At these words Mr, Wilcox sat bolt upright la bis ohalr, He was lull ol ia- tereatnorr. “Howdo yon mesa?

Then the Subject chsngsd a Uttl*, although Armida Was still the oae dismissed, Mr, Wllcupc leaned on tbo table, and witb a pleasant smile on hi* face be looked ’across St tbe man seated oppo­ site to him. “Percy,” he Ssid, “you aro a good deal older then ArmkU, but tell me now, like a man, don’t yon love ber?” The question was so sudden that Per­ cy was “non-piu»*cd.

But whan the next morning came he was doomed to disappointment, for on inquiring for Mr. Emerick at tho hotel office he and _Percy were told that the gentleman of that name had left on tho early morning train for New York. Neither could have explained exactly wily, but each felt a keen disappoint­ ment that they did not see tho reputed wealthy ship-owner again. Besides they were puzzled to understand why he should have tnado such a hasty depart­ ure, They did not gain much satisfac­ tion from the clerk, for that functionary said he did not know the reason, except that Mr, Emerick bad told him ho was called to New York on business. In an hour the sbip-ownor had almost passed from their thought and they be­ gan to make preparations for their own departure on the following day. . CHAPTER VIII. In one of the darkest parts of Pearl Street, New York, a section of tho street made dark by tho elevated railroad, not a great Way from the Battery, there is an old-fasbionod building which doubt­ less has a history of Its own, but which wa , many years ago converted Into mer­ cantile Offices. Not so very long since, on tbe glass door of a room on the sec­ ond floor, tbo following lotterlng might have been read: “Emerick & Co., South American, Merchants,” On the left-hand corner Wat printed in smaller letters: “Julius iEmcrlck,” and on tho right was the name “Uonry Howe,” In­ dicating that theta wore tho name*of the two partners in the firm. ^ Inside this room, seated at his desk in a private office partitioned off the calculations; o f aad two out of,th« fbcaa whom tha Am employed wort, away to a base-hall gama a t Staten Island. The dlsooveiy of tb lf.fact when bp cam* down to the otto* after lunch bad irritated Mr, Em­ erick beyopd measure, and the solitary clerk who bad been le ft in charge wa# baying a rather unpleasant time of tt Withbis employer. Emoriok was natur­ ally' an irritable man, and today he acted in an excessively disagreeable manner, “Godch,” he called out'to the clerk. **8lr?” was the anbmlssiva response. “Has the Trinidad cleared?” “Yes, sir, she cleared this morning, and every thing is ready. < She sails this evening at sundown.” .“Have we received any dispatches from-.Mir* Howe lately?" , “Only the one lying on your desk, air, which has not yet been opened I t came in- about' one o’clock, afte” the other clerks had gone away.” Mr. Emeriok walked to his desk, and a t pnoe called out in a sharp tone: “Tbere is no dlspatob boro.” “I t must be there, I placed it onyonr desk myself, sir.” Then .the clerk began to look for It and1found it almost Immediately. I t was covered up by a pile of papers \^W \< N f “ OOOCHl” RECAtXW>OUTTOTBEC1JCBK. * whloh Mr. Emeriok bad plaoed on it himself. The clerk went book to bla desk and Mr. Emerick sat down' to read the dispatch. I t w»s to the effect that Mr. Howe.' h it partner, who was down at Buenoa Ayres, was slok and wished to return to New York. As Mr. Emerick read, something almost amounting te a smile boamod on his face, only that when he smiled, his personal appear- anoe waa not at all improved, for i t was such an unmeaning, ghastly smile com­ pared with what smiles ate generally understood to be, that there was noth­ ing pleasant about it, Again tio oallod out: “Gooch." and met another rpn&y response, “Go over to Staten Island and find Mr. Bellew. Tell him to oomo to tbe offloe without a moment’s delay, no matter how interesting the game may bo.” “All right, Bli,” replied the clerk. “But bofore you go ring up a District' Messenger boy.. I want to send a note to Captain Dicre. I am going to sail, for Buenos Ayres op tbe Trinidad to­ night, and there is not a minute to be lost . Take a cab to tbe ferry and do not le t any thing interrupt you, Use every effort to find Bellow, at whatever •xpeut*. I will bo here In the office to meet blih a t five o’clock,", ■ GotxJh went off to fulfill Emsrlck’a bidding and tbo ‘merchant sat down to write a*n*te to send over to Captain Dscre, a t -the Brooklyn dock, tolling him fo prepare quartet* for himself. In a few mementiftho note was ou Us way and Mr*Emsrlckhnsied himself foe an houratralghtening up various matters. Then he walked out to Send a cable­ gram to his partner sdvialag him that he oonld nowleave Bueno* Ayres a t hie pleasure, as he proposed to start im­ mediately to take’charge of their office thete. After doing this he jumped into a cab and waa driven to his apartments, where he soon had every thing packed and was ready to start on his voyage. In tbo meantime Gooch was banting all over the base-ball grounds to find Mr. Bellew, the managing clerk. He was all of a flutter with excitement and the minutes were flying past with ag­ gravating rapidity.. I t wss after four o’clock before he found his man, and then tho two ran down to the landing and justmanaged to catch the ferry-boat. Another instant would have been too late; as it was, they bad to jump aboard, the boat at tho imminent risk of falling into tho water. The bystanders laughed a t their actions and shouted after them, bat they headed not. They reached the omco a few minutes beforo five o’clock and found their employer awaiting them. HeAid not waste any time up­ braiding Mr. Bellow for leaving the of- fleo during his absence; time was too precious. Ho spoke sharply enough, however, wlion he said: “Gooch, yott Stay and look up tho office, and you, Mr. Bellow, jump into the cab with mo. pad i will give you yoUr Instructions a* wo ride.” The instructions which he bad to give were brief but positive. No one was to know whoro bo bad gone and bis rea­ sons, be said, wero purely personal. Ho would;attend to tho business of the bouse, la Buenos Ayres, but his name would not bo used conspicuously. As they alighted from tha cab a t the dock, wteNithe w«aua iroppsd ber papers aaA. running after b la , shouted; “Al- pboosel Alphonset" In a wild yet almost Jpyful manner. Abe caught up with him and laid her hand' oh hi* coat sleeve, but be rudely *hook her off and said: “Hands off, woman. What do you mean?” “Alphonse, don’t you know me?” she piteously cried. But she did not have tbe opportunity to bear the reply, for tbe dock police­ man supposing sbe.'was supplicating for alms laid rude bands on her and soon forced, her outside tbe gates. .‘‘Let me follow him; he is my bus. band,* shesaid. ‘ ■* . . ■ “Arather likely story. Why, that is Mr. Emerick, the wealthy merchant and owner of the cargo in the Trinidad, ly­ ing a t the dock yonder,’’replied tho po­ liceman. . ■ “He ir not. ■He Is Alphonse Bregy, my Husband, who deserted me many yeathtago—16 must bo twenty—and I will follow him.” “You’re crazy, woman,” was tbe rough »piy- , By this time quite a crowd had gath­ ered and a lot of. Italian newsboys were fighting over the newspapers which they had stolen from themoor woman when, she dropped them. Tho crowd only laughed and jeered at her,’which so enraged the poor woman that sho became almost frantic, and in wild, despairing acconts cried out: "Oh, my God, I wish I was dead!” With these wild words she rushed off towards tho water’s $dge as though to jump in, but a man in tbe crowd inter­ cepted her and in the end the policeman arrested her on a ohargo of disorderly conduot.’ The wornan who caused all this dis­ turbance had sold newspapers in Brook­ lyn to gain a livelihood for. the past six or seven years. No one know and few cared to know where she came from or any thing of her history. The opy name Bho was called by was “French Emilie,” though her speech only slight­ ly indicated her nationality. She was, or rather had boon, a good-looking woman, but her features showed signs of dissipation 'which was sometimes so muoli intensified as to make her ap­ pearance horrible, Once she had grown communicative and told somo other woman who also sold papers hear to'Fulton Ferry that she was married in New .York more than twenty years ago. Her husband, she said, had deserted her and her boy baby soon after tbo birth of th e ‘latter, and she bad never heard of him since. Tbe baby bad grown into a find fallow who bad found employment in a; New Yorlq office, but growing tired of city life had gone West to the mining districts of Colorado, since which time she had never beard a word from him. This *£08 all that anybody knowabout French Emilio’s history. As tho unfortunate creature was be­ ing locked hp In the police cell, > the “Trinidad” was steaming out-into the East river and Mp Emerick was fairly on tbo way to South America Mr. Bellow rode hack to Pearl street wrapt in contemplative thought. Ho had always thought bis employer a strange man, hilt know nothing of hfs history other than Mr, Emerick hitnself had related. Mr,, Howe, the junior partner of tho Jinn, had built up a repu­ tation by working his way in an in- MSSWWIK' ‘ f • I No, I never have, and for the pres- .I Ao not intend to do so,” . * .
