hia wall with ao melancholy a souvenir. John Girdleetone, aa he ta t at h s square office table w aiting fo r hia sou, waa undeniably a remarkaole looking man. F o r good o r for evil ns weak character lay beneath that hard angular face, with th e strongly marked features and deep-set eyes. H e waa known to be a fanatic in r>- Hgioa, a- purist in morals, and a man o f the strictest commercial integrity. Yet there were some few who looked askance a t hint, and none, w v e one, who could ap ply the word friend to him. H e rose and stood with his back to the firs as hia son entered. H e was aa tall that he towered above the younger man, but the latter’* square and compact frame made him, apart from the difference o f age, tbe stronger man. “ T h ere’s news o f tbe Black Eagle,” he m id. “ She ia reported from Madeira.” “ Ah ! " cried the junior partner eagerly. “ W h et lu c k !" “ She Is full, or nearly ao, according to Captain Ham ilton M i a s ’ report. “ I wonder Miggs was abla to send a report at all, and I wonder still more that you should put any faith in It," bis sou m id impatiently. “ The fellow is «e v e r sober.” “ Miggs is a good seaman, and popular oa the coast.

The merchant paused irreso lutely for a moment, and then ascending the broad staircase he push.-d open the door o f Harston’s room and entered. The blinds were drawn down and the chamber waa very dark. A pungent whiff o f disinfectants issued from it, mingled with the dank, heavy smell o f disease. The bed was in a fa r corner.

H e pulled tbe cord o f the Venetian blind so aa to admit a few rays o f daylight. The great chamber looked dreary and bare, aa carpets and hangings had been removed to lessen the chance o f fnture infection. John Girdle- stone stepped softly across to toe bedside, and ant down by his dying friend.
