K pi C1IA.PTEU dl. A TliR I.0VB11S. ?J Back from the mailt street of lovely Fair- w view stood u substantial stone mansion, whose style of architecture would proclaim ? it a dwelling of some age?more after the old " Kli'.ahcthan pattern. I' The storm* of many years had howled about its ancient gables and chimneys, yet it *! was apparently able to stand the weather of a another ccnt\jry ere succumbing. It was surrounded by a noble growth of *! oaks and qpdars, and from the latter had derived its name?Cedarcroft. u Its tlauctunt extended far back from the w street or avenue upon which it stood, em- a, bracing in all some hundred acres of wood- ri laud, merging finally upon a lower country road upon the shores of Crystal Lake. The proprietor of this lordly estate was a h rich Xow York speculator in Wall street, by natno Howard ScookwelJ.

Many attributed this, very naturally, t s victory on the lake, but it was in reailt, rery different motive. Tom was, in fact upon the eve of takin; s first lesson in selftfenial. For Tom, as 1 have several times before re arked, was poor, nay penniless, and unllki s associates had uot a handsome revenue o feW thousands coming into bis coffer Dnthly. Even the very dress*ult which he won ton the present Evening had served In tba parity nesriy two years, and was sadij ived and almost threadbare. And he had no immediate prospect of ob ning another, for his funds were exceed ;ly low, and unless some interposition ol Bcial Providence replenished them h< tuld be compelled to go to the trail. This was to him like muning upon the n of a p recipice with the dread fear ol Ing at any moment consigned to the PtiiSi &nd actuated by this knowledge of his exKlingly precarious foothold and position society he was led to make a step which >ved the turning point in his life. Itia possible to say what might have become gay, fun*loving, yet at heart welNmeanIng m, had not an overwhelming combination circumstances served to make a change in career. Yhen he arose the next morning, after the iht's.festlvltles, his head ached and a feel* ! of languor'had possession of him. ie did not go immediately down to breakt, hut dressed himself, and seating himself vwjwpcn wmuuw, WI1ICU lOOKL'U OUl U 1)011 i crystal lake, the scene of his triumph of i preceding day, gave himself up to bitter lections. 'or an hour he sat there in moody specuion, then all of a sudden a light broke oss his. handsome face, and, suddenly iuglng to his feet in his characteristic ? ay, wrought his flat down forcibly upon the sslng caso. i will do it," be muttered 10 descended to tho kitchen where his ither was preparing the morning meal, for i Hatkaways were ftpor and did not keep vanta, 'Mother," be exclaimed, catching her in strong arms; "mother, I have got it!" ilrs. Hathaway, a mild, blue-eyed little ly of forty-live, and to whom Tom was deadly attached, as sho was to him, turned on him a look of gentle surprise. 'What have you got, Tom?" 'What have I got, mother ? This?a deternation to be a gentleman loafer no longer l resolve to throw aside the old life and go th into the world to prove mvself a man/' low impulsive Tom kept his resolve the der shall see in the course of this narrae. 'hat evening he stood in the drawjng-room the Stockwell mansion, and Minnie Stock11 stood before him, both her hands in his, 1 her beautiful blue eyes upturned to his idsorae fuce. Then you are going away, Tom; going to ve the town?"' Yes, Minnie; and you can never know pain it gives mo to part from you." Hut Why do you go?" Because Minnie," said poor Tom, desperly, "because 1 am poor and cannot keep the appearance 1 have been maintaining society longer. Ob, heaven.' you can 'er know the humiliation of poverty." Would to heaven I did!" ejaculated the utlful girl. "To tell the truth, Tom, I tired and heartily sick of the life I lead, ate society, ind'dress and fashion. I wish Id not have a rich father sometimes; it is h a burden to keep up style." Then you do not care for a man's pover' said Tom, softlvpressing the little nands iter between his big palms; "would you be itent to share his lot so long as you loved i h? lliof wlmt It iiwm'1' Even so. Sureiy love that is not selfrificing is valueless." Thank heaven for I hat sentiment, Minsaid Tom, suddenly drawing her to j. "You have given me worlds of eniragement. I can go forth now and breast storms of life with a braver heart know, that I possess the love of one so true anil tot asyourself. Forgive me for the out st, but I could not help it. It was alyu a way with me to speak blunt-like, you ?w." I shall pray for your success, Tom, daily, 1 hope that the day will not be fur dist when you may come back " A man! interrupted Tom, eagerly. "Ay, I if such a thing lie possible 1 will prove self such. Then I wjII return. Uut would i wait for me, Minnie? Could you content irself to tarry such a length of time for h an uncertainty?" Tom," said pretty Minnie, firmly, putting h hands upon his shoulder, "I have tolu lonccthatas long as life lasts 1 will be a to you. With you I can be hanpy; withyou the world is bare and devoid of aught happiness. Is not that a sufficient aciwledgment?" Ay.'" cried Tom. "And, an heaven is my ness, I will be true to you, Minnie, and y you never rue the step you have taken, i have made a man of Tom Hathaway, rview's greatest scapegrace, and you shall er be sorry of your bargain if 1 can help To-morrow 1 will start forth to achieve in and fortune." Where will you go, Tom - not away from rview?" Mot if I can help it, Minnie. I would be far away from you. Yet, on the whole, dnk it would be better to go abroad to It my fortune." Oh, do not, Tom!" ib nuuiit umy uu a anon lime; men 1 (lit return to you a man worthy of your e, truu heart," said Tom, gazing with iction down into the pleading blue eyes. >ur not for me, love,. .With ihoassurance our love I could breast a thousand atorms I surmount uny obstacle, however large, ill not be away long, Minnie, then I will irn and claim you with wealth and an lorablenamc to offer you. It will not be long, and wait patiently, love, for the ir which shall bring us again together. i.n<l this was how dare-devil Tom Hath?y started out in life. lie future looked bright and promising to i now, for his love for Minnie Stockwell 1 endowed him with a strong courage, tut little he knew what was awaitngliira ond the misty vail of the future, which, tunately for them, no mortals can pierce. CHAPTER V. THE DUEL. 'om was employed us a banking clerk in Fairview National Batik, of which WesBrandon was president. Us position was one of much trust and portonce, but the pay was exceedingly ill, unci on'y served to keep him clothed & sort of threadbare style. ?ow that he had made a Arm resolution to lomonmanhe was resolved to give up s petty olllco and seek for something more :ratlvc abroad. le would have loft that very day, but that engagement held hi in until another clerk lid be procured to till his place, and, ever ve to a sense of honor, he would not leave present employer hi the lurch. Jul much to Tom's disappointment the Icersof the bank, who were loth to let him did not immediately find one to succeed n, and he was detained longer than was jsistcnt with his wishes. d#nn while Hartley Brandon,chafing under i defeat in the bout ruce and iealousof the entlons paid the beautiful Minnie Stock11 by hia rival, Tom Hathaway?tor Brann was among tbo unfortunate ones who il sought the oeauty's hand?was not idle his schemes of venaeance. He was fully resolved to wreak revenge on his foe, and that at any cost. Dark and irderous was the hatred he bore him, and would pause at no light scruples in his dertaklng. Ki first he h|fl thought of bringing Tom to millation by ousting him from hiaposln in the bank. As his father was Presint, this would pot have been a ditlicult itter; but he was somewhat surprised to d th?tToiu had already sentln his resignan. At this be was not a little surprised and ystifleif. lie knew verir well Tom's dr instance?, and also that he had hitherto rod much on this situation for support. What would he do now? Wn?t was hii ea ip quitting the bank? "Perhaps he thought it better," lie finallj Id himself, with characteristic arrogance ie-probably realised that he would have it t out before long, and thought it would bt iter to retire-gracefqlly." He now looked forward to the coming due square accounts with his enemy, and i m with a feeling of certain triumph an< laltatlon that he daily examined and madi uctlcp with bis case of Milanese rapiers. For rapiers were the weapons ne hai tosen, in the use of which few were roor h7 had when in Italy taken a course ii nclng leasons from the best sword master It . r- Florence, and fait himself able tomes tat one At the art r- Tom., be knew, did not know anythli L about fencing, and thla knowledge gave bli wonderful assnranoe and courage. "I will show him," be muttered, "If he dl i- beat me In the boat race there's a game h ie cannot beat me at, and the laws are sue y that if I kill him in a context of honor, duo ir aa thla will be, it will not be murder. Al ?, Tom Hathaway, you shall rue the day yo >- ever crossed Hartley Brandon." The whole Tillage knew that Brandon an 0 Hathaway were-to flght a duel? but where q y when it waa to transpire was known only t the seconds. I? Edward 8lnclair was Tom's second, an Brandon had secured as his one Howard Ben h son, a genteel ruffian and a man whom tin d banker's son knew. He could rely upon bio f in any case of villainy. 1 The day Anally arrived, or rather evening for it wss decided to light by moonlight, am s from the "Globe," a fashionable club-housi t on Falrview'a principal street, there drovt - away early in the evening a close carriage in which were seated two men?Brandon am - his second. The place appointed for the meotfng waj f in a little forest glade two miles from the i town, and when Brandon arrived there fc< found hia adversary awaiting bim. i Throwing aside his heavy cloak Braedon [ advanced into the clearing, rapier in band, i In its centre flood a tall; dark-clad perron, with a slouch-brim hat, and also holding in his right hand a long, keen-pointed sworu. It waa Tom Hathaway?dare-devil Tom. whoa moment ago would have enjoyed the i situation for its very daredevil nature, but who was now strangely pale and ill at case. "Ah, you are here,'1 wild Brandon, in hia most insolent tone. Indeed, it gives me pleasuro to meet you." For a moment Tom did not speak, then in a husky voice he exclaimed: "This Isywu, Hartley Brandon?" "That is my name." "You are bore to meet me in mortal combat r Yea." "In accordance with an agreement made between us two 7" "Certainly." said Brandon, In surprise. "Hartley Brandon, have von rnn?ld??r<?d the step we are about to'take, both of us ?" "What doyou mean V "This: Have you considered the fearfully fatal consequences this deadly encounter over an exceedingly trivial cause might engender?" *'I have considered nothing, pauper! 1 have come here this evening to fight you as agreed. No further parley. Are you ready? It so stand upon your guard." "Hold, Hartley Brandon 1" and there was a tone of command in Tom's ringing voice which checked the other in apiteof himself. "Stop where you are; you have no right to begin this contest until 1 am ready. 1 would speak a few words with jou ere we cross weapons." "Speak thera," grunted Brandon. "I have considered the consequences of this duel, Hartley Brandon, if you have not. One of us must die, and tho other be banished from home for many years, or stand before a tribunal of justice and receive punishment. And for what? A few hasty words, a few angry feelings." "Shall we allow such a trival dispute to perhaps take our lives, and if not forever blast our after careers?'' Brandon, mystified, did not reply. "I, for one, say no," said Tom, in a firm voice. "Tne cause was nothing. I, for one candidly speaking, am sorry for my part in it, and oner a full apology. Let us, then, joiu hands, put away our weapons, and it we cannot 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 Hathaway? He could not understand it Why did he not want to fight? Was lie afraid of defeat? This was tbe way the thing looked, but 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 guessed at once the truth. Tqm was not actuated by motives of fear, but dread of disgrace, not only in the eyes of the world, but pretty Minnie 8tockwell as well. This realization sent a keen pang of jealousy and rage] through tho soul of the villain, and nerved 1 him to despcratidfi. IIo would never throw j aside bis coveted revenge, which he had to j .long waited for, now, for a few scruples of conscience. , No. Tom Hathaway should fight him, and he would teach him a lesson which would serve to warn him in the future from crossing Hartley Brandon. "Tom Hathaway," he said, in a sneering i insolent tone, "the conscquences of this question of honor no gentleman would pause to consider, and this is a late hour to back out. Jf you were afraid to light you should have said so iti the first place. As it is I put you upon your honor to meet me." "You will not accept mv apology?'1 "1 accept no apology cxcept at the point of I my sworu." "I cannot- fight vou, Hartley Brandon. I have sworn not to. "Liar and coward," cried the infuriated villain. "You are afraid. You shall light me, by all the powers of evil! Stand upon your guard or I will kill you!" Brandon made h savage lunge, but Tom caught the point of his rapipr and whirled it aside like a whip with hisown trusty weapon. "Beware, Hartley Brandon!" ho cried. "I bid you stand back!" "And 1 bid you come on," cricd the maddened ruflian. "If you are not a coward, come on!" Tom drew back and evaded dexterously the savage thrusts made at him, stauding on the defense. The truth was he was an expert swords-1 man, superior even to Brandon, having been trained from infancy by his father, who had I once taught the craft. I Bright glistenud the steel blades in the moonlight, until at length, with a magnifi-1 cent counter-play, Tom, who had been coolheaded all the while, ran the point of hisl sword down the other's blade, locking it in the scrollwork at the hilt, and, with a dexterous fling, sending it many yardsaway into j the bushes. Astounded, enraged beyond measure, Brandon stood befare 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 I have fought you contrary to my vow, but 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 seethed in his black heart.

His office is on the first floor of the building, and its walls are covered with thousands of photographs of gentlemen and ladies restored to health by the use of | Samaritan Nervine, among whom our reporter recognized many of bis own countrymen, and its glass canes contain innumerable certificate of cures and letters in praise of this world-famous remedy. , About ten years ago Dr. Richmond came to tit.

Uo has' achieved a grand triumph, in the face of stubborn opposition^!) every hand, and is today one of the wealthiest men in our midst. This fact alone is amply sufficient to show the merits of his invaluable preparation, even though there were no other sources from which to procuro valid and reliable testimony. But besides the money which this great medicine has been the means of bringing to the inventor, the doctor receives daily the blessings of thousands of patients restored to health and happinets through his instrumentality.
