Mr. B idger withdrew his arm from
Brindsli-y's, and limping ti few steps forward
very iincerenioniously placed the disengaged
member within that of the astonished yoting

man's discomposure, but staring at the young
lady made one of his profound and graceful
saliitations.
Mr. Brintlsley purposely passed them to
enjoy the troubled look of theassailed young
gentleman, the confusion ofthe belle, and
the truly delightful etise and selfpossessed
gr.ice of Mr. Badger. '
Mr. Brindsley walked halfa dozen blocks
before his friend joined him.

Mr. Badger entered the office. _It was
filled with persons busily engaged in con-

him and looked somewhat inclined to get

thrusting out his hand to each in turn. he

That hour found him once more on the
steps of Mr. Lorimere’s mainsion. His loud

The man's half uttered “.\-l r. Loriinere is out"
was interrupted by B.idgor—
Ihavc an appointment with Mrs. Lori-

“He did not say ‘.\’ll€n he would come back.

With this consoling assurance Mr. Budg-

The next morning Mr. Loriinere gaw-
strict ordets to the servants not to admit a
geritlenian with a long thin fn(‘P, ii white bin
and but one decent foot. Mr. Badger, who
was gifted with some faculty resembling sec.‘-'
nnd sight, had foreseen this. He paid no vis-
it to to Bond-street that day.
About three o'clock he entered the fash-
ionable tailoring establishiiient on the 'cor—
l]t'l‘ of \Vnll-strt.-ct and Broadway.
How do you do Mr. Scofield-?
How are yoti i\lr. Badger?

Nothing, thank you, but permit me to-"see

Mr. Badger carefully stationed himself in
one corner ofthe large window which looks
out upon Broadway. _
I wohder who that fellow is_ lying in wait
for. said Scofield to one of his clerks.
"Here, \Villiam, watch and tell uie whom
he pouilces upon. _
A number of Mr. Badger’-s friends (all per-
sons from whom he had money to collect he
styled his intiniate frienrls) passed by the
_window to their waytodinni-r.
Still he kept his post. At lasttwo gentle-
