This was not. to be quietly . borne. Mr. Chappell, who was ruled by his wife, agreed with her, and agreed with her also in the declaration that the lirm of Chappell,' Chappell & Chappell had done a great deal for the country, by its name and unblemished reputa tion, to say nothing of its vast mone tary operations, ami that it was high time, its principal representative re ceive 1 a baronetcy. The accomplish ment of this anibitioiw desire required expenditure; political influence was i necessary, and political influence could not im-"-.iie.-raired .by one who kept lus .jrse-tringK closed. Never iu tiics woild's history was iiioiiey more potent than in the present decade ; it simply accompUshed 'all things and with fair tact and per severance, and a certain amount , of effrontery, could purchase all things. This "fact was recognized by Mrs. Chappell, and it was probably owing to conliderntjal outpourings of her soul upon his subject to her husband that lie had drifted into speculation.

Richard Bai-ton was delighted with his reception, and shook the banker's hand cordially again and again. The en trance of this young man was like a puff of fresh country air in a place which had been pent- up for years. There was nothing of city life about him neither craft, nor despondency, nor care. His sun-browned, -handsome face sparkled ' with pleasurable excitement; his clear, outspoken, brown eves beamed with honostv nature dwelt in them. His features were emphatically laughing features. He had a trick of looking pleasant, which was natural to him. His was a face which women and children would trust instinctively. "Well, now;" he said, "this is hearty of you; .1 like you." ; - "That is right, my dear sir, rejoined Mr. Chappell, with a frank smile; 'we want you to like us. Well make you like us more before we've done with you." "Why," exclaimed Richard Barton, "until this morning I was beginning to think that I bad traveled sixteen thousand miles over the sea to be frozen into an icle of conventional politeness, and to have every drop of cordiality' squeezed clean out of .me. Tell me do you see anything strange iu niv manner?" ' "A girl's face, of course," observed Mr. Chappell, with an indulgent smile. "Yes, a girl's face, fair and beau tiful. ''Dangerous places, i the theatres filled with siiens. Beware of them." ''This'oTie is no siren," said Richard Barton, m a soft tone; "in the sense that you mean. She is as good as she is beautiful; I am sure of it. You will understand me better when I tell you that I lost my mother when I was very young, and that I have but a 'dim, sweet remembrance of her face. Tliis girl's fjee resembles hers. That is alL I hojie you will not think me foolish for meiitioning so trivial a circum stance." f "Hunk you foolish, my dear sir!" exclaimed Mr. Chappell, with ready rytap'iy, pressing his visitor's hand warmly. "Your sentiments do you honor. : As a father,. ' I am proud to hear thein from the Hps of ii young man." "Thank you," said Richard Barton, simply and quietly; "I am glad you did not laugh at mo." Mr. Chappell changed tho subject "Then you begin to like London, after ally" "I am not quite sure. There are a great many people in it, but they are all strangers. Do vou ever find it .ieiv chus. j Iu the performance of my task I may ask for your assistance." ' You ma' depend upon it, my dear sir," said Mr. Chappell, cheerfully;' "you may depend upon it." "Thank you. In the mean time, as I do not wish my money to lie idle, 1 shall be glad to take your advice in the matter of investments." "I shall be most happy to give it," replied! Mr. Chappell, rubbing his hands, -j Whili these Liiit woids were being exchanged, a short dialogue was taking place outside the door. Frederick Chiippell, Mr. Chappell's eldest son, had sauntered into the hall, and be fore entering the room, paused to ex change a few words with TraiL . Mr. Frederick justified the confidence which the young clerks of the bank pkoced in him in the matter of dress. He was the very pink of fasliion a model of ease and elegance.

"There's no danger of Mr. Barton losing his nttraction," said the banker, entering into the humor of the con versation; "he has too much of it." "Can't have, dad. . I wish I were in his place. Look." With, an air of comical distress, he pulled out ; the lining of an empty pocket, and ex tended it for observation between two lingers. "For the credit of my name , ji you might give me some money ,Jdad. If I were to be searched it would be a lasting disgrace to the house, for 1 haven't a shilling." "You forget," interposed Richard Barton, that I have a pocketful." "No, I don't. Ill borrow of you by-and-by." ; - -. At which "all the gentlemen laughed in conceal.

A thousand wel comes.

'You must be on your best behavior,' said a friend to me over the water; 'you must inind your p's and q's,' I have had one or two experiences, though, for I have de layed rather in delivering my letter of ieiie&witi3"to taste tho sensation of being in a great city where there were hundreds of thou sands of people, and where your very name was not known. Would you like to hear one of my pleasant ex periences! "I shall be delighted." "Well Ha! ha! ha! I can't help laughing for the life of me, when I think of it. I've had my pocket picked." Mr. Chappell could not exactly un derstand what pleasure there could be iu this reminiscence; but as he was anxious to please and conciliate his visitor, he smiled, as if he really saw in it. "The cleverest trick," continued Richard Barton. "I was walking along the Strand quite comfortably, when a gentleman tapped me on the shoulder. 'I beg your pardon,' he said, 'but this is your handkerchief, I believe.' It was mine, and I took it from him somewhat abruptly. 'A young rascal,' he said, not noticing my rudeness, was picking it from your pocket when I snatched it from' his band. He made off at-- once. These common pick pockets know how to make good use of their heels.' He raised his hat, and almost before I had time to thank him and apologize, he turned down a street, and I lost sight of him. I was sorry for it, for I felt that I had behaved uncivilly. Then comes a policeman By-the-way, did you ever see a Lon don policeman smile ?' "I have never remarked it.' "They do smile sometimes, I sup posewhen nobody's looking. Weil, then comes a policeman, and points to niv watch-ehain. It was hanging loose.. I clapped my hand to my waist-coat pocket, to find that my watch was gone. The clever rascal quite a gentleman, I assure you had first taken my handkerchief from my pocket, and while he handed it back to me, stole my w atch, bharp trick, wasn't it? Upon my word, I've al most made up my mind if I meet him again, to make him a present of the chain." "Certainly," thought Mr. Chappell, when he heard the adventure related as a pleasant experience, "this young gentleman is an oddity, and requires a friend. You have had other pleasant ad- H W W 1 1 1 ventures, vou say, ne observed witn a slight cough. " Not adventures experiences. But here Richard Barton blushed, and said, "Ah, well perhaps I had better not tell you. You will only laugh at me. You won't? It's only a face." "A face!" "There ! I ought not to have spoken of it "Why not, though? There is no harm in it It was a face I saw in a theatre." everybody is in every other body's way. Why, to me the very houses seem to be jealous of their neighbors, and to be poking their olbows into each other's sibs. I am glad to be here, though.

But they must be, they must be; they could not wTrite else. Do vou know any of them, sir ?" "Yes, and so will you when you mix "in society." (Mr. Chappell had it on lis lips to say, "You will find them very ordinary persons, after all;" but he thought it wiser not to attempt to dispel the young man's illusions. He had a feeling of both admiration and contempt for his visitor's freshness. "Mrs. Chappell will be most happy to study your wishes in this respect. You will come to my house to-morrow evernng to dinner a few friends after a little music quite a simple .affair. My wife will be delighted; she has a passion for celebrities, and I dare say one or two lions will drop in in the course of the evening. Then my son Frederick will show you about; he knows every inch of London. I shall not wonder to hear you say, after a little while, that it is the only city in the world worth living in." ' I am sure I am quite ready to think so; it has brightened consider ably since I have been in this room. Now, what da you think I came to London for?" Somewhat surprised at the question, after the young man's enthusiastic outburst. Mr. Chappell replied, "To see its wonders, and to enjoy life as a young man of mean3 should do." "No," said Richard Barton, with a different kind of earnestness; there were both sorrow and sternness in his tones now. "Notwithstanding what I have said, it is doubtful whether I should have crossed the seas, but for one other settled and specific purpose. Born in the colonies, and living the "ree life many men lead there, I think should have been content there to proceeded Trail; "a singular gentle- i .-dv.v.vs find a k man very singultvr.

With"' his hand upoii the handle of the dyor, he was about to enter the room, but paused o say carelessly : - "You delivered my letter?" To the young lady, Miss Laura, sir Oh, yes." "Did you see the young lady her-1 self?" "Yes, sir." "Was there any answer tofhe letter?" These questions were put in a tone of Utter indifference. "The young lady seemed surprised, exc uH.; me.

Very good. Seemed surprised? What else did she say, then ?" Frederick Chappell nodded, and again was on the point of entering the room ; but although he made a show of turning the handle, it remained motionless within his hand. ; 'Oh, by-the-way, Trail," caid Fred erick Chappell, as though about to say something of little importance which had accidently escaped him, "if she happens to call when my father is in, you will say that he is busy.

Trails understanding being strength ened through his palm by contact with apiece of silver, he replied that he understood, and added that the yonng lady had said she might be a few min utes late, as she had . a long rehearsal to go through.

In a few seconds the father shouted to be drawn up, as he was fainting. The rope broke ! But he had time to wrap the end around his wrist, and was drawn out, per fectly senseless, hangiiig limp, by one arm. - ' Meantime another colored f man named Turrentine had teen nikking efforts. Ho went down, and was hauled up senseless. After recovering he went down again and made a stren uous effort to dislodge Kirkpatrick, but was hauled up . senseless.
