JENKINS. BY JOHN BERWICK, I was fortunate in my uncle. So everybody thought, for Uncle Bralth- walte was as " wealthy and thriving a manufacturer as any 1u Lambeth, and I, his dead sister’s son, Cyril Vaughan by name, was not merely drawing a falr salary with the prospect of a part- nership, but was actually engaged to be married to my second cousin, re- puted a great heirers--dear, sweot Lncy Braithwalte—the old man’s only child, He had won his own way ia lifo by rigid self-denial and unweary- ing industry during a joyless youth, and I doubt If he ever thoroughly en- joyed the fruits of his well-earned prosperity. It was only when his eye rested on his daughter's pretty face that his stern look relaxed. Lucy reminded him, doubtless, of her gentle mother. But he was a good master to & good servant, notably where le, who was by nature and habit suspl- cious, could repote full trust, He did so in his confidential olerk, Jacob Jenkins, That head clerk was one of a thousand. ‘‘Respectable Jenkins" was the nickname by which frrever- ent youngeters in the counting house spoke, with bated breath, of that pearl of clerks; but even those port oftice lads had a belief in the man—he was 80 respectable, with his lean, ! well shaven face, his neatly-brushed suit of formal black, and his square- toed boots. Never, as I have heard, in the twenty-nine years of his toil had honest Jenkins been known to aslk for a holiday, to ehirk extra work, oz to make & blunder as to tare and tret, a thing of moment with a firm ltke ours, large experters as wo were, Asfor myself, I am afraid that my poor merits, If I had any, were quite eclipsed by those of that commercial comet, Jenkins. Indeed, T kuow of no reason, except my blood relation- ship to our prinolpal, head of the | bouse of Braithwaite, Perry & Co., forany comparleon between that vet- eran of the desk and ry inexperienced self. But my uncle often said in his grufl way: ‘“‘Tske Jenkins for your model!” or “Cyril, lad, it will be one while before you fill Jenkins' shoes? See how neatly he settled that business with Obauvin et Fils, of Bordeaus, and | how cleverly ho avoided the heavy | loss of that last shipment when Kra- | kow & Kindergarten, fof Hamburg, | were going to smash,” | Yet I stuck to my work, young as I was, and did my bost not to be unde eerving of the prospective and somehow Igota v rinership, pression | in my head that, inatead of my boisg | jenlous of Jenking, Jenkins was jeal- | ous of ma, | One day there was a b hock to be \ | change l—nearer to three thousand | pounds than two—and it was my task, | no unusual one, to present tha draft | at Peabody & Sons’, Ia a house like | ours, where the furnaces were always | aglow, and tall chimneys always | | smoking, the outgoing for wages, | horse keep, fuel wud wages were, I | need hardly say, very large. On that day—how well I remember | fellows tc it!—I was in exceptionally high spirits. I had been talking with dear Luoy, and though her father, who sald that we children need not be ina hurry, would never consent to name even an upgmthu day for our wed- ding, still there was a vague prospeet of connubial bliss next -grlng. It was fine, bright weather, and on Tues- day there was to be a garden party at some Richmond villa, to which we were all to go, Altogether I was in excellent spirits, and as far as any man could be from dreaming of the evil that was to come. *‘How will you take 1t?" asked the bank cashier, “‘Short!” I answered, with a sort of boyish pride in my newly acquired familiarity with business phrases, and with my gold and notes I left tho bank, As I did so, a man staggered toward me, jostled me, then recled away, muttering ‘‘Beg pardon,” and would have fallen but for the support of my arm. I saw ina moment that the man was sober, but he looked ill, very ill, haggard, and hollow-eyed, though still young, and he was decently clad in a well-worn velveteen suit, with large bronza buttons, There was a smack of the country abont him, waif as he was in the midst of London, and his accent, so far as I could judge, was that of Yorkshire or Northamber- land. “You are ill, I fear,” I inquired, “and perhaps a stranger to London.” | “‘Nigh clemmed in this blessed Lon- don of yours, paved wi’'golden guineas as our crones say up in Craven,” mut- tered the countrymen in the same thin, reedy volce; ‘‘paved wi’ trape, say I, and causs for it, sinco all that gran- foyther stored up, whether for Bess and Bell or for me—""and then he would have fallen but for my assist- ance, Olearly the man was fainting, and from starva'ion, We had walked some distance In tempting proximity, at the corner of a side street, was a house, over the door of which, in great gold letters, gleamed the words, “Luncheon Bar.” Into this, quite instinetively, I half dragged, hali hustled the man. It was the middle of the day, lun- cheon time, a brisk hour for business in the city, in the eating and drinking entered was full of customers, young men mostly, nolsly chatting over their sandwiches, As I flung open the swinging door I folt sure that I oaught a glimpse of my uncle's confidential | clerk on the pavoment outslde. “Mr. Jenkins!"

Then a do tor was sent for, and the doctor was slow in coming. and I had explana. tion alter explanation to give, first to the dull-witted landlord who came blinklog out of a back parlor, then to inquisitive customers; and when at last & breathless surgéon, hastily sum. moned, came panting in t the heavy swing door, amld the surglog crowd, no at losst, and the placo I had | ;I:an was a necessary word so with m, ‘*‘But where is my patient?” asked the bewildered man of sclence; and, indeed, the *‘poor fellow” who was the objeot of all this stir had disappeared in the midst ot the hubbub, and with him had vanished the heavy, steel- clasped, black morrocco pocketbook which 1 remembered too late to have incautiously laid on a table in the flar- ry and confusion of our sudden and awkward entry, and which was gone, pitilessly gone. “Cynil Vaughan, [ always deemed you to be a simpleton—a soft, as we Yorkshire chaps say—but now I know yon to bo a knave!" thundered out my irate uncle, the north country so- cent in his wrathful volce becoming unusually predominent, “‘Had you not been my relative, had not my girl —who shall never be the wife of such a scoundrel - begged you off, I would have prosocuted you as I would any other rogue, and aent yon to quarry stons among convicts at Dartmoor or Portlaud, As it is, I won’t hear an- other word of your ligs or your ex- cuses. (o, wo! or I shall forget Lucy's pleadings, and act as a citizen, and not as o father, The confidence trick, eh! The countryman--the— I am not your dupe, lad! Go and get yourself hanged elsewhere! You won't starve on the sum of which you have robbed me.” Then came a terrible three months —{it was that or more—a tlme of de- prossion of crushed spirits, & half broken heart for me.

I was innocent, but Lucy was lost to me; my prospects | wero blighted, no one would give work to me, and T was poor, and sink- ing f st into the direst deptha of want. 1 remember how psle and thin and thabby I had become, when I recelved a vislt from my uocle's lawyer, Mr, Mordaunt “Mr. Vaughan, you wonder to see me,"” sald the shrewd solicitor, as he touk the broken chair I offsred him - my wretched room in subarban lodg- tng house contained but one—*‘but I come now ns 5 messenger of good tidlngs.

To her, in the doctor's presence, the dying man gasped out some inerticulate confession, clearing you from all blame but that cf a ored- ulity, pardonable at your age, and im- plicating most seriously another per- son. At his own desire his broken statemont was, by the doctor’s help, taken down in writing, but he died befora the narrative was complete, Miss Lacy had an interview with her father. T need scarcely say, on his roturn home, as a sequel to which Mr, Braithwaite, more agitated than I had over known him to be, called on me aud laid the matter before me. We, t00, had a lony talk, and the result of 1t was, Mr. Cyril, that on the follow- ing morniug I received a visit from— have you guessed it}—the confidential clork, Mr. Jonkins,” “‘Our Mr, Jenkins?" I resumed, per- plexed by the half-comic expression of the solicltor's faca. “‘Your Mr. Jenkius, if you will cling to the anclont formula,” assented the lawyer, with twinkling oyes. That commerclal luminary came to e blandly, unsuspecting—for, as it turned out, he had not even heard of the death of his accomplice. My first wct, when he had wmade his bow and seated himself in the client’s chair, wus to shut the docr and look it. When he heard the click of the lock, ho started and turned as pale as his shirt collar, ‘“Now, my frlend,’ I said to himin a frank, pleasant way, ‘my advice to you is, for your own good, to make a clean breast of it at once.” *Theu you sheuld have seen the in- genlous wonder of his interesting countonance, ‘“Ecouse me, Mr. Mordaunt, but I cannot have heard you aright,”’ he anid, after a pause, *'O4, yes, you have," sald I, shak- inga fiagor at bim. “‘Come, come, Mr. Jenkins, it is time for you to droj, the sheep's clothing and stand forth ae the wolf you are; only this 1 promise in Mr, Beaithwaite's name— thut if your revelations be fecll and ample, you shall have gentler and more gonerous treatment than you de- sorve, “‘A stormy colloquy ensued.
