DONALD DAItKE.

Continued from Third Tage. This was to him like running upon the lige of a precipice with the dread fear of beK at any moruent consigned to the depths. And actuated by this knowledge of his exceedingly precarious foothold and position in society he vu led to make a step which proved the turning point in his life. It is Impossible to say what might have become kf gay, reckless, and fun-loving, yet at heart reil-rueaning Tom, had not an overwhelming combination of circumstances served to make a change in his career. When he arose next morning after the night's festivities, his bead ached, and a feeling of languor had possession of him. H! did not go immediately down to breakfast, hu dresied himself, and seating himself by the open window which looked out upou the crystal lake, the scene of his tnuraph of the preceding day, gave himself tip to bitter reflections. For an hour he sat there in moody speculation, then all of a sudden n light broke across his handsome face, and suddenly springing to his feet in his characteristic way, he brought his list down forcibly upon the dressing cae. "I will do it!" he mattered. He descen led to the kitchen where his mother was preparing the morning meal, for the Ilathaways were poor, and did not keep servants. "Mother," he exclaimed, catching her in his Btron; arms; '"mother, I have got it!'' Mrs. Hathaway, a mild, blue-eyed little lady of forty-five, and to whom Tom was deTOted!y attached as she was to him, turned upon him a look of gentle surprise. "What have you got Tom?" "What; have I got, mother? This a determination to be a gentleman loafer no longer. A resolve to throw aside the old life and go forth into the world to prove xuytelf a man." IIow impulsiveTom kept this resolve the reader shall see in the course of this narrative. That evening he stood in the drawingroom of the Stockwell mansion, and Minnie Stockwell stood before him, both her hands in hi?, and her beautiful blue eyes upturned to his hanJsome face. "Then you are going away, Tom; going to I leave the town: "Yes, Minnie, and you can never know the pain it gives me to part from you.'" 'ßut why do you go?" "Because, Minnie," said poor Tom, desTerately, "because I am poor, and can not keep d the appearance I have been maintaining in society longer. Oh, Heaven! you can never know the humiliation of poverty." "Would to Heaven I did!" ejaculated the beautiful girl. "To tell the truth, Tom, I am tired aud heartily sick-of the life I lead. I hate society, and dress, and fashion. I wish I did not have a rich father sometimes, it is such a burden to keep up style." "Then you do not care for a man's pover ty," said Tom, softly pressing the little hands tighter between his big palms. "Would be content to share his lot so long S3 you loved him, be that what it may?" "Kven so. Surely love that is not selfsacriticing in valueless." "Tnank Heaven for that sentiment, Minnie," said Tom, suddenly drawing her to him. "You have given me worlds of encouragement. I can go forth now and breast tbe .storms of life with a braver heart, knowing that I possess the love of one so true and sweet as yourself. Forgive me for the outburst, but'l could not help it. It wa9 always a way with me to speak my mind, bluntlike, you know." "I fchail pray for your success, Tom. daily and hope that the day will not be far distant when you may come back " "A man!" interrupted Tom, eagerly. "Ay. and if such thing be possible I will prove myself such. Then I will return ; but would you wait for me, Minnie? Could you content yourself to tarry such length of time for such an uncertainty?" "Tom." said pretty Minnie, firmlr. putting both hands upon his shoulder, "I have told you once that as long as life lasts I will be true to you. With you I can be happy; without you the world is bare and devoid of aught of happiness. Is not that a sufficient acknowledgement?" "Ay!" cried Tom. "And as Heaven is my witness, I will be true to you, Minnie, and may you never rue the step you have taken. ou have made a man of Tom Hathaway, Fairview's greatest scapegrace, and you shall never be sorry of your bargrain, if I can help iL Tomorrow I will start forth to achieve fame and fortune." "Where will you go, Tom? Not away from Fairview?" "Not if lean help it, Minnie. I would not be far away from you. Yet on the whole I think It would be better to go abroad to seek rav fortune." "Oh, do not, Tom." "It would only be for a short time; then 1 might return to you a man worthy of your pure, true heart," said Tom, gazing with atfeCtion down into the pleading blue eyes. "Fear not for me, love. With the assurance ef your love I could breast a thousand storms and surmount any obstacle however large. I will not be away long, Minnie; then I will return and claim you with wealth and an honorable name to otfcr you. It Will not be for long, and wait patiently, love, f or the hour which shall bring us again iBgether." And this was how dare-devil Tom Hatharay started out in life. The future looked bright and promising to him now, for his love for Minnie StockH'ell had endowed him with a strong courage. Uut little he knew what was awaiting him "beyond the misty vail of the future, which, fortunately for them, no mortals can pierce. CHAPTER V. . TUE DUEL. Tom was employed es a banking clerk in the Fairview National Hank, ot which Wesley Urandon was Presidents Ilii position was one of much trust and importance, but the pay was exceedingly email and only served to keep him clothed in a sort of threadbare style. Now that he had made the firm resolution to become a man, he was resolved to give up this petty office and seek for something more lucrative abroad. He would have left that very day but that his engagement held him nntil another clerk could be procured to fill his place, and, ever alive to a sense of honor, Tom would not leave his present employer in the lurch. But, mach to Tom's disappointment, the officers of the bank, who were loth to let him go, did not immediately find one to succeed him, and he was detained longer than was consistent with his wishes. Meanwhile Hartley Brandon, chafing under his defeat in the boat race, and jealous -of the attentions naid the beautiful Minnie Stockwell by his rival, Tom Hatbawav (for Brandon was among the unfortunate ones who had sought the beauty a hand), was not idle ia hl3 schemes of vengeance. He was fully resolved to wreak revenge upon his foe, and that at any cost. Dark and murderous was ths hatred he bore him, and he would pause at no light scruples in hit undertaking. At firt he had thought of bringing Tom to hunr.hation by ouMing him from his po sit ion in the bank. As his father was President this would not have been a difficult matter, but he was somewhat surprised to find that Tom had already sent in his resig nation. At this he was not a little surprised and mystified. He knew very well Tom's cir cumstances, and also that he had hitherto relied much on this situation for support. What would he do no? What was his idea in quitting the bank? "Perhaps he thought it better," he finally IxM himself, with characteristic arrogance. uHe probably realized that he would have to get out before long, and thought it would be better to retire gracefully." He now looked forward to the coming duel to square accounts with his enemy,

and it was with a feeling of certain triumph and exultation that he daily examined and made practice with hia case of Milam as rapiers. For rapiers were the weapons he hai chosen, in the use of which few were more expert. If e had, when in Italy, taken a course of fencing lessons from the best sword-master in Florence, and felt himself able to meet anyone at the art. Tont, he knew, did not know anything about fencing, and this knowledge gave him wonderful assurance and courage. "I will show him," he muttered, "if he did beat me in the boat-race, there is a game he can not beat me at, and the laws are such that if I kill him in a contest of honor, such as this will be, it will not be murder. Ab, Tom Hathaway, you shall rue the day you ever crossed Hartley Uarndon." The whole Tillage knew that Brandon and Hathaway were to fight a duel, but where or when it was to transpire was known only to the seconds. Edward Sinclair iva? Tom's eecond, and Brandon had secured as his one Howard Benson, a genteel ruffian, and a man .whom the banker's son knew. He could rely upon him in any case of villainy. The day finally arrived, or rather the evening, for it was decided to fight by moonlight, and from the "Globe," a fashionable club

house on Fairview'a principal street, there drove away, early in the evening, a close carriage, in which were seated two men, Brandon and his second. Tne place appointed for the meeting was in a little forest glade, two miles from the town, and when Brandon arrived there he found his advenary awaiting him. Throwing aside his heavy cloak, Bran don advance', into the clearing, rapier in hand. In its center stood a tall, dark-clad person. with a siouch-brim. hat, and also holding in hi- right hand a long, keen-pointed sword. It was lom Hathaway dare-devil Tom, who a month ago would have enjoyed the situation for its very dare-devil nature, but who was now strangely pale and lh at cafe. "Ah, you are here," said Brandon, in his most insolent tone. "Indeed, it gives me pleasure to meet you." For a moment Tom did not speak; then, in a husky voice, he exclaimed: "Tins h you, Hartley Braudon! " I'Lut is my name." "You are here to meet me in mortal com bat!" "Yes." "In accordance with an agreement made between us two." "Certainly," said Brandon, in surprise. "Hartlev Brandon, have you considered the step we are about to take, both pf us?" "What do you mcanr "This: Have you considered the fearfully fatal conseow uces thu deadly encounter over an exceedingly trivial cause might engender?" "I have considered nothing, pauper. 1 have come here this evening to light you, as aereed. No further parley. Are you readv? If so, stand upon your guard." "Hold! Hartley Brandon!" and there was a tone of command in Tom's ringing voiee which cl a.ked the other in spite of himself. btop where you are; you have no right to begin this contest until lam ready. I would speak a few words with you ere we cross weapons." ' Speak them," grunted Brandon. "I hare considered the consequences of this duel, Hartley Brandon, if you have not. One of us must die, and the other be ban ished from home for many years, or stand before a tribunal of -justice and receive pun ishment Andforwhatr A few hasty words, a few angry feelings." "Well? ' "Shall we allow such a trivial dispute to perhaps take our lives, and if not, forever blast our after careers?" Brandon, mystified, did not reply. "1, for one, say no," said Tom, in a firm voice, "the cause was nothing, l, for one, candidly speaking, am sorry for my part in it, and offer a full apology! Let us, then, join hands, put away our weapons, and if we can not be friends in the future, at least feel assured that all past grievances are settled." Brandon was completely taken aback. Was this dare-devil Tom Ifathaway? He could not understand it. Why did he not want to fight? Wiis he afraid of defeat? This was the way the thing looked, out Hartley Brandon, from old acquaintance, knew that it was not the truth. What, then, did it mean? Ah, with the shrewdness of the born villain he guesses at once the truth. Tom was not actuated by motives of fear, but dread of disgrace, not only in the eyes of the world, but pretty Minnie Stockwell, as well. This realisation sent a keen pang of jealousy and rage through the soul of the villain, and nerved him to desperation. He would never throw aside his coveted revenge which he had so long waited for, now for a few scruples of conscience. No. Tom Hathaway should fleht him. and he would teach him a lesson which would serve to warn him in the future from crossing Hartley Brandon. "Toiu Hatbawav," he said, in a sneering, insolent toue, "the consequences of this question of honor no gentleman would 1au?e to consider; and tins is a late hour to iack out. If you were afraid to fight you should have said so in the first place. As it is, l put you upon your honor to meet me." "ou will not accept my apology?" "I accept no apology except at the point of my sword." "1 can not heht you. Hartley Brandon. I have sworn not to." "Liar and coward!" cried the infuriated villain. "You are afraid. You shall fieht me, by all the powers of evil! Stand upon your guard, or I will kill you!" Brandon made a savage lunge, but Tom caught the point of his rapier and whirled it aiide like a whip with his own trusty weatoa. "Beware, Hartley Brandon!" he cried. "I bid you stand back!" "And I bid you come on!" cried the mad dened ruffian. "If you are not a coward come on!" Tom drew back and evaded dexterously the savage thrusts made at him, standing on the defense. The truth was he was an expert swordsman, superior even to Brandon, having been trained even from infancy by his father, who had once taught the craft. Bright glistened the steel blades in the moonlight, until at length, with a magnificent counterplay, Tom, who had been coolheaded all the while, ran the point of his Sword down the other's blade, locking it in the scroll-work at the hilt, and, with a dexterous fling, sending it many yards away into the bushes. Astounded, enraged beyond measure, Brandon stood before his rival whipped, and wholly at his mercy. But Tom was not the one to take advantage of this. "Hartley Brandon," he said calmly, "I have fought you, contrary to my vow; out I will not take your worthless life. Go." And the villain, thoroughly cowed and mastered, slunk away to his carriage and was driven home. From that hour naught but murder see' bed in his black heart.

ANOTHER YEAR.

The vines I planted did not rrow I saw them in my dreamt In fair completeness Make Heaven throughout my lonesome room, in whispering snowy aweetness. They tried awhile their languid life to ralM, Ai though in answer to my coaxing touch. And then, like hearts whom we love over-much, And twine about with all our hopes and praise, They drooped and faded from the teeming earth. Unknowing all the joy of coming days. I fear their roota are dead, their roots are sore Aud yet they may bloom forth another year. Another year may warm the heart That only throbs for self, all cold, untendar; The wild may meet some valley sweet. Glowing in sunset splendor. Another year, oh, in yon silent land My rrountalns In their purple glory rise. And lden dreams thrill 'neath the yearning I know that, though long exiled, I shall stand Among my own onca mere, and hear tneir songs Swell lato glorious anthems sweetly grand. Bend thou, oh, glorious Presence! ever near. And bid me stilt hope on another year! Argosj. TABLE GOSSIP. There are in Paris a hundred women journalists.

A certain dean of Ely was once at a dinner when just as the cloth was removed, the subject of discourse happened to be that of extraordinary mortality among lawyers.

W e were at Kockland, and the steamer was blowing off, making noise enough to wake up a polieceman. A man and a woman stood speaking on the wharf.

We went up-etairs and were taken to the dcorofa bed-room looking out upon the Potomac flats; a cheery cry of ''Come in I" in a great, strong voice answered the Senator'8 rap, and I was vis-a-vis with the first President I had ever met. It waa a boiling, beezeless summer day, and the sole occupant of the room, divested of coat, vest, cravat, collar end Ehocs, sat in a great rockingchair, in his shirt, trousers, stockings and loose slipper, "only these and nothing more." As he rose and came to meet uf, I looked at him with surprise and wonder, for he was the most remarkable man I had yet eeen; and I don't think I have seen such a one in all my journeyings since. As he talked he became excited, and rocked nervously in his chair, and his o?g, lean leg, crossed over the knee of the other one, swung backward and forward like a pendulum, and, finally, from the violent swinging, off flew his slipper into the corner of the room. Never heeding it, he crossed the other leg instead, and went on with his ardent expression of feeling,in which Bingham joined, while I (as became my place) Eat by, silent, but much interested and amused. Presently off flew the other slipper, and,the conversation closing soon after, Mr, Lincoln rose and ushered us to the door with just three garments on his immensely long person! But he was, of all men, the most independent f the effect of clothing or the outward appearance. Had he been clad in skins, one would have been impressed with his greatness by seeing and hearing him half an hour. For he was an uncrowned King, a man amonsr men, Primus inter pares, greatest among all the great men of his age. Small SaTlngs. The man vho saves something every year is on the road to prosperity. It may not be Besible to save much; if not, save a little, o not think that a dollar or a dime is too small a sum to lay by. Everybody knows how little expenditures get away with large sums. But few seem to know that the rule is one that works both ways. If a dime spent here and a dollar there, soon makes a large hole in a man's income, so do dimes and dollars laid away soon become a visible and respectable accumulation. In this country, any man may make himself independent, or keep himself under the harrow tor life, according as he wastes or spends his small change. How many things do individuals and families buy they do not need or can not aflord. Think twice before you spend that little coin. Do not be stingy or mean, but also do net be foolishly self-indulgent. The self-indulgent person is far more likely to become ungenerous than the self-denying one. Tho money wasted on hurtful things alone tht medicines and drugs we mingle with our diet in the form of tea, tobacco, alcoh and the like stand on the very threshold of prosperity, and bar the way of thousands to a home in their old age.
