In atl hisdealings this maxim was alone regarded; and he was never satisfied untess in bargain- ing. he secured the greater advautage, a thing that pretty generally occurred. There resided in the same town with Tilgh- man—a western town—a certain young lady, whose father owned large amount of proper- ty. She was his only child, and would fall heir to all his wealth. Of course this young lady had attractions that were felt to be of a mort weighty character by certain young men in the town, whe made themselves as agree- able to her as possible. Among these was Lawrenec Tilghman. “Larry,”’ said a friend to him one day— they had been talking about the lady—‘Its no use for you to play the agreeable to Helen Waleot “And why not, pray?’ returned Tilghman. “They say she’s enguged.”’ “To whom?”’ “To a young man in Columbus, Ohio.” “Who says su?” = can't mention my authozity, but it’s good. “Engagod, ha! Well, I'll break the en- Sagemeut, if there's any virtue in trying.” “You will?” s “Certainty. Helen willbe worth o plum when her futhor dies, and I’ve made up my wind (o handle some of his thousands.”? Bat certainly, Larry, you would not at- tempt to interfere with the merriage con- tr i don’t belicve any contract exists,’ re- plied the young man. “Anyhow, while a lady issingle d regard her asin the market, and to be won by the boldest.” _ “Still, we should have some respect for the rights of others. ‘Every one for himself in this worid,”’ re- plied Tighman. +L ismy motto. If you don’t care of yourself yeu'll be shoved to the wall iu double quick time. Long ago, 1 Tesolved ty put some forty or fitty thousand dollars between myself and the world by mor- riage, and you may be sure I will not let this tunity slip fur any consideration. Helen ioval evidence of the fact that the young lady was under engagement of mar- nage, soon came to ears ot Tilghman. The effect was to produce aclosor attention on his part to Helen, who, greatly to his uneasines. did not seem to give bim much encour: ment, although she treated him with p ness and attention whenever he called to see her. But it was not true, as Tilghman had heard, that Helen wasengaged to a young man in Columbus; though it was true that she was in correspondence with a gentleman named Waiker, and that their acquaintance was i mute and fast approaching a love-like char- acter Still she was not indifferent to the former, and as he showed co strong a preference for her, began gradually, to feel au awakening interest. Tilghman was quick to poreeive this, and it greatly elated him. Iu the exul- tation of his feelings, he said to bi : “Dll show the Coiuwbus man that I'm worth a dozen of him. The boldest wins the fur. I wouldn't give much for engage- iment.’’ t Tilghmen was a merchant, and yisited tho £ twice every year for the purpose of buy- ing goods.

Because bo paid hie halfdollar for meals at the tayornsen the way, Tilgh- men seemed to feel himself licensed to gormandize at a beastly rate. The moment he sat down to the table he would seize upon the most desirable dish near him, and appro- priate at least a half, if not two thirds, of what it contained, regardless uttorly of hie fellow passengers; then be would oall the next most desirable dish if he could not reaoh it and help himself after a most liberal fashion. in eating he seemed tore | ke a hungry dog, in his coruestness, than a man_ possessing a grain ofdcocncy. When the time came to part with bim his fellow travellers rejoiced at being rid of one whose utter selfishness filled them with Jisguct. fo Philadelphin and New York, where Tilghman feit tiat he was entirely unknown, he indulged in uncivilized propensities to their full extent. At one of the hotels, just before leaving New York. to return to, Balti- more. and there take the cars for the West again, he met tle young man referred to as a travelling companion, aod remarked the fact that Le recognized and froquently ubserved him. Under this observation, as it seemed to havo something sinister in it, Tilghman felt at times a little uneasy, and at the hotel table rather curbed his greediness when this in- | dividual was present.

Several persons sitting near by had taken more interest in our young gentieman who was looking after nnmber one, than in the dinner before them, and when this little inoi- dent occurred, could not suppross a titter. Hearing this, Tilgsman became suddenly conscious of the ludicrous figure he had made, aad glanced quickly from face to faee. The first countenance his eyes rested upon was that of the young mau who had been his stage companion ; near him was a lady who had thrown back her veil and whom he in stantly recognized as Helen Walcot’ She it was who stood behind him when the clerk ejected him from his chair, and she had been au eye witness of his sayings and doings since he dropped im his present place at the table. So much had his conduct affected her with a sense of the ridiculous, that she could not suppress the smile that curled her lips. a smile that was felt by Tilghman as the deathblow to all his hopes of winning ber far his bride.
