Tflli TliLLKR'S STURY.
HAD been in lue employ of the bank¬ ing houso of Day ,V Cu. from a boy, and worked my way up¬ ward from one po¬ sition tu auother until I occupied tbe responsiblo post of Idler. Old Mr. Day liked aud trusted me, aud, as au es¬ pecial mark ot his favor, was in the babit of inviting me to dinner nu Sunday afternoons, a favor I shnrad with Jt-rumo Nay Ior, tbe cashier and jncior partner io tho flrm. Mr. Day waa a widower, and bis only daughter aud heiress, Enid, did tbo honors of his table.
Beautiful Euid Day I I shall never forget, nor do I wish to forget, while I live, tbat aftozuoon ot our first meet¬ ing. It waa one of those dull, sound¬ less autumnal days, when tbe frowning sky threatens atorm and yet withholds it, oppressiag the heart with a vaguo sense of something evil to come, snd a profound melancholy which one can neither define nor shake off.
Yet as 1 entered that parlor a swift change to inexplicable happiness came ovor me. Standing there, where the warm hue from the half-drawn crim¬ son curtains fell acroi's her simply •lad ligure, nhe seemed to me like the embodiment of all tho song, perfume, sunshine and oxhilaratiun of early spring. She was very voung, but her form, despite its girlish immaturit.r, was nobly developed. Her face, with its Eoft, oval onlline, its pallor, deep¬ ening in tbo checks to the tints of a rose's faeartt the large, violet eyes—a child's eyes in thoir innocence, and yet a womau's eyes in their depth aud suggestion ot strong emotion—ber faoe, I say, as 1 saw it at that momeut, uever again faded fiom my sonl. At that flrat instaut I loved her; ond it was with a voico tbat shook and a hand that, touching ber little palm, trembled as if guilty of a sacrilege, that 1 greeted her.
Jerome Naylor, standing by, wit¬ nessed our lirst meeting; and as, by aome intuition, I glanced aside at him, I caw a look in his pale eyos tbat I re¬ called long afterward. Then I was too confused, too inexperienced in lore of lovc, to comprehend its mcauing. But there came a day when I could inter¬ pret only too clearly, its bitter malice and hateful resolve; for .lerome Nay¬ lor bad long loved Enid Day, as such men love; had even oflered bimself and been refused, and his keen glance bad already detected a riral in thc blunilering, stammering youth, whoso rolo thought at the moment was bum¬ ble, almost unconscious, adoration.
Yet, it was more than simple love ; it was wonder, rcveronce aud devotion soch ns, in tbe old time, tbe prostrate worshiper felt for his divinity. As limo went on, and I saw ber again and again, my love grew upou me, ua¬ til it becnmu tbe ruling principle ol mv life; and as I came tn know my own hoart I aiuo learned bow wild a bope it was that I unurinbod iu my breast. Evin if eo rare an example of Qod'sbaiidiwnrk could have stooped to lovc so unworthy a man aa I knew myself to be, bow could a salaried clerk of tbe rich banker )ireteud to tho baud of his only daughter and heiress?
So dsy by day the gloom of a deep despondency darkened upon my life. I grew ailent aud abstraoteil. I per¬ formed my duties as faithfully as ever, but I uu longer laughed and jested with my fellow clerks, uur joined in the amusements of thoir leisure hours. Jerome Naylor wan invariably oourle- ous in lis treatment ul mc, but I caught more than oue sidowiiio glance of bis eye, that, had I boon lees ab¬ sorbed iu my uwu trouble, might have startled me. But hopeless nf tbo one thiug which could have made existence valuable lo me, what bnd I to lear from Iho worst his malice could devise':*
Latterly I bad absented myself from the UKual Sunday alteruoon gathering at my employer's table. One day ho came tn mo whore 1 benl over my books, and clapping me upon tlio tboulder, iu hia genial, kindly fash¬ ion, said;
¦•rre?cotl, mv boy, if ynn do uot dine with uk to-morrow alternoon, you will makujan enemy of Eniil."
1 muttered sumething about not having felt vi-ry well uf IhIi-.
"That IS wbat I told my girl," re¬ plied Mr. Day. "I i^aid you were looking tbin ami pale and generally ont of sorts. Whereupou she aston¬ ished me by gHlliug very angry and accusing yon of-what was it?—ego¬ tism, I believe, though why, wby, I do uot quite understand. .\uy wny, she lua lu it a coudiliou of ber future favor tbat you ahoiiM tnke dinner with US to-morrow, ho 1 Invo ileliv- ero-l my mfuage. You'll come, uf 3oiirei', Xaylgr?"
Theu I saw that thc cai<bier bal beeu slnnding behind Mr. Day aul had overhear.I our c.niv.-rsaliou.
"1 shall bo deli»,<bled, " rcbpomltd Naylor, with a peculiar >;Unet> at me. ".Vnd surely our yonuu frieu 1 oiiunul reutt su iuvitution cotiohe.l m ^ ic'.i terms and emanating from sjch a source''"
"I will come," I faid brieli.e, for the cashier a luauuer aflected toe with su inexplicablv nopl lu-ucl ^cUbdliou, auil tutued again lo my work.
I reached the Pay mansion at ul early hour tbi' neit afteruouu, aul, lu- I had hoped, vd leareJ, Jo'jud Kii' i alone in tbe ilrawiu^ room. hue dul uot taru tu meet me aa I enirvel.

I pointed nt Naylor, "is falso-heiirteJ, p.ueed lit onco, au,l looking do-vu ' unworthy ol your coulidence, a liar cnupht tlic gleam of two violet eyes . uud a forger, Tbm mnn," touching lifted to miue—cyeH that at once lue upon the arm, 'is iunocoul, bou- smiled nud reproached,  promised nud   ornblc and iucapa'ole of  falsehood.     I
reproved. 1 turned and caught both the warm little hauda in mine, and, scarcely conscious ol what I did, iiftod them to my lips and kiasc.l them iu turo. Her name Eeeinod to tear it¬ self from the depths of my bosom wilh nn accent of passion nud pleading thi.t must have tol I her my wholo story, bad she beeu iguorant of it be¬ fore.
"Enid!    Beautiful Enid!"
A wave of delieious color swept over her face an.l lliroat. Eor a second ber hanJs Irern'oled in mine, nay, cluni; to tbcm; her beautiful head drooped; ber eyes sought my eager gaze, and fell; then, with a quick gesture, she withdrew herself, aud iu cool, even tones welcomed Mr. Jerome Naylor, whu pushed aside thc purliore and walked quietlv intu the room.
Had be seen, bad be overbcird any portion of our interview'? It was im¬ possible to judge. lie was gallantly respectful towar.I Euid, and frauk and friendly toward me. Duriug the din uer ho conversed Hueutly, touching, as it appeared, casually, upon certaiu defalcations of a trusted clerk in a bank with wbich wo held intimate business relations. Once, and only onoe, 1 thought 1 delected that mnle- volent glance Hxed upou me; but if I was right it passed liko a Hash, and was not repeated.
I left the Day mansion wilh a heart that aang like a joyous bird, I was at peace with tbe whole world. Life was a glorious, gorgeousltbing. ThQ pnr¬ ple bud of hope seemed to bo upon the point of unfolding into spleudid llower. But 1 was reckoning without Jerome Navlor.
As tho days went by 1 became cog¬ nizant ot a whisper, whose source no ono conld trace—a whisper oi somo¬ thing wrong in the aocoants of tho bank; of money unappropriated, of books falsified. .Vbsorbed in my dreams I gave no heed to tho change in tbo demeanor of my fellow clerks, of the coldness oi my employer, of the glee of thc cashier, Jerome Naylor, until, without preparation, witbont warning, the blow fell! 1 was accused nf robbing the bauk of funtls en¬ trusted to my caro.
For the moment I wnn utterly stunned, proelrate, helpless! Wheu tbe charge wiis Hnng into my teeth I stared, stammered, stood thunder¬ struck, unable to defend myself, or to comprehend tbo magnitude of the crime of which 1 was declared gnilty.
I wns commanded to appear before my employer, at his residence, to un¬ dergo uu examination. When I en¬ tered tho room, Mr. Day, looking sad aud grave, woa seated before a small table covered with books and papers. .\t his olbow, witb an evil smile upon his dark features, sat Jerome Naylor. In a load, angry voice I denied tbe charge of a loog and systematic course of peonlation, and demanded tbe pro- duoliou of evidence. Mr. Day looked hesilnlingly at Naylor, who, drawing hia chair nearer tbe table, and clear¬ ing bis throat, began:
"I am sorry to see our youug friend adopting this unwise course, know¬ ing, as he mnst, that I bavo a oonfoa- sion of bis wrong doing, uuder his own hand and signature."
I stared at bim open-moathed. Tbe iufernal imprudence of the man u'ueo' lutely bewildered mc.
"Ves," he oontiuued, in o tone of profound melancholy, "more tbau five yesrs ago 1 detected this unfortunate young mau stealing money from tbo bank. 1 charged him with his crime, aod in tho agony of his remorse be wrote a full confessiou, begging mo to spare bim and to give him another chance. Considering bia years, and tbe fearfnl consequeuoes of such an exposure, I consented to condone his offence, making good his peculations from my own slender means,"
"Noble follow!" murmured Mr. Day, graspiua; his cashier's haud warmly, while I remaiuod mute, chok¬ ing with rago, incapable of utturiug a word in my own defeuco,
"But iu view gf these latler develop meutt," went ou tho cashier, "1 feel that I should do wrong to withhold the truth any longer."
"Surely! surely 1" ejaculated Mr. Day, gazing at me sadlr. "Hut I would never bave believod it ot you, Treseolt.    Never!"
"May 1 see that p.iper purporting to be my confession?" I aiked, finding m.-y voico at last. 1
"Do not let it pass out of yout band, Mr. Diiy," interposed Naylor, hastily.
"I do not desire lo tonch it,"I said. "If Mr. Day will ailow uie to look at It as it lies upou tbe table beforo bim, it will HuSloe."
Then 1 beut ovar and read; and as I read Ihe lett«rs awam before my eyes, and a thrill of utter terror seized my limbs, fur Ibere, in my own band- wriling, was a i-hameful coufession nl I'iu and degradation. My owu band- writing? No! n t houss nd times, no! I knew thnt it wna not, that my fingers liad ucvi-r penned thoce damuiug nordc. llul who could detect the dif¬ ference? Who would nail tho foul for«ery? No une, no one! For the muuicDt 1 felt crushiiil aud wholly lo.l.
.Kt I htood hiJiug my iace in my hands, feeling Ihnt in another moment I mnat sink to the Iloor, tbere was a light, quick step behind me, thc rus¬ tle ol skirts, a soft touchiuu my arm.
"I do uot —I e.anuot think wrong of yon, llegiiinlil," murmured a voice tbat thrilled evory nerve in my frame. "l''athcr, iet me loo'.i   at   that paper."
Mr. Day would have objected; .ler iiiuc Naylor. with a white face, at ti-nipted to i-unlcb tiie paper from her itraup. Iiut slie waa to.i iiuiek for hiiu. uu.l luKiu;; the writteu nUuet tu tlie V. liiiluw she utoo I slu iTiug it long aud iittcutively.
1 watclit I her breatbleisly. It i-^ime.l to lue tbat life, love, honor ilie whole luluro, ! iv ivi.r.ls she should utter; aud Naylor, .with hi-i drnivn, cbni-tly face, an-l Ibe old mnu. With hn mrrow.nl, bcnig- udut aniiecl, watched her too.

will prove it. " Looking Nnylor, wbo seemed scarcely oble to stand, straight in the face, sbo continued in Ibo sanie bell-like toues. "Uere is a confessiou wbich purports to hsve been writteu in May, ISnt, but it is on paper that wns not made until 1HS7! Will Mr, Naylor plea«o to explain?"
"Wbat do you mean?" cried Mr, D.iy, |in amazement.
"I.bok, fnther!" said Euid, holding Ihe sheet up before tho light. "Do you seo that watcr-mnrk? '.\mosk0a3 Mills, IS.'*:.'"
Mr. Dav gavo bnt 11 glance, then turned a darkly frowning face upon Naylu..
"Can you explftiu this?"   ho   askid.
Once, twice, Jerome Naylor essayed to speak, but could uot. Then, at length, a hoarse murmur escaped his lips:
"I loved her, and I kuew sho loved him!"
That was all. Stngcjeriug like a man stricken bliud, pitifully groping to¬ ward the door, he left the room and thc house.
He never returned to his dosk at tbo bank, and iu due courso 1 became cashier in bis place, I hold the water¬ mark beyond price, both because it saved mo from ruin and diagraco, and becnii.so it aidod mo lo win the sweet¬ est and noblest wife that ever fell to thc lot of undeserving mau.

There is a big lield iu Oermany for Americau rubbers, says United States Consul Monogban, at Chemnitz, in a report to tho State Department. At preseut Bussia is sup^ilying most of tbo rnbbers'worn in Uermauy, selling through agencies all over tbe empire, but neither the Bussian oor the Uer- man-maile artiole is as good as tbo Amerioan product, being olumay and lacking iu durability, although it commands tbe market just uow by reason of its lower price. Tbe Consnl also submits some statistics to show bow Germany is bailding np a large trade at England's expense witb Now Soatb Wales. Ho gives a list of tbe principal (lerman exports to tbat col¬ ony, and says tbey are not nearly aa good as our own wares, and witb tbo advantage of cheaper aud qaicker freights ncross the Pacific the United States should certainly have tbis trade. The Ocrmans, however, keep tbeir goods up tu or above sample, pack them with great care aud cmplov com¬ petent salesmen speaking several lan- guagea, and thus cuntiuuo to extend tbcir trade in all quarters. Circulars are, iu Mr. Monogban's opinion, not worth the paper tbey aro printed on ana means of introdaoing goods.— Washington Star.
