Mr. Blodger spent a great deal of his time at the American Exhibition. He was Interested in some patents being exhibited there and also met a largo number of his countrymen, Some of these ho would often invite to spond the evening at bis rooms in tho:hotel, and, as Mrs. Delaro occupied a suite of rooms on the same floor, he frequently introduced a' number of Americans to her. This led to recoptions and parties of various kinds, and Anally, finding that the Incessant whirl was too much for bfcr, she decided to leave the busy city for a time and spend a few weeks at Bournemouth, whither she and her daughter went. On the other side of tho ohnnnol. Mr. Emerick, in chargo of Mrs. Brogy and her son, was busy at Amiens, exerting his utmost endeavors to procure a settle­ ment With Mrs. llregy’s relatives, so as to avoid tho necessity of expensive liti­ gation. , • , His knowledge of the world was of great value to his quondam' wife and she was placing implicit faith in his ability to push matters to a successful issue and"Bottle every thing favorably. Hoc judgment was correct and it did not take long for them to secure tho large legacy. But no sooner was a final set­ tlement effected than Emericfc proposed to MrS. Brogy that she shonld disposo of the property and turn it into cash, after which they could return, to Amer­ ica. This slio did not appear quite will­ ing to do as she preferred to remain in Franco, Ht least long enough to permit Eugeno to finish a course of studies in Paris, lu which’city he had already se­ cured tutors in various branches. It should he understood, liowovcr, that Mr, Emerick did Dot show any un­ due haste In advising Airs. Brogy to dispose of tho property. Ho took mat­ ters coolly and resolved to let affairs run their course up to a certain point. tgi* V _ „ ' o ' O " lot us not TRotmi.F, our heads w ith tdk V ulgar details ok life .” Buthis plans were precipitated some- whatwhen sho inquiredof Mr. Emerlok howsoon, theirsecond marriage was to he consummated. This was something about which Mr, Emerick was in no particularhutky. In fact, ho told her: “I do not knowBut that I will resume my original name of Bregy and thua avoid tho necessity of otir 'marrying again,1" . “ I wish that you would do so, Al- phonte,’*said his fond wife, "Theonly happiness 1seek in the Ride worldinto haveyon «tll sgala.*?

Under this baneful *influ­ ence bis French blood had warmed' Up. and' before many days bad* passed be’ was rushing headlong into the mael­ strom of questionable pleasures. Itdid not take his father, with all the-expe­ rience gained by a ll his own course of life, more than a moment to note the change, A glance was sufficient, and yot, strange to say, bis father rejoiced at it, for this was tho condition in which be wished to And his son." Ho know that Eugene’s nature was not strong enough tp stand the temptations of %he fastest city In. the universe, and compre­ hended fully that ho would now he a pliable tool in bis own hands, Unnat­ ural as such rejoicing may seem, it was quite sincere on the father's part. As. for Eugene, ho could not understand the change of fronton Mr. Emerick’ s part. During the passage across the Atlan­ tic and throughout the remainder of' their journeying there had been a re­ serve between the two almost.amount­ ing to coldness.. Still Eugene did not trouble his befuddled head much to divine the cause; he noted •Emerick’s cordiality and willingly accepted it for what it was worth. Any one who had soon Eugeno In tho Now York grocery store a few weeks ago would not' have recognised him again under present con­ ditions. He had rigged himself -up pre­ cisely after the fashion of his now- found associates and was now a correct type, of the Parisian dude. Ho also foil into their ways with alarming alacrity and could already consume as much wine and smoke as many cigars as any in the crowd. Ho was not only like them, in respect to onjoymeht, hut also in study. It is one of the remarkable things about Parisian Students that no matter how late they .remain out at night or to what extent their midnight orgies may bo carried they are always present at the lecture and generally pass successfully through their courso of study. Mr. Emerick did not. confldo tho se­ cret of his wife’s recognizance to Eu­ gene at oncc..He proposed to wait until ho saw fully which- way the hoy was go­ ing. Ills nightly sprees wore becoming expensive, and ho was running through a groat deal of money. In fact, Eugeno was fast approaching a financial dilem­ ma, and had already- written to his mother to send him bn a further supply. Of course his mother sent it at once, but still sho wondorud why ho needed it- If he made such drafts as that on his slender stock of money left from tho. sale of the Store ho would Soon bo en­ tirely dependent upon his mother, and, notwithstanding that sho was ready and willing to find him nil he wanted, she could not help speculating as to. why it was he spent so much. Tho .Sunday after Mr. Emerick joined Eugeno in Paris, they both went out to tho races and on their way homo Eugene told Mr, Emerick he had bet his last napoleon nnd lost it. Ho need not hava told this, however, for Air. Emerick had watched him carefully and knew as much. Yet he did not betray his previous knowledge when Eugene told his tale. They were roll­ ing along tho Champs Elysces when tho conversation took place, and, 113 they turned off toward tho street where they were going to take dinrter, Mr. Emerick was about to toll Eugeno that ho would assist him to any extent when that youug.'man interrupted him with an ex­ pression of joy. Eugeno hailed the driver to stop and before Mr. Emerick know what had happened a decidedly fast-looking Parisian hello was being handed to tho carriage, Simple as the occurrence might seem to any one acquainted with 1tfo In tho French metropolis, it meant a great deal with Mr, Emerick and convinced him thatbe would bo able to carry out tho scheme* he had In mind with the greatest of ease, so far as finding a dupe was con­ cerned. ................. To have seen the manner In which tho father and son spent the afternoon and evening otic would hardly have Imagined that they were the samo pair who kneeled so devoutly at tho service in the MadGlalfco in the morning. Still, they only did as thousands of others did whose religion was a weekly affair, occupying about two hours each Sunday, They had kneeled and sat side by side in that beautiful and solemn edifice in tho mofniiig, ahd-. at midnight- they jingled glasses together In a third-rate dance-hall, called the Tivoli, situated on a side street near the Place da Chateau D’Eau, They had for a few moments drawn away from the crowd inside, ahd Were sitting in tho shade of some trees at a little table outside the main hall. Each wasexcited, with wine and the alder had become communica­ tive. ‘ ‘Eugene,” he said. "Y6u Are bavlhg apWjttyllVolytimo of it over here, Bather more .lively than weighing tea, anyhow,',’ , *.

His listenor soetnod almost prepared for it, for he asked in a moment: “How much will it take to entirely wipe out your debts?” 1 “ About .five thousand francs," an­ swered Eugene. “That is buta small sum. I will ad­ vance it,to you in the morning and you can tido over your trouble." After, these words Mr. Emerlok was quiot for some moments. Eugeno thanked him, hut otherwise made no reply. Having, as it seemed, got his thoughts into shape, Emerick leaned over the table and speaking In a low voice said; "Eu­ gene. I- have something to tell you which may affect your future If not told at onCo.” “ indqedt what la it?" inquired Eu­ gene. •‘"Nothing serious, 1 hope?” Without any further reference to the na.turo of hismows, Mr, Emerick said; “ Your mother’s recent acquaintance with mo came about, as you know, in a rather extraordinary manner.” "Yes, so I havo understood,” said Eu­ gene. "As you must know sooner or later. I may as well relate the circumstances to you at once." Whereupon lie proceeded to speakof tho occurrence at tho dock­ yard gate in Brooklyn and tho Bilbao- quont interview at his rooms in New York. When' bo got to tho point where his wife again recognized him ho, said: “Your mother mode no mistake. I am her husband And your father.” When Eugene heard these words he dropped tho wine glass ho was raising to iiis lips on to tho table and'ex­ claimed: "Then why did you change your name?” " I have already had to refuse your rnothbr An answer to that question and for the present must decline to answer you. When the proper time arrives ybn khii) learn my reasons,’’ This was all the satisfaction* which Mr. Emerick gave.. Eugeno was mystified beyond measure and hardly knew what to say in reply, but he contented himself With observing: "Well, you may have good reasons but it seems to mo like unneces*' sar.v mystery between fathor and son.” ' "In due time it will all be explained, to you,” Uaid. his lather, &Kiit>EUgenei was full of grave suspicion. Ho had himself rled such an opcp,,hcue8t life, that niac'h unexplained and actions on the part o t his father gave him grave- apprdhensiOhs-thiLfc ho was hot the man of integrity for which ho passed ih the byes of the world. Ho tnado no further allusions, howoVof, until late iff the evening when he ahd Mr- Emerick wore sitting in tho robms of the latter. Tho conversation bad turned on Eugene’s friends, thd Do- latos. It was Eugene who first men­ tioned them atid If ho lihd bebn niorO Observant he would have noticed a strhngo look pass over his father’s fgoo, which almost seemed like anexpression' of fear. Ho told his .father all'About tho accident Which threw him across the path of the Dclaros, ahd lie spoke of Armlda in such terms of praise that his father felt constrained to bay: “ You’ teom to have a aoft place in yoiir Heart for this low ly creature whom you do- acrlbe.” ~ .

He died only a short time since and left uUhis. wealth to this Percy Lovel, ” “ A dead man can not have much use for mbuoy,” mused Mr. Emeric-k, while aloud he. added: ' “ 1 wonder what will become of It all?” ‘ ’ . “ It will doubtless find an owner some day,” Eugqno responded. “ It would bo a very'comfortable sum for .a poor fellow to got hold of, and would enable him to dispense with the necessity of resorting tp vulgar labor for the rest of his natural life,” said Mr. Emerick. Turning his, eye’s directly towards Eugene’s face; be asked: "What would you'do. Eugene, if you wero possessed of such a sum as that fortune repre­ sents?" . . "Propose to Armida Delaro as a first step,” was tho answer. "And if she refuse you, what then?" asked Emerick. . ' “ la that case tho money would give mo very littlo pleasure, for thero is no other woman on earth whom I would oare to marry," answered Eugene, "If you had that amount afryour back you, would not bo long in finding one, anyhow," ivas Mr. Emerick’s next re­ mark. Then as Eugene did not appear ready with a reply ho leaned over to­ ward him and whispered: "How would you like to got a shave of that wealth?” "Very well, if I could come by it hon­ estly,” said Eugono. . “ Como, now, don’t put on such, strong moral airs, Eugene; you know that so long as you get it, you would hot care ko’}v you came by it.” / As Eugene heard these words he stared at his father with firo gleaming from his eyes and said in an angry tone: “ It is a lucky thing for mo that I did not moot my father until .my morals were formed or it would be difficult to surmise where my career might have' led mo. If those-are your sontiments do not try to graft them into mo.” "Your fltof morality will pass away in a few moments; then I will talk to you." said Emerick, in au oxasporating- lycool voice. And sure- enough, whon Eugene bad, as bo thought, cooled down, lie spoke, again: “ You-know that you hoed money, unless you are going to live on your mother’s means; and by a simple act on your part you can got a good fortune of your own. ” “ Explain your meaning,” said Eugene. "My meaning Is simply this,” said Mr. limerick. “ Percy Lovoi, the En­ glishman, is dead. His next of kin may novor bo found, and that monoy will bo waiting for some ono to claim i t I know a tnnn who rosembios Percy Lovel as much as two peas resemble each other, and, ns tho money will never do the State any good, I propose ithat ho should personate Percy Lovel and claim old Wilcox’s fortune.” “Great God! What kind of man are you’-”’ askod Eugene. “ Surely, you are not my fathor?” Ilo sp'oko loudly, but in English, so that tho by-standors did,' not understand him. "Do you expect me to tako a hand in Such'work as that?” "A ll that 1shall ask of you is that you procure mo a specimen of Percy Level's handwriting.” From tho manner in which Mr. Emerick spoke, it was plainly visible that he still helieved* Eugene to be (muming bis attitude of offended morality. “ I could not if I would,” said Eu­ gene. This remark encouraged Mr. Emerick, so that be smiled, and vosumed in a rapid, earnest manner: "You can do it quite easily. All that you have to do is- to go over to London, tell Miss Delaro.that you aro wealthy, and claim her hand. Then watch yotu oppor­ tunity to open her writing (teak and take one of Percy Lovel’e letters out. I know she hoq lots of them." “ Npalr.
