Oue of them -at on @ rickety chair, his fee on the table. He was smoking and absently scanning the wails. The searc im, to his fastidious taste, was not an a.tractive plice, but his friend- shiv for the young editor, who was working hard at a desk, drew him here everyevening, ©: the wall hung two cheap and melancholy chromos 0: Grant and Garfield, still wearing dusiy draperies of crape. The corner of one ted down, the corner sf the other tilted up, and In the space between the wall and picture wi-e and indus- triqus spiders had span abidin + places, confident that no in «rloping broom would disturb them. O1 a table ta ag bound files of th. Journal, Tie just on them was only disturbed when the editor desired to look up some edi- torial which woul! do to use again. The telephone was convenient to the table, and on th: wall beside it were some fresco ornanentations which might be traced to the “devil.” A big- bodicd brass Inmp, with the corps:s «f bandreds of summer ins:cts glued to i: by the exuding coa oil, sat on the table. Somebody had improvise! a shade by cutting « hole in a pivce of paper an: putting it over the chimney. ‘The @ueilage bottle, inkstand and shears were side by side as if realy to abot ~-@32h other in any unlertnking.

Why did it never strike me. Why Ful- ton——.”” But that gentleman was already half way down stairs, and Edwards’ en- thusiasm took the for: of a long and minute letter to Washington Irving, editor f the Newton Critic. setting forth the estimable benefits that would accrue to that paper ‘rom & permanent union with the Bloomville Journal. “From a long equaintance with you editorially,”" so ran the letter, “I am certain that our united work would result in un- usual success, The wonderful tact and observation manifesied in your eneral articles combined with my wractical knowledve would make the Bloomville Journal a paper of the wighest class." Then followed finan- cial propositions, very hheral ones, for John Edwaris was the embodiinent of liberality both in theory and practice. The sixteen hours that elapsed be- fore an aiswer came were long ones o the impatient young editor. Final- ly he broke the seal. A letter court- cous and liberal in tone as was his own concluded thus: ‘Iam as highly pleased with the idea of a consolida- tion as yourself. My papa has al- ways lacked the element which can supply, viz: greater practical knowl- «lye than I possess, having be-n edu- cated for an entirely different profes- ‘ion and drifting into this merely by accident.

Never had he met such a charm- ing entertainment, never such unas- suming and pleasant hospitality, as in be Irving mansion. R-member, no business to-night,” Fulton had said, as they pulled the bell. Mr. Irving, however, was not at home, a fact that Edwards had no oc- casion to regret after he had met the iadies of the homesteal. Elwarids was aman much admired by women. His society was grvaily sought by the cul- tivated Bloomville ladies, anid the fact He claims to be a third cousin of the Miss Irving, the sister, is » daisy of the girl. 1leec her Tl tell you, EBiwards, how Fulton lighted a wisp of paper, held it morning. An office boy was dusting it and had the windows raised. Ed- ward smiled as he surveyed it. He walked to the desk, on which stood a vase of flowers, fresh the day be- fore. A pile of letter-heads with “New- ton Weekly Critic, M. W. Irving, ed- itor,”’ printed at the top, lay on the desk. Instinctively he threw his cigar away. Tle verv air of the place said ‘no smoking allowed.’’ He was in- tent on hie admiring examination when there was a step on the stair and a lady entered with a bouquet in her hand. “Ah, Miss Irving!’ and Edwards stepned forward to greet her as she sank into a large chair. ‘You fill the editorial chair very well."’ As to draperies, yes,” she laughed. “But when am I to see this very ex- elusive M. W. Irving, your brother? I have not many more hours in this pleasant loitering-place.”’ Miss Irving looked archly at him “Have you not guessed that M W. Irving is—myself? Mary Washington Irving. They had to get our distin- guished relative's name in some- where."? She paused and looked at Elwards. An expression of almost pitiful perplexity was on his face. “But,” he gasped, “your brother, the editor.”’ “I am the editor,” sbe said, quietly, disliking to laugh at him in his em- barrassment. “It was your own mis- take, Mr. Edwards and it was xo funny that Mr. Fulton and all of us let Bennett, Wheeler & Co., Dealers in tne Celebrated ohn Deer : Bradley Stirring Plows (Bradley, Canton.
