CHAPTER XII. HORROR !

("•Jasper, you're a fool! Drop it! Drop it, old fellow, and have done with it,' said Tom Tobin.

f 'It's of no use for you to preach, Tom. I couldn't drop it if I would. Weren't you ever in love f

jf • Yes, I have been in love more times than I care tell ; but love for another ; never blinded me to my own interest. Pah! you are setting a trap that, | when it snaps, will be very likely to ; close on the leg of the man that sets it. I can see in this case further, and more clearly, than you can. Jasper, if you know when you're well off, you will do as I advise you. Give this I thing the go-by. Come, listen to me ! this time, I beg of you.' ' I tell you, Tom, it's of no use. I couldn't give her up if my very life ;was threatened. The first time 1 set eyes on her beautiful face I was done ifor; and yet she was but a school-girl, | just out of her short frocks. She (bewitched me, and her beauty has ■bewitched me more and more ever since.' '■ 'But, bless my soul! the girl, ac cording to your own account, won't look at you; or if she looks, it is with a frown and a flat refusal.'

1 Aye; and for that very reason I've sworn that she shall be mine. If I can get her on board the brig, you won't put a block in my way V (No, Jas., I won't try to block your wheels; but I promise you that I won't help you to get her off. I tell you once more, I see mischief in the movement. As true as you live, evil will come of it. But, say—what is this new wrinkle you've got 1 What bone have you to pick with Arthur Singleton ?' 1 I'll tell you, Tom. I'm going to set two curs by the ears. I wiil send Singleton to pick a quarrel with Walter Vernon. Oho! I'm on the inside. On Saturday I saw Singleton writing a note on gift-edged paper—on a sheet that had for a vignette two hearts skewered by an arrow. He was called into the old man's private room just as he was writing the last line. I had caught Marion's name at the head of the page, and I had a curiosity to see what he was saying to her, though I could well imagine. I seized the opportunity, and ran my eyes over it. It was as I thought. He had offered her his hand, telling her that his heart was hers already. Poor fellow !He don't dream how snugly young Vernon is housed in that quarter. He hopes to win her for hfmself ~- Singleton does.. . Well,, that Jptter was sent on Saturday evening. A few hours later Vernon was with her.'

• How do you know ] 11 met him on his way there, and I stopped him and warned him off.' : 'By the mass, Jasper 1 you are a bigger fool than I thought you !' ' I can't help it. I warned the young ;• puppy, as I said: and then I followed ihim, at a distance, until I had seen him :at Wilraot's door, He thought full 'sure I had gone off in another direc tion'

■ Well, old man, what do you make of all that % 1 fail to see any point/ t why — don't you see 1 Marion, of course, showed Singleton's letter to Vernon. What will be the result? \l will be this: Walter Vernon will !call on Arthur to give him the girl's \ answer in his own way. So much I 'have discovered: or I know at least 'that the pair will meet this evening, [as I heard Vernon ask his rival if he ' should be at home. Singleton's answer was yes.' 1 < And now, Jas. 9 you are going to i Singleton to put him up to mischief, ehf ' Call it what you please. I docer tainly hope to set him by the ears.' _ ' You are going now to interview- Singleton V \ ' That is my purpose.' \ (Jasper, you look dangerous.' j. 'Egad! I feel so/ • Once more, old man —look to your self. I don't believe you realise what you are capable of.' j ' Zounds ! I think you and I both, jTom, are capable of pretty steep ' Aye; but I feel no sympathy in ;such a transaction as is that you are now bent upon. But go ahead. All is, if the trap should chance to close upon your own leg, don't say you were -nof warned in season.'

' Yuu sha'n't be called upon to share ! the danger, at all events. And so—l'll you good-night. Ah ! by the way, ', are you going to the club V ' That's where I'm bound.' c All right. I'll drop in by-and-by. Wait for me, will you V i! ' I'll wait till eleven o'clock.'

1 1 shall be there before that. Good luck to you.' ' I wish you the same, old man; but I fear you'll not find it.' 'I'll risk it. TaltaS' Tobin stood and looked after his companion as the latter strode away. :'I don't like it,' he muttered to as Benwick disappeared be jyond a turn of the street. 'Why can't he be content to let well alone ? He has closed his hand upon a .generous sum of Wilmot's money, and fis in a fair way to capture more. Why can't he leave the girl alone ? I'm if I wouldn't block bis little |game in that direction if I knew how |to do it. His pail is full, and now jhe'll kick it over. Well, well, don't let him think to saddle his troubles on me. I have warned him; and now, if he will run his head against the wall, or his leg into a trap, he must get

out of it the best he can.' And with this Tom Tobin went his way, and soon forgot his friend's troubles in the company of a genial companion at the supper table. On this same evening Arthur Sin gleton sat alone in his chamber at the hotel in which he had found quarters since he had been employed in Wil mot's banking-house. It was a cozy, comfortable, home-iike inn, with but little transient custom. The boarders were mostly permanent, for when once a guest had become domesticated there only a removal from the city could tempt him to seek another abiding place. Arthur's room was on the second floor, overlooking a piazza which ex tended the whole length of the front of the house. From either of his two windows, in pleasant weather^he could step out upon the slightly inclined roof of this piazza, and there smoke his after-dinner cigar, and look upon the busy life of the street below. He had furnished the apartment after his own tastes and fancies, and there was much to please the eye, aa well as to give comfort for the body. (To be Continued on Monday.)

John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. Ibelieve you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to the stomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From tliia I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, and certainly.think you should do a largo trade in such an excellent article.—Yours vow truly (Signed) FBEDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohlmarama, „, ~ Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—Wo have now beon using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that we all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would and it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30,1887. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou d be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would saUsfy nim but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for nim, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) W, CARDER, Orphan Home, Parnell, ~..,_ , May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meat, having used it for some time. The children all like the Patent Porridgo Meal better than anything they have had before. We thank you for supplying a long-felt want-a pure Porridge Meal, prepared so as to keep all the most valuable properties of the wheat.-!! am, sir, yours truly, (Signed) jj, NEARY, Matron.
