IRENE'S LOVER.
Tin re bad been a large tmbezz emcnt in
the ertat I at king house nl Blatsdul &

T ao weeks ticloto, Hurtv Traverse, the
tall, geutlemanly manager, had culltd for
his (lu-chirsje. stattnr as bis rca-

ing in his pale lace, do one tloubtc.l his
i.ttenHiit.
Blaisdcl wa just slatting on a pleasure
trip with his vule and daughter, but this
affair would keep him at home. He in
sisted on their going without him, how
ever, as a party nf Iriends went the same
roule in a few days.
John Dillon, the head e'etk, was id
stalled in Traverse's stead; he was an in
tenor person in stature, with pomc'lnn
disagreeable lurking in bis restless gray
eyes.

Thrre was an air ol n gleet about Mb

witli a bang over the dsncins! flgnr-, and

It was as muh as a elik's place was
worth to offttid B!ni-(tel, and sotnebody
h id clTende I him with a vengeance. Who
it as, he ha In't a doubt, and sent post-ha-te

Some tide' n minutes1 Inter, tint gentle
man came puffing into the offlne vtiry rd

A gay party ef ladies and gentlemen
were vtijiing the grand scenery and

Irene Bh isdel i t on a huge rocky

WELDON, N.
The jny ol Mrs. Blaisdcl, is herdailing
wag restored to her, can be better imag.
imd than described. Trnverse was the
bero ol the heur, but be declined the loan
of a dry suit, hurrying back to his loom
at the hotel.
The nrxt morning Irene awoke with an
aching heart, but bur heart was light with
a great happiness, and tho was out on the
shore at an early hour. Traverse, wh
came to inquire afier the girl he ha I save I,
found her there, an I together they strolled
away from observation, to talk over their
new-found happiness,
I lie week winch followed was one ol
such qtiist content to the lovers, that the
awakening, which camo so abruptly,
renn d too cruel and pitiless to be Hue.
rhey bud Inst returned Irotn a row on the
lake, one lovely alttnio in, when a horse
man rode into (amp, Inquiring for Tra
verse, wlin instantly recognized Farley,
and went Inrward to meet In in ; that olli i r
I'ljilaincl in a low lone, his business, with
as lew words as possible,
Traverse was for a moment dumb with
amazement.
'There is nmo terriblo mistake here. I
nevtr can submit to thoto.' be add. d,
quickly, wiih a look of patn on his ta.-c ,
8 Farley produced a pair of handculR
'I pledge you my honor 1
And I lien he lemembercd how little he
had left now,
Farley r aine lo his relief.
'If ou will come with me q l'ctly, I will
not put tin in on ; hut I must do my duty,
paint I as it may be. And through this
is a tr (1 s out ol my line, I came myscll,
instead of sending a subordinate, to spare
you as much ns possible.1
Traverse thanked him, aod obtained
leave to bid Irene goo lbyo.
This i xplunation ant leave-taking was
a very painltil all iir, and I enu sat in be
wil lemicnt, long urter he was gone, trying
to think what il was best to (lo, lor the
did not lor an instant believu him guilty.
Then at Ia4 she nude up her mind. She
sought out Mrs. Iilaisdul, whose lace ni l
liorc traces ol tears, and told her of b.r
trouble, and her love for this man.
The two 1 die left camp uixt day, en
route tor home, where tiny arrived dustv
and tired, in the gay dawu of the next
morning, surprising Mr. Blaisdcl out l
liis sell conl ml.
Irene was closeted with him a long lime.
Topi I her they went over the Iiooks, and
the result was a nms8ts!e tn Dalton, whote
face tiew ghastly, and who dropped the
inkstand he wa holding, when the mi s
sa.'er r q irtcd him to come immediately
to B ais.iel's private ulliee. IIu whs

thinking himself tonne, out, con'etsed his
guilt, even to the purloin'ng ol the r fli e
keys from Traverse. Th it gcniii-inan was
liberated, and in Hie autumn there was a
quiet welding, to which a lew paitiiular
Irimds were invited, and Traverse became
the husband ol the j'u he ha saved, and
h pa-tner in Ilia banking-house ol Ulaisdel
